Half life, for Jue

In the past year, Binzhou land invasion case, Orchid garden corpse case, brothel murder case, Xingbu's replacement of death row prisoners, plus the bombing of the private cannon house, and the southern Chu mission to Beijing to marry Daliang.It was one thing after another, never ending.

And Jingyan went to Qilin to have a chat, and then went to the Xishan camp to change his defense, but this time Bai Bi didn't go.He took the candle, walked alone through the most secret passage in the whole capital, and knocked on the door of Qilin talent Jiangzuo Meilang.

"Mr. Bai?" Mei Changsu opened the door, was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile, "I wondered that His Highness should have already left the capital, so why did he suddenly turn around?"

He led Bai Bi in: "Please. What can you do, sir?"

Bai Bi sat down, "I, taking advantage of Jingyan's absence, I want to ask you something in person. Don't talk about Mr. Jingyan. Jingyan always said that if you were here, we would be inseparable. Just call me Bai Bi." , Brother Su."

Mei Changsu made tea for him, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "I thought you would ask."

Bai Bi took it and took a sip: "I've spent half my life on this matter, and I have to figure it out."

"Actually, your research has been very detailed, and you have already found out many things..."

"But what I want to ask is what happened on Meiling that day? Carefully, all the facts are true, not my own guesses. His Royal Highness King Qi and everything after that happened because of this, I must Know."

Mei Changsu looked far away, Bai Bi couldn't bear to look straight at the sight in his eyes, his tone was calm, and he said the most painful thing in his life with the most calm posture, which almost made the listeners shudder.

"Back then Meiling..."

......

"Meiling has been reduced to hell, burned into a piece of scorched earth, and there are scorched corpses everywhere, beyond recognition."

With trembling fingertips, Bai Bi stood up and walked towards the secret path without saying a word.Mei Changsu followed, and supported Bai Bi whose legs gave way and fell to his knees.

Bai Bi's complexion was pale, and his hoarse voice seemed to be tearing apart: "Have I ever told you that Bai Bi's most important thing in his life is to protect his family and defend the country. All he wants is to join Chi Yan's sect and show off his ambitions. .I'll walk alone, it's fine."

He pushed open the secret door as he spoke, and turned his head just as he took a step, "The truth is too tragic, even I am like this, Jingyan's feelings for Chi Yanjun are beyond my comparison, if he really wants to know by then, Let’s come slowly.”

When Jingyan returns from the Xishan camp, Bai Bi can already act as if nothing happened to him.But at night, Bai Bi is leaning against Jingyan, just like the previous days when he was physically exhausted but refused to fall asleep.

"What's wrong? Still can't sleep?" Jingyan's voice rang in his ears, it was deep and sweet and familiar, but Bai Bi jumped in surprise.

"I'm thinking about something." Bai Bi said.

Jingyan already understood, "You can't tell me? Then forget it."

"It's not that you can't say it at all." Bai Bi sighed, thought for a while, and said: "You listen to as much as I say, and don't think too much after I finish speaking, okay?"

"What you can't say is that you have always refused to say a word. Are you afraid that I will think more after hearing a few words?"

Bai Bi was silent, and Xiao Jingyan didn't think he would answer properly. He didn't want Bai Bi to murmur softly: "I'm afraid, but I don't want you to know everything all of a sudden, and make yourself suffer."

Xiao Jingyan was taken aback, and Bai Bi gently put his hand on Xiao Jingyan's palm, "I went to find that unicorn while you were away, and I told him that although you participated in the seizure of the heir, there is still one thing in your life that is far away. He did not answer whether I would help or not, but I told me that he was already preparing to deal with Xie Yu. He was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Chi Yan case back then. , maybe you can know more things." After he finished speaking, he smiled wryly: "As expected, I still didn't tell you anything."

"You are kind, I know." When Xiao Jingyan suddenly heard that the matter was related to Chi Yan, his mood fluctuated and he calmed down for a long time. "I have been waiting for 13 years, and I can afford to wait a little longer."

"That's good. Jingyan, I think you might as well talk to Mr. Su about Chi Yan, maybe after Xie Yu. At that time, Mr. Su might also be very emotional, so he may agree. You have to think about it." To do such a big thing after winning the position, with his help, it will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Ah."

......

Not long after Bai Bi and Xiao Jingyan got to know each other, the opportunity to hear the truth came.

"Li Zhongxin... is indeed just a teacher, but he has a strange talent, that is, he can imitate any character he has read, without any flaws, and no one can tell the authenticity. Thirteen years ago...he Wrote a letter, and it was Nie Feng's handwriting..." This is Xie Yu, the Xie Yu who fell into the prison.

"Who is Nie Feng?" Mei Changsu asked intentionally.He sat casually on the ground of the dungeon, asking as if he didn't care.Even in the dense sky prison, he is as comfortable as usual.

"He was the forward general of the Chiyan Army at that time, and Xia Dong's husband-in-law, so Xia Jiang had many opportunities to get the drafts he wrote, cut out some needed words and showed them to Li Zhongxin, so that he could write Send out a letter that is so seamless that even Xia Dong can't tell it apart..."

"What was written in the letter?"

"It was a distress letter, which said, 'The commander has a heart of treason, I will investigate, and in order to silence him, drive me to death, I hope for help.'"

"I seem to know about this. It turns out that this letter is a fake." Mei Changsu sneered, "So... you rushed thousands of miles to rescue Nie Feng, but in the end you could only bring back his bones because you were too late. Is it fake too?"

Xie Yu remained silent.

"According to the legendary story I heard, it was General Xie, who traveled a long distance to save your colleagues. When you arrived at the Valley of Absolute Souls where Nie Feng was, there were reports that there were no survivors in the valley. So you made a decisive decision, felled trees and set fire to seal the entrance of the valley, which prevented the barbarians from advancing and protected our Daliang's left-wing line of defense. This story really makes everyone who hears it awe-inspiring." Mei Changsu sneered, "If you think about it today, What you sealed was actually Nie Feng's escape route, so that this forward general who was not at the end of the day fell to his death because of you, causing the final disaster. Am I right?"

Xie Yu's lips were pursed into a straight line, but he still didn't answer his words.

"Forget it, these are all past events, and it's useless to investigate." Mei Changsu fixed his eyes and said coldly, "What's next?"

"At that time, only Xia Jiang and I knew that the letter was a fake. He had his purpose, and I had mine. We didn't say anything, but it was tacit understanding. Because he didn't want his disciples to notice the difference, he didn't Using the power of the Xuanjing Division, I only hinted at me, and I killed Li Zhongxin's family for him." Xie Yu's words were flat, as if he had no regrets about the matter, "The whole thing is like this. It is different from the current party struggle. It doesn't matter, are you satisfied?"

"It turns out that the foundation of the pillars of the imperial court was laid like this." Mei Changsu nodded, clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, and his face was still calm.What Xie Yu said was of course only the tip of the iceberg of what was going on back then, but forcing too much would not be beneficial.But these things for the people in the dark room next door are already too heavy to bear.

"You have a rest. Xia Jiang won't know that I came to see you today, and His Royal Highness Yu Wang is not interested in the past. I will fulfill my promise and prevent you from dying, but if you can't survive the hard labor of exile, I will Don't care." After Mei Changsu finished the last sentence calmly, he stopped looking at Xie Yu, turned around and left the cell.Fei Liu hastily dropped the straw he was weaving and playing with, and followed behind him.

On the way back to the stone staircase leading to the ground floor, Mei Changsu glanced intentionally or unintentionally into the dark room next to Xie Yu, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he quickly disappeared at the exit of the stone staircase.

After he left for a while, the door of the black room was pushed open silently, and two people came out one after the other, walking very slowly, and their steps were slightly unsteady.Bai Bi came out last, he knew far more than they knew, and he was the calmest.

The man in front of him was slender, dressed in black and black skirt, with two strands of silver in his black hair that stood out at first glance, and there was no trace of blood on his handsome face, it was as pale as a piece of paper, just a small stone on the dark corridor , so that she almost fell down, but fortunately she was supported by the person behind.

When they left the dark room, they didn't exchange a single word. Even the support just now was just pulled and then retracted immediately, without a sound.They also walked slowly to the first floor along the stone ladder that Mei Changsu walked just now. The only difference is that the person who was waiting outside the door to lead them out was not the one who had promoted Anrui, but the official secretary of the Ministry of Punishments. Cai Quan.

"Master Cai, please."

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing, you are welcome."

Only these two sentences were spoken, and there was no more politeness after that.A group of people left the dungeon from the secret place of the back door.

"I'm sorry." Xia Dong had tears in his eyes.

"Xiao Shu won't blame you." Xiao Jingyan said in a low voice.

Xia Dong ran away quickly without looking back, without moving his lips.Behind her, Prince Jing silently stared at her lonely retreating figure, but a scorching flame secretly ignited in his eyes.

Bai Bi wanted to say something, but finally just patted Jingyan on the shoulder.Accompany him silently.

Xiao Jingyan went to the palace alone.Bai Bi walked back alone without a word.

In the evening, after Xiao Jingyan returned to Prince Jing's mansion, he said to Baibi, "There are still many things that you cannot tell me. But in the future, I will hear and see with my own ears, right?"

"Yes."

"That's good. I think, let's go to Su's residence."

"Let's go after dinner."

"it is good."

......

Bai Bi watched Xiao Jingyan's slender figure disappear into the dark passage.The figure stood stubbornly.Bai Bi didn't follow him, he thought that this night should be for the two of them to have a good talk.

And Bai Bi is willing to always be behind Xiao Jingyan.
