237 Fate is like a string (17)
Jun Li was a little surprised--Suzaku had always held at least one of the two of them hostage in his hands for fear that he or okra would not be able to escape, so why was he willing to let the two of them leave together? What's more, he should be eager to go back to the capital so that he could give the prince a resounding slap in the face, and if he went to the three meetings on the shore of Dongting Lake, it would take more time to go back and forth, let alone take a month, wouldn't he even care?
But such doubts are difficult to ask in the end, and since Suzaku has commanded like this, he can only nod his head and say yes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Suzaku seemed to have guessed his doubts, and a sneer appeared on his face, "If you want to fight the idea of running away, heh, you can't do it." Of course, I don't have anything at hand to blackmail you, but since this one named Song Ke is your friend, I can only take him back to Beijing - when you bring okra back, I will release him. ”
Jun Li's face changed slightly, "Master's words are serious, I-how dare I have the heart to escape again." Song Gongzi is also a member of the Black Bamboo Society, Master still please-please don't embarrass him......"
When Suzaku heard him say this, he sneered on his face, and his tired face showed slightly. "That's it. ”
Jun Li was stunned, a little at a loss.
Suzaku looked at him. "You have been worried about Shen Fengming since yesterday, he is now in the hands of the Phantom Realm, if you don't save him, just go back to Beijing with me like this, there must be resentment in your heart, right?"
"I ......" Jun Li denied.
Suzaku snorted, "I don't care about Shen Fengming's life and death, but if you are determined to save it, I can't stop you, take advantage of the opportunity of this three-branch meeting, if you save him alive, bring it back to me when the time comes, and I will settle it with him with my own account." ”
Jun Li knew that he was really giving in, and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Master." ”
"As for Song Ke - although he is fine now, he can't be said to be completely fine. In the past, you let okra slowly tell you about it - in short, okra is now determined to let this kid go wrong again, and I have to take it back to the capital - since the person is from the Black Bamboo Society, what's wrong with going back to Beijing?"
Where did Jun Li dare to say anything wrong, so he had to say, "Master is right. ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to leave soon. On the first day of the seventh month, the days of the three branches are short, and you should set out as soon as possible. Keep an eye on what is going on - I always feel that this man has other agendas, and if he has any ambitions, I am afraid that there will be many things in the future. But - this doesn't have to be said about okra and Lou Qianshan. ”
Jun Li nodded, "I know." ”
Suzaku closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about anything missing, and at the end, he stared at him again: "Prepare paper and pen." ”
---------
He never carried the "Spiegel Formula" with him, but he didn't want Jun Li to waste another month. Jun Li saw that he wanted pen and paper to write the sixth trick "No Silence", thinking that this matter might be time-consuming and troublesome in a hurry, and when he was about to push it off slightly, before the words came out, Suzaku had already said first: "The fifth trick 'tide surge' should be combined with the sixth trick 'no silence', but you only have one of them." If it weren't for the fact that you are introverted by nature and have been cultivating for many years, I am afraid that you have suffered a lot in the interval of three months. Today's matter is tight, and I only have to read this trick, the ins and outs of this trick, the inner center, I also told you to hear, you only take it to read and self-understand, and dispel the power of the 'tide'. When you come back, I will have my own school. ”
When Jun Li heard him say this, he could only accept it according to his words.
It seems like a long time since the last time I read his Mirror Technique. He pinched the recipe written by Suzaku in his hand, but vaguely remembered the booklet that Chen Rongrong gave him when he was in Meizhou. Now—as if it were all a passing dream—and he's back on track, back on—the path of the Ten Tricks.
But is this really the trajectory I should be on?
- This is my destined fate? At this time, okra was thinking the same question.
She sat alone in the small courtyard of the inn, not lonely, but her heart seemed to be empty, and she couldn't find a place to stay. This dense and fruitful summer is not your own, it is someone else's. All that she had pinned on — everything she had known would come one like this one — was gone.
There seemed to be a quarrel in the room where Song Ke was. She gathered her thoughts, as if she remembered that there was something else to distract her from at the moment. She got up and walked. If you change yourself to Song Ke, I am afraid that you can't bear to be restricted in your freedom at the moment of losing your loved ones. But-naturally he can't let him leave at this moment, otherwise he will go to Qinglong Valley to make a big fuss, and who knows if Tuoba Gu will be angry and send away the second son of the Song family, who has finally picked up his life.
Jun Li also walked out of Suzaku's house at about this moment. He saw okra walking to the other side, hesitated, did not make a sound, and silently followed. If you want to escort her and Lou Qianshan to the meeting on the shore of Dongting Lake, this matter must be told to them at the same time, even if they are unexpected, they will probably not object, but if Song Ke wants to return to Beijing with Suzaku from now on—he is afraid that he will not give in easily, right?
The sound of the dispute did not stop because of the arrival of okra, but as soon as Jun Li Fang stepped into the door, the room was silent. Song Ke seemed very surprised to see him here, and was stunned for a moment, "You...... Why are you here?"
He then looked at Okra and Lou Qianshan, and his expression turned a little incredulous, and a little cold disdain: "You-you're also from Suzaku?"
Jun Li naturally knew the doubts in his heart. Ever since they met on the South Path, Song Ke has always treated him as a fellow party of the Blue Dragon Sect - and he should be Suzaku's enemy. Now that things have changed repeatedly, although Song Ke has encountered enough sudden changes in friendship and enemies, it is difficult to expect that at this time, a Jun Li will also take an unexpected position-from his own hostile side, to another hostile side.
He had already sneered, "I really can't imagine that the righteous and awe-inspiring Jun Li Dao Leader who claimed to be a friend of the Qinglong Sect that day is actually just a lie!"
"Second Prince Song!" Lou Qianshan glared at him vigorously. So far, Jun Li and Okra are still unaware of Song Ke's hostility towards Suzaku. If he leaks it out in a fit of anger, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome in the future.
Song Ke's face was a little calm, and he knew that he really shouldn't be impulsive. But thinking of the third brother's new funeral, how could the sharp pain in his heart allow him to show a playful and happy attitude, he snorted reluctantly, only to hear Jun Li first say to Lou and Qiu: "Master asked me to inform you that he will leave for Lin'an soon, but I will go to the meeting of the three branches with you, and I will not walk with him." ”
The two were slightly surprised when they heard this. "Shall we go to the meeting of the three branches?" said okra, "and he will go back alone?"
Jun Li nodded. "He's still in the room, you go and say goodbye to him first, I have something to talk to Song Gongzi privately. ”
Okra's expression was slightly fixed, and he nodded, and then retreated. Lou Qianshan didn't say much, glanced at Song Ke, and left.
When Jun Li turned around, Song Ke's expression was calm, and he only said coldly: "Suzaku is your master?"
“...... That's right. The matter ...... It's not that I deliberately hid it, and I didn't have a chance to mention it in the first place. ”
"No chance? I asked you at that time what your relationship was with the Blue Dragon Sect or the Black Bamboo Society, and you didn't say that you were a person sent by Suzaku, but you said that you were a friend of the Blue Dragon Sect, this is not only a deliberate concealment, it is simply a deception!"
"Is it a deception?" Jun Li shook his head, "Although I am an apprentice of Suzaku, I have nothing to do with the Black Bamboo Society, but the Blue Dragon Sect has my friends." Suzaku didn't send me here, and although he was my master, he might not be able to influence my position. ”
"Hmph, open your mouth. Then I ask you, does Thorn know who you are, and have you ever hidden it from her?"
"She knows herself, what do you think?" it was Jun Li's turn to sneer, "but some people took advantage of her unpreparedness to make a move on her, and this account has not been settled." ”
Song Ke was speechless. He thought that Jun Li had to go with the thorn, but he must have concealed his identity, and then he would have more to say—how could he expect his answer to be unexpected. And looking back, what qualifications does he, a person who has concealed more identity and purpose, have to accuse him?
“...... Then what do you want to talk to me about?" he said, "If you want to settle the score, draw the line, otherwise—I will not be the same way, and I will go my own way, and I will have my own things to do!"
"I'm just trying to tell you that it's hard for you to get out of the way today. You don't think we are fellow believers, but after all, you are a member of the Black Bamboo Society, my master and he—but when you are a fellow believer, he refuses to abandon you. Your injuries are still in danger, and he is ready to take you back to Lin'an in the hope of better healing. Time is pressing, and I'm afraid you'll have to leave soon. ”
"Go to Lin'an, ridiculous!" Song Ke's voice was high, and he only felt a pain in his throat, and sure enough, he seemed to have a feeling that the residual poison had not been purified. "Why did he decide my ......?"
When he first said this, he did find it ridiculous. The body of the third brother has not yet been seen, the cause of death has not yet been ascertained, and the enemy has not yet been identified—but when he said the phrase "decide where I go", his heart suddenly trembled. Isn't my whereabouts just to deal with Suzaku? I'm just worried that I can't find a good opportunity and I'm looking for another way, and now he wants to take me back to Beijing alone, isn't this the best opportunity? The people who get in the way—his daughter, this Taoist priest, and that Lou Qianshan, none of them are close to the left, so why don't I want such an opportunity?
He felt that his heart seemed to float in the air for a while, and the anxiety and excitement made the blood of his whole body seem to churn, and he had to suppress it to maintain his composure. Jun Li has already said: "Ridiculous or not, you'd better not want to resist, what kind of decision does my master make, I'm afraid you can't resist." ”
He was prepared for Song Ke to be dissatisfied, but when he saw that his pale face was bloodied for a while, and his eyes became slightly red, he didn't say a word, feeling slightly strange, and said slowly: "Actually-no matter what important thing you have, it will not be wrong to wait until the injury is healed." Although my master is not easy to speak, he will not harbor malice towards you for no reason, and I have met you, and I am not trying to harm you. ”
Song Kefang said in a low voice: "I know." ”
This reaction was so unexpected that Jun Li was stunned for a moment, and he could only nod. "Just take care. When I come back—we'll see you in Lin'an in a month. ”
Song Ke didn't say anything more. In his heart, there was only the faint smile of the third brother Ah Su in his dying sleep, the several light calls that seemed to cross life and death, and the lingering sonorous sound of the piano at that time. He didn't want to abandon him, that was the only thought in his heart that dug deep like a rat to stop him from going with Suzaku like this, but - did he inadvertently see Suzaku as the enemy who eventually killed his third brother - to kill him, it was a hundred?
He knew that this was not the truth. But he forced himself not to look back for the truth, because the truth might be—maybe it was an answer that had nothing to do with him.
- "Ah Mo died because of me!"
Jun Li had also left, and he sat alone on the couch. A burst of blood, a burst of blankness, alternately crashed against his mind. When he left Huaiyang, he was full of enthusiasm—a passion that proved something, a passion that he had buried for too long. It seems that this is the first time that my father has explained to himself so solemnly, even if this incident is followed by more solemn words: "Don't act rashly."
He did not find such solemnity, probably because of his own unstable character, and naturally he did not put those eight words of such importance in a really important position. He has his own way of doing things - since he was a child, the Song family has known that Song Ke is the smartest child among the three brothers. The Song Ke who never forgets everything, the Song Ke who is always unexpected but has a bamboo in his chest, the Song Ke who even his father once lamented why he was not born as the eldest son - he got too little and too little in the Song family, the Black Bamboo Society, and even on this river and lake.
The instability buried under this handsome face probably stems from the unwillingness that has been buried all along—but that heart is still untainted, and he knows that there are many things that cannot be done, and only - and only the bad people can be killed, and the wicked people who destroy the good order can be killed!
It's a pity that he has never been taught that everything has a price—that is, he understands that the world is as cold as Lou Qianshan, and he has never been able to face yesterday's crisis that was about to erupt but faded in the blink of an eye—the price taken away. Suzaku or Tuoba Gu or Guan Fei, those martial arts overlords who can kill and take thousands of lives with a wave of their hands, really waved their hands to save a bloody storm -- will all this be passed on as a beautiful talk after a long time? What kind of bearing is that? How chic is it? But Song Zhen -- he is not worth it! Why is he? This young man whose name may not even be left in any record, his death is not worth it!
At this moment, Song Ke couldn't understand all this, and he didn't want to understand all this. All he knew was that he was sitting here today, and suddenly he found that his hands were wet with tears on his lap. He couldn't remember when he had cried like he did today—he couldn't stop crying. He didn't know what he was really crying about, maybe it was just—he just couldn't forgive himself for the decision he made today. He knew that assassinating Suzaku must be a way out and without return—but was this the only choice to cover up his cowardice and incompetence? Except for this life, which should have ended with that piece of music, what else could he repay Ah Yu—and what could make his father, who had neglected him for so long, remember his existence!
