Chapter 87: The Death of Senior Sister (2)
I sat in the room guarding my senior sister's body, Li Dongyang and Shen Xingshen came to see me, looking at my senior sister's pale face, Li Dongyang frowned: "Ah Jing......"
I came back to my senses, turned to look at them, smiled miserably, and said: "My senior sister she is the most gentle person in the world, on Kunlun Mountain, there are only cedars that have not changed for thousands of years, and it is rare to see other creatures, once she picked up an injured bird in the snow, and brought it back to be carefully healed, senior sister, she is the most timid, don't look at her cultivation as a high and strong, as if she is not afraid of heaven and earth, in fact, she is most afraid of poisonous snakes and other animals, when we used to go down the mountain to kill the demon, accidentally injured a deer by mistake, she felt guilty for a long time, Such a kind person, using the Death Spell, should be able to save life, right? ”
Li Dongyang didn't speak, and Shen Xingshen didn't speak.
I know what the reason for their hesitation is, the former senior sister refused to hurt even a bird, but later she had a lot of blood on her hands.
I understand all this, but I am unwilling, so I can only emphasize to myself: "The people killed by my senior sister are all vicious people, even if I kill them, I have done a good thing for the elimination of harm in this world, and there is no reason why I will not even help her in the sky......"
I made a lot of preparations in the other garden, trying to use the death spell to resurrect my sister, but after trying again and again, my sister still couldn't wake up.
"Impossible, impossible ......"
I finally panicked and muttered to myself in a choked voice: "Senior sister, she is such a good person, why can't she be saved, why can't she ......?"
"Auntie ......"
Li Dongyang stood aside and shouted lightly, I subconsciously looked at him, but met him with sad eyes: "Miss Xiao has suffered a lot of injustices in her life, and now she is tired and wants to rest, let's let her go, okay?" ”
I suddenly remembered that the dream I had before, Senior Sister also said that she was tired and wanted to go to Senior Brother He, and let me go on alone in the future.
I think, senior sister, she is really tired, death may be a result for her, but I ...... Still reluctant.
After going around and around, after ten years, my sister and I had just reunited, and I was about to say goodbye forever, I didn't even have time to say a few words to her, and she had no way to look at me again, she was about to leave me, leave me forever, I couldn't save her, I knew that there was a way to save her, but I still couldn't save her.
"Impossible, impossible......"
Lost his soul and sat on the ground, as soon as he looked up, he saw Shen Xingshen walking towards his senior sister's bed, he didn't say a word, but hugged his senior sister, I hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing?" ”
Shen Xingshen's movements did not hesitate, he picked up his senior sister, looked at me and said, "The death spell can't save her, and I am willing to atone for her in the rest of my life." ”
I was stunned, and instantly understood what he meant, the reason why the death spell couldn't save my senior sister was because she committed many murders during her lifetime, and Shen Xingshen still refused to give up.
But how long will this atonement take, like Li Dongyang, it will take another ten years.
Thinking of Li Dongyang, his heart suddenly ached, and he subconsciously looked at him, and suddenly understood his state of mind on Kunlun Mountain ten years ago.
"Shen Gongzi, you have sacrificed a lot for your senior sister, do you still have to spend it with her?"
Shen Xingshen said lightly: "This is fulfillment." ”
He paused, then spoke again: "At least don't let her die with her sins." ”
“……”
I was silent for a moment, tempting to ask him, "Is it worth it?" ”
In the past few days in the other garden, the senior sister was lying in the room to recuperate, Shen Xingshen stayed outside, not saying a word, not moving, the senior sister didn't even know about his existence, let alone know, the person who took her down Kunlun Mountain with her life and cultivation was the young man who was locked up in the Captive Void Tower and preached with her.
I called him into the house, but he didn't move, and I wasn't even allowed to mention his existence in front of my senior sister, I was very puzzled, why did he pay so much for his senior sister, why didn't he even let his senior sister know, but Shen Xingshen said that there was no need for that.
In the face of my inquiry, he raised his head and said lightly after a moment: "Uncle Shi, do you still remember Jiang Cai who met in Luohe City that day?" ”
I nodded subconsciously, thinking back to the past, the person who saved Jiang Cai on the Luohe River was indeed me, and the person who painted the painting on the Yuntai Pavilion was indeed me, but at that time, if it was inconvenient to show people in women's clothes, I changed my appearance to a man, but it also delayed Jiang Cai's life.
Shen Xingshen continued: "Since she knows that the person she asks for will not respond at all, why does she still have to wait? ”
I was stunned, and suddenly reacted that Shen Xingshen did the same for his senior sister, he wanted to make his senior sister good, just to make his senior sister good, not to invite merit, and he didn't want to bother, after all, he was clear about the affairs of his senior sister and Senior Brother He, and there was no possibility of changing anything from it, so there was no need to remember his name, and the things he did for his senior sister didn't need to let his senior sister know, just like Jiang Cai was watching over the young man named Yi Chulian, he never had the hope of letting the other party repay him something.
"The same reasoning ......"
He looked at Li Dongyang, then looked at me again and said, "I hope Uncle Shi will think about it." ”
I glanced at Li Dongyang and silently withdrew my gaze.
Shen Xingshen took his senior sister away, I didn't stop him, in this world, compared to me, he is the most thoughtful person for my senior sister.
I think this is also the only comfort between him and his senior sister.
After living in the annex for a few more days, I was anxious and wanted to leave here as soon as possible and rush to southern Xinjiang, but when I went to say goodbye to Li Dongyang, I met two people.
The lord of Wuyang also has Li Yuanzhen, the king of Qi in Li Wenzhuo's mouth.
They were talking in the tea pavilion, and I couldn't bother to go over and disturb them, so I could only stand under the tea pavilion and wait silently, as if they didn't notice my existence, and still sat in the tea pavilion, talking about their affairs.
I only listened to Li Yuanzhen's words and said earnestly: "Auntie, Uncle Huang, the world is peaceful on the surface, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent, the emperor is still younger after all, I want to choose a few old ministers who assist the government to help the emperor deal with government affairs, I don't know what the emperor's uncle and aunt want?" ”
The county lord of Wuyang asked: "I don't know who you want to choose Yuanzhen?" ”
Li Yuanzhen opened his mouth and said: "Lu Anguo, Taichang Siqing, Cao Qing, Zuo Xiang, and Xu Dayuan, the general of Zhenbei. ”
Without waiting for the county lord of Wuyang to speak, Li Dongyang laughed lowly and said: "I remember that Lu Anguo is a close friend of your father, Cao Qing is your uncle, and Xu Dayuan, long before the first emperor died and intended to pass on the throne to me, he has been supporting your father in the court bureau, Yuanzhen, you must know how to be content, if you are insatiable, it is easy to lose everything you should now, and in the end even take your life." ”
Li Yuanzhen was shocked by Li Dongyang's words, and he didn't dare to say it, and said: "Yuanzhen just thinks that there is a matter on Kunlun Mountain, I am afraid that it is not good for the Nandu Marquis Mansion to explain to the emperor, if these three are recommended as auxiliary ministers, in front of the emperor in the future, Yuanzhen can also speak for his aunt and uncle, otherwise if the emperor blames him......"
Li Dongyang snorted again and mocked contemptuously: "I don't know, when will the emperor start to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes?" ”
Li Yuanzhen held back his expression and replied: "This time Yuanzhen came to Kunlun Mountain, it was ordered by the emperor to kill Xu Jingrong...... It is also the meaning of the emperor. ”
I was shocked, could it be that my heinous sins had already reached the emperor, and the little emperor could still think of getting rid of me while managing the government?
If this is the case, then the Wuyang County Lord let me go privately, will the emperor be angry with the Nandu Marquis Mansion because of this?
I gradually became worried, but I saw that Li Dongyang's expression did not change, and he said with a tough attitude: "If the emperor really has this intention, then the matter of releasing Ah Jing privately, the Nandu Marquis Mansion will give an explanation, and you won't worry about it." ”
Li Yuanzhen looked embarrassed, nodded to him, and said: "Yuanzhen's parents are now dead, only the imperial uncle and aunt are still closer, I hope that I can often visit the Nandu Marquis Mansion in the future, and I can also be more familiar with my aunt and uncle." ”
At this time, the county lord of Wuyang continued: "It's a good thing that you can have this heart, but in recent years, the prince has been unwell and needs to recuperate, if there is nothing to do, don't disturb his old man's recuperation, now the affairs in the house are all taken care of by me, if you have anything, just come to me." ”
Hearing this, I suddenly understood that Li Yuanzhen came this time to take advantage of the incident on Kunlun Mountain to recruit the Nandu Marquis Mansion, this person was plotting against him, and he also wanted to drag the Nandu Marquis Mansion into the water, so the emperor who just said that he wanted to kill me was also bluffed to deliberately provoke the relationship between the Nandu Marquis Mansion and the emperor, but fortunately, Li Dongyang and the Wuyang County Lord did not fall into his trap, and quietly refused.
To be honest, I don't like this Li Yuanzhen, not because he wants to kill me on Kunlun Mountain, but because I think he is really similar to that Bai Fei, who is a righteous man and a gentleman on the surface, but actually has two faces, which makes people feel very hypocritical.
Seeing that he couldn't get any benefits in front of them, Li Yuanzhen sat for a while, and said a lot of compliments to Li Dongyang and the county lord of Wuyang, and then said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he was stopped by Li Dongyang: "Yuan Zhen ......"
Li Yuanzhen paused, turned to look at him, but heard Li Dongyang slowly speak: "This country, since I gave it to the emperor, I didn't want it to fall into the hands of others, the emperor was supported by me personally, everything about him is taken care of by me, you better not think about anything else." ”
Li Yuanzhen heard the meaning of his words, bowed to him resignedly, and turned to leave again.
Seeing Li Yuanzhen leaving, the county lord of Wuyang looked at Li Dongyang with some concern: "Younger brother, ......"
Li Dongyang looked at Li Yuanzhen's distant back with an indifferent expression, and said, "Sister, you go back and discuss with your father, and pay more attention to Yuanzhen." ”
The county lord of Wuyang nodded, and at the same time, I also found that I had been standing still, and when I saw them looking at me, I stepped forward and said to them: "Thank you for the county lord and the little marquis for saving their lives and sheltering grace, now that the senior sister has passed away, Jingrong has nothing to worry about here, it's time to say goodbye and leave." ”
The county lord of Wuyang looked at me carefully, and after a moment, asked, "Miss Xu said that she has nothing to worry about here?" ”
I was silent for a moment, subconsciously looked at Li Dongyang, and finally nodded.
But I heard the county lord of Wuyang say: "I have some things and want to talk to Miss Xu alone, I wonder if Miss Xu has time?" ”
