Qingchuan History

Chapter 881
His black hair was extraordinarily black and thick due to soaking in moisture and blood.

And because the crown was gone, a large waterfall swayed on the back, coupled with the current posture and tone, it looked like a Rakshasa.

The Raksha in scarlet clothes and jade face leaned on the grass like a flower that is about to fail. It was a little strange and indifferent, so that Gu Xinglei looked at him closely, and suddenly couldn't recognize his face.

This "That's all" is really frightening - he made a hypothesis, then overturned it himself, and said nothing at the end, which means that he no longer needs the father and daughter of the other side as hostages.

It's killing intent.

Shen Ji's end was already secure, Ruan Xueyin's hands trembled when she heard the voice.

She didn't look back, and continued to listen intently in her sitting position.

Gu Xinglei said again: "Caomin would like to guard Ji Lao and his daughter Wan Ling, and never be imprisoned in Zhoushan! Caomin swears in the name of their ancestors that they will never leave this mountain for half a step in this life! A general or a soldier can kill me! If Ji's father and daughter want to escape, the grassroots will kill them with their own hands!"

This has been said.

Ruan Xueyin couldn't help turning her head, only to see Gu Xinglei's eight-foot body kneeling down solemnly, facing Gu Xinglang, bowing down, bowing down.

On the other side, Ji Wanling no longer kowtowed repeatedly, but also fell on the ground, completely merging with the grass-colored Bi at sunset.

"Why is third brother like this?" Gu Xing said softly.

"The grassroots have made up their minds, and I hope that the king will make it happen!"

Based on Tao theory alone, anyone who interceded at this time would not be as effective as Gu Xinglei.

Because Gu Xinglang owed him the throne.

Such a judgment may not be fair, because this position was not snatched by Gu Xinglang - but Gu Xinglei is indeed the eldest son, and now that he is alive, he can request to take back his position.

The memory came back, but he didn't return, and decided to hide his name in Dafeng Castle. The root cause of this is of course also here.

Sitting or standing on both sides of the Tianhe River are all masters of the temple game.

Everyone understands this truth, so everyone knows how important Gu Xinglei's request is.

Of course, this reasoning can also be completely fallacious—Gu Xinglang’s ascension to the throne is in accordance with the law, and it is the will of the ancestors, and it is an ancestral system. After being alive, times have changed, and the legal support has long been lost.

Both principles can be used.

The question is, which one Gu Xinglang wants to use.

This is the principle of the winner, the principle of the king.

Gu Xinglang stared at his brother.

Shaking his head slightly, a drop or two of blood dripped from the loose black hair, submerged into the grass, and disappeared without a trace.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Xinglei said urgently, he had no choice but to turn to look at Ruan Xueyin.

There is no theory, only emotion.In terms of love, at this moment, not everyone in Zhoushan, but everyone in the world, can say thousands of words, and Ruan Xueyin can't say a single word.

"Please have mercy on Your Highness the Empress!" He bowed again in a trembling voice.

"His Royal Highness, please have mercy!" Ji Wanling on the other end was also awakened by the sound, and shouted.

Ruan Xueyin didn't speak immediately.

It's not that he hesitates to intercede, in fact, there is no need to ask, Gu Xinglang will never kill his teacher and Ji Wanling.

She was thinking about how to respond so that she could complete the scene and satisfy Gu Xinglang's wishes.

Gu Xinglei was even more anxious because of this silence, "Mrs. Yu was confused for a while, and hurt His Highness with the thieves outside the city of Mianzhou! But she also reined in the precipice, helped His Highness escape, and took care of His Highness all the way, which is enough to pay off the crime! Please also ask your majesty to come with me!" Your Highness sees—”

He didn't know the whole story of that night, but he knew that Ruan Xueyin was injured, and accompanied Ji Wanling all the way to Buzhou Mountain, talking about everything, more or less.

But it was a mistake.

Because Ruan Xueyin hasn't told Gu Xinglang yet.It is because he is afraid that this personal grievance involving the Three Kingdoms will interfere with his decision-making on the current situation.

And where did Gu Xinglei expect a woman who was loved and doted on by the king, who could endure such suffering and grievances without complaining?
Gu Xinglang's originally calm state suddenly fluctuated because of these words.

He turned to look at him, "What did you say?"

Gu Xinglei was startled, a little confused.

Ji Wanling didn't know whether Ruan Xueyin said it or not, but the matter has come to this point, whether there is or not, it's all there.

"My concubine, my daughter is guilty!" She was already lying down, but her voice fell, and she bowed even lower.

Gu Xinglang turned his head for a while, looked at the river bank, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Wan Ling, come here." When she spoke again, she was still gentle, but she couldn't refuse.

Ji Wanling propped up her upper body, and was stunned, not understanding what was the reason for passing this juncture, and she was not sure whether to follow her orders or not.

"Not yet!" Gu Xinglei knew that his younger brother would not talk nonsense if he had made up his mind, and if he wanted to speak, there was still room for maneuver.

Ji Wanling always obeys Gu Xinglei at any time, but at this moment, it is not any time.

Still not moving, she looked at Ji Huan.

"Go. It won't get any worse." Ji Huan said lightly.

The Tianhe River separates the north and south banks. If you go around, you may not be able to pass it until midnight.But the river is full of bright red, corpses like floating ice, how can a woman get across on a raft?
"The teacher's soldiers are all very skilled. It's not difficult to get the raft ashore and send the lady over." Gu Xinglang said again.

A moment later, a bodyguard shook his pole, reciprocated left and right on the water surface, tried his best to avoid the dead body, and carried Ji Wanling to the north bank.

Occasionally, the river overflowed the raft, soaking the uppers and skirts of Ji Wanling red.Her heart was beating wildly, and there was a surge in her chest and abdomen, she suppressed it forcefully, picked up the skirt and looked towards the other side, trying to divert her attention so as not to vomit.

The faint smell of blood rising from the river still made her pale.

Gu Xinglang just watched from a distance, seemed to have emotions in his heart, but also seemed to be empty.

The emerald beauty finally went ashore through purgatory, she staggered a little, Gu Xinglei couldn't hold back and reached out to support her.

There are many people around, but they are all separated by some distance.Only the Gu brothers, Ruan Xueyin and Ji Wanling gather in the center of the scroll, and the silent time calls the world to rest.

"I wanted to say something disappointing." It was Gu Xinglang who spoke, very slowly, without any emotion in his voice, "Forget it."

Ji Wanling thought that she would not have any emotional ups and downs due to any of his words and actions. After all, she has been stranded for too long, and the way is different, especially when Gu Xinglei is back.

But being beaten by the word "disappointed" followed by "forget it", it hurts, and the friendship of childhood sweethearts for 20 years cannot be easily wiped out.

"Your Majesty, I have disappointed you." It took a long time before I replied, and the words were so awkward that I couldn't hear them clearly.

Gu Xinglang no longer looked at her. "Apologize to the queen first. You had the intention of harming her and even took action, but she didn't make trouble at this moment. If she still tried to persuade me to spare your lives, you should apologize even more."

Ji Wanling was startled, but finally raised her hands high and was about to bow.

Gu Xinglang suddenly remembered that Ruan Xueyin's injuries were on the outside of her knee and calf. "How did she get hurt?" He asked again unexpectedly.

Ji Wanling was startled again.

"Yes, it was the queen who paved the ground with thorns called snake teeth, so, let Your Highness kneel all the way there."

The state of mind that had been repeatedly prepared for today, and the indifference that was born because of the death just now, finally exploded because of these words.

Gu Xinglang wanted to raise his head, but he didn't know how to face Ji Wanling's face; when he wanted to turn his head, Ruan Xueyin's face was already in his mind before he saw it, smiling like that and saying "it's much better", it made his whole heart ache .

"To make amends to the empress, there is a set of etiquette, no matter if you are a concubine or a minister's daughter." When she spoke again, her voice was completely cold.

Ji Wanling immediately understood, pressed her heart and overturned, kept her hands high, knelt down with her knees bent, and prostrated herself on the ground, "Your Majesty was instigated by thieves and became obsessed with ghosts, causing damage to your Highness's phoenix body, an unforgivable crime! Your Highness wants to repent in time for your courtiers, and join hands with His Highness to advance and retreat, escape from the sky, and let the net be forgiven!"

Gu Xinglang just wanted her to apologize, not to punish her, so this sentence made an exception for her father.

Ruan Xueyin was sure that what Gu Xinglang thought was whether to be imprisoned or not to be killed, and she was also sure that even if he was heartbroken and angry, the person in front of him was Ji Wanling after all, and even if he didn't admire him when he was young, he still had 20 years of friendship.

Even if there is no friendship for 20 years, he is a man, and he is a gentleman, so he will not make serious troubles to a woman.This is the upbringing virtue of a man in the Gu family.

"In the siege of Mianzhou, Mrs. Yu was not the mastermind. And as you said just now, at that time, I reined in the precipice, and my meritorious deeds were already paid off. I accept this apology." Not much higher, looking at the emerald pearls in the green silk of the other party, there is no pleasure at all, only melancholy.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity and compassion! Your Highness is kind, and I beg Your Highness to persuade you to spare the life of your father! If you are granted a pardon by the Holy Grace, my daughter is willing to accept the fault of the family and apologize with death!" Returning to Gu Xinglang,

"Your Majesty, please be merciful!"

How could Gu Xinglang kill her? She and Ji Qi are the most innocent in this big family change.But Gu Xinglei opened his mouth again after hearing her words, Ruan Xueyin was afraid that if he impulsively said that he wanted to die for Ji Wanling - that would really offend Tianwei.

He hurriedly flung his eyes over to stop him, and was about to speak, when he heard a very weak voice from behind:
"Your Majesty."

It was Shen Ji who opened his eyes and barely sat up with A Xiang's support.

He still wanted to kneel, but it was very difficult, he gritted his teeth and tensed his jaw tightly.

"Sit down and talk." Gu Xinglang knew what he wanted to do, so he couldn't stop him, so he stopped him coldly.

"Your Majesty, Nian Zaichen has followed you loyally for 14 years, and has spared his clan members several times with his life." He lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by the villagers by the river,
"Li Hongjian has already been put to death, and I wish to stay with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and guard them for the rest of my life, never to be imprisoned in Zhoushan."

These words are for the sake of the clan, and also for Ji's father and daughter.And like Ruan Xueyin, he was begging for Gu Xinglang rather than Ji's father and daughter.

——The young emperor has been forced into the desperate situation of the battle between heaven and man. No matter which one prevails, anger, resentment or resentment, in the end, he has to choose between life and death.

He and Ruan Xueyin, as close friends and lovers respectively, hoped that he would be Gu Xinglang's choice, not the emperor's choice.

Otherwise, he will be sad and regret it for the rest of his life.

"The concubine thinks," Shen Ji and Gu Xinglei have already come up with strong persuasive words, Ruan Xueyin propped up her body and knelt, "The situation in Jidu is not clear, and there may be changes on Ji Ping's side, so I don't know. Let Ji's father and daughter stay first." As for the villagers of Buzhou Mountain," she tilted her head slightly,
"I haven't seen any rebellious actions, just like Mr. Shen's advice, I will be imprisoned together with Ji's father and daughter in Buzhou Mountain. Please, Your Majesty, think twice and be merciful."
