After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The rain was still falling, Bai Yuxing stood under the eaves, his mind was blank.

He watched pots of scarlet water cups come out one after another. Inside the room were the unconscious Lu Xiandao and Princess Fukang who came to wipe away tears after hearing the news.

Lao Lu stood beside Princess Fukang, patting his back gently.Bai Yuxing stood there like an outsider.After a long time, he saw Zhang Lingsu come out, he opened his mouth, the little chivalrous thief who was always fearless didn't dare to ask a word at this moment.

He was afraid of getting bad news.

"Lord Lu is fine, he was injured...maybe he will wake up in a while."

Bai Yuxing put aside all the descriptions of injuries in Zhang Lingsu's words.He only heard that Lu Xiandao was about to wake up, he didn't care about anything and rushed in.

Princess Fukang and Lao Lu were chatting at Lu Xiandao's bedside, but when they saw Bai Yuxing coming, they retreated.

Bai Yuxing stood beside his bed, staring at him blankly.

A handsome young man was lying on the bed, his usual long hair was down, and he was no longer wearing the crimson official uniform, but only wearing a white jacket, which still had blood from the wound.His face was frighteningly pale, and his long and slender fingers were also pale, and he looked a bit fragile and fragile like dying.

But those dark eyes were still staring at the top of the bed with anger, despair, hatred...

Bai Yuxing tried to talk to him.He didn't say anything.

"Yang San is dead." After a long time, he heard Lu Xiandao's voice, "For so many years, I have always regarded him as my big brother."

Yang San is a very old Jiangwei, many years ago when Lu Xiandao first entered the guard, he often took care of him.

"Obviously he will resign in a year...but he is dead." He heard Lu Xiandao's teeth chattering, "It was Qin Liang, it was Qin Liang who killed him..."

"Your wound is open again!" Seeing Lu Xiandao struggling as if he was about to sit up, Bai Yuxing shouted and pushed him back on the couch, "What are you going to do?"

"Catch him, kill him..." Lu Xiandao's eyes straightened.

It was Bai Yuxing's good talk that Lu Xiandao fell asleep again.He had never been so patient with coaxing people.He even found that when Lu Xiandao fell asleep, he was far from the usual superior indifference. He closed his eyes and frowned, like a very insecure child.

"Revenge, I want revenge..." When Lu Xiandao fell asleep, Bai Yuxing also saw the movement of his mouth, as if he was talking in his sleep.

He came out of the room and heard Princess Fukang crying softly in the corridor outside.He heard Princess Fukang say: "If I hadn't been reluctant to let him see Qin Liang's portrait, he wouldn't have... When he was young, he always thought that you and I couldn't take revenge because Qin Liang was still alive, so I can't let him go, that's why I don't get close to him, so I'm cold. Later, he became a Jiangwei. I didn't expect this matter to become a knot in his heart after so many years. Now it has caused him..."

"It's not your fault." Lao Lu hugged her and comforted her, "I knew you didn't like me when I first married you."

"I know that this child values ​​love and righteousness. Yang San was the master who brought him up at the beginning. Now he must...I know him. He is very stubborn. I..."

Bai Yuxing left the princess mansion.He was walking on the road, empty and empty, his mind was full of tears from the injured Lu Xiandao and Princess Fukang.

He wanted to touch Lu Xiandao's pale face.When he saw his face for the first time in the past, he only felt that he was superior.But at this moment, he seemed to hope that he would always be so high above him. Just thinking of him lying in the quilt, so weak that he didn't show any air, he felt a pain in his heart.

Lu Xiandao in his heart should always belong to that cold-faced young man in red.

……

The news of Lu Xiandao's assassination quickly reached the ears of Zhou Xun and the emperor.

This incident is also a coincidence.Qin Liang found out that there was a problem with the road, and he couldn't get out of the big scene, so he came back to look for Lin Yan.He thought that Lin Yan would definitely assassinate the emperor, so he joined the team following the boss, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Lu Xiandao.

After all, he escaped with the help of the guards and became a stray dog. The resistance in the process seriously injured Lu Xiandao and killed Yang San who came to find Lu Xiandao.

Zhou Xun immediately ordered everyone to investigate the matter, vowing to arrest Qin Liang and bring him to justice.After arranging everything, he went to Youhuang Lane.

After Lin Yan's death, old man Shen moved back to Youhuang Alley.He pushed open the curtain and saw Old Man Shen sitting in the bookstore, smiling quietly at him.

On the contrary, old man Shen was a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, and went to sit and drink tea with Zhou Xun in the backyard.

"Your mother, she..."

"Her body, I have ordered people to bury her in Jiangzhou. She didn't want the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty to attack Jiangzhou before she was alive, and she should return to her hometown after death." Zhou Xun said, "After everything is over, I will go to Yunzhou. Let’s go to Jiangzhou. See if the guard is still there, and then move the tombs of the other Lin family back to Jiangzhou.”

Old man Shen was silent for a long time, and said, "You... are a very good boy."

"I used to think that my life was miserable. But it's different now." Zhou Xun suddenly smiled as he spoke.

When he smiled, his brows and eyes were curved, as if he was immersed in the sunshine of the whole world: "I have a name, a very good name."

Old man Shen was startled, and after a long time, he also smiled.

"...Master originally wanted to die there, right?" Zhou Xun said softly, "You already knew that I was Lin Yan's son, didn't you?"

"Yes." After a long time, old man Shen said softly, "I feel ashamed of the Lin family. I left too hastily at the time, and I didn't know the inside story, and I didn't know that their end would be so tragic."

"I've lived for so many years, and I've lived enough. People who care about have their own destinations—this is very good, although there are still some things that I don't know, but it's enough." Old man Shen smiled, "Can you It's worth living up to now."

"Is it really enough?"

"what?"

"Do you really think it's worth it? Just die like this and don't know anything?" Zhou Xun said softly, "I want to take Master to a place today. Just treat it as..."

"Thank you Master for your self-sacrifice."

Old man Shen didn't know why, so he still followed him.However, what he didn't expect was that the place Zhou Xun took him to was actually the residence of Duke Huguo, the cemetery of the Li family.

When he looked forward, he saw a small tomb in the corner.

There is no name on the tomb, but anyone knows who it belongs to.

He saw the Lord Protector.Standing under the nearby tree, Duke Protector walked towards him step by step, while Zhou Xun put a file in old man Shen's hand and said, "I asked the emperor for this."

Old man Shen's fingers began to tremble.

Next, he heard a story.

A very fulfilling story.

A story about the dead.

There is a pair of brothers and sisters who are often compared after entering the court.One of them is amazingly talented, and the other is mediocre and hardworking.At that time, the war between Jingguo and the Northern Wei Dynasty was raging. The emperor took a fancy to the two of them and found a master to train them.

Unlike the talented senior brother, the junior always feels like he's sneaking in, but he also works extra hard.The senior brother is proud and bright, and often jokes, as if he never looks down on the senior brother.The younger brother has been chasing him silently. The gap between ordinary people and geniuses is nothing more than that.

The senior brother always learns everything well first, and then laughs and teases the junior brother to see how the other party jumps.The younger brother thought, the older brother never looked down on himself.

But so what?Brother is a nobleman, although he is a wild dog, he is also a proud wild dog!

Then the time came and everything was ripe.There is a plan in front of Master.

Same as "Project Dead Time".

The content of the plan is very simple, pretend to surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, pass the false information to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then use his own death to consolidate the credibility of the information.

At that moment, old man Shen felt as if he had returned to decades ago, he was still the unyielding and stubborn, but young Shen Xiaoliu.

He felt like throwing up.After so many years, he seemed to have become the Shen Xiaoliu who felt unfair because of the death of General Shen, and as the groom's son, he wanted to go to Beijing to seek justice.

however……

"Actually, it was you, not Li Zhiwei, who the emperor originally preferred."

It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on old man Shen.

"What did you say?"

"Li Zhiwei convinced your master and the emperor to replace that person with him, because he is more credible in doing this. Moreover, he has never looked down on you."

His life is incomplete, he is a nobleman in the Duke's Mansion, but his mother is a lowly prostitute and a poor man in the fireworks alley.Everyone told him that the poor are not worthy of living in the ancestral graves of the Duke Protector's Mansion. They were born humble, and they were not born on the same level as him.

But after all, half of his mother's blood flowed on him, and the discrimination of those people made him angry, lonely and confused.

Until he met his younger brother - a somewhat silly but stubborn young man from the bottom.He didn't shy away from his humble origins and vulgar behavior. He was obviously an ordinary person with nothing, but he insisted that he wanted to vindicate General Shen, who only existed in legends.

The other two people who are separated by clouds and mud can also be connected.Mud, also want to vindicate the clouds?

Many people think this way, thinking that he is beyond his control.But no one knew how Li Zhiwei felt at that moment.

He felt as if he had been redeemed.He seemed to see himself again when he was young, he used to put a sword against his neck, threatening his life to bury his prostitute mother in the Li family's ancestral grave.At that time, everyone surrounded and looked at him, with pitying and mocking expressions in their eyes, as if they were looking at some ignorant child.

No one thinks that a prostitute is worthy to be the mother of the young master of the Duke of the Protectorate, and no one believes that a groom's child can be the savior for General Shen's rehabilitation.

But he is willing to believe that he is willing to give time to let that stubborn young man achieve a miracle.

If they had more time, he might become a good pair of senior brothers with him.The little girl Fukang would still run after him, the younger brother would still dance with him because he liked Fukang, and he would still pour a glass of wine, press two noisy guys on the table, and joke with them.

But time was too tight, and they were too late.Sacrificing one person for more people to survive is a choice that everyone will make.

Until the Lord Protector left, old man Shen was still sitting in front of the nameless tombstone.He wiped the tombstone with his sleeve, wiped the tombstone again, and said softly: "Old Li, do you look down on me? Huh? Think I'm not as smart as you, and I can't do as well as you?"

"He didn't, he never did, he has always been proud of having you as a junior." Zhou Xun said behind him.

"I know." Old Man Shen said softly.

"I discussed with the emperor and decided to write this matter into the history books, together with the matter of General Shen. In the future, someone will read them. These things will be revealed to the world, and someone will remember his achievements."

"Is it okay to mess around like this? Does the emperor agree? You two are really two children." Old man Shen whispered, "It will damage Gaozong's reputation, won't it?"

"But their names will not disappear. As for Gaozong, people in the future will give him a fair judgment. He has sacrificed a lot for the prosperity of the country and the people, and his achievements, and the people who survived because of him, will not be forgotten. The emperor said that what he wants people to see is a real history. But it is not stable now, maybe it will be hundreds of years before people who are happy enough can see it.” Zhou Xun said softly, “every day A person who has sacrificed for this world should be remembered."

"Small things that don't see the big picture."

"What is the overall situation? Respecting everyone's dignity is the overall situation. No one can choose who to sacrifice for the sake of the so-called overall situation, or to bury anyone's sacrifice." Zhou Xun said, "Maybe in a few years The emperor will also change his mind, but, master, you were too young."

Old man Shen didn't look back, and didn't smile.He just desperately wiped the tombstone with his sleeve, even though there was no dust on it, he seemed to be wiping tears that didn't exist.

After a long time, he said softly: "You two... and the emperor, he is really lucky to be here."

He once wanted to end his life under Lin Yan's arrow, just because he felt that now he has nothing to ask for in life, Fukang is happy, Zhou Xun has grown up, General Shen has been rehabilitated, and all his stories are over.

However, at this moment, he thought that he should write a book in the remaining days of his life in the bookstore that he has guarded for so many years.

To record those things that have happened, to record a person.

——even this book, may be hidden, for many years.But one day, someone will see it.As for those people at that time, it didn't matter whether the book was an unsubstantiated unofficial history or something that actually happened.

Three days later, news came from the border that General Li had been assassinated.He was stabbed in the heart by a knife and fell into a coma for a long time. The poison on the knife crippled his two legs.

He once wanted to harass Jingguo with his cavalry, but now he can't.Even when he was in a coma, he didn't understand the reason why the dead man assassinated him, and the dead man committed suicide very quickly.

He still didn't know that the knife he received was the reward for his wild words at a banquet that he wanted to slaughter all Jiangzhou City and snatch all the beauties in it.

From the next day, the defeat of the Northern Wei Dynasty fell like a thousand miles.More weapons were put on the battlefield, in addition to cannons, smoke bombs, and even flashing explosives.

But what the Northern Wei people didn't expect was that Jing Guo's revenge had not stopped.

A group of cavalry broke into the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty at an extremely fast speed.
