Chapter 43: Sacrifice

High Shen Abyss?

Duan Lizheng boasted that he had received many baptisms in today's long day, and even accepted the fact that the monk who had embarrassed him in Huizhou was actually the prince of Xiliang, and originally thought that nothing in this world could surprise him, but when he heard this name, he was still speechless.

"That's ...... That's not ......"

He had just turned sixteen years old not long ago, and he was not as experienced as his brother, but he had read poetry and books since he was a child, and it was impossible for him not to know this name.

Because the name belongs to that family that cannot be unknown unknowing. This is the name of the royal family.

Of course it wasn't the name of someone he knew, no, he couldn't have known the owner of that name from the beginning, because ......

"That person should have been ......" Duan Lizheng couldn't say that word when he opened his mouth, Duan Haochu said lightly as if he knew what he was thinking.

"Well, it should be dead," Duan Haochu was stunned after speaking, "Now that I think about it, it happens to be the year you were born." ”

That's right.

The first time Duan Lizheng saw this name was in the record book of the royal family's memorabilia in the Duan family's intelligence network. And the reason why he was so impressed by the name was because it happened to be a major event that happened in the year he was born.

Sixteen years ago, there was a shocking case in the Great Zhou, known as the rebellion of the old prince Qi Wang. Because the culprit was ambushed in Danfengmen, it is also known as the change of Danfengmen.

Emperor Chengzong's thunderous means, the old prince and the king of Qi smashed the conspiracy and were shot on the spot, the five sons of the old prince and the five sons of the king of Qi were all given to death, and the princess of Qi was included in the palace, and the rebellion case came to an end.

The last page of the book of events about this event is the names of the ten imperial grandsons who died together at that time.

Gao Shenyuan's name is at the end.

The words are written in black and white, clearly, and the back of the page seems to carry the body temperature of the ten children whose heads were cut off at the same time.

A month after the end of this earth-shattering case, it was Duan Lizheng's birthday.

So it is impossible for him to have seen Gao Shenyuan.

Duan Lizheng's eyes appeared in black and white, and he looked at his secretive brother and shivered.

"You say that people over the age of thirty know about it? Could it be that the Duan family's event book was written incorrectly? ”

He really couldn't believe his brother's words, not because of blind faith in the Duan family's event book, but because Gao Shenyuan died a month before he was born! The father is involved in rebellion, and there is no way that child will survive!

If the child survives after taking 10,000 steps back, he will definitely be incognito in a deserted place, how can he still be as free as his brother said.

"There is nothing wrong with the Duan family's event book." Duan Haochu slowly spoke, "Gao Shenyuan is indeed dead. ”

Duan Lizheng was stunned, "But big brother, didn't you mean ......"

He was simply confused, didn't he say that Song Huaizhu was Gao Shenyuan? Isn't Song Huaizhu alive and well?

"The Duan family's account is not wrong, and the transcript of that incident that you can see on any occasion is exactly what you see."

Duan Haochu stared at his younger brother quietly, "Because what you see is history that can be recorded." ”

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, Duan Lizheng immediately understood.

History belongs to the winners. There is history in this world that can be written down, and there is history that cannot be written.

And the secret behind that incident is obviously the kind that can't be recorded.

But Duan Lizheng's brows furrowed, and he immediately remembered another violation, "So Gao Shenyuan is actually not dead?" Who rescued you?

But even if he didn't die, since everyone knew his identity, it wouldn't be like this......"

"It's impossible to be swaggering like this."

Duan Haochu said coldly, Duan Lizheng raised his head and stared at him in a daze.

The elder brother spoke in a bad tone, but the meaning was right.

As for why Gao Shenyuan's identity is not a secret among middle-aged people, Duan Lizheng understood after thinking about it for a while. That's because except for the immortals, no one in this world can save the prince in the rebellion case unknowingly.

Gao Shenyuan's whereabouts cannot be kept a secret, and any reigning emperor will hunt him down to the ends of the earth, unless ......

"Unless he washes away his sins and becomes another person in the true sense of the word." Duan Haochu said with a deep gaze.

Duan Lizheng looked up in amazement and muttered, "Sin? ”

"That's right," Duan Haochu's eyes were cold, "Maybe he didn't do anything in the eyes of you kids, but in fact, he ......"

"Everyone except children understands," Duan Haochu said with a blank face.

"He was born sinful."

Duan Lizheng's heart was shocked, and he lowered his head, his chest was filled with inexplicable emotions, although he was still a child, he was already a courtier, and he understood that what his brother said was correct.

Gao Shenyuan's status as the prince whose biological father rebelled against him and was punished determined his danger, and no emperor would have tolerated his existence.

But Song Huaizhu was not only not hunted down by Da Zhou now, but also as a sixteenth generation of Zen was treated as a guest, and today he even entered the Daming Palace, if the people who were in the main hall before knew his original identity but did not reveal it, then ......

The more Duan Lizheng thought about it, the creepier he became. At this moment, Duan Haochu's voice interrupted his thoughts and answered his questions.

"Why wouldn't it be a problem when everyone knew who he was?" Duan Lizheng heard his brother's extremely complicated smile and spoke word by word.

"Because Princess Yingluan paid for him."

……

……

Princess Yingluan?

Price?

There has never been a day more than today that made Duan Lizheng deeply feel his ignorance and powerlessness, and he could only ask his brother questions in a daze.

"It was Princess Yingluan who saved him?"

"At what cost?"

Duan Haochu nodded and answered the previous question, and in the latter question, Duan Lizheng suddenly found that his brother's aura changed!

What's wrong?

Looking at his tense brother, Duan Lizheng had a bad premonition in his heart.

The sixteenth generation of Zen sons, Song Yuan.

The whole continent knew who he was, but tacitly assumed that he was someone else.

Behind this near-miraculous good fortune is the price paid by a fourteen-year-old girl.

The fist at the side of the young official Shangshu clenched and loosened. Eventually, he regained his expressionless face and looked at his younger brother.

"I can't say what the specific price is," but Duan Haochu stared at Duan Lizheng and asked rhetorically, "But what do you think the price that Emperor Chengzong can accept?" ”

What would be the price for a suspicious emperor and his descendants not to pursue the descendants of their enemies?

What could it be?

Under his brother's eyes, a chill suddenly rose in Duan Lizheng's heart.

When he was creepy, his brother's deep voice sounded in his ears, "You can put yourself in their shoes. ”

In his brother's voice, Duan Lizheng closed his eyes. The moment he tried to imagine it, all the voices of the world seemed to disappear from him.

The next moment, he seemed to see the figure of a fourteen-year-old girl, the heat wave hit his face, and the huge murderous aura drowned him, and the whole person seemed to be in a sea of swords and fire.

In the huge murderous aura and the overwhelming rain of arrows, Duan Lizheng was so hot that he almost lost consciousness, but in the midst of the sea of fire, the slender fourteen-year-old girl turned her head towards him.

The next second before losing consciousness, Duan Lizheng felt that the fourteen girl who appeared in front of him didn't know why.

Kind of familiar.
