The Words of the Number One - Chapter 72
Chapter 72
Before Ji Yu started his plan of feigning death, King Song suddenly claimed that he had encountered an assassin and ordered the capital to be sealed off. A large number of imperial guards tightly controlled every corner of the capital. At the same time, a group of forbidden troops dispatched to surround Ji Yu’s mansion, and the leader invited him into the palace for questioning on the grounds that Ji Yu might have connections with the assassins.
Ji Yu said that he would first arrange to temporarily stop the affairs of the mansion, but even though the forbidden army agreed, they still surrounded the mansion tightly.
At the same time, a letter from Gu Ling came to the house with the carrier pigeon. Gu Ling contacted Ji Yu at this time, which must have happened. Ji Yu didn’t evade either, and opened the letter in front of me.
Gu Ling’s handwriting was a bit scribbled, as if he wrote it in a hurry.
The letter said that Ji Yang summoned envoys from all over the world to announce all the letters between Ji Yu and the emperor during the event of Yan’s demise, exposing the fact that Ji Yu planned the plague of the Yan royal family and Ji Yu instigated the Han clan’s rebellion. Ji Yang claimed that the country of Yan died due to the conspiracy of Ji Yu and his father, and that the land belonging to the country of Yan was taken unjustly from Zhou. sent to the country. If you can’t capture the corpse alive, you can also get the land of the five cities.
That was one-third of the land of Yan State in the past, and it was all fertile land and important towns. The last emperor relied on these powers to become strong. If it is really handed over to others for a week, it will immediately weaken and return to the previous half-dead state. How much did Ji Yang hate Ji Yu to make such a move that was close to death?
Ji Yu put down the letter paper with a grim expression, and said with a sneer, “I didn’t realize that this kid was a lunatic before. My father certainly didn’t expect that Zhou would die in the hands of his son instead of me.”
It seems that in Ji Yu’s view, he and Ji Yang don’t have any deep hatred.
The imperial guards outside the door were shouting Ji Yu’s name again, Song Guo’s action was really fast, this posture of turning his face and denying others was very Li Yan’s style. It is estimated that attacking Zhou Liyan is also going to fight, and he is also going to catch Ji Yu here.
I looked at Ji Yu worriedly, he smiled lightly and set the letter on fire, then pulled me out of the room and saw the person standing under the steps but stopped.
Standing in the courtyard, Lingshang raised her head and looked at Ji Yu tremblingly, holding a crumpled letter in her hand. She clenched the corner of her skirt and asked, “I just received…a letter from my uncle…he said…”
My heart sank.
“…He said that the Han family raised troops…the extermination of the clan…you planned it…Is this true? Son, my uncle misunderstood you, right? It was Ji Yang who framed you, right?” She stumbled at first, but the next few This question was spoken very smoothly, as if impatiently waiting for Ji Yu to deny these allegations.
Before Ji Yu asked all the girls to come here, Xia Wanbi, Nan Su, Mo Xiao and Lai Ying all came here, looking at this scene for no reason. Nan Su and Mo Xiao seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, and silently stood beside Ji Yu and me.
In Ji Yu’s silence, Ling Chang’s eyes filled with anticipation slowly turned into a precarious disbelief, and she shouted in a begging voice: “My lord, please say something.”
I looked around, and Ji Yu lowered her eyes slightly and gave a desolate smile, then raised her eyes to Lingshang: “To be precise, it was incitement rather than planning. The Han family had long been ambitious for rebellion, so I pushed them away.”
“It’s really you…” Lingshang lowered her eyes in a panic and said, “But… did you know that the Han family would fail? You know… what will happen to the Han family, don’t you?”
Ji Yu was silent for a moment, nodded and said: “Yes. It was the winner and the loser in the first place, they just couldn’t understand the situation.”
“It was all planned by the uncles of the master’s family, and we collateral families don’t know anything…”
“So they died, but you survived.” Ji Yu replied calmly.
Lingshang looked at Ji Yu in a daze as if she had never known the person in front of her. She seemed to have lost her strength and fell to the ground, holding on to the ground with tears streaming down her face and said in grief and indignation: “Yes! The master’s uncles rebelled because of their ambition. Our Han family asked for it, we deserved to be exterminated. But you son…”
She raised her eyes, her eyes were red: “You saved us but you didn’t mention what you did to the Han family. Over the years, our surviving Han family has regarded you as a benefactor and worked hard to help you run your business and collect information for you. You can pay with your life. In the end, you are one of the instigators…you…you play us like this…do you have a clear conscience!”
Ji Yu looked down at Lingshang for a moment, then walked down the steps to draw out the dagger. Lai Ying thought he was going to kill Ling Shang and hurriedly called out to Ji Yu, but Ji Yu just handed the dagger to Ling Shang.
That was his “dream death”.
“If you are really sad and angry, now I give you this chance, you can kill me.” Ji Yu said lightly.
Nan Su and Mo Xiao were shocked for a moment, and they wanted to run over but were stopped by Ji Yu raising his hand.
“Han Lingshang, I did instigate the Han family to rebel, and I knew that the Han family was about to be wiped out, but the Han family died unjustly. If the Han family is king once, will your offspring enjoy the blessing? Then Han Why didn’t you get implicated if your clan failed and your family was wiped out? I saved you and gave you money to run your business in exchange for information, so I didn’t let you down in principle.” Ji Yu’s tone was very calm.
Lingshang stood up and was about to refute, but Ji Yu said first: “But in terms of love, I do owe you. The kindness you cherish is not pure, and it is especially difficult for you to accept. So I give you this Chance, only this time, if you want to kill me, raise your dagger.”
Ji Yu touched her heart and said, “Prick here.”
Ling Chang stared at Ji Yu blankly, the hand holding the dagger trembled. Everyone stared at the two of them nervously, only Ji Yu looked indifferently.
There was only a bang, and the dagger in Lingshang’s hand fell to the ground, and she covered her eyes and cried bitterly without saying a word.
My tense heartstrings relaxed slightly. I expected that Lingshang would not be able to bear it. Thinking about it, Ji Yu also knew what she said just now because she knew she couldn’t do anything.
Ji Yu picked up the dagger and put it away, and said to Lingshang: “I will not stop you if you want to leave, but under the current situation, you will only be caught if you go out. When we leave Songdu, you can go where you want to go Bar.”
The hustle and bustle outside the courtyard became louder and louder, as if the imperial guards couldn’t wait to enter the door to search. Both Nan Su and Mo Xiao clenched their swords nervously, as if they were about to fight to the death. But Ji Yu smiled and said, “The whole city is full of forbidden soldiers, you can’t beat them.”
He turned around and took out a bottle from the study, and asked Nansu Moxiao to light up the four lamps in the yard with the kerosene in the bottle. Although Nan Su Mo Xiao was at a loss, she did it right away, and she didn’t know what kind of oil was in the bottle. When it was lit, a bright red flame rose up, which was very strange.
When the four lights were turned on, there were traces of red winding formations on the ground of the whole courtyard, and the light spread all the way to the outside of the courtyard. There were screams from the imperial army outside, as if someone was saying—it’s so hot! There was a buzz of people outside the Qiyi Pavilion, but no one could step into the courtyard.
The girls were dumbfounded, the Qimen Formation is extremely mysterious and little known to the world. I suddenly remembered that Ji Yu once proposed to make a formation for Shen Baiwu’s Xueming Pavilion, and he really did it for his own yard. I looked at Ji Yu in amazement and said, “You…”
He shook my hand reassuringly, making a hissing gesture.
Ji Yu asked the girls to follow him into the Qiyi Pavilion. After removing the heavy mahogany bookshelf in the middle of the pavilion, Ji Yu slapped a few times on different places on the wall. Secret passages.
Ji Yu led the way with a torch, and a group of eight of us walked in the dark and rugged tunnel. I walk slowly on weekdays, but at this time I was almost trotting all the way being pulled by Ji Yu. After running in the dark for an unknown amount of time, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of me. We came out of a hole and suddenly saw the light.
This is a mountainside buried in green grass, and the ground is a little rough and uninhabited. When you look up, you can see the gate of the capital of the Song Dynasty and Ji Yu’s mansion glowing red in the distance.
The tunnel of Ji Yu’s house leads directly to the mountain outside the city, even if Li Yan sent people to surround the capital and mansion tightly, it would not help.
As soon as Ji Yu came out, she asked Mo Xiaonan Su to check the situation around, but Mo Xiao said she would ask Nan Su to stay here to protect us, and when she spoke, her eyes stopped on Ling Chang.
She no longer trusts Lingshang.
Lingshang’s face turned pale, and slowly became dissatisfied. She has been by Ji Yu’s side and accompanied these girls day and night for seven or eight years. She probably feels that she is the victim but has been guarded against. Lingshang looked at the red light of the mansion, and when he looked at Ji Yu in a blink of an eye, his eyes seemed to be dyed red too.
After a long silence, Lingshang spoke slowly.
“My lord, who is it this time?
Ji Yu raised his eyes, and I held his hand, feeling a thin layer of sweat from his palm.
Seeing that Ji Yu didn’t answer, Lingshang said in grief and indignation: “Everyone knows that the Qimen Formation is a sorcery, because people are often sacrificed. Who was sacrificed by your formation just now? Is it Mo Xiao? That’s why you You sent her away, right?”
While talking, Mo Xiao came back and said that he didn’t see the defenders around, and when he heard Lingshang’s words, he sneered and said, “Sir, if you want me to sacrifice, will I not agree? Do you need to beat around the bush?”
Ji Yu didn’t want to say anything, just waved her hands and said to Lingshang: “You go, and Lai Ying, you go together. The property mentioned before is still yours.”
Lai Ying stood there at a loss, looking left and right, but Ji Yu turned around and was about to leave.
Lingshang didn’t care about those properties, she bit her lips and said angrily: “Yes, you, Mo Xiao, are willing, we are all willing, isn’t he just using us…”
Ji Yu’s body was heavy, and even though I was mentally prepared, he still brought me down to the ground. He leaned on my shoulder and spit out a mouthful of blood, which splashed warmly on our clasped hands. Autumn maple forest.
The red light covering the mansion in the city broke out in response.
Ji Yu leaned weakly on my shoulder and whispered, “Go quickly.”
The girls who were frightened by this scene came to help Ji Yu up one after another, and the voice of listening to the clothes rang out behind us.
“how is this possible…”
I looked back at her and saw that there were tears in her eyes. She realized something and murmured in disbelief: “How is it possible…”
Of course, there are sacrifices in the formation.
What Ji Yu sacrificed was himself.
Ji Yu laughed, but he didn’t look back and just said, “Han Lingshang, goodbye.”
I supported Ji Yu to go forward, Lai Ying said in a low voice: “I’m sorry Lingshang, I want to go with the young master.”
As I said that, I felt a lightness in my hand, and Lai Ying ran over to help support Ji Yu.
Standing in a light red dress, Lingshang stood in the desolate deciduous forest in late autumn, her eyes shone with trembling water. I turned around and continued walking, when I heard her whimpering.
Maybe in the end, she didn’t know whether she should hate Ji Yu or not.
