Chapter Seventy-Two: Breaking Friendship with the Painted Land

When Yiguang arrived at the palace gate, several forbidden soldiers were preparing to take Gongzi Mountain out, and after signaling the forbidden army to retreat, Yiguang handed the portrait to Gongzi Mountain, "This is what the king asked me to give you!" ”

After Gongzi Mountain unfolded, he said coldly: "What does he mean by this?" ”

"The king has never forgotten his brotherhood with the second son, but this time, the second son really broke the king's heart, so he was forced to exile you."

"Never forgot?" Gongzishan read these four words with a sarcastic face, and the next moment, the picture scroll was torn in two, thrown heavily on the ground, and said angrily: "I can't stand his brotherhood!" ”

Yiguang sighed, looked at the torn portrait and said, "Second son, why bother." ”

Gongzishan said hatefully: "You don't have to be coy here, aren't you looking forward to me turning against Brother Wang, just like provoking my father and Brother Wang to turn against each other, you demon concubine is so vicious." ”

Yiguang picked up the portrait on the ground and said in a cool voice: "Do you think the problem between the king and Wu Xiang was caused by me?" ”

Childe Shan scoffed at her question, "Isn't it?" ”

"Wu Xiang is proud of his high merits, and he controls the king everywhere, and he has already accumulated a grudge, whether there is my existence or not, the two of them will turn against each other."

"Impossible." Gongzishan didn't believe her words at all, "Before you appeared, Brother Wang obeyed his father's words, and I don't know how good the relationship is, if you hadn't made a hindrance, Gou Jian would have been killed a long time ago!" ”

Yiguang said with a solemn expression: "Killing the king of Yue will only worsen the relations between Wu and Yue, and it will not be beneficial to stabilize the situation at all." ”

Gongzishan couldn't listen to it, and said coldly: "You don't have to tell me this, I'm not a brother Wang who was carried away by beauty." ”

Hearing this, Yi Guang's eyes turned cold, "The second prince keeps accusing the king of being carried away by beauty, what about yourself?" Is it really faithful? ”

Gongzishan's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to look directly into Yiguang's eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

Yiguang didn't answer directly, but repeated a sentence he heard more than a month ago, "He's a prince, and I'm also a prince, why not?" ”

Hearing this familiar sentence, Gongzishan was shocked, and looked at Yiguang with a look like a ghost, "You...... How would you know? ”

Yiguang shook his head, "I happened to be in the secret passage that day. ”

Gongzishan said with an ugly face: "So, you heard everything I said to Dan'er?" Does Dan'er know? ”

Yiguang said in a cool voice: "After the second son left, I showed up to meet my sister. ”

Gongzishan was stunned, no wonder he saw Zheng Dan twice, the latter always looked preoccupied and worried, and always asked him not to see each other again.

At that time, Yiguang's words continued, "If it weren't for Bo Yao's other calculations, he didn't recommend the second son to lead the troops, but I was afraid that the day when the second son won the victory would be the time to force the palace!" ”

When Yiguang told him the deepest secret at the bottom of the center, Gongzishan said angrily: "If it weren't for Brother Wang being confused by you and putting Wu Guo in danger, why would I have made such a decision." ”

Yiguang was not angry, and smiled indifferently, "It seems that the second son thinks that I am in trouble, so I am not saying this today, but I want to ask the second son to do me a favor." ”

Gongzishan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What are you busy?" ”

"The second prince was exiled to the border by the king this time, and I don't know when he will be able to return to Gusu, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, or maybe a lifetime; I don't want my sister to live in endless thoughts and pain, and I don't want her to do anything foolish under impulse, so I want to ask the second son to write a letter to break my sister's thoughts. ”

Gongzishan's chest ached, and he said astringently: "You want me to break off the relationship with Dan'er?" ”

"You two shouldn't have started in the first place." Yiguang said coldly: "If you really love your sister, you should break this bad relationship as soon as possible and let her live the rest of her life peacefully." ”

Gongzishan clenched his hands tightly, and the heavens and men were at war in his heart, he was reluctant to Zheng Dan, but he knew that what Yiguang said was the truth, and he didn't know when he would be able to return when he went to the border.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth fiercely and said bitterly: "Okay, I'll write!" But you have to promise me one thing! ”

"Second son, please speak."

"You have to keep Dan'er safe for half of her life, and don't let her be hurt in the slightest."

"She's my sister, even if you don't say it, I'll do my best to keep her safe."

"Okay." Gongzishan breathed a sigh of relief, asked Yiguang to find pen and ink, tore off a corner of his robe, and wrote a desperate letter.

"Thank you, second son." Yiguang took the piece of cloth after writing and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember your promise, if you break it, even if it is to the ends of the earth, I will take your life." After saying this, Gongzishan walked out of the palace gate with the forbidden army and disappeared into the light and shadow.

In less time, the news of Gongzishan's exile to the border spread all over the palace, Zheng Dan learned, shocked and worried, asked around, and when he learned that Gongzishan was degraded, Yiguang was also present, and immediately decided that Yiguang was provoking and persecuting Gongzishan, and immediately rushed to Yiguang's residence in a rage.

Yiguang was leading several palace people to turn the half-dried grass in the courtyard, and when he saw Zheng Dan coming in, he said with a smile: "Sister is here, please sit inside." ”

Zheng Dan ignored her and asked directly: "Why do you want to harm the second son?" ”

Yiguang's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to signal the palace people to go out, and only after the two of them were left in the courtyard did he say coldly: "Sister shouldn't say this in front of the palace people." ”

Zheng Dan was angry at this moment, how could he listen to it, and said angrily: "I don't need you to teach me, I only ask you, why do you want to harm the second son?" ”

Yiguang said indifferently: "I didn't harm him, it was the second son who committed the crime, and he repeatedly contradicted him, so he annoyed the king and exiled him to the border." ”

Zheng Dan scoffed at her words, "They are brothers, they are connected by blood and blood, and they have been in peace for 20 years, how can the king exile the second son to the border because of a few words, and he has to bring the mouth cover of Na Laoshizi, it's just ......" Zheng Dan couldn't say it anymore in heartache, and his hatred for Yiguang was a little more, and he pointed at her and said sharply: "You must have instigated it, so that their brothers turned against each other!" ”

Zheng Dan's ignorance disappointed Yiguang, "They are brothers, but also monarchs and ministers, and the second son just can't tell this apart, so he will end up like this." Saying that, she said: "Before leaving, the second son asked me to hand over a letter to my sister. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Dan hurriedly said: "Where is the letter, give it to me quickly!" ”

After reading the letter handed by Yiguang, Zheng Dan's face turned pale, his fingertips trembled constantly, he could barely hold the thin piece of fabric, and muttered in his mouth: "Impossible...... It couldn't be ......."

Yiguang persuaded on the side: "The second son has suddenly woken up, and he has broken off this relationship that violates the code of ethics, and my sister should also wake up, don't be obsessed anymore." ”

Zheng Dan shook his head again and again, and said excitedly: "He said that he would cherish me and love me for the rest of his life, pity me and love me, never leave me alive and dead, and will never leave me alone, this letter must be fake!" ”

"Every word in the letter is written by the second son, and my sister should recognize it."

Zheng Dan's eyes were red and he said: "Unless he says it to me personally, he won't believe what I say." Speaking of this, she didn't know what she thought, and suddenly stared at Yiguang with resentment, "I know, you must have forced him to write this desperate letter, you have always disliked my association with the second son, and you are planning to separate us!" ”

"I have nothing left, only the second son, why don't you even give me such a little happiness, why do you ......" The more Zheng Dan spoke, the more sad he became, and his body trembled from crying.

Yiguang sighed and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "No matter what I do, it's for my sister's good." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Dan suddenly clenched Yiguang's hand tightly, and said with a look of anticipation: "You help me beg the king to let him spare the second son and not exile him to such a far place." ”

Yiguang frowned and said: "You have no jokes, how can the king change his words." ”

Zheng Dan hurriedly shook his head, "No, the king listens to you the most, as long as you speak, he will definitely agree." Seeing that Yiguang was unmoved, she knelt down in a hurry and begged: "Since I was a child, I haven't begged you for anything, only this time, I beg you, let the second son live!" ”

"Sister, get up first!" No matter how Ren Yiguang persuaded and even pulled, Zheng Dan always refused to get up, such obsession made Yiguang angry, "Why don't you understand, reluctantly letting the second son stay in Gusu really hurt him." ”

"Impossible." Before Zheng Dan's words fell, Yiguang said again: "The king is disgusted with Wu Zixu's dictatorship, so he supports Bo Yao to compete with him. Yes, in the first battle of Ailing, Bo Yao deceived the casualties, and the king was very angry, but for the sake of face and suppression of Wu Zixu, he would never punish Bo Yao, but the second son couldn't see the situation clearly, and blindly helped Wu Zixu speak, not only forcing the king to restore his military power, but also saying, 'Wu Guo can't be without a father for a day', every sentence is a heart-wrenching word, if it weren't for the king's brotherhood, the second son would have already fallen to the ground. ”

"Once is forgivable, but what if it is two or three times? Sooner or later, this affection will wear off, and at that moment, it will not be as simple as exile on the border; Moreover...... "Yiguang's face was as cold as frost," you had an affair with the second son, and he had the intention of usurping the throne and seizing power, once this matter was discovered, not only would the blood flow into a river, but it would also ruin the plan to rescue King Yue! ”

Yiguang leaned down, pressed Zheng Dan's trembling shoulders hard, and said word by word: "Sister, you believe me, it is the best choice to keep the second son away from Gusu!" ”

"I believe you......" Zheng Dan ate and smiled, and the next moment, she pushed Yiguang away with force, and said angrily: "Speaking of which, it's nothing more than that I'm afraid that I and the second son will ruin your plan, and no one really thinks about me, including you!" ”

She stood up as she spoke, her expression sad and hideous, "I always thought that you and I grew up together, and I had some affection, so I came to beg you; Now it seems that I am too naΓ―ve, and you only have yourself in your eyes! ”

"Sister......

"Don't call me!" Zheng Dan interrupted sharply, her beautiful face was distorted like a demon in the summer light, she casually took the wooden stick on the side, drew a long horizontal line on the ground, and said coldly: "Today I will break off friendship with you, and I will break off my righteousness from now on!" ”
