Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 234 Decisive

"Third brother... don't you... you know something?" Zimo's lips were trembling slightly, Gao Xiaowan's eyes were bloodshot, looking at Zimo panicked because of surprise and shame He looked at a loss, as if he was discouraged, his heart was hurting, he lowered his head to secretly hide the resentment and resentment in his eyes, turned around and his eyes froze in the void.

"I don't know anything. Winners and losers, I, Gao Xiaowan, have nothing to do with anyone else. You can go quickly." After a long time, Gao Xiaowan said slowly, as if he was pressing all the pain and sorrow in his chest , adjusted his thoughts, then slowly turned his head, and said to Zi Mo with a cold face.

"No..." Zi Mo shook his head, and said with red eyes, "This is not right... Xiao Wan, did you misunderstand something, so you became uncharacteristically cruel?!" Zimo approached the fence of the cage and asked.

"Misunderstanding?..." Gao Xiaowan turned his face abruptly, the anger that had been forcibly suppressed before kept beating like a dark fire in his eyes, he looked at the fourth brother in front of him in disbelief, misunderstood? !

"So you called this a misunderstanding... Hahahaha, Gao Changgong, you actually called this a misunderstanding!" With a touch, the third brother's hands suddenly grabbed Zimo's hand tightly, until The joints turned white and there were bloodstains on Zimo's hand. The heavy iron chain on his wrist hit the cage with the movement of him pulling Zimo's arm, making a harsh sound.

"Gao Changgong, are you still the son of Emperor Wenxiang?! Didn't your father and mother give you this good skin so that you could lie down on that man with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes to seek glory and wealth!! You, don't you have any backbone and dignity? !!" With a roar, it seemed that an invisible dagger had been dug into Zi Mo's heart, and tears filled his eyes instantly.Xiao Wan looked straight into those eyes, and the fingertips pinched into the back of Zi Mo's hand trembled involuntarily.

What the hell did he just say? . . . . . .Gao Xiaowan gasped.

What he was going to say was not that, he didn't want to hurt the fourth brother at all, the fourth brother had done enough, he knew he couldn't help himself. . . . . .However, when he uttered the word "misunderstanding" from Chang Gong's mouth, he seemed to have lost his mind and went mad, taunting his fourth brother with the most vicious and harsh words.He couldn't bear the fact that his fourth brother was still partial to that beast that was inferior to him, and his jealousy instantly made him lose the restraint he should have.

"Chang Gong... The third brother made a mistake, and the third brother apologizes to you. Don't cry, the third brother made a mistake, can I apologize to you? The third brother knows that it is the thing that is not as good as a beast that forced you , he must be forcing you with the safety of the Gao family, right? In fact, it’s all my fault, I’m so useless! As the eldest son and grandson of the so-called Daqi royal family, if I have a little bit of use, I definitely don’t need the fourth brother to involve you everywhere It’s dangerous to beg for mercy! Back then, someone in the long room wanted to go to the border, if I had a little bit of courage to be an elder brother, I should go, but I’m afraid, I don’t know if I can survive that kind of bloody wind So I don't dare to ask for orders to go to northern Xinjiang for you, so I can only cower in Yecheng every day, writing to you and sending herbs... I'm afraid that my mother will be angry, so I won't I dared to go to the north to see you, so when I met again, it was already six years later when you returned home, and I almost didn't recognize you..." Xiao Wan cried hard, tears and snot streaming down her nose, in a panic Unbearable.

It turns out that Xiaowan, a brat, has always faced him with so much guilt.Should it be said that he was too stupid or took his fourth brother too seriously. . . . . .Zi Mo put his hands on the third brother's face, wiped his dirty face clean, smiled slightly, Xiao Wan thought Chang Gong was not angry anymore, and felt relieved.

"Third brother, you really misunderstood. If you are talking about the matter between me and His Majesty today, then you really wronged him." Suddenly, Zimo said.Caught off guard, Gao Xiaowan's eyes widened, as if a lump was stuck in his throat.The small iron windows of the dungeon did not let in much light, but it was raining heavily outside, and even the straw on the side of the wall was wet.A sky full of dark clouds, thunder and lightning.

"What? What did you say? You don't have to excuse him, I saw him with my own eyes..." Gao Xiaowan clenched her fists, frowned, and spat, but finally she had no face to say anything to that immoral person. Speak out when you see something.

Zimo's heart collapsed.Xiao Wan really did it for him. . . . . .

There was steam in his eyes, but he couldn't cry anymore.

"Third Brother, Uncle Jiu and I are in love with each other. He didn't persecute me. On the contrary, Uncle Jiu saved me from danger several times. Without him, I would have died many times. I admire him, I fall in love with him. I don’t want third brother to be in trouble with uncle Jiu, so I rushed back to Yecheng to persuade you after receiving an edict from His Majesty. The rebellion in Guangzhou city has been put down, do you know who captured King Gaoli of Le’an?” Mo raised his head and said without changing his expression.

Xiao Wan's parched lips trembled uncontrollably, looking at Zi Mo with disappointment and disbelief in his eyes.

"It's me. I, Gao Changgong, relied on being ordered by the emperor to charge into battle again and again and fight with my life to get to where I am today. The generals of the Manchu Dynasty, now only Duan Shao, who is over fifty years old, and Murong Shaozong, who guards the northern border, and My master Luodiao Dudu can stand shoulder to shoulder with me Gao Changgong, do you really think that without the favor of Jiu Shu, I can have such achievements at this age?!" Zi Mo's mouth curled into a mocking smile, but the wounds in his eyes were concealed well done.

He probably really is the second life, so when it comes to acting, how can Gao Xiaowan, a brat, be his opponent.With a sneer, he raised his eyebrows flirtatiously and seductively, as if he was a treacherous minister who was proud of his favor.

"...Nonsense!" Gao Xiaowan looked at the fourth younger brother in disbelief. His fourth younger brother was upright, noble and talented, how could he voluntarily become that Gao Zhan's obscenity!

"Gao Changgong, do you know what you're talking about! Ah? Let me tell you, if you make nonsense to save me and make me regret rebelling and make me confess, I tell you, I, Gao Xiaowan, are not that stupid!!" Xiao Wan shouted loudly.

Outside the prison, it was pouring rain.

In such a cold and twelfth lunar month, there was a deafening thunder, which seemed to collapse the world.

"Third brother, we only met when we were eight years old. Although we are brothers, our identities are very different. You are the son of the aunt, the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family. As for me, I don't know who my mother is. You are used to being pampered." Life, but you don’t know my sufferings since I was a child. Although we are the same age, you don’t know that my disposition has been different from yours since I was a child. The reason I have a good relationship with you is because you are the eldest son and grandson of the Gao family. Your successor, you are an upright person and never look down on me because of my background. It has been so many years, this is the reason why I am close to my third brother. My father told me that we must always put you first and respect you. You, because I am different from you, you are clamoring all day long to go to the battlefield, saying why father asked Hulu Mingyue to accept me as a disciple but not let you learn superb martial arts, third brother, this is the difference between noble and humble ... I, Gao Changgong, are at most a military commander in my father's eyes. He doesn't want you to go to the battlefield at all. Sometimes I also hate, why are they all of average age, my birthday is before yours and you But the third brother... Later I figured it out, I just have to fight with my bare hands to live a good life, so Uncle Jiu and I hit it off right away. Heh, Uncle Jiu said that I Good-looking, I think about the position in Uncle Jiu's hands, besides, Uncle Jiu is handsome, affectionate and personable, and he looks very much like our father, when we are with him, I always feel as if Dad is still alive. . ..."

"That's enough! You shameless, humiliating thing!!!!" Gao Xiaowan had already endured to the extreme, and with a punch, the bones of his hand hit the iron fence, dripping with blood, and his The long dirty nails that hadn't been trimmed for a long time scratched Zimo's head and neck heavily, leaving a long bloodstain.

Zi Mo frowned, but did not dodge.Feeling his neck burning, he raised his hand to cover it.

Xiao Wan was in extreme pain, and kept beating the cage with her hands locked with thick chains.There was thunder and lightning outside, as if the sky was about to be split into two halves.Xiao Wan didn't cry, just held her head in her hands, unwilling to look at Chang Gong again.

"Third brother, do you know how unworthy you are? For me, you ruined your great future in vain. I could not tell you this, but then I thought that you treated me well in the past. I, Gao Changgong, am not a wolf-hearted person, so I just I came here to tell you this. Third brother, we grew up together, but now we have passed those carefree years. Everyone has his own ambitions. I don’t ask you to agree with what I do, but I can’t just look at you With your own passion and self-righteous thoughts, you have ruined the life of Gaofu's first family. If you want to die, do you know how many people will be implicated by you?! If you said that you did it for me, the fourth brother , I, Gao Changgong, can't bear your heavy love, I'm fine, I have no complaints or regrets along the way, all this is what I want, and everything is as I wish...Think about it Auntie, if you die, what will happen to her? I am just your fourth brother, I don’t need you to do this for me. Gao Xiaowan, I’m done with this, think about it carefully..."

Zimo took a deep breath and turned around slowly.He knew that the third brother was looking at him, but he didn't have the courage to look back at the third brother again.

There are countless cages on both sides of the long corridor.He walked, but he didn't know where he was.Those double images dangled before his eyes, and countless fragments flashed across his mind abruptly.

Now that the words have come to this point, the third brother may not forgive him in this life. . . . . .But as long as he is alive, so what if the grace is broken?

He had almost seen the exit of the sky prison, but suddenly he heard someone calling him.

Zi Mo turned his head and looked, that person was the aunt Yuan Zhonghua.

The aunt has a noble status, if she hadn't insisted on being with Xiao Wan, she wouldn't have suffered in the prison today.

Even today, the aunt's temples are still sparse and obedient, and when she sees Zimo, she still has her chin raised high as in Gao's mansion.

"Ma'am." Zi Mo saluted.

"Well, have you met your third brother?" Yuan Zhonghua asked.

"Yes, third brother will think about it, auntie, don't worry too much." Zimo said.

Yuan Zhonghua looked at him from the prison, sneered, and said: "In the whole world, only you, a good fourth brother, can persuade him, and my son will rebel?! Hehe, who knows about this? Sometimes I feel like I’m dreaming, and for a long time here, I couldn’t sleep at night, I kept thinking about what made my honest and honest son have such a bold idea!”

. . . . . . "Third brother was impulsive at the moment. He must have been bewitched by some treacherous officials. They used the excuse of reviving Wenxiang's lineage to make third brother go wrong." Zimo said.

"Wrong errands? Do you really think he is wrong?" The aunt suddenly came over, stared at Zimo from a close distance and said softly.

"Ma'am?..." Zimo wanted to leave, but Yuan Zhonghua grabbed his hand and made him move closer.

"Xiaowan is noble and uncommon, and the country of Daqi should belong to him! He is right, and I am even relieved that my son has finally enlightened. If he is wrong, he is only wrong about one thing, and that is It's too much of a woman's benevolence, if he doesn't come back to Yecheng to pick me up, it's still unknown who will die!"

"Ma'am?" Zimo felt that Yuan Zhonghua was very different from his usual dignity, and his eyes were full of hostility and determination.

"So, I was the one who dragged Xiao Wan down. It was me who booked him that marriage and married a woman who deserved to be hacked into pieces... If this woman hadn't told the truth, my son would be here now. The ninth-fifth position!" The aunt raised her head slightly, as if the image of the third brother in the dragon robe appeared in her mind, Zimo wanted to take out her hand, but the aunt refused to let go, and said, "Gao Changgong, Xiaowan, even if he confesses now, whether he can find a way to survive depends on Gao Zhan's thoughts. So, I, Yuan Zhonghua, beg you, you must ask the emperor to pardon your third brother. I know that you have a very close relationship with Gao Zhan Back then, I planned to let you enter Emperor Wenxuan's palace. I thought I could get rid of you, but who would have thought that I got the news of Gao Yang's death, so you don't have to hide it from me." The aunt's eyes were strange, and she seemed to see through Zimo with a strange smile. secret.

"Even if you don't tell me, I won't watch Xiaowan die. Madam, take care, and wait for my news." Zimo didn't want to talk to this woman any more, so he pulled away and left again.

"No! I, Yuan Zhonghua, don't believe anyone. How can I believe that you will rescue my son?" Yuan Zhonghua still twisted Zimo's hand tightly, smiled coldly, and leaned forward to talk to Zimo gently. Said, "Well, how about I exchange your biological mother's secret with you?"

"What?!" Zi Mo was taken aback. For so many years, no one had ever mentioned the matter of Gao Changgong's birth mother to him.

"Oh, how? You are probably so old that you don't even know what your mother's name is, where she came from, and who she is. Also, after the woman's death, the memorial tablet can't even enter the Gao family's ancestral hall. Telling you about her? Aren't you curious? How did she come to that nunnery, and how did she die...!" Yuan Zhonghua whispered.

Zi Mo was shocked, he looked at the aunt, and asked: "How do you know?"

"Hahaha, me? I am the majestic Princess Feng Yi of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the first wife of the great prime minister Gao Cheng who overshadowed the sky at that time. At that time, my elder brother Yuan Shanjian was on the throne. I, Yuan Zhonghua, want to know Is there anything else that can't be found?"

"You?..." Zimo looked at the woman suspiciously, Yuan Zhonghua clasped his hands on Zimo's, as if he had exhausted all his strength, stared at Zimo and said word by word : "Gao Changgong, I want you to promise me that you will save my son Xiao Wan at all costs. As long as I can see him get out of the prison alive, I will tell you everything you want and tell you everything you want to know." .It can also let you kill your mother's enemies with your own hands, and let your mother die under the nine springs."

Yuan Zhonghua stared at Zimo motionlessly, waiting for his reply.It wasn't until the dazzlingly beautiful man in front of her nodded heavily that she let go of Zimo's hand with a happy smile.

Zi Mo bid farewell to the aunt, turned around, paused and said: "Auntie, third brother is my closest relative, why do you have to do this... I always think of you as my mother. "

"Gao Changgong, I can't have a son like you, and I don't care about it. We should be less hypocritical. I have only had one son, Xiaowan, and I only believe that he loves him, you? We have never done this in this life." fate."

The aunt is the aunt, as for this situation, she is still the mistress of the Gao family who refuses to bow her head.She didn't need his sympathy and compassion, and would rather exchange conditions than owe him favors.

"Okay." Zimo nodded lonely, and went straight to the exit of the prison.

The rain outside seemed to shake the entire imperial city, and the thunder split through the thick clouds.

As soon as the wound on the neck that was scratched open by the third brother got wet with rain, long and thin blood gushed out and meandered into Zimo's lapel.

The heavy rain poured down, and the thunder and fireworks bloomed under the dark sky.

After leaving the sky prison, there were almost no people on the street, even if there was an occasional person driving a carriage, he hurried away, the wheels of the carriage turned quickly and pressed against the bluestone slabs, and then flew past.

It was as if submerged in the water from the beginning to the end, and Zimo was blinded by the heavy rain.The guards in front of the palace gate saluted him, and Zimo was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he had walked back to the palace again.

The hair was close to his face, the bridge of the nose was dripping with drops of water, he opened his mouth slightly, and poured it into his mouth.

Why are you here again?Looking at the plaque on the palace gate, Zimo stared blankly in the rain, motionless.

The strong wind whipped up the torrential rain, and the water splashed in mid-air as if reversed, as if immortal energy had risen from the body of the charming Lanling King, as if he was about to become a feather.

. . . . . .That's right, he has to come here, where else can he go besides coming here?

Ha ha.

Zimo smiled wryly with his eyes closed, and raised his hand to wipe his face.The long hair stuck to the side of his face, and the wound on his neck was hot, but it also seemed to be a brand to remind him that the third brother was going to die, so he couldn't stand to shrink back and hesitate.

An Rui was startled when he saw King Lanling, who was soaked all over his body, and went up to meet him and said, "Your Highness, why are you here in such heavy rain? It doesn't matter the waist card, just return it to the slave tomorrow."

Zimo just looked straight at the closed door of the palace, and ignored An Rui. He walked out of the corridor, went under the pedestal of the emperor's palace, straightened his robes that had been soaked by rain, Kneeling on the ground.

The water splashed and the rain became heavier.

"Oh, Your Highness Chang Gong, what are you doing? Come back soon! It's raining too much!" An Rui was anxious, and ordered the maid beside him to quickly fetch an oiled paper umbrella.

"Your Majesty, Gao Changgong, I beseech you, Your Majesty! I hope that Your Majesty will give Hejian King a chance!" After speaking, he lowered his head and slammed it on the ground in front of the palace. Standing up, the red mark on his forehead was about to drop.The rain hit the man who looked like a banished immortal, and a thunderbolt flashed across. In the boundless world, there was only his kneeling, resolute and motionless figure.

"Chen Gao Changgong, please see the Holy One! I hope His Majesty can give King Hejian a chance!" Zi Mo shouted loudly, the sky was filled with thunder, and his throat was already hoarse.He bowed his head and knocked hard, even if he broke his head, he would continue to wait here.

"Minister Gao Changgong, please see the Holy One! I hope Your Majesty will put aside past suspicions...Give Gao Changgong a chance!" After finishing speaking, Zimo was about to knock down his head heavily for the third time, when he squeaked, there seemed to be some movement.Looking up, the gate of the palace finally opened slowly.

Gao Zhan was dressed in plain clothes and tall and tall, but he just maintained the posture of opening the palace door and stared at him intently. Through the rain curtain that seemed to be pouring down, Zi Mo saw the man's face, and he couldn't help but collapsed backwards as if relieved Some bodies sat on the ground.Seeing a glimmer of hope for the third brother, Zimo let the rain wash away and couldn't help laughing.

Ah~~~~~~~ It's not short little gentleman!
