Chapter 108: The Heartfelt Words of the Two Brothers
I was silent for a while, and although what I said sounded a little rebellious, it was human nature and understandable. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ . It is not a cold and arrogant speech, according to his prestige among the officers and soldiers of the three armies, the people of Chang'an respect him for him, and he is a famous teacher, subverting the Chang'an regime, and replacing it, it is not a fool's dream.
"Qingwu, Qingwu!" Liang Ci called me softly: "Don't you like it?" β
I woke up from my thoughts, gently leaned into his arms, and rested my head on his shoulder: "Follow your heart's desire, cool words, how to make decisions comes from your heart." As long as you like it, what you want to do, I like it. β
"Do you want to do whatever you want?" Liang Ci chewed these four words gently: "If I can really 'desire' as I like, I would rather not want this country, and not bear the burden of this mountain that maintains the people of Chang'an living and working in peace and contentment, and work hard in the case." I just want to take off my armor, love the mountains and rivers with you, fight the rivers and lakes, fish alone by the river, and cook wine and tea. It's a pity that I can't help it. β
I stretched out my hand, stretched his frowning brows, and gently smoothed it: "It's okay no matter what, as long as we are together, whether it's Daoshan or the sea of fire, for me, it's all Penglai Wonderland." You just have to do it with confidence. β
Liang Ci grabbed my hand and rubbed it on his cheek, his face was full of exhaustion and haggardness, revealing a deep sadness: "I'm just guilty, I have never been able to give you and my mother glory and wealth, peaceful years, but I have repeatedly caused you to follow me to worry about it." Needless to say, before I met my mother, my mother went to Miao Xinjiang for the poison of tarsal bones, trekking through mountains and rivers, and never enjoyed a day of family happiness in my Qiwang Mansion.
Qingwu, in fact, I am a little scared in my heart, I am really worried that one day I will meet the Queen Mother and Gu Chang'an, I don't know how to do it. However, I can't easily forgive and forget my father's blood feud.
I was tired, my shoulders were so heavy that I couldn't breathe, but I had to force my composure in front of my mother.
Young woman, can anyone tell me what I should do? β
I stroked his eyebrows and eyes in distress, and my distress fell on his slightly emaciated cheeks, but in the end I didn't give the answer that Liang Ci wanted, I only came up with the stupidest idea, I said: "Liang Ci, if you have the opportunity, you can escape by yourself, the sea and the sky, do whatever you want." Run away, or the other way around, and don't worry about us. I've already discussed it with my master, and we don't want you to carry anything for us. β
Liang Ci was silent and did not speak, as if he was silently thinking about something in his heart, and the dark clouds between his eyebrows and eyes were like the 'gloomy' sky outside.
The wind rose, and the goose-like snow began to blow. The soldiers on guard shrunk their necks and cursed in a low voice for such a ghostly weather, but they did not dare to slack off at all, and increased their vigilance more and more.
Liang Ci stood in front of the window, and the cold wind poured in through the open cracks, sandwiching the crystal clear snow 'flowers'. He looked at it for a long time, then turned to me and said, "Taking advantage of the heavy snow, I want to go out of the city, and when my mother wakes up, I will come back." β
"To the Father-in-Law's camp?" I lifted the teapot from the charcoal stove at the entrance of the 'door' and put two pieces of charcoal back in.
Liang Ci shook his head: "Now that the war is about to break out, the emperor will definitely 'insert' someone to monitor the Marquis of Zhongyong, and I won't cause trouble for him." I'm going to look for the Golden Scales and arrange some things. In the future, whether it is advancing or retreating, I will always find a way back for my brothers. Without worries, I can feel at ease. β
"You can rest assured that I will take care of Master by staying here."
I 'touched' two soft tendon powder pills from my waist bag, opened the sealed 'door' of the charcoal stove, threw them into the charcoal fire, and then lifted the charcoal stove to the 'door' and closed the 'door' of the house. Two puffs of green smoke rose from the charcoal stove and then dissipated around the courtyard in the cold wind.
"Go and come back quickly, this 'medicine' effect is just a stunned effort."
Liang Ci said softly, tied up the cuffs and corners of the robe, jumped lightly from the window, and the 'flower' in front of my eyes disappeared. There was only a very light toe mark left in the snow in the courtyard, which was soon submerged in the heavy snow.
"This window flipping posture is becoming more and more 'fascinating'."
I soothed myself, closed the 'door' and window, and blew out the lights and candles in the room. Sitting in front of the charcoal stove, thinking about his thoughts, he waited for the cold to come back.
The sound went over and over again, and the night grew longer.
When Liang Qi came back, the sky was almost bright, and he suddenly appeared in the room quietly, covered in snow, even his hair and eyebrows were white, which shocked me.
He took out a goose yellow 'colored' plum from behind him and handed it to me, the 'flower' stamen was still covered with snow: "The plum blossoms on the mountain are blooming, the aroma is refreshing, and the snow water on it should be excellent for cooking tea, let's pick some together another day and bury them in the shade of the south wall." β
I know that there is no plum planting near the camp of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and even some dense towering trees and bushes have been cut down by the soldiers to prevent anyone from hiding and sneaking up.
"Where did it come from?" I couldn't help but ask curiously, patting the snow on my body for him: "Aren't you afraid of being seen by Gu Changan to get to the bottom of it?" β
Liang Yu smiled indifferently, and the snow on his eyebrows melted into crystal droplets: "Sooner or later, he will know, and naturally someone will come to him to report." β
"Your whereabouts have been discovered?" I couldn't help but be shocked, the tea I was pouring for him in my hand almost spilled and burned my hands.
Liang Ci hurriedly took it in his hand: "It's not a discovery, but it shouldn't be today, he will come to see me." β
Sure enough, as Liang Ci expected, after lunch, Guo Gonggong came over and sent a message to Liang Ci, saying that Gu Changan had something to announce him.
Liang Ci was already prepared in his heart, and he didn't say anything more at the moment, only dusted off the wrinkles on his body, just like he used to get up early every day to go to the court, and then followed Gonggong Guo and left the yard.
Later, my master and I learned that that night, Liang Ci went to the tomb of King Li, and in the heavy snow, Liang Ci sat there until dawn before returning. The snow on the tomb was all cleaned up when Liang Ci left, and Gu Changan could naturally guess that it was him.
Liang Ci is deliberate, this mountain-like man, who is silent, is silently using his own way to protect his family.
It was only later that I realized why he was so sad and vulnerable in front of me that night, and that he would say such a thing to me for the first time.
Liang Ci went to see Gu Chang'an, and frankly admitted that he had been to the tomb of King Li, and the two brothers sat around the charcoal stove, with hot wine on the stove, and chatted until late at night in the room full of wine.
Liang Ci and I learned from their conversation at that time, and it was only a summary, and besides, both of them drank a lot of wine that day, so I can't remember some of the words very well.
Gu Changan: "The first time I took you there, it was the first year you returned to Beijing, and that day was the day of the death of the king, and you drank too much in front of his tomb and got drunk. β
Gu Liangci: "Well, I just feel dull in my heart, I can't speak, I can't tell the truth, so I inevitably drank a few more cups." β
Gu Changan: "That day, I also drank too much. β
Gu Liangci: "I know, you are also crying and laughing, which is unseemly." β
Gu Changan: "I feel sad too. β
Gu Liangci: "I know it too." β
Gu Changan: "You know? β
Gu Liangci: "You tell me that the tombstone of the king is engraved by you yourself, and what is engraved in it is your conscience at that time." Since then, you've become a true unsympathetic widow. β
Gu Changan: "I actually told you this?" β
Gu Liangci: "Spit out the truth after drinking." β
Gu Changan: "That is my heart knot, and it is also my inner demon, which has been buried in my heart for more than ten years." β
Gu Liangci: "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand." β
Gu Chang'an: "At that time, the queen mother told me: If you are not ruthless and unstable, if you want to be a good emperor, you must be ruthless. This is my responsibility, the lesson I must cultivate in my life, and it is also a hurdle that I will not be able to overcome in my life. β
Gu Liangci: "So, even if you overheard the conversation between your father and the queen mother, and knew that your father planned to kill the king, you chose to remain silent." When my mother cried so much in front of you that my mother was weeping in front of you, it was useless for you to regret it. Even if you repent for the rest of your life, you can't make up for the guilt and remorse in your heart. β
Gu Changan: "When I knew it at the time, it was too late. β
Gu Liangci: "Don't make excuses for yourself, too late and inaction are two different concepts." β
Gu Changan: "So, God punished me for losing two of my dearest relatives at once. I swear that they are closer relatives than my father and queen mother. β
Gu Liangci: "But after all, there is no such splendid country." β
Gu Chang'an: "Everyone has their own innate mission and responsibility, and I swore in front of my father that I would never let the Gu family's world be destroyed in my hands." β
Gu Liangci: "So, your Gu family destroyed my family in your hands?" β
Gu Changan: "Did you drink too much?" Aren't you afraid that if you provoke me, I will kill you? β
Gu Liangci: "Drink too much? If you hadn't drunk too much back then, and said such heartfelt words, respecting you as a sincere and 'sexual' brother, do you think that I, Gu Liangci, would give up the chic of the happy rivers and lakes, and wronged myself to accompany you in the court and do those intrigues? β
Gu Chang'an: "Worshipping the king is a dream thing for everyone, especially in the hands of the world's military power, that is the supreme glory and power, is it, I give you these, you have never 'provoked' me?" β
Gu Liangci: "Then your father and mother will 'hand' the whole world to you, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it not the king's ministers, do you feel 'excited'?" β
Gu Changan: "I feel 'excited'...... Even, I never felt anything wrong with the dictatorship and domineering of my mother. But since I met someone......"
Gu Liangci: "So, I, Gu Liangci, have never felt that there is anything good about this country, and I have never thought of taking him for myself." I was afraid, I held up this splendid country with both hands, and I couldn't hold my hands empty, hugging my favorite 'woman'. Unless ......"
