He Lingchuan nodded: "At the end of the road, everyone betrayed their relatives and separated, and finally committed suicide."
The army collapsed, and King Wei was forced into a desperate situation. He knew that Mou Guo would not leave him alive, so he simply committed suicide in front of Jin Bai, so that he could suffer less punishment and retain some dignity.
"Just committing suicide? Not being slaughtered?" Mei Fei frowned, "It was really an advantage for him to die so happily!"
"How can there be perfect revenge?" As soon as He Lingchuan said these words, he thought of He Chunhua.
In the past twenty years, how did He Chunhua calculate the hatred of exterminating his family in his heart?
Killing someone and killing your heart is the ultimate revenge. This is what Mei Fei did.
"Yes, how can it be perfect?" Mei Fei thought for a while and sighed, "That's all, he and the country he stole will collapse together. This is what I want most."
She has endured humiliation and hardship for many years, isn't it just for this moment?
Looking at her expression, it was as if the air was filled with an intoxicating sweet fragrance.
Dong Rui couldn't help but ask: "How does revenge feel?"
"Okay, great. It's ten times sweeter than honey!" Concubine Mei was still immersed in this joy. "You have no way of understanding the great joy of perfecting your merits!"
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at He Lingchuan: "Are you not from Mou State? Are you going to kill me or take me back to Mou State?"
She was the culprit behind this series of events, causing Mou State to lose its tribute. The emperor of Mou State would not let her go, right?
"All your actions are extremely heinous, and you also implicate innocent people." He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, "You dare to make this plan, have you considered the consequences in advance?"
"Of course." Concubine Mei's lips raised slightly, with a hint of madness in her eyes, "The world is unfair, so I will fight for it myself! This ending is already ten thousand times better than I imagined! Even if I am shattered to pieces at this moment, I would be happy to do so.
!”
She planted the evil cause and was prepared to bear the consequences.
She deserves everything.
She had a look of death on her face, but her neck was raised, looking particularly beautiful and white in the morning light.
He Lingchuan asked her: "What were your original plans after your revenge was successful?"
"After success? Well - I never thought about it before." Mei Fei frowned and thought for a long time, "Should I go to pay homage to my family? Tell them the good news."
“Where are your family buried?”
"Otsuka in the west of the city." Concubine Mei rested her chin on her hands, "Except for my sister. The day of her death was also her fifteenth birthday. She was dragged away by two guards. They said she was going to die anyway."
She spoke so eloquently, using a quiet and gentle voice, to tell the tragic content.
The two people beside them were silent for a long time.
Dong Rui coughed: "Where were you at that time and how could you survive?"
"It's my luck. There was a violent storm a few days ago, and a piece of the rockery at home collapsed. When Yu Wei rushed into my house, my mother hid me in the rockery. The space there is cramped, and it's so big -" Mei Fei stretched out her hand to gesture, "
——I could only hide in a child. I huddled in the rockery and didn’t dare to come out, so I watched through the small hole as the Yuwei ransacked my home and arrested my family. Thank goodness they didn’t set the fire, otherwise I would have followed them.
My parents are gone."
"What happened later, how did you become Concubine Mei?"
"I hid in the rockery for four days before I came out. My father had three sons and two daughters. If Nangong Yan hadn't killed enough people, he would definitely not give up the search. So I hid in another caravan's carriage and escaped from the country." Mei.
The concubine's smile was a little dim, "In the next few years, I suffered enough. When You Enguang found me, I didn't have a good piece of meat in my body. My cultivation talent was not good, and I could only learn light body kung fu. You Enguang
They arranged for me to go to Cixin Building for training, and then I was sent to the Western Racecourse, so that I could have an 'accidental encounter' with my father-killing enemy. Well, you all roughly know what happened next."
She skipped many details, but how a nine-year-old orphan girl survived, how she determined to take revenge, and how she took action——
This is the Golden Plains, a land abandoned by heaven known for its chaos and desolation.
Adults have to go through hardships to live here, let alone an orphan girl who has no one to rely on and can only be bullied.
Even Dong Rui didn't dare to think deeply about the hardships she had endured and the things she had encountered.
"Whether you kill me or kidnap me back to Mou State, it doesn't matter to me." Concubine Mei looked up at He Lingchuan and whispered softly, "I have always been in purgatory. If I can seek relief from you...
There’s nothing wrong with that.”
He Lingchuan looked at her carefully, then patted his sleeves and stood up, "Let's go."
Dong Rui asked: "Where to go?"
"Go south."
To the south is Weduxun City, and to the south is Julu Port.
￥￥￥￥￥
Half a day later, the sunset filled the sky.
The three of them rode on horseback, followed by the black wolf, and arrived at the large tomb in the west of the city, also called the gray tomb.
The soil here is gray-white, so most of the tombs built are also gray-white.
The afterglow of the setting sun coated the long grass and tombstones with a layer of warm red, temporarily forcing back the desolation here.
But the crow in the distance didn't understand and used a loud, rough voice as the background sound.
Dong Rui looked at He Lingchuan and secretly smiled in his heart: It's hard for a hero to be a beauty. This guy's heart is not iron-clad.
He looked at Concubine Mei and said, "The person who reported your appearance in Baiqiu is a beggar in his forties, thin and dark, with a mole on his neck. Do you recognize him?"
Mei Fei thought for a while: "A little lame when you walk?"
"Yes." In fact, Dong Rui didn't remember whether the man was lame to begin with or whether he was lame after being beaten by the military leader.
"That's a disaster victim." Concubine Mei's expression was as usual, without a trace of resentment. "Every time I opened a shed to provide relief, he would come, so he recognized me. I've also seen him grab steamed buns from other victims."
"There is no reward for being a good person." Gui Yuan ate melon seeds and handed a few to the owner. Dong Rui shook his head and asked, "Why did you open a shed to provide disaster relief?"
He heard from Ahao and the people in Xuncheng that Concubine Mei often helped victims of disasters and wanted to use her own money.
Concubine Mei glanced at him: "Do I look crazy?"
The word "yes" rolled on the tip of Dong Rui's tongue, and he almost didn't get out.
But his expression said everything. Concubine Mei said quietly: "Everyone has compassion, and they can't help themselves."
He Lingchuan suddenly said: "If you want to provide disaster relief, you can leave the palace. This will make it easier for you to move, right?"
In the past two months, Concubine Mei has been doing a lot of work herself. She also has to keep in touch with the rebel party at that time and the new monarch now, so she has to find a suitable reason to leave the palace frequently.
Disaster relief is great, so why would King Hong object to her accumulating merit for himself?
Although this old man does not practice virtue, he still knows that merit is a good thing.
Concubine Mei pursed her lips: "Is there a conflict between relieving the victims and taking revenge?"
Of course there is no conflict, why should we distinguish it so clearly, right?
