Chapter 347: Mutual Prosecution
Su You's sixteen chariots were waiting outside the hall, He Ping and He Lin helped Zhu Zhitong into the car first according to his wishes, and were just about to follow him, but Su You stretched out his hand to stop them: "You don't have to follow, go to the hall and tell the Great Witch God, it will take a lot of time to come and go, if he can't wait, he doesn't have to sit here, and everyone will disperse first and wait for tomorrow." ”
When Herin heard that she was not allowed to follow, there was a look of disappointment on her face, when she entered Taiye City, she saw the pavilions and palaces everywhere, which was already an eye-opener, and when she heard that she could still enter the Golden Gate, she was secretly excited, but she was ordered by Su You to stay.
He Ping was not as disappointed as her, and replied: "When the slave maid left the palace, the great witch god had already spread the word, saying that the matter of the seal was the top priority, and tonight it was until midnight, and he would wait in the palace. Wen Shumi also said that he asked Patriarch Mo to arrange everyone's meals, and when he turned around, he would send them to the Zhangde Hall in the evening, and the lord of the country should only rest assured that he would go to get the seal. ”
The two sisters of Heshi spoke in Nanyu, and Zhu Zhitong was stunned when she heard it in the car, thinking that these two maids were wearing Imulan clothes, but the Nanyu they spoke was so standard, they looked like they were from the Southern Regions. So he quietly lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out, taking a closer look at the faces of Herin and Heping.
When Su You heard this, he frowned. The two elders of the Wen family really cooperated tacitly, and they didn't even give themselves a chance to delay. said that he was waiting in the Zhangde Palace, but in fact, he detained the Ming Emperor and the ministers of Bihai by his side, in order to warn Xiao Tong that after entering the Laiyi Palace, he only honestly stamped the seal, and Hugh had to move other thoughts.
He looked at the back of the car, where the Blood Flame King Qi Lie had already straddled the big dark cloud lion, and let the soldiers lead his little dark cloud lion behind him. Qi Lie beckoned to Herin, summoned him to his side and said, "Go and tell the lord of the country, I will lead the mount for him, he will take the car if he wants to, and get down and change the horse when he wants to ride." ”
Su You heard this and knew what he meant.
The dark waves in the hall were turbulent, and Qi Lie deliberately took the little dark cloud lion and wanted to say something to himself.
As for when to say it...... I'll be right behind the car, and you'll see for yourself.
It was early afternoon, the sun was getting west, and the pale golden light reflected Qi Lie's figure more and more magnificently, almost covering half of the chariot and covering Su You's body.
Su You slowly walked up to the chariot, and suddenly a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion surged from under his feet.
Northern Desert, Southern Regions.
Like a river sandwiched between these two mountains, I can only meander forward with stitches and needles, and I can't see the direction or turn back. Whichever side of the terrain is low, it will flow to which side, and every moment is the helplessness of going with the flow.
The beloved ones are close at hand, but they seem to be separated by mountain peaks, and they can't speak.
Su You entered the chariot, and Zhu Zhitong was sitting there in purple clothes and gold, her face was neither happy nor worried, and her eyes looked forward, as if she couldn't see him at all.
Su You sat silently on the other side, speechless for a while.
The chariot slowly walked out of Taiqing Island along the Yongdao in front of the Taiqing Nine Palaces, and turned to the Liufang Gate on the east side.
There was silence in the car, and from time to time a few rays of sunlight came in from the window lattice, shining on the table, on which was placed a set of black porcelain tea sets and a few plates of snacks, and the teapots and teacups were all pinched gold wire of fine black porcelain, which was swept by the afterglow, shining with delicate and pleasing light.
Su You knew that the black rock green needles must have been cooled in the pot, which He Ping would prepare in advance every time before he took the car.
He walked over with his head down, picked up the teapot and poured a seven-point full cup of tea and handed it to her, without saying a word.
Zhu Zhitong neither took it nor made a sound, biting her lips tightly and only looking low.
Su You was a little embarrassed there, and had to raise his glass and drink the tea in one go, then put down the cup and laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Xu ate salty in the morning...... I'll have another drink. As he spoke, he poured himself another glass, but before he could raise his glass, the tears could no longer be held back, and they flowed down his cheeks.
Zhu Zhitong saw him like this, and the past in the Huliang Pavilion appeared in front of him like a reflection.
How many times did she jump in from the window, and she picked up the cup and poured herself a drink like this, Da Su was not surprised when she saw it, so she just buried herself in reading a book, and sometimes she didn't greet her.
So she sat down at the table with the cup and watched him hold the book in a daze.
But he obviously has his back to him, but sometimes he is stared at like a thorn in his back, and his heart is ape.
It was always the moment she was looking forward to, and after a few more moments, he would slowly turn his head, baring his white teeth and smiling to himself, "What are you watching me do?" ”
She especially enjoyed the moment when he abandoned the book and turned his head to read.
Green shirts, jade crowns, ink incense, folding fans.
A refreshing smile is like a breeze on the lake after a summer shower.
Then she would deliberately retort: "It's obvious that you came to see me and asked me what I was doing." ”
They are all words for no reason, only the smile is free.
If life is only as first seen, you will never get tired of holding hands and looking at each other.
Zhu Zhitong raised her head, not intending to make eye contact with him.
White robes, golden crowns, thorns, and curved daggers.
She finally couldn't hold on any longer, and sighed faintly: "Da Su...... Why you? After that, two lines of tears flowed, and the tears were silent.
"You're right, why me...... If I could answer, I wouldn't have been so bitter. I don't know why, but overnight, my uncle, aunt, Lao Yang and you, everyone close to me disappeared. When I came to my senses, I was like a rare animal in captivity, carefully kept in a cage, fed with good food and drink, and no one told me where I was going, and no one told me what to do tomorrow. Even when I arrived in Dadu, they told me such and such secrets, but it was only a kind of information. ”
As Su You spoke, he suddenly couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, "Xiao Xiao, can you understand that feeling?" No matter how much they respect you and grovel before you, they will always condescend to inform me, of my origins, of the secrets of my mission, of the reason for my uncle's death, and of the robbery of Princess Silverspring. It seems that everything that happens in this world is just a play that they rehearse step by step, and they decide the life and death sorrows of life and death, and even make people feel that even I am just one of the corners of their arrangement. I don't have the slightest room to resist! ”
Zhu Zhitong listened to his defense, stopped her tears, and sneered: "There is no room for resistance? But you are the lord of the country! Just like you said in the temple just now, you are the head of the hundred tribes of Imuran! Who dares to be disobedient? ”
Su You was stabbed by her frosty smile, shook his head and said, "Xiao Xiao...... You've changed, you wouldn't have spoken like that before. ”
Zhu Zhitong looked up at Su You and asked, "Haven't you changed?" The way you look now is exactly the same as I saw in that dream, even the golden crown on your head. You say that dreams are all the opposite, but now you are no different from the foreign lord in your dreams, and I heard them say that you have even changed your name. You say I've changed, but are you still the same Da Su? Da Su I know, I'd rather not swim than jump into the lake, just because I don't want to take me into the water, the monster beast is currently blocking in front of me, let me run first, and never flinch half a step, in order to defend me, I don't hesitate to offend the Lu family on the Fuxing platform, but also to prove my fairness. I know Da Su, he ...... He has never forgotten the agreement he made with me in front of the Qinglian Palace. But the person in front of me, he's afraid he's forgotten who he is! ”
"I haven't forgotten! Xiao Xiao ...... No matter how I dress, no matter my name, I have never forgotten who I am, and I have never forgotten the oath I made that day. From the day I knew that you had come out of Taiye City to find me, I had been thinking about your whereabouts all the time, but I ...... Although I am the lord of a country in Imulan, I am actually held back by Wenlan and them everywhere, I ...... I ......" Su You held the back of the hand on the corner of the table, and the back of his hand was already suffocated, obviously unwilling to the extreme.
"I know you're hating me, the Imuran army broke through Linzhou, and Jin Yu was completely destroyed. Now the army is coming to the city, and it will be overwhelming to hold your mother. And I am the lord of Imulan! If you don't hate me, who do you hate...... But! If you think about it carefully, if I don't go south with the army and only hide in the capital, will Wen Lan be able not to send troops? He has been planning a plot for nearly twenty years, how can he stop fighting because of me, a crown prince who has just ascended to the throne of the country? Once he personally sits in the army, how can he be merciful when he strikes? I'm afraid that the blue sea is now a wasteland that is wailing for thousands of miles! ”
The more Su You spoke, the more excited he became, and he pointed out the window: "Do you know why I, as the lord of the country, don't even let the two maids around me follow?" You also quietly took a look at their faces with the art of contemplation, but you can see the clues? ”
Zhu Zhitong was silent for a moment, and replied: "I did observe the faces of those two, one of them should be fine, but the other is treacherous, I guess someone has placed your eyes and ears next to you." ”
Su You smiled bitterly: "Yes, one of them is indeed the eyes and ears sent by the Wen family, and I know who it is, but even such a small maid, I can't get rid of it, I can only pretend that I can't see who is fine between the two, and take them all with me, lest I startle the snake." Think about it, what kind of life have I been living these days? Can I really command a thousand armies to do whatever I want, as you said? No, I can't! ”
"Xiao Xiao...... You don't know, the situation between the three clans of Imuran Blood Eagle Blade is beyond imagination. Speaking of which, you may not believe it, but the reason why you have been safe and quiet for 20 years is not because of the trade routes between Imuran and Bihai to facilitate friendship, but because these three clans are the result of each other's calculations and plans! Wen Lan took me as the lord of the country, but he just wanted to put the people of the three clans under the name of me, the puppet lord, and he hid behind his back and led the line to control me. So I have to stay in the army, and I have to be here in this way! Because there are people in this Taiye City that I must protect, besides you, and the Princess Silver Spring entrusted to me by Uncle You, I have never forgotten! I changed my name to Su You just to remind myself that some people have some things that they can't forget for the rest of their lives! Forget, I'm not the same person anymore...... Can you understand? ”
