Chapter 121: The Past of Chen Guo (Part II)
The snow is still falling in Jinling City.
And this dialogue between the disciple and the uncle is still continuing.
Ye Hongjian, who was pregnant with the Phoenix Spirit Flame, had a special physique, even if she was placed in the coldest residence in the world, she would not feel the slightest chill, but after hearing Chen Xuanji's words, Ye Hongjian shivered at that time for some reason.
Chen Xuanji is indeed a gifted person, and he can become a leader far beyond his peers in the Linglong Pavilion of the Great Zhou, which alone is enough to prove his excellence. But no matter how good a demon is, it takes time to grow, and at that time, he was worthy of the Great Yan Realm, how could he strangle a half-step immortal realm powerhouse to death so easily?
The answer to this question may seem difficult, but it is simple.
That is, the powerhouse of the half-step immortal realm willingly strangled him to death.
This is a creepy, yet tragic story.
Ye Hongjian's gaze became complicated, and she didn't know whether she should sympathize with the man in front of her or spit on him.
"Things in the world are so cruel, I just got used to the coldness of the emperor's house, but someone gave me warmth, and I didn't know it, and I strangled it with my own hands. Chen Xuanji's voice sounded again, and the look on his face also regained its calm at that time. But Ye Hongjian knew that under that calm, there were monstrous waves that were enough to destroy the city and crush the wall.
Ye Hongjian took a deep breath, she finally suppressed the churning in her heart, and asked, "But what does this have to do with Ziyu, she is innocent." ”
"Uncle Shi also thinks that I put Ziyu here to get revenge? Is Chen Xuanji really such an unbearable person in your eyes?" Chen Xuanji, who heard this question, squinted his eyes and asked, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, but there seemed to be bitterness hidden in the depths of that smile.
Ye Hongjian was dumbfounded, deep in her heart, since a person can kill his wife with his own hands, then there should be nothing in this world that he can't do. But she didn't declare such an idea after all, not because she cared about Chen Xuanji's feelings, she just wanted to continue the conversation, and she vaguely felt that there might be some secrets behind it.
However, although Ye Hongjian didn't say anything in her mouth, the things in her eyes still exposed her heart at a glance in front of Chen Xuanji.
The white-clothed and white-haired young emperor smiled self-deprecatingly: "Indeed, I am such an unbearable person. ”
And the more unbearable people are, the more they like to blame others for all their faults. Yanyan's death made me determined to fight Munch to the death, and in my opinion, all these tragedies and misfortunes happened because of Munch! I shouldn't have been here, and I didn't have to go through so many things that I shouldn't have to go through. ”
"Hatred is enough to make people burst out of the potential to surpass everything, I thought about it day and night, and finally found an opportunity, taking advantage of the time when the 100,000 tiger and wolf riders were transferred to the frontier, luring Meng Ke into the palace, and after losing dozens of palace masters, I finally captured Meng Ke... But strangely, just as I was about to slash it, I hesitated. At that moment, I suddenly realized that Chen Guo of Nuoda had no relatives or friends except for Munch in front of me..."
"So I changed my mind, I asked Munch to repair at his own expense, and I was willing to let him live if I dismissed the Tiger Wolf Rider. But do you know what is more terrifying in this world than knowing Yanyan's identity?"
"It was Munch, it was my uncle who begged me to kill him at that time, and he forced me to do it if I didn't want to do it, and it was at this time that I first learned about his identity in the Immortal Realm, and he told me that I had to kill him, and it was for my own good. ”
"How ridiculous, the people I hate turn out to be good to me, and the people I want to kill end up being people who love me. ”
"He told me a secret, he said that he had discovered the Yan family's anomaly when he was back in charge of the state of Chen a few years ago, and that there was a huge secret behind them. So he has been secretly investigating the Yan family all these years, and what he knows is only the tip of the iceberg, but he discovered the Senluo Hall that exists behind him. And the saucers that were also planted in the Summer Tuesday Country also received news that the Senluo Hall had also spread out its formation in the Summer Tuesday Country. ”
At that time, he realized that this was unusual, and began to eradicate this cancer deeply rooted in Chen Guozhong. This was not an easy thing to do, and it wasn't until he investigated Yan Yan's body that he found a breakthrough in the matter. He knew that many years ago, I had saved Yan's father and daughter, and Yan Yan had always taken this matter to heart, and even secretly sent someone to find the prince whose whereabouts were unknown. Munch has been in and out of officialdom for so many years, and he knows people's hearts well. ”
"He found me when Chen Tingzhu was dying, pushed me to the throne of the emperor, and then forced me to move closer to the Yan family step by step, and forced me to understand the Yan family with my own hands, what a perfect plan, what a good Lord Qin who serves the country and the people!"
"Speaking of which, you still have to thank my uncle, if he hadn't gotten rid of the Senluo Hall of Chen Guo, then I am afraid that even this last trace of pure land in this heaven and earth would no longer exist. ”
Chen Xuanji said this, and suddenly laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in this snowy small courtyard for a long time.
"Do you think it was Meng Ke who made you look like this?" Ye Hongjian looked at Chen Xuanji for a while, and then asked tentatively.
When Chen Xuanji heard this, he gradually put away his laughter, but there was still a smile in his eyes that had not yet dissipated, he looked at Ye Hongjian and asked, "Isn't it?"
Ye Hongjian was dumbfounded, she couldn't answer this question, Munch's persecution was naturally an undeniable fact, but Ye Hongjian felt that if Xu Han had achieved this position, he would not have done such a thing. In fact, Chen Xuanji always has the right to choose in his hands, but he values his own life more than other people's lives. Of course, this is also an understandable thing, and Ye Hongjian has no position to condemn him.
"So you locked Ziyu in this palace just to separate her from Meng Liang and take revenge on the Meng family, right?" Ye Hongjian had no way not to maliciously speculate about the man in front of him.
Chen Xuanji smiled when he heard this, but he didn't deny it, but he also didn't admit it.
He stretched out his hand and stroked the ancient tree in front of him again, sighed with deep and sad eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "I like Chen Xuanji in the past, but I can't do it anymore." ”
"Maybe it's only by looking at her beside me that I can occasionally remember who I was at that time. ”
Hearing this, Ye Hongjian's brows furrowed again, not that he was dissatisfied with Chen Xuanji's move, in fact, if she could trap Fang Ziyu and let her not participate in the battle of Dayuan Mountain, it would not be a good thing for Fang Ziyu, but if this was the case, how could Xu Han agree to this matter?
She was puzzled, and asked truthfully, "Then why did Xiao Han help you?"
Chen Xuanji smiled again when he heard this: "In the eyes of Uncle Shi, Chen Xuanji's purpose is to be ugly, and no matter what Brother Xu does, there is a reason for it, so it is inevitably unfair, right?"
Ye Hongjian ignored the deliberate mockery in Chen Xuanji's tone, she continued: "Because people are different, this battle of Dayuan Mountain is about the life and death of the world, if we fail, how long do you think you, the emperor of Chen Guo, can do it again? Therefore, I hope you can tell you everything you know truthfully." ”
Chen Xuanji shook his head at that time, and he smiled: "Since it was Brother Xu who helped me, then why did he help me, you have to ask him, not me." I also drank the wine, and I finished telling the story to Uncle Shi, if Uncle Shi is fine, please leave. ”
Probably didn't expect that Chen Xuanji, who had just taken the initiative to invite, suddenly changed his face at this time, and gave an eviction order, and Ye Hongjian couldn't help but be stunned. She stood up and looked back and forth over Chen Xuanji's body for the last time. For some reason, she always had a premonition in her heart that Chen Xuanji still had some secrets hidden in her body. But since the other party was unwilling to speak, Ye Hongjian naturally had no way to force her, so she could only arch her hand towards Chen Xuanji at that time and leave.
But just as she was about to step out of the courtyard gate, Chen Xuanji's voice came from behind her again.
"Uncle Shi. Chen Xuanji called like this, and there was a little more imperceptible sadness in his tone.
Ye Hongjian's departing body paused slightly, looked sideways behind him, and saw that the white-clothed and white-haired emperor actually stood up straight for the first time, he stood in the snowy sky with his hands stretched out in front of his chest, and then at that time he actually bowed respectfully to Ye Hongjian: "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for drinking with me today." ”
As he said this, a warm smile hung on his face.
I don't know why, Ye Hongjian actually had an illusion at that time, as if at this moment, the outstanding senior brother in the Linglong Pavilion had returned.
And such an illusion was fleeting, and Ye Hongjian quickly came back to his senses. She knew that as Chen Xuanji himself said, he couldn't get back to his former self. But perhaps it was that momentary feeling that made Ye Hongjian's heart somewhat sympathetic to him, and she stood for a few breaths, and said, "You can do it yourself." ”
After saying this, Ye Hongjian took another step and walked towards the courtyard gate.
......
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
Ye Hongjian walked out of the courtyard gate, and the gate of the loquat garden automatically closed the moment she stepped out.
The inside of the door and outside the door are like two worlds, outside the door lives Chen Xuanji, the emperor of the Chen State, but inside the door lives the senior brother of Linglong Pavilion.
Chen Xuanji stood in the wind and snow, he looked at the closed gate, his mood suddenly improved, and those thoughts that he hid in his heart were poured out by him, like a flood piled up on the embankment, and if it didn't pour down, it might burst at any time. But just like the flood that gushes out, once it rushes, it is difficult to stop without pouring it to the end.
He didn't finish telling the story, and although his only audience was gone, the desire to tell the story in his heart intensified and did not stop.
So Chen Xuanji, who was standing in place, thought about it, and he decided to finish him. Tell it to the sky, to the earth, to yourself, and to the ancient tree in front of you.
"In those files that I copied from the Yan family, in addition to the correspondence between the Yan family and the headquarters of the Senluo Palace, there are many things that record the secrets of the Senluo Palace. For example, how they summoned the appearance of the dead dragon, and how they devoured the luck of the world. For example, the refining method of half-demons, and how to control those half-demons. ”
"Of course, these are not the key, the key is that if he wants to create the half-demon they want, he has to swallow all the dragon qi in this heaven and earth before he can do it. ”
"Although I don't like the position of this emperor, they want me to be the emperor of this. How could I not do it? How dare I not do it? From the very beginning, everyone drove me to a dead end, and I had no choice but to do this emperor with a hard head. In this way, I may have some face to see them after death..."
After saying this, Chen Xuanji's standing body was inexplicably weak at that time, and he fell to the ground again, leaning against the ancient tree. He stretched out his hand and stroked the mottled lines on the ancient tree again and again, with extremely light movements, as if he was caressing the body of a lover.
The gaze in his eyes was intoxicated, and he muttered, "In the end, it's just you... Only you have always believed in me, always me... In the end, the person who has the most negative feelings is the one who loves me the most..."
Maybe it was because he drank too much, a drunkenness surged into Chen Xuanji's heart at that time, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, his mind was in chaos, he leaned his head against the ancient tree, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
And before he lost consciousness completely, he muttered to himself, "I miss you a little..."
"Yanyan. ”
......
That year, the girl who had just become a wife looked at everything in the palace with a curious expression.
She loved all things in the palace so much, it was her childhood dream to marry the boy who came to her father's rescue when her father and daughter were in distress. She did, and there were no regrets in this world for her.
At night, she leaned on the man's arms, the spring breeze rose, and the flowers fell like rain on the pear tree in front of the courtyard gate, like a snow swaying in the night wind. The scene was so beautiful that the girl was in a daze.
A thought suddenly arose in her: "Your Majesty." ”
"Huh?" the man who held her in his arms looked down at her.
"If one day the concubine dies before His Majesty, can His Majesty promise the concubine one thing?"
"What?"
The man was a little absent-minded, but the girl, who was immersed in her own happiness, did not notice. She stretched out her finger and pointed to the ancient tree in the courtyard, and said in a lively voice: "Your Majesty wants to bury me under this pear tree." ”
"Why?" the man wondered.
At that moment, the girl raised her eyes to meet the man's gaze. There was a smile in her eyes, on her face, at the corners of her mouth, every inch of her body.
She said, "So that I can always be with Your Majesty in this palace." ”
"Okay?"
The man was stunned, but nodded after hesitation.
The spring breeze rises again, and the pear blossoms fall.
It's like the snow that fell on the drunken man on this night.
So beautiful, and so cold.
