Whose world is this?
It is not the world of the people, not the world of literary ministers and military generals, but the world of Zhao Deji alone! Other people are all meat on his chopping block. He can kill them if he wants
He desperately hugged his wife and wanted to crush her and stick her in his own blood. He couldn't help muttering to himself, "sister seventeen, let's go and go right away... I'll take you out of here, leave here forever, and never come back..."
She lifted her head from his arms, eyes bright, firmly stared at him, and was happy: "really? Peng Ju, we can really go? Do you really promise to go with me? We went to pick up our son, the ends of the earth, the western regions, Nanyang, Persia... The ends of the earth, there is always a place to live..." for a moment, she had a strong illusion that the man in front of her really belongs to herself, no longer a hero of the Empire, no longer a powerful general, He is just an ordinary man, without any moral responsibility, completely, carefree, and his husband follows his wife
"Peng Ju, my son is waiting for us... We can go after picking him up..." she burst into tears and couldn't say any more. Her eyes slowly dimmed as she looked at her husband For a long time, she talked to herself, just saying it to herself to comfort her confused thoughts: "no, there are Yi'an residents... There are the fourth sister of Gao... There are Zhang Xian, Yu Peng and so on... Peng Ju, we can't go..."
I can't go. How can I go? In countless strands, the flowers stuck tightly to her husband's arms, hugged his neck, and shivered with despair
Yue Pengju didn't say anything. In the heavy snow, he picked up his wife and walked forward with deep and shallow feet For a long time, he had been standing in the snow, stagnating, completely forgetting what a cold ice and snow world it was, and he had a strange idea in his heart: I hope this wind and snow road will never come to an end
The snow became denser and denser, and the two of them were white. The flowers were tightly pressed against his chest. Listening to his violent heartbeat, his robe was untied and tightly wrapped around her It was a feeling of peace. Between heaven and earth, there was no one else, and she didn't urge him. Her heart was the same as his idea: no matter how cold it was, how good it would be if this road could never be completed?
The gate of "Yiyuan" has been covered with ice tops. The heavy snow of this year is unprecedented. The southern world has completely become the sky of the north
Back home, Li Yi'an and others grabbed it. A stove was built in the house. Yue Pengju held his wife in front of the stove and looked at her compassionately I don't know how much pain my wife has suffered in her life. I thought I could bring her a stable life. Unexpectedly, I still failed
Hua Rong sat on the chair, trembling all over. Li Yi'an brought a cup of hot tea and said softly, "sister seventeen, drink..."
Hua Rong drank hot tea, looked around, beside her, Peng Ju's face, Li Yi'an's face, Gao Si's mother and son's face... And her son's faint face Her heart slowly calmed down, and she only clung to her husband's hand and did not move
Yue Peng raised his voice very quietly and called his soldier Ma Chao: "you muster everyone in your family."
"Yes."
"Yiyuan" has a total of 11 servants and servants, plus 15 soldiers, a total of 26 Several of these people have been with Yue Pengju for a long time
Yue Pengju said calmly, "today, I called you all because I knew I was doomed. You don't have to suffer with our husband and wife anymore. You all know that the Yue family had no money left in their early years. These days, my seventeen sister and I still have some surplus in the reward. Give you 50 passes each, and each of you will settle down in the future. You and others will go their own way. The soldiers can go to Ezhou to join the army, and don't need to stay with me anymore..."
Everyone was in tears and refused to leave One of the soldiers said sadly and indignantly, "I followed Yue Xianggong for more than ten years and couldn't bear to leave when the Yue family was in great trouble..."
Others also expressed their unwillingness to leave
Yue Peng raised his voice and said in a deep voice, "your kindness is from your own heart, but up to now, you must leave, otherwise, Qin Hui will be angry with you and implicate you."
The crowd still didn't go. Hua Rong stood up and slowly opened his mouth. His voice was very clear: "if you can't wait, you'll always be implicated in vain. Why bother?"
Li Yi'an and elder sister Gao Si also helped persuade them. Then they packed up their bags and dispersed separately. Ma Chao and Ma Chao refused to leave anyway
There were only a few people left in the room. Hua Rong began to arrange things behind her. The fourth sister of the high school had nothing to do with her mother and son, and gave 500 Guan; Yi'an lay also gave 500 passes
Where will they want it? With tears in his eyes, he said, "sister seventeen, don't do this. We will advance and retreat with you and Yue Xianggong."
Hua Rong shook her head. Earlier, she still hoped for Zhang Xian's survival. Now, Tianwei can't hold on. Naturally, she can't believe her promise to Jin Wushu anymore If Zhang Xian dies, why does the fourth sister of Gao make a living?
Seeing this, the fourth sister of Gao cried even more mournfully: "Why are all bad people in power? Yue Xianggong and Zhang Xian can't get good news?"
Li Yi'an wiped his tears and said angrily, "Qin Hui, the old thief is cunning, and his conscience is exhausted... Now, the emperor's poison hand is for sure, Peng Ju, you and the seventeenth sister might as well leave this place of right and wrong immediately..."
Elder sister Gao Si also wiped her tears: "Yue Xianggong, you can walk one by one. Go, go..."
Yue Peng heaved a deep sigh. As soon as he left, Yu Peng and others were about to go to the guillotine These days, he is not idle at home. Through various relationships, Qin Hui and others are afraid of his escape, and deliberately spread relevant remarks - crime does not expand As long as he doesn't escape, Yu Peng and others will have no worries
Because of this, how can you take one life and sacrifice six or seven lives such as Zhang Xian?
Hua Rong was quiet at this time. She quietly turned around and went to the kitchen to get a pot of wine. Nuo Da's Yiyuan was quiet, and there was no excitement in the past She stood at the door for a while before returning to the room. At this time, Li Yi'an and others had dispersed to prepare dinner. In the living room, only Yue Peng sat quietly
She took the wine and put it on the small stove. Silently, she looked up at her husband. In the light of the fire, but her husband's face became more and more hazy
"Seventeen elder sister..."
"Well."
Yue Peng held her hand tightly and said softly after a long time, "will you leave Lin'an?"
She avoided her husband's gaze and nodded, "I'll leave."
Yue Peng raised her dodgy eyes and sighed, "sister seventeen, it's useless for you to stay. It's better to leave right away, early, early..."
She said faintly, "don't worry, Zhao Deji claims that his guilt is less than that of his family. He wants to do bad things, and he always wants to maintain the demeanor of Renjun. He doesn't dare to do bad things openly, otherwise, he won't let me go in the Buddhist hall."
Of course, Yue Pengju knew this, but he just shook his head. He didn't want his wife to see the news of his death at all. As long as she left, she could leave safely
"Sister seventeen, don't think about revenge for me in the future..."
She smiled miserably. Since then, she has been alone. What she wants to fight is Zhao Deji's thousands of troops. Even if she wants revenge, how can she get it?
Just as the couple were talking, 300 soldiers had quietly surrounded "Yiyuan", led by Zhang Jun's best friend, Yang Yizhong, a beautiful man known as an "eunuch" who had not been castrated
But unlike Zhang Jun, Yang Yi and Yue Pengju have no personal grudges and do not want to kill him He was ordered to surround "Yiyuan" and only asked his soldiers to wait outside and enter the door alone Outside the door, there was also an empty sedan chair that gave preferential treatment to the minister
Led by Ma Chao, Yang Yizhong came to the living room. He saw Yue Pengju sitting quietly in the room, looking very calm, as if nothing had happened He was surprised, arched his hand, and hurriedly expressed his attitude, very polite: "Yue Xianggong, his family was ordered to come. Your majesty ordered you to confront some things, and the sin is not as good as the family... The sedan chair is waiting outside..." he took the imperial edict, and there was indeed Zhao Deji's original words "the sin is not as good as the family"
Hua Rong hid behind the screen and heard this sentence. Tears poured down his eyes. What family does Peng Ju have? To die here is nothing more than to exchange your own life for the life of your subordinates
Yue Peng arched his hand. "Thank you, brother Yang. I know you well when you came today. Please wait a moment outside. I'll go to the backyard and have a chat with my family."
"Please."
Yue Peng held it up and walked away. Ma Chao and others brought a pot of wine and poured one for Yang Yizhong: "Yue Xianggong, please wait for Yang Xianggong. Please drink."
Yang Yizhong took the wine and hesitated to drink it for fear that it was poisonous Ma Chao served a bottle of wine and drank it himself first: "Yang Xianggong should know Yue Xianggong's personality."
Yang Yizhong drank the wine at once: "well, Yue Wu, I'm sure I can handle it."
In the backyard, Li Yi'an, the fourth sister of Gao and the two children were crying to death. Even the two children knew that Yue Peng was going to be gone forever. One by one, he pulled his sleeve and cried, "uncle, don't go, uncle, don't go..."
Hua Rong suddenly hissed, "don't cry."
The cry subsided. Yue Peng gently hugged the two children and said softly, "your father will come out. Good boy, don't cry..."
Suddenly I thought of my son and little tiger head. Fortunately, my son stayed in an absolutely safe place But on his deathbed, he couldn't see it. No matter how iron he was, he also wet his eyes
Hua Rong tightly held his hand and wiped his eyes. "Peng Ju, don't worry, I will take good care of my son..."
His eyes lit up, as long as their mother and son are carefree, what else is worth worrying about in his life?
"Sister seventeen, you leave here immediately. Now, 'he' will not send someone to chase you..."
Indeed, Zhao Deji won't come after him because he is sure he won't leave Yes, I know his trick, but what can I do? Even the fourth sister of high school, with her family, will come to Lin'an to wait for her husband's news. What about herself? Just leave Pengju and fly away?
She calmed down and said softly, "Peng Ju, don't worry about me. My son needs someone to take care of him. I won't let him lose his father and have no mother. I will take care of him and will take good care of him alive..."
All kinds of taste, heart like a knife, Yue Pengju couldn't speak, and it took a long time to let go of his wife's hand: "sister seventeen, you promise me that you must live well."
"Well, I will!"
