King's Landing GL

Chapter 36 Traveling in the Wind

In the camp of King Qi's army outside the capital of the king

"Master, the spies have come to report that the rebel army has assembled sixty miles away from our army." A soldier entered the account.

Murong Yu is handsome and tall in military uniform.After listening to the soldier's words, he took a sip of tea calmly and said leisurely:

"Go down."

"promise,"

After the soldiers retreated, the 30-year-old strategist wearing a silver mask who stood beside Murong Yu chuckled lightly, with a mocking look on his face.He wears a mask on half of his face, but his whole person is imposing, very extraordinary.

Murong Yu said with great interest:

"What are you laughing at, sir?"

"Laugh at that idiot Shan Zhenlin." The counselor sat on the ground, waving his fan in contempt.

"Heh..." Murong Yu smiled without saying a word.

The counselor continued:

"In less than three days, our army will capture Shan Zhenlin alive. After that, what will happen to the prince?"

"The class teacher returns to court." Murong Yu was full of confidence.

Hearing this, the counselor's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and the corner of his mouth sneered:

"Sure enough, she's not as smart as a woman."

"You!" Murong Yu became angry for a moment, pointing at the counselor and said angrily.

The adviser, however, calmly pushed Murong Yu's finger pointing at him aside with a fan, and said in a low voice:

"If you still want to save your life and become king, then listen to me."

Murong Yu took two deep breaths. Ever since he invited this person to his house, he knew how powerful this person was, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said politely:

"I have offended you, I hope Mr. Haihan."

"Heh..." The counselor chuckled, although he was very disdainful towards the idiot prince, he still told him the countermeasure.

"So that's the case." Murong Yu's heart lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't help showing some respect to the counselor.

The adviser waved his fan with a gentle smile on his face, no one could guess what he was thinking.

Palace of Longevity, Qin Palace

I stood outside the gate of the palace, lowered my voice and asked the servants at the gate:

"How is the king today?"

Zong 71 pretended to be a eunuch behind me, but he was not very honest, because I heard his mocking sound with my own ears.Well, I know my reputation as a fear of guilt has gone far enough.

"Return to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in a very good mood today." The palace man replied.

I nodded, turned around and gave Zong 71 a hard look who was still laughing, then took a deep breath, gritted my teeth like a strong man breaking his wrist, and entered the hall.

Into the inner room, thank goodness.The woman is not bathing.

"Morning..." I entered the room, and said to the woman in a black royal robe who was sitting on the floor reading a book with a blank expression on her face.

The tone is quite flattering.

Tsk... what sin did I do.

She twitched her knuckles and leisurely turned a page without raising her head.

I:"......"

Is this ignoring me?

I took a few steps forward with old Zhang's face, and said softly to her:

"It's cold on the ground, get up."

As I said that, I wanted to reach out to help her, but she didn't raise her head, but turned sideways to avoid my reaching out hand.

I:"......"

This must be ignoring me.

"Uh..." I thought about it for a long time, I don't know how I have provoked this aunt since she woke up, but I think it's okay to be shameless with my wife.So I had to say:

"I was wrong."

She turned another page of the book, but still ignored me.

I was so forced that I had no choice but to sit down beside her, playing a rascal and saying:

"Oh, come on, come on, can I be wrong? You can punish me however you want."

Still ignore me.

I said angrily:

"Or I'll let you press for three days."

God sees my pity, I really just say this politely.Unexpectedly, the woman didn't even raise her head, she nodded slightly after hearing my words, and agreed:

"Very good."

I:"......"

My kidney is not good!

Well, that's it, I was suppressed by her for three days in a row.Don't ask me how I feel, I know I can barely stand up when I get up in the morning to go to court.

Three days later, Murong Yu moved back to the court and captured Shan Zhenlin alive.For the sake of Shan Hanfei and Chu's marriage, I will put Shan Zhenlin in the dungeon first, and then execute him in the autumn.As for Shan Zhenlin's army, I collected them one by one and sent them to the frontiers, and all officials related to Shan Zhenlin were dismissed.Due to the timely countermeasures of this rebellion, it did not affect the foundation of Daqin.However, the series of official promotions carried out after I acted as an agent was the biggest purge since the founding of the Qin Dynasty.Nearly half of the officials were implicated, demoted and killed, I have never been polite.

And this also laid the groundwork for my confrontation with the entire court in the future.

Half a month after Shan Zhenlin's rebellion, King Murong Yu of Qi resigned and wanted to travel around.After I tried my best to persuade him to stay, he got a part-time job and took his wife and children to the Jiangnan area, saying that he would return at the end of the year.

The matter of cleaning up the court was calm, and after Pi Sen diagnosed that Murong Bai's cold illness had recovered, I returned the power to Murong Bai.After returning to the court, due to the lack of officials in the court, Murong Bai amnesty the world and opened a special imperial examination, calling a total of 32 officials of all sizes.

The first day of October in the eighth year of Qin Wangbai

Because it was my birthday, Murong Bai, a dark-hearted woman, got up early in the morning, but she didn't go to court, she sat on the edge of the bed with her long black hair loose, and looked at me quietly.And when I woke up, seeing her like this, I rolled my eyes in fright, and almost didn't bring it up, so I just passed by.

Bah, bah, bah, bah... On your birthday, say something unlucky.

"What?" I muttered.

I was frightened by her some time ago, and now she is looking at me like this, it really makes me a little scared.

Maybe it was my unscrupulous behavior that made her look happy, but she hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed.My heart skipped a few beats.I spat in my heart: can you calm down early in the morning!

"Good morning." She smiled slightly.

"it is good..."

"Why didn't you go to court early today?" I asked.

She smiled and said:

"Today you are born, I will accompany you."

I didn't expect this cold and hard woman to be quite emotional. After hearing what she said, I felt like I had eaten honey, but my face was still calm:

"Is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter." She said lightly, "Get up."

"it is good..."

After getting up, she personally combed my hair for the first time, which shocked my little heart to beat fast.After dinner, the two of them took a walk in the yard behind the Hall of Eternal Life, and chatted in a rather harmonious atmosphere. I wondered if this woman had lived for so long, she probably didn't mind that I left the palace that day.After all, what if she minded?I didn't do anything wrong, that's my uncle, Su Yu...

Later Qingyan came to the Hall of Eternal Life to greet me and Murong Bai. I tested his homework during this period of time. After sending Qingyan away, I said to the people beside me:

"Qingyan's qualifications are really very good." At the age of only nine years old, it is quite good to be able to learn what I teach.Of course, it's also because I, the master, have done well.

"Really?" She said lightly, her tone was not fluctuating, and she still looked casual.I thought she was bored, and was about to propose to go back, but I heard her ask me:

"Do you like children?"

"what?"

She turned her head sideways, her face was sunk in the sun, I couldn't see her expression clearly, and her tone didn't change:

"I said, do you like children?"

I heard it clearly this time, but I didn't answer her in a hurry.I was silent for a while, and although I had turned a thousand times in my head, my tone of voice still maintained a bit of lightness, but my voice was a little hoarse.But I don't think she can hear my emotional changes, if not, she will definitely not treat me like that in the future.

I said:

"I really want to have a baby with you," I said softly, without answering her question, my eyes fell in the distance, "but I know it's impossible."

Murong Bai, I like you, did I deprive you of your rights as a mother?

"Is that so..." she murmured.

"I want to have a daughter," I turned my head to look at her with a gentle smile, "She can follow your temperament, if that's the case, I will definitely teach her."

She smiled faintly, her thin eyebrows were quite happy to bend:

"How to teach?"

"Teach her to enjoy life, to be content and always happy." I took her hand and said.

"Huh?" She paused, "Aren't you going to teach her how to read and write?"

I shook my head.

A woman's ignorance is virtue. If she is illiterate and not outstanding, then she will be able to live in this world safely.

I Chang'an.

It's just Murong Bai, can you understand?

She stared at me for a long time, then sighed and said nothing.

The day of my birthday passed by without a hitch. I don't know if it's because I'm no longer the high-spirited young man I was two years ago, or because Murong Bai's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper...In short, the relationship between me and her has been going on since After a farewell to the palace two months ago, the distance between the two has become wider and wider.I'm sure she felt it too, but neither of us could do anything to save it.

I can't guess what she wants to do. In the past, I think I would toss and turn in the middle of the night because of her.Now, I look at the relationship between me and her with a calm mind.In my heart, compared to thinking about Murong Bai's heart, Su Yu is more important.

I miss Su Yu very much.But it was not the kind of longing between lovers. What Zong Qi said to me that day tortured me for a long time.But when I asked Su Yu for confirmation, she denied it.I know Su Yu is a proud person, so I don't want to expose her disguise in front of her.

But I feel sorry for her.

What Zong Qi said was true, I always knew it.But I can't think about it, do it.Years ago, I may have loved Su Yu sincerely, but the injustice of fate separated us.Now, every inch of my heart is filled with the words "Murong Bai".She knew Su Yu, so she denied my past with her.I know her, so I feel sorry for her.

I have seriously thought about my relationship with Su Yu for a long time, and I think I don't love her, that's for sure.But Su Yu is more important than Murong Bai, this is undeniable.Without reservation, if one day I can only save one of Su Yu and Murong Bai, I will definitely choose Su Yu to live and die with Murong Bai.

Su Yu is my bottom line, no one can hurt her, including Murong Bai.

This is my answer.

I still love Murong Bai until there is no more wound in my heart.

After thinking about this, I suddenly wanted to meet Murong Bai, that cold-blooded woman.So I took Mu Er to the Xuanzheng Hall, I reckoned that the woman should also go down at this time, and I wanted to see her.Along the way, the people in the palace looked at me with more inquisitive eyes, but I was surprised but didn't show it.

Zong 71 dressed as Mu San walked past him, and when he saw me, he saluted and said:

"Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?"

He glanced at me quietly, and I led him to a secluded place knowingly, and asked him:

"what happened?"

Zong 71 looked a little unbearable, paused for a long time, and finally told the truth.In the end, I also told some other things that I once thought were "coincidences".

After listening to his words, I didn't recover for a long time, and my mind went blank.I think my face must be pale at this moment, without a trace of blood.After a long silence, I shook my head nervously and murmured:

"No...impossible..."

It turned out that those palace people looked at me not with inquiry, but with ridicule and sympathy.It turns out that what she said on my birthday actually meant something like this!

I took two steps back, incredulous:

"She wouldn't... treat me like that."

"Senior Brother!" Zong 71 roared, "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. I'm afraid that the ministers are all happily preparing for the wedding now! And your sweetheart... the will may be We have arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, and we are waiting for you to go back!"

I angrily pushed Zong 71, and shouted:

"I don't believe it! How the hell is it possible!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for him to reply, I bumped him away and rushed to the Hall of Longevity practicing lightness kung fu all the way.My heart was beating faster and faster, I felt dizziness in my brain getting worse, and the bone-chilling chill in my body was flooding towards me like a tide...

Why do you treat me like this?

why!

I stumbled all the way to the Hall of Eternal Life. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Xiao Taozi looking at me with a somewhat panicked and uneasy face. All the palace servants in the hall looked at me as if they were about to die. Take a breath.In the middle of the hall, Li Dequan looked at me with a serious face, and my eyes fell on his hand - the golden imperial decree he was holding.At that moment, I was still telling myself: I should trust Murong Bai, the woman I love deeply.

But she betrayed my trust.

Because I heard Li Dequan say:

"Qin Wang Junzong, accept the order! I have been married to Wang Jun for several years..."

Is it a few years to be married for only one and a half years?

"I have inherited the great rule for more than eight years, and I am conscientious... But the royal family's heirs are weak... The king knows the general, hereby..."

Weak heirs?You already knew that you and I would not have children, why are you using this reason to humiliate me now?

"Here!" Li Dequan paused after reading the decree, and then said to me, "Your Majesty, accept the decree."

I accepted the order with a blank face, Li Dequan wanted to say something more but saw that my expression was not very good, he sighed and stepped back first.

"Musan." I called Zong 71 who had just rushed over with a dull face, "Where is she?"

"Go back to the king, the king is now in the imperial study."

I looked down at the imperial decree in my hand and sneered.Behold: the one I love the most, compels me as a king to agree to share her with others.

share my woman.

I am a ghostly woman!

My fingers are tightly pinching the decree that has humiliated me so much. I think I should feel angry, but I have no emotion.My heart, like my face: deadpan.

I said:

"Then, according to what the king said, according to this will... let's order it."

"promise."

"Back off." I closed my eyes and said lightly.

"promise."

After everyone left, I sat down on the ground as if I had lost all my strength, lowered my head, and slowly raised my hand to pull my hair.I was thinking desperately, what point did I not do well?What makes her so unacceptable to me?

Every word in that edict expresses the death of my love: I can wait for Murong Bai, but I cannot accept betrayal.

Murong Bai, have you ever had a heart?Don't you feel uneasy when you treat me like this?

—No, she won't be disturbed.

I waited for her in the Hall of Eternal Life for a whole day, but she didn't come back either.On the night of October, I spent half my life trying to cure her from the cold.I lay curled up on the cold floor, warming myself with my own body heat...but I was still cold.

I suddenly remembered that I was poisoned a few months ago, and I was so cold in the bed in the dream that I couldn't wake up from.At that time, I wished that Murong Bai could come, that she could come and hug me.We are entangled with each other and survive by embracing.

But she didn't come then.

So it won't come now.

That night was the most difficult night I ever lived, even worse than when I learned of Murong Wu's birth in the military camp a few years later.Before that, I had countless dreams of eternal life with her.After that, I had to face the fact that she was a king.

My heart is too small to bear that the beautiful dream she wove for me is destroyed by her.

Murong Bai is no longer my wife alone.She has more choices.And I have to wait like a bitter woman for her to remember me again.

Even if she remembered, it wouldn't change anything.She is no longer mine alone.

Since that day, I have seen less and less time with Murong Bai.She recruited seven sons to fill the harem.The reason for everything is because I can't give her a child who can inherit the great line. Her status, her subjects, and her people all beg her to do so.And I can't object, I can't do anything.I can only calmly accept this fact: everything about me is no match for a man.

Gender is destined to make me lose in a mess.

And after waiting for her for five days in the room where I had a wedding with her, I finally moved out and went to the side hall.Looking at the room I lived in when I first entered the palace, I inexplicably shed a hot tear, which hit the floor and my heart.

The six-month cold war between Murong Bai and I officially kicked off.The two of us were like the best executioners, stabbing each other with the most perfect weapons.And the bright blood flowing on the ground is the last elegy of this unwinnable duel.

I will never go back with her.

Here I am trapped by love, hurt by love.But Su Yu rushed to Chu State alone.

Let's say that when Su Yu arrived at the King's Capital of Chu that day, he was met by Zong Qi before he could go to the inn to take a rest.It is said that they met, but it is not always true, because Zong Qi has been waiting for her in Chu Wangdu for three full days.

"Uncle Master." Zong Qi said respectfully.

Su Yu turned his face away, did not look at Zong Qi, and said expressionlessly:

"Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind."

Zong Qi sighed and said helplessly:

"That day, uncle, you forced your brother to leave the gate of Guigu, didn't you just want to protect him? But now you are like this..."

Su Yu was silent for a while, and said slowly:

"Zongqi, I admit that what I am doing now is still because I still like her. But more, it is my irresistible reason-my mission."

"what?"

Su Yu took a deep breath, thinking back to the day when she was ten years old, the blood stained the sky. She still remembered the arc of her beloved master lying in a pool of blood, with his hands hanging down feebly.She paused, and said lightly:

"Bloody feud—the revenge I have to avenge as the elder of the Guigu Justice."

Zong Qi's complexion changed drastically. As a member of the Guigu sect, although she was a latecomer, she naturally knew about the Guigu massacre nearly 20 years ago.That was the worst stroke in the history of Ghost Valley.But now Su Yu mentioned it again, could it be...

Su Yu's eyes fell on Zong Qi's young face, and said softly:

"Don't trust people from Guigu Mountain, including Liu Rufeng."

Zong Qi took two steps back in horror, thinking of something, but forced herself not to think about it, and when she saw Su Yu's expression, she couldn't believe it:

"Uncle...you...mean..."

Su Yu sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm and sarcasm:

"Do you know, the king of this land, in terms of seniority, he should be my senior brother, and naturally... your senior uncle."

Zong Qi's face turned pale when she heard the words, and the worst result suddenly appeared in her mind:

"Then isn't he..." Thinking of something, Zong Qi suddenly shuddered, "Brother, he..."

"Yes, as you think." Su Yu said blankly, "It was all planned by them. It was planned 19 years ago."

Although she doesn't have full evidence now, she can be sure that in the Guigu murder case 19 years ago, A Zong was carried into Guigu Mountain when he was still a baby, and then entered the Qin State... All of this is due to It's someone else's game.Someone is secretly manipulating everything.

What she dared not think about the most was that evening five years ago when she lost her love.And this is very likely... all thanks to that person!

Su Yu clenched his fists, furious.She came to Chu today just to find out all this.Now Guigushan is absolutely untrustworthy, she should form a force of her own!

"Zongqi," Su Yu called Zongqidao, "it's useless to talk too much, so let's just say goodbye."

She didn't want to get involved with others anymore, she could feel the arrival of fate in the dark.

Ah Zong, now I understand that the separation between you and me is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.So, if I find the truth... would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?
