Chapter Thirty-Seven: Forgetting Love and Abandoning Love
Weng Guimi's reaction was expected by Liu Ye, and from the moment she poisoned Fuma, she thought of the results she was about to face.
The "antidote" that the division got from Wei Lu with great trouble was actually a deadly poison. Wei Lu once told Liu Ye personally that the black medicine bottle with a yellow ribbon could not be touched, otherwise he would die in Huangquan.
Wei Lu lied a lot, but this sentence was a sincere warning, Liu Ye was still very useful to him, and her death was undoubtedly his loss.
Liu Ye is a princess, she doesn't have to do it herself if she wants to get rid of someone, just one sentence someone will do everything for her. It's just Fuma, Liu Ye doesn't want to fake her hands to others, she doesn't want to leave a way out for herself, don't give herself a chance to explain, and don't be hypocritical in front of Weng Guimi.
Is hypocrisy useful in this situation? Whether Liu Ye does it himself, or fakes it to others, Weng Guimi will complain about her! complained that she refused to let go of Fuma and refused to give Fuma a way to live!
However, even if she is willing to let go, will Fuma leave her a way out? If Weng Guimi didn't realize this, and still tried to influence Fuma with worthless compassion, then he was destined to fail to win the ever-changing palace strife, and his hope of becoming king was extremely slim!
has come to this point, Liu Ye needs absolute power, and no one can shake her, not even Weng Guimi. Once, Liu Ye thought that she could sacrifice herself for the sake of the big man, but now she understands that sacrificing herself is far from enough, and blindly giving in will only make her situation more and more difficult, and it will affect the lives of her cherished companions. In order to go further, she could no longer hesitate, and she had to uproot any obstacle that posed a threat. Without a future relationship, she must cut off the love thread.
If Weng Guimi understood her, he wouldn't blame her, and if he didn't understand, they could only become strangers. Liu Ye wants to become the mother of the country of Wusun, and he can't do without a king who obeys her, and that king is not necessarily Weng Guimi.
The history books say that the great deeds of the emperors of the past dynasties were laid by thousands of dry bones, and the struggle for power and power and interests were comparable, and sacrifice was inevitable. Whether it is the emperor who calls for wind and rain or the concubine who competes for favor in the harem, where there is a struggle, there is sacrifice. Compared with those emperors who gave their lives, sacrificing feelings is nothing.
Liu Ye was ruthless and didn't go to see Weng Guimi, she persuaded herself not to turn back, not to be weak for the sake of feelings. She is not alone now, and her decisions are a matter of life and death for everyone. If before, she used the responsibility of history to demand herself, but now, she is from the heart, perhaps, this is the environment that makes people change!
In the torment, Weng Guimi did not come to her, and Ubuji did not show up, Liu Ye experienced the taste of living like a year. She only hopes that the covenant of the canyon will be successfully completed, and she will not hesitate to remove all obstacles before sending away the Dahan craftsmen.
The day before the execution of the Han craftsmen in Ubuji, Liu Ye had secretly informed them to gather in the Meili Gorge at the agreed time, Wei Lu had prepared five hundred horses, and the Han envoy sent people to meet them hundreds of miles away from the canyon.
As night fell, Liu Ye came to the canyon first under the escort of Shizhong and Feng Yan, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Ubuji, the Han craftsmen left the construction site one by one, and Wei Lu's five hundred horses also came one after another, just waiting for the people and horses to get out of the canyon, Liu Ye could breathe a sigh of relief.
Meili Canyon is located thirty miles east of Chigu Castle, where the terrain is steep and relatively hidden, but it is also a shortcut to Dahan. For decades, the Xiongnu horse bandits often caused chaos here, and the passing caravans suffered countless casualties, and gradually no one dared to come.
But for Wei Lu, the Hun horse bandits were not a threat at all, and there was no idea that the bandit would dare to fight him. Whether these 500 horses can be successfully delivered to Dahan is related to his full net worth, how can he leave an opportunity for horse bandits. In this way, Wusun's five hundred horses are also guaranteed, and it should not be a problem to reach Dahan safely.
Well-trained horses flow gently into the gorge like a babbling stream, and their steps are light and gentle, like a walk on the grassland, and they raise very little dust. This is what Liu Ye specially explained, you must know what an earth-shattering sound it is when five hundred horses run, even if Ubuji is deaf, his subordinates can detect the abnormality.
The canyon is about 50 meters wide, but the high cliffs on both sides are hundreds of meters, and the Han craftsmen hidden in the dense mountain forest watch over each other, waiting for their companions to arrive and embark on the road home.
Liu Ye and the others were at the entrance of the canyon, and Wei Lu, who came on a tall horse, saw her, got off the horse with a smile, pointed to his horses, and said proudly: "What, they are all high-grade horses, Mrs. Right should rest assured now!" ”
Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm naturally relieved to hand it over to you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to do business at the beginning." ”
"Haha, happy cooperation, remember to come to me next time you have a deal!" Wei Lu didn't like to beat around the bush when he spoke, and he asked bluntly, "So, Mrs. Right, what about my remaining deposit!" ”
Liu Ye gave Wei Lu a deposit of 100 boxes, and according to the rules, he should give him the remaining 150 boxes tonight. Liu Ye and Feng Yan made a look, Feng Yan took Wei Lu into the canyon, the Han craftsman took care of the one hundred and fifty boxes of deposits, Wei Lu was cautious, he asked people to open the boxes one by one, and verified that it was indeed money and not stones, and then he was relieved.
Wei Lu looked at those big Han craftsmen, no matter how they looked at them, they felt very familiar, and pretended to ask a craftsman beside him casually: "You don't have a good rest at night, what are you doing here, how many days can the rest of the shops be built?" ”
The honest craftsman tightly hugged the small burden in his arms, and in the baggage was all his belongings, Liu Ye sent the wages to them for safekeeping, and when he returned to Dahan, he would have enough land to build a house. He remembered every word Liu Ye said, that is, don't talk to strangers.
Wei Lu is not a stranger, but he is a Hun and is more dangerous than a stranger. The craftsman gave him an uneasy look, and turned away from him.
Wei Lu is such a shrewd person, he knows that there is a cat in him when he looks like this, he glanced at the greasy little burden in his arms, and teased: "This is all your belongings?" Why do you still take it there, for fear that someone else will steal it? ”
The craftsman's shoulders trembled, he was too frightened to speak, and he shrank his head into the crowd, and now Wei Lu saw clearly that the so-called "messengers of the Great Han" who had identified the type of horses were all carrying similar small burdens in their arms.
Wei Lu had never been to Dahan, nor had he dealt with the envoys of Dahan, but the Han country was rich and strong, and the businessmen who did some business looked different from ordinary people, let alone dignified envoys. Taking Liu Ye and others as a reference, although not all of the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty are handsome men and beautiful women, they also have to have some momentum as officials, on the other hand, these people are hard-working craftsmen at first glance, and they are very similar to those Han craftsmen.
If it was really a Han craftsman, how could they appear here, and they also brought their belongings, and they looked like they were ready to run away. As far as he knew, the hundred shops had not yet been completed, and Liu Ye was their supervisor, could it be that something went wrong and planned to abandon the work and run away?
No wonder Liu Ye repeatedly demanded that someone must be sent to inspect the horse, and this article was written into the agreement, and if he repented, he would have to compensate for the loss. But the agreement clearly says that the Han envoy inspected the horse, and he didn't say that it was an ordinary craftsman, who violated the agreement!
is a good right lady, I thought she was kind enough to give him business, but she wanted him to help her sell the stolen goods! Give him 250 boxes of deposits, take away 500 good breeding horses, and send out dozens of Han craftsmen, if Wusun is held accountable, he will be an accomplice! Liu Ye, Liu Ye, really think he's two hundred and five!
Seeing that the five hundred horses were about to arrive, Wei Lu confronted Liu Ye with a full stomach, he took out the paper agreement and shook it in front of her eyes: "Mrs. Right, you said that if I violate the agreement, I will withdraw all the deposits, so if you violate it, how should you compensate me?" ”
"The surname is Wei, what kind of nerves do you have!" Feng Yan glanced at him angrily, "The deposit is all for you, and no one is missing you, aren't you enough?" ”
"What Wei said is not a deposit, but that there is a problem with the content of the agreement set by Mrs. Right." Wei Lu pointed to the lines on the parchment, "Mrs. Right clearly said that she asked the Han envoy to verify whether it was a good breed horse, and now my horse is fine, but your so-called 'messenger' has a problem, and it is still a big problem......
"Shut up!" Shi Zhong couldn't stand him for a long time, if it weren't for this agreement, who would partner with him, Shi Zhong knocked down the parchment scroll with one hand, and said indifferently, "If you get what you want, get out, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with our princess!" ”
"Huh, tell me to get out?" The anger in Wei Lu's chest was blazing, pointing at Shi Zhong and Liu Ye and roaring, "You are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, I sold you five hundred horses at a price lower than the market price, and now I only recover the deposit of two hundred and fifty horses, I have taken such a big risk, and I have to help you transport fugitives, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!" ”
"So what else do you want!" Shizhong approached him step by step, "To blackmail the princess to give you greater benefits?" Or will we all die together by denunciation? Guard, I warn you not to make an inch, or tonight will be your death! ”
Wei Lu didn't expect Shizhong to make a move so quickly, and before he could react, he was struck in the carotid artery by his palm, and the whole person wanted to be struck by lightning, and his whole body was sore, and he couldn't move. Seeing this, Wei Lu's subordinates shouted and rushed over, and Feng Yan picked up the meteor hammer and swung it over, leaving no way for the other party to live.
"Master, bring him here!"
Liu Ye finally spoke, the division carried Wei Lu's clothes and dragged him to Liu Ye, Wei Lu was defenseless and suffered a loss, and hated it: "You want to kill people, hum, it's not that easy, if something happens to me, the Wei family will not let you go." Mrs. Right, you committed adultery with King Zuoxian, colluded with the Huns to do business and make profits, and privately disposed of the Han craftsmen, you have so many handles in my hands, if you kill me, you won't be able to live. ”
Liu Ye looked at him condescendingly, and smiled faintly: "Young Master Wei, you are right, I have so many handles in your hands, it is indeed a troublesome matter." But as long as you die, I can live longer, and I can even go back to Dahan with the craftsmen and live my life incognito. I have reaped so many benefits, even if I don't become a princess, I can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, in short, it is much better than you, a short-lived ghost. ”
Hearing this, Wei Lu was immediately deflated: "Mrs. Right, if you have something to say, I just offended you in a hurry, you listen to me......"
Liu Ye raised his chin and motioned for Shizhong to let go of him: "Okay, I'll see if you have anything else to say!" ”
