Chapter 182: A Story Within a Story 3
"It's nothing. Chen Xiuyuan looked at Su Lingyun's expression and sneered: "Anytime someone engages in this kind of method, who knows that when they are manipulating other people's fate and sacrificing other people's lives to meet their own interests, they are also cutting off their own way out." This was just the beginning, and then something even more infuriating happened, the biological father handed over his own biological daughter to the enemy for his own benefit, and this enemy was the high priest of the Lunatic Cult, Yun Xi!"
"What? Yun Xi, talking about him so soon?" Su Lingyun was completely interested, and looked at Chen Xiuyuan without blinking, like a kindergarten child listening to a wonderful story told by a teacher.
"Not yet, don't worry, let's talk about Gongzi Shuye and his best friend Moxiang first. β
"Hmm. Su Lingyun nodded and did not interrupt Chen Xiuyuan again.
At that time, Sha Manhua saw countless Central Plains martial arts masters break into the Kunlun Holy Land, and then go on a killing spree, and those who can come to the Kunlun Holy Land are all elite masters in the Central Plains martial arts, and there are many of them, and the people of the Ming Sect did not expect that the people of the Central Plains Martial Arts would suddenly attack them, and they were caught off guard. Blood stained the entire Kunlun Peak, Sha Manhua watched one by one Central Plains martial arts masters wantonly kill their companions, where did they not know what happened, remorse and anger made her unable to extricate herself, watching Mo Xiang escape from the mountain road of the cliff with the sluggish Shu Ye, Sha Manhua, who was full of complicated emotions in his heart, finally raised his silver bow to Gongzi Shu Ye, saying that the silver bow was quite similar to the one of the Cangyue Sect Master, and I don't know if there is any connection. And Sha Manhua shot thirteen arrows at Shu Ye, nailing Shu Ye to the cliff wall alive, Shu Ye once retained a few strands of Sha Manhua's hair, hidden in his chest, and was also shattered by the sharp arrow qi into Shu Ye's flesh and blood. At that time, Gongzi Shuye's brain was completely in chaos, and he was carried by Mo Xiang and escaped from the Kunlun Holy Land in a daze. And those masters of the Central Plains martial arts were all trapped in the Kunlun Holy Land, after all, there are still many top masters in the Ming Sect, especially the Pope Horn of the Ming Sect, who is even more powerful, which should be equivalent to the current peak of the heaven level. β
After Gongzi Shu Ye was betrayed by Mo Xiang to Kunlun, he fled to the desert, and after Shu Ye came to his senses, he was full of hatred for Mo Xiang, but Mo Xiang also knew that he was sorry for Shu Ye, and he was beaten and scolded along the way, and he never fought back. Fleeing all the way to Dunhuang with the seriously injured Shu Ye on his back, in the vast Gobi Desert, there is no water and no food, Mo Xiang cut his own blood vessels and fed his blood to Shu Ye, Shu Ye was finally moved by his friends, and also forgave Mo Xiang, he knew that Mo Xiang had been manipulated by the people of the Central Plains Martial Arts, and he had suffered a lot. Mo Xiang finally found a horse outside Dunhuang, attached Shu Ye to the horse, and engraved the four blood characters of Gongzi Shu Ye on the horse's head, and sent Shu Ye back to Dunhuang. β
"Ah, isn't that Shu Ye seriously injured, and isn't there a Lady Yaohua in Dunhuang who wants to kill him, isn't that dangerous?"
Chen Xiuyuan glanced at Su Lingyun with a smile, but this time he didn't blame her, but praised her, and nodded: " Yes, Mo Xiang also knew that it was difficult for Shu Ye to deal with various conspiracies with his seriously injured body after he went back, so he secretly protected Shu Ye and resolved countless conspiracies and calculations for him, until then the old city lord, that is, Shu Ye's father, was seriously ill and handed over Dunhuang City to Shu Ye before he died, and Mrs. Yaohua was also given to death by the old city lord, she was scheming, but she didn't know that the old city lord had already known about her collusion with Mingjiao, but the old city lord loved her deeply, so he didn't mean to expose her, but when the old city lord knew that his life was short, he was worried that there would be no successor in Dunhuang City, so he had to make this decision and give Yaohua to deathγ β
"Isn't there still a Liancheng, why didn't the old city lord pass on the position of city lord to Liancheng?"
"Liancheng? At that time, Liancheng was just a child, and he grew up under Yaohua's favor since he was a child, although he was not like his mother, because he loved him too hard, he became ruthless and vicious, but he was also too immature, and he couldn't support such a great cause of Dunhuang, if anyone controlled it, he could be regarded as an absolute emperor of the soil. Even the Emperor of the Central Plains can't manage that far. β
Chen Xiuyuan turned around and didn't continue, but asked Su Lingyun, "Lingyun, how are you feeling now?"
"Well, it's much better, Brother Xiuyuan, you are really powerful, you haven't been cultivating for a long time, your strength is so strong, and you will definitely be able to become a strong person like Lord Longzun in the future. β
Chen Xiuyuan nodded, and shook his head again, how did Su Lingyun know his real goal of becoming a master in the late Yuan Infant period? That would be too much to look down on Chen Daguan to reincarnate and rebuild these two lives.
did not continue to dwell on this topic with Su Lingyun, paused, and then said, "After Mo Xiang settled Shu Ye properly, he went to the imperial capital, relying on his own means and the huge wealth that Shu Ye gave him every year, he quickly recruited a large number of people to form his own team, under the slogan of supporting the emperor and suppressing civil strife, pacified the world, and exterminated the four rebellious vassal kings. He was given the title of Dingjian Marquis, and his means reached the sky, up to the Jiuding Supreme, down to the sword rivers and lakes, he could call the wind and rain, and the noble disciples of the imperial capital were proud to be able to call him a master. β
After Shu Ye took full control of Dunhuang, he sent his younger brother Liancheng to the imperial capital as a hostage. β
"Then why didn't Shu Ye kill Liancheng? That Liancheng is the one who competes with him for the right to inherit, didn't you say that Dunhuang is located in a remote area, and even the emperor can't manage it, and Mo Xiang is still the Marquis of Dingjian, it should be easy to kill Liancheng?" Su Lingyun turned into a curious baby at this time, and kept asking.
"Hehe, even you misunderstood Shu Ye, even if Liancheng's mother is not in a thousand ways, she did those things because of her love for Liancheng, these have nothing to do with Liancheng, Liancheng didn't know some things his mother had done to his brother Shu Ye from beginning to end, until something happened later. β
"Then since Shu Ye doesn't blame Liancheng, why did he send him to the imperial capital as a hostage, I heard that those who were hostages in ancient times were miserable. Su Lingyun was still a little puzzled, her little hand dragged her delicate chin, looked at Chen Xiuyuan and asked.
"If it's an ordinary person, it's just that, but there is a Dingjian Marquis in the imperial capital, and a sentence from Dingjianhou is sometimes even more useful than the emperor's words, but the name is not right. The reason why Shu Ye sent Liancheng to the imperial capital was actually to find an heir for Dunhuang. β
"Why? Shu Ye finally regained what belonged to him, why did he let it out instead?"
Because since he was nailed to the cliff by Sha Manhua with thirteen arrows in a row on the Kunlun cliff, looking at Sha Manhua's heartbroken eyes, Shu Ye's heart has died, and the only support for his life is to hope to resolve the original misunderstanding with Sha Manhua. For Shu Ye, no matter how much fame and no amount of profit there is, it can't match Shamanhua's beautiful smile. He is different from Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang has been manipulated as a chess piece since he was a child, and when he escaped from Kunlun, he wanted to ask for his identity as a chess piece, and then control the world and become a chess player himself. And Shu Ye values the feelings more, he values his friendship with Mo Xiang, so he forgave Mo Xiang for everything he did at the beginning, he values his relationship with Sha Manhua, so he has been waiting for the foolish wait to see Sha Manhua again, and the wealth of Dunhuang is like a cloud, he values the brotherly affection between himself and his younger brother Liancheng, so he sent Liancheng to the imperial capital, and asked Moxiang to cultivate Liancheng well, so that Liancheng can learn various means, and then return to Dunhuang to regain the position of city lord from him, so that Shu Ye can let go of everything and go to find his Sha Manhuaγ β
Su Lingyun was stunned when she heard it, and was completely moved by Shu Ye's love for Sha Manhua, the bright waves in her eyes flowed, revealing endless yearning, and her eyes looking at Chen Xiuyuan became more and more hot.
Chen Xiuyuan himself was also immersed in the story, and did not notice Su Lingyun's expression, but continued: "But when Liancheng finally came back from the imperial capital, he ridiculously carried a holy decree and wanted to remove Shu Ye from his position and then become the lord of Dunhuang. β
The corners of Chen Xiuyuan's mouth showed an unfathomable smile, as well as a hint of emotion, when Su Lingyun heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a surprised smile: "Then why is Liancheng so stupid, he thinks that he can take power from his brother in this way, are people in ancient times so stupid." How did that ink fragrance do it, how could it make Liancheng look like that. β
"Hehe, the reason why Mo Xiang taught Liancheng like this is also a deep meaning. At that time, after Liancheng returned to Dunhuang, he was directly captured by the Shenwu Army under Shu Ye's command, and was locked up with one of his mother's former maids, Lu Ji, who had been thinking about avenging Mrs. Yaohua, and now Liancheng is back, so she began her revenge plan. Shamanhua shot Gao Shuye 13 arrows in a row, and since then she has not been able to hold a bow for three consecutive years, and finally she begged the Ming Pope to seal her golden needle on the back of her head, only to forget Gao Shuye and pick up her silver bow and golden arrows again. β
"Doesn't Sha Manhua love Shu Ye, why should you forget him?" Su Lingyun suddenly exclaimed, she didn't expect that the two people who should love each other turned out to be like this, "The two of them are so pitiful." β
After saying a word, Su Lingyun fell silent again, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It's really pitiful, but fate is so tricky, it's always difficult for people who love each other to be together. Chen Xiuyuan couldn't help but think of Zheng Dan at this time, the girlfriend of his life, her gentle and light and lovely smile, and her immortal face imprinted in his mind.
