Chapter 123: Life and Death

Chengdu

Takefu

Zhu Zongchen sat on the carved wooden chair and pushed Ning'er's letter in his hand in front of Mr. Zhu, who was sitting down.

"Mr. Zhu, take a look, I just sent it."

Mr. Zhu took the letter, glanced up and down, and roughly knew what Ning Er meant in the letter, and then turned his head to Zhu Zongchen and said, "Lord Zhu's subordinates are really a ruthless character." ”

Zhu Zongchen smiled and said: "I really didn't see it, this Ning'er is a ruthless method, killing Liu Siyi and cleaning up Zhang Yu by the way, I really want to take her away." ”

"When the desire is stronger, if you don't know how to control it, it is the way to get rid of it. Last time I was in the political envoy department, I saw this girl, and with just one glance, I knew that she would never be able to become Liu Siyi. ”

Mr. Zhu's words aroused Zhu Zongchen's curiosity, and he asked, "Oh? How so? ”

"The little girl is young, her eyes are full of endless desires, and there is not a trace of kindness."

Mr. Zhu then reminded: "The Wugu Sect is now her Yiyantang, if I guess correctly, the next target is you, my lord." This kind of person is not familiar with it. ”

Zhu Zongchen has been in the officialdom for decades, and has seen countless people in the Huan Sea, this pair of vicious eyes also made him choose the latter between Ning Er and Liu Siyi, of course, Liu Siyi's split heart was caused by the comfort in the middle,

But even Zhu Zongchen didn't expect that under the repeated indulgence of his power, he actually let this seed of hidden demons sprout quickly, and after enduring it for more than ten years, she began to stretch out her bloodthirsty minions around.

Mr. Zhu opened his mouth and asked, "What are you going to do now?" If she is allowed to continue like this, she will soon get rid of the control of adults, and it will be difficult to end at that time. ”

Zhu Zongchen looked unhurried, picked up the scroll in front of him, flipped through it casually, and responded as if unintentionally: "Mr. Zhu, just like you said, Ning'er is a person who doesn't know how to control desires, a person who doesn't know how to control desires, she will never be able to get out of her own circle, he can't even get out of his own circle, what else do I have to worry about." ”

"That's right."

Zhu Zongchen seemed to remember something, put down the scroll in his hand again, raised his head and asked, "Does Mr. Zhu know what happened to Zeng Ziren and An Yi with the Liao army at the Qingchuan River?" ”

Mr. Zhu nodded, he read the battle report sent in the morning, but he looked through it first, and roughly knew the situation in the north.

"I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Mr. Zhu thought for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he responded: "I have an idea in my heart, but I don't know if it is in line with the meaning of adults." ”

"Oh? When did Mr. Zhu become one of those drunken and meaty people, and began to slap his horse at the old man? Zhu Zongchen smiled and quipped,

"That's good, you and I write this idea in the palm of our hands, and after we finish writing, we will know the difference when we touch the palm, how about it?"

Mr. Zhu was obviously very interested in Zhu Zongchen's proposal, and nodded: "Just do as the adults say." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Zongchen called the maid on the side, took the four treasures of the study, and the two of them each carried a wolf pen, filled the ink and wrote in the palms of their hands,

After a while, the two of them touched their fists on the square table, smiled at each other, opened their palms at the same time, and saw two people with very different lines of writing, but they wrote three identical words:

Five Grains Sect!

"I thought Take-sama would write two-character names."

Mr. Zhu saw that it was the same as what was written in the palm of Zhu Zongchen's palm, so he asked the doubts in his heart just now,

After hearing this, Zhu Zongchen smiled at him and said, "If the building collapses, who will Zhu be an official for?" ”

.............................

Garrison Office

Jiang Ruyue had just received the battle report sent back by An Yi, and only then did she learn about the little prince's southern invasion.

An Yi told Jiang Ruyue his judgment in his heart, Jiang Ruyue agreed very much, his thoughts were the same as An Yi, thinking that this Yelu Xiuke was simply leading the army to raid Chengdu privately.

Jiang Ruyue has some understanding of the dispute between the emperor and the queen of the Liao people, and he estimates that this Empress Dowager Xiao is deliberately suppressing Yelu Xiuke, if Yelu Xiuke really encounters obstacles in the Qingchuan River, he will order the withdrawal of the army, and with the iron-fisted means of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he will definitely further suppress the Liao royal family.

Therefore, although this Jeruxiuke seems to be menacing, one cannot last long, and the other is eager to win,

Jiang Ruyue told An Yi in her reply that no matter how brave and good the cavalry under Yelu Xiuke was, as long as it was delayed and dragged steadily, undefeated would be a great victory!

He was writing a letter to An Yi when suddenly a timid female voice came from outside the house,

"Excuse me...... Be...... Jiang Ruyue Jiang-sama? ”

Jiang Ruyue raised her head when she heard the sound and looked at the woman who was leaning on the door, although she was not very familiar, he still recognized the little attendant behind Liu Siyi, Ziyun.

He didn't know how Ziyun found here, but between the relationship between An Yi and Liu Siyi, Jiang Ruyue still didn't slack off,

"It's Miss Ziyun, please come in."

Jiang Ruyue led Ziyun to sit down in the hall, instructed the maid to pour a pot of tea, and then asked her, "Miss Ziyun came to find her, but is there something?" ”

Ziyun took off the hoodie on her head, and said in embarrassment: "Master Jiang, I also had no choice but to think of coming to you, I ......... I was desperate. ”

As he spoke, his little face was crying and mourning.

Don't look at Jiang Ruyue's ability to strategize and win thousands of miles, in the face of this crying and crying delicate woman, he is really a little overwhelmed, where has he seen this battle, and hurriedly comforted: "That....... Don't cry, do you need my help? Or is there anything to look for comfort? Just say it. ”

Ziyun wiped the tears on her face and said: "Master, she hasn't returned for many days, there is no news, I'm afraid something happened to her, in Chengdu, I can't find anyone else, so I can only come to ask for help." ”

Qianyun Tower was seized, Liu Siyi disappeared for many days, Ziyun can be said to be unaccompanied in Chengdu, while worrying about Liu Siyi, but at the same time she didn't have a clue, she ran to the political envoy to inquire, but the guards at the door didn't even let her enter the door, and the little girl was indeed desperate, so she had to run to the garrison office to find Jiang Ruyue.

Jiang Ruyue did hear An Yi say that he sent someone to find Liu Siyi in Chengdu, but he didn't care at the time, thinking that this pair didn't know what they were tossing again.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, don't worry! Anything about comfort is my business, and I'll do my best to help you, but you have to tell me everything you know. ”

Jiang Ruyue said solemnly to Ziyun,

Ziyun nodded, and at this time, there was nothing to hide, so she said eloquently: "Liu Siyi and I have both become members of the Five Grains Sect since we were very young..........

------------------------------

Wugu Sect Dazhai

"Head....... It hurts! ”

Liu Siyi stroked his forehead, and when he woke up from his coma, he found himself in a stone well.

However, she grew up in the Wugu Sect and quickly recognized that this place, which was three or five zhang high from the wellhead, was the stone chamber in the sect.

This stone chamber is located in an open-air school field in Wugujiao Dazhai, based on a dry well, surrounded by bluestone slabs.

Because of the perennial darkness and dampness, the wall of the well is covered with moss, and this well is so deep that you can't climb it even if you have the ability to reach the sky.

Not to mention

Liu Siyi's hands and feet were all locked by chains connected to the ground, and he could only maintain a bowed posture at most, and it was difficult to even stand up straight.

"Let me out!"

The body that had just woken up had not been able to muster too much strength, and the crisp shouts echoed everywhere in the wall of the well, and before it had climbed to the mouth of the well, it had already disappeared into invisibility.

Liu Siyi struggled to break the chain trapped in her hand, and the iron thicker than her wrist seemed to be just shaking perfunctorily, and there was no movement.

"Let me out!"

"Sister Liu, this early in the morning, you are here to make a noise, but what about me?"

Ning Er's figure appeared at the mouth of the well above, looking at Liu Siyi who was trapped with a mocking expression,

Liu Siyi still clearly remembered that at the last second of consciousness, he saw the big word "kill" written on the decree given by Zhu Zongchen to Ning'er,

"If it falls into your hands, if you want to kill it, you will kill it, why torture me like this!"

"Tut~"

Ning Er pretended to be sorry and shook her head, squatted down, and said to Liu Siyi at the bottom of the well: "Why is Sister Liu so fearless now?" Don't you want your white-headed lover anymore? ”

Her words still touched the softness and the most reluctant concern in Liu Siyi's heart, adding a trace of loneliness to her kind eyes.

"My sister, but you don't have to worry about this, now Liu Siyi is already a dead person in this world! Soon, he will also learn of your death, and I wonder how grief-stricken it will be. Just stay here and you'll never be found. ”

After Ning Er finished speaking, she left a cold face and turned away,

She just wants Liu Siyi to know that each other is alive in the world, but she can't see each other comfortably, until she dies silently, this sense of despair is more mental torment than physical torment,

Only in this way can Ning'er satisfy Ning'er's sense of imbalance over the years, which is also a protector of the Dharma, but deeply feels subservient to others.

"Lord Fashen, the sect leader is here!"

As soon as Ning Er turned around, a sect member rushed over and handed the letter from the Zhu Zongchen in his hand in front of her with both hands.

"Got it, go find Hall Master Wu."

She commanded as she opened the letter.

In the letter, Zhu Zongchen did what Mr. Zhu thought, and asked Ning'er to take the whole army of the Wugu Sect out to continue the decisive battle with the Liao army.

However, this letter made Ning Er's heart feel a little uneasy,

She didn't understand why the sect leader had been urging her to fight the officers and soldiers and the Liao people in recent days, it was not easy for the tens of thousands of families of the Wugu Sect to save up, and according to the sect leader who came down like this, she might be completely lost, which was not in line with the careful teaching style that Zhu Zongchen had always been cautious about.

This reminded Ning Er of what Liu Siyi said before, don't sect leader Zhu Zongchen really have any other ideas........

"Meet the god of Ningfa!"

Wu Yi, who had just suffered a big defeat, interrupted Ning Er's thoughts, and when he got the order, he immediately rushed over, and as soon as he saw him, he leaned over and lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head,

"Hmph, bring out more than 10,000 people, and bring back less than 5,000, this is a good means for your Wu Hall Master!"

Ning Er said to Wu Yi who was kneeling on the ground with some dissatisfaction,

Wu Yi was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed a few times, and said in a loud voice: "The God of Law forgives sins, the God of Law forgives sins, that Liao people suddenly appeared, and they caught me off guard, and their combat effectiveness is really strong, it is difficult to match." ”

"That's it!"

Ning Er waved his hand impatiently, interrupted his complaint, and continued: "The sect leader has an order to order us to fight the Liao army, so this time you should go." ”

"Also....... Still going to fight? ”

Wu Yi raised his head, and was also very puzzled by Zhu Zongchen's decree,

Ning Er lowered her head to meet his gaze, and said with some coldness in her eyes: "Listen, you take this heavy cavalry, just follow the Liao army from a distance, don't have any relief, he enters and chases you, he retreats and you run, if there is any abnormal movement, Pegasus will report immediately, subject to my instructions, no one needs to listen to anyone's words!" Got it? ”

Wu Yi was stunned by Ning Er's eyes, and responded: "Yes!" Lord Hogami! I understand. ”
