"Miss Qi, do you really want to rebel?"

Sima Liang's words were astonishing.

made Qi Lan's body pause.

After a moment's thought, she sat down.

"Let it go."

Sima Liang let go of his hand.

Qi Lan looked at Sima Liang's eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.

After a long time, she looked elsewhere.

"Lord Wang, some things are born predestined. Is there a difference between wanting to and not wanting to? ”

Sima Liang thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly.

Smiling and smiling, he sank his face.

Finally, Sima Liang sighed.

"You and I are similar, but you have a choice."

Qi Lan looked at Sima Liang and smiled angrily

"Options? Don't you know, your level of jokes is very poor? ”

Sima Liang's expression was serious and unchanged.

"You said it, and I know it. So I'm not telling a joke. ”

Sima Liang exhaled a long breath. Then look directly into Qi Lan's eyes.

"Look me in the eye and listen to my story. You can doubt whether it's true or not, but I don't want you to interrupt me. ”

Qi Lan's eyes showed doubt, but out of curiosity, she still looked at Sima Liang's eyes.

"The beginning of the story was on the day the city of Yancheng was broken."

"The location, it's the island in the middle of the lake."

"As for the characters, there are four of them."

"Three of them, you should know. As far as I can tell, three of them are called by you, Grandpa, Grandpa, and Grandma. ”

"The people I'm going to talk about are the people your grandfather probably didn't mention, or didn't mention much. He called Yan to return. Or Father-in-law Xu. ”

Qi Lan's eyes flashed with doubt, it seemed that these two names. She hadn't heard of it.

Looks like she really doesn't know. Sima Liang thought secretly.

After a moment's distraction, he began to speak again.

"Although it may be appropriate to call Gonggong Xu, when he dies, he will call Yan Hui, so I will call him Yan Hui in the future."

"Yan's return is to serve the prince to grow up and get married, even if the country is ruined. He still didn't want the three princes to continue to fight, but hoped that the other party could escape overseas with his concubine. As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Qi Xun is different, he is unwilling to let the country go bankrupt. So I hope that the prince will continue to stay in Yandi. In this way, perhaps, we can find an opportunity to restore the country. ”

After some discussion, the prince decided to flee overseas. Strangely, Qi Xun actually agreed directly. At the same time, he came up with an idea. In order to make the people of Li feel that the royal family of Yan was extinct, he proposed to leave two corpses and pretend to be the prince and concubine. ”

Yan returned and felt justified. For this reason, he deceived a fisherman and his wife, and then killed them. Subsequently, the corpse was dressed in the clothes of the prince and concubine, and the face was destroyed at the same time. Finally, the body was hung in a high-rise building on the island in the middle of the lake."

"But Yan returned to deal with these things, Qi Xun took the prince and concubine and left Nanhu. The boat they were on was the one that was killed by the fisherman's wife, and it was also the only boat that could be driven on the island in the middle of the lake. ”

"When Yan returned and found that she had been abandoned, it was already too late. The South Lake was so big that he couldn't reach the shore just by swimming. ”

"Fortunately, the food left on the island was sufficient. Yan returned and lasted until seven days later. A team of Yanbei soldiers set foot on the island in the middle of the lake. ”

"Yan Gui knew that he was invincible and gave up resistance, and at the same time he understood that if the other party left, he might starve to death on the island."

In order to survive, Yan Hui disguised himself as a little eunuch and appeared in front of the soldiers. And talk to them. After a show and great benefits, the soldier believed his words. ”

In return, the soldiers sent Yan Hui to Yanming Beach. and kindly persuaded him to leave Yancheng. ”

Yan Gui came to the agreed place, and the boat that had been preparing to flee was gone. Although he was abandoned, he was not very disappointed. Instead, he worries about the future life of the prince and concubine. ”

The goal of taking care of half a life is gone, and Yan returns and walks on the beach in a daze. On the third day of the destruction of Yancheng and Yanguo, the coast was full of floating corpses. Many of them were martyrs, but many of them were powerful people who were caught and killed by the Li State. ”

This bleak scene made Yan's return very uncomfortable. It was also this look that broke his heart. ”

"Yan returned and found two corpses together among the countless floating corpses. And the clothes they wore were very familiar to him. ”

"Yan has a good memory when he returns, and he won't admit mistakes. After all, the clothes he put on for the prince and the concubine with his own hands. ”

Yan Gui endured the stench and discomfort, and saw the face of the floating corpse clearly. Subsequently, he collapsed. Even though it was swollen to the point of deformation, from the remaining jewelry and features, he recognized the identity of the corpse. These two people are the prince and his concubine. ”

But when Yan returned at that time, he only thought that Qi Xun's whereabouts were exposed, and then he was killed. He has the object of hatred, Li Guo. ”

"Although a middle-aged eunuch is useless. But Yan still wants to work hard when he returns. After all, in his life, there is only one thing to take care of the prince. Now that he has no thoughts, he naturally doesn't know where to go. ”

"After traveling around looking for a rebel group, Yan returned and heard a rumor. That is the story left by the royal blood of the previous dynasty. Knowing that it was fake, he didn't care at first. After all, many people will use this banner to develop their own power after the death of the country. ”

"After Ke Yan returned and came into contact with this organization. He was puzzled, because the banner of the organization was the widow of the third prince. And the head of the organization is still Qi Xun's subordinate. ”

A terrifying truth surfaced in Yan's mind. That is, in order to lead people, Qi Xun killed the prince and concubine who had no intention of resisting. Let the illusion of their martyrdom become a reality. ”

"As for the child, Yan can guess when he returns. Because when he was seducing the fisherman and his wife, there was a child on the other party's boat. At that time, out of guilt, he wanted to raise the child by himself, so he left the other party on the ship. didn't think about it, and became Qi Xun's pawn. ”

Yan, who knew the truth, returned and was extremely angry. However, he did not lose his mind. ”

"Yan returned with a large number of treasures in exchange for a higher status in the Qi Xun organization. Then he recorded the information about the gathering place and the situation of the people. Then it was handed over to the Yanbei soldiers who had helped him. ”

"The revenge ending is not satisfying. The Yanbei soldiers who underestimated Qi Xun's power were almost completely wiped out. However, the follow-up Li army still dealt a heavy blow to Qi Xun's forces. At this point, Qi Xun's life and death are unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Yan, who had lost her goal again, returned and fell into confusion. At this time, the Yanbei soldiers were the last to be wounded. Before he died, he returned the treasure he had received and asked him to help take care of them. ”

"A few addresses, a word of please. Yan, who has no meaning in life, returns, and has the motivation to live. In order to pay for the passage and the money he needed in the future, he sold many treasures at a low price. Only one was left, which was a pair of jade bracelets, which was the concubine's favorite jewelry. ”

Perhaps it was a thought, the moment he got on the boat and left, the name Yan Hui appeared. He scraped the lacquer box containing the jade bracelet clean so that it looked like it was just an ordinary wooden box. ”

In the end, this wooden box was handed over to the family who took care of him the most in his later years before Yan Gui came to die. And this story was told to many children when he could still move. After all, an old grandfather who likes to sit on a chair and look at the south can easily arouse the curiosity of children. ”

"This father-in-law Xu, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and has been living half his life, has become the land of Yanbei, and the grandfather of Yan who does not grow a beard."

After finishing the story, Sima Liang sighed.

Then, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Qi Lan, who was in tears.

The other party who took the handkerchief did not use it. Instead, he looked into Sima Liang's eyes, hoping to see a hint of a lie.

"Lord Wang, you can really deceive people." Qi Lan's voice was a little choked.

Sima Liang was silent.

"Lord Wang, this is fake, right? The name Yan Hui is too ridiculous. Qi Lan laughed.

Sima Liang was silent again.

"Sima Liang, why are you telling me the truth? Why? Qi Lan's tears were like bursting embankments, and his expression collapsed.

Sima Liang was still silent. He snatched the handkerchief from Qi Lan's hand and wiped his tears.

His behavior made the other party completely collapse.

Qi Lan threw himself into Sima Liang's arms and cried loudly.

The way she hissed and cracked her lungs was very pitiful.

Qi Lan is a smart person and will not be deceived by a little words.

The reason for this was that she had heard about it a long time ago, and there was another version of a similar story. And from the mouth of the congregation.

Combined with Qi Xun's behavior before his death, Qi Lan had long doubted his identity.

It's just that the last loved one died, and she lost her life to rely on, so she could only take the lie seriously.

Otherwise, Qi Lan, who was taught to rebel since he was a child, has no goal of living at all.

Without Qi Xun's education, she might have been an ordinary girl.

But knowing the hatred of his family and country, Qi Lan is destined to not go back.
