Chapter 161: Ah Jiu (I)
Looking at Ah Jiu in front of her, although she still looked beautiful, her face looked extremely pale, just like an ordinary woman. This woman who lived in the drama in the original book, grew up in the emperor's family, but never enjoyed the glory and wealth, and has been burdened with a sea of blood since she was a child. Thinking about this, Lin Ping's heart couldn't help but feel deep pity, got up and walked to Ah Jiu's side, patted her shoulder, and sighed: "Whether it is the emperor or the people, you have always been a woman, why do you have to bear everything alone?" ”
Hearing Lin Pingzhi's comfort, Ah Jiu's delicate body trembled at first, and his eyes suddenly became a little gloomy. She recalled her past - Li Chuang's army broke through the imperial city, and her father, Emperor Chongzhen, sent the crown prince, Yongwang, and Ding Wang out of the palace, and ordered Empress Zhou, Yuan Guifei, and Empress Yi'an, the widow of Xizong, to commit suicide, and killed Princess Zhaoren with his own hands, and then left the palace, and finally hanged himself in the coal mountain. And she escaped because she was not in the palace at the time.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to stabilize people's hearts, they rewarded her and asked her to marry Zhou Shixian, the concubine chosen by Chongzhen before his death. But she didn't agree, so she was rescued by a mysterious man on the wedding day and taught her martial arts. In addition, she lost in her relationship with Xia Qingqing, and she has decided not to marry for the rest of her life.
Lin Pingzhi's gentle words made Ah Jiu a little moved. She raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at the person in front of her with a wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Brother Lin, I know your kindness, you saved Ah Jiu in danger twice, but you didn't want to reciprocate." But over the years, I have become accustomed to facing everything alone, and my heart is dead when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed. ”
"This ...... What's the situation? How does it sound like a confession? There's something wrong with this plot. Lin Pingzhi muttered to himself. However, what he didn't know was that Ah Jiu had no one to care about since he was young, and when his love first opened, he encountered national hatred and family hatred. At this time, Ah Jiu was just a woman in her early twenties.
After a while, Lin Pingzhi sighed softly, revealing a trace of helplessness and distress in his eyes. He knew that Ah Jiu had gone through too much suffering and suffered too much pain, but he also understood that a life alone was not what she really wanted. He gently shook Ah Jiu's hand and said softly, "Ah Jiu, I understand your feelings, but there are some things that you can't afford alone. ”
Listening to Lin Pingzhi's words, her heart rippled. He has always been a loner, accustomed to loneliness, and gradually became indifferent. But now, Lin Pingzhi's appearance has made her doubt her choice. She looked at Lin Pingzhi's warm eyes and felt the warmth and care that she had never felt before.
"Brother Lin, maybe you're right." Ah Jiu said softly, his voice trembling slightly, "But Ah Jiu can't forget the hatred of the country and the family." ”
A gentle breeze blew on the faces of the two, and the corners of Lin Pingzhi's mouth raised a faint smile, and he subtly let go of her hand. He knew in his heart that if he couldn't resolve the doubts in her heart today, everything would be in vain. So, he patted her on the shoulder softly, and said in a soft voice: "Ah Jiu, you have to understand that the national feud is not only tied to you. Have you ever thought deeply about what kind of situation would happen if you assassinated Kangxi today? ”
Hearing this, Ah Jiu's eyes flashed with anxiety and confusion, and she was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly. "Brother Lin, I know you're for my good, but I really can't let it go." At this moment, her heart was full of national hatred and family hatred, but Lin Pingzhi's words also made her start to think about whether it was right for her to do this.
Lin Pingzhi always looked at Ah Jiu with a smile, and after a while, said: "I can understand the anger and dissatisfaction in your heart, but you also know that this decision will set off bigger waves, I don't want you to give up hatred, but I hope you can think calmly and find a better solution." ”
Lin Pingzhi's words made Ah Jiu's eyes gradually suspicious, looking at the change in Ah Jiu's eyes, Lin Pingzhi knew that his persuasion was working, so he continued: "Now that the hegemony of all forces in the world has gradually reached a balance, if Kangxi has an accident at this time, it will be the people who will suffer." What's more, no dynasty can prosper forever, and the power of one person can never change the overall situation, but if you can find a wise path, you may be able to strive for more benefits for the people. ”
Hearing this, the tears in Ah Jiu's eyes finally flowed. She didn't know this, she just didn't dare to face it before. Lin Pingzhi raised his hand, gently stroked Ah Jiu's hair, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Ah Jiu, you killed Kangxi just to avenge your family, and it will cause chaos in the world, but the national hatred has not been reduced." Since you want to do it, why don't you think of a way to destroy the Manchus? ”
Ah Jiu's tears gradually stopped, and she raised her head, her eyes flashing with a different light. He took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and said, "Thank you... Brother Lin, you're right. I have always only cared about revenge for my family, but I have neglected my national revenge. The Manchus tortured and killed our people and wantonly plundered our land and wealth, and they were unforgivable. I want to avenge not only my parents, but also my people and my entire nation. ”
Hearing Ah Jiu's determination, Lin Ping's heart couldn't help but rise with a sense of admiration. He knew that Ah Jiu was a brave and determined woman, who not only had a deep nostalgia for her family and relatives, but also a deep love for the country and the nation. He held Ah Jiu's hand, his eyes flashed with determination, and he said firmly: "Ah Jiu, we want to unite more like-minded people, unite together, and fight against the Manchus together." It is only through our efforts that our country and our people can regain their freedom and dignity. ”
Ah Jiu felt the sincerity and firmness in Lin Pingzhi's words, and her heart rippled, and after a while, she nodded vigorously, her expression revealing a trace of gratitude and dependence.
Lin Pingzhi's words were like a key, opening the door of Ah Jiu's heart that had been sealed for a long time, and her originally calm heart rippled like a lake. Ah Jiu nodded vigorously in response, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth couldn't hide the gratitude and dependence in her heart.
Lin Pingzhi looked at Ah Jiu with some surprise, his words actually touched the depths of this girl's heart, making her tears fall like pearls. This made Lin Pingzhi a little flustered, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Ah Jiu, if you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart, just cry." It will be better to turn all the sadness in your heart into tears. ”
However, this time, Ah Jiu chose to turn his back and twitch his shoulders slightly. Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi's heart couldn't help but feel a gloomy color. He walked over silently, stretched out his hand and touched Ah Jiuxiang's shoulder, and said softly: "Okay, Ah Jiu, no matter how many grievances you have suffered and how much hardship you have suffered before, haven't you all come over now......"
Hearing Lin Pingzhi's gentle words, Ah Jiu's heart felt as if a window had been opened, allowing the warm sunlight to shine in. She thought of her lonely life all these years, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. She couldn't hold back any longer, leaned on him and cried loudly. And Lin Pingzhi quietly hugged her and let her vent her inner sadness.
After some catharsis, Ah Jiu's heart was much more relaxed. She found that the posture of the two was a little too intimate, so she sighed faintly and said, "Brother Lin, can you let me go first?" ”
"Ah Jiu, I can let you go, but you can't do anything to me."
"Ah......h
Looking at Ah Jiu's cute appearance, Lin Pingzhi whispered in her ear. After a while, Ah Jiu couldn't help but "Poof!" She laughed, but immediately said ashamedly and angrily: "You will bully me......" But after a while, she sighed again: "Brother Lin, why are you so good to me......"
"When we meet, it's fate." Lin Pingzhi replied a little unnaturally.
"Is it really fate?" Shuang'er glanced at him with a smirk. "I remember the last time we were apart......"
Lin Pingzhi laughed dryly, thinking that the scene last time was really embarrassing...... But seeing that Ah Jiu was not angry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly took off his coat and draped it over the other party.
"Brother Lin, Ah Jiu is in good health now...... It's inconvenient to ......" Feeling the changes in Lin Pingzhi, Ah Jiu Ghost made the god say this.
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
