CHAPTER XXV
The scene was at a stalemate. The other residents of the imperial city heard the movement and all came out of their homes and gathered around Yufu to watch the excitement. Jun Quan glanced around and saw the Liu family. They looked nervous, not knowing whether to come forward to persuade or save people. Liu Tian was at the front, one hand was pulled by Mrs. Liu, who had a big belly, as if she wanted to enter the Yu Mansion to find the book ring, but was stopped, and her eyes were struggling.
There was a commotion and confusion in the crowd, and it was the elders who staggered over. With great shock on their faces, they rushed forward and grabbed the king's arm and pulled him out.
"What are you doing here?!" The elders of the pavilion looked like he had caused a lot of trouble, and talked nonsense from the consideration of the former emperor to the current situation, and then to the whereabouts of the dynasty.
The monarch had heard these words many times, and he did not want to hear them again.
"If the elder's daughter falls into the Yu Mansion, can you still persuade me like this?"
His voice was soft, not to ask the elders, but to himself.
The elders didn't hear clearly, and only continued to preach around him, and the eldest of them, Qian Ge Lao, stepped forward and bowed his hand to Yu Youqiang.
"The emperor is still young, and if he acts inappropriately, he hopes that the head of the family will be magnanimous, and there will be generous gifts to the house in the near future, and he should make amends for tonight's events. β
As soon as these words came out, the crowd became even more noisy, and the ridicule and accusations became more and more unbridled. The monarch listened attentively, what exactly those people were laughing at and accusing, and he couldn't help laughing as he listened.
This road is even more difficult than he imagined. He clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, it was the black iron sword. Raising his head, looking around, he saw clearly the faces of those who accused him, almost everyone looked at him, laughed at his naivety, blamed him for his recklessness, even those who felt that the daughter of the Yu family was really pitiful, just shook their heads and did not say a word.
It is a prosperous age, and there is a reason to be strong, and now this scene of unity of mind, the scene where even people in the sea of suffering are unwilling to break free, is the prosperous era of the Jun family that he has been proud of for 17 years.
Indeed, he was at fault.
But what was wrong, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it.
Because it's a mess of accounts.
What if you save it, or if you don't save it, the only thing that the world can free from is the shackles imposed on others. Who has the arrogance and power to save a person who is bent on drowning? Not to mention that if he does, he will be torn off the abyss beyond his strength.
However, if you can't solve it, you can't solve it?
There are people who live with peace of mind stepping on the remnants of others, and they are powerless to change it, because they are just ordinary people in this world.
But he wasn't.
If you have the strength to do it, it is a sin not to fight hard.
"The shackles on you are heavy, heavy, and you can't get rid of them, and no one can get rid of them for you. β
"I know you're not really going to let it all go and leave. In fact, you are a very proud and responsible person. β
These lives have long been pressed on him.
The sharp sound of gold and stone sounded, exactly the same as in the dream, he took out the black iron sword, and looked at it carefully, maybe the sword body that had no reflection in his heart was not caused by black iron.
"I am indeed reckless today, and I am willing to make amends with my body. He laughed sarcastically, and with a sword slashed his left arm, slicing through his clothes, and flesh was cut and bleeding.
Others are powerless, but he was born different, and he is more noble than anyone else.
Who would dare to offend but himself?
"It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to offend again. β
As soon as the words fell, it was another sword.
Everyone was stunned by the scene of the king's self-injury, and the noisy moonlit night was instantly so quiet that it could be heard falling a needle.
"If there is a giver who voluntarily leaves, I will take you away, keep you fed and clothed for the rest of your life, stop you from being flogged and tortured, and set up a farm and house for you in a place far away from your family. If so, speak out at this time, and you can leave. β
Yu Youqian seemed to want to say something, but Jun Quan glanced up at him, and he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and a huge fear made him shut up.
"To the big boss, offended. β
Jun Quan shook his bloodied left arm and gestured to Yu Youqiu.
The daughter of the Yu family was covered with scars and was worthless, but he swung his sword and injured himself as atonement, and no one in the world dared to disobey.
For he was born to be the most noble man in the world, and what he holds in his hands is the authority of the world.
The silence, the long silence, only the ticking of blood falling to the ground, was frightening.
No one answered.
Is this the shackle? he chuckled softly in his heart, feeling that the scene was familiar, but he had not known where he had experienced it.
The emperor of 800 years ago must have experienced such a situation.
Fortunately, there are people who can cut the wall of Yu's courtyard down to their knees, and there are people who can raze it.
"Your Majesty, we are willing to leave with you. β
The sound of a young child broke the silence, and everyone's eyes followed the sound, and they saw a five-year-old child, holding a scarred Yu family girl, walking towards the monarchy with difficulty.
It is Yuguan and Yu Shuhuan.
Seeing that it was a book ring, Liu Tian broke away from Mrs. Liu's hand, rushed out of the crowd, and stepped forward to help.
Yu Youqian saw that Yu Guan walked out, and he was about to call someone to stop him, but Yu Guan suddenly looked back at him, as if he had already known what he would do.
"Father, you can't stop me, I have seen it. β
There is a stagnation of action.
"This is the end of tonight's business. β
The immature voice is drawing an end to tonight's sword and sword shadow.
Liu Tian had already caught the book ring and walked out.
Where the monarchy stands, no one dares to come forward to stop it.
As soon as he stepped on the courtyard wall, the loss of his feet dimmed.
Everyone held their breath, terrified by what they saw, and before that, no one dared to trample on the walls of the courtyard.
He looked down at Yu Youqiang, and his fierce might made the other party dare not look at him, and then, he smiled, it was a heartfelt smile.
He gestured, jumped down in one step, and the courtyard was full of soldiers withdrawing.
Yu Guan was the last to step out, turned around, and bowed to Yu Youqian from afar.
The crowd was split by soldiers and horses, and the monarch walked on foot with his sword in hand, his left arm still dripping with blood, all the way to the palace.
Just like the scene of the last time he walked to the White Court eight hundred years ago.
Darkness, stretching from behind to the front, the lone wanderer, the starry night.
Small group mountain, White King Court.
The dark courtyard was slowly waking up, and the gold paper stacked on the stone table was flying, from beginning to end, in sequence, and the things written on the gold paper had never been so clear. Then, the light faded, and the White Court was gone.
Wan Wu watched all this quietly outside the court, and as the light faded, he turned to look at its true homeβthe imperial city, which was also the capital of the monarchy eight hundred years ago.
It was destroyed in a war 800 years ago and became the end of the world.
For 800 years, he stood alone in this land where there was no one left, searching for the souls of the dead, and providing shelter for the souls with his own body, from one person, to ten people, to hundreds.
No one knows how long he spent trying to regain the original appearance of this world.
He remembered the time when the seven of them had talked and laughed, and he remembered the vows they had made when they were separated.
"What you couldn't do 800 years ago, now you can try. β
"Junhe. β
