Prince is a slave

"Some of the craftsmen who built Half Moon Island were actually secret agents placed by the Shang Kingdom/in Elbe. They drew the blueprints of Half Moon Island and secretly brought them back to the Shang Kingdom. As the prince of the Shang Kingdom, I was forced to I have memorized the topographic map of Elbe, so I know that there is such a refuge underground on Half Moon Island."

"Shang Guo owns the topographic map of Elbe?!" Lin Ruizhe sat up suddenly, ignoring the injuries on his body, and stared at Su Yue, "You..."

"You don't need to be too nervous. The topographic map owned by the Shang family is not complete. Some rivers and mountains are also different." Su Yue said lightly, "What's more, Elbe must know a little bit about the topography of the Shang country. Both sides If it's evened out, there's no advantage."

Lin Ruizhe frowned: "No, I have led troops to attack the Shang Kingdom many times, and the king has never given me the blueprint..."

"If he doesn't give it to you, it doesn't mean he doesn't have it." Su Yue said, "Jane is in the emperor's heart. No one else can understand what he is thinking about."

"Why do you say that?"

Su Yue looked at him with a pitiful expression: "...Iroja, when he was fighting, he was much more familiar with the terrain than you who originally lived in Shang Kingdom."

Lin Ruizhe's already pale face became paler, and the blood on his lips faded away, leaving only a bluish white.

Su Yue sat down beside him, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Don't talk about this, I also have something to ask you."

"..."

Su Yue turned his face to look at Lin Ruizhe, and said, "...you...do you really remember me?"

25

25. Tao is sentient but ruthless...

Lin Ruizhe closed his eyes, his expression was elusive, and he nodded slightly after a while: "...I remember."

"..." Su Yue paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and seemed to have a lot of words blocked in his throat, but he didn't know how to say them.

The two were silent for a while, and finally Su Yue asked slowly: "You...hate me very much?"

Lin Ruizhe shook his head and just said: "...I can't forget how those people died."

Su Yue turned to look at him: "You like Yi Xiaona so much? I killed her, and you are so worried?"

Lin Ruizhe smiled coldly. When he laughed, he touched the injured organs, and coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it with his sleeve and said calmly, "Then what do you want from me? Do you want me to treat you happily?" Say, did you kill well?"

Su Yue choked and said, "I..."

"Enough." Lin Ruizhe closed his dark brown eyes and interrupted him, "Su Yue, I have nothing to say to you. I don't hate you. From now on, please stay away from me and don't come again Bother me."

Su Yue looked at him, and after a long time, he smiled slightly, but the smile was a little forced and bitter: "I don't even have the right to be hated by you, do I?"

"..." Lin Ruizhe raised the corners of his mouth with a sarcasm, "Su Yue, you killed so many people, and you never cared about anyone, but why are you so polite to me alone? If someone else talks like this in front of you, Should you burn him to ashes again?"

"...No, I have someone I care about."

Lin Ruizhe raised his eyes, looked him back and forth, and said lightly, "Is it Ping Xijue?"

Su Yue didn't answer his question, but just stared into his eyes, and said: "I have a person I care about very much. For him, I dare to commit any crime. I don't need anything, and I can sell anything for him. , even my country, my blood relatives. As long as he wants, as long as I can give, I am willing to give him everything."

Lin Ruizhe pursed his lips, and turned his eyes to the dancing candles: "I don't agree with these words at all. Maybe you should tell Iroja, and he will accept it happily."

"It has nothing to do with Sir Pingsi."

"..." Lin Ruizhe leaned his head back on the cold stone with a tired expression, "Su Yue, your blood is cold, you don't understand feelings at all."

He paused for a moment, then squinted at the person next to him: "I don't care who you are talking about, but I know that your intentions for him are not true. If you have such pure love in your heart, It is impossible for you to do so many cruel and merciless things."

"...No, I did those things just because he didn't care about me and refused to look me in the eye."

Lin Ruizhe smiled, but his pupils were cold: "No one will kill all the people he loves just because he loves someone. This kind of feeling is not called love, it has been distorted."

Su Yue didn't speak.

Lin Ruizhe said calmly: "Think about it carefully, in your heart, is he really that important?"

"Yes, he is important."

"How important is it?"

"I said I could give him everything I have."

"So what do you have?" Lin Ruizhe looked at him, his lips slightly parted, "Hate? Sin? Su Yue, you thought what you had was love, but all you gave him was pain. You never learned how to judge the feelings in your heart. Maybe you have misunderstood your own heart all this time."

"Can you understand me better than I do?"

Lin Ruizhe lowered his eyelashes, Su Yue saw a trace of tenderness in his eyes, but that tenderness did not belong to him: "I can't possibly understand you, all I understand is my family and Xiao Na."

After a pause, Lin Ruizhe asked again: "Do you know that person well?"

"..." Su Yue was stunned by the question. For so many years, he was like a thorn bird who only knew how to fly forward, blindly obsessed with the lonely maple sea, but never thought that he was I don't really know Lin Ruizhe.

He saved his life and healed his wounds.

Then he thought he was gentle and kind.

He appeared when he was the coldest and helpless, when his life was hanging by a thread.

Then he thought that he was his own salvation, someone who really treated him well.

His fingertips gradually turned cold, and when he looked back, it turned out that so many things were all "he thought", all assumptions.

He didn't understand him at all, but this person stepped on the crack in his heart at the most appropriate time, and he recklessly thought that this person occupied his chest and became everything to him.

But what if Lin Ruizhe isn't everything to him?

If this is the case, then, the things he has done all these years, the blood stained on his hands, the sins planted in his soul, those people who died, those lingering thoughts, jealousy and stubbornness... are all for what?

Su Yue, who has always been fearless, didn't dare to think about it anymore. This feeling is very uncomfortable, as if he is standing by a pool of dark blue water. He is about to jump into it, but he doesn't know how deep the pool is, let alone how deep it is. What kind of strange living creatures lurk inside.

Suddenly, there was a creepy feeling of fear.

"What you love is just an illusion." Lin Ruizhe said lightly, "He is a perfect person you imagined in the predicament and darkness, Su Yue, he is just a reason you gave yourself, a reason to live."

Since being captured, Lin Ruizhe has never been so calm, talking to him indifferently.But this conversation was more indifferent than any previous insults, torture, scolding, and belittling.

Because the person he likes has found a proper fulcrum, and then he has been yearning and loving for the past 12 years, completely prying everything, and finally pushed into the bottomless pool.

He suddenly felt very tired.

Lin Ruizhe rested for most of the day, and he and Su Yue haven't talked a few words since this conversation. On the one hand, Lin Ruizhe didn't want to talk anymore, and on the other hand, Su Yue didn't dare to talk anymore, so they closed their eyes and rested their minds. By the time he came out of the cave where he was hiding, it was already night, the moon climbed up the branches, and the delicate, crystal-like radiance covered Half Moon Island, but it couldn't cover the scars on the ground.

There are scorched dead wood and blackened broken walls everywhere. Someone has obviously dealt with the corpse, but there are still many broken traces missing, such as completely twisted thighs, severed arms, and even glued bones. Guts on the rocks.

It used to be a place where Elbe celebrated and feasted, but now it has become a paradise for crows and vultures.

Lin Ruizhe walked among them silently, his lips were almost pursed into a line, and his face was terribly pale.

"Yi Luojia..." His fingers clenched tightly, his nails sank deep into his palm, and his eye sockets gradually turned red, "...I will not let you go. Absolutely not."

When he returned to the city, what caught Su Yue’s eyes was a large expanse of white, and almost every lintel was hung with the spirit banner of the Elbe Kingdom. They are mourners dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and even the Yirenlou, which has always been bustling, is deserted.Yin Mo, the Yiren mother, shook the beauty fan, her legs crossed in extreme resentment, and her legs fluttered in the wind.

"Damn it, who would have thought that there would be a fire, even if it burned Banyue Island, it would also make the entire imperial capital miserable, cutting off my mother's way of making money."

While complaining, he knocked on the melon seeds, and the melon seed shells were boldly spit on the ground.

The whole Yibei is her most chic appearance.

The simple people who grew up in the rice and sorghum basically listened to the words of the king. In addition, Ye Yun, who wrote the pen, added oil and vinegar to avoid chaos in the world, and covered up Iroja's crimes with "fire" lightly and deftly. .

However, farmers tend to listen to the king's words, but shrewd businessmen may not be so. Although they pretend to be obedient on the surface, there are already rumors that are not good for Iroca behind their backs.

Regarding the statement that "Iroca is the culprit behind the scenes", those who immediately accepted it were basically men, who held together like rats and whispered together, and finally
