Chapter Ninety-Eight: Knowing the Result, Why Bother?
Qing Ning raised his eyes and looked at him, after many years, this person has really not changed at all, whether it is his tone or face or his heart.
"Qingning, I have prepared your favorite meal for you, there are four treasures of white chop, Chuyun assortment, papaya ice tray, I see that you have lost a lot of weight recently, so I made it to make up for you." Ji Yang had a considerate look when he spoke, which made people feel at ease, if he hadn't been deceived by her once, Qing Ning would really believe it at this time.
"It's been six years! You have a really good memory. Qing Ning followed him.
"I remember everything I was with you, and the golden house you said that day, I also collected the world's treasures to build one, and I don't know if you like it or not."
"Remember, remember......" Qing Ning muttered in his mouth, took two steps forward by himself, and suddenly looked back at him, his eyes were so cold that he was terrible, and said in a cold tone: "Then do you remember, on the city wall, you told me to open the city gate and let your army take a shortcut to Daibei, but my city was broken, and there were heavy casualties, do you remember that you said that thousands of miles of rivers and mountains can't reach one me, but you mercilessly cut me under the horse, bullying me in every way, do you still remember, about to return me to the barracks, your soldiers added fists and feet to me, and forced Beichen to ask for information." Jiyang, do you remember all this? ”
Jiyang was stunned by his words, it turned out that his actions had caused so much harm to her, but ......
Ji Yang took a step forward, got a little closer, and said with guilt in his eyes: "Qing Ning, so I've been making up for it all these years, you are an official in Tianche, do you know how many times I have helped you block Daibei's interception?" Also, I don't love the concubines in this palace, just because they have more or less your shadow on them, I remember every hobby of yours, can't you give me another chance? ”
"Opportunity" Qing Ning said as if laughing at herself: "I once believed in you, but you destroyed this trust with your own hands." ”
"Qingning, I ......"
"Okay" Qing Ning stopped looking at him, looked down at his sleeves, the breeze blew, and the corners of the wide-sleeved clothes bent a beautiful arc with the wind from time to time, and said for a long time: "It's all in the past, what to do with it." ”
Ji Yang looked at Qing Ning like this, thinking that she had no intention of pursuing his past mistakes, but she didn't know that what the woman had put down in her heart was a whole piece of the past.
"Qing Ning" Ji Yang showed a smile with some sunshine and continued: "Do you want to ...... with me"
"What about Mu Ling?" Qing Ning didn't hold on to the past, after all, people live in the present, and they always have to look forward, so she opened her mouth to ask this question that she wanted to ask him when she first approached him.
This question actually made Ji Yang's smile like spring light condense for a moment, and then shatter like an ice flower until it completely disappeared.
Maybe he didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to believe that this woman didn't have any place in his heart at the moment, he continued to smile as if he hadn't heard it: "Qing Ning, do you think the golden house I made for you is okay?" And ......"
Qing Ning knew that he would deliberately divert the topic and continue to ask, "My question is, what about Mu Ling?" Where did you put the people I love the most? ”
Qing Ning raised her eyes and stared at him, not letting him have any room for perfunctory, she knew this person too well, so she tried her best to express what she meant.
"Do you have to see him?" Ji Yang looked at Qing Ning, his eyes were a little subtle and imperceptible, but it was a layer of frost for this warm and cold early spring.
"Okay" Jiyang said: "Then I'll take you to see him, but you want to promise me to have a good meal with me after I see him?" ”
"Jiyang, what are you going to negotiate with me?" Qing Ning looked at him, what qualifications did this most resolute person who betrayed her betray have to let her accompany him to have another meal.
"Take it, Emperor Tianche's life, is it okay?" Ji Yang still has a gentle tone and a flat voice, but his heart is overturned, when is he sad enough to use another man's life to keep his beloved woman by his side.
But many years ago, after all, he was negative, as long as she could stay with him, he didn't want to care so much.
Qing Ning bit her lips tightly, this man actually threatened her with Mu Ling's life: "Okay." ”
Seeing that Qing Ning agreed, Ji Yang happily took two steps forward, gently held Qing Ning's hand, and said as he walked forward: "I don't know if your taste has changed over the years, if there is anything else you want to eat......
"You know that the more you do this, the more you won't be able to keep me, so why bother?" Qing Ning withdrew his hand from his hand, but the steps under his feet did not stop, and continued to move forward.
This sentence was like a hammer, smashing the only remaining hope in Ji Yang's heart.
His steps suddenly paused in the gap that he didn't even notice, and then he took another step forward, because of his slender legs, the big step was not noticed, and he skillfully guarded the last bit of her pride.
They came all the way to a palace, which was magnificent, but because of the weeds all over the ground, it made people feel cold and cold.
Walking all the way inside, inside the main hall was a room full of torture instruments, and Mu Ling was chained to his limbs by four chains as thick as tree trunks, although there were no skin injuries on his body, but that pale face also made Qing Ning's heart stir together.
She quickened her steps forward, raised her trembling hand to hold Mu Ling's face, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak, Mu Ling's eyes moved slightly, and her expression suddenly smiled when she looked at the person who came.
After such a simple smile, he suddenly twisted his eyebrows again and said, "Qing Ning, you shouldn't have come, go." ”
"Mu Ling" Qing Ning screamed with trembling lips, her eyes gradually flushed with tears, and asked, "How are you?" ”
"I'm fine, you go! Go find Li Yuanhe, let's go" Mu Ling's brows suddenly wrinkled again in the continuous urging, and then he bit his lips tightly, so that the lips that were so pale that they were the same color as his face were once again stained red by blood.
Every bone in the body is like thousands of ants gnawing at it, and the pain of eating away at the bones is simply a torturous life that is worse than death.
"Mu Ling" Qing Ning's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes were full of nervousness, and then he turned his head to look at Ji Yang, who was standing behind him, and shouted: "What did you do to him, the antidote?" ”
"What did I do to him? I just want you to see a person clearly, Qing Ning, I'm thinking about you everywhere. Ji Yang stared at Mu Ling viciously, took out the white jade hole flute on his waist, and blew it.
The voice was ethereal and soft, as if a pair of invisible hands could touch people's hearts at any time, and before Qing Ning could react, Mu Ling suddenly slammed her head into her chest with a force.
The force of the collision was very strong, forcing Qing Ning to take two steps back, and a bloody mark gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth, Qing Ning did not stand firm and staggered to the ground.
Raising his eyes to look at Mu Ling at this time, his eyes were red and he stared at her and said viciously: "If you weren't still a little useful, do you think I would keep you?" ”
"Mu Ling, you, what's wrong with you?" Qing Ning looked at Mu Ling puzzled, was he suddenly crazy because he was controlled by the sound of the flute?
"If it weren't for you, how could I have been in danger so many times, shouldn't you have used your life to save me out?" The words on Mu Ling's lips did not stop, but under that look was obviously a painful struggle mixed with heartache and guilt.
No, if she wants to save Mu Ling, she must find a way.
"Haha" Qing Ning suddenly laughed, at first there was a voice and then gradually laughed to the point of losing his voice, the smile was full of desolate mockery, the woman's thin body with such a smile was like the leaves falling on an autumn day.
It's so clear that it's pitiful.
"It turns out that you will betray me too." She spoke quietly, and got up with that desolate smile.
