Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Friendship Ends Here
"Ji Lianmei, Ji Lianmei, your arrival is really like a joke....."
Hide's mask shattered completely, and the rotting flesh and eyes gradually turned into black points of light, dissipating into the wind.
He had been tortured for too long to resurrect his sweetheart, and it was a relief to disappear like this.
Bai Yucheng picked up the small golden bottle from the ground, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the moon that was about to be full.
"Bai Yucheng." Ji Lianmei shouted calmly.
The boy didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't move. He was afraid that when he turned around, he would be overwhelmed when he saw Ji Lianmei's eyes with hatred.
Seeing that he refused to turn around, Ji Lianmei stood up, moved slightly, and walked in front of him, her eyes were still clear and clear.
"So, you wanted to kill me for the throne, didn't you?"
Bai Yucheng looked directly into her eyes, was silent for a while, and said calmly: "Yes....."
Why, you, Ji Xia, Zizhi, the person I came here to give me the greatest care, you all want to kill me. Bai Yucheng, I treat you with sincerity, but you regard my sincerity as a sloppy and use it in every way.
"If you want me to die, why should you be nice to me, and why should you save me at the risk of your life?"
"My kindness to you is part of the plan. If I were just a weak waste prince, they would naturally not try their best to deal with me, and the only thing that could make me strong was your identity as a princess. Bai Yucheng's face was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"In order to prevent me from having a chance to cling to Liu Guo and turn over, the princes will definitely target you in every possible way. Only by using you as a shield can all these plans be implemented, and the pro-destruction, the Liu people are angry, and Emperor Liu can use this as a reason to expand the territory. As for why I want to save you, it's just because the time has not yet come, and your use value cannot be fully displayed. Moreover, every step in the chess game, even if I put myself in danger, I was sure that I would be able to escape. ”
"So what is happening now is also in your plan? As long as the snipe and clam compete with each other, you Song people will be able to reap the benefits. ”
"Yes."
"So you saved me just to maximize your benefits?"
"Yes."
Ji Lianmei took a step back as if she couldn't stand steadily, and smiled helplessly:
"I thought my father was thoughtful, ruthless and unrighteous. It turns out that you are more terrifying, you can understand people's hearts, set up a game within a game, you can play chess for people all over the world, and you can lead me into the game emotionally. ”
"So what are you waiting for now? Kill me, and you will ascend to the throne of prince; Kill me, and the Song people, who have most of the military power of Wu, can take the opportunity to capture Liu; As long as you kill me, I will not be your only weakness, and you will be the unassailable lord of the world. What are you waiting for? Do it. ”
Ji Lianmei opened her arms, completely exposed her vital points, slowly closed her eyes, and tears finally slipped from her eyes, with a poignant beauty.
And what she was waiting for was not a cold sword piercing flesh and flesh, but a soft embrace and Bai Yucheng's deep voice.
"I'm not going to kill you."
Ji Lianmei gritted her teeth, pushed Bai Yucheng away violently, and shouted almost collapsed: "Enough! How long are you going to act with me! Bai Yucheng, I'm not as smart as you, but that doesn't mean that you can play with me in the palm of your hand, and the person who treats other people's lives as if they were shoes really makes me look down on me. If you want to kill or chop, I have no fear. ”
Bai Yucheng just repeated: "I won't kill you." ”
"Bai Yucheng, I don't want to be played around like a fool. Since you don't want to kill me, I can't kill you, so we will write off the old and new accounts. Ji Lianmei turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" Bai Yucheng shouted to her, bit his lip lightly, slowly walked in front of her, grabbed her wrist from the side, and said, "You haven't answered my question just now." ”
Ji Lianmei looked at him, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile.
"Bai Yucheng, although I am not deeply involved in the world, I still understand the truth that a companion is like a tiger. Tomorrow, I will leave here with Ji Jingchen, and we will never see each other again in this life. ”
Looking at the girl's sarcastic expression, unfamiliar words, and sense of distance that seemed to be no longer close, Bai Yucheng felt that someone had stabbed him with a blunt knife in his heart, and it hurt his heart.
He recalled what Youzixian had said before he died.
"Bai Yucheng, you are thoughtful, ruthless and ruthless, I will not let you go if I turn into a ghost. You, you are destined, you can't have sincere feelings, you can't die a lonely life, you can't die well......"
He covered his heart, his eyes full of sadness.
"I'm sorry, mercy."
Ji Lianmei has calmed down again, she said: "Not every sentence of sorry can be exchanged for a sentence of okay, don't think that every apology can be exchanged for everything yesterday, sorry These three words, sometimes it is just your relief, not someone else's relief." ”
After that, she shook off Bai Yucheng's hand on her wrist, untied the jade hairpin on her head, took out a pair of scissors from the cuffs, and hit it three or two times, leaving only a shoulder-length hairpin.
In ancient times, women's hair was particularly important, and they would not easily cut off their hair until it was impossible to be tactful.
"Bai Yucheng, last time, it was just a move to break love, if you and I don't have a chance, it's better to clear up as soon as possible, so at least, when we meet in the future, we can also cook wine and chat. This time, I cut my hair to break off with you, and from then on, we will be like mortal enemies, completely and deadly. Ji Lianmei waved off the severed hair.
"The cliff of despair is self-despairing, people today are different from the past, I have nothing to say to you. I'm not going to seek revenge on you, and you don't want to provoke me. I hope you can let go of Ji Jingchen, I won't let him go back to inherit the throne, and I won't let him come to you for revenge. ”
"I promise you, let him go."
After Ji Lianmei heard the answer, she waved her sleeves and left, her back firm and decisive. Leaving Bai Yu in place, secretly sad.
How did I fall in love with a stubborn girl like you?
Before, Ji Lianmei learned from Bai Yucheng that Ji Jingchen was placed in a small cabin on the edge of the Desperate Cliff. She hurried to the cabin and pushed it in without knocking.
"Ji Jingchen, let's go quickly, it may be dangerous to continue to stay here." Ji Lianmei took Ji Jingchen's hand, packed up some simple things and took them with her body and walked out.
"Pity? What happened, in such a hurry. Ji Jingchen was concentrating on breathing at this time, and was startled by the sudden pull.
"Bai Yucheng, he is the son of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty. Although he promised me that he would no longer embarrass us, this man was cunning and suspicious, and I was afraid that he would change his mind again temporarily, and we would not be able to escape at that time. So, let's get away as soon as possible. ”
Ji Jingchen's expression was complicated, he put his other hand on Ji Lianmei's shoulder, and said to her: "Lianmei, you see, it's so late now, and there are often bears and beasts in the Desperate Cliff, this situation is not safe, it's better to rest here for a night, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”
"But ........"
"It's okay, trust me. If you are afraid that he will not be good for you and me, then I will keep vigil outside tonight. ”
Although Ji Lianmei coveted it in her heart, what Ji Jingchen said was not unreasonable, and with his kung fu, even if he was defeated by Bai Yucheng's guards, it would be easy to escape.
"Alright then, don't stay too far away from me, I can save you if something happens."
Ji Jingchen smiled, flicked her head, and said, "You, don't worry." ”
"Xi Jingchen, where do you think we should go now? How about we go to Yangzhou together, where the scenery is beautiful, there are many beauties, and it is close to Wu Guo, if you are homesick, it is also convenient to go back and see...... "Ji Lianmei has already begun to plan for the future.
She has never been a negative and pessimistic person, and even if she has negative emotions, she will not last long. Although her mind has grown as a result of this change, her personality has not changed.
Seeing her so excited, Ji Jingchen's heart seemed to be appeased.
"Okay, then we'll go to Daliang. You're tired too, rest early, I'll be outside for you, don't worry. ”
He slowly moved out the door, but unexpectedly bumped into the door frame.
"Hey, be careful." Ji Renmei reminded him.
Today, this guy is absent-minded, probably because this accident has brought him too much blow, so let him be quiet.
A roaring fire rose outside the door, feeling the blazing warmth of the fire, and his eyes were dark.
He was a proud prince, the general of the state of Wu, and now, he has fallen from the clouds into the mud. The dynasty overturned, the old country went from prosperity to decline, and he could not do anything about it.
The homeland is still the homeland, but the homeland has become the homeland.
In the future, whose territory is here, and who will draw the land here as the king?
Just as he was engrossed, a figure slowly disappeared from the trees on the oblique side, approaching the cabin.
"Who!" Ji Jingchen vigilantly raised his saber and prepared for the battle.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." Bai Yucheng said. He said as he walked over to Ji Jingchen and sat down.
"What are you doing here, aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?" Seeing that Bai Yucheng was not afraid and calm, Ji Jingchen sat down again with a cold face.
"Your Excellency is a smart man, if you kill me here, the Great Song Guards hidden in the woods will definitely not let anyone in the wooden house go. You won't put Ji Lianmei's life at risk for revenge. Bai Yucheng chuckled and reached out to stir the fire brighter.
"But to my surprise, you didn't leave."
"It's not that I don't want to go, but I can't go at all." Ji Jingchen smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Bai Yucheng paused the action of passing the teacup to his lips, and then turned his gaze to Ji Jingchen.
He had already asked the guards to inform him that he would let them go, and, from the time he walked to him and sat down, until now, he had been staring at the same place.
Out of doubt, Bai Yucheng stretched out his hand in front of him and shook it around, however, Ji Jingchen didn't move.
