Chapter 157: The Past Comes Again
Although Li Xiu came with the ironclad army at the last moment to quell the rebellion of the Southern Yunnan Army, the situation of Dayong was still surging, and for this reason, Su Liuying had no other way to go except to marry Li Xiu, who held a heavy army.Chinese
However, just when she made up her mind to forget Lou Yue and marry another woman, Lou Yue suddenly appeared in front of her from the sky.
As before, Lou Yue stood in the hall in a dark brocade robe, his face was handsome and resolute, and his expression was more indifferent than before...... At this glance, Su Liuying's dead heart had fallen again - before entering the hall, she felt that there was a familiar light in her eyes that had been silently following her, and she thought it was her own illusion.
Then at this time, seeing him really appear in front of him, he also stopped Emperor Jing Ming's marriage, and once again proudly called himself 'the son of this world'...... All this is like a shocking dream, which makes Su Liuying fall into it and don't want to wake up again.
Moving with his heart, looking at Lou Yue who suddenly appeared, Su Liuying got up from his seat without thinking about it, and was about to go towards him without thinking about it.
However, before she could stand up, her hand tightened, Li Xiu stretched out his hand and held her hand tightly again, holding her.
Not only did she leave, Li Xiu even pulled her closer to him, hugged her with one hand, imprisoned her by his side, and looked coldly at Lou Yue who suddenly appeared to interrupt his marriage with blood-red eyes, his body was already tense, and his expression was even more cold.
And the other people in the hall, including Emperor Jing Ming, looked at Lou Yue who suddenly appeared in shock, and couldn't believe their eyes - Lou Yue's identity as the prince of Hu Di had long been known to the world, so the sudden appearance of Hu Di's prince in the hall where he was still discussing how to resist Hu Di's army really caught everyone off guard.
When they saw clearly that he was wearing the armor of the Iron Armor Army, and that he claimed to be the son of his own life, it made everyone wonder in their hearts, a little incredible, and they couldn't figure it out.
However, in the face of everyone's scrutiny and suspicion, Lou Yue didn't pay attention to it at all, and at this time, he only saw the hand that Li Xiu put on Su Liuying's shoulder.
His eyes were cold, and Lou Yue's whole body suddenly gave birth to a fierce murderous aura. Li Xiu met his cold eyes without fear, and before Emperor Jing Ming could speak, he was already cold
"Today is the big day of my engagement with Liuying, I don't know what objections Prince Xiao has?" Li Xiu deliberately ignored Fang Cai Lou Yue's self-proclaim, and insisted on bringing his identity as the prince of Hu Di in front of everyone.
Sure enough, hearing Li Xiu's words, Emperor Jing Ming's face also darkened, and he looked at His Royal Highness's Lou Yue and said coldly
"I don't know why Prince Xiao came to me Dayong?" Lou Yue smiled with his hand
"I heard that the emperor is going to marry the eldest princess today, and this prince specially asked for a kiss." After saying that, he turned to Li Xiu, hooked his lips and smiled coldly, and said slowly word by word
"I heard that Lord Li had an appointment with the eldest princess before, and if you lead the army to defeat the rebels, the eldest princess will promise to marry you, and hire the head of Gu Xiao - this son dares to ask Lord Li, where is the head of Gu School? Master Li just wants to marry the eldest princess, but can't he get the dowry?! With that, the right hand that had been behind him was raised slightly, and the package in his hand fell steadily on Emperor Jing Ming's dragon case.
Emperor Jing Ming was startled, but the next moment he opened the package with his own hands. The black cloth was unwrapped, revealing a head, which was the head of the rebel leader Gu Xiao!
! Even though Jing Ming already knew that Gu Xiao was dead, but at this moment, when he saw his head suddenly appear in front of him, the hatred for him in his heart churned again, but there was ecstasy in the description—the kind of ecstasy that the enemy of life and death died in front of him!
And Li Xiu's face turned white the moment he saw Gu Xiao's head, and the doubts in his heart before finally understood at this moment - before, after he led his troops back to the capital day and night, the ironclad soldiers immediately fought with the Southern Yunnan army.
And he has always kept in mind his promise to Su Liuying, and he wants to cut off Gu Xiao's head and give her a dowry. So as soon as he entered the city, he was searching for Gu Xiao's figure.
However, by the time he found Gu Xiao, he was already dead, and his head was missing...... At that time, Li Xiu's heart was suspicious, and he kept thinking about who killed the first warrior in Nanyun before him, but he never thought that it was Lou Yue...... Li Xiu clenched his teeth, and his eyes also surged with murderous aura...... Su Liuying looked at Lou Yue who appeared with a stunned expression, but he didn't expect that he knew the agreement between himself and Li Xiu, and even came to ask him for marriage at this time?
! For a while, Su Liuying's heart was excited, and there were countless questions - when did he return from Hu Di to Dayong?
He...... Do you remember everything you had before? Now, he has reappeared in Dayong as Lou Shizi, what does King Hu Di think, hasn't he been looking forward to Lou Yue helping him lead troops to attack Dayong, how can he be willing to let him come back?
Did something happen to Hu Di...... And now that Lou Yue appears, can her marriage with Li Xiu still be concluded?
If not, will Li Xiu be willing? What is Emperor Jingming's plan...... More and more questions surged through her mind, Su Liuying's heart was excited and happy and scared and worried, her thoughts were chaotic, she didn't know what she was going to do next, she just looked at Lou Yue with her eyes eagerly, and desperately held back tears of joy.
Lou Yue bowed his hand to Emperor Jing Ming and said solemnly
"Your Majesty, Weichen personally cut off Gu Xiao's head, plus 300,000 soldiers of the Southern Yunnan Army, and used this as an appointment to ask the emperor to marry the eldest princess Su Liuying!" As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!
Everyone thought that Gu Xiao, the king of Southern Yunnan, was killed by Li Xiu, and the soldiers of the Southern Yunnan army naturally fell into Li Xiu's.
I never expected that the person who killed Gu Xiao was Lou Yue, and the talisman was also in his hands, and he didn't expect that he would generously present the talisman of the 300,000-powerful army to Emperor Jing Ming as a dowry...... Watching Lou Yue show off the talisman of the Southern Yunnan Army, Jing Ming's bright eyes flashed with essence, as if a hungry and thirsty person saw the sweet spring, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He trembled with excitement
"It's ...... Is it Gu Xiao who was killed by the prince? The prince is really the first fierce general of our Dayong, brave and invincible! Emperor Jing Ming, who was still hostile to Lou Yue a moment ago, changed his mouth in a blink of an eye, not only changed his words to admit that he was the prince of the great yong, but also began to praise him.
Also, relative to the ambiguity of Li Xiu's attitude, Lou Yue handed over the military talisman as soon as he came up, which was in the heart of Emperor Jing Ming.
Therefore, comparing the two phases, Emperor Jing Ming inevitably had to make another plan. Turning his eyes to look at Li Xiu with a deep face, Emperor Jing Ming's expression obviously lost his previous enthusiasm, but he looked at Su Liuying, who was flustered with a smile, and said with a smile
"Sister Huang, now that Lou Shizi is also sincerely marrying you, what do you think?" Emperor Jing Ming's words smoothly focused the attention of all the people in the audience on Su Liuying.
Lou Yue and Li Xiu's eyes looked at Su Liuying even more earnestly. At this moment, it seemed that she had returned to Yunmengtai five years ago, and Li Xiu and Lou Yue at that time were also like today, and handed her the peach branch in their hands at the same time.
At that time, she was just an innocent and ignorant little girl, who liked whomever she liked, she would take whomever she wanted, she wouldn't think about his life experience, and she wouldn't care what the consequences of the choices she made would be, everything but according to her own mind...... But now, she has already experienced all the suffering and sorrow in the world, and she has become the eldest princess of Dayong, shouldering responsibility, and she has long been the willful and simple girl she was back then.
And the two men in front of her who made her choose are no longer what they used to be, and the peach branch in her hand has become a military power that shakes the world...... Su Liuying sat in a daze, her mind was messy.
With her heart, she would choose to marry Lou Yue without hesitation. However, will Li Xiu be willing, his 300,000 ironclad soldiers are guarding outside the city.
But if Li Xiu is chosen, will she break Lou Yue's heart again after five years - how can she be willing?
! Just when she was in a dilemma, Li Xiu, who was sitting beside him, slowly stood up, looked at Lou Yue with cold eyes, but said to Emperor Jing Ming
"Your Majesty, Lou Shizi is brave, but what he has in him is the blood of the Hu Di people. What is the real purpose of his return to Dayong, and how does the emperor know? If you rely on Gu Xiao's head and a military talisman to marry Princess Dayong, so as to easily open the gate of Bianzhou Chongsai, and make peace with King Hu Di, then it will be able to replace Dayong's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains without effort, without injuring a single soldier, it is indeed a good deal! Hearing this, Emperor Jing Ming's expression was slightly stunned, and he finally came back to his senses from the joy of the military talisman, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Xiu was reasonable.
And Li Xiu's lieutenant also took the opportunity to say
"Your Majesty, Dayong and Hu Di are at war, at this time, we must not be deceived by the prince Hu Di, let alone marry the princess to him, we should kill him as a strong enemy - he can kill Gu Xiao today, and when Hu Di and Da Yong go to war tomorrow, he can also kill us in turn, or even Your Majesty...... Therefore, this person must not be kept, kill him to get rid of future troubles! Lou Yue had already expected that he would be questioned by everyone when he returned to Dayong this time, so he took the initiative to hand over the military talisman of the Southern Yunnan army at the beginning of entering the hall, in order to gain the trust of Emperor Jing Ming and stop the marriage between Su Liuying and Li Xiu.
However, now that he was provoked by Li Xiuyi, Emperor Jing Ming's already hesitant heart shook again, and he couldn't help but look at Lou Yue hesitantly, and said coldly
"Lord Sima's concern is not unreasonable. Lou Yue, even if I am willing to believe that you are obedient to the great mediocrity, but what proof do you have to get rid of the relationship with Hu Di, and not to be the prince of Hu Di, but to be the prince of the great mediocrity? Lou Yue's eyes looked at Su Liuying, who was pale, and said firmly
"I'd rather be a negative person in the world than a negative firefly. Therefore, I am not uncommon with the great prince of Hu Di, I just need to be with her. It turned out that Lou Yue, who had recovered his memory, went to Bianzhou to find Su Liuying, but he was always stopped outside the city.
Just when he was at a loss, King Hu Di sent someone to urge him to return to Hu Di, and told him that the civil strife of Dayong had begun, and it was the best opportunity for Hu Di to invade the south.
After learning the news, Lou Yue couldn't sit still anymore, and forced himself into Bianzhou, only to learn that Su Liuying had already returned to the capital to rescue the driver, he didn't think about it, and rushed to the capital non-stop, but met Li Xiu on the road with the ironclad army rushing to the capital.
Seeing that the Ironclad Army had fallen into the hands of Li Xiu, Lou Yue noticed that something was unusual, and he mixed into the Ironclad Army, and actually learned of the agreement between Su Liuying and Li Xiu...... Although he didn't know how the talisman he gave Su Liuying would fall into Li Xiu's hands, he would definitely not watch Su Liuying marry Li Xiu.
Therefore, as soon as the ironclad soldiers entered the city, he was the first to find Gu Xiao, the king of Southern Yunnan, and regardless of the thousands of troops gathered around him, he took the head of Gu Xiao with a long sword alone, and even took the military talisman of the Southern Yunnan army from him...... From the moment he resolutely resisted the decree and left Hu Di, Lou Yue never thought of going back to Hu Di, so now he is not only not the prince of Hu Di, but also a traitor to Hu Di.
He betrayed the Lou family and Hu Di, and now, his world has nothing but Su Liuying, so he will risk the rain of guns and swords to desperately cut off Gu Xiao's head and get the talisman, just to have one more bargaining chip when competing with Li Xiu for her...... Listening to his words, Su Liuying already understood that he chose to betray Hu Di for her.
Her heart trembled, and at this time, Su Liuying couldn't care about anything else, and there was only Lou Yue left in her heart, and he could give up everything for her.
And she has been tormented by pain and grief for so long, and at this moment, she just wants to let go of the responsibilities and all the worries on her shoulders willfully, follow her heart, marry him, and go with him...... Su Liuying got up and walked towards Lou Yue with firm steps.
Seeing her walking towards her, dressed in a red dress, the corners of Lou Yue's mouth were raised, and the most dazzling smile appeared on her handsome face.
But the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly tightened, and his body was already running towards Su Liuying like an arrow off the string.
But no matter how fast he is, he can't be as fast as Li Xiu, who was prepared in advance. After Lou Yue said Fang Cai's words, Li Xiu had clearly felt the change in Su Liuying's mood around him.
He knew that five years ago she had chosen herself, and now she was going to abandon him...... Thinking that he was going to lose her again, Li Xiu's blood-red eyes flashed with a cold light, and it was after Su Liuying got up, he shot at the acupoint of the knife like electricity, making her unable to move, and took the dagger from her waist with his hand, and the tip of the knife was aimed at her heart.
"Lou Yue, I heard that you gave her this dagger to defend herself, and now, either I will kill her with it, or you will kill yourself and disappear into this world forever, which will save her a dilemma, and she can marry me with peace of mind and be with me!"
Li Xiu's expression fell into madness, dragging Su Liuying's immobile body to approach Lou Yue step by step, gritting his teeth and laughing
"If I can't get her, I can only destroy her. If you want to save her, you can only trade your life! The sudden change caught everyone present off guard, not only did Lou Yue not expect Li Xiu to make such a crazy move, but Su Liuying was so shocked that her breath was stagnant.
Without waiting for Lou Yue to speak, Su Liuying was already panicked
"Li Xiu, I'll marry you...... You let Lou Yue go and let him go......"
"No, he must die today!" Li Xiu's blood-red eyes stared at Lou Yue with a cold face, and said hatefully
"As long as he is there, he will always be an obstacle between you and me, and your heart will never return to mine...... Liuying, you forced me, when did you only see his kindness to you in your eyes, but you can no longer see my dedication to you......"
"So today the three of us will make a complete decision, either he will die, or I will die with you, leaving him alone. From now on, the three of us don't have to be painfully entangled together......"
"You're always the only one who is entangled and refuses to let go, Liuying and I have long been in love, it's just that you can't get out of the magic barrier!" I don't know when, Emperor Jing Ming and the others were frightened by Li Xiu's madness, afraid that the pond fish would have quietly retreated, and in the entire hall, only the three of them remained, but the ironclad soldiers outside the hall poured in and surrounded Lou Yue.
In the face of the ironclad army, Lou Yue was not afraid at all, but looking at Su Liuying, who fell into Li Xiu's hands, he was in a panic.
And looking at Li Xiu's crazy expression at the moment, it didn't seem like he was intimidating him, if he didn't back down, he would really die with Su Liuying...... Sure enough, Li Xiu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking in his heart, and sneered in despair
"Yes, I'm in the Barrier...... From the peach forest that year, from her own hands to make a bamboo flute for me, from her to give up you and me to make a marriage contract to marry me...... I, Li Xiu, only think of her in this life, so either I will live together or die together, I will not give myself a third way. With that, he threw the dagger in his hand to Lou Yue, then pulled out the sword at his waist, and said in a cold tone
"Lou Yue, I'll count three times to see if your dagger is fast, or the long sword in my hand is fast - see if you die, or if I die with Liuying!" Su Liuying's whole body trembled like chaff, cold sweat gushed out layer by layer, and her heart was even colder.
Her face was as pale as paper, she turned her head stiffly to look at Li Xiu's resolute face, tears rolled down like beads of broken threads, and her lips trembled
"Li Xiu, I beg you...... I promised to marry you, really marry you, I will go with you, I can never see him again...... Please let him go, please......" Li Xiu's cold fingers gently helped her wipe away her falling eyes, and smiled sadly
"It's useless, today, the three of us must make a settlement...... Even if you hate me, you can only do this......" Seeing that Li Xiu couldn't be persuaded, Su Liuying tried to open her eyes and look at Lou Yue, trembling and begging
"Lou Yue, let's go, don't care about me anymore...... I don't want to see you die, I don't want to think about it again......" The days when he disappeared in the moat before had already made Su Liuying taste the heart-wrenching grief that life was worse than death, and if she saw him kill himself with her own eyes again, she would not be able to live at all...... Lou Yue held the dagger tightly in his hand, and the sharp blade flashed with a cold cold light, reflecting the same cold light in his ink-like eyes.
This dagger has been carried by Lou Yue since he saved the ancestor emperor and was named the protector artifact, until when Yunling seized the banner of the hunting ground, he saw that she was besieged by other palace maids, he was distressed, and rewarded it to her without hesitation, and told her that if anyone dared to bully her again in the future, he would kill him with this dagger...... The past is vivid, Lou Yue's eyes looked at Su Liuying who was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her cold expression burst out layer by layer, but she showed the most dazzling smile towards her.
At the last moment when the white mist blinded her eyes, Su Liuying saw the smile on Lou Yue's face, and she saw the determination in his eyes clearly, and the bad premonition in her heart came flooding her.
No!! There was a huge pain in his heart, and without waiting for Su Liuying to open his mouth to stop him, he only heard Lou Yue's soft and faint voice slowly sounding-
"In this way, Liuying will ask you to take care of it in the future-" Before the words fell, the sound of the sharp blade piercing into her body had already reached Su Liuying's ears.
At the last moment, her eyes were covered with white mist, and Lou Yue, who couldn't see clearly a few steps away, stabbed the dagger into her chest with her own hands, but the blood splashed fell on her cold face, and those few drops of warm liquid completely destroyed Su Liuying's last sanity, and completely hollowed out her heart...... The heart-rending roar was stuck in her throat, she heard the sound of Lou Yue falling to the ground, she smelled the smell of blood in the air, she seemed to see bright red blood gurgling out of his body, and finally turned into a little blood-like peach blossom on Yunmengtai, he stood under the peach tree with scorching branches in a black robe, and shot down the silk strip with her name written on it with her bow domineeringly, and took her hand to the depths of the peach forest, but in the end, his figure disappeared in the sea of flowers, and she couldn't find it...... Lou Yue ...... Where are you...... Don't leave me alone...... Su Liuying's eyes were pitch black, and she couldn't see any light at all.
But even so, she still looked for Lou Yue in the dark, kept looking, kept looking......
"Lou Yue is dead...... You don't have to remember him anymore! In his ears, a man's voice sounded slowly with sighs and pity, Su Liuying's whole body shook violently, and when she heard that it was Li Xiu's voice, she suddenly opened her eyes.
It was still pitch black in front of him, and when he heard Li Xiu's surprised but trembling voice, it sounded in his ears,
"Hotaru, you're finally awake...... Look at me, can you ...... See me? The past flooded into her mind like a tidal wave, and Su Liuying sneered with her big empty eyes
"Li Xiu, you did whatever it took to get a blind man in the end - is it worth it?" After Lou Yue was forced to commit suicide, Su Liuying was in a coma for a long time, and her eyes finally couldn't withstand the blow and she was completely blind.
Looking at her empty and dead eyes, Li Xiu's haggard description added to the sadness, but he stepped forward lovingly and hugged her thin body tightly into his arms, and said in a trembling voice
"It's worth it, it's worth it for you - don't be afraid, I've found a miracle doctor for you to see your eyes, and I'll definitely help you take care of your eyes...... It's going to get better......" Su Liuying couldn't push him away, but she smiled disgustedly
"No need, it's better to be blind, you don't have to see you anymore if you're blind, in this way, I may hate you a little less in my heart......" Holding her body stiffened, the next moment, Li Xiu laughed softly
"Now you wake up, our marriage ...... It can be held. "Cat flutter Chinese
