[653] Broken mirror reunion
The sun is cloudy and the sun sets, and there are more and more sunsets in the sky, and only Yin Hong is left between heaven and earth. Under the blood-stained sky, the excitement of the beak and the wasp increased.
In their opinion, the Nine Shadows Kingdom is just a ghost country that has been mythologized, so they don't take the Nine Shadows Kingdom in their eyes; as for the Emperor Xudu's thousands of explanations, let them not be careless, even if they slaughter the city, they must fight steadily, at this time, they are already under the evening sky full of clouds, and they have forgotten everything.
At this moment, in their minds, there was only the exciting scene of how to conquer the pass of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and in the towns of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they waved their horses and slashed the heads of the ghosts under the rule of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
At this time, the beak and the wasp still didn't know how terrifying the Nine Shadows Army would be.
"Let the sergeants speed up the march. After the two Yin Marshals were excited for a long time, the beak suddenly turned around and gave a sharp order to the herald behind them: "Let all the Guanyuecha move forward at full speed, and strive to rush to the Escape God Plain in half a month." ”......
After the sun set, darkness descended on the underworld, taking away a large area of light. In Yuque City, the lights are as bright as day, and most of the streets and alleys are still as lively as daytime. Several fangs with night markets (one square is equal to a district) are even more noisy and noisy than during the day.
In contrast, the Yuque Palace is much quieter. In the outer court, most of the ghost officials had gone home to rest, leaving only the ghost officials on duty, still busy under the lights.
In the inner courtyard, it is even quieter, more secluded than during the day.
The inner courtyard was originally a place where Xiao Shizhu and his family rested and lived, and there were not many ghosts during the day in the past, so they could easily enter and exit it. It's even worse at night, except for ghost officials who have special circumstances and urgent reports that need to be reported immediately, and ghost soldiers guarding the inner court, as well as palace maids can enter and exit, and other idle ghosts are prohibited from entering the inner court, so it will be doubly deserted.
And after Xiao Shizhu ate and drank enough in the Juexiang Garden, he still listened to the persuasion of the ghost mother and decided to go to sleep in the Thousand Rides Palace of the fox Ji Tu Yaoqing tonight.
So he asked Qing Lanchuan to give an order, so that when the ghost official on duty tonight needed to report in time if there was an emergency, he went to the Qiancheng Palace to report and walked out of the Juexiang Garden. He didn't take a ride, but just took Qinglan and four personal guards, and walked slowly along the road in the palace towards the Qiancheng Palace.
Xiao Shizhu walked very slowly, which can be regarded as a walk after dinner. In fact, he really didn't expect what kind of mood and expression he should have for a while, to face the sullen and sad Tu Yaoqing.
Along the way, in addition to the jade palace lanterns and guards, exotic flowers and plants on the roadside have been in full bloom. At night, among the stamens, only the size of a thumb, but also a flower demon with beautiful palace makeup, is dancing with the night breeze. And Xiao Shizhu has no intention of watching it.
The letter from the Fox King has arrived, and for the sake of long-term peace between the two countries, the Fox King agrees that Xiao Shizhu will execute Tu Gongqi on his own. And early tomorrow morning, Tu Yaoqing's father, Tu Gongqi, will be pushed into the streets and beheaded in public for the crimes of undermining peace and rebellion, as well as the crime of attempted assassination of the master. Today's night must be very difficult for Tu Yaoqing.
And Xiao Shizhu also became the first Hades King to kill his father-in-law in the Netherworld. He didn't want to do that, but the underworld is an out-and-out chaotic world, and the chaotic times need to be re-enshrined in order to gain a better foothold.
Not to mention that his father-in-law broke the law, and the circumstances were vile, and he would definitely die; even his baby daughter Xiao Fuling, if she committed a crime that had to die, then Xiao Shizhu would resolutely send her to the guillotine.
As the king of a country, he cannot even play favoritism and irregularities, and tens of thousands of ghost eyes across the country are staring at him Xiao Shizhu. If he dares to cheat for personal gain, and in the future, if he violates the law of the Nine Shadows again, then he will be ashamed to say: "The family of the lord Xiao Shizhu can still be exculpated for breaking the law, why can't we? Isn't the Nine Shadows Kingdom a ghost country that pays attention to equality?" and so on, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will inevitably be chaotic.
As a son-in-law, the only thing Xiao Shizhu can do for his father-in-law who is dead is to let the executioner sharpen the knife faster and give his father-in-law a good time.
Thinking wildly, before he knew it, Xiao Shizhu had already walked in front of the Thousand Vehicles Palace. He suddenly stopped in front of the palace gate, no longer took a step forward, just raised his head slightly, and looked at the jade plaque on the palace gate in a daze, the three big characters of "Thousand Vehicles Palace", and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He was stunned for a long time, and his frown never let go. Qing Lan, who had been following him for a long time, vaguely guessed what Xiao Shizhu was struggling with, so he walked up to him and whispered in his ear: "If you are entangled, king, it is better for us to move to Tianyang Palace, or shake the light stone boat." ”。
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he was still silent. After a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "No, that's it." ”。 With that, Xiao Shizhu stepped into the Qiancheng Palace, where he hadn't been here for a long time.
When Xiao Shizhu had not yet passed the front hall, there were also palace people who went to the back hall to inform the fox Ji Tu Yaoqing. When he came to the palace gate of the apse, where there was a raised tail stone fox on the left and right of the apse, Tu Yaoqing was already standing at the door and waiting.
"Greetings, Lord. When Tu Yaoqing slowly walked a thousand blessings, Xiao Shizhu had already stepped over the threshold and entered the apse.
Xiao Shizhu nodded silently, walked into the apse, and then retreated. Tu Yaoqing followed in and stood in front of him without saying a word.
After sitting down, Xiao Shizhu looked at Tu Yaoqing's cheeks, and asked after a while, "Have you cried?", and his eyes were fixed on the clearly visible tear stains on Tu Yaoqing's cheeks on both sides at this time.
"Let the king see it. Tu Yaoqing didn't deny it, but the resentment lingering in his slightly red and swollen eyes was still difficult to eliminate.
"Do you hate me?" Xiao Shizhu asked, looking left and right to avoid Tu Yaoqing's gaze.
In the gorgeous but not cheesy furnishings around them, they are cold and poignant, and they also echo Tu Yaoqing's sadness, which makes Xiao Shizhu worry more and more when he looks at it.
Xiao Shizhu suddenly regretted a little, and listened to the advice of the ghost mother to come to the Qiancheng Palace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to, facing Tu Yaoqing, who was very sad and resentful.
And Tu Yaoqing didn't answer, just stared at her husband with a gaze full of resentment. She has a grudge against Xiao Shizhu, but she has no hatred, or she can't hate it. After all, it was her father who was at fault first, and Tu Yaoqing was not a female ghost who was messing around.
But it is precisely because of this that her resentment towards Xiao Shizhu is so heavy. She really wanted to beg Xiao Shizhu to let Xiao Shizhu be merciful, but she also knew that Xiao Shizhu was not the kind of ghost who would ignore the law in order to accommodate his family.
Therefore, Tu Yaoqing's resentment has increased instead of decreasing.
"I had to kill your father. Xiao Shizhu stopped and looked left and right, sighed lightly, leaned forward slightly, reached out and grabbed Tu Yaoqing's hands in front of him, looked at the back of Tu Yaoqing's white and tender hands and slender ten fingers, and whispered: "In this ghost country, everything else can be easily changed, even my rights can be so." But the only thing that cannot be easily changed is the sanction of the law. ”。
"If it was Xiao Fuling who violated the law of the Nine Shades that day, I would have resolutely sent her to the guillotine. Xiao Shizhu said this, raising his eyes and meeting Tu Yaoqing's eyes.
Under the intersection of the four eyes, Tu Yaoqing saw the resoluteness in Xiao Shizhu's eyes, and also saw the solemnity on the other party's face. Tu Yaoqing was stunned in his heart, it seemed that Xiao Shizhu was not lying to him.
If it was Xiao Poria who broke the law, Xiao Shizhu would really resolutely send Xiao Poria to the guillotine.
Tu Yaoqing was a little shocked, shocked why Xiao Shizhu could be so resolute, after all, if it was really Xiao Poria who broke the law, but Xiao Poria was also his flesh and blood.
Tu Yaoqing didn't know why Xiao Shizhu was so decisive, but at the same time, Tu Yaoqing's resentment against Xiao Shizhu in his heart also decreased a little.
"It's not easy for me to be this king. Xiao Shizhu held Tu Yaoqing's hands without saying a word, and for the first time completely opened his heart to the female ghost in front of him, and complained to Tu Yaoqing a little weakly: "Not to mention all kinds of troubles to deal with every day, I have to withstand all kinds of pressure, and do a lot of things that I don't want to do." ”。
"Including dealing with your father, you are in pain, and I am in pain, and I am no less painful than you. How can a son-in-law kill his father-in-law by himself, but I have to execute him. Once I open the net, the law of the country will be useless, and the law of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will become a piece of waste paper hanging high in the temple. Then the Nine Shadows Kingdom will not need to be attacked by the Emperor Xudu, and it will be a mess. Under the soft fluorescent light emitted by the centipede beads, Xiao Shizhu then stared at Tu Yaoqing and said slowly: "And we are a family, even if he can't understand what I did, you must be able to understand my distress, right?"
After that, Xiao Shizhu, who was already covered with a faint tired look on his facial features, was still looking at Tu Yaoqing's eyes, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
The exhaustion on his face came from mental tiredness rather than physical exertion. When he convicted Yanchen, Tu Yaoqing had already seen it once. But when I see it again today, Tu Yaoqing is still worried for a while.
Although Xiao Shizhu didn't spoil her very much, he was lukewarm to her in the past. But from the moment Tu Yaoqing decided to obey his father's wishes and marry the nemesis of the Emperor Xudu, Tu Yaoqing had already decided to take good care of this husband and fulfill the obligations of a wife.
No matter whether he is alive or dead, whether Xiao Shizhu has power or not, Tu Yaoqing decided to accompany Xiao Shizhu forever and has always supported him behind him.
What Tu Yaoqing is most afraid of seeing is the tiredness brought by Xiao Shizhu after experiencing hard work, which is also mixed with a little helplessness, which makes her worry more and more when she looks at it.
What's more, as Xiao Shizhu said, they are a family, and a family should be considerate of each other and support each other. And it was her father who died by himself first, and then continued to resent Xiao Shizhu in this matter, Tu Yaoqing felt that she was unreasonable to make trouble.
But deep in her heart, there is still sadness constantly emerging, no matter how her father Tu Gongqi uses her, but after all, she was raised as an adult, and it is impossible for Tu Yaoqing not to be sad when she thinks of this kindness.
In the blink of an eye, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she threw herself into Xiao Shizhu's arms and cried loudly.
Xiao Shizhu's raised hands did not fall on Tu Yaoqing's twitching back for a long time, and the whole ghost was also stunned, not daring to move.
had to sit still, letting Tu Yaoqing bury his head in his chest, and the surging tears instantly soaked his placket.
Tu Yaoqing's cry echoed in the apse, and she had no complaints against Xiao Shizhu.
Xiao Shizhu also had no prejudice against her, and after a while, he finally reached out and hugged Tu Yaoqing, caressed her back, and comforted the crying Tu Yaoqing in a low voice.
At this moment, the two ghosts have been reunited.
