Chapter 15: Which Matters More (I)
The image that Ji Chengche saw in Wang Rou's first opened eyes was exactly what he had seen in his nightmare.
It's a coincidence, but it's not a coincidence.
said that it was a coincidence, his dream was the same as the floating shadow in Wang Rou's eyes, which was really creepy.
It is not a coincidence, because there should not be such a coincidence in the world, which can only show that there must be some mysterious connection between the two.
The garden is still the same garden, and the starry sky is still the same starry sky.
The wind blew, but Ji Cheng felt extremely cold.
Looking at Wang Rou's back on the high platform, like the most beautiful silhouette in the world, Ji Chengche suddenly understood why the ghost master would ask him about Mr. Big and the Immortal Land.
He closed his eyes with difficulty and opened the seven-page book of "Ye Weiyang" Ancient Demon Language.
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Chengche turned the pages of the book, and his heart shook suddenly, and his breathing stopped.
On top of the third page, which was originally blank, a strange picture appeared.
At first, it was a little vague, but gradually it became clearer, and I saw a girl emerge from the flood tide of doom.
Slowly, he saw her clearly.
In a trance, the girl seemed to look at him.
At the moment when the eyes of the two were intertwined, Ji Cheng's mind suddenly burst into a frenzied black light.
A "boom" sounded, and the picture disappeared back to reality.
Ji Chengqing's whole body was boiling with blood and a muffled snort, and he stumbled under his feet and almost didn't stop.
He let out a long breath, his mind agitating and uncontrollable.
Could it be that these seven pages are some kind of prophecy?
But why did he teach himself to get it, and why was it so consistent with the dream, and finally appeared in Wang Rou's cold eyes?
Presumably, the ghost master didn't have an answer, so he asked himself.
It's a pity that Ji Chengche can't find the answer, and the confusion in his heart is far worse than that of the ghost master.
"Brother Chengqing, come and see that there are meteors in the sky!"
Wang Rou on the high platform was unaware of all this, and happily turned back to beckon to him.
Ji Chengche involuntarily looked up, and a brilliant meteor passed from the east under the firmament, like a dazzling torch in this dark night.
Such a beautiful world, such a beautiful Wang Rou.
Ji Chengche suddenly laughed, and suggested to her on the high platform: "Hurry up and make a wish!"
Wang Rou asked ignorantly, "What is a wish?"
Ji Chengche smiled dumbly and said, "Of course, you tell the stars what you want to realize the most." ”
Wang Rou thought about it, closed her bright eyes, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and prayed reverently with words on her lips.
The meteor faded away at the end of the night in the distance.
Wang Rou opened her eyes and ran down the high platform, her face was red and she gasped slightly, and said with a smile: "Guess what I made?"
Ji Chengche pretended to be embarrassed, frowned and thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "A new dress for your birthday?"
Wang Rou was dissatisfied: "No, Aunt Yu sent me a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry, and I can't change them." ”
Ji Chengche secretly screamed ashamed, these days he was busy running and fighting, and secondly, he really didn't do anything about his daughter's family, and he ignored Wang Rou's life, but he didn't expect that Aunt Yu had already thought of it and did it silently.
Wang Rou didn't know what Ji Chengche was thinking, so she said to herself: "Brother Chengqing, Aunt Yu has gone to heaven, will she still give me gifts in the future?"
"Yes," Ji Cheng's heart trembled, and she replied with great certainty, "She will definitely not forget." ”
Wang Rou nodded with satisfaction and chuckled: "I said to Meteor, recover my memory quickly, so that I can help Brother Chengqing, and I don't need him to coax me and take care of me all the time." ”
Ji Chengche was stunned, and then realized that although Wang Rou had lost her memory, her mind had gradually recovered. It's just that he still didn't expect that the wish she made to Meteor would be such a wish.
He was moved in his heart, and a warm feeling surged to dispel the cold of the night, and he reached out to caress Wang Rou's waterfall-like hair from the back of his neck, and said in a deep voice: "You have helped me a lot." ”
Wang Rou said: "But I still want to help you more." Then you'll think I'm capable, and you'll never leave me alone and fight the bad guys. ”
Ji Chengche stared at Wang Rou's pure and beautiful face, her nose was sour for no reason, and she smiled hard: "No, I won't leave you alone." ”
Wang Rou smiled like a flower, happily stretched out her agate-like little finger and said, "Come, let's pull the hook!"
Ji Cheng's heart was like a hammer, and the bright and beautiful face in front of him gradually turned into Tang Xueluo's childhood, hooking his hand in the ice and snow and saying in a crisp and immature voice: "Hanging on the hook for a hundred years is not allowed to be laid, whoever depends is a puppy!"
His chest ached so badly all at once, like a fire burning, like ice frozen, blazing and cold.
Wang Rou noticed that Ji Chengche's face was different, the smile on his face was dull, and she held his hand and asked worriedly, "Brother Chengqing, where are you uncomfortable?"
Ji Chengqing smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired suddenly." ”
Wang Rou said obediently: "Then let's go back and rest." ”
Ji Chengqing nodded, and Wang Rou accompanied him to walk back slowly.
The prophecy of the seven-page book, the terrible dreams, the images in Wang Rou's eyes, these mysterious and treacherous events related to life and death in the world, were strangely entangled with the hook hanging, like a rock that could not be moved and pryed pressed on Ji Chengqing's heart.
His face was a little pale, his mind was confused, and he didn't even notice that Geng Tian was looking for him.
It wasn't until Geng Tian walked in front of him to salute and sing that Ji Chengche woke up like a dream.
Seeing Geng Tian's expression anxious and nervous, with fine sweat on his forehead, he lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness Chengqing, I just got the news that more than a thousand rebels raided the tomb of Emperor Zhangwu under the leadership of Qi Hongmen, the son of Qi Longxiang, and kidnapped Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Xiang Yu was kidnapped?" Ji Chengche was taken aback, Concubine Yu had just asked herself to take care of Xiang Yu on her deathbed, but something happened in a blink of an eye.
If Xiang Yu really has three longs and two shorts, how can he explain to Concubine Yu?
Ji Chengche quickened his pace and asked like a cannon: "Where is Xiang Lin, what did he say, what is the specific situation of the Zhangwu Emperor's Mausoleum, Xiang Yu can be injured, and what conditions does Qi Hongmen propose?"
"Your Majesty is guarding the soul of the Queen Mother in Qingci Palace, and has ordered Prince Fan to take full authority to rescue the princess. I don't know the specific situation of Emperor Zhangwu's mausoleum, but I heard that Qi Hongmen asked to exchange Her Royal Highness the princess for Xiang Ran. ”
Geng Tian hurried to keep up with Ji Chengqing's footsteps, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty does not agree to release Xiang Ran, I am worried that Qi Hongmen will make a desperate move and break the net." ”
Ji Chengche nodded, entrusted Wang Rou to Geng Tian to take care of him, and stepped into the mourning hall.
The lights in the Qingci Palace are as bright as day, and hundreds of ministers and princes of civil and military affairs in Beijing will wear a large piece of linen and filial piety, and kneel in the mourning hall to guard the spirit of Concubine Yu.
Ji Chengche didn't want to alarm everyone, so he quietly walked to Xiang Lin and knelt down, and said straight to the point: "Xiang Ran is in your hands, hand him over to me." ”
Xiang Lin bluntly refused: "No." ”
Ji Chengqing's anger surged, and he said in a low voice: "Then lend me one night." ”
Xiang Lin was unmoved: "No." ”
Ji Chengche said angrily: "She is Aunt Yu's only flesh and blood!"
Xiang Lin said: "I don't allow anyone to blackmail me, not even my only sister! This case will cause endless troubles, what I want today is Xiang Ran, and what I want tomorrow is my head! I will hold Xiang Yu hostage today, and tomorrow I may be a prince and important minister in the court!"
Ji Chengche said coldly: "So you want to watch her die?"
Xiang Lin avoided Ji Cheng's gaze, looked at Concubine Yu'er's coffin, and said lightly: "Yes." ”
Ji Chengche stopped talking, only smiled at Xiang Lin, and then slowly stood up.
Just when everyone thought that he would turn around and leave calmly, Ji Chengche suddenly flew up and kicked Xiang Lin in the chest.
Xiang Lin was caught off guard and was kicked over on his back, and there was a sharp pain in his chest, as if his bones were about to break.
The surrounding princes and ministers were all stunned by this scene, and they forgot to react for a while.
Xiang Lin slowly sat up from the ground with a pale face, looked up at Ji Chengche, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and said, "Enough." ”
Ji Chengche said slowly: "Ruthless, this is your choice as a monarch?!"
He turned around and ignored the gazes of countless surprised eyes, and strode out of Qingci Palace with his head held high.
Geng Tian was already waiting outside the Qingci Palace, and when he saw Ji Chengche coming out alone, he guessed the result of his negotiation with Xiang Lin.
Geng Tian stepped forward and said angrily: "Your Highness, I will go to the Zhangwu Emperor's Mausoleum with you!"
Ji Chengche shook his head and said, "I'm better at saving people than you." ”
He raised his head to the sky and let out a clear whistling sound, rolling away like a great river in the silent night sky, startling countless night-perched birds in the palace.
In an instant, the sound of a dragon's groan came from above the nine heavens, and Xuanshuang's bodybuilding and mighty figure appeared in the sky above the Forbidden Imperial City.
Ji Cheng's whistling sound did not stop, the sleeves of his robe rose up, and the wind and the moon fell on Xuanshuang's back.
The sky above the Forbidden City was guarded by the Great Chu Jinfeng Guard, but when they saw that it was Ji Chengqing and Xuan Shuang, they did not intercept it.
When the next person and a dragon walked away, it didn't take long for the golden mountain to burn in the deep night ahead.
Looking down from the sky, I saw from a distance the fire dragons meandering outside the Mausoleum of Emperor Zhangwu, which was the army loyal to the Great Chu Dynasty mobilizing and gathering. In the mausoleum of Emperor Zhangwu, it was pitch black and there was no light.
Ji Chengche fell from Xuanshuang's back, sneaking and stealing, flying towards the Zhangwu Emperor's Mausoleum under the cover of night.
The Zhangwu Emperor's Mausoleum in front of him continued to enlarge in the night, gradually becoming clearer, and even the pool of Taiye Pool behind Han Bixuan could be seen shimmering like silver in the moonlight.
The past comes from the beginning, as if from the end to the beginning, and has experienced a reincarnation in the dark.
Then Xiang Yi's unruly and majestic posture was no longer seen in Huai Jin's hall, and there would never be Concubine Yu'er's gentle and sincere voice, as if a dream was already a thing.
Tonight, the green bamboo forests in the imperial mausoleum are silent, and some people come by moonlight.
