There is nothing in the vast white sky and earth. It is surrounded by white. It is dazzling and lifeless. You can't even tell the difference between heaven and earth, and you can't tell whether it is heaven or hell.
Liu Ling felt that he was dead. This feeling was so clear and clear. When he stood in this white and lifeless place, when he looked around, nothing existed except himself.
What is this place? Is it the underworld? Why can’t I see the gloomy Yama Palace? Why can’t I see the bull-headed and horse-faced judge Yama? Why can’t I see the oil pot fire pit and Naihe Bridge? Why can’t I see the gate to the afterlife and the six paths of reincarnation?
?Why is myself the only one left in this world?
Liu Ling stood there, looking around confusedly. There was nothing here except himself, only boundless white and confusion.
Liu Ling suddenly smiled, very calmly.
This time I died more clearly than the last time. The last time I died, I didn’t feel anything. It was like falling asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I was in this era. This time, although I still couldn’t feel anything, I found that
No, but at least I know that the underworld is white. Moreover, the last time I died was so helpless, it dragged my parents down. This time, at least, I saved a life.
Liu Ling smiled and shed tears. But at the moment when the tears flowed out, Liu Ling suddenly realized that her eyes were closed and everything she had seen before was false.
Mom and Dad, can I see you again? If I die this time and lose the memory of the past, how can I think of you? Even if we return to the original era, we walk on the street but don’t recognize each other. Isn’t that the same?
A deeper sadness?
Thinking of this, Liu Ling's head suddenly started to hurt. This was a huge pain that he had never experienced before, almost exceeding the limit of human endurance. He held his head, closed his eyes tightly, and curled up because of the pain.
It became a ball and was still twitching.
The pain was so sudden and intense. Liu Ling's face was distorted by the pain, and his body was spasming continuously.
Could it be...
Is this the underworld that wants to erase my memory? Am I going to be sent to reincarnation again?
Thinking of this, Liu Ling suddenly burst into anger!
I don’t want it!
Why do you want to erase my memory? Do you want me to enter reincarnation with my eyes closed? Do you want me to lose everything with my eyes closed? This is impossible!
At this moment, Liu Ling is an existence that defies the laws of heaven and earth. Although his eyes seem to be sealed by something, it can't stop him! Even if it means killing me, I will still open them.
These eyes! I want to watch the six paths of reincarnation, and I don’t want to lose the memory of my loved ones!
boom!
There was a loud sound in Liu Ling's brain.
And at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes that had turned blood red!
"Your Majesty, wake up!"
"Someone come quickly! The prince is awake!"
Liu Ling was in a trance, and seemed to be able to distinguish the voice of the little maid Minhui. The voice was very close to her, very close. It felt good to have someone familiar around her. When she heard Minhui's voice, she felt as if she was far away from that girl.
The white world seemed to be getting further and further away. Liu Ling smiled bitterly, why was the first person's voice he heard in reincarnation actually that of this little girl?
"Get out of the way, let me take a look!"
Another voice sounded, and then Liu Ling felt his eyelids being pulled up. Liu Ling was surprised. This voice belonged to Li Dongchang, and Liu Ling recognized it.
"Miracle doctor! How is the prince doing?"
"Miracle doctor, how is your prince doing?"
Huh? Liu Ling was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly realized. These were the voices of Hanasaburo and Zhao Er. With so many familiar people here, could it be that... I'm not dead?
At this moment, there was suddenly a loud noise outside. Then another familiar voice sounded, making Liu Ling feel warm in her heart.
"Lao Jiu! Where is Lao Jiu! You useless slaves! If something happens to my ninth brother, I will cut you all into pieces!"
This sound?
It’s the second brother, Your Majesty!
Immediately, Liu Ling's thinking became clearer and clearer. He wanted to stand up and salute, and wanted to tell his family that I was fine, but he couldn't use any strength and couldn't even open his mouth.
At this time, he was in a teahouse not far from Prince Zhong's residence.
Pei Hao, the Minister of Rites, sat on a chair and looked at the two people standing in front of him with cold eyes.
"how's it going?"
He asked in a hoarse voice.
A man in black, about thirty years old, bowed and said: "Sir, I lost my hand..."
"How could this happen? I'm afraid he will notice this mistake."
Pei Hao murmured a few words to himself, then sighed and said: "Heaven will never destroy the country's thief, this person is so lucky! But if this happens, you will have to go out and hide for a while. Let's do this, you two will lead
Take people to Datong. Datong is in a panic now, and no one will notice you there."
The man in black said: "Sir, we are leaving, what will you do?"
Another person also said: "Yes, sir, if we all leave and that person wants to do something against you, you will be in danger!"
Pei Hao said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I'm still in the dark now. Even if he wants to deal with me, he can't do it casually. This Taiyuan City has not yet reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand! Don't wait any longer. Things will change later. You guys will do it right away.
Just leave!”
The man in black said: "Sir! Let them leave, I will stay!"
"No need! I have my own plan!"
Pei Hao waved his hand and said, "I will feel uneasy if the national traitors are not eliminated. There are many injustices at this time, and there is only so much I can do. You don't have to worry about my safety. I still have things for you to do when we get to Datong."
He stood up, grabbed a black cloak and put it on his body, put a big bamboo hat on his head and said: "Go, a man was born in troubled times, he should make a difference!"
He walked out of the teahouse, walked around twice and threw away his black clothes and bamboo hat in an alley, revealing a fourth-grade official uniform. He tidied up and then walked towards the Ministry of Punishment not far away.
passed.
Ministry of Justice
Sima Lu's face was as dark as water, his eyes were filled with terrible anger, and he was about to burst out. Because of his anger, his face turned frighteningly white, and his chest was heaving violently!
"Go and check for me! If you can't find out who did it within three days, you won't come back alive!"
The few people kneeling below shivered in fright, and then lowered their heads deeply. One of them hesitated for a while, then said bravely: "Please allow me a few more days, sir. Three days is too little.
"
"few?"
Sima Lu suddenly stood up from behind the desk, grabbed a pen holder placed on the desk and smashed it on the forehead of the man kneeling below! With a bang, the man's head was immediately bruised and bleeding.
Blood flowed from his forehead down his cheeks and then dripped from his chin, staining the front of this man's clothes red.
It's just that this man didn't even dare to breathe, let alone reach out to wipe the blood, and let the blood flow from his forehead. He kept kowtowing down and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Sima Lu roared angrily: "I'll give you three days. If you can't find out who did it in three days, then you can all kill it yourself! There's no need to go back to the Criminal Department to see me!"
He clenched his fists tightly, bowed his sleeves and said, "Get out!"
"You ask me to give you time, who will give me time? If we can't find out who is behind it, the most dangerous thing is not you, but me!"
He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
The man with the bleeding forehead raised his head and took a sneak peek. He vaguely saw blood falling drop by drop from Sima Lu's clenched hand. The man was startled and quickly got up and left.
An hour after Liu Ling woke up, he was finally able to speak a few simple words. Because the toxin entered his mouth, his throat was very uncomfortable and it was burning. His tongue was numb and he had no feeling at all. His speech was also intermittent, and he could only utter a few words.
It's only one syllable, but the voice is still extremely hoarse.
Hua Sanlang, Zhao Erminhui and others knelt aside, lowering their heads and not daring to speak. Emperor Xiao Liu Zhuo sat beside Liu Ling's bed, took one of Liu Ling's hands and said, "Lao Jiu, you are confused!"
He said helplessly: "Who are you? You are my ninth brother, a loyal prince, and the mainstay of my Han Dynasty! You did such a thing for a servant, a little maid,
Don’t you think it’s not worth it?”
He sighed: "Don't you even think about how sad I would be if something happened to you? My big man is in a difficult situation right now, and it is the time when we need you and I to work together to get through it. You despise your own life like this,
Confused!"
"Lao Jiu, you are a very calm person. I know this best. Why are you so impulsive this time? Alas...forget it, I won't blame you anymore. I hope this kind of thing will never happen.
the second time!"
He pointed at Hanasaburo and others and said: "Old Jiu, you should understand in the future. They are all your slaves, Liu Ling. If you risk your life to save them, do you think they can live with peace of mind? If they
Can? Is it worth it for you to do this? Even if they can! I will kill them all!"
He took Liu Ling's hand and said: "Lao Jiu, take good care of yourself, I...can't live without you!"
Liu Ling's face was still pale, but there were tears in his eyes that couldn't help but fall down. He was trembling a little when Emperor Xiao took his hand. This was a kind of touching from the heart.
Emperor Xiao turned around and asked Li Dongchang who was kneeling on the ground: "Doctor Li, I will send people from the Imperial Hospital to assist you. We must use the best medicinal materials to make Prince Zhong recover in the shortest possible time."
He stood up and said solemnly: "I, thank you!"
Li Dongchang was suddenly frightened, and he lay on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the common people must do their best."
Emperor Xiao said: "That's good. I'll go back to the palace now. You can write down a list of everything you need and give it to the Taiyuan Hospital. As long as I have it in the Han Dynasty, you can use it at will. If I don't have it in the Han Dynasty, you can use it at will."
If other countries have it...then I will send troops to snatch it!"
Emperor Xiao turned around and patted Liu Ling's hand and said, "Have a good rest. I will give you a month. After one month, I will see a lively Lao Jiu!"
After saying that, Emperor Xiao looked at Hanasanlang and others and snorted coldly: "This time, Prince Nian Zaizhong begs for mercy and spares your life for the time being. If you don't do your duty diligently, I will destroy your nine tribes!"
Hanasaburo and Zhao Er lay prone on the ground, feeling extremely remorseful in their hearts. In fact, it was not their fault. Before Liu Ling went out, he had arranged for Hanasaburo to lead people to follow them secretly, and capture any suspicious persons on the spot. In order to lure these people away
When he came out, he deliberately sent Zhao Er away, but what he didn't expect was that the thief was so arrogant that he actually dared to kill him!
Liu Ling looked at Emperor Xiao's leaving figure and sighed in his heart: "I'm still not careful enough, but it's not like I gained nothing." (To be continued)
