Chapter Forty-Nine: Changes (Part II)
"Who is the third change about?" Zhao Wu'an asked. Shushu.com is the fastest updated
Just listen to Liao Xiaoran's word by word.
"The First Emperor. ”
Zhao Wu'an was shocked, he never thought it would be him.
"The changes in Dongfang Lianmo and Xie Hui directly led to the turmoil in the rivers and lakes of the two dynasties, and the warriors of the rivers and lakes controlled by the emperor have returned to the two giants, and all kinds of troubles and conflicts have emerged one after another. According to the original plan, the temples of the two dynasties wanted to work together to create an obedient master of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, but the situation at that time was no longer possible to meet this requirement.
"Even if a martial artist from the Heavenly Mandate Realm really appears, it will only be a trouble for the dynasty, not a sword that can be used with peace of mind. Thirty years after the implementation of the plan, the rivers and lakes will become like this, which no one expected at the beginning.
It is precisely because of this that the former emperor who inherited the throne, in his old age, decided to abandon the strategy of his predecessors, and under his influence, the current emperor has long given up this illusory pursuit and wants to find another way to defeat Da Liao.
"Dongfang Lianmo and Xie Hui only made a mess of the rivers and lakes, and the change of these two emperors directly rewrote the balance between Song and Ye that lasted for forty years. Millions of households in Xiliang have all become spies, and you who are hiding in Mobei to hide people's eyes and ears have also been wanted by the emperor. In desperation, the battle of Song Ye was about to break out. ”
Zhao Wu'an was stunned.
He had thought about it countless times, about the war in Mobei, about the imperial art of the Great Song Dynasty.
In fact, he has already accepted all this, and in front of Tai'an Gate, he drew a sword to protect the country for the common people in the world.
He can accept all whitewashing and all evils, because he knows that he will never get rid of all the sins of this earthly world, and what Zhao Wu'an wants is of course the truth, but he doesn't necessarily have to get what he wants.
And when the truth of the facts is in front of him, all the mistakes and deliberations of the past seventy years, such a result is obviously far beyond his expectations.
In history, the Song and Ye dynasties were peaceful for more than 30 years, and the leaves suddenly became difficult, and the iron horse stepped on the north of the desert. Da Song reacted quickly, divided into three ways by the Xiliang soldiers, and laid down half of the country in just three months, and finally it was the young and talented second prince Jialan Anxulie who fought against the water in the Eagle Valley, and refused to allow the Song army to be outside the country, so as to write the ending of this war.
“...... I see. Zhao Wu'an closed his eyes.
Many times, the truth isn't cruel or even hurtful.
It is not a sword after all, it may be just a testimony, it may be just a handprint, it may be just a few short sentences.
But what it left behind was much more brutal than a sword.
It is an irretrievable and irrepentent fact, and therefore it carries with it irrefutable feelings that cannot be escaped.
For Zhao Wu'an, the name of that feeling is apology.
Sorry for the countless Li people who died in the Battle of Song Ye.
Liao Xiaoran stood up, walked over and gently covered his hand, with a soft expression.
"Don't mind about Garan Anxulie, I also heard that the current saint has made another general You'an. This is not only the respect that those two emperors have for you and Garan, but also the result of your efforts. This is the only thing that will never change. ”
She whispered: "Although Jialan Anxulie didn't know the truth about your entry into leaf making until he died, he still tried his best to live his life, blocking the counterattacking Song army for the people of leaf making, and dedicating his own small strength to the common people in the world." ”
Zhao Wu'an lowered his head and said softly, "Yes." ”
Liao Xiaoran has spoken to this point, and there are very few things that Zhao Wuan still doesn't understand.
Only the last one remains.
"However, since even the emperor has given up this plan, why do you and Yuwen have to continue alone?"
Liao Xiaoran was silent for a long time, and there were stars in his eyes.
"It's very simple, because I am not subordinate to the Great Song Emperor. It is the descendant of the Liao family among the four retainers who served the emperors of the previous dynasty and served the emperors of the previous dynasty and the most powerful of the Li Tang royal family in the last years. ”
Zhao Wu'an was taken aback: "The emperor of the previous dynasty?"
"In order to protect the common people in the world, the ancestor of the Liao family, on the order of the last Emperor Li Tang, assisted the Great Song Gaozu to complete this unprecedented century-old plot. Even though the Zhao family rebelled, the Liao family had to be loyal to the Li Tang royal family no matter what, and shed the last drop of blood before they could stop. ”
Liao Xiaoran's words were loud.
Outside the window, dark clouds gather like mountains and rivers.
"It is precisely because of the frequent changes in recent decades that we have no choice but to shape you in such a roundabout way. Liao Xiaoran said quietly, "King Gong was deposed, the palace was burned down overnight, and after the battle of Song Ye, the Zhao family looked for and killed a person named Zhao Wu'an in the world to prevent future troubles. Originally, I thought you wouldn't be able to make it this far. ”
At this, a smile of relief appeared on her face.
"Unexpectedly, you survived by your own efforts, drew your sword to protect the country, moved the little emperor who didn't understand people, and was willing to rehabilitate Jialan Anxulie for you. To be able to do this, you have far exceeded my initial expectations of you, and if it weren't for Sang Yu's visit, you wouldn't even need to know these things. ”
Zhao Wu'an turned his head blankly and looked at Dailou Sangyu behind him.
"In the three years that Miao Jiang protected you, Dai Lou Bei secretly wrote the whole plan on a few rolls of bamboo slips, I wanted to wait until the end of his life and passed it on to Dai Lou Duyun, but how did he expect that the world was impermanent, he died too early, and he died before he had time to explain this. A few days ago, Sang Yu took over the position of King Miao and got those encrypted bamboo slips written by Dai Lou Bei himself. ”
Zhao Wu'an was listening in a daze, and Dailou Sangyu took out a bamboo slip out of nowhere and held it up in front of Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wuan stretched out his hand to take it and looked back and forth. Both sides of the bamboo slip are blank.
"The tool that Dai Lou does not use to write is not an ink pen, but a colorless and odorless bait, which is imperceptible when integrated into bamboo slips. Only a special species of centipod can smell its breath and are very fond of this food. When you walk on it with 100 feet and eat delicious food, your body will form the shape of a word. Liao Xiaoran explained.
Dailou Sangyu said proudly: "I have a lot of such insects! The whole bamboo slip is full of words at once!"
"You also know that Sang Yu is the princess of Miaojiang, and she is covered with poisonous insects, so she accidentally interpreted these words. Liao Xiaoran said, "Dai Lou Be's special drawing of my map of my seclusion since then, I didn't expect Sang Yu to follow this and come directly to the door." ”
Zhao Wu'an was stunned and looked at Dailou Sangyu: "So, bring me here and let me know everything, that's what you mean?"
Dailou Sangyu nodded seriously, bit his lip and said, "I think you want to know the truth." ”
Zhao Wu'an was stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he chuckled helplessly: "...... That's true. ”
It's a pity that this kind of truth doesn't make much sense to know.
Zhao Wu'an swallowed the second half of the sentence into his stomach.
At this point, it is impossible to continue the plan of the year, and it is unknown what height Zhao Wu'an can reach in this life. That's all your own business, though. ”
How should they face the intricate martial arts situation today, how should they impact the realm of the Heavenly Mandate that everyone yearns for, and should they really lead the Song people to defeat the Liao State as they once expected.
"Now I can't point fingers at you anymore. Do what you want to do, and it is not in vain that you have grown up to what you are today under the attention of my Liao Xiaoran. ”
Liao Xiaoran smiled warmly.
Although his face is old, he still does not change his smile, which makes people feel as sad as when he was young.
And what is even more heartbreaking is what she said.
"Do what you want to do. ”
How similar it is to the last words of Garan Anxulie.
Zhao Wu'an lowered his head, closed his eyes, and clenched his teeth into tears.
In Zhao Wu'an's short life, there was little warmth, and more of the warmth and coldness that the world taught him early.
If you can't get over the hurdle, grit your teeth and pass. They are all used to forcing themselves, and they don't even know how to make a request even when they open their mouths.
However, the people I think about day and night are around. Compared with Liao Niang, he wanted to call her in a different way.
Zhao Wu'an's lips trembled and he asked one last question.
"Why didn't you come to see me all these years?"
When he made his own leaves and stepped into the desert north, he could no longer find her. Walking to the ends of the earth, she knew all her footprints, but he didn't even know if she was still alive.
Liao Xiaoran sighed lowly.
"I have other things to do. She looked out the window at the rain that was about to fall, "There are many tasks for the descendants of the Liao family, Yuwen has been wandering inside and outside the temple for many years, and there has never been a moment of stopping, and I am almost the same." ”
Zhao Wu'an bit his lip tightly.
Dailou Sangyu stood on the side for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly squatted down and hugged Zhao Wu'an, who was trembling.
"You should at least tell me you're alive. ”
"I still don't have to. ”
Liao Xiaoran smiled bitterly.
"It's not me who desperately took you out of the burned Prince Gong's mansion, it's not me who arranged everything for you, and even the one who left you a way out in the Ye-making Palace was just Yuwen Lonely, as for me, from beginning to end, it was just the Liao girl who was outside Helan Mountain, looking at Youzhou stupidly, waiting for the head of the family who would never come back. ”
“...... Yes. Zhao Wu'an's face was as pale as paper.
The rain curtain rolled in, and the sound of snapping sounded in the distance, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.
I don't know how long I was silent, Liao Xiaoran suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to see her?"
"Who?" Zhao Wu'an was puzzled.
"Zhao Xilian. Her tomb is on the hill. Liao Xiaoran said, "Both are from Prince Gong's Mansion, and she and you are also relatives." ”
Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a long time.
Liao Xiaoran smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I don't say it, you should have guessed your life experience, right? On the night that Song Gong's palace was burned, we rescued you." Your surname Zhao is not the humiliation that the emperor gave to Jialan Anxulie, but the glory that belongs to you. ”
Zhao Wu'an pursed his lips. "It's not glorious. ”
He lifted the Roselle sword box, lost behind him, and went out alone.
Dailou Sangyu's face was solemn for a while.
Soon after he left, there seemed to be a sound of murder on the shores of the Silent Lake.
The rain is getting heavier.
Liao Xiaoran, who was packing up the oil-paper umbrella by the door, suddenly had no head and no brains to ask: "In White Horse Town, have you seen an old man who struck iron?"
Dailou Sangyu was stunned for a moment and nodded. She followed Zhao Wu'an from the beginning of Xiajiang, and had already seen Liao Xiaoran at that time, and took a trip to Shu again.
"Soon after you left, the Black Cloud Society found him. That's when I knew they were going to find it here. ”
The sound of rushing and killing was close at hand, Liao Xiaoran leaned over and picked up an umbrella and opened it like a flower.
She turned her head and smiled softly, in a trance as a teenager.
"Let's go, kid, don't look back. ”
"Take care of him. ”
