Chapter 695: Haojie is the same
At the last moment, the person who dragged Liu Xunyi back from Huangquan Road was the master who ranked second on the Dragon Elephant List, "the first fast knife in Mobei" Su He.
For Su He's prestige and methods, Murong Bai is no stranger.
Back then, in the Qin Mansion in Hexi, Su He calmed the turmoil between the Central Plains martial arts and the Mongols with the strength of one person, and the touching scenes at that time are still lingering in Murong Bai's mind.
In front of Su He, there was a horizontal bar, and then Xu Heng, Ling Qing and others were bent on repaying their kindness, Murong Bai knew that it was impossible to kill Liu Xunyi today, and if he continued to stalemate, he would only attract the pursuit of the officials and soldiers.
Therefore, on the grounds of repaying the kindness for Xu Heng, Ling Qing and others, Murong Bai decided to temporarily let Liu Xunyi and his horse go, and then led people to leave in a hurry.
Although Liu Xunyi escaped by luck, his heart was not happy, but became heavier and heavier.
Facing Su He, Liu Xunyi was restless and at a loss. After all, the last time they met, Liu Xunyi was still a righteous hero, but now that they meet, he has become a traitor who everyone in the Central Plains martial arts shouts and beats.
What made Liu Xunyi's conscience even more disturbing was that, to some extent, he had indeed deceived Su He. On the other hand, Su He has always been a gentleman and honest to him.
In contrast, Liu Xunyi's words and deeds became more and more unkind and unjust.
However, before Liu Xunyi had the courage to confess everything to Su He, Su He asked with a serious smile: "Brother Liu, when Su first arrived in Lin'an, he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know where there was good wine?
"This ......"
Looking at the serious Su He, although Liu Xunyi was full of doubts, he was no longer hypocritical, and nodded in response: "Brother Su, come with me." ”
After that, the two rushed to West Lake Langyuan one after the other.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when they came to the West Lake Langyuan, the sun had gradually set in the west, and the sky was faint and dim.
Find a secluded tavern, choose a table by the lake, and ask for a jar of mellow rice wine.
Liu Xunyi and Su He sat opposite each other in the afterglow of the sunset, with the bustling city on the left hand side and the quiet lake light on the right hand, the two looked at each other silently in a movement and silence, and were speechless for a long time.
In an instant, several bowls of rice wine were down, and the faces of the two of them were slightly flushed, and there was a slight hint of drunkenness in their eyes.
Some things, the more sober you are, the more confused you are, and the more trance you are, the more you understand. Some words are difficult to say when you wake up, and only when you are drunk can you spit it out quickly.
"Brother Su!"
The knot in his heart is unsolved, Liu Xunyi's drinking is like swallowing a knife and swallowing fire, and every bite is spicy through his heart. After hesitating again and again, I finally made up my mind, anyway, "stretching out my head and shrinking my head is also a knife", it is better to be honest with each other, at least ask for a good time.
"Brother Su, about me...... I'm sure you've heard of it. Liu Xunyi's eyes fluttered, he didn't dare to look directly at Su He's eyes, and said, "Actually, I am the inner ...... installed by the Great Song Dynasty in the Xianwang Mansion."
"I know. Su He put down the wine bowl, waved his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said loudly, "The matter about you has been spread all over the world a few months ago, Su is neither deaf nor dumb, how can he not know?"
Liu Xunyi sighed and said bitterly: "Since Brother Su knows what I did, why did you save me just now?"
"What?" Su He raised his eyebrows and said incomprehensibly, "Could it be that Brother Liu thinks he is at fault?"
"Isn't that right?" Liu Xunyi laughed at himself, "The lord of Luofu treats me like a mountain, but I will take revenge, it's just that a pig and a dog are not as good as ......"
"Brother Liu is loyal to the monarch and acts according to orders, what's wrong?" Su He said, "When I first heard this, Su was really shocked. But if you think about it, if it were me, I think ...... You can't make a better choice than you can. Loyalty is hard to come by, and sometimes you have to make a choice, and if you follow one side, you will inevitably be wronged by the other. This is forced by the situation, and you cannot be blamed for it, nor can I blame you. ”
Su He's words made Liu Xunyi's eyes light up, and he said suspiciously: "Don't Brother Su think I'm a despicable villain?"
Su is not talented, but he also disdains to drink at the same table with despicable villains. Su He looked up to the sky and laughed, very hearty, "Maybe because Su is a Mongolian, he mostly stands in the position of a bystander on the affairs of the Central Plains, and he can't feel your grievances and hatreds, and naturally he can't measure who is right and who is wrong." ”
As for this, Su He's eyes quietly froze, the smile on his face became meaningful, and he said: "There is a saying that 'seeing is believing and hearing is false'." Liu Xunyi, whom Su knows, is a chivalrous and courageous hero, a true hero, and a true hero, and he is by no means a despicable villain who forgets his righteousness and betrays his lord for glory as rumored in the rivers and lakes. I believe that there is an irresistible reason for everything you do, and it is a choice that you have considered, hesitated and weighed again and again. Therefore, I only believe in Liu Xunyi who I know, and I will not believe in Liu Xunyi in the rumors. Just now, in order to forgive yourself, you swung your sword to kill yourself, which is enough to prove that Su Mou did not see the wrong person, Liu Xunyi stood up to the sky, valued love and righteousness, and was a good man!"
Su He's heartfelt words are undoubtedly a long-term drought for today's Liu Xunyi, and it is a charcoal in the snow.
When no one in the world believed in him, Su He supported him, believed in him, and even understood his difficulties without hesitation. For Liu Xunyi, this is more important, warmer, and more intimate than any "benefit".
Gratitude flowed from the inside out, and tears overflowed uncontrollably in my eyes. Liu Xunyi couldn't have imagined that until now, he could still meet a confidant in Lin'an City.
"Hearing Brother Su's words, Liu Xunyi ...... Die without regrets. ”
Liu Xunyi held back the tears of excitement, trembled and picked up the wine bowl, bowed to Su He, and then raised his neck and drank it all.
Countless bitterness and humiliation, accompanied by a bowl of liquor swallowed into the stomach.
It wasn't until this moment that Liu Xunyi suddenly woke up to the fact that what he really wanted was not an innocent truth, but the understanding and trust of others. For this reason, he did not hesitate to endure humiliation and burden, and even did not hesitate to lose his life.
"Brother Su, if I say...... I didn't kill the lord of Luofu, the truth that happened in the Xianwang Mansion on the eighth day of the lunar month is very different from the rumors in the rivers and lakes, you ...... Believe it or not?"
I don't know if it's because of the wine, or if it's hard to help myself, Liu Xunyi, who has been swallowing his anger and keeping his mouth shut, actually poured out an urge to explain everything in front of Su He.
Su He's eyebrows furrowed, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Liu Xunyi with a complicated expression, and he was silent for a long time before he nodded heavily: "I believe it!"
Just these words, like a warm current instantly spread throughout Liu Xunyi's body, making him feel extremely gratified.
"Actually, Su Mou never believed that you would kill the Lord of Luofu, nor did he believe that in the territory of the Lord of Luofu, you could set up an ambush unknowingly. Su He expressed the doubts in his heart, "Although Su has not had much contact with the Lord of Luofu, he also knows a little about his prudence and carefulness, and you want to do something under his nose...... It's not easy. ”
"Yes!" Liu Xunyi couldn't deny, "Back then, Di Mo had been lurking in the Xianwang Mansion for many years, and he was deeply respected by the mansion master, but he still couldn't find the opportunity to assassinate the mansion master, which shows that this matter is as difficult as the sky." I've only been in the mansion for two or three years, how can I assassinate the lord of the mansion with my own strength?"
"There really is something hidden in this matter!" Su He thought for a moment and hesitated, "In that case, why don't Brother Liu make the truth public in order to clear his grievances?"
Facing Su He's reminder, Liu Xunyi smiled wryly and shook his head: "First, I am indeed a traitor, and there is no wrong. Second, if I make the truth public, regardless of whether the rest of the world believes it or not, it will hurt a person deeply...... An innocent man...... Because of me, she has endured too much suffering that she should not have suffered, and besides, I have promised the lord of the house to take good care of her and not let anyone hurt her. Now, let me hurt her again for the sake of stealing her life, I ...... Therefore, I would rather be humiliated and scolded by the people of the world, and would rather be chased and killed until I have no way out, than say half a word......
"It turns out that you have been refusing to tell the truth in order to protect someone. Su He suddenly realized, suddenly changed his words, and said curiously, "I just don't know...... Who is the person that Brother Liu wants to protect?"
"I can't say it, and I don't want to say it......" Liu Xunyi looked sad and angry, and muttered, "I just said this, just to thank Brother Su for his trust and understanding of me." I want you to know that you're not looking at the wrong person. As for the truth on the eighth day of the lunar month...... I hope Brother Su won't mention this matter again in the future......"
Facing Liu Xunyi, who was in a trance but had a resolute attitude, Su He didn't ask much, and said with a smile: "Su has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Central Plains martial arts, and of course he has no right to interfere in Brother Liu's private affairs. Since Brother Liu has something unspeakable, Su doesn't ask. Come, let's drink!"
"That's right!" Saying the depression in his heart, Liu Xunyi's mood was much more relaxed, and his heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Su is not in Chifengling, why did he come all the way to Lin'an City?"
"Su was also temporarily ordered, and the Great Khan sent me to come to Ancheng to pick up my relatives......"
Before Su He finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. It's just that when he said the word "kiss", Liu Xunyi, who was originally curious, changed his eyes suddenly, and the expression on his face instantly froze, and at the same time, a thick sense of horror welled up between his eyebrows.
"Brother Liu, you...... What's wrong?" Su He was stunned, as if he didn't know anything about Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin's relationship, "But what's uncomfortable?"
"Brother Su just said...... Kissing ......" Liu Xunyi ignored Su He's concern, endured the turbulent waves in his heart, and asked word by word, "Dare to ask Brother Su...... Which family are you picking up?"
"Which one else can it be? Of course, it is the relationship between the Mongolian prince Kulie and the princess of the Great Song Xinde!"
"Boom!"
Before the words fell, the wine bowl in Liu Xunyi's hand fell to the ground, shattered and torn apart, and his face was like white paper, stunned like a wooden chicken.
