Bright Spring

At this time, the child had already pushed open a dilapidated wooden door, and Zhu Gaoxu rushed over in a big stride, calling out: "Little brother, stay a step!"

The little boy's head was shaved, and he was estimated to be only six or seven years old. When someone called him, he really stood at the door, looking at Zhu Gaoxu with a pair of innocent eyes.

"Little brother, who gave you this cloth bag, and what good things are in it?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile.

The boy hugged the cloth bag with both hands and said, "Who are you?"

Zhu Gaoxu kept a friendly smile: "I'm a friend of your father Zhang Yan, I'm here to pick you up."

"You're a liar!" The boy immediately raised his head and said, "Big sister said, the one who picks me up is a monk with a shaved head!"

Children are easy to be deceived, and the truth can be revealed in two sentences!Zhu Gaoxu said: "Then your father is Zhang Yan?"

The boy was stunned, a little confused, and after a while he said: "No, my surname is Ma!"

"It seems that I picked up the wrong baby." Zhu Gaoxu frowned.

The boy hurriedly said, "Who are you? Are you really my father's friend?"

At this moment, there were faint footsteps behind him.Zhu Gaoxu looked back suddenly, and saw Xu Miaojin standing in the yard!

Her face was pale, and there was fear in her eyes. Even the fur cloak was trembling slightly. I don't know if it was cold or scared?

"He's still a child, just let him go." Xu Miaojin said in a voice.The child in front said: "Big sister, he said he is my father's friend." Xu Miaojin responded coldly: "You go in first!"

Zhu Gaoxu's mood was also extremely complicated. He finally calmed down and asked, "Since Zhang Yan's son was rescued, he hasn't been sent away yet?"

Xu Miaojin said tremblingly: "At the beginning Zhang Yan received the urgent order, he was in a hurry, he didn't arrange it himself, and no one cared about his family... But anyway, he died for me, I can't just sit idly by!

It is said that in the past few months, there were spies from Yanwang Mansion at every intersection, and they were hunting for this child.Even people in the imperial court, very few people know who I am, and I couldn't find a suitable person for a while. "

She didn't quibble, and at this point, she was very frank.Zhu Gaoxu was speechless for a moment.

Xu Miaojin was silent for a while, and said again: "I should have walked the road of Huangquan long ago, King Gaoyang saved me once. Now I only ask you one thing, let me die peacefully..."

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly saw a few white snowflakes floating down from the sky.After a while, the snow fell more and more, and the whole world was silently enveloped in it.

"It's snowing." Zhu Gaoxu looked up.

There seemed to be a soft voice in his ear again: this journey is slow, but it passes fast.

Now the speaker is right in front of him, but it feels very far away.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Can you walk with me? Let's leave this monastery first."

Xu Miaojin glanced at him and nodded slightly. She turned around slowly, feeling a little unsteady on her feet.

Zhu Gaoxu sped up a few steps, walking alongside her for the first time.The two walked out of the courtyard door silently and walked down the stone steps.The snow fell harder and harder, and soon the top of the head and the shoulders were covered with snowflakes.

Zhu Gaoxu heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly he was full of steam.

Xu Miaojin's voice said: "Princess treats me very well, I really don't want to do such a thing of betraying others..." Her expression was cold and desolate.

"Yeah." Zhu Gaoxu made a sound and sighed, "That night you asked me who was the most used by me, and you said it was my parents. Are you forced by your father?"

"Yes..." Xu Miaojin's voice changed.When Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look, he saw that she had burst into tears silently.He fumbled in his sleeve pocket, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to her.

Xu Miaojin's voice was choked up, and she gradually began to sob, "When I was a child, I didn't know what suffering is... I stretched out my hands to eat and opened my mouth, and my appearance was also lovable. I have received all kinds of favors, so I don't have to worry about anything, my father is like a mountain. Gao, he has everything...but..."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say a word, on the surface he was calm and abnormal, but his heart was in a mess. He hated women crying, especially beautiful women. On the one hand, his heart seemed to be twisted; !

"During the time of Hongwu, once my father modified other people's memorials without permission and was sentenced to prison. Taizu was very strict with officials. All the officials were terrified when they heard about such things as skinning and stuffing. My father was also frightened." Xu Miaojin He murmured softly, "At that time, Jinshang was already the crown prince, and the crown prince rescued my father from prison. From that day on, my father swore to repay his kindness with death!"

She paused and then confided: "In my father's heart, loyalty to the emperor is the greatest, and my daughter can't compare it. If he wants to repay his favor, he has received the favor of the prince; I have also received the favor of my parents for many years, so I should repay the favor..."

No wonder she said that she was born in debt.This sentence does not seem to be wrong, at least I owe my parents a debt.How many people said emotionally: Parents' kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime.

Xu Miaojin cried: "I know I'm not filial, these are what I should do, I shouldn't resent my parents... People like me will go to hell after death, and the soul will be tortured in the frying pan to redeem the great rebellion on the body sins of..."

Zhu Gaoxu sighed again.The snow fell even more heavily, and the whole world seemed to be covered by white snow, and even the dirt discarded by pilgrims on the roadside seemed to be clean.

Chapter 86 The Evil Rebirth

Zhang Sanfeng should be more than 150 years old. Many people have said that they have seen him, but none of Zhang Sanfeng's life has stood the test.

Xu Miaojin is no exception, she has never met Zhang Sanfeng, her father made up her experiences and stories.Before Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, her experience had already been embellished by others; at that time, Jianwen and the people around him were already very afraid of King Yan's strength, and they had made many clever and unsmart preparations for cutting the feudal clan early on.

Xu Miaojin, as one of their pawns, is unknown as to whether he is smart or not, but it is indeed buried deep and the layout time is very early.In addition, her father cooperated secretly and pretended to be friends with King Yan when he was in Hongwu. It is really difficult for people to find out her identity.

Until the end of last year, when Xu Miaojin learned that Xu Kong's family members had been arrested, she felt that she was finally going to be dug out.Because Xukong was in charge of delivering the news about Beiping, and she was one of the very few people who knew her identity.

She was desperate and even more frightened!

Most of the time people are afraid of death, but at that time she really felt something more fearful than death, King Yan would never forgive those who lied to him!All the spies of the imperial court who were found out would be better off dead than alive!

Xu Miaojin is the spy most valued by the court center, but she can't bear the suffering of those tortures at all, and she doesn't want to be subjected to inhuman humiliation and abuse both physically and mentally.Rather than living and dying, it is better to seize the last chance and end it by yourself.

On the night of New Year's Eve, she saw Yao Guangxiao suddenly walk up to the gate of the palace, knowing that Yao Guangxiao had been in charge of the secret affairs of the Palace of Yan, she was really frightened!I was very scared at first, but at that time my heart was crushed by a straw, Xu Miaojin just wanted to escape with death.

... The gorgeous fireworks, lively festivals, and the joy of the world are still so nostalgic.

But behind the warm atmosphere is the severe winter!The water outside has completely frozen, so how bitterly cold must the water in the deep well be?

Staring at the dark and narrow mouth of the well, she firmly believed: the entrance to hell must be a well!

Cold, unfathomable, dead, humiliated, forgotten... She even expected that there would be hell and ghosts, even if it was scary, at least it would not be so silent and eternal.The unknown eternity is unbearable.

But who can believe that such a terrifying prospect is actually the best choice?

At this moment, a pair of powerful hands dragged her out of hell.It turned out to be Zhu Gaoxu, the son of King Yan.

At that time, she was in extreme fear, and her emotions had already collapsed. Although she said some confusing words, she managed to maintain it.

... At the coldest moment, Zhu Gaoxu's comforting words felt so warm.Xu Miaojin didn't dare to accept it on the surface, but it was because of those warm words in her heart that she survived for the time being.

Although she felt a little better at the beginning, the impression was not deep yet.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan assassinated Xu Kong that she suddenly felt reborn.She also didn't want to base her survival on sacrificing others, but she couldn't help but rejoice, rejoice with guilt!

Zhu Gaoxu was right: people are going to die sooner or later, so why should my aunt be so anxious?

His low-pitched words didn't move her all at once; instead, they gradually infiltrated her heart every night, feeling the coldness and fear.The warmth became deeper and clearer, and she silently chewed every word thousands of times.

You are like this, I will never let go...

Don't be impatient, little auntie, just wait a little longer and take a look, you will find that the world is big and beautiful, and there are many things worth cherishing.trust me once...

Xu Miaojin suddenly felt that the most inspiring and heart-warming words he had ever heard in his life had been listened to in one night.
