Chapter 23: Contradictions

Rukawa Kaede, who is still recuperating in the Ocean Mansion, is very comfortable these days, he doesn't care too much about other things, accompanied by beautiful women, chic and happy, the only flaw is that he still can't get out of bed, and his internal organs still hurt sometimes.

On this day, the sun was shining and the wind was beautiful.

In the quiet courtyard of Ocean Mansion, under a large tree, there are two bamboo beds, and one person lies on each bed, and they are resting in the shade of the tree.

Chewing a grass root in his mouth, Rukawa Kaede looked at the blue sky through the gap in the leaves, thoughtful.

Eve Lechuan suddenly laughed out loud for some reason, a faint flush bloomed on her cheeks, she turned sideways, looked at the person she was thinking about just now, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"What's the matter, what's so funny?"

The two asked in unison.

"You speak first." Again, the two spoke at the same time.

Embarrassment, the girl was so angry that she hammered him twice on the chest with her small fist, and the boy pretended to be in pain and took the opportunity to eat two catties of fresh tofu.

After arguing for a while, the two returned to their serious colors, and Rukawa Kaede said, "I suddenly remembered a story that the teacher told me. ”

"What story? Tell me about it? ”

She was obsessed with listening to the stories he told, sometimes the kind of little stories with a little color, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a sewing into them, but she still loved to listen to them, and the stories he told were always so wonderful and so full of attraction that she couldn't help herself.

"Once upon a time, there was a king, he was young, talented, swordsmanship, and a face as good as I ......"

The young man said proudly, but before he could speak, he was interrupted, and Eve blushed and said, "Where are you handsome?" The five big and three are the same as the reckless people, stinky and shameless, and I can see you. ”

"Hehe," he took the girl in his arms, smelling the scent of orchids on her body, and the intoxicated Rukawa Kaede continued to tell the story.

"Although that king was very good, but at that time his empire was also in crisis, surrounded by powerful countries, wars were endless, he led his soldiers across the battlefield, and gave the empire a piece of light! Later, he met a man, someone who changed his fate. ”

"Who is it?"

"That's a woman, a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city. On a trip to Jiangnan, they met by chance, talented and beautiful, they naturally came together, and at first they were like glue, they fell in love with each other, and it became a good story at that time, but it was a pity that ......"

"Pity? What happened to them? The girl interrupted.

"Later, because he was obsessed with beauty, he was obsessed with that beauty all day long, and he had no intention of ruling the government, so his country was weakening day by day, and the court was corrupt, and the surrounding neighboring countries also grew stronger and stronger again, and declared war on their empire, this time, he did not lead the imperial soldiers to defeat them, he had been hollowed out by the wine, and his spiritual will was corroded by the wine and the concubine, so he died, and his country also perished, but he still left a sentence when he died."

"What?"

"The country is as picturesque, and the society is as heavy as a bell, but for the sake of the beauty, both can be thrown! I have no regrets in this life, I don't love the country and the beauty. ”

"It's a sad story."

"The teacher told me, Gentle Township, Hero Mound."

"So, are you going to leave me?" The girl heard the other party's words and asked sadly.

"No, I always want you to be by my side, and I want to go with you to the white head!" Rukawa Kaede looked at the girl very firmly, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the other party's eyes, but he continued, "But I won't learn from the king who doesn't love the country and loves the beauty, I want both the country and the beauty!" ”

"You're so greedy." The girl complained dissatisfied.

Finally, I will send you a poem, which is also the king's masterpiece.

"Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, wake up and take charge of the world. Jin Ge Iron Horse, the country is picturesque, how can she be cared for? The snow moon is flying, the desert is yellow sand, and it is not as scorching as her. I don't like to fight and kill in my life, but I want to wander the world with you, take the four seas as my home, and go green to white hair. ”

"What an amorous king, and such an outstanding talent, such a person, what girl can not love?" The girl muttered.

"Is it good to praise other men in front of me? I see that you have the potential of red apricots out of the wall, I don't see that I can treat you well. ”

Rukawa Kaede scolded with a smile, and the two began to fight again.

"My lord, something is wrong."

At this moment, a brocade guard trotted over in a panic and interrupted their frolic.

"What?" Rukawa Kaede returns to its normal color.

"Lord Lai was captured by the queen and locked up in a dungeon."

"What's going on?" Rukawa Kaede almost sat up and asked loudly.

"That's a scam! There are no children, it is a skinned tanuki, and Grandpa Gui is secretly the queen's person, and we are all played! ”

"What?!" Rukawa Kaede was furious.

"No, no, my grandmother wouldn't do such a bad thing, she's a good person."

Lechuan Eve looked unconvinced, the kind and kind elders in her heart would never do such a thing, so she defended her.

"How's Leef? Was he injured? What does the queen have to say? ”

Ignoring the beauty around him, he calmly asked this subordinate who came to report the situation.

"Lord Lai didn't suffer any crimes, it seems that the queen has other intentions, she seems to have said, it's all a family, don't fight and kill, I want you to have time to go over and pick up Lord Lai Fu in person."

"It seems that he is using him to force me to compromise and stop me from taking care of her business."

After being silent for a while, Rukawa Kaede sent him away, Lechuan Eve said goodbye, she wanted to go back and ask to understand, to see what was going on, he didn't keep it, he wanted her to know that this world is not so simple, how can there be any pure "good guys, bad guys"? He knew that there seemed to be only two kinds of people in her world.

Watching his beloved girl drift away, his heart was like a knife, and the pain was not the temporary separation, but that her closest grandmother was a wolf in sheep's clothing, or my enemy! She was caught in the middle, torn between a rock and a hard place.

However, to his pain, his body still could not support him to get off the ground, and he slapped the bed board helplessly, secretly lamenting that he was incompetent.

Because of the differences in their respective outlooks on life and worldview, the contradiction between the two appeared for the first time. The antagonism of the people closest to her put her in a dilemma, and she decided to go back first, ask for clarity, and calm down.

——

Late at night, mass graves.

Murong Feng, dressed in black, seemed to be integrated with the night, kneeling in front of a tombstone with a sad expression, and the words "Princess Yaoyao" were faintly engraved on the tombstone.

No one bothered him, and after a long time, he ordered the newly buried loess mound to be dug up and the mahogany coffin opened.

Looking at that familiar figure lying quietly in front of her, she was still so beautiful, so clean and immaculate, even if she closed her eyes, you could imagine how pure her eyes were!

Once her voice and smile appeared in his mind, but now she can only live in his memories.

"Young Master Long, mourning, since Princess Yaoyao has gone to the immortal, it is better to let her rest in peace."

The cold Hu Lai stood behind, seeing that his son-in-law was immersed in endless grief, he couldn't extricate himself for a long time, and couldn't help but speak out, after all, this corpse has begun to stink, and they can't stand the pungent smell, not to mention him who is crying in the coffin?

"Move her to the Xishan Tomb Group and choose a high-grade blessed land," Murong Feng slowly re-covered the coffin, and then said to the person in the coffin, "After I succeed in avenging you, I will definitely place the heads of those enemies in front of your grave one by one, and I will use thousands of living beings in the Great Lie Empire to pay tribute to you!" I'm going to destroy this filthy empire! ”

The night wind blew the dead grass and leaves of the mass grave, and also blew the young man's hair, as if his oath had shocked the unjust spirits here.

After reburying the coffin in Xishan, Murong Feng led his men away.

"There are two months left to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Dalie, and at that time, all the children of the royal family will go to pay their respects, and at that time, it is the time for us to show our talents." Murong Feng said.

"Two months? It's a bit long. Hu Lai said ruthlessly.

"So, I decided to do something at this time, as long as we don't reveal our identities."

"What is Childe's arrangement?"

"First stir up the water in their Kyoto, send people around to assassinate some incorruptible ministers and nobles, if you can assassinate the achievements, you will stop if you don't have a chance, my purpose is to intimidate, create uneasy factors for them, and let them live in fear all the time!"

"Okay, that's easy."

"Also, send more people to spread rumors in places where there are many of them, and the content is ......"

After a detailed explanation, Hu Lai walked into the darkness, while Murong Feng was practicing swords, and he was in a bad mood by practicing swords to vent his emotions.
