Chapter 13: Loneliness
A moment later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a loud thunderclap, the rain in the air became heavier.
A drop of rain the size of a soybean, as if it had the strength of a thousand catties, smashed into this formidable palace.
If it weren't for this palace, which was built with the strength of the whole world and the capital of the whole country, perhaps such a heavy rain could have destroyed several of its buildings.
At this moment, the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers in the side hall has ended.
And Qin Weiming was standing in the corridor of the palace aisle with his hands in his hands, quietly staring at the pouring rain.
There was no expression on his resolute and righteous face.
The eyes that are firm and full of confidence on weekdays are not shining at the moment.
In fact, from his sad eyes, it can be seen that he did not get the answer he wanted in that side hall.
……….
A moment later.
Just when Qin Weiming had been standing in this aisle for a long time, he saw a little eunuch in blue who was trembling and speaking.
"Qin. . . Lord Qin.. The minion sends you. Go out... Let's get out of the palace".
The little eunuch did not raise his head.
He didn't dare to raise his head either.
In fact, the time he entered the palace was not too long, and he could only be regarded as a newcomer in this deep palace.
Moreover, before he purified himself, before he entered the palace gate, the impressions of Jinyiwei in his mind were all related to assassination, torture, or cruelty.
Therefore, when he saw the leader of the most mysterious and terrifying group of people in charge of the court, he was even more timid.
The little eunuch was standing behind Qin Weiming with his head bowed at this moment.
In fact, the purpose of his coming here was just to hold an umbrella for the leader of the Jinyi Guard.
After all, if Lord Qin was allowed to move forward in the rain, it would be considered a big mistake for him.
However, in response to the little eunuch's questioning, Qin Weiming didn't even reply.
Although out of the corner of his eye, he had already seen the yellow umbrella in the eunuch's hand, but he didn't want to take it.
Then, after he said, "I don't need an umbrella", he walked alone towards the outside of the palace in the frightened eyes of the little eunuch.
……………
In the air, the heavy rain like lead was slamming heavily into the open space covered with green bricks outside the side hall, and there was a 'crackling' sound of falling rain.
And a middle-aged man with long hair and a shawl, wearing a white shirt and green robe, was braving the heavy rain and slowly walking towards the outside of the palace.
He didn't use his body protection to resist the heavy rain.
Therefore, his waist-length long hair and the green robe and white shirt he wore were already soaked by the rain.
In fact, with his current cultivation, if he released the protective body qi, if he said that this rain, even if thunder fell in the sky, he would not be able to do it.
But he didn't.
Because, today, he wants to be drenched in this rain.
Because of today's rain, he was reminded of a lot, twenty years ago, the past.
As the saying goes, Yanyu Jiangnan, Yanyu Jiangnan.
The reason why the world is crowned with the name of smoke and rain is because the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is always hazy.
Therefore, today's rain made his thoughts return to Jiangnan 20 years ago.
Although, the turmoil in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago caused countless martial arts heroes to be buried in the rivers and lakes.
However, it is precisely because of that turmoil that some of the big names in the rivers and lakes have been achieved.
For example, him, Qin Weiming.
He was the one who stood out among countless cultivators twenty years ago.
Outstanding talent, suave and suave, both civil and military, the great disciple of Confucianism and martial arts, all these plus the most beautiful words of praise from cultivators, it is exactly what he was back then.
However, time has passed, the situation has changed, things are, people are not.
The young knight twenty years ago, twenty years later, became a member of the court.
In fact, he also knows it very well in his heart.
The people in the rivers and lakes at the moment, although they still respect his cultivation and his personality.
However, this respect is also mixed with many complex emotions.
After all, the people in the same way back then are now different from each other, and it is difficult to conspire with each other again.
After all, this dispute on the rivers and lakes now, on the surface, is because of his brocade clothes.
In fact, many things in the world are also very helpless.
In that year, countless heroes also went south to quell the rebellion and signed a truce with the southern sect.
But now, the turmoil in the south is back up.
It's just that Qin Weiming now can no longer fight side by side with the group of people back then.
So.
In recent days, he has always been restless and restless.
Because, he will always dream of many friends in his sleep, and he will never see them again.
In that troubled era twenty years ago, too many cultivators died.
And some of these people, like him, are fledgling gangsters. Some are the older generation of highly respected people.
He actually had an ominous premonition.
He always felt that in the current troubled times, there were many, many people, who would die.
That's why he put on this green robe that he wore when he walked the rivers and lakes.
That's why he used such a state to ask His Majesty the Emperor to go south.
Because, he doesn't want to leave regrets in his own heart that can never be made up.
In fact, with the official position, he can't hide his heart.
He wants to go to Jiangnan, and he wants to meet those people back then and fight side by side.
Although, more than ten years ago, in front of the man in the side hall, he made an oath never to set foot in the rivers and lakes again.
But when he thought that he might never see the friends again, he was not sure that he would be able to keep his oath.
He's actually lonely.
As early as more than ten years ago, when he chose to follow the man on the dragon chair, he was destined to embark on this lonely path.
However, although he is very lonely, at least the past in his heart, those people in his heart, are still alive.
So, in the future, even these people are dead. Then he is truly alone.
In fact, to this day, he is not clear whether the choice he made back then is still meaningful and whether it is truly righteous.
…….
Gradually.
Unconsciously, he had crossed the last threshold of the palace and walked out of this palace gate, which most people would not be able to enter and exit in their lives.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him walking alone on a street that no one cared about because of the heavy rain.
And this street seems to be like the road he has taken in the past ten years, the same loneliness, the same unattended.
At last.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he walked along this street, towards the gloomy and dim building that made countless people daunted.
