Chapter 17: The Token of General Mune

A breeze blew, and the lights of the ever-bright lamp flickered again, recalling Lime's thoughts.

Lime turned around, the door was open, and a man in white strode into the mourning hall.

He is fresh and handsome, seemingly unstained with mortal dust, and his white clothes are fluttering, which is appreciated by the world.

He bowed deeply three times and reverently offered a stick of incense before turning his attention to the woman kneeling in front of the spirit, "Lime, are you going to kneel here for seven days and nights?" Can your body stand it? ”

"Xiansi, when you came to persuade me that day, did you know my background?" Lime asked rhetorically without answering.

"I don't know." Liu Wuxian replied truthfully.

"You don't even know who I am, how can you persuade me?" Lime Road.

"At that time, I was entrusted by your senior brother to see how you are doing." Liu Wuxian said, "Your piano sound is poignant and persistent, which deeply attracts me, and I unconsciously want to get close to you and understand you." As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew in my heart that I couldn't do this lobbyist. ”

"Why can't you do it?" Lime looked up at him, confusion in her eyes.

"I don't know what you are obsessed with and what you have experienced, how can I persuade you?" Liu Wuxian said, "It's unreasonable to ask me for less words." ”

"What did Senior Brother tell you?" Lime asked again.

"Shaoyan knew that I was going to send Su Yan, so he came with a letter, which said that his little junior sister was obsessed with a past and couldn't get out, and she hadn't seen a letter for a long time out of the valley, so she asked me to come and see, and by the way, I came to persuade." Liu Wuxian said.

"Senior brother is right, there are some things that should not be attached." Lime said to herself, "Do you know my background now?" ”

"Jin Yue told me, and he also told me that you fell for the flowers." Liu Wuxian looked at her and frowned slightly. Her complexion, under the candlelight, looked very pale, "You can complain about him?" ”

"No, I never complained that he hurt me." Lime said, and then her voice became a little choked, as if she was enduring this, and she finally spoke, her tone full of helplessness and sadness, "I only complain that he is so ruthless." ”

"Lime, let me tell you a story." Liu Wuxian stepped forward, helped the slightly trembling lime on her knees, placed her on the chair, and poured her another cup of tea.

He sat beside her, his deep eyes sinking into memory, and he said, "Ten years ago, I visited the famous mountains and rivers alone. On that day, I happened to be at the foot of Taihang Mountain and fell to the bottom of the wild goose cliff. It was the height of summer, the weather was very hot, I was a little tired from walking, so I wanted to find a shade to rest, but there were few trees at the bottom of the cliff, and I searched for a long time before I found a decent tree. I hurried to the bottom of the tree, but I did not think that under the tree lay a dying young man, who was about my age, eleven or twelve years old. He clutched a broken sword tightly in his hand, and the clothes he was wearing were in tatters. There were scars all over his body, swords and stones, and he was covered in blood, but there was not a single intact piece of skin. Even so, the folding fan in his arms was also protected by him. ”

Lime listened quietly, full of worry and distress that could not be hidden.

"He was so weak that he couldn't even detect his snort, and if it hadn't been for his weak veins, I would have thought he was dead." Liu Wuxian said with palpitations, "I can't care about anything else, so I can only quickly take him away from the bottom of the cliff, and in a few minutes later, his life will really be gone." I found an abandoned hut not far away, and immediately applied needles to him to protect his heart, but fortunately I had the heart protection pill left to me by my mother, so I picked up his life. ”

"It turned out that you saved my brother, and since then my brother has lost his trace, where did he go?" Lime asked.

"At that time he was seriously injured and had difficulty moving. The conditions in the mountains are very simple, so in order to let him recover as soon as possible, I took him to settle in the towns near the Taihang Mountains. Liu Wuxian sighed lightly and said helplessly, "When I picked him up, he was delirious, his meridians were damaged, and he was fatally slapped, and he was extremely weak, and it took him a full five years to recover as before. ”

"As soon as he was injured, he returned to Su Yan?" Lime asked.

"That's right. At that time, his injury was just right and he still needed to recuperate, but he did not listen to persuasion and insisted on returning to Suyan Capital. I knew what was in his heart, and I didn't stop him. Liu Wuxian looked at Lime, his words were serious, and his eyes were full of expectation, "Lime, don't blame him, he is forced to do this now." He has no relatives around him, he has a deep blood feud, and he is a close friend who died for him, and he is struggling to support himself in Yanjing City. He walked on thin ice, step by step, and he didn't know how many times his life hung by a thread. If he hadn't learned to be clever and resolute, he would have died no longer knowing how many times. It is precisely because of this that his temperament is becoming colder and colder, more and more cautious and suspicious. Remember, Lime, that whatever you do, don't break his heart. His heart has dried up for many years, and you are his only nectar. ”

Liu Wuxian said eagerly, his tone almost pleading, "He is not a ruthless person, you need to enlighten him with your heart, let him feel affection, and let him know that he is not alone." ”

"Xiansi, I'll do my best." "There are some things I can't force myself. ”

"I know that Xiao Shiqian's death has become a knot in your heart, and it has become a barrier between your brothers and sisters. But lime, you have to know that nothing is set in stone, and the knot in your heart should be untied rather than knotted. The dead are gone, the living are still alive, and the living need more care. Liu Wuxian raised his voice, making Lime look into his expectant eyes, his tone was full of worry and expectation, he desperately hoped that Lime would understand his thoughts, "He has been in hiding in Beijing for many years, constantly cultivating power, and the city government is quite deep, and every decision he makes will affect the fate of countless people." Lime, whether he is benevolent or not, it is all in your thoughts; The fate of the people of the world is in your hands. ”

"Xiansi, you're exaggerating." Lime narrowed her eyes and said softly.

"Whether I exaggerate or not, you know best. He has done so much, it is nothing more than revenge, and his enemies are not only the Suyan royal family. Liu Wuji's face suddenly became serious.

"The old case in the palace is quite strange, and it seems to have some connection with the Qiqin case of that year, and I have been investigating it for many years, but I have gained little. Otherwise, I wouldn't have married Fang Han as the third lady of the Xiao family. Lime heard some clues from Liu Wuxi's words, and she asked, "Xiansi, what you said seems to have a deep meaning. ”

"The world is impermanent, who can tell the truth and falsehood? If you think it's true, it's really the truth? Liu Wuxian said, "I can only tell you so much, and I shouldn't tell you the rest." ”

"The world is impermanent, true and false." Lime whispered the two words, her mind racing.

A country, a dynasty, can stand for many years, there will be many secrets behind it that are not seen for various reasons, including heroes and martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, and traitors and villains who betrayed the country to seek glory.

Sometimes under the pressure of reality, the heroes not only can't show the snow, but also have to bear the infamy; But the traitor can survive in a chic manner and be admired by all the people.

As the saying goes, things are impermanent, and who can say clearly?

How many people can distinguish between male and female? The world is impermanent, true and false!

As soon as he thought of this, Lime's heart suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, "You mean, the genealogy I saw and everything recorded on it are fake?" ”

"You're smart, and you're smart." Liu Wuxian raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "I'm here for this trip, if I can get through to you, it's worth it." ”

"What about Xiao Shiqian?" Lime asked, "Since Xiansi said that the world is impermanent, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, is Xiao Shiqian really dead?" ”

"I don't know." Liu Wuxian smiled helplessly, "I can't see through what I do. ”

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Lime was silent for a long time, and then smiled, her smile was a little more transparent, and she said, "Traceless son, with a heart of life, great love, and a reputation worthy of it." ”

Liu Wuxian's face stiffened slightly, he was silent and did not respond.

"So, Xiansi has decided to be on his brother's side?" Lime smiled and became serious, "The news of the death of the Xiao family's father and son spread surprisingly quickly, and the hearts of the people of Suyan were unexpectedly united. Creating public opinion is to build momentum for the army, and when the people's hearts are wanted, it is the day of the army, am I right? In this frenzy of public opinion, Xiansi has also made a lot of efforts. ”

"Fang Hantian is a genius, but his heart is not in the community. Since he ascended the throne, the eunuchs were in power, and the party struggle was fierce, although it has not hurt the foundation of the country, but in the long run, it will become a catastrophe, which is Su Yan's internal worries. Half of the Shuochu royal family withered, the imperial power was aside, and the emperor had the heart to hoe and rape, but the strength was weak, and he had lived on the sickbed for a long time, and he was powerless. The regent monopolizes the power, and has been looking at Su Yan for a long time, and now it is at the time of Su Yan's internal troubles, Shuo Chu is disturbing at the border, and his heart is self-evident, this is Su Yan's external trouble. If you don't get rid of internal worries, how can you retreat from external troubles? Jin Yue is very obsessed, I can't stop it, and I can't stay out of it, I can only join it, do my best for the people, and live up to the people's call for me. The tea was cold, Liu Wuxian didn't notice it at all, his eyes were deep, but there was a little sadness.

"Xiansi, you treat your brother's affection, lime remembers, and the grass ring, you must repay it." Lime Road.

"Even if you have to pay it back, you shouldn't pay it back. In this life, if we are destined to become close friends, we should rely on each other and trust each other. Although Liu Wuxian smiled, his eyes were full of sadness, and the last sentence was more like saying to himself, "Who told me to meet him?" ”

"My brother can be a close friend and complement each other, so I can leave with peace of mind." Lime Road.

"Where are you going?" Liu Wuxian was slightly stunned, and then asked.

"After so many years of persistent pursuit of the truth, the moment I found my brother, it became less important." Lime said softly, "Now that the flowers have invaded my heart, I don't have many days to live." I realized that in my short life, I was obsessed with the obsession in my heart, and I didn't even take a good look at the world. Strange to say, it is only when life is short that one remembers that there are many things that he has not done. When Uncle Xiao and his second brother are in peace, I will try to have a good chat with my brother. After that, I want to go out for a walk, visit the famous mountains and rivers, to experience the customs and customs, to feel the beauty of the world I live in, so that I will not come to this world in vain. ”

"If you want to go, go away, away from this place that is about to become a battlefield, and it's good to go out for a walk." Liu Wuxian agreed.

"Xiansi, after I leave, take care of my brother for me." Lime Road.

"Don't worry, I've got everything here." Liu Wuxian nodded, and then instructed, "Before the effect of the Life Renewal Pill wears off, you must come back." ”

"Hmm." Lime nodded.

Lime spent the last seven days and nights for the father and son.

Since the death of Guogong, the lantern has been burning for a full 7749 days.

Today, August 27, the father and son of the country were funeral and buried in the cemetery.

The whole city was vegetarian, and the people saw each other off, looking sad, and after welcoming the coffin of the father and son, they consciously followed the team to see off the father and son.

By the time I arrived at the Xiao Family Cemetery, the funeral procession had become extremely long.

In the end, because of the importance of the cemetery, ordinary people were not allowed to enter, and the people left one after another.

There are many customs and etiquette for burial, and everyone is so busy that they forget the time.

By the end, it was nearly dusk.

Back at Xiao Mansion, the sun had set, and the sky was gradually darkening. Everyone was tired after a busy day, and after eating, they turned off the lights early and went to sleep.

The lights in the Xiao Mansion gradually went out, and the Xiao Mansion immediately fell into a silent night, only the study was still lit, and it was bright.

The constantly beating light is like a restless heart, unwilling to be quiet, it beats, beats, I don't know whose eyes are shaking, whose heart is disturbed.

Lime carried the lamp and stood alone in front of the study, not moving for a long time.

Inside was the family affection she had longed for for a long time, but she didn't dare to push open the door.
