Chapter 21 [End]
The aftermath was left to Li Hong and the others. The disciples of the Sutra Pavilion rested for two days, found a quiet mountain stream, and buried the disciples who died in battle.Led by Bai Li'an and Ning Xin Chuze, all the disciples who survived the battle stood in front of the grave and recited scriptures silently to see off their former brothers.After some simple ceremonies, Baili An ordered everyone to go back to take a good rest, and turned to look at his big apprentice. Since Ning Xin came out of Liu's residence yesterday, he looked distraught and depressed.Bai Lian looked at Chu Ze, and Chu Ze was also looking at him. The two of them didn't speak, and Chu Ze knew what Master was thinking. All the disciples went down the mountain together, leaving only Bai Lian and Ning Xin standing in front of the tomb, relatively speechless.
"An'er."
Hearing this, Bai Lian slowly raised his head to look at him,
"Master..."
"Don't call me master again, I am your uncle."
"..."
Bai Lian lowered his head and didn't reply.
"What are you worrying about? Ang'er, I have taught you how to be kind and loving, how to govern the country, and how to govern the country. Now you understand what I mean?"
Bai Lian nodded, but still didn't say anything, Bai Lian approached him, put his head on his shoulder with his hand,
"Ang'er, I know it's too sudden for you to take on these tasks. But this is your mission, and everyone has a mission that they cannot choose. Bailiying is a disaster for the common people, and the common people need a sensible and caring emperor Save them, aren't you willing to take up this burden and fulfill your mission?"
"I do! Of course I want to save the people."
Bai Lian raised his head excitedly, but Bai Lian just looked at him without speaking.
"It's just...just master... Uncle Huang, I don't know if I can do well. Every time I fight, you and Ze'er are in front of me to protect me and kill the enemy. I have never been able to do anything useful. Instead, I need someone to protect me like a burden. How can I, a weak person like you, save the people and govern a country like you said?"
"So...Ang'er, have you seen the emperors of all dynasties, how many of them went to the battlefield and dedicated themselves to killing the enemy? Everyone protects you and fights for you because you have something you want to do, and you have to do it What you want is not to bear the brunt on the battlefield, let alone to die in battle. We are all your ministers. We can conquer the country for you and push you to the throne, but what you do afterwards is your value. Only you can Only by saving the common people can this horrible world be restored. You have something to do, but the time has not yet come, understand?"
Bai Lian stared blankly at his master. Since he was a child, Bai Lian had hardly talked with himself so tenderly. His teachings were somewhat harsh and unquestionable.Such a master made him feel at ease and made him feel Bai Lian's love for him.Suddenly, the tip of his nose became sour, and Bai Lian's eyes were red, and tears gushed out uncontrollably.Bai Lian smiled and took him into his arms again,
"Cry, but after you go down the mountain, you will be Bai Lian, the future emperor, understand?"
Bai Lian buried his head on his shoulder and nodded, and suddenly cried out with a "wow".
In the evening, everyone had dinner and went to do their own things.Chu Ze chatted and laughed with a disciple and walked towards his residence. Before he got close to the courtyard, he saw Bai Lian walking out of the courtyard with a long object and walking up the mountain.
"Hey, it's so late, where is Master Ziya going?"
"Maybe there is something wrong, you go and rest, I will go back too."
After Chu Ze said goodbye to the disciple, he pretended to go to his own courtyard, and when the disciple was far away, Chu Ze walked out of the courtyard again and followed Bai Lian to the mountain.
There is a small waterfall in the mountain. Bai Lian walked to the waterfall, raised his hand to look at the things in his hand, and uncovered the wrapped cloth strips. Mo Beihan's sword was brightly illuminated by the moon.Bai Lian looked at the sword in his hand, a little dazed,
"What is Master thinking?"
Chu Ze interrupted Bai Lian's thoughts, and Bai Lian glanced sideways at the person who came, Chu Ze approached him, looked exaggeratedly at the sword in his hand, then looked at Bai Lian again,
"What's the past between Master and Mo Beihan?"
Bai Lian raised his eyes and glanced at him, then turned his head to look at the waterfall with the sword in his hand,
"In fact, he is not a bad person."
Chu Ze followed behind him without saying a word.
"When I went down the mountain, I sneaked into the palace alone. I didn't want to be plotted against and besieged in the palace. With my martial arts, the guards in the palace were naturally no match. The one who took me down was Mo Beihan. I thought I I'm doomed, but I don't want Bailiying to ask me to work for him to save the life of my mother and concubine, but every time I go to war, I am under Mo Beihan's subordinates. Instead of embarrassing me, he even protects me many times. Later, I accidentally found out that it was he who saved my life and asked Bailiying to let me go out with him."
"I am an enemy and not a friend to him, but he treats me honestly. I have expressed our position with him, but what I got... was some unexpected... words. It is hard to believe what he thinks , but he was indeed sincere to me, so although I was hostile to him, I never...sincerely thought of killing him..."
"He is a kind and righteous person, but it's a pity that we have different positions, and we are helpless in the end."
After finishing speaking, Bai Lian suddenly flew up to the waterfall, raised the sword in his hand and glanced at it, focused his attention on it, thrust it hard, and thrust the sword into the pebbles behind the waterfall.Flying down in front of Chu Ze, Bai Lian's right sleeve was already soaked. Chu Ze stood there looking at him without saying a word.Bai Lian looked up at him, feeling uneasy in his heart. He knew that Chu Ze must have a lot to say, and he was hesitating whether to listen, or whether he should go down the mountain immediately and not talk to him.
To his surprise, Chu Ze didn't say anything, just turned around and walked down the mountain along the stepped path.Bai Lian looked at his back as he walked away, feeling a little depressed.
Mo Beihan, the number one general in the court, was killed, and an army of 10,000+ surrendered to the Lingnan uprising army.When this news spread to the people, people secretly applauded it, and the people ignited hope for life.But when it was introduced into the court, Baili Ying smashed the entire study.He ordered other generals to lead heavy troops to destroy the Lingnan Army, but all they got back were the military records of the defeat.The rebel army is getting stronger and stronger, and the captured city is getting closer and closer to the imperial city. Finally, it is a day of dark clouds, and Bai Lian leads the army to surround the entire imperial city. Bai Lian stares at the gate of the city with mixed feelings Miscellaneous Chen, many years ago, it was also such a war-torn city gate. He and his mother were escorted out by the emperor's brother. The way the emperor looked at him was a mark that would never go away.
"kill!"
Fang Aojie raised the banner, the Lingnan Army attacked and opened the city gate, arrows flew all over the sky, screams and screams could be heard endlessly, Chu Ze protected Bai Liang all the way to the main hall, but Bai Lian led several people from the Scripture-Depository Pavilion The disciple went to the harem to find it.
"Bang" kicked the door open, and Bai Lian quickly ran in, but was stunned in the hall,
In the high hall, Concubine Jin was dressed in white and hanged herself on the beam, with two court ladies lying at her feet. The disciples of the Sutra Pavilion behind her immediately went to test it out and found that both of them had been poisoned to death.
Bai Lian stared at the concubine mother hanging high on the beam in a daze, and walked forward slowly, trembling all over.
"Mother concubine...Mother concubine..."
Bai Lian's eyes were red, and tears fell down. Two disciples stepped forward and hugged Concubine Jin down, and laid it on the ground. Bai Lian knelt down in a daze, slowly picked up his mother, and buried his head in on her neck, and wept bitterly.
Bai Liang broke into the hall, killed Baili Ying, and imprisoned all his concubines and heirs.All of a sudden, the palace was full of wars, and the dynasty changed drastically.
When Bai Lian was packing up the belongings of his mother and concubine, he found a letter in the jewelry box, which began with "My son, Ann'er". With trembling fingers, Bai Lian took the letter and sat down beside the bed to read it.A letter is only a thousand words, but Bai Lian saw the evening from noon, until Chu Ze quietly walked into the room and walked to his side, he raised his head and glanced at him as if feeling something.
"They said you've been here since morning, come with me to get something to eat."
"I never thought that during those days when the concubine mother was away, although she was not rich, she was still very happy."
"Oh?"
Seeing that he was smiling, Chu Ze took the opportunity to sit beside him, and stretched his head to read the letter in his hand.
Concubine Jin jumped off the cliff in order to distract the pursuers.Fortunately, there is a river under the cliff, and Concubine Jin was rescued by a young man who went up the mountain to collect medicine.Although he did not die, he was half-disabled and unable to move.The young man's parents died early, so he put all his responsibility on how to treat Concubine Jin. With his efforts, Concubine Jin gradually improved a lot, and the two also secretly fell in love.But Concubine Jin was thinking about the children in her heart, thinking about how to find them every day, the young man promised her that as long as she worked hard to get better, he would search all over the world with her.Concubine Jin with this belief, and under the meticulous care of the young people, was no different from ordinary people and was able to walk around.Those days can be said to be the most comfortable and beautiful time for Concubine Jin.
But the world is erratic. One day a young man went to the mountains to gather medicine, but was captured by officers and soldiers and sent to the army. Concubine Jin went to the government office, crying to let her husband go, but the master found out her identity and took her back to the palace. There was no contact with that young man until his death.
Bai Lian looked at the concubine's handwriting in his hand in a daze, Chu Ze's heart was touched,
"One's life is only a hundred years, and it is so precious to have a lover as a family."
Bai Lian lowered his eyes, and slowly folded up the letter and put it in his sleeve. When he got up to leave, Chu Ze grabbed his wrist. Bai Lian didn't move, and Chu Ze didn't get up either. The two just sat together like this. stand for a long time.
"Master... I..."
"Ze'er, Ang'er is about to ascend the throne as emperor. As a teacher, I only hope that you can protect him and keep him safe. Are you...willing to promise me?"
After being quiet for a while, Chu Ze didn't speak anymore, but let go of the hand holding Bai Lian. Bai Lian's eyes were darkened, and he walked out of the room slowly. With blue veins, he suddenly let go of his hand, with a wicked smile on his face.
Bai Lian was enthroned as emperor, and his year name was changed to "Jianyuan", Chu Ze was named the first general, Liu Guangyi and Li Hong were also appointed as important ministers one by one, but Bai Lian didn't have any title. It seems that Prince An is no longer in this world, and there is no more news of him.
That night, at the big banquet in the imperial court, everyone stopped being restrained and let go of drinking. Liu Guangyi looked at Yu'er sitting beside Chu Ze, who was very well-behaved, secretly happy in his heart, and raised his glass to Chu Ze Proposed.Chu Ze was still immersed in joy, but was stunned on the spot by Uncle Liu's question.Everyone at the table was stunned for a moment, and then booed, Bai Lian also felt that this was a good time, but suddenly remembered something, looked sideways at the people beside him quietly, Bai Lian seemed to agree, Drinking with a smile on your face.Chu Ze stared at him for a long time. There were many people at the table, and Yu'er sat beside him shyly, making him unable to refuse.
It was late at night after the banquet, and everyone had already left the palace to go home, but the emperor's study was still brightly lit.
"What? Ze'er, you don't want to be a general?"
Chu Ze looked at the senior brother in yellow in front of him, smiled and nodded,
"Emperor... Brother, I don't want to be confined to the palace, but don't worry, brother, if you have any needs or dangers, I will definitely come to you as soon as possible."
"Here, where are you going?"
Chu Ze's eyes were bright, he looked at Bai Lian and smiled,
"Go after someone and accompany him to the end of the world."
It was still daylight, and the side door of the imperial city opened, and a man galloped out of the palace on a horse, with white clothes floating behind him against the morning wind.Riding to the mountain stream, the horse went to look for food under the tree. Bai Lian walked to the stream with his hands behind his back, looked at the rising sun, closed his eyes and took a breath, feeling refreshed.
"Master is very comfortable."
Bai Lian opened his eyes suddenly, and looked around as if he was frightened. He frowned, flew up the tree, grabbed Chu Ze by the collar, and took it off.
"Why are you here?!"
Bai Lian was angry, Chu Ze was being carried by him with his waist bowed and hips pouted, as if begging for mercy,
"Why, master, you go to be free and easy, why am I trapped in the palace?"
Bai Lian frowned, and let go, Chu Ze straightened his clothes, and smiled and stuck to him,
"I have already told my brother that if he is in danger, he can contact me. It's just that I still have something to pursue, so I can't stay in the palace with him."
"What do you want to pursue?"
Bai Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Chu Ze squinted his eyes and stared at him without hesitation. Bai Lian frowned and turned around to lead the horse.
"Hey, master, where are you going?"
"Master wait for me."
"Master, this disciple cannot live without you!"
