King's Landing GL

Chapter 34 A Big Gamble

Shu County

When I stepped into the city gate of Shu County, it had been three days since I left Qin Wangdu. During these three days, I traveled day and night, endured the discomfort of my body, and finally arrived.And when I arrived at the gate of Qingyun Villa, which was decorated with lanterns and festoons, I clearly heard the cheers of everyone inside:

"Worship heaven and earth!"

I got off the horse, and my figure flickered.How is it possible...she is really going to get married?A piercing pain spread from his chest.

"Brother!" Zong Qi stepped forward to support me.I raised my hand to stop her, and swayed into the door.Some scenes that I once thought were dreams are revived in my mind at this moment.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

——Master Uncle, you lost this time in the sword competition.

--lose?I, Guigu Suyu, will only lose to you in this life.

——Why?

——With you in my heart, how can I win.

"Bye husband and wife!"

——Ah Zong, today you and I are married.From now on, I will no longer be your uncle... I finally became your wife.

——The sky is above, and the thick soil proves that I, Guigu Zongheng, married Su Yu today.

No loss!

"No!" I broke into the hall and shouted to the people who were worshiping. It turned out that after hearing my words, all the congratulatory people looked at me, whispered, and even asked loudly. Who am I.And I only looked at the woman in the wedding dress.In my impression, she has always been wearing a blood-red gown, so she looks so good in her wedding dress.

Why I never know, I don't know her heart, suffering like a sea.

I braced my body and walked towards her step by step, and said to her, "You can't marry him, absolutely, no!"

The man next to her who was wearing the same new clothes as her stepped forward and said:

"Who are you? How dare you be presumptuous here!"

Only then did I look at the man who had such a good life. After looking closely, I felt a little familiar. It turned out to be the handsome young man who beat me at the gate of the Zong Mansion for no reason a year ago.

"Who am I - it's only related to her." I stared at Su Yu and said slowly.

I tried my best to see her face through that glaring Xipa, and I wanted to know what kind of expression she would have on that monster face that fascinates all sentient beings at this time.Happy—or sad?

Probably because of joy, I took a step forward and laughed at myself: she must be happy, because she married this man voluntarily.Look, didn't she take a small step back?There was a dull pain in my heart, so she didn't want to see me anymore? ——I’m here again, what are you doing?

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something to her.Unexpectedly, they heard a noise of fighting outside, and everyone took out their weapons one after another, and entered a state of vigilance:

"what happened?"

"What happened? Why are the people from the government here?" Someone asked.

"Everyone should be arrested, and anyone who resists will be executed!" I heard a male voice yelling loudly.As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze, and the people from all corners of the world took out their weapons one after another, and they all joined the battle without saying a word, and fought with the people from the government.

Under this kind of situation, I didn't care about others, I just looked at Su Yu, an arrow shot towards her suddenly, I took a step forward, and pulled her behind me - just like many years ago , She always protects me like that.

Maybe it was because I moved too violently, and she, who dodged the arrow, couldn't stand still and almost fell down.I subconsciously reached out to help her, and at the same time, the hipa she was covering fell to the ground.I was taken aback, then pinched her arm and said angrily:

"Who are you?! Su Yu!"

"I..." The strange woman stuttered in fright, which annoyed me greatly.

"A Zong!" A familiar name called me behind me.

I let go of the woman's arm and turned around slowly. The surroundings were in chaos, but I saw her fighting alone from the crowd at a glance.That face, which I hadn't seen for more than a year, carried the smile I was most familiar with, and across the crowd, I clearly saw her eyes full of affection that I had seen but never noticed.

I remembered that when we were on the road, Zong Qi said to me, senior brother, you betrayed Murong Bai this time to find the senior uncle—what you brought to the senior uncle was the hope she had been waiting for for a long time.If you can't give her what she wants, please stop hurting her.Uncle Shi... very bitter, there is no other person in the world who loves you so much except her.

I exhaled a foul breath, passed through the crowd, walked quickly towards her, stood still in front of her, and said softly:

"I thought you were getting married."

she laughs:

"I'm already a married woman, how can I remarry?"

The fight intensified, I frowned and looked at the chaotic scene and then at her murderous look, and then said:

"Stand behind me, this time, let me protect you."

She froze for a moment, then walked towards me with a smile, and I waited for her, but unfortunately, before I waited for her to come to me, I tilted my body and suddenly fell to the ground, spitting out a pool of blood.Su Yu's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to catch me:

"A Zong!"

What I want to say, after running around for days, my weak body finally couldn't hold it anymore, and I passed out when my eyes went dark.

I was woken up by the sound of talking, seeing that I woke up, Su Yu immediately came to my side and helped me up to lean against the head of the bed.I looked at the surrounding environment, it should be in the inn.I asked:

"What time is it?"

Su Yu poured a glass of water, handed it to me, and said:

"You've been in a coma for two days, and it's dusk now. It's getting dark."

I glanced at the table and leaned against the table, looked at me and Su Yu's Zongqi with a smile, and asked her:

"What about your business?"

She froze for a moment, and said resentfully:

"Brother..."

I sighed, looking at her like this, I knew she probably forgot, so I had no choice but to admit my fate:

"Tell me."

Zong Qi glanced at Su Yu cautiously, and saw that the latter looked as usual before opening his mouth cautiously:

"That day in Qingyun Mountain Villa... the people from the government strangled many people from Jianghumen. Those who escaped... all hated...Guigu."

I frown:

"What's the matter with Guigu? My Guigu gatekeeper wasn't there that day..."

"I don't know who made the rumor, saying that the leader of the army that day was Qin Wangjun, the eldest disciple of Guigu." Zong Qi said.

I took a deep breath, Zong Qi said that I don't know who was rumored, and a name has already appeared in my heart.But I don't want to believe it. Earlier, I found out that Murong Bai had a lot to do with certain Jianghu sects. Now that I think about it, it turned out that she had already planned to reshuffle the sects.I can understand her, because in this troubled world, some sects really developed too fast, threatening the royal power.But I can't accept it, I can't accept her doing things that are harmful to Guigushan.It's good that I like her, but if the price of liking her is to make Guigushan the target of public criticism——then I'd rather not like her anymore.

Su Yu suddenly reached out and held my hand, staring at me without blinking:

"follow me."

I froze for a moment, but didn't respond.

She lowered her eyebrows and her tone was rare and soft:

"I can't help it... If this continues, I will go crazy."

"What... what?" My heart was pounding, and my intuition told me that what she was about to say was something I would never be able to bear.

Zong Qi had gone out at some point, and Su Yu and I were the only ones left in the room.She was silent for a moment, then continued:

"I saw you fall in front of my eyes, I can't do anything." She looked up at me, "I don't ask you to remember the past, come with me, get out of here."

Follow Su Yu, and from then on, there will be no freedom with Su Yu in the world.I wouldn't be in that conspiracy, spending my life chasing someone I might never have.If that's the case, I'm sure I'll be happy in this life.There is no love, no hate.Maybe years later, when I look back on the past, the person I once loved has blurred his face.She is so beautiful, but in the years, one day I will forget it.

Forgotten.

But I don't want to forget.

I have forgotten the people I love, and if history were to repeat itself, I would rather die than forget.I missed it once, and I don't want to make it a second time.I have lost one person, and I don't want to bear the second.

Right now, I only want Murong Bai.I can no longer tell whether I have more obsession with her or more love for her.But either way, it was an irresistible reason for me to stay with her.

"I......"

"Listen to me," she interrupted me, "You already have the answer to Qingyun Villa, don't you? I know...know that you like her...but Ah Zong, if this continues, you will die!"

"No..." I deceived myself, "She won't, let me die..."

She sneered, then took out a letter from her arms, opened it and handed it to me:

"But what if she knows your identity?"

I looked at the piece of paper, my face turned pale, I didn't dare to think that if Murong Bai knew... With her temperament of seeking the world... I am not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of dying in Murong Bai's hands, but I Afraid to die.If my heart dies, I can no longer forgive her, and I can no longer find a reason to stay by her side.

"A Zong, come with me." Her eyes were full of starlight, like the vast night sky.

I was silent for a long while before opening my mouth and saying:

"I can't go..."

When she left, she would have no one to accompany her.That throne is so lonely, I don't want her to bear it alone, I want to be with her.Even, I don't know if she would like me... to be with her.

Maybe what she wants is that person named Murong Wen...Me? ——Maybe it's just her whim, or... It's something she drives away loneliness, but more, I'm her weapon.She wants to use me to achieve her goals.

If I also accept this, I think I love her so much, and will she come to my long street and be my returnee?

I don't know, but I want to know.If you want to know, then take a big gamble.

Su Yu looked at me for a long time, and finally compromised:

"Forget it, I knew you didn't want to."

"I......"

She raised her hand to stop me, stood up and said:

"You are a lunatic, and I am also a lunatic. As I said... there is nothing I can do about you. If you want to stay in Qin, you must voluntarily defect to the Guigu sect. From then on, you will no longer be a member of the Guigu sect. ..Guigushan, I can't finish playing with you..."

At the end, she turned around and looked at me, her eyes were full of my shadow:

"A Zong, do you know the price you paid for doing this?"

I kept silent.

I know, of course I know.

"Worth it?" she murmured.

I raised my head, looked at her, and pointed out:

"Presumably, someone has asked you this before..."

She froze for a moment, then chuckled again. After a long time, she sighed, but her eyes no longer fell on me, and her tone was always helpless towards me:

"In the end, I still lost to you, that's all..."

Then he turned and walked out the door.

"Su Yu." I suddenly opened my mouth to call out her name, it was the first time I called out her name in such a serious manner, instead of my uncle.She trembled and stopped, neither turning her head nor speaking.

"We..." I raised my eyes to look at the sunset outside the window, and fell drunk little by little on the other side of the mountain. In the silence of the room, I said again, "Have you ever been married?"

"No," she said flatly, her voice as usual, "You and I are just nephews."

After that, I went out, leaving me alone in the room.

Is it just my nephew?I lowered my eyes, and my mind was a little empty. If that person wasn't Su Yu, who would it be?

Or, that person...is really no longer in this world?

After resting in the inn all day, early the next morning, Zong Qi came to say goodbye to me. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally couldn't help asking her:

"Zongqi...the person I forgot...do you know who it is?"

Zong Qi glanced at me, but didn't speak.I waited for a long time but still didn't see her speak, but when I was about to ask her again, I caught a glimpse of Su Yu from the corner of my eye.She was wearing a blood-red gown, with a careless expression on her seductive face, leaning against the doorway, lazily.

I stood up and whispered:

"Uncle Master..."

"Now you are no longer a member of the Guigu sect, so you don't need to call me uncle." She didn't look at me, her eyes fell outside the window, "You return to Qin...be careful."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door, Zong Qi sighed, glanced at me, hesitated to speak, but still didn't say anything, and left with Su Yu's figure.I stood alone in the room, watching Su Yu's back, until her blood-red figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, and I fell to the ground as if I had lost all my strength.Slowly raising my hand, the sunlight fell on my face through the gap between my fingers, I closed my eyes, and sighed heavily:

The ghost valley mountain that raised me and taught me... I betrayed.It's just because I like that woman named Murong Bai, after all...does it make sense for me to do this.

Su Yu... Are you disappointed in me? —Me too, disappointed in myself...

Murong Bai... I said this name silently in my heart, don't let me down again... I'm afraid I will want to hate you.

In the evening, I left Shu County.Before that, I secretly went to Qingyun Villa to find out some things.Before I had time to ask Su Yu why she confronted Murong Bai in the name of marriage, she had already left, so I had no choice but to investigate by myself.Now I don't have any source of information, and I am no longer a disciple of Guigu, so naturally... I can't rely on Guigu Mountain.

After checking and checking, they couldn't find out why, so they had to leave Shu County for the time being.But I don't want to go back to the capital so early. Frankly speaking... I haven't figured out how to face Murong Bai yet.

Going around all the way, it was already half a month later when I returned to the capital.There are still no clues about Qingyun Villa.The only good thing is that in the past half month, I have been traveling in the mountains and rivers, and my mind has relaxed a bit. The problem of always coughing up blood has been cured.

I only found out later... that marriage was the beginning of all the plots, and it was the beginning of the countdown of my life.If I left with Su Yu that day...then the ending of the three of us would be rewritten.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

When I arrived at the capital, I found that the security was much higher than before, and there were even members of the Royal Forest Army guarding the city.I went back to the palace with doubts, and as soon as I entered the palace, I found that the atmosphere was a bit weird, and there was always a feeling that the enemy was about to break the city.My eyelids twitched, and I hurried back to the Hall of Eternal Life. At the gate of the hall, I met Pi Sen who was carrying a medicine box. Behind him were more than 20 imperial doctors, all of whom looked very heavy.My heart sank, and I walked forward quickly:

"Pi imperial physician."

"Your Majesty and so on, see Your Majesty the King." Seeing that it was me, everyone immediately bowed and saluted.

"Wanli and flat body." I pursed my lips and said, but looked at Pi Sen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Doctor Pi, please come this way." I said to Pi Sen.

Pi Sen nodded slightly, and walked towards me, while the others entered the Hall of Eternal Life.

"A Sen, what's the matter?" I immediately asked Pi Sen in a secluded corner.

"Your Majesty's cold illness has struck." Pi Sen said.

I frowned, Murong Bai practiced kung fu in a cold room since she was a child, I know that she has cold in her body, but in the past [-] years, she has never suffered from cold disease, why did she have it this month?What's more, the Pi family sits in the formation to apply medicine to suppress the cold air, and I used to take advantage of her to drive away the cold every night while she was asleep... It would be too weird to say that she committed a crime.Judging by the posture in the palace, something big must have happened.

"Besides this, what else happened?"

"Prince Shan, you have rebelled."

My heart thumped, Shan Zhenlin actually rebelled!Wouldn't it be...

"Go to the Hall of Eternal Life." I said to Pi Sen with a calm face.

Longevity Hall

I entered the hall with Pi Sen, and when we got to the inner room, I saw all the imperial doctors outside the screen frowning anxiously and sighing. Through the screen, I vaguely saw Murong Bai sleeping on the bed, and my heart throbbed: This strong woman must have suffered so much when she fell on the bed!

At that moment, all the complaints against her along the way disappeared.I glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"Except for Imperial Doctor Pi, everyone else should go out!"

"No." Everyone said respectfully.

I went up and sat down on the edge of the bed.I don't know if this woman was as anxious and helpless as I was during the month when I was in a coma. I looked at her closed eyes and pale face, but there was nothing I could do.I caressed her face with trembling hands. I still remember how she looked furious behind me when I left. How could this woman who was so powerful that I was powerless not be able to fall asleep in less than half a month?

"Xinran..." I called her softly, "I'm back."

I'm not angry with you, you wake up.

Get up and annoy me.

"..."

"A Sen..." I called out to Pi Sen who was on the side, he had already told me about her situation just now, and I turned my head to look at him, "You can make her wake up, right?"

"Yes," Pi Sen frowned, "but the cold air in the king's body is too strong..."

"I'll be the container." I interrupted Pisen and said calmly, "I'll take the coldness in her body and it'll be fine."

I don't want to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, she wants to be healthy.She is a woman who wants to rule the world, how can she lie on the bed so weakly?

"Zongheng! You're crazy!" Pisen said angrily instantly, "Do you know how much that would hurt your body! You..."

"Asen, you know better than me how difficult it is to cure the cold. Besides this method...is there anything else better?"

"Then you don't need to be a hero! There are so many people in the palace..."

"But I'm her wife." I interrupted Pisen, stood up and walked in front of him, "No one is qualified except me."

Pi Sen turned his face away, his eyes were a little red, and said coldly:

"Stop it, I can't do it."

"Arsen, please."

After being silent for a long time, Pi Sen suddenly sighed, his eyes pitying:

"Idiot..."

—— "Asen, please don't tell her."

——"Why?"

——“I don’t want to impress her.”

"Cough cough cough..."

"Duanxiu, if you cough again, you will die." Xiao Taozi gave me a sideways look, and said coolly.

I smiled lightly, the weakness of my body made me not want to argue with Xiao Taozi anymore.I turned my head and glanced at Murong Bai who was asleep on the bed with frowning eyebrows, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Your Majesty will be fine." Xiao Taozi suddenly said to me.

I froze for a moment and laughed:

"I know."

Xiao Taozi glanced at me, frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Hey, why don't you let Imperial Doctor Pi show you?"

"what?"

She looked at me with disdain:

"Look at how weak you are, don't be king, you are sick again. You are a mother."

I:"......"

She should be caring about me in disguise, right?

Well it should be.

"You are just sick, and the king is sick again. Hey, what is this called..." Xiao Taozi murmured.

I smiled and didn't speak, but I had some calculations in my heart - I was poisoned, Su Yu was besieged by the government, Shan Zhenlin rebelled, Murong Bai fell ill... What a coincidence.I also remembered that the Queen Mother called me over yesterday, saying that the court was in chaos, and hoped that I could take charge of the overall situation...

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics - but if that's not the case... I glanced at Murong Bai who was sleeping, and my heart sank. If I follow the current trend, I'm afraid that the Great Qin will change king before Murong Bai wakes up.Yesterday, Mo Shan reported that Shan Zhenlin had assembled an army of [-] people and was heading towards the capital. If he didn't stop him, he might soon attack the city!

Defending the city... The question is where can I find so many troops now?Now that Qin and Hu are at war, the military generals of the court and China are all on the frontier, and there is a shortage of troops in the capital.Shan Zhenlin is a prince and has a private army, but I don't have one!At that moment, I suddenly hated the Qin system that allowed the prince to build a private army!

Defend the city, what should I use to defend the city.It's no wonder that people in the capital are panicked...

"Duanxiu..." Xiao Taozi looked at me with an extremely serious expression and said, "You want to protect the Qin Kingdom for the king!"

I froze for a moment, did even Xiao Taozi know?Then he laughed:

"nature."

After finishing speaking, he called Li Dequan:

"Your Majesty." Li Dequan bowed.

"Legend——King Qi enters the palace, and I have important matters to discuss with him!"

"promise."

Looking back at Murong Bai, he sighed and turned around to go to the imperial study.
