Chapter 37 (52)
At this moment, a stone suddenly flew from the side and hit the tip of the knife. The strength was not heavy, but because Li Yijie's hand holding the hilt of the sword really didn't have half the strength, and when he touched it slightly, he couldn't hold it immediately, and the dagger was out of his hand. Xuanshuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the onlookers probed their brains, all of them were happy to see the excitement.
Jiang Yanchen's face changed, and he said angrily: "Who dares to come and ruin the good things of this seat? Get out of here!" Previously, he thought that he was in his hands on the victory, and although he pressed Li Yijie harder, he was never in a hurry. It's just because he knows that Li Yijie's resistance is in vain, and in the end he has to walk on the road he has paved, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all. But seeing that Nangong Xue was about to splash blood on the spot in the next moment, he stopped people at this critical juncture. The tension in the heartstrings, the unattained heart, the worst, forced him to be really annoyed.
Nangong Xue and Li Yijie are not very curious about this life-saving benefactor. No matter how high that person's martial arts are, he must only be a master of wisdom, and even he has no choice, so what's the use of expecting others? This is just a small episode that goes on halfway, and both of them just want to take this opportunity to look at each other more, and completely ignore foreign objects.
I only heard a loud shout from the foot of the mountain: "Which way of chaos dares to act again? When the holy decree arrives—the holy decree arrives—why don't they all come to kneel down and receive the order?" Then the procession came quickly from the foot of the mountain, many guards were still shouting loudly, and others walking in front waved a huge bright yellow banner with a fiery red word "Qing" on it. The leader's face was grim, he only cared about the speed under his feet, and he didn't say a word, but it was Shangguan Yaohua.
Jiang Yanchen flicked the sleeves of his robe, and when the officers and soldiers came to the front, he turned around proudly, obviously ignoring this group of people. He said lightly: "It's you, Yaohua? You want to use the holy decree to suppress me today? When will this trivial matter of the Huashan faction be enough to alarm the holy driver? This seat didn't go to the trouble of the emperor's child, but he dared to meddle in his affairs! For the sake of you personally passing on the decree, this seat will listen to what nonsense is written in the edict. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said coldly: "The emperor Chrysostom, I don't care to open the way of demons like you. The Huashan faction, hmph, the little Huashan faction, even if all of them are destroyed, what do you have to do with the emperor and my Qing Dynasty? Do you think your every move can still be cared about by the Pope at all times?"
The person who can provoke Jiang Yanchen in such a contemptuous tone, and who can survive so far, may be the only one who is Shangguan Yaohua, so he can be said to be of great use to this preferential treatment. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on his face, he was very satisfied with the effect, raised his head, his nostrils were almost tilted to the sky, and said, "This king is ordered by the emperor to welcome Ling Beile back to the palace. Otherwise, they will all be punished for committing the crime of causing disorder!"
Xuanshuang looked at him in a daze, and his face was extremely painful. Secretly clenched his fists, not knowing whether to come forward to face his responsibility, or simply find a hidden place and hide to count.
This group of people in the martial arts has no ability, but inquiring about the gossip in the rivers and lakes, and then selling off the shortcomings of the parents, is a top first-class. After hearing these words, he immediately commented: "Ling Beile, I have heard of him, isn't that the most beloved son of the Qing Emperor? Later, he suddenly disappeared, and he could not be found anywhere. Some say he's long dead. "It doesn't matter if he is dead or alive, the emperor lost his son, why did he find Huashan?
Xuanshuang listened to everyone's gossip, and he had never been afraid of the sky or the earth, but he also felt timid, and he never dared to come out. Unintentionally, he quietly raised his eyes and saw Shangguan Yaohua's eyes looking at him, obviously he had discovered him early in the morning, or because he was taking care of his face, he did not openly expose it. This is also to give him a chance to repent of his own mistakes, and in the ears of the emperor, the crime will be lighter. How could he not know about this painstaking work, but his legs were like they were filled with lead, and he could not move them.
The original owner recognized Shangguan Yaohua, and was also shocked when he suddenly appeared here. Regardless of whether he was on official business or not, he blurted out: "Yaohua, how did you have the time to go to Huashan? What about Brother Ping? How is Ping's niece now?" If you want to say that the thing he cares about the most, in addition to the misfortune of Huashan in front of him, it must belong to the father and daughter of the owner of Pingzhuang. In the end, it is a brother who grew up together, no matter how unkind he is, he can't be unjust to him.
Shangguan Yaohua raised his eyes and looked at him, his expression was like he was a stranger, and he replied without half emotion, and said, "Remember, the two of them are safe." Turn the message of the owner of the village, and ask me to greet the original brother well. With a turn of his eyes, he looked at the gray-faced Li Yijie, and snorted coldly: "Brother Li, the dignified martial arts alliance leader, why is he so embarrassed that he can't get up on the ground?
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "Brother Shangguan, don't make fun of me." You...... You better go quickly, at the foot of this Huashan Mountain, it is already buried*. Late...... It's too late!"
Shangguan Yaohua's gaze swept over Jiang Yanchen's face, and his response was still unfazed, and said: "Did he say *? Do you think this king is blind? All the way up the mountain, I have already ordered someone to dismantle all the *, what are you afraid of?" Li Yijie was half-convinced, and his heart was still hanging in the air.
Xuan Shuang gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind, walked out from behind the crowd, tried her best to keep herself from losing her face, and said, "I am him, what do you have to say to me?"
Everyone exclaimed in unison, and their eyes were fixed on Xuanshuang. No matter how Shangguan Yaohua beat the gongs and drums before and made a big noise, it can't be as shocking as this sentence after all. After a moment of silence, the discussion sounded again, and said, "That Blood Demon Young Master is Ling Beile......?" Is this joke big enough?" "The dignified son turned out to be the deputy head of the Demon Sect? It seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Manchu Qing Dynasty colluded with the Demon Sect are really true!"
Xuanshuang ignored others, stood still in front of Shangguan Yaohua, and said, "Huang Ama wants you to come and arrest me and return to the palace? I ran away from the palace at the beginning, but now I want to take the initiative to go back, where will I put my face? After I go back, I have to live that kind of life that is frightening and deceitful every step of the way, and I finally escaped from it, and I will never throw myself into the net!"
Shangguan Yaohua said: "The emperor has brought the greatest mercy, where is he going to take you for the crime? As soon as he heard that you were in Huashan, he immediately asked me to bring troops to meet you, and if it weren't for the busy state affairs, he would have personally come to pick you up." The emperor wants me to tell you that he will forgive you for the sins you have committed before, no matter how big or small, whether they are ridiculous or not. He said that young people will inevitably make mistakes, but if you know that you can change your mistakes, you can do a great deal, the palace will always be your home, and the wandering prodigal son, no matter how beautiful it is, will eventually return to the nest of the tired bird. Maybe it was too strict with you in the past, but the descendants of the royal family, and the future heirs to the throne, if you don't work hard, you will be surpassed at any time, and you can't even save your life. Now he is not the king of a country, and you are not a prince who has made a mistake, and he is willing to ask his son to return home with a forgiving heart. As a father, he has already given way, so as a son, can he also tolerate his father in the same way?"
Xuan Shuang's eyes moistened when he said this, and he said, "I have committed such a great sin, Emperor Amata...... Does he really forgive me? Not only him, but everyone else will also forgive me? The three of them are tigers, and they must be guarded against. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "The emperor only said that he believed in his own judgment, and any nonsense that fanned the flames could be ignored. If you don't go back, you'll really leave the opportunity to speak to the traitorous villain. As a man, mistakes should be taken care of and solved. Do you want the emperor to feel that his previous judgment of you was all wrong? How can a worthless deputy head of the Demon Sect be compared to the prince with infinite beauty? If he loves power, then he is the future monarch, and what is there to be dissatisfied?"
Xuan Shuang had indeed told him to move, not to mention that even if Shen Shiyun regarded him as a pawn, Shunzhi treated him very well, how could he bear to hurt his father's heart? Jiang Yanchen interjected: "It turns out that His Royal Highness King Cheng came here for this matter, so how can it be worth your personal trip? If you had sent a letter of worship earlier, maybe this seat would have been greeted by people." ”
Xuan Shuang bit her lip and said in a low voice: "But the mess of the Huashan faction has not been sorted out yet, how can I just let go?"
Shangguan Yaohua sneered: "That's not simple?" raised his voice and said: "Hey, Seven Demon Heads, did you hear Ling Beile's words clearly? As for Li Mengzhu and Nangong Girl, they are not allowed to harm their lives. Jiang Yanchen sneered: "What do you think you are worthy of commanding this seat?" Shangguan Yaohua said: "What?"
Jiang Yanchen's gaze swept towards the two, secretly thinking that he could torture them to this point, and finally relieved half of the fire. Nangong Xue and Li Yijie respect their teachers, and if Meng Anying dies today, it will be a big blow to the two of them. The purpose of this trip can be said to have achieved most of it. In the end, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, this seat is different for you after all." For the sake of your personal begging, I will give you this face. Let go of those two pieces of waste today, anyway, the future will be long, and one day, it will fall into my hands, and then I will not have such good luck. ”
Shangguan Yaohua said: "The affairs of other days have nothing to do with me. Beamlor, you can rest assured now, let's go. can protect him for a while, but he can't protect him for a lifetime, and it is meaningless to make a long-term promise. ”
Xuanshuang silently responded, followed a few steps, and was really about to turn around and leave. Jiang Yanchen was all about whether to let the two of them go, and he was undecided, but now it was really his turn, and he frowned: "Frost Ash, you left like this, do you really want to betray this seat?"
Xuanshuang stood still, but didn't look back, and said lightly: "I'm not Lingshuang Ash, I'm Aixinjue Luo Xuanshuang! Whether I betray or not, what's the difference to you? You are the overlord of the world who is alone, and I am only your embellishment at best, no matter how good I am, it is all to set off your brilliance." To put it mildly, I'm just a tool for your hegemony. Where do you want to stay, I have to move the stumbling stones for you first, and then kneel on the ground, and shout long live the mountain? I don't mind any of this, but do you really care about my life or death? Even if you don't deserve to be regarded as an apprentice, just as a humble life for you to use, even if it's a mosquito-like existence, do you care? What am I thinking in my heart, do you know? Since I was a child, I was a neglected child, lacking care and love, and I never dared to ask too much for the feelings of others' charity, which I thought was a gift to me, not a matter of course. If you ask me why I defend Li Mengzhu and them, yes, because they can treat me more seriously than themselves! In times of crisis, it was these two strangers who rescued me, and you, as the master, just watched from the sidelines and gloated! Do you know how I felt at that moment?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It hurts more than that sword really stabbing me!" If it were you, would you give up the victory for me? I'll answer for you, it's impossible, and not only that, but you'll also sneer at how stupid others are to kill me, a ruthless little brute, early in the morning. I've been with you for more than a year, and on the surface I'm the deputy leader of the Blood Demon Sect, and I'm glamorous in the open, but in fact I'm not much more noble than a dog you raised! Finally, someone values me, but you want me to watch you kill my life-saving benefactor? How can I stand idly by?"
