Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 380 It’s all in one thought

Wang Yunxiu galloped on the official road. Gradually, Lishan Mountain was getting closer and closer.

Guan Chongsi kept blocking her from coming because "Commander Jie ordered that the young lady must stay at home." Wang Zhongsi's order was far more effective to these subordinates than the imperial edict.

But Wang Yunxiu was holding a funeral at home, and suddenly realized what the funeral meant, so she came anyway.

She didn't care what Wang Zhongsi ordered, she was not his subordinate, but his daughter. Although she has never enjoyed the love a daughter deserves since she was a child, her grandfather is a rather cold person, inhumane and difficult to get close to.

"Hey!"

The horse was exhausted, its front hooves softened, and it suddenly fell to the ground. Wang Yunxiu rolled on the spot and suffered severe pain from the fall. Falling off a horse is an extremely dangerous thing. Many famous generals have lost their lives because of this in ancient times. She was lucky and did not fall to death. She immediately got up and ran towards Wangxian Bridge.

When she was five years old, she fell into the yellow sand of Saibei while riding a pony. At that time, Wang Zhongsi was tying his bowstring and said without raising his head: "Get up by yourself."

He was really not a good grandfather, so after she got married, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she and Yuan Zai left home and lived a life of extreme poverty. It was because Yuan Zai deliberately got close to each other after he obtained the imperial examination that she repaired the relationship between father and daughter a little.

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Yunxiu ran across Wangxian Bridge and went straight to Huaqing Palace. She had already gone to the villa in Zhaoying County, but could not find Wang Zhongsi. Instead, she found that Sun Xiaozhe's dead men were searching for him, so she searched everywhere, and finally thought that it was time for him to enter the palace.

After picking up the knife, he could dodge Sun Xiaozhe's chops, but could he dodge the incoming open and hidden arrows? Even if he escaped all the assassinations, could he escape the disease? Even if the disease can be cured, can he avoid being framed one after another?

Even if you escape all the whirlpools in the court, can you escape His Majesty's suspicion and murderous intention?

"Grandpa?"

He still doesn't feel like he did anything wrong. Otherwise, is it possible to connive at Li Linfu, An Lushan and others, raise troops to cause chaos, and oppose the crown prince's ascension to the throne? The laws of the country are here, and there is no room for any deviation.

The two sides faced each other with swords, and Fan Yang's soldiers were actually more powerful.

"Grandpa! Pick up the knife!"

Thousands of words can be said in this kneeling.

"Wang Zhongsi deceived the king and rebelled! Behead him!"

"Hide!"

The knife was aimed at Wang Zhongsi's neck. When he swung it, Wang Yunxiu jumped up and bumped into Sun Xiaozhe, knocking the knife out of his hand.

tired.

Wang Yunxiu's heartbreaking advice was heard in his ears, and Wang Zhongsi seemed to have not heard it.

Wang Yunxiu didn't understand what he was doing, was stunned for a moment, and ran over there.

"Wang Zhongsi and the Crown Prince are plotting rebellion!"

Wang Zhongsi really wanted to ask the saint why his adoptive father, who had raised and cultivated him for nearly forty years, could not trust his own son or adopted son for once? Could it be that the love between father and son, and the righteousness between king and minister, cannot eliminate suspicion and uneasiness?

Such absurd reasoning really frightened Li Heng, not because Li Heng could not argue rationally, but because once the soldiers of the two sides clashed and the incident was brought to the imperial court, the saint would never believe him.

Li Heng had no choice but to stand there with a look of embarrassment on his face, wishing that everyone in the world and that saint could see how he, the so-called founder of the country, had been humiliated by An Lushan's minions.

"Pick it up! Pick up the knife!"

Although the brotherly love is deep, in fact, Wang Zhongsi has ignored good and bad and acted on his own again and again, which has almost exhausted the loyalty between the two. Wang Zhongsi only talked about today's events but did not say hello to Li Heng in advance.

"Grandpa, hide!"

Why can't saints understand such a simple and obvious truth?

If his adoptive father refused to believe him, he could only use this life to prove it to him.

"This is the Huaqing Palace, the place where the emperor is stationed!" Ji Wen walked through the crowd, stood among the soldiers, and shouted to Li Heng: "Wang Zhongsi deceived the emperor and cheated his death. General Sun wants to take him down. It is legal. Prince You want to use force to stop it, why? Are you an accomplice with Wang Zhongsi?!"

In his sight, Wang Zhongsi was still standing there angrily. Sun Xiaozhe slashed him with a knife, knocking him to the ground, and blood suddenly splashed high.

She was still far away, but she could see someone chasing Wang Zhongsi with a knife and rushing toward him. It was Sun Xiaozhe, who was much closer to him. With the ferocious aura of a Turk, he swung his sword neatly. knife.

Sun Xiaozhe didn't expect to kill this famous general who had destroyed the Turks so easily. His hands were trembling with joy. At the same time, he felt inexplicably guilty and couldn't help but look left and right again.

Since the battle of Stone Castle City, he has been trying his best to save himself, and has been protected by Xue Bai, Ge Shuhan and others. But all efforts are to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and cannot eradicate his biggest sin.

Once he orders the rescue of Wang Zhongsi today, things will inevitably turn into him, the prince, launching a palace coup.

"Is the prince going to rebel?!"

"I have been raised in the palace with King Zhong for a long time. I want to respect the prince."

Wang Zhongsi gritted his teeth and used his last strength to push himself up from the ground. The huge frame became a heavy burden. He finally got up on his knees. There was a lot of blood from the wound on his back, but he just looked up at Xixiuling.

His guards were about to step forward when they heard Ji Wen shouting.

Xixiuling towered in front of him, and only the outline of Jiangsheng Temple could be seen. Wang Zhongsi stared at it for a long time, lowered his head, and scratched words on the ground with his sleeves stained with blood.

Like a mountain, like a rock, people are so angry that they kick it up, which makes their toes hurt.

After roaring again to encourage himself and fill his guilty conscience, Sun Xiaozhe slashed with his sword again.

Wang Yunxiu was anxious at first, and then angry because of Wang Zhongsi's leisurely look. She was angry at his extremely stubborn character, and every time she cried in a hurry, she could not persuade him in the slightest.

~~

Li Heng finally ran out of the martial arts hall. When he saw Fan Yang's soldiers about to pounce on Wang Zhongsi, he quickly shouted: "Stop them!"

In his sight, Wang Yunxiu was trying desperately to stop Sun Xiaozhe, and was heartbreakingly urging Wang Zhongsi to protect himself, but Wang Zhongsi refused to listen. This made Li Heng also complain in his heart about this adopted brother's stubbornness.

He did say this, and in a matter-of-fact tone. It was after the Wei Jian case, some staff said that Ge Nu and the prince had become life-and-death enemies for acting like this. If he could not depose the prince, he would probably use force to stop him. , Wang Zhongsi expressed his position righteously and sternly.

During the Battle of Shibao City, Li Guangbi tried hard to persuade Wang Zhongsi, but Wang Zhongsi was unmoved and refused to obey the order. When Li Heng heard this, he stamped his feet in anger.

This time, he saw Wang Yunxiu rushing towards him. But still no one else saw the whole process of him hunting down Wang Zhongsi and putting down the prince's rebellion.

Before she reached Jinyang Gate, she turned around unexpectedly and saw Wang Zhongsi slowly walking out of a palace to the east and walking alone to the open space.

At this time, Li Heng looked at Wang Zhongsi's back, feeling sad that he was about to die, but also angry that he would not make any compromise.

He didn't understand why this sworn brother wanted to die.

~~

Xue Bai could see Wang Zhongsi looking towards Jiangsheng Temple for a long time in the telescope. He couldn't see his eyes, but he could feel his emotions.

He seemed to have received Wang Zhongsi's final entrustment, as if he was saying "I'll leave the rest to you."

But they actually all know that doing so is likely to be a waste of effort. If Xue Bai and Yuan Zai were not able to bring Li Longji to Jiangsheng Temple to witness it with their own eyes, all the interpretation rights would probably belong to others afterwards. And even if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be, because Li Longji had deep feelings in his heart. He was just jealous of Wang Zhongsi.

This suspicion seems to be a dead end.

Therefore, Xue Bai could understand why Wang Zhongsi finally made this choice.

In the past few years, he tried his best to protect Wang Zhongsi, and sometimes it seemed that he had succeeded, dispelling Li Longji's murderous intention at that time. But as long as someone teases you, the crisis of trust will appear.

As soon as he had made great achievements in Nanzhao, he was transferred to the imperial court as Minister of War. When Xian Yu Zhongtong presented his prisoners amidst cheers, Wang Zhongsi was still lying in bed in Liangzhou recuperating, facing the open and covert arrows of his political opponents, but the saint was not seriously ill. This kind of attitude is almost condoning their continued persecution.

To this day, Xue Bai can still protect Wang Zhongsi once more.

But even he was not sure whether this kind of protection was good or bad for Wang Zhongsi.

……

In the woods next to Wangxian Bridge, a black gunshot protruded from the bushes.

Zhao Yuliang was lying in the bushes, his eyes glued to the telescope, staring at Zhang Xiaozhe's movements.

His whole body was completely soaked with sweat, and his heartstrings were stretched to the extreme. He finally couldn't help but said: "Er baby, have you given the order?"

"No."

Qiao Erwa looked up and saw that on a high platform in the distance, Shi Zhong didn't give any orders at all.

Even they knew that outside the Huaqing Palace, whether it was firing guns or shooting arrows, as long as an ambush was hidden, the nature of the whole thing would be very different. Therefore, they must not take action unless they have to.

Zhao Yuliang could no longer bear the pressure, thinking that maybe he could fire the gun directly and save Wang Jieshuai without waiting for an order. This would be the first time that he had violated Lang Jun's will. But the "bang" in his mind echoed outside Huaqing Palace, which also made him feel a little scary, so he hoped that the sharp archers ambushing on the other side would shoot arrows as soon as possible.

In short, his thoughts were messy, making the blood vessels in his temples throb violently.

In his sight, Sun Xiaozhe kicked away Wang Yunxiu who was pestering him, leaned over and picked up the knife on the ground.

"Eating dog intestines!"

Zhao Yuliang was anxious and quickly moved his telescope to look at Xixiuling. In the distance, several figures were standing on the high platform of Jiangsheng Temple. In his eyes, they were only as big as a finger, but they looked extremely cold.

He wanted to make a move, but his fingers were trembling violently. Suddenly, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves in his ears, and vibrations came from Wangxian Bridge, which made him shrink back in fright.

A group of imperial guards arrived like flying dragons. The leader of the group was strong and strong. He opened his bow and set an arrow, and shot out an arrow with a whoosh, hitting Sun Xiaozhe on the shoulder. The force of the arrow pushed him to the ground.

Zhao Yuliang was like a drowning man who suddenly emerged from the water and could breathe instantly. At the same time, he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his matchlock and did not dare to move, letting the cavalry pass by one after another.

~~

Wang Zhongsi originally thought that he would die under Sun Xiaozhe's sword, but when he encountered this situation, he was a little disappointed.

He turned around and saw Guo Qianli galloping towards him, shouting at the same time: "Who dares to kill someone in front of Huaqing Palace?!"

Sun Xiaozhe covered the injury on his shoulder and managed to sit up. His face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of cruelty, and he shouted: "Wang Zhongsi defrauded the king by cheating his death, and intended to rebel! I just captured him."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Wen, who was rushing over, and An Xin left the next war of words to Ji Wen.

Guo Qianli did not see the whole story. He drove his horse to Wang Zhongsi and took a closer look. He said, "It's really Wang Jieshuai. He looked familiar to me when he looked at him from a distance. Weren't you assassinated?"

Wang Zhongsi did not answer, not knowing whether Guo Qianli's rescue would make things better or worse.

Maybe the saint will still be suspicious of him because of this?

~~

Li Longji looked at it for a long time and finally put down the telescope in his hand.

Gao Lishi stepped forward and said, "I sent someone to listen to the whole process by the prince's side. Are you going to bring him here now?"

Today, during the entire process that the saint witnessed with his own eyes, it was obvious that Sun Xiaozhe had a murderous intention towards Wang Zhongsi. When Wang Zhongsi did not resist at all, Sun Xiaozhe never thought about capturing him alive.

This alone can prove that the An Lushan family's fear of Wang Zhongsi was out of selfish motives.

In this case, Gao Lishi believed that the saint should first ask the imperial doctor to treat Wang Zhongsi's wounds.

But Li Longji just said lightly: "Let them go to the Nine Dragons Hall to face the Holy Spirit."

"According to the order."

"There is no need to keep too many guards in the Nine Dragons Palace." Li Longji added.

Gao Lishi was startled, knowing that this was because the saint still didn't believe in the prince and Wang Zhongsi, and wanted to see if they would rebel. But, is it still necessary?

When he resigned, he glanced at Xue Bai subconsciously. He had completely understood that it was Xue Bai who was cooperating with Wang Zhongsi and deliberately leading the saint to come to the Holy Temple. This was definitely not a good thing. Manipulating the saint would make him angry if it went wrong. Long Yan's great sin.

At the same time, Chen Xuanli was aware of Xue Bai's disgraceful role in this matter and moved two steps to stand between him and the saint.

Xue Bai consciously took two steps back, handed over the telescope, lowered his hands, and looked like he was waiting for disposal.

Li Longji still had his back turned to him, holding up a telescope and watching Guo Qianli escorting Li Heng, Wang Zhongsi, Sun Xiaozhe, Ji Wen and others into Huaqing Palace and towards Yutang Jiulong Hall. In the process, the distance was getting closer, and he could see their movements more clearly in the telescope, but he felt that he was getting further and further away from them. It wasn't until they entered the palace that he put down his telescope, returned to Jiangsheng Temple, sat down on the imperial couch, and waited for the results.

He could imagine that the rebellious ministers were standing in the Nine Dragons Hall at this time, making glib excuses to the jade statue through the screen.

He didn't have the slightest interest in listening to those quibbles. He could already see them clearly above their heads. Now, he just wants to know whether his prince has the courage to launch a coup.

If Li Heng did not have this determination today, he would not have a better chance when Wang Zhongsi died.

After waiting for a long time, a lot of news came through.

"Reporting to the saint, Ji Wen and Sun Xiaozhe firmly confirmed that the prince and Wang Zhongsi were conspiring against each other; the prince knelt in front of the Jiulong Palace and said that he did not know the details and was willing to resign from the throne to prove his innocence; as for Wang Zhongsi..."

At this point, the eunuch who delivered the message paused for a moment before continuing: "He admitted to committing the crime of deceiving the emperor and wanted to be holy before he died."

This request sounded very familiar to Li Longji's ears, and he suddenly remembered that Li Linfu said the same thing before he died.

He stood up again and looked down at the terrain of Huaqing Palace. From this angle, he could clearly see the weak points of the palace guards. With Wang Zhongsi's ability, he only needs to mobilize more than a hundred elites to easily control the Jiulong Palace and "respect the prince" smoothly.

But Li Heng and Wang Zhongsi did nothing.

The stone that has hung in Li Longji's heart for many years has been dangling, but it still can't fall to the ground.

He then glanced sideways at Xue Bai and said calmly: "You are good at rehearsing plays. You have rehearsed a play of "The Romance of the West Chamber" before. What is the name of the play rehearsed today?"

"I am terrified."

Xue Bai's expression couldn't be called panic, but he was definitely ashamed. He took out his bodyguard from his sleeve, but he didn't dare to step forward, so he had to put it on the ground and press it carefully with the fish charm to avoid being blown away by the wind. .

His movements were gentle, and it was obvious that he cared about the official status symbols of Gao Shen and the Fish Talisman.

"I may not be suitable to be an official." Xue Bai rarely admitted this and said: "I deceived the emperor and protected the king's loyal heirs. His crime deserves death. I ask the saint to consider my past achievements and spare my life. Let me go back to the mountains and forests."

"Xue Shangjin doesn't want to be an official anymore." Li Longji sneered, "What will you do if you don't become an official?"

"I should learn from Li Mi." Xue Bai said.

This was said sincerely. He must have really realized his mistake and planned to be a free man.

Seeing him like this, Li Longji calmed down his anger and said: "I knew you were not suitable to be an official, that is, like Li Bai, you are suitable to serve in the Imperial Academy."

"Yes." Xue Bai seemed to have lost his previous ambition and looked a little discouraged.

Li Longji saw no movement in the Huaqing Palace, so he sat back on the royal couch again and ordered: "Summon Guo Qianli."

Guo Qianli suddenly rushed out and saved Wang Zhongsi with one arrow, which obviously left suspicion in the saint's heart.

Waiting for Guo Qianli, Li Longji gave Xue Bai a chance to explain.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, I don't dare to deceive you anymore." Xue Bai didn't want to be an official anyway, so he was willing to go out and said: "I met Wang Zhongsi who was seriously ill in Liangzhou. At that time, a senior official beside him was bribed. He poisoned him with chronic poison and was found out by the minister. A few days ago, the minister heard that Nanzhao survivors were going north to avenge Ge Luofeng. He became suspicious and reminded Wang Zhongsi to be careful. Unexpectedly, he still heard the news of Wang Zhongsi’s assassination. , I couldn't help but wonder why he was so lax even though he knew someone was trying to harm him. So, I took advantage of the opportunity to track down the murderer and checked the headless corpse, and found... that it was not Wang Zhongsi."

Li Longji remained silent, exerting invisible pressure on the emperor.

He recalled that he asked Xue Bai that day, "Is that headless corpse really Ah Xun's?" Zhongsi's nickname.

"Naoomi?"

"I am ashamed." Xue Bai said: "The scapegoat Wang Zhongsi found had a similar body shape to him, and even the scars on his body were similar. But after Wang Zhongsi was poisoned in Liangzhou, the joints of his fingers had turned black. I looked at it at that time She found out that the headless corpse was not his, so she asked Wang Yunxiu. She said that Wang Zhongsi could not bear the torture of being in fear every day, and wanted to ask the saint to make a decision for him, but was afraid that the saint would not believe him, so he made this move and wanted to ask the saint to make decisions for him. The saint proved that An Lushan was rebellious, regarded the royal law as nothing, and wanted to put the general to death."

Li Longji listened expressionlessly and asked: "You can't tolerate Hu'er so much? Are you planning to frame him like this?"

Xue Bai didn't know what to say when he heard this sentence.

Facing an unfathomable emperor, he thought of some Jiji Yingying people he had met in the past. They liked to pour wine to their subordinates at banquets, watch them make a fool of themselves, and ask their subordinates to perform, preferably in male disguise. Women's clothing, posing, how to fall below the bottom line. Xue Bai didn't understand the reason for this trend for a while, but later he realized that it was out of a sense of uneasiness. Feeling uneasy will make people think that if a subordinate is not even willing to drink for him, he must not be loyal enough. All that is nothing more than a test of loyalty. Letting a subordinate fall below the bottom line is like letting a dog roll over on the ground and expose its belly.

The dignified emperor Li Longji also needed such a loyalty test.

In this test, An Lushan performed extremely well. He was like the one who dressed up as a woman at banquets in later generations, put stockings on his thick hairy legs, and performed tricks by twisting his waist and hips. He had already proven his loyalty in the process of making fools of himself again and again.

Li Heng's scheming is known to everyone, and his treacherous side is exposed.

As for Wang Zhongsi, he was the white-eyed wolf who refused to drink when he was given a drink, and kept a straight face when given a smile. He had wasted nearly forty years of upbringing. In my mind, I was still thinking that it would be better for the people of the world to hand over the country to the prince as soon as possible.

After thinking about these principles, listen to Li Longji's words. Xue Bai's fear of this king was reduced by 10%. Although the king's heart is unpredictable, in fact, he cannot escape human nature.

He really wanted to say something to Li Longji, "Because Hu'er can make a fool of himself better than us, and we are jealous of his shamelessness, so we must kill him."

Unfortunately, before these words were spoken, the situation became awkward.

"I'm asking you something."

"I'm guilty, but I can't answer. I really don't know why I wanted to frame Anlu Mountain."

"You are so bold!"

Li Longji cursed and then thought about what he saw with his own eyes.

Wang Zhongsi almost risked his life to prove that he was not a trap... No, Wang Zhongsi is not dead yet.

Li Longji stopped asking Xue Bai, drank a glass of wine, and waited. Not long after, the sound of heavy footsteps "dong dong dong dong" came over. As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the idiot Guo Qianli who had arrived.

"I wish the saint good health..."

"I ask you, why did you save Wang Zhongsi in time?"

"what?"

Guo Qianli might have been prepared to answer other questions, but he was caught off guard and exclaimed.

"I saw someone committing murder outside Huaqing Palace. It seemed that Wang Zhongsi was the one he wanted to kill, so I fired my arrow. As for why? I don't know why."

Li Longji had more questions. After hearing his words, he was silent for a moment and said, "Did someone instruct you to do this?"

"Instructing me?" Guo Qianli still didn't know why. He looked at Chen Xuanli, as if he was going to say that he was acting on Chen Xuanli's order the next moment.

Li Longji waved his hand impatiently and asked Gao Lishi to ask questions.

"General Guo, how did you find the hiding place of those murderers?"

"I searched for two nights. I met some mountain people who reported to me, so I led them there. Unexpectedly, I actually caught them."

"Where is the messenger?"

Guo Qianli said: "I caught those murderers and are still interrogating them, but they can't find out why. I learned that the prince had accepted the holy will to take charge of the case, so I sent them over. I was injured, so I The camp was resting. As a result, the messenger took the initiative to confess to me that he was a subordinate of Wang Jieshuai and had been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the murderers. I became anxious at that time, so I rushed back to Huaqing Palace to report to the saint..."

Seeing that he was so lively and energetic, Gao Lishi couldn't help but ask, "What injury did you receive?"

"I was bitten by a snake when I was picking up someone. I don't know if it's poisonous or not. I'm still looking for medicinal herbs in the Qinling Mountains!"

Guo Qianli said, seeing the suspicion in Gao Lishi's eyes, he couldn't help but said: "If General Gao doesn't believe it, I will take off my boots and give you a look."

When he said he wanted to take it off, he actually leaned down to take it off.

Chen Xuanli immediately shouted: "Enough! Isn't that embarrassing enough?!"

Guo Qianli felt that he had made a great contribution and scratched his head as he didn't know what to be ashamed of.

Gao Lishi had another question, saying: "Did you have any prior contact with Wang Zhongsi or Xue Bai about this matter?"

"No." Guo Qianli immediately shook his head.

Xue Bai couldn't help but said: "General Gao, please forgive me. If I had the intention to set up a trap in this matter, I would not approach General Guo."

"What does this mean?" Guo Qianli asked, knowing that it was inappropriate. He stopped talking and stepped aside honestly.

At this point, everything that should be seen and asked was placed in front of Li Longji, and he should also make a decision.

At the foot of Xixiuling, in the Nine Dragon Hall of Yuchi, Ji Wen was still describing vividly how Li Heng and Wang Zhongsi colluded to rebel.

"Those so-called 'murderers' are basically people sent by Wang Zhongsi. He faked his death to deceive the emperor in order to change the palace so that he could respect the East Palace. When I and General Sun rushed to the Jiangwu Palace, they saw them discussing how to enter the Hua Dynasty. In the Qing Palace, Wang Zhongsi saw that the matter was exposed, and immediately wanted to kill his ministers and General Sun, and then General Sun took action..."

Behind the screen, the saint sat on the couch, listening calmly and motionless.

A eunuch recorded all his confessions and hurried to Xixiuling. Out of breath, he handed the confessions to Gao Lishi and handed them over to the saint.

After Li Longji read it, he murmured: "Luo Congji's net, the confession will always be in full bloom."

"Your Majesty, Ji Wen has deceived you."

"Please take them all under custody first." Li Longji ordered: "Recruit Yang Guozhong to come."

"According to the order."

The eunuch received the order and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked again: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhongsi said that he had "last words for his adoptive father" and I beg you to see him in person."

After listening to this, Li Longji looked thoughtful, and finally thought again of the nine-year-old child who was brought into the palace.

~~

"We will all be detained for now...Wang Zhongsi will stay and give him a soft couch."

After Wang Zhongsi heard this, his lips trembled excitedly, and his eyes shone with light.

He stretched his neck involuntarily, thinking about what he wanted to say to the saint. As it was being moved, his eyes were fixed on the curtain.

However, in the end he was placed in front of the screen.

Through the screen, one could vaguely see the saint sitting in a different posture, leaning sideways on the imperial couch.

"If you have something to say, just say it." The saint's voice came, a little hoarse and flat.

Wang Zhongsi actually has great feelings for his adoptive father and king, but he usually can't express them at all. At this time, thousands of words came to his mouth, and he couldn't help but choke.

"I did say that I will be raised in the palace with the loyal king, but there is another sentence behind it, 'I am deeply nurtured by the saint'..."

~~

At the same time, on Xixiuling, Xue Bai was thinking that Wang Zhongsi's plan might have succeeded this time, right? There may still be a possibility of failure, but can Li Longji still deny the facts he saw with his own eyes?

When he walked down Xixiuling, he looked back and saw a palace official cleaning up the blood outside the Martial Arts Hall. He couldn't help but wonder what Wang Zhongsi wrote when he was kneeling there.

At the end of his sight, the broom was sweeping across the sandy ground, raising a puff of dust and smoke. The dust covered the bloodstains on the ground and also covered the words written with bloodstains.

Stroke by stroke, written crookedly, there are two words——

"Loyalty and filial piety."
