Chapter 989 Shadow Pendant

Chapter 989 Shadow Falling (Twenty-Five)
I have seen too many people of reputation being slandered by foul language, and I have also seen them truly harmed by rumors, and even worse, slandered to death.

I have also heard that most of the famous and capable ministers in history were framed and killed by treacherous people.

Thinking about the fact that they were never able to clear their grievances during their lifetime and died with hatred in their hearts, how can ordinary people like us easily believe that “a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear”?

Even if one is not innocent, one cannot escape the calamity of the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

What I tell you is always the ups and downs of the past, like clouds and smoke.

There are so many things that need to be talked about, but when the words come to my lips, they are cold and harsh.

It makes people heartbroken and unable to sleep all night.

"I don't know what you're thinking..."

Li Lusheng sighed resentfully. Next to him was Ning Ji, who closed his eyes and placed his hands on his knees calmly. He let the carriage shake a few times without moving.

"But, I am sure now that you are most likely crazy... Why are you accompanying us? His Majesty the Emperor knew that you were going to stop us, so he specially pardoned you. Now, are you going to ask for forgiveness again?"

Li Lusheng suddenly opened the silk curtain of the carriage and looked back at the carriage where Tan Mingqiu was. In his carriage was Ning Ji, while in Tan Mingqiu's carriage were Chang Yinglan and Chu Yue.

"What do these two people have to do with you?!"

Ning Qing was handling affairs at Wutong Division, but was persuaded by Ning Ji to stay in Bailing Mountain.

"You must get involved!"

Li Lusheng was furious. He thought Ning Ji might not know who he was against!
"Your Majesty!" Li Lusheng groaned out this sound with gritted teeth, using almost all of his strength. These four terrifying words, when combined together, were enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.

Speaking to Ning Ji with words of disappointment in his life as a friend is, after all, too selfish.

"None of us knows those two people! Hand them over to the Justice Department! Hand them over to the commander of the Imperial Guards! What will happen?!"

Li Lusheng was still too young, or perhaps because he couldn't understand why Ning Ji did this, he became more and more excited.

Even losing your mind.

"Please be quiet, my friend."

He was shocked by Ning Ji's voice.

"I am the Lord of the White Spirit. I will not break my promise. This is my answer to you."

Ning Ji was full of righteousness, and his gorgeous white plum-colored robe with a black background made his black hair even brighter. He opened his eyes, but stared at the floor of the carriage, his seriousness becoming more and more obvious.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, and when we meet we yell at each other like enemies. I thought we could play chess and drink tea together to get through these days."

He suddenly let out a long sigh and looked at Li Lusheng seriously.

The young old friend spoke slowly in words he could not understand.

"Time, love, are all bitter, aren't they? Since I have made this choice, I must accept its pain."

"Isn't there a character like this in every shocking story? The one who bears everything in pain and goes against the current. He has nothing to fear. These so-called powerful ones."

"I was born without the ability to be like an ordinary person, and I am not afraid of becoming like an ordinary person, dear friend, please understand."

He kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, pouring out his inner thoughts.

He understands his difficulties better than anyone else.

"This is human nature, isn't it?"

"I am the Lord of White Spirit."

He opened his eyes and smiled at his best friend.

This smile was enough for Li Lusheng to remember for the rest of his life. What kind of smile was that that could make people easily believe his stupid nonsense.

Water passes through the clouds and turns into rain.

"I've made a promise, and I'll never break it."

He spoke softly, and Li Lusheng suddenly became quiet.

Li Lusheng first sat down slowly and moved his seat. He was originally sitting next to Ning Ji, but now he sat straight opposite Ning Ji. Without saying anything, he slowly leaned his back against the carriage. As the carriage bumped, his body began to sway, but he did not seem to care so much about the bumps. His body swayed with the carriage, his hands on his thighs, grasping them heavily, but he did not feel any bumps.

“Ah…Is that so…”

Li Lusheng also sighed.

"I don't really care about... this matter..." Li Lusheng raised his head.

His eyes were burning.

"It's just that I'm more afraid... Ning Ji, our fathers died on the battlefield. I also think that I can die on the battlefield, and I shouldn't get involved in politics and be stabbed in the back by anyone."

"I roughly understand what kind of danger you are facing now, but I can't help you. I can only advise you not to help those who have nothing to do with you..."

Li Lusheng smiled and cried at the same time.

Then he lowered his head again.

"So that's how it is... If you were persuaded by me, how could you still be yourself... The Lord of White Spirit was born to live for those who are in misery... Even if they have nothing to do with me..."

"Right... You've never been the kind of person who only cares about yourself... If you were the kind of person who ignored the wronged, then I... wouldn't be here... right? Ning Ji..."

Li Lusheng was deflated, like a bird clinging to a branch. The strong wind from the carriage would have overturned him in an instant, so he had to hold on.

Only in this way will he not be afraid.

That was a different kind of relief.

Is there anyone who is afraid of time?

Is there anyone who is not afraid of time?

Is it possible for anyone to be aware of the existence of time?
When we really realize the existence of time, time has already slowly slipped away from us...

Won't be coming back...

forever.

"Perhaps, life always requires a few rebellions to realize that you are still alive..."

Ning Ji seemed to be talking about something insignificant.

He looked out the window at the many people rushing around. Have they ever really thought about such questions? Have they ever been wronged by others? Can they see the future?
Who can answer him?

Thinking about it this way, it is indeed gone.

"My father was also the Lord of the White Spirit. He died on this battlefield."

Ning Ji's sudden heavy topic made Li Lusheng grit his teeth and stay quiet.

"Now, I am also the Lord of the White Spirit. I suddenly understand my father. On that night when he saw that he would die on the battlefield, he suddenly hugged my mother and said..."

He laughed happily, a happy smile on his face.

This was something Li Lusheng had never seen before.

The other side of Ning Ji.

"It's been a long time since we went to Yuzhou to see flowers. Let's go and see them together when we have time..."

Ning Ji laughed out loud, as if he was there, he could see his father hugging his mother.

In the moonlight, they said things in front of him that they normally wouldn't say.

"Those who know the future feel very miserable... but also very happy..."

Ning Ji looked at Li Lusheng.

"You may never understand it in your lifetime..."

"But I can only tell you this..."

"It's a very bitter sweetness..."

"You know all the bad stuff is going to happen..."
