Chapter 368: A Choice Within a Choice
Qiu Shiliang's appearance did not stop the three old ministers.
Because for them.
Death may be a kind of glory, a supreme glory that is enough to shine for a thousand years.
So they are not afraid of death, and if possible, even just one death.
And Qiu Shiliang understands this, so he will not let such people die, at least until they have achieved their goals, these people cannot die.
The twilight is getting darker and the weather is getting colder.
Liu Kuo anxiously paced in the room, looking out from time to time at something, and the Baifu was immersed in an atmosphere of sadness and uneasiness.
In the face of this unknown storm, they are powerless, just as powerless as Bai Minzhong.
"Shaolang-kun"
Outside the door, I remembered the old manager's choked voice.
"What?" Liu Kuo hurriedly opened the door, but his expression froze instantly.
"It's you?!"
Liu Kuo looked at the young man beside the boss, and his tone was as cold as ice.
"It's me!"
Li Zhen nodded at Liu Kuo.
"Uncle is not here, what are you doing?"
Liu Kuo's heart still can't let go of the hatred of killing his father, and no one can let go of such a bitter hatred.
"I'm coming for you!"
Li Zhen said, and then raised his chin into the room.
"I have already said that your uncle is not here, and you are not welcome in the White Mansion!" Liu Kuo didn't pay attention to Li Zhen's hints, at this time he was not in the mood to say more than half a word to the enemy who killed his father.
"I'm here for the white face, if you don't want him to lose his life!"
Li Zhen then said.
Liu Kuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, he knew that although he was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't refuse Li Zhen at this time.
For Li Zhen, Liu Kuo knows the most deeply and thoroughly, even more than Yan Heng knows about Li Zhen.
Although Liu Kuo looks a little stupid, perhaps only Bai Minzhong knows that his nephew still hides a seven-trick exquisite heart in this fat body.
So Liu Kuo knows Li Zhen even more than he knows himself.
The reason why he did not refuse Li Zhen was because Liu Kuo knew how terrible his mortal enemy was, and even Liu Kuo once suspected that the beginning and end of these things had an inseparable relationship with Li Zhen.
Liu Kuo finally let Li Zhen in, although the idea of killing Li Zhen flashed in his mind more than once during this period.
But Liu Kuo still held back, because he vaguely felt that Li Zhen might be a key.
"Say it!" Liu Kuo said directly, his tone was still very cold.
Li Zhen turned to look at Liu Kuo and said, "I know you want to kill me, so you also have a chance to kill me!" ”
Liu Kuo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he didn't say a word, just stared at Li Zhen with a murderous expression.
Li Zhen continued: "But you didn't do it, so I'm going to tell you some truth!" ”
Yan Heng stood alone in the empty courtyard, and his already lonely figure looked even more lonely.
Yan Heng sent out all the bad people around the capital.
Three hundred and eighty-three.
Yan Heng clearly remembered this number, but he didn't know what role this number could play in the end, he only knew that there was only so much he could do.
The fragrant wind struck, and a shadow slowly walked into Yan Heng's field of vision.
"Sister Yue'er?!"
Yan Heng looked at Yue'er who suddenly appeared in front of him and was a little surprised.
"The door wasn't closed, and I came in!"
Yue'er said with a smile, her brows and eyes curled like the moon in the night sky.
"But what does my sister have to say?" Yan Heng asked.
Yue'er nodded and looked around alertly.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one here!" Yan Heng said with a smile.
"You should stay by Qiu Shiliang's side!" Yue'er said worriedly.
"I heard that Bai Minzhong, Pei Xiu and Feng Ao were kneeling outside the Danfeng Gate, and he entered the palace early in the morning!" Yan Heng smiled slightly, and beckoned Yue'er to speak in the house.
Yue'er waved her hand and said, "The lady asked you a word, and I will leave after asking, you are uncomfortable staying in this place for a long time!" ”
Yan Heng was not reluctant when he heard this, and then asked, "What did Sister say?" ”
"Tomorrow, can you go to Lishan with Qiu Shiliang?" Yue'er asked.
"I can't see the light of day on this errand, he won't let me go to Lishan!" Yan Heng replied, "However, according to the precedent, bad people will be monitored around Lishan to make sure that nothing goes wrong!" And these Qiu Shiliang don't know! ”
"Qiu Shiliang really wants to rebel?" Yue'er asked again.
Yan Heng nodded, his expression a little serious: "Really! ”
After thinking about it, Yue'er said, "The lady asked, if you can only protect one of Your Majesty and Li Zhen, who do you choose?" ”
Yan Heng was slightly stunned when he heard this, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."
"You have to know!" Yue'er immediately said, "You can't get rid of this problem, if it really happens tomorrow, Qiu Shiliang won't give you time to think!" ”
Yan Heng slowly lowered his head and was silent.
"Choose a big man" Yan Heng replied through gritted teeth, his tightly clenched fists creaking.
Yue'er shook her head and said, "No! You want to choose Your Majesty! ”
"Why?! If I want to watch Da Lang die, I can't do it! Yan Heng roared, his face a little hideous.
Yue'er just stared at Yan Heng intently, without saying a word.
Leaning less, Yan Heng's expression gradually became a little depressed, and he pleaded and said, "Tell my sister, I really can't do it!" ”
"But you have to do it, there can be no Li Zhen in this world, but you can't do without Your Majesty! The lady said that Li Zhen would ask you to do the same! ”
Yan Heng looked up at Yue'er, there were no tears in his eyes, only endless despair and resentment.
This is the first time that Yan Heng has such a strong sense of remorse in his heart, regretting why he came to Chang'an in the first place, and he has to face such a painful and difficult choice.
"The lady's feelings for Li Zhen are deeper and more intimate than any of you, but this is the will of heaven, this is luck!"
Yue'er said softly, "I said this sentence!" ”
"If that's the case"
Yan Heng raised his head and closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "No matter who he is, no matter where he is, no matter how many years it takes!" I will use every piece of skin and flesh on his body to bury Da Lang! ”
After hearing this, Yue'er was already teary-eyed, nodded vigorously, forced out a smile, and said, "Maybe things won't be as bad as we imagined!" ”
Yan Heng nodded with a blank expression and did not speak.
Bai Min Zhongxiangfu.
Liu Kuo listened quietly, and the expression on his face gradually became calmer from the initial horror.
It wasn't until Li Zhen finished speaking that Liu Kuo asked, "It's gone?" ”
"It's gone!" Li Zhen replied.
After a moment of silence, Liu Kuo looked at Li Zhen and said slowly, "But I don't believe you!" ”
And Li Zhen then said: "Now you can only trust me!" ”
"Uncle may have done many wrong things in his life, but his heart still belongs to Datang!" Liu Kuo looked at Li Zhen and said expressionlessly: "I hope you don't hurt him!" ”
"If I had harmed him, I would not have come today!"
Liu Kuo nodded and said, "You can go!" ”
Li Zhen smiled slightly, turned around, but then turned around and said to Liu Kuo: "You have changed a lot, compared to that Liu Kuo in Jiangling Mansion, I prefer you to look like you now!" ”
Liu Kuo snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Thank you!" ”
Li Zhen smiled bitterly, saluted Liu Kuo, and said, "This time, we are friends, not enemies!" ”
Liu Kuo turned his back to Li Zhen and said slowly, "I will kill you in the future!" ”
