Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

Even though he already knew it, after hearing his answer, Qin Yili was still inevitably angry in his heart.

He didn't know what he looked like when he was angry.

However, Xu Linghe, whose sight was clearly blurred, somehow managed to see his face clearly. Perhaps it was because of his cold aura, or perhaps because of his return to the light.

Just like when we first met.

He was still untouched by the mortal world, and his face, which was rare in the world, now had a slight scowl on his eyebrows. Xu Linghe subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to smooth the wrinkles between his eyebrows.

only……

How could he get it when he was old and weak.

Qin Yili didn't know that he was angry, but at this moment he didn't really want to deal with Xu Linghe, but...

Looking at the person with increasingly dim eyes, he finally held his hand.

The dry and thin body made him clearly realize that his child was old. Maybe he just turned around and the child was no longer in this world when he came back.

Such thoughts made Qin Yili feel panic in his heart.

He didn't know how to relieve this feeling.

"Child."

"..."

The lack of response made him increasingly panicked.

Qin Yili wanted to take out his hand and cut Xu Linghe's blood, but he stopped him.

"……No."

Xu Linghe stopped him weakly, his old eyes looking at him without any change: "Ali, can you sit with me for a while? Under the sycamore banyan tree."

"Ah."

The white-haired young man who had never hugged anyone stiffly hugged the dying Xu Linghe under the tree.

Over the years, this tree has grown more and more lush, and the rustling sound of the leaves when the wind blows seems to be whispering.

Xu Linghe rested his head on his shoulder and raised his hand to catch a fallen leaf. The smile on his lips was gentle and understanding: "Ali, where will you go after you leave Jiangling?"

"……do not know."

He drifted with the flow and never cared about where he would go over the years. Even if he wanted to leave Jiangling, he never thought about what he would do after leaving.

"I want to see places other than Jiangling. I heard that there are endless blue seas in the north and endless white snow in the east. Ahem..." Xu Linghe coughed lightly when he mentioned the excitement.

Qin Yili hugged his shoulders and tightened slightly: "I'll take you there."

He repeated in a deep voice: "I will take you there."

"Alive."

"You have to live."

Xu Linghe sighed softly. He raised his hand to touch Qin Yili's face, but looking at his wrinkled hand, he only touched his eyebrow lightly.

Qin Yili held his arm stubbornly and let her fingertips fall on his face.

Xu Linghe was like an old man indulging a child's willfulness, his voice was coaxing: "Can you go watch it for me?"

He didn't answer.

"..."

Xu Linghe took out the dagger from his sleeve and put it on Qin Yili's hand.

"kill me."

"..."

He took off the sheath on it, and the faces of the two people were reflected on the cold dagger.

Xu Linghe struggled to sit up from Qin Yili's arms.

He slowly raised his arm and pointed the tip of the dagger at his heart.

You can vaguely see the relaxed and comfortable look on his youthful face.

"As long as you kill me, the restrictions imposed on you will be completely lifted."

"Ali, you are free."

Qin Yili: "..."

From the old monk's instructions and Xu Muqing's words, he understood what the child wanted to do.

He had seen the child staying up late at night for the sake of the people of Jiangling. He knew that the child chose this method because he did not want to implicate other people. He knew all this.

and so……

and so……

He doesn't have to leave Jiangling.

that's it.

He will absorb the resentment between heaven and earth to replenish the lost power. When the time is right, he will be able to break away from the restriction and leave Jiangling. At that time, he can take his children to see what he wants to see.

but……

The child doesn't want to.

Knowing that letting the child see his eyes would put a burden on his body, Qin Yili opened his eyes regardless.

He wanted to see clearly the child's thoughts with his eyes.

Even though Qi and blood were surging, Xu Linghe still hid very well. He let the tip of the dagger slowly push into his body.

Just stab it in hard again.

His A-li can travel in this world without any restraint.

The pushed dagger was immobilized.

"Are you going to abandon me?"

The white-haired young man who knew nothing about love actually understood this feeling at this moment.

Xu Linghe looked at Qin Yili who said this in surprise, then he shook his head lightly: "No, I will not abandon you."

It's just that he chose to give up on himself.

"A Li, just like before, as long as you insert the dagger into my body, your strength will be restored." Seeing that he refused to let go of the dagger, Xu Linghe couldn't help but feel anxious in his tone.

The bloodline of the Gangneung royal family only ends with him.

If he cannot die in A Li's hands, unless all the people in Jiangling are killed, there will be no chance of his restriction being released.

and……

There was a note in the secret volume he found that if his restraint could not be released, he would be implicated and his soul would be destroyed when Jiangling ceased to exist.

His Ali was forced to stay in Jiangling, so how could he be allowed to live and die with Jiangling.

Thinking of this, Xu Linghe said with heart: "Qin Yili! It's me who doesn't want to live anymore! It's me who wants the people of Jiangling not to be disturbed by you! It's me who voluntarily sacrificed for them! Don't you know what your existence will do to you? Are you bringing trouble to the people of Jiangling? As the emperor of Jiangling alone, I will never allow you to stay in Jiangling any longer!"

When Xu Linghe said this, his heart felt as if it had been dug away.

But he still said without hesitation: "Kill me!!"

"..."

Qin Yili's eyes looked straight at him, with hurricane-like emotions in his double-pupiled eyes: "What is this?"

"..."

Xu Linghe's fingertips trembled slightly.

Crystal tears fell from his eyes, but Qin Yili caught them expressionlessly: "Tears? I've seen them before, why do I have them?"

"..."

Xu Linghe's lips trembled and he couldn't even speak.

At this moment, he felt endless regret in his heart.

He shouldn't.

You shouldn't drag him into the mortal world because of your own delusions, and you shouldn't let him be tainted by his thoughts about the world.

Obviously...

He should roam the world without restraint and not be moved by the feelings or things of the world.

It's his fault.

Only he can correct this mistake.

Xu Linghe wiped away the hot tears from the corner of his eyes with trembling arms, and said with a hint of sobs in his voice: "Ali, kill me... I have never asked you for anything, this time you should fulfill my wish. ,kill me……"

His voice was gentle.

So gentle that Qin Yili couldn't tell what he was talking about.

He stared blankly at the dagger being pushed into the child's body...
