Chapter 271: Ember (End)
A secret that had been buried in her heart for thirteen years was suddenly revealed, and Zeng Jiuniang felt as if her heart had stopped beating.
It wasn't until she was surrounded by a pair of strong arms and entered a room that she found out that this was her residence.
There was an oil lamp lit in the room, Liu Ji put her on the bed, but he sat on the side, looking at the furnishings in the room, and on the table in the middle, there was a Buddha statue, which was exactly the same as what he saw in the Buddha cave that day.
Seeing him staring at the Buddha statue, Zeng Jiuniang couldn't help but feel sad, the biggest pain of a mother is the loss of her child, when she resolutely broke with her husband and the country, it was this.
"I remember you saying that if he were still alive, he would be sixteen."
"My Labon, they killed my Laben, they killed my Laben." She kept repeating the phrase.
From low crying to crying bitterly, Zeng Jiuniang was reminded of a scene buried in the depths of her heart by his words, as if she had returned to the day when her heart was broken, the voice became louder and louder, and she no longer regained the elegance of the past, and in the end, it turned into a sharp shout, complaining about the injustice in her heart.
"Why, the person who died was not me, why didn't they even let go of such a young child, why, that person knew who it was, but he didn't do anything, why, no one could avenge him, why!"
Liu Ji didn't say anything, just patted her on the back lightly, and let her scream hysterically there, this may be the kind of hatred she has suppressed for more than 20 years and has never been able to let go, once released, it is enough to destroy everything, and the Tubo people probably never thought about where they lost at this time.
Don't underestimate a mother's vengeance.
Because she may spend ten years, twenty years, and the rest of her life doing only one thing, from the beginning it seemed impossible, to accumulate strength step by step, and when the right time comes, it will explode.
In real history, Feng Changqing stopped Da Bolu, his body, died under the city of He Bolao, Zeng Jiuniang did not have the opportunity to instigate the Tang army to go further, which led to another incident, that is, two years later, the rebellion of the Subi people.
In that rebellion, Chide Zuzan was killed by his two most favored courtiers, Mo Ling raised troops to make a rebellion, and was pacified by Dazaru Gong and others in one fell swoop, he himself died, his son took the rest of the clan to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo people could only help the underage Zi Xi Lang Lazan to the throne, and the vitality of the whole country was greatly damaged, if it wasn't for the dead fat man, the ending might be the same as today.
And the most wise monarch in the history of the Tibetan people, Trisong Detsen, the first thing he did when he became an adult was to personally lead his troops to completely conquer Zhangxiong!
Therefore, will the real her die on that day? Liu Ji looked at Zeng Jiuniang, who was crying in her arms, and couldn't help but guess.
The woman happily vented the hatred in her heart, until her throat was hoarse, her tears dried up, and the whole person fell weakly on his arm, the beautiful eyes were slightly red and swollen, and the snow-white cheeks were washed out of tears, and the green silk was scattered behind her head, looking extremely weak.
Liu Ji slowly attached herself and gently touched her slightly open red lips, the cold and tender touch made the woman's eyes widen, and the sudden manly breath made her breath disordered and her heart beating.
"Gorou, Gorou." The woman took the initiative to hug his waist, leaned back slightly, and the two bodies quickly warmed up and merged tightly together.
......
After a long time, the woman let out a low moan like a cry, and with an intoxicating blush on her face, she fell under him as if she were dead.
Liu Ji's face was drenched in sweat, although such exercise was beneficial to the body and mind, its hard work was also self-evident, he exhaled heavily, experiencing the pleasure after the release of passion.
"Jiuniang."
"Hmm." Hearing her voice, Liu Ji was relieved.
The woman replied faster than he expected, she lay sideways in Liu Ji's arms, her fiery body still carrying the afterglow of Fang Cai, almost making the latter react again.
"Gorou is so violent, no wonder it's ......"
Liu Ji touched her head and asked, "What's the wonder?" ”
"No wonder Elsilea said that her mother, died without regret."
"Ahem"
Liu Ji was almost choked by his own saliva, and the woman in her arms showed a narrow smile, just like the two of them before, where was there still half a point of talent.
"Why does she tell you everything?"
"Is that true?" Zeng Jiuniang raised her head with interest, with a curious expression.
"So, it's not what she said, it's what you guessed."
Liu Ji was annoyed, and the woman was amused by his expression, and couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, the two are like a little couple who have tasted the forbidden fruit, full of curiosity about each other, no matter what they say, even if it is nonsense, they are still unsatisfied.
After laughing for a while, Zeng Jiuniang said gratefully: "Wulang, thank you for everything. ”
"Needless to say, I'm doing it for myself."
"You don't understand, I, I didn't have good intentions before, I just want to use you to avenge me."
"I know, I'm just as vigilant, because there's no good or bad for no reason, we've just met, it's natural to think so, you don't have to blame yourself."
"You don't know, I'm a vicious woman who has killed a lot of people."
Zeng Jiuniang said leisurely: "After I lost my child, I hated everyone, and the only hope of living was revenge, for this reason, I never wanted to see that person again, I first wanted to escape from Tibet, I turned to a small country in the Western Regions, and they told my brother-in-law, the Heavenly Khan of Chang'an City, but he didn't make any statement, so I was desperate, so I came up with such a way." ”
"Fake death?"
"Yes, it was one of my maids who died, and at that time I lived in my own castle, and I was almost cut off from Ralis, and that man never came again, not even when he heard of my death."
"In order to hide my whereabouts, I killed all those who knew about it, and the current maids and attendants were all Han slaves who were later taken in, you know, you rescued them for their freedom, but I, just for my own selfishness, did not deserve to be cheered and supported at all."
"It's all gone."
Zeng Jiuniang shook her head: "I don't deserve you to be so good to me." ”
Liu Ji hugged her tightly, what Zeng Jiuniang said, he was not incomprehensible, a princess who had lost the support of the state, in that environment, she could only become ruthless in order to survive, whether it was to comply with Xi Dongzan or kill those who knew it, it was her only choice, women in this era really have extraordinary action.
In such an environment, if he is still as simple as a little white rabbit, that is the way to die, it is himself, why not as soon as he crosses over, he encounters a life-and-death struggle, and the souls under his hands are only afraid that there are more people he knows in later generations.
Liu Ji didn't want her to fall into such thinking, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Since you know that I am good to you, can you tell me if your real name is slave?"
Zeng Jiuniang was stunned, and then reacted.
"Did Gorou see my recital from the imperial court announcement?"
Where did Liu Ji see it, but of course he nodded at this time.
"They wrote it in my name, but it's my name, who is called Li Nunu."
Zeng Jiuniang was inexplicably a little shy, even more than the moment when the two of them were passionate, and her expression changed, which aroused Liu Ji's curiosity.
"Then can you tell me the name of Jiu Niangfang?"
"Gorou is so smart, you might as well guess it."
Liu Ji thought about it seriously, since she would say so, there must be a clue, Zeng Jiuniang, Zeng Jiuniang, since the other party is not surnamed Zeng, he understood all of a sudden.
"Your name is Zeng? No, how can any girl have this name, it must be Pearl Jane, Li Zhen is right? ”
Zeng Jiuniang looked at him stupidly, stroked his cheeks, and said softly: "Although it is not in the middle and not far away, it is a jade next to a Zeng word, which means jade face is like a pearl." ”
"My Jiu Niang, with a beautiful appearance, is really as famous as her name."
"The slave's face has long since withered, and only Goro can be so different."
"Then I'll call you a slave from now on."
Liu Ji unceremoniously announced, and the woman hummed like a gnat, acquiescing to his strength.
"Nunu, you grew up in the palace, you must know Princess Taiping, what is her name?"
"Nunu, the first emperor is your father-in-law, you must have seen Princess Anle, is she really so beautiful, won't she really be called 'Bao'er'."
"What does Emperor Wu look like, does he have a lot of faces? Shangguan Wan'er, how did you hang ......?"
......
"When the slave was admitted to the palace by his father-in-law, he was only four years old, and he stayed for less than five years in total, and then he married Fan Bang, where do I remember so many things, how can Gorou be more ...... than a woman"
Zeng Jiuniang was defeated by his curiosity and couldn't help but ask for mercy again and again.
"Who doesn't want to know the secrets of the palace." Liu Ji grinned and asked, "When Emperor Wu was back then, he really strangled your eldest aunt with his own hands?" ”
Zeng Jiuniang didn't answer him, she knew that the other party kept gagging, just to distract her attention and avoid falling into the pain of losing her son, this thoughtfulness moved her inexplicably, because she grew up so big, few people were sincere to her, even her biological mother, became blurred in her memory.
"The more exquisite the palace, the bloodier it is below, Daming Palace, every room, there are countless bones, Goro, it's better not to know."
Liu Ji realized that the source of all her disasters was the unique female emperor, so she kept her mouth shut.
"Okay, let's stop thinking about the past, from now on, Jiuniang can live her own life, even if you want to return to Chang'an, I will accompany you."
"No, there is a woman who scolds me, Tubo has raised me for more than 30 years, and I have been in Datang for less than 10 years, what do you think I should be? Now I can't even speak the official words of the Tang Dynasty, there is no one in the family, and going back is only sad, and the kindness of Wulang is accepted by the servant. ”
Liu Ji turned her face towards herself and put away the smile on her face.
"Jiu Niang, do you know why, we will inexplicably sympathize with each other, I didn't understand before, but now I finally know, because the two of us are outcasts who have lost everything, and we don't know how to live, now, not for anything else, only for ourselves, go to the fucking Tubo, the Tang Dynasty, go to the fucking Zanpu, the emperor, whoever dares to stop me is the king of heaven Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will also split him into the mortal world."
Zeng Jiuniang liked his domineering at the moment, and just spit out one word gently: "Okay." ”
The two bodies become one again.
Gathering is always short-lived, within a few days of hugging left and right, Liu Ji received an order from Feng Changqing from Luo Some City, the imperial court responsible for the affairs of Tubo deposed envoy, turned out to be the left minister and military department Shangshu Chen Xilie, the covenant reached, they will set off directly from the local area, with Chide Zuzan and others to the capital to offer prisoners.
And he had to go back to Qiuci first and escort Feng Changqing's family to rush over, which was the imperial court's backhand for Yifang Jiezhen, and even An Lushan, who was a smash hit, had to leave his eldest son An Qingzong in Chang'an as a hostage.
Liu Ji was a little hesitant about this, at present, he has incomparable influence in the countries of Zhangxiong and the Nibra, and when he returns to the Tang Dynasty, he is just a middle and lower-level junior officer, and he has to endure the dumping and exclusion of his colleagues, and do some boring struggles, which is not what he wants to see.
can be separated, and a little reluctant, because there is another soul in the heart, there is also a concern, such a thought, in the eyes of the two women, are inexplicably moved, this man, as Zeng Jiuniang said, is both ruthless and affectionate, making it difficult to give up.
"Goro, you are a person who does great things, you are destined to achieve something in this life, you will achieve a career, in addition to us, as well as those comrades, and your family, go, anywhere, it should not become a shackle that binds you, I will accompany your Elsilea, take care of her and your children, until you come back again."
Zeng Jiuniang's words made him pluck up the courage again, the other party was right, life can only be meaningful when facing challenges, and what he has to take on is not just one person's responsibility.
Feng Changqing, Tian Zhen, Li Siye, Duan Xiushi, Yang He, those uncles who love him and treat him like a nephew have more expectations for him and should not be disappointed.
And just like Yang Pre, Zhang Wuprice, Xu Guangjing, Kang Laosi and the soldiers of Qiankengshu, these friends and subordinates still have a duty, how can they easily give up.
He took the two women into his arms, imprinted them on their foreheads, and mounted his mount as they watched.
"Slave, Al, guard our home and wait for your men to return."
With that, with a wave of his hand, he took Zhang Wuyuan and the others and slowly rode forward, heading towards Anxi Town, and galloped away quickly.
Looking at the smoke and dust that gradually faded away until it disappeared, Elsilea couldn't hold back any longer, covered her mouth and cried bitterly: "He hasn't left a name for the child yet." ”
Zeng Jiuniang hugged her, her eyes still looking into the distance.
"Don't worry, he won't forget."
