On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

one year later.

In the hinterland of Buried Bone Snow Mountain, a spring is gurgling and steaming, accompanied by curling mist, converging into a small hot spring, and the spring is surrounded by a wall made of crushed stones.

There is an elevated wooden house on the north side of the wall. In front of the wooden house, a boy in blue is gathering fire to cook soup.

The pressure on the mountain was high, and the water boiled very quickly. After a while, a pot of pale yellow stagnant water was bubbling like a spring. Seeing this, the young man lifted the lid of the pot and skillfully added a few handfuls of green.

At this moment, the door of the wooden house opened, and a tall and straight man came out from inside. He yawned, stretched his waist, and raised his palms high, wide and rough. A scar formed a sharp contrast with the smooth and smooth face.

The man stretched his muscles and bones, then pouted his nose, and walked to the side of the pot in search of flavor.

"Hey, what game did you catch today, kid surnamed Lu?"

"Senior Tongchen, you're awake." Shen Lingyuan wiped the sweat from his brow with his hand, and stirred in the pot with a spoon, "I found a pheasant with dark brown vertical stripes on the top of its head in the forest this morning. It's not time to eat meat, so I caught one to make soup."

Tong Chen rubbed the bridge of his nose and thought, I'm afraid he caught a pheasant, where did the pheasant come from on the plateau glacier.

However, Shen Lingyuan has lived here for a short time after all, and it is reasonable to be unfamiliar with snow-capped creatures. Tongchen mourned for the bird in his heart for 3 minutes, and then picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the fattest thigh meat into it. own bowl.

After eating a 'chicken' leg with two bowls of soup, Tongchen burped, turned to look at Shen Lingyuan who was drinking the soup quietly, and said, "You have been here for a year, I still remember finding you in the cave I was stabbed six times in the shoulder, covered in blood, I thought I was dead, but I didn’t expect your kid to have such a life, after taking two mouthfuls of snow, I gasped again.”

Shen Lingyuan's hand holding the bowl shook unremarkably, the mountain of blood he saw before he passed out was still vivid in his mind, he forced a smile and nodded.

"You are still the same as usual, with everything on your face." Tong Chen took another sip of soup, his eyes still fixed on Shen Lingyuan.

Shen Lingyuan's back was stiff, and he chewed the chicken in his mouth twice in a concealed manner, but it was tasteless. He put down his chopsticks and said softly, "Mr. laughed."

"It doesn't matter, you are still young, you will learn to restrain yourself in the future." Shen Lingyuan stopped eating, but Tong Chen was not polite at all, and all the leftover meat in the soup went into his stomach.

Satisfied with wine and food, Tongchen crossed his legs, stared at the back of Shen Lingyuan who was tidying up the dishes, and said leisurely, "It's been a year, and you still don't plan to tell me what you came to see me for?"

The work in Shen Lingyuan's hands stopped, his eyes drooped, he looked at the rough wooden bowl in his hand for two seconds, and then continued to clean, "I'll stay here to serve you sir, isn't it good?"

"Yes, yes, but..." Tong Chen smiled slightly, raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of a flying golden eagle, and said softly, "There is a story hidden in your eyes, he told me that you will leave sooner or later. "

"Sir, are you driving me away?"

"Haha, don't you feel aggrieved by staying here to cook and wash for a homeless man?" Tong Chen picked out a thin straw from nowhere and picked his teeth indistinctly.

"Sir, you are too modest. I wrote down the art of war maps you left on the snow every night, word for word."

While talking, Shen Lingyuan packed up the dishes, put the wooden bucket back to its original position, and put the kettle on the unextinguished fire rack, then returned to kneel beside Tong Chen, "It's too late for the younger generation to thank you sir. "

Looking at Shen Lingyuan's obedient appearance, Tong Chen paused for picking his teeth, his eyes dodged slightly, then he coughed, threw away the straw, and said seriously, "Let's talk about yourself."

Shen Lingyuan lowered his head and seemed to be deliberating. After a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Sir...do you have people you can't let go of and hatred you can't erase?"

Tong Chen raised his eyebrows and was very frank: "Yes."

Shen Lingyuan asked again: "Then if the two are the same person, what should the husband do?"

This questioning was too explicit and anxious, the conversation between the two of them came to an abrupt end, a gust of wind blew up the snow, and also blew away the heat in Shen Lingyuan's eyes.

He restrained his emotions, and said softly, "It's the junior, who overstepped."

Tong Chen smiled slightly when he heard the words, he didn't blame, but discussed, "Would you like to listen to me tell a story first?"

Shen Lingyuan nodded: "Sir, please tell me."

Tong Chen took a breath, his eyes drifted, as if he was recalling.

"Once upon a time, there was a prince. His biological mother was of low status, and even he was not favored by the emperor. When his mother died, he was expelled from the palace. He grew up in the uncle's family since he was a child. I have no intention of imperial power and throne, I just want to be an ordinary person and spend the rest of my life with two or three confidantes..."

"Until he fell in love with a woman."

"That woman is the daughter of a noble family, with a noble status. Almost everyone said that she will marry the future king. The prince also heard this rumor. For the sake of his beloved woman, he changed his past idleness, kept a low profile, and finally survived the flood in Nuchuan. At that time, he offered a good strategy, so as to return to the attention of everyone, and became one of the most powerful candidates for the throne."

"Since then, he has joined forces with his uncle Wang and his best friend, step by step, nibbling away at the power of the court and the military bit by bit, until he was finally established as the prince by the emperor, and when he was about to seek the woman he liked, an accident happened. gone."

Shen Lingyuan couldn't help interjecting: "Accident?"

Tong Chen didn't care, and nodded: "Unexpectedly, a strong enemy invaded the border. At that time, there were constant floods in the country and insufficient military reserves, so it was difficult to resist the enemy's invasion. The king also planned this way, but the enemy country killed their own country and did not dare to fight and could not fight, and the compensation for the cession of land was not enough, and they also asked to marry the princess of their own country and marry their own country."

"However, the former emperor's heirs were weak, and he had no daughter for ten years. In desperation, he could only find a noble daughter of the right age among the clan and nobles to replace him. But everyone knows that the enemy country is just looking for a high-sounding excuse to go to war. No one wants to push their own daughter into the fire pit. When the ministers of all walks of life asked me to push, that proud girl of heaven became the poor wretch who was chosen to marry."

Tong Chen paused when he said this, and pointed to his own throat.

Shen Lingyuan handed over a glass of warm water understandingly, "That prince must refuse."

Tong Chen moistened his throat, and there was deep helplessness in his voice, "Yes, he must refuse, but what's the use of refusing? Although he is already a prince, the position of prince is an emperor. Yes, the country he lives in also belongs to the emperor, even if he is the son of the emperor, there is never a father and son in the heavenly family."

"In the face of conflicts of interest, state affairs always come first between father and son." Shen Lingyuan poured another cup for Tong Chen, "So that woman still married far away."

Tong Chen took a sip of warm water, exhaled white air, propped himself on the futon with satisfaction, looked at Shen Lingyuan and nodded.

Shen Lingyuan: "Then, what happened later? What happened to that prince?"

Tong Chen: "Later, this prince launched a palace coup, took away the throne, and finally became the ruler of the country."

"It's a pity that that woman is no longer here." Shen Lingyuan murmured, not without loss in his tone.

Seeing this, Tong Chen chuckled, and tapped Shen Lingyuan's head with the bottom of a wooden cup, "But the story is not over yet."

Shen Lingyuan groaned in pain, but Tongchen's words were even more surprising, "The story is not over yet?"

"That's right. Although the new emperor's relationship is not going well, the story is not over yet. He has just taken the throne, and he fell in love with another woman."

Shen Lingyuan frowned: "This time he has the ability to marry this woman back home."

"That's right, in order to marry this woman back, the new emperor destroyed her entire country."

"Destroyed, the country is destroyed?" Shen Lingyuan's phoenix eyes slightly opened, he couldn't believe that the word "destroying the country" was such an understatement in Tong Chen's mouth, and an emperor would not hesitate to launch a war to destroy a country for the sake of a woman .

"Do you think it's incredible? Are you thinking that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't be worth a country?"

Shen Lingyuan nodded honestly.

"Then what if this woman looks exactly like that noble woman who married far away?"

"Ah?" Shen Lingyuan blinked and asked in surprise, "Could it be...they are twins?"

Tong Chen shook his head: "The two of them have nothing to do with each other, and they haven't even met each other. The world is so magical. One is optimistic and positive, the other is gloomy. Two people with very different personalities have the same face. But the beautiful appearance But it didn't bring them good luck, both of them left their hometowns, and it was difficult to return to their hometowns."

When Shen Lingyuan heard this, for some reason he thought of the girl named Honghuan, and he hurriedly asked: "Then what happened next?"

"Later." Tong Chen raised his eyes, looking at the blurred red sun hidden under the thick fog in the distant sky, "Later, that woman who was forcibly married went crazy. The new emperor couldn't find her anymore. Half of her shadow. So that the new emperor's heart disease has no cure, and he finally pointed the blade at the country where the noble girl is. The story is over here."

After Shen Lingyuan heard the whole story, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He always felt that he had heard this story somewhere.

Tong Chen looked at Shen Lingyuan's expression of serious consideration, and showed a cynical smile: "Boy, do you know why I want to tell you this story?"

Shen Lingyuan raised his head and asked for advice: "Please tell me clearly, sir."

"I want to tell you that desire is not necessarily a bad thing, but suppressing desire will actually be a bad thing." Tong Chen said with his hands on his knees, stood up, and took two steps towards the wooden house.

Shen Lingyuan also hurriedly got up and followed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tong Chen turned his head, the curve of his mouth gradually receding, his eyes were as black as ink: "But just thinking about it is not enough, Shen Lingyuan, you have to understand a truth first.

If you want to subdue a madman, you have to be madder than him.In the same way, if you want to raise an evil ghost, you have to turn your heart... into a piece of purgatory. "

Tong Chen's fingers stretched from the boy's neck to the chest and heart.
