Chapter Ninety-Nine: No Way Out
Lan Yu's eyes no longer looked at Beige but turned away, and changed the topic and said, "You guys came to Muyang, are those rumors of the rivers and lakes true?" ”
Bei Ge also didn't answer her question directly, smiled and said, "Then I don't know what Lan Gongzi thinks of this matter?" ”
Lan Yu silently rolled her eyes and said, "It's really troublesome to deal with your Da Chu people, the smarter the people, the more troublesome it is."
"Are you complimenting me?" Bei Ge looked at Lan Yu with some amusement and said, "You ran out secretly, right?" ”
Lan Yu nodded, reluctantly admitting Beige's words, and said in an atmosphere that couldn't be concealed: "The current Nanzhao really has no freedom at all."
"Born in the family of princes and generals, the word freedom is the most unwanted, you already know it, don't you" Bei Ge said, also with an inexplicable sadness.
"Chu Beige, I came this time to ask for something" Lan Yu finally stopped talking nonsense, returned to today's theme, his expression became serious, looked at Beige and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that you are the orphan of the first prince Chu Xiaoyun, I believe it, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Emperor of Chu is going to kill you, I believe it, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that you are going to rebel, I don't believe it, so I want to ask you in person."
Bei Ge unfolded his fan, chuckled and asked, "Then why don't you believe it?" We don't want to rebel, I just want to get back what belongs to me, I just want to get back what belongs to the people of Dachu", looking at Lan Yu's somewhat suspicious gaze, Bei Ge didn't care much, and continued: "I have been thinking about it before, whether all this is for revenge, or for my own selfish desires, Chu'er came back from Western Xia, passed by Yunzhou, and told me a lot, this is not only a matter between me and Chu Enze, nor is it just a battle for the throne, but also the world of Da Chu, which looks glamorous on the surfaceEven if I didn't overthrow him, someone would stand up sooner or later, and instead of waiting so long and suffering so much, why not let this change come earlier? Beige's vision is deep and long, like a clear spring, and like an ancient well.
Lan Yu listened to Beige's words, the curvature of the corners of her mouth rose and asked softly, "Chu'er?" But Princess Ann? ”
There was a slight ripple in the clear eyes, Beige smiled and nodded, Lan Yu suddenly remembered something a long time ago and said: "No wonder I asked you to be my Nanzhao's concubine at that time, you didn't want to die, it turned out to be for her?" ”
Bei Ge frowned, and said casually very calmly: "It's not her, it's her."
"How can I have a chance, I really want to see this Princess An, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Princess An has mastered half of the troops of King An's Mansion."
"You've inquired a lot about this rumor."
"Chu Beige, now the news on the rivers and lakes is not good for you to inquire about, if you want to know anything, I can even find out what Emperor Chu ate in the morning, but you can't inquire about anything up and down the Anwang Mansion", Lan Yu glanced at Beige a little helplessly, but soon stepped forward again, lowered his voice and asked: "Chu Beige, how did you do it?" ”
Beige laughed twice, leaned back, waved his hand and said, "Don't say, don't say."
Lan Yu whispered and asked again, "Do you know about Emperor Chu and the Great General of Nanzhao Protector?" ”
"I just know a little bit, and I'd like to hear about it," Beige said.
"A lot of things, I also heard what the prime minister said, your father is the death of Chu Xiaoyun, the first prince of Great Chu, I am afraid that it is inseparable from Mingguang, the first emperor of Great Chu colluded with Mingguang, among which there should be people from Xixia and Beirong, I don't know who is the snobbery of which party, but Nanzhao's side is very sure that it is the snobbery of Mingguang, the general who protects the country, first used Beirong to launch a war, and then the first emperor of Great Chu designed the first prince to pacify the soldiers, and then was framed" Lan Yu said, his tone kept as calm as possible, His eyes had been carefully staring in the direction of Beige, but unexpectedly, Beige was unusually calm, without imaginary anger or imaginary hatred.
Seeing Lan Yu looking at himself, Bei Ge asked, "Are you curious why I seem to be listening to someone else's business?" Lan Yu nodded honestly, and Bei Ge continued: "Because of what you said, I already know, it is a kind of hatred that can erode the mind and body, I can't wait to kill Chu Jing immediately, turn his imperial tomb upside down, and cut Chu Enze with a thousand knives, but before the time is ripe, blindly impulsive will only make people lose their minds."
Lan Yu chuckled and said, "If I had half of your measurements, maybe my life in Nanzhao would not be so sad", looking at Beige's expression on his face, Lan Yu stood up and turned his back to Beige's direction, looked at the big tree by the lake and said lightly: "You hate him, you can understand him with your own hands, you hate him, you can crush him to ashes, but I can't, I don't dare to hate, I can't hate, sometimes I even doubt whether I hate him or not......"
"Has Emperor Nanzhao pushed you farther and farther away over the years?" Bei Ge looked at the back of the person in front of him and asked carefully.
Lan Yu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "There is no process of getting more and more, it is as if I have become his enemy all of a sudden, and my father who was so good to me when I was a child, I don't know him now." In the past, he would teach me a lot, the way of being a king, the art of a courtier, but now it is difficult for me to even see him", Lan Yu did not turn around, Bei Ge couldn't see her expression, but the slightly sour voice didn't hide anything, "Chu Bei Ge, I don't know if you can understand my feelings, but I came this time just to tell you that I need your help."
"You know my situation, what can I do to help you?" Bei Ge also smiled bitterly.
"At the beginning of that year, I knew you could help me, and now I'm even more convinced" Lan Yu turned around, stubbornness written all over her face.
"Then why do you think I'll help you?" Beige asked rhetorically.
Lan Yu slowly walked to Bei Ge's side, bent down to keep the two of them in a horizontal position, and said lightly: "Because we are the same kind of people, and this is a business for the two of us."
The two looked at each other for a moment, both trying to extract some information from each other's eyes. However, Lan Yu was obviously not a master in this area, and they only looked at each other for a short while, as if Beige's eyes had followed his eyes and seen his heart. Hurriedly retracted his gaze, coughed a little embarrassedly, straightened up and sat down in his original position.
"This path is too difficult for you," Beige said, looking at her.
"I have no choice, whether I am a princess or a daughter" Lan Yu's gaze looked at the sky, as if she was looking at a lot of things, and as if she was looking at nothing.
