Chapter Ninety-Four: I Have Pity on You
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
Time returned to daylight, and it was not the first time that Pei Xiuzhi, who had finally found Taizijin with all his hard work, had seen him. Before the Hundred Flowers Society, he saw Changsheng, and from Changsheng's move to catch the golden sword, he saw a familiar shadow.
How excited he was at that time, he thought that he was finally going to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he almost cried with joy. But due to the pursuit of those officials, he had no choice but to leave for the time being. That night, he finally found the whereabouts of Taizijin, but he only heard the usual conversation between him and this little girl.
It's not how to restore the country, it's not how to avenge them, it's a common thing to talk as if nothing happened.
He listened downstairs for a long time, and then quietly went in to see after they were all asleep. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who used to be able to pull a large bow more than a man high with both hands and easily shoot the head of the enemy from a hundred paces away, has now become a wasted man who can't even pull the bow and only thinks about how to live a good life.
He stood far away, looking at the gentle and harmless face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his sleep, and could hardly believe what he saw. If it weren't for the sudden awakening of this child, he doesn't know what he would have done.
On the day of the Hundred Flowers Meeting, he looked at Taizijin's peaceful and happy face from a distance, and only felt that there was a fire burning violently in his chest, burning more and more, burning more and more!
When he saw the child leaving, who was almost clinging to the prince, he rushed forward without much thought.
In the midst of the people coming and going, when Taizijin saw himself at first glance, all happiness and tranquility were instantly shattered, replaced by a pale frightened, homesick and timid expression.
He saw Taizijin's lips move slightly, he knew that Taizijin wanted to talk to him, and he knew that Taizijin was very surprised in his heart, but, for a moment, it was really only for a moment, He leaned sideways to the side, avoiding the other party's outstretched hand.
At the moment when Taizijin was as stiff as a stone, Pei Xiuzhi glanced at him.
It is high, disappointed, sad, disdainful, disgusted, hateful, and contains all kinds of emotions.
Pei Xiuzhi himself didn't even know what his glance represented, but Taizijin must have seen it, after all, he was so smart, why didn't he know?
Then he left. When they met the next time, they saw the body of Prince Zijin.
At this moment, Pei Xiuzhi, who was being held back by Changsheng with hatred, looked at Taizijin's corpse, not knowing what kind of mood he should be in, but he knew that it was definitely not happy.
Changsheng looked at the man in front of him, maybe he didn't know it, he was crying. Tears and snot don't fall like money. But his expression was stubborn, as if he had never been wrong.
He was talking about something, and it seemed that he was talking about what Seokjin had done before. Changsheng knew that Xuejin had a bad time before, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. But is this the reason why Pei Xiuzhi killed Xuejin?
She looked at the man's expression stiffly, not letting go of the slightest, and then slowly spoke.
"You're a hypocrisy."
Pei Xiuzhi's body slammed hard.
"Life is precious, those people were willing to give their lives for Xuejin at the beginning, they were voluntary. I think you also volunteered at that time. But you regret it. β
"Nope! I didn't! β
Changsheng didn't pay attention to this person's exclamation, but just opened his mouth to himself.
"You just regret it. Maybe it's because of the experience of wandering in the world for all these years that makes you regret it, maybe it's because you find that you don't have a living old man, or maybe you pin all your hopes on Xuejin, so when you find that Xuejin is not what you imagined, you regret it! You're angry! β
"I didn't!"
Pei Xiuzhi raised his neck, his eyes were red and almost dripping blood.
ββ¦β¦ I pity you. β
Changsheng had already seen through this person, she removed the hatred from his neck, and saw the golden sword out of the corner of her eye. The hilt of the golden sword was engraved with a small word 'Jin', so she understood that this was Seokjin's sword. She picked up the golden sword and placed it on Seoljin.
Pei Xiuzhi, who was lost and depressed, was silent for a long time, put the scattered long sword back into the sword box, and held it slowly. Something was muttered in a demented mouth.
"I want to, I'm going to find His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm going to find His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Looking at Pei Xiuzhi, who was almost a little crazy, Changsheng opened his eyes, now that she has entered the Dao, her strength has increased a lot, Changsheng slowly picked up Xuejin and turned to leave.
Watching the child take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away, it was obviously a very disproportionate scene, but Pei Xiuzhi felt that it was very harmonious. He slowly reached out and stretched out his hand towards the backs of the two of them.
Your Highness, Your Highness......
"Xiuzhi, you can't just keep your head down and study the article, and you have to pick up the martial arts. What? You're not proficient in martial arts? It's okay, I'll teach you. They all said I could teach. β
"Xiuzhi, Dajin has a capable minister like you, which is really a blessing in the world. In this prosperous world of the future, I hope to open up with you! β
"Xiuzhi, I hunted a white fox today, I think it is very good for your temperament, so I will make you a scarf."
"Xiuzhi, see Xin'an: the army has marched to Wulipo, the scenery here is pleasant, especially a kind of fiery red flowers, which is quite different from the imperial capital, I don't know when Xiuzhi can also see the beautiful scenery of this place......"
"Xiuzhi?"
"Fix it."
"Repair ......"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Otsu Kingdom, that is the prince of the prosperous era recognized by all civil ministers and military generals, and his personality charm is enough for any courtier to treat him with all his heart. Otherwise, the prince was in trouble at the beginning, and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and I don't know how many people were willing to die for the prince.
Death for a confidant. But Your Highness, I seem to have lost that heart.
Pei Xiuzhi's hand seemed to be sore at this time, and he couldn't hold the swords of those like-minded friends. At the beginning of the palace battle, the only swords he could pick up were these eight.
No, it's seven now.
At the beginning, the method of engraving on the hilt of the sword was still their own, and a group of young people who were full of ambition, with the great expectation of building Otsu better and ushering in a hundred years of prosperity, carved a certain word in their name with a knife under the bright sunlight in front of the palace Zhengde Hall.
At that time, they were too young, they thought they could change everything, they were so ignorant and naΓ―ve. Therefore, when the calamity comes in an instant, all the great ideals collapse like a castle in the air.
Pei Xiuzhi desperately gathered away the long swords scattered on the ground, just like collecting the good memories of their past. But it can't be put away well, and when it is closed, tears will fall down cracklingly.
"Your Highness......"
