Chapter Twenty-Seven: Killing His Wife and Mother
"Things are ready?" Agrippina asked in the carriage, and in the originally empty carriage, a figure flashed, this person is Agrippina's last hole card, the shadow knight Boglislan, everyone only knows that there is a knight of the king next to Nero, but no one will know that there is a strong guard next to this woman with a strong desire for power, but he prefers to hide it rather than let others know about his existence.
"Back to the Queen, the bomb has been transported, everything will wait until the moment the man makes a move, and then we will return to shore, and everyone will only think it was an accident." Bogrislan replied respectfully, for the woman in front of him, he had already made a heavy oath, more important than the future as a more important general protection than his own life, he only had Agrippina in his eyes, as for the Nero to be killed was Agrippina's son, he would not care at all.
"Very well, but it seems that there is no need for Octavia to stay at that time." Agrippina's beautiful eyes flashed with a cruel gaze, and she lifted the curtain and glanced at the emperor's carriage over there, she didn't want to be left behind, even if this person was her own son, the desire for power had already made her give up all her family affection.
When they arrived at the seaside banquet, the rest of the Praetorian Guards were not allowed to enter, and with the emperor's entourage, such as Otto, who had always been very supportive of him politically, and of course Seneca were all eligible for such a banquet, there was a huge ship docked on the seashore, and it was obvious that the banquet was to be held in the center of the sea. And on both sides of the waterfront. There were still a lot of civilians who came to watch. The name of Emperor Nero was shouted in their mouths, and it was obvious that they loved this emperor who thought of them everywhere, but the Praetorian Guard did not allow them to pass, so they could only stand on the edge of the seashore and shout feverishly.
Nero was very fond of the reverence of the commoners, and even when he stepped on the huge ship, he still stood at the bow of the ship and waved to the civilians. Although some nobles complained, in front of this powerful emperor, they could only hide these in the depths of their hearts at the moment.
"Well, Yu hasn't been on a boat with his mother for many years, I remember the last time, Yu was only five years old, at that time, it was the first time he came to the imperial capital, did my mother remember?" Shortly after the boat departed. Nero faced the sea breeze and let his yellow robe be blown violently. Agrippina, who was in high spirits at the same time, recalled the story of her previous childhood.
"Now is different from the past, the ignorant child is already the emperor of the Roman Empire, loved by all the people, he is the son of Julius Caesar, admired by all people, and my mother is very happy with everything you have." Agrippina touched Nero with the red wine in her hand, and poured it down with a smile, and Nero smiled and drank the red liquid from the glass.
"This wine is the favorite wine of the royal brother Brittany Ricus, do you remember it?" Nero turned around and looked at the sea, with a little memory and loneliness in his eyes, at this moment, Lin Xiu and the others were dozens of meters away from the two, this kind of meeting and conversation obviously could not receive anyone's interference, but a waiter not far behind Agrippina attracted Lin Xiu's attention, because of the apostle space, his insight had long been practiced like fire and pure affection, and the other party's standing posture was only a little different, which could also make him feel confused, obviously, this person was not an ordinary waiter, Because his legs are slightly bent, which is a subtle change left by a swordsman for many years, and the waiter requires a straight body, obviously this will not happen, then this may be a foreshadowing left by Agrippina, that is, even if he doesn't kill Nero today, Agrippina will also leave a back hand. This woman has never believed in a single strategy, and in this respect, it is much stronger than Nero's persistence and innocence, but miracles, who can say clearly, Nero is holding his most ideal persistence, and he should have torn out a piece of the world, so that Agrippina had to use this most desperate killing move.
"The Emperor seems to miss Brittany Ricus very much, but after all, he is no longer there, and you should look into the distance, just like the sea, you have not sailed past, and you will never know where the end of the road is." Agrippina moved slightly to Nero's side and looked into the distance with him.
"Yu thinks it's safer to stand on land, the sea is the gentleest, and it is also the existence that plunders life the most, because the mildness of the surface of the water makes people taste the danger of ignoring it, not like fire, it hurts when you touch it, so they all stay away, so Yu is better not to sail away for safety." Nero drank the last drop of red wine, threw the cup into the sea, and made a pop without making a splash.
"It's not like my adventurous son, I remember when you were a kid you used to like to ask what was on the other side of the sea, why did you give up that idea now?" Agrippina chuckled and brought up an interesting story from Nero's childhood, at that time, Nero was very fond of asking questions, and often left Agrippina speechless, so angry that he did not know how many times he had been taught him.
"Because Yu has grown up, he is not the little child who often surrounds his mother and asks this and that, and when he grows up, he will learn more things and understand more.
And Yu already knows that there is still a country on the other side of the sea, today's Roman Empire, in the eyes of the eastern dragon, is just a barbarian race, and it can't set off any wind and waves, if Yu's army confronts it, I believe that the senate will be very opposed to Yu's choice of war. Nero's hearing naturally came from Lin Xiu's explanation, for the Eastern Empire, Nero even did a deep study, and slowly, Nero deeply realized that if the two countries were at war, he would be defeated.
"The king should not say defeat easily." Agrippina frowned and educated Nero again, obviously, in her eyes, Nero never really became a king, and even if he became a king, subconsciously, he was still his child. Never mature in his eyes. It never grows up.
"Mother's teachings. Yu has always kept in mind that the banquet is about to start, and his mother invites him. Nero ended the conversation, and the two of them smiled at each other and left the bow together, however, in each other's hearts, they knew in each other's hearts that this was their last conversation, and the last dinner they had ever had at a dinner party.
The scene of the banquet was noisy and unusual. Full of joy, Nero is a self-expressive existence after all, when he is drunk, he naturally will not miss the best time for him to show his singing voice, words are good words, music is also good songs, but the voice is really flattering, however, he is the emperor, the emperor of the Roman Empire. No one is above 10,000 people, even if it's a fart. There are countless people who have stood up and said that it is fragrant, this is the charm of power, so except for Lin Xiu who frowned a little painfully, there was warm applause on the scene.
"Well, Yu seems to be a little drunk, Lin Xiu, come, Fuyu go back to rest, turn the bow of the boat, the festival is over, let's go back." With Nero's order, the bow of the ship began to turn, Lin Xiu stepped forward quickly, stretched out an arm, so that Nero's hand was on his forearm, and the two of them gradually distanced themselves with Nero's shaking body, but Octavia was at this moment, her eyes flashed with a strong light, because now is the best time, many nobles and ministers are beginning to disperse, looking for their small boat slowly left the giant ship, Agrippina and Octavia also got up and prepared to leave, however, at this moment, Lin Xiu suddenly pulled out the sword from behind his back.
"Why?" Nero's panicked words were just spoken, but the next moment, blood splattered, staining the wall of the ship on Nero's side, and the figure slowly fell to the ground, Octavia's mood was already excited, Agrippina just glanced back indifferently, and then took Octavia to her boat as if she hadn't seen anything, and the next moment, there was an explosion and a fire.
"Oh my God, the Emperor's ship is on fire, what can I do?" A nobleman apparently noticed the flames that rose into the sky, and cried out in panic in his boat, however, it was not realistic to let him go to fight the fire, he was not the only one who discovered this scene, and even many people were talking about it, and the Praetorian Guards on the shore were immediately dispatched, leaving only one team to stand by, and Grinus also remained on the shore.
"Why did Mother light the explosives? Lin Xiu is still inside, hasn't he already succeeded? Octavia shouted in panic, and was even about to jump into the sea and swim back to save Lin Xiu, but Agrippina grabbed her arm and slapped her in the face.
"Sober up, that Oriental man is just a slave, his existence must be a shame for the Roman Empire, if you want a man, I will give you ten, a hundred, but it will definitely not be that slave." Agrippina's voice was unusually calm, the slave was the beginning of Nero's attack on her, and she would not leave such a shame behind in any way.
"For what? No, you obviously promised me, you obviously promised me to let him marry me before I agreed to this plan, go back quickly, it's too late to save him now. Octavia frantically tugged at Agrippina's arm and cried with tears in her eyes.
With a crisp "snap", Agrippina impatiently shook off Octavia and slapped her in the face, almost gritting her teeth and saying, "If you love him so much, go back and die with him now, how about it?" ”
Looking at this devil-like Agrippina in the night, Octavia had no voice, she didn't dare to resist, she didn't want to die yet, she did love Lin Xiu very much, but there is only one life, and men can have a lot.
Inside the cabin, Lin Xiu wiped the blood stains with his sword on the curtain, ignored Nero, who was already dead, and reflexively prepared to leave, however, in the cabin that had already burned, there was another figure standing there silently, it was the attendant that Lin Xiu had suspected before.
"Papapa" three applause, although the surroundings have been burning, but the people who came are also unconcerned, and their hands are rhythmically applauding.
"Rome's first fast sword, it is indeed worthy of its name, such a sword speed, such a short distance, even if it stands by your side at this moment, it will never be spared." The figure walked towards Lin Xiu with a slow pace, and a thin sword was drawn from his waist.
"Kill me?" Lin Xiu looked at the sword in the other party's hand and asked a nonsense, but the other party proved his guess with his actions, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. The other party seems to have only slightly changed the frequency under his feet. The next moment had already appeared in front of Lin Xiu. On the premise of not having fusion cards, practice swordsmanship to such a masterful level, and it is obvious that the other party is the master of this.
With a soft sound of "dang", Lin Xiubao's sword was unsheathed and blocked in front of his chest, and the two of them were only a fist away from each other, and the next moment, the figure in front of him had disappeared. Lin Xiu pulled back, and when Dangdang made three consecutive crisp sounds, Lin Xiu carried the sword with one hand, and a series of sparks flashed behind him.
"What a quick reflexes." The other party praised it, but the next moment, the figure disappeared again, Lin Xiu turned back and supported himself on the ground with one hand, his legs spinning back, and he swirled around with a blow to the air, which was completely the insight of combat induction. There is no way to judge the moment of the other party's figure, and experience is the only guarantee.
There was a muffled "bang". The other party appeared in front of Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu turned over and put one foot on the ground a little, not giving the other party a chance to breathe, and pulled straight up, incomparably fast, like a touch of popularity under the dark night sky, swish, and slid out of the front to a distance of more than ten meters, however, only left a crisp sound.
"The Empire's first fast sword is extraordinary, however, after this blow, it is the biggest gap." Lin Xiu's nirvana just now was blocked by the other party, because of the hostility between Agrippina and Nero, the other party obviously had a key study in this aspect, just in order to win at this moment, Lin Xiu's body is now suspended, his back is open, this is the best time, the other party is not in a hurry to turn around, but reflexively stabbing the sword, even if he is injured, the other party will die, and this is enough.
"Idiot, I'm not actually playing with swords." Lin Xiu didn't turn around or put away his sword, he just said such an irrelevant word, and the next moment, a huge cannon barrel appeared in front of him, with a loud bang, his body turned into countless blood-colored particles, and he didn't know what the other party's last attack was.
Agrippina and Octavia went ashore with panicked expressions, however, Agrippina's heart was already full of joy, Nero was finished, and the Roman Empire had fallen into her hands from today onwards, with such a mood, she went ashore, but she also had to pretend to care about Nero, this was probably the last act against her will, it was really disgusting.
"Quick, the emperor is still on the boat, why are you still on the shore? Go and save the Emperor. Agrippina didn't wait to see the guard in front of her, she reached out and grabbed the opponent's armor and began to shake, but this guard was too short, I really don't know how Lu Dao got into the Praetorian Guard, sure enough, Nero will only do nonsense.
"Thank you mother for your concern, Yu... Nothing. The guard in front of him looked at Agrippina with a contemptuous smile and, in her incredulous eyes, took the helmet off her head.
"You... You... How can it be... No, you should be on the ship, you should have been killed by that slave! Agrippina cried out almost frantically, still not believing that it was all Nero's plan.
"It's a pity... I have let you down, my mother, Agrippina! Nero still looked at his biological mother in front of him with that playful look, without any emotion.
"Come, take it for me, Agrippina tried to assassinate the emperor, sentenced... Exile, Octavia committed adultery, conspired with Agrippina, sentenced to... Die! Nero said these words indifferently, and then turned away, not looking back more, knowing that at this moment, Agrippina and Octavia realized that all this was Nero and Lin Xiu's plan, Octavia's heart hurt even more, the man she loved so much had been using him in the end, and had never really loved him, but now, she couldn't change anything.
"Ha Lu ha, Ha Lu Ha Ha, Nero, you madman who is not a man or woman, you demon, I curse you, I curse you in this life, yes, I commit adultery, your woman adultery with your slave, you are the greatest shame of the empire, Ha Lu ha, Ha Lu Ha." Octavia laughed madly, but the guards would not pay attention to her words, and tied her up and took her away, but then a rumor began that Nero had killed his wife for adultery with a slave, but neither of them mentioned the other's name, and it was not clear who the slave was.
"No, you can't do this to me, I'm your mother, Nero, I'm your mother, you tyrant." Agrippina resisted frantically, shouting hoarsely at the slowly fading back, and Nero finally stopped, but did not turn around.
"Yu remembers that his mother said that from the day he became the emperor, Yu will not get any emotion, this is what his mother taught, Yu... All remember. With that, Nero walked away, ignoring any call behind him.
On the wall of the imperial capital, Lin Xiu and Nero are standing on it at the moment, all the plans have been implemented, and in the end, Agrippina, the woman as in history, was completely defeated by Nero, without a trace of change, but at this moment, Nero's expression is somewhat lonely, standing on the city wall, looking into the distance, Agrippina leaned on her back, step by step slowly walked forward, it seems that in an instant, this noble and beautiful woman became a poor old woman, without a carriage, without a package, and took off her gorgeous clothes, put on a prison uniform, escorted away by two guards, no one noticed, confronted by a purple-haired little girl, carrying a piano case, opposite each other.
"The spirit of the emperor's brother can rest in heaven, on this day, the Roman Empire is missing a woman with a heart like a femme fatale, this day Yu will not be threatened by any imperial power, this day, the common people should rejoice, because the biggest obstacle to their happiness has been pulled out by Yu." Nero held the wall in front of him, and said in a lonely voice, as if a person was giving a monologue, Lin Xiu stood behind him, and he couldn't see his expression at the moment, but judging from the tone, Nero, who had defeated Agrippina, didn't feel so excited.
"However, on this day, Yu also lost his mother, just... Only Qing Zhilu said. When Nero said this, her eyes seemed to be a little swaying, obviously her heart was very sad, she had been suppressing her emotions, all the time, but after really losing Agrippina, he really couldn't suppress it anymore.
"Do you have a song for your mother?" Nero turned to look at Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu wanted to refuse, but looking at the eyes that left two lines of tears, he suddenly felt that something deep in his heart was touched, yes, how similar to him, how eager to be emotional.
"It may not sound good..."Lin Xiu said this, and then looked at the emperor in front of him, who was less than one meter six tall, and he softly hummed a song that he wanted to hear the most, but had never heard before.
"The stars in the sky don't speak, the doll on the ground thinks of her mother, thinks of her mother's words every night, the sparkling tears Lu Binghua, ah~ah, ah~ah, thinks of her mother's words every night, the sparkling tears Lu Binghua, the tea garden in her hometown is full of flowers, her mother's heart and liver are at the end of the world, she thinks of her mother's words every night, the sparkling tears Lu Binghua, ah~ah~~~ah~" Lin Xiu also hummed this song with some whimpering, how many times did he expect to hear such a song in his dreams.
"Woo~~~~, Yu doesn't have a mother anymore... No..."Nero turned around and threw himself into Lin Xiu's arms, crying loudly, a man hugged himself and cried, Lin Xiu was a little embarrassed, however, looking at this thin body at the moment, thinking of everything on his shoulders, in the end his hand still gently patted the other party's back as a comfort, in fact, everyone is a poor person, deep in their hearts, they have their own stories, whether he is an emperor or a beggar.
Agrippina moved forward, her spirit was a little trance, the little girl in front of her had already walked in front of her, under the surprised eyes of the two guards, the knife fell, the blood flew, and a big human head flew into the sky, and then when the two guards did not react, two silver lights fell, and the little girl continued to move forward with the piano box on her back, leaving three headless corpses behind her, the moonlight sprinkled, cutting the grass and roots, and Nero was charged with one more crime, killing his wife and mother. (To be continued......)
