I got the test results, there was no recurrence, there was no recurrence, and now I am very healthy~~~~~ and I am ~~~~~~~~~~ lalala
------------------------- this is the dividing line of celebration---------------------
After about a pillar of incense, Xia Jiang re-entered the pavilion. Mei Changsu was still sitting crookedly on the stone table, his eyes slightly lowered, looking at the gray ground.
"Mr. Su, have you thought about it?"
"No," Mei Changsu sighed and replied, "Life and death, sages often choose the wrong one, let alone me." ”
"The sages never chose to die themselves, they only persuaded others to die." Xia Jiang's voice was colder than the wind whistling from outside the pavilion at this moment, "When this Wujin Pill arrives in your stomach, you will know that it is always right to live." ”
Mei Changsu looked at the inconspicuous black pill in Xia Jiang's hand steadily, and his smile began to become a little reluctant: "I guess I can't stop eating, right?" for I am in your hands. ”
Xia Jiang didn't answer, took a cold step forward, and pinched Mei Changsu's chin.
"Wait, wait......" Mei Changsu struggled, "I've eaten it myself, can't you be gentle?" ”
Xia Jiang stared at him for a moment, then let go of his hand and handed over the Wujin Pill in his palm. Mei Changsu pinched it and put it in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "Is it bitter?" ”
"Mei Changsu," Xia Jiang said quietly, "What are you grinding this time for?" This is the Hanging Mirror Division, who else will come to save you? ”
"Not necessarily." Mei Changsu twisted the black pill with his fingertips, "In case someone really comes, I can grind it for a while or grind it for a while, and after eating it, I will become your marionette, and I will have to say whatever you want me to say." I guess that feeling is very uncomfortable.
"If you can understand this, Mr. Su is a smart person." Xia Jiang's gaze locked on his whole body, "I said, there is no prisoner in the Hanging Mirror Division that cannot be dealt with, you either listen to me or die, there is no third way to go." ”
Mei Changsu smiled bitterly, "It seems that I underestimated you, I should have escaped." ”
"Do you really think you'll be able to escape? This is the capital, not Jiangzuo, your ability to govern the rivers and lakes is limited, and King Jing is far from reaching the point of covering the sky with one hand. Here, the person who can really influence the situation is Your Majesty, as long as he agrees to be arraigned, who can shelter you? Xia Jiang leaned down and looked at him condescendingly, "Mei Changsu, since the moment you decided to choose the next step and help King Jing rob Wei Zheng, you are destined to be a dangerous move every step of the way, and you have not lived a peaceful life." ”
Mei Changsu's expression finally became serious, he put the pill in the palm of his hand, pinned it in front of his eyes, and asked slowly, "Xia Shouzun, can I ask you a question?" ”
Xia Jiang had a faint smile on his lips and sat down. Mei Changsu finally began to negotiate with him seriously, for him, as long as the opponent has a plan, he has a chance to take advantage of the opportunity to break.
"Okay, you ask."
"You asked me just now, why don't you spend your days in Jiangzuo, but get involved in the whirlpool of the capital," Mei Changsu slowly moved his gaze from Wujin Pill to Xia Jiang's face, "I want to ask the same question now, the Hanging Mirror Division of the past dynasties has not been involved in court disputes, its status is transcendent, and His Majesty's trust in you is also very comparable, why do you want to go through this troubled water?" ”
"Chasing down the rebels is the responsibility of the Hanging Mirror Division, and it is also loyal to Your Majesty."
"Then why don't you just lock Wei Zheng up in the dungeon of the Hanging Mirror Division and watch it? When the New Year passes, the printing is restored, and then a will is asked to drag it out and kill it, how simple and easy it is. Mei Changsu said leisurely, "Why are you exposing flaws and digging traps?" Are you worried that King Jing won't come? ”
Xia Jiangmian said without changing his face: "Let the rebels show their true colors, which is also loyal to Your Majesty." ”
"You don't tell the truth," Mei Changsu shook his head, "But it doesn't matter, I'll just ask casually, in fact, I know." ”
"What do you know?"
"I know why you have to put King Jing to death."
"Oh?" Xia Jiang sat down with great interest, "Let's talk about it." ”
"Because you're afraid of him."
"Afraid of whom? King Jing? Xia Jiang looked up to the sky and laughed, "Where did you come from such a ridiculous conclusion?" Why should I be afraid of King Jing? ”
"You're afraid of King Jing," Mei Changsu repeated in a calm tone, "just like you were afraid of King Qi back then." ”
Xia Jiang's laughter did not stop, he insisted on finishing the last few laughs before turning his head, but the pupils in his eyes had already shrunk into a cold point.
Mei Changsu looked back at him, his gaze was stable as if frozen, without the slightest shaking, "King Qi once planned to abolish the Hanging Mirror Division, and he thought that a real Ming Jun would not need an institution like the Hanging Mirror Division around him at all. Therefore, he suggested that His Majesty should unify the laws of the imperial court, merge the Hanging Mirror Division into Dali Temple, and exercise the right to verify by the edict. Of course, the Dali Temple he envisioned in his heart is not the mess it is now. ”
A murderous aura swept across Xia Jiang's eyebrows, but Mei Changsu didn't look at him, and continued, "This suggestion was directly withheld by His Majesty, and few people know about it. But you know, what you still know is that even if King Qi couldn't implement his own suggestions at that time, he would have to implement it sooner or later in the future. ”
Xia Jiang Huo Ran got up, he didn't want to hide it at this moment, his two eyes were as sharp as arrows, and he shot over with a resentful aura.
"After the death of King Qi, this danger is gone, and you feel very relieved until King Jing ascends the throne. King Jing was brought up by King Qi, and he didn't have a good impression of the Hanging Mirror Division. If King Qi had also considered how to properly settle you after the dismissal, then King Jing would not even think about this. He doesn't divide your five horses, which is already considered leniency. Mei Changsu's voice became softer and softer, but Xia Jiang's teeth became tighter and tighter, "For you, the Hanging Mirror Division that has been passed down to you from generation to generation is very important, and the privileges that come with having the Hanging Mirror Division are even more important, but just for the sake of these, you disregard the overall situation of the world to slander a virtuous king, that is the devil's act." Xia Jiang, you are a demon, you know this in your own heart. ”
The cancer that had been hidden for many years was suddenly cut, and deep black pus and blood burst out. Xia Jiang's face became extremely hideous in an instant, and he grabbed Mei Changsu's shirt and dragged him up, choking his throat, "I understand...... You are not here to assist King Jing, but to overturn the case for Xiao Jingyu! Who are you, the old man of King Qi's Mansion back then? ”
"I'm just a person who respects His Royal Highness King Qi," Mei Changsu still smiled faintly, "Back then, there were people all over the world who admired His Royal Highness King Qi, you should know." ”
Xia Jiang's hand tightened, Mei Changsu suddenly felt a huge pain in his throat, unable to breathe, and when his eyes began to blacken, he suddenly felt the pressure loosen again, and the whole person fell down heavily, and Wujin Pill also rolled to the ground, Xia Jiang grabbed it, stuffed it into Mei Changsu's mouth along with the dust, and pushed and slapped it again, forcing him to swallow it.
"Really, really not...... It's not elegant......" Mei Changsu coughed while wheezing, and said with a smile, "Eat...... Cough...... Wujin pills, even and even good tea...... Cough...... Neither...... Match me ......"
"What Qilin talent, what Jiang Zuo Meilang," Xia Jiang's tone sounded indescribably ruthless, "I think how long can you be elegant?" ”
"I ...... No matter how elegant I am, I can't compare to ...... Cough...... It's not as bold as Xia Shouzun," Mei Changsu calmed down and said, "What do you mean by forcing me to take this medicine?" Could it be that when all the talk is said and done, you still dare me to go to see Your Majesty? ”
"You can go to see Your Majesty, but you don't have a chance to speak," Xia Jiang pulled him up from the ground and threw him on the stone bench, "I just want you to die now, but you won't die in the Hanging Mirror Division." That's right, you are so powerful, so powerful that I am afraid, so powerful that no matter what you say, I dare not record a confession and report it to Your Majesty, because I am afraid that there is a trap in it that I cannot see. But what's the use of being so powerful no matter how powerful you are, I'm still the same sentence, and if you die, you'll have nothing. I'll admit now that I can't fight you, but ...... I can take your life. When I clean you up, I'll deal with King Jing again......"
As soon as Xia Jiang said this, his face suddenly changed, he turned around suddenly, and shouted, "Who is it?" ”
Before the words fell, behind the rockery next to the weeping willow tree, a slender figure had slowly appeared. Under the backdrop of the all-black dress, Xia Dong's face was even paler, and her red eyes looked straight at her master, expressionless.
"Dong'er," Xia Jiang was stunned for a moment, "How did you get here?" ”
"Because it's in the Hanging Mirror Division, Brother Chun was a little careless, and I thought of a way to get rid of him." Xia Dong stepped forward slowly, his eyes were confused, "Thanks to Master's training for many years, if I don't have this ability, what else can I do?" ”
After all, he was an apprentice who was brought up since childhood, and Xia Jiang's expression was a little uncomfortable, "When did you come here?" ”
"Master came here when he wasn't so excited." Xia Dong stopped by the steps of the thatched pavilion and raised his head. Her face was as light as snow, but there were hot tears in her eyes, "Master, I have always thought that what the Hanging Mirror Division has passed down from generation to generation is the concept of loyalty, justice, and decontamination and decontamination for the imperial court, and you have always taught me this before...... But why, I can't understand what you're doing today? ”
"The teacher is interrogating the criminal, you go down first." Xia Jiang interrupted her coldly.
"Even if he's a human criminal, I don't know since when the Hanging Mirror Division can stuff poison into the mouth of a human criminal?"
Mei Changsu interjected with a smile: "It has been started a long time ago, this Wujin Pill has also been passed down from generation to generation, not created by your master, don't wronged him, it's just that it hasn't been passed on to you yet." ”
Xia Jiang didn't look back, and with a wave of his hand, he pointed at Mei Changsu's dumb hole, and still said to Xia Dong: "To deal with extraordinary people, you must have extraordinary means, and if you don't know many things, don't ask more." ”
Xia Dong took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked clearly: "Master, I don't have to ask about other things, but what you said just now, I can't help but ask." ...... year King Qi's old case, it is closely related to me. I wonder, what exactly is your role in this? ”
"Presumptuous!" Xia Jiang finally sank his face, "Did you question Master like this?" What you've done during this time is really disappointing, isn't this Mei Changsu pouring something into your head? King Qi conspired against him, and he deserved it! Have you forgotten that your husband died at the hands of Lin Xie because of this! ”
Xia Dong stared at this old man who had been respected for many years through his blurred teary eyes, and he was extremely disappointed and desperate in his heart. Mei Changsu sat on the stone bench in the pavilion and looked at her, his eyes soft and pitying. He could feel Xia Dong's sadness and anger at the moment, but the truth was the truth, and sooner or later it would shatter all the illusory warmth, allowing people to see the cold, despicable face distorted by selfish desires.
"Master, I beg you one last time...... Give him the antidote, and go back......" Xia Dong's voice had become scattered and trembling at this moment, Xia Jiang's eyes flashed murderous, making her heart cold, but she couldn't escape, "Heaven is at ease in people's hearts, if you can't repent, you will kill ten Mei Changsu, and it will be useless......"
Xia Jiang's face was still like a frozen river, and there was no sign of melting. Although he didn't have the intention of being a killer at this time, it was not because of the love of master and apprentice, but because of the identity of the Xia Dong Sanpin Hanging Mirror Envoy and the general's widow, he couldn't dispose of it as he wanted.
But the stalemate could not last forever, and after a moment of hesitation, Xia Jiang grabbed Mei Changsu and lifted him up, while letting out a scream from his mouth. Xia Dong knew the meaning of this scream, slowly closed his eyes, and stood silently and coldly.
When the last trace of the long and high whistle swept through the air, Xia Chun and Xia Qiu rushed from a distance one after the other, and only a few vertical leaps came to the front of the Mao Pavilion. Surprisingly, Xia Qiu was exactly the same as Xia Dong's outfit at the moment, and she was actually wearing a black women's skirt with the same hairpin on her head.
"Master," Xia Chun of course also discovered his mistake at this time, his face suddenly turned a little blue, and he hurriedly came to Xia Jiang to salute, "Please forgive the apprentice for being overlooked for a moment and not noticing ......"
"You don't have to say it, take Xia Dong back to her own room, keep it strictly guarded, and don't let her come out without my order, and no one is allowed to contact her."
"Yes."
Xia Qiu was obviously the only one among all who didn't understand the situation yet, so she immediately rushed forward in surprise and asked, "Master, did Dong'er make any mistakes, why did you punish her so heavily?" ”
"Especially you, without my permission, you will never be allowed to see her in private!" Xia Jiang narrowed his eyes, and his tone became more stern.
"Master......"
"Forget it, Brother Qiu," Xia Dong smiled sadly, his chest twisting with the pain of being completely cut off from everything he believed in in the past, "No more need. Master wanted to teach me something new, but I couldn't learn it, and I didn't want to learn it, so he got angry......"
Xia Qiu looked at her blankly, and then looked back at the master's iron-like face, obviously not understanding. At this time, Xia Chun stepped forward, pulled Xia Dong's arm, and motioned for her to go with him. Xia Dong didn't resist, turned around obediently, looked at Xia Chun with sad eyes, and said, "Brother Chun, have you learned these skills of Master?" ”
Xia Chun turned his head, avoided her gaze, and held her wrist instead. Before being pulled away, Xia Dong turned around and glanced at Mei Changsu. The latter couldn't speak yet, so he could only show her a faint smile, and although the smile was so warm and soft, Xia Dong's tears couldn't help but roll down his cheeks.
This is the last fragile tear of the female hanging mirror, and when it falls silently into the dust under her feet, Xia Dong's heart has condensed into ice.
