I never thought that this witch in white who dared to love, hate, be both good and evil, and fearless would one day say the word "fear of death"...
Xia Shang was silent, feeling his heart trembling.
He lowered his head, gently touched her warm lips, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, my Xian'er will definitely not die. There is still one day, and one day later I will finally die.
After finishing the important matter, I will wholeheartedly seek an antidote for Xian'er. Even if I travel to the ends of the world, I will take you with me."
"One day later? A very important thing?"
This was perhaps the most depressing thing for Xia and Shang. Thinking that Li Xin was about to massacre the Chinese literati, his heart became heavy.
It is not easy to stop Li Xin. Even if the Prime Minister persuades him, it is not certain whether he can succeed.
The key plan to use Fu Qianqian to contain the Prime Minister was completely exposed because of Fu Qianqian's extravagant efforts. Not only did it not achieve the purpose of using the Prime Minister to persuade Li Xin, but it made Fu Yu more vigilant and strengthened Fu Yu's position with Li Xin.
Determination to fight on the same front.
Now, it is no longer possible for the Prime Minister to admonish Li Xin for this matter. This means that there is no one in the world who can change Li Xin's thoughts and decisions.
With Xia Shang's current strength, it is simply impossible to confront Li Xin head-on, let alone use the so-called method of robbing the law field.
There was only one way left for Xia and Shang, and that was to let the emperor change his decision.
The emperor is still the emperor after all, and Li Xin can't just say a word if he wants to massacre the literati.
This matter must require an imperial edict and the emperor's nod. If the emperor changes his mind, Li Xin will not dare to kill him no matter how unwilling he is.
But there is the biggest problem.
When Xia and Shang first entered the capital, the emperor wanted to kill Xia and Shang for unknown reasons. Although Xia and Shang escaped, changing the emperor's wishes this time was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap, and the dangers involved are self-evident.
The complexity of the matter was beyond Xia Shang's ability to guess through strategy and divination. There were too many uncontrollable factors that would lead to many accidents.
Once Xia Shang took this step, he left his life to God's will.
A year ago, Xia Shang would have ignored such a matter.
Modern people are not so elegant and are unavoidable in the secular world. They tend to be arrogant about everything that does not concern themselves.
Speaking of which, what does the life and death of these scholars have to do with Xia and Shang?
It is said that there are thousands of literati in the capital. Even if all the literati in the world die, how much can they affect the lives of Xia and Shang?
Xia Shang had enough self-confidence. No matter in troubled times or prosperous times, no matter what changes had taken place in the world, he could always find a way to live his life in peace.
So what importance does the rise and fall of the world have to him?
However, after living in this world for a long time and experiencing a lot, Xia Shang's heart was quietly changing.
Although the world is not completely friendly to Xia Shang, he has experienced many life-and-death encounters, encountered countless dangers, and is still wandering around now.
But this senior sister brought Xia Shang love, family affection, friendship, what he lost, wronged, and longed for in his previous life, this world gave him all, and it was not reduced at all because of his various mistakes in his previous life.
For this reason, Xia Shang was grateful to the world and kind to the people living in this world.
Men stand in heaven and earth, and they do what they do and what they do not do. Only when they understand what is their unshirkable responsibility can they truly live a proud life.
Xia Shang hoped that when he was about to die, he could recall his life and say a word with dignity.
"I owe the world nothing."
Xian'er noticed the change in the young master's expression and felt confused, but did not interrupt. She lay on the bed obediently, enjoying the feeling of being pressed under her body.
After a while, Xia Shang came back to his senses. The emotional turmoil of the previous second was gone. He frowned and sat down at the bedside table.
I opened the window and watched the people coming and going on the street downstairs.
Xian'er also walked over, looked at the sightseeing lake that was vaguely visible in the distance, and then asked: "Sir, why are you here? Is what you need to complete related to that dungeon?"
Xia Shang did not answer directly, but stood up and quietly arranged Xian'er's clothes.
Xian'er knows her identity. Even if she is the young master's woman, she is still a concubine who has not entered the house. Maybe she is not even a concubine. How can she let the young master take care of her clothes?
He quickly stepped away, curtsied and saluted: "Sir, please don't do this. Xian'er will sort it out herself."
Saying that, Xian'er began to sort herself out in a panic.
Xia Shang frowned: "When did my Xian'er start caring about etiquette?"
Xian'er blushed: "Young master said that the Xia family's ethics are strict, and my wife is a daughter of a family who values etiquette and etiquette. If Xian'er doesn't restrain herself from now on, if she is disliked by his wife in the future, it will not only embarrass the master, but also
Let Xian'er be ashamed. Since she has followed the young master, Xian'er will naturally lose her usual casualness and think more about the young master."
Xia Shang smiled, put his arms around Xian'er's shoulders, and gently put his hand on the tip of her nose: "What I want is Xian'er, not the second Huairou."
Xian'er was shy, lowered her head and tightened her belt.
"Okay, come with me to the viewing lake over there. I hope you can learn something."
Xia Shang came here to explore the entrance to the dungeon where he was imprisoned that day, so that he could contact the people of the Iron Arm Division.
This Iron Arm Secretary didn't have many conversations with Xia Shang, but he could feel that Iron Arm Secretary had an ambiguity towards him.
I am neither willing to join you, nor willing to exclude you.
If this time the emperor meets the emperor in the palace and asks to take back the decision to massacre the literati, he must have a master who can protect him by his side.
Xia Shang felt that the old leader of the Iron Arm Division was a good candidate.
So Xia Shang came here just to see the old leader again, hoping to persuade him to come out.
Soon, Xia Shang and Xian'er arrived at the edge of the viewing lake.
There is not much difference between this visit and the last time. There are always some people sitting by the lake to rest, and there are also children who like to play in the water here. It’s just that there are always parents watching these children. Children play in the water.
The parents were very focused at that time, as if they were afraid that something strange would happen here.
Xia Shang first walked around the lake and found no hidden passages. Thinking about it, there could be no hidden passages.
Because there are always people here, if there is a secret passage, it would have been discovered long ago.
But it was not without gain after going around for a while. Xia Shang had already heard some rumors about this scenic lake being haunted.
Xia Shang was also reminded, subconsciously feeling that this lake was a bit strange.
I randomly found a middle-aged man and asked: "Sir, we are outsiders. We happened to pass by this lake and heard many people say that this lake is haunted. Behind the children playing, the elders were very nervous. It seemed that this was true.
?”
The middle-aged man was very excited. He glanced at Xia Shang and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I don't know if there are ghosts in this lake, but there is definitely something weird in this lake. People often hear sounds coming from under the lake. Some people say
It looks like a ghost is crying, some people say it looks like a monster is talking." (To be continued)
