Chapter 208: Qi and Blood Reverse Flow
At this moment, An Zheng felt that he was a sinner if he didn't kill Chen Zaiyan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was at this moment that Chen Zaiyan felt that he was dead.
But in the end, neither of them moved.
The terrible silence lasted so long that it gave the illusion that this little room was hell.
An Zheng was silent for a long time and finally said: "For yourself, or for the country?"
After he asked, he regretted it, because no matter why, Chen Zaiyan was unforgivable.
Chen Zaiyan's silence is different from An Zheng's silence. An Zheng's silence was murderous, but Chen Zaiyan's silence seemed to be suffering from hell. And this hell is actually his own heart.
"There are all of them, and some of them are old books. ”
An Zheng frowned: "You killed him, but it was for him?"
Chen Zaiyan let out a long breath: "That night may be the last time I want to remember it in my life. No one knew that Lao Shangshu seemed to be fine, but he was terminally ill. He coughs up blood every day, even the imperial doctor Zhuge Chouyun has no way at all, he has tried all the methods he can try. Later, Lao Shangshu also became relieved. ”
"That night, in Lao Shangshu's study, he and I talked for a long time. He asked me what it would be like to die. I don't know, so I can't answer. Lao Shangshu said that he might have felt it, because he had already talked to the god of death. The words I said to you just now about death were not actually thought of by myself, but were exactly what Lao Shangshu said that night. ”
If the world is to change from the dead, I will be the first. But this death is going to die at the most critical time, which can make people think deeply.
If the world will change from thought, I am willing to be the first. I would like to use my death to make the world think differently and understand the fear of not knowing how to resist and not knowing how to pursue.
An Zheng was silent.
Perhaps it was precisely because he told the biggest secret in his heart that Chen Zaiyan became a little more relaxed.
"Lao Shangshu said, the Holy Hand of the world can't save my life, but I know that I am not yet the most deserving time. The people of this country have not yet sought change out of fear and insecurity, and my death will not help. But since Heaven no longer gives me time, I can only rely on my own death, hoping to arouse some thinking among the people. ”
Lao Shangshu said that if God gave him another three years, he would definitely be able to do more, and even bring down the Queen Mother. But without these three years, maybe not even three months, he must think about the aftermath. ”
An Zheng asked, "So you killed him." ”
Chen Zaiyan nodded: "Yes." ”
An Zheng sneered: "You are really his good assistant, and you are really the successor he has cultivated." ”
Chen Zaiyan said: "Everyone is afraid of death, and Lao Shangshu said that he is the same." So he knew he wouldn't be able to get through that after all, so he needed someone to help him. That night, Lao Shangshu handed me a packet of poison, which was personally configured by the imperial physician Zhuge Chouyun. Zhuge Chouyun said that after eating this poison, people will not have any pain, and they will leave as easily as if they were asleep. But even so, Lao Shangshu was still a little afraid. ”
"He gave me the medicine, and I put it in the tea. ”
Chen Zaiyan was silent for a while and then said, "Then he asked me to sit next to him so that he would have the courage to drink it." ”
For a moment, An Zheng felt that he had something blocked in his heart, and his stomach was churning, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't. He felt that Chen Zaiyan in front of him was so disgusting and sanctimonious, but there was also a demon hidden under that human skin.
Chen Zaiyan fell into a longer silence: "If you can, I want to ask you to kill me again after a while." ”
He looked at An Zheng: "If I die now, then more people will die on the front line." Once I die, the Queen Mother's people will immediately occupy the military headquarters. When the time comes, a group of people who don't know how to lead the troops at all and don't know how to operate the military department will be in power, and it will be a catastrophe for the hundreds of thousands of Dayan soldiers who are still fighting bloody battles on the front line. ”
An Zheng turned his head, not wanting to look at him again.
An Zheng pursues a state of eliminating evil, which is also his character. Is Chen Zaiyan deserving to die? Damn it! Because Chen Zaiyan's crime was not only Hao Ping'an's death, but also other people who died in the military department at that time. Most of those people were inserted by the Queen Mother, but the possibility of manslaughter cannot be ruled out. But this kind of sin, An Zheng can't get rid of him right away.
As Chen Zaiyan himself said, once Chen Zaiyan dies now, it will really be a disaster for the soldiers who are still fighting bloodily on the front line.
Who are the people who can be used by the Queen Mother? Most of them are cronies brought from Zhao State. These people are incapable of doing whatever they want once they are in power. They don't know how to operate the affairs of the military department, and they leave the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the people on the Queen Mother's side, and An Zheng can't do it anyway. Moreover, the relationship between Zhao and Yan is far from being as close as it seems on the surface, and if Yan can be weakened, Zhao will definitely be very happy. In this war between the two countries, once the two countries are defeated, this is the outcome that other small countries are willing to see.
"Do you think I'm a little disgusting?"
Chen Zaiyan smiled bitterly: "Me too...... Since Lao Shangshu left, I didn't dare to look in the mirror anymore. Every time I stand in front of the mirror, what I see in the mirror is not me, but the face of Lao Shangshu. He smiled at me and said to me that you did the right thing, but the more it happened, the more the guilt grew in my heart. ”
Chen Zaiyan raised his hand, and there were several shocking-looking wounds on his wrists: "I tried to die...... But death won't solve the problem. ”
An Zheng sighed: "I don't want to mention this matter again, just because I didn't ask." It may be more torturous for you to be alive than dead. ”
Chen Zaiyan was silent.
An Zheng took a deep breath, stood up and walked out.
Chen Zaiyan said eagerly: "Your injuries have not been treated, and the bleeding has not stopped, where are you going?"
An Zheng strode and let the blood ooze out of the bandage: "I want to go home, the home is warmer." ”
Chen Zaiyan said: "If you go back at this time, the people on the Queen Mother's side will definitely take the opportunity to kill you." ”
An Zheng shook his head: "The people who once wanted to kill me are much higher than these people now, and I still haven't died." Besides, even now I am not so easy to kill. ”
An Zheng walked out of the room, the afternoon sun was at its highest, and the sun was a little dazzling. An Zheng stepped on the sunlight and walked forward, blood flowing out from under the bandages, leaving a string of bloody footprints where he walked.
An Zheng left the Tianji Palace, even if the Tianji Palace at this moment was the safest place in the world, he was unwilling to stay, not a minute or a second. He didn't want to see Chen Zaiyan's face, nor did he want to see Mu Changyan's face. Neither of them is a villain, but they are not all the way to fighting with An. They are actually a type of wicked people, although most of the time they look like good people. But when they have no choice for their own ends, they will also do evil, and all means will not be excluded.
Leaving the Tianji Palace, An Zheng didn't feel much lighter. When he went out of the palace gate, he asked the guards about it, and the guards replied that they hadn't seen Feng Xiuyang from the Taishang Dojo and Nie Qing from the Martial Academy come back until now. After the two of them fought in the Tianji Palace for a while, because there were more and more guards gathered around, Feng Xiuyang left the Tianji Palace, and Nie Qing followed closely behind.
An Zheng thanked him, and then staggered back.
Now it seems that Feng Xiuyang must have known the whole thing. He lured Nie Qing away first, but this was only the first step. He took advantage of the battle with Nie Qing to attract some of the guards of the Heavenly Pole Palace. As a result, when the assassins rushed out, the guards on the south gate tower could not cope with it. Before the Assassins attacked, Feng Xiuyang left first, which was to clear up the relationship with himself.
Until now, everything is just speculation, and no one can prove that Feng Xiuyang has anything to do with the assassination.
The person An Zheng wants to see most now is not Nie Qing or Feng Xiuyang, but Chen Shaobai.
"We'll see you again at the Autumn Ceremony, but you may not recognize me then. ”
This sentence reappeared in An Zheng's mind...... What kind of role did Chen Shaobai play? It seemed that Mu Changyan also trusted him, but why did he help Feng Xiuyang lure Nie Qing away?
Yan Guo can't be compared with Daxi, but An Zheng has only now discovered that the undercurrent hidden under the surface calm in this small country doesn't need the stability of Daxi's side at all. And it is precisely because the royal family is weak that once this undercurrent breaks out, it will be a disaster for a small country like Yan Kingdom. Daxi is different, the imperial power is stable, no one can shake the status of the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo, and no one can shake the status of the Chen family of the imperial family, so no matter how presumptuous the people of the big family in Daxi are, they dare not touch that bottom line.
Halfway through, An Zheng finally couldn't hold on.
The excessive blood loss made him more and more weak. Fortunately, the Blood Peizhu Bracelet shared some of the damage for him, otherwise he would not even be able to move now even if he didn't die. Just when An Zheng thought he was going to fall, the blood bead bracelet shone again. The light was very dim, bright and uncertain, but a warm current began to pour from the bracelet towards An Zheng's body. At first, An Zheng thought it was the medicinal power of the medicine field contained in the blood bead bracelet, but after a few seconds, An Zheng realized that something was wrong.
That's not medicine, it's blood!
The blood bead bracelet is replenishing the blood of An Zheng!
But that doesn't make sense...... Lao Huo once said that this blood bead bracelet is the most evil artifact, between an artifact and a magic weapon. Once the previous master has cast a curse, the new master will nourish the previous master with his own blood until the previous master is resurrected or brought back to life. Of course, this is just a legend, and Lao Huo has never seen it with his own eyes.
But An Zheng knew that Lao Huo would not say anything, and I was afraid that no one in this world knew more about these artifacts than Lao Huo. Therefore, An Zheng's blood qi should have been sucked away by the blood peizhu bracelet, why is it regurgitating now?!
Not only An Zheng was stunned, but at this time, in the cave in Cangman Mountain, the middle-aged man who was lying in the crystal coffin with his eyes closed also opened his eyes suddenly.
"How is this possible?"
The middle-aged man with a mighty appearance looked puzzled: "It is impossible for the power of the curse to have problems, why does the blood qi still flow back?"
As he opened his eyes, all the people sitting around the crystal coffin recovered from their frozen state, and they stood up straight and bowed: "Meet the Holy Lord." ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand: "It's nothing, you just continue to settle down, I just don't understand some things." But it didn't matter, and by now, I didn't rely entirely on that boy to replenish my blood. ”
He glanced sideways, and there was a cage made of meteorite not far from the crystal coffin, and the stone spirit who had made a big fuss about the Tianji Palace of the Yan Kingdom before looked at him with a frightened expression. The stone spirit looked like he had lost a lot of weight, and his qi and blood were lost. It wore a necklace around its neck, the same one that An Zheng had given up at the beginning. And the necklace and the blood bead bracelet are the same thing.
"What a strange boy. ”
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and after pondering for a while, he still felt that he couldn't figure it out, so he closed his eyes again and lay back in the crystal coffin. And the stone spirit, pitifully curled up in the meteoric iron cage, his eyes were helpless.
