"No!" Yuan Wen felt like he was struck by lightning, and he knelt on the ground, his face ashes. He was silent for a long time, and then he slowly raised his head. He had been so cold all the way, but now his eyes were wet and red.
"Where is Meng'er? I want to see her!"
Yuan Ji's expression darkened, he took a sip of wine and chuckled, "He's dead. He died a hundred years ago."
Yuan Wen sat slumped on the ground, looking blankly at the woman aside. Her appearance was almost carved from the same mold as the one he loved. At that moment, the two figures overlapped, and long-lasting memories emerged.
He became angry, raised his spiritual pen and pointed at Yuan Ji's throat, "Meng'er has entered the Haunted Spirit Stage, how could she die so soon? Did you torture her to death?"
"Go away, don't hurt my father!" The woman stepped forward and pushed Yuan Wen's chest, but found that she couldn't push him, and was shaken back by the violent aura.
Yuan Wen wanted to have a fit, but then he thought that this was Yun Meng's only flesh and blood in the world. He felt sad in his heart, and the pen pointing at Yuan Ji fell down.
"She died of depression. It's a pity that she couldn't wait for you in the end."
Looking at the smile on Yuan Ji's face, Yuan Wen couldn't help but use the magic pen again, gritted his teeth and said: "Then you should die together!"
Mo Feng was cold and could easily cut through Yuan Ji's flesh, but there was no trace of fear on his face, instead showing a sense of relief.
"Don't!"
After hearing the woman's exclamation, Yuan Wen was unable to take action in the end, especially when he saw the expression on Yuan Ji's face, an unknown anger burned in his chest.
"Are you hiding something from me?" he asked.
Yuan Ji opened his eyes slightly and smiled softly. "What can I hide from you? I just hope that you will let Qier go because she is Yunmeng's flesh and blood."
"Qier, your name is Yuan Qi!" Yuan Wen muttered to himself as he glared at the woman, his heart extremely angry, but as if cut by a knife.
"Why, it's obviously an agreement between me and her to get a name for our future child, why should I use it on you!"
The woman knelt on the ground and sobbed softly, "Don't hurt father, he...he has no choice but to do it. For the sake of your mother, please spare us."
"Qier, don't be willful, you promised me yesterday." Yuan Ji tried his best to hold himself up, walked towards Yuan Wen, and sneered. "Yuan Wen, you are not always decisive. I will open the city gate to welcome the rebels.
, and you still haven’t taken action against your princess, could it be that you are thinking about this blood relationship?”
Yuan Wen took a deep breath. Although there was still a dull pain in his chest, he calmed down with his will. As a king, it is necessary to control his emotions. He asked in a solemn voice: "Yuan Ji, you look like this, do you want to think of me as a fool?"
Can’t make it?”
Yuan Ji took a sip of wine and said, "Fool? Ha, have you ever used your brain? Just like this time, going to a meeting alone is extremely stupid. So there is no reason why Yunji will die."
"Yuan Ji, don't forget that you also have the blood of the Yuan family. Is what you have done worthy of the souls of your ancestors?"
Yuan Ji stood up and grabbed Yuan Wen's collar with both hands. He stared coldly, but his eyes gradually darkened. "In this case, just kill me and let me apologize to my ancestors!"
At this moment, Yuan Wen saw the pain in Yuan Ji's eyes, pushed him away fiercely, and sneered: "Old thief Yuan Ji, you want to be freed from this? What about me? Where is Yunmeng? Your death will do the trick.
Have you made up for it?”
"Shut up, you have no right to talk about father!" Yuan Qi raised his face and said tremblingly: "Do you know..."
With a "pop" sound, a slap fell on her face. Yuan Ji shivered, her chest heaving violently due to excitement, and she retracted her hand angrily as if she regretted it.
"That's enough! Stop acting in front of me, it makes me sick!"
Yuan Wen roared angrily, kicked Yuan Ji to the ground, and asked with a sullen face: "What are you hiding from me? If you don't tell me, I will kill her!"
Mo Feng burst out with a cold light and landed in front of the woman. Seeing Yuan Qi's fearless look reminded him of memories from a long time ago, and his hands trembled slightly, almost cutting her face.
"Don't! Don't hurt her!"
Yuan Ji endured the discomfort in his chest, quickly climbed to Yuan Wen's feet, hugged his legs, "She...she is your blood!"
Yuan Wen's face changed and he said angrily: "Impossible! I have never heard Meng'er say that!"
"She is really your blood, why don't you believe me!" Yuan Ji roared, then laughed, with tears streaming down his face. "Kill me! Kill me quickly!"
"Father..." Yuan Qi stepped forward to help Yuan Ji up, but the old figure looked so miserable at this moment.
Yuan Ji was helped back to the throne, shook his head and sighed: "Wen'er, Wen'er, why don't you want to kill me! I am really sorry for you, and for the ancestors of the previous dynasty!"
Yuan Wen's face turned cold, "Tell me, what exactly happened back then? Once the matter is over, I will let you go!"
Yuan Ji's lips wriggled slightly and his eyes became cloudy. After being silent, he looked at the luxurious man in front of him again and said with a trembling voice.
"On that day, I received the news that my brother was killed in battle and that you were seriously injured and fled. I knew that the power of Yunji was over. Therefore, I sent a messenger to proactively sue for peace, and offered the imperial capital and the last three cities in exchange for everyone's safety. I hope to
This preserves the blood of the Yuan family."
Speaking of this, Yuan Ji's voice became hoarse, with a cry in his words. "However, on the day Lin took over the imperial capital, he killed all the Yuan clan members in front of me!"
He burst out in anger, his eyes already red. "I stood on the high platform and looked at the Yuan clan members. They all showed resentment towards me, and finally died with injustice! I hate it, I hate myself for being so stupid!"
Yuan Wen also looked angrily, "It's really stupid. My Yuan family bloodline can be killed but not surrendered. You should deserve to die if you disobey the teachings of our ancestors!"
Yuan Jixian sat down and nodded slowly. "Indeed, I also wanted to accompany them at that moment. But..."
He looked at the woman beside him, tears streaming down his face, "But your princess, Yunmeng, is pregnant. She didn't tell you because she was afraid of affecting your decision to go on the expedition. Those thieves connected her with other people.
The female concubine was brought to the high platform and they fought to snatch her! I knew she was pregnant, so I could only lie and say she was my princess."
At this point, Yuan Ji burst into tears and hammered her chest, "But...but they want me...but they want me to taint her in front of them!"
There was a "boom" and a big crater exploded in the ground.
Yuan Wen closed his eyes and suppressed his hot tears, but his trembling body still betrayed him. "So, you did such an unscrupulous thing! You raped your nephew's wife!"
Yuan Ji covered his head and his body kept shaking. "I don't know, I was very scared at the time. They were forcing me like a devil. When I came back to my senses...things had already happened!"
"It's me, it's me who's sorry for you! It's me who's sorry for my ancestors, it's me who's sorry for Yunmeng! Kill me quickly!" He knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying bitterly.
Yuan Wen, as if his heart had died, looked coldly at the old man on the ground and slowly raised Mo Feng.
"Don't do it! Please, don't kill my father!" Yuan Qi also knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Yuan Wen's eyes turned red. His own flesh and blood was pleading for someone else's mercy, and he even called that person his father. An unspeakable pain filled his chest, as if he was about to suffocate at any moment.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke, and a stream of tears finally fell down. "This man is the thief who raped your mother, and you still plead for him?"
"Father is not wrong, father is not wrong." Yuan Qi cried and took out a string of red rosary beads. "My mother told me before she died that she never blamed my father."
Yuan Ji suddenly trembled, slowly lowered his head, holding his head and crying silently.
"My father did that kind of thing because of me. Over the years, he has been persecuted everywhere and forced to be evil people outside. But he has always been meticulous about us mother and daughter, and has never been the slightest bit neglectful."
Yuan Qi said, caressing the old man's back, and cried: "I also know that my father always cries bitterly at night and tortures himself with sharp objects. I have known it for so many years... That's why I beg you, let go
Let’s live with my father! He also has his own reasons!”
Yuan Wen slowly closed his eyes, the resentment in his chest had nowhere to vent, and the pain was like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.
Although Yuan Ji looks old, he is much younger than him. When the country fell, he was just past his prime. Therefore, although he is the emperor's uncle, he usually listens to his words and follows him like a little tail.
he.
Looking back now, that young man in his early twenties has become so old. He has been suffering all these pains alone for so many years.
If you say you don’t hate it, that would be a lie, but what can you do?
Yuan Wen let go of his hand, turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he heard another call.
"Wen'er!" Yuan Ji stood up tremblingly, with tears streaming down his old face, but a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He ran straight to the man in Chinese clothes, took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed straight away.
Yuan Wen easily grabbed the old man's hand, but the dagger flew back around him and stabbed into the old man's belly.
Yuan Ji took advantage of the situation and twisted it, making his whole body tremble in pain, but it also completely eliminated the possibility of treatment.
Yuan Qi shouted loudly, flew over, hugged the old man's gradually cold body and cried bitterly.
Yuan Wen treated you coldly from beginning to end, and just asked: "I have let you go, what are you doing?"
Yuan Ji grabbed Yuan Wen's palm and used up the last bit of strength: "I... am so tired of living! Don't... don't take revenge, take Qier away! The farther you go... the better!"
Looking at the hanging arms, Yuan Wen lowered his eyes, forcibly pulled Yuan Qi up and walked out.
"What are you doing? I don't want to leave my father here! I don't want to leave him here!"
Facing Yuan Qi's roar, Yuan Wen could not suppress the anger in his heart and roared: "I am your father! His death is deserved!"
After yelling, he didn't give a chance to argue, wrapped a few people in his spiritual power, and flew out.
As soon as they left the tower, they saw the dark sky full of soldiers. The arrow tower on the city wall also turned around and pointed directly at a few people.
