Chapter 16: Secret Conversations I
"Didn't you even give me a chance to defend myself? I told him to leave just to tell you something about my soul......"
"Confidant?!" sneered, "You've told me enough!"
Wu Chuan chuckled in his heart, and wanted to say something, but he knew that it would be futile to explain again. Because I was so wrong.
The madness looked at the darkened look on Wu Chuan's face, and regretted it a little, but he insisted on glaring at him, preaching his absolutely correct position, he was afraid that he would hear something about Wu Chuan's suffering, and he was afraid that he would know the secret behind this matter, so he would have no way to make himself hate Wu Chuan, and there would be no way to find a suitable reason to see the emperor.
He doesn't listen.
But I was looking forward to what Wu Chuan said.
"Okay. Wu Chuan's eyes dimmed, "In that case, I'll tell you about the emperor." With that, Wu Chuan walked to the table, and the madness unconsciously followed him, Wu Chuan shook off the dust on the stool with a wave of his hand, and raised his hand to signal the madman to sit down, and he sat opposite the madman.
"Would you like water? I can ask them to bring water. Wu Chuan raised his eyes to look at the madness, and finally struggled with a glimmer of hope. Usually retreating into advance, wanting to catch the old and indulge is most useful for a soft-hearted person like the madman, he understands, although he doesn't want to use any means, but he really hopes to get the maniac's forgiveness.
Although, knowing that it can't be.
"No need. ”
Sure enough, the wounded maniac did not hesitate to refuse his "kindness".
"You know something about the Emperor. ”
Wu Chuan glanced at his nervously clasped hands that fell on his legs, and frowned, there was no chance. It's impossible for a madman to forgive himself.
"Are you stalling for time?" The wounded maniac was already afraid of Wu Chuan's scheming, but he was afraid that he didn't know what was in his stomach at this time, right?
Wu Chuan hurriedly raised his head, "No!" and immediately stood up, "No." You can't look at me like that, madness. Please, just like before, give me a little trust...... It's this look, please don't look at me with such eyes, everyone in Huaikou is like this...... Smell a rat. I've seen enough doubts, please don't ......"
The madman wanted to be like his former self, smiling and telling him not to worry, but when the words came to his lips, he became, "Are you worthy?" ”
The madness clearly saw the shock that flashed in Wu Chuan's eyes, but he concealed it very well, fooling it with a chuckle, "Yes, I don't deserve it." ”
The madman's eyes changed, and a thousand words choked in his throat, but his lips moved, and he didn't make a sound.
"You're right. Wu Chuan smiled, "I'm not worthy." ”
He said it again, and the madman regretted it even more.
"You already know about the emperor's poisoning, that Ma Jing, I killed it. ”
To put it mildly, it fell on the ears of the mad like waves crashing on the reef, shocking. Astound!
"How can you ......" The madman had only killed the emperor by mistake in his life, and he still couldn't understand how one person could deprive another of his life.
"I'm not you. Wu Chuan's eyes gradually became cold, and his face, which was very similar to that of a madman, brought a cold arrogance that a madman had never had, and there was another beauty.
His indifferent gaze suddenly fell on his frenzied face, "You will be soft-hearted, but I won't." He killed the emperor, he deserves to die. ”
"Then I'm more damned. The madman said suddenly. So sad, so angry.
Wu Chuan was stunned, frowned, and dodged a frenzied gaze, "You didn't mean to. ”
"Why. ”
"What?" Wu Chuan raised his eyes in confusion.
"Why doesn't anyone blame me, why doesn't anyone kill me, why are you all defending me? The madman propped up his forehead, "I'm the damned sinner of the ages, why didn't anyone kill me......"
"Wounded ......"
"Although you pretended to be An Chu, you never harmed the emperor, but it was me, first broke his heart, and then ...... Kill him with your own hands. The madman closed his eyes in pain, trying not to cry, but tears flowed silently down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry......" Mikawa held out his hand, but stopped as he approached the madman. He doesn't even deserve comfort.
"You're not wrong, it's me, I shouldn't have come to the Northland, I shouldn't have been there before he was thirty...... I deserved to die in Ji Kang, I deserved to die fifteen years ago......"
"No, it's not like that. You and the emperor are made in heaven......"
"Made in heaven? The madman closed his eyes and shook his head with a wry smile, "He saved me, but I killed him." You say, is this a made in heaven? ”
“......”
"Please, give me a good time. ”
“......”
"Brother Chuan. ”
Wu Chuan suddenly looked at the injured man in surprise.
"It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, the emperor is gone. Those who love me are gone from me, please, give me a good time. Let me go down and make atonements. ”
"What about me?" Wu Chuan was still in the shock of that "Brother Chuan", and he still admitted that he was a friend in his heart, right?" "I have killed enough people in my life, do you want me to kill my only friend in this world with my own hands, and then repent alone for the rest of my life? Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought about the emperor? Do you really care about the northern kingdom behind the emperor?"
As he spoke, Wu Chuan pulled away the hand that was holding the door of the injured maniac and asked him to look at him.
But the madman shook him off angrily, "But what about me! You know how painful I am!"
Wu Chuan couldn't stand the depressed and dazed appearance of the madman after the death of the emperor, he didn't talk and laugh, he didn't have the grace and politeness, he didn't have the slightest courage to live, he was fed up, and punched the madman in the face, "Who doesn't suffer!
He shouted hysterically.
Sadly looked at him dejectedly, without saying a word.
"You can't pull yourself together a little!" another punch.
"Did you hit it?"
The madman actually punched back angrily.
Wu Chuan was stunned, moved his jaw that was almost dislocated, and suddenly smiled, "That's it! Resist!" Another punch was thrown, and the madman grabbed his fist and gave him a punch.
"You bastard!"
The madman's fist was like a dense rain, and he was defeated and retreated, until he pressed him to the ground and beat him until he was exhausted to the point of wheezing, and the madman realized that Wuchuan had not fought back, and his whole face was so swollen that he couldn't see his expression, and he could only see a smile in his eyes, and his fierce appearance.
He suddenly came to his senses, "You—why don't you fight." ”
Wu Chuan pushed him away and sat on the ground, and smiled lightly, "How is it, is it gone?" ”
Seeing that he could still joke, the madman immediately refused, "How can it be eliminated." ”
"Is that still fighting?"
"It's not too much to kill you. ”
"Then do you kill?"
"You don't fight back, it's boring. The madman glanced away, and there was an imperceptible smile on his slightly swollen face.
Wu Chuan smiled faintly, "Then I'll forgive you for you." ”
"I didn't say that. ”
"Well, this life is yours, and you can come and take it at any time. Wu Chuan suddenly said seriously.
The madness looked at him, knowing that he had something to say, and that there must be something else to say, and just now he did say that there was something to talk about the emperor, and that there were many strange things about the emperor's death, so he waited for the following.
"But before I do that, I need to find out what the man who killed the emperor is trying to do. ”
"Do you think someone is trying to harm the Northland?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Maybe it's just to get revenge on the emperor. ”
"If it was an ordinary poison, an ordinary person, I would think the same way, but this poison is very special, and the Ma Jing who poisoned it also has a great background. ”
"Huh?"
Wu Chuan glanced at the madness, his brows furrowed slightly, "You didn't hear anything during the days you were arrested?"
The madness was suddenly stunned, and his body shivered unconsciously.
Wu Chuan saw this scene carefully, and remembered that the emperor said that the madman had been waterboarded there, so he didn't dare to say it anymore at the moment, and hurriedly changed the topic: "That Ma Jing is a person from the Huaikou Yuanxiang Society, and it is the Yuanxiang Society that guaranteed me to enter the palace at that time. ”
The madman suddenly remembered that the black-robed man said that he had also arrested An Chu and told him to take the medicine, and couldn't help asking, "Did they really let you take that medicine?"
Wu Chuan was stunned for a moment, frowning, he knew that the madness minded that he had poisoned the emperor, so he didn't want to answer this question that embarrassed the madman, but the madman's eyes looked at him aggressively, and he stiffened, "Someone saved me, so I escaped." ”
"Oh......" the frenzy lowered his eyes.
"Actually, I deliberately let the people of the Yuanxiang Society find me. Because I know that the leader of the Yuanxiang Society, Suoni, will definitely seize this opportunity to infiltrate the Northern Forbidden City, and seize me to help them get through the palace or something. It's a deal. It's just that they don't know that I'm not really An Chu, and they don't know that I know martial arts, let alone me...... It's called Wuchuan. ”
Crazy for a moment, "Isn't it me ......?"
"That's it, I just hope they don't find out about me too soon. Wu Chuan was faintly uneasy, with Suoni's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find him.
I just hope that I can give him enough time to protect the madness and protect the northern kingdom that the emperor loves.
"I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
"It's okay, really, madness, you don't know anything, even if you do what you say something, it's not your fault. Don't always take the blame on yourself, you're the nicest person I've ever met. ”
“......”
"I need to tell you something. Wu Chuan suddenly sighed a little solemnly.
The madness looked at him.
"The person who left just now is called Fang Hua. ”
"Huh?" "I don't know why Wu Chuan suddenly mentioned Fanghua.
"He's my most trusted subordinate, you can come to him if you have anything to do in the future...... Also, I, killed his wife. ”
“......”
"He doesn't know yet. But just now his breath went in the direction of Huaikou, and as long as he went home, he would find ......"
"You. ”
"I, I didn't mean to. I'm just so angry, he's been with me for ten years, but he's secretly hiding a concubine behind my back, you know that feeling......"
"Then you can't ...... either"
"Yes, that's not a reason for me to kill him, but he can suck my true qi, and he can make me feel like nothing and back to what I used to be. ”
“......”
"Don't you think it's strange that I look so much like you. ”
