Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Shadow of the New Emperor (I)
When the lights went out, it was pitch black.
Xue Zhao lay there with his eyes wide open, unable to sleep.
After helping him clean up, Miss Qin left, and he understood the way the other party looked at him.
But he didn't want to, and he couldn't.
For many days, he was convinced that his body had deteriorated completely, and that his limbs had really been crippled, and the famous doctor had come many times and told him bluntly: he had expected a miracle, but since it had been so long and had not appeared, then he was really crippled.
Although Miss Qin was rather sad, it was easy to accept all this, and she was even a little relieved - he now understood where the other party's relief was.
But it didn't work.
He didn't tell the other party, nor did he let the other party realize that his memory had been completely restored.
He is Xue Zhao, the general of Yulin, known as the first person of the young generation in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and countless people are optimistic about him and the first beauty of the Northern Tang Dynasty, Princess Li Xiyun of Guangle.
He didn't dare to have any wrong thoughts about Miss Qin now, even in the Cloud Shelter Villa, their reputation was already very "stinky", and he didn't dare to expect Li Xiyun extravagantly.
He was a wasted man, and after recovering his memory, he was even more unbearable, and if he lost his memory forever, he might have lived well, but now, he was all lost.
He would have had a good future, he has a responsibility that will be difficult to get rid of all his life, he needs to command Yulin, maintain law and order in Chang'an, and resist the threat of force from the surrounding countries and nations in the future, but now he is actually abolished, becoming a deserter halfway, useless!
He had a hard time forgiving himself.
Now he was in a daze every day, watching Miss Qin come and go, and the rest of the time he didn't speak, staring blankly at it, looking forward to a miracle that would never happen.
But the miracle has never appeared, and he has also had the idea of committing suicide, but he feels that it is also to evade his responsibility, and more importantly, seeing Miss Qin take care of himself so hard, he understands that he has the responsibility to live well, otherwise, the other party's hard work will be all in vain.
Although it was dark inside the house, the moonlight outside was very bright, so all kinds of images outside the window were cast on the window paper, black and white.
He lost his ability to move, and he could no longer operate the Luck Method, but Xue Zhao's intuition was still there, his eyes moved, and his head turned sideways with difficulty, and he saw the black figure cast on the window paper.
There was only one figure, able to realize that there would be no one.
With a "squeak", the door was opened, and no one entered.
But the moonlight outside shone through the door, making the figure on the ground very clear.
Xue Zhao may have had fear in his heart, but he knew that fear was useless.
He had heard that ghosts had no shadows, but it was the first time he had seen a scene where he saw only shadows and no people.
He could still hear the shadow speaking to him:
"General Xue, actually hiding here, let me find it in the next place."
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Xue Zhao asked.
He didn't know if the person who came was good or evil to him, but the scene was so weird, he definitely wouldn't be at ease.
Besides, the other party knows his identity, so he should have a bit of an intersection.
"Being able to speak, of course, is human." Shadow replied.
As he spoke, under the moonlight, a person gradually appeared on the figure.
It was a young man with crystal white skin, frighteningly white, like a bloodless dead man.
Xue Zhao narrowed his eyes, if his strength was still there, he would not be afraid of anyone, but now, he was indeed powerless.
The young man came to his bedside almost like a ghost and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Don't shout, or you won't know if the person who saved you will die."
"Is this a threat?" Xue Zhao frowned and asked.
"No, I'm telling the truth."
Xue Zhao was silent, although he didn't know the details of this person, but judging from the weird scenes now, even if Miss Qin and the others in the Cloud Avoiding Villa were powerful, it was estimated that they would be more than lucky, and he knew very well the protective power of the Cloud Avoiding Villa, the masters here were like clouds, and the other party did come in silently, and found his own location, even if he was in his peak state, it was estimated that he would take down the other party, and he was not completely sure.
"Who are you?" Xue Zhao asked.
The young man looked down at him.
"General Xue, you have been away for so long, causing a lot of turmoil outside, do you think it is a good behavior to hide here like this?"
"Your Majesty asked me to find you back." The youth said.
"Your Majesty?" Xue Zhao frowned, "Your Majesty has died, are you really a ghost?" ”
The young man laughed gloomily, and his laughter was extraordinary: "The new emperor has ascended the throne and announced to the world, Nanwu and many other countries have brought congratulatory gifts, and the Cloud Shelter Villa is not a small place according to reason, this kind of thing will not be unknown, but General Xue seems to be a little deaf to what is going on outside the window." ”
Li Zenan has actually ascended the throne, and the personnel changes are really unpredictable, Xue Zhao was a little stunned for a while.
When he left Chang'an, Chang'an was shady, Li Xianyue, the king of Jin, died young, and Li Xiyun did not see a trace. It was a very dark time, so to speak.
In the blink of an eye, the night was over, the scene of His Majesty's death was far away, and Li Zenan had already ascended the throne.
And he was lying on the bed, unable to move, and every day was a muddy day, and he didn't know tomorrow after today.
He felt completely disconnected from the outside world, and it was really useless.
The young man really didn't look like a man, but a ghost.
He waited there silently, not saying a word, eeriely scary.
Xue Zhao lost his mind for a long time, and finally spoke again: "I'll go back?" What else can I do when I go back? I'm useless anymore, as for Li Zenan, he has ascended the throne as emperor and ruled the country, and he no longer needs any help, he doesn't need many people anymore, including me. ”
"General Xue actually thinks so much about himself, and thinks so about His Majesty?" The corners of the young man's mouth hooked up a strange smile.
"Isn't it? I'm crippled, I've lost my strength, I've lost my mobility, what use can I have? I was so tired in those days, but now I can finally convince myself to take a good rest. Xue Zhao said.
"Oh, really?"
The young man floated over like a ghost, his cold eyes staring into his eyes, "General Xue, who has always taken the stability of the Northern Tang Dynasty as his responsibility, would actually say that he was tired and said that he wanted to rest and rest, which is really surprising." ”
