106. New hatred and old hatred

Suzaku looked at her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at her face slightly red with anger. Okra is not a fake this time. She has seen a lot of her master's heartache over the years, and although she has never seen hoarfrost, she has unconsciously empathized with the sadness. She had never dared to really ask Suzaku anything, this one thing had always been in her throat, and now she finally asked.

But Suzaku only said ten words.

"I didn't send Bai Shuang to kill Zhuo Yan. ā€

"W-what?" said okra. "Who is it not you!...... She doesn't listen to others, she only listens to you!"

"I wanted to kill Zhuo Yan at that time, that's right. Suzaku said. "But even if I want to kill, I'll do it. White Frost, I wouldn't send her to do such a thing.

"It's just that Zhuo Yan still had the last hesitation to abandon me and join the Blue Dragon Sect at that time, and his friendship with White Frost was my last resort to keep him. I sent Zhuo Yan to do an extremely difficult task, asking him to bring me someone he never wanted to bring to me, and the white frost was what I used to provoke him.

"I was originally going to follow after Baishuang left for half a day, but I just wanted to see if Zhuo Yan's attitude would change in the middle of the day, and whether it was possible to leave him alive. It's a pity that something very important happened to me in that half a day. I was halfway there, and I rushed back with a letter, so I had to send someone else to go there. ā€

- "Is the ghost envoy Yu Rui right?" said Okra. "I remember it was him. ā€

Suzaku chuckled. "That's right. In fact, looking back, that extremely important thing, although it is also a person's life, is not so important compared to hoarfrost. If I had known that that turning back would be the difference between life and death, I—"

He paused for a moment, didn't say any more, and only said in a deep voice, "Okra, I'm not a god. I expected many things, but there were still many things I didn't expect. White Frost had died for me once before, and finally escaped with his life, and although I was still not as good as she was to me, I thought that I would not fail her. Perhaps I was too late to fathom a woman's mind, and I wondered why she felt deeply humiliated before me until then. I have never been more kind to any woman in this world than to her, but I am afraid that it is still too far from what she wants. She was thinking too much. I was supposed to go that time, but I didn't, and she finally broke out. I knew she wanted me to remember her, and I was afraid that one day I would forget her and abandon her. She just didn't know that she didn't have to die to make me remember.

"As soon as Baishuang dies, there is no last reason for Zhuo Yan to stay on my side. I knew that he would hate me, and I made up my mind to go to Tuoba Gu's side. Although there are still some people on my side, how well does Zhuo Yan know them, with him in the Blue Dragon Sect, I have no chance of winning at all. Even today, my identity is no longer what it used to be, and I don't dare to act rashly.

"Still, it's nothing. Time has passed, and I don't want to get entangled with the Blue Dragon Sect anymore, Zhuo Yan is willing to return the 'Seven Directions' to me, and I don't think he hates me that much anymore. It's a pity that even if that past is to be revealed, there is still Cheng Ping's new grudge, and he still has to guard against the Qinglong Sect. Cheng Ping's account must be on my head, so I don't know if Tuoba Gu's attention to Cheng Ping is enough for him to do evil with me again. ā€

"Isn't the account of Prince Ping on your head?" said Okra unconsciously. "Didn't you order him to be arrested, I heard that you took him that day too. ā€

"That's a good word. It's also because of the white frost - if she hadn't gone to her grave, she wouldn't have met Zhang Tingyi and her people on the way back, knowing that they had just lost Cheng Ping. Fortunately, I easily embellished a teenager with Cheng Ping in Wuhu, and I found him by chance. Write it on my head, yes. This was the condition that Zhao Gou promised to let me out. ā€

"The Emperor's condition? Is he going to arrest someone?"

"The first time we talked about this condition was four years ago. At that time, he had not yet abdicated, and in order to leave the prison, I took an opportunity to let him know about Cheng Ping. ā€

"Is it true that Mr. Ping is who he is now?" asked Okra. Is he really a descendant of the Zhao family? Is his father really the blood left by the emperor outside in the past?

Suzaku pondered for a moment and said, this truth, more than ten years ago, may have been a big matter, but now it's nothing, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. That's right, Cheng Ping is indeed a descendant of the Zhao family. His father was the son born outside when Zhao Gou was still King Kang. But Zhao Gou, who has been the emperor for so many years, is not that Zhao Gou.

Okra was shocked, and her speech became hoarse, and said, this ...... What do you mean by that? It's not that "Zhao Gou", is there another one?

"King Kang Zhao Gou, before Jingkang, was very young when he was very young, and he was asked to be hostage by the Jin people. At that time, he was the Nine Emperor Princes, but he didn't want to fall into the hands of the Jin people, so the cronies of the party helped him find someone who looked very similar, and sent him over in disguise. Many people related to this were immediately wiped out, and no one knew about this matter, but Zhao Gou himself could not return to Beijing for the time being, for fear of being known by the Jin people, so he had to avoid the limelight outside.

"Who knew that it didn't take long for the Jin people to become suspicious, thinking that the Nine Emperor Princes did not behave like the Nine Emperor Princes, so they had to send the Zhao family over with another one. This time it's good, the fake Zhao Gou was put back. He was afraid of the eyes of the people in the palace, so he didn't dare to return to Beijing, so he went to another city with his identity and entourage. When people heard that he had returned from the hands of the Jinren, they all praised him for his wit and bravery, and he slowly took root there, raised a group of cronies, and became powerful. The real King of Kang, Zhao Gou, because the people who knew his identity were almost wiped out by himself, but he couldn't prove his identity and became completely outcast.

But at that time, the fake Zhao Gou didn't think of killing him, until soon the Jin people invaded the south, the two emperors hunted in the north, and almost all the children of the Zhao royal family were captured. There was only this fake Zhao Gou, because he was not in the capital, he escaped and fled south. After entering Lin'an City, his status as the "Nine Emperor Princes" was already big, and he was soon embraced as the new emperor. Since he is not a descendant of the Zhao family, he actually doesn't care about the Zhao family, and he has no feelings for the captured second emperor, he just has fun all day long, and he doesn't want to recapture the country at all, or even favor the traitorous ministers, and kill Zhongliang, in fact, some people can see that he and the Nine Emperors of the year are like two people. It was only then that he remembered the real King Kang Zhao who was out of nowhere, and thought about getting rid of him as soon as possible.

So he sent people around to inquire about his whereabouts, but by that time the real King Kang had already become a commoner, marrying and having children abroad. He was almost dead at that time, and felt that he didn't expect the throne to fall to him anyway, and seeing that the country was already in chaos, it was better to give up the glory and die in peace.

"But although King Zhenkang has no intention of fighting again, the fake one will be uneasy after all, and at that time, several families in the palace and rivers and lakes were wiped out for this matter. I don't know if King Kang was stabbed to death in the end, but his son, Ping'er's biological father, was fostered since he was a child, and no one knew his identity. It's just that King Kang finally left a clue, and I inadvertently knew the identity of his descendants. I was very interested in this, but then the news leaked, and the Blue Dragon Sect also wanted to intervene.

"I won't mention these trivial things. In the end, I lost the game - not to Tuoba Gu, but to Zhuo Yan's borrowed knife killing. I ended up being imprisoned on charges of rebellion, and you can see why. Ping'er's biological father was killed, and their orphan and widow were taken by Zhuo Yan to Qinglong Valley to hide. I don't know what kind of play Tuoba Gu played, but I think it was like 'Tanuki for the prince', he found the corpse of a dead baby, and with Zhuo Yan's eloquence, he deceived people into retreating. Hmph, it's a pity that it was four years ago that I met this emperor. For more than ten years before, he didn't know that the original 'henchman's trouble' was still in the world. Four years ago, it was the war, and after he was not the emperor, he didn't deserve such a scene at all, and he had the idea of retreating, but he had no heirs, which was regrettable. At that time, the crown prince had already been established, and after he heard me talk about Cheng Ping, he was undecided. It is said that Cheng Ping is his trouble, he originally just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, but after more than ten years, he also felt tired, since he had no intention of taking the throne, he naturally did not have to kill Cheng Ping again, but he was old and had some weakness, and felt that after all, he robbed someone else's identity back then, and he should return it to others, but he had the heart to find Cheng Ping to enter the palace and inherit the unification.

"But Cheng Ping was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and he had never had such an upbringing in the palace, even if he found it, it would be impossible to abolish the crown prince and establish him. In desperation, he still gave up and passed the throne to today's son, who was the direct heir of Taizu. The world finally returned to the hands of the Zhao family, and as soon as the new son of heaven ascended the throne, he was very concerned about the country being taken by the Jin people, and he was fighting the Jin people with his own ideas. It's a pity that the available generals have been almost killed, even if he has the heart, he is powerless.

"At the end of the previous year, the war stopped, so last year, the Emperor Taishang probably felt calm, so he remembered Cheng Pinglai again, so he came to me and asked me to arrest people for him. When I asked him, 'What's the use of you catching him now,' and he replied, 'He doesn't die for a day, and I don't have peace for a day,' but the next two days he would say, 'It's good to have a grandson with you, even if it's not your own.'" I really don't know his intentions, whether he is more afraid or more guilty. But since this was the condition he negotiated with me, I had no choice but to bring someone to him. The secret of his own identity is known only to me in Ouchi, although at his age now, there is no big problem, but after all, he is still afraid, so he does not dare to offend me and let the emperor place me in the position. I knew that he was moody, and of course he immediately held the power of the Great Inner in his own hands, and it also saved him from turning his face and denying people, and I fell into passivity. Now he just wants to turn his face and move me, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

"You ask me about the ins and outs of Cheng Ping, that's it. This matter is actually not a secret, and there must be many people in the Blue Dragon Sect who know about it. Why, do you still want to get him out?"
