Chapter 131: How to live up to the rivers and lakes
Li Zhenchen's deep gaze finally dispelled the doubts in his heart when he heard her last words, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
As soon as the words fell, he grabbed Su Liruo's hand and walked out of the room, walked along the corridor, and said in a low voice: "Keep up, don't look down!"
Su Liruo's heart sank, and there was a roar of tearing and killing in her ears, and the sound of sharp weapons made her can't help but squint. Through the gap between the fences of the corridor, there was chaos, and the sword light and sword shadow were quickly killed, and the fists and palms fought like lightning speed.
Su Liruo couldn't help but tremble, and the scene at the winter banquet appeared in front of him, which was full of blood and heavy killings. Just when she was shocked, Li Zhenchen clenched her palm, and her floating steps stumbled and she was pulled into the room by him.
"How?" Li Zhenchen saw that her face was pale, clutching her chest, panting sharply, letting go of her palm, slapping over her trembling shoulders, and asking anxiously, "Are you okay?"
Su Liruo looked at him suddenly, his eyes were empty, scattered and frightened, and after a while, he was a little more comfortable, and shook his head with difficulty.
"It's not for you not to look at it!" Li Zhenchen's eyes were filled with distressed pity.
"Li Zhenchen!" Su Liruo suddenly came back to her senses and said in a panic, "Can you get them to stop killing?"
Li Zhenchen was stunned, she actually called his name, stationed at the border, he was a mighty and domineering general, and he was the god of war King Luo. It's been a long time since anyone dared to call him by his name? Li Zhenchen's deep gaze stared at her tightly, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts. But for some reason, his heart instantly swelled with unspeakable feelings, and her call was so pleasant and moving!
"You're also a person who has practiced a few tricks, why can't you see blood?" Li Zhenchen squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "It was their hand that made the first move, and we had to take it."
Su Liruo suddenly smiled bitterly, what tricks did she know? It's just that when she was a young dancer, Grandma Xi secretly taught her her the bare-palmed divine finger of her mastery, and integrated light skills into her dancing posture. Bai Guansheng was obsessed with her music spectrum, and happened to open up the second pulse of Ren Du for her, forcing out the red palm divine finger hidden in her body. Seeing that her internal strength was insufficient and her body was weak, she gave her fifty percent of her true qi in exchange for the music spectrum. Li Zhenchen, who didn't know it, thought that she had practiced martial arts and should be used to the scene of fighting and injury. In fact, the scene of the winter banquet became a nightmare of panic in her heart, and often entangled her thoughts.
Su Liruo eased her emotions, looked at his concerned eyes, and secretly thought that she might be able to move him. "But... By withdrawing those people from the border, are you making them victims of your political struggle? ”
Li Zhenchen let go of the hands that grabbed her shoulders, his face was dark, and even the pity in his eyes disappeared.
Su Liruo was secretly shocked in her heart, Li Zhenchen's fickle emotions made her even more unsure of convincing him, but she still stubbornly continued: "You said that they are all brothers who accompany you from birth to death and hardship, is it... Can you bear them to shed blood for you? ”
Li Zhenchen lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"His Royal Highness the Prince... No, Your Majesty can ignore the past suspicions, ignore the opposition of the courtiers, and save you from the capital crime, he can still be so tolerant. Why can't you let go of your hatred and shed innocent blood? Su Liruo finally understood completely at this time that Li Zhenchen had nothing more than to fight head-to-head and thwart Li Moxiao's sharpness before he withdrew. No, not only Li Moxiao, but also those courtiers who betrayed him, so he hijacked Empress Xian and left clues that could be traced, leading Li Moxiao and even the entire court minister to fall into the trap step by step.
Su Liruo was anxious, with her understanding of Li Moxiao, she learned that her mother was kidnapped by Li Zhenchen, and she would do whatever it took to fight to the death. And what Li Zhenchen wants is the result of this, the internal affairs are secretly fighting, and the government and the opposition will definitely be turbulent. This sworn killing not only gave Li Moxiao, who had not yet secured the throne, a hard blow, but also gave the neighboring countries around him who had been watching for a long time a chance to make an ambition. And this neighboring country that has an opportunity to take advantage of it should be the country that Li Zhenchen wants to take refuge in! He is bound to take advantage of the weakness and destroy the kingdom of the day.
The more Su Li thought about it, the more shocked he became: If this plan could not be curbed in time, then the entire government and opposition in the Sun Kingdom would inevitably suffer a heavy blow and collapse. Li Zhenchen is really terrible! Mingzheng... He kidnapped Empress Xian and sparked a fight to the death, with the aim of causing the royal family to suffer a crushing defeat at the cost of blood. Dark Fighting... He joined forces with his neighbors, raised troops to fight back, and wreaked havoc on destruction, at the cost of the entire Sun Kingdom that had failed him and betrayed him.
Li Zhenchen raised his head, his eyes gathered a ruthless murderous aura, and the previous look of pity was like two people, he sneered and approached her, but he was full of anger and irritability: "Do you think I... Is Li Moxiao's hypocrisy rare? The reason why Da Sun rejuvenated the country and the country was because I... The rivers and mountains that were fought for their lives in danger and fought for their lives were given to the people on the border to live and work in peace and contentment, and were not violated by the Huns. Their father and son... Why sit back and enjoy it? The ancestors of the great day, the emperor can live in it. Li Moxiao was born prosperous, rich and noble, but he did nothing and did not have any meritorious deeds. But you all think that the power belongs to him, why does he sit on the throne of the sun as an unruly, reckless and reckless prince? ”
Su Liruo frowned and retreated frequently, Li Zhenchen's gloomy and bloodthirsty eyes in front of her were terrifying and panicked, she tried her best to calm the fear in her heart, but she couldn't restrain her staggering steps.
Li Zhenchen grabbed her cuffs, grabbed her hand, looked down at her angry red eyes, approached her worldly face, and said gloomily: "I said, the emperor can not be played, but you... There can be no dissent, how? Do you still want to sing with him? ”
The anger and jealousy on her face calmed Su Liruo instead, she gasped lightly, staring at his handsome face distorted by the roar, infinitely dilated in her pupils, and became hideous, terrifying. "I've never watched other people's happiness, not mine... Nothing to ask for in your life. If I wanted to sing with him, would I live in another garden? At that time, it should have been in the Prince's Palace, and now it will be in the Imperial Palace! Saying that, Su Liruo smiled indifferently and asked, "You don't believe it?"
A quiet and faint smile instantly brushed away the bloodthirsty jealousy in his eyes and extinguished his manic anger. He gradually softened his face, looked at her with stunned eyes, and for a while, his lips squirmed, and he spit out two words with difficulty: "Believe!" As he spoke, he let go of her hand and stood up straight, with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
Su Li didn't dare to relax his tense heart, for fear that if he relaxed a little, he would collapse to the ground. In the face of Li Zhenchen, a terrible opponent, she had to be vigilant and careful at all times, so as not to anger him by speaking carelessly. Su Liruo bit her lip and supported her trembling body slightly, but she didn't say anything anymore, she lowered her eyes and let her mind slowly stabilize.
And Li Zhenchen was silent, his deep eyes stared at her for a long time and did not move away, and for a while the air seemed to be frozen and unable to circulate, which was suffocating.
A faint sound behind her startled Su Liruo's sideways eyes, and on the bed lay a woman with a pale face, she looked haggard and weak, but she couldn't hide that graceful and luxurious temperament.
She stared at Su Liruo with a pair of delicate Danfeng eyes, especially when she saw Su Liruo who turned around, her eyes couldn't help but be filled with consternation.
Kneeling beside the bed was a trembling little maid, her face full of horror and bloodlessness, and the slight sound she had just made was her.
Su Liruo was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, this is the virtuous queen kidnapped by Li Zhenchen. When she was brought into the room by Li Zhenchen, she was completely immersed in the panic of the wanton killing downstairs, and she forgot what she was doing. It seems that the conversation between her and Li Zhenchen has been heard clearly by Empress Xian, but why is she so stunned when she looks at her?
At this time, the frightened little maid choked up and trembled at Su Liruo: "Girl, help!" I'm afraid the queen can't hold on..."
"Bastard, let you serve the queen, you know how to cry and cry, what is so useless for you to do?" Li Zhenchen saw the little maid sobbing vigorously, staring irritably, and reprimanded angrily.
The little maidservant was frightened when she heard this, and she shrank by the side of the bed tremblingly, and her hands tightly grasped the hand that the virtuous queen had put on the edge of the bed.
"She's still a child, you are angry at this palace, why embarrass her!" Empress Xian held the little handmaiden's trembling little hand with her backhand, gasping and speaking with difficulty, her voice gentle and low.
Su Liruo was stunned, she didn't expect that Empress Xian would be so charitable, she was still in danger, and she would intercede for the little maid next to her. Seeing that she held the little maid girl with her backhand, she gave her a gentle smile and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay!" It's okay! ”
Li Zhenchen snorted coldly and said nothing.
The little maid was hazy with tears and didn't dare to breathe, so she just nodded vigorously.
Su Liruo looked back at Li Zhenchen, who had a gloomy face, and said softly: "She said yes, the queen is so weak, I'm afraid she can't delay!"
Li Zhenchen was silent for a long time, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "She didn't get a drop of water for a day and a night, and she wanted to use a hunger strike to resist."
Su Liruo sighed, Emperor Zhen died suddenly, and the tragic blow was not only Li Moxiao but also Empress Xian, who suddenly heard the bad news, and was already grief-stricken. Because of Li Zhenchen's agitation, Li Moxiao lost his temper in the mourning hall and fought, and the virtuous queen was filled with grief and anger, vomiting blood and fainting. Immediately after Li Zhenchen raised troops to force the palace, after the defeat, he hijacked and imprisoned the guild hall, which triggered a bloody battle. It can be seen that she has been hit hard to the point of exhaustion and exhaustion.
For a day and a night, Su Liruo thought about Li Zhenchen's words, that is to say, when Ping Xugong was scolding himself and pleading for him, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the harem and rob the virtuous queen without realizing it. But by the way, he took away the little maid who served Empress Xian, which shows that he did not harm Empress Xian, but just used her to provoke a bloody war.
Su Liruo glanced sideways at the haggard and weak Empress Xian, as well as the frightened little maid, then looked back and whispered, "Let me see, can I persuade the queen?" You don't want her to lose her life because of this toss! ”
Li Zhenchen looked at her deeply, his beard was momentary, and he bowed slightly.
Su Liruo immediately turned around, walked quickly to the bedside, leaned over slightly, and said softly: "Queen, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Your Majesty, he has lost his father and emperor on which he depends, can you bear the pain of losing his relatives again in a short period of time?" If he is depressed and depressed because of this, he will collapse..."
Empress Xian's gloomy eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and Su Liruo's words seemed to touch the fragile concern in her heart, and her dry lips squirmed slightly: "Bring the medicine!"
Su Liruo gave the little maid a look, and the little maid responded in surprise, didn't care about wiping her tears, and hurriedly got up and brought a bowl of medicinal juice from the table.
Su Liruo took the bowl and motioned to the little maid to help the virtuous queen, and waited for the little maidservant to hold the virtuous queen's shoulders and use her thin body to cushion the back, so that the virtuous queen could lean on. Su Liruo picked up the medicine scoop and fed it into the mouth of the virtuous queen spoonful, and the bowl of medicine quickly bottomed out.
Li Zhenchen's eyes never opened, looking at this scene, his brows gradually stretched, his heart swelled with inexplicable joy, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.
The little maid took out the handkerchief, gently wiped the corners of Empress Xian's mouth, and then put down Empress Xian's half-lying half-lying, took the empty bowl in Su Liruo's hand with a happy face, and smiled gratefully at her.
Su Liruo smiled slightly, shook the hand of the virtuous queen, and let go one by one.
Empress Xian stared at Su Liruo, moved her lips, and stopped talking.
Su Liruo came to Li Zhenchen, her face was cautious, and her tone was solemn: "You let them go!" If you are a hostage, I am more suitable, I will not hold you back, and I will not force you on a hunger strike. If necessary, I can help you with my skills. ”
Li Zhenchen's eyes sank, and the brows that had just stretched slowly furrowed, staring at her coldly.
Behind her, Empress Xian looked stunned and stared blankly at the little maid.
"Aren't you afraid that if you let them go, you won't have a chance to return?" Li Zhenchen asked meaningfully, "Are you really willing to stay?"
Su Liruo sighed in a low voice, with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth: "I didn't think about it that much, I just hope that the senseless killing will be stopped as soon as possible and no more innocent blood will be shed." After a pause, she raised her eyes and said, "You said you wouldn't hurt me, I believe you!"
Surprise flashed in Li Zhenchen's eyes, and her resolute tone seemed to shock the depths of his heart, stirring up his thoughts, causing him to breathe: I believe in you! I believe you! I believe you! It has always haunted his ears and penetrated his mind.
Just when Su Liruo felt hopeless, Li Zhenchen said loudly: "Someone!"
The door was pushed open in an instant, and two black-clothed people came in, respectfully grabbing their fists at Li Zhenchen and said, "General!"
Although Li Zhenchen has been dismissed from his post and demoted to a civilian, and he has degraded himself, perhaps in the hearts of these soldiers who followed him from birth to death, he is still respected in their hearts, and there is no one to replace the general who led them out of many difficulties.
"Send the virtuous queen out!" Li Zhenchen ordered: "Be careful!"
"Yes, General." The man in black had to instruct and nodded without hesitation.
Li Zhenchen glanced at her sideways, Su Liruo looked back happily, smiled at him slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The little maid was stunned, and it was not until the two men in black came to the bed that she suddenly woke up, carefully helped the virtuous queen, and staggered after the man in black.
Coming to Su Liruo's side, Empress Xian stopped, leaned on the little maid and gasped, glanced at her quietly, reached out and grabbed Su Liruo's wrist, held it tightly, and left with her head bowed.
Su Liruo looked at her back and felt that she seemed to have a lot of words to confide in, but the timing was wrong. She was meeting her for the first time, so why did she stop talking to her?
Li Zhenchen saw her stunned, and said in a low voice: "It's too late to regret it now, you... Are you sure to stay? ”
Su Liruo raised her eyes and didn't answer his inquiry, but asked, "Didn't you want to take me away?"
"It's just... I demanded, but you didn't want it! Li Zhenchen's tone was indifferent, and his face was quite calm, but his eyes were dark and unpredictable.
When Su Liruo heard this, he was stunned, and then sighed lightly: "Born as a human being... And helplessly, in the world... And Lu Wei, the government and the opposition... I am deceitful, rivers and lakes... Sword and sword, where is Ansheng in the world? After that, she smiled bitterly and said: "How many things in the world can be satisfactory and fulfill your wishes?"
"You are a clever and wonderful woman, and you have figured out my plans thoroughly!" Li Zhenchen marveled as he paced with his hands in his hands, his sturdy and upright figure stood in front of the window, and his eyes were melodious: "You got your wish to save the virtuous queen, but you put yourself in, you really don't regret it?"
"What?" Su Liruo's eyes flashed, and she blurted out in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
"You're so smart, you should know what I mean, no need to say more!" Li Zhenchen's majestic figure was thrown to the ground by candlelight, illuminating the lonely depression.
Su Liruo was shocked, and secretly pondered the meaning of his words: Could it be...
She didn't dare to think about it, what would happen if Li Zhenchen saw through her tricks?
Li Zhenchen seemed to guess that she was flustered behind her, and couldn't help but sigh faintly: "I said I wouldn't hurt you, and you also said that you believed me, what?" Can't bear it for a while? ”
Su Liruo looked at his tall back in horror, and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, and he actually saw through it? And he didn't even pierce and let go of the virtuous queen according to her wishes? What medicine is sold in his gourd?
"What's your name?" Li Zhenchen asked suddenly.
She was stunned, wondering why he asked this? Didn't he investigate her? Although she was puzzled, she calmly replied, "Su Liruo! ”
