Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Slow Thought
Wei Yingpeng looked at Feng Xuanyu in a trance, and sneered: "The prince has unparalleled strategy, eradicating dissidents, and winning the hearts of the people and the people, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone!" How? In the lower district, how honored is it to be able to enter the eyes of the famous king? ”
Feng Xuanyu squinted, his face expressionless, but his eyes swept with deep meaning.
Dechun took a step forward and sighed helplessly: "You have too many obsessions in your heart, if you don't try to let go, this kind of torture will only hurt you." ”
"Why aren't you so insistent?" Wei Yingpeng got up slowly, his expression was sad, "I miss you in my heart, and I would rather abandon the heroic spirit of killing the enemy, and only protect the time of your life." I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and cruel to me? Eldest princess, what you want has been obtained from me. And why bother to wronged your mind with hypocrisy? ”
Dechun smiled bitterly and sighed faintly, in fact, she had always been reluctant to have any entanglement with him, just for fear of incurring his resentment. Moreover, her heart has always only been in the position of Qingyuanhou, even if he abandons her and leaves her alone. She misses him and complains about him, but she can't let him go, and is willing to suffer for him all her life. Probably what the world says, I don't know where the love originates? This is the case with the reincarnation on the Sansheng Stone! As for Wei Yingpeng who has been waiting silently for half her life, she has no intention of being in love, and she only treats him as warm as a relative, and has no intention of going over. But when she saw that he was in deep pain and depression, she still felt sorry and distressed.
Feng Xuanyu stared at him for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have time to complain here, why don't you go with this king, and the doubts and resentments in your heart will naturally be solved!" With that, he turned away with his hands in his hands.
Wei Yingpeng looked at Feng Xuanyu's back blankly, and wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but his throat was choked like a thorn and he couldn't speak, and his footsteps sent the ghost envoy to follow him.
Dechun watched them go out in a daze, surprised and confused for a while, but she believed that this seemingly indifferent and arrogant seventh brother was actually capable of not being underestimated, and he must have a way to calm Wei Yingpeng down. Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty in her heart
Feng Xuanyu took Wei Yingpeng to the prison.
The dark, damp ground smelled of corrosion, and the cold and suffocating air permeated the gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
After being guarded by many checkpoints, he finally came to the door of a dark cell, and the warden who led the way lit a torch and said, "Lord Wang, this is where the traitor Wei Yinglei is imprisoned!" As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the chain and pushed open the cell door.
A rotten stench came to his nose, and Wei Yingpeng's stomach was churning and almost vomiting. It was only when the warden put the torch in the fire bucket on the wall that he saw a hideous-looking man, with a tattered robe, his hands hung in the air by thick chains, and his feet shackled in place.
This person is Wei Yinglei!
He was talking to words, he was confused, and he didn't know what he was muttering. Unaware of their arrival, he seems to be immersed in his own mental space.
Wei Yingpeng's heart was shocked, his fists were clenched, he approached him step by step tremblingly, stopped in front of him, gritted his slightly trembling teeth, and stared at him in amazement: Is this the unruly younger brother? He was ruthless, and framed him many times, and then put him to death. Because in his eyes, this brother, who is more than ten years older than him, is weak and indecisive, always dragging his feet in things, and is not decisive and ruthless. He was always afraid that he would ruin his ambitious dreams, but their father, who was no less vicious and sinister, prevented his younger son's intrigues and tricks again and again, and saved the eldest son's life. Just because he values his tactical formation, he is mysterious, and he can help him to achieve great ambitions and great achievements in the future.
Wei Yingpeng smiled sadly and bitterly.
Wei Yinglei's eyes were bloodshot, and his face exuding a cool aura, and he ignored Wei Yingpeng, focusing on muttering to himself.
Wei Yingpeng shook his head in disbelief, gasping for breath, what kind of power could destroy the mind of this violent and vicious man?
Feng Xuanyu approached behind him, glanced at Wei Yinglei who was in a state of madness, and said coldly: "Ever since he saw the dragon robe in the bedroom of the underground palace, he has fallen into a state of madness, although he sealed his acupoints, he still couldn't stop the expansion of his inner demons and burst the blood vessels and meridians. ”
Robes? Wei Yingpeng turned his head in shock, staring at Feng Xuanyu in amazement.
Feng Xuanyu's frosty face made Wei Yingpeng instantly understand, he let out a long sigh, and asked in a hoarse voice, "He... Where is it? ”
Feng Xuanyu motioned to the warden to lead the way, and the three of them exited the cell where Wei Yinglei was held, and with the lead of the warden, they passed through a dark prison passage, and by the light of the fire, they could see the closed copper doors and iron-walled cells on both sides of the prison passage. The airtight bronze door was wrapped with thick and strong chains, and I wonder if there were prisoners inside. The silence was as dull as death, but it was terrifying and breathless.
Wei Yingpeng staggered and staggered, as if predicting what he would see later, and soon arrived at a cell with an iron wall of copper doors at the end, where the three of them stopped, and the warden was unlocking and loosening the chains.
The faint wheezing sound was quick and rough, and the low roar of a beast in the ears was terrifying. As the bronze door opened, the firelight illuminated the pitch-black cell, and a phantom shadow was reflected in the iron wall, like a ghostly ghost.
Wei Yingpeng shuddered, staring at the person in the middle of the cell, with chains piercing bones and hanging hands and feet. His clothes were ragged, his hair was scattered, his eyes were as fierce as copper bells, his nostrils were full of breath, and his teeth were gritted and gurgling.
"Daddy!" Wei Yingpeng staggered to him, and instantly burst into tears.
"Whew... Hearing this, Wei Xiangguo raised his head and let out a terrifying scream, and when he saw Wei Yingpeng clearly, he roared angrily: "Rebel! Unfilial son! ”
Wei Yingpeng stumbled to his knees, hugged Wei Xiangguo's hanging feet in pain, although he was locked by chains and shackles, he still kicked his legs hard, kicked Wei Yingpeng away, and shouted: "Get out!" Bastard things, for the sake of a woman, bury a good future, and fall willingly. Now you have lost the hard work of the ancestors of the Wei family, and now you have got your wish, holding the woman you have in mind, asking for credit from the monarch you have taken refuge in, and laying the foundation for you to wag your tail and beg for the glory of thousands of lives of the Wei family! ”
The prison warden was playing with his mouth to reprimand angrily, Feng Xuanyu waved his hand to let him withdraw, and coldly watched Wei Xiangguo roar angrily, Wei Yingpeng fell to the ground and cried bitterly. After a long time, he coughed lightly, waking up the angry Wei Xiangguo to stare at him.
"Feng Xuanyu!" Wei Xiangguo twisted his suspended body frantically, the chains rang, and he grinned and burst out with hatred.
Feng Xuanyu paced over and looked at him calmly, "Do you think he betrayed the Wei family and caused your plan to fail?" Do you think the king captured you and made you lose everything? Actually, you're wrong! It is you who really made the Wei family bear infamy and lose their lives! ”
"Shut up! You... You are talking nonsense! "Wei Xiangguo raised his head and roared, flying and dancing, like a fierce god in the underworld, unrecognizable." Feng Xuanyu, you don't want to show off your tongue in front of the old man! ”
"What? The appearance of a country is so vulnerable? Don't dare to face the fate of being defeated and being imprisoned? Feng Xuanyu walked gracefully in the white of the moon, walked around Wei Xiangguo back and forth, and finally stopped in front of him, Wei Yingpeng's side.
"Humph! The old man worked hard for Da Yue, stuck to the border, conquered the battlefield, and galloped to defend the territory, how could the old man of Emperor Entropy be comparable? Wei Xiangguo stopped writhing his body and said with contempt: "Although you are resourceful, if you fight on the battlefield, you are also a small skill of carving insects, and you may not have won the old man's 80,000 elite soldiers!" In this way, let's ask the big moon world, who can compete with the old man? ”
"That makes sense!" Feng Xuanyu nodded in agreement, and then changed his words: "It's just that your exploits on the battlefield are a nightmare of the Wei family that has caused an unwarranted disaster, when the blood will flow like a river, the wild beasts in the wilderness will be torn apart and devoured, and the bones will be gone." Since then, the Dayue Wei family has been removed from the name, and there will never be a return to the surname, erasing the glory of the ancestors of the Wei family for generations, and you are the sinner of the ages! ”
Wei Yingpeng's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked up at Feng Xuanyu in panic, and a scene appeared in front of him: on the slaughterhouse, the executioner's knife rose and fell, blood was splashed all over the ground, the old and the young were lonely, trembling with weak bodies, trembling with horror and astringency, watching their relatives die in Huangquan, and they were about to die in the bloody field.
"No!" Wei Yingpeng was terrified, and a terrifying scene was intertwined in front of him, and the pair of desperate and frightened eyes stared at him, as if they were crying out wordlessly, begging for help and mercy.
Wei Xiangguo raised his head and laughed, chattering and laughing like a Rakshasa of the underworld, "So what? They are members of the Wei family, so they should bear the honor and disgrace of the family, and go to the mourning of the whole clan at the cost of their personal lives! ”
"It's just madness, at the cost of thousands of lives, paving your treasonous ambitions?" Feng Xuanyu's eyes were sharp, staring at Wei Xiangguo's arrogant face, and said coldly: "Since you have vain the lives of your clansmen, then what kind of face do you have to ask others?" ”
Wei Xiangguo was stunned for a moment, and then snorted angrily, "Feng Xuanyu, you use the Heart Attack Technique, just to make this unforgivable rebel who is guilty of sins and unforgivable betray the Wei family with peace of mind, and become a pawn that you can use and a puppet at your mercy." ”
"Wei Xiangguo, this is wrong!" Feng Xuanyu sneered, "Why do you think so much of the Commander of the Guard? He was once the leader of the Great Moon and the mighty Yangwu General. Wen Taowu is strategic, good at tactics to set up formations, lure the enemy into the net, and his strategy is victorious in a hundred battles. With such wisdom and bravery, how can he be at the mercy of others and become a chess piece? ”
Wei Xiangguo was furious, wheezing, glaring, eager to pounce and tear it up.
Wei Yingpeng got up from the ground, his eyes flashed with hope, it turned out that he still had a heavy load on his shoulders!
"Although my insect carving skills are not to be feared, they can be recorded in the history of the Great Moon through the ages, to quell a turbulent war for the Great Moon, and to avoid the lives of innocent people. But your ambition and strategy are in vain for human life, and you sacrifice your ambition with blood. "Feng Xuanyu said loudly.
Wei Xiangguo struggled angrily, unable to break free from the bone-piercing chain, but caused the bones to be in pain and almost faint.
"Lord Wang!" Wei Yingpeng stared at Feng Xuanyu with blazing eyes, "If possible, the last general is willing to die, so that the lives of the clansmen will not be harmed!" ”
Feng Xuanyu stared at him, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Commander Wei wants to use one to a thousand?" Inevitably self-inflicted? ”
Wei Yingpeng clenched his fists with both hands, and said forcefully: "Even if the last general bears his own burden, the prince has a way to protect the lives of thousands of people in the clan from death." ”
"Oh!" Feng Xuanyu's indifferent face was indifferent, but a wicked smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. "Commander Wei trusts this king so much, and is not afraid of becoming a pawn and a puppet at the mercy of others?"
"If you can save the lives of your people, what will you fear? Never give up! Wei Yingpeng bowed down on one knee, extremely sincere, righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he had changed someone.
"Feng Xuanyu!" Wei Xiangguo roared with anger, maybe at this moment he realized that he had brought Wei Yingpeng to the prison for his true purpose!
Feng Xuanyu glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of mockery, turned around and strode out of the cell.
Wei Yingpeng looked at Wei Xiangguo deeply and resolutely left.
"Rebel! Unfilial son! Wei Xiangguo's roar resounded through the cell, echoing with despair and depression, he raised his head and let out a bitter laugh, filled with decadence on the verge of death, gradually weakened to the point of muttering: "Feng Xuanyu, you have won!" ”
Leaving the prison, Wei Yingpeng followed Feng Xuanyu every step of the way.
Feng Xuanyu walked slowly with his hands in his hands, pondering without saying a word along the way, walked to the princess's mansion, stopped and stared for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "If you are exempted from the lives of thousands of people in the Wei clan, it is okay, but there is one thing, this king needs you to agree." ”
"Just play to exempt the clansmen from being implicated, give up their lives in vain, and they will end up in the soup." Wei Yingpeng hurriedly stepped forward, "Lord Wang, please speak!" ”
"Taking away half of the talisman in your hand and probing the situation in your army is the king's intention, not the eldest sister's wish." Feng Xuanyu's eyes were deep, "The eldest sister has been lonely for half her life, hidden in the world, just to cultivate her mind quietly and not disturb the world." This king doesn't want her to be depressed because of this, and feel guilty about you, and it is difficult to feel at ease. ”
Wei Yingpeng followed Feng Xuanyu's eyes and looked at the closed door of the mansion, and smiled bitterly: "She is elegant and ethereal, leisurely and kind, but she has entered the world to cultivate and cross the boundless sea of suffering." I wasted half my life, years and years, although I didn't have a chance to dream, but I couldn't bear to blame her, and still pity her. ”
Feng Xuanyu retracted his gaze, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "That's very good! Survive thousands of hardships and understand thousands of pains. Let's go, this king will accompany you for a leisurely time today, and it will not be in vain for you to be a hero! ”
Wei Yingpeng smiled heartily, as if he had returned to the heroic cloud of the high-spirited and ambitious Yangwu General in the past.
On the second floor of the tavern, Wei Yingpeng put aside his usual elegant demeanor and raised his glass.
Feng Xuanyu pondered leisurely, watched Wei Yingpeng's cup overflowing, drank heavily, and waited for him to be slightly drunk before he spoke: "Commander Wei doesn't have to be so wasted and negative, he can only be reborn in Nirvana. ”
Wei Yingpeng put down his wine glass, looked up and said: "The prince is incisive, and the end will be deeply affected, and outsiders talk about the prince's overcoming of thorns and thorns, and the legend of the gods." The last general thinks that the prince is merciful and kind, but it is just unfathomable and unpredictable. The strange thing is that the prince has always been arrogant and indifferent, giving people a feeling of arrogance and unruliness, but it turns out to be so affectionate? People of ordinary temperament? ”
The wine glass that Feng Xuanyu sent to his mouth was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were deep in thought, although Wei Yingpeng was vain about drinking, it hit his mind like a pinpoint. I don't know when, the warmth of his relatives that he once disdained, but now it haunts people's hearts. He once despised the chivalrous courage of his heart, but now he is honest with the heroic pride of sympathy.
It turned out that he had really changed, transformed into a different state of mind, integrated into the world, no longer arrogant and alone, no longer cold and angry.
Feng Xuanyu's eyes were deep and a little confused, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Wei Yingpeng had fallen drunk on the table. He summoned Xiao Er and helped Wei Yingpeng into the wing room to rest, maybe a drunk may not be able to relieve a thousand sorrows, but it can soothe the grief in his heart.
Feng Xuanyu stepped out of the tavern and smiled indifferently, the reason why he had good intentions was only because there was a softest place in his heart covered by love, which warmed his cold heart and melted his frosty heart.
Sincerely! People of ordinary temperament! He chewed Wei Yingpeng's words carefully, and the delicate face appeared in front of him, smiling, elegant, and light. His smile was even stronger, and his handsome face was as bright as the sun and shining brightly.
