Chapter 180, needless to say
[The 71st year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, April 21, Xushi, Tsing Yi Wei Zhao Prison, Jiazi No. 12 Cell]
Xu Ke leaned back on the wooden bed in the cell, thinking blankly.
After he had dinner with Mingyue, he ordered Mingyue to go back to his cell to rest, leaving him to sit alone, thinking about the sky.
At this moment, he really has too many questions in his heart.
He was thinking about where Sister Hu, Brother Shuxian, Sister Xiaobei, and the incompetent second brother had gone? Thinking about why Lu Huoli and Mao Jiaojiao had suddenly appeared in the Xu Mansion on April 16 to help Sister Hu and them? Thinking about why Lu Huoli had suddenly kidnapped King Jin, what did he want to do?......
However, what Xu Ke thinks about the most is still the wheel of fate.
In the 12-line life wheel of Jiazi, he was kind and kind, and at the east market entrance of Chang'an City, he waved his sword to repel the setting sun that incarnated as the "Golden-winged Demon King", and finally saved the life of Li Ci, the king of Jin, but what did he get in exchange? Li Ci took revenge on himself for his kindness! Li Ci not only did not think of his life-saving kindness to him, but in order to get Murong Yan to commit himself to him, he did not hesitate to frame himself for "fornicating with the demon clan and attempting to mutilate mankind!" and sent himself to the edict prison there, and sentenced himself to "Ling Chi to death"!
In today's eight-line life wheel, I originally thought that I had finally avoided the person who would take revenge, but I didn't expect that fate would push me in a similar direction:
Within two days, his friend Cheng Wanli and his senior brother Li Yi came to the prison to persuade him to go to Jinding Mountain to rescue Li Xi.
According to Cheng Wanli and Li Yi, he only needs to take a "Xuanhuang Sword", follow Wang Jianling, the head of the Jin Palace, to a cave under Jinding Mountain, and hand over the "Xuanhuang Sword" to Lu Huoli, in exchange for the safe return of the King of Jin. As long as he gets this errand done, they can all guarantee that the Son of Heaven will forgive him Xu Ke for all his crimes, not only release him from prison and reinstate him, but even reward him with a great merit!
Xu Ke also thought that if he could use this to clear himself of all his charges, he would be able to get out of this edict prison earlier, and go to visit and rescue Sister Hu and them earlier. However, if he really did this, wouldn't he be the same as what happened in the 12-line life wheel of Jiazi, and he pushed himself in the same direction with his own hands?
That Li Ci, the king of the Jin Dynasty, tried his best and tried his best to put himself to death and then hurry up, but he still had to go to Jinding Mountain to rescue him from the clutches of Xiao Guoshi?
In Xu Ke's heart, it was really a very happy thing for the King of Jin to be kidnapped by Lu Huoli! If a sinister villain like Li Ci could die just like that, it would be the best! What else did he have to do to save him? Could it be that after he returned to Chang'an, he would come and frame himself again?
The experience in the 12-line life wheel of Jiazi has given Xu Ke a clear understanding of Li Xi's personality. Yes, Xu Ke always had a hidden worry in his heart, he was worried that if he really saved Li Ci, in the end, he would get himself a "revenge" ending......
However, his senior brother Zhao Wang Li Yi, as well as Cheng Wanli, the chief manager of the forbidden army, and even the Mingyue girl, who has been by his side for the past few days, have been persuading themselves bitterly, persuading him to let go of his prejudices, and it is important to save people first. In any case, Li Ci is a prince of Qizhu in Daqian, and the opponent is Lu Huoli, the national teacher of Xiao State, so it is reasonable for Xu Ke to go to the rescue!
Xu Ke couldn't help but sigh again and again:
Could it be that no matter which life wheel I am in, I can't escape the same fate?
This Li Ci is not only my nemesis, but also, when this person is in trouble, I have to fight to rescue him?!
What is the wheel of fate? Is the fate of all people in this world predestined in the dark? No matter how hard you struggle, you will never be able to escape the control of fate!
Even if you change the wheel of life, the ending will still go in the same direction.
It's just that the fate between himself and Xiaobei, how did he give birth to great changes in this wheel of life?
Thinking of Yao Zibei's recent situation, Xu Ke couldn't help but be worried.
Xiaobei is already pregnant, before, he saw that Xiaobei has been looking bad, and listened to Hu Yiyi's words, Xiaobei has not only eaten very little during this time, but also has been depressed, such a state is not a good thing for a pregnant woman.
On April 16, Nangong was silent and took people to Xufu to catch demons, although Hu Yiyi escaped with Xiaobei, but Xiaobei was a pregnant woman, and she was not enough to recuperate before, and now she has been in chaos again, can her body still hold on?
He knows Xiao Bei's temper, and what Xiao Bei believes in his heart, he will never change it lightly. Xiao Bei is going to give birth to the child in his arms, and he has no right to stop it. However, in the original life wheel of the 12th line of Jiazi, Xiaobei did not have such a difficult past!
It seems that the change of the wheel of life is really not clear!
......
Xu Ke was thinking so crankily, and the door of cell No. 12 was suddenly opened. Xu Ke couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, it's so late, who else will come to see me?
Xu Ke heard the sound of the ancient wood incense of the hundred households of the Bei'an Ping Division coming from outside the door:
"Lord Wang, Xu Qianhu is inside!"
"Well, stand down!"
The voice that came later, Xu Ke was very familiar, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Brother Xue!"
Sure enough, two people walked in outside the door, one was thin and weak, like a thin willow facing the wind, it was Li Jin, the king of Wei, and the other was burly, like a giant tree towering to the sky, it was Xue Tao, the official general of the right feather Lin Wei.
"Haha, disease-free brother, we haven't seen each other for many days!" Xue Tao strode up to Xu Ke, gently punched Xu Ke in the chest, and smiled heartily.
"Brother Xue, why are you here?"
"I, Lao Xue, have long wanted to see you coming! I can't leave because I'm so entangled in official business that I can't leave! Today, I heard that His Royal Highness is coming to see you in the edict prison, so I'm going to come with you!"
Xue Tao then glanced at Xu Ke and said:
"Brother Innocent, Your Highness has personally come to visit you!" 520
At this time, Li Zhen was standing far behind Xue Tao, and his eyes did not look at Xu Ke, but looked left and right, carefully looking at this Tianzihao cell where outsiders talked about the tiger's color change.
After all, the Hanyuan Hall of that day was already facing up, and King Wei was almost a lifesaver for himself, Xu Ke hurriedly got up from the wooden bed and got off the ground, walked in front of Li Jin, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand:
"No disease, see His Royal Highness King Wei!"
"Get up, sit!"
Li Zhen personally helped Xu Ke up, and the expression on his face was no longer the majesty and coldness of the past, but a warm and easy-going like father.
Li Zhen immediately instructed Xue Tao to withdraw from the prison door, carefully guard there, and not let anyone approach.
Xue Tao immediately received the order to retreat, and only Li Zhen and Xu Ke were left in the cell.
The two of them then sat down at the only square table in the cell, and there was still a half-pot of hot water that Mingyue had boiled earlier, and it was still warm. Xu Ke took two black bowls, poured some warm white water, which was regarded as two cups of warm tea, and put them in front of himself and Li Jin.
Li Zhen stared at Xu Ke's face for a long time, and there was a rare smile between his eyebrows.
"I haven't seen you for half a month, I heard that you have been staying in the Imperial Prison, and when I see you today, your complexion is not bad?" Li Zhen said with a smile.
"Your Highness, most of the people here used to be my subordinates, and although I am now a prisoner, they are not slow to treat me!" Xu Ke reluctantly found a reason to deal with it.
"Do you know why this king came to you tonight?" Li Jin's consistent style is to get straight to the point, and he doesn't like too many pleasantries.
"Your Highness, don't you want to persuade me to go to Jinding Mountain to rescue King Jin?"
"Exactly!"
"Please forgive me for not being sick and daring to respond to orders!"
"Why?"
"Your Highness, at this time, there is no illness, but a prisoner in the edict prison, his own life is still difficult to protect, how can he have the ability to rescue the King of Jin?"
What Xu Ke said at this time was still the same as what Cheng Wanli and Li Yi said.
Li Zhen picked up the big black bowl and drank a sip of the warm water inside, only to feel that the taste was very bitter, as if there was a strange smell, and the "Hangzhou Longjing Tea" brewed in his palace was very different, but Li Zhen did not frown, but asked rhetorically:
"Do you want to say that because of the King of Jin, you were ordered by the Son of Heaven to be sentenced to the crime of 'fornicating with demons', and you were originally innocent, but you were robbed of office and imprisoned for no reason!
“......”
Xu Ke did not answer, but lowered his head, Gu Zi took the black bowl, and drank a few sips of warm water in the bowl. This water was brought by Mingyue from the well in the center of the edict, because the well has been in a place of deep yin qi for a long time, so there is always a strange smell in the water.
When Xu Ke drank water, he seemed to remember again, in that wheel of life, he had lived with Hu Yiyi, Yao Zibei and others, although the warm water they drank every day was not as good as the well water in his black bowl at this time, but the life of more than a month was a happiness that he could not forget for a long time.
Li Zhen then asked:
"Do you think that since a character like King Jin fell into the hands of Lu Huoli and simply died at the hands of the national teacher of the Xiao Kingdom, he will also end up clean?
Xu Ke raised his head and replied casually:
"Isn't it?"
"Confused!" Li Zhen then changed his words and said:
"The big husband walks in the world, beware of great ambitions, how can he mistake himself for petty grievances?"
"......" Xu Ke bowed his head and said in his heart, King Jin was bent on letting me die, not only trapped me in the edict, but also sent a "sleeping flower pill" to "reward" me, are these still "mustard grudges"?
Li Zhen saw that Xu Ke was silent, so he continued:
"No disease, do you want this king to go to the edict to see you this time, is it for you to rescue the king of Jin?
"Oh, who else does Your Highness want me to save?"
Li Zhen put down the black bowl, his face was straight, and he said eloquently:
"The person that this king wants you to save, his surname is Xu, his name is Ke, and his words are not sick! In the eyes of this king, he is a man with great ambitions! Although he is young, he can take it as his responsibility to help the world and benefit the people as his wish! He is an upright official, honest and honest, and he is not afraid of the powerful and powerful, and he is a model for the strong and the weak! He can be called a model for a hundred officials and a model for people! I don't know if you still recognize this person? !"
"Your Highness, how dare you be so reckless when you are disease-free?" Xu Ke heard that King Wei could evaluate himself like this, and at this moment, he was moved for no reason.
can be so praised by this famous "Iron Mask King", how many people can there be in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?
"If you don't want to say anything else, this king just wants to ask you tonight, this 'Xu Wuxi' in this king's heart, in the end, are you willing to save it?"
