(Chapter 305)
"I still have something to do, so I'm ...... Leave first. Lowering my eyes slightly, I walked in the direction of leaving the palace.
Cai Yu didn't catch up, because he had never seen such hateful eyes, very deep, and painful, and full of bitterness in relief.
But for some reason, he felt that this was what a prime minister of Qinguo should really look like.
Maybe, maybe he really shouldn't......
That's it, that's it, there is a way in heaven, people have their own lives, and there is too little he can do.
Cai Yu stood in place for a while, and then he went to the East Palace alone.
Because of the injury, I couldn't ride a horse, so I could only hire a carriage to go to Wei Yinghou's mansion, simply because of the reason for clearing the road, there were not many people on the road, and the coachman was also a quick hand, and finally caught up with He Qiong, who led the troops in front.
"Well, you're here anyway." When He Qiong saw me in the car, he didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or cry, maybe a helpless sigh could best express his mood at the moment.
"This is my family business, how can I not come?" My gaze swept indifferently over his face and I lowered the curtain.
He Qiong shook her head: "I hope you won't regret it in the end." ”
After all, once a decision is made, there is really no turning back.
But life is a choice, and the pain must always be swallowed by oneself, and no one can redeem anyone.
The wheels roll forward, the cold wind shakes, and the cold snow falls.
I closed my eyes gently, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.
The capital, the Marquis of Wei Ying's mansion.
When I got out of the car, the snow in the sky became a little light, but He Qiong still held an umbrella for me.
"Do you want me to go in with you?"
I shook my head in silence.
He Qiong sighed, and could only stuff the umbrella in his hand to me.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." He Qiong smiled at me, and the snow slipped from the corners of his eyes, crystal like a dream.
After a pause, I looked up at him, and a shadow of a green shirt gradually appeared in my mind.
If he were here, he would have said the same thing to me, right?
My eyes were slightly moist, and I quickly turned my head away and whispered, "I'm in." ”
After speaking, I walked into the gate of Wei Yinghou's Mansion without stopping, escorted by two guards.
Wei Yinghou's Mansion is where I grew up, and every grass and tree here is very familiar to me, and at the same time, it is also very unfamiliar.
I should belong here, but the people who belong here can't have me.
I resigned myself to my fate, but fate refused to let me go.
In that case, why blame me for being ruthless!
As soon as I walked out of the cloister and was about to bypass the rockery in the garden, a man suddenly rushed out from behind the rockery, holding a big knife in his hand and slashing at me quickly, shouting "You brute, you white-eyed wolf!" ”
I didn't move, just looked at him coldly.
The two guards who were guarding me didn't blink, they didn't even ask who the other was, and when the knife fell, the man fell limply, in a pool of blood.
"Shen Qingzhi, you...... In vain for the Son of Man ......"
Looking at the old and distorted face on the ground, I suddenly wanted to laugh.
He is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, a dog loyal to his grandmother, he was the one who threw me into the snow forest ruthlessly, and he was the one who was ordered to kill Qi Niang, so many years have passed, he is living a nourishing life, I heard that his family has a lot of concubines, and he also miscarried the original wife, and the last corpse has two lives, and there is no heir until now.
It's funny.
"What kind of thing are you, dare to talk about me?" I walked past him, and the corners of his robe were slightly floating without even a drop of blood, and "dragged him down, dismantled him, and threw him into a mass grave to feed the dogs." ”
"Yes."
The slaves on both sides of the road who wanted to scold me with the steward were suddenly silent, they had never seen such a terrible me, nor had they seen such a bloody scene, in their impression, I had always been that innocent and harmless little boy who let them bully.
But now, I'm even more terrible than a man-eating Shura.
"Suppress them all, hand them over to the Criminal Department, and instruct the Criminal Department to write the book, just say that you don't have to worry about them being from my house, and the heavy conviction is enough, after all, the public is the public, the private is the private, and the crime of treason and fornication cannot be stopped." I hooked my lips coldly, and the words I spat out were colder and colder.
"Yes."
"Don't, the young master spares his life, the young master spares his life!"
"Young master, please let the villain go, the villain's child has just been full moon, he can't live without his father......"
"The slave doesn't want to die, the slave doesn't want to die...... "101 Chinese net
As soon as I finished speaking, the garden was filled with wails and cries, and some people wanted to pull the corners of my robe, but they were afraid that the guards would not dare to do anything casually, so they could only kneel on the ground and kowtow to me desperately.
Yet I turned a deaf ear to their plight.
The two guards immediately did as I was told, and I left the place with a blank face and went straight to the ancestral hall.
I know they're going to be there, and they're going to be there.
That's the best place to humiliate me.
"Stop, you're not qualified to step inside." The old ancestor, dressed in plain clothes, walked out of the ancestral hall and scolded me coldly.
I paused, retracting the thought I had just wanted to take two more steps forward.
"Grandmother." I bowed respectfully to her.
When the ancestor saw that I still had rules, his originally nervous mood suddenly calmed down a little.
She said, well, she is also my grandmother, no matter how I do, I will not do anything to her.
"I warned you a long time ago, you are not allowed to come near here unless there is anything special, and you take my words as wind in your ears, and you can blow it, right?" As soon as the old ancestor stomped on his crutches, the posture of the elder was revealed, which was boring and ridiculous to watch.
Squinting slightly, I coldly hooked my lips and laughed, "Grandmother, you are wrong to blame your grandson, today is the day of your return to heaven, although your grandson has broken away from Wei Yinghoufu, but after all, you are still your grandson's grandmother, why do you have to come to see you off for the last time." ”
Shocked, the old ancestor rebuked loudly, "What do you mean? Don't think that now that you have the support of the prince, you can ignore filial piety ethics and talk to me like this! ”
"Grandmother," I looked at her with pity, "you and your father colluded with Peilu, caused trouble with the dynasty, and even fornicated with the enemy country, and hid weapons, do you think that if you reprimand me a few more times now, you will be able to escape the punishment of the king's law?" ”
"You!" The old ancestor trembled with anger.
"The Prime Minister slandered the Hou Mansion like this, aren't you afraid of the gods who raise their heads three feet?" Lake blue robe, white jade hair crown, a little bit of cold broken light scattered, slightly white snow, a pair of boots slowly stepped out of the ancestral hall.
It's Shen Jingzhi.
He still holds the "lifeblood" of the Hou Mansion in his right hand, my second brother.
Shen Jingzhi's cuffs were a little dusty, and there were traces of incense ash on his fingertips, thinking that they were just offering incense to the ancestors and ancestors of Wei Yinghou's mansion.
"Father." I raised my hand in salute.
Shen Jingzhi's expression was cold, and he didn't bother to look at me at all.
Even when defeat is a certainty.
With a pain in my heart, I secretly clenched the fist hidden in my sleeve and endured this breath for life.
"Dying and struggling, there's no point at all, Father." I raised my eyes to look at him, and the coldness in my eyes was even worse, but my face was full of sneering expressions, "General Jiang Xiao has already led his troops to the fiefdom of Wei Yinghou's Mansion, and the remnants of the Blood Alliance that you raised for Lu Xuan and Pei Lu, as well as those soldiers of Qi State, will not be able to escape." ”
Jiang and Wei? Didn't he go to Jingzhou? Now Pei Ling should have dealt with him, could it be......
No wonder, early this morning, Bai Zhihe led troops to surround Wei Yinghou's mansion, originally he just thought that the prince wanted to control them and prevent them from acting rashly, but he didn't expect it to be the worst situation.
Taifu Pei was defeated, and their Wei Yinghou Mansion also reached the time of withering.
Darkening his eyes, Shen Jingzhi knew that the overall situation had been decided, and it was difficult to recover it.
"Why didn't my father speak?" I deliberately took a step closer in front of him, "Is it because I know that death is near, and I am timid?" ”
Shen Jingzhi suddenly let go of Shen Lin's hand, sneered and approached me, "Only people with fragile hearts can feel timid, you are talking to me like this, just because your heart is too fragile, do you think one or two sarcastic words can save something for you?" ”
The sore spot that had been carefully hidden made him throw three or two disdainful words into the sun, and I was annoyed, and I pulled out my saber and aimed it at his chest, "Why do you always do this to me?" I'm your child, too, and I'm your child! ”
Shen Jingzhi's eyes were cold, and I didn't reflect it in my anger, his blood had already dripped down the blade of the sword to the ground.
"Because I hate you, if you're a man, how can I break my oath with Su'er? I just want to protect her, love her, make her happy, and I will never lose up to old age! ”
"I also hate myself, power, fame, wealth and glory, I can't let go, every time I see your face, I think of how despicable and cowardly I am...... Shen Qingzhi, I am a father in vain, but you are also a son of man in vain, heh, we are the same after all. ”
He grabbed my sword in his hand and pulled it out so hard that blood gushed out of his wound and splashed on me.
"Jing'er!"
"Daddy!"
Shen Lin cried and pounced, but the old ancestor's body was weak, and even the crutches could not support her body, and she knelt on the ground in an instant.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help herself with grief.
I watched this scene with wide eyes, and suddenly I felt a pain in my chest, something was torn apart, but it didn't bleed.
“...... Daddy......"
"You've already calculated this day, haven't you?" The old ancestor suddenly laughed, she held the cane hard, stood up from the ground, and straightened her already rickety body, "It's really a success, and a defeat is also a disaster, when your mother knelt and begged me, I shouldn't have softened my heart for a while, and left you behind, it's really a scourge, a scourge!" ”
"Am I a scourge?" I also laughed along, and the hatred in my eyes grew deeper and deeper, and finally all exploded at this moment, "If you hadn't designed to kill Qi Niang for your so-called position of power, would I have become the 'scourge' I am now?" If it weren't for you colluding with Pei Lu and Lu Xuan to kill Yuhe, would I have become the 'scourge' I am now? Today, all this blood, you have taught me! ”
