Chapter 428: I Have Decided Up
"A country needs a king after all, and if it doesn't have this backbone, it will naturally be chaotic. You can't die yet, be your king of Western Xia with peace of mind! Lu Xiaoyu said neither contemptifully nor respectfully to Li Yuanri.
Li Yuanri originally only thought that Lu Xiaoyu had an opinion about himself, but after listening to Lu Xiaoyu's nondescript words, he found that the two of them were unspeakably familiar, but they didn't know where they had seen them, they were two Southern Chu people who didn't regard themselves as dignified Western Xia kings.
"Father, are you alright, you just scared me to death. If it weren't for the two sons from Nan Chu who rescued you in time, I don't dare to imagine what Concubine Wan would have done, how she became what she is now. Princess Xiaoxiang saw that Li Yuanri came back safely, thanked Lu Xiaoyu, and nervously asked Li Yuanri if he was injured. It's just a few skin injuries from a fall, nothing serious. However, Lu Xiaoyu hung up the lottery, and the two cuts on his hands were very deep. Princess Xiaoxiang felt very sorry and wanted to bandage him personally, but in the end, Lu Xiaoyu asked Jiang Ge to bandage him in every possible way.
Here, Lu Xiaoyu slowly approached Concubine Wanniang, who had no hidden weapons on her body, sighed and said: "Alas, you are also unlucky, but you just ran into our two brothers, otherwise maybe people will really be killed by you." But I'm sorry now, I heard that my eldest brother was going to arrest you back. Lu Xiaoyu grabbed Concubine Wan, who kicked her to the ground, with her hands tied behind her back.
"Why did Concubine Wan do such a thing, did I treat you badly? You're going to have to choose this way to die with me. If I don't know that you and Yang Shi are secretly in love now, you know that you are the woman I care about the most in this world besides Xiaoxiang. Li Yuanri said regretfully.
Concubine Wan sneered and shook her head, "It's too late, and the reason why I did this is not because of you, the king." You've always wanted a prince, and every infertile concubine, no matter how favored she was before, can't escape being brutally murdered by you in the end. Although you have always claimed that these concubines died unexpectedly, do you think I don't know anything? My father-in-law told me all the good things you did. So I kept an eye on it and looked for someone to give birth to a son for you, and finally I chose Yang Shi, who was loyal to me. Although I just use him as a tool for the upper position, I have to say that he is indeed a good man who knows how many times better than you, he knows when to love me and when to love me, and you only know to do things with your own nature, have you considered my feelings? Concubine Wan asked.
Li Yuanri recalled that he was used to living an arrogant and lascivious life at that time, and regarded women as his playthings, and did not treat them as his lovers at all. But now that I've come to my senses, it's too late.
"Concubine Wan, it was I who failed you, you did all this for my pleasure, and the many things that are happening now are also the punishment I should receive in the first half of my life."
"No, this punishment is not enough, I have done something wrong, and I deserve to die. But the person who deserves to die the most in the entire Western Xia, I am not me, but you! It was because of your impulse that you were going to start a war with the Khitan and Southern Chu, resulting in countless casualties among the Western Xia soldiers and the displacement of many families. It is your looting of the people, and many families who originally lived happily and happily have lost their bright future because of you. And do you still remember that you listened to Wu Linren's nonsense on the border of Southern Chu at the beginning, and thought that all the people in the territory of Southern Chu were in the territory of our Western Xia. As a result, did you ask the prince Li Liangzuo to lead the troops to burn down their village and kill all their people? Did you ever regret it afterwards? Li Liangzuo went crazy because of this, have you forgotten? "Concubine Wan Niangniang knew that she had committed a mortal crime, and she had to say everything she wanted to say before she died.
When Lu Xiaoyu heard Concubine Wan talk about the last thing that killed the entire village, she knew that what she was talking about was the matter of Taoyuan Village, so she clenched her fists tightly and controlled her emotions so as not to hit Li Yuanri directly in the face. Lu Xiaoyu is not much better than Lu Xiaoyu, he has quietly shed tears and is silently wiping the corners of his clothes.
Li Yuanri was still blaming himself for hearing Concubine Wan say about the wrong things he had done, but when he saw the strange behavior of Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiaoyu next to him, he suddenly thought of something, could it be that they were the only two villagers left in Taoyuan Village? Because when the soldiers returned, they not only reported that Prince Li Liangzuo was frightened crazy, but also said that the person who scared Li Liangzuo escaped with some of the villagers. Maybe these two were the villagers at that time, and now they are here to seek revenge on themselves. But why save yourself again and again instead of locking yourself in a cabin? Li Yuanri couldn't figure it out.
"Don't say it, Concubine Wan, I know it's wrong, and I'll be responsible for the wrong things I did before. You may not know that I have been cultivating on this mountain during this time, I have looked down on a lot of things, what fame and fortune are all fleeting, what really matters is the people around me and do meaningful things, I regret that I understand this truth too slowly. Now that I think about it, I don't know how many people I killed before, maybe I won't be able to repay it in this life or even in the next life. Concubine Wan, I don't want to cure your sins, I just ask you to come back to me, how about we go to Qingxiu together, don't ask about this disturbing world, and talk about the rest of your life for those who have died. ”
Li Yuanri slowly approached Concubine Wan and wanted to untie her, but Concubine Wan suddenly raised her head and shouted at Li Yuanri, "Even if I die, I don't want to spend another day with you." You're going to grow old alone! Hahaha! Saying that, Concubine Wan bit her tongue and committed suicide.
Li Yuanri looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, "Why don't the women I love understand me, I really know that I am wrong, please forgive me!" I am willing to die to apologize! ”
Saying that, Li Yuanri rushed to the big bluestone next to him and prepared to hit the stone and die, but fortunately he was stopped by everyone and did not die.
"My lord, a family cannot be left without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. You can't help but think about it! Xixia still has to wait for the king to govern it! The brothers knelt in front of Li Yuanri and asked him to go out of the mountain to be the king.
Even the 200,000 troops on the opposite side saw Gonggong Chang and Concubine Wan Niangniang dying one after another, knowing that if they were against Li Yuanri at this time, they would really be suppressed as a chaotic army, and they all turned against each other and knelt down to meet Li Yuanri.
Li Yuanri saw that everyone insisted on being the king himself, shook his head and said: "This matter has been decided, you don't need to say more!" ”4610
