The Master of Cultivation rises up
Chapter 30
It turned out that after learning that Li Chao had been arrested, Gongsun Qingxi who woke up ignored the pain and dragged his frail body to the Golden Temple with Li Xiao and Li Mian.
Three beeps of the grievance drum, half-life of the drummer.
The loud sound of the red drum was three times in succession, the vermilion Miyagi gate was slowly pulled towards, and a small group of Habayashi guards came trotting all the way carrying a huge nail board.The nail board was placed on the ground, and the sharp iron nails looked rusty and stained with dried blood.
"Please." Habayashi Wei pointed to the nail board expressionlessly and said.
"Xiao'er, step back." Gongsun Qingxi stopped Li Xiao who wanted to go forward, took off the cloak on his body, and handed it to Li Mian who was beside him. "As a parent, there is absolutely no reason to watch your children suffer and remain indifferent. It is better to let your mother do this."
Since ancient times, anyone who sues the imperial court must ring the drum of grievances at the gate of the palace city and roll over ten feet of iron nails before meeting the Holy One.Gongsun Qingxi has no official position, if he files a complaint, he will go to the Governor of the Eastern Capital immediately, and if he goes to file a complaint like this, a torture will definitely be inevitable.
It hurts in the mother's body, in the child's heart. "Mother!" Li Xiao and Li Mian looked at Gongsun Qingxi with teary eyes, gritting his teeth, rolling over the ten-foot nail board, and was drenched in sweat when he came down.The originally weak body seemed to be crumbling, and the two hurried forward to help.The expression maintained on Gongsun Qingxi's face was weak and reluctant. "I'm fine. Let's go, let's seek justice for the Li family today!"
Gongsun Qingxi doesn't tell people, she only tells things. She sues the heaven for being unkind and treating the Li family unfairly, even her youngest son.However, Gongsun Qingxi did not expect that the Duanmu royal family "had contributed" to the tragic end of the Li family today!The old emperor hadn't seen him for two days, and he was so old that he was almost out of shape. Gongsun Qingxi thought that he missed his son too much, so he became depressed and became ill.
Duanmuzhi's next words sent the mother and son of the Li family into the abyss.Duanmuzhi said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." In an instant, Gongsun Qingxi suddenly realized, and his heart was ashamed.It turns out...it turns out...she is so stupid.
Gongsun Qingxi stood up from the ground in a huff, and faced Duanmuzhi on the throne with cold eyes in the Golden Luan Hall, the other party was not ashamed.In an instant, Gongsun Qingxi's willow eyebrows stood on end, and the soaring anger could no longer be contained. "What a king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die! My ancestors of the Li family were really blind to protect your wolf-hearted royal family. Hunjun, my Gongsun Qingxi hereby swears with blood, curse your Duanmu royal family for cutting off children and grandchildren, curse you The immortal dynasty of all ages can only last for a hundred years!"
"Take it down, take it down!" Duanmu Zhi was trembling with anger, with a grim expression on his face, while the chief eunuch next to him comforted him, he ordered someone to take down Gongsun Qingxi.
Gongsun Qingxi's expression was already going crazy, she smiled miserably, waved her sleeves and swept away the surrounding guards with zhenqi, and bumped into the golden pillar in the hall, blood spattered three feet!
"mother!!!"
Gongsun Qingxi fell into a coma, and Emperor Jingwu was furious. He ordered him to be imprisoned in a compassionate nunnery, ordering him to cultivate his moral character, meditate on his past, and not allow anyone to visit him for three years.I don't know if it's Gongsun Qingxi's curse fulfilled, or if the blood light collided with the phoenix. It was night, and Duanmu knew that he had a high fever and was raving nonsense. At dawn the next day, Duanmu knew to let go and go west.
The sudden ending caught everyone by surprise, and even if someone noticed something strange, most of them didn't go to find out right now.Three days of national mourning and three days of enthronement, it was already seven days after Duan Muyu remembered Li Chao in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.No one expected that in less than ten days, things changed and people changed, and everyone's surroundings changed into another strange scene.
After learning that Gongsun Qingxi was imprisoned in Cixin Nunnery, Li Chao was not in a hurry to pick him up.No one can predict what they will face, with so many variables, Li Chao dare not hope for a happy ending at all.It may not be the safest way for Gongsun Qingxi to recuperate in the Cixin Nunnery.
The new emperor has no scruples about his Li family, but it doesn't mean that the Li family is safe. After experiencing this change, he should be more careful in sailing for ten thousand years, keeping a low profile and not making the new emperor suspicious.How to do it, Li Chao tapped his finger on the table, and had an idea in his heart.It's just this matter, and other people's help is needed.Thinking of that person, an imperceptible heartache flashed in Li Chao's heart, which was quickly erased by him.
The room was full of moonlight, and Li Chao sat where Li Daoan used to sit, the front door was wide open, looking at the empty courtyard, he sighed imperceptibly into the wind, his hair drooped, and the room was lonely.
During the national mourning period, the city was full of oysters, afraid of violating the taboo of the royal family, the Li family could not even hold a decent funeral, so they moved the memorial tablet of the deceased into the Martyr's Shrine, and put it together with the ancestors of the Li family who died for the country.As the current Patriarch of the Li family, Li Chao knelt in the ancestral hall and buckled his head upright three times, vowing resoundingly.
"Brother, sister, the dead are gone, and the past can't be traced back. The Li family, we are the only ones left. I will devote my whole life to the Li family. Anyone who violates my Li family will be punished no matter how far away!" At that moment, Li Chao's expression was like Shura's on a rainy night before, full of bloodthirsty in the cold, so unfamiliar that it made Li Xiao and Li Mian's backs shudder.
After burying everyone in the Li family, Li Chao ordered Nanting to bring joss sticks and paper money, and drive a carriage to the ruins of Li's mansion to pay homage.The 53 members of the Li family were all buried under the charred and ruined walls, and none of them survived.The fire burned that night for a full night, and even though it rained so much, it couldn't stop the flames from burning.When the fire was finally extinguished, the bodies of all the people could no longer tell who belonged to them, and they were piled together like coke, which was horrible and frightening!Li Huaiyang's body was also among them.Li Chao has no one to look for, he is dead, why bother disturbing his rest.Li Chao erected an unnamed stele next to the Martyr's Temple, engraved with the lives of 53 dead people, as a memorial.
A low wall has been surrounded around the ruins, leaving only a small door, and two Li family cavalrymen in mourning guard the door to prevent people from entering or leaving at will.After they saw Li Chao, they saluted silently and let him in.
There was a small table on the ground at the door, the Buddhist incense in the censer was emitting a little smoke, the gold ingots in the brazier hadn't been burned out, and the paper money was flying with the wind, and it didn't float far.All this shows that someone has just been here, and has not gone far.Li Chao paused, turned his head and asked the two guards: "Did anyone come here just now?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Third Prince. Just as you left, you came." The guard replied.
Duanmu Jin?
Li Chao lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more.Li Chao took the Buddhist incense from Nanting and lit it with the flame in the brazier. The misty cigarette immediately covered Li Chao's sight.He bowed his head respectfully, inserted the Buddhist incense into the censer, with no expression on his face, without a word.However, Nan Ting, who knelt on the ground and burned paper money, knew that the young master had already shed all his tears.
Pedestrians all looked at this white-haired boy, guessing that he was some kind of relative of the Li family. Except for some people who occasionally shed tears of sympathy, others mostly ignored him.This kind of tragedy did not happen to them, except for talking about it after dinner and lamenting about the unexpected situation, the rest has nothing to do with them.No one can understand the grief in the disaster that didn't happen to him.
Man, that's how realistic it is.
The dust blown by the east wind captivated my eyes, and the unburned pieces of ingots in the brazier scattered into the air, and the weak flames gradually extinguished in the continuous tumbling in the air, leaving curls of scorched paper or scattered into the wind, or fall to the ground.As the footsteps approached, Li Chao heard the sound of the guards being stopped from saluting, and the word "three" at the beginning let him know who was coming.He didn't look back, he was afraid that once he saw the other party's face surnamed Duanmu, he would not be able to help but do something outrageous.
Nan Ting retreated wisely, before leaving, he took away the guards at the door.He didn't salute Duanmu Jin either, to be honest, he didn't care.The Li family all have this backbone.
The silvery white hair stung Duanmu Jin's eyes, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, dead silence pervaded the two, only the breeze and heartbeat.
In the end, it was Duanmu Jin who spoke first: "I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry?" Li Chao sneered, "Do you think that what happened to the Li family can be erased by just saying sorry? Anyone can say sorry, but you, the royal family of Duanmu, don't have the qualifications! You should Fortunately, I don't have the ability to seek revenge from you now, otherwise... blood debts will of course be paid with blood!" Li Chao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Duanmujin did not refute. What Li Chao said was an undeniable fact.No matter what the father, brother or uncle did, even his own actions, all caused irreparable damage to the Li family. If Li Chao had no hatred in his heart, it would be the strangest thing .
"Go away, this is not the place you should come. I don't need your hypocrisy, nor your pity and sympathy, put away your hypocrisy, I don't care about it!"
One hand wrapped around Li Chao's half body, hugging him into a warm embrace. The top of his head felt like his chin was pressed against it. Li Chao heard a voice that was still as gentle as before and sighed softly: "If you want to cry, just cry." cry."
"Go away! Don't touch me!" Li Chao vigorously shook off Duan Mujin's arm, and broke free from his embrace. The latter staggered and almost fell.Only then did Li Chao turn his head and glared at Duanmu Jin.However, in the next second, he frowned slightly, staring at Duanmu Jin's empty left sleeve.
"Your left hand..."
Duanmu Jin lowered his head, glanced at his left sleeve, and shook his head nonchalantly: "It's gone."
Li Chao stared at Duanmu Jin's face, suddenly his face turned cold, and before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.
"I should hate you! I hate that you didn't say anything, and I hate that you didn't do anything! You clearly knew everything, but let it happen, and let it happen. You are not the chief culprit, but you are a thousand times more hateful than him!" Facing Duanmujin responded in silence to Li Chao's angry accusation, because everything Li Chao said was true.
"But what right do I have to hate you? You didn't do anything, you just, didn't do anything. The uncle's family died because of the rebels, the father died in the frontier battle, and the mother died for the country. You didn't do anything. What about the royal family? Didn't do anything, but my Li family was inexplicably ruined. You said, what right do I have to hate you? I should hate myself. I hate myself for being incompetent and unable to protect my family. The prince who didn’t do it. Heh, heh, speaking of it, I should thank you, thank you for letting Master save my life, otherwise, where would I have the fate to think about hating anyone here?”
"Chao'er..."
"I don't hate you. You have no arm, no brother, even your father is gone, how can I hate someone worse than me. Look, this is retribution, God is fair Yes, you will pay for what you did. No one, can escape this rule, no one!"
"Chao'er..."
"Third Young Master or Young Master Li." Li Chao corrected Duan Mujin's address, "Chao'er is dead, so the Third Prince should be addressed accordingly." Li Chao's indifference made Duanmu Jin's eyes darken.He didn't tell Li Chao that when he begged Duanmuyu not to touch the Li family in this life, there was no third prince of the Duanmu royal family in the world, only Duanmujin, Duanmujin who had forgotten to return to the valley.
He looked at Li Chao's tearful grief, suppressed the urge to hold him in his arms, and obediently called "Third Young Master".He knew that the Li Chao he knew had completely disappeared.What was lost in his heart was as if he had lost the most precious thing, and he would never be able to find it again in his entire life.He closed his eyes, swallowing back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and when he opened them again, he regained his modest royal demeanor.
"There will be a period later, third son."
goodbye.Li Chao murmured in his heart, but he knew better than anyone else that when they meet again, it may be an endless ending.
"and many more."
Duanmujin paused, turned his head and waited for Li Chao to continue.He heard Li Chao's sad voice: "Brother Ajin, please do me one last favor."
"……it is good."
Li Chao went back to the mansion to pick up things, before he could enter the room, Mancheng waited hesitantly at his door, his eyes were red, and the tears on his face hadn't dried yet.Li Chao knew that Shili's death had hit him hard, and he also knew that he was here to say goodbye.What could he say, he couldn't say anything.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, Mancheng explained his intentions straight to the point. The usually dull young man was full of sadness, and his usually steady voice was trembling slightly, choking several times.
"Master, I want to take San'er home. Before he died, he lay in my arms and told me that he wanted to go back and have a look. Even if he knew that the small mountain village was gone, it was the place where he was born and raised. "San'er is Shili's original name, and the small mountain village doesn't pay much attention to the name, just choose one that can be called by others.Nanting, Shili, and Mancheng are all named after entering the mansion.
"Master, thank you for your care these past few years. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death. Your great kindness is unforgettable. In this life, the whole city can't repay your great kindness. If there is In the next life, the whole city will be like an ox or a horse, with a grass ring."
"Master, the whole city is gone, take care of yourself."
Man Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head three times, carrying ashes ten miles away, and left without looking back.Nan Ting stood behind Li Chao, sobbing softly.Li Chao turned his head and wanted to pat him on the head to comfort him, but he was not tall enough, so he could only pat him on the shoulder instead. "If you want to leave together, follow now, there is still time."
Nan Ting's big sad eyes widened, his mouth curled up, and he cried even harder.He stomped his feet aggrievedly, and finally ran away without looking back. "Oh!" Li Chao sighed a long time.
Li Chao called Li Li and ordered him to take care of the mansion's personnel affairs. If there are still people who want to leave, they will be given a settling-in allowance so that they can settle down.The Li family, I'm afraid they won't be able to return to their former state, if there is a good way out, it's better to leave early.Sure enough, there were still many people in the mansion who wanted to leave, but Li Chao didn't care about these matters. After he instructed Li Li, he tightly held the small dark green porcelain bottle in his arms, and headed towards the place he had agreed with Duanmu Jin.
He asked Duanmu Jin for help, nothing else, but secretly went to the Cixin Nunnery to meet Gongsun Qingxi.The next thing he has to do is not so open and aboveboard. Apart from asking Duan Mujin for help, he can only go to the Cixin Nunnery at night.As the place where the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager worship the Buddha, the latter is too difficult, and if one is not careful, he will be arrested. Instead, he followed Duanmu Jin, thinking that the empress mother prayed for blessings, and entered the Cixin Nunnery grandiosely.
Li Chao put on the eunuch's uniform, followed Duanmu Jin, and swaggered into the Cixin Nunnery. No one doubted his identity. Even though he had rare white hair, in the eyes of others, there were one or two strange people around the prince. No surprise.When he sneaked into Gongsun Qingxi's room, Gongsun Qingxi was sitting on the futon and meditating on the Heart Sutra.Suddenly hearing Li Chao's voice, she thought she was hallucinating, until Li Chao yelled again, she turned her head uncertainly, just one glance, that white hair made Gongsun Qingxi shed tears.
The mother and son cried with their heads in each other's arms, touching Li Chao's hair with their hands, and Gongsun Qingxi's tears, which had been so hard to stop, were about to fall again.
"Chao'er, your hair..."
No one told her that in just a few days, her son, who was still a young man, had gray hair all over his head overnight.She is a mother, how embarrassing!
"Mother, I'm fine. At least, these white hairs are proof that I'm alive." Seeing that Gongsun Qingxi was about to wipe away tears again, Li Chao hurriedly comforted her.After finally calming him down, Gongsun Qingxi asked why Li Chao came here.
Li Chao carefully looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he leaned into Gongsun Qingxi's ear and whispered something that made her face change drastically: "Mother, I want revenge!"
Gongsun Qingxi's eyes froze, and he reached out and used his spiritual power to carve a restriction around the two of them.She pondered for a moment, nodded to Li Chao, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want mother to do?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to wrong my mother for a while." Li Chao told Gongsun Qingxi the plan in detail, and the latter became more and more frightened as he listened to it. What kind of pain did her son go through to come up with such a way to hurt both sides? , What kind of suffering did you go through to change from prime to gray-haired.
She is distressed, she is distressed!
"Don't say it's about this matter, let mother die, as long as she can avenge your father and the others, mother will not hesitate!" After receiving the dark green porcelain bottle handed over by Li Chao, Gongsun Qingxi did not expect that it would hurt her so much. My sister's Xuantian spider poison is still useful.She doesn't have the benevolence to repay grievances with kindness, and her cultivation is against the sky. For her family, it is so difficult to fall into a catastrophe!
Gongsun Qingxi raised his head and drank the poison in one gulp.In order to destroy the corpse, she handed over the porcelain vase to Li Chao, took out a black token from her sleeve, and handed it to Li Chao.
The simple pattern on the token gave Li Chao a familiar feeling. It was heavy and had a strange texture, and Li Chao couldn't guess what material it was made of.Gongsun Qingxi explained the origin of this thing to Li Chao while he was still awake.
"This is the general's order. It is the most unknown and mysterious magic weapon of the Li family. There is a space in it, which can accommodate three thousand elite cavalry to practice together. The speed is twice as fast as that in the cultivation world. This is the Li family's iron cavalry sweeping The ultimate cause of the world. Chao'er, you have to make good use of it, I can't talk about other things..."
At this point, Gongsun Qingxi's voice stopped abruptly. Li Chao looked away from the general's order, and suddenly found that Gongsun Qingxi's eyes were slack, and he began to speak nonsense inarticulately.Li Chao lowered his head and put away all the uncomfortable emotions.In the early morning of tomorrow, everyone in the court will hear about Gongsun Qingxi's delirious and crazy talk after he raged into the Jinluan Palace. The Li family has only three young children, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility. Only in this way can he let the new emperor Don't worry, the Li family is a down-and-out family that poses no threat.
Li Chao put the general order in the package, and looked at Gongsun Qingxi quietly for a while with complicated eyes that he could hardly detect.He said silently from the bottom of his heart: I would like to become an Asura, just for a sunny sky above your heads.
He quietly exited the room, and followed the direction he came to find Duanmu Jin.He knew that Duanmujin could guess that he was playing tricks, he also knew that Duanmujin wouldn't say anything, and he also knew that Duanmujin's unspeakable thoughts that he couldn't even understand, when it came to playing tricks on people's hearts, Li Chao Can not lose to anyone.
Li Chao raised his head to look at the sky, the sky was full of sunset glow, as thick as flames, although the matter came to an end, Li Chao knew better that the days when he could look up at the clouds leisurely were probably few and far between.

Three beeps of the grievance drum, half-life of the drummer.
The loud sound of the red drum was three times in succession, the vermilion Miyagi gate was slowly pulled towards, and a small group of Habayashi guards came trotting all the way carrying a huge nail board.The nail board was placed on the ground, and the sharp iron nails looked rusty and stained with dried blood.
"Please." Habayashi Wei pointed to the nail board expressionlessly and said.
"Xiao'er, step back." Gongsun Qingxi stopped Li Xiao who wanted to go forward, took off the cloak on his body, and handed it to Li Mian who was beside him. "As a parent, there is absolutely no reason to watch your children suffer and remain indifferent. It is better to let your mother do this."

"Go away! Don't touch me!" Li Chao vigorously shook off Duan Mujin's arm, and broke free from his embrace. The latter staggered and almost fell.Only then did Li Chao turn his head and glared at Duanmu Jin.However, in the next second, he frowned slightly, staring at Duanmu Jin's empty left sleeve.
"Your left hand..."
Duanmu Jin lowered his head, glanced at his left sleeve, and shook his head nonchalantly: "It's gone."
Li Chao stared at Duanmu Jin's face, suddenly his face turned cold, and before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.
"I should hate you! I hate that you didn't say anything, and I hate that you didn't do anything! You clearly knew everything, but let it happen, and let it happen. You are not the chief culprit, but you are a thousand times more hateful than him!" Facing Duanmujin responded in silence to Li Chao's angry accusation, because everything Li Chao said was true.
"But what right do I have to hate you? You didn't do anything, you just, didn't do anything. The uncle's family died because of the rebels, the father died in the frontier battle, and the mother died for the country. You didn't do anything. What about the royal family? Didn't do anything, but my Li family was inexplicably ruined. You said, what right do I have to hate you? I should hate myself. I hate myself for being incompetent and unable to protect my family. The prince who didn’t do it. Heh, heh, speaking of it, I should thank you, thank you for letting Master save my life, otherwise, where would I have the fate to think about hating anyone here?”
"Chao'er..."
"I don't hate you. You have no arm, no brother, even your father is gone, how can I hate someone worse than me. Look, this is retribution, God is fair Yes, you will pay for what you did. No one, can escape this rule, no one!"
"Chao'er..."
"Third Young Master or Young Master Li." Li Chao corrected Duan Mujin's address, "Chao'er is dead, so the Third Prince should be addressed accordingly." Li Chao's indifference made Duanmu Jin's eyes darken.He didn't tell Li Chao that when he begged Duanmuyu not to touch the Li family in this life, there was no third prince of the Duanmu royal family in the world, only Duanmujin, Duanmujin who had forgotten to return to the valley.
He looked at Li Chao's tearful grief, suppressed the urge to hold him in his arms, and obediently called "Third Young Master".He knew that the Li Chao he knew had completely disappeared.What was lost in his heart was as if he had lost the most precious thing, and he would never be able to find it again in his entire life.He closed his eyes, swallowing back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and when he opened them again, he regained his modest royal demeanor.
"There will be a period later, third son."
goodbye.Li Chao murmured in his heart, but he knew better than anyone else that when they meet again, it may be an endless ending.
"and many more."
Duanmujin paused, turned his head and waited for Li Chao to continue.He heard Li Chao's sad voice: "Brother Ajin, please do me one last favor."
"……it is good."
Li Chao went back to the mansion to pick up things, before he could enter the room, Mancheng waited hesitantly at his door, his eyes were red, and the tears on his face hadn't dried yet.Li Chao knew that Shili's death had hit him hard, and he also knew that he was here to say goodbye.What could he say, he couldn't say anything.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, Mancheng explained his intentions straight to the point. The usually dull young man was full of sadness, and his usually steady voice was trembling slightly, choking several times.
"Master, I want to take San'er home. Before he died, he lay in my arms and told me that he wanted to go back and have a look. Even if he knew that the small mountain village was gone, it was the place where he was born and raised. "San'er is Shili's original name, and the small mountain village doesn't pay much attention to the name, just choose one that can be called by others.Nanting, Shili, and Mancheng are all named after entering the mansion.
"Master, thank you for your care these past few years. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death. Your great kindness is unforgettable. In this life, the whole city can't repay your great kindness. If there is In the next life, the whole city will be like an ox or a horse, with a grass ring."
"Master, the whole city is gone, take care of yourself."
Man Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head three times, carrying ashes ten miles away, and left without looking back.Nan Ting stood behind Li Chao, sobbing softly.Li Chao turned his head and wanted to pat him on the head to comfort him, but he was not tall enough, so he could only pat him on the shoulder instead. "If you want to leave together, follow now, there is still time."
Nan Ting's big sad eyes widened, his mouth curled up, and he cried even harder.He stomped his feet aggrievedly, and finally ran away without looking back. "Oh!" Li Chao sighed a long time.
Li Chao called Li Li and ordered him to take care of the mansion's personnel affairs. If there are still people who want to leave, they will be given a settling-in allowance so that they can settle down.The Li family, I'm afraid they won't be able to return to their former state, if there is a good way out, it's better to leave early.Sure enough, there were still many people in the mansion who wanted to leave, but Li Chao didn't care about these matters. After he instructed Li Li, he tightly held the small dark green porcelain bottle in his arms, and headed towards the place he had agreed with Duanmu Jin.
He asked Duanmu Jin for help, nothing else, but secretly went to the Cixin Nunnery to meet Gongsun Qingxi.The next thing he has to do is not so open and aboveboard. Apart from asking Duan Mujin for help, he can only go to the Cixin Nunnery at night.As the place where the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager worship the Buddha, the latter is too difficult, and if one is not careful, he will be arrested. Instead, he followed Duanmu Jin, thinking that the empress mother prayed for blessings, and entered the Cixin Nunnery grandiosely.
Li Chao put on the eunuch's uniform, followed Duanmu Jin, and swaggered into the Cixin Nunnery. No one doubted his identity. Even though he had rare white hair, in the eyes of others, there were one or two strange people around the prince. No surprise.When he sneaked into Gongsun Qingxi's room, Gongsun Qingxi was sitting on the futon and meditating on the Heart Sutra.Suddenly hearing Li Chao's voice, she thought she was hallucinating, until Li Chao yelled again, she turned her head uncertainly, just one glance, that white hair made Gongsun Qingxi shed tears.
The mother and son cried with their heads in each other's arms, touching Li Chao's hair with their hands, and Gongsun Qingxi's tears, which had been so hard to stop, were about to fall again.
"Chao'er, your hair..."
No one told her that in just a few days, her son, who was still a young man, had gray hair all over his head overnight.She is a mother, how embarrassing!
"Mother, I'm fine. At least, these white hairs are proof that I'm alive." Seeing that Gongsun Qingxi was about to wipe away tears again, Li Chao hurriedly comforted her.After finally calming him down, Gongsun Qingxi asked why Li Chao came here.
Li Chao carefully looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he leaned into Gongsun Qingxi's ear and whispered something that made her face change drastically: "Mother, I want revenge!"
Gongsun Qingxi's eyes froze, and he reached out and used his spiritual power to carve a restriction around the two of them.She pondered for a moment, nodded to Li Chao, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want mother to do?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to wrong my mother for a while." Li Chao told Gongsun Qingxi the plan in detail, and the latter became more and more frightened as he listened to it. What kind of pain did her son go through to come up with such a way to hurt both sides? , What kind of suffering did you go through to change from prime to gray-haired.
She is distressed, she is distressed!
"Don't say it's about this matter, let mother die, as long as she can avenge your father and the others, mother will not hesitate!" After receiving the dark green porcelain bottle handed over by Li Chao, Gongsun Qingxi did not expect that it would hurt her so much. My sister's Xuantian spider poison is still useful.She doesn't have the benevolence to repay grievances with kindness, and her cultivation is against the sky. For her family, it is so difficult to fall into a catastrophe!
Gongsun Qingxi raised his head and drank the poison in one gulp.In order to destroy the corpse, she handed over the porcelain vase to Li Chao, took out a black token from her sleeve, and handed it to Li Chao.
The simple pattern on the token gave Li Chao a familiar feeling. It was heavy and had a strange texture, and Li Chao couldn't guess what material it was made of.Gongsun Qingxi explained the origin of this thing to Li Chao while he was still awake.
"This is the general's order. It is the most unknown and mysterious magic weapon of the Li family. There is a space in it, which can accommodate three thousand elite cavalry to practice together. The speed is twice as fast as that in the cultivation world. This is the Li family's iron cavalry sweeping The ultimate cause of the world. Chao'er, you have to make good use of it, I can't talk about other things..."
At this point, Gongsun Qingxi's voice stopped abruptly. Li Chao looked away from the general's order, and suddenly found that Gongsun Qingxi's eyes were slack, and he began to speak nonsense inarticulately.Li Chao lowered his head and put away all the uncomfortable emotions.In the early morning of tomorrow, everyone in the court will hear about Gongsun Qingxi's delirious and crazy talk after he raged into the Jinluan Palace. The Li family has only three young children, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility. Only in this way can he let the new emperor Don't worry, the Li family is a down-and-out family that poses no threat.
Li Chao put the general order in the package, and looked at Gongsun Qingxi quietly for a while with complicated eyes that he could hardly detect.He said silently from the bottom of his heart: I would like to become an Asura, just for a sunny sky above your heads.
He quietly exited the room, and followed the direction he came to find Duanmu Jin.He knew that Duanmujin could guess that he was playing tricks, he also knew that Duanmujin wouldn't say anything, and he also knew that Duanmujin's unspeakable thoughts that he couldn't even understand, when it came to playing tricks on people's hearts, Li Chao Can not lose to anyone.
Li Chao raised his head to look at the sky, the sky was full of sunset glow, as thick as flames, although the matter came to an end, Li Chao knew better that the days when he could look up at the clouds leisurely were probably few and far between.
