Chapter 32: Gawain's Compromise and Redemption

Previous Chapter

The night passed, the sun shone through the narrow window on Gawain's pale face, the guards had come several times, they brought water and food, but they were all blown away by him, he licked his lips that had been dry, his eyes were already blurred due to the long-term lack of water, faintly he saw a white light, he knew that he was going to die at this time, he also knew that the end of the white light was the beginning of another world. I just don't know what the other world awaits my own vile traitor.

Then a low voice with unquestioning majesty remembered in his ear, "You can't die, Gawain, now your death is meaningless, you will die as a traitor, your descendants will be ashamed of you, your death has no honor at all, you need to redeem yourself." ”

Gawain yelled angrily, "How can we redeem it? What is the point of living in this world? The people of the Liao country look down on me, my family Bohai Jurchens despise me, I have lost everything, do you even want to deprive you of the right to die? Don't you even give me the dignity of my final death? ”

The deep and majestic voice said, "Don't you know what you have done? Your only way to survive is salvation. ”

Gawain bowed his head silently and whispered, "What should I do?" ”

The low, majestic voice said, "Survive, wait for your chance to redeem, and remember that one day your chance will come." When that day comes, you can save everything, you can become a hero, and then your life will be full of glory. ”

"Patience is the only thing you can do right now."

Gao Wen nodded, and a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart, and he still had the opportunity to pursue his glory and make those arrogant Liao people pay the price.

The scene in front of him slowly disappeared, and the gloomy and bloody prison appeared in front of his eyes again, the cold and damp breath eroded his body, and he no longer felt the pain of the limbs caused by being hanged, so he waited slowly, waited.

It didn't take long for the sound of clicking in my ears, the iron door of the prison slowly opened, and Yeluqian, who was dressed in a light red gorgeous silk robe, walked in slowly.

Gawain exhaled in his ear and said: "This is your last chance, you can be a hero, but you can never wash away your identity as a traitor, some choices are difficult to recover, you only have one way to go now, don't be stupid, my good husband, we can continue to live, I am still your wife, you are still my husband, you are still loyal to me, loyal to Liao, everything is still the same as before, how good." ”

Gawain looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it seems that I am destined to be stinking for 10,000 years." ”

Yeluqian smiled, and said charmingly to the guards behind: "Let General Gao go, so that you can entertain you." ”

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and in the past three years, Yelugan is still Gao Wen's wife, and Gao Wen is still Yeluqian's husband, everything is still the same as usual, except that there is no one named Guan Hu in Gao Wen's guards, nothing has changed.

But Yeluqian has never treated Gao Wen as a person, he is called to come, call away, they have no love, no more, Gao Wen when he saw Yeluqian's attitude towards Guan Hu, his heart was already cold, he knew that if he died, Yeluqian would never miss himself, and he was not even sad when her baby Persian cat died. He just hoped that when he died, she would pretend to be and cry, which would be very rare, after all, he still had value for her.

Gao Wen and Ye Lu Qian really achieved a "respectful and guest" husband and wife life, every time he talked to a scheming woman like Ye Lu Qian, Gao Wen felt very nervous, he pretended to be afraid of death, greed, cowardice, for fear that Ye Lu Qian would see through his heart, his hatred and his great cause of redemption.

He really doesn't know how he has endured it all these years, whenever he walks on the street, fear and contempt will appear in the eyes of those ragged Bohai Jurchen slaves, so when he leaves, the street is always so deserted, which makes him very painful, on the one hand, several Liao generals in Liaodong are dictating to him, and the call is coming, often the order is just for him to sign, and he is not asked for his opinion at all, if he asks too much, then he will usher in an angry scolding, Only then did he know that he, the general of Liaodong, was just a puppet.

A bitter smile appeared on Gawain's face, and that smile was a little crazy,

Gawain finally had a sense of relief, he closed his eyes, and said calmly: "Do you know, for so many years, I have been waiting, waiting for a chance for redemption, I secretly raised an army, I have said everything that should be said, if you believe me, you will go back and tell your father, we will cooperate and work together for a great cause, if you don't believe me, then I have nothing to say, anyway, I have been holding back these words in my heart for a long time, and today I finally said it, and it can be regarded as happy." ”

Gao Yongchang clenched the steel knife, but let go again, he knew that if this was true, then their cooperation would save the suffering nearly 1 million Jurchen people in the entire Bohai Sea, this was the most important thing his father wanted to accomplish in his life, for this great goal, he was worth risking his life, thinking of this.

With tears in his eyes, he said, "I believe you, but my father, Gao Shun, is dead. ”

Gawain sighed, his eyes moistened a little, and said, "I didn't expect that I would never see him again in this life, and it seems that I will never be able to get his forgiveness." ”

"That's it, you serve in the army of my organization first, and I'll say that you are my distant nephew, and now that damn shrew and those pleasure-hungry Liao generals and nobles have already let down their guard against me, let's wait for the opportunity to work together, and when the time comes, when the matter is over, I'll deal with it, okay?" I know you can't fully believe me right now, but I've said everything I need to say. ”

Gao Yongchang said: "Okay, I believe in you, I hope you don't live up to the trust I and the nearly 1 million people in Bohai have in you, I'll deal with some other things first, and I'll be here in a few days, and I'll come to you at the same night." ”

Gawain had a long-lost smile on his face, clenched his fists tightly, and said, "I will redeem myself, I have been waiting for this opportunity for so many years."

By the time Gawain turned around, there was no one in the night.

In the morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the window, Tianci woke up from the dream in a daze, and suddenly found that Gao Yongchang, who was asleep next to him, was gone, which was not surprising at first, but when he saw that the package that Gao Yongchang put on the bed before going to bed was also gone, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Tianci hurriedly got up, opened the door, and saw that it was Uncle Wan Yan Ying.

Brother Wan Yan Ying said with a smile: I got up early, what about Yongchang? I have something to talk to him about.

Tianci hurriedly said: Uncle, it's not good, I woke up in the morning to find that Brother Yongchang was gone, and his package was also missing.

Brother Wan Yan Ying was not too surprised, slowly walked into the house, and saw that there was no one at the head of the bed, and the package was gone, Brother Wan Yan Ying sighed and said: It seems that this child still hasn't let go of here, yes, I should have expected that this is his home, how could he give up easily?

Tianci said with some self-reproach: "Uncle, blame me too, I should comfort and comfort Brother Yongchang, but I was a little stupid and didn't say anything." ”

Brother Wan Yan Ying smiled, touched Tianci's head affectionately and said, "Don't blame you, those who should go will leave after all." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly saw a letter on the table, and he opened it.

"Uncle Wanyan and Uncle Wanyan Ying, as well as a few brothers who have just befriended, after a long time of deep thought, I still decided to stay here, this is my home, there are too many things I care about, I have no way to leave, I will continue my father's career, for freedom, for the sake of the millions of Jurchens in Liaodong, I will continue to fight.

No matter what, my Bohai Jurchen clan and the northern Jurchen clan will always be brothers whose blood is thicker than water. I believe that one day, we will fight together to reclaim our homeland, and I hope that day will come soon. ”

After reading the letter, Brother Yan Ying's eyes were moist, and he couldn't bear to let it out.

Brother Wanyan Ying felt a little guilty in his heart, he and his eldest brother wanted to compromise with the people of Liao for the sake of the interests of the Wanyan tribe, but the Shadow Righteous Army was always fighting, even if he died in battle, yes, a person can die, but he can never lose his freedom.

What do you say, but how many people can do it, at this moment, Brother Wanyan Ying knows deeply that if there is no compromise, the cavalry of the Liao State will go north, so the name Wanyan tribe may not survive this winter.

Brother Wan Yan Ying placed the letter on the lit candle, and the letter turned to ashes in the flames.

Brother Wanyan Ying turned to look at Tianci with some self-reproach and said, "Gao Yongchang's departure is his own choice, I don't blame you for this, let's go." ”

When Tianci and Brother Wan Yan Ying walked out of the inn, everyone had already come out.

Brother Wan Yan Ying walked to Wan Yan Libo and told Gao Yongchang about his departure and letter.

Wan Yan Hai Li Chi sighed, looked up at the clear blue sky, mixed feelings, and said: "My good brother has just passed away, but I didn't greet his child well, I feel guilty in my heart!" ”

Everyone packed up and moved on.

In this way, along the way, I slept in the open air, stayed in the store when I met the store, and if I didn't, I made a fire and slept on the ground.
