Chapter 30: Falling off the Cliff
The soldiers listened to the order and quickly touched the pillars, stone slabs, and stone seats of the Mochizuki Pavilion, trying to find mechanisms and the like.
For about half an hour, dozens of soldiers searched almost all the places that Mochizuki Pavilion could touch and touched a dozen times, but still did not find the slightest suspicious place. If it weren't for Zhao Yi's order not to destroy, some people might have demolished this pavilion to find the traitor.
The anxious color in Zhao Yi's eyes became stronger and stronger, and he thought to himself: "If you don't hurry up and find this little thief to get back the dragon head talisman, after the 100,000 army attacks the imperial city, Li Xun and I will inevitably have no bones." Could it be that this little thief fell into the abyss in front of him? No, he wanted to see people alive and corpses when he died. If he hadn't died, he would probably still be here. Since you can't find a place for him to hide, find a way to lure him out. ”
Zhao Yi beckoned a general to come over and whispered something in his ear.
That will understand.
Zhao Yi suddenly said loudly: "Most of this traitor has fallen into this abyss and is shattered. Let's go, let's go and arrest that old thief and put Ling Chi to death!"
The general said: "Prince Yi, no! No matter what he says, he is also your father, you must not lose the reputation of unfilial piety because of this, even if you can win the world at your fingertips, the world will not obey you!"
Zhao Yi said angrily: "Dog minion! You dare to teach me a lesson, you are impatient! Come on, call me!"
Zhao Yu was in the secret room under the Moon Pavilion, and he could hear the conversation of everyone above clearly. Hearing that Zhao Yi's heart was so ruthless, he couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly thought that the person who persuaded him might be a loyal minister under his father. This man is really a character, and he can say such loyal words, and I can't help but worry about his comfort.
Bang bang bang ahhhhhh
Listening to the voice, it seemed that everyone was beating someone who was trying to persuade Zhao Yi.
The screams were unusually piercing.
About a cup of tea later, I heard another person: "Prince Yi, this little old man has passed out without beating, and there is still one breath left, how to deal with him when he waits for the prince to fall?"
Zhao Yi said: "This person is innocent of death, and he dares to insult this prince and throw him into this abyss!"
There was a bang, as if something had been thrown into the abyss.
Zhao Yu listened carefully in the secret room at this time, and broke out in a cold sweat for Zhao Yi's ruthlessness. Suddenly, I heard Zhao Yi say again: "Since the thief is not here, let's look elsewhere!" Then I heard the footsteps of a group of people when they left, the footsteps went from near to far, and finally there was no sound, as if Zhao Yi had led someone to search elsewhere.
After a long time, there was still no sound outside, and Zhao Yu was sure that those people had really left. He pondered: "I didn't expect Zhao Yi to be so ruthless, that person just contradicted him, and he was thrown off the cliff alive." If his father falls into his hands, there is still the slightest way to live. Although he is not my biological father, he has treated me like his own son for more than ten years, and even if I die, I will save him!"
After making up his mind, he quietly came out of the secret room, stood next to the Moon Pavilion, looked at the abyss, and found that there was no end under the cliff.
He thought to himself, "That man has been thrown down from here, and there is still a way to live!" he sighed, and turned back to save his father. After just a few steps, he stayed in place, Zhao Yi led dozens of soldiers who were staring at him with a smile in the distance, and he suddenly froze in place.
A general flattered Zhao Yi and said: "Prince Yi's bitter plan is really wonderful!"
When Zhao Yu heard the general's voice, he immediately understood. This general is the one who persuaded Zhao Yi just now, and was thrown off the cliff by Zhao Yi. It turned out that this was all Zhao Yi's trick, but he didn't expect him to be so scheming at a young age.
Zhao Yi led the soldiers to approach step by step, and Zhao Yu retreated step by step, until there was no way to retreat, and he retreated to the edge of the cliff.
Zhao Yi sneered: "I didn't expect you to have today, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Zhao Yu said: "I didn't expect you to hate me so much." Even if you want to inherit the unification, you don't need to raise an army to rebel and frame your father and the king! I have no intention of the emperor's business, and sooner or later the country will be yours!"
Zhao Yi sneered: "Ahh But he treasures the wild seed you have brought with him. For more than ten years, he has treated me and you! I have hated you since I became sensible, and what you have should have been mine. As long as it is something you have, I want to grab it, haha, when you die, I will marry Li Lu, and you can go on the road with peace of mind!"
Zhao Yu said: "I see, no wonder some of the things I liked before were inexplicably destroyed, but Lulu is innocent, is she too?"
Zhao Yi said: "Yes, as long as you like something, I will grab it whether I like it or not, and if I can't grab it, I will destroy it, including her." ”
"I didn't expect your heart to be so vicious, I have always regarded you as a brother!" Zhao Yu said hatefully.
Zhao Yi said: "Traitor, you can't escape today no matter what." Hand over the dragon head talisman, and I can leave you a whole corpse!"
Zhao Yu took out the dragon head talisman from his arms, held it in his right hand and said: "Ahh When the time comes, you will all be unable to escape death, and I won't give it to a villain like you when I die, you still have this heart!"
Zhao Yi saw that his heart was broken, and said angrily: "Come on, rob me!"
Zhao Yu took a small step back slightly, holding the dragon head talisman in his right hand and said, "Retreat!"
All the soldiers were suddenly frightened, and they did not advance or retreat one by one.
Zhao Yi sneered and said, "You throw it away, as long as you throw away this talisman, I will let you go to Hades immediately!"
Zhao Yu sneered, with a strong sense of contempt on his face.
Zhao Yi continued: "Without the talisman, after the city is broken, even if I die, having Li Lu as my companion on the road to Huangquan is better than you being a lonely ghost!"
Zhao Yu's eyes froze, and he naturally heard the meaning of Zhao Yi's words. He sighed and thought to himself, "I can't protect myself at the moment, I still think about her." If it weren't for her father's rebellion, my father and I wouldn't have fallen into such a field, but her father's rebellion has nothing to do with her, and she treats me well!"
Zhao Yi saw that Zhao Yu's eyes were distracted, and when he saw that he was thinking about things, he sneered on the side.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu retracted his mind and said lightly: "Although you hate me, I hate you very much at the moment." After all, the two of us used to be brothers, and I beg you for one thing. ”
Zhao Yiqi said: "What?"
Zhao Yu said: "Spare my father's life." Although he has treated you badly in the past ten years, he is not too bad, he is your father, I want you to demote him as a commoner and let him spend the rest of his life in peace. ”
Zhao Yi said: "I can grant you this request! It's a pity that when the city is broken, I can't protect myself, I will try my best to save his life!"
Zhao Yu sneered, threw the dragon head talisman to Zhao Yi and said, "Hmph! Take it! If you dare to deceive me, I won't let you go!"
Zhao Yi was overjoyed, he didn't expect to be so easy to deceive this talisman, as soon as the talisman arrived, who else in this Qingyang Kingdom could control him. As soon as he got his talisman, he laughed and said, "I really want to keep my promise, but unfortunately before this, the emperor was killed by me by stabbing him in the chest with a sword, and now he is on the road to the Yellow Springs." I'll give you a ride now, you can still be with him on the Huangquan Road, and then you can fulfill your filial piety, haha!"
Zhao Yi waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers quickly surrounded Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was extremely distressed, he didn't expect his father to go by himself, he looked at the soldiers who surrounded him, and said lightly: "Slow, I'll do it myself, I'd rather commit suicide than have my body soiled by your hands!"
Zhao Yi sneered: "Listen to it!"
Zhao Yu's eyes were distracted. At this moment, he was disheartened and desperate, he looked at the cliff behind him lightly, and said silently in his heart: "Father, although you are not my biological father. But for more than ten years, you have treated me like a father, and after all, the child has hurt you. I'll go with you!"
He stood faintly on the edge of the cliff, thinking back on the experience of so many years, feeling so lonely at the moment, and suddenly laughed.
Zhao Yi and the others who were watching didn't know why, Zhao Yu couldn't stop laughing, and suddenly jumped into the abyss behind him.
Zhao Yi and the others came back to their senses after a while, and he hurriedly led people to look down on the edge of the cliff. I couldn't see anything below, which showed how deep the cliff was. He was overjoyed that he had finally eliminated this great enemy. He suddenly thought of something, and quickly took the dragon head talisman and ran into the imperial city.
After seeing Li Xun, he hurriedly mentioned Zhao Yu's matter, and rushed outside the imperial city with a talisman to stop the silver armor army from attacking the city.
He found that the soldiers outside, both the ironclad army and the silver-armored army, were wounded.
Although the Silver Armor Army has lost a lot of people, it has been reorganized.
Zhao Yi held the dragon head soldier talisman and mobilized the soldiers, who knew that just after the transfer of troops, he met Wuben and Gongye Shuo, out of helplessness, he had to tell Zhao Yu about his death.
Wuben and Gongyeshuo hurried to the Moon Pavilion in the back mountain. At this time, the Moon Pavilion was empty, and the two of them searched nearby for a while, but they didn't see Zhao Yu's figure. After searching for an hour, there was still no result, so I believed Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Yu might really be killed. The two stood silently on the edge of the cliff.
Gong Yeshuo saw that there was an unbearable look on his master's face, and said softly: "Master, it is better to let the disciple control the magic weapon and go down to investigate to see if he can find some of the whereabouts of the little benefactor." ”
Wuben nodded his head and said with concern: "Your injury is not in the way, right? Do your best, don't force it, everything is fate." ”。
Gong Yeshuo nodded, picked up the Sanskrit pen, and flew towards the bottom of the cliff.
After a while, he flew back again, and there was an extra strip of cloth in his hand, like on top of his clothes. He sighed and said to Wuben: "Master, the apprentice has already explored just now, the cliff below is bottomless, I have not recovered from my serious injuries, and I can't fly for too long to control the magic weapon, and I only flew halfway up the mountain." But on a tree halfway up the mountain, I saw the strip of cloth on this garment. This strip of cloth looks like the one on the little benefactor's clothes!"
Wuben sighed lightly, and silently read a few mantras of bliss for Zhao Yu on the edge of the cliff, hoping that he would be able to go to Elysium after death and spend reincarnation as soon as possible.
Gong Yeshuo stood silently aside, and after Wu Ben finished doing the simple ritual for Zhao Yu, it was an hour later. After the two of them went back and forth to the palace, they found that subtle changes had taken place in the palace, and Li Shuo and Zhao Yi were busy cleaning the palace.
Wu Ben and the others were masters of the Tao, although they knew that Zhao Yu's death was inseparable from Li Xun and them, but naturally they couldn't embarrass them, so they directly controlled the magic weapon and left the palace.
After leaving the imperial city, Wu Ben took Gongye Shuo to Lingyun Temple. He introduced the origin of the little monk Xinzen to Gongye Shuo.
After staying in Lingyun Temple for a few days, Wu Ben simply packed up his salute and left Qingyang Kingdom with Gongye Shuo and Xinzen.
Lingyun Temple became an empty temple for a while.
The temple is still the original temple, but the people in the temple are gone.
