Mr. Identity Series

The prince on the side stepped forward calmly, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said leisurely: "Besides, it is impossible for Qi Kang to visit him again. If he dies, wouldn't our success come to naught? According to Erchen's intention, Mo Ruo interrupted his plan." His hamstrings have ruined his martial arts, making him completely crippled, the more miserable he is, the more heartache Qi Kang will suffer in the future, what does the emperor think?"

The emperor looked at his son, and after a while there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he nodded and said: "What Jin'er said is very much in line with my wishes, Shi Wei, I will do as the prince said."

"Yes." Shi Wei agreed.Accompanied by the old emperor, he walked a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "The emperor's complexion is much better these days than before. It is really a blessing for our country and the people."

The emperor laughed a few times, and said triumphantly: "Don't say it, I really feel better after adjusting the prescription in the imperial hospital, hum, each of them refused to serve me with all their heart, and finally killed a few of them before they were willing to let me in." Take this helpful medicine."

The two walked forward while talking.Here Zhao Jinfang put away the smile on his face and let out a sigh of relief slowly.

Then he quickly looked back at the quarry, and then turned around to catch up with the footsteps of the emperor and Shi Wei.While silently saying in his heart: "Sir, forgive the student who can only use such a cruel way to save your life. It is really in front of the father, if you are not cruel, you will show your flaws. It's just that you have to be patient for a while, the father is wholehearted. Just wanting to be comfortable, forcing the Tai Hospital to come up with tiger wolf prescriptions, and now his life is probably at stake, student... will never let Mr. suffer too much..."

◇

After the new year, the weather became colder and colder. A heavy snow fell, three or four inches thick, and the north wind whizzed past, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.This is also very rare in the weather in the south of the Yangtze River.

Shui Wuyou leaned against the old mottled cold wall, his body was already so frozen that he lost consciousness.The torn cotton wadding on his body could not block the cold wind coming in through the cracks in the window.

His throat was itchy, he coughed with all his strength, a few mouthfuls of blood fell on the straw mat under him, the spots were like plum blossoms in full bloom, extremely beautiful.

Consciousness seems to have been frozen, and my mind is as astringent as a paste.However, for some reason, some past events that had passed for a long time suddenly became very clear.

The affectionate voice of the young man seemed to be still in my ears: "Sir, after drinking this glass of wine, we will become a real family. From then on, we will share wealth, adversity, life and death. Even under the nine springs, we must Let's go to the afterlife together hand in hand. People say that the mountains have no edges, and the heaven and the earth are united, so they dare to break up with you. But I want to say, even if the mountains have no edges, and the heavens and the earth unite, I will... never let you down."

"That's natural. Even if you want to escape, I will never let you go. Not only will I haunt you in this life, but I will also haunt you in the next life, and in the next life, life after life..."

"Wuyou, I have an illusion. It seems that if we keep walking like this, we can slowly walk to the end of time under the moonlight."

He still remembers the night when they walked back to the Prince's Mansion slowly, the night was as cold as water, and the moonlight was alluring, the shadows of the two of them were drawn so long by the moonlight, so long, so long, as if... they could really take them to walk together. Like forever.

Shui Wuyou couldn't help smiling, and he remembered that on the night of his wedding, Xiao Minzi specially brought candied fruit, saying that it was Qi Kang's order, in case he was so hungry that he would eat in the room, and he would eat in the room later. Ominous.

Sighing in his heart, Shui Wuyou couldn't help thinking: I was so careful that day, lest I bump into something, which would be unlucky, and would lead to separation after marriage, so I didn't dare to move anything, but what happened today? , but still a life and death?

Kang'er, I'm afraid... I'm leaving, I'm tired, I can't go on, I can't grow old with you in this life.If there is fate, we will be entangled in the next life.I only hope that at that time I wasn't Shui Wuyou, and you weren't Qi Kang, we...we were just a pair of ordinary teenagers, we knew each other, knew each other, fell in love with each other, holding hands for a lifetime, we could grow old together...

Shui Wuyou's chapped lips couldn't say anything, they could only move slightly, he could only try to maintain a little sobriety in his heart, murmured, repeated his wish, as if in this way, he could Waiting for Qi Kang at the foot of the Nine Springs, waiting for him to cross the bridge of Naihe hand in hand with him.a family of scholars

"Sir..." In the gradually blurred consciousness, a loud cry suddenly came, Shui Wuyou's heart trembled, and he opened his eyes with the last bit of strength, but the handsome young man who appeared in his sight was not the one he remembered A face, although, this face is so familiar.

He really wanted to talk, but Shui Wuyou couldn't hold on any longer. When he closed his eyes, he heard the young man's anxious voice shouting in his ears: "Imperial doctor, send it to the imperial doctor..."

◇

"Your Highness, the frontier came to report that after the death of the tyrant Zhao Ting, there was another heavy snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago, because no one there has ever experienced such a heavy snow, so it is really hard. Not a small disaster. The general feels that the emperor is afraid to call his highness to discuss the matter of attacking the Jiangnan Kingdom, and this is definitely a good time."

The general on the opposite side was gearing up excitedly, but Qi Kang seemed to have never heard of it.The border is very far away from the capital, and the heavy snow in the south of the Yangtze River should have happened half a month ago.

Qi Kang was a little worried, wondering if Shui Wuyou's thin body could support him through this cold winter.After thinking about it, he has kung fu, so...he shouldn't have an accident so easily, right?

While he was in a trance, he suddenly saw Yang Qing walking in, his expression was very strange, he bowed and said after entering, "See His Royal Highness, Your Highness, I have something to report to Your Highness."

Qi Kang came back to his senses, the general had already known the opportunity to resign, so only Qi Kang and Xiao Minzi were left in the room.

"What is it?" Qi Kang sighed, he is very upset now, all he thinks about is Shui Wuyou, other things, he really doesn't want to hear anything, let alone understand it with his heart.

"Your Highness, my cousin came to see me today. He told me a strange thing."

Yang Qing came to Qi Kang's side and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you know, my cousin is a businessman who travels between Jiangnan and Ran Guo. He has also been to our house a few times, and he knows Shui Wuyou and Ding Dong... ..."

Before Yang Qing could finish speaking, Xiao Minzi said anxiously: "Yang Qing, what exactly do you want to say?" While talking, he gave him a wink, thinking that you didn't see the impatience on His Royal Highness's face?What are you talking about?Waiting to be a punching bag, isn't it?

Yang Qing paused, ignored Xiao Minzi's gesture, and continued: "He was in the south of the Yangtze River a while ago. When the new emperor ascended the throne and issued an edict to the world, he happened to be in the crowd. Just now he told me that standing on the throne of the emperor The person next to him is... the boy named Ding Dong who used to follow... Shui Wuyou."

As soon as this remark came out, both Qi Kang and Xiao Minzi were taken aback.Xiao Minzi pursed his lips and said: "I said Yang Qing, are you confused? Although Ding Dong was sent back with Shui Wuyou, but he is just a servant, oh, don't you just enter the palace and become a eunuch? Then It's possible."

Yang Qing said anxiously: "I asked my cousin the same thing, but he said that he was not a eunuch. He also asked his friends, and they all said that it was the color of a fourth-rank guard with a knife. He...he became a newcomer. The bodyguard next to the emperor, and at such a young age, is the fourth grade, my cousin said, it is absolutely true that he read it right, Your Highness, don’t you think this is a bit weird?”

Qi Kang stood up slowly, then sat down slowly, his slender fingers tapped the table slowly, this was his usual thinking habit.Xiao Minzi and Yang Qing saw that his complexion was getting worse and worse, more and more frightening, and at the end suddenly became bloodless. They couldn't help being terrified and inexplicable in their hearts, but they couldn't say anything. dare not say.

"Wuyou..." Suddenly Qi Kang yelled and stood up, picked up the cloak on the hanger, and shouted repeatedly: "Prepare the horse, Yang Qing, take fifteen iron masks, follow me to Jiangnan immediately."

"This... What the hell is going on here? Yang Qing, have you eaten the guts of a leopard? Don't let me report to the emperor, just let your highness run out like this, and when you come back, let the emperor know the letter, and cut it off first. You, cut me down again, ouch, I’ve dragged you down to death, I’m sorry that the fifty army sticks didn’t beat you to death when you came back from Jiangnan last time, aren’t you a bit reconciled?”

On the way to the south of the Yangtze River, Xiao Minzi finally managed to complain bitterly in Yang Qing's ear while eating.

Yang Qing glanced at him silently, then suddenly put down the steamed bun in his hand, and saw Qi Kang sitting under a tree in the distance, he whispered: "Don't complain. Can it really be like what you said, am I tired of living?"

"You still have reason? What reason do you have? What's going on? I'm still covered in clouds and mist." Xiao Minzi was so angry and worried that he couldn't eat anymore.

Yang Qing sighed, and said in a deep voice: "That day we went to the valley to ambush, defeated the sneak attacking Jiangnan army, and killed General Feiying. It was a brilliant record, but we didn't expect that our camp was also at the same time. Was attacked by the Jiangnan army.”

Xiao Minzi nodded: "That's right, it's not about the Crown Princess, oh, is it Mr. Shui's letter to Tou? Otherwise, why would His Highness be willing to send him back to the south of the Yangtze River and never see each other again?"

Yang Qing bowed his head and said: "Actually, there is an unreasonable thing in this matter. It is why the husband sent two letters to the Jiangnan coach at the same time, but he has always been extremely smart. If he is cautious, he may One of the letters was intercepted, so it is possible to send it separately. Besides, we did suffer a big loss, and the Jiangnan Army didn't get any advantage, which means that the two letters he sent were true and betrayed us. country's actions."

Xiao Minzi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, this is the only explanation, right?"

Yang Qing nodded and said: "No, because of this, His Highness sent him back, even though he was framed by a traitor arranged by our court, turned from a meritorious person into a guilty person, and was sent to the quarry to be tortured, His Highness It hurts my heart and lungs, but I can't save him."

Xiao Minzi sighed, "That's not true. After His Royal Highness came back from Jiangnan, he just tried to cover it up. I'm worried that if he suppresses himself like this, he will get sick sooner or later."

"But now suddenly there is news that Ding Dong has become a fourth-rank bodyguard with a knife. This is different."

Yang Qing continued to speak, and before he finished speaking, Xiao Minzi came to his senses and said in shock, "You mean...you mean..."

Yang Qing didn't wait for him to finish, so she nodded, raised her index finger to her lips to signal him to whisper, then turned her head to look at Qi Kang in the distance, then turned her head and lowered her voice, "That's right, we both Ignored Ding Dong, because he has always been Mr.'s servant, and he didn't see any abilities on weekdays, so no one suspected him. But think about it now, with that cruel and suspicious character of Zhao Ting, how could he Can you rest assured that Mister will be an undercover agent alone? Maybe Ding Dong is a dark chess player by Mr.'s side, but Mister doesn't know it."

"Then... you mean, Mr. was sold by that Ding Dong? He didn't actually cooperate with the enemy?" Xiao Minzi's expression changed drastically when he said this, and he couldn't help covering his mouth, because this kind of He really didn't dare to imagine the situation, no wonder Qi Kang rushed to Jiangnan in such a hurry.

"It is certain that Mr. sent a letter to the Jiangnan Army. The letter stating our grain and grass depot was indeed found from the small colonel who came out of his tent, but you must understand that the Jiangnan Army was retreating steadily at that time. If Mr. only Giving the map of the grain depot and allowing them to attack successfully will only delay our attack, so that the Jiangnan army will have a chance to breathe. He is an old minister of Jiangnan. Excuse me..."

Xiao Minzi nodded, this time he understood thoroughly, and said through gritted teeth: "I know, the map of the grain and grass depot is the news passed by the master, but the deployment map of our army was given by Ding Dang. The Jiangnan army divides into two groups and attacks The one who attacked the grain depot failed, but the one who attacked our camp succeeded, so Mr. became a traitor and was sent to the quarry as a slave, but Ding Dong became a great hero, and became a fourth-rank guard with a sword..."

When he said this, he suddenly raised his fist and slammed it on the ground, roaring in a low voice: "Ding Dong, Ding Dong, I can't see that you have such a vicious heart and brilliant wit, I... I have been wrong all along. about you……"

Yang Qing said: "I was lucky for that Wang Qiao before. I thought that this guy was really powerful. He sent Mr. Wang into the quarry with only a good tongue and the failure of the grain and grass depot. Now that I think about it, that Zhao Although Ting is cruel and suspicious, even our emperor said that he is as cunning as a fox. If Mr. really gave them the deployment plan of our army, how could he believe Wang Qiao's one-sided words and punish Mr. Alas, it is only to blame... ...We authorities are delusional, but...we didn't see through this point."

Little Minzi was about to say something when he heard Qi Kang yelling, "Let's go." After he finished speaking, he got on his horse first, but he galloped away without waiting for the guards who had just stood up.

◇

In February in the Nanjing capital of Jiangnan, there is still a little bit of spring cold, but the branches are already covered with buds, the willows are full of flowers, and everyone has put on thin spring clothes. Where is the snow disaster more than a month ago? trace.

Finally, he saw the Lingta quarry from a distance. For some reason, the further he came here, the more flustered Qi Kang became.He thought of Shui Wuyou who he saw a few months ago, he was very afraid that he would never see him again this time, he was so afraid that he didn't even dare to urge his horse forward.But he had to force himself to suppress the fear of being close to home, just because he knew too well that even if Shui Wuyou was alive, he didn't have much time left, and he had to rescue him as soon as possible.

Finally came to the cliff, standing on the place where they stood a few months ago, Qi Kang and Yang Qing's little minzi anxiously searched.

It was the morning at this time, and the huge quarry was bustling with slaves working. There were hundreds of people. The three of them searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the familiar figure.

"What's going on? Did you cut your hair? Or maybe you lost weight, so you can't recognize it?"

Xiao Minzi muttered impatiently, but Qi Kang's heart sank inch by inch. He felt as if his head was about to explode, and all his thoughts seemed to freeze, because he had already discovered that these people Among them, there are not many who are as thin as Shui Wuyou, and even if there are two, they are not him.

It's just that he didn't dare to face up to the most likely answer no matter what, he even took two steps forward impatiently, thinking that he couldn't find it, he jumped off the cliff and searched one by one in the crowd, regardless of whether he would cause trouble. The turmoil exposed his identity. He doesn't want to think about anything now, he just wants to rescue the poor lover who has been wronged by him and has nowhere to stay in prison.

Suddenly there was a sound of chaotic footsteps behind him, sometimes accompanied by the sound of a sword being unsheathed and cutting through the air.Qi Kang, Yang Qing and Xiao Minzi suddenly turned around, and saw a handsome young man in a bright yellow dragon robe standing not far behind them.

This young man has a gentle smile on his face, making him look like a piece of the finest jade, but in his eyes, there is a faint hint of the fierceness of the king's land to guide the country, like a peerless magic weapon hidden in a scabbard , this conflicting feeling increased his sense of oppression, at least Xiao Minzi felt that he was a little out of breath.

"Zhao Jin?" Qi Kang suddenly spit out these two words softly, his eyes staring at the young man opposite him without blinking.

Zhao Jin?The newly enthroned emperor of the Jiangnan Kingdom?Xiao Minzi's eyes widened, thinking that the other party is actually such an extraordinary person. It seems that the war between our country Ran and Jiangnan will continue for decades. Compared with his father, this person seems to be even better .

"Qi Kang." Zhao Jin on the opposite side smiled slightly. A few guards behind him wanted to step forward, but he gently raised his hand to stop him. He also stared into Qi Kang's eyes, and then slowly said: "I am very I admire your courage, and of course, I admire your affection even more, but these are... all useless."

"What do you mean?" Qi Kang's heart was pulled hard in an instant, and he could hardly stand up due to the pain.He had to desperately tell himself: no, no...it won't be what you think, Zhao Jin just wants you to mess yourself up first, it will never be what you think.If he didn't think this way, he felt that he would not be able to stay awake at all.

"I know what you're looking for." Zhao Jin smiled softly, "You're looking for him. But what I want to tell you is that you don't need to look any further, because he will never appear in this place again."

"Where did he go?" Qi Kang's eyes widened suddenly. He stared at Zhao Jin desperately and hopefully as if grasping at the last straw. It seemed that if he asked, the other party would give He Shui Wuyou was just the answer to leaving here and going to another place.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed.

"Where did you go? Who knows?" Zhao Jin smiled bitterly, then sighed again, then looked at Gao Tian Baiyun, and said softly: "He values ​​love and righteousness, maybe he went to heaven. But he betrayed His own country, therefore, may also go to hell. But there is one thing I am sure of, that is, he will never turn back on the road to Huangquan, because in this world, there is no one or anything worthy of his nostalgia.”

These words were like a thunderbolt and a sledgehammer, hitting Qi Kang fiercely, smashing the last hope in his heart.In an instant, he couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, he felt that his heart was torn into tens of thousands of pieces, his grief went deep into the marrow of his bone marrow, and his qi and blood surged up from his dantian. A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Zhao Jin looked at him with some pity, then he turned his head gently, and said to Ding Dong standing behind him: "Guard Shi, how do you feel in your heart at this moment?"

Ding Dang quickly put away the shock on his face, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, I don't have any feelings about the turtle in the urn. I just want to ask the emperor, he... really... seriously..." For some reason, Even though he hated and disdained that traitorous minister in his heart, he couldn't say the last three words.

"It's true." Zhao Jin sighed, "Sir, I went there the night I became the throne, and I was in his cell at that time. I was going to rescue him, but I didn't expect that I could only send him for the last time." Procedure."

Ding Dong stopped talking, lowered his head, his eye circles were a little red, but immediately put away his sad look, and said softly: "Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?"

Zhao Jin didn't answer him, but just looked at Qi Kang who was barely standing with his sword.

It took a long time before Qi Kang raised his head. There was still blood on the corner of his mouth, but he wiped it away. There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, and even his tone of voice was flat. He just asked word for word like that. : "I want to know, what did he... say at the last moment? And how... to describe it? Did he... have enough to eat... did he... wear decent clothes ..."

As soon as this question came out, Xiao Minzi couldn't help crying bitterly, Yang Qing's tears also fell, but Qi Kang didn't cry, he still just stared at Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin sighed again, shook his head and said, "Why do you bother to ask these things? You clearly know that this place is a hell on earth. Not to mention that his martial arts are useless, his hamstring... well, in short, he didn't treat me in the end. I said a word, because... when I went to see him, he was speechless..."

"Ding Dang, you are not as good as a beast..." Xiao Minzi suddenly roared, and yelled at Ding Dong who was standing beside Zhao Jin and listening dumbfoundedly, "How kind is Mr. to you? But you framed him. In the end let him be so desolate and lonely... to die, I... I will kill you to avenge my husband, I will kill you..."

After Xiao Minzi finished speaking, he pulled out the sword from Qi Kang's waist and was about to rush over. The next moment, Qi Kang grabbed his hand, and he shouted with red eyes: "Your Highness, I...we are going to die here today!" , I also have to slaughter this beast that betrays the owner for glory, Your Highness, we have to avenge the husband before we have the face to meet him..." Please respect the fruits of other people's labor and do not spread it at will. If you like this book, please buy the original version.

"If you want revenge, kill me." Qi Kang held Xiao Minzi's hand holding the knife. He looked so calm at the moment. No, it is not appropriate to describe it as calm. The correct one is , It should be a kind of stagnant heart with all thoughts of despair, it is the numbness after people have lost their mind and soul, leaving only a body.

"Your Highness..." Xiao Minzi's eyes turned red, he pointed at Ding Dong and gritted his teeth, "It's obviously that beast... It's obvious that he framed Mr...."

Before finishing speaking, Ding Dang on the opposite side said calmly: "Are you saying I am a beast? Maybe, it is true that I let the young master fall into a place of eternal doom and die in hell. But as an undercover agent in the south of the Yangtze River, these things were originally That should be what I want to do. My son, he gave up the righteousness of the country for the sake of love. Instead of letting him suffer for the rest of his life, it is better to die now to seek relief. All the causes and effects are planted by him himself. I am worthy of the country and I am worthy of him, blame him for being smart all his life, and he didn't see my true face in the end, otherwise, if he could see my true identity that day, I will be the one who suffers at this moment. I will never blame him, just like my husband did not blame me when he was in trouble."

"You bastard..." Xiao Minzi was even more furious, even Yang Qing who was beside him couldn't help but stepped forward to give Ding Dong a sword.

But seeing Qi Kang looking at Ding Dong coldly, he turned his eyes away after a long while and said: "Yes, you are right. Damn it...it's not you, but me. If I believed him that day, he would won't die..."

Zhao Jin took a step forward and said leisurely: "Do you want to die? I won't stop you, but I won't allow you to die in Jiangnan. I came here today, just to see what the person who made my husband fall in love with looks like." , not to take you. Qi Kang, you go."

Qi Kang's body shook for a while, but he stabilized quickly, his lips trembled slightly, and it took a long while before he was finally able to speak.

"His... bones... I mean... where are Wuyou's bones...? I... I want to take him back, have a good... burial, let his... soul... live in his innermost Familiar, favorite place..."

Zhao Jin was silent for a while, then Fang softly said: "Qi Kang, it's not that I'm unkind. It's just that... the emperor's father made a decree that day, because of his crime of treason, so... he will not be buried. The body of Mr. Throw it in the mountain forest, at this time... I'm afraid it has already turned into a pile of bones. Even if you go, you won't be able to recognize it among the bones all over the mountain. ...There may not be any left..."

When Zhao Jin said this, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, and felt that Ding Dong's body beside him was also trembling violently. He heard him call out "Young master...", his voice was choked up, but the tears did not fall in the end.

Xiao Minzi started crying heart-piercingly, and Qi Kang spat out another mouthful of blood.Then he slowly wiped away the blood around his mouth, supported Yang Qing's shoulder, and said desolately: "Let's... let's go..."

"Yes..." Yang Qing suppressed his grief, and felt the body supporting him tremble violently. He knew that Qi Kang's heart was full of holes and blood at this time. If he didn't refuse to show weakness in front of Zhao Jin, he could only I'm afraid he's already unconscious.
