Liu Ling put his hands behind his back and waved them quietly, and the Nie Rendi brothers, who were already ready to attack, retreated into the shadows. Liu Ling knew that the two of them would definitely not be too far away from him, so he had no scruples.
Chase directly here. Liu Ling has learned about Luan Ying's Kung Fu. He is on par with Ji Chengyun, but he is definitely no match for any of the Nie brothers.
Moreover, even if the Nie brothers did listen to his words and return to the palace first, Liu Ling also knew that there would be shadow guards around him. With the current strength of the shadow guards, no one in Taiyuan City could attack him.
Liu Ling is very reassured by Zhao Da's ability to operate in secret and his mastery of hidden strength. Zhao Da is indispensable for the development of the Shadow Guard. However, what even Zhao Da doesn't know is that Liu Ling's leadership of the Shadow Guard
, he is not the only one on this line. This does not mean that Liu Ling does not trust Zhao Da, but that Liu Ling always has to leave a few more escape routes to feel at ease when doing things.
Liu Ling sometimes felt that he was living too carefully. Although this was an era of the jungle, there would always be something heartwarming, and it was not just cold conspiracies or naked killings. However, for
To live a better life, Liu Ling had to be careful. He was able to integrate into this society and get to where he is now step by step. It cannot be said that his difficulties were due to his caution.
Nie Rendi looked around and saw that seven or eight silver-clad shadow guards were secretly controlling the place. More than thirty shadow guards had secretly controlled this place, which could be said to be foolproof. Since Liu Ling wouldn't let them show up, they had no choice but to
Hiding it for the time being. However, the Nie Rendi brothers were somewhat scornful of Liu Ling's decision. According to their temperament, since Luan Ying was a potential danger, since they discovered it today, they would kill it directly, cleanly,
Why bother with the benevolence of a mother-in-law and a mother?
They didn't understand Liu Ling's intention of doing this, but subconsciously, they felt that this prince was very measured in everything he did and would not make fun of his own life.
Ye Xiuning stepped lightly on the lotus steps and walked to Luan Ying's side. She held her weak arm and said softly: "Ying'er, don't embarrass yourself like this. In fact, you know very well that the teacher's wife just wants you to live in peace."
Go down and be an ordinary girl, get married and have children in the future, and stop fighting and killing all day long. Since your master left, my wife wanted to go with him, but I just can't worry about you.
"
Luan Ying's tears fell down her chin and wet her clothes.
"Master's wife...Master died...so tragically."
She said with red eyes.
Ye Xiuning sighed, put Luan Ying's head on his shoulders, and cried with Luan Ying: "Silly boy, he died miserably, but those who were killed by your master were not miserable? Over the years,
I have been living in hiding with him. He didn't dare to go out to meet people. Instead, it was the happiest period of my life. But his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. He always wants to be a master and live a long life. In order to
How many people did he kill to realize this ideal? Everyone has relatives and friends. If the relatives and friends of those killed by your master come to us for revenge, what will you do? Kill them all too?"
Ye Xiuning gently stroked Luan Ying's hair, letting her tears fall unbridled.
"Ying'er, I remember I told you before, but you never remembered it. Your heart has been filled with hatred. If this continues, are you still the same person? You once opposed your master, but now you are
Why bother taking responsibility for his mistakes?"
"Ying'er, remember this sentence, comparing your heart to your heart is the Buddha's heart!"
Ye Xiuning's words were not loud, but they reached Liu Ling's ears clearly. He murmured to himself, savoring the meaning of this sentence. Comparing one's heart to one's heart is the Buddha's heart? Liu Ling was shocked, he could not have imagined that
How could a crazy evildoer like Dongfang Lunri have such a enlightened wife? Dongfang Lunri is a madman with deep obsession. He is willing to kill millions of people in order to fulfill his wish. Who can do that?
I thought that his wife was so indifferent.
"Don't worry, as long as you live a normal life and restrain the disciples of the White Lotus Sect not to do evil again, I will not hold you accountable. Even today's incident, I will treat it as if it never happened."
Liu Ling looked at Li Xiuning and said with a sincere tone.
Ye Xiuning wiped the tears on her face and gave Liu Ling a half-salute: "The daughter of the people thanks the prince for his grace. The prince is relieved. The two of us have no big ambitions. We just want to live a good life. The reason why we returned
She sneaked back into this house to live out her life, just to avoid the storm outside, not for any purpose. Ying'er... I guarantee that she will not assassinate the prince again in the future, and please let the prince let us go.
We just need to live a normal life."
Liu Ling nodded and stopped talking. He took a deep look at Luan Ying and saw the confusion and struggle in her eyes. He sighed, turned and left. He knew that he might have made a mistake today, a
It may be a fatal mistake, big or small. In Luan Ying's eyes, he did not see relief and clarity, but endless sorrow and despair. Liu Ling knew why he was so merciful today. It was all because of those eyes.
Yeah, so similar.
"Let's go. It might be a good choice to leave Taiyuan and find a place with beautiful scenery to live in seclusion."
Liu Ling sighed softly and left slowly.
After crossing the wall, Liu Ling suddenly felt that his heart was very heavy, heavier than killing people. After coming to this era, he had killed enough people and survived even more, but no one was like this
The two women were shocking. Ye Xiuning's words of comparing one another to each other still echoed in his heart and had not dispersed for a long time. These were two strange women. In his previous life, the name of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect was very familiar to him. It was mentioned in various books.
Her existence can be found everywhere. But who would have thought that the first Madonna of the White Lotus Sect could be such a kind-hearted person?
Brother Nie Rendi didn't know when he appeared behind Liu Ling. The two of them couldn't feel Liu Ling's mood, but they could see the heaviness on Liu Ling's face.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send some shadow guards to watch them leave?"
Liu Ling waved her hand: "No need."
"If she still can't let go, I'll kill her."
Should I kill her? Why does my heart hurt when I say this? This woman is obviously hostile to me, why can't I be cruel? Is it really just because of those familiar eyes?
? Or did this woman touch the softness that was deliberately hidden in her heart?
Liu Ling shook his head and forced himself not to think about it.
The two Nie Rendi brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw incredulity in each other's eyes. The impression Liu Ling gave them was that he was always decisive and never sloppy. Although they had thought Liu Ling was a bit of a woman before,
Although they were benevolent, they mostly thought that Liu Ling did this to catch a big fish in the long run and attract more White Lotus followers to catch them all. But neither of them expected that Liu Ling actually let those two women go.
.
For a moment, their brothers even had the illusion that the person in front of them was not the Liu Ling they were familiar with. Maybe this person was wearing a mask now, or maybe the Liu Ling they knew in the past was the person wearing the mask.
.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the cavalry camp?"
Nie Rendi asked.
Liu Ling originally wanted to visit Shura Camp, but for some reason, he was so tired now that he had no energy at all. He just wanted to go back home and lie on the bed to have a good rest.
"Forget it, let's go back home. We will send someone to the Eight Gate Inspection Department to inform Yue Qilin that there must be many secret passages in Dongfang Lunri's house. It's hard to say where they lead. This is a hidden danger. Today...tomorrow
Let him take people to deal with it and fill up all the secret passages."
After Liu Ling finished speaking, he changed direction and walked back towards the palace.
After returning to the palace, Liu Ling locked himself in the study room and stared at the portraits of his parents on the wall in a daze. He was in a very upset mood at this time, as if he had fallen into a corner and couldn't extricate himself. Because of Li Xiuning's words, he fell into
In an indescribable emotion, he kept thinking that after he came to this era, he killed so many people. He always thought that it was for a better survival, to protect the family relationship, and to keep himself alive.
.However, these four words, comparing one's heart to one's own, shattered his seemingly strong and indestructible pretense.
He looked at the portraits of his parents and asked them and himself over and over again, whether he was right or wrong?
It is as if he has fallen into what Buddhism calls a demonic barrier and cannot get out, and his mind is in a very dangerous situation. If he understands it, his mind will be more open and his will will be firmer. If he cannot figure it out, he may never
Sink, and never regain the decisiveness of the past.
After sitting in a daze for a long time, Liu Ling suddenly stood up and walked onto the street again without notifying anyone. On the street, he met the vendor selling candied haws again. He paid for one, and the look on his face
Still wearing a simple and honest smile. The candied haws still looked crystal clear and beautiful, but when eaten in his mouth, it tasted like nothing. Liu Ling walked forward like a machine, looking at the pedestrians passing by and the lively city scene, but he felt relaxed
Buddha couldn't fit in at all.
Yes, I originally belong to this era, but I don't. Why should I forcefully change the trajectory of history? I am just a spectator, why bother?
As he was walking, a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Your Highness? Long time no see?"
Liu Ling subconsciously looked back and saw a pretty little girl looking at him with a smile. Looking at that delicate little face, wasn't it Chen Ziyu's maid Jia'er?
"It's you, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you see your lady?"
Jia'er pursed her lips and snorted: "I only think about my young lady. She is indeed a crazy boy and a resentful girl!"
Liu Ling was stunned by what she said and repeated stupidly: "A foolish man and a resentful woman?"
Jia'er suddenly flashed her big eyes and said, "Yes, a crazy man who obviously likes my lady but refuses to show it, and a resentful girl who obviously likes you but pretends to be nothing, are really a perfect match!"
Jia'er pouted and said: "Young lady also said that you can't cause trouble for the prince, it's better to compare your feelings with your own. Let me tell you, as long as you can live up to your own conscience, what's the point of being secretive? And what difficulties are there that you can't overcome?"
Liu Ling suddenly realized!
Be worthy of your own conscience!
Seeing him standing dumbfounded, Jia'er smiled and said, "I'm talking nonsense. This is not what my lady asked me to tell you, and I didn't follow you quietly."
After saying that, Xiao Nizi jumped away. Not only did she complete the task assigned to her by the young lady, but she also helped the young lady build a bridge on the side of the ship. She felt very happy.
At this time, Nie Rendi and Nie Renwang looked at each other in the dark.
"It turns out that such a little girl managed to escape our tracking!" (To be continued)
