Chapter 725: Him and Her (Second Watch)
At the same time, a man and a woman are also walking side by side in the garden, the man on the left is in a majestic figure, although he looks a little weak because of the hard work, but still has a good demeanor, and the woman on the right is dressed in red, like a wedding dress, and seems to be infected with blood.
"I remember when you said you wanted a garden, and it would be better to plant mulberry trees in it, so that there would be so many mulberries that you couldn't eat them all. ”
Luo Fengxiao walked while looking at those plants, some of the flowers had already opened, including peonies, rhododendrons, and junzi orchids, but she looked at these flowers that were competing for beauty and luxury, but she didn't like them so much.
For saints, not only can they follow their words, but when their hearts move, the heavens will naturally sense their emotions and make all kinds of manifestations.
The peony flowers are blooming more and more, as if they are red like flames out of thin air, but for some reason, they are covered with a layer of destructive power, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.
"Why bother with a few flowers. Zhuge Wanling looked at the flames and showed a wry smile.
He didn't feel sorry for the flower, after all, I don't know how many plants there were in the back garden of this palace, in fact, this flower was just a scapegoat for him, because he knew that those flames should have fallen on his head, and he should be a corpse now.
The relationship between the two has become a little delicate now, not so much a pair of enemies as a pair of resentful couples.
Luo Fengxiao's face was expressionless, just quietly watching the blooming flames gradually spread to the entire plant, and then when the subordinates in the palace began to shout "go to the water" in a panic, she looked away and took a step to leave here first.
"There's a lot of danger in the city, I can feel it. Luo Fengyan said to Zhuge Wanling, who was chasing after him a little hard, as he walked, "If you can't suppress those dangers, it's better to give me your life as soon as possible, it's better than dying at the hands of others." ”
Zhuge Wanling was silent for a while, knowing that Luo Fengyan didn't just intimidate him with words.
The realm of saints is an almost transcendent existence, and even in the dark they can feel the silk thread that belongs to fate, but most people dare not or will not snoop into it.
Seeing through fate seems to be a powerful ability, but it is also a curse, when a thing is doomed, who can continue to follow the road indifferently?
After a while, he replied: "I know that since you came to Jingwu, some people have already been able to guess my identity, and when they realize this, I am afraid that the next thing they will face will not be easier than the southern invasion of the Tang Kingdom back then." ”
Those messengers who claim to be gods have never had ordinary human feelings, and all they care about is supreme authority and qualifications for life and death.
And when they found out that the former traitor had been hiding in the palace for so many years, and gradually had the power to shake them, what followed must be a desperate attack.
"But I'm not out of the cracks. Zhuge Wanling stood up straight, looked at Luo Fengxiao, who had also stopped, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Since the death of the teacher, many things have changed, and they are no longer monolithic. Although Zhang Yanling is a difficult opponent to deal with, he has been suppressed too hard by his teacher over the years, and he has never been able to fully grasp the power of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Kingdom is in decline, it will take a long time for him to revive the prestige of the Tang Kingdom back then. As for Cao Meng in the north, he has never been a loyal domestic dog, but an ownerless tiger, and he will not be at the mercy of others. ”
Luo Fengyan listened to Zhuge Wanling's confident words, and said thoughtfully: "It turns out that the letter just now is related to Cao Meng?"
"I don't have to hide this from you, Xiang Chu is now losing power in the Tang Kingdom, and he has also moved his mind to bring this unruly overlord into his account. Zhuge Wanling smiled lightly: "This Cao Meng really has a little bit of the courage of the heroes in the world, counting the generals under his account, there are already two people in the grandmaster realm, Dian Wei and Guan Changyu, plus Liu De, a master who can be comparable to the grandmaster realm, there are countless little grandmaster masters, I really don't know who else can compete with him in the future." ”
No one competes with it, so it may be pleasant to put it on yourself, but in the enemy, it is often not a good omen, but Zhuge Wanling does not show any sadness or worry, and even looks happy to see it, which naturally makes Luo Fengxiao a little strange.
"You seem to be happy. Luo Fengxiao said.
"This is not a bad thing, if Cao Meng really dares to accept Xiang Chu under his command, then those people standing behind him will naturally be dissatisfied, after all, they not only claim to be royal, but they are also born to feel that they should rule the world, how can they tolerate Xiang Chu, a rebellious person, to join Cao Meng's command?"
"So you want to use Xiang Chu to make Cao Meng and those people suspicious, but why should Xiang Chu listen to you?"
"You are wrong, Xiang Chu never listens to anyone, only listens to himself, because he is Xiang Chu. And the gap between Cao Meng and those people has always existed, and it doesn't need to be born out of thin air. As I said before, Cao Meng is not a loyal family dog, he and those people are just using each other, since they are using each other, there will naturally be times when interests are inconsistent. ”
Zhuge Wanling and Luo Fengyan gradually walked into a pavilion, looked at the small bridge and flowing water, and sat down slowly, like an ordinary couple: "The royal family has never been a rigorous organization, the reason why they will gather together is because the divine enlighteners of the past generations have the power to lead them, such as my teacher, although he later lived in seclusion in the Tang Kingdom and was not on the council, but as long as he lived for a day, the royal family would never be separated." But unfortunately, he is no match for the years, and his successor ......"
After a pause, Zhuge Wanling showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "But he is a complete traitor, and it is impossible to inherit the great cause." In fact, if I had chosen to stay in the royal family, many things might have taken a turn for the better, but at that time, I was too young and too aggressive, and I was unwilling to wait for more than ten years for the teacher to die, which became the current situation. ”
People always make mistakes, but unfortunately, the cost of some mistakes is often very heavy, and it even takes some people a lifetime to make up for it.
Luo Fengyan didn't comfort him, but when she saw the loneliness in Zhuge Wanling's eyes, she lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Standing under the sun, looking at the still bustling crowd below the city cave and the city gate officials who were busy recording, Qin Ke also felt a little sleepy for a while.
These days, he has personally checked several clues, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and naturally he is very tired both physically and mentally.
And what frustrated him even more was that the clues he found were not useless, and there seemed to be an invisible hand in this Jianye City, which quietly erased all clues, so that every time he tracked down to a certain extent, it came to an abrupt end and could not go deeper again.
The more this is the case, the more worried he feels, and he always feels that Zhou Gongjin's conservative strategy may have made a mistake, but he can't say what this mistake is, it's just a strange intuition.
"Who is hiding behind this curtain, is it Sun Ji'an?" Qin Ke muttered in a low voice, then took out his waist card and re-mounted his horse in the very respectful salute of the city gatekeeper, and walked towards the outside of the city.
Shen Dao flipped through the dossier these days, and also found a clue from it, there is a temple on the mountain not far from the city, it is said that this temple was built by the Western Maha religion, and it has been more than 50 years now, and it has been written into the dossier by the tiger.
Although in the case file, Hu was only a passing person, Qin Ke felt that he should still check it, and it could be regarded as doing his best, even if there was no result in the end, he would not regret it.
