Gongsun Huan pointed to the corpse and expressed his thoughts.
Shangguan Shaoqin frowned after hesitating and said: "It's useless - if it were me, I would never let you live, no matter how great your contribution is, so even if you give away the things, Jin Yiwei will also
I can’t spare you.”
The Thousand-faced Dharma King of the Xuantian Sect and the head of the Gongsun Family, no matter who they were, could not be favored by Jinyiwei. The only reason why the other party chose to accept Gongsun Huan, in Shangguan Shaoqin's opinion, could only be to invite him to the urn.
Gongsun Huan didn't care about this at all. He said: "I never thought about reconciling with Jin Yiwei and asked Brother Shangguan to send this thing. I just thought it would increase my bargaining chip."
Shangguan Shaoqin shook his head when he heard this: "You are asking for your own death. I finally managed to get Shangguan's family out. If it is just to be targeted by Junior Sister again, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
Gongsun Huan did not think so. He said: "However, it will be very difficult for Brother Shangguan to escape unscathed. You can borrow this thing to borrow flowers and offer it to Buddha. You must know that Jin Yiwei is also very jealous of that Highness."
Shangguan Shaoqin frowned and fell into deep thought, seeming to be thinking about the pros and cons. Gongsun Huan was not in a hurry and just waited quietly for the other party's answer.
After a while, Shangguan Shaoqin did not give the answer he wanted, but asked instead: "You are willing to go to this point, is it really just to save your life?"
"of course not."
Gongsun Huan's expression changed. His eyes were full of suppressed anger and self-deprecation for his powerlessness, just like when he left.
Shangguan Shaoqin was silent. He understood what the other party was thinking. As time passed, they all had new ideas, but Gongsun Huan still stayed where he was.
"The love between children in the world is really harmful to people." Shangguan Shaoqin had a sarcastic smile on his lips, but there was some unconcealable loneliness in his mocking eyes.
"I was wrong back then, and we were all wrong."
Gongsun Huan raised his head, his heavy eyes full of pain. He slowly clenched his fists on the table and said with a ferocious expression: "This is a mistake I made, so I must correct it.
"
"Be on guard in the forbidden area. There are Imperial Guards in front of you and Imperial Guards behind you. You are talking nonsense. With your status, if you step into the capital area, you will be stared at by the Imperial Guards. There is no possibility of success." Shangguan Shaoqin said calmly.
Gongsun Huan lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave this to Brother Shangguan."
"I'll try my best." Shangguan Shaoqin stood up and returned the salute.
Gongsun Huan nodded and put on the mask again. He stood up and walked to the door. Before leaving, he said to himself: "Maybe I shouldn't have saved her back then, otherwise nothing would have happened."
occur."
After the words fell, Gongsun Huan's figure had disappeared in a gust of wind. Shangguan Shaoqin looked at the place where the other party left, and a burst of contemptuous laughter suddenly burst out from his silent face.
"Another idiot who thinks too highly of himself." Shangguan Shaoqin murmured. Then, he looked towards the hiding place outside the door and said calmly: "Come in."
Fu Zhangyi's figure flashed up. He came to Shangguan Shaoqin and knelt down to apologize: "I was worried about my master's safety and made the decision without authorization. Please forgive me, master."
"No need, he already knew you were hiding it."
Shangguan Shaoqin waved his hand and said: "Since you heard it, then go and run."
Father Fu nodded, and then looked at the lifeless but normal puppet, a bit of surprise and fear inevitably flashed in his eyes: "Master, it's a long way to the capital, and the capital is very important... With you...
I'm afraid it won't be easy with such a burden."
"I didn't ask you to go to Jinyiwei. I wanted you to go see the people from the East Palace."
Shangguan Shaoqin's words were shocking. He raised a curtain to cover the doll: "I will find someone to send this thing to the Jin Yiwei."
"This...Master, why is this?" Fu Zhangyi asked in confusion.
Shangguan Shaoqin's intentions have been made clear through some operations a while ago. It would be better to say that the family leader's goal has always been clear, which is to get out of the quagmire and save his wealth and life.
For this purpose, staying away from the East Palace and the Xuantian Sect was the top priority, so Shangguan Shaoqin had almost no interaction with them in these years except for necessary business.
For such a big matter this time, it would have been best for Shangguan Shaoqin to keep silent. Why did he go to the East Palace to talk more?
Fu Zhangyi's doubts were not answered. Shangguan Shaoqin just glanced at him: "I will write a letter to you. You must deliver it to the people in the East Palace. Go down first."
"...Yes." Seeing Shangguan Shaoqin's firm attitude, Fu Zhangyi did not dare to say anything and immediately withdrew.
Shangguan Shaoqin sat back in front of the tea table again. Facing the empty room, he suddenly laughed out loud, with a touch of desolation and sadness in his laughter.
He and Gongsun Huan had not seen each other for nearly decades. The last time they met was in the academy in Jiangnan. Looking back, that time was like a fairy tale.
They are taught by contemporary great scholars, and their classmates are all outstanding people. They are dressed in bright clothes and angry horses. In the past, they gave guidance to the nobles of the court, and later they followed the knights in the rivers and lakes to ride horses. There are even more beauties in front of them. The young man is in love, and the painting is full of love in the south of the Yangtze River.
close.
Time is like a dream, and I don’t know what the world is when I sink into it. Therefore, it is even more painful when I wake up. A little rumor and selfish desires make a young life almost disappear.
Shangguan Shaoqin remembered clearly that Huangfu Ling'er, now the crown princess and the former second daughter of the Huangfu family, "died" once, and it was Gongsun Huan who saved her.
This is indeed his contribution, and it is also the reason why people in the world who know about that past value him.
It was also from that time that everything changed. The disciples of the academy were no longer innocent. Qiao Shifang joined His Highness's command, Fang Huayu ran away boldly, Qi Yunzhou lived alone, and Shangguan Shaoqin became a deserter in disgrace and left.
to the academy.
Recalling those days, the youthful love is still the best scene in my memory. Shangguan Shaoqin, who studied under Bai Mei, was also the suitor of Huangfu Ling'er, the most beautiful woman in the world.
It's just that Bai Yun Cang Gou has lost the affection between his children and his children. The classmates he regarded as brothers when he was young are now just objects that can be used in his eyes. Now only the retainers and servants he personally promoted can be trusted by him.
Gongsun Huan's arrival was an accident, but it really hit him and them in the face.
"For every person who slaughters dogs for justice, there are many scholars who are unfaithful... Hey, that's a good point."
Shangguan Shaoqin laughed at himself and said that he chose to betray Gongsun Huan this time not because he planned to change his family again. His decision to join the Jinyiwei team was a result of careful consideration and would not change just because of one or two people.
The reason why he wanted to send this "big gift" to Donggong was not only to use him to divert Donggong's attention and give him more space to move around in the space station, but also probably because... he hated this guy.
Perhaps it was because he saw that Gongsun Huan still persisted in his original intention to this day. In contrast, Shangguan Shaoqin felt a strong sense of shame, even to the point of feeling ashamed of himself.
"As expected, we are from the Jianghu. Senior Brother Qi is right. We and them have never been on the same page..."
