Jun You Ji Fou

The moon was shining brightly, and the ground was covered with frost and white, but the dungeon was still dark and damp, and not even a ray of light could penetrate it.

In the corner of the dark cell, there was something crawling, its breathing was weak, and it trembled occasionally, and it was barely recognizable as a human figure. Its long hair was messy and tangled around its body, covering its face.

The bluestone door was pushed open with a bang, and the light poured in overwhelmingly, causing him to tremble violently, and buried his head even deeper.It's just that the person who came didn't allow him to hide, so he knocked on the thick and round iron bars lightly and called his name:

"Losing."

He raised his head slowly, his face was pale and thin, no trace of his previous round face could be seen, his face was bony and protruding, as if he would cut off that thin layer of skin, he looked like a ghost but not a human.After murmuring in his throat for a long time, Luo Xin managed to utter two vague syllables, "...My lord."

Li Chenghua, the king of Xiling, looked down at him and asked, "Do you remember, where is the soldier talisman?"

"I won't... give it to you..." Luo Xin was dying, "...ask... how many times,... the same."

"You'll have to hand it in sooner or later." Li Chenghua continued to smile, "Chu Mingyun gave you that military book? I've read it, and his annotations are really good, and you're good at learning, too. It was really wonderful to break through that day. .”

Losing remained silent.

Li Chenghua sighed, and said in a tone like reminiscing with an old friend, "Your team stayed very well in the mountains. I really have no choice but to surround them so that you don't run away. But you should also know that this one Many months is almost the limit. Luoxin, summer is coming to an end, autumn leaves will fall, can it still be so hidden? Even if it can last, then winter is coming, the weather is very cold, let alone food and drink If everything is gone, you can only die on the mountain.”

"The four seasons change very quickly, just like life. Decades pass in the blink of an eye. Loyal ministers or traitors, who cares?" Li Chenghua looked at Luo Xin, "What do you think?"

"...No." The voice was almost inaudible.

"No wonder Su Shiyu has taken a fancy to you. He is as stubborn as him." Li Chenghua said with a smile, "But you are already a traitor in the eyes of others."

"You disappeared with the rebels, and the reinforcements from the imperial court disappeared. Everyone in Chang'an cursed you. Doctor Yushi and Taiwei came to Huainan in person to investigate and arrest you. Only you are still here Poor loyalty, who is loyalty to show?"

Luo Xin trembled, closed his eyes, and struggled to speak, "Master Su...has kindness to me...Master Chu, I... admire...I, the country...wouldn't..." He His body trembled like a convulsion, and his fingers scratched out bloodstains on the ground. He could only let out broken and suppressed groans, in unbearable pain.

Li Chenghua raised his hand, and someone opened the cell door, "It seems that the effect of the medicine has expired." He took out a porcelain bottle, pulled out the cork, and shook it slowly, "Do you want it?"

Luo Xin pounced forward, the iron chains rattled loudly, he was caught and fell back to the ground, he stretched out his hand as hard as he could, with an almost crazy expression, "I...Give it to me!...Give it to me quickly!"

"Where is the soldier talisman?" Li Chenghua asked in a deep voice.

The outstretched hand had bruised veins and was trembling uncontrollably. Luo Xin lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and shook his head stubbornly with the remaining wit, "You...you can't find it...forever...give it up... "

With a slight shaking of the wrist, the white powder in the porcelain bottle floated down finely, like frost forming in the mud and dust.

Luo Xin trembled more and more, his eyes stared at the layer of powder involuntarily, he could see it but couldn't reach it, his expression was so painful that he almost collapsed, and the sound in his throat was as shrill as a trapped animal whimpering.

Li Chenghua looked at the porcelain vase, "Haven't you understood the situation, Luo Xin, you can only obey me now." He persuaded patiently, "Your respected Master Su has burned all the poppies in Huainan, and now only I still have some left in my hand, if you leave me, you will always be like this, you will not be able to live."

There was no answer, Luo Xin lowered his head, opened his mouth and bit his arm firmly, blood overflowed and flowed all over his whole hand, making his current appearance extremely terrifying.

Li Chenghua looked at it for a while, then sighed and turned to leave, "Stop him for a few more days and see." He casually threw the bottle in front of him, and the white powder spilled all over the ground, and the heavy stone door closed again, leaving darkness.

Luo Xin pounced on it, grabbed the powder on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth desperately, regardless of the mud and dust mixed inside, and his own mouth full of thick blood.He picked up a handful and swallowed it whole. His throat felt like a sharp pain, and he repeated the action of eating without feeling anything. After a long time, his movements slowed down and finally came to a standstill.

Luo Xin sat there with his mouth covered for a long time, suddenly a little sparkle appeared in his eyes, and tears rolled down.

It was late at night, Li Chenghua rubbed his forehead wearily, walked through the corridor and pushed open the study door, only to see someone standing upright in the room, "Che'er?"

Li Che raised his head slowly, his voice hoarse, "Father."

Li Chenghua frowned, turned his head to signal his followers to back down, and then turned his gaze back to him, "Why did you run back, have you been drinking?"

"Father, where is Jingshu?" Li Che said, "I want to see her."

Li Chenghua's expression was unnatural for a moment, and then he covered it up, "Children love each other, it's time for me to let you meet naturally. What are you looking like now, the injury is just right, and you just drank so much wine..."

"Jing Shu is dead, isn't she?" Li Che whispered, "She's already dead."

Li Chenghua was silent. After pacing back and forth, he sat back on his seat and said, "Yes."

"...Why?" His voice trembled slightly, and Li Che raised his eyes to look directly at him, "You promised me that you would never hurt her no matter what!"

"Che'er, what do you mean?" Li Chenghua's expression changed.

"Why did you even kill her? I know that my father is cruel and never cares about the means, but I thought you would at least keep your promise to me..."

"What are you talking about?" Li Chenghua was slightly annoyed, "When did I kill her? I never gave that kind of order."

"Then why did you hide the news of Jingshu's death?" Li Che looked at him.

"I..." He was tongue-tied, and turned completely annoyed, "Okay, okay, so what if I killed you, you ran back to question me just because of such a woman? Question your father? "

Li Che's figure trembled, his eyes were lowered and he was silent for a long time, "Where's Jingshu's bones?"

"There are no bones, who knows where he died. It's just a woman. If you want, I can give you dozens or even hundreds. Cheer, this is not something you should care about. You can still ruin your career for her." No?"

Li Che looked at him and remained silent.Li Chenghua's heart trembled suddenly, he got up and walked in front of him, "Che'er, you have to know what we have worked so hard for, and we are all of the same family with the surname Li, so why do we have to be inferior to others? Over the years, I have worked hard Planning this, how much money and energy was spent, how much effort was spent to curry favor with Huainan King to die to pave the way for us, and how much painstaking effort was spent to go to that ghostly place of the Huns to reason with the barbarians, you know, how long I worked hard It’s hard to come to this situation today.”

"Father……"

"Che'er, father is already old. You are my son. When our great achievements are completed, all of this, this country, will be yours. You are much better than that trash Li Yanzhen!" Li Chenghua said eagerly.

However, Li Che took a deep breath, and said softly with some sobs, "I know that I always let my father down, but no matter how hard I try, I still don't have my father's mind and ambition. I don't want Jiangshan, I just want Jingshu .”

The teacup was thrown on the ground with a 'snap', and Li Chenghua couldn't help trembling with anger, "Li Che!" He pointed at Li Che, "I don't care what you think, just remember, that woman is dead , die cleanly, put away your useless appearance for me. From now on, I don't want to hear you mention that woman again!" He walked away and slammed the door heavily.

In the silence of the room, Li Che moved his fingertips and touched a slender and smooth object in his sleeve, which was dyed with his body temperature, and seemed to be dyed with a faint scent of powder.He didn't need to look, he knew it was a tube.

The Sri Lankan people have gone, but the things left behind are still there.

That day when Li Che took over the tube, he only looked at her and smiled, knowingly asking, "Why did you give me this?"

Jing Shu pursed her lips, just smiled and didn't answer.

"Did you read that poem? Do you know what that poem means?" He asked again.

Jing Shu lowered her head, her face was flushed, she still didn't speak but smiled deeply.Li Che also laughed and stopped asking.

The quiet girl is her sister, waiting for me in the corner of the city.Love but don't see, scratch your head and linger.

The quiet girl swears, and I am inconvenienced.Tong Guan Youwei, talking about the beauty of women.

Self-herd and return to me, beautiful and different.The gangster is beauty, and the beauty is the perspiration.

It's lovesickness.

Li Che slowly slumped to the ground, covered his face, suppressed and finally burst into tears.
