Chapter 259: Undercurrent
Gu Xi looked at her worried face, and chuckled, "Yun Shezhi, you have always been a ruthless person, whether it is to others or yourself, but how can I not be?" All your cruelty to me is the result of my willingness, and you don't need to be upset now, because I always know your persistence. ”
Yun Yanzheng lay on his side in the palm of his hand, his eyes were slightly moist, and he whispered in a dumb voice: "I just feel that I owe you a lot, and I don't want to continue to be negative." Looking back on what he had done for her, and the suffering he had suffered, he felt so distressed.
Gu Xi took her into his arms, the snowflakes fluttered outside the window to create a cold world, and the fire in the bedroom dissolved, the incense was faint, and a warm scene was presented in the orange light.
"Now that Yan Rong has not been able to die, he will not let go easily, and he will definitely fight back." Gu Xi's eyes looked at the quiet snowy night outside the window, and he listened to the sound of falling snow with the person in his arms, and said in a low tone: "Qin Wuxue has found Feng Jingning, and it can be seen that he wants to separate the love between you." In the future, maybe he will use a lot of bloody methods against us. Ah Yan, are you ready to go to war at any time? ”
Yun Yanzheng curled up in his arms like a cat, and whispered, "Hmm." ”
Gu Xi stroked her sideburns, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, and said softly: "Don't be easily hurt by others; And don't be soft on people's hearts. As ruthless, resolute, steady, and resolute as ever, I cast myself into an iron wall, invincible and indestructible, this is what I am happy to see. ”
Yun Yanzheng closed his eyes, deeply feeling the fresh breath in his arms. Knowing that he was worried about her, dismissing her, and urging her, this feeling made people's hearts burn, and it had been a long time. She lay in his arms like a child, and replied firmly: "Although you have promised the imperial brother many benefits and temporarily succeeded in the lure, he is the most capricious and suspicious of his life, and he likes to wonder if others threaten the imperial power in his hands. He is also a variable, and I am afraid that if I help him at all, he will immediately turn against us and show no mercy. You must be careful when socializing with him. I will protect myself and I will protect you. ”
Gu Yi smiled in his eyes, leaned his face on the top of her hair, and whispered, "Okay." ”
There was something hidden in his heart, and he knew more about Yun Yanzheng than herself. But there are some things that cannot be erased for her in advance, because they have become facts of the past. Now, one can only wait quietly for it to erupt, and the enemy will surely use these things to launch a fierce counterattack.
If you are not strong and ruthless enough, you will be easily crushed, trampled, ravaged and defeated by others.
Yun Yanzheng can tolerate Emperor Wei's calculations and impermanence, just because the object is herself, she has already seen the hearts of the world clearly, and has already learned to be indifferent and deal with herself, and will not be sad and sad for this, and feel heart-wrenching and grief.
But her heart is not as hard as iron as she seems on the surface, and it is unbreakable.
Often the person who cares the most will become the most fatal blow.
Gu Xi's gaze staring at the snowflakes outside the window gradually became cold at this moment, and his eyes flashed with indifference, solemnity, and perseverance and protection.
The wind and snow outside the house have not stopped, day and night, and a thick layer of ice crystal prism has formed on the eaves; But inside the house, two hearts fellowship and two hearts are at peace.
On a hidden island in the south.
On the shore, the lake is green, and the undercurrent is surging, unfathomable.
The island is surrounded by rocks, dense forests, and occasionally birds rest.
There is a vast group of houses hidden in the forest, glazed blue tiles, high walls painted vermilion, a pair of stone lions squatting in front of the door with angry eyes and round eyes, sharp claws like knives, as if to choose people to devour. The dragon's kiss on the roof ridge is entrenched, and the divine beasts on the eaves are lined up, lifelike and energetic. On the vermilion gate, a pair of gilded rings of Rui beasts sparkle in the sun, eye-catching, and at the same time show the noble status of the owner in this courtyard.
Within the high walls, the trees and bamboos, strange flowers and plants, are cultivated between the pavilions and pavilions, creating a pleasing scenery.
The lake water is introduced into the garden, flowing through the white fence of the curved bridge, and is lonely around the corner pavilion.
A man sat in front of the table in the pavilion, gently twisting the strings.
The green smoke of the copper furnace flies with the wind on the side of the case, changing into different shapes, and the faint and distant fragrance spreads in the air, with the cold air of winter, which makes people's hearts and spleens slightly cold.
The sound of the piano is indifferent and lofty, and it is like the Kunhua Peng of the North Underworld, hitting the water and flying, its back is as grand as Mount Tai, and the wings are like the clouds hanging from the sky, and it can soar up to 90,000 miles; It is like a mayfly in the forest, dying in the twilight of life, not knowing the alternation of day and night, not knowing the rotation of the four seasons, hastily declining, falling into the dust and insignificant.
The person in front of the desk has a pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a quiet and beautiful posture, a light purple dress embroidered with gold silk moire, spread out and cushioned, and a black robe draped over his shoulders. The cold wind blows the veils around the corner pavilion, fluttering, lining the characters here like immortals, leaving the world independent.
Between the grass and trees, a black-clothed figure suddenly came, stood outside the corner pavilion, and bowed to him: "I've seen the master." ”
Yan Rong in the pavilion raised his eyes, stopped stroking with both hands, and pressed lightly on the lyre. He looked at the person in front of him sharply, and said in a cold voice: "Pass the order, the lurking of all countries will speed up their actions according to the original plan, and it is necessary to completely disturb the four countries in the shortest possible time!" ”
Mo Yan, who was dressed in black and purple clothes, showed a trace of worry in his eyes, and persuaded him euphemistically: "Master, is this too eager?" If the four countries are in turmoil together, I am afraid that the situation will not be easy to control, and it will deviate from the original plan of the master. ”
Yan Rongzhen's face was slightly cold, his eyes showed deep anger, and he said in a cold tone: "I have endured it long enough, and we have hidden enough to hide it, so we can only shrink here, and I can't see the light of day, how can I be willing." Now, Gu Xi has forced us into such a situation, I don't want to swallow my anger anymore and slowly deal with it? ”
Mo Yan saw a hint of impatience in his eyes that was different from the past. Gu Xi was caught off guard, even if he angered his master and poked at his weakness?
He was secretly in his heart, and he wanted to persuade him again.
Yan Rongzhi sneered: "Why don't you let go of your hands and feet now, I want to fight with the sky, with life, and with Gu Xi!" Since I'm determined to open this gamble, why don't I take a big gamble with it? There was a faint madness in his smile, cold as a bloodthirsty beast.
Mo Yan watched coldly, and his heart was uneasy.
Gu analyzed this situation, and finally forced him to stand in the four countries and Kyushu openly; In the end, he succeeded in forcing him to lose his former calm and sanity; finally aroused the unwillingness in his heart and the pride and anger of being a descendant of the former royal family.
Yan Rongzhi waved his hand coldly, stopped Mo Yan's desire to speak, and ordered: "Go down!" He had now completely torn away his kind countenance and revealed his true nature.
In the past, the beautiful demeanor of not staining the dust and being cold in the high places was all to use the identity of the emperor to confuse the world and act cheaply. Now that his true identity has been revealed to the world, he has decided to remove the mask and treat the world that despises him with the truest ambition and the most brutal means.
The cold wind around him seemed to ignite the fiercest flames, scorching everything in front of him.
The entire well-built courtyard seems to be placed on a blazing fire, and the pavilions, flowers and trees and living people seem to let out a terrible roar in it, throwing themselves into this crazy spreading sea of fire.
Not long after, Yun Yanzheng received a spy report from the secret guard who entered the eldest princess's mansion.
During the royal hunt of the Moguo Kingdom, the prince designed a fierce beast to besiege and kill the seven princes, and was later rescued by the five princes.
Under the anger of the Mohuang Emperor, he issued a resolute decree to trap the prince and treat the Snow Queen coldly.
There were rumors in the court that Emperor Mo intended to abolish the crown prince and set up seven princes.
The Xue family supported the prince, united with the rebels of the Janissaries, and broke into the Longshan Courtyard where the Mohuang cultivated to force the palace. That night, the blood stained Longshan, the corpses were piled up in the courtyard, and the five princes were so close to each other that they resisted desperately, and the seven princes interrogated, and the Sun family led the troops to Qin Wang, so as to solve the dilemma of Longshan, which was extremely dangerous.
Then, Mohuang's condition relapsed, with splitting headaches, nightmares, and bedriddenness. When he was sober, he ordered the prince to be killed, connected the nine clans of the Snow family, gave the Snow Queen to death, and ordered the five princes to enter the imperial study to review the chapter on their behalf.
In terms of length and merit, the five princes are all the most suitable candidates for the crown prince today, and they are all in the limelight for a while; The Seven Princes were also promoted, and the Sun family was also promoted.
At this time, the lifeline of Longdu, the decline of the declining, the noble, the stable and stable, but the two princes have reached the age of marriage, and those who have noble daughters in the family are thinking about how to choose? It is to choose the five princes to soar from now on and ascend to the sky in one step; It is to choose the Seven Princes to be prosperous, wealthy, safe and smooth; Or do you not enter the royal life, and watch from afar?
Yun Yanzheng sat on the chair of the black nanmu master in the study, hugged the fox fur, rubbed the note, and finished reading the briefing. frowned and sighed faintly, the royal family is eventful, if she can choose, she only wishes to be an idle person in the mountains and wilderness, or a wandering river; Or travel to Kyushu.
Holding the book in her hand, her heart was tumbling and churning. In addition to the people and minds that can be seen on the surface, how many people are secretly designing and plotting, intrigue, carefully promoting, and competing for power.
She handed over the things in her hand to Gu Xi, who was leaning on the soft collapse surrounded by the stove on the side, and was concentrating on making small clay figures with a sharp knife, her eyes squinted, and she asked frankly: "In this matter, is there your handwriting?" ”
Although there were doubts in his mouth, his tone was affirmative.
Gu Xi glanced at the paper in her hand in the busy process of careful carving, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she smiled without saying a word. It's quite a bit of a Buddha saying, unspeakable. A little mysterious, but also a little holy, as unpredictable as the smoke clouds above the nine heavens, and so lofty that people can't touch it.
Yun Yanzheng snorted lightly, threw the note in his hand into the blazing furnace beside him, and watched as it slowly turned into a roll of ashes before disappearing without a trace.
Gu Xi listened to her dissatisfied voice, so he slowly and methodically handed the half-carved clay figure in his hand to her, and asked softly, "Do you think it looks good?" ”
