Chapter 16: White Jade
Thirteen Sons...... I did everything I had to do, what else did he ask me for? I stood up in confusion, and was pushed and shoved by the silver-armored man and led out of the dark room, and when I walked out of the dark room, the silver-armored man did not forget to remind me: "Don't think about running away, the general said, the mark on your body will always follow you, as long as the mark is there, no matter how far you go, she can bring you back......" After he finished speaking, he also stuffed me with a dagger, which spelled the dagger, and made people disappear......
"You know what to do." He whispered and pushed me out of the stone castle......
Outside the stone fort, the rope bridge hangs on the cliff, and the silver bell hangs on the iron lock.......
A carriage stopped in front of the bridge, and the coachman glanced at me, who was full of blood, and avoided my eyes, covering his nose from time to time. I boarded the carriage and sat on the soft and delicate cushions, listening to the bell ringing on the chain bridge......
Yes, I know what to do...... But what should and shouldn't and whether you want to be are two different things......
When the bell disappears, it means that the carriage has left the stone fort...... This is my chance...... I jumped out of the window of the carriage, landing as lightly as I could, hiding behind a large tree for safety, and watching cautiously as the coachman walked forward, unaware that I had jumped...... I breathed a sigh of relief......
At this time, it was overcast and snowing, and I turned my head, only to see a silver sword across my neck......
"Where do you want to go?"
It's white jade...... Her silver mask resembled the head of a beast, and two small black holes opened out of her eyes, which were terrifying...... As the silver-armored man said, she is haunted, and she can find her wherever I go......
"General...... What the hell do I owe you, I give it back to you, you give me back my freedom......" I looked up at her, my gaze determined......
"Huh...... Your life is mine, whether you live or die, where you live and where you die, I have the final say! ”
"General! My memories are all given by you...... Is that right? I lifted my arm, almost the entire arm covered with scales of various colors, "For so many years, I always felt like my soul was wandering...... I always felt like I wasn't me...... So every year I pick up a scale and stick it on my right arm...... Do you want to count how many scales there are? I slowly stood up, not afraid that the sword would stab my skin, "There are more than 100 scales here, why do I only have twenty years of memory!" And it's all your control and cruelty to me! ”
I complained, trying to break the boat...... I don't want to be her dog like this anymore, I want to live with dignity, and only people with dignity deserve to be with Spring and Autumn......
Bai Yu was furious, she put away the blade of her sword and struck me hard in the face with the hilt of her sword, the pain was like a cone...... I don't care if there is bloodshed, I don't care, whether she gives me an answer or not......
"I saved your life, don't take an inch...... Go to Zhaoqingcheng obediently and do what you have to do! ”
I smiled wryly and took out the dagger from my arms, looked up at her sarcastically: "As a human minister, you told me that this is the right thing to do?" ”
"You want to betray me?"
"You didn't expect me to betray you when you brought me back from Jiangnan, didn't you expect me to betray you!"
She suddenly reached out and grabbed my throat so hard that I didn't feel any pain, only that my head was swollen and I couldn't open my eyes......
"What are you, my plans won't change a single inch because of you...... You're right, I did erase your memory, and you see it as a memory of life......"
I clenched my fists in hatred, wishing I could kill her right now...... All the things she does have a purpose, good for me, bad for me, good for Beichu, bad for Beichu...... Her ambitions don't stop at Jiangbei......
Eventually, my anger turned into a mockery: "Huh...... If I'm nothing, why do you keep me based on your resolute character......" I looked at her and smiled coldly.
At this time, she let go of my throat and put her hand on my forehead, and her nails stabbed my forehead, and I couldn't move......
"You really have a fate with that spring and autumn, even if you don't miss each other, you will meet...... But what can be done...... You still forget him, because I want you to forget him...... Only if you don't remember him at all, when you start, you won't hesitate or suffer......" She slowly approached me, smiling weirdly, "Forget, isn't it?" It won't hurt, won't it? Isn't it good to be a beast? She suddenly withdrew her hand, and a drop of blood splashed on the tip of my nose and cheeks, and I was stunned, and my heart was filled with sorrow, but I didn't know why I was sad......
She squeezed my shoulders and said to me in a tone of pity, "Go ahead...... went and asked for the life of the thirteenth son...... The royal family is protected by the stars, and if the thirteenth prince dies, the royal family of Northern Chu will completely collapse......"
I turned around, wading through the thick snow, and she returned to the most important place in my mind...... I remember what she told me.
At this time, the carriage that had gone away came back again, and the carriage came to a sudden stop in front of me, and the coachman hurriedly came down and said to me, "When did you come down?" ”
I glanced back, the white jade disappeared, and I was about to say something, but the coachman said a little impatiently: "Come on, get in the car quickly, don't let the city lord wait!" ”
"Castle lord......" I whispered and got into the carriage, the coachman was in a hurry to get away, the carriage was shaking, and I clenched the dagger hidden in my sleeve.
"What are you talking about, city lord, isn't it the thirteenth prince who wants to see me?" I asked the coachman through the curtain.
"The thirteenth prince has been established, and the king has already named him the lord of Zhaoqing City."
"How early?"
"About five years, right? Five years ago, when the mother of the thirteenth prince died, he asked to leave the palace, and the king gave him the Zhaoqing City, the closest to the stone castle. And...... The thirteen sons are unparalleled in their talents, and they are deeply loved by the king, and they are different from other sons since they were children, and the emperor personally gives them the title and ......
"Heng...... Heng Gongzi ...... In other words, the Thirteenth Prince does not exist at all...... "Five years ago, I met the Thirteenth Prince, Dongfang, and he kept telling me that he was the Thirteenth Prince, and the name of the Thirteenth did not exist in Northern Chu at all...... I went to Jiangnan Tianxiang to die in exchange for 300,000 troops in his place, and I was not replacing him at all...... The real Heng Gongzi was not implicated in any way, and the thirteenth who died was not him, but the real me...... I also lied for the safety of Beichu and Dongfangcong...... There has never been any deception, I did not die on behalf of others, they sent me to die, and if I had not been able to die and come back to life, I would have always thought that my death was generous......
The wind blew the curtain of the palanquin, and I saw a city, brightly lit...... Outside the towering gate of that city, stood a tall man dressed in white and holding a white hosta....... The carriage stopped at this moment.......
