Two stupid postmodern life

Before dawn, Shuo Ye returned to the hospital.

The moment she entered the room, Shuo Yue felt that he had gained something by coming back this time.

Sakuya's expression was indescribably strange, it was full of annoyance, regret, and heartache, but in the deepest part, there was a sense of ecstasy that was lost and found again.

"He's in the Feiliu Mine, I found him." Shuo Ye said calmly.

Shuo Yue: "Then why didn't you bring him back?"

"Although he is working hard there, he is safe for the time being. I gave him the natal stone and let the dark guards guard nearby. If there is any danger, I will know." Shuo Ye said calmly.

"What?" Shuo Yue exclaimed, and then she felt relieved for a moment: "Ah... yes, do you regret giving him too late?"

"Well, it was too late. If I had given Ersha earlier, these things would not have happened." Shuo Ye whispered, lying on the bed, the nerves that had been tense for a long time finally relaxed When he got down, his breathing gradually became low and regular.

Shuo Yue went over, took off his shoes and socks, covered him with a quilt, retreated to the table, and meditated.

The natal stone, just like the literal meaning, is the stone related to the life of their Xuanji clan.

Exist with their birth, die and annihilate, closely related to their life.

This stone, in normal times, is hidden somewhere in the owner's body, and can be mobilized and placed in other places with his own thoughts, but the premise is that this other place must be a living body, this living body, called holding There are.

Except that it can faithfully reflect the life state of the holder itself, the Xuanji tribe has not discovered its other advantages for hundreds of years.

The shortcoming is fatal. If this stone is damaged or damaged, it will be reflected on the owner as it is.

But there is no need to worry too much about this, because all the natal stones have always been in the owner's body. Some people will say, since the natal stone is of great significance, why not put it in a place where it will never be discovered and harmed? place.

However, don't forget the premise, the natal stone can only be placed on a living body.

May I ask if it is your natal stone, where can you put it so that you can feel at ease?

other people?Or longer-lived animals?

If it is you, are you assured of these living bodies?

So, after all the calculations, is it safest to put it in your body?

The ancestors of the past dynasties also gave the owner the life stone. At this time, it means that the owner and the holder have the determination to live together and die together.

No!Not living and dying together.

Take Ersha and his younger brother as an example, Shuo Ye gave Ersha his life stone, so if Ersha was injured or died, then everything Ersha suffered would be transferred to the life stone, and then Passing it on to Shuo Ye would not hurt Yu Ersha.

But for Shuo Ye, he was sure to die.

Therefore, the act of giving the natal stone to Ersha is to protect Ersha's life with his own life.

Fool... Crazy... Shuo Yue almost wanted to curse.

Although since coming to Semu, Shuoyue is delighted that her younger brother has become more and more humane, but it is another matter if he is so humane that he would exchange his own life for the lives of others.

Ugh…

The deal is done, as Shuo Ye's close relative, he can only do his best to stay by his side, the rest is up to fate.

Like an old father facing his helpless children, Shuo Yue sighed heavily and walked out of the room.

……

Finally, the fateful day came.

It was a very ordinary day, the morning bell rang, and the officials guarding the gate filed into Tonglan King City, crossed the square, entered the main hall, and stood in line.

"Congratulations to the lord!"

With a shout from the attendants, everyone half-kneeled to salute, Jichang entered the front hall from the back hall, and sat on the throne.

"My dear friends, what's the important thing to report." As soon as Ji Chang said a word, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a person was already standing beside him, and at the same time, his neck was slightly cold.

Jichang looked at the people of His Highness, and saw all the officials looking up at him, with joy, urgency in their eyes... or is it unimaginable?

"My dear friends, this is..." He gestured to the thin dagger on his neck: "Why is this?"

The prime minister standing at the head of the team took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "As the lord has seen, there are some things we don't understand, but we can't find the answer everywhere, so we made this bold move."

"Oh?" Jichang raised his eyebrows: "If you have any questions, you can ask them. I will try my best to answer them. Why bother to use knives and guns?"

The prime minister said sadly: "The person who asked the question before either committed suicide inexplicably or was assassinated. Are we afraid?"

"Okay, okay!" Regardless of the dagger on his neck, Jichang leaned back on the back of the throne with a lazy look: "For the sake of serving Semu for so many years, tell me, what questions do you need me to answer? "

The prime minister didn't go around in circles at all: "First of all, please remove your restriction, the lord, so that we can see your true appearance, so that we can be honest and honest."

"This is easy." After Jichang finished speaking, he didn't know how to operate it. The next moment, what appeared in front of everyone was a young stalwart man.Shuoyue pretends to be an official and hides in the team. With his excellent eyesight, he confirms that his appearance is that of Jichang who lived with Ersha.

Jichang: "What's next?"

Prime Minister: "May I ask whether the incidents of officials' self-inflicted suicides and assassinations I mentioned just now were committed by the royal family?"

...

Jichang was silent for a moment, and replied: "I am responsible, I did not do these things. I don't know if other royal families did it. You should also know that I traveled a lot in the early years, and it was only three years since I came back." time."

The prime minister was certainly not satisfied with Ji Chang's bluff to change the subject: "Is that what the regent did?"

"I don't know, you can ask the regent." Jichang resorted to the shameless tricks passed down by their ancestors.

The officials standing below became noisy, expressing their dissatisfaction with the answer, the prime minister said: "My lord, have you forgotten that you are now under our control."

Jichang turned his head to look at the dagger, and then followed the dagger to look at the man holding the dagger. The man was dressed in black and wore a black cloth covering his face, even his eyes.

"I know I'm living under someone else's roof, but if I don't know, I just don't know. You can't lie and deceive people, right? You also know that before the regent controlled the government, I rarely cared about political affairs."

Regarding Jichang's refusal to enter, the prime minister obviously had a headache: "The regent was seriously injured and unconscious. Your lord, you know this, so what is your intention?"

Jichang smiled slyly: "What if...the regent lied to us? What if...he pretended to be unconscious and tricked us into a trick?"

The prime minister looked at Ji Chang's eyes that were not smiling at all, and thought in his mind: He deliberately lured us to the regent. Obviously, there must be a trap there... No matter what, it's not too late to deal with him first and then deal with the regent.So he continued to mediate with Jichang: "On this point, I will make my own decision... However, it is a bit unreasonable for the lord to evade everything completely."

But Jichang straightened his posture and became serious: "I know why you came here. Since you asked me, I will tell you without reservation and without concealment. Lord, I have never abused any authority or ability, and I have always put people first, worked hard and loved the people. I believe everyone can see that, although my own ability is not enough to become the lord of a country, I think I am wholehearted in regards to sex." Said Then, he looked at the official in charge of taxation: "The successive openings of commercial streets have stimulated the national economy and domestic demand. How does the national tax revenue in the past two years compare with the previous ones? This year, the mining area is nationalized. How does the national treasury compare with previous years? "Then, he looked at the magistrate in the city: "Do the people live and work in peace and contentment, and how do the various cases compare with before?"

……

While Jichang asked, he looked at the officials in charge. Every time the officials were asked, they all lowered their heads. Although they didn't speak, the result was self-evident.

"So..." Jichang took a deep breath: "Even if I work so hard for the country, are you going to turn against me because of those groundless rumors?"
