"Father......" Suo Tai hesitantly stretched out his hand, but still stopped in mid-air, watching his smile gradually turn into loneliness and indifference, gritted his teeth and said: "Father, you don't hesitate to let Yan'er go to that bitter cold place and relatives just to survive, how to be worthy of being a wolf's descendant!" ”
With that, he turned his head to look at the hideous wolf picture on the wall.
The king did not reply, but reached out and drew a short knife from under the bed before him, and slowly drew it from the white scabbard.
The knife was thin and bright, and together with the scabbard, it emitted a terrifying cold light.
Zotai was forced to speak by the cold light, but this knife clearly did not have a tip but was blunt!
"...... this?" He muttered.
"What do you think?" The king spoke contemptuously, as if mocking something.
Suo Tai was silent, but saw him continue: "When I was young, I went to Tianyi to meet the emperor. But during the banquet, I heard that the emperor has a secret recipe to protect immortality, and there is an artifact to protect it. I was confused for a moment, and when I saw that the short knife on the king's waist was carved with white jade, the light was cold and bright, and I thought that he was also using some artifact, and I stole it while he was drunk and wanted to present it to my father, so I said goodbye early......"
His eyes wandered, and there was a dead silence that fell on Zothai's young face.
"Who knows, as soon as I entered Yaohua Mountain, there was fog, and my carriage strayed into the deep mountains, and I couldn't find the exit for several days, and I ran out of ammunition and food, so I had to kill the horses to feed my stomach. But I didn't know that I had been missing for many days, and the two countries had searched for me in vain, and in my father's eyes, it was the arrogance of the heavens who killed the envoys, so he waved his army to avenge me. And Tianyi's opinion, my early departure and disappearance must have stolen confidential information and prepared for Xili's attack on Tianyi. He chuckled, not a hint of blood on his face.
"When I finally got out of the mountains and came to the border. Only then did I know that Xili was no longer defeated by Tianyi, and King Yu's army had surrounded me and left Beijing......" His hand holding the knife trembled slightly. "I was escorted to my father, who knew that his son had made a big mistake. I am willing to pay tribute to Tianyi and pay tribute every year, and when the book is written at the border, my father will not be able to afford it......"
He shuddered, and the dagger fell to the ground
Zothai's face turned pale, and his lips trembled.
Wang didn't realize it, but looked farther away: "This knife is just an ordinary knife, it disappeared and no one mentioned it again, Yu Wang waved his army and was extraordinary, the so-called artifact." But it's all rumors. It really hurt me to leave the country...... It's your father, I. ”
Zotai staggered, staring straight at his father's fearful retreat, and did not stop until his back was against the lattice.
He never dreamed that the atrocities that had been rumored to be rumored by King Yu for more than ten years were actually fake? It turns out that Tianyi came to commit a crime because he left the country and violated the border?! The real murderer is a greedy father!
Through his desperate and painful eyes, Sotai seemed to see his father's remorse and deep self-blame.
No wonder whenever he mentions revenge, his father is always furious, it turns out that his father has been atoning for himself for so many years?!
He was gullible, but he was as selfish and greedy as his father, and tried in vain to save the country and send troops privately. Now let Xili be in deep trouble......
The king stared at the knife on the ground, his gaze suddenly became fierce, and Sotai couldn't stop it, and the thin knife was again held by him. Eyes red yelled: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if it's an artifact or an ordinary thing! I've done it too, hahaha......"
Let's talk about it. He turned his arrogant face at Thortai, who withdrew his hand in horror to stop him.
Wang smiled weirdly. One word at a time: "Let me die to thank the king, repay the people, and end the humiliation!" Come! Shut down Prince Sottai and lock him up! ”
Zotai stood dumbfounded. Suddenly understood, and violently pushed away the guards who rushed in: "Father, what are you going to do?!" He suddenly became frightened, and the crazy but frail old man in front of him almost had a desperate thought.
The king only glanced at him and turned his back, unable to speak: "If Xi leaves, what will happen to Yan'er?" ”
Zotai stopped suddenly, his face dark, and let the guards tie him up.
How can he not understand the difference between the situation of the slave of the dead country and the princess of Heqin?
His lips tightened, and the strength of his hands relaxed, and Zotai was dragged out, only to hear his father sigh faintly behind him.
"You are my favorite son, and I hope that you can grow up and bring prosperity out of the country...... Sothai, you have to protect Yan'er and escape......"
Zotai tightened his whole body, as if he had been struck by lightning.
And he, only he is still in the dark!
He just didn't understand, and he always thought that his father never smiled and treated him harshly, so he was angry that he was not successful, and he hated him the most.
No wonder his father was extremely strict with him, so that he couldn't bear it and fled to southern Xinjiang, which caused a big disaster, no wonder the brothers were dissatisfied with their father and tried to usurp the throne, it turned out that in his father's heart, he has always been the favorite son!
Now he understands, but it's too late.
Even if his father wants Yan'er to make peace with his relatives, he will observe the situation of leaving the country: Tianyi is a mortal enemy, and there is turmoil in southern Xinjiang, and there is no more peaceful place than the Hu people......
He understood, and suddenly he understood.
But the guards dragged him farther and farther away, and he turned his head as best he could, and watched the thin figure under the fine clothes gradually fade, blurring whether it was the candlelight or his eyes.
Ruoyun's mind wandered, as if she had entered some kind of ecstasy array, and she couldn't turn to the exit.
It was pitch black in front of her, and there were voices in her ears that kept talking to her, one by one, sentence by sentence, she couldn't really hear it, but she felt extremely familiar and reassured.
It seems that after a long time, the sudden abdominal pain is like a knife, as if it is being eaten by thousands of poisonous insects. She opened her mouth to shout, but her throat couldn't make a sound as if it was stuck, and even her mind was confused.
Consciousness and bodily reactions are almost separate, and they are inextricably linked to each other.
Although she felt unbearable pain, she was still motionless in reality, her lips opened and closed weakly, and her eyes could turn, but they were still empty.
As the name suggests, the legend can break the intestines, but in fact it is poisoned and adhered to the stomach, and in the end it is to vomit black blood and die, the best way is to drink goose blood to induce vomiting, as long as it is spit out, it can be slowly recovered.
Rou Yan ordered someone to pour goose blood into her, although she opened her mouth and vomited. But he never woke up.
The poisoning is not deep, but it is too long. I am afraid that the poison in the stomach and intestines has been integrated into the blood, and I cannot vomit it out.
Rou Yan wiped her sweat for her, watching her suffer but couldn't express it. It's better to shout it out......
Looking at her, she remembered her mother.
Although her father loved her the most, her mother was still sick.
At that time, she was still young, and she only knew that her mother hugged her and cried, saying reluctant words, and then fell asleep.
I slept and never woke up again.
Maybe she was young, she wasn't very sad at the time, and she didn't understand what death was. Because her father still loved and doted on her, and with Sotai's brother with her all the time, she was not so sad.
But when she grew up, even though she was still a princess held in her hands, her father became more and more strict with Sotai's brother.
The other brothers hated Brother Sothai, and they hated her too.
Fortunately, Sotai's brother always accompanies her and comforts her, even if the other brothers never smile at her.
But the elder brother was thinking about avenging his people. From sneaking out of the palace to Miao Jiang and coming back, he was mysterious.
This time, no matter how much she cried and begged, he still followed the strange clothes of the outsiders. Come back again. But that's what it looks like.
I hope that my brother will go to see his father, and nothing will happen......
Thinking of this, she tightly grasped the sari in her heart. The heartache is unbearable.
As soon as the day dawned, Rou Yan woke up from her dream. looked at Ruoyun beside him.
Her complexion was much better, and her eyes were closed. It seems that there is no danger to life for the time being.
As if she felt that someone was looking at her, Ruoyun barely opened her eyes, but found that a delicate and cute little girl was looking at her, who looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, but her black eyes were as bright as unpolished black pearls.
Isn't this Rou Yan or who?
"You're awake...... Great......"
Rou Yan hurriedly jumped out of bed and lay back on the bed: "I thought you would die, it's okay." I've got you dressed so you can get some rest. ”
Ruoyun looked at Rou Yan weakly, and suddenly found herself lying on a bed covered with soft and brocade quilts, opening her mouth, and her throat couldn't make a sound as if it had been burned.
"Although there are other ways to detoxify, I don't dare to try it easily, and it is indeed better to spit out some poison." She blinked, and her fair and pink face was as eye-catching as white jade.
Poison......
Ruoyun lost her smile and was poisoned, so Suo Tai was relieved to take her, and the master disdained to kill her.
It turned out that she was going to die sooner or later.
"Isn't your hairpin important? I've put it here for you. Rou Yan pointed to the head of the bed, where the lifelike butterfly hairpin lay quietly.
Ruoyun was grateful, and hurriedly reached out and pinched it.
Suddenly remembering something, Ruoyun wanted to sit up, but her body weighed as much as a stone: "Princess, listen to me...... Your brother Wang was deceived by the Hu people to attack Tianyi without authorization, as long as he ......"
Rou Yan hesitated a little, but still interrupted her loudly: "Sister, it's useless......"
Ruoyun stopped talking fiercely, and just wanted to say that as long as she explained the misunderstanding, she might be able to resolve the conflict, but the little Rou Yan woke her up: Tianyi Emperor Rong Jinhuan, I'm afraid that I wish there was such an excuse to send troops to leave the country......
"But don't worry, I won't let you die, and when it's over, I'll let you go back." She said, blinking seriously, "I will beg my brother, he likes me the most, I beg him, he will definitely agree!" ”
Looking at her innocent eyes, Ruoyun didn't even have the strength to bite her lip.
Waiting for it to pass?
Either the country left the west and the country was destroyed, or the Tianyi army was destroyed?!
"No...... Listen to me......" As soon as he was halfway through his words, it was suddenly dark again, and his head was buzzing, as if he had fallen into another world.
Rou Yan saw that her eyes suddenly became hollow again, afraid that it was the repetition of the poison, so she gently pushed her.
Ruoyun was pushed by this, and it seemed to return her soul, only to hear Rou Yan whisper in her ear: "If I let you go...... Will you beg them to spare your brother...... Please spare him...... Spare my father...... Woowoo...... Yan'er ...... Yan'er can go and kiss ...... Yan'er is voluntary...... Yan'er is not afraid of ......"
Ruoyun clenched her teeth hard, and the words she wanted to say choked in her throat.
Suddenly, a maid slammed open the door and rushed in, shouting, "Princess! The princess is not good! The king has imprisoned Prince Thortai! ”
Rou Yan was stunned, then fell out of bed with a scream, and rushed out without worrying about putting on shoes and socks.
Ruoyun clenched the brocade quilt in pain, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get up, so she watched the maid follow in a panic.
The king refused to see each other, and Rou Yan knelt down in front of the hall.
The next day, King Yu had already taken the second city of Liguo, pointing directly to Lijing. (To be continued......)
