Chapter Ninety-Five: Alive
It was almost late at night, and the cold dew was aggravated.
The slightly cool and humid air is filled with the smell of earth, and there are faint green fireflies flying everywhere, and the stars perch on the soft blades of grass.
"Tang Luo, you obviously know that even if you die, it won't help, these people will never come back! Why do you have any trouble doing this? β
Ye Lingyi sighed as if wrapped in the helplessness of the two lives, squatted down, looked at the depressed man, and suddenly began to sympathize with him in his heart.
"You went to Baijia Lane today to kill Liu Shilang, right?"
Her voice was soft, and her timbre sounded very pleasant.
When it got into Tang Luo's ears, it made his mind turbulent.
The man couldn't help but look up, his deep eyes filled with shock, and looked at her, as if silently asking, "How do you know?" β
Previously, it was clear that only Empress Liang and him and the henchman next to Empress Liang, Mama Lin, knew about the plan to assassinate Liu Shilang tonight, and she never revealed it to anyone, and it was even more impossible for Empress Liang, Mama Lin was also Empress Liang's confidant, and she had a place in the palace by relying on Empress Liang, and she would never betray Empress Liang.
Even if the people in Baijia Alley guessed that the palace would send someone to assassinate the backbone of the emperor's pro-government, how did they know that the time was today? And Ye Lingyi and Helian Che are both people of the Empress Liang like him, so they can turn a blind eye to him, why did they bring people to arrest him?
Ye Lingyi took his suspicious look in his eyes and smiled: "You must be very curious how I would know the purpose of your trip to Baijiaxiang, I can tell you that it was actually the emperor who received a news that someone revealed to him that Empress Liang or the cronies who were placed by the emperor's side assassinated Liu Shilang, leaving the officials who supported the pro-government leaderless, but I didn't expect that the person who was sent was you." β
In fact, to be precise, the news that Li Yuanlin received was that Empress Liang might send a military force to the emperor's side to assassinate Liu Shilang tonight.
Although the letter did not name and say who the military general was, its intention was to directly point to Helian Che's intentions, but it was also clear to people, but Helian Che and Li Yuanlin had always been in the same place, and they had not received the so-called secret order from Empress Liang.
The letter received was also unsigned.
This inevitably makes people suspect that the motives behind the person who sent the news are not pure, Helian Che is nominally a person who is important to the queen of Liang, although no one has come to Li Yuanlin to provoke it, it has long been known, just imagine who is most unwilling to see him in power and power? Once Helian Che is disposed of, who is the most proud?
The answer is undoubtedly obvious.
Helian noted that the old fox deliberately regarded Li Yuanlin as an incompetent, cowardly, and suspicious emperor, thinking that the ignorant old woman of Empress Liang would really be stupid enough to follow his advice to send Helian Che, and even more thought that Li Yuanlin, as a king, could not govern, and that he was bound to become bloodthirsty and wanton under the oppression of Empress Liang for a long time, and would definitely kill three thousand in order to vent his dissatisfaction with Empress Liang.
Helian is too arrogant and self-righteous, but the truth is like a mirror that exposes his excessive conceit into a ridiculous stupidity.
On the other hand, Liang Hou made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that Helian Zhu would really jump off the wall in a hurry, so he sent a message to Li Yuanlin to put her together.
It can be seen from the assassination of Liu Shilang that Liang Hou and Helian Zhu, who are detached and distrustful of each other, both despise each other.
However, it is precisely because of this that Li Yuanlin saw an opportunity: now that the Liang clan is infighting, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and the Liang clan seems to be only one foot away from falling apart, and Liang Hou wants to suppress the development of imperial power, and he is afraid of each other with the Taishi, and he has to maneuver around the court, and the three parties advance together, and then manage the Liang party's situation.
Li Yuanlin thought, maybe this is an opportunity, he can first cultivate the power of the Taishi, and use Helian Note to achieve the situation of sanctioning the Liang family, as long as he kicks the door, and when the Liang family's mother party collapses, it will be much easier for him to deal with a Taishi.
To achieve this, you must have a plan.
So, on this night, Li Yuanlin and Helian Che discussed the countermeasure of first acting a scene of "the Taishi sending an envoy to send a letter" to the Queen Mother's killer, so that the Queen Mother would know that she was betrayed by the Taishi, so as to achieve the goal of splitting the two forces.
It's just that no one thought that there would be an accident, Tang Luo would meet Ye Lingyi on the roof and take the initiative to give up the plan to assassinate Liu Shilang and kidnap her.
Ye Lingyi, who was hiding on the roof, didn't expect that the killer would give up the easier back window and choose to appear on the roof, let alone that Tang Luo, who had nothing and was fearless, was usually valued by Liang Hou, but now he has become her hole card and outcast.
As for why this is said.
After all, the assassination is risky, if it is successful, if Tang Luo's skills are not as good as others and he is counter-killed or fails to act because he was captured alive, in either case, Tang Luo will definitely become an outcast, and Liang Hou's high position can naturally be wiped out, no one dares to say anything, and Tang Luo, who is an outcast, must die.
Now it seems that Tang Luo is just a complete poor worm.
Therefore, Ye Lingyi sympathized with him, not because he was bent on dying like a coward, but because even if he was loyal to Empress Liang, he couldn't get rid of the fate of an abandoned son.
But now, if he wants to achieve the previous goal of Li Yuanlin and Helian Che, Tang Luo not only can't die, but also waits for him to find a way to go back to report to Empress Liang about the secret transmission of information from the Taishi to the emperor.
It's all because the accident came too suddenly, so that the two protagonists who thought of this method lost the opportunity to act, and now it seems that they can only rely on her.
A ray of observation floated through her beautiful eyes, Ye Lingyi thought for a moment, and then said: "I heard Mama Lin say that when she came down from Cangzhi Mountain, most of them were desperate and only went to Cangzhi Mountain, so the blue wolf warriors were fearless. But Tang Luo, you are so stupid! Do you think you're dead, or if you fish me out and fly away, you'll be gone? Don't forget, nominally you and I are still the Queen Mother's people, the whole world is not the king's land, how can the Queen Mother not find us? And even if you die, it is meaningless in the eyes of the Queen Mother! Don't be silly! The question you really need to think about is, who is the most heartbreaking person you have died? Do you want your dead parents to be at peace underground? Do you want the last person of the Tang family to be completely wiped out? Or do you want me to hide and live an inhuman life for the rest of my life, better than death? β
Her reprimands pierced into Tang Luo's heart like a needle.
His face turned pale in an instant, like snow lined by the moonlight, and suddenly he felt a blur in front of him, and his mind recalled the past, and familiar images passed by his eyes like flowing waterβthere was the Tang Mansion that had fallen overnight and turned into scorched earth, there was the deceased who was inhuman, and the painful appearance of his father who was burning under the fire......
The scenes were like sharp blades whipped his body and mind, and the feeling of touching Wunei was too intense, as if it was going to scatter his soul together.
Maybe it was because of the sadness that his heart was dead, he just sat there, his eyes empty and empty, and there was no trace of life.
Ye Lingyi knew that he was reminiscing about the past, and took the opportunity to say: "Of course, you can choose to give up your life for your own selfishness, but you have to think about your parents, think about whether they are willing to see you die?" Can't you live so that the dead can rest in peace? β
"For the sake of the deceased...... Alive......"
The eyes looked up at her, dazed.
Ye Lingyi smiled kindly at him and said, "You said that you thought that I was another you, and you said that you don't know what reason to continue living, but why don't you take advantage of the moment to be yourself and live well for the sake of your relatives?" β
Her voice stopped in the man's eyes that were gradually brightening.
He looked at her as if he were looking at the brightest sun, as if he were going to imprint her in his heart, so far-reaching.
Ye Lingyi was stared at awkwardly, and was thinking about saying something more to relieve the embarrassment, when he suddenly heard the loud sound of horses' hooves rumbling and galloping.
Looking far away through the moonlight, I heard a rough male voice shouting at the man at the front: "Lord Helian, don't run any further, if you run again, you will be out of Tokyo!" β
Under the moonlight, the leading man was dressed in a gorgeous suit and hunted and flew over.
Although Ye Lingyi couldn't see his expression clearly, he could feel that his wordless appearance was full of awe-inspiring murderous intent.
It was Helian Che and Chen Thirty who chased after them.
Ye Lingyi frowned, and pulled Tang Luo to hide behind the grave.
"The emperor's entourage also came, and they found out that you don't have any good fruit to eat, I'll go out later, you just hide here and don't make a sound, and you will leave after we leave!"
When she spoke, Tang Luo still looked stupid, looking at her as if she couldn't come back to her senses, just like Ye Lingyi deliberately teased Tang Luo when she first saw him.
Ye Lingyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and accentuated her tone: "What are you doing stupidly?" I'll talk to you, so you squeak too! Or what I just said was playing the piano to the cow? β
Really angry, Ye Lingyi got up to leave.
Tang Luo grabbed her hand in time.
Ye Lingyi looked back and met Tang Luo's serious eyes: "Thank you!" β
He only has two words, but the weight is heavy.
Ye Lingyi was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
The bright moonlight rolled into a thin veil to envelop the endless field, and the woman turned her head and glanced at the dozen or so large and small tombs around her with complicated eyes.
Immediately turned around, quickened his pace, and the slender figure trotted a few steps, caught up with the people and horses who were coming this way, waved his hand and shouted: "Helian Escort, Brother Thirty, I'm here!" β
The horse team was speeding closer, galloping under the starry sky.
There was not half a cloud above the sky, only a round moon echoing the bright galaxy.
The sound of rumbling hooves disappeared into the endless field, and the horses' hooves flew countless dust, and the mist rushed towards them.
Ye Lingyi was choked and coughed, so she had to wave the dust with her hands.
The horse that was being held on the reins suddenly stopped, and "woohoo" set off its front legs to neigh in the sky, but before he could put his front legs down, the man on horseback couldn't wait to jump down, break through the dust, and hold the woman in his arms with great precision.
Chen 30 and the others tightened the reins and sat on the back of the horse, looking at the two figures standing stupidly in the center of the dust hugging each other, they took a long breath and smiled.
