Ascension

Yan Siyu walked out of the darkness covered by the eaves, and his pale face was covered with golden-red light by the rising sun.

He stepped over Wen Wen's body lying in front of the palace, where there was exactly the boundary between shadow and light, and Wen Wen, who was lying on his back, was divided into two by these two completely different scenes.

"Sorrow and sorrow, life and parting, joy and joy, death together. Life is like a dream and an illusion, the morning is like the morning dew and the evening is like the glow..."

People are always meeting, getting acquainted and parting again.

Even if someone can grow old together, when they die, they will enter the eighteenth hell, and they will probably end up in a different way.

It is better to walk this long road of life by yourself, and you will not feel lonely after parting.

Xiang Gu’s guest room in the palace was not far from the main hall of Changpei. Yan Siyu stopped in front of his door and watched the faltering candle flame inside through the window—there was only a few invisible inches left of the candle, obviously It also burns overnight.

"You know Bengong very well." Yan Siyu raised the corners of her lips and said loudly, "You know that Bengong will definitely be able to find out your connection with the former Ministry of the Deposed Emperor, and then take your secret actions lightly."

If he hadn't taken it lightly, how could he not have discovered that he secretly changed his contact information with Wen Wen, and how could he have lived to the day when he instigated Wen Wen.

The sky is getting brighter, the figure on the window is fading, and Xiang Gu's voice is so faint that no emotion can be heard: "Your Highness Minghui, Xiang always just has the idea of ​​giving it a try, it is still strange that Xiang can go so smoothly. , you came here today, and Xiang's heart is relieved. God finally helped Xiang once."

"I'm afraid you are the most unqualified person in the world to be called a thief. God has treated you generously, but you don't know how to cherish it." Yan Siyu said coldly, "Wen Wen was killed by Ben Gong just now."

"what!"

This matter was obviously beyond Xiang Gu's expectations, he let out a cry of pain and then fell silent.

"Wen Wen originally stayed outside the court. No matter whether I win or lose this battle, he can return to his rivers and lakes to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. With his own abilities, no one can do anything to him. He will die because of you ! It was you who pulled him into this game, and you forced me to kill him!"

Yan Siyu slapped her heart with every word, and while talking, she stepped up the steps, and suddenly pushed open the door!

Xiang Gu was frightened by him, he stood up suddenly from the table, brought the wine jug to the table with his arms, the sound of porcelain cracking was particularly thrilling at this moment when it was about to light up.

There were tears in his eyes, his black and white eyes were bloodshot, his slightly old figure couldn't even stand upright, he held the table with one hand, tremblingly looked up at Yan Siyu.

"You killed him."

Yan Siyu met his red eyes, the corners of her mouth gradually widened, and she smiled word by word: "Yes, you, killed, him."

Xiang Gu's cheeks twitched, and a few white hairs on the temples reflected silvery light in the sunlight.

Yan Siyu's gaze was cold, and he stretched out his hand to fix his white hair at the temples, his movements were as gentle as a lover's tenderness: "No matter how many times I say it, you don't want to be obedient, do you like punishment so much?"

Xiang Gu looked at Yan Siyu in despair, like a taut string, which was tightened bit by bit between the fingers, pulled to the limit silently, and finally broke with a "pop".

He snapped open his hand and roared, "You devil!"

He raised his fist and was about to punch Yan Siyu's half-smiling face, his flushed face was ferocious and full of fear, as if the fist was not hitting Yan Siyu, but himself.

Yan Siyu held his hand easily, narrowed her eyes and said: "Why are you angry? Wen Wen is the most powerful killer under my subordinates, he is dead, shouldn't you be happy, Xiang Gu?"

He spoke the last two words very slowly, just as slowly as he spoke with Wen Wen.

Item, ancient.

Xiang Gu was taken aback, and sneered, "You really don't know who I am?"

He knew that he was not Yan Siyu's opponent, so he wanted to die, it was better than being humiliated by him again, and he had no scruples in speaking.

"I know, I don't know." Yan Siyu grabbed his hand, pinching his wrist joints with his thumb and forefinger, his thin white fingers are as beautiful as picturesque, "After Wen Wen died, I put his body in the palace. After seven days, Liu Wan personally guarded it until it rotted and produced maggots. Moreover, your bones are thicker than his, and your facial features may change over time, but the bones of adults will only shrink after they are finalized, and will never grow again."

The dead are the most important, and he refused to let Wen Wen go until his death, and insisted on not letting him go to the ground for peace.

Xiang Gu felt his heart burning hot.He was born as a serious scribe, and he has never reached the point where he doesn't care about what happens behind him. Hearing this, his desire to die has faded away, and he just wants to tear Yan Siyu into pieces.

Yan Siyu met his fierce gaze with a smile, and said slowly: "The first time I saw you, I doubted your identity, but after getting along for a long time, this doubt faded away. Do you know why?"

Wen Wen would not do such things as self-recommendation and flattery.

Xiang Gu not only burned in his heart, but also burned badly on his face.

Yan Siyu knew him too well, and he could easily disintegrate the heart defense he had built for many years, as if the collapsed waste was stuck in the wound, making the pain even more unbearable.

Xiang Gu remembered the scene when he died, besides the humiliation and unwillingness, he probably also had a little pride, proud that he did not give in to Yan Siyu until his death.

However, when he was alive, he would send him up to be humiliated by himself, and he had to serve him with a smiling face.

When I was alone in the middle of the night, I didn't think about getting rid of this dirty capital and living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, but I stayed here all the time.Ming Tangtang said that he didn't want to see Jiangshan Sheji fall into the hands of bad people, but in his heart he wanted to take revenge on Yan Siyu.

In order to take revenge, he not only sent himself into the abyss again, but also took the life of the most innocent and honest young brother.

Xiang Gu didn't even dare to admit that he regretted it.If he really regretted it, then his lingering for the last few years would be superfluous, and all the humiliation and pain would only be caused by him, and even the only "righteousness" used to cover up his shame would be lost.

It is better to die than to live like this.

"You have changed." Yan Siyu felt the trembling of his subordinates.A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is long-suffering.Wen Wen hates him, but is not very afraid of him. Xiang Gu is so afraid of him, and whenever something goes wrong, he shakes like a pendulum. It can only be because he is afraid after he died once, and he has changed from a magnanimous gentleman to a long-term young man. People, life is worse than death.

The two of them remained silent for a while, feeling that things were different.But one is the pain of piercing the bone, and the other is the realization after seeing it through.

Yan Siyu's smile faded and she let go of her hand.He was too lazy to entangle with him anymore, and hated him for disobeying him openly and secretly, so he raised his voice, "Come on."

Immediately at the door of the empty house appeared a few well-groomed young eunuchs, nodding their heads and lowering their eyebrows, waiting for the order.

Yan Siyu frowned, and said coldly: "Put Xiang Gu down, stab the peony on his body and send it to Wen Liang."

The peony is the symbol of Princess Xiang'an, and the tattoo on her body is to let Xiang Gu remember the humiliation he suffered in Changpei Palace all his life.

Xiang Gu was completely ashamed, and when he heard Yan Siyu's words, his blushing face instantly turned pale as paper.Knowing that resistance is useless, he tremblingly was held up by the eunuchs, and before taking him away, he asked suddenly: "Aren't you afraid that I will encourage Wen Liang to turn against you again?"

"Do you think I'm so stupid that I'm defenseless against a general who holds military power?"

Xiang Gu shook his head when he heard the words, and laughed at himself, "Yes, I'm afraid it's easier for you to kill him than Wen Wen."

I thought that Wen Liang was somewhat different, but now it seems that these differences may not be a good thing for Wen Liang.

What he could do has been done.The Huainan soldier talisman fell into Yan Ye's hands. As long as Yan Ye can hold this soldier talisman until Xilu retreats, even if the gentle Sun Wu is alive, he will take advantage of the opportunity of Xilu's invasion to pull the Jianghuai army together, and face the Huainan army and Jiangbei army at the same time. Its destruction is just a snap of the fingers.

But Xilu is aggressive, can the soldier talisman in Yan Ye's hand really last till the end?In case the state of the dynasty could not be preserved, returning the soldier talisman to Wen Liang, who had led the Huainan Army for more than ten years, was also an emergency measure.

Whenever Xiang Gu thinks of this matter, he can only sigh.He doesn't have a close relationship with the deposed emperor and former ministers, and he is almost alone in relying on the memory of his previous life to complete such things as Wen Wen and Wen Wen, and he is not sure whether he can succeed.Now there are still many follow-ups to the success of the matter, but he has no intention or energy to do it. All he can do is do his best to wait for the destiny.

Perhaps he also knew that Yan Siyu was angry and did not panic, which shows that he had already had a countermeasure. To destroy Changpei Palace, it was not something he could do alone with a few brothers.

On the surface, Chang Peigong’s only reliance in the army is gentleness, but Xiang Gu has carefully checked Chang Peigong’s correspondence, and although no real evidence has been found, there are at least two letters in the private letters sent by the Pain Military News Like Wen Liang's letters, they were specially selected. They were all sealed with special wax, and the cover was also covered with secret words.

He thought for a long time before passing the news to Wen Wen who was loyal to Yan Ye.There are quite a few people in the old department of the abolished emperor who have other thoughts, and they really cannot be trusted.And Yan Ye was on every possible precaution against Yan Siyu because of the past, at least he could deal with Changpei Palace wholeheartedly.

Xiang Gu was put down by the little eunuch in a daze, no matter how exquisite his mind was, it was just a pawn on the chessboard, the direction of this game was never under his control.

All sacrifices for righteousness and nine deaths without regrets are just one move in the eyes of chess players.

"... All living beings are obsessed with thousands of illusions, and they will never regret being trapped in the world of mortals. Rolling in the world of mortals, two lines of tears accompany the body. Once the heart is broken, the tears will dry up, leaving only a pile of wasteland..."

Yan Siyu stared at the lonely wine glass on the table, and sighed faintly.

A vigorous infatuation when I was a teenager, but thinking about it now, it is as ethereal and illusory as a dream.

After the changes in the world, the name Wen Wen finally returned to what it should have been, rather than the perfection rendered by too long memories.

The author has something to say:

Wen Wen is dead, Xiang Gu is also taken care of, and Wen Liang can win without a fight if he takes care of the temperature.
