Chapter 159: Confession (String 1)
Emperor Dacang died by my sword.
Looking at his terrifying and desperate dying gaze, the dark red blood gushing from his chest, his twitching limbs, and his tattered dragon robe, my heart was inexplicably stirred and sad.
None of this was my intention, it was them, the masters of the excitement, relief, indifference, and cunning eyes of those who were excited, relieved, indifferent, and cunning in the magnificent blood-colored temple, who were single-handedly plotting, or rather multi-handed, conspiring and uniting.
When I first learned about this, I was twelve years old, and it was the third year that Zhanli had taken me to live in Chengluofu, Yunzhou. One night, some of his intimate conversations with Luo Chengyu happened to be overheard by me.
Although it is only a few words that are not very clear, a twelve-year-old boy who is not stupid is enough to understand some things from the fragmented words such as Xia Nanchao, Fuguo, orphans, and Xia Xian.
I was terrified.
It's not that I haven't read the history books, the alternation of imperial power is indeed the success of the king and the defeat of the king, and I don't see the end of many rebels, and I don't believe that I Xia Xian, or Hu Axian in their mouths, will be one of the lucky few.
I only hate why fate has arranged this kind of anxious mission on me, I Xia Xian has been just an ordinary child since I was a child, and I just want to be an ordinary person. I know I don't have any special strengths other than being better than other children, and to be honest, I'm actually quite afraid of death.
I made a decision that day - pretend I don't know anything, and how long I can pretend to be.
But this matter has always bothered me, I don't dare to make other friends, I am afraid that they will one day find out their background, except for one person, that is Luo Chengyu's only son Luo Feng.
He was born on the same day, the same year, the same month, and I will bear all the glorious and disgraceful consequences of my father's great cause. I thought that maybe he was the only one who wouldn't betray me, after all, his father was also one of the masterminds in this matter, and maybe he would be the only friend in my life.
We spent five years together as happy classmates, studying together and practicing martial arts. Luo Feng is very smart, no matter how much martial arts he has grown up with me, he is also a benevolent and righteous young man, no matter what trouble we have together, he will take full responsibility alone, and will not let Mr. and Zhanli punish me. Actually, we are the same age, but he has always taken care of me like a brother who loves my younger brother and treats me well. Life has this confidant, what more can the husband ask for.
Later, when I was fifteen years old, I was taken back to Wuping County by Zhanli and started to catch fast. Leaving Luo Feng and the Luo family, the things he heard at the age of twelve gradually faded away.
It wasn't until two years later, when Luo Feng was kidnapped, that I went to the bandits' den to rescue him, and because he was moved, he confessed to me what his father had revealed to him. I was shocked, but I told him clearly that I hoped never to do it, and he promised me that he would never talk about it again.
After that, Xiao Yuan actually refused to send troops to save us, Zhanli must have brought the news, I guess there must have been a conflict between them about the specific plan for the restoration of the country, and Xiao Yuan may have planned to give up the Xia Nanchao, or give up me, the orphan of the Hu family.
We met a girl from Orion Village in the bandits' den, Liang Bingruo, it was the first time in my life that I was tempted by a girl, but I also knew Luo Feng's thoughts. Her birthday also coincides with ours, and I guess that's fate. But after knowing her, my life has become full of ups and downs, great sorrows and joys, and the joy with her is as great as Tarzan, and the sorrow she has brought me seems to be heavier than Tarzan. I will never forget the despair in my heart when I saw her saber fall from the edge of the cliff on the cliff, it was a pain that I could not love, I think I didn't fully believe she was dead at that time, and if I had seen her fall with my own eyes, I would have jumped with it. It is true that I am a person who is afraid of death, but if she is gone, then living is a thousand times more terrible than dying.
Liang Bingruo and Luo Feng were ordered to find the jade seals and treasures of the Southern Xia Dynasty, and a holy decree was passed to Liang Bingruo of Lanruo Temple. That night, Zhanli had a long talk with me all night, and he asked me to go with him, saying that the jade seal was a big matter, and I must take it back in person, so that I could serve the public in the future.
How could I be willing to participate in this matter, the next day, I hurried to find Luo Feng overnight. He didn't know many of the details I had learned, and I naturally didn't mention it, and I hoped that neither he nor Liang Bingruo would get involved in this matter. But then Liang Bingruo came, they were about to set off, what else could I do, I couldn't bear them, I could only follow the road, I only hoped that I would never find that jade treasure.
Xiao Yuan sent a pair of his own children to supervise our treasure hunt, I had always wondered why he only arranged for his own children to do such a dangerous and difficult thing, until I saw the true face of Na Guang and Xiao Yuan, I suddenly realized.
On the way to the Snowy Fog Icefield, we encountered many unexplained things, but no matter how strange they were, they could not compare to the shock of what I encountered in the Red Armor Corps.
I don't know when I was able to understand the language of those red-armored soldiers, and I was told that the Jade Seal of the Xia Southern Dynasty could control the entire Tricolor Legion of the Snow Fog Ice Field, and these warriors who were both human-like and human-like could easily destroy Da Cang.
And I haven't decided whether I want to do it yet.
But the man gave me a hint of the location of the jade seal, he was dressed in a magnificent red armor and a mask, and I could only see my own shadow in his long, narrow eyes, and I believed him in a ghostly way.
I asked, how do you control the Tricolor Legion after you get the jade seal? He said, put the jade seal in the hands of a stone carving in the underground tomb of the Xia Nan Dynasty, and the stone carving was very recognizable, because he looked exactly like me.
I was still hesitant and conflicted, and the man urged me every day, and he said, if I don't do this, he will go and tell Feng Nian that whoever of us gets the Jade Seal to control the Tricolor Legion will be the new king of the vast continent on the other side of the Death Sea. So I made up my mind, left a book for Feng Nian, and left alone.
During that time, I kept wondering if Feng Nian really had amnesia, whether he knew about his father Xiao Yuan's conspiracy, maybe he didn't know anything, maybe he knew it.
Although I don't want to return to the country, I am Hu Axian, and I am the descendant of the Xia Southern Dynasty. If the Great Firmament lasts like this for thousands of years, it will be fine, but how can I watch others seize the throne in the name of my ancestors?
After all, Xiao Fengnian and I look very similar, if he goes back with the jade seal and the army, everyone will believe that he is Hu Axian.
I suddenly understood Xiao Yuan's good intentions.
There was a hidden underground crypt in the place where the man told me, and there was a stone sculpture in it that looked exactly like mine, but I didn't know where the jade seal was. I searched around the stone carving, and even opened the sarcophagus behind it, there was no jade seal in it, not even bones, but it felt very warm inside, and I was cold and sleepy at that time, and I actually fell asleep in it. However, when I woke up again, I saw the girl in her sleep.
After getting the jade seal, looking at Liang Bingruo beside me, I hesitated again. I want to destroy this thing and stay with her forever in the Snow Mist Ice Field or Shenmu Island. Shenmu Island has the fragrance of birds and flowers that make people feel happy, but God won't let us go, and the passage is blocked. And the snow fog ice field, she doesn't want to stay here for the rest of her life, she is still thinking about her father who was under house arrest by Xiao Yuan, I really don't seem to have a choice.
That weird Jasmine, they must have thought her weird, but I wasn't so weird when she showed up in the Snowy Fog Ice Plain to take me back to the Firmament. She once appeared on the boat of the Sea of Outlaw with Luo Feng, she is a daughter's family, and she can even be proficient in controlling thousands of ships, coming and going freely in the Sea of Death, and she knows Luo Feng again, I think she must be the person who Zhanli once told me, the power of the Luo family.
The money and food needed for their grand cause are all prepared by the Luo family, and the Luo family's power is large and hidden, and it is said that even Luo Feng is not very clear. The most incredible thing is that the Luo family hides countless large ships in many strange whirlpools in the sea of death, which are prepared for the great cause of restoring the country.
Jasmine took me back to the sky by boat across the Sea of Death, and I didn't believe we were on the same boat as before, because I saw it sink with my own eyes. I asked Jasmine, she smiled vaguely and said nothing, maybe the people who engage in conspiracy are like this, the Luo family, the Xiao family, aren't they all conspiracy organizations?
But when she came back, she suddenly disappeared overnight, and disappeared with my jade seal.
I originally wanted to hand over the jade seal to Emperor Dacang in exchange for Daddy Liang's freedom, and then find a way to ask Zhanli to contact the Luo family to arrange a boat to send Liang Zhaosheng and me to the Snow Fog Ice Plain to pick up Liang Bingruo back.
Before I left, I promised her that she would bring her father to pick her up, I am from Xia Nanchao, she has finished the wedding with me, she is my wife, of course I should take her father to the Snow Fog Ice Field to pick her up, instead of tossing and fighting for the throne.
Besides, I didn't follow the man's instructions to control the Tricolor Legion of the Snow Mist Icefield. Without foreign aid, can Zhan leave Xiao Yuanluo's family, can he really defeat the Dacang Emperor?
But Jasmine stole my jade seal, and I broke down, and I messed everything up. Leaving Liang Bing is the biggest wrong choice I have made in my life, but I can't regret it.
Without the jade seal, I can't save Liang Zhaosheng, and there is no way to go back to the Snow Fog Ice Field, do I really want to never see Liang Bingruo?
In desperation, I told Zhanli everything and begged him to contact the Luojia fleet to take me to the ice field to pick up Liang Bingruo, but he didn't say anything, but two months later, the sky changed.
It is true that I underestimated the strength of these conspirators, who defeated the royal army and stormed the palace.
I was inspired by the crowd to break into the palace, and there was a scuffle above the main hall, and the young emperor struck me deadly from behind, and I turned around and stabbed me to the ground.
This is a unique skill passed on to me by Zhan Li, he said, in this life, you must always be careful behind your back.
I don't like his arguments, but what happened after the emperor's death made me understand how wise this Zhanli head catcher who raised me to grow up is.
Xiao Yuan's soldiers launched a surprise attack on the soldiers of the Luo family's forces in a flash of lightning, and the two armies suddenly changed from comrades fighting side by side to rivals fighting for power, and the entire palace was in smoke, with piles of bloody corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere.
However, since Zhanli has been teaching me to be careful behind my back, how can I not have the slightest defense against Xiao Yuan? The soldiers of Xiao Yuan's faction were soon at a disadvantage, and were outflanked and besieged by the soldiers of the Luo family faction who were ambushed around the palace, and finally all of them were surrendered.
The cunning Xiao Yuan held Liang Zhaosheng hostage in the shadow of the sword, he used the knife against Liang's father's neck, standing at the gate of the palace, he shouted at me: "Guang Greed said, if you are with Liang Bing, then you want to watch your father-in-law die under my knife?"
I said, "Let my dad go." ”
He said, "Let me go." ”
I said, "You go." ”
The generals got out of the way, but they all glared at me with displeasure, and I thought they might want to kill me at this moment.
Zhan Li came over and said to me hatefully: "So many brothers who supported you and died for you are still lying here, you actually let go of their enemies for the sake of a Liang Zhaosheng!"
My heart sank, and I was anxious.
Seeing that my face changed, the surrounding Luo soldiers all showed joy, clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared at Xiao Yuan, who was holding Liang Zhaosheng hostage slowly, and was ready to attack one by one.
Suddenly, Zhanli shouted: "Kill Xiao Yuan!"
The soldiers shouted excitedly, but they did not come forward, they all looked at me, waiting for my confirmation of the order.
The loyalty of the Luo family to me is unimaginable, Zhan Li said, that is because the ancestors of the Luo family were nobles of the Xia Southern Dynasty, and they were deeply favored by the kings of Xia Nan in the past dynasties, and the people of the Xia Southern Dynasty were the most gracious, so he never doubted the success of the Luo family's plan.
I hesitated, never before in my life.
Zhan Li said again: "Xia Xian, have you forgotten how he forced you to promise him to be Xiao Ling'er in the future? You pretended to promise him, and promised to kill Liang Zhaosheng after success." Even so, he still doesn't believe you, and today he wants to destroy us and make his son Xiao Fengnian the emperor. Do you know that the woman named Jasmine may be the spy planted by Xiao Yuan, she deliberately tricked you back, took the jade seal to the snow mist ice field to Xiao Fengnian, and then Xiao Fengnian took the jade seal, controlled the tricolor army, and let the blue armor soldiers swim into the sea of desperation to seize our ships, and then come here together to seize the throne! Xiao Fengnian has a jade seal, an army, and Hu Axian's god-like face, and everyone in the world will recognize him as the king! At that time, you and Liang Bingruo, will there still be a way to live?"
Yes, Xiao Yuan can't live, he lives, Liang Bingruo and I, and many, many others, will die......
"Kill Xiao Yuan, kill Xiao Yuan, kill Xiao Yuan......"
The whole palace was shouting.
I closed my eyes, looked at the sky, and nodded.
The whole palace boiled, and with a roar of anger and excitement, they rushed up, and countless sharp weapons were smashed at the two people who were clinging to them......
The bodies of Xiao Yuan and Liang Zhaosheng were carried to the ground in front of me, and I felt the liquid in my eyes gurgling uncontrollably, because I saw that the blood holes on Liang's father's body were all from the weapons of the Luo soldiers, and there was not a single scratch on his neck, and there was no trace of blood on the dagger in Xiao Yuan's hand......
