Chapter Fifty-Nine: Remembering Parting
"Let go of Umichi Shin and everyone present!"
"What about the second one?"
Lu Lingzi's expression was calm, and he said, "Give me the bones of Zuoqiu Shoubai!" ”
Tonight's operation in Siyuan Heavenly Palace, saving Yudao is really one thing, killing Xu You is the other, but what Lu Lingzi really wants is actually her brother's bones.
Although Zuoqiu Shoubai committed suicide, he had no attachment to this world for a long time, killed An Zidao and An Xiuyuan, and asked for benevolence, and there was no regret. But in the eyes of others, in the final analysis, he died in the hands of Xu You, so Lu Lingzi's desperate revenge tonight was also expected.
Xu You smiled: "Just these two conditions? I thought you were going to ask for my head......"
"The general's head is what I want most for the rest of my life. It's just a pity, I want it, is the general willing to give it? Lu Lingzi's eyes narrowed slightly, gently wiped the blood from his lips, and didn't seem to care about the fact that he had changed from a hunter to a prey, and sat up straight again, but his sick posture made people feel even more pitiful. This is different from the real charm of the fish way, this is innate, the rhyme is outside the rhyme, the fragrance is fragrant, and no one can match it.
"Naturally, my head would not be given to God so easily. However, God was able to endure in the palace for seventeen years, conspired with the tiger, calmly laid out, and finally made a mess of An's world. But why did the design to kill me this time seem so hasty? You must know that even if we were poisoned by spring wine, Brother Sha did not defect and took my life, and I am afraid that we will not be able to leave Jinling alive......"
The corners of Lu Lingzi's lips overflowed with a faint sneer, and said: "General Xu, you are young, but you are in a high position, there are emperors and queens to rely on, and Yangzhou gate valves are wings outside. But I'm different," she poured herself a glass of Lansheng wine with difficulty, and her injured and shaky jade hand was able to hold the wine glass with all her strength, and slowly put it to her lips, the wine flowed out, wetting her front a little bit, "In the inner mansion of Taicheng, people's hearts are still better than ghosts, I have been breathing for so many years, as a woman, I have encountered unbearable fears that General Xu has never thought of, so my life is not worth much." If I can kill the general and comfort my brother's spirit in the sky, what is it if I die? ”
At this time, Zhang Lun hurriedly walked over and whispered to Zhan Wenjun: "Mansion Master, the outside has been thoroughly investigated, and there are no people for six days. The general of the former army has blocked the river in and out of Jinling, and Taicheng has strengthened its defenses at the same time, and the general of the chariot cavalry is leading his troops to arrive, and it is expected to arrive in half an hour. ”
Zhan Wenjun didn't say anything, turned his head to look at Xu You, Xu You pondered for a moment, and said: "Go and tell Tan Xiaozu that the danger in Changganli has been eliminated, and there is no need to come here, and divide troops to garrison the main roads in the city, focusing on Tingwei Prison, in case some people collude with the remnants of the six days and take risks." ”
"No!"
Waiting for Zhang Lun to leave, Lu Lingzi reluctantly smiled: "It is said that the dark night is a rare wise man in the world, and now it seems that it is nothing more than that." I'm coming alone tonight, with no reinforcements and no other intentions, so the general doesn't have to be nervous now. ”
Xu You smiled, without explanation, he deliberately dragged the matter to Tingwei Prison, in order not to deal with Lu Lingzi and Liutian, he got up with his sleeves and said: "Since God has made an offer, if I don't allow it, it will be unkind, but I can only allow half of it, Yudao really can't let go, you and your three subordinates can leave, and Brother Ling's coffin can also be given to you......"
Lu Lingzi shook his head, his expression was calm and terrifying, and said, "It seems that the general doesn't want those two children to live......
"Don't ......" Mo Yelai wailed, and was about to kneel and beg Xu You, but was stopped by Sha Sanqing, although his eyes were sad, but he didn't want to do things against his conscience anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Leave it to Xu Langjun to deal with, we are unrighteous first, and death is unforgivable, don't let Langjun be embarrassed again." If Mo Er really can't be saved, it's his life, no wonder. ”
Mo Yelai burst into tears, covering his mouth to prevent himself from crying. A strong woman who once walked the rivers and lakes with a long sword in Tsing Yi and never cared about life and death, since she became a mother, she also has an unavoidable weakness.
For the sake of the child, her scales and armor were stripped naked, although it hurts, but she is happy!
Xu You was not affected by Mo Yelai, and sneered: "God, don't forget, if the children's lives can't be saved, you have to bury them with them." I know you're not afraid of death, but just like that, watching me live so alive in the world, are you willing to die? It's better to take a step back, first take Brother Ling's body back to Jiangzhou, and bury it on the bank of Gexi in Panyang County, so that he can be buried in the ground, and he will not be tortured by the troubles of the world, and then it will be too late to kill me! ”
Lu Lingzi raised his head in astonishment and said, "You...... How do you know Gexi? "The bodies of her parents were stolen from Sili Mansion by an old friend of her father at the time, and they were quietly buried on the bank of Gexi in Panyang County.
"Brother Ling talked to me before taking the poison, believe it or not, I didn't want to kill him, it's just that he himself has no will to live, and death may be a relief for him."
Xu You actually admires Zuoqiu Shoubai very much, and also for revenge, he took a completely different path, more cruel, more difficult, and more ethereal than Xu You, but he walked on without hesitation, until he was done, and he committed suicide without greed, and died calmly and calmly.
Xu You will never forget the picturesque and taciturn young scholar Qimo in the Yuan Mansion of Jinling, nor will he forget the lonely man who was lying in his arms, looking at the starlight outside the window, and saying, "Brother Xu, you see, the scenery in this world is too beautiful, but if there is really a next life, I don't want to come".
"He begged me to transport the bones back to Jiangzhou and bury them next to my parents' graves, I couldn't fulfill my filial piety during my lifetime, and if I could always be by my side after death, it would be a blessing......" Xu You's voice was full of regret, and it could be heard that it was indeed as he said, and he had no killing intent towards Zuoqiu Shoubai, and even had some sympathy. Lu Lingzi's tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes, and the crystal clear tears were clearer than the dewdrops in early summer, but at the distance that slipped to the ground, the moonlight reflected the countless blood and suffering in the world.
Fallen leaves fill the court steps, and the autumn wind blows again.
Remembering to leave people, how lonely is this.
After a long silence, Lu Lingzi stood up with both hands on the case, and said, "Yu Daozhen, the general won't let it go anyway, right?" ”
"Yes!" Xu You was categorical, and his body exuded a terrifying coercion, almost forcing Lu Lingzi to breathe, and said: "I slaughtered the Shen family, and there are not a few women and children, if you think that you can force me to obey by taking two children, it is too stupid." Lord Lu, you are a wise man, if you promise me and save your life, you will have a chance of revenge in the future; If you don't agree, next year and today, it will be your death taboo! Think about it, is Yudao's real life, is it really worth the price you pay? ”
"Well, as the general said, I'll leave it at that for tonight! The general's head, I will come to take it again in the future, I hope you will cherish it more, and don't be taken advantage of by others before me! ”
Lu Lingzi directly said the location of the child, did not twist, and did not talk about the conditions. This decisiveness made Xu You impressed, and he said in surprise: "God is not afraid that after I save the child, I will be embarrassed by you again?" He originally thought that Lu Lingzi would let him go first, and then leave a subordinate to tell the child's whereabouts, but he didn't expect it to be so direct and refreshing.
Lu Lingzi said: "If it is a bad person like me, of course I am afraid that the other party will backtrack, but a person like General Xu, although he is cunning and terrifying, is not a despicable villain, at least in the eyes of those enemies who hate you to the bone, General Xu is true to his word, and there is no precedent for reneceitling the promises he really made!" ”
So how important it is to have a good reputation for doing business, Xu You smiled dumbly, turned to Sha Sanqing and said, "Brother Sha, why don't you go and save people?" ”
Sha Sanqing's tiger eyes were red, and he didn't have time to say thank you, so he and Mo Yelai hurried away. Lu Lingzi straightened her dress, bowed her hand to Xu You, and said, "General Xu, don't leave it at that, the coffin of Shoubai asks you to send someone to the pavilion on the shore of Sanshanpu, and someone will take over." ”
Qingming lifted the ban on the three people, and they followed behind Lu Lingzi in embarrassment. Walking to the courtyard wall, leaning on it, Lu Lingzi looked back, smiled, and said in the moonlight: "Does the general know that when you fell into Qiantang and fell into the hands of Du Mingyu, who asked him to take good care of you?" ”
Xu You stood on his own indifferently and said, "If it weren't for the kindness back then, and Ning Zhenren's face, how could he let you go so easily?" But from tonight onwards, the kindness of you and me will be gone, and God will do it for himself! ”
"The general is wrong, the reason why I mediated is that Ning Zhenren interceded for you. But the main reason is to thank Yuan Gong for taking great risks to transport the bodies of my parents from Huangsha Prison and bury them on the banks of Gexi...... This is a great kindness that I can't repay, so I only saved your life at that time, so that my stupid sister who has only been moved by you alone in her life will not be grief-stricken......" Lu Lingzi's shadow disappeared outside the wall, and a soft and beautiful voice came, saying: "Say hello to A-Yuan for me, just say that the sister who is the best at painting butterflies and dancing can't stand her." The person she likes is destined to die in my hands in this life, may she not be blamed! ”
Xu You suddenly realized, no wonder he heard Yuan Jie's mention of Lu Lingzi for the first time in the Yuan Mansion of Jinling, his attitude was both regretful and lamenting, at that time he thought that this old man had something unseemly about his affairs, but he didn't expect that he had such a deep relationship with the Lu family that had declined due to the witch Gu case. In this way, it is no accident that Yuan Qingqi took in Zuoqiu Shoubai, he knows his life experience very well, but he is just hiding it from Yuan Jie.
Also, An Zidao was seriously ill before, Taicheng blocked Jinling and outside, and even the prince had no exact news, but Yuan Qingqi, who was far away in Linwu Mountain, clearly told Xu You that An Zidao was already in danger, and it was her words that directly prompted Xu You to put down everything and enter Beijing to participate in the thrilling coup.
At that time, Xu You was still amazed by the strength of the intelligence network in Yuan Qingqi's hands, and tonight he realized that it must be Lu Lingzi who informed her!
The world is an invisible spider web, different people through different silk threads to form their own life in front of them, as everyone knows, his front and back, left and right, the end point of each silk thread, will at a certain moment influence, change and dominate the outcome of life.
Xu You lifted the Lansheng wine and bent down to sprinkle it on the ground.
Respect for kindness, respect for hatred, respect for the known past, respect for the unknowable future!
