Immediately after the death of the master

The wailing of the condemned prisoner came from the depths, Xu Yuque frowned, and seemed not to adapt to the surrounding environment.I quietly winked at the jailer leading the way, telling him to speed up his pace.

Prime Minister Ji’s cell is in the deepest part of the prison. To get there, we need to go through three turns. At the second turn, we met a person who shouldn’t be here——

Ji Qinghe.

Holding a blood-stained confession in his hand, Ji Qinghe walked out of an open cell.He was in a good mood, humming an unknown opera.

I wanted Xu Yuque to hide immediately, but it was too late.

Ji Qinghe narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and shrugged indifferently:

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything."

I shielded Xu Yuque behind me, frowned and asked him:

"Why are you here?"

"I can't help it. The guys in the Ministry of Criminal Justice are all trash, and they can't get anything out of the trial. At this time, we need a little help from us."

As he spoke, he stroked the whip hanging from his waist. The whip was made of fine steel, with barbs all over the barbs, and flesh and blood stains hung on the barbs.

I averted my eyes in disgust, no longer willing to speak to him.Xu Yuque behind me curiously led the guard: "Who is locked in that cell?"

"It's Cao Shilang." The jailer replied truthfully.

"Cao... waiter?"

Xu Yuque repeated it stupidly, and then reacted violently. He pushed me away and rushed directly into the cell.

Cao Shilang had a long entanglement with Xu Yuque.

Cao Shilang, who firmly followed the old prime minister, devoted his whole life to confronting Xu Yuque. During his reign, he impeached Xu Yuque every now and then. He is a poor and clean official with no stains except being too pedantic.Xu Yuque really couldn't move him, and in the end he became a Buddha. You can scold him, I just have a thick skin.

The two were rivals in court, but Xu Yuque in private had no malice towards Cao Shilang.After getting drunk one time, Xu Yuque commented on Cao Shilang in this way, that being strong is easy to break, he is too resolute and doesn't know how to adapt, offending countless people in the court, and only the old prime minister can protect this dead-headed man.At the end of the banquet, Xu Yuque admitted somewhat gloomily that he was actually envious of Cao Shilang. Cao Shilang met his mentor, Prime Minister Ji, and was able to maintain his innocence and arrogance without making any involuntary changes.Unlike him, who became famous at a young age but was not allowed to be an official. He had been fighting in the business world for many years, and got the opportunity to be an official after being deeply involved in power and money transactions with hands full of stains.

Xu Yuque was jealous and hated the servant, but he never thought of killing Cao Shilang. On the contrary, Xu Yuque believed that the more officials like the servant, the better, the more it shows the political clarity of Yu State, There is a group of capable parents and officials.

Xu Yuque's most vicious curse on Cao Shilang was just to send him to a place, so that he could not see and feel at peace, but he did not expect that Cao Shilang would leave the stage in such a ridiculous way.

No wonder Xu Yuque reacted so strongly.

After a while, Xu Yuque staggered out of the cell, holding on to the wall with a dazed expression, and vomited out.

Seeing his appearance, the jailer whispered in my ear and explained:

"Those who are handled by the Fourth Young Master will not survive."

Ji Qinghe glanced at the talkative jailer with a half-smile, his bright red lips looked even more bewitching in the dark prison, the jailer lowered his head and stopped talking.

I took Xu Yuque to barely stabilize his mood, so I took him to see the old prime minister.

Seeing this, Xu Yuque, who had barely suppressed himself, completely collapsed. He lost all his strength and knelt down straight in front of Prime Minister Ji Lao.

"Are there any guests?"

Hearing the sound from the outside world, the old prime minister who was tied to the Xingjiao looked up. His face was already indistinguishable, his face was scratched, his eyes were gouged out, and now there were only two holes left in those eyes that were shining with indelible light.Under this torture, the voice of the old prime minister was still peaceful, with the kindness unique to the elderly.

Xu Yuque opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't make any sound. He beat his throat hard until the skin of his throat was red, and his lost voice still couldn't vibrate.

Xu Yuque stared blankly at his useless hands, and then grabbed the ground with his head, once and again, desperately, but after a few blows, a bruised wound appeared on his forehead.

I quickly squatted down and covered his forehead with my hand.

"Xu Yuque, calm down."

Hearing my voice, Prime Minister Ji also knew who it was. He vaguely guessed that Xu Yuque was doing self-torture now, so he persuaded me together.

"Prime Minister Xu, it's all right, the old man is in good health."

"what--"

Xu Yuque was able to make a sound, but it was only a simple monosyllable. He shook off my hand and crawled towards the old prime minister with both hands and feet.The soil mixed with sand and gravel scratched his clothes and palms, he didn't care at all, he just wanted to go to Prime Minister Ji's side.

He knelt down at the feet of the old prime minister, raised his bloody hands, hugged the scorched legs of the old prime minister Ji, and sobbed.

Prime Minister Ji Lao and Xu Yuque, the left and right prime ministers quarreled in court every day. Two political enemies who have almost no personal acquaintances appreciate each other.

When I was having dinner at the old prime minister's house, the old prime minister took Xu Yuque's memorial and severely criticized the second master of the Ji family, scolding him for not being as young as other children.Xu Yuque even named the old prime minister as a capable minister who turned his back on Qianqian and turned Kun. He has the talent to help the world and is the best candidate to promote change.

The two of them are like the brightest constellations in the night sky of Dayu Kingdom. They have their own light, and they complement each other, illuminating the dark night sky like daytime.If the two constellations continue to run according to their own trajectories, a collision between them is inevitable, but unfortunately, before these two peerless politicians face off, one of them will leave the stage first and give the other the full power of the stage.

The latecomer hugged the senior's feet and cried so hard that he couldn't help himself. Xu Yuque had thought about a thousand endings for the two of them, but he still didn't expect such a bleak ending.

At the beginning, the old prime minister still had a bit of Buddha's compassionate look. As Xu Yuque cried endlessly and the Buddha glared, he kicked Xu Yuque aside and scolded:

"Man, man, what do you look like crying, get out, this is not the place for young people to come!"

Xu Yuque rolled aside, his whole body was weak, and he tried several times to get up from the stained ground.He didn't dare to disobey the old prime minister's order, staggered from side to side, and walked out of the cell.

"Straighten your back!"

Ji Laocheng yelled towards Xu Yuque's leaving direction, there was no light in his dark eye sockets, but I still felt the glowing gaze.

Xu Yuque gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and walked steadily, striding like shooting stars.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Yuque didn't say a word, but I saw his figure slowly overlap with the old Prime Minister Ji in a daze.

Fools and power ministers have finally embarked on the same road. They break through the shackles and insist on their own ideas. They need to blindfolded and grope along the rough road. They need to be more cunning and vicious than villains. , Only in this way can we persist in our own sentiments and ideals in the filth of black and white confusion, full of evil words and fallacies.

The road is full of thorns, no flowers, no praises, and thousands of people criticize and scold.

Those who dare to go on the road are all warriors.

154,

The scorching sun hangs high above the capital city, and the golden dragon flag flutters. The capital city that has been silent for a long time is finally waiting for a piece of good news.

Of course, this is the worst news for me—Marshal Ji, Ji Qingshuang, returned to the capital alive.

After I ordered Wang Yu to cut the weeds and root them out.

The first thing Ji Qingshuang did when he returned to the capital was to come to see me and bring another half-dead person with him.

"If he didn't want to see you before he died, I wouldn't have come." Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

Ji Qingshuang sat on the wooden wheelchair, closed her eyes and refused to look at me.Her body carried the wind and dust of the Gobi grassland and the cold iron and blood of the battlefield. After taking off the silver armor, her body was definitely not strong, and even had a unique sense of fragility for women.She just sat in a rough wheelchair like that, with a wool blanket covering her lower limbs, and the fingers of her right hand on the armrest of the wheelchair twisted unnaturally.

Ji Qingshuang is two years older than me, but she is only in her 30s this year, which should be the most pampered age for a woman.But she already has white hair at the temples, and fine wrinkles on her face, she is like a person from two worlds with the well-cared-for noble ladies in the capital.

She was justifiable when she didn't want to talk to me, and I didn't bother myself by going around behind her to see who wanted to see me.

This is a person I didn't expect. Since he gave up the opportunity to spend the rest of his life and decided to stay at the forefront, I haven't seen him for more than ten years.I still remember when I first met him, when I was a petty officer who could only command a dozen people, he was still a meatball with a pleasing round face, small eyes, and when he smiled, his teeth could not be seen. , like a Maitreya Buddha.

He looks very stupid, he can't do anything, and he has no other advantages except running fast and eating more.None of my men like him, no one wants to take him.I took him personally, and I taught him how to use a sword hand in hand, and taught him how to advance faster.I have taught him for a long time, but he is really too stupid, he is just an idiot who can’t afford it, none of the subordinates who followed me at the beginning had a high-ranking military rank, but he is the only one who has worked so hard for more than ten years.
