Li Minglou followed Xiang Nan through the courtyard.
In the courtyard, the servants were busy removing the festive red silk flowers. The men and women lowered their heads and looked nervous. The executions were arranged in two specific courtyards. There was no trace of blood in other places. However, because there were too many people dead, the smell of blood
Covering the entire Xiang residence.
Looking at Xiang Nan, who was wearing a red robe and carrying a long bow, with blood stains on his feet left on the road when he walked around, the servants trembled to avoid him.
Li Minglou followed with a dull expression as he stepped on the blood marks left by him.
She had lived in Taiyuan Prefecture for ten years and was not very familiar with Xiang House. She lived in the villa most of the time and didn't move around much when she came back.
Moon Exploration Tower.
She looked over Xiang Nan's back and looked ahead. She knew that this building was specially built for her by Xiang Nan. It was the same as the high-rise building she lived in on Jiannan Road, and it was called Tanyue.
Exploring the moon also goes to the sky. Once in the sky, Jiannan Road and Taiyuan Prefecture are just a reach away, which eases her homesickness. How wonderful.
It took three years to build the lunar exploration building. She went up there once or twice. The furnishings inside were also modeled after the high-rise buildings on Jiannan Road. She did not live there. The Xiang family locked the place and did not allow others to approach it, saying that it was only for
Belongs to her.
Li Minglou looked at the tall building. The outside of the building was not locked, and there was a group of armored and armed guards waiting.
"Master Nan is here."
They moved inward and got out of the way.
Xiang Nan walked in and saluted a man wearing a duke's robe standing inside: "Uncle Six."
Xiang Yun turned around and smiled kindly: "Is everything done?"
Xiang Nan nodded and responded: "The corpses are being counted, and the statistics will be reported in a book. Li Mingyu's head will be cut off and presented to the court."
Xiang Yun said: "It's better to leave the whole body as it is considered decent."
Xiang Nan didn't have any objections and obeyed his advice.
"Then I can keep a complete body."
A voice came from the front.
Li Minglou, who was staring blankly at Xiang Yun, was slightly startled. The shadow of the screen in front of him shook, and someone seemed to be walking down from the screen.
Lian Xiaojun has not changed much, he is as charming as when he first met her in this life.
It turns out that he was also in the Xiang family in his last life and was captured by the Xiang family? Is it because his surname is Lian?
Lian Xiaojun walked to the light and smiled slightly at Xiang Nan: "Mr. Nan, long time no see."
Xiang Nan nodded: "Master Lian has lived in the Moon Discovery Tower for so long and finally saw the demise of the Li family with his own eyes. This business must be done without regrets."
Lian Xiaojun smiled and said, "Yes, Governor Xiang is sincere and will not deceive me. He is a trustworthy businessman."
Xiang Yun said: "Master Lian is so polite. Without Master Lian's help and money to pave the way, my official career would not be so smooth."
Li Minglou looked inside the building, his surprise dissipated and he became dull again. It turned out that this lunar exploration building was not built for her.
Yes, Lien regards Li as an enemy, and the enemies of enemies are friends, so they can cooperate.
Didn't Lian Xiaojun rely on himself to harm Jiannan Dao in this life?
But it seems that the fate of this collaborator is not so good either.
Xiang Nan seemed to be impatient with this politeness and said, "I still have one arrow left to send Mr. Lian on his way, quickly, painlessly and without any damage to his body."
Lian Xiaojun said: "Master Nan is reluctant to shoot ten arrows at me. One arrow will pierce my heart, lest my corpse become ugly."
Xiang Nan smiled: "If you think this way, you will be happy."
Xiang Yun coughed lightly: "Xiao Nan, don't joke, I have already prepared drinks for Young Master Lian."
He gave an order, and a guard walked in with a glass of wine on the tray. The wine was bright red, shining like a gem in the crystal cup.
"It is said that Concubine Luo drank this wine and left." Xiang Yundao looked at the wine glass and recalled, "This wine is called Beauty Drunk."
Lian Xiaojun reached out and picked up the wine glass, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it. The crystal red wine rippled on his face, making his face as beautiful as a fairy. He sighed with a smile: "What I admire most about Mr. Hou is that even if he does evil things,
He also has a compassionate heart.”
Xiang Yun didn't think this was a sarcastic remark, and laughed: "Just as everyone in the world loves beauty, and when evaluating a person only based on description, I naturally have to be thorough."
Lian Xiaojun nodded: "Master Hou is right, no wonder he is the best in the world."
Xiang Yun stroked his hair, and there were already white hairs in his hair: "It's not easy for me to this day."
"Who has it easy?" Lian Xiaojun sighed, and then chuckled, "It's easy for Miss Li. It's easy to live and die easily."
Xiang Yun smiled: "She is a woman, don't laugh at her."
Lian Xiaojun said: "Master Hou is so compassionate."
Xiang Nan stood aside expressionlessly, as if he was talking about an unrelated person and didn't care about their sarcastic words.
After finishing what should be said, Lian Xiaojun raised the wine glass to his lips and stopped: "Then if I die, will the Marquis let Lian go?"
Xiang Yun said: "Of course not." He patiently explained to him, "The Li family's rebellion is a crime against the nine clans, and the Lian family belongs to the nine clans of the Li family."
Lian Xiaojun held the wine glass and smiled, and he smiled a little sadly: "Then the Lian family is completely ruined, do I win?"
"Of course." Xiang Yun said with a smile, "Young Master Lian wanted to destroy the Li family. Now the Li family has been destroyed. Your wish has come true, and you have won."
Lian Xiaojun looked at the wine glass: "What the Marquis said is right, but I always feel that I don't know whether I should be happy or not."
He looked at Xiang Yun again.
"The Marquis is never as happy as he is."
So what? What's the use of crying and cursing when people are fighting for their lives? He put the wine glass to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
The poisonous wine took effect quickly. After drinking it down, Lian Xiaojun slowly fell to the ground. The white slate on the ground was smooth, and he lay on it as if he were a blooming flower. There was still a trace of bright red on the lips of the flower.
Xiang Yun looked down and said, "Young master, go and go in peace. You will have no regrets in this life."
Lian Xiaojun looked at him and smiled slightly: "When I was dying, it was exactly as the old people said. I was actually thinking, what would have happened if I had not done this business with Governor Xiang?"
Xiang Yun said: "There are no ifs in life. Even if there are ifs, it is not the if for you and me at this time."
These words were spoken ruthlessly and calmly. Xiang Yun saw Lian Xiaojun's eyes gradually becoming distracted, and suddenly he looked to the side, his distracted eyes slightly condensed.
"aunt?"
he said.
aunt?
Xiang Yun looked aside.
Li Minglou looked down at Lian Xiaojun, his expression showed neither sadness nor joy, nor any fluctuation.
Lian Xiaojun's eyes were confused for just a moment, and he soon closed his eyes and died.
There were no ghosts or anything like that, so there was probably only her ghost here, and Li Minglou was indifferent.
Xiang Nan leaned over and felt Lian Xiaojun's breath: "Uncle Six, he is dead."
Xiang Yun said: "There is no doubt about this poison."
"Who is the aunt he is talking about?" Xiang Nan asked.
Xiang Yun said: "It should be Li Fengan's wife, Lian Qing."
"So..." Xiang Nan said, looking towards Li Minglou with sharp eyes, "Is there a ghost here?"
It is said that people can see ghosts when they die.
Xiang Yun is also looking here.
Li Minglou looked at them.
Xiang Yun looked at her and smiled: "It doesn't matter if there are ghosts. People and ghosts have different paths. People are humans and ghosts are ghosts. They have nothing to do with each other. If ghosts can affect people..."
He retracted his gaze and looked at the ground, then looked outside, with a proud expression.
"Then how could she let the Li family and Lian family end up like this?"
Xiang Nan didn't look here and said, "Uncle is right."
"Let someone clean up here." Xiang Yun said, motioning for Xiang Nan to follow him out, "I have new arrangements for your affairs."
Xiang Nan followed: "Uncle Six, please give me your orders."
Li Minglou glanced at Xiaojun's body and followed him out. Xiang Yun's uncle and nephew were walking in the sun.
"...I originally asked you to send Li Mingyu's body to the capital, and then ask Your Majesty to marry a princess." Xiang Yun said, "But now, some of the Li family's soldiers and horses have changed their minds."
Xiang Nan didn't care about the betrothal princess and asked: "What? Do they also want to rebel?"
"We can't talk about rebellion. These brave soldiers and horses raised in the troubled times are wild-minded." Xiang Yun said, "Especially the remnants of the Zhenwu Army, so you can't marry the princess, at least not now. Marry the princess leader
The soldiers are a little constrained when it comes to fighting, and it is easy for the court to take advantage of him."
Xiang Nan nodded: "I will listen to my uncle's arrangements."
Xiang Yun said: "You go to Southeast first. Qishan's daughter's husband just died. If we join forces with Southeast, Jiannan Road will be more secure."
Xiang Nan responded: "I'll go right away."
Their uncle and nephew were chatting about military matters. Li Minglou followed behind and slowly stopped, watching the two of them drift away.
As Xiang Yun said, what can a ghost like her do to anyone?
What if we follow them?
You can't kill or take revenge.
Then why did the monk let her see this? Is this an illusion? Or is the so-called rebirth ten years ago an illusion?
Li Minglou didn't know where to go. She was in no mood to look at the Xiang family's house anymore. She walked out slowly. There were too many corpses outside the door. The soldiers were still carrying them. The corpses of Li Minglou and Li Mingyu had disappeared.
Li Minglou stood there blankly, letting the soldiers walk back and forth through her, until a voice came.
"Xiang Ling, what are you doing? Are you lazy again?"
Xiang Ling? Xiang Qiu beard? Li Minglou turned his eyes blankly and saw a soldier next to him being pushed back.
"Don't push me. Why are you pushing me?" The soldier raised his eyebrows and waved his long hand, "I tell you, I will beat you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier in front of him slapped him and pushed him over. Behind him was a dead body. Xiang Ling stepped on it and cursed, and she fell down on it.
The soldiers all around laughed.
Li Minglou also laughed.
It's really interesting. It turns out that many people actually appeared next to her in that life, but they didn't know each other when they met across from each other.
