Chapter 391: It's not just the King of Shu who loses
When the old man who was brought to discuss by the King of Shu overnight, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news, and sat down on the chair. But after all, this person was very quick, and after only a short silence, he immediately said: "Lord Wang, you can't stay any longer, you have to leave now, and you have to leave the city overnight." At the city gates, it's not our people on duty tonight. ”
"Take the Water Gate instead, and go out of the city through the West Water Gate. Even if the King of England can see the emperor immediately, the emperor's reaction may not be so timely. And the emperor has always been a little stubborn, and when he thinks that he has controlled the prince, even if he believes all the words of King Ying and Princess Jing, with the emperor as a person, what he really wants to do will wait until tomorrow morning. ”
"Therefore, the prince can rest assured for the time being, wait for a while, and the old man will order someone to arrange it. If we don't make arrangements in advance, we won't be able to get out of Xishuimen. In addition, the dozen or so fast horses placed in the hidden place in the west of the city will also be transferred to the vicinity of the West Water Gate to pick up, and now you need more stability. ”
also knew that if he couldn't get out of the city tonight, and when it dawned tomorrow, I was afraid that even if he faked his death and escaped, he might not be able to get out of the city. As for the original action to extinguish the mouth, it can only be temporarily abandoned. However, the King of Shu, who did not give up, left his henchman, who was also one of the leaders of the secret guards, before leaving.
In addition to ordering him to continue to hunt down Yi Ying and Lu Wentao, the rest of the thing is to take command in his place and continue the operation of extermination. Looking at the King of Shu, who was still a little unrelenting, the old man shook his head slightly, wanting to persuade him. But in the end, the words that had come to the lips were still not spoken.
He is too clear about himself as a student and a teacher. The reason why during this period of time, obeying his own words and plans, I am afraid that he has been forced to a dead end. If you interfere too much, I'm afraid that not only will it not work, but it will be easy for this disciple to do more extreme things.
He has been an official for many years, although he has always been known for his resourcefulness. But his hands have never been stained with blood, and he is also a fair and honest person. But right now, for the sake of his own student, his hands are covered with blood in disguise. Although those people were not killed by their own hands, their deaths were related to themselves after all.
Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to the direction of the palace, and sighed in his heart: "Back then, I pursued hard, but you abandoned me like abandoning my shoes, and I only had the former angry bag in my heart." For you, I gave up my dream of traveling the world, and entered the officialdom after the entrance examination, but you still never looked at me once. ”
"Do you know that I tried my best to transfer back to the capital from the foreign official. But I happened to see you being carried into the palace and becoming the queen of the dynasty, and my heart was broken at that time. That night, when I was only 30 years old, I bowed my head in vain. I didn't expect that you would give up the oath you had kept for so many years for the man who was once only submissive. ”
"I'd rather be willing to be your father's pawn and marry him who already has a family background. But what has he done to you all these years? You are so affectionate to him, and what does he do to you? The first thing you do when you take power is to abolish your throne. When you gave birth in the cold palace, how did he ever look at you, and how did he ever give you any care? ”
"In the past eighteen years, you have been in the cold palace and raised your young son alone, but he has been carried into the palace by concubine after concubine, how can he have any pity for you. That night, when you and I met again in the palace after five years of parting from Taiyuan Mansion, we listened to Xue Xuan meet again. I completely let go of my former arrogance, so begging you to leave the palace with me, but you still coldly refused. ”
"Could it be that your heart is cold and cold, and it really can't be warmed no matter how you cover it? I'd rather be in Tingxue Xuan, who is a cold palace, thinking about that negative person. But you have never looked at me squarely? Bing Xue'er, do you know, I also have self-esteem. Even that little bit of self-esteem once almost made me jealous of that person, and the jealous one used to go crazy. ”
"Seventeen years ago, in the Tingxue Xuan, I was facing the snow. I was so angry that I couldn't hide my jealousy. Offer that you teach your son, and I will choose another of his other sons to be his disciple. When your son turns eighteen, let them compete with each other. ”
"If you win, I will give up completely, and I will never pester you again. If you lose, you will leave the palace forever and never see him again. Among his sons, I painstakingly selected the most gifted Shu king. Over the years, I have painstakingly worked hard for him to connect internally and externally, and laid a strong foundation for the DPRK and China. ”
"Aside from not teaching him martial arts, I put almost all my heart and soul into him. So even though I am only in my fifties, I look like I am seventy years old. And although you have seen all this, you have never stopped me from saying a word. ”
"Did you know that you only had to say a word? I wouldn't be holding on to this one, I should have known that the bet was destined to have no ending. Even if I used to think that I had won this competition. Because I know that the Huaiyang County Mansion back then had already fallen and the monkey Sun was scattered, and it was impossible to provide you with any help. ”
"You don't live in the cold palace for eighteen years, and you don't want to step out of the palace even if you don't want to pave the way for the king. But now, I lost that bet completely. I originally thought that with my ability, I would definitely teach a generation of Ming Monarch Holy Lords. But he never imagined that in the end, he would work hard to teach a vicious wolf. ”
"Now I know, why did you know that I chose the King of Shu as your disciple. You, who have always been indifferent, will show that short-lived smile at the corner of your mouth. Now I understand that your smile is full of sarcasm. Perhaps when you promised me this bet, with your talent and intelligence, you would have expected this outcome. ”
"The reason why you promised me is only to make me die. That's why you've been looking at me indifferently and doing everything in vain. Even when you thought I was going to win, you were just a bystander. Because you know that all my efforts are destined to be empty joys. ”
"And now, in addition to being glad that I promised you back then, I didn't teach the martial arts of the King of Shu that I had done it, so that he couldn't do more killing. Others, but you don't even deserve to carry shoes. Even knowing that he has gone astray now, he can no longer find a way back. Because I know that it's not just the King of Shu who loses. ”
"Now do you know that at the moment, even in front of the disciple I once thought I was the most proud, not only did I not dare to admit the bet I made back then, but I even had to pretend that I didn't know you at all. If we say goodbye today, I am afraid that you and I will never see each other again. People on the rivers and lakes will no longer remember the magic pen scholar who was once as famous as you. ”
"In the future, I can only bless you in the Western Regions, and I only hope that person will live up to you for the rest of his life. I couldn't ask for anything else. I also hope that when you have your spare time, you can think of me once. Even if you know it, this can only be a luxury that will never be fulfilled. ”
"Because apart from that person, whether it was you back then or you now, there has never been anyone else in your eyes. He has never taken me to heart, even for a moment. It's just that I'm really unwilling, unwilling to be such a person, and get your heart without much effort. I've exhausted half my life, but you've been stingy with even a smile. ”
Maybe the unrequited love in the early years was really hard to extricate yourself. The old man who recalled the old past more than ten years ago, and remembered the woman in the palace who made him unforgettable for half his life, but still couldn't forget, couldn't help but fall into a trance.
After a brief explanation of the henchman, he looked at the old man who had fallen into a rare trance. I don't know the real reason why this god-like master in my heart accepted me as a disciple back then. I don't know that even my master, who has been in love with Concubine Jing who is called a slut by herself on weekdays, opens her mouth and closes her mouth for so many years.
And accepting himself as an apprentice is only after years of bitter love without results. In the case of being carried away by extreme jealousy, in order to die and struggle, he used half of his life to make a long and doomed bet on the king of Shu. I thought that the old man in front of him was distracted at this time in order to plan how he should move next, but he didn't bother the old man.
Fortunately, although the old man fell into a trance for a short time, he woke up in a short period of time. Looking at the King of Shu who was sitting in front of him silently, the old man sighed and didn't say anything.
Under the arrangement of the old man, the King of Shu was on this secret passage, in his temporary bedroom. staged a midnight drunken scene for the people who monitored him in the north and south towns in the courtyard. Just when all the people in the courtyard thought that the King of Shu was drunk and unconscious. Without even a single piece of clothing, he quietly left this magnificent courtyard from the secret passage.
Less than half an hour after he left, a fire broke out in his bedroom. After being drugged unconscious, the stand-in who remained there was buried in the fire, along with his bedroom. And the henchman he left behind, after doing all this, sneaked out of the secret passage.
When he was hiding this secret passage, and when a grain stack appeared at the exit on the other side, he was already dressed as a grain stack shopkeeper. After he walked out of the secret passage, a dozen or so people dressed as men who hid the grain store also quickly went down to the secret passage with bags of soil and sand disguised as grain.
By the time the sky brightened, the secret passage had been blocked on the side of the Shu King's Courtyard. As for the secret passage where Concubine Shen's mother and daughter had a private meeting with the King of Shu and entered and exited the courtyard of the King of Shu, as early as the day when the King of Shu made up his mind to leave, the exits on both sides had been blocked, as if they had never existed.
In Wende Palace, Huang Qiong, who returned to Beijing, and Lin Hanyan, who followed Huang Qiong into the palace, talked about the emperor for almost half the night. When he was about to go to the morning of the third day, he received a report from the Fusi of the North and South Towns. There was a fire in the bedroom of the King of Shu last night, and the drunken King of Shu failed to escape, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he was finally buried in the fire.
For the emperor who has learned all the truth at this moment, and his mood is extremely complicated. What really surprised him was not just the death of King Shu. But the timing of the death of the king of Shu is too much to say. King Ying just entered the capital with King Jing's family on the front foot, and he had an accident immediately afterward, which is really hard to believe, this is just a simple accident.
And as his own son, the emperor is still clear about the living habits of the king of Shu. On weekdays, the king of Shu has no habit of drinking. Why don't you drink alcohol on weekdays, but when the king of England entered Beijing, he drank in the middle of the night. In the end, because he was drunk, he accidentally knocked over the fire candle and burned himself alive? Did he deserve it, or was he trying to cover up something by doing so?
