This morning, when Mu Zheng woke up, he felt that the world was in chaos, his eyes were sore and he couldn't see.

At first he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was the result of working hard in the past few days, so he called the imperial doctor to apply a hot compress with wormwood for half an hour, the pain gradually eased, and his eyesight returned to normal.

In fact, since Liu Yu was imprisoned, Mu Zheng seems to be living in dire straits every day.Sometimes the chest was unbearable, sometimes the whole body was stabbed, and the most embarrassing time was to directly faint in the hall in front of all the ministers.Even if he is connected with him by blood, there is no need to say much about Liu Yu's suffering.So that day when the old imperial doctor talked about Liu Yu's experience in prison, Mu Zheng almost refused in a panic.

He didn't want to know.If you know, I'm afraid you will soften your heart; if you soften your heart, you will forgive easily-again and again.Luo Ling, the third prince of the Crow Clan, is really haunted.

Furthermore, now that the southwest border has been caught in the flames of war, the morale of the army must not be disturbed.As long as Liu Yu is punished and Mu Shan can get satisfaction from it, tens of thousands of wolf men can charge forward on the battlefield without any worries.

After all, compared with the soldiers who threw their heads and blood on the battlefield, Liu Yu's one finger was really too small a price to pay.

Mu Zheng looked at his slender and strong five fingers, and at some point today, one of them would feel a sharp pain.With Mu Shan's sinister and jealous personality, she would probably pick the most important finger on her right hand——Mu Zheng was playing with a dagger inlaid with gemstones in his left hand, and he thought ironically that he would chop off that finger too , where the pain is the real blood, veins, connection, connection.

Such behavior is no different from that of a madman.It's a pity that he is not only Mu Zheng, but also the wolf king of tens of thousands of creatures on the grassland, otherwise he could interpret these four words more appropriately.

Until the time had passed, he vaguely realized that something must have happened in the dungeon.A servant walked into the golden palace, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor is here to see you."

Mu Zheng jumped up from the lonely throne: "Please come in!"

When the old imperial doctor walked in with the medicine box on his back, the big bluish-purple blood stains on the trousers and cuffs hadn't dried completely, and even left a red mark on that old and wise face.How could it be possible to bleed so much with just a broken finger? !

"Where's Liu Yu?!" Mu Zheng hissed, his eyes cracked.

The old imperial doctor bowed and answered the wrong question: "Your Majesty, Jiang Lu of the witch doctor family is dead."

Only then did Mu Zheng breathe out the breath that was pressed into his chest.He almost staggered back half a step, the dagger with shaved hair like mud sank three inches into the case, and stabilized his body: "Is the blood on your body from Jiang Lu?"

"Back to the king, it is indeed Jianglu's."

Mu Zheng really didn't want to call the joy and gratitude in his heart a blessing or a fluke: "How is he?"

The old imperial doctor cupped his hands again, clenched the word "sinner", and said everything slowly: "Fang Caichen and Jiang Lu went to the prison together to identify the bones of the sinner. Who would have thought that when Jiang Lu saw the sinner, Then he rushed forward and threw him down like crazy, holding a knife for bone removal in his hand, and shouted, "Eyes! Eyes!" When he rushed back, he found that Jiang Lu had already died of vomiting blood, and his eyes were staring at the sky. However, the blood that had been spilled all over the ground was a strange purple color. The minister was suspicious and carefully checked After searching for a while, I found out that Jianglu died of poisoning. And the poison entered the lungs, it did not happen overnight..."

He eloquently explained the cause of Jiang Lu's death, but he didn't mention a word to Liu Yu who was thrown down.Mu Zheng's face was cold, his eyes narrowed slightly and shot out a cold light, almost as sharp as scraping off the old imperial doctor's face.

Mu Zheng knew that the old imperial doctor definitely did it on purpose.Deliberately not mentioning Liu Yu, just to make myself anxious.

However, in fact, he was not that anxious, and the sharp pain in his eyes in the morning seemed to have an answer.When all the dust settled, Mu Zheng exhaled slowly, and asked softly, "He's blind, isn't he?"

The old imperial doctor was startled, then stopped talking, raised his head and looked at the wolf king in astonishment.

He thought that Mu Zheng would question, be surprised, be furious, and be distraught... However, he still overestimated Mu Zheng's feelings for Liu Yu, and overestimated the so-called mark.

The old imperial doctor felt like falling into an ice cave, and slowly uttered three words: "Yes, I'm blind."

Almost in the next second, he heard the Wolf King on the Nine Layers of Jade Steps ask again: "Do you know how to change eyes?"

The old imperial doctor suddenly raised his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "You..."

Mu Zheng climbed down the steps step by step, and walked up to the old imperial doctor, his voice was faint like a sigh, but with undeniable strength: "You exchange my king's eyes for Liu Yu."

The old imperial doctor lifted up the hem of his blood-stained clothes, bent his old and fragile knees one by one, and slowly knelt down at Mu Zheng's feet.He didn't want to look at Mu Zheng's pale face at this moment, and he didn't want to believe the look of sadness and determination in those black eyes, he just asked: "Your Majesty, don't say that I don't know how to change eyes, but Now that things have happened, do you think Liu Yu will want it?"

----------------------

"The witch doctor is dead?!" In Yongxin Palace, Mu Shan uttered an inhuman scream, and staggered towards the gate of the palace, "How could he die?! He couldn't die..."

The female officer who reported the news chased after her, only to hear Mu Shan muttering to herself: "He must have died from the killing spell, the snake killed him...he can't change my concubine's eyes at all! The killing spell... ..."

"Don't worry, big concubine," the female officer chased after her and said in a low voice, "The most important thing now is to get back the necklace on Jianglu's neck, then there are still two ways to survive."

"What way to survive?!" Mu Shan turned around and grabbed the female officer's tender little hand.

"The first is to kill the snake." The female officer said methodically, "The second is to take out a bone from the male concubine's back and feed it to the little snake. Didn't Jiang Lu say that? And you It was not him who made the contract, but the snake. As long as the snake is not dead and still wants the bone, you will not die."

"Yes," Mu Shan murmured, "Liu Yu is still in my hand, I will come personally..."

The female officer shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not right. Jiang Lu has raised the snake in this palace for two months, but he has never asked you for raw meat or bones. The snake is only as thick as a finger, and I'm afraid it will be made of a witch doctor." The secret technique refines the bones before they can be fed to the snake."

"You mean..."

"Just to be on the safe side, concubine, you need to find another member of the witch doctor tribe as soon as possible to help you raise this snake. Before that, Liu Yu must be alive. Now his eyes have been gouged out by Jianglu, and he may be useless." Now, as long as the wolf king doesn't ask, you just need to hold him for a breath, isn't half-dead also alive?"

----------------------

"Your Majesty, don't say that I don't know how to change eyes, but do you think Liu Yu will want it now?"

The old imperial doctor has left.

Above the hall, there was no one there.Mu Zheng took two steps back, and sat down on the bone-cold nine-fold jade steps, with his head down, staring at his fingers in a daze.

I thought, waiting for his ten fingers to feel pain; however, the bad luck that befell Liu Yu had been quietly forewarned in the early morning.How could the half an hour he spent pampered and waiting in the dark be equal to the pain of eye selection that Liu Yu endured?What kind of blood connection is this?

He should have gone blind together with Liu Yu.

Mu Zheng covered his eyes with his trembling hands, but the upright man was trembling like chaff, and let out a painful and desperate roar.

He hates it!He hates God's will for playing with the impermanence of the world, hates those who are full of people to turn the clouds and rain, hates the [-] wolf cavalry under his command for forcing him to raise the butcher knife to his lover, hates himself as the wolf king who sits on the world but has no ability to protect a person...

Liu Yu's eyes were gouged out.

He has seen mountains, rivers, seas and mountains and sparks in the sky, scrolls flying in the morning and evening and crows in the moonset, lingering fragrance and crazy sensuality... He has seen the deep love that cannot be described by all parallel poems and haikus, and it has been integrated into his life. Every drop of blood, every breath.

Today, there are only two empty blood holes left.

Liu Yu was so timid and afraid of pain, she must have cried.But the eyes were gouged out, did tears or blood flow out?

Mu Zheng grabbed his chest, and he clenched his fists and beat his heart with all his strength. It was so painful that he was suffocating, but it was still beating calmly, so calm that it drove him crazy.

It is the heart of an emperor, and the way of ruthlessness.

I once laughed at the foolishness of loving beauty and not loving Jiangshan.However, I just found out that no prince, general, or prime minister can survive the moment when that person lowers his head and smiles.

Mu Zheng stood up precariously, feeling that his soul had been torn in two.The wolf king in the purple crown and black robe stood on the jade steps and looked down, but there was a wounded beast in his chest, roaring and trying to rush out of the four square palace walls.

You shouldn't have seen Liu Yu.If he goes now, his previous careful consideration and forbearance and restraint will become a complete joke.If he hadn't made up his mind to ignore the Eighteen Tribes and rescue Liu Yu from the dungeon, his actions would only add fuel to Mu Shan's grievances.

But who is going to tell him what to do or not to do in this world?Is it the ambitious hegemony of Dingguo Anbang, or the involuntary feeling like a knife file? !

The passing of the past few days has almost dragged Mu Zheng's body down. He was walking forward, but his body fell backwards, and his head hit the desk hard, making a loud "bump".

The rice paper that was neatly stacked on the corner of the table flew into the air, and the ink swirled and floated in the golden palace. It was the mountains and rivers that Liu Yu had outlined for him, and it was the conclusive proof that Mu Shan sent people to the prison.This double-edged sword Dan Qing has always been placed by Mu Zheng's desk, but he never dared to look carefully at the past.

In the painting, there should have been the portrait that Liu Yu had painted for him, but it must have been destroyed by Mu Shan.

When Mu Zheng supported his body with his elbows, a piece of rice paper with creases happened to fall from the air and landed on his chest.Mu Zheng didn't think much about it, he picked up the painting and shook it flat, just now he saw clearly the few strokes of ink, but his face suddenly changed.

The painting was not finished, and he had never seen it before.However, the scenery outlined in simple strokes is familiar to the bone marrow, making him feel like falling into hell.

However, a river, a few lotus flowers - the Obon Festival two years ago, the eternal scene in his heart.
