Immediately after the death of the master

What he really did—”

"It was an assassination."

Xu Yuque raised his head, his eyes were a little dark, and he reminded me:

"Don't forget, in the past five years, not only the Eight Kings have died, but the princelings have also lost many important officials for no apparent reason."

Under his reminder, I thought about it carefully, and it really happened, and I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.

Not long after the death of the master's master, the prince's master went to the hospital bed right after him. The prince's master had been lying on the hospital bed for so many years. How could it be such a coincidence that he followed the master's master to go.And the second master of the Gu family, just a few days after being brought under the command of the prince, fell into the pond and drowned while fishing...

Lin Linzongzong, as a member of the master's staff, I clearly know that our group of frontier fortresses absolutely did not interfere, so I just listened to it as a joke at the time.

Master, when did he hook up with Ji Qinghe, and secretly engage in so many big things.

the most important is.

I have no idea.

Now that things have happened, I can't help but wonder again, does the master really trust me as much as he shows?In the eyes of the master, what kind of person am I?Master, what kind of pawn does he regard me as?

If Ji Qinghe's intelligence-gathering ability is really so strong, then there is nowhere to hide my little tricks in the eyes of the master, why did the master let me go for so many years and let me climb to such a high position.

Anxiety lurks in my heart.

70,

With doubts and anxiety, I returned to the frontier.

It's not the same here as it was when I left.

When I left, it was a noisy and vibrant place. Although I was in the frontier, I could still see optimism and relaxation on the faces of the soldiers. There were also soldiers who came and went to communicate with me. Say hello, full of fireworks.

But now, the entire barracks is dead silent. Everyone who passes by me has a gray face and hurried steps. Out of despair.

I don't fit in with them in my cloth shirt, but I can understand them.

One is that in their eyes, the old prince died just like the patron saint, and the other is that even though they don't know anything about the political situation, with their sensitivity to war, they also vaguely feel the civil war that is about to break out.

The civil war is the cruelest of all battles.

Although both the process of foreign wars and civil wars are killing people, all fools know that the two are different.No matter how bad the foreign war is, it can take advantage of the good reputation of expelling the Tartars and protecting our country. After all, this word can be more reliable, the psychological burden of killing people can be less, and it can even bring a sense of honor. Moreover, Foreign wars are a one-shot deal. If I kill his father, there is no need to worry too much about his son coming to me for revenge.But internal wars are different. Those high-sounding good reasons are always not so smooth, and the precarious ones seem to collapse at any time. For a person with a little bit of sense of justice, it is inevitable to point a knife at the people around him. It's suffocating, not to mention, usually everyone can't see up and down, even if the war is over, everyone still has to see each other.If you killed someone's father during the war, maybe his son will recognize you, and even if he doesn't have time on the battlefield, he can still come to you after the war.

Therefore, civil war is the beginning of blood feud for generations and the source of countless misfortunes.

It will be branded in the hearts of one generation, or even several generations, and become an inescapable shadow.

71,

Walking past the heavy-looking soldiers, I was even more worried about the next battle.

However, although the atmosphere of the barracks has changed a lot, the layout inside the barracks has not changed much. My tent is still in place. After I walked for so many days, no one dismantled it. When I opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, The musty smell and dust came to the face, and it was obvious that no one had been here for so many days.

I coughed and looked around my tent.

Except for a thin layer of dust, nothing changed.

I sat next to the table, and there was a bundle on the table. It was the one I asked Ji Qingshuang to give to the boy before, but he returned it intact. There was a piece of paper under the bundle, and I took it out. A word was written on the rather large letter paper——

"roll".

The brushwork is messy, and the strength penetrates the back of the paper. The emotions hidden in it can almost break free from the shackles of the paper and turn into substance.

At a glance, I knew it was the handwriting of that little boy.

I smiled and pressed the paper down with my backhand.

Ji Qingshuang came to my tent at this moment, she never notified me before she came to my tent, it was the same as before.

She was not surprised when she saw me, as if she knew I would come back alive.

"Fu Jin is looking for you."

Ji Qingshuang stood at the door, dressed in silver armor, with a slender figure, without makeup, she was still amazingly beautiful, and she was still a beautiful touch of color on the battlefield.

"understood."

I know that the master must be looking for me for something.But I have been busy all the way, and I have just come back, and I have to be assigned a new task without even sitting on the stool, which is really a bit ruthless.

But so what, at least he is still my master in name.

Ji Qingshuang simply came to deliver a message, and did not mean to go with me, but when I passed by her, she quietly reminded me:

"The past two days, I have been hiding from some Fu Keji. After you left, that little guy was a little irritable. He often found fights with others, and even practiced with me every day... Anyway, be careful..."

I nodded with a wry smile.

It is already foreseeable that the next time they meet a little boy, what kind of chaos will happen.

72,

The master's military tent is in the northwest corner of the camp, some distance away from the densely packed military tents. I took a detour from the outside of the military camp because I was worried about meeting the irritable brats. It did take some time, but it definitely wasn't too long. At least it was still bright when we arrived at the master's camp.

But when I entered the master's tent, it seemed as if I stepped into the night in an instant.

The light from the outside, the sound from the outside, and the temperature from the outside are all blocked from this territory.This place is dark and cold, dead silent and empty. As far as the eye can see, there is a large piece of darkness, and in the darkness, there seems to be a biting malice ready to move.

In this frightening darkness, the only candle in this tent was burning faintly in front of the map of Yu Kingdom, but the light of this candle was also cold. Even more terrifying than Shadow.

Under great mental pressure, I walked forward slowly.

The master is standing in front of the map, his figure is vaguely outlined by the candlelight, the silhouette against the light is so beautiful, short and fit, with a graceful demeanor, it is obviously a peerless elegance, but it makes me feel awe-inspiring, as if in his banished Under the fairy-like appearance, there is actually a ferocious, roaring evil ghost, ready to tear his skin at any time.

"Little one, you're back."

My heart was shocked, and I couldn't help kneeling down.

"How's your body."

The master stood with his hands behind his back, still looking at the map that symbolized Dayu's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

"The little one is very good." Even if I went to jail because of the master, but the master rescued me again, I still have to offer my most sincere thanks, "The little one thanked the master for saving his life, and the little one would like to thank the master for saving my life." You'll die with your brains on the ground..."

"You don't need to thank me," the master interrupted me, "I didn't ask Ji Qinghe to save you, this time he acted on his own."

"..."

I didn't know how to answer, so I just knelt down like this.

"Do you know, Li Nianen?" The master's voice seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, a little ethereal, "Five days ago, my father and emperor finally did something to my emperor uncle. Before his death, my emperor entrusted his secret guards He gave me two words, and that hidden guard fought his way out of the encirclement regardless of his life, and finally told me those two words before he died...

"Hey, Li Nianen, do you know what those two words are?"

In the dead space, only the master's cold voice echoed.

"I don't know." I didn't dare to lift my head. Under the pressure of my master, my body had already started to tremble.

The master didn't pay attention to my embarrassed appearance, nor did he make things difficult for me, and he gave the answer himself.

"Be patient." The master said, "He asked me to bear it."

After announcing the answer, the master calmed down for a moment, and after a while, his body began to vibrate slightly.

"Ha...haha...hahaha..."

Tearing off the misty gauze, what hides underneath is the deep-seated despair, the deep-rooted hatred, the master laughs softly, the laughter is like a broken bellows, like torn paper, every laugh is mixed with Bloody hatred.

"Father——Father!"

He laughed crazily and couldn't stop at all. The laughter became louder and louder until finally, there was a hint of crying in the laughter.

"When you killed my brother, I ran away; when you killed my master, I ran away—"

His cries were silenced in an instant, and all exaggerated behavior disappeared in just a moment.In an instant he became calm, and in the midst of extreme calm he said:

"But this time, I, Fu Jin, will not run away."

It was the sound of jade stones being thrown to the ground, and the flying fragments of the jade ring cut a wound on the corner of my forehead. I glanced at it from the corner of my eye, and the priceless jade ring was the crowning gift given to my master by the old emperor. .

A broken jade is hard to reunite. After the jade ring, which symbolizes the love between father and son, was completely broken, after extremely calm and reasonable
