Chapter 230: The Eve of Yuhuatai: A Desperate Gamble

In fact, the missing Prince Mocang in her mouth is Li Yu who met her in prison.

What if one day, she knew the truth?

Is it the old man who has become the destined enemy? Or do you want to set aside the lies and riddles, explore the truth of the troubled times, maneuver between right and wrong, good and evil, break through the absurd imprisonment of the intransgressible identity, and gladly accept the embarrassed and pitiful Zangfeng boy who has not experienced the world in the past, but now he is high above and beyond the reach of the dust, his good second brother, the prince of Mocang?

"Look, none of those wind people can escape!"

He didn't know, and he didn't dare to know.

If Prince Mocang is really dead as the folk rumors say, then all the past related to Li Yu will eventually become a memory for the rest of her life, and over time, she will eventually be forgotten.

This is the ending he is most looking forward to, and it is also the best ending.

Then, if the Tao is broken at this time, it will be a knife in her chest for no reason, and those memories that should be beautiful will become her nightmares one after another.

"The immortal master turned out to be Prince Lisang?" Bai Bait only felt very incredible, and she exclaimed: "Is he crazy?" Go deep into the tiger's den! Seek skin with the tiger! He didn't hesitate to use his own sister as bait......"

She covered her lips, her shocked eyes subconsciously poking around, not daring to say more......

She knew that if the news leaked accidentally at this time, she didn't have to wait for Yuhuatai, and within a stick of incense, this treacherous capital would definitely set off a bloody storm!

But what she didn't know was that at this time, she was also like the Prince Li Sang in her mouth, doing extremely crazy things.

Jiang Li was mired in the quagmire of choice, and he didn't notice what Bai Bait said, but Bai Bait was extremely afraid of this matter.

"That's not right...... It's less than two hours away! In this way, if Prince Mocang failed to appear within these two hours, wouldn't Prince Li Sang be in a catastrophe? ”

Jiang Li raised his head and suddenly asked her: "Then do you hope that Prince Mocang will appear, or will he not appear?" ”

was speechless for a moment by his question, and Bai Bait suddenly didn't know how to speak, she just stared at him incomprehensibly, and said in surprise.

"Why does the tone of your voice sound weird...... Also, why are you asking me such a question all of a sudden? I definitely don't want this Mocang prince to appear! It's good he's dead! If he stays, he will surely bring disaster to the world! ”

Seeing the look of jealousy and hatred on her face when she said this, his heart tightened.

He knew that those choices he didn't know how to make, those words he couldn't speak, were too cruel for her after all.

He looked deeply at her cold and clear eyes, and echoed her: "Yes! It's good that he's dead! ”

Bai Bait looked at the general departure in front of him, for some reason, her heart was inexplicably filled with an unsteady feeling, but she didn't seem to be able to escape the firmness emanating from his eyes, and nodded involuntarily with him.

Then, Jiang Li took out two scimitars from behind him.

They don't have a gorgeous appearance, they can't be more ordinary, but under this ordinary, they are extremely powerful, and no one seems to be able to escape their edge.

"When I was going to teach you how to use weapons, do you remember why you chose a scimitar?"

"Yes. When you asked me to make a choice, I didn't really think too much, and I just had a twist and turn in my mind. I thought, the scimitar might be my choice! Later, it gradually became clear that my father, my eldest brother Bai Sheng, second brother Yan, and big brother Du all died under the scimitar of the wind man and died in front of my eyes. I chose the scimitar more to let those wind people taste what it was like to die under their own weapons! ”

She said word by word, and her tone gradually changed from unsure to firm!

She may not even realize that when she says these words, it is as if she is a different person.

Perhaps, only the bystanders are clear!

He had to admit that there were many times, looking at the white bait in front of him, he seemed to see his past self.

But he always thought that it was just his delusion, an illusion that he inadvertently created when he compared his present self with his past self.

Until this moment, less than four hours before the Qingguo ceremony, he only felt that this feeling was very deep, and it was no longer as simple as an illusion.

He has always known that he is not the kind of person who is indecisive, and he never thinks about things that are not yet to come to add to his troubles.

But at this time, he had so much uncertainty in his heart.

"I remember you saying that the lethality of a scimitar is often unexpected. The Wind People are good at riding, and they usually place their scimitars on the side of the saddle, and the curved part of the blade is long and extended, while the part near the handle of the knife is straight, and much longer than the part of the ordinary scimitar near the handle, so as not to injure themselves by mistake. When the cavalry rushed into the enemy formation, it was easy to cut off the enemy along with the armor, which also saved the cavalry itself. White Bait continued.

He smiled faintly, "Looks like you remember it quite clearly." ”

"Of course! Not only do I remember the basics of scimitar, but I also remember every move and trick you taught me! Didn't you say early on that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles? She swore by it.

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction, and then put the knife in her hand, "Now I will officially hand it over to you, before you go into battle, how familiar you are." Sometimes, the weapon actually recognizes its owner. ”

"Recognize the master?" Hearing what Jiang Li said, Bai Bait suddenly thought: "Since I recognize the owner, then I have to give it a good name......

She gently pulled the scabbard open, and a shining light, cold as a crescent moon, cold as autumn frost, burst out with a devouring power......

"Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Her eyes burned, and she took a closer look at the blade and realized, "Why is there something missing from this blade?" ”

"Huh?" He pretended to be incredulous, and said with a smile: "Maybe...... Maybe I accidentally knocked it when I was forging the knife! ”

He secretly probed her expression, and instantly felt a little weak.

In fact, one day he was playing with her knife and accidentally knocked it to the ground.

He thought it was just a little flaw, and she wouldn't find it, who knows......

"......" She turned her unwilling gaze and stared at the knife in his hand: "You have never used a knife or a sword, why do you have it?" You're not used to it anyway, so it's better to ......."

"Eh-" Seeing that she had a bad thought, Jiang Li jerked up and fled. "This is not possible, when it is forged, it belongs to you, and it can be melted into your will, your faith."

"Stingy......" Bai Bait snorted coldly, and also stood up, a little sullen.

Raising his eyebrows, he slowly approached her, "I have a good idea." As the saying goes, a really smart person is a powerful thing, in that he does not reveal himself, on the surface, it seems to be clumsy, but in fact it has hidden power, and it can also confuse the enemy to a certain extent. Why don't you call this knife 'hiding clumsy'! This one of mine is called 'Zangfeng'! ”

"Hidden." She tasted it carefully, only to feel that it had a unique charm, turned around, and said happily: "Okay!" That's it! Hidden! ”

"White bait, you close your eyes." will leave the road suddenly.

Seeing his grotesque expression, Bai Bait asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" What do you do with your eyes closed? ”

He insisted, she had to cooperate, curiosity, and her eyes couldn't help but be half-open......

I saw him raise his head, look at the sky, and blow out a mysterious sound by the action of his ten fingers and lips and teeth, and after a while, several little white birds flew from the sky, intertwined in the snow curtain, and were extremely smart. Love Me eBook

"Wow! It's amazing! ”

Her wide eyes seemed to be lit up by something, and she couldn't help but admire.

Jiang Li looked at her, shook his head helplessly, and the disdain in his eyes turned into a faint smile.

"How's that, it's good-looking!"

"Fabulous! What are these little things? How have I never seen ......"

When the little things flew slowly, she couldn't help but stretch out a hand to try to touch them, and unexpectedly, one of them stopped at her fingertips, flapping its wings, very beautiful.

"It is a special bird cultivated by the Divine General, called as a hermit, and is responsible for transmitting news between employers and killers. Later, as the years wore on, they evolved and became more powerful, and they were no longer limited to the exchange of news between employers and killers. Now, I'm giving them to you, which can be regarded as making up for the little regret of 'hiding it'! "Will depart.

"Send me?" Hearing this, Bai Bait couldn't help but be overjoyed, only to feel that tonight is really a bumper harvest!

"Yes, for you, for free." Leaving smiled back, and then began to teach her how to summon them.

Snowflakes fell silently in the eyes of the two of them.

"You say, if tomorrow ...... What do we do when we die? She held the slightly cool wine and asked the general behind her.

"I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same monthβ€”" He raised the jar and shouted to the sky, very heartily.

The familiar words rang in her ears again, but they brought back many memories for her.

However, she knew that the days of hard work with memories would soon come to an end, and soon, she would no longer have to live in memories.

She wants to run into the future with them and fulfill the wish she made with them in prison.

She also looks forward to the fact that the words he and she have said under the red silk and the road they have traveled will one day be restored.

"Every time I want to do a mission, my ninth brother tells me that if you die on the way, you will die, there is nothing to regret, you should treat everything in the past as a dream you had, and if you die, you will live! When you wake up, you're back in the real world. He recalled, his eyes slightly drunk.

Hearing this, Bai Bait couldn't help but laugh.

"He's treating you like a child, coaxing you! I don't want to take the past as a dream! When you wake up from a dream, it means that there is nothing left......"

With that, he lifted the jar and shook it back.

"Come on! I wish us a triumphant tomorrow! ”

"Good! Triumph! ”

The wines collided and made a crisp sound.

East Palace, Infernal Hell.

When Shi Jian woke up, he became more and more convinced that the southwest corner of the palace topographical structure map must be the dungeon that had been abandoned for a hundred years!

The Donggong guards stepped on the iron shoes, and the royal wolf guards dug three feet into the ground, almost turning Qin Huai upside down, but they failed to find the whereabouts of the prince.

Right now, this dungeon is left without any footprints to explore.

He jumped from the bed to the ground, then rushed to the edge of the bar, shouting, "Someone! Come on! ”

For a long time, no one responded to him, but in a blink of an eye, he found that on the opposite side of the dungeon, under a curtain of ghosting, there seemed to be a person standing on his back.

"Can you hear the people on the other side? Tell me, what time is it! Tell me! What time is it! He shouted at the top of his voice.

"There is still half an hour, and it is the hour."

The man said suddenly, turned sideways, and slowly stepped out of the shadow, and the silhouette gradually appeared.

"You are?" The man was dressed in casual clothes, with his hair like a waterfall, tied by a wooden hairpin, and he shook his head and was already in front of the stone foot.

"Master Taifu!" He immediately knelt down and blamed himself: "Shi Jian has eyes and no beads, please forgive Master Taifu!" ”

"Forgiveness? Do your sins deserve to be forgiven? Li Zhi asked indifferently.

Shi Jian heard the meaning, and quickly replied: "Hey, hey, Shi Jian doesn't know what crime he has committed!" Please also make it clear to Master Taifu! ”

"It's come to this point, do you want to keep pretending?" Li Zhi asked.

"Hey, hey, Shi Jian is loyal to the prince, and there is absolutely no falsehood at all! I have never done anything unfavorable to the prince and the East Palace, and I ask Lord Taifu to know it! Shi Jian explained excitedly, and added: "If Lord Taifu still holds a grudge against Shi Jian because of the disappearance of the prince, Lord Taifu will punish Shi Jian, Shi Jian will never complain, but I implore Master Taifu to giveβ€”β€”"

"Faithfully following the Prince?" Li Zhi couldn't help but sneer and said bluntly: "I'm afraid your loyalty is as fake as your stutter!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Jiao's heart trembled, and he was terrified: "Master Taifu, the stuttering is indeed disguised by Shi Jiao, but it is definitely not intentional because of entering the East Palace." Shi Jian has been helpless since he was a child, but fortunately he was taken in by his mentor and worked in the palace with his mentor, and it was the mentor who made Shi Jian pretend to stutter since he was a child. ”

Li Zhi was skeptical, and asked tentatively: "Even so, what explanation should you make for stealing the tricks and vainly trying to betray the East Palace and rebel!" ”

Theft tips?

Shi Jian raised his head, looked at Taifu in confusion, and hesitated: "Theft tips? Shi Jian never knew what the trick was, and he didn't know why this trick was related to the big plan of the East Palace? ”

Shi Jiao's reaction made Li Zhi a little surprised, and the doubts in his heart couldn't help but tilt to the other end.

But he was still not at ease: "Until now, don't you admit it?" ”

Now, he finally understands the reason for the whole thing. Shi Jian immediately said: "Master Taifu! Shi Jian is an enemy, and Shi Jian knows that his identity is very different from that of the East Palace. An enemy turned to his enemy at the juncture of national crisis, surrendered to the enemy's knees, in the eyes of the same people, Shi Jian is a traitor who collaborates with the enemy, in the eyes of foreign people, Shi Jian is destined to be unable to raise his head for the rest of his life, everyone will laugh at Shi Jian's behavior, even if Shi Jian desperately proves his loyalty, it will be considered a fine work sent by the enemy, an avenger! But in the huge East Palace, there is only one person who will not doubt and will not laugh at Shi Jiao! ”

"This person is the prince! Shi Jiao's life was saved by the prince, and Shi Jian should have repaid his kindness, but Shi Jian also couldn't bear the shame of destroying the country! However, from the first time I got close to the crown prince, I was sure that the prince was different from the Mocang monarch, he was a person who really thought about the people, and he was the real Ming monarch! From then on, I decided that I would follow the prince, even if I was pointed at by thousands of people and subjected to all kinds of suspicions! It is precisely because I believe in the prince that the prince believes in me. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed at himself: "Even if Shi Jian said so much, it may be difficult for Lord Taifu to trust him." But no matter whether Master Taifu believes in Shi Jian or not, Shi Jian is already in prison and no longer poses a threat to the East Palace. But has Lord Taifu ever thought that if the person who stole the bag was not Shi Jiao, and someone else leaked the secrets of the East Palace, then what would happen to the East Palace tomorrow? The risks involved, Master Taifu must be more aware than I am. ”

Outside the iron fence, Li Zhi, his eyebrows tightened, stood still for a long time, and did not speak.

But for Shi Jiao, every moment that passes now is a great disadvantage to the East Palace and the crown prince.

"Master Taifu! Stone Foot dares to make a bet with you! He raised his eyebrows and petitioned.

"What do you want to bet on with the old man?" Li Zhi asked.

"Use the life of the stone stumbling to bet on the prince!"

Shi Jian replied categorically.

"Give Shi Jian four hours of freedom! Accompanied by a column of East Palace guards, the wind messengers of the whole city will be monitored, and within four hours, Shi Jian will find the prince! And let the prince appear on the Yuhuatai as scheduled! If there is no result after four hours, the East Palace Guard will kill him with one arrow! ”
