Chapter 131 (1/2)
The Dragon City in October is not cold, but the autumn is strong. Xie Liancheng doesn't even take the cloak, so he takes the token and rushes into the palace. Along the way, he received a lot of scrutiny, some sighed, some sympathized, some gloated.
He came to a beautiful palace with flowers and trees.
”Sorry, no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the Lord.” Two guards in soft black armor, armed with long guns, blocked his view.
Xie Liancheng's heart gradually sank.
The servant looked at his young master's silent look. He wanted to say something, but there was a clapping voice behind him.
When the seventh Prince got off the chariot, his silver and vermilion skirt was long and swaying on the ground, which was more glorious than his hasty trip.
The color of his chin, a little bit of water in his eyes.
All the way is smooth.
Xie Liancheng's pupil shrank.
He stepped forward and the two weapons fell down again.
”Sorry, Wang Fu, you can't go in.”
The servant's face was pale, ”how can you do this...”
Xie Liancheng light smile, close the thin shirt.
”Since the Lord doesn't see me, I'll wait for him to come out.”
Who knows, it's midnight.
”Dong - Dong! Bang
The sound of the night watch came from afar, with a trace of cold, into the night.
”Young master, the wind is cold at night. Put on your cloak first. If you catch a cold, the Lord will blame the little one.” The servant took a brocade cloak and said that he would tie it on.
”She will not.” Xie Liancheng's eyes are straight ahead.
The seventh prince was coming out of the palace. He followed a slender figure, covered his shoulder with a snow-white fox fur, and tied the belt for him from behind. He looked very close.
She said that being nice to the seventh prince was just to stabilize him and make him for his own use.
Is this really the case?
The seventh prince came out and saw Xie Liancheng a little stunned, but he didn't say anything more. He got on the chariot and disappeared in the night.
Xie Liancheng closed his eyes.
Seven Prince's neck is printed with bright red blood stasis mark, he is very clear what that represents.
”Lord.”
He stopped the figure who was going to enter the palace.
”Liancheng has something to tell you. It only takes a little while.”
He called ”Lord”, not ”general”.
”You go back first, and I'll talk to you slowly when I have time.”
”Did you want to wait for my family?”
Lin Lang turned around.
In the vast night, the man wore a thin cigarette purple clothes, waist decorated with a green jade pendant, plain and light demeanor unforgettable.
”The Xie family kept the Dragon Robe privately, and his crime should be punished.” Lin Lang's face was cold, ”the son of heaven has violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Even if you want to plead for them, I will never be soft hearted. ”
”They have confessed, the evidence is solid, and they will be beheaded as soon as they arrive at noon tomorrow.”
Xie Liancheng's blood froze instantly.
He thought of his mother's serious face.
Such a woman in the officialdom ups and downs like a mountain, but when she married, she broke down in emotion, full of tears, said that she was sorry for him. In order to save the family and avoid the Queen's suspicion, she had to disobey his will and marry him to a straw bag king.
He also thought of his father.
Father said that love between people and ghosts is no good end, not only drag themselves, but also harm the family.
He didn't believe it. He ran into the hunting net foolishly and insisted on breaking his head and bleeding.
There is also his three-year-old nephew, a ghost fairy's skilful, who always teases children of the same age who make them cry. He is a real ”little devil” in the family. However, this little guy likes him unexpectedly. Whenever he goes back to the house, he will run around his feet and hide cakes with him like a dog.
The Xie family has never been rebellious, but the family is so powerful that it has always become a thorn in the eye of the superiors. They are eager to grasp a little painful foot to make a big fuss.
If he didn't rely on his parents' doting on him, and urged his family to support Lin Lang, how could they get into the situation of being involved?
A good bow hides a bird. When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.
He clearly knew this truth, but because he believed her too much, he showed all the family background of Xie family in front of her.
Different from other people's ideas, the intelligent Xie Liancheng, after thinking about the whole incident, carefully figured out the most beneficial behind the scenes.
He couldn't believe it or didn't want to believe that the pillow man who slept beside him and looked after him all day long was actually the controller of this game of scheming chess, and Xie's family was the chariot and horse doomed to give up - her relatives who wanted to kill them all.”Who the Lord really likes Is that him? ” Xie Liancheng was staring into her eyes.
”And Liancheng is the target between you.”
”The empress fought in the state of yuezhao, which made her very miserable. She also captured Mei Fei as a booty and imprisoned her in the palace. The prince loves Mei Fei deeply. Is he not reconciled? So he took Liancheng as the bait and Xie's family as the springboard to take the power of the world to himself. He gave a bad breath and no one dared to bully the prince's beloved. Can Liancheng be right about this
Lin Lang did not speak.
Xie Liancheng, however, seemed to suddenly understand and smile.
”Since these days, Liancheng has been cheated. Can the LORD have a good time?”
He knelt slowly, touching the icy floor.
”If Liancheng's foolish feelings can still amuse the king, please look at the past affection --” the most brilliant first childe of Longcheng lowered his head for the first time in his life, and put his forehead against the ground, ”give thanks to Xie's family.”
”Please be kind to the Regent.”
”Xie Liancheng is willing to fight with his life.”
He made a heavy knock on his head.
”Go back.” She said.
He didn't seem to hear, and continued to knock another.
One sound is heavier than the other.
More and more despair.
There was a crimson streak of blood on the ground.
He raised his head and blood slid down his forehead to the bridge of his nose.
”Please be kind to the Regent...”
His voice grew hoarse.
”Please be kind to the Regent...”
”Please Regent...”
Xie Liancheng wakes up again, what see is deep purple gauze, it is in his bed.
The servant son Forsythia stood aside and saw him open his eyes. He was very surprised and called out, ”young master, you are awake at last! You suddenly fainted yesterday, which scared us
Fingertip touched the bandage on the forehead, Xie Liancheng was startled, ”what time is it now?”
Forsythia faltered and did not speak.
Xie Liancheng quickly opened the quilt. His shoes and socks just stepped on the ground. He felt dizzy and almost didn't fall down. The servant quickly helped him, ”young master...”
”Come on, get the clothes, I'm going out!”
His lips trembled, and his ruddy face suddenly turned pale.
Xie's family was caught in a prison car and escorted to the chaomen gate, where princes and ministers or literati were executed.
Jian Jian Guan was a new nobleman in the imperial court, and also a confidant promoted by Lin lang. his manner was awe inspiring.
After three shots, he pulled out a token and threw it out.
It's very loud.
”It's noon, execution!”
Blood spatter.
Big and small heads tumbled to the ground.
The mess of hair stained with blood covered the face, and the scene was appalling.
Outside the crowd, Xie Liancheng looks dull.
The Xie family is down.
The two people who loved him most died in humiliation.
In addition to the five and six sisters guarding the border, all his lineage suffered, even the young children.
Why did God punish him like this?
Retribution?
He gave a sad smile. Since it was retribution, why didn't he come at him?
He is the most damned and most worthy of being cut!
The whole family's sweet words have been ruined by the whole family!
”Go back.”
There is a voice behind said gently, so gentle, familiar, as if never strange.
Xie Liancheng was sluggish, and the man took himself back.
He seems to have been drained of all his strength, in front of this enemy whose hands are stained with the blood of his family, there is not even a trace of anger.
The real heart is as if dead.
In the evening, Lin Lang stayed and fell asleep with him.
He opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed. After a long time, he listened to the cry of cicadas under the window. He reached for a dagger from under his pillow.
It was hidden in the afternoon while she was out.
He rose a little and put the sharp point of his knife against her chest.
How similar this scene is, but his mood is very different.
