"You don't have to blame yourself so much, it's still their machinations in the end." Gu Ziyuan said.

"My lord, these three tyrants have always been rampant and domineering in the county, they want the wind to be windy, they want to rain and rain, and they can do anything to kill people and set fires, and no one is afraid of them." Wu Xun recalled the well-known bad things that the three tyrants had done, and his hands trembled slightly.

Wu Xun said with a flustered expression: "My lord, let's not fight with him, these people are the real demons, the real demons!" ”

"I'm not afraid of them." Gu Ziyuan didn't have a trace of fear in his eyes, he said awe-inspiringly, "And whether it is ** or not, God is still watching such suffering spread, which shows that this disaster may be the will of heaven, and there are some things that are destined to be inescapable, and they must be solved head-on." ”

"This ......" Wu Xun was speechless for a moment, he didn't tremble, and his heart suddenly revealed a cold sarcasm and self-deprecation.

Yes, look at this county, not long ago, the county residents blindly wanted to eradicate Gu Ziyuan, the "demon", just after listening to a few words from others, for the sake of the gods they believed in, but how could they have learned that this disaster was man-made, and God just let the plague happen, and the gods they believed in were so indifferent to watch.

Where does Heaven have the power to save people? It is they who deceive themselves and others.

Gu Ziyuan's eyes were like vastness, looking down on the height of the common people, flashing with a determined star, "But, even if this is the will of heaven, I have to fight against this day, whether I win or lose, as long as I am alive, I will not let the people in front of me suffer from disasters, as long as I want to do it, no one can stop me." ”

He said the words sonorously, loudly, for a moment, as if the whole world was shocked and surrendered, everything was silent, Wu Xun looked up stunned, and suddenly at this moment in front of him was a lord of heaven and earth, a king on the throne.

"Big, the adults are right, it's the small ones who are too timid and ignorant, no matter what the adults want to do in the future, the little ones will listen to your orders, and there will be no two hearts!" Wu Xun knelt down again and swore an oath.

"Get up." Gu Ziyuan turned to look at the "Red Kou".

Wu Xun remembered that he had just heard Gu Ziyuan outside that he wanted to test the medicine himself, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, do you want to test the medicine yourself?" Let me come, I'll have a little life, though also

It's afraid of death, but it's not a pity to die, my lord, you are our county order, you can't have anything. ”

Gu Ziyuan rejected his kindness, "It is precisely because it is the county order here, I have to lead by example, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent, some things should be done by me, and I can't affect you." ”

It is not easy for him to get to today's position, maybe in the eyes of others, it is not worth sacrificing his life for a small county, but as an official here, he must protect the people here, otherwise the people will lose and the city will decline, he is a big official, and he is burdened with the lives of so many people, how can this career be at ease?

Whether it is life or death, it is still necessary to eliminate the harm for the people, and now the plague is raging is an urgent need, if no one solves it, this disease will spread to other places, and it will also harm more people.

"But." Wu Xun wanted to continue to persuade, but was interrupted.

Gu Ziyuan raised his hand, "Needless to say, you go and take the medicine to the kitchen to boil first, I'll go over later." ”

Wu Xun hesitated again and again, Gu Ziyuan thought of something again, and suddenly sat down and began to write.

It was only when he stopped writing and pondered the words for a moment that he solemnly handed over a letter to Wu Xun, and he said in a low voice: "When she comes back, I don't know if I can still live, so you can help me give her this letter when the time comes." ”

After a pause, he couldn't help but add, "Don't make her too upset." ”

Then I felt that this sentence was a bit useless.

Thinking of that girl's temperament and sincerity, how could she not be sad? At the thought that she might cry again, he couldn't help but want to wipe away her tears and take her into his arms to comfort her gently.

After that, I don't know if there is such an opportunity.

Wu Xun glanced at the letter in his hand, guessed what it was, and was surprised, this is a suicide note!

This man is actually ready to die.

With such a firm belief and strong perseverance, Wu Xun was speechless again, Gu Ziyuan's words and deeds shook his heart again and again, making him feel admired and amazed, and more prayed that he would never live, and he must survive.

He was very moved, and said from the bottom of his heart, "My lord, you, you are a really good official I have seen for the first time in more than 20 years of life, you will definitely not die, even if it is true, I will definitely help you get justice, let them polish their eyes and take a good look, everything you have done is true."

For them and this county! ”

Back in the room, Gu Ziyuan took out an inconspicuous, but thick and sturdy wooden box from the corner of the cabinet, and opened it carefully, as if he was afraid of damaging the contents inside.

There was a rolled-up portrait lying in the wooden box, slowly unfolding between a pair of big hands with distinct knots, on the white picture scroll, a slender fairy figure came to life, the light and bright arc of her mouth was deep in Gu Ziyuan's dark eyes, her smile, her thoughts and eyes between her eyebrows, he wanted to remember greedily.

His liking for Bai Rong has reached the point of deep love, but he has never tried to be so affectionate to a person, he instinctively reluctantly reluctantly reluctantly attaches to her.

He stretched out his hand and stroked Bai Rong's face in the portrait, and muttered to himself, "Rong'er, I have never been so glad that my fate was upside down, if I really succeeded to the throne back then, I might not have met you." ”

So even if he chooses again, he still wants to return to Panjia County and get to know her.

"Although it is dangerous, the time with you is always happier and more unforgettable than anything, I don't regret it, and I hope you don't regret it."

Rong'er, may you not regret agreeing to marry me.

The decoction was quickly boiled, and the entire county office was as quiet as an outdoor residence, and no one spoke.

Gu Ziyuan sat on the edge of the bed, holding the bowl of decoction, watching his calm face reflected in the potion, and gradually spreading as the warm water vapor melted, revealing a rare fragile paleness.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled wryly, "I know it's selfish, but I want to do it, and I'm going to do it for you, I'm sorry, if I survive, I'll say sorry to you again." ”

So at least even if he really dies, his act of testing the medicine can also get her a chance to get out and leave, she is so smart, whether it is the capital or the county, there must be a way to live a good life.

It's just that from then on, he no longer accompanied her.

The bitter, sour taste mixed with the wanton spread, and as he lay on the bed, he began to feel an indescribable wave of fire rushing over his heart.

Cold sweat dripped from Gu Ziyuan's forehead, and he slowly closed his eyes enduringly.

"Rong'er."
