"We cling to the Chen family at the price of this daughter and gold and silver treasures. If there is no this, how can I have a good official career for Shen'er? The conspiracy of the Chen family, we can't see it, it's just that we respond to requests, and the emperor naturally can't get used to the Chen family's endless treasure trove behind him, so he will naturally kill Xiao Tao. This is not a big deal for the Chen family, and their son can find the daughter of a businessman who is far away, and it will never be broken, do you understand?"

Gongsun Yin listened quietly, the sword in his hand fell from his hand, Mrs. Xu blinked her eyes, and saw that his eyes were blank, and his eyes were full of ridicule, "You are all good, you all have made a grand slam, my little peach is the only one who loses, and he has lost so much that he doesn't even have his life." “

Mrs. Xu was shocked by his words, and a trace of guilt rose slightly in her heart, but after thinking about it, her Shen'er is now prosperous, isn't this her greatest wish. The little bit of guilt she ignited was fleeting, and Gongsun Yin in front of her also saw that this family didn't regard Xu Tao as a daughter at all, but when she was an indifferent chess piece, she could give up at any time, even if it was gone, she would not be heartbroken, guilty, nostalgic, and regretful.

He indifferently picked up the sword on the ground and walked out the door. Now it's useless to do this, their affection for Xu Tao can be described as shallow, even if they kill them, they won't have the slightest guilt and heartache, so what's the point?

The rain rolled down on his face, giving him an unreal sense of dreaminess, he thought that Xu Tao's departure was at least happy, and letting go so easily was indeed a regret that could not be fulfilled for him in his eternal life.

He knew that Mrs. Xu looked down on him in the past because he was the son of a poor scholar, and Xu Tao fell victim to the royal family and the Chen family. With tears in the corners of his eyes, he secretly swore at that moment that he would have supreme power in this life, and let those who calculated to kill Xu Tao pay for him one by one.

After five years of hibernation, Emperor Zhao for ten years, he finally became the prime minister of Western Zhao above 10,000 people under one person, and accompanied him to enjoy the great rivers and mountains.

The emperor stood there leisurely and stared at the huge social map on the wall, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Prime Minister, do you know how long I have been preparing for this war?"

Gongsun Yin lowered his first compilation, "Your Majesty, the result of everything is good, and the process is not important." ”

The emperor glanced at him, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his vigorous and powerful voice, "No, the merchants of Huadu are all my treasure troves, their daughters are married to the Chen family, and the Chen family thinks that they have power and wealth, but in fact, they are just a place for me to collect gold and silver, ten years of planning, in exchange for a Beiliang, no loss." ”

Gongsun Yin couldn't help but think of Xu Tao's face, and said lightly, "Then this person from the Chen family is bound to die, when does Your Majesty plan to do it?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and sneered, "The current Chen family really needs me to repair it. They fornicated with the Southern Qin generals, and also intended to send the daughters of the merchants they didn't want to marry to be the concubines of the Southern Qin generals to curry favor with them. ”

Gongsun Yin's pupils suddenly widened, "Don't want the daughter of a merchant?" The rare excitement in his tone made the emperor look sideways slightly.

"The prime minister doesn't know anything?" the emperor looked suspicious.

Gongsun Yin shook his head, "The emperor knows the ministers, I say I don't know, I just don't know." ”

The emperor snorted out of his nose, "In the fifth year, the Chen family married the daughters of three merchants, and one of them was the daughter of the Xu family. She told the Chen family to take great pains, and five years ago, they gave me a heart of treason, for fear that I would suspect them, so they deliberately killed the other two, and claimed that the three daughters were dead. It's a pity that it didn't escape the eyes of the Dark Guard. They put the daughter of the Xu family under house arrest and made her an out-and-out enchantress who was specially used to serve men, intending to send her to curry favor with Nan Qin. It's just that this chess piece that they have carefully prepared will become my final preparation for the start of this war. ”

Gongsun Yin's eyes suddenly darkened, as if he had lost his color, he trembled and took a step back, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the minister's recent body is somehow easy to collapse, please allow me to go back to the house to rest." His tone was inaudible with sadness, as if it were normal. But only he knew that if the emperor dared to say a word now, he might definitely impulsively go up and choke his neck and kill the king. Everything about this group of beasts is really just for himself, and he thought that Xu Tao's death was the biggest blow to him. But Xu Tao is now worse than dead, and he has become a man's enchantress, but he clearly feels despair and a heart that is enough to swallow him

The emperor lightly promised, "Since the prime minister is unwell, let's go and rest, the plan has begun, and when you are well-healed, we will see the expansion of this territory and the majestic rivers together." At this time, the emperor was dominated by strong excitement, and he was already eager to look at Xizhao after breaking through Beiliang, he thought that Gongsun Yin, like him, had the world in his heart, and was a rare wise man with a long-term vision. Gongsun Yin is indeed like this, but in his heart that has been turbulent for a long time, there is still a Xu Tao who will always make him feel hot and gentle.

Gongsun Yin tried hard to hold his weak legs forward, and his mind repeatedly reproduced the appearance of going to the Xu Mansion to threaten them, in fact, the biggest sinner was the Chen family, why did he stupidly not settle accounts with the Chen family, but used a completely ineffective way to make himself feel a little less guilty. The last step of the ten-year war was to kill the woman he loved the most, and use it to overthrow the largest power gate since the founding of Western Zhao, the Chen family.

As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, there was no one around. He walked forward with blank eyes, feeling a sense of exhaustion all over his body, he walked very slowly, blindly walked for a while, and actually walked to the street skill. He really felt so tired that he sat down directly against the pillar in front of the Cloud Relic Workshop.

The crowd in the distance was bustling around the street, and he didn't want to open his eyes or pay attention to what was happening on the street. The embroidery lady in the workshop saw a richly dressed boy sitting in front of the door of the brocade shop, leaning against the pillar motionless.

The embroidery girls were hiding behind the door to peep at this strange person in front of the door, and they were chattering about what kind of person would block the door of people's shops in broad daylight, Su Niangzi heard a commotion outside behind the screen, so she put down the needle and thread and walked outside, and saw that the embroidered girls were hiding behind the door and looking outside, and couldn't help but scold, "It's just a spy on the street, what is there to see." ”

Only then did the group of embroidery girls notice Su Niangzi, and one of them said boldly, "Back to Su Niangzi, no, there is a richly dressed son sitting in front of our door, blocking many guests, but we don't dare to ask him to leave." ”

Su Niangzi frowned questioningly, and walked towards the door, it didn't matter what she looked at, she couldn't believe that the dignified Prime Minister Zhao would sit in front of her embroidery workshop, she was also a person who had made clothes for many dignitaries and nobles, and her knowledge was not low, so she was busy saluting, "I've seen the Prime Minister." Are you tired, do you want to go into my little embroidery workshop to rest?"

Gongsun Yin closed his eyes, his voice was tired and indifferent, "What are you doing on this lively street?"

"Back to the Prime Minister, there is a female spy who wants to parade the streets. ”

Gongsun Yin hurriedly opened his eyes, the female spy was his little peach. He hurriedly got up and ran into the crowd in front of him, hearing the voices of the crowd talking. "That female spy turned out to be from the Chen family, this Chen family has so much power, and it really shouldn't be a traitor to the country. ”

"This female spy is hated, this is the first spy in Xizhao's history to parade the streets, it seems that she is really heinous, and it is only when she provokes our emperor with the best temperament to be angry. ”

Gongsun Yin listened, feeling that the anger all over his body was converging in his fist, and he roared angrily, "You have all been deceived, she is not a female spy at all, not at all." ”

The man who spoke was also unclear about his temperament, "Where are you a madman, the emperor's decree clearly says, she is a spy, a lowly embryo who tempts men with her body." After speaking, he also spat in front of Gongsun Yin.

The crowd of onlookers around him all looked at him with a look of drama, "Is he crazy? ”

Gongsun Yin's heart was filled with powerlessness, but he couldn't give up explaining anymore, the first time he didn't insist on keeping Xu Tao to stay, causing her to marry into the Chen family. The second time, he didn't really avenge Xu Tao, it was obviously close at hand, but he let her survive this life was worse than death, this was the third time, he had no other chance, at least let him explain it for her again, and try to save her again.

"None of this is like this, she is not a spy, she is my most beloved person, she was used and used by the Chen family! Please believe me, believe her, and don't scold her again. He cried out weakly, knowing that it was futile, but there was no other way, he collapsed to the ground, feeling that he was deeply being played with and calculated. In the past, he thought that he would be able to protect the woman he loved if he became the prime minister, but it was too late.

In the distance, there was the sound of the prisoner's wheel turning, and he looked back with tears in his eyes, and saw that the crowd blocking the street had long since moved out of the way, and on the empty street, she was standing on the prisoner's cart with scarred face, her unkempt hair was covered with ash, and her plain white clothes had already been stained red by the blood of the wounds, if it weren't for the front and back of the prisoner's cart supporting her, she would have fallen long ago. A pair of eyes that seemed to be like stagnant water, the tears in the eyes of Gongsun Yin, who was sitting on the ground, were instantly full of shame, her dry lips seemed to move suddenly, she hadn't eaten a mouthful of food for a long time, and she still had tears to shed after drinking a sip of water.

In front of the man she loved the most, she was standing in front of her with such an ugly appearance, shame and pain filled her eyes, she would rather be smashed ten thousand rotten eggs than she stood in front of him in front of him in this disgusting and disgusting way for a second, a moment.

Gongsun Yin looked at her, and rushed up desperately and threw himself on the prisoner car, "Xiao Tao, Brother Yin is here to save you." He frantically smashed his fist against the heavy wooden prisoner cart, the skin was peeling and the flesh was open, and the wood was still as stiff as ever. Xu Tao wanted to make a sound in pain, but she hadn't drunk water for so many years, she couldn't even make a sound, she watched desperately and powerlessly as Gongsun Yin used all her strength to smash the prisoner car, and the sour feeling in her heart seemed to be pierced alive. Gongsun Yin was forcibly pulled aside by the officers and soldiers accompanying him, "Prime Minister, don't mess around." ”

Five people came up and pulled Gongsun Yin aside, and the remaining officers and soldiers hurriedly continued to push the prisoner cart away, "Xiao Tao! Xiao Tao! I am the prime minister, you dare to press me, I want your life." Gongsun Yin, who was suppressed aside, struggled desperately, trying to run away from these officers and soldiers who were as powerful as Mount Tai, he looked at the squeaky prison cart in the distance, and all the emotions in his heart turned into that ghostly cry, no one stopped him anymore, he fell on the empty street, like a dead man.

Not knowing how long he had been lying down, he slumped up weakly and walked to the execution ground far ahead. It had long been empty and empty, except for the blood left behind after the execution. He put his hands down in the blood, and there was irrepressible hatred and sadness in his eyes, "Xiao Tao, all of this after that will be handed over to Brother Yin." His tone was calm and gentle, as if he was talking to her about a boy's love.

"Brother, I will also build a peach orchard for you, with the emperor and the Chen family's flesh and blood, to accompany you for the rest of your life. ”
