Chapter 88
Zong Zheng Wucai lay down in Qingjing Garden for half a day, and he had not been able to rest well for many days. At this moment, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to be asleep in a state of extreme exhaustion, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he fell into those unbearable pasts. The gray sky, the cold and bone-chilling fog on the river, the rapid flow of the river, with bursts of bright red churning, a five-year-old boy struggling in the water, at a glance shocking,
His dark eyes were desperate and helpless, as if he felt that life was passing away bit by bit, but there was nothing he could do, and the fear of death filled his young heart. A suffocating pain rolled in his chest, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the red river to see the cold world, silently questioning the cruel fate: "Why? ”
For as long as he can remember, he has experienced the cruelty of his blood relatives in his life as he can remember, and he has watched as the people who have protected him left behind by his mother have left one by one, and finally he is left alone to breathe with scars all over his body. In those dark nights when ice and snow were raging, he dragged his tired body forward slowly, and his steps brought out two lines of blood.
He can't die! Gotta Live! Only by living can we hope to become stronger! Only then can he rescue his mother, who is suffering for him, and only then can he know why his biological father will be ruthless to him! He was full of resentment, from that moment on, the heartache seemed to have eaten away at his heart, and the strong survival ** gave him the tenacious vitality of ordinary people, he didn't know how long he floated in the river, and finally waited until a pair of hands dragged him out of the water, who was gradually unconscious.
The five-year-long pursuit and escape has since ended, but the unhappiness brought to him by fate has just begun. Two years later, with the assistance of the master of the Tianqiu Gate, he formulated a plan to rescue his mother, but after entering the palace, he saw the scene of his mother buried in the fire. At that moment, hatred was like that monstrous fire, burning and spreading wantonly in his heart, as if it had the power to burn everything. From then on, the only thing that supported him to live was that bitter hatred.
In those cruel trainings with no humanity at all, in the tragic dark struggle, he learned to face everything with a smile, got used to wearing a mask, hid his truest self, and cultivated a cold and ruthless heart, he struggled step by step towards his destination, and kept everything in the world in his eyes, and no one could stop his revenge plan! It's just fate, and it can't be disobeyed in the end, he met her, the cool woman who was so calm that she didn't seem to care about everything in the world, the inevitable catastrophe in his life.
When did you start falling in love with her? He doesn't remember it anymore. Maybe it was the description of others who told her before meeting her, maybe it was an encounter by the Tianshui Lake, maybe it was in the bamboo forest that the guests in the eastern suburbs were looking for, maybe it was a reunion in the palace, maybe it was the gaze under the eaves......
Why did he fall in love with her, he didn't know, maybe it was because of a look that saw human nature through and clearly, or maybe it was the back of her crying alone in the heavy rain, the fragile and lonely soul that tried her best to hide was so similar to him that he couldn't help but ...... in his heart, it hurt. He admired her tenacity and intelligence, as well as her delicate and thoughtful plan to plan seamlessly, and in the year of being together day and night, in her indifferent but implicit sad smile, he soberly watched himself sink.
A person who has long lost the qualification of love is finally cocooned and pushed himself into the abyss of no return!
Green silk turns into snow, her hatred, no need words to describe! In the hundreds of nights in this year, as long as he closed his eyes, he could see the silver filaments flying in the air, instantly turned into a sharp sword and stabbed straight towards his heart, as if ten thousand arrows pierced the heart of the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, he slowly got up and sat up straight, it was already dark outside, tilted his head to look at the big red wedding dress that was flat and pressed inside, and the phoenix embroidered with gold filigree in the darkness seemed to be reborn and flew into the sky, like her. It's a pity that the clothes are there, but the people are no longer there. It all seemed so ironic, and he smiled miserably, without her, he would still have to live like the walking dead.
got up and went back to the imperial study, waiting for him was still the mountain of government affairs. He didn't look at it, and went straight into the inner room, the rhizome of the plant on the bed was transparent, and the black leaves of the bird slowly opened, and at this time of the day, the blood crow needed fresh blood to nourish and grow.
He raised his hand and was about to put his index finger into the dark flower and leaf hole, but suddenly paused, his eyes glancing slightly.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to bother anymore, she doesn't need this!" With a soft voice, a woman appeared behind the screen in the imperial study. The woman's willow eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is as white as snow, and her facial features are delicate and exquisite. She stepped in and bowed silently. There are only two kinds of people who can approach him without communication, one is a confidant, and the other is a person whose identity is not suitable for disclosure. Zongzheng was expressionless and turned his head to look at her. The woman is respectful and courteous, but neither humble nor arrogant. She stepped forward and sighed lightly: "Such a small blood crow is only enough to restore a person's blackness, but in order to quell the army riots and stop the rumors of the white demon, the Southern Emperor took the reverse snow, and at the cost of reducing his life span by ten years, he turned his head white. Therefore, she will not take the blood crow, and Your Majesty will stop hurting herself! “
Zongzheng's face changed suddenly, staring at the thing on the bed that he regarded as a treasure, and he lost his mind for a moment. After a while, he raised his hand again, and resolutely stretched his finger to the plant that could suck blood to survive.
"Your Majesty, you ...... Why are you bothered? The woman's expression was complicated, she looked at the man's pale side face, and sighed secretly.
The blood crow sucked enough blood, and the dark red leaves were lazy and loosened, revealing a strange luster. His face was calm, he only withdrew his hand, and the deep blood holes on his fingertips, as if he were gone, asked lightly: "Who spread the rumor of the white demon?" The woman frowned and said, "Sanqiu, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, is said to have sent out a number of secret letters from his mansion, which are stamped with your seal. ”
Zong Zheng's unscrupulous gaze suddenly changed, "My seal? The woman nodded with certainty, and he turned slowly, pacing a few steps behind his back, his face dark and unfathomable.
The room was very silent, and the pins could be heard, and after a while, he looked up and took a deep breath and exhaled it heavily, as if he had exhausted all his strength before he asked, "She...... How are you doing? The woman nodded lightly and replied, "She is very good and happy." ”
Zong Zheng lowered his eyes silently, hid the look at the bottom of his eyes, and said, "Then she...... Have you ever said when you came to me......... Avenge? The low and slow voice was like the sound of ice and snow pressing on the village branches, full of vicissitudes and sadness, silently suppressed, and a solid ice mist gathered in my heart. The woman shook her head slightly, as if infected by the man's sad breath, and a touch of sentimentality passed through her eyes.
Zong Zheng laughed at himself without any plan, and waved his hand, "You go, take care of the tea garden business for her, don't disappoint her." The woman's lips moved, trying to say something but she didn't say anything. She answered and saluted.
, Qi and Zongzheng stepped out of the screen without a plan, walked to the table and sat down, took out a seal made of transparent jasper from the drawer, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, his knuckles were blue and white, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his angular lips were not bloody.
, books, an emperor's seal, who else in this world can use it at will? My dearest queen mother, are you so impatient?
"Your Majesty, your subordinates have something important to do!" The voice of the guard Li Liang came from outside the door. It was his personal guard that he had personally selected and trained from among the pro-army.
Zong Zheng let go of his hand, put the seal back in its place, looked down, and said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
The young and calm guard came into the house, knelt down and worshipped: "Your Majesty, my subordinates found out that the Tianqiu Sect people were haunting the southwest border, and sent people to investigate, but they were obstructed by a dark force of unknown origin. ”
Southwest border, adjacent to Qiyun Kingdom. Zong Zheng frowned, his eyelids lifted slightly, but he didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.
Li Liangzhui said ashamedly: "My subordinates are incompetent, and I haven't found out where this dark force comes from. They are elusive, never confronting us, as if they know our every move, and each time, they just avoid our pursuit. ”
Zong Zheng's eyes sank, he didn't know that there were dark forces behind the Heavenly Enemy Gate! He propped up the table with one hand, stood up, and turned his back to the young guard, "Continue to investigate, as long as anyone related to the Heavenly Enemy Sect is killed, there will be no mercy." "This year's bait hunting, there are very few people from the Tianqiu Sect, and the few who stabbed down are the ones he hates the most.
"Yes!" Li Liang hurriedly responded, and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates also found that Ren Daotian, who is known as the 'Mandate of Heaven, has returned to the Lishan Spear House. ”
Zong Zheng's eyes froze, and through the gap in the screen, he looked at the blood black in the center of the big bed in the inner room, and a glimmer of light burned in his eyes. Lishan, adjacent to the Northern Dynasties, belongs to the territory of the Southern Dynasties.
Three days after the Southern Dynasty dismissed the dynasty, hundreds of officials thought about it behind closed doors.
Three days later, Sang Xiang and his party handed over their resignations, asking the emperor to allow them to return to their hometown, and the emperor agreed. There are many vacancies in the official positions in the DPRK and China, and many talented and ambitious people who were suppressed and excluded by Sang Xiang and his party have been exceptionally promoted, which makes them full of gratitude to this young and resolute emperor in their hearts, and they are bound to do their best to repay the emperor's kindness. After this incident, no one dared to form a party for personal gain, and everyone worked diligently, so far, the capital of the Southern Dynasties was a good scene.
At the request of Zongzheng without worry, Mantian has become a frequent visitor to the council hall, and is assisting the emperor in handling government affairs in a bright and bright manner. Advancing and retreating together is already an unsworn oath of the two of them. After the rumors, Zong Zheng Wu understood that instead of protecting her behind him, it was better to pull her to a position as high as him, so that others would not dare to make trouble with her, although some people would be dissatisfied at first, but as long as this period was passed, over time, everything became an unchangeable fact, and no one dared to object.
Zongzheng, who had approved the excerpts for a day, leaned back on the chair without worry, and what was placed in front of him was no longer just the government affairs that could never be handled, but also the medicinal soup and porridge that his beloved woman specially asked him to prepare for him. The faint smell of medicine and the strong aroma of delicious food linger throughout the room, making people's hearts warm when they smell it. The woman filled him a bowl, and when she saw him bow her head and drink it all, she smiled with satisfaction.
The Nine Emperor Princes sat across from them, a rare sense of peace. secretly said in his heart: Xiao Ke's dead girl is still a little useful, at least she can prepare medicinal food to help Seventh Brother regulate his body. Looking at the two people opposite, he suddenly felt a little envious, and he was truly relieved. Maybe Brother Qi was right in the first place, he could recruit new ones if the soldiers surrendered, and he could fight back if he lost the country, but if Liyue died, Brother Qi would not be happy even if he got the world.
Seeing that the Nine Emperors were stunned and looked at them in a daze, he smiled and said, "Old Jiu, do you want to drink?" I'll ask Kerr to make one for you to deliver too. ”
"Okay", he agreed with bright eyes, and then seemed to remember something, and hurriedly waved his hand again: "Forget it, if that dead girl knows that it was done for me, maybe she will put some poison into it." ”
Laughing all over the sky, it's strange to say, Ke'er is good to everyone, but he loves to go against Lao Jiu, these two people are really a pair of enemies! She took the dishes and chopsticks, and called for someone to come in and withdraw.
When the medicinal diet runs out, it's time to get down to business.
Zong Zheng leaned lazily on the back of his chair, and his voice was slightly deep, "The news of Ren Daotian's return to Lishan has spread so quickly, in just a few days, it is already known to the world!" ”
The Nine Emperors said: "I don't know what's going on, it's only been two days since we got the news, and it's all spread out, as if someone deliberately spread it." ”
Mantian Dai frowned slightly, and sighed: "Since someone once predicted that those who want to win the world must first get Xuan and Ren." All the countries of the world have been looking for these two people for many years, and now they know that they have returned to Lishan, and we are in the southern flail, I am afraid that we will not be at peace. ”
Zong Zheng's worry-free phoenix eyes were slightly raised, his thin lips were gently pursed, and his hands were casually on the armrests of the chair, looking a little tired.
The Nine Emperor Princes said, "Are they really that powerful?" Could it be a rumor? He was still skeptical. In his heart, the most powerful person is opposite him, and no one else is nothing.
Man Tian shook his head, judging from the recent analysis of the information gathered from various places about these important people, the rumors were unlikely. She turned her head to look at the man beside her and asked, "Worry-free, what do you think?" ”
Zong Zheng smiled without worrying: "Aren't you collecting their information these days? Tell us what you think.
Man Tian stood up, thought about it, and said, "I don't think this matter is necessarily groundless. Ren Daotian is familiar with astronomy and geography, and has traveled all over the world for many years! "I heard that he had a thick field in his hand, which was different from the simple battle area in the army, but depicted every terrain suitable for battle, which recorded the advantages and disadvantages of the terrain in detail, with astronomical weather, the number of soldiers and horses, and the quickest way to win. This alone is enough to make the kings of the world fearful. She paused, and when she saw Zong Zheng looking over with appreciation, she smiled slightly, and said: "And Xuan Ketian", from the martial arts attainments of the unphased son and him. The 7,000 people who practiced could see that his master Xuan Jian Tian was extraordinary, and the momentum of the legendary sword sweeping away thousands of armies was definitely true, which was not comparable to ordinary martial arts people. What's more, it is rumored that this person is proficient in military strategy and formations, and must be a rare general, our dynasty has 300,000 troops, and there are very few available and outstanding generals, except for General Luo Zhi, who is about to return to the dynasty, there is no one who can be worthy of a big responsibility, but if it comes to the commander of the three armies, these two people are still a little worse. ”
The Nine Emperors stared, stunned for a moment. Seeing that she was analytical, he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, and said with both admiration and resentment: "I just knew, it turns out that you are very politically talented!" However, that ...... Seventh sister-in-law, why not me? Anyway, I am also the prince who holds the power of the army, and I have also read the book of war! Even if you are not the commander of the three armed forces, you have to be a general, right? Yes? ”
Seeing him with a bitter face and an abandoned look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then count you again." "Lao Jiu's martial arts are not bad, people look confused, but they are actually very smart, but they just need to be experienced.
As soon as the Nine Emperor Princes saw the recognition, they immediately pursed their lips and smiled, "According to what you say, both of them are so powerful, so should we send someone to invite them down the mountain quickly, so as not to be preempted." ”
stared at the man who was still in a lazy posture, but his eyes were extremely deep, like a deep pool, and he couldn't see the bottom. Zong Zhengwu's face was calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Don't worry." Transferred five cadres from Wuyin Building to the foot of Lishan Mountain, this matter ...... Let the phaseless do it. ”
"Oh." The Nine Emperors hurriedly responded,
Zong Zheng had a smile on the corner of his thin lips, raised his eyes with appreciation, looked at the woman in front of him, and said slowly: "Continue the topic just now, continue." ”
Man Tian nodded and said: "Wuxiangzi is strong in martial arts, and he also has the ability to lead the army, but he has a heavier Jianghu qi on his body, and he lacks a general's style." And commanding the three armies requires a certain degree of prestige and prestige, which can be regarded as in line with Luo Zhi, who returned from a great victory. But although Luo Zhi is brave and good at fighting, he is a rare general, but he is arrogant and uninhibited by nature, has no concept of family and country, and it is difficult to be truly loyal to the country and the emperor. This time the rumor was conveyed to the border pass, and after he was drunk, he said that 'the country has a demon, and the king is not a king's nonsense, which shows that this person's heart is undecided. If you want to continue to use this person, you have to subdue his heart. ”
Zong Zheng's eyes lit up, "In your opinion, how to subdue this person?" ”
"It's not hard to subdue him,... Don't worry, this person, you might as well leave it to me to deal with. Heard...... The thing he looks down on most in his life is women", Man Tian smiled lightly, and said: "Three days later, it will be the day when the army will return to the court, and a banquet will be held during the day six days later to reward the meritorious soldiers, and I will attend with you." ”
A woman says she wants to subdue a man who looks down on women the most? Fun and fun! The Nine Emperors suddenly became interested, leaned forward on the table, blinked his eyes and asked curiously, "Seventh sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Do you need me to help you? ”
Mantian Dai's eyebrows were raised lightly, her eyes were full of light, she smiled shallowly, and did not answer. Zong Zheng Wuwu stretched out his hand to her, pulled her to sit down beside her, and only said the word "good".
Mantian said again: "Lao Jiu, did the three things you secretly buy last time go well?" ”
The Nine Emperors said, "Oh, that, the charcoal is much better, and there is not much sulfur and saltpeter...... Seventh sister-in-law, what do you want these things for? ”
Mantian frowned and said, "If you continue to buy, you can collect as much as you want." As for the usefulness, we will know when the time comes. She also expected that the amount of sulfur and saltpeter would not be too much, so she had to try to do it first.
After the Nine Emperor Princes left, they said, "Don't worry, do you know what these things are for?" ”
Zongzheng was stunned slightly, could it be that he should know? He thought for a moment, and his eyes moved, "Is it something from that world?" ”
Man Tian nodded, it seems that Yun Guifei has never caught gunpowder from them, if she has mentioned it, presumably the former Emperor Lin Tian has already conquered the world. She thought, maybe Yun Guifei is kind by nature, and she doesn't want to promote people's greed because of this, so as not to cause chaos in the world and ruin lives. But now the situation is different, and the war is constantly raging. If they want to take revenge and live a peaceful and peaceful life, there is no other way but to calm the world.
She took the man's hand and looked into his eyes, as if she was exploring something from his eyes, and her expression was a little solemn.
Zong Zheng Wuwu rubbed his hand on her white fingertips and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Man Tian lowered his eyes slightly, and his face was a little desolate, "Don't worry, I don't know if it's right to do this, I just want to do my part to help you, I want to end such an unpeaceful day as soon as possible, and I also want to return the world to peace as soon as possible." I'm not sure how powerful those things will be, but I ...... to bring things that don't belong to this world to this world without permission, causing misery to all living beings She couldn't speak, her heart felt like she was blocked by something, and she was uncomfortably tight. The longer the war lasts, the more miserable the people's livelihood becomes. There's nothing wrong with hoping she does.
Zong Zheng's eyes moved, and he slapped the woman's face with some distress, after experiencing so much injury, his Aman is still kind after all! He hugged her slightly cool body into his arms and sighed, "No matter what weapon it is, if it makes you so uneasy, then don't want it." In this way, I can also fight the world for you, so that you can live a peaceful and happy life. ”
Mantian shook her head in his arms, she would not regret what had been decided. What the bronze chariot equipped with a rocket bow and crossbow will bring to this world, she really doesn't dare to say now.
Phoenix Nirvana, the soul of women
