Chapter 55 [Human Nature] (II)
Although Ying Lian didn't say who he was going to see, I had already guessed that person must be Ji Mu, the king of the Northern Desert. After finishing www.biquge.info dinner, under the guidance of Ying Lian, I came to the room where Ji Mu lived, and Ying Lian pointed to the door and said softly, "I won't disturb you." ”
I whispered, "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to fulfill your wishes." ”
I took a deep breath to calm myself and pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Ji Mu, the king of the Northern Desert, sat quietly on the ground, from the moment I walked into the room, his eyes never left my face, his eyes were deep and full of wisdom, and his eyes revealed the vicissitudes and loneliness that could not be concealed, because of my appearance, a trace of excitement gradually emerged: "Sit!" He gestured across from him.
I nodded, came to sit down opposite him, and in all fairness, I didn't have any good feelings for Ji Mu, not only because I didn't have any flesh and blood relationship with him in fact, but also because he used Lu Yihong's feelings despicably, so that a woman who loved him so much endured humiliation for him and was exiled for twenty years.
"I can see you hate me!" Ji Mu's first sentence actually began like this.
I looked at him with some astonishment, then nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”
Ji Mu laughed: "You are very honest, no matter how much you hate me, there is one fact that you can't deny. ”
I smiled disdainfully, I could certainly deny that I had nothing to do with the sinister and shameless guy in front of me.
Ji Mu lowered his voice and said, "My life will not be long!" ”
I was shocked in my heart, and I raised my head to look at him, but I saw that Ji Mu's eyes were full of sincerity, and his words did not look like a lie.
Ji Mu said: "You are the first to know about this, I hope and the only one, I admit that I am sorry for your mother and son, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it in this life, I only hope that you can get out of danger safely." ”
I whispered, "We're in a state of embarrassment right now, and I'm afraid it's not that easy to escape." ”
Ji Mu said: "Ying Lian is the ninth princess of the Qin Kingdom, this woman wants to get the secret of the place where the king of Qin buried the treasure from me, and I have promised her." ”
It was only then that I realized what I wanted.
Ji Mu said: "When Shang Tang died in the country, the King of Xuan once left a huge treasure, and the secret of opening this treasure was hidden in a jade pendant, and I stumbled upon this secret when I was a guest under Ye Gong. ”
"So you betrayed my mother and asked her to carry the black cauldron for you for twenty years?" I asked, fussy.
Ji Mu smiled indifferently: "The matter has passed, don't mention it again!" ”
"You don't have to mention it, but I can't forget the harm you did to my mother!"
Ji Mu's eyes showed a little sourness, a little loss, but there was no guilt: "If I were given a chance to choose from scratch, I would still do that, because I am a man, I must know how to choose, for my wishes, someone will inevitably sacrifice for this!" ”
I glared at Ji Mu, but I couldn't say a reason to refute his words.
Ji Mu whispered: "I thought that I had lost all hopes, my dreams, my ambitions, all of them would be reduced to dust along with my body, but I didn't expect that God would still give me such a gift. Tears of emotion welled up in his eyes.
I secretly said in my heart: "I'm afraid that you don't know that your biological son has died a long time ago, God is not fair to you!" ”
Ji Mu said: "My life has been tortuous, several ups and downs, the only thing that has not changed is the belief in conquering the world and dominating the country, but unfortunately I believe in others too much, and I was finally victimized." He grabbed my shoulders and said in a low voice, "I have an incurable disease, and I am afraid that the days left are numbered, and you are the most important thing in this world for me." ”
His affectionate confession did not get any emotion from me, what really made me care about Lu Yihong's life and death. I whispered, "Even if you hand over any treasure, can you guarantee that Winmercy will be able to spare us?" ”
Ji Mu shook his head slowly: "But if I don't hand it over, I'm afraid that we will be killed by her now." ”
He whispered in my ear: "There are three treasures left by the king, I will give one of them to her, you remember, if you can escape alive, you must go to the Duobao Bridge in Luoyi, I will hide one of the maps in the northern piers, and the other map will be placed by me in the Puxu Racecourse on the outskirts of Xianyang......"
I interrupted him suddenly: "If I were an impostor sent by Win Pity, wouldn't all your hard work be in vain?" ”
Ji Mu shook his head and said, "I can't be mistaken, my blood flows in your body, and from your gaze I see my past and the continuation of my life." ”
He grabbed my arm excitedly and said in a low voice, "I've already met your mother!" ”
I was shocked: "Is she really here?" ”
Ji Mu shook his head again: "I don't know, I really don't know, I believe that this ninth princess will not leave her here and wait for you to rescue." He paused and said, "If I misread you, I still won't regret it, because ...... I don't have any other options......"
I nodded slowly and whispered, "Do we still have a chance to escape?" "Putting aside my personal perception of Ji Mu, now we are on the same side after all.
Ji Mu smiled bitterly: "There is no chance, she is not easy to deal with." ”
There was a soft knock on the door, and a pleasant voice came from outside: "You two should have talked enough, can I come in?" ”
Ji Mu gave me a look, then smiled and said, "Ninth Princess, please come in!" ”
Ying Lian Tingting walked in, her beautiful eyes fell on me, and she said with a smile: "What? ”
I sighed deliberately and said, "What else, I'm ready to listen to you obediently." ”
Ying Lian said to Ji Mu: "Now that you see your son, you should rest assured, are you ready to fulfill what you promised me?" ”
Ji Mu nodded and said, "I will never go back on what I said, you must not forget what you promised me." ”
Win pity smiled like a flower: "Okay, let's set off today, and Lu Gongzi will be free immediately." ”
I shouted, "What about my mother? ”
"I'll take you to her when I get back!" Ying Lian's slender hand stretched out to Ji Mu: "Always let me see your sincerity." ”
Ji Mu smiled indifferently: "In the old mansion of Ye Gong in the north of the city, under the twelfth wooden pillar on the left side of the second-story porch, you can dig up a treasure, and after finding it, you will believe in my sincerity." ”
Ying Lian nodded slightly, and she said softly: "Master Lu, why don't you accompany me for a trip?" ”
I have already been aroused by the events that have happened one after another, could it be that Ji Mu buried the location of the other treasure in Ye Gong's old mansion? Ying Lian asked me to go with me, even though she knew that she was using me as a weight to blackmail Ji Mu.
The carriage moved slowly in the rain, and Ying Lian and I sat in the car, and from the time we went out, we didn't talk at all, we were thinking about each other's thoughts.
Ying Lian was the first to break the silence: "Do you hate me?" ”
I shook my head: "After this is over, we will go our separate ways, and we may never see each other again in this life and this life, so what kind of hatred can we talk about?" ”
Ying Pian Chu said pitifully: "Can you really forget me completely?" ”
I sighed and said, "You're too smart, too scheming, I'm like a complete fool in front of you, no man likes this feeling." ”
Ying Lian smiled: "But I always think you are much smarter than me." ”
I smiled wryly: "It's hard for a girl like you to find her in-laws. ”
Ying Lian whispered: "Don't worry, even if the men in the world die, I won't look for you!" ”
I laughed and said, "You have such a thought, I have never thought of such a thing!" ”
Ying Lian blushed at my words, but fortunately the carriage had arrived at its destination at this time, and she was the first to get out of the carriage, and I followed closely to get out of the carriage, only to find that the gate of the dilapidated old mansion had been opened, and Tulie and three samurai were waiting in front of the door.
At this time, the wind and rain had stopped, and Ying Lian said to Tu Lie: "You wait here, and Lu Gongzi and I will go in." ”
"Princess......" Tulie said worriedly.
Ying Lian smiled: "Don't worry, Lu Gongzi is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he should be trusted." She looked at me with deep meaning and walked with me into the courtyard.
This old mansion of Ye Gong has been abandoned for a long time, and the courtyard is full of detached grass, so he said pitifully: "All the mansions of Ye Gong in Yingdu have been bought by me, and the wind source you saw before is also one of Ye Gong's old mansions. ”
I said sarcastically, "It seems that you are very well prepared." ”
Ying Lian smiled: "I, a weak woman, must think clearly before doing anything. ”
I nodded sympathetically, her mind was indeed meticulous, and it could be seen from the fact that she didn't want her to know this secret, and she was sure that I didn't dare to make excessive moves against her, because the lives of Lu Yihong and my subordinates were in her hands.
According to Ji Mu's guidance just now, we came to the twelfth pillar, and Ying Lian pointed to the mossy brick platform and said, "Let's do it!" ”
I was so angry and amused that I took the hammer and chisel she handed me, and began to carefully pry open the bricks.
Ying Lian said softly: "Be careful, if you knock down the roof of the porch, I'm afraid it will crush us underneath." ”
I knew what she really cared about was what was inside, and said with a smile: "That's better, you can't be in the same bed when you're alive, and you can be in the same hole when you're dead, which is also a fate." ”
"Phew!" Win pity puffed up.
I successfully pried open the green brick, and sure enough, I saw a hole in it, and I came over and said in surprise: "There is indeed a mystery inside." Her slender hand wanted to reach in.
I deliberately threatened her, "Maybe it's a snake in there, maybe a bunch of rats......"
"Ahh Ying Lian's hand that had just reached out was so frightened that she immediately retracted, her pretty face was full of fear, I didn't expect her to be afraid of mice, and I was secretly proud to see her frightened appearance.
Ying Lian pushed my arm: "Reach in and see if there's anything!" ”
Damn, it's vicious enough, let me explore the way. I shook my head helplessly, my arm poked into the hole, groped for a while, felt a ball of oilcloth from it, pulled it out hard, grabbed it in surprise, unfolded the oilcloth package, but saw that it was still wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth that had already been dirty, and gently pulled, the cotton cloth had rotted, and a round thing rolled out of it, I thought it was a human head, but when I looked closely, I found that the part without dust revealed a crystal clear blue light, which should be jade!
Ying Lian picked up the piece of jade, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise and abnormal light, and she picked up the oilcloth and carefully folded it in her hand.
I stood up: "Hey, your wish has been fulfilled, is it time to fulfill what you promised me?" ”
Ying Lian smiled slightly, and was about to speak.
I suddenly noticed the shadow of the tree behind me, and from the shade of the tree, two white lights shot like lightning towards the back of the heart, and because Ying Lian had his back to the tree, he couldn't see what was going on behind him.
In my hurry, I didn't think much about it, I pushed Ying Lian to the right, the hammer in my hand continued to hit the white light, a sharp crossbow arrow was knocked away by me in the air, and the other crossbow arrow was off the target, but it still shot on my right leg, the sharp pain made my right knee weak, and my body staggered and almost fell to the ground.
A black figure jumped out of the shade of the tree like lightning chasing the wind, and Ying Lian had fled out the door.
I struggled to leave, but the assassin came faster, the cold blade of his sword pressed against my chest.
At this time, Tulie and the samurai who heard the movement all rushed in, and the guards were in front of Ying Lian.
The blade of the sword in the back of the heart emitted a compelling chill, I seemed to smell the smell of death, and at the same time, a faint fragrance also wafted into my nose, this fragrance came from the girl's body fragrance, and it was still a little familiar to me, and a cold voice sounded in my ears: "Hand over He's Bi, or I will let him die on the spot." ”
