Chapter 216: On the banks of the Three Ways River
"Be sober, don't take all the sins on yourself because of Shen Xiao's matter, what does their death have to do with you?"
Yin Linxi let out an angry voice, but my shoulders couldn't stop shaking, "But he died because of me!" It's all my fault, I'm going to kill the Jin thief, I'm going to avenge him. ”
After saying that, I was about to push Yin Linxi away, but he couldn't help but tighten his arms behind me, so that I was trapped in his arms and couldn't move at all.
After a while, his slightly hoarse voice sounded in my ears, "You should calm down first, you must know that at this time, the four cities are worried about internal and external troubles, everyone is in danger, there are rogue soldiers everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life." And why do you think Shen Xiao will do his best to send you down? He just wants you to live well, if you mess around at this juncture again, then you will really be sorry for Shen Xiao who sacrificed his life to protect you. ”
Yin Linxi's words made me forget to cry for a moment, and I was stunned for a long time before I turned around and looked at the man behind me with deeply locked eyebrows, and his dark eyes were full of pity, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly invaded my heart and pushed me from the top of the cliff of hatred into the abyss.
My body involuntarily softened, and my vision blurred again, "But what should I do?" ”
"Wait!" After Yin Linxi only said this word to me, he glanced at Zhao Zhou, who was waiting not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Shen Youxiang is buried well, and the funeral will be in accordance with the regulations of the cabinet ministers, and there will be no slackness, if there is a violator, kill!" ”
A few words may not sound serious, but there is undoubted majesty hidden in the tone.
Zhao Zhou's several small soldiers carrying the stretcher behind him couldn't help but shrink their heads, and looked at the man who was holding a thin woman with a beautiful face but a serious expression with sincere fear, only to feel that at this moment he was exuding a kind of coldness that was difficult to approach, just looking at it from a distance like this made them shudder.
Dressed in a black cloak, Zhao Zhou, who was standing upright, drooped slightly, and said to Yin Linxi with a respectful face, "My subordinates know that His Royal Highness has always been chivalrous and courageous, and Shen Youxiang sacrificed his life to save the princess is naturally a great achievement, but at this time, Shen Youxiang is burdened with the charge of collaborating with Dugu Ao to collaborate with the enemy and treason, and he is a great sinner in Xianyu Country, if His Royal Highness buries him according to the etiquette of the cabinet minister, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the courtiers, and he will not be able to explain to the court!" ”
Yin Linxi naturally understood that Zhao Zhou's bitter persuasion was for his own good, but compared to those pressures, he was more afraid of his wife's tears, looking at her so sad, he even wanted to exchange his life for another person's life.
Although this sounds ridiculous, in his heart, there is no one in the world more precious than her!
When he designed to fake his death and hand over the battle to Qian Xu, he thought that the emperor would announce his death in advance in order to seize the opportunity, although he was not interested in the throne, but in order to protect the people in his heart, he could only make a desperate bet.
In order to make the old emperor fall into the trap step by step, he deliberately let people spread the illusion of the plague, and secretly diverted the people, hoarding strength, and disguised his soldiers as refugees, so as to confuse the suspicious old emperor.
Later, according to the spies he planted in Zhou County, he reported that he had seen the trace of the second princess wanted by the emperor.
He knew that she must have come to find him, so without waiting for her to have a chance to step into the realm of Luyang, he gave Shen Xiao anonymous Feishu and asked him to intercept her.
Who knew that Shen Xiao would fulfill her wish and accompany her to the chaotic four cities.
At that time, Dugu Ao had already arrived in Luyang, but because he was worried about her safety, he hurriedly took a few people from Qian Xu, and rushed for hundreds of miles at the risk of being recognized.
It was already dark when she rushed all the way from Qintong to Luyang, and she was asleep in the post house, with more than a dozen Shen Xiao's secret guards guarding the door.
He knew that this night, Dugu Ao would definitely make a move, so he put a note in the blue grass to remind her to leave Luyang.
Who knew that she had just appeared, and Duguao's people followed her and burned the city.
He watched her in prison, but he couldn't take her to his side, because he knew that the path he had to take was a thousand times more dangerous than the one she was in now.
Moreover, it was a critical time for the plan.
He had no choice but to secretly send someone to protect her, although he knew that with Shen Xiao there, her life was not in danger.
Later, Luyang City was really burned, he took advantage of the old emperor's urgency to replace the power of the four cities, did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, secretly planned, as a deceased prince finally supported another prince to ascend to the throne, and in the name of purging the chaotic party, let the seven emperor brothers who had ascended the throne send troops to stay in the four cities with their own inner response, and the inside and outside together to kill the four cities.
It took a long circle to pull the old emperor off the throne.
And all this is to give the woman he loves a safe place to stay, and now that she is sad, why should he bear the so-called pressure in the mouth of the world?
Yes, almost at the moment when Zhao Zhou's words fell, Yin Linxi said without hesitation, "Just do what I say, and I should explain to the emperor in the future, and I will bear any consequences!" ”
After saying this, Zhao Zhou moved his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he still wanted to say something and retreated.
It wasn't until they led Shen Xiao away completely that Yin Linxi let me go.
At this time, the fire in the distance has burned out, and there is only a pile of red carbon fire left in the pavilion and pavilion that was originally several feet high, and it looks like a red iron filing, which is shining with a weak light in the wind in a miserable manner, and finally sank into darkness a little bit after a slight "crackling" sound.
"Do you know why you fainted all of a sudden?"
Yin Linxi suddenly spoke, but he directly asked the question in my heart.
I slowly looked up and looked at him quietly with a pair of swollen eyes.
The eyes that were staring at me carefully above his head were full of affection, and he was silent for a while, and finally sighed slightly and said, "Actually, Shen Xiao stabbed you with a silver needle fed with a mixture of medicine!" He did this in the hope that you would forget your old hatred and live well! You can't afford to let him down. ”
"Forget about hatred and live well?" I muttered a repeat, but my heart was as cold as a thousand years of ice.
After a while, his eyes finally became hot, and he burst into laughter, "It's a good one to forget hatred and live well." It's been a few years, I watched my relatives die in front of me one by one, and now every midnight dream, I can still see their blood-stained white faces, that look seems to be silently telling their innocence, and I can only pretend to be deaf and dumb except for hating myself for not having the strength to kill all the enemies, I already hate myself like this, and you will only let me forget one by one, try to ask the deep hatred of killing relatives, destroying the country, and slaughtering friends, which is not the same day, how can I be heartless and heartless to completely forget? ”
I looked up to the sky and smiled, tears welling up uncontrollably in my eyes, and gradually slid down my cheeks and into my neck.
"Su'er, don't do that."
With pain in his eyes, Yin Linxi approached me step by step.
At this moment, the top of my head suddenly sank for no apparent reason, and the steps under my feet immediately followed suit.
Then, I saw Yin Linxi step forward to support me with an anxious face, and her thin pink lips seemed to say something to me, but I couldn't hear anything.
Finally, his eyes were rolled, and his eyes were completely dark.
Wonderful!
