Liu Jing, the king of Song who slowly walked out of the prison of Song Guotian, seemed to be no different from usual in the eyes of others, with the same proud expression and the same cold eyes. But in Ling Fei's opinion, Liu Jing's eyebrows were slightly frowned, his steps were slow and unsteady, and his black hair and plain clothes were not neat, which was what Liu Jing would only show when he was physically and mentally exhausted.

Ling Fei stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, a person's body is not always made of iron. If the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were still alive, how sad and sad they would have been to see Her Highness tormenting themselves like this! ”

Hearing this, another layer of frost formed in Liu Jing's eyes. He ignored Ling Fei and got on the horse, but he didn't go fast, and let Ling Fei lead the horse behind him.

Nowhere was around, Ling Fei suddenly ran to Liu Jing and knelt down on his knees, and was startled and immediately stopped.

Liu Jing said: "What do you do?" ”

Ling Fei unsheathed his saber and placed it between his knees and Dustless's front hooves. "Your Highness, the death of King Chu Hui is a minister's own initiative! It's the minister's impulsiveness! It was the minister who didn't control the sword in his hand! His Royal Highness wants to kill and punish, and the minister will not give up! But I beg Your Highness not to torture yourself again! His Royal Highness is the monarch of the Song Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom cannot be without His Highness for a day! ”

Liu Jing said: "You get up." ”

Ling Fei was still kneeling, but he raised his head to look at Liu Jing. "In the past, when His Royal Highness encountered difficulties, he would more or less say a few words to his ministers. But since the minister stabbed King Chu Hui with a sword, His Royal Highness has never spoken to the minister in his heart. The minister knows that he is shallow and can't give advice to His Highness, but the minister should always solve problems for His Highness. No matter what the reason, as long as His Royal Highness says a word, the minister will take his own head and send someone to the state of Chu to reach the life of King Chu Hui! ”

Liu Jing's eyebrows moved slightly: "What is the reason?" ”

Ling Fei said: "First, it was the minister who killed the king of Chu Hui, and the state of Chu raised an army to attack the Song Dynasty. Dongfang Shou commanded 80,000 Chu troops, and he had crossed the Chu River and went straight to the Jade River. The East is menacing, and the big war is imminent, which cannot be underestimated. The minister was willing to sacrifice his head, hoping that Song and Chu would negotiate peace, and exchange a peace for the people of Song State.

Second, it was the minister who killed King Chu Hui on His Highness's ship, and she must have thought that the minister obeyed His Highness's orders. His Royal Highness killed the minister, so that he could prove his innocence, get her understanding, and have peace in His Highness's heart. ”

Liu Jing looked at the withered and desolate dense forest in the distance. "You want to hear what I'm talking about? It's nothing more than - I don't kill you because you did what I wanted. I ignore you because I can't forgive myself for wanting to do it. Moreover...... I never told you not to hurt Lin Ying! ”

Ling Fei said: "I want to think about it, but His Highness didn't do it!" The assassins of the Chu State frequently assassinated, and His Highness just endured it. At that time, Lin Ying was forced everywhere, and His Royal Highness never drew his sword. If the mistake is made by the minister, His Highness does not have to protect the minister.

The minister also understands that when anyone is the king of Chu, His Royal Highness can fight endlessly with the Chu State, but now that she is the king of Chu, His Royal Highness is unwilling to fight with the Chu State. If you don't kill the ministers, how can Song and Chu negotiate peace with each other? ”

Liu Jing shook his head and slowly bypassed Ling Fei with the Absolute Dust. "You and I have known each other since childhood, I won't kill you."

Ling Fei immediately put away his sword and stood up, got on his horse and followed Liu Jing, and listened to Liu Jing again: "When the peerless peak booby-trapped Liu Ying, I couldn't fully understand the pain of losing someone. I thought that sooner or later Shu'er could forget him, and sooner or later he could forgive me, after all, I also had many reasons, many excuses, and many involuntary reasons.

It wasn't until my mother passed away suddenly that I realized that the pain of losing someone was impossible to let go. I can't let go of this kind of pain myself, so how can I let Shu'er go? I swore to myself that I would never let Shu'er lose the person she didn't want to lose. She grew up in Chen with Lin Ying, whether it is a sibling or another personal relationship, how important Lin Ying is to her, there is no need to say it.

But when the assassins of the Chu State frequently appeared in front of me, and when Lin Ying was aggressive in front of me, I still wanted to kill him immediately to relieve the hatred in my heart!

Why is it not me who grew up with Shu'er? Why would Shu'er rather live in his harem for so many years without a name than stay with me? Why did she insist on leaving every time I wanted to keep her, and finally went to him? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jing suddenly burst into tears.

Why, those who are jealous of me and make me jealous are surrounded by relatives, so warm and lively! And it's just me, all the traitors and relatives, alone? It's just me, swaying from side to side, in a dilemma?

Why, when I took the jade seal of the Song Kingdom and took the King of the Song Dynasty to cross the Jade River to Chushui and make an appointment with you in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I wanted to exchange the entire Song Kingdom for you, but I was obstructed by him!

He did not hesitate to die to stand in his way!

Since then, Song Chu has been separated by his death, and between you and me, there has been another crack!

Why, things always fail to fulfill people's wishes, and I am like a couple!

Liu Jing was indignant in his heart, but he could only wipe away his tears in silence. There were many words that he could no longer say to Ling Fei.

Ling Fei didn't know the mystery of Liu Jing's life experience, and he didn't know that King Zhao and Shu'er had partnered to deceive them, so he naturally thought that Liu Jing and Shu'er were a pair of brothers and sisters, so he comforted: "She was taken care of by His Highness as soon as she was born, and she will still remember the affection with His Highness's brothers and sisters, understand His Highness, and forgive His Highness." Even her daughter was taken care of by His Highness as soon as she was born. If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness disregarded her reputation and gave her daughter the title of Princess of Song Kingdom as a support, she had made a lot of enemies when she first returned to Chu State, and her daughter didn't know if she would be able to live past her first birthday! ”

Liu Jing did not look back, and continued to slowly ride the horse forward. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said calmly: "Ling Fei, after returning to the palace, I will issue an order to abolish the position of close guard." After me, the future monarchs of the Song Kingdom will not have close guards. I remember that when you fought the Rong people in Shu, you told me that you were very envious of the generals who had been Rong Ma all his life. In the battle of Song and Chu, I named you the general of the Song State and ordered you to command the Song army with full authority. ”

Ling Fei was extremely surprised, he didn't know how to answer, and in a hurry, he only blurted out and asked, "If you meet Dongfang Sorrow...... Can a minister kill? ”

Liu Jing finally glanced back at Ling Fei, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked rhetorically, "He?" Can you kill it? "Cola Literature

……

This winter, the jade capital was extremely cold, and all industries were depressed. Liu Ying and Xue Fan were busy with the little money left.

Liu Ying used the medical skills he learned in Yaowang Mountain in the past few years to take Xue Fan to make money for people to diagnose the pulse and treat some incurable diseases, and relied on the memory of the lone book of calligraphy and paintings collected in the tomb of King Zhou and the ancient songs of the Zhou Dynasty, or wrote a few words, or painted a few paintings, or copied a few remnant ancient songs, and then framed and made old, falsely claiming the original, and sold them to the dignitaries in the jade capital at a high price.

The money earned by the two, in Xue Fan's words, was "all turned into warm wine, and it entered the stomach of the elder brother."

The treasury of the Song State was empty, the folk industry was depressed, and the wine in the jade capital was already as expensive as elixir. At this time, those who can still go to the wine shop to drink warm wine are naturally high-ranking officials and nobles in Yudu, and relatives of the king.

Liu Ying disguised himself as a disguise, with silver hair, looking like a withered old man, sitting in a wine shop all day long, eavesdropping on many anecdotes of the Chu and Song wars and nobles.

The war between Chu and Song is nothing more than where General Ling was defeated, and how the Dongfang of Chu was brave and brave in battle, and how he captured three big cities in the Song State in a row. Although the war was in full swing, the dignitaries and nobles who were far away in the jade capital were not afraid of the Chu army, and always believed that after the winter, the Chu people, who were not hardy, would withdraw their troops on their own.

And among the anecdotes of noble people, there are two things that are talked about the most.

First, the king of Song was young and had not yet established a prince, so he actually began to build a mausoleum with great fanfare.

The second is that a hermit has recently come to Yudu, who not only has excellent medical skills, but also brings many peerless calligraphy, paintings, and ancient scores.

Many people have seen the hermit, and many more have seen his paintings and calligraphy sold at a high price.

In the evening of this day, Liu Jing, the king of Song, traveled alone in civilian clothes and walked aimlessly in Yudu. When it snowed heavily, he walked into a wine shop, but he didn't know that sitting in the southeast corner of the wine shop was Liu Ying, who was disguised and disguised.

The diners in the wine shop had not yet noticed the arrival of the King of Song, and were talking with relish, talking about the hermit who was skilled in medicine and worth a lot of money—

"Whose prodigy is that, you say? is only seven or eight years old, and his medical skills are so clever! ”

"If it is said that he is a child who has rolled up the treasures of the family and traveled away from home, it is not impossible. But dare to ask who can have so many rare treasures? ”

"The Zhuge family of the Chu State?"

"That kid has a Shu accent, how can he be a member of the Zhuge family? Besides, when Qi Wei returned to the country, King Wei estimated that he had already used up the savings of the Zhuge family. Today's Zhuge family must be just an empty shell! ”

"That's right, I only heard that the Zhuge family has money, but I didn't hear that their family is also proficient in medical skills."

"Didn't that kid cure you of your old headaches? You didn't ask him what his name was, where he lived, and who he studied with? ”

"Of course I asked. He said that his surname was Xue, and his single name was Fan, and he was prosperous. ”

"The Shu man surnamed Xue has excellent medical skills, is he the child of the medicine king Xue Jiuming?"

"I only heard that the medicine king Xue Jiuming has a beautiful daughter called Xue Yiren, I never heard that he has such a young son! Besides, Yaowangshan is in the business of selling poisons, when did he show great mercy and cure diseases and save people? ”

"The surname Xue in the world is not only the family in Yaowang Mountain."

"Listen to me! He said that he lived in Qiandang Mountain in the Yuling Tomb of Chu State, and studied under the Xuanxuan Daoist in the Huiling Temple of Qiandang Mountain. ”

"I've heard of the Huiling Temple of Qiandang Mountain in Chu State! Many fortune tellers claim to be the Taoists who studied under the Huiling Temple. ”

"Does that kid know how to tell fortunes?"

"He said he would."

"Then did you let him do it? Is it true or not? ”

"He said that after treating me, he couldn't tell my fortune again, this is the rule of the teacher."
