Shen Gong Ji

In less than three days, a confidential letter was delivered to my house by a dart.At that time, I was rereading the biography of the parachutist. In the secrets I have learned these days, whether it is the royal secrets of the Yan Kingdom or the flickering words of Prince Qi, I can always see his shadow.He seems to be the core of all the secrets in the world, what kind of wonderful person such a person should be, I can't help but make me very curious.

Just when he was reading the place where he was once captured when he sent troops to pray for the country for the third time, he suddenly heard a sharp weapon piercing the air, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a letter nailed to a dart on the carved pillar.At that time, I had already dismissed all the servants, so there was no need to worry about the secret being leaked.I immediately opened the secret letter, and it really was sent by Duan Xihe.

He told me that Piaomiao Palace will escort Feng Ziji to Beijing in three days.If you want to assassinate, you must do it on the road.He also attached a road map.

After I read the letter, I burned it with a candle, and studied the road map carefully.He has already marked several of the most suitable places to start.He said that the escorts at that time were all the top assassins of Misty Palace, and if he wanted to succeed, he needed a third party to divert his attention so that he could take the opportunity to strike.

Although there is no shortage of manpower around the little emperor, all the assassins of Piaomiao Palace possess special skills, and Ouyang Qi will definitely send more manpower on his side.This witness is too important to them, and they will not allow any accidents to happen.

To be on the safe side, I have to make careful arrangements.

I chose Daishan, ten miles away from Yu County, as the location for the assassination. At that time, the team will pass through a valley between the two mountains, with dense forests on both sides, which is very suitable for a sneak attack.Besides, it is the only way to Lujing. Even if they guess that we may sneak attack, they can't change it, unless they are willing to spend two or three months to bypass Daishan, but judging from the current situation, the time is right equally important to them.In addition, Daishan is not far from Yuxian County, three days is enough time to arrive, and it is also enough to covertly, so that this action will not be made public in front of the people.

On the other hand, I handed over another simple task to Duan Xihe, and then told the little emperor the whole plan.

After he finished listening, he looked at me in surprise, as if meeting me for the first time.

"So, it was this assassin who rescued you from Qiguo's prison?"

"good."

"Only him, can he succeed?"

"Naturally, he has people under his command, and we don't lack people under our command."

He slowly stirred the red dates in the porcelain bowl with a thin silver spoon, with his eyes half-closed, he seemed to be re-examining the plan I said, looking for any possible variables.In fact, variables can be said to be everywhere, but now, the only thing to do is gamble.

He suddenly flicked the tea bowl lightly, "Okay, I will do as you said. However, I want to go in person."

"Don't go, it's very dangerous."

"No, I want to see it with my own eyes." He said stubbornly, his tone was flat, but he could not be refuted.

To be honest I saw it coming.He probably wanted to see the appearance of the last person in the world who could prove his true origin, and also wanted to defeat his opponent face to face.

So I didn't continue to persuade him, and simply nodded, "Okay, then I'll be with you."

Daishan was very peaceful that day, the sun had just risen in the middle of the sky, and the sky was still erratic with a little dark blue at dusk.The mountains stretching for hundreds of miles quietly opened their sleepy eyes, condensing into a light blue distant shadow in the thin mist.Birds shuttled back and forth in the forest, their cries seemed to have just come out of the water.

The little emperor and I were sitting in the forest, and the soldiers at the foot of the mountain had already set up an ambush. Just now the scouts reported that Ouyang Qi had arrived in person.Hearing this long-lost name still felt a bit bitter in my heart, but thinking of facing each other as an enemy for a while, I felt a little bit timid.I remained calm, and secretly glanced at the little emperor's expression.After all, they used to be "husband and wife", and now they really want to break up their friendship, I don't know what it feels like in his heart.

But judging by his unmoved appearance, the atmosphere of raising eyebrows at the time was probably just pretending, right?

In the distance, a dark team has appeared in the field of vision, slowly coming along the winding mountain road.The little emperor closely watched the opponent's every move, and when the opponent entered the ambush circle, he immediately gave orders.In an instant, the arrows flew horizontally, rushing towards the team in the two mountains like a gust of wind and rain.Since we are on a high ground, the team is like a bug in the majestic mountains, looking extremely fragile.However, this arrow attack did not seem to have achieved very good results. The opponent had already prepared, and immediately used shields to build a copper wall and iron wall, enclosing everyone in it.At the same time, commotion came from the bottom of the mountain, the sound of swords clashing, and the sound of shouting and killing echoed throughout the valley.

Someone from below came to report that Feng Ziji was escorted mainly by Ouyang Qi's people, those assassins from Piaomiao Palace sneaked into our camp quietly, and the two sides had already started fighting.My heart tightened. It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time. When we inquired about their news, they also got our information.

However, I am not surprised by the ability to obtain information from Misty Palace.

The battle situation was very bad, the assassins of Piaomiao Palace were elusive, and our soldiers fell down one after another before they had time to resist.The little emperor's expression froze, he raised his hand, and released the next wave of offensive ahead of time.In an instant, the sound of shouting and killing in the forest shook the sky, and countless screams of dying echoed in my ears.In a trance, I saw the tragic scene of corpses strewn across the fields in Beichuan City again, and a bone-piercing chill enveloped me.

Because of my words, how many lives have been ruined this time?

The time was about to come, and the little emperor suddenly stood up and walked towards the battle circle at the foot of the mountain.I also immediately ordered that my subordinates take my last bargaining chip and follow the little emperor with me.

In the chaos, another group of assassins dressed in escort uniforms quietly sneaked into Ouyang Qi's team.When they realized it, the assassins were already very close to Feng Ziji's car.I saw Duan Xihe's ghostly figure sliding towards the carriage quickly, and everyone who tried to stop him fell down like puppets.His skill is so fast that it is indescribable, I didn't even see the movement of his sword.

However, when he was trying to rush into the carriage, there was a sudden bang, and his sword was stopped.The carriage exploded under the impact of two powerful sword qi, and a golden and magnificent figure suddenly burst into my field of vision.I haven't seen her for several months, but Ouyang Qi is still so magnificent, with her black hair flying, and a long sword making her dance like a dance.I seemed to see his flying figure on the Yaowu field again, and his smile against the light when he was teaching me martial arts.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this in the end.

He was fighting with Duan Xihe, and with Duan Xihe's skills, he couldn't take much advantage.At this time, a man in Tsing Yi behind Ouyang Qi was surrounded by the guards following him, the opportunity was lost, and the assassins could no longer find a breakthrough point.

The man in Tsing Yi looked ordinary, with two beards, he was probably Feng Ziji.

At this time, a scout suddenly came to report, saying that a group of troops led by King Wei had already outflanked Lujing, and they would arrive in less than half an hour.The little emperor and I looked at each other and knew that the situation was very bad.In order to facilitate the ambush, our manpower is limited, and now there are heavy casualties.If you face Wei Wang's army, it may be more or less auspicious.

This can no longer be delayed, Feng Ziji must die!

I yelled at Ouyang Qi who was still fighting: "Ouyang Qi! Look who this is!"

When Duan Xihe heard my voice, he immediately withdrew his sword and stepped back on purpose so that Ouyang Qi could see me.

Ouyang Qi was stunned for a moment, seeming to recognize my voice, then he looked over, his eyes passed through the many figures, and met my eyes directly.

I felt a pain in my heart, and I immediately gritted my teeth to hold back, then stepped aside, revealing the person behind me.

I watched Ouyang Qi's eyes change from surprise to panic little by little.Those eyes that had always been lazy and thoughtful became confused, and their calm expression was no longer there.I know my ruse has worked.

He was distracted because he saw Mr. Hui Lian Mo who was being kidnapped behind me. At that moment, Duan Xihe took the opportunity to stab his throat with a sword, and then stopped the sword at a place very close to the skin. Hold him down completely.

When I bumped into the scene where he and Lian Moshang were together, I just thought it was a very cruel accident.But now it seems that if it weren't for this accident, we might have lost this game miserably.Ouyang Qi is a cold person, he can utter the most affectionate words while calculating in his heart.However, I know that he is sincere to Mr. Hui, because Mr. Hui is against him and will not give him any help in terms of interests.Under such circumstances, there was no need for him to confuse Lian Moshang, and it was even more impossible for him to completely fabricate such a gentle look in his eyes.

So I want to bet on Ouyang Qi's sincerity.I asked Duan Xihe to go deep into the palace last night and kidnap Lian Moshang as the last threat.And the little emperor also acquiesced in such actions, even when I told him about Ouyang Qi's personal relationship with Lian Moshang, his emotions didn't fluctuate much.

Lian Mo shouted Ouyang Qi's name in panic at that moment, his beautiful face was full of confusion.He quickly looked at the little emperor, and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, please bypass him! Please forgive him for the sake of the years of friendship! Your Majesty is willing to let His Majesty handle it!"

The little emperor looked at him, the son he loved the most in the past, but there was no emotion in his eyes.His indifference made me a little terrified.

When the guards saw that their leader had been captured, they immediately lost their morale. The little emperor looked at them coldly, and his loud and steady voice resounded throughout the field, "I will not punish anyone who abandons the dark for the light at this time!"

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and before long, several of them dropped their weapons.Their decision also affected other soldiers, and the blades fell to the ground one by one, and the sound of the tide spread in all directions.

"Hahahaha..." Ouyang Qi, who was half kneeling on the ground, suddenly laughed in a low voice, her hoarse voice was full of charm, but at this moment it was tinged with sarcasm.He raised his eyes and looked at me. There seemed to be many, many unspoken words hidden in that look, which made me tremble.

I look away.At this time, there was a faint sound of rumbling horseshoes in the valley. It was probably the sound that King Wei's men and horses were gradually approaching.Without further ado, I put my mind to the ground, with a feeling of abandonment, I pulled out the long sword from the waist of the guard beside me, and walked quickly to Feng Ziji who had already been captured.He was looking at me tremblingly, with desperate fear in his eyes, and he said with trembling lips, "Please... please... please don't..."

Before he finished speaking, I stabbed his chest with a sword.This is the first time I have personally sent a weapon into a living person's body. The sharp weapon tore through the flesh, and the resistance through the bones was so clear that I could feel the gurgling blood flowing through my fingers. , The fishy and sweet smell hit my nasal cavity violently.

He opened his eyes wide, looking at his chest as if in bewilderment.

There was silence everywhere, and everyone seemed a little frightened by my behavior.I pulled out the long sword abruptly, hot blood splashed on my cheeks, I watched the man twitch violently for a while, and then fell down, his miserable eyes had no time to close.

The blood burned my skin, but I felt chills in fits and starts.I think my face should be numb and cold, because I feel that my whole body is already frozen.

Anyway, this person was killed by me. Instead of hiding behind the scenes and letting others do it for me, it is better for me to kill him with my own hands.I want to make myself always vividly remember the feeling of killing, so that I will not become numb, and for the rest of my life, I will bear these killing karma created by me every day.

I turned my head and looked at the little emperor first.He looked at me quietly, slowly showing a smile.

When King Wei arrived later, he saw that Feng Ziji was dead, and knew that it was hopeless to bring down the little emperor, so he tried to encircle and suppress us.However, Du Leng arrived suddenly with his troops. It turned out that he was a dark game set by the little emperor, who wanted to take down the anti-party in one fell swoop after King Wei appeared.I didn't even know about such an arrangement.

Wei Wang and Ouyang Qi were imprisoned for the crime of treason, and Mr. Hui was also deposed as a son because of his affair with the noble son, and was imprisoned in Yongxiang.

When I saw Jiuluanmen again, it was still so tall and majestic, with nine door openings lined up, and the mighty motorcade below was as small as a hair.After a few months, I finally returned to the Majestic Palace, but it seemed like half my life had passed, everything seemed different.

I still remember two years ago, when I saw Jiuluanmen for the first time, how could I have imagined that behind this tall and boundless red wall, so many life and death, so many joys, sorrows and sorrows would happen?

However, today I am completely different, I don’t need to go through the side door anymore, but ride in the same chariot as the little emperor, and enter through the main palace gate in the middle of Jiuluanmen.The long doorway, the walls and the vaults are all painted with scattered flowers of heaven and man, and the bright colors are eye-catching.After passing through the doorway, we received the worship of all officials at the Xifengchang in the back. I was wearing a golden phoenix-tailed costume and a purple-gold jade crown. The little emperor of Ling, watching him open his hand, loudly ordered all officials to fall down.There was a sudden burst of satisfaction in my heart.

This world finally completely belongs to him.

And he, finally, completely belongs to me.

That night, when I returned to Fuyao Hall, Qianyi, Du Ruo and Uncle Jin all ran out to greet me.Qian Yi hugged me and cried a lot, saying that when he heard that I was captured by Zhu Ran, he thought I would never come back again, and Du Ruo also cried.Only Uncle Jin still had that vicious look, and kept saying "nonsense and nonsense", but his eyes were still red.As soon as I entered the door, the poop jumped into my arms. It seemed to have grown flesh again, and it was extremely heavy to hold.

I hugged the poop and sat down at the dinner table.The table is full of my favorite dishes.I greeted Uncle Jin and the others to sit down and eat with me.A large table of people laughed and laughed while eating. I looked at them and finally felt that my frozen hands and feet were warming up bit by bit. Those things that had deviated from the right track seemed to be back to normal again.

Three days later, the little emperor came to Fuyao Hall.He just ran over after finishing all the things at hand. I went out to meet him and had dinner together. Then he played the piano in the room, and I sat opposite him and drew.After playing for a while, he suddenly sneaked up behind me, gently wrapped his arms around my shoulders, and looked at my painting.

"Are you drawing me?"

"kindness."

"Have you not drawn enough?"

I laughed a couple of times, "I don't know what's going on, I just draw you as I draw. I wonder if I will only be able to draw you in the future."

"That's the best." He whispered into my ear.

That night, we did nothing but lie in bed cuddling each other, listening to the sound of the unfrozen waterfall dingling outside the window.The night never seemed so peaceful, as if the whole world had fallen asleep and never wanted to wake up.

"Goose book..."

"kindness?"

"How do you plan to deal with Ouyang Qi and the others?"

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Execute."

"But King Wei is your brother after all."

"What King Wei said, I intend to exile him. But Ouyang Qi had an affair with Lian Moshang first, and the crime of treason is added. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to convince the public."

My heart throbbed, and I buried my head in his arms.The bits and pieces of getting along with Ouyang Qi in a trance came up from the depths of my memory, and I was almost in tears.

"How are you going to kill him?"

"I know that he had a good relationship with you before." The little emperor stroked my hair gently, "After all, he was once my noble son. I will let him die with dignity."

"Goose book..."

"kindness?"

"Have you... ever loved Mr. Hui?"

He was silent again, this time longer than the last.

For a long while, he didn't say anything, just sighed faintly.

The day before Ouyang Qi was executed, I went to the palace where he was imprisoned.It was an empty and cold palace, and in the cold winter season, there was only one brazier.

Ouyang Qi was wearing a plain gown, leaning on the window sill, looking at a plum tree outside the window.He held a glass of amber wine in his hand, reflecting the bleak sky above his head.

The sound of my footsteps startled him.He looked at me, raised his eyebrows lazily, and his smile was as bright as ever.

"I know you will come to see me," he said.

I went to the table, poured myself a glass of wine, and sat quietly across from him.I looked at him, at his magnificent eyebrows, at his finger holding the wine glass, at his lazy posture.I know that after today, I will never see him again.

He asked me, "When did you know about me and Moshang?"

"Before you leave the palace."

"Hehe, I didn't see it."

I also smiled, but I guess it wasn't a very good smile.

We were relatively speechless, drinking in silence.He suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the unblooming plum tree branches outside the window, with a serene smile on the corner of his mouth, "Do you still remember last winter when we enjoyed plum blossoms together in Huaiyuezhou?"

I nodded, "Remember, from that day on, I put myself on your side."

"I gave you a jade pendant..."

"Well, it's a chilong jade pendant."

"Have you brought it with you?"

"Yes." I took off the jade pendant from my belt and handed it to him.

He rubbed it carefully, as if immersed in memories.I don't understand why he can still show such gentle eyes, I've seen him through, haven't I?

I hesitated for a long time, and finally asked him, "Why did you choose me?"

He looked up at me and smiled, "I thought I'd answered you many times already."

"That excuse is no longer valid." I smiled wryly, "That was just an excuse you used to win me over. The person you like is Lianmoshang, and you are just using me."

"That's right, I used you. I wanted to find out Zhao Yanshu's secret, but he already had doubts about me, so I had to use you to help me find out. You helped me find Feng Ziji, but you also forced me into it." Dead end, we're even, aren't we?"

"But I never lied to you." I felt like I couldn't pretend anymore.

He tilted his head slightly, with a half-hearted smile, "How do you know, I'm just lying to you?"

It's all come to this point, why does he still want to do this?I shook my head with a smile, stood up, and planned to leave.

"Juntian, I really like you."

I paused slightly.

"But the person I love will always be Lian Moshang."

I thought I was going to be in pain, but in the end, I just felt a twitch in my heart, and then everything was calm.I didn't look back, and slowly left the palace.

I heard that the little emperor gave Ouyang Qi three choices, and Ouyang Qi chose poisoned wine.On the day Ouyang Qi was bestowed to death, Lian Moshang also hanged himself in Yongxiang.

When the first snow fell in winter, I sat in the porch with my poo in my arms, watching the glacier-formed waterfall leaping overhead, and the sunlight was refracted into colorful icicles.The entire Majestic Palace once again fell into darkness, no matter what color it was, it was swallowed by this plain color.

Another year passed like this.
