Chapter 218 The Covenant of the Taki River(1/2)
Qin Lang knew she misunderstood: "What happened last night?"
Bai Yugong said: "Are you really confused or pretending to be confused? Last night, Long Xixi sneaked into Yongchun Garden and killed the emperor."
"Do you believe it?" Qin Lang asked back.
Bai Yugong thought about it and actually didn't believe it. She had met Long Xixi last night, but she didn't feel anything unusual about Long Xixi. If she hated Long Shixing for the Qing King, shouldn't she even hate herself?
Qin Lang said: "How can we know where the emperor is? You didn't say that, do you think Xixi can do such a thing without me knowing it, and then ignore whether I will be implicated and escape alone?"
Bai Yugong thought about it again and whispered: "The husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away when the disaster comes."
Qin Lang said laughing and crying: "I can't tell you clearly."
Bai Yugong heard the discrimination against his IQ in his words and said angrily: "Why can't you explain it clearly? You continue."
Qin Lang said: "Although Xixi is dissatisfied with the royal family, the death of King Qing has nothing to do with the emperor. She also knows that the emperor is an insane person. How could he kill him to vent his anger? And what are the benefits of killing him?"
Bai Yugong said, "How could it be so coincidental that I lent you the cloak, and then this happened."
Qin Lang said: "You'd better not say anything like this. If you let someone know, you might think that we are conspiring to kill the regency."
Bai Yugong said: "What does it have to do with me? Why did I kill my brother?" She had no feelings for Long Shixiang, and even though she was still a little sad after all, she learned about his death.
Qin Lang said: "Don't forget, who will make the most profit after his death?"
Bai Yu Palace saw Qin Lang staring at him with sharp eyes and said in surprise: "You mean me..."
"You are the first heir to the throne."
Bai Yugong quickly shook his head: "I haven't thought about it, oh, I'm so annoying, who would think like you?" He said, but he already agreed with Qin Lang's words in his heart.
Qin Lang said: "Firstly, it was King Liang, then King Qing, and then it was the emperor's turn. All three of them were killed. You will take it for granted. You will be the future Empress of Dayong."
Baiyu Palace had actually thought of this for a long time, but no one pointed it out in front of her until now. She didn't want to be an empress from the bottom of her heart. She said with a sad face: "Qin Lang, you have to help me. I don't want to be an emperor, and I didn't kill them. I don't want to be a puppet of Xiao Zirong. Let's run away, take me to escape, and escape to a place they can't find."
"Then what?"
Bai Yu Palace understood what Qin Lang meant wrongly, and blushed and said, "Then... do whatever you want, I will listen to you." At this time, she actually expressed her feelings to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang was speechless: "I dare to conclude that something must be strange about this. Xixi must have been framed. Are you willing to help me?"
Bai Yugong nodded: "Nonsense, whom I won't help you?"
Qin Lang said: "Now my every move is under their surveillance. I am not convenient for me to come forward. You have to do some things for me."
Bai Yugong said, "Tell me, I'll go now."
Qin Lang secretly explained a few things to her ear.
Chen Hutu and Gu Xiefei came outside Wanhua Tower and slapped the door of Wanhua Tower repeatedly. No one responded for a long time. When he looked at each other, Chen Hutu kicked the door open. He and Gu Xiefei walked into it. A cold wind blew in the face with a smell of blood. The corpse was lying everywhere in Wanhua Tower. Gu Xiefei grabbed a female corpse lying on the ground and turned her face and saw that the female corpse was like an orange dried on the wind, with wrinkles on her face, and the body was shriveled, obviously sucking the soul power.
The two of them were examined for the bodies one by one, and all of them were like this, and none of them were spared.
Gu Xiefei took a breath and said, "Who is this? He is so cruel?"
Chen Hutu said: "Qin Lang is right, the whole thing is a conspiracy."
Gu Xiefei said: "Behind the Wanhualou is the Holy Light Sect. Some people dare to do this and openly become enemies of the Holy Light Sect. How could Li Qingshui swallow this?"
Chen Hutu said, "There should be no living people here, let's go to Prince Qing's Mansion to take a look."
After Baiyu Palace conveyed the things Qin Lang ordered to his brothers, he immediately set out to the palace. In fact, countless people were staring at her every move. As soon as Baiyu Palace returned to the palace, An Gaoqiu came up in a panic: "Oh, Princess, you are back, the Queen Mother is looking for you."
Bai Yu Palace said angrily: "What did she ask me for?" He thought to himself that she should prepare for the emperor's funeral at this time? However, judging from what she saw and heard when she just left the palace, the news of the emperor's death did not spread.
An Gaoqiu said: "Little ancestor, you should go quickly. If the Empress Dowager starts anger, the young ones can't afford to take care of it."
Bai Yugong rolled his eyes at him: "You arranged the people who followed me?"
An Gaoqiu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not tracking, it's protection."
Bai Yugong said impatiently: "Let's go, take me to see her."
Xiao Zirong had already changed into a black suit and sat alone in Cining Palace, his heart was turbulent and undulating like a tide. Long Shixiang's death was not in her plan, and the development of the situation was completely out of her control.
She began to realize that she was just a puppet, and she wanted to get rid of Li Qingshui's control, but instead got deeper and deeper. A strange idea was repeatedly tormenting her soul.
If she loses her body, people will gradually lose their feelings. She is indifferent to Long Shixiang's death. Long Shixiang is not her flesh and blood, so it is not surprising, but she no longer has the kind of family affection in the Baiyu Palace and is becoming more and more indifferent to everything around her. What she thought was important in the past seemed to be not that important to her.
Lu Xingqiao's words resounded in her mind.
"No matter how exquisite this armor barrier is, it can deceive everyone's eyes, but you are not a human being after all, and you will always be a shameful alien."
Xiao Zirong closed his eyes hard, and the nails on his right hand were deeply pinched into the palm of his left hand. He felt no pain. He was just a bone. This armor barrier had nothing to do with her.
Li Qingshui is her nightmare, but when the nightmare finally woke up, Lu Xingqiao was a demon who was like a fake, dragging her into the abyss where there was no sun. Who was he? Why did he pretend to be Lu Xingqiao?
"Your Highness, Princess, is here!" The little eunuch's announcement sounded outside.
Xiao Zirong took a deep breath. Her daughter was here. In her daughter's eyes, she was Xiao Zirong. Maybe she even regarded her as the murderer of her biological mother. Xiao Zirong could see that the hatred hidden deep in her daughter's eyes was not well-informed after all, and she was not well-hidden enough.
When she reaches her age, experiences feelings, betrayal, and life and death, she will truly mature at that time, but what can she do if she matures? She is still covered in bruises and even becomes a bone skeleton like herself?
Xiao Zirong quietly reminded herself that I am Bai Huixin, but soon she denied it in her heart. She was neither Bai Huixin nor Xiao Zirong. She was just a monster in human skin. If a person escaped into a monk and cut off his connection with the world, then death of a person means saying goodbye to all the past. She was just a resentful spirit who had to be kept in the world. There was no love in her heart, and the only thing left was hatred for this world.
She once thought she had it, but what about reality? This contradictory thought repeatedly tortures her.
Bai Yu Palace is very respectful to Xiao Zixuan on the surface. Although she is not well-informed in the world, she already knows how to seek profit and avoid harm. If she is a little unbearable, she will make a big plan. With her current strength, it is impossible to complete the revenge plan.
Xiao Zirong said: "Yu Palace, sit."
Bai Yugong sat down beside her and said respectfully: "What instructions do you have to ask me for my mother?"
Xiao Zirong said: "You have already known about Your Majesty's affairs?"
Bai Yu Palace said: "I don't know if it's true or not?" Although there was a rumor in the palace, it has not been announced publicly yet.
Xiao Zixuan nodded: "Your Majesty has passed away."
Bai Yugong actually didn't feel much sadness in her heart. In her opinion, Long Shixiang was Xiao Zirong's son. It was Xiao Zirong's retribution when he died. Of course, he did not have the happiness he imagined in his heart, after all, he was her younger brother.
"How could it be so sudden?"
Xiao Zirong said: "The Ai family has asked someone to block the news because they are worried that the situation in Da Yong is turbulent, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. After discussing with several ministers of the responsible, the Ai family decided that you would ascend the throne."
Bai Yu Palace was actually mentally prepared after seeing Qin Lang just now. She resisted the throne from the bottom of her heart. When she heard Xiao Zisha say this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "That won't work, that won't work. I don't want to be it, and I don't have the ability."
Xiao Zirong sighed from the bottom of his heart that this girl really has no desire for power. She really can't imagine how she and Sang Jingtian would have such a daughter. If someone else heard that she could ascend the throne, I don't know how happy she would be.
Xiao Zixuan said: "You decide whether to become the emperor after hearing what the Ai family said."
Bai Yugong nodded and made up his mind that this emperor would never be a puppet for her, and she was not stupid, so she would not be a puppet for this woman at her mercy.
Xiao Zirong said: "According to the rules of the Dayong royal family, you are the first heir to the throne. Of course, you can take it or not. The Ai family will not force you. You should also know some of the death of Your Majesty. The truth is that when he was treating him in Tingtaoyuan last night, Long Xixi sneaked into the assassination, and it was Long Xixi who killed him."
Bai Yugong thought to himself that Qin Lang said that Long Xixi would not kill the monarch, and this matter was probably a false accusation. Bai Yugong believed in Qin Lang, but there were too many things that could not be explained clearly in this matter.
Xiao Zixuan said: "Killing the lord is a serious crime. If Long Xixi is caught, it will not be enough to vent the hatred of the Ai family. Now that Long Xixi has escaped, how do you think the Ai family will deal with her family?"
Bai Yugong was asked, how could she not understand that Long Xixi's family is currently Qin Lang. His wife ran away by killing the monarch, and Qin Lang would take all the blame. Xiao Zirong could cut Long Xixi into pieces and Qin Lang into pieces.
Xiao Zirong said: "The Ai family knows your thoughts. If you ascend the throne, you are the emperor of Dayong. Whether this matter is implicated in Qin Lang or not, or not to kill him is all within your mind."
It can be said that Xiao Zirong thought about Bai Yu Palace very thoroughly, knowing that this girl valued the most in her heart, Qin Lang, and wanted her to ascend the throne obediently. Only this method could make her willing.
Bai Yugong looked at Xiao Zirong and couldn't help but think that if I ascend the throne and become the emperor of Dayong, I can protect Qin Lang and I can also avenge my mother.
Bai Yugong said: "Can you guarantee that your mother will not hurt Qin Lang?"
Xiao Zirong said: "You promised to receive the imperial seal. You are the emperor of Dayong. Not to mention those ministers, even the Ai family will listen to you."
Bai Yugong pursed his lips and finally nodded, "Okay, I agree!"
Qin Lang walked out of Jinyuan, and no one forced him to be confined. Qin Lang did not forget the appointment of the Takihe River. Liu Jiuyang, the commander of the Jinlin Guard, took the initiative to propose to fight He Shanming. Qin Lang felt depressed by Long Xixi's affairs. He didn't know where his beautiful wife was, and whether she had escaped safely?
He needs to find a way to relieve stress, and this duel with Liu Jiuyang came at the right time.
Qin Lang knew that this battle of Takihe would definitely not be short of spectators, so he rode the Black Wind to the agreed place.
After Qin Lang left, a warrior from the Ministry of Justice immediately followed him from afar.
Qin Lang turned over and got off the horse on the banks of the Long River. After the New Year, the temperature began to rise. Even so, the Long River had not yet opened.
Qin Lang saw a lonely figure in He's heart from afar.
Liu Jiuyang really came as promised.
Qin Lang had never seen Liu Jiuyang before. Because of his long-term care at home, he was not as famous as the deputy commanders He Shanming and Yuan Menkun.
Liu Jiuyang is 31 years old, tall and thin, with a sick look on his face. He is wearing a half-new blue warrior uniform and holding a long sword wrapped in black cloth in his hand.
Qin Lang walked towards Liu Jiuyang slowly, stopped about ten feet away from him, and smiled and said, "Is Commander Liu?"
Liu Jiuyang clasped his fists and said, "Liu Jiuyang!"
Qin Lang returned the courtesy and said, "Qin Lang!" He looked up at the white sun: "I didn't seem to be late."
Liu Jiuyang said: "I came for an hour first. I am used to familiarizing myself with the surrounding environment before fighting, how the weather is, how strong the wind is, where the sun will appear, how thick the ice is, how much power it can carry, and only by knowing yourself and the others can you win a hundred battles."
"I admire you! I admire you!"
Liu Jiuyang said: "Do you know why I came for He Shanming?"
Qin Lang said: "You are not for He Shanming, you are for Jinlinwei."
