Chapter 324: His Promise with Daddy
The people who followed in couldn't help but gasp, and they had a new understanding of the people in southern Xinjiang.
"How?" Mo Pinglan picked up everyone.
"Commander, you ...... See for yourself. ”
Mo Pinglan's eyes froze, and then shrunk.
It turned out that the child was dead.
She was placed in a large glass box, and her body was crawling with all kinds of insects, densely packed, making people's scalp tingle and wanting to vomit at a glance.
There was almost no flesh on the child's body, and she could clearly see the white bones one by one, and even the face had become a pile of white bones with flesh and blood, which entered her eye sockets.
Chen Qiao's hand clenched, "This demon, I must catch him alive and skin him alive to make a human skin lantern." ”
Mo Pinglan stood quietly for a while, and said to Chen Qiao, "Burn this place." ”
Chen Qiao pointed at the girl, "But ......"
"It's not lovesickness, but it's also a lovely child, and you can't let her die and not be at peace, let alone become a vessel for these poisonous insects."
Chen Qiao took the order, he took people to the kitchen to find oil, poured it all in the hole, and then lit a fire.
The fire burned so hard that the insects made strange noises in the fire, and even some of them looked like human screams.
This fire even burned the villa, and Mo Pinglan led the people to retreat.
Everyone was silent along the way, and no one was in a bad mood.
Whoever sees such a thing will not be in a good mood, and it is estimated that they will have nightmares for half a month.
Mo Pinglan instructed Chen Qiao, "Tell everyone about this matter, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Well, where is the lady?"
"I'll go and tell her that the child hasn't been found, don't irritate her."
Chen Qiao was still a little uneasy, "Then how can you be sure that it is not ......?"
He couldn't say the word Acacia, and when he thought of the girl's tragic condition, Chen Qiao's mouth was wooden.
Mo Pinglan looked at the sky faintly, he sighed, "I don't know, but there is a feeling that maybe this is called the father-daughter connection." ”
As soon as he entered the door, Chang'an was already waiting.
"How?"
Mo Pinglan's body smelled of fireworks, he shook his head, "The child was not found, it is estimated that he was sent out to see a doctor." ”
"He Huan'er would be so kind?" Chang'an didn't believe it.
"We searched inside and out, it really didn't, don't worry, the telegram from Yuzhou should arrive tomorrow."
What else does Chang'an have to say, Helian Yao and Xue Xue are back.
Helian Yao was wet, and there was sand all over his body.
Mo Pinglan teased him, "Are you going to the dinner party in the Undersea Dragon Palace?" ”
Helian Yao replied to them, and then straightened up, "We're going to get out of here immediately, something happened." ”
It turned out that Helian Yao designed the old lady of the White Peace Society to have an affair with the future son-in-law of the Hong Kong Governor, and the Hong Kong Governor's daughter actually shot both of them.
Mo Pinglan realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately arranged it.
There are not many people brought by the two men who have mastered most of the country, but they are all elites.
It was quickly arranged, but Chang'an made a fuss.
She's gone, what about the child?
Mo Pinglan couldn't tell her the truth, so he had to say: "Let's go first, since He Huan'er's goal has not been achieved, she will still appear in front of us." ”
"And what if she gets angry with the child?"
"She won't, if the child is not lovesick, if we go back to the mainland, the child will have no value, she will throw it away; If she is lovesick, she will not hurt her, but wait to make a deal with us. ”
Chang'an was very uncomfortable, "I understand what you said, but I can't let it go." ”
Mo Pinglan sincerely stimulated her, "Can't let it go? So how can you let go of Qingbao? How can you let go of your lovesickness and flee abroad? ”
He regretted saying this, looking at Chang'an's face that turned the paper white, he said carefully: "I'm sorry." ”
Chang'an didn't make any more trouble, and followed on the boat.
Sure enough, as Helian Yao expected, the Governor's people really caught up.
Fortunately, they left in time, and the Governor did not dare to mobilize artillery to bombard them, and there was no danger along the way.
Helian Yao was wrapped tightly in the snow, and he couldn't wait to be with her for twenty-five hours a day.
Chang'an couldn't hinder the reunion of a family of three, so he walked to the deck alone to breathe.
She was on this side, but she heard someone whispering on the other side.
What children, bugs, burned.
When she heard the child, she was sensitive, and she couldn't help but go around.
Those two people were Mo Pinglan's people, and they were startled when they saw Chang'an, and they didn't dare to come out.
Chang'an has learned how to fake the tiger in the past few years, "Tell me again what you said." ”
The two of them were submissive, and they had made a big mistake, and the commander mentioned it rigorously at that time, but because they were both on the scene, they always couldn't sleep well these days so they talked about it in private, but they didn't think to listen to it to Chang'an.
But Chang'an is also a commander in their eyes, and now Chen Qiao intentionally or unintentionally let them know that this commander is a woman and the mother of Commander Mo's child, although they don't understand what is going on, they know that this person can't afford to offend.
So, they felt that they were dead left and right, so they told Chang'an.
Chang'an almost fell down when he heard this, and his whole body was covered with piercing pain.
She stumbled to find Mo Pinglan and grabbed his shirt.
Mo Pinglan was in a meeting with Chen Qiao, but he didn't expect Chang'an to appear.
He stood up and half-hugged her, "Let's go out and talk about something." ”
The two of them returned to the deck.
Chang'an tugged at his collar and never let go, but his trembling fingers didn't have any strength at all, "Mo Pinglan, what's the matter with the child?" How did you burn her to death? ”
Mo Pinglan knew that he couldn't hide it, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Chang'an, that's not lovesickness." ”
Chang'an was so frightened and grieved that she lost her mind, and she yelled at him, "Of course you would say that now, you killed our child." ”
"Chang'an! You sober up, I'll take you to see Acacia as soon as we go back to Yuzhou. ”
"I don't believe it, you can just find a child and say it's lovesick, I haven't seen it."
Mo Pinglan was very distressed, he hugged the person tightly, and didn't let go even if Chang'an beat him, "Chang'an, be good, listen to me." Even if you haven't seen Xue Xue, she won't lie to you. ”
"You talk nonsense, you will collude with her, she is afraid that I will be sad and can tell lies."
This Chang'an has reached a dead end and can't get out.
Mo Pinglan was very weak, but after thinking about it, Mo Changan, who loved him back then, was probably like this, and he couldn't get out if he got in, so no matter what she did to her, she always followed her, and even didn't hesitate to drug herself.
Such a Chang'an, how can you bear to let him go?
"And Haoxuan, a child can't lie, right? Chang'an, you believe me, the child is really not lovesick. But the child was pitiful, I couldn't bear to suffer when she died, and I didn't want those insects to harm people again, so I burned it. ”
Chang'an was much quieter, and she admitted that she had lost her temper just now.
But when he thought of the description of the guards, Chang'an's heart twisted together, and he couldn't let go of it at all.
"Chang'an" Mo Pinglan hugged her tightly, "You must be calm, He Huan'er just wants you to be restless and delirious, if you go on like this, you will really follow her way." ”
Chang An clutched his arm, trying to get comfort from him, "I know, I understand, but I can't control myself." The other day, the child was still in my arms and called Mom, and I really thought of her as my lovesickness. ’
The corners of Mo Pinglan's eyes were moist, and his heart felt like he had covered several layers with a damp cloth.
In the past few years, they have tormented each other, but the child has become the most innocent victim.
It's because her heart is too ruthless, it's because her methods are too poisonous, and it's because she pushes her too hard.
Grinding her cold little face, he said softly: "When I return to the mainland, I will take you to see Acacia and Qingbao, and they will be by your side in the future, and they will never be separated again, okay?" ”
Chang'an raised his teary eyes and looked at him, thinking to himself if he had finally compromised?
No wonder Xue Xue said that this was a turning point, did it really happen?
If this is true, then she will definitely stop doing it in the future and love the children well.
They had a smooth journey, and the ship docked directly in Yunzhou.
Yunzhou is now garrisoned by Qi Sanbao, and Liang Rubai is the president of the United Chamber of Commerce, which is the cornucopia in Helian Yao's hands.
Even without the treasure of Yunmeng Mountain, Yunzhou is still a desirable place.
It's just that they came very unfortunately, Qi Sanbao and the two of them were arguing about whether they had children, and as soon as they entered the door, Zhao Xiaowu gave Mo Pinglan a shoehorn.
It's still hit in the face.
Mo Pinglan's face darkened on the spot, he was one of the three major warlords, and he was in charge of this third of the world, and he actually slapped a woman in the face with a shoe!
Helian Yao is naturally happy, he and Mo Pinglan's account has not been settled yet, this man has detained his wife and children for three years, and it is really light to slap his face with a shoehorn, it is best to let him not sleep with his wife for ten years, and when the time comes, the thing will wilt when he wants to sleep, and he will be very happy.
Yes, Commander Helian is such a small-bellied chicken intestine, anyone who has anything to do with his wife must be generous.
But Mo Pinglan was in a hurry, probably because he was really afraid that he would not be able to do it when he was old, so he was in a hurry to leave Yunzhou to detoxify Chang'an.
Helian Yao had a long talk with him, meaning to remind him not to go to southern Xinjiang rashly, with their current status, it is okay to recruit a few Jianghu people who understand these strange mystical arts.
But Mo Pinglan is afraid that this Gu will be harmful to Chang'an's body, and He Huan'er will definitely not be able to stop, now what she wants are those mortars in Helian Yao's hands, if they are together and use He Huan'er to act, it is better to disperse and disperse her strength, and more importantly, to take Chang'an back to see the child.
Helian Yao knew that he still had a tough battle to fight, so he agreed to Mo Pinglan.
The account is naturally calculated, but it is also necessary to beat the enemy down first.
Over there, Xue Mo was also discussing with Chang'an.
They have been away from Yunzhou for a long time, and they must sweep the grave when they come back this time, and both families have old mansions.
It is said that it is close to home, but it is really like that, it is okay to sweep the grave, but it is a little difficult to go home.
As long as I think of those past events at home, the love and hatred buried in my memory can't help but come out together.
Chang'an has not yet made up her mind, but Mo Pinglan has already come to her and said that she is going to sweep the tomb of the Mo couple.
Chang'an smiled sarcastically: "Tomorrow I will go with Xue Wei, I think you probably don't want to go to my parents' cemetery, and they probably don't want to see you either." ”
Such a result was within Mo Pinglan's expectations, so there was nothing surprising.
The smile on his face did not decrease, and he ignored Chang'an's cynicism, "Xue Xuan should go with Helian Yao Haoxuan, I will go with you from the Mo family, and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”
That is, her refusal was useless at all.
Chang'an is too lazy to bother with him, he can go if he wants to, as long as he is not weak-hearted.
Mo Ruqian's funeral was handled by Mo Pinglan at that time, and Chang'an was so sick that he didn't even attend the funeral.
What she didn't expect was that he could bury his father and mother together, and the cemetery was very well maintained, and in the past few years, Helian Yao had sent people to take care of it, and there were no weeds near the cemetery, but flowers bloomed.
Chang'an knelt down and shed tears before speaking.
"Dad, mother, the unfilial daughter Chang'an is back to see you!"
Mo Pinglan also knelt down and knocked his head three times.
Chang'an had no time to care about him, thinking about her parents' kindness to her, thinking about what had happened to her over the years, she couldn't hold on anymore, and cried like a child.
At first, Mo Pinglan knew that she was uncomfortable, so she cried.
After a while, he was afraid that she would cry badly, so he reached out to pull her, "Chang'an, don't cry." ”
Chang'an's thin white hands clenched the ground tightly and held back tears. She choked up, but her voice was extremely clear and firm, "Mo Pinglan, in front of my parents' graves, let me ask you, how did my father die?" ”
Mo Pinglan was speechless for a long time.
The atmosphere was so depressing that it seemed as if the sky had become low.
A frightened bird flew by in his ears, and a panic sparked.
Chang An looked at him for a long time, and his pupils shrank little by little.
"Did you kill him? What do you say? ”
Chang'an leaned over and grabbed him by the collar.
"You say, you touch your conscience and say. Mo Pinglan, this is the first time I ask you, and it is also the last time. ”
Mo Pinglan gently hugged her little hand and squeezed it hard, "Chang'an, calm down, I'll tell you everything." ”
"Okay, then you say, how did my father die?"
Looking at Chang'an's blue lips and looking at the tombstone that was as good as before, Mo Pinglan took a deep breath, "Dad, he committed suicide." ”
"Suicide?"
For this result, Chang'an is not satisfied.
She roared like a little leopard, "You bluff me, why did my father kill himself?" ”
Mo Pinglan grabbed her hand tightly, "Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation." ”
After speaking, he let go of Chang'an, ran to the grave, and dug it with his bare hands after finding the right position.
Chang'an's eyes locked, and he stepped forward to clasp his hand, "What are you doing?" Do you want to disturb my father's peace? ”
Mo Pinglan's hand stained with fresh soil held her hand, "Chang'an, the real reason for my father's death is buried here, I know you won't believe anything I say, wait until I find out and show you." ”
Chang'an sat down on the ground, that ...... What is it.
Chen Qiao took the opportunity to step forward, and several guards dug up the ground with sabers, and then went down to pry open the green bricks and take out a small box.
Chang'an knew that this box was just made of golden silk nanmu, and it was a toy that Mo Ruqian asked a famous craftsman to make for her according to the principle of mechanical skills.
Mo Pinglan handed the box to her, "You know how to open the box, you can see it yourself." ”
Chang'an looked at the delicate carvings on the box, and shook his hands and pressed them according to the memories of his childhood.
Finally, the box opened, and a neatly folded piece of parchment protruded from the base.
She unfolded, and the self inside trembled, not Daddy's strong and powerful Xiaokai, but it was still Daddy's handwriting.
She shook her hands and read it word by word, word by word to understand the meaning of it.
Mo Pinglan's rare look was sluggish, he personally buried the soil back, and whispered to Chang'an: "I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter." ”
Chang An shook his hands and put the parchment back, and was silent for a while before saying: "This is my father's last words, I believe you won't fake it, but why sacrifice him as a terminally ill old man?" ”
"It's because he's terminally ill. Dad knew that he wouldn't live long, but the Heavenly Maiden Club was still there, He Huan'er was still there, and the thing he hated the most in his life was still there, and he couldn't allow it. That day, he called me into the room and had a deep talk with me, it turned out that he already knew He Huan'er's identity, but he didn't know my intentions. ”
"He is willing to give me all the money and property of the Mo family, just begging me to deal with He Huan'er and keep you safe, and I also took this opportunity to tell me all about my plan, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glad that I was not confused by He Huan'er. But at that time, my plan entered a bottleneck, and He Huan'er discovered that there was an unknown force behind her dealing with the Heavenly Maiden Society, and she suspected me. I didn't expect my father to be able to see through this when he was sick, and he gave me an idea to exchange his life for He Huan'er's unconditional trust in me. ”
"I won't agree, I said you'd hate me for the rest of my life. Dad said that I am a woman, and I can't even protect you, and I still talk about love and hate. But in the end, I didn't say yes, I said I'd think of something else. ”
Chang'an's eyes were raised, and the past flashed in his mind like a marquee, "Your solution is to share the bed with He Huan'er?" ”
"Well, I haven't touched her before, but I want her to trust, so I ...... He Huan'er likes to play scheming, she pretended to be pregnant because she wanted to wait for you to give birth to a child, and then pretend to be born prematurely, and snatch your child to raise by her side. But because of this, her plan to deal with Helian Yao couldn't be implemented, and in the end, she could only forge her mother's suicide note and make Xue Ling and Helian Yao turn against each other through you......"
These fragments are connected more and more clearly, but at that time, I was in pain and confused, and I felt that life was worse than death.
Mo Pinglan continued, "Do you remember that day I bought you tofu brain and sent it back? The kitchen also brought a bowl to my father, and he drugged himself in it...... When I heard the news, I knew that he was going to force me to take this step, so I hurried over, he was hiding this suicide note on his body, I found it when I was changing his clothes, he was afraid that you would misunderstand me, so he wrote this in that situation. ”
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
Mo Pinglan said sadly: "Let me tell you, isn't my father dying in vain? All I could do was follow what he said, and that's when I realized how wrong I had been. Dad is right, in the face of national affairs, personal grievances are not worth mentioning. The Celestial Maidens Society was originally a demonic cult, and they could not be allowed to involve the people in the war again. Although the warlords are fighting each other now, there will always be one or two people who agree to the situation in the end, rather than letting these women play with the world. ”
Chang'an didn't know what to say except crying, she hated Mo Pinglan and her father at this time. Did they think about her when they did this? She became an orphan and had to turn her lover into her father's murderer.
Mo Pinglan walked a few steps in front of her, held her face and said: "Chang'an, I know you hate me, but please don't resent Dad, he is a real hero, a man who stands up to the sky." I am ashamed of his nurturing grace, and even more ashamed of his teaching. The grievances of their previous generation were originally caused by Princess Yiping, and my mother also had something wrong. But I blame all the suffering I have endured on your father and your mother, and I do not even appreciate their nurturing grace in the slightest, but I will take revenge, and I am not worthy to be his son at all. ”
Chang An broke free of his hand and slapped him in the face a few times, "Then why didn't you tell me in Yuzhou in the past few years?" ”
His expression was obscure, "What do you say?" Can you believe me? What's more, my father did die because of me. ”
"You bastard, Mo Pinglan, you bastard."
As he spoke, Chang'an beat him even more fiercely, Chen Qiao lowered his head and walked away with the people.
Chang'an continued to fight, and in the end he simply stood up and punched and kicked.
Mo Pinglan didn't move, he pursed his lips tightly, even with a little smile, but the corners of his eyes were moist.
Mo Ru had complicated feelings for him before, why shouldn't he?
There are many times when he even blames fate for why he is not Mo Ru's son.
It wasn't until he had Chang'an that he retracted this ridiculous idea, if he was really Mo Ru's son, he wouldn't be able to be with Chang'an.
This is fate, she will always leave a window when she closes a door for you. He is not the son of Mo Ru, but he can be his son-in-law, what else does he have to complain about?
The previous feud was all gone, but he regretted that he woke up late, and now facing Chang'an, only guilt remains.
Chang'an beat him tiredly, his butt was crooked on the ground, and he went to hug the tombstone again, "Dad, mother, what do you say this is?" ”
Mo Pinglan hugged her waist from behind, "Chang'an, I'm sorry." I swore at my father's grave that I would compensate you for the rest of my life. ”
Chang'an didn't have any strength, she let Mo Pinglan hold her, cried for a while, and then looked at the sky and became clear.
When she went back, Mo Pinglan hugged her, she leaned softly in his arms, but her mood was never more relaxed.
After all, Mo Pinglan is father killer This big stone has been pressing on her heart for several years, although today is smashed with a hammer, she is inevitably affected, but after the small pain, it is naturally extremely relaxed.
Even if she doesn't love Mo Pinglan anymore, she doesn't want him to be the murderer of her father, because that is a blasphemy of kindness.
Although this result was unexpected, it was also her father's style.
He is a very adventurous person, so he dares to rebel against the Heavenly Maiden Society and set up his own sect in Yunzhou. He is a real man who has been fighting to protect his wife and daughter.
"Chang'an. Come back to Yuzhou with me, let's go to see Acacia first, and then go to pick up Qingbao, and our family will never be separated in the future, okay? ”
After Mo Pinglan finished speaking, he looked at Chang'an stupidly, nervously waiting for her answer.
