Chapter 37
He woke up suddenly, but he didn't know where he was. It was dark and buried on the edge of the moonlight, and the sky was overcast, only the moon in the distance, emitting a melancholy twilight.
The backyard was overgrown with weeds, reminiscent of the cicadas of midsummer.Unfortunately, this was not the middle of summer in the old year, otherwise it would be much more lively.He sat on the stone bench, only to find that he had fallen asleep on the damp stone table.The wine glass, the wine jug, and his mouth stenked of wine.He swore that this was the last time.It would not be like this again, the last time.He meditated.The last time, the memories floated in the moonlight.He remembered the fire in the court and the kneeling ministers who hid their faces in the shadows, and the silent attendants of all kinds came and went, Will...... Bound up his beloved, set fire to a pile of wood, and burned her to charred bones and roasted flesh.The cold Imperial Forerunner wielded a great axe and mercilessly slew anyone who resisted.It was a mercy, yes! Swords have always been more merciful than flames.Executioners have been so dedicated, and he has been doing so for decades.
Loche took her body and erected a grave in the distance, where it stood, only he knew, only he knew. He wouldn't let anyone bother her anymore.But did she have family?Did she have friends?What about her relatives?Looking back, he didn't know at all.
Luo Xue looked at the abandoned well in the corner of the wall, now it is densely covered with weeds, he couldn't help but sigh that things are wrong, when he was young, this was the mansion of Uncle Luo Zhan, at that time, it was like a city, and now it is not a scene at all, Uncle Luo Zhan is kind and kind, there is no elder shelf, often invite five brothers and sisters to play and frolic together, happiness and freshness impact his childhood.
The most favored by his father's intelligent younger brother stumbled and fell into the bottom of the well to death since he was a child.And the well-behaved and beautiful little sister married far away in the mountains of the west under the mediation of his father.The brave eldest brother was ironic when he hunted alone, but was bitten to death by a tiger.Only the second brother, a man who has been elegant since childhood, is now crazy to sit on the dragon throne.
He was thinking,
But someone came,
It's his shogunate, Yin Xuzhen.
The other party's appearance seems to be quite young, wearing a plain robe, the tall body is a little thin, the beard is neatly groomed, there are a pair of eyes as black as night, the eyebrows between the thin eyebrows are a little red, and the style is different.
Now, in the entire court, he can be trusted, just like the butler Lao Man
ββIs it really possible?
He felt the growing oppression in his chest.
Under Yin Xuzhen's identification and confrontage, he realized that the housekeeper Lao Man, who grew up with him, had already been bought by his brother and was responsible for monitoring him day and night.
He knew that now, Lao Man would not hurt him, Lao Man was just silently watching, just like the falcon-footed wind who loved to crouch on the eaves of the house--that man was very special, there was no breath of people, only the smell of carrion.
"You shouldn't be like that." Yin Xuzhen appeared faintly.
"So what should I do?"
Yin Xuan really seemed to answer, "She is here, and she brought one more person."
"Who?" he swallowed, fumbling with his beard, wondering if it was time to trim.
"Imperial History of the Imperial Rites." Yin Xuzhen's expression was cold.
He was shocked, "Wind Feather ?!!"
"Fat cat."
He took a deep breath, "Really?" and unconsciously expressed disappointment.
"The road ahead is difficult, only talent is the move of the wise." Yin Xuzhen reminded." He's going to make planning a lot easier."
"Yes." He nodded.
The two came to Luo Xue, who was looking at the moon on the stone table.
"Hey, keep you waiting." Loche said. But I still have to warn that the road ahead is difficult, and I can say it from my heart."
The milky-white priestess, dressed in a black robe, hides herself in the lonely corner of the moonlight, and does not say a word.
The fat cat shouted at the top of his voice, "Let's go."
"No hurry." Yin Xuzhen said lightly, "I still have to wait for someone."
Perfunctory interjected, "He's already there."
In the shadows of his existence, cold to the bone.
Only then did the fat cat notice the man on the eaves, "Hayabusa-foot, I didn't expect you to betray the emperor!" the fat cat shouted, "It is a great irony that a brave soldier who has suffered terribly for the good of the country is now like this."
Hayabusa's feet watched silently, he was already exhausted, but the cold words grabbed the fat cat's mouth, "The one who has broken the oath." That's a review.
The fat cat laughed, "A raccoon dog." That's a good summary, but Loshek doesn't like it at all.
"It's time to go." Hayabusafoot looked into the distance, "The sooner the better." His hazy gaze seemed to be counting the stars in the sky." Mr. Yin Xuzhen, what I promised you is done! You can rest assured! She is not alone in facing fear and pain! She is much luckier than you think."
The shogunate bowed in thanks.
The fat cat didn't know why, so he broke the embarrassment, "Where to go?"
Luo Xue said with a smile. I think it's a nice place to be."
"Ready, then step into the unknown." The fat cat straightens its arms, clapps its palms, and tears open the scene in front of it with its bare hands, like opening a door and tearing off a painting.
For a moment, there seemed to be an intermittent noise in Luo Xue's ears, and at the same time he felt a wave of fear.
The fat cat faced nothingness, "Follow me cautiously, if you are not careful, you will be trapped in the unknown chaos forever."
No one paid any attention to him, and he guessed that everyone seemed to be shocked by what they saw, or that the personalities of the men simply didn't speak.
"Wait a minute, I'll get ready." He shook his hand, left them alone, ran to a certain room, and asked the dark shadow in the house, "Come with me, is it okay?"
Old Man shook his head politely. Childe, you are still young and can go further." Old Man stroked his cheek. And I'm going to have to stay here for the rest of my life, waiting for mold." The monotony and loneliness of life seem to have made his life stand still, and I don't know when he will be satisfied with this uniform life of morning and dusk.
He turned his head with a sad voice. Remember, say goodbye to that lady for me."
"I'm sorry, Childe, I owe you"
Luo Xue smiled, "Forget it, it's not a big deal, I've already been paid a good job.Old Man, thank you for always being with me."
