Deng Yi (middle)
Deng Yi finally recalled that when he was a child, he occasionally bumped into his father and cousin Gu Yan arguing in the room, and what happened in the end was the night he saw his fiancée for the first time.
The county lord named Ning Yi, Qiu Yanlan, greatly offended Gu Yan during the day that day - she refused Gu Yan's temptation, and also seduced Jiang Yashuang, the grandson of Jiang Banchao's family, in the Ganquan Palace of the Empress Dowager Gu, she slapped Gu Yan with a blue nose and swollen face, not to mention, when the matter came to the Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang, the sharp-tongued Empress Jiang also gloated about Gu Yan: "Counting that he is more than ten years older than Nineteen, he actually moved his sword and was beaten by the defenseless Nineteen!" This kind of waste, I really don't know why Guangyang Mansion still keeps him? If you were born in our Jiang family, you would have been sent out to fend for yourself a long time ago! is still a baby in the Gu family, and he actually became the son of the world - the other male heirs of the Gu family are all dead, and they are still even more wasteful than him?! ”
It was the first time Deng Yi had seen Gu Yan so out of shape - he had no bearing of a powerful and noble son, and roared hysterically: "That little slut! She must die!! ”
The request of Empress Dowager Gu's nephew and grandson of the prince of Guangyang was quickly implemented.
Deng Yi is also one of the executors.
The location is at the Ganli Palace.
is rarely visited, and can easily frame the Empress Dowager Ye, who has been in seclusion for many years, completely removing the big trouble in the heart of the Empress Dowager Gu.
But Deng Yi estimated that after the guards who took the lead had already dominated the pair of delicate masters and servants, when he casually pushed the door in, he was restrained, if he hadn't reacted quickly, it was estimated that he would have been taken care of like those two guards!
He racked his brains to persuade Qiu Yulan to let him go, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to reveal in his words that he had been humiliated all these years and couldn't wait to get away from Gu Yan, and he had no pressure to betray the Gu family and couldn't ask for it.
Sure enough, Qiu Yulan believed him.
Actually, that's not what he thought at all......
The reason is simple.
He really didn't like women.
It's not just Gu Yan's guidance, or even more because of his mother.
The delicate and beautiful Mrs. Gu can always easily arouse a man's desire to protect.
But this is looking at her from a man's point of view.
Put yourself in your son's shoes.
said that Deng Yi was ruined in her hands for the rest of his life, or it was too harsh.
But if she hadn't been in the aftermath of her husband's death, she would have been powerless to control her subordinates and unable to take care of the industry, so she didn't choose to study, but chose to ask her mother to take her son back to the palace to join her...... Maybe Deng Yi's fate could be different?
In short, Deng Yi has always been very impatient with his weak and ignorant mother.
"Aren't all women like this?" After this thought came to him, his interest in women faded. Not only is it light, but it's also very impatient to deal with them.
Unconsciously, he began to appreciate those who were decisive, protective, strong, and safe of the same sex.
So for the relationship with his cousin Gu Yan, he is actually far less resistant and bored than outsiders think.
His initial indifference was just that he had heard too much talk about the relationship between their cousins, and he was not good at it and didn't have so much energy to refute them one by one, so he simply pretended to be indifferent and rejecting people thousands of miles away, and was afraid of Gu Yan's power, and dared to say irresponsible words in front of him.
Therefore, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when he left the Ganli Palace in a cold sweat, he was full of thoughts: "You must tell your cousin to get rid of this Qiu clan as soon as possible!" Such an unscrupulous person, fortunately she showed her stuffing today! Otherwise, if you really marry me, wouldn't I not survive the wedding night?! This woman is full of anger, what is the way of the end...... No! No matter where she came from, my cousin is right, this woman will be removed! Must be removed!! ”
It was the first time for a pampered boy since he was a child to see such a bloody scene - especially one of the guards, who was killed by a hairpin directly inserted into the back of his head from the eyeball, and after he died, the still intact eye almost stared out of his socket, so calm and terrifying!
And Qiu Lulan, who had just finished killing, was so calm that nothing happened, such a contrast made Deng Yi run away after estimating that he had left her sight!
"It's horrible!" The thin and beautiful boy ran frantically in the silence of the palace to the brightly lit front hall - frightened, he desperately needed the light and the comfort of the crowd.
Just halfway through the run, he suddenly stopped!
In his memory, he seemed to have seen something like this!
The same wind is like a knife and the night is like ink; The same secluded and uninhabited; The same ...... Pool of blood?
Pool of blood?!
How can it be?!
Tonight was the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life, that Ningyi County Lord, she was simply not human, she ...... Wait a minute!
Blood...... Lake?
Deng Yi's face was pale, and he slowly slipped and fell against the palace wall—in the dizziness of the whirlwind, he had a splitting headache.
After the tide of darkness came to his face, the lost memories unexpectedly surfaced-
"Father!" Still young. Puzzled and panicked, he ran to the man, and was not relieved until he was picked up.
But the next moment, the hands that gave him infinite warmth and security suddenly turned him into a carry, and smashed him to the ground!
"Bang!"
Even though the ground was covered with a thick blanket due to the cold, the strength of the adult man's hands, coupled with his age, still felt the sharp pain that his skull had been shattered!
He fell limply to the ground, blood gushing out of his seven orifices, quickly soaking through the blanket!
"You?!" Gu Yan exclaimed in surprise and stepped forward, "Are you crazy?!" This is your own son!! ”
"Although my Deng family is not a famous family, I have been cultivating for generations, but I am also innocent! I have been humiliated by you brute because I have not noticed it for a while, and all my thoughts have been lost! Now that you're fighting Yi'er's idea, how can I let you succeed?! Deng Hanlin's voice was cold and resentful, "I'd rather kill my son with my own hands than let him be like me at this time, as a dignified man, playing with others!! ”
Before he finished speaking, seeing that Deng Yi was still struggling, he said hesitantly, "Let's go on the road together with father and son!" He ruthlessly wanted to continue to make up for it-but was stopped by Gu Yan, who had already reacted at this time: "Uncle wants to die, don't drag the innocent cousin into the water!" Tiger poison still doesn't eat children! Uncle is strong and would rather die than be humiliated, but my cousin may not think so! ”
The fierce tone suddenly turned flirtatious, "Besides, my cousin is so stunning, what a pity he died at a young age?!" ”
“…… Yi'er! You remember, you can kill! Don't be disgraced! If you still have the strength, go to the corner of the table over there and bump it again! Deng Hanlin, who was born as a weak scholar, was not at all the opponent of Gu Yan, who had been taught martial arts since childhood, and he couldn't kill his son when he stopped him, so in a hurry, he taught him a lesson, "You must not be called a cousin who is inferior to a beast......
"Bang!"
"Poof!"
The snow-bright sword light illuminated the room, and the iron-faced Gu Yan took out his sword like electricity, slowly returned the sheath, wiped the blood stains that were splashed on his face, and said coldly: "No, know, lift, lift!! ”
turned around, but saw Deng Yi, who was already dying, barely raised his head, and looked at his father's headless body in a daze and slowly fell down - those black and white eyes were full of woodenness and lifeless!
"Cousin Yi?" Gu Yan frowned, put the sword aside, walked over and bent down, and asked tentatively, "How are you?" Come, cousin is here, you don't have to be afraid! ”
He was answered by Deng Yi's hysterical scream: "Ah——!!! ”
…… Later, it should have been Gu Yan who took him out for medical treatment, and tried to cover up the truth.
The truth may not even be known to his mother Gu - maybe Gu actually knows, but she needs to live on her mother's family, so naturally it is impossible to say it, so she acquiesces that her husband died of illness.
After ten years, Deng Yi, who finally regained his memory, leaned against the high palace wall of Ganli Palace, sweating profusely, and paralyzed like mud: "Father...... Father is going to kill me! Cousin...... Saved me......"
But the reason why his father wanted to kill him was because he did not want him to be humiliated at the hands of his cousin;
The cousin saved him, but he was nothing more than coveting his good looks and being his own plaything;
Since he was taken to Guangyang Palace, his life has not been as good as his cousin's wishes?
Such a self has failed his father's expectations and insulted the reputation of the Deng family, and he has no shame to face the ancestors of the Deng family when he goes underground, right?
If it weren't for his father being killed by Gu Yan, he wouldn't need to be under the fence of Guangyang Palace, he wouldn't need to suffer the consequences of his mother's weakness, and he didn't lack the support of his father's love when he grew up, wouldn't he be like he is now disgusted with women and admiring men? !
Even if he is excellent in learning, he will always be looked down upon......
In the future, all achievements will be considered to rely on the body to climb the valley......
He looked at the distant twilight in a daze, and only felt that all the thoughts in his heart were born and died innumerable, but none of them could relieve his torment and pain at this moment.
That day, he couldn't get up under the palace wall for a long time, until Gu Yan couldn't wait for him, so he sent someone to find him - the person who was looking for him carried him back, when Gu Yan asked, he instinctively only said that he saw Qiu Yanlan kill two guards, and never mentioned that he had recovered his memory.
"No wonder!" After Gu Yan listened, his eyes flashed with pity and pity, and after sighing like this, he was vigilant and hidden, "Cousin, you have always been soft-hearted, no wonder you can't see such a scene." ”
Sensing that Deng Yi was still trembling slightly, he comforted, "I didn't think about this matter, I really didn't expect that little slut to keep a hand!" It's just that she's done there - you have a good rest, I'll take care of this matter, don't be afraid...... Come on, go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of soothing soup! ”
Before the arrival of the tranquilizing soup, he took Deng Yi's hand and patted it soothingly, but he didn't know that the reason why Deng Yi was trembling was because he was thinking: "Do it now, can you kill him?!" ”
The conclusion is that it can't - although Deng Hanlin fought with Gu Yan when he was on guard, Deng Hanlin was already an adult man, but he was still beheaded by Gu Yan's understated sword!
And although he can make Gu Yan defenseless against him, he is still just a young man who has never grown in strength, and he is defenseless at the moment, due to the huge panic and the strong impact after the memory is restored, his hands and feet are sore at the moment, and he can't lift his strength at all!
Learn martial arts!
In the end, he thought of an excuse that he had temporarily pulled out in order to survive from Qiu Yulan's hands: "Qiu's family is not as old as me, and she is a woman...... She can kill those two guards, and if I can learn what she can do, then ......"
He seemed to have a frightened gaze, and he slipped imperceptibly through Gu Yan's throat.
