Chapter 808: Sacrifice
Although Xue Shao knew a little about hypnosis, he didn't think he was a professional and qualified psychiatrist, so he didn't plan to treat Xuan Yunzi for any disease.
"I'm curious to know now, what is your true attitude towards this marriage?" Xue Shao asked the core question.
Xuan Yunzi was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Xue Shao seriously, "I will marry you." ”
Xue Shao was stunned, my mother-in-law, what are you kidding?
"Xuanyunzi is indeed burdened by the demons in his heart, and he lives in all kinds of pain." Xuan Yunzi said, "But she has never been a person who retreats and evades. ”
Well, you're a woman! - Xue Shao smiled bitterly in his heart, but asked patiently, "Why did you make such a decision?" Don't you know that as long as our marriage has not been formalized, there is still room for manoeuvre? ”
"If there is really leeway, there is no need to wait for you to make a move." Xuan Yunzi's tone was very light, but Xue Shao clearly felt a domineering aura in all directions.
"The Queen Mother is persecuted by you?" Xue Shao asked naturally.
"No one can, really force me." Xuan Yunzi shook his head and said, "Since it is a heavenly tribulation, it is destined to be unavoidable. I have come to see this marriage as a sacrifice of mine. ”
"Sacrifice?" Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "For whom?" ”
"For my brother, for the samurai, for the stability of the world and the new dynasty, for myself, and for you." Xuan Yunzi said.
Xue Shao smiled, "Sounds quite great." But IMHO, I'm not too understanding. Because in my opinion, any other woman from a martial arts family can do this. Why do you want to do it yourself? ”
"No one can do it but me." Xuan Yunzi said, "If any other martial artist marries you, with your personality, you will definitely put it on the shelf and ignore it, and this marriage will be in name only, and it will not be able to achieve the important original intention of alleviating the conflict between you and the nephew of the martial family, and it will even have the opposite effect." If you continue like this, one day Wu Chengsi and Wu Youning will die at your hands; Or, you die at their hands! ”
"It's also possible that I died at the hands of the Queen Mother, right?" Xue Shao said with a smile.
Xuan Yunzi once again replaced her answer with silence.
"In other words, if the daughter of the martial arts family who married does not have enough weight and ability, even the queen mother will not be able to really reassure me. Because, after all, I am Li Tang's relative, and bloodline is the original sin. Xue Shao said, "So, I do have a share of your sacrifice." ”
Xuan Yunzi's expression was very calm, "I said it, I actually care about my brother and family very much. I can't watch them die at your hands in the future. ”
"Then let them kill me." Xue Shao sneered.
Xuan Yunzi was silent for a moment, looked at the flames in the fire that were about to be extinguished, and said indifferently: "If I can accept this matter, there won't be so many troubles." In today's assassination, only one of the two of us will survive. ”
Xue Shao was slightly stunned, what do you mean?
Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, still looking at the fire in a daze, "A person's dying is indeed good in his words, because his heart is true." ”
Xue Shao was silent for a moment and asked, "Then can you tell me what you were thinking when the tip of your sword was only an inch away from my throat?" ”
Xuan Yunzi turned his face to look at Xue Shao, and said four words quietly, "You can't die." ”
"What else?"
"Nope."
This time Xue Shao fell silent. Xuan Yunzi's mind is very complicated, but it is actually very clear. To put it bluntly, it's four words - trapped by love!
"Your rise and rise to prominence are too fast, which is beyond everyone's expectations." Xuan Yunzi took the initiative to divert the topic and said, "Among them, including the Queen Mother herself." ”
"Including you?"
"Yes." Xuan Yunzi nodded, "When I saw you for the first time, you mourned Zhang Miao in Zhongnan Mountain. At that time, I wondered about you, how could such a noble son, who was about to become a concubine, risk great disapproval to mourn a prostitute? For the name? For profit? For mercy? To redeem one's conscience? …… It doesn't seem to be all! ”
"So you started approaching me?" Xue Shao asked.
Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, "There are really not too many people and things in this world that can interest me. ”
"And then?"
Xuan Yunzi said: "At that time, my senior brother was also there, and he inadvertently talked about the prophecy of the Heavenly Master when I was twelve years old. At that time, I was on the rise, so I said to him - if I still have the Red Luan Star in my life, it will only be moved by Xue. ”
"Me?"
"You."
"It's just a joke." Xue Shao smiled, "At that time, you didn't know anything about me. And you know, I'm about to become a colt. ”
"You're right, it was a joke at the time." Xuan Yunzi said, "But I have a strong premonition in my heart that there will be many stories between me and you in the future." ”
"As it turns out, your hunch is not wrong." Xue Shao sighed secretly, what a sin!
"Have you ever felt like this?" Xuan Yunzi suddenly asked, "When you meet an unrelated stranger, but you always feel familiar with him, you feel that there will be an inextricable connection between each other, or you have experienced a lot of past events together?" ”
"Yes." Xue Shao replied without hesitation. Because when I first met Princess Taiping, I was shocked by my mood, and I will never forget it!
"You gave me that feeling." Xuan Yunzi said, "I'm becoming more and more curious about you, I want to know everything about you, but I'm afraid to get too close to you. I'm glad to be friends with you, and I've been a part of some of your things. But at the same time I was also depressed because I found that I had almost lost myself and everything I did was already related to you. It's only now that I fully understand that I'm already stuck in your life, and I can't help myself. ”
"My fault, I'm sorry." Xue Shao could only say this.
"It's none of your business. I'm to blame. Xuan Yunzi was still calm, and said eloquently as if telling a story: "Xuan Yunzi is such a pathetic person, she doesn't even know what her pursuit is. When she saw that Xue Shao's life was so exciting, and his will and pursuit were so firm, she was deeply attracted to it, and involuntarily indulged in it. It's like reading a wonderful book, Xuanyunzi imagines himself as the protagonist of the book as if he is obsessed, and experiences the same joys, sorrows, and sorrows as him. Anxious about what he was worried about, rejoicing at his success, and sad and weeping for his sadness. You say, to what extent is Xuanyunzi confused and empty that he has fallen to this? ”
"......" Xue Shao was speechless, and suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure coming.
He really wanted to tell Xuan Yunzi that this is not confusion or emptiness, but when you ...... If you are truly in love with you, it will be like this!
But he didn't say it.
Because Xuanyunzi is confused and painful enough.
"Don't talk about that!" Xuan Yunzi forced a smile and said, "No matter what you think, I will definitely marry you." After marriage, you still only have one wife, Princess Taiping, and your concubines, children, and family still have nothing to do with me. As for the relationship between you and me, of course we are husband and wife outside, and I will do my best to reconcile the contradictions between you and the samurai, which is my mission. Privately, I hope we can still be friends as before, regardless of men and women or love. You are still the commanding Xue Concubine, and I am still the Xuanyunzi who seeks immortals - is it okay? ”
Xue Shao really wanted to tell him, fake marriage, right? I can do it, absolutely no problem - can you?
"Don't look at me like that." Xuan Yunzi tried to keep his composure, "I know it's stupid to cover your ears and steal the bell, but right now, there's no better way to do it." ”
"Agreed." Xue Shao nodded approvingly, "It's expedient, unless you can come up with a better way than it in the future." ”
"My bottom line is that I don't want to see Wu Youning and others die at your hands. At the same time, you can't die at their hands. When Xuan Yunzi said this, he looked at him like a president taking the oath of office.
"Two tigers are fighting, who dares to fight?" Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Xuanyunzi, you don't have to design your life to be so painful and difficult. ”
"You're right, two tigers are fighting, and no one dares to persuade them. The battle between Xue Shao and the nephews of the Wu family has a long history. From the day Princess Taiping got married, you have almost formed a mortal enmity. In the future, it is also likely to become more and more intense. Xuan Yunzi said, "But Xuan Yunzi is not talented, and I really want to try it." Maybe I didn't get any good results, but at least, I tried! ”
"Why bother?" Xue Shao smiled bitterly.
"I told you, it's a sacrifice." Xuan Yunzi said, "Since it is a sacrifice, I will not have a way back, let alone the right to suffer from gains and losses - I am ready, what about you?" ”
"I won't marry you!" Xue Shao patted his knee and stood up, "I won't hide it from you, I also considered sacrificing the daughter of a martial artist; But the way of sacrifice is different, and the candidate can't be you! ”
"Why not?" Xuan Yunzi also stood up, and for the first time, she raised her voice in front of Xue Shao, almost like she was roaring.
"It's like, you don't want me to die." Xue Shao's answer was calm.
"You're going to care about me too?" Xuan Yunzi smiled, a little helpless, a little self-deprecating.
"I've always considered you my best friend, and of course I cared." Xue Shao's answer was impartial and can be called "zhongzheng".
"You're lying." Xuan Yunzi's eyes and language have become very sharp, almost aggressive.
"I didn't."
"You have." Xuan Yunzi said, "Actually, you want to say that your heart has already been filled by Princess Taiping alone, you can promise other women a marriage, a family or even a lifetime, but you can no longer give true love." You care about me, so you don't want me to be a resentful woman in this nominal marriage, you can't afford to be such a debt. Otherwise, you wouldn't have personally mourned Zhang Miao! ”
It was obvious that they were fighting against each other to stimulate the quarrel, but at this time, the two suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Duan Feng and Niu Ben in the Lu looked at each other, both dumbfounded.
"Actually, you don't want us to be friends in the future!" Xuan Yunzi said.
Xue Shao was completely silent.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Xuanyunzi, people are too smart, they will really be very tired." Xue Shao said.
"What is sacrifice?" Xuan Yunzi smiled, "I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of being tired?" ”
"You've made up your mind?"
"Absolute Decision!"
