I bowed my head and said nothing, and Yu An took the whip and whipped the cow's back again. Two corpses, two living people, the old cow mooed, one foot deep, one foot shallow and walked towards Surabaya.

Out of the city, through the fertile fields, when the ox cart passed by the roadside a tree had fallen flowers and gave birth to a peach tree full of green leaves, Yu An suddenly turned his head: "You and Wuxian went to Jinyang this spring, can he take you to see the lover peach by the Fenshui outside the city?" ”

"Lover's Peach?"

"There is a peach tree by the Fenshui outside Jinyang City, which blooms pink and white peach blossoms every spring. The boys in the city call it Lover's Peach, but whenever there is a girl they like, they will always try their best to bring their beloved girl to meet under the tree. I thought that the shirtless would definitely take you there. ”

"I've seen that peach tree." On that day, we left Jinyang by boat, and Xiao Jiu was standing under a two-color peach tree by the Fenshui River and said goodbye to Si'er with a wreath he had woven himself. Under the peach of the lover, farewell to the lover. It's a pity that the young man is affectionate, but the girl already has a heart and a home.

"Wuxian saved Yao Nu under that lover's peach?"

"Shirtless told you?"

"It was Yao Nu herself who told me, but she deliberately said that Fenshui was muddy water and Zhao was Zhi."

"When Yao Nu met Wuxian, it was still your current age, and a group of warriors under Zhao Mengli got drunk and hit her idea. If it weren't for Wuxian's obstruction, she would probably ......" Yu An closed his eyes and closed his mouth.

A girl like a flower, a group of wolf-like maniacs, what is the result, I understand if he doesn't say it. But meeting him, whether it was luck or misfortune, but only Yao Nu herself understood.

"It's hard for him to fight the crowd with one."

"Yes, Zhao Wuxian at that time was not Zhao Wuxian now. You should really see him with a blue nose and swollen face, dislocated hands, and biting other people's ears, he is really a madman who breeds horses. Yu An recalled the old events, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend.

"You all call him crazy, but I've never seen him go crazy......" I sighed as I looked at the vast wilderness.

"That was the last time I saw him go crazy. He went so desperately to save Yao Nu, maybe it was just because those five men had also insulted his mother! Yu An gently pulled the reins and drove the ox cart onto a trail.

His mother?! The five men...... I was startled and grabbed my sleeve.

Wuxian rarely mentioned his mother to me, and every time I asked about his past, he always said lightly, a little bitter. But such humiliation......

"What kind of person was his mother? Have you seen it? I asked Yu An.

"No, but according to those men, she is a very beautiful woman."

Listening to those men...... "A chill suddenly rose in my belly.

"Ah Shi, you don't have to be angry for him. Now that even Zhao Mengli is dead, with the means of no mercy now, those five people may not even have ashes left! Yu An drove the ox cart to a locust tree, and jumped down with a hem: "It's here, it's here!" ”

This is an open field outside the city of Ludu, because there is a slight scenery in the place near the turn of Surabaya, and many large and small graves have been built. The mounds of high and low were scattered among the overgrown weeds, and the unknowing sorrowful wild trees had settled on them, and clusters of small yellow flowers bloomed in a messy manner. As soon as the wind passed, the seeds of wild white pompoms scattered with the wind, clumps and groups, desperately trying to escape from this eternal resting place of death in the river breeze and rush to their own distant fate.

Yu An chose a vacant lot under an old locust tree, picked up a shovel, and shoveled out a handful of black soil.

The rain-soaked mud fell heavily at my feet, splashing up a cloud of muddy water. I stood silently, in the snowy field, watching the pit grow bigger and deeper at my feet.

Why did Yu An mention Zhao Mengli's death just now, did he notice something?

"Ah Shi, how did Zhao Mengli die, do you know?" Yu An stood in the middle of the dirt pit and threw out a shovel of wet mud, looked up and asked me.

I nodded and said, "I heard that on the way to Pingyi, the horse went crazy and fell off the cliff and died. ”

"Could this have something to do with the shirtless?" Yu An stepped the bronze shovel and pried up a large amount of black mud.

"When Zhao Mengli took office, I was far away in Jinyang with Wuxian, and we only learned about his death after returning to Xinjiang." Although I was shocked in my heart, I didn't dare to show my voice between the words. Although Yu An and Wuxian knew each other at a young age, after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and Wuxian didn't want him to know about killing his brother.

"Wuxian used to raise horses, so I thought he was doing something to the horse that pulled the cart." Yu An leveled the bottom of the pit with a copper shovel, and then jumped up lightly.

I looked at the hem of his clothes stained with dirt and grassroots, and said coldly: "I don't know why you think so, but even if Wuxian is not in agreement with Zhao Mengli, he will never do anything to kill his brother." There is also a Beru between him and the eldest son of the Zhao family, and he will not do anything to embarrass Beru. ”

"Yes! Is he a brother and a brother in your heart? Yu An glanced at me, turned around and walked towards the corpse on the ox cart.

"You asked me to accompany you out of the house to bury the corpse today, not to pity me for having an acquaintance with the servant and the fish woman, you have something to tell me, right?" I stood behind him, looked at his back, and said loudly.

Yu An picked up the body of the fish woman, strode in front of me, put the body on the ground, got up and looked at me, and said, "Yes, I am not a person who is good at using scheming, and I can't play any tricks in front of you." I took you out of the house today, and I really have something to say to you. ”

"What are you going to say?"

"Leave Wuxian, don't go back to Jin with him!" Yu An looked at me with blazing eyes.

"What are you talking about?" I was stunned.

"Leave tonight, leave him, don't go back to Jin with him!" Yu An took a step forward and grabbed my hand, "Before he hurts you, you can leave him first!" ”

"Why?" I raised my eyes to look into Yu An's eyes, and I tried to pull my hand out, but he grabbed me harder and harder.

"What the hell is going on with you and Si'er? One struggled to tell me not to blame him, and the other inexplicably urged me to leave him. What the hell are you guys up to! I broke Yu An's fingers hard and pulled my hand out, "I won't go, why should I go?" ”

"Ah Shi"

"Okay, you let me leave him, you have to give me a reason to leave! Because he killed Yao Nu, because he killed Younu? ”

Yu An shook his head, he pursed his lips tightly, and only looked at me with a regretful gaze. I hate the way he looks like he wants to talk and stops, and he is torn up in pain. His silence only made me more agitated, and his hesitation only made me more afraid of what he was about to say.

"Why didn't you speak? You talked to me about Jinyang today, about your lover peach, and about the old things before Wuxi, didn't you just want me to hear your reasons? I'm listening now, tell me your reasons! ”

Yu An turned his head, he looked at the old cow pulling the cart, frowned, and said, "In order to get close to Beru back then, Wuxian fed poisonous mushrooms to Berlu's horses. ”

"No, Yin Duo told me that it was Zhao Mengli who sent someone to feed Bolu's horse poisonous mushrooms, and it was Wuxian who desperately pulled the crazy horse to save Bolu."

"Zhao Mengli really wanted to kill Beru, but the poisonous mushroom was fed without mercy. This is what I saw with my own eyes. ”

"Then why didn't you say it back then?"

"Shirtless is my friend, and nothing happened to Berlu."

"But why are you telling me now? What does this have to do with me? Do you want to tell me that he is not a good man, so I have to leave him? I sneered, left Yu An and turned around and walked under the locust tree.

"If I said yes, would you leave?" Yu An followed closely and pressed one hand on the trunk of the locust tree, blocking my way.

"No, it won't." I watched him solemnly reply.

"He almost killed Bruw."

"He is still a child, he offended Zhao Mengli, and the Zhao family has only Beru who can protect him except for the prime minister. If he couldn't get close to Berlu, he would have died in a corner for no apparent reason. Starved, beaten, burned, poisoned, no one cares how a pony died. The people of the Zhao family will not know that he is the son of the prime minister. They would throw his body away like garbage. Perhaps, I'm sorry for Burlu when I say that, but if I were uncompromised, I would do the same. He was a child, but he grabbed a crazy horse alive, and he fought for his own life. Maybe he took advantage of Berru, but didn't he dutifully protect Berlu for so many years afterward? Yu An, if that's your reason, then I won't leave. ”

He did it just to survive, and I can't blame him just because he wanted to live.

"Ah Shi, why don't you understand? From a slave to Zhao Shizi, this is a difficult thing, but he Zhao Wuxian did it, or he was only one step away from doing it. For so many years, he knew very well what he was going to do, he opened a shop in the Qi country, he deliberately made friends with the magnates of various countries, and he had a group of warriors who swore allegiance to him to the death. From the moment he fed the poisonous mushrooms to Berlu's horses, he knew what he was going to do. ”

Yu An's words hit my heart like a bolt of lightning, and I seemed to hear a soft "click" in my chest, like a fine line cracking on the surface of the ice.

He exchanged identities with Zhang Mengtan and traveled around the world, he was Bolu's guard but had five occupations in the Qi State, he knew the senior officials of the Qi Doctor, he was a brother and sister to the Gongsun of the Chu State, and he had a group of warriors like Ah Yu who swore allegiance to the death...... When did he decide to fight for the throne?! He killed Zhao Mengli and Zhao Jiting because they blocked his way, if one day he was full-fledged, but Bolu didn't take the initiative to resign, then he would also kill Bolu?

I was frightened by my own thoughts, my palms were cold, but the back of my neck was dripping with sweat.

Yu An saw that I was stunned, so he said: "Now Wuxian is only one step away from the position of the son of the world, and he will not stop at this step for you." After returning to the Jin Kingdom this time, a lot will happen to the Zhao family. The deeper you sink into the shirtless, the more damage you will take. Let's go! Leave him before he forsakes you. ”
