Chapter 481 Ignorance and Prophet
Shen Yuanling held his arms so tightly, because at this moment he was not only hugging Jiaojiao, but also what he believed in his heart was the "most real" in the world.
He knew that the second brother did not lie to him.
He had already had clues in his mind, and the coming of thunder further confirmed what the second brother said.
Moreover, the second brother is such a proud person. He will not and does not bother to make up such ridiculous lies to disturb his mind.
This... this is just a world in a book...
Even just repeating this answer in his heart made Shen Yuanling feel even more difficult and tormented.
And with Sister Qiao in his arms able to take action at countless key points in time, he could easily come up with the answer without having to think deeply.
Sister Qiao is the only "outsider". She once read their lives somewhere out of reach, and then stepped into the game.
She may have come with a mission, so God gave Sister Qiao superpowers to help her change the outcome of these tragic deaths.
Shen Yuanling suddenly felt very sad. His thoughts were in a mess, but an idea came to him.
Ignorance or prophet, which is more painful?
They were ignorant, so they followed their predetermined destiny in a muddle-headed manner, either enjoying endless glory or having their heads in different places, living out their lives in a daze.
Sister Qiao is a prophet. She knows the fate of everyone and seems to control the whole world. However, everyone close to her will die a good death. Is Sister Qiao also worried and worried day and night?
Is she tired too? Was she also worried that she couldn't save them all?
At this point in his thoughts, Shen Yuanling's throat felt sore and astringent. He originally wanted to comfort Jiaojiao that she was fine, but at this time he couldn't say a word.
In this huge world of books, the so-called "writer" is not even willing to give him more pen and ink.
He was a four-year-old child who died young, and he must have never left any impression on Sister Qiao.
It turns out that "he" died so stupidly and unjustly, and it did nothing except bring pain to the queen mother and brother and become a flaw for them.
If he was "created" just to hurt the people closest to him, he would rather never exist and never be "created"!
Shen Yuanling was suddenly out of breath.
Why...
Obviously he also wants a vigorous life.
He still has to protect so many loved ones, and he still has to realize his ambitions. He has not yet felt the wind of freedom in the wilderness of Saibei...
His vivid and real life has obviously just begun!
"Xiaosi, how are you?"
Jiaojiao felt Xiaosi's chest rising and falling violently, and her mood was equally complicated.
Ever since Shen Yuanbai, her brother and her father came into contact with the truth one after another, Jiaojiao knew that one day, there might be people around her who would have to experience such pain and rebirth.
Everyone is "awakening" in different ways, breaking the established destiny and finding their own path in life. This is what she is pursuing - free will.
Understanding the truth of this world should be the most ruthless and difficult of all "awakening" methods.
"I'm fine, Sister Qiao..."
Shen Yuanling had thousands of thoughts in his heart, but when he put it into words, there was only one sentence left out of thousands of words.
He hasn't figured it all out yet, and when he no longer has any doubts, he will definitely have a showdown with Sister Qiao.
When the time comes, he will firmly tell Sister Qiao: He is so real, just like her.
Qiao Tianjing felt relieved when he heard Shen Yuanling's voice.
He once fell into the same situation as Xiao Si, in which he could only rely on himself to convince himself of the struggle and pain.
As long as you cross this threshold, everything you see will be true and everything you gain will be real. You will only have certainty and contentment in your heart, and you will no longer be hesitant and confused!
With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Tianjing looked at Shen Yuanbai in front of him again.
Shen Yuanbai's situation is different from theirs.
He was the son of destiny chosen by the "writer", and he received the most perfect ending given by the "writer", which destined Shen Yuanbai to have the deepest and most extensive involvement with destiny.
"Someone is coming, let's change places first."
Qiao Tianjing always stayed awake and controlled the entire territory.
The thunder and lightning just fell, and he rushed here with his little sister in his arms. He saw many people from a distance on the road, but at that time everyone hid in panic.
Now that the thunder and lightning has stopped, I'm afraid many people will come soon.
Shen Yuanling came to his senses after hearing this, and quickly stood up holding Jiaojiao in his arms.
Qiao Tianjing looked around and walked directly to the left.
"This way!"
Shen Yuanling had already stepped out, but Shen Yuanbai was still standing motionless at the entrance of the valley.
Jiaojiao turned her head and asked Shen Yuanbai in a low voice, "Are you coming with us?"
Shen Yuanbai slowly raised his head when he heard the words, and suddenly noticed something. He raised his eyes and looked straight at Shen Yuanling.
Shen Yuanling met Shen Yuanbai's eyes and immediately pulled up his sleeves to cover the black and cracked back of his hands.
Just now, he was so shocked that Sister Qiao's shouting reached his ears. He had already used the "Rebound Talisman" as quickly as possible, but the back of his hand was still burned.
"Second brother, don't you want to see Jiaojiao? Let's go first."
When Shen Yuanling spoke, he still called him "Second Brother", perhaps because of Shen Yuanbai's push.
He could see that Shen Yuan's eyebrows were full of madness just now, and his risk-it-all attitude was clearly to face Lei Lei, and he should have pushed him away in order not to implicate him.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanling's expression became complicated. Before Shen Yuanbai could answer, he had already looked away.
Shen Yuanbai glanced at Jiaojiao, then turned around silently and followed Qiao Tianjing's footsteps.
The four people left in a hurry, but after a while, the noise started, and soon dozens of Northern troops rushed here.
When they saw a deep pit on the ground and a messy canyon through the moonlight, they all gasped.
What's this? Curse? Has anyone been struck by thunder?
But why are there no bodies in the field? Is it under the rubble?
While everyone was talking about it, Mo Yonglin, who was far away, finally arrived.
He looked around and immediately ordered people to move forward to remove the rubble. However, the rubble was all moved to the bottom, and no one was seen.
At this time, someone hurriedly came forward to report that they had just seen a man running towards here holding a female doll.
Mo Yonglin suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and his gloomy brows slowly relaxed.
After searching for more than half an hour with no results, he began to wonder if the information was wrong. Now he was finally sure that Qiao Zhongguo's children were really in the canyon!
"They must not have gone far yet. Keep searching. If you see any trace of them, immediately stalk them and report them immediately!"
"yes!"
The crowd dispersed again.
When Mo Yonglin came to the edge of the deep pit that was struck by lightning, he frowned slightly and looked around.
There was such a big movement, but Shen Yuanbai hadn't appeared yet.
Did the person arranged by dad succeed, or... was he also hiding in the dark?
Chapter 482 The first person to awaken
Qiao Tianjing walked quickly in the darkness, walking far away, and finally stopped in a narrow valley.
Shen Yuanbai stood at the mouth of the valley and never entered.
Shen Yuanling followed behind with Jiaojiao in his arms, but stopped when he saw this.
Jiaojiao looked around, then raised her hand and patted Shen Yuanling's shoulder.
"Xiao Si, let me down."
Hearing this, Shen Yuanling leaned over and put Jiaojiao down. Knowing that Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai had something to say, he walked straight into the valley.
Jiaojiao simply walked up to Shen Yuanbai and looked up at him.
Shen Yuanbai seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and was distracted along the way.
Jiaojiao raised her head until her neck was tired, and simply said: "Shen Yuanbai, please squat down, can we talk if we have something to say?"
Shen Yuanbai came back to his senses, glanced at Jiaojiao with lowered eyes, then bent his body and sat down on the ground directly in front of Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao was shocked when she saw this!
[Oh, Shen Yuanbai's mysophobia is gone! People do change! 】
She thought for a moment and sat down.
Before she opened her mouth, Shen Yuanbai had already said in a deep voice: "I told Xiaosi the truth, and the thunder was indeed forced down, but it refused to attack me. It seems that I haven't reached the limit yet."
Jiaojiao had just used the "immersive talisman" to witness Shen Yuanbai's crazy appearance.
She opened her mouth, and apart from being glad that she had given Xiaosi the "Rebound Talisman" early, she could only say sincerely:
"Your current mental state is unmatched by anyone, so you have been thinking about it for so long. Is the last resort to be killed by it? Shen Yuanbai, when a person dies, there is nothing left."
Shen Yuanbai lowered his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
He could tell that Qiao Jiaojiao didn't approve of his actions, but she was very measured and her words were cryptic.
There were some things he would never say to others, but Qiao Jiaojiao was special after all.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuanbai laughed at himself, "When we parted in Nanli, I left a message. Now I see that you have indeed remained true to your original intention, and there seem to be more and more "free" people around you. "
"You can be so firm, but Qiao Jiaojiao, I can't. Even I can't always be calm and always act step by step."
"Xiaosi... I saw myself in Xiaosi. At that moment, I just wanted to give up everything and find the so-called freedom."
"Oh, now it seems that everything will not go as I want, and it won't let me go."
Shen Yuanbai rarely spoke so many words, which showed that everything just happened really made him feel ups and downs and filled with emotions.
Jiaojiao was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then nodded in approval.
"You're right. This is probably the first time you've been so impulsive, right? I thought you were going crazy."
Shen Yuanbai: "..."
Seeing that the solemn atmosphere was finally broken, Jiaojiao looked directly at Shen Yuanbai and said calmly: "Although you and I are different, you see, nothing is impossible in this world."
"You and I are sitting face to face on the floor now! How could I have imagined that such a day would happen? Even now that I think about it, I feel numb and strangely harmonious."
Shen Yuanbai: "..."
Just now, he had so many thoughts in his mind, but now that Qiao Jiaojiao made a joke, all of them were scattered...
But he understood the meaning of Qiao Jiaojiao's words.
She was telling him that although he was trapped in a dead end, nothing was impossible in the world. Maybe in the end, he would find a way out...
Seeing that Shen Yuanbai had come to his senses, Jiaojiao stretched out her hand towards him and said bluntly: "Where's the big gift? I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Shen Yuanbai gathered his thoughts, glanced at Jiaojiao, then reached into his arms and took out a letter with a yellowish surface.
Jiaojiao glanced at it, and suddenly she had a guess in her mind, and her breathing became slightly quickened.
"this is?"
"It's a letter left for me by my mother-in-law."
The suspicion in her heart was confirmed, and Jiaojiao suddenly became restless.
She is really curious about Yu Liu. It can be said that Yu Liu has single-handedly contributed to countless tragedies. She is unscrupulous and unscrupulous, and she is extremely ruthless.
But that day when she and her eldest brother were interrogating Aunt Rou for the second time, she vaguely felt that Yu Liu had done so much in circles, and there must be other reasons besides ambition. The inside story might be more complicated and unbearable than she imagined.
"Are you...going to show it to me?"
Jiaojiao was still in disbelief, but Shen Yuanbai had already placed the letter in her palm.
His brows were heavy, but he didn't show any confusion. He seemed to have already made a decision.
"My mother's long-cherished wish is for me to destroy the Northern Kingdom." Shen Yuanbai said straightforwardly.
Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat as she finally got the answer!
[Aunt Rou said that everything Yu Liu did was to let Shen Yuanbai unify the two countries and respect "North", but the final ending of the original work was that Shen Yuanbai annexed the North in the name of "Yong"! 】
[It seems that Shen Yuanbai still complied with his mother-in-law's last wish. It was Aunt Rou who lied! 】
[The Northern King's Court must have done something to offend Yu Liu back then, and they even cast the soul-drawing Gu on Yu Liu. 】
[Then Yu Liu's virginity is...]
Jiaojiao knew the weight of the letter in her hand. Perhaps it contained all the truth and even Yu Liu's mental journey!
Jiaojiao was very cautious. Only when she fully understood Shen Yuanbai's intentions could she make a better decision on how to use this letter.
So she looked up at Shen Yuanbai and said in a deep voice:
"Princess Yuliu is worshiped as a god among the people in the North. You sent this letter to me. If there is any unbearable truth in it, once it is made public, it will definitely shake the hearts of the people in the North, but the reputation and image of your mother and concubine will also be affected. Destroyed."
"I know you must have considered this. If that's the case, why don't you make it public yourself?"
Hearing this, Shen Yuanbai couldn't help but look at Jiaojiao deeply.
"Qiao Jiaojiao, why are you so open-minded? You have so many powers, you could just turn around and leave with this letter."
Jiaojiao took a breath and said seriously: "I maintain the most basic courtesy and respect for those who give gifts, and to those who give big gifts. Is this what it should be?"
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle. At this moment, the appreciation in his eyes finally no longer hid.
"Back then, my mother-in-law left me a bag of tips and tricks, and there was a saying in it - don't regret her posthumous name."
"At that time, I thought this was just a ploy by the concubine to ask me not to hesitate to use the portrait. But after reading this letter, I truly understood the concubine's intention."
"I have already told Yinzhu that if I die before fulfilling my mother's last wish, she will tell the truth at all costs."
"I am handing this letter to you now because I myself am "in a cage". With the help of you and Qiao Zhongguo, this truth can be spread throughout the North as quickly as possible."
When Jiaojiao heard this, she suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Yuanbai.
Now that the showdown between them had taken place, there was nothing she dared not say.
"Shen Yuanbai, as far as I know, in that predetermined ending, you did annex the Northern Kingdom in the end, but you never made this truth public."
"Tell me, in that ending, did you violate your mother-in-law's last wish and protect her posthumous name, or did your mother-in-law never give you such instructions at all?"
As soon as Jiaojiao said this, Shen Yuanbai suddenly raised his head.
He knew that even if he had never had the current "awakening", with his temperament, he would definitely respect his mother and concubine's last wish.
Then there is only one possibility. According to the established trajectory, the mother-in-law never asked him to make her experience in the royal court public, but now...
With their thoughts at this point, Shen Yuanbai and Jiaojiao looked at each other, and their eyes slowly widened.
An incredible guess came to both of their minds at the same time.
Perhaps, in the very beginning, before Jiaojiao arrived, Yu Liu had already become the first person to "awaken" in this world!
She mixed her revenge against the Northern Royal Court with her struggle against destiny, abandoning her conscience and doing whatever she could, but even so, she never broke away from the framework of the original work until her death.
But in the end, she gave everything she could, she calculated against everyone, and left various opportunities.
So when Jiaojiao is reincarnated into this world, she will discover so many details and truths that were not written in the original work.
In the past, Jiaojiao always thought that these were bugs in the original work, but now she suddenly realized:
Perhaps the butterfly effect that occurred in this book world began from the moment Yu Liu "awakened"!
Chapter 483 Yu Liu's past events
When her thoughts reached this point, Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel her scalp numb!
Shen Yuanbai was also stunned. He didn't know the specific plot of the original work, so after reading the letter, he didn't know that his mother-in-law had quietly deviated from the so-called original work at certain points.
He just saw the madness and determination of his mother and concubine from between the lines, so he said that emotion: his mother and concubine were just like him, unwilling to look back even after hitting a wall.
"But, where is the opportunity?" Jiaojiao murmured.
It was hard for her to imagine how Yu Liu, as a person in the book, could "awaken" and quietly change the plot without the intervention of external forces.
After all, so far, no matter Shen Yuanbai or her father, everyone's "awakening" is closely related to her, the book wearer.
When Shen Yuanbai heard Jiaojiao's murmur, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Maybe... it's Di Zaiying."
"Di Zaiying?"
Jiaojiao's expression suddenly shook, and suddenly countless thoughts whizzed past, faintly connected into a line.
Di Zaiying was exposed as a spy because of the "Rebound Talisman" and was the first person in Shen Yuanbai's camp to be offline.
His appearance allowed Xiao Si to discover her supernatural powers, which was the first clue to Shen Yuanzhan's "awakening" and the most crucial figure in leading to Shen Yuanbai's false life experience.
It can be said that the plot of the original book really began to collapse with the death of Di Zaiying.
Yu Liu planned such a big circle, and it was naturally impossible to harm Shen Yuanbai, so it was most likely that she said certain words and did certain things that violated the original work at a certain point in time, prompting Di Zaiying to enter the palace early and lurk in the palace. came to Shen Yuanling's side.
Otherwise, according to the plot, Di Zaiying will lurk in Wenying Palace much later, meet Shen Yuanbai for the first time, and then become an elegant and selfless elder, accompanying Shen Yuanbai to the end.
While Jiaojiao was organizing her thoughts, Shen Yuanbai spoke again:
"In the first half of the mother-in-law's letter, she accepted her fate and was humiliated. In the second half, she ignored all arrangements. It was Di Zaiying who connected the previous and the following, and only Di Zaiying made the mother-in-law hesitate."
When Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't restrain her eagerness to read the letter. She looked around and saw that the surroundings were quiet. The Northern Army probably wouldn't be able to find him for a while.
Her eyes fell on Shen Yuanbai's face again, and Shen Yuanbai had already nodded slightly.
He also wanted to know all the truth through the mouth of Qiao Jiaojiao, the "prophet".
The thunder from the sky just now had split the thick clouds. Now the moonlight was a little brighter. Jiaojiao took out the letter paper with a solemn expression, and there were many thick sheets.
She leaned forward slightly, and although it was a little hard on her eyes, she could barely read the words on the letter.
It is a very elegant lowercase script. For Jiaojiao, who is getting more and more accustomed to reading traditional Chinese characters, it is not a problem to read.
"Yuan Bai, my son, seeing words is like meeting each other——"
Jiaojiao was quickly immersed in the letter. She looked focused and frowned slightly. She didn't look like a three-year-old child at this moment.
Shen Yuanbai had already memorized the contents of the letter. He cast his gaze on Qiao Jiaojiao's face under the moonlight, and soon saw that her brows were getting tighter and tighter, and her face began to turn pale.
Shen Yuanbai suddenly felt infinite sadness in his heart.
Ever since he knew the truth about this world, he has been thinking, if he is the so-called "son of destiny", are all the experiences of his mother and concubine deliberately caused by "heaven" to pave the way for him?
The concubine's virginity was taken away by her father when she was twelve years old.
The Northern King at that time, King Jin Yong, was a beast with a human face and an animal heart!
And only half a year later, the concubine's biological brother, now King Jinyu, couldn't wait to join in.
This abuse lasted for four full years. From the beginning, the mother-in-law resisted, went on a hunger strike, and committed suicide, then collapsed and became powerless, and finally became so numb that she became accustomed to it.
During this period, in order to keep this secret, except for the concubine's nanny, Aunt Rou, the rest of the maids and palace servants were either drugged to death or executed on a regular basis.
Jinzhu and Yinzhu were exceptions. At that time, the mother-in-law had learned to be conceited and submissive. She kept the two maids Jinzhu and Yinzhu, but sent them away every time they were defiled.
Yinzhu had a good figure and good looks. One time, his mother-in-law was unwell. King Jinyu wanted to take Yinzhu by force, but the mother-in-law tried her best to stop him. Therefore, Yinzhu knew about it early and was most devoted to his mother-in-law.
This is also the reason why the mother-in-law was able to safely hand over her suicide note to Yinzhu before committing suicide and let her go away to the south.
The mother-in-law had already accepted her fate, but when she was sixteen, she unexpectedly met Prince Di at a banquet held in the royal court.
In the letter, the mother-in-law used eight words to evaluate Prince Di: A gentleman is like jade, upright and upright.
Shen Yuanbai could imagine how disgusted his mother-in-law must have been towards men because of those two beasts, but Prince Di became the only exception.
It was also because of Prince Di that the mother and concubine once again had the idea of resisting.
At that time, she was regarded as a forbidden concubine and had no power of her own around her. She heard that Nanli had many poisonous poisons that could kill people without being seen, so the mother-in-law asked Prince Di to lend her someone, and then sent people to Nanli to find the poisonous poison.
The mother-in-law said in the letter that what she was looking for was the poison that kills people and prevents them from succeeding. The mysterious poison that seduces the soul was an unexpected gain, but she did not expect that it would be this poison that completely changed her life.
When Jiaojiao saw this, she understood that it was not an accident that the Gu got into Yu Liu's hands, but that King Nanli did it deliberately to disrupt the situation.
It's just that Jiaojiao had always imagined Yu Liu as a powerful and strategizing princess, and thought that this poison was what Yu Liu wanted. Unexpectedly, when the truth was revealed layer by layer, it turned out to be full of mistakes.
Shen Yuanbai's thoughts continued:
At that time, Qiao Zhongguo had already led troops to attack the Northern Kingdom. The mother-in-law knew that the endings of princesses who had been subjugated since ancient times were not good, and at that time, she had already planned to stay with Prince Di forever.
So she persuaded her father and brother several times to cut off their strong men's wrists in exchange for a chance to recuperate and make a comeback, but they were all rejected.
It wasn't until Qiao Zhongguo made great progress that the two cowering turtles finally realized they were afraid.
Prince Di was afraid that his mother-in-law would be sent away for marriage, so he revealed his intention to marry him during an audience with King Jin Yong. This move made King Jin Yong jealous and furious. The matter of taking the secret poison from Nanli.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, the mother and concubine had no choice but to tell the story of the "Educating Soul Gu" she had accidentally obtained in order to cover up the poison of being the queen, but the reason turned out to be the justice of the family and the country.
Those two beasts had sworn before that they would protect their mother and concubine, but at the moment of life and death, they still pushed her mother and concubine out without hesitation.
They threatened the concubine with silver beads and Prince Di's life, asking her to take the soul-drawing Gu into her body. The concubine was silent for a long time and asked to see Prince Di.
That year in the northern suburbs of Kyoto, on a hillside in the wilderness, the mother-in-law met Prince Di.
Prince Di was only filled with joy at seeing his sweetheart, but he didn't know that his mother and concubine were filled with sorrow.
Shen Yuanbai thought to himself that maybe this meeting was the key to the mother-in-law's "awakening"!
Chapter 484 Figure everything out
Jiaojiao's expression was extremely complicated. When she turned to the third page, she began with a very straightforward sentence:
"Jaiying, you want me."
Jiaojiao was greatly surprised and continued reading, only to find that Di Zaiying refused.
He took off his outer robe and gently put it on Yu Liu, who was undressing himself. With a smile on his face, he said warmly:
"Liu Ling, I don't want the pleasure of sex or the pleasure of men and women. You are a flawless beauty and a noble princess. I pity you, cherish you, and love you. I only want you to be happy and worry-free."
"Liu Ling, I'm going to the battlefield. I'm going not only for my country, but also for you. I don't want you to face the destruction of your family and country, and I don't want you to be forced to get married in the end."
"I will make military exploits as soon as possible to get the king to agree to our marriage, Liu Ling. This beautiful union will be left for you and me to get married, okay?"
"Liu Ling, I will do anything for you..."
...
Jiaojiao had originally guessed that Yu Liu might have given her virginity to Di Zaiying, but it turned out that Di Zaiying loved Yu Liu so much that he never touched her at all.
From this point of view, when the romance between Yong Dynasty Palace and Yu Liu happened, Di Zaiying might also be bleeding...
Yu Liu went on to write later that she originally thought that since her father and brother were so despicable, all men in the world must be ugly.
She was sure that Di Zaiying was no exception, so she originally planned to commit suicide in the northern suburbs, but let Qiao Zhongguo's cavalry trample the northern country, destroying everyone together!
She believed that this was the ending of her dirty and miserable life, and she had already accepted her fate.
However, Di Zaiying's response was completely beyond her expectation, and even shocked her, and she burst into tears unknowingly.
With Di Zaiying's love and righteousness at this point, Yu Liu's already dead heart finally felt like fighting.
She can't let Di Zaiying die for her. This may be the only person in the world who truly loves her unconditionally, besides Yinzhu.
Seeing this, Jiaojiao suddenly felt a sense of absurdity and sadness, and couldn't help but look up at Shen Yuanbai.
Shen Yuanbai originally thought that this was the opportunity for his mother-in-law to "awaken", but Qiao Jiaojiao shook her head at him.
Jiaojiao sighed lightly, Yu Liu here had indeed "awakened", precisely because of Di Zaiying.
But her "awakening" was against the sad fate of being tainted by her father and brother. She was about to commit suicide at this moment, and finally decided to start fighting, in order to save Di Zaiying's life, and for herself.
But in fact, as a character in the book, Yu Liu's "awakening" still did not escape the framework of the original work. In other words, even her resistance was arranged by the original work.
After all, if Yu Liu didn't get married, how could the male protagonist Shen Yuanbai be born?
Thinking of this, Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine.
She quickly returned her gaze to the letter. She wanted to see, in this case, how Yu Liu later poked countless bugs into the original work step by step.
Shen Yuanbai sat opposite Jiaojiao and slowly clenched his hands.
He felt as if he knew the answer.
Why is it that the mother-in-law is still on the trajectory arranged by the author, but she still deviates from the plot at certain points.
Because the mother-in-law had too much hatred and unwillingness in her heart, she never discovered the truth of the world. She was just paranoid and crazy to the point of disregarding everything.
Even Qiao Jiaojiao always said that man can conquer nature, no matter good or bad, good or evil, from the moment the mother-in-law questioned "fate", her will has been - even the plot can't suppress it!
At this time, Jiaojiao, who was reading the letter, suddenly began to tremble, and she squeezed the letter tightly with her hand.
After Yu Liu bid farewell to Di Zaiying, she returned to the royal court. She agreed to take the soul-drawing Gu into her body.
This Gu feeds on flesh and blood and is irreversible once it enters the body. Moreover, the Leading Spirit Gu can also enter the opponent's body through the bed.
So before Yu Liu let the Gu enter his body, King Jin Yong and King Jin Yu seized the last opportunity and ravaged Yu Liu again.
They spoke dirty words, asked Yu Liu whether he was having an affair with Di Zaiying, and crushed Yu Liu into the dust over and over again.
But after getting up, they put on their clothes and looked human again.
Yu Liu lay on the couch with bruises and wounds, her heart filled with hatred, but the corners of her mouth raised strangely.
The power of the Northern Kingdom will eventually be exhausted, because both the current king and the future king will be childless for the rest of their lives!
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by Aunt Rou, she cut her palm open and took the soul-grabbing Gu of a mother and two sons into her body.
It hurts——
It was a pain that almost tore the body apart.
Yu Liu rolled from the couch to the ground in pain. She tore and scratched herself, with no clothes on her body, and screamed incoherently on the ground:
"Aunt Rou, save me! Aunt Rou, help me!"
Aunt Rou is Yu Liu's nanny. She also has her own parents and children. She is controlled by those two beasts, but she is really good to Yu Liu.
Yu Liu vaguely saw that Aunt Rou was kneeling aside, raising her hand desperately to slap herself in the face, tears streaming down her face, and she screamed miserably:
"I'm sorry, princess! I'm sorry, princess! I will suffer with you, my slave!"
This experience was unforgettable. Yu Liu wrote in the letter:
"Bai'er, the concubine is probably crazy. The pain from the poisonous insects in her body tore apart her body and mind. When the pain penetrated her bones, the concubine realized clearly that it was not just the two beasts who were at fault, but also the concubine. This life, this day, everything in this world."
Yu Liu could not describe the hatred and unwillingness in her heart. She was filled with resentment under the surging pain, and gradually distorted her mentality, shouting wildly again and again:
Let's all die - let's all die -
Fate was so kind to her, and God was so unfavorable to her. Father, brother, family, country, and conscience, all must die!
The pain gradually subsided and when rationality returned, the poisonous insects had already taken root in the body, and Yu Liu knew that she had no way out.
Having come this far, she thought, besides saving the lives of Di Zaiying and Yinzhu, there were more things she wanted to do!
The world is so miserable. As a princess, she has been played dirty and shabby. In the past four years, countless people in the palace have died because of her. She has been restrained and powerless, and has become a puppet to express her desires.
Why?
Why should she suffer this? Why are those two beasts still alive? Why would God give her such a bad life!
Now, those two beasts are going to let her go. She doesn't care about anything. She wants to hold on to all the chips and destroy everyone who hurts her!
For this, she can do anything!
Jiaojiao saw Yu Liu's pain and struggle from between the lines, and the extreme pain of the soul-drawing Gu entering her body completely shattered her defenses and made her almost crazy.
Her temperament went to extremes, so she completely abandoned her conscience and bottom line in the Yong Dynasty. As long as she could achieve what she wanted, she would do anything!
In the original work, Yu Liu is just a background figure who occasionally appears in everyone's memories and conversations. Her most important role is that as Bai Yueguang, she wins the love and favor of Emperor Yong for Shen Yuanbai.
Such a small amount of ink gave Yu Liu a lot of room for maneuver.
There are traces of bewitching Emperor Yong and using portraits to slander the prince, and the birth of Xiaosi also proves the red thread's reincarnation plan.
However, there was really no detail in the original work about the Huguo Temple's raising of the dead. Even they only learned about the Tzu Chi Bureau from Meng Guxue.
When her thoughts reached this point, Jiaojiao was suddenly startled.
Wait, Sister Meng dreamed of the "original work", but how come she obviously knows more details than she, who has read the original work?
Including the fact that Emperor Yong once forced the empress, including Zhou Bo once reminding Di Zaiying that Shen Yuanbai was his son, including the details of Shen Yuanbai using the portrait trick to force the prince to death, etc.!
Jiaojiao had never thought about these issues before, but now she was enlightened!
She was convinced that Yu Liu had really "awakened"!
It's just that this "awakening" is not about discovering the so-called truth, but as a person in the book, relying on his hatred and unwillingness to achieve the ultimate layout, breaking through the shackles abruptly, and creating some plots out of thin air.
The world in this book changed when Yu Liu "awakened", and then on the same timeline, Sister Meng and her arrived one after another.
What Sister Meng dreamed about should be the direction of the world after Yu Liu awakened. Without the interference of her, the book-wearer, Sister Meng and Shen Yuanbai were equally smooth, but there were many more details than in the original work!
And she came through the book and was also in the timeline after Yu Liu's "awakening".
With the help of Gold Finger, she slowly discovered details that were not found in the original work. In fact, these were the butterfly effect after Yu Liu's "awakening".
She and the Cannon Fodder Alliance broke Yu Liu's plan step by step, changed her destiny, and also changed what Sister Meng saw in her dream. All the hard work led to the current situation!
At this point, Jiaojiao has figured it all out!
Yu Liu's experience is tragic. As a person in the book, she can achieve such a point by herself. Whether she lays out various schemes or changes the plot, it is admirable.
However, freedom does not distinguish between good and evil, but conscience cannot confuse right and wrong.
King Jin Yong and King Jin Yu have harmed Yu Liu so much, and they deserve to die, but what about those people who died in vain at Yu Liu's hands?
So many people died in the Huguo Temple Death Case, and the mass graves were filled with the bones of children and teenagers. Yu Liu actually killed them, and all of it was out of her own will.
Thinking of this, Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Shen Yuanbai, her expression extremely complicated.
She opened her mouth and was about to tell Shen Yuanbai what she had discovered, when suddenly a torch was thrown next to them with a "whoosh".
Shen Yuanbai stood up suddenly and blocked Jiaojiao behind him. He turned around and saw a face peeking out from the corner of the canyon wall in front of him. It was a northerner with an ecstatic expression!
"Here! They're here!"
The shouts pierced the night sky, startling everyone.
Chapter 485 Well, put it away
Jiaojiao was startled by the sudden firelight. She immediately stuffed the half-read letter into her arms and protected it tightly.
The canyon was connected in all directions. Qiao Tianjing and Shen Yuanling were at the other end. When they heard the noise, they immediately ran over. Together with Shen Yuanbai, they protected Jiaojiao firmly in the middle.
Jiaojiao didn't panic when she heard that the Beijun army had come. She slowly collected her thoughts, and the last thought in her mind was:
After the dust settles here, I have to write to Sister Meng and ask where she dreamed about that "dream of the past life".
If Sister Meng was dreaming about Yu Liu's "awakening" and she did not travel through the timeline of the book, Shen Yuanbai would finally follow Yu Liu's last wish, disclose her experience, and completely tear off the face of the Northern King's court.
But for so long, Sister Meng has never taken the initiative to mention Yu Liu, and she seems to know very little about Yu Liu.
According to Sister Meng's original description, even in that dream, Shen Yuanbai never had a showdown with her, and she even overheard many details and information.
If the previous speculations are true, then Sister Meng's "dream" may not have lasted until Shen Yuanbai announced the truth.
How could it be such a coincidence?
It seems that there is some force that is afraid that Sister Meng will catch a glimpse of the final resemblance...
With her thoughts at this point, Jiaojiao couldn't help but look up at the sky.
She has already seen many of "Tiandao's" tricks, and now she feels more and more like the old King of Hell and "Tiandao" are in a ring.
The old King of Hell wants to change the world in the book, but "Heaven" desperately blocks it, trying to make the world develop in accordance with the plot.
To find out what the truth is, we can only wait until she is dead or the old King of Hell takes the initiative to find her, give her a dream, and then try to find out the reason.
Jiaojiao accidentally became immersed in her thoughts again, until in her field of vision, a dense number of faces suddenly appeared from the top of the canyon wall, which scared her so much that she almost fell over!
"it's here!"
The shouts became louder and louder, but soon there were shouts of killing all around. Qiao Jiajun and the elite guards heard the sound and rushed over. They fought with the Northern Army in a mess!
Sharp arrows roared towards them, but were blocked by Qiao Tianjing, Shen Yuanling and Shen Yuanbai.
Jiaojiao remembered that Shen Yuanling's "Rebound Talisman" had been used when he was avoiding lightning just now, so she quickly cashed one out and stuffed it into Shen Yuanling's hand.
"Xiaosi, put it away!"
Qiao Tianjing had already prepared one in his pocket, but now he only has one...
Jiaojiao turned to look at Shen Yuanbai who was directly in front of him. The tendons in his right hand were broken by Qiao Diyi, but now he could hold the sword in his left hand with ease.
Jiaojiao knew that people like Shen Yuanbai were cruel to others, but even more cruel to themselves. Now that she saw how dazzlingly he danced with the sword in his left hand, Jiaojiao had no doubt that secretly he must have suffered unbearable hardships for ordinary people.
When the torch was thrown over just now, was he standing in front of her?
well......
Jiaojiao's mood was very complicated. She stretched her neck and looked around, but it turned out that she was too short. Now that she was protected by three people, she couldn't see clearly the battle ahead.
She lowered her head and thought for a while, then finally raised her hand and stuffed it into Shen Yuanbai's hand.
"Here, put it away to save your life. You can use it yourself when the time comes!"
"You are here today to give us a big gift, which will be of great help to our Northern Expedition. There is no reason for me to let you die here."
Shen Yuanbai felt a piece of paper stuffed in the palm of his hand. When he realized that Qiao Jiaojiao might have given him her strange ability, he suddenly stopped and was almost hit by a dense rain of arrows.
Shen Yuanling was close, and when he saw this, he raised the tail of his sword and swung away the arrow that hit his shoulder for Shen Yuanbai.
He saw that when the torch was thrown, the second brother did not hesitate to stand in front of Jiaojiao. If something unexpected happened, if poison or arrows were thrown, the second brother would really suffer for Jiaojiao... ...
Shen Yuanling's mood was also confused. Did he hate Shen Yuanbai? Hated. But today, he also made a choice that he had never dared to think about before.
Growth always happens in an instant.
Shen Yuanling's world used to be black and white, but now, he suddenly learned the ridiculous truth, and Shen Yuanbai pushed him forward and protected Jiaojiao behind, even he was confused.
He could only put aside all considerations of pros and cons and make the most conscientious choice at the moment.
The same goes for Jiaojiao.
Shen Yuanbai's mood was also ups and downs. There was a touch of emotion between his brows, but more of it was bitterness.
"Shen Yuanbai! You are indeed a spy of the Yong Dynasty!"
An angry shout rang out, immediately attracting Jiaojiao's attention.
She quickly looked through the gap and saw a middle-aged man standing not far away under the light of the fire. His voice was clearly angry, but there was a smile on his face at this time.
Shen Yuanbai didn't have any intention of panic, he just said to Jiaojiao lightly:
"Qiao Jiaojiao, this is an incidental gift. This person is Mo Yonglin, the eldest son of Northern Kingdom General Mo Qiandai. He is now his only son."
Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this!
【I go! This is a big fish delivered to your door! 】
The corners of Qiao Tianjing's lips raised slightly when he heard this.
Only then did he know that the little sister and Shen Yuanbai were talking about important matters, so with Fu knowing the details, he did not step forward to disturb her, otherwise he would have to keep moving.
Their trip to the north was originally just to assist their father and give Mo Qiandai a reason to take action, but unexpectedly, a fat sheep arrived!
With his thoughts at this point, Qiao Tianjing glanced at Shen Yuanbai meaningfully.
Mo Qiandai has lost his youngest son, how can he let his eldest son go deep alone? I'm afraid Shen Yuanbai's contribution to this is indispensable, right?
When Mo Yonglin saw Shen Yuanbai and the Yong Dynasty people standing together, he felt both hate and joy in his heart.
What I hate is that when my younger brother was captured, it was Shen Yuanbai, the spy, who was the one who got in the way!
Fortunately, in front of everyone, Shen Yuanbai's reputation as a collaborator has been completely confirmed!
Today he will kill Shen Yuanbai openly and openly to avenge his younger brother. Then he will send Shen Yuanbai's body back to the capital and deliver it to the king to vent his anger on his father!
"Shen Yuanbai collaborated with the enemy and treason, and he will be killed without mercy! Shen Yuanling and the Qiao brothers and sisters captured them alive! Go!"
Mo Yonglin shouted loudly and rushed forward with a knife, his face already full of victory.
"Brother Qiao, how are you?"
Shen Yuanling had been busy all night, and now the back of his hand that had been struck by lightning was holding a knife, and it hurt as if it was about to split.
He was unwilling to use the powers given by Sister Qiao unless it was absolutely necessary. Not only was he worried that he would become dependent, but he was also worried that it would be difficult for Jiaojiao to redeem the talisman.
Qiao Tianjing made some calculations in his mind and said with some uncertainty: "Look at this time, it's about time..."
"Xiaosi, you are already injured, don't hesitate, just use the talisman!"
Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head when she heard this.
Xiaosi is injured? She was so careless that she didn't notice it at all!
Shen Yuanling hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but nodded.
The Northern Army swarmed forward. Shen Yuanling was squeezing the "Rebound Talisman" in his hand when suddenly a clear voice suddenly sounded above the canyon wall, full of momentum!
"Who dares to hurt my eldest brother and sister-in-law!"
Chapter 486 He can't use it
When Jiaojiao heard this familiar voice, she was so excited that she had goosebumps all over her body.
She looked up suddenly and saw a girl in red with a neat high ponytail, holding a red tasseled spear, with a straight waist and sharp eyebrows, looking down at them.
And behind her stood a group of solemn-looking men, all wearing Yong Army armor!
"Sister Xiao!"
After a long separation, Xiao Qianyue was like the god of war descending from the sky at this moment. Jiaojiao was so excited that she shouted loudly!
That's right, the person who came was none other than Xiao Qianyue who came to meet him!
After Qiao Zhongguo received a letter from Qiao Tianjing about traveling north, he made arrangements.
Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue, a young couple, went to the upper reaches of Wuding to intercept the Northern troops exploring the city, and the other rode out of Beiding to lead the troops to meet the northbound troops.
After Xiao Qianyue left Wuding, he transferred two thousand Yong troops with Qiao Zhongguo's handwriting, followed Qiao Tianjing's plan to lurk, and arrived at Ganzhou Canyon Cluster today!
Seeing Jiaojiao safe and sound, Xiao Qianyue felt relieved and grinned at Jiaojiao from afar.
Mo Yonglin paused when he heard this, and when he saw Xiao Qianyue and others, his expression suddenly changed.
The next moment, he advanced instead of retreating, heading straight for Shen Yuanling!
The scouts searched forward and backward along the way, but no Yong army was found on the way. I thought that a quick victory would be achieved today, but I didn't expect that the Yong army arrived in such timely manner!
Now that everything is surrounded, the only way to escape is by taking Shen Yuanling or the Qiao brothers and sisters hostage!
It has to be said that Mo Yonglin's thinking is indeed clear, and he claims to be highly skilled in martial arts. Shen Yuanling is young, Qiao Tian is weak in martial arts, and he has a little baby. What can he do to him!
Xiao Qianyue knew that Qiao Tianjing was powerful, not to mention that Jiaojiao was there, so she calmly gave the order:
"Surround us! No one is allowed to leave!"
And she herself even used her strength to jump directly from the canyon wall!
Mo Yonglin quickly leaned forward and shouted: "Kill Shen Yuanbai at all costs!"
If he dies here today, Shen Yuanbai must not be allowed to return to the North Kingdom, otherwise he will continue to lurk next to his father or in the royal court, and the consequences will be disastrous!
The surrounding Northern troops were well-trained after all. Even though they were surrounded, they still rushed forward regardless of everything!
The bright long sword was coming towards him, and Jiaojiao had already given the "rebound talisman" to Shen Yuanbai, so she was not worried.
The next moment the swords struck each other, Shen Yuanbai took a step back suddenly, the long knife slashed his arm, and blood dripped down instantly.
Jiaojiao was already protected by Qiao Tianjing, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Why doesn't Shen Yuanbai use the "rebound talisman"?
Shen Yuanbai suddenly felt a sharp pain on his arm, and the anticipation and novelty in his eyes turned into confusion at this moment.
Soon, a look of self-deprecation appeared on his lips.
He knew that Qiao Jiaojiao was aboveboard and would not harm him with a fake charm at such a moment.
And he had already followed what Qiao Jiaojiao said just now, pinched the talisman tightly, and then recited it silently in his heart, but - it was useless.
In other words, he can't use it.
Everyone can benefit from Qiao Jiaojiao's superpowers, except him...
The Northern Army in front of them was not like the defenseless commander before. They had received a death order and were determined to take Shen Yuanbai's life.
Shen Yuanbai was feeling weak in his left hand, when Mo Yonglin's startled exclamation suddenly rang out.
Jiaojiao turned around and saw that blood was pouring from Mo Yonglin's left shoulder, and his knife was slashing at Shen Yuanling's left shoulder.
"this!"
Mo Yonglin's eyes widened, and the hand holding the knife trembled.
The next moment, Shen Yuanling leaned back to block the knife on his shoulder, then flew directly in front of Shen Yuanbai and pushed Shen Yuanbai back hard!
All the Northern Army's knives hit Shen Yuanling's back. However, the next moment, the Northern Army's back split open as they all screamed in pain!
Mo Yonglin stared at this scene blankly, his whole body trembled, fear and panic rushed into his heart, making him instinctively take a step back.
The Northern Army who continued to rush up from behind didn't even see how Shen Yuanling took action. They found that the people in front of them were all bleeding. They looked confused and stopped in their tracks.
When Shen Yuanling blocked her, Xiao Qianyue had already raised her gun and noticed that her marksmanship was familiar and sharp, and she was still able to maneuver in this narrow space with ease.
The Yong army surrounded them outside. It was obvious that the Northern army was exhausted.
Shen Yuanling did not look at Shen Yuanbai, but turned around and approached Mo Yonglin again.
Mo Yonglin raised the long knife in his hand. Seeing that Shen Yuanling did not dodge, avoid or resist, his heart trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and slashed at Shen Yuanling's right arm.
The next moment, there was a dull pain in his right arm. Mo Yonglin screamed and fell to the ground in fright. His pupils were shocked and his cognition collapsed!
Shen Yuanling leaned down, taking advantage of Mo Yonglin's panic, and quickly poured the soft tendon powder into his mouth, and then pressed his mouth tightly until he swallowed it completely.
Mo Yonglin glared at Shen Yuanling. He scratched Shen Yuanling's hand with a ferocious expression, but the scar still appeared on the back of his hand.
Mo Yonglin was so frightened that he screamed wildly. He couldn't figure out where the power of ghosts and gods came from!
When Jiaojiao saw this, she knew that the dust had settled tonight.
She once again marveled that Xiaosi had such a strange side, as if he was a different person.
Shen Yuanbai on the side looked a little lost. He lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand, where he still held the "Rebound Talisman" that Jiaojiao gave him.
Xiao Qianyue ordered people to clean up the scene, and then strode towards Jiaojiao.
"Sister Xiao! No, second sister-in-law!"
Xiao Qianyue paused slightly when she heard the sound. She was killing everyone just now, but now her face turned red.
Jiaojiao immediately arrived in Xiao Qianyue's arms. She hugged Xiao Qianyue's neck tightly and said affectionately and happily:
"Second sister-in-law, Jiaojiao misses you so much!"
Xiao Qianyue raised the corners of her mouth and hugged Jiaojiao tightly.
Before parting, Erlang was still talking about Jiaojiao, hey, he let her see him first!
"Let's go, find a place to warm yourself by the fire first, your delicate little hands are cold."
Jiaojiao immediately nodded obediently, "Jiaojiao listens to the second sister-in-law!"
Xiao Qianyue walked forward with Jiaojiao in her arms. Qiao Tianjing and Shen Yuanling followed up, but Shen Yuanbai was left behind.
Jiaojiao noticed this scene and immediately patted Xiao Qianyue on the shoulder, signaling her to stop first.
"Sister Xiao, I still want to say something to him."
Xiao Qianyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and seeing Qiao Tianjing on the side didn't even stop her, she put Jiaojiao down.
Jiaojiao walked up to Shen Yuanbai. At this time, Mo Yonglin, who was about to be dragged away, recovered from the shock and suddenly shouted fiercely at Shen Yuanbai:
"You are a spy of the Yong Dynasty, you will die a good death!"
The other party was so fully prepared, which showed that they had been waiting for him for a long time. Shen Yuanbai must have encouraged the king to give the order during this trip, and that was why he was killed here!
Mo Yonglin became extremely anxious when he thought that Shen Yuanbai would return to his father and return to the royal court as the King of the North!
Hearing this, Shen Yuanbai turned to look at Mo Yonglin, his eyebrows darkened, and he sneered: "No matter what my position is, General Mo, you will not survive."
"After all... Your Majesty has already issued a secret order, asking me to do something clean and keep you in the Yong Dynasty forever."
There is nothing more heart-breaking than killing people.
The veins on Mo Yonglin's forehead popped out when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "You are a fool! You are a fool! This northern country is not guarded by my Mo family, what the hell! Those idiots only know how to fight for power and profit!"
"And you! Shen Yuanbai, and you! Bullshit King Beigui!"
"Those people are blind, so they made you a king! Who is Princess Yuliu? Treat her as a god? Hahaha, don't insult the god!"
"She is just a plaything, a forbidden concubine for the foolish king to vent his lust!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone around him changed. Jiaojiao quickly turned to look at Shen Yuanbai, only to see the corners of Shen Yuanbai's mouth raised and he actually laughed.
Chapter 487 Tricked Everyone
When Mo Yonglin saw Shen Yuanbai's reaction, his anger froze for a moment, and there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
Shen Yuanbai had already turned to look at Jiaojiao and said softly: "This Mo Yonglin needs to be dragged on, it will look terrible."
Qiao Tianjing took the lead to step out. He walked to Mo Yonglin's side and used force to remove Mo Yonglin's jaw on the spot.
Jiaojiao had already reacted and nodded to Shen Yuanbai.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yonglin actually knew about Yu Liu's humiliation!
At that time, in order to hide their atrocities, King Jin Yong and King Jin Yu killed all the palace people around Yu Liu at regular intervals, covering them up tightly for fear of damaging the image of the royal court.
But now that I think about it carefully, Mo Yonglin's father is Mo Qiandai, who holds up half of the sky in the Northern Kingdom. He must also have many eyes and ears in the royal court.
The palace staff around Princess Yuliu changed frequently. Mo Qiandai must have been able to investigate further with his wit and acumen.
Therefore, if you want others to not know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself!
Now Shen Yuanbai has sent the truth into their hands. They originally spread it. Although it is shocking, it lacks persuasiveness. It is very likely that the Northern Court will turn right and wrong and bite back.
If it is distorted by King Jinyu, the Yong Dynasty deliberately tarnishes the image of Yuliu and the Northern Kingdom in order to annex the Northern Kingdom. It might even arouse public anger and twist the people of the Northern Kingdom into a tightrope.
However, if this matter were told by Mo Yonglin, the eldest son of the dignified North Country coach, it would be much more convincing!
Qiao Tianjing also thought of this, and then quickly removed Mo Yonglin's jaw, fearing that he would kill himself.
"Watch it closely, don't take your eyes off it for a moment!"
Qiao Tianjing shouted to Qiao Jiajun who was standing aside.
Qiao Jiajun nodded hurriedly and dragged Mo Yonglin down, who was whining.
Everyone slowly left the scene, a fire was lit, Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai sat by the firelight, and this time they could finally talk in peace.
Qiao Tianjing and Xiaosi were sitting not far away, providing cover for Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao looked at Shen Yuanbai curiously, tilted her head and asked, "You knew that Mo Yonglin knew about it, so you tricked him here?"
Shen Yuanbai shook his head and said with a calm expression, "It's just a guess. Mo Qiandai's influence in the North Country is deeply entangled. No matter how you hide what happened back then, there will always be clues left behind."
"That old fox Mo Qiandai will definitely not miss it. As for Mo Yonglin, he always looks at me with contempt and ridicule in his eyes, so I bet that he knows about it."
When Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Regardless of the inner story, Yu Liu's marriage saved the Northern Kingdom from annihilation and allowed it to recuperate and recuperate for so many years.
But the world——
Because Mo Yonglin knew that Yu Liu had been humiliated, he despised her so much. Even his second brother sent a letter saying that someone in the Northern Army was full of dirty words about Yu Liu.
They enjoyed the benefits brought by Yu Liu with peace of mind, but turned around and treated Yu Liu with disdain and uttered dirty words.
Among all living beings, most of them are cold and despicable people.
When Shen Yuanbai saw Jiaojiao frowning and her expression looking serious, he raised his hand and plucked the firewood in front of him.
Jiaojiao gathered her thoughts, looked at Shen Yuanbai's thickly bandaged arm, and sighed softly, "You can't use it, right? I should have thought of it earlier."
Shen Yuanbai took out the "Rebound Talisman", looked at it carefully, and then said after a while: "You are indeed born to be against me."
Only in this way can we explain why this talisman can be used by everyone, but it is like waste paper in his hands.
"What's the price? If it's not big, I'll accept it."
Shen Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at Jiaojiao with a calm expression.
Jiaojiao reached out and took out the letter from her arms again, and nodded without raising her head.
"You can keep it."
It was much easier to read the letter by the firelight.
Jiaojiao briefly stated her guess about the timeline, and then asked: "Shen Yuanbai, based on your understanding of yourself, when will you announce the truth?"
Shen Yuanbai just tilted his head and pondered for a moment, and then said firmly: "It won't be too early, at least after the Northern Kingdom has been annexed and all the remaining forces have been eliminated."
Jiaojiao nodded, this answer was expected.
After all, Yu Liu is regarded as a god among the people in the North. In the original work, the city of the North surrendered without a fight. With Shen Yuanbai's temperament, he naturally wanted to maximize this "advantage".
Moreover, destroying a country is not that simple. There will definitely be people among the people who will support King Jinyu. If Shen Yuanbai wants to stabilize the country, he may make the truth known to the public only after the hidden dangers in the Northern Kingdom are completely eliminated.
This is a very long process. Maybe Sister Meng's dream really didn't last until that time...
Jiaojiao knew what was going on, so she continued to read the letter.
Soon Yu Liu's follow-up arrangements also surfaced.
It turned out that Yu Liu had set his sights on Yong Dynasty from the beginning.
Sending letters and paintings to the leader of Nanli Kingdom was indeed arranged by her, but it was just to paralyze King Jin Yong and King Jin Yu, making them think that she was now willing to plan for the country and them.
After all, the seducing spirit Gu came so "unexpectedly", Yu Liu guessed the intention of the leader of Nanli after careful consideration, so the letters and paintings sent there were bound to be like mud in the sea, and there would be no response.
At that time, Qiao Zhongguo had not yet reached the city. In fact, King Jin Yong already wanted to surrender, but Yu Liu suggested that King Jin Yong hold on for a while and let her send the portrait and surrender letter to Yong Dynasty first.
Yu Liu's explanation to her father and brother was that after all, she knew nothing about Emperor Yong at that time. Although the soul seduction Gu was powerful, she didn't know if it could charm an emperor.
Now that the North Kingdom is still holding on, if she sends the surrender letter first and plans for the country to this point, the image of a beautiful, calm, intelligent and courageous princess will be established in Emperor Yong's heart.
Only by constantly adding more weight in Emperor Yong's mind can he become interested in her and then agree to a marriage.
This reason successfully convinced King Jin Yong and King Jin Yu, and finally allowed Yu Liu to succeed.
But in fact, Yu Liu had a deeper plan in mind.
Because she had been imprisoned by her father and brother for the past sixteen years, she was in a state of semi-imprisonment, with no power or people around her at all.
She also wanted to resist, but she didn't have the strength or confidence at that time. Even when she went to Nanli to find Gu, she borrowed it from Di Zaiying.
But when she goes to Yong Dynasty, she has too many places to plan, so she must have a group of people who are devoted to her!
Therefore, Yu Liu deliberately delayed and did not let his father and brother release the news of surrender. Instead, he took the initiative to propose peace for the country in front of everyone, and then personally climbed up the city wall and gave a long speech in front of the people, every word of which was about family and country. Righteousness.
Because of this move, countless patriots gathered around her, and Zhou Liu and Liu Xi came to her for this reason.
How loyal are they to her?
No, they were loyal to the North Country. They were just deceived by her "righteousness of family and country" and became her pawns for revenge!
That day, she stood on the city wall, her heart was already riddled with holes and full of rage for revenge and destruction, but on the outside, she was so bright and noble!
Under the city wall, the people wept, knelt down, and shouted "Princess lives a thousand lives!" They looked at her as if they were looking up to a savior god!
At this point, she finally had her own manpower and a halo for herself!
Jiaojiao was breathless and amazed.
Except for Yinzhu and Aunt Rou, who had already known about it, everyone believed that Yuliu served the country and the people selflessly until death.
She really... tricked everyone on her own.
Jiaojiao was already aware of Yu Liu's plans for envoys in the Yong Dynasty. Yu Liu also mentioned in her letter that the time when Uncle Zhou and the others sent Di Zaiying to the palace was the last time she saw Di Zaiying in her life. one side.
Yu Liu did not describe the situation of that day in detail, which made Jiaojiao a little confused. What was the reason that caused Di Zaiying to deviate from the original work and enter the palace early and lurk next to Xiao Si?
Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out, so she asked.
Shen Yuanbai lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Maybe it's because of the silver beads."
"Yin Zhu?" Jiaojiao was a little surprised and asked hurriedly.
Shen Yuanbai did not hide anything. He said truthfully: "After I read the letter from my mother-in-law, I talked with Yinzhu about the content of the letter. At that time, Yinzhu mentioned Di Zaiying emphatically to me."
Chapter 488 Liu Ling's Last Word
Shen Yuanbai's voice was very deep, mixed with the crackling sound of burning firewood.
Jiaojiao was close and heard Shen Yuanbai's words very clearly:
"Concubine Yinzhu Dao was not happy after she went to the Yong Dynasty. Although she got rid of the pair of beasts, the hatred in her heart could not be eliminated, and she was targeted by everyone in the Yong Palace. She had too many plans in her heart, and she was almost exhausted mentally and physically. "
"That time, Uncle Zhou and the others took it upon themselves to bring Di Zaiying into the palace. It was also that time that the mother and concubine knew that Di Zaiying had suffered countless hardships in order to follow her to the Yong Dynasty."
"He was 'inexplicably' imprisoned by the king and suffered a lot of torture, and his family was also punished for it. Thanks to his loyal servants and his subordinates, who worked around the situation and played a trick of 'stealing the sky and changing the day', he escaped."
"When the mother-in-law heard about this, she was heartbroken, but she couldn't confess to Di Zaiying. She didn't want Di Zaiying to know her unbearable experience, and she was also worried that Di Zaiying would be impulsive and return to the North to avenge her. That was just The mantis' arm is just a chariot."
"The mother-in-law clearly had a big plan in mind, but she still crossed the line that day and joined Di Zaiying..."
When Shen Yuan was talking in vain, he suddenly remembered that Qiao Jiaojiao was still a child, so he stopped talking and told her about it.
"Yinzhu said that she knew her mother best. The meeting with Di Zaiying that day rekindled her fighting spirit, which was so depressed that she was on the verge of collapse. Yinzhu knew that Di Zaiying was too much for her mother. important."
"When Di Zaiying left the palace, Jin Zhu, who didn't know it, scolded Di Zaiying. She thought Di Zaiying was cowardly and incompetent. She didn't dare to take her mother and concubine away. Now that her mother and concubine have righteous thoughts, he comes again. Confusing the mother-in-law's plan."
"Yinzhu knew the inside story and said something to Di Zaiying after Jinzhu left."
"Yinzhu said that she didn't want to say anything, but seeing her mother-in-law seeming to be 'alive', she really couldn't bear that Di Zaiying always felt guilty."
"So she told Di Zaiying that he was her mother's salvation and her sweetheart. It was just fate. She hoped that Di Zaiying could live a good life according to her mother's wishes."
After saying this, Shen Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at Jiaojiao.
"This is what Yinzhu said about the original situation. If there was anything special about that meeting, I only know this."
Hearing this, Jiaojiao vaguely felt that Yinzhu's words might be one of the butterfly effects of Yuliu's "awakening", and they were also the key to Di Zaiying's early entry into the palace!
Yin Zhu's words finally convinced Di Zaiying that Yu Liu had him in her heart and they were really in love with each other.
Perhaps it was this belief that prompted him to take root in the Yong Dynasty. When he learned that Emperor Yong was looking for Mr. Enlightenment for the fourth prince, he couldn't wait to do everything in his power to recommend himself, just to avenge Yu Liu.
In the line in Sister Meng's dream, Di Zaiying should have entered the palace in advance, but before he had time to attack Xiaosi, Xiaosi had been pushed into the lake by Yu Zhaoyi and drowned.
With his excellent knowledge, Di Zaiying continued to work as an editor at Wenying Palace, and followed the path in the original work until he met Shen Yuanbai.
Only this time, because she came through the book, she went to the study to use the "rebound charm" to restrain Di Zaiying.
From then on, the direction of the world began to truly deviate from the original work. To this day, the so-called "plot" has changed beyond recognition!
Jiaojiao finally connected the complete thread in her heart. She took a deep breath and continued to look back.
Obviously, Yu Liu's plan has been adapting to the situation.
She used her body to cultivate the soul-drawing Gu, so she was destined not to live long. At that time, Emperor Yong was very obsessed with her, so Yu Liu implicitly hinted and encouraged Emperor Yong to attack the Northern Kingdom again.
She wanted to see those two beasts die a good death before she died. As for what would happen to the people in the North, she had long since ignored it!
But although Emperor Yong was obsessed with her, he never forgot his identity as an emperor.
Now that he has accepted the marriage and likes Yu Liu very much, Qiao Zhongguo has led the army back to Wuding, and by this time Beiguo also knows to keep his tail between his legs.
He had never taken advantage of the Northern Kingdom, and if he reneged on his promise within a short period of time and allowed Qiao Zhongguo to attack the Northern Kingdom, he, the emperor, would become unworthy of his word.
If he retreats and then fights back, not to mention wasting people and money again, the soldiers will be even more dissatisfied, and the people of the world will think that he is treating hundreds of thousands of troops like monkeys in order to get this beauty Yu Liu.
In this way, he will be criticized even more, and he is afraid that when the time comes, all the officers and soldiers in the army will support Qiao Zhongguo's rebellion!
Emperor Yong had many considerations. The Northern Kingdom would definitely be attacked, but it would take at least a few years for the storm to pass.
Yu Liu saw what Emperor Yong was thinking, and thought that she would never live until that time, and she suddenly felt anxious. At this moment, she found out that she was finally pregnant!
At this point, a bigger plan began to brew in Yu Liu's heart, and it was even crazier than at the beginning, even at the risk of affecting the entire world!
Seeing this, Jiaojiao raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Yuanbai.
Yu Liu did not shy away from what she was thinking in her letter. She clearly wrote that Shen Yuanbai was destined to be her pawn from birth, her tool to disrupt the Yong Dynasty and destroy the Northern Kingdom.
Shen Yuanbai had already realized this, so he looked very calm.
Jiaojiao lowered her eyes again and saw at the end, a confession from Yu Liu:
"Bai'er, after receiving such inhuman treatment, my heart has been broken and hard to repair. I hate my fate today. I dreamed about it several times in the middle of the night, and I even want to destroy everything in this world."
"All of my concubines' future plans will be to pave the way for you. Even if you don't want to, the people left behind by my concubines will coerce you forward and force you to follow the path arranged by your concubines."
"Bai'er, my mother-in-law is so selfish, she only wants to get her long-cherished wish fulfilled. Everyone else, even you, must be used by my mother-in-law."
"Having a close relationship is a blessing. What we practice is that we don't owe each other anything. My mother-in-law gave birth to you but never raised you. If everything goes well, when you fulfill my mother-in-law's last wish, you and I will owe each other nothing."
"From now on, whether you want to own the country or indulge in the mountains and rivers, it is my son's choice."
"If the plan doesn't work... if the plan doesn't work... the mother-in-law has experienced all kinds of hardships during her lifetime. If the plan doesn't work, she will just die with her eyes in peace."
"Bai'er, why did God arrange such a fate for my mother and concubine? She won't be able to do so in the next life."
"If there is reincarnation in the world, and I am reincarnated again, I only hope to be the sweetheart of my parents for once, to have an infatuated and unrepentant husband, and to have another child - a child like Bai'er."
"Ah--"
"My mother and concubine are already in tatters physically and mentally. How can I still be so naive and delusional that there is still time in this world to treat my mother and concubine kindly?"
"My son Yuan Bai, my mother-in-law will not wish you happiness and peace of mind, because your life is destined to be rough, doomed to be sad, and doomed to be controlled by my mother-in-law."
"If you wish, I wish you all the best, everything my mother and concubine wishes."
"Perhaps after my mother and concubine's last wish is fulfilled, my son will finally be liberated. From then on, he can sing in harmony, walk alone with a lamp, ride on a horse and ride on flowers towards freedom——"
"Mother Concubine Liu Ling's last words, please don't read them in this life."
Chapter 489 Witness my ending
Jiaojiao slowly put down the letter in her hand, feeling as if she had put down a heavy stone.
At this point, she could barely see a complete Yu Liu.
It's not just a backdrop at the beginning, nor is it a maniac without any reason, nor is it just a tragic character who was tainted by his father and brother.
She is so vivid and contradictory, she has already struggled to create a new flesh and blood in the given destiny, and she is a real character that cannot be described with a few strokes.
Jiaojiao has a strong balance in her heart.
From her point of view, she cannot agree with what Yu Liu did in any case, especially since she clearly knows how many tragedies Yu Liu's revenge has brought, and she has witnessed with her own eyes the innocent lives that were implicated and even lost their lives.
But she has never felt the pain of others, so Jiaojiao will not speak easily to judge Yu Liu's life now.
Looking at Shen Yuanbai who was silently lowering his head in front of him, Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
At the end of the letter, Yu Liu clearly said not to wish Shen Yuanbai, but at the end he added:
"My son is finally liberated. From now on, he sings in harmony, walks alone with a lamp, rides on a horse and rides on flowers towards freedom——"
Perhaps, this is Yu Liu's heartfelt blessing, and it is also the extravagant hope that she seeks but cannot get in this life.
However, for someone as smart as her, wouldn't she understand that if she followed her plan, freedom for her son would also become a luxury?
Yu Liu understands.
But she did it anyway.
Blessings are real, and use is also real. The complexity, entanglement, and divisions of the human heart are far beyond imagination, and it is difficult for others to see what is going on.
Jiaojiao didn't want to think about it any more. She sighed almost inaudibly, folded the letter again, stuffed it back into the envelope, and handed it back to Shen Yuanbai.
"Back to you."
Shen Yuanbai raised his hand to take the letter and took it back into his arms.
Jiaojiao thought for a while and asked bluntly: "What are your plans next? Mo Yonglin is captured. If you return to Jiaocheng, Mo Qiandai will definitely be angry with you. With his power in Jiaocheng, I am afraid that he will Tear you apart."
Shen Yuanbai shook his head, "I'll go back to the capital directly. Mo Qiandai can't do anything to me, and the scandal about King Jinyu's son is almost brewing. It's time to give him another push."
Jiaojiao nodded when she heard this. Seeing Shen Yuanbai's confident look, she wisely didn't ask any more questions.
"My dad will also hold Mo Qiandai back. Soon he will be in dire straits and won't be able to deal with you for a while."
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he thought that it was Xiao Qianyue who came to meet him today instead of Qiao Diyi, and he knew that Qiao Diyi must have other important matters, and he must have gone to deal with the city exploration team that set out with them.
Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai were tacitly aware of each other's plans. When they were enemies in the past, they fought back and forth with each other. Now that they have united the front to destroy the Northern Kingdom, the powerful alliance will naturally be invincible.
The two were speechless for a moment.
The fire beside her crackled, causing Jiaojiao to tremble with excitement.
Shen Yuanbai straightened his sleeves and suddenly said: "It's time for me to go."
Jiaojiao nodded and was about to get up when she suddenly thought of something and said immediately:
"After I go to Wuding, I will tell my father the truth. At that time, Mo Qiandai was frustrated and the morale of the army was shaken. It is a good time to announce the truth."
"This matter will definitely cause an uproar in the Northern Kingdom. As the son of Yu Liu, you are destined to be at the center of the storm."
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, his brows moved slightly and he lowered his eyes to look at Jiaojiao.
Once the truth is made public, just as Qiao Jiaojiao said, he will surely attract the attention of the public. In order to stabilize the people's hearts, King Jinyu will dig up the ground to dig him out and force him to "clarify" everything in front of the people.
But how could he let himself be manipulated?
He is only one step away from fulfilling his mother's last wish. He will stand up and be the one to stab that beast with the final blow!
As for his "fate", it will be revealed in the end!
"Qiao Jiaojiao, I hope you can come and see my ending by then."
Jiaojiao raised her head to meet Shen Yuanbai's gaze and saw the determination in his eyes. She was silent for a while and nodded.
"I won't be absent. I think the final step for man to conquer heaven in this world should be on you."
"If one day the glory of freedom comes to you, and you still have life, don't forget to send me a message."
Jiaojiao raised her head, her face full of solemnity when she said this.
Born to be opposites, they met their opponents in chess. When the two looked at each other, they both saw a strong sense of fate on each other's faces.
Shen Yuanbai also nodded, then stood up, followed by Jiaojiao.
Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing and Shen Yuanling in the distance knew that they had finished talking, so they came over.
Jiaojiao raised her head and said, "He is leaving. Brother, prepare a fast horse for him."
Qiao Tianjing nodded, and when he looked at Shen Yuanbai again, even he was filled with emotion.
Shen Yuanling looked complicated and said, "Let me pick the horse and deliver it to the mouth of the valley."
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, he nodded lightly to Jiaojiao with a calm expression, and then left with Shen Yuanling.
Jiaojiao stared at the backs of the two brothers walking side by side into the night, and quickly looked away the next moment.
Qiao Tianjing noticed Jiaojiao's ups and downs, raised his hand and rubbed Jiaojiao's head, and said warmly: "Little sister, fate is like this, we have done our best, and everything will be fine in the end."
Jiaojiao nodded slightly, then leaned a little tiredly on Qiao Tianjing's shoulder.
She had been using her brain too much tonight. She was very tired and wanted to have a good sleep.
Qiao Tianjing gently nudged Jiaojiao. He did not rush to ask about the conversation between Jiaojiao and Shen Yuanbai, but gently held Jiaojiao tightly and said with a smile:
"Let's go. I'm afraid the second sister is impatient. She just wanted to give you a good hug, little sister."
Mentioning Xiao Qianyue, Jiaojiao's heart suddenly felt warm and she immediately nodded her head.
"Well, Jiaojiao also wants to have a good talk with her second sister-in-law. Jiaojiao really misses her father and second brother, and we are finally going to meet them!"
On the other side, Shen Yuanling picked a fast horse and drove Shen Yuanbai to the exit of the canyon.
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Arriving at the mouth of the valley, Shen Yuanling handed the reins to Shen Yuanbai's hands. At this time, Shen Yuanbai suddenly spoke seriously:
"Xiao Si, you wanted the answer just now. I have already told you that this is your own choice. You will have no regrets."
"Premature wisdom will lead to overthinking, and overthinking will lead to worries. Don't get into trouble. If you don't know how to talk to Qiao Jiaojiao, then talk to Qiao Zhongguo or Qiao Tianjing."
"The two of them... are extremely transparent, and they are relatives with Qiao Jiaojiao. They must have seen the truth before us."
"Too much obsession will hurt your spirit. Don't go astray."
After Shen Yuanbai finished speaking, he grabbed the reins and climbed onto his horse, his expression still indifferent.
Xiaosi is really similar to him. No one helped him in the past, and now he is not qualified to help Xiaosi. He is just... giving him a piece of advice.
Hearing this, Shen Yuanling suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Yuanbai, but what he asked was: "Are you going here to seek death or to live?"
When the thunder struck just now, he realized that the world revolved around the second brother under the author, and the second brother was the true son chosen by "Heaven".
The second brother is so proud that he doesn't want to be manipulated by "God", so the road he has to take is the most difficult.
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, his eyebrows were moved, and he immediately turned his head and looked into the distance.
He was silent for a long time, leaving a faint sentence: "I don't care whether I live or die."
"drive--"
Shen Yuanbai clamped his horse's belly tightly and galloped into the dark night.
Chapter 490: The hard bones have softened a bit
When Shen Yuanling came back, Jiaojiao was already asleep in Xiao Qianyue's arms.
Xiao Qianyue was fierce and decisive just now, but now she was holding Jiaojiao with a gentle face, as if she was a different person.
Qiao Tianjing went to clean up the mess, and he happened to be back now.
A rough look showed that Mo Yonglin brought a total of a thousand people this time. Many of them were killed by Qiao's army in the dark night. Later, most of them died in the fight. The rest who gave up resistance were taken as prisoners and brought back to Beiding City.
Seeing Shen Yuanling sitting alone, Qiao Tianjing sat next to Shen Yuanling very naturally and glanced at him as if he had no intention of doing so.
Shen Yuanling lowered his eyebrows and looked calm.
When Qiao Tianjing saw this, he smiled knowingly and raised his hand to pat Shen Yuanling's shoulder.
"Get some rest early, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
It is difficult for others to help you at this level, so you can only overcome it by yourself. If you think clearly, you will understand yourself thoroughly.
As Qiao Tianjing spoke, he leaned his upper body back, leaned against the canyon wall and closed his eyes.
Shen Yuanling nodded silently, and then closed his eyes to rest.
He thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep within a few breaths.
In the dream, he went back to the past. At that time, the second brother had not revealed his ambition. Although the elder brother was not the favorite of his father, his position as prince was stable. The third brother was still in poor health and he was still not liked by his father.
On the Double Ninth Festival, after the family banquet, my brother gathered them together.
In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, the four brothers were sitting and chatting casually, while the eldest and second emperor sisters were making tea and laughing.
The third brother blew the wind and suddenly coughed several times. They hurriedly stepped forward to check.
He was still young and jumped off the stool in a hurry and hit the tea tray.
"Crack-"
The tea cup on the tea tray shattered on the floor, frightening him to stay where he was.
At this time, the second brother who was closest leaned over and pulled him away.
The elder brother had already walked towards the third brother, but when he heard the sound, he hurriedly turned around to look at him. The eldest sister and the second sister also screamed in fright, and the pavilion suddenly became a mess.
That was the only scene in his memory where his brothers and sisters were all together in private.
That day was obviously very busy, but it became a precious memory in his heart. It was full of human voices, full of fireworks, and full of reunion.
After all, things are right and people are different...
At dawn the next day, the northbound team, escorted by two thousand Yong troops, headed for Beiding City in an open and honest manner.
————
In the upper reaches of the Wuding River, the Qianbei Army sent by Mo Qiandai to inquire about the situation in Wuding City had been besieged by Qiao Diyi for two days and three nights.
Qiao Diyi did not treat them badly and gave them water and dry food. After all, these people were of great use. If they were too hungry and were killed by the people sent by Mo Qiandai, the plan would be in vain.
It's just that these northern troops didn't appreciate it. Firstly, they were a little bit spineless and couldn't lose face. Secondly, they were afraid that Qiao Diyi would be poisoned.
They drank dew and river water when they were thirsty, and held on when they were hungry.
Commander Xiang Wenqiu was in agony. Qiao Diyi really didn't do anything to them in the past two days, which made Xiang Wenqiu even more frightened.
They all in the Northern Army are proud to follow General Mo. After all, General Mo is the bravest general in the Northern Kingdom.
If General Mo really treated them like nothing as Qiao Diyi said, wouldn't it be very sad for these enthusiastic taxi soldiers?
Seeing that Xiang Wenqiu was still holding on, Qiao Diyi simply sat on the ground in front of him and said softly:
"Xiang, I will let you go back this afternoon. As for exploring the city of Wuding, I have already sent someone to pretend that you went to Wuding City and slipped around. I think Mo Qiandai has also received the message."
"Are you serious that you won't take your brothers to eat? You've been hungry for two days and three nights, and your legs are shaking, right?"
"If you are like this, you will die if you encounter an ambush! Look, it's really not poisonous!"
Qiao Diyi blindly grabbed a piece of cake from the dry food prepared aside and chewed it in front of all the Northern troops.
"Even if your surname is Xiang, you have a strong sense of justice and you can't stop others if you don't eat. We all have wives at home looking forward to our return day and night!"
Qiao Diyi frowned, turned around, grabbed another piece of cake and ate it.
All the Northern troops were really hungry at this moment, especially when Qiao Diyi made serious claims about an ambush. They had no idea and looked at Xiang Wenqiu one after another.
Xiang Wenqiu looked very ugly.
The Northern Army was divided into four battalions and stationed around Jiaocheng. He was considered a prominent figure in the South Camp and had a good reputation among his colleagues.
Due to his outstanding performance in recent years, Vice General Chang even revealed to him that General Mo had the intention of promoting him to the rank of Captain of Ten Thousands.
From a captain of thousands to a captain of ten thousand, it is not just as simple as having more soldiers, it is a qualitative leap.
He was born in a commoner family, Xiang Wenqiu, and there was another captain of 1,000 men in Nanying who was not easy to deal with. However, he was the second son of the famous Lu family in Kyoto. Everyone said that he was the appointed captain of 10,000 men.
Therefore, after he knew the general's intention, he was immediately overjoyed. When the deputy general proposed a secret order to explore Wuding at night, he accepted it with great ambition.
I originally thought that this trip was to lead his brothers to a successful career, but now I think about it carefully. Could it be that he blocked Lu Xiu's way and was about to be cleaned up?
What about the thousand brothers under him? They have followed him for so many years and are as close to him as brothers!
Xiang Wenqiu clenched his hands tightly, feeling an indescribable coldness in his heart.
He turned around and looked around. All the brothers around him were hungry, but they still adhered to his military orders and never complained.
With his thoughts at this point, Xiang Wenqiu's expression changed several times, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed a piece of dry food.
If it is poisonous, let him test the poison first for his brothers!
Xiang Wenqiu ate the cake with big mouthfuls, and after eating it, he felt the hunger rising up, which was unbearable.
He quickly swallowed the whole cake and waited for half a quarter of an hour without feeling anything strange.
When Qiao Diyi saw this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, finally softening this hard bone!
He grinned at the Northern troops and said, "Why are you still standing there? You captains have all eaten, so you're fine!"
Everyone looked at Xiang Wenqiu again. There was bitterness in Xiang Wenqiu's eyes, but he still nodded.
Upon seeing this, all the Northern troops swarmed up and wolfed down each and every one of them. They were really hungry.
Seeing that everyone had eaten and drank enough, Qiao Diyi looked at the sky and nodded secretly.
He stood up and said to Xiang Wenqiu: "Sure, it's time to let you go. Don't forget what I said. There is an ambush waiting for you ahead."
"If you are desperate, run back, I will be waiting for you here!"
Xiang Wenqiu stood up hesitantly, and the rest of the Northern Army was even more dubious.
At this time, Qiao Di waved his prosthetic hand, and all Yong soldiers around him retreated.
Xiang Wenqiu took a deep look at Qiao Diyi, then took the lead and crossed the Wuding River. When the others saw this, they followed behind, but Qiao Diyi actually let them go.
When the Northern troops saw that they had escaped so easily, they felt unbelievable. After passing through the birch forest, they found that there were many war horses tied here.
Seeing this, Xiang Wenqiu's worries deepened, and he waved to everyone with a solemn expression.
"Mount your horse! Return to the city!"

The author's thoughts:
Since I wrote this article, the word "whitewashing" has been used throughout the comment area. Readers have the right to speak, and I very much welcome everyone to speak freely, but as an author, I also want to emphasize my own point of view:
I don't know how everyone defines "evil". Can a person become crazy for no reason? There may be such people, but I think that the character's personality and choices are closely related to personal experience.
I used to write about fantasy and immortality, which is a completely different genre than now. It's not your cup of tea. You don't need to ask me about my previous vest, haha!
This time I tried to write about a palace battle in ancient Chinese. The more I wrote it, the more it became more and more sophisticated. It also mixed in a little bit of intrigue. It was also the first time I tried to show the arc of the character as much as possible, making the character more full and real.
If a person really does something evil, but there is a reason, a reason, and even the situation forces him to do it, can he be said to be not evil? Can it offset the sins he has done?
cannot.
Sometimes I use Jiaojiao's words to make my attitude very clear. Some people in the comment area are very objective in their analysis and can speak much better than me.
In addition, when I was a child, I would often get very angry when watching "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". I couldn't understand the choices made by the characters in them, whether they were foolish, loyal, reckless, or unwilling to adapt. Some of them were even enemies, but why did they cooperate with each other later?
When I got older, I could barely understand it, but there were still things I didn't understand, but it was more of a sigh.
My previous reading and experience have influenced my writing style. Of course, my writing skills are not strong enough and I can only write superficially.
Jiaojiao and the others used to fight to the death with Shen Yuanbai, but now they can sit together and talk, because they have a common enemy and the same interests. They are not writing off the past, but seeking a win-win situation in the present.
By cooperating with Shen Yuanbai, how many fewer people would die on the battlefield? This was Jiaojiao's biggest appeal at the moment.
The story has actually entered the final part at this point, and the rest of the plot has come naturally. This book may not be a good read, nor is it refreshing enough, and the pace is not fast.
But for me, it is already a very good attempt and breakthrough. I hope to show you a real flesh-and-blood world and show the charm of more characters.
Just like that, keep working hard and persist until the end! ! !
