Chapter 21: Man's Ambition
Reva Temple
Since Wen Zhao broke his leg, Wen Yong has not stepped into this place again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Wen Zhao could have been an innocent child, but because of himself, he was involved in the battle for imperial power, and he couldn't even stand up again.
Wen Yong didn't know how to face Wen Zhao and Wen Xi.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Yong boldly stepped into the Luhua Palace.
The autumn breeze was bleak, the fallen leaves in the garden were swirling on the ground and the butterflies were dancing with the dead leaves, Wen Zhao sat alone on the soft bowl and quietly watched the cold silence in front of him.
Wen Yong stepped forward and called softly, "Brother Zhao." β
Wen Zhao turned his head and smiled on his pale face: "Brother Huang, you are here." β
Sitting alone in such a bleak environment, Wen Yong was not worried about Wen Zhao's state of mind, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's cold here, go back." β
Wen Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't worry about me. This depression is just a symptom, it is the trees that are accumulating strength to bear fruit. β
"Brother Zhao, you?"
Wen Yong was stunned.
Wen Zhao smiled coldly: "Wen Hu is powerful, how can you do it if you want to bring him down without paying the price." It's okay to lose my legs, as long as I have one life left, I have a chance to get it back from the old thief! β
Wen Yong was silent, he thought that Wen Zhao, who had lost his legs, would become decadent, but now it seems that he obviously underestimated Wen Zhao, or rather, the royal children who survived the bloody conspiracy in this era, the naΓ―ve and impulsive Wen Zhao is dead, and what will live will be a cold and poisonous snake for revenge, until one day Wen Hu is devoured or dies himself.
"It was I who begged my mother to kill all the palace people, so Wen Hu only knew that I was trying to save Yang Xuan. My resentment towards him is known to the whole world, and without definite evidence, Wen Hu will only suspect the imperial brother, and will not really do anything to the imperial brother, so that we have room to turn around. β
Wen Zhao told a truth that shocked Wen Yong, he was only a child of more than ten years old, and the coldness of the royal family had begun to flow in his blood.
Perhaps this era is a mistake, for the royal family, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace are just their own belongings, and they can be discarded at any time if necessary.
Wen Zhao looked up at the sky, his young brows furrowed slightly, "I've thought a lot in the past few days, Brother Huang, you're right, now Wen Hu is powerful, the biggest obstacle to moving him is the military power in his hands, if the military power is not removed for a day, even if he kills him, Da Zhou will fall into endless turmoil." β
Wen Yong comforted: "Don't worry, I'll find a way." β
Wen Zhao turned his head and suddenly asked very coldly: "Brother Huang, how do you say you can make an army hate its commander?" β
Wen Yong looked at Wen Zhao with some puzzlement, only to see him say coldly: "It's a failure!" Only constant defeats can make a commander lose all prestige! The army can endure the harshness of the generals, but it can't stand the incompetence of the generals, Wen Hu has accumulated a huge prestige in his life, and the military power in his hands has been achieved, but the military power is also his weakness! β
Wen Hu's power comes from his military power, and what maintains his military power is the prestige he has accumulated in half his life, as long as his prestige in the army is broken, then Wen Hu will lose his foundation.
Wen Yong sighed: "Wen Hu has fought all his life, how easy is it to want him to be defeated?" β
Wen Zhao smiled contemptuously: "Why is the imperial brother more pessimistic than me?" Since ancient times, generals will inevitably die in battle, and I don't believe that the old thief can be undefeated in his life! β
β¦β¦
One day from now is Wen Yong's wedding, and the whole country is ready to celebrate the emperor's wedding.
After dealing with some trivial government affairs, Wen Yong left the imperial study, turned his head and said to Fu'an, who was following behind: "You stay here." β
Fu'an was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly agreed. If you don't agree, you can't do it, after a long time of trying, Fu'an will be beaten by Wen Yong every time he keeps up, and then I don't know which corner he was thrown into, and now he has a conditioned reflex, as long as Wen Yong doesn't let him follow, Fu'an can only obediently stay in place.
After going back and forth between several palaces in the palace, and after making sure that no one was following, Wen Yong secretly turned into a cold palace complex.
The palace is huge, and the Zhou State has just been established not long ago, so naturally there are many palaces that have not been put into use, and these palaces are said to be the cold palaces of the concubines who made mistakes in the previous dynasty, and they are angry and often haunted, so there are no guards nearby.
It didn't take long for Wen Yong to come to the courtyard of the Ice Palace, and plunged headlong into the dense and beautiful bushes.
Wen Yong, who was far away, saw a white-shirted silhouette standing there alone on the high platform of the Ice Hall sitting on the water's edge, looking into the distance.
When Wen Yong appeared in the field of vision of Lian Ji, the excitement on Lian Ji's face was overflowing, and she rushed towards Wen Yong with the corner of her white skirt.
The soft and fragrant body slammed into Wen Yong's arms, Wen Yong took a few steps back before stabilizing his footing, greedily smelling the fragrance in the hair of the mercy Ji, and asked intoxicatedly, "You have been waiting for me?" β
"Hmm."
After an affirmative answer, Lian Ji took the initiative to put her delicate plump lips to Wen Yong, and the two were fiercely entangled together.
I don't know how long it took for the lips of the two to separate. Wen Yong felt the coldness on her arms, and took Lian Ji tightly into her arms, "Let's go in, it's cold here." β
Mercy's cheeks were crimson, and the little bird leaned on Wen Yong's arms like a human and refused to leave.
Although Lian Ji looked like an adult, her body bones were as soft as feathers, and Wen Yong held her breath and picked her up directly.
Entering the Hanbing Palace, Wen Yong put Lian Ji on the low couch, wrapped her thin body in a slightly shiny blanket, touched her smooth hair and said, "Every time I see you, I only wear so little, isn't it cold?" β
Pian Ji looked at Wen Yong stupidly, the corners of her mouth rose, and she shook her head happily.
Wen Yong looked around, most of the things here were old, and there were only a few thin shirts in the closet, and Pian Ji had probably been living a life without fighting with the world like this.
There were still a few fresh fish hanging on the window, and Wen Yong couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the food that he had given him for the first time.
In the puzzled gaze of Mercy Ji, Wen Yong pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven that he was carrying, and clumsily cleaned up the fish.
Cutting out a wooden skewer and inserting it into the fish, Wen Yong put the fish on the fire, although the action was rusty, but it didn't take long for the aroma to waft out of the fish.
Sniffing on his nose, Wen Yong took the fish to Pi Ji, carefully twisted off a fat fish belly and handed it to Pi Ji.
Pian Ji looked at the food in Wen Yong's hand with a look of surprise and swallowed it carefully.
The warm touch of red lips came from his fingertips, and Wen Yongwei's heart swayed.
"It's delicious."
Reiki smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Wen Yong handed the fish over, but Lian Ji did not take it, but shrank into Wen Yong's arms, found a comfortable position to lie down, and said coquettishly: "You feed." β
Mercy Ji is lazy and beautiful at the moment, like a cat, probably no one can refuse her temptation, the corners of Wen Yong's mouth are raised, and he willingly becomes her captive.
Soon, a whole fish was eaten, and Lian Ji licked her lips and wrapped around Wen Yong like an octopus.
Gently stroking the jade back of the poor concubine, Wen Yong didn't know how to speak, telling her about her big wedding would inevitably shatter this glass dream that regarded herself as all girls.
Wen Yong felt that his life could no longer give her up, even if it was cruel deception.
"Sure enough, I was a scumbag in my previous life and this life."
