Chapter 56

Zhen Guojun

At night, I picked 20 people and crossed the river in the dark.Even though I know it's dangerous, I'm really worried...I don't know my opponent at all.Speaking of the battle in Rongcheng a few days ago, if I said that I won beautifully, it would be better to say that the opponent was teasing me.They are all from Guigumen, what I can think of, it is impossible for him not to think of them, unless...

I frowned, feeling a little lost in thought.

"General." A soldier came to me quickly and said to me, "We have arrived in the territory of Chen Jun's formation, and everything is safe and sound."

My heart beats faster for no reason:

"All right?" I frowned.

"Yes, all is well," he replied.

I tightened my palms, my face was a little stiff:

"The person who went in first... hasn't encountered anything until now?"

"Never."

My heart sank, and I felt a chill on my back. I pulled out my long sword and growled:

"Retract!"

It's so peaceful, it's abnormally peaceful.The anxiety in my heart was magnifying, and a breath of death hit me.As soon as the words fell, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air fell into my ears, my pupils dilated slightly, and I saw countless arrows shooting towards me.

"defense!!!"

I roared, raising my sword to block it.But no matter how fast I reacted, I couldn't match the speed of this arrow. In an instant, half of the twenty people I brought fell down.I tried hard to lead them back, but after a while I realized that it was a dream, because I heard the sound of the horn-the horn of the enemy's attack.

The horn sounded, and a large number of Chen Jun soldiers suddenly appeared in the grass. They held swords and attacked us.I was slightly distracted, and wanted to withdraw my troops and return to defense, but a sharp arrow shot at me. I couldn't dodge in time, and was shot into the abdomen by the arrow.Before I could feel the pain, my brain became dizzy for a while. I looked up and saw a man wearing a silver mask covering half of his face, holding a bow in his hand, curling the corners of his mouth at me, with a half-smile.

There is poison on the arrow!

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but I couldn't struggle and fell to the ground weakly.The last consciousness is to hear someone say:

"My lord, the enemy army has been captured."

I really didn't expect that I fell into his way here!

Qin Palace Imperial Study Room

Murong Bai swept the memorial on the table to the ground, with a livid face, he said:

"What did you say?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and the cold sweat dripped from his forehead. How could he be so unlucky? After the first attack, he led the army to find out the enemy's situation in person.

This is good, Wang Jun was captured by Chen Jun.He was out of luck.

"Back to the king..." the Minister of the Ministry of War said, "General Gu... was captured by the enemy...life and death...unknown."

Murong Bai pinched the edge of the table, his veins bulging.

Calm down, she should be calm!She kept telling herself to stay calm.

"What's the situation in the barracks?" She suppressed her anger and said coldly.

"With General Li Wu here...the situation is fine."

"Your Majesty!" Gan Luo stepped forward and said, "I thought Chen Guo would take General Gu as a hostage...so..."

"So if necessary, abandon Gu Congnan, right?" Murong Bai said with a blank expression, every word.

Gan Luo froze, then bent down and saluted:

"Your Majesty, please put state affairs first!"

Murong Bai's chest heaved violently twice, she stared at Gan Luo firmly, state affairs are the most important?If she really got to that point, she would actually be made to put state affairs first!She is so cold-blooded, they all taught her.They can be affectionate and righteous, so why let her grow old alone!

"Get out!" Murong Bai said with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth, and paused every word.

"Your Majesty..." A group of ministers headed by Gan Luo knelt on the ground, although apart from Gan Luo and the Minister of the Ministry of War, they didn't know who the King's new favorite Gu Congnan was, but they It was clear that their always calm and calm King might be a little out of order, and they all said together, "Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important thing!"

"Get out! Get out!!" Murong Bai raised his voice twice, pointed at all the officials, and shouted angrily.

Seeing this, Li Dequan immediately went forward and led a group of ministers away. Some ministers didn't understand the reason and asked Li Dequan in a low voice how their king could be like this.Li Dequan had no choice but to cover up in circles:

"General Gu joined the army for the country and made numerous military achievements. Now let the king abandon the car to protect the commander...how could the king agree?"

"But if Chen Guoyi..."

"Okay, my lord." Li Dequan said calmly, "I don't know anything about the king."

"This......"

When Li Dequan returned to the imperial study room again, Murong Bai had calmed down a lot, but his face was very pale.Seeing Li Dequan coming, she regained her composure and said softly:

"She didn't suffer..."

Hearing this, Li Dequan, who was already over [-] years old and had gray temples, almost shed tears.Murong Bai grew up by his side since he was a child, although his temperament is cold and boring, but his heart is very good.Otherwise, it's impossible for a palace official like Xiao Taozi to turn a blind eye.

The former Murong Bai had flesh and blood.When I was a child, I was punished and grounded by the late king for being mischievous and disobedient, and even the courtiers like them were punished, but she was a majestic empress dowager who knelt in front of the late king and said: "The emperor himself made a mistake, the emperor Take it on one person, please don't blame others." She used this method to intercede for them.It's just that I don't know when, that Murong Bai has disappeared.She rectified Chao Gang with iron and blood wrists, and her temperament gradually became deserted due to the throne, so that she was no longer the princess who would throw herself into his arms and act like a baby when she was a child.This throne changed her a lot. Li Dequan didn't know whether he should be grateful for Wang Jun's appearance. Because of Wang Jun, he saw the smile reappear on the king's face. Because of Wang Jun, he felt that such a Murong Bai Still a person with blood rolling on his body.He is just a slave who doesn't know any state affairs.He entered the palace at the age of 14 and has been in the palace for forty years, but he has accompanied Murong Bai for more than 30 years.To say something outrageous...he eunuch...but takes the king...as a relative.

His eyes were moist, he saluted, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty Wang Jun... has a kind heart and will definitely not... be in danger."

"But Ah Weng..." Murong Bai murmured, "I'm afraid."

Li Dequan burst into tears, he knew that the king had already fallen in love with Wang Jun, but the two of them were too stubborn, which made the trouble come to this point.Now something happened to Wang Jun... Can the king's body survive?

"Your Majesty..." Li Dequan's voice was trembling due to emotional ups and downs, "You must take care of yourself..."

Murong Bai lowered his head expressionlessly, without saying a word.Li Dequan fixed his eyes and saw that the king was holding a piece of jade tightly in his hand.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be the jade that Wang Jun once gave to the king.

Chen Jun Dungeon

I woke up from the cold, soaked in shoulder-high cold water, woke up from the cold.Even though it is September, the water is freezing cold. ——Water dungeon, you really think highly of me.

I tried to move my body, but found that the iron chains hanging from the ceiling and extending from the ground had already locked my limbs.I chuckled lightly, the water dungeon was too dark just now, I didn't see it.

I lowered my head to look at my abdomen, and in the light of the water, I could vaguely see redness.My body has long been stiffened by the cold air of this water prison, and I have lost consciousness. No wonder I can't feel any pain.

I don't know how long I was imprisoned. I thought about it. The fact that I was captured must have been reported to the army. With Li Wu and Li Yi in charge, I don't think there will be any troubles in the army, but I'm afraid I'm afraid that Chen Jun will make a deal with me.I shook my head, trying to wake myself up a little.I think this is probably impossible. Among other things, I have been imprisoned here for so long, and I haven't seen anyone from Chen Jun come over.And... I thought of the masked man I saw before I fainted. I had an intuition that he captured me not for such a simple matter.

He should have some other purpose.

I was locked in the dungeon, surrounded by darkness, and I never saw anyone except someone who lit a lamp and came down the stairs directly in front of me to bring me food every day.If there were three meals a day, I would have been imprisoned here for five days.I can't figure out what King Xiaoyi wants to do, and I don't know what he wants from me.Using static braking is the only option I can choose now.

I am waiting for King Xiaoyi to come, but compared to this, I am more worried about my body.The water was too cold, which already caused the cold air in my body to rush around in my body. If this continues, I am afraid that I will not be tortured to death by Chen Jun, but by the cold air attacking my heart and going crazy to death.

On the seventh day, I finally met King Xiaoyi.He came to the dungeon alone, carrying a lamp, humming a tune whose name I don't know.Sitting on the stairs, looking at me, laughing:

"Hello, Ghost Valley."

My heart sank, he actually called out my name, which means...he already knew my identity.

"Is it cold?" There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was an almost loving expression on the half of his face not covered by the mask.

I felt a chill in my heart:

"You are from Guigu Mountain."

He was startled for a moment, and after he realized what I said, he smiled again:

"It's been a long time since no one said that about my identity, and I almost forgot."

When I pursed my trembling lips, he smiled and said:

"Is it cold?"

"What do you say?"

He laughed twice, then stared at me and sneered:

"You have only been locked up for seven days, and you feel cold? And I was locked up for 15 years."

I laugh:

"What's with me?"

"It has nothing to do with you." His eyes were gloomy, "But it has something to do with your father. Father's debt is repaid, are you right?"

I froze for a moment, father? --my father?Is Xiang Yan, the former king of Chu State?

"I guess you must be very curious about who I am," he said lightly, "I should talk to you—my nephew."

My heart sank.

"My name is Xuan Yi, and your father Xiang Yan and your master Liu Rufeng came to Guigu's sect. Xiang Yan and I practiced horizontal techniques, and Liu Rufeng practiced vertical techniques."

"..." I've never heard of Sylphy, a member of the Guigu sect, around.

"The three of us are brothers and sisters. We were brothers and we lived and died together. But later..." His eyes fell on the water, and his voice was filled with some inexplicable emotions. "Later, they wanted to... drive me to death."

I kept silent.

"In the past, the three of us exchanged swords and went down the mountain. Xiang Yan entered the Chu State, Liu Rufeng went to the Qin State, and I was scattered in the rivers and lakes. There was a deep love between Zeng brothers. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, it became so unrecognizable. Xiang Yan once made great achievements Lord Gai, who sought the throne of Chu, he got married, I went to congratulate him, but he stabbed me with a sword. After returning to the mountain, Liu Rufeng imprisoned me on Siguo Cliff, where I suffered from the bitter cold for fifteen years. You Say—should I take revenge?"

I sneered:

"Do you think I am a three-year-old child? For no reason, Xiang... How could my father be your enemy, and how could the master imprison you for fifteen years?"

Hearing this, he laughed out loud.

"It's exactly as you said. Back then, I was scattered around the rivers and lakes, and I wanted to use the ghost valley technique to dominate the world, but my good senior brother called me a lunatic and stabbed me with a sword!" His eyes were ruthless, "It's all That woman's fault! If it wasn't for her, our senior brother wouldn't have made such a mess! Senior brother was punished by Guiguzi on my behalf and kicked out of the school...Of course, I will avenge my senior brother."

My heart was beating fast, and I tremblingly said:

"what have you done?"

"What did you do?" He chuckled softly, "I wiped out Guigu Manmen! Tell me, did I avenge him?"

"It turns out that you were responsible for the Guigu massacre back then!" I scolded, "Xuan Yi! You still have the face to say you are a member of the Guigu sect!"

The bloody murder was so tragic that in just one night, all the elites of Guigu were lost, and only Liu Rufeng and 11-year-old Su Yu were left among the disciples who entered the room... He is also a member of Guigu's sect, so how could he do it!

"Why am I ashamed?" He laughed, "Guiguzi is an old man, pedantic and stubborn. Which one of the medicine men I made is not perfect? ​​But he just said that I am a sinister person. Hehe... If it wasn't for Xiang Yan took it on my behalf, and I was almost killed by him."

I struggle to take two steps forward:

"Medicine man! How dare you fucking come out as a medicine man! You deserve to be a member of Guigumen!"

His eyes fell on me, and the corners of his mouth curled up:

"The story is not over yet. After Xiang Yan was expelled from the school, he became the king of the Chu Kingdom. He got married, and I went all the way to congratulate him, but he wanted to congratulate him. Take my life! It's all because of that old man Guiguzi who calculated for me. He doesn't believe me anymore!"

he roared:

"He doesn't believe me as a junior!"

I spat at him:

"You can do such a cruel thing, why... gain the trust of others!"

He laughed without saying a word.

I said:

"So you held a grudge and wiped out Guigumanmen, right!"

"Yes." He applauded, "Exactly."

"But later..." He clenched his fists and said, "I went to tell my two senior brothers with joy, they...they teamed up to imprison me in Siguoya for 15 years! 15 Years! Liu Rufeng and Xiang Yan! They imprisoned me for 15 years! Just because of that hexagram, they decided that I was an ominous person! I will destroy Guigu Mountain! Xiang Yan and Liu Rufeng can become the head and elders, and I, for them, But they treated me like this. You said, don’t you deserve to die?”

I looked at him blankly, and said lightly:

"Xuan Yi, you are so pitiful."

"Poor?" He repeated, laughing, "How can I be pitiful. My game has just begun, how can I be pitiful?"

"Are you here today to tell me a story?"

He shook his head, with a joyful look on his face:

"I'll let you make a choice."

"what?"

"Do you want to bear Murong Bai, or do you want to bear Jiangshan?"

I looked condensed and said coldly:

"What do you mean!"

"As I said, my game has just begun." He smiled strangely, "Don't you think this water is very cold? I specially prepared it for you."

"you......"

With his face sunk in the dim light, he paused word by word:

"Make you into a medicine man, my most proud masterpiece."

My head buzzed and went blank for an instant.

"Use it for me, come with me to see the final outcome!" He stood up, and the light stretched his shadow very long, "You are very similar to your father. Why don't you choose for your father—you Do you want to bear the beauty, or bear the world?"

"you......"

"If you choose the former, I will guarantee you to rule the world, but your woman, Murong Bai, will not be so easy. If you choose the latter, then come and see the final outcome with me!"

"What did you do to her!!" I yelled.

"What did you do? You're only asking now?" His voice was cheerful, "Do you remember the person named... oh, Mr. Xie?"

My heart trembled, and my body became completely cold.

"He is, my gift to Murong Bai."

"..." I lowered my head and remained silent for a long time. With a trembling voice, I said softly, "Let her go...I can do whatever..."

"Even if you are my medicine man?" He asked back.

I nodded, and my throat moved:

"Don't... move her."

He looked at me quietly for a while, and said:

"not regret?"

"Do not......"

He interrupted me and said with interest:

"Even if she used you, you don't regret it?"

"..."

"Heh... I use you to reform the law, promulgate it in your name, and make you a public enemy of the Manchu Dynasty." He said lightly, "Oh, it's more than that. Do you remember the poison you were poisoned in the eighth year of Qin Wangbai? That was her Do it yourself, do you know?"

I trembled all over and looked up at him with disbelief on my face.

"Don't believe me?" He sat down again, counted his fingers, and said to me, "There were a lot of obstacles in the reform that year. She used this method to poison..."

He laughed:

"It's a good idea. You were poisoned and sick. She used this as an excuse to weaken the strength of the nobles in the court. Don't you think that after you got sick like that, the reform process went much smoother?"

"..."

"There is also Qingyun Villa. She originally wanted to destroy Guigushan's eyeliner in Qin, but you ran away and ruined her plan. So she used her plan, contracted a cold disease, and refused to go to court. You return What did the Queen of the Palace do? Did all the doubts about her disappear? She also drank Gu and spent half her life trying to save her. Oh, she even betrayed Guigu and thoughtfully cleaned up the redundant staff in the court—— What a perfect plan, killing three birds with one stone. In this way, you will trust her, and your skills will be halved, and without the backing of Guigushan, she will no longer have to worry about you being unpredictable."

I spat out blood, lowered my gaze, and said hoarsely:

"Shut up...shut up."

"Shut up? No, you want to hear it." He continued, "Afterwards, the courtiers asked her to build a harem on the grounds that you had no children. Did she respond quickly? Of course, those seven young masters She only admitted to the palace after careful selection. Who do you compare to the family behind those seven people?"

"Of course, you are not completely useless. Didn't she arrange an assassination for you? Although you have been lying down for a few months, but because of this she has firmly held the government in her hands, and she can have the power of the Qin Dynasty." .Later, I got married with Chen and gave birth to Murong Wu, but it was all thanks to you, His Majesty, who is so affectionate and affectionate. You are like a dog she keeps by her side. She rushed forward to clear all obstacles for her, she loves you? ——It’s ridiculous. Guigu is crisscrossed, how did Guigushan teach you such an innocent thing? Why, it’s hard to accept?”

The blood dripping from the corner of my mouth smeared on the clear water, but disappeared after a while.My vision was a little blurry, I looked at Sylphy, and said quietly:

"I know, I know it all."

I already knew that I have been in the army for nearly three years and left that man-eating palace. What else did I not find out?I didn't go back, and I didn't think about going back, but I was disappointed.But when Xuan Yi told everything, I realized that I was still not strong enough to say "it's okay" calmly, and I still cared.I know what Murong Bai did to me, but I didn't check it carefully... It turns out that there are so many things after counting them.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that all the memories related to her are stained with conspiracy blood.

"Know all of them?" He looked at me, "Accepted all of them? — Even if she killed Su Yu?"

I bit the tip of my tongue, the pain made me wake up a lot, I smiled faintly:

"You talk a lot of nonsense."

"Oh... Interesting, really interesting." He stood up, raised the lamp, and said to me, "If you choose to be the leader of the world, then don't regret it. The potion in this pool will last for more than a month. I am a medicine man who obeys my word."

"How can I... believe that you won't hurt her?" My voice was hoarse, water was dripping from my hair.

"I, Xuan Yi, never break my promise." He said in a low voice, "The day you become a medicine man is the day of Xie Changjun's death. So, can you believe it?"

"Xie Changjun...is he one of yours?"

"Small man, if he didn't look like your king's old lover, would he be worthy of my use?"

"Heh... Sylphy." I looked indifferently, "You are really, too confident."

He looked at me for a moment, then turned and went up the stairs, saying:

"I asked Murong Bai to choose the same choice. The bigger the comparison, the better you can see your intentions, right? Let's see if you have the same heart. Hahahaha..."

"..." I slowly closed my eyes.

Palace of Longevity, Qin Palace

Murong Bai stared blankly at the certificate of credentials on the table, and after a while, she said dumbly:

"Take the country and India."

Hearing this, Xiao Taozi suddenly knelt down:

"Kings!"

"Bring it!" Murong Bai said coldly.

"Your Majesty! That's the letter of surrender!" Xiao Taozi kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, think twice! If the seal of the state is stamped... Qin Guo will become a subsidiary of Chen Guo Kingdom! Your Majesty!"

Murong Bai slammed his fist on the table, his eyes turned red:

"Didn't you hear that?!"

"Your Majesty!" Little Taozi bent over and knelt on the ground, "Little Taozi knows about the relationship between Your Majesty and Wang Jun, but Your Majesty..."

Murong Bai stood up abruptly, drew out his long sword, pointed it at Xiao Taozi, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Do you want to... let Gu give up on her?"

"Your Majesty, Little Taozi knows that you are suffering. But this country's seal...cannot be sealed."

Murong Bai's body trembled, he took two steps back, the sword in his hand loosened and fell to the ground.Two lines of tears fell on her thin face, she raised her head and laughed loudly:

"Gu this king...it's really good to be! It's really good!"
