Chapter Seventy-Six: Reckoning with Blood
"So what?"
"So, Jade Qi'er, it's better to choose life than to die. After all these years, let go of the hatred. Xian'er is dead, Liang's death is innocent, and they paid for your mother's death. Let's write off the past, from now on, you and my father and daughter will be reconciled as before, and you and Yi'er brothers and sisters will work together to revitalize my Xiao family. How is it? ”
Xiao Xuan grabbed the words before Xiao Zhaoyi to make his words clear, until this time, he still had the intention of encircling Jiang Qi to get the antidote.
Jiang Qi's heart became colder and colder, he had never had hope for the Xiao family from the beginning, but he didn't expect that they really wiped out the hope of Xinghuo again and again.
"Xiao Xuan, greedy for life and afraid of death is like you, unworthy of being a father and a husband. Do you still expect an antidote from me? ”
As soon as he heard the antidote, Xiao Xuan's cloudy eyes once again had a light of hope, and he hurriedly took out the jade unicorn from his arms, and he didn't care about his identity, and leaned forward in a posture of sitting down with a hurry and begging, in a vain attempt to stir her compassion with pity.
"Jade Qi'er, I know you have an antidote. From the very beginning, it was you who brought me to Ryan City, you must have an antidote, right, give it to me, give it to me! You see, this jade unicorn has always been on my body for my father, and for the past ten years, my father has been thinking about you all the time......"
Jiang Qi lowered his eyebrows, his eyes brushing over the jade that was broken into two pieces.
Xiao Xuan thought that her heart had softened, and she stretched out her hand to grab the corner of Jiang Qi's clothes: "Yuqi'er, I am your father, and I love your father the most!" ”
Jiang Qi pulled the hem of his clothes to dodge, and he didn't let him touch a piece of cloth: "Don't touch me, dirty my clothes!" ”
King Qi's plea came to an abrupt end, and the jade unicorn landed crisply. His face turned pale, and he felt the embarrassment of being nakedly disgusted.
Xiao Zhaoyi had long known that there was no room for them to go back to Jiang Qi at all, and he hated Xiao Xuan in his heart and had illusions about Jiang Qi.
"Xiao Yuqi, you want to kill your father and brother, you want to take revenge, you can! But my Xiao family does not despise the evil seed of human ethics, if you want to do it, return the Xiao family's things first! Cut off half of your flesh, shed half of your blood, and repay the Xiao family's debt to you, so that you are qualified to take revenge in the name of 'Jiang Qi'. Let me see if you, who keep saying that the descendants of the Jiang family are deceiving the world and stealing your name, really have a kind of flesh cutting and bleeding! Do it! Are you scared? Afraid of death! ”
Xiao Zhaoyi glared at her, stimulating her to self-harm.
Xiao Xuan watched with bated breath as a son and a daughter confronted each other, they were once the best two siblings.
Jiang Qi looked at Xiao Zhaoyi without blinking, rolled up his sleeves, and slowly raised his left wrist, the blood on Hao's wrist was still faintly visible.
"It's time to make it clear. I grew up in my mother's womb before I was born, it was my mother's flesh and blood that raised me for ten months, it was my mother's milk that fed me up, and it was my mother who rescued me from the hands of the Liang family, allowing me to live for ten more years. In this life, everything I owe is my mother's, and my flesh and blood belong to my mother and the Jiang family. ”
"If the Xiao family must say that I owe him, well, I, Jiang Qi, will never tell the truth. Since the Xiao family contributed the essence to let me form a human fetus back then, today I will wash away this filth with half of my blood, I have nothing to do with the Xiao family, and there is no reason for the people in the world to belittle the Jiang family! ”
After speaking, her right fingernail slashed her left wrist, sharply cutting the blood vessels in her wrist, and the blood meandered down like a bubbling stream.
She raised her eyes to look at the stunned father and son, and squeezed out a voice from her heart: "Except for the Jiang family, I, Jiang Qi, have nothing to do with anyone in the world. ”
With the gurgling bloodstream, her pride was finalized.
Thousands of miles away, in a small city on the border between Nanyue and Dawei, the gates are closed, and the empty streets are even quieter at night.
Over the years, the political situation in Nanyue has been turbulent, and the old lord favored the ministers, and the authority fell into the hands of the Xian national teacher. The original crown prince was deposed, the sons of the lord killed each other, and the royal family was scarce.
A few months ago, the second prince launched a palace mutiny, killed the Xian national teacher, and occupied the forbidden palace.
The third prince killed the second prince again, coerced the old lord to respect himself, and established himself as the prince.
Before ascending the throne, the four princes poisoned the three princes, forced the old lord to death, and sought power to usurp the throne, intending to echo the north and south of Lianghulu of Dawei and jointly divide half of the southern part of Dawei.
Without waiting for the four princes to come out, Hu Ali, the grandson of the old lord who had traveled abroad for many years and the son of the former saint of Nanyue Kingdom, led hundreds of civil and military officials to win the four princes who killed their fathers and brothers, and was elected as the prince of Nanyue Prison State.
At this moment, in a courtyard in this small border city, Hu Ali, the prince of Nanyue, that is, the leader of the Blood Hand Alliance, had just finished discussing military affairs with the generals, and had made a plan to attack Dawei by surprise.
Since Liang Hulu gave up the Qi State Domain and went north, the Dawei land from Qizhou City to the south to the border of Nanyue State has become a piece of fat, and the reason why the Nanyue Kingdom court can work together and quickly quell the civil strife in a short period of time under the leadership of Hu Ali is because the temptation to go north has attracted everyone.
The generals retired one after another, Hu Ali slowly came to the atrium, the end of the world is full of bright moons, I don't know if Jiang Qi who is far away in Ruian is smooth? He's a stupid sister, who has been withdrawn since she was a child, and is too constrained by the hidden national teacher, so I'm really afraid that she will suffer.
This courtyard is the hiding place of the Bloody Hand Alliance, from here he will be heading north with the army tomorrow, and there is something he needs to do before leaving. Hu Ali walked into a rockery......
Along the rockery, Hu Ali twisted and turned all the way, illuminated by the candle flame with the thickness of his arm's arm along the way, and his destination was a dark room that extended underground.
In the dark room, the same arm-thick fire candle illuminated the room as bright as day, and was reflected by the surrounding mirrors to shine brightly and goldenly. Originally, this dark room was first made of heavy marble, and after it was completed, a layer of copper mirrors was built on all the spaces, and people could see countless of themselves as long as they were in it, whether they looked up and down, looked forward and back, up and down, left and right.
Now, there happen to be two people in this room. One is Xiao Zhaoyun and the other is Princess Qi.
Princess Qi is still the most real ugly, with long greasy white hair, her skin and limbs have become like the bark of dead branches, dense hair has grown on her body, and her two feet are locked by thick foot rings and fixed in one corner.
The ubiquitous mirror reflects her ugliness, aging, sloppiness, and filthiness, reminding her and stimulating her all the time.
Once, she did whatever it took to pursue her eternal appearance, cover up her animalistic old state, and wanted to show her beauty to the world, but unfortunately, everyone in the world saw her ugliness. Now, she has to face her true face every day.
And her daughter is still so young and beautiful, like countless girls who have been killed by her and sucked blood.
Princess Qi sat on the ground like a sow, her heart was full of jealousy and hatred, she couldn't say a word, because it was too noisy before, her tongue had been cut off, and she could only whine in her throat, while staring at the beautiful and noble Xiao Zhaoyun on the other end viciously like an animal, she grabbed the pig food on the ground that was difficult to swallow, stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it.
Xiao Zhaoyun was wearing a clean dress, showing off her slender arms and waist, her makeup was cleaned up, and she was sitting on a stone bench eating clean food.
If you ignore the two black-clothed women standing next to her and the heavy ankle chains, you really think that she is still her cousin county lord in the Qi Palace.
It's a pity that this was deliberately done for Liang to see. is also a captured captive, one is trampled under his feet and tortured, one is treated politely, one is in heaven and one is on the ground, such a huge contrast, without a word, even if it is a mother and daughter, they will turn against each other.
Under the watchful eye of the two women, Xiao Zhaoyun's hand holding the spoon shook and spilled a few drops. The woman in black immediately blew a whistle, Xiao Zhaoyun covered her chest, and rolled on the ground with a wow.
Princess Qi grinned, let out a muffled muffled mm
But she didn't feel proud for long, and when the whistle of the woman in black sounded again, it became Princess Qi who was rolling on the ground. Black worms crawled on her skin, biting down on a bite of flesh the size of a mung bean, and puddles of blood oozed out.
Princess Qi scratched with her hands in pain, and the insects climbed up the back of her hands again, and she rubbed her skin around, but it couldn't relieve the pain at all.
This carnivorous insect does not eat a lot of food and stops once it is full. But where I was bitten, the pain increased by magnification, and the perceived pain was far deeper than before.
Every time the carnivorous worm has a full meal, the people of the Blood Hand Alliance will feed Liang a muscle-building medicine, and it will not be long before it will scab over and grow new meat. After a few times, the worms will eat the meat from other places, and they will come back to eat the newly grown meat. The cycle never ends.
Carnivores eat meat, Gu worms devour hearts, this is the daily life of their mother and daughter.
Xiao Zhaoyun, who was still in pain, became an indifferent bystander at this moment, she looked at her mother coldly, like looking at an enemy, she hated her, and longed for her to die. I was gritting my teeth and cursing in my heart: It's all your fault, it's all you, you dirty and ugly monster, the person Jiang Qi hates is you, you are going to die.
Xiao Zhaoyun hated his mother so much for a reason, at the beginning, their mother and daughter were like goods, they were packed into sacks and sent to this ghost place day and night, and when they were first locked up in this dark room, Princess Qi kept screaming all day long, not daring to face her ubiquitous ugly face, it was she who, as a daughter, comforted her mother again and again.
Later, Princess Qi had her tongue cut out, she could no longer make a sound, she was bitten by carnivorous insects every day, she was also tortured by Gu worms, and the mother and daughter were sick and sympathetic.
But it was only a few days, and her mother's gaze at her became colder and colder, first full of jealousy, then full of hatred, and then full of murderous intent. She is like a flower every day, eating human food, but her mother is ugly, eating pig food, she suffers only the pain of Gu worms, and her mother has to suffer the pain of eating meat several times a day.
This gap distorted her heart, so she no longer thought of herself as a daughter, but as any beautiful girl who could be killed. She wanted to eat herself, and drank her own blood, like the countless maidens she had killed in vain.
The hatred and pride in Xiao Zhaoyun's eyes fell in the eyes of the inseparable.
His thin lips curled into a wicked smile, and he commanded, "Untie their anklets." ”
Xiao Zhaoyun looked at the sudden inseparability in astonishment, and couldn't help but think a little in his heart, did he take a fancy to himself, so he didn't treat me like his mother. If so, I still have a chance to live.
"I ......"
He didn't want to listen to her ramblings, he smiled and said cruel words: "This seat originally wanted you to live and enjoy such torture every day, but now this seat has changed its mind, and whoever of you two can survive today, this seat will let him go." There is no lie. ”
Is this to make their mother and daughter kill each other? Matricide? Xiao Zhaoyun's originally upright body fell to the ground again, but Liang smiled strangely and couldn't wait to crawl towards Xiao Zhaoyun......
