rebirth [rebirth]

The house they chose had a cellar in the backyard, which was used by the previous owner to store winter vegetables.

When Rong Jingxuan and Zhong Qi came out of Xuanyin's wing, they saw Zhong Qi and Ning Yuanshi standing outside.

I haven't seen him for two months, and Ningyuan's [-]th is darker, and he looks stronger and stronger. It must be that the real military training has made him grow up.

Seeing the two coming out, Ning Yuan twenty respectfully performed a Rong clan salute: "My lord."

Rong Jingxuan nodded: "Twenty, long time no see, it's been a hard journey."

Ning Yuan Twenty lowered his head and said, "This is what subordinates should do."

Rong Jingxuan didn't say anything else, and went to the backyard with Xie Mingze.

Xie Mingze noticed that Ning Yuan Twenty did not compete with Zhong Qi this time, but instead made a mistake and let him go first.

Zhong Qi is older than him, and his position is comparable to him, so he should be a little more courteous.

Xie Mingze nodded secretly, and when he got out of the yard, he asked, "Did Supervisor Zhong tell you about the secret whistle?"

Ning Yuan clasped his fists in his twenties and said: "Supervisor Zhong has already given orders, and the subordinates also ordered people to start the journey, and this errand must be done well."

"Well, did he become suspicious along the way?" Rong Jingxuan asked.

"No, this subordinate told Shi Zi that he would secretly investigate the enemy's situation, and asked him to come over to assist His Majesty first." Ning Yuan Twenty replied without hesitation.

Rong Jingxuan didn't speak, and walked all the way to the backyard with his hands behind his back.

To be honest, he didn't know what to say.

He has relived so many times, faced with the country's ruin and family, and experienced countless hardships. He saw Xie Mingze die tragically before his own eyes, and held him in his arms when he was revived again.But he has never faced the traitor who betrayed him. This person is his closest relative and friend since childhood, and he used to think that he was a capable subordinate.

He was silent, thinking about what he wanted to tell him, what he wanted to tell Hua Jingshu.

He also wanted to ask him, why?

Xie Mingze took two steps forward and suddenly held his hand.

"Jingxuan, it's not your fault." Xie Mingze comforted suddenly.

This was the first time that he took the initiative to hold Rong Jingxuan's hand in front of outsiders, showing the most intimate gesture.

Rong Jingxuan's heart felt hot, wishing he could just hug him tightly, even if he didn't say anything, Xie Mingze understood his heart.

In the silent place, there is a tacit understanding.

The four soon arrived at the door of the cellar, where a small group of soldiers were guarding outside. When they saw Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze, they immediately gave a military salute: "General."

Rong Jingxuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go eat first."

When the soldiers left quickly, Rong Jingxuan looked down at the mottled board.The copper door knocker on the wooden board has rusted, and it glows orange under the moonlight.

"Open it." Rong Jingxuan sighed, and finally decided to face this "old friend" who betrayed him.

Zhong Qi stepped forward and opened the wooden board, and handed over an oil lamp.

Rong Jingxuan lowered his head and looked inside, only to see that the cellar was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He just wanted to go down, but Ning Yuan Twenty suddenly stepped forward two steps: "Master, please let the subordinates go first."

Rong Jingxuan didn't insist much, waited for him and Zhong Qi to go down and light the oil lamps first, and then walked down slowly.

The further you go down, the darkness will invade, and you will be so oppressed that you can't breathe.

Rong Jingxuan went underground, and found that this place was only the size of an inn's cubicle, and the space was very cramped. He was born tall, and if he stood up straight, he might end up in a bun.

A vague black figure huddled in the corner, bowed its head and said nothing.

Ning Yuan Twenty moved a bench over and placed it behind him: "My lord, please sit down."

Rong Jingxuan sat down with Xie Mingze and stared at Yu Xiude.

Zhong Qi and Ning Yuan Twenty looked at each other silently, Zhong Qi stayed in front of the two masters, while Ning Yuan Twenty went to drag Yu Xiude.

They are never polite to traitors.

There was a harsh sound of metal mopping the floor, and Rong Jingxuan took a closer look, only to find that his hands and feet were in shackles.

Ning Yuan Twenty effortlessly dragged him to a distance of two steps in front of Rong Jingxuan, tightly pulling the chain around his neck.

Rong Jingxuan looked at him quietly, under the dim oil lamp, his once handsome face was blurred, leaving only a broken shadow.

In his face, he can no longer find the slightest praiseworthy place.

Looking at him now, all that remains is ugly and unbearable.

"Li Zheng, do you know why you are pressed here alone?" Rong Jingxuan finally asked.

Li is Yu Xiude's character, and like his name, it was given by An Guohou himself.Xiu De Lizheng, this name contains all An Guohou's expectations for him.

Yu Xiude's face was dark and he kept silent.

Rong Jingxuan didn't say anything more, he suddenly felt that talking to him was fouling his mouth and nose, he felt extremely sick, and his mood became chaotic.

Xie Mingze patted the back of his hand lightly, but asked Yu Xiude: "Brother Lizheng, have you considered Madam Zun when you do this?"

Yu Xiude was shocked.

He raised his head abruptly, staring at Xie Mingze with his once clear and gentle eyes.

Xie Mingze was not afraid of his gaze, he sat there calmly, with his waist straight, like a long sword or a long book.

Yu Xiude gradually trembled: "Where is Shu'er? What did you do to her?"

Xie Mingze grasped it very accurately, he forced Yu Xiude to speak with one word, and made him afraid.

If a prisoner has no weaknesses, it's very difficult for them to ask any clues.

Rong Jingxuan understood what Xie Mingze meant, and suddenly sneered: "How is she, what does it have to do with you?"

Yu Xiude gritted his teeth and said, "Why is it okay? She is my first wife, Your Majesty...for the sake of our acquaintance since childhood..."

"Hahaha, it's so funny, Lizheng... brother? Why didn't you think that she was your first wife when you broke your promise? Why didn't you think that we were your first wife when you gave us clues to ambush us?"

"For the sake of our acquaintance since we were young, is the first one going to kill us?" Xie Mingze took over the conversation and said calmly, "Brother Lizheng, Brother Ze really doesn't know whether to call you shameless or dirty."

Yu Xiude seemed to be stimulated by the words of the two of them and struggled excitedly.

The iron chains on his body collided together, making a harsh sound.

Ning Yuan Twenty kicked him hard, and whispered: "Be honest."

"Rong Jingxuan, what's wrong with me doing this? The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Since you are no longer a high-ranking prince, why can't I give my life to the current emperor? Yes, we grew up together , but each of you is higher than me. One is the future emperor. I can be the commander of the imperial guards and lead a group of idiots to guard the imperial city for you."

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze looked at him quietly, since he wanted to say something, let him say it himself.

After today, he has no chance to speak.

Yu Xiude looked at the two of them gloomily, as if he had no choice but to take revenge for the heinous things they had done to him.

Yu Xiude suddenly laughed strangely: "Oh, I remembered wrongly, Xie Mingze, you are not the heir, you are his wife, you have become a queen, how about the title of Super Grade? Are you okay with being treated like a woman by him? "

The sound of "slap" was the sound of Zhong Qi slapping him across the face.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't interrupt his bad words." Zhong Qi took two steps back and walked back to Rong Jingxuan.

Rong Jingxuan shook his head, now that Yu Xiude is biting like a lunatic, he is not angry anymore.

Such a person, why bother with him?

"What benefit did Chen Shengzhi give you?" He asked.

Yu Xiude spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, and said hoarsely: "He is much happier than you. He directly promised me the hereditary throne as the prince, and also promised me to be the prime minister. One person is under ten thousand people. Why don't you say I don't die for him?"

What he said was similar to what Rong Jingxuan thought.

Apart from using this to impress people, Chen Shengzhi has nothing else to do.

"Are you naive or stupid?" Xie Mingze smiled suddenly, "The generals who have been with Chen Shengzhi in life and death, do you think who is now in high positions?"

Yu Xiude choked on Xie Mingze's words, gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Xie Mingze stood up, walked slowly in front of him, and looked down at him.

"You betrayed Jingxuan, you betrayed Da Chu, it is unfaithful. You disregard your father's order, it is unfilial. You cheat your colleagues, it is unkind. You betray your wife, it is unrighteous. Yu Xiude, disloyal, filial and unkind You have taken all the unrighteousness, if the old master knows that you have not cultivated any virtue in your life, I wonder if he will regret giving you this name."

Yu Xiude suddenly raised his head: "This is all done by me alone. It has nothing to do with father and Shu'er. You are not allowed to touch them, don't touch them."

"If I knew today, why did I have to?" Xie Mingze said, "If Da Chu is still alive, you are treason. You are familiar with Da Chu's laws and regulations, and you should know what treason is like."

"That's to destroy the Nine Clans." Rong Jingxuan said calmly behind him.

Yu Xiude turned his head and stared at Rong Jingxuan.

Xie Mingze stopped talking to him, turned around and sat beside Rong Jingxuan.

Rong Jingxuan looked at him indifferently. Although he was wearing an ordinary short jacket, he still had the style of his whole body.Every time Yu Xiude saw him, he couldn't help wanting to kneel down and salute him, calling him "Your Highness".

"You are just reincarnated better than me." Yu Xiude said suddenly, "One person does things and another person is responsible. This is my own sin, and it has nothing to do with Shu'er and father. Everyone in the Yu family and the Hua family don't know about it. I am willing I apologize with death, and beg Your Majesty to spare my relatives."

Rong Jingxuan didn't say anything, he neither nodded nor shook his head, but pulled Xie Mingze out of the cellar.

From the dark to the bright, it seemed like a long journey, and it seemed like it was just a moment. The moment he left the cellar, Xie Mingze couldn't help taking a deep breath.

In there, he found it difficult to breathe.

Rong Jingxuan took his hand, and the two walked slowly towards the east chamber. Zhong Qi followed behind them and reported in a low voice: "Madam Hua is in the east chamber, she doesn't know yet."

Rong Jingxuan waved his hand, and walked into the east chamber with Xie Mingze.

Hua Jingshu was sitting by the window doing needlework. She was only in her twenties, with a beautiful face and fair skin. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail with a simple magnolia on it.

She was so attentive when she was sewing that she didn't even notice Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze passing by the window.

Walking to the door of the wing room, Xie Mingze reached out and knocked on the door: "Third cousin, it's me."

Hua Jingshu quickly ran over to open the door, and when she looked up and saw Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze, she immediately smiled like spring flowers.

"I haven't seen you in January, you two boys are tanned, but you look handsome." She smiled and welcomed the two into the room, and was about to make tea.

Xie Mingze was really sorry for her, but he still insisted and said, "Third Cousin, don't be busy, I'll come over and say a few words with Jingxuan before leaving."

Hua Jingshu threw the needle and thread into the basket, and sat on the chair and looked at them seriously: "What do you want to say, make it so serious."

Xie Mingze and Rong Jingxuan looked at each other, and were about to speak, but Rong Jingxuan spoke first: "Sister Jingshu, what I'm going to say next, I hope you can listen calmly..."

He knew that Xie Mingze and Hua Jingshu had always had a good relationship. The two were distant cousins ​​and grew up together. This is the most suitable mouth for him.

Rong Jingxuan spoke quickly, finishing the matter in a few words.

Hua Jingshu was stunned, she sat there slumped, her eyes blushing silently.

"Actually, when I left Yong'an, I felt that something was wrong with him. He insisted on leaving home alone to find you. I said he would come with him but he still didn't agree."

Hua Jingshu spoke slowly, her tone getting weaker and weaker: "Your Majesty, Mingze, can you tell me why he is doing this?"

Rong Jingxuan shook his head: "Sister Jingshu, there are some things that I feel better when I still don't know."

She sat there quietly, huddled into a small ball, looking extremely pitiful.

"Is he... dying?"

Neither Rong Jingxuan nor Xie Mingze answered.

Hua Jingshu suddenly raised her head and said, "I want to meet him, can I?"

Although her eyes were red, her gaze was very firm. She looked at the two of them seriously, as if she had made some important decision.

Xie Mingze was afraid that she would be sadder after seeing her, so he was about to reject her, but Rong Jingxuan asked, "Sister Jingshu, are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Hua Jingshu said softly.

So Rong Jingxuan asked Zhong Qi to take her there.

The flood at night is very quiet, there is no sound of water in Chongli, but there are cicadas singing.

The two sat in the East Wing, neither of them moved.

The lanterns on the table danced, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

It was Zhong Qi who came back first, he walked over quickly, whispered something in Rong Jingxuan's ear, and then quickly backed out.

"What?" Xie Mingze asked.

Rong Jingxuan was silent for a long time, before he sighed and said: "Sister Jingshu insisted on going down to talk to Yu Xiude by herself, she came up after about a moment, and Ning Yuan went down to see that Yu Xiude had been killed One stab through the heart, dead."

Xie Mingze was silent.

Hua Jingshu has never been a weak woman, just like just now, she heard such a big thing, but she didn't cry and mourn the pain.

The door of the east chamber creaked open, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze turned their heads and saw her leaning against the door, as if they had lost all strength.

She was crying silently.

"Sister Jingshu..."

"He is not my husband, I don't have such a husband, his heart was eaten by evil spirits, so I killed him."

She cried and slowly sat down on the ground.

"I killed him, I killed him."

"My Tanlang, why are you missing?"
