Chapter 338: Relatives and Enemies
Liu Yurong looked at Cao Wenzhao in surprise, she would never have thought that the man she fell in love with was still an old acquaintance with their mortal enemy. And the intersection is not shallow. What made her heart ache even more was that this man was still hiding such an important secret from her.
"No wonder this Yu Ren has been able to accurately detect our actions again and again, could it be that you have been secretly sending him messages?" Liu Yurong looked distressed.
"No, absolutely not. Although Brother Yu has a life-saving grace for me. But I never revealed to him the information about our Smelling Incense Sect, and he never asked me. If he really asked me, maybe I would tell him. However, he never asked. I can swear to God! ”
Liu Yurong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Liu Ziming quietly looked at his disciples until everyone stopped and stopped talking. Only then did he speak, "When did I say I was going to kill Yu Ren?"
For now, not only can we not kill him, but we must protect him. Because if you want to escape from the round-up of the officers and soldiers this time, you can only rely on him. ”
"Master, what about you?" Huang Yudie heard a hint of ominousness from her master's words.
Liu Ziming showed a miserable smile, but did not answer Huang Yudie's words.
"Give Yu Ren an antidote!"
Huang Yudie didn't dare to disobey, so she had to take out the antidote to the incense from her arms and feed it to Yu Ren.
Yu Ren took the antidote, and soon his body gained strength, and he slowly sat up from the ground.
Liu Ziming saw him wake up and said to him, "Yu Ren." It is fate that we can get acquainted once in this life. I know you're not a ruthless person, but you're only fighting me for the sake of the bigger picture! You have your own ideals, you have big ambitions. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Ziming's eyes became deeper. "When I walked out of this small fishing village, why wasn't that the case?
But what is the result? It's not a fiasco. During the scenery, I led tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of followers. But what in the end?
In the end, I was accompanied by only four disciples.
Therefore, I advise you that all fame and wealth are just passing clouds, and only your relatives and friends around you are your most precious wealth. ”
Yu Ren did not speak. He already felt that the person in front of him was no longer the unworldly traitor who was bent on overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty, but just an ordinary old man.
"I have something to ask for, I wonder if Yu Xianggong can promise me?"
"Elder Liu, please speak." Yu Rendao.
"I know. The court will not let me go. And you, if you can't be sure that I'm dead, you won't be at ease. I assure you that you can rest assured of this. I just hope that Yu Xianggong can let go of my disciples! I wonder if Yu Xianggong will be able to agree? ”
Yu Ren glanced at everyone and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from outside the cave.
When the people heard this, their faces changed greatly.
"Master, Xiao Rong, Xiao Qian, you take Master away first. I'll give you a cushion. Huang Yudie said, drawing her sword.
Liu Ziming shook his head.
"I'm not leaving. Hurry up! After speaking, Liu Ziming glanced at Yu Ren. They'll leave it to you! ”
Before Yu Ren could speak, the footsteps in the cave were louder and more urgent. As far as I could tell, a large number of people were rushing here.
Yu Ren's face changed, "This is not the person I brought." I don't have that many people with me. If there's any way out here, let's go quickly! ”
As soon as Yu Ren said this, a smile finally appeared on Liu Ziming's face. Because Yu Ren's words also showed his attitude, indicating that he had agreed to let them live.
"I'm not going to go with you. I think I Liu Ziming left home at the age of seventeen, and in the past 30 years, in order to achieve his own goals, I don't know how many people I have killed. Although he has done some good deeds, he cannot hide his sins because of this. I deserve today's ending! ”
After speaking, Liu Ziming's face showed a satisfied smile, "In my last moments, I can return to my hometown where I was born, I have nothing to regret." Hurry up! ”
"Master, don't do this! As the saying goes, the green mountains are there, and you are not afraid of no firewood. As long as we escape today's catastrophe, there will definitely be a chance to make a comeback. Don't be discouraged! Huang Yudie shouted.
Liu Ziming looked at Huang Yudie kindly and shook his head, "Master is incompetent, so I won't drag you down." In the future, you have to take care of your sister and Wen Zhao. ”
When they heard this, they began to cry at the same time.
"Dad, you can't leave us behind!" Liu Yurong threw herself on Liu Ziming and cried.
Liu Ziming gently helped his daughter up, "Yurong, Daddy has always hidden something from you and didn't tell you." ”
Liu Yurong saw that her father suddenly mentioned it at this time, and knew that it must be a very important matter, so she didn't dare to interrupt quietly, but listened quietly.
"Actually, I'm not your biological father. It's your father-killer! ”
As soon as Liu Ziming said this, Liu Yurong was completely stunned. When he was a child, he also heard someone say that he was not his father's biological daughter, and she asked his father several times about this, asking him why he didn't have a mother. However, every time Liu Ziming prevaricated for various reasons.
Later, as she grew up, she didn't see it lightly, anyway, whether her father was her biological father or not, she felt that it was not very important. Her father worked hard to raise her, and he never neglected her because she was not her own, and even doted on her even more.
But now, Liu Ziming suddenly said that he was actually her father-killing enemy. This made Liu Yurong difficult to accept for a while.
Not only Liu Yurong couldn't accept it, but everyone felt that it was unacceptable.
Liu Ziming looked at his daughter, and then said, "Your father is actually an official in the court.
That was twenty years ago. At that time, I had just joined the Smell Fragrance Sect. At that time, my teaching was still relatively influential in the area of Jingshi and Beizhili. However, it is precisely because of the growing influence that it has attracted the attention of some people of insight in the DPRK.
So some people began to report to the emperor, saying that we Wenxiang Sect were trying to win over officials in the court and bewitch the ignorant people, and it seemed that we had different aspirations.
At that time, when Sect Leader Wang was still in power, when Sect Leader Wang learned of this, he gathered several of our backbones and gave us a list of those officials who reported to the emperor that we had different aspirations in the Smelling Fragrance Sect.
Sect Leader Wang told us at the time that these officials were extremely corrupt in the court. They formed cliques in the DPRK and China, deceived the small people, and sought their own interests. Now, in the name of attacking us, they want to take advantage of the opportunity to overthrow their opponents in the middle of the court.
Therefore, Sect Leader Wang asked each of us to be responsible for one person, and let us sneak into their homes and kill their entire family to have a deterrent effect.
I was in charge of an official named Huang Jian.
I sneaked into his house in the middle of the night. The family lives in a small alley in the west of the city.
When I jumped into the courtyard of their house and saw their humble house, and was puzzled by the great greed mentioned by the Sect Master, how could the family be so shabby, one of their domestic servants found me.
I had no choice but to kill him.
At this moment, Huang Jian also woke up. He rushed out of the house with a sword in his hand. I had to kill him too.
When I rushed into the house, I saw a young woman holding a child in her arms. She was completely stunned by the sudden catastrophe that had befallen her. However, she quickly regained her composure.
'The child is still young, she doesn't know anything, I hope you will let her live.' After saying that, the woman crawled to Huang Jian's side, picked up the long sword in her husband's hand, and committed suicide.
Seeing this, one of the maids in the room rushed towards me with a pair of scissors. I was already remorseful at this time, and I didn't do anything more to this girl, but just gently pushed her.
But because of my push, she bumped into the scissors in her hand and died.
I finished killing people, and when I looked at this humble house, I felt more and more regretful. At this time, the child who was lying on the ground cried more and more. I just felt so distraught that I wanted to leave. But when I got out of the house, I couldn't help but walk back again, and finally took the child with me.
Later, I saw a character embroidered on the child's swaddling clothes, so I named her after it. ”
Liu Ziming said this, and looked at his daughter in front of him fixedly.
"If you want to avenge your whole family, now is the time!"
