Imperial Court Chapter: Night in the Capital Chapter 21 You Choose!
Coming to a place with Xiao Chengniang, Geng Liqiu was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him, because they didn't come from another place, but a cemetery.
The graves in front of him, the surroundings seemed very desolate, the gusts of cold wind gave people an eerie feeling, and the scarlet-like fonts on the tombstones made Geng Liqiu completely out of mood.
"Xiao Chengniang, don't tell me that we are going to drink in this cemetery?"
Xiao Chengniang nodded very seriously.
"Isn't it?" Geng Liqiu said again: "You have this fetish, you are really bold, even if I am a man, I feel scared here, aren't you afraid at all?" ”
Xiao Chengniang's answer made him completely shut up.
"Because this is my home!"
When this answer was very unbelievable, Geng Liqiu suddenly realized something, and immediately looked at the tombstones on those graves, and saw the words written on the bright red blood stains on the tombstones, which made him understand why Xiao Chengniang said this.
turned to look at the surrounding dozen or so tombs, large and small, and the tombstones were:
"Brother: Xiao Ting's Tomb!"
"Ah Mei: Xiao Ying's tomb!"
"Brother: Xiao Dong's Tomb!"
“……”
And, "Father: The Tomb of Xiao Chengshan!" ”
"A-Niang: The Tomb of Luoyun!"
And Xiao Chengniang walked to the grave of her parents and knelt down, on her beautiful face, there was not a single tear falling between her eyes, not that she was ruthless, but that she couldn't cry anymore after crying.
Geng Liqiu walked over and gave her the peach blossom wine.
He was about to say something, but Xiao Chengniang said, "I'm sorry to let you come to this place with me." ”
Geng Liqiu shook his head, "It's okay", as if he was going to ask something again.
Xiao Chengniang said: "You want to ask my family's tomb, why is it in this Taibai place..."
Geng Liqiu nodded, it stands to reason that people die and fall back to their roots, and the tomb of the Xiao family should be buried in Qingzhou.
But she told him, "Because our real home is in Taibai." ”
"Back then, my grandfather laid a foundation in the rivers and lakes and established Xiao Mansion in Taibai Villa, and at that time, although there were not many people in Xiao Mansion, they lived very comfortably."
"Later, my father Xiao Chengshan, he made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, was named a loyal general, settled in Qingzhou, and the whole family moved to Qingzhou Mansion, so he had the name of Qingzhou Xiao's family."
After Geng Liqiu heard about it, he also understood that the tomb of the Xiao family was moved to the land of Taibai, which could be regarded as a return to the roots.
After hearing this, Geng Liqiu also fell silent.
After that, their peach blossoms were not drunk by them, but they were all given to the people of the Xiao family.
After a jar of peach blossom wine was toasted to them.
Xiao Chengniang's mood seemed very low, but there was one thing Geng Liqiu felt that he shouldn't hide from her.
So he spoke up to break the calm: "Xiao Chengniang, there is something I have thought about, and I still think I should tell you." ”
Xiao Chengniang's tone was flat: "You say! ”
Geng Liqiu looked at her and said, "I hope that after I say this, you can stay calm..."
But after thinking about it, I can't calm down on this matter.
Xiao Chengniang also seemed to hear the solemnity in Geng Liqiu's tone, turned her head to look at her, and looked at him.
Once this matter is told to her, it is actually a very cruel thing, but if Geng Liqiu talks about this matter and hides it, sooner or later, she will know about it.
Geng Liqiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, your father is not dead, you were alive eight years ago, and your father is also alive." ”
Xiao Chengniang's expression was in a trance for a moment, and she said to Geng Liqiu word by word: "Geng Liqiu, please don't make this joke with me?" ”
Geng Liqiu frowned, and said very complicatedly: "I know it's hard for you to accept, but he is really alive." ”
"But he has become a sinner, and I want you to keep your own sense of right and wrong knowing that your father is still alive, because he has done many wrong things in these eight years, and these wrong things are also unforgivable, you see?!"
When Xiao Chengniang heard this, her whole expression trembled a little, her body trembled, and she couldn't imagine that this was a real thing.
"Father, father... Dear, he's really... Still alive? ”
Xiao Chengniang grabbed Geng Liqiu's arm, and even his fingertips were embedded in Geng Liqiu's arm, and he could only let her pinch him and her gaffe.
"He is now in Zhenjingsi, some time ago I went to Suzhou and Qingzhou to investigate the murder of the Bai family in Suzhou and track down the people behind it, although it was done by Shaojiang in Xichang, but this matter was done by your father." Geng Liqiu said to her expressionlessly, it was precisely because he was afraid of Xiao Chengniang that he couldn't hold back his anger at that time.
Of course, the person who really wants to kill the Bai family is Xichang Shaojiang.
What is done under the pretense of Xiao Chengshan's hand is also difficult to forgive.
Hear this.
Xiao Chengniang also seemed a little lonely and confused, hearing the news that her father was still alive, her first reaction was excitement, and then Geng Liqiu told her these things, and her father's behavior was the same as that of Situ Leiden.
Geng Liqiu saw that she was depressed, so he said: "Xiao Chengniang, now that something has happened, what you have to do is to adjust your emotions and face this matter head-on." ”
"Your father's matter, I hope that after the matter of Taibai Villa is over this time, you can give me a result, after all, it is your father, I hope you can understand the stakes between this."
Geng Liqiu's words were ruthless, but this was also the last bottom line he could tolerate, what Xiao Chengshan did, if he hadn't considered some people, I am afraid that Xiao Chengshan would be a corpse in Qingzhou at that time.
This also needs to give an explanation to the Bai family.
Xiao Chengniang also knew that she was sitting on the ground decadently, looking at her father's tombstone, and a woman like her finally couldn't restrain her emotions and left tears.
If you can find it, these few tears are actually blood-red.
In this case, Geng Liqiu was in a difficult position to choose, because after all, he was the one who wanted Xiao Chengniang's father's life.
As for whether she will finally have her own judgment of right and wrong, Geng Liqiu can only wait for her to think clearly before giving him a result.
So Geng Liqiu still left first and gave her a time to calm down.
Get out of here.
I don't know how long it took, knowing that night was about to fall, Xiao Chengniang walked from the Xiao family cemetery.
It's just that this time there is no more dignified image like the one we just met, and the whole makeup is also flowered, which looks very decadent and lonely.
Geng Liqiu didn't speak, and he didn't hand over a handkerchief as a gentleman, because he understood that no matter what, his comfort was so inappropriate.
Xiao Chengniang didn't want to kill him because of this, but was calm and terrifying.
It wasn't until she walked to the winery that originally sold peach blossom wine, the old man had already closed the stall and gone home, and there were not many people on the street, so she finally stopped and looked up at Geng Liqiu.
Facing her eyes, Geng Liqiu was also waiting for her to speak.
Xiao Chengniang looked at Geng Liqiu, and finally said, "Geng Liqiu, I want to ask you, what will you do with my father?" ”
Her face was expressionless, and her tone was cold.
It seems to be asking Geng Liqiu for an answer.
But Geng Liqiu asked her rhetorically: "I want to hear you think about this matter?" ”
Xiao Chengniang shook her head: "I don't know." ”
Her eyes were blank, and this incident caught her off guard, and it was she who was not, if she was an ordinary woman, she would not be able to withstand such a blow at all.
So she can maintain such an attitude, Geng Liqiu is actually very admired, "I'll give you time to think, when you return to the capital in three months, your father's affairs must also have a result, and you follow me during this time, and after three months, there will be a very clear result." ”
"So, Xiao Chengniang hopes you can think about it."
Regarding Geng Liqiu's words, Xiao Chengniang fell silent again.
After all, she is also a woman, even if she has worked hard to make herself strong over the years, but deep down, she is still weak.
And Geng Liqiu can sympathize with her, but he won't condone her, because if she can't think clearly and figure out this matter, she will never be able to become strong.
In this regard, Geng Liqiu told her his attitude very seriously: "Xiao Chengniang, I need a strong enough partner, because what I have to do is also very dangerous, and you want to kill Situ Leiden, I can tell you very clearly that with your current strength, you can't do it at all." ”
"Situ Leiden involves a lot of people, he is also powerful, if you want to deal with such a person, you have to become strong enough, and I need a powerful Xiao Chengniang to help me, do you understand?"
Geng Liqiu's words are all heartfelt words.
Because in troubled times, only by being like a chess player can you win the world, if you don't even have this courage, how can you talk about success.
These words are very heartfelt and direct, but they are very clear, so Xiao Chengniang is uncomfortable in her heart and wants to avenge the Xiao family.
Then, as Geng Liqiu said, she must become strong enough.
After a psychological struggle.
Xiao Chengniang finally figured out this, although she couldn't make herself not think about it and not feel uncomfortable, she still tried her best to adjust her mentality and try her best to accept it.
The two were silent for half a day.
In the end, Xiao Chengniang asked Geng Liqiu: "Is Taibai's matter related to my father?" ”
Geng Liqiu said to her: "As long as this matter is resolved, your father's sins will be less." ”
Xiao Chengniang: "Okay! I will atone for his sins! ”
Geng Liqiu didn't interfere with her, this was her choice, maybe they would return to the capital again in three months, and Xiao Chengniang would be able to solve this headache for him.
And he should put his purpose on those chaotic ministers and thieves.
"Five days later, Taibai Villa, see you in Wu Lian!"
Geng Liqiu left, and Xiao Chengniang looked at the back of Geng Liqiu leaving, I don't know why, she always had a feeling, that is, what was he preparing?
"Geng Liqiu, above martial arts, who are you planning to attack, or are you going to solve something?"
"Why do you always give people a sense of ruthlessness!"
Xiao Chengniang couldn't see through Geng Liqiu, and she never knew what he was thinking, maybe this person had a big plan, and it was no less than Situ Leiden.
"What a horrible guy!"
