The Words of the Number One

Gu Ling raised his hand, endured and endured with trembling lips, and finally let go of Shen Baiwu's lapel. Shen Baiwu sat back on the bed and coughed loudly, I patted his back and he laughed while coughing.

"After I escaped, I secretly returned to Zhao State. When I returned to Yan State a year and a half later, Ji Yu and Yan Shizi had been healed, but Pei Mu had disappeared. If he disappeared, no one would be able to heal my death. The remaining poison, plus the poison he tried on me, made me weak until now." He raised his eyes to look at Gu Ling, but he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or determination.

"This should be my retribution."

I actually wondered if the weird relationship between Shen Baiwu and Ji Yu was caused by something Shen Baiwu did, because he didn't resent Ji Yu, and he felt that he was Ji Yu's "enemy".

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

The noble and upright Shen Baiwu was rescued by the deviant Ji Yu, but he ignored Ji Yu at the last moment. After that, he became discouraged and closed himself off, not only because his body plummeted, but also because of the collapse of self-doubt and belief.

No wonder he can protect Ji Yu with his own life, but he doesn't want to face Ji Yu.

This is probably the stain and knot in Shen Baiwu's life.

Gu Ling walked around the room for a few times before he could hold back his anger. He returned to the bedside and said sadly, "Then you should at least inform the Son of Heaven to save Ji Yu!"

"Do you think I didn't notify you?" Shen Baiwu held back his cough and raised his eyes to look at Gu Ling, with a slight smile: "I notified Emperor Zhou as soon as I returned to Zhao State, but the Emperor did not contact Yan State at all for a year and a half. Xingshi questioned the crime, and he never rescued Ji Yu secretly, so he left Ji Yu to fend for himself in that **** on earth. Otherwise, why do you think Ji Yu hates the emperor so much?"

Gu Ling was stunned by Shen Baiwu's words. He shook his head and said, "It's impossible...don't slander the emperor! Although they didn't have a good relationship before... the emperor never cared about Ji Yu! The emperor is so kind and reasonable of…"

"Ahem, kind and reasonable? Gu Ling, you are so stupid. Do you know why Ji Yu suddenly fell out with the emperor when the emperor himself raised Ji Yu tomorrow? Because he suspected that the emperor wanted to abolish Ji Li and change Li He is the crown prince because the emperor thinks that Ji Yu is more like himself and can accomplish great things."

Shen Baiwu said that Ji Yu told him that during that time, there were always big and small problems in the affairs Ji Li was responsible for organizing, and the emperor still calmed down with a pleasant face, but the voices of dissatisfaction from the government and the opposition were rampant, questioning Ji Li's ability as a prince. Later, Ji Yu discovered that the emperor had created those problems secretly, and he guessed it when he recalled that the emperor always taught him the art of emperor.

Ji Yu and Ji Li had a close relationship as brothers, so they hated the emperor's sinister intentions. Since then, he broke with the emperor, deviated from the scriptures, and never cared about political affairs again.

"He should have mentioned these things to you more or less, but the emperor planted Ji Yu's suspicious, rebellious and arrogant image in your hearts beforehand. You have always trusted and admired the emperor, and you don't believe in Ji Yu at all. If so." Shen Baiwu smiled mockingly.

Gu Ling was dumbfounded.

"Why didn't the emperor save Ji Yu? Because at that time, the son of Cai Guo died without a son. The old King Cai had no sons, and his only daughter was the emperor's Mrs. Cai. Cai Wang secretly made an agreement with the emperor that if he His grandson inherited the position of emperor, and after his death, he dedicated Cai Guo to the emperor. The emperor wanted to abolish Ji Li and the queen and replace Mrs. Cai and her son, so he married Ji Leyuan to Yan and let her die in the hands of King Yan. Don’t save Ji Yu who was tested for poison in Yan Kingdom. Ah, you still don’t know how Ji Le died, right? She was beaten to death by King Yan until she had a miscarriage.”

Hearing this, Gu Ling stood there dumbfounded as if struck by lightning, then backed away and murmured that this was impossible, turned around and wanted to open the door and go out to find Ji Yu, I pulled him back and asked him to continue listening. Shen Baiwu's eyes were deep and frightening, looking straight at Gu Ling, he was stunned.

Shen Baiwu continued: "His Royal Highness Ji Le is already the third queen of King Yan. At that time, the lady in the palace of Yan King died of illness. It was very strange. I only found out that King Yan often beat people to death after drinking alcohol. Can you hide it from others, can you hide it from the eyes of the emperor? He knew that he would marry Ji Le in order to take advantage of the power of the Yan Kingdom, and he also expected that Ji Yu would follow in order to protect Ji Le. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

With confusion in his eyes, Gu Ling whispered, "It's all... all your guesses."

"When I returned to Yan State, Ji Yu recovered from his illness and was trusted by Prince Yan, holding an important position. At this time, the emperor sent envoys to look for Ji Yu. I don't know what they talked about. But Ji Yu was in Yan State for three years. The family provoked disputes, poisoned the palace to create the illusion of a plague, slaughtered the entire King Yan family, personally killed King Yan and the Prince of Yan, and finally set fire to the Palace of King Yan. Of course, in the eyes of the world, these are accidents. Jade has nothing to do with it."

"In the last civil strife in Yan, the coalition forces of various countries invaded Yan and were in dispute. The emperor stepped in to mediate and obtained one-third of Yan's land. The state of Zhou regained its prestige once. The emperor's deal, he helps the emperor get these benefits and the emperor has to give something else."

When Shen Baiwu said this, he leaned on the pillow, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling some long-ago scene.

He said that the day Ji Yu set fire to the palace, he searched for a long time before finding Ji Yu. Ji Yu looked as if he had just escaped from the fire and was standing outside the burning palace, while there was a crowd of people fighting the fire around him, but Ji Yu just looked at the palace in ecstasy. Seeing him coming, Ji Yu, who hadn't spoken to him for a long time, suddenly said—how should I explain to my brother, my mother, Gu Qi and Gu Ling?

—Will they leave with me?

Ji Yu spoke as if talking to himself, and then suddenly laughed with relief, saying that it was all over.

At that time, Ji Yu didn't know that all this was just the beginning.

"I guess the condition he wants is for the emperor to let you go free. At that time, Ji Li was already imprisoned for treason. He asked the emperor to release Ji Li, his mother, you and Gu Qi. He wanted to take you away. At that time He seems to have the rudiments of the current property, and he can afford to take you away." Shen Baiwu's voice paused, and then he said with a wry smile: "You will know everything after that."

When Ji Yu returned to Luoyi, what awaited him was the news that his elder brother was killed by Gu Qi and his mother committed suicide.

"Perhaps you want to say that these are all speculations. But the ending is that the emperor changed Mrs. Cai as queen and his son Ji Yang as prince. After Ji Yu fled Luoyi, he persuaded Cai Guo to participate in the crusade against Qi State. After the four countries destroyed Qi, they helped Song to destroy Cai."

Hold it up high and fall down hard.

Cai Guoguo, who had just defeated the state of Qi, was rich and powerful and got a large piece of land. If the emperor of Zhou took it back to himself in the future, the emperor could become the lord of Kyushu in one fell swoop, reshaping the situation in which the Zhou royal family commanded the heroes. The emperor's unscrupulousness for this shows his deep obsession, but in the end it was Song Guo who became the overlord.

This time the emperor wanted to support Wu and Song to fight for hegemony, but was destroyed by Ji Yu again.

Ji Yu wanted him to see hope before trampling it out.

Gu Ling stared blankly at Shen Baiwu, like an empty shell that could not think. The eleven years of stories from Ji Yuchu to Yan Kingdom to the present washed him away like a torrent. The daylight gradually dimmed, and the light in the room was dim, so he stood frozen in a chaotic darkness, as if about to be folded into the boundary between morning and evening.

After an unknown amount of time, his eyes turned red with tears, and he cursed, "Damn it... how could he hide it from me for eleven years!"

Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword, turned around, kicked open the door, and walked in the direction of Wen Eryuan. I looked at Shen Baiwu, and Shen Baiwu whispered: "Go and follow him!"

I immediately called Tourmaline to take care of Shen Baiwu, then lifted my skirt and ran towards Wen Eryuan. I bumped into so many people on the road that I didn’t have time to apologize, but I vaguely heard—what’s going on, they all ran to Wen’er Garden?

When I arrived at the gate of Wen Eryuan, I saw Gu Ling and Ji Yu standing in the courtyard. Gu Ling took off his mask and pointed at Ji Yu with a sword at some point. The girls seemed to have come running after hearing the news, Mo Xiao and Nan Sufei came to Gu Ling's side and drew out their swords against him, Mo Xiao shouted, "Don't put down the sword yet!"

Gu Ling didn't care about Mo Xiao at all, he stepped forward and pointed at Ji Yu and said, "You draw your sword! You hold your sword... Let's fight like men, let's fight like before!"

Ji Yu raised her chin slightly, and looked at Gu Ling with her hands behind her back. I don't know how long they were deadlocked, but Ji Yu suddenly laughed, and he waved his hands: "Mo Xiao, Nan Su, let him go."

Mo Xiao and Nan Su put down their swords with some apprehension, and stared at Gu Ling warily as he retreated step by step to Ji Yu's side. Ji Yu stretched out her hand to Mo Xiao and said, "Mo Xiao, let me borrow your sword."

"Where is your sword! Your dream is dead!" Gu Ling shouted with red eyes.

"Come on, I don't wear a sword now." Ji Yu shook Mo Xiao's sword in his hand, then raised it up and pointed at Gu Ling, turned his head and smiled slightly: "Come on."

Gu Ling gritted his teeth and rushed forward, but Ji Yu deftly dodged out of the way. Within a few moves, Gu Ling attacked Ji Yu and evaded, Gu Ling said angrily, "Why didn't you make a move! You..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yu finally couldn't dodge and raise his sword to block, there was a crisp "ding" sound, and the collision of the two swords seemed to spark. But in the next second, Ji Yu's sword fell out of his hand and fell to the ground. Before Gu Ling could retract the blade of the sword, he slashed **** Ji Yu's shoulder, blood oozing out along the shoulder.

Gu Ling was stunned, and said, "What are you doing? You pick up the sword, don't let me!"

Ji Yu laughed loudly, her shoulders trembled, and the jade pendant on her body tinkled. He raised the right hand holding the sword and said, "No matter how many times you hold it, the result will be the same."

The thin, bony hand was trembling like a dying cicada's wings in autumn.

Gu Ling didn't seem to understand what he saw, and asked with trembling lips: "Your hand...what's wrong with your hand?"

"As you can see, it's useless, you can't hold the sword anymore."

Ji Yu stood in the shadow of a quiet tree, her tone as if telling a joke lightly.

Ji Yu is actually the toughest person among all, he is even more decisive than Shen Baiwu.
