Inferior dominance

Chapter 106 Three Wishes Before Leaving

In the end, the people on Ji Xiao's side left about ten riders to follow our convoy.

Just by looking at that posture, you can tell that the remaining team is an elite force with extraordinary strength, and the other party is always on guard against the possibility of our imperial army counterattacking, and just said: "Don't blame us for not warning, now, the whole world is covered with us. people."

Such an arrogant tone!Beside me, those who were loyal to the emperor distorted their morale.

The second city near the capital is named "Chang". I was afraid that Ms. Song's whereabouts in the carriage would be exposed, so I only asked the soldiers who worked for Ji Xiao to wait outside the city gate.

Maybe they were also afraid that I would just run away like that, so they didn't agree with anything.

So in the end, I could only compromise with each other—I brought two officers to follow, and my hands and feet would be tied with hemp ropes to prevent me from escaping. Correspondingly, the two accompanying officers could only wear black cloth blindfolds to prevent them Know exactly what we are doing and where we are going.

The two imperial guards loyal to the prince saw me being held hostage in this way, and they occasionally showed a look of unbearable expression on their faces, but why didn't I feel sad when I looked at them?

If Ji Xiao ruled the world, what would happen to these people who were originally loyal to the prince?I'm afraid they will only be killed because they are on the wrong team, but in essence, what crime do they have?

In the end, I asked the imperial army to take Ms. Song out of the carriage at the place that my elder brother had planned for us in advance. The place was extremely secret, with an inner room leading to the third underground floor, and it was also the place where the royal family often rested when they fled. Ms. Song is there, and the transfer is also very convenient. In terms of safety, you can rest assured.

I left most of the valuable gold and silver to Ms. Song, plus the ones she owns. After estimating that she should not have to worry about the rest of her life, I used the remaining money to send away those who had stayed in Servant by my side.

As for the imperial guards currently used to protect our safety, my elder brother said before leaving that we have already prepared a way out for them...if they can survive.

Ms. Song's eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow. She frowned slightly and looked at me. I think at this moment, she should already know that I will eventually leave her.

"I'm sorry, I promised my brother that I will take good care of you." Gently put my hand on her shoulder, I saw the tears seeping from her eyes, and her cool fingertips lightly touched mine. On the cheek, "Good boy..."

Speaking of which, Ms. Song should be regarded as the only woman who is closest to the image of "mother" in my short life.

"take care of yourself."

"If you have a chance, you can write a letter."

After explaining each other's affairs with a few simple words, I turned around and asked someone to take her away.

Although I know that this may be the last time we meet, for this woman... I don't spend much time with her, trying to avoid some soft emotions deep in my heart, confirming that they are finally gone, I turned my head to face the person behind me. The sergeants said:

"Okay, let's go."

The process of returning to the capital was not as comfortable as when leaving.

I don't know how to ride a horse, so I managed to sit on it, and the bumps were really uncomfortable. In my arms, the owl parrot could no longer stand in it because of the excessive vibration of the cage, as if it was really dead, and fell down in the cage. .

How much I wish it was alive. If it was alive, I could open the cage and let it fly away, instead of making it like me, enduring bumps and fatigue, and only allowing others to control their own destiny.

Although I don't know what kind of character I am in the eyes of these people who came to arrest me, but judging from their attitude, it seems that they don't pay much attention to me, but they won't kill me.

Since I don't doubt the importance of myself in Ji Xiao's heart, I endured it all the way, trying my best to turn myself into a transparent person without saying a word.

I faintly thought that Ji Xiao would have his own plans, and what he was thinking, not only me, but even the people who are helping him now are not clear.

Many of these people are eager for quick success and quick profit. Along the way, they sang praises of Ji Xiao's great achievements on the surface, but in fact they secretly calculated whether they would be promoted to rank after the success.

At that moment, I felt extremely disgusted with this absurd world, my mind was dizzy, and my body felt cold.

Once I thought that I might see my elder brother's body lying in front of me, I felt as if my heart was being crushed hard. Maybe such symptoms would be better after seeing Ji Xiao?Maybe I can smell his scent, hear his voice... I know he is waiting for me in the capital.

Presumably, Ji Xiao still hates his elder brother deeply.

If you want to blame it, you can blame it all for being too erratic, the elder brother gradually began to wake up after killing the emperor, it was too late, it was already too late!

Although I tried my best to minimize my sense of existence, my state seemed to have attracted the attention of those soldiers after all. They were kind enough to put their warm clothes on me one by one.

And I looked at my love owl parrot, gently stretched my hand into the cage, and touched it lightly.

I know, it's already dead.

"My God, Xiangrui can't be sick."

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Fuck, what a hassle."

I don't know what happened to me, I was fine when my elder brother arranged for me to leave the capital, but at this moment, it seems that I am about to approach some indescribable horror, the closer I get to the capital, the more depressed I become, Even if I hypnotize myself and force myself to cheer up, I still can't change that state.

My mind has gradually become chaotic. Occasionally, I will think of some very cruel picture fragments, but they are so untraceable. When I search carefully, it is like quicksand in the palm of my hand, pouring away in a hurry .

When I arrived in the capital, breathing the air there, I felt my body was already crumbling.

I saw the dilapidated streets and alleys, and the original bustling wonders of Kyoto have now become a piece of scorched ruins.

In the capital, there seemed to be no one except us, and the sky seemed to be dyed blood red, accompanied by gusts of wind, which set off the desolate scenery here.

At this time, far away, I heard the sound of horseshoes from far to near.

Someone is coming.

The man was dressed in dilapidated battle armor, which was not exclusive to the imperial army. There was a kind of frantic excitement and joy in his eyes, and his voice echoed in the empty streets, one after another——

"The city is broken! The former prince has become a prisoner! A new king is born!"

"The city is broken! The former prince has become a prisoner! A new king has been born!"

"city……"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, who is the new king? Be careful." Beside me, the voice of the soldier escorting me was not lacking in complacency. He glanced at me sideways, as if observing my reaction.

"It's the second prince of the late emperor! The original son of Prince Dun's Mansion! Ji Xiao!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The soldiers around me knelt on the ground one by one, they pulled me and forced my head to the ground, and I...

I was not happy at all.

The world in front of me began to blur, vaguely, and my body seemed to overlap with someone else.

Oh, yes, I am Xiaoguan, a lowly Xiaoguan, even if the emperor recognizes him as an adopted son, he is still Xiaoguan. The person I love was originally the prince, but now he is the emperor.

I had a quarrel with him last night, and today he called me back to the palace. I have always been unable to refuse his request. I used to be unable to refuse his request, but now...he has become the emperor, and I cannot resist the order.

I staggered towards the palace, well, maybe it wasn't "going", a sedan chair made a special trip to take me back to the palace.

On the way, I heard people in the road saying that the emperor is very happy today.

today……

He is very happy today.

why?I was thinking, I have been with him for so many years, but I have never seen him happy, even if he is happy, it is fake.

So someone told me that he was happy because he finally caught the former prince, um, the former prince who became a traitor.

Oh, is it so?I think, is it the former prince?Was it the former prince who spoke softly, never seemed to get angry, and could deal with it calmly even if he was betrayed?

Yes yes, it was him, a voice in my heart said playfully to me, the one you betrayed.

The sedan chair finally stopped, and someone told me to go up the palace wall, saying that the emperor was waiting for me there, together with the former prince.

The palace wall is very high, very high, and my feet are very tired from walking, but it seems that there is still some hope in my heart. I naively thought that the emperor would really wait for me with the former prince.

I was wondering, are they reconciled?

And when I walked up the palace wall, what kind of scenery did I see?

One drop, two drops, I heard the sound of some liquid dripping on the ground.

I seem to have seen something hanging high on a stand.

The man was suspended, and accompanied by the sound of hunting wind, he swayed lightly in my sight. His clothes were stained mottled by blood, as if he could no longer see the original color.

I stopped in my footsteps, I thought I was screaming, but in fact I couldn't make any sound. At that moment, my hands and feet felt cold, and the next second, I heard a voice with a smile coming from behind.

"You're here." Even if I don't look back, I will always be able to recognize the tone that is exclusive to Shizi.

"I asked you to come up to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The atmosphere is just right now. Do you want to do it here?" Shizi's voice seemed to be licking my ear, with a little carelessness. I turned back and stared at his face, which was the one I was most familiar with. That rebellious look.

But I don't know why, but at this moment, I feel that he is very strange.

I forget exactly what I said, but the overall meaning remains the same, it's just "he's a good guy" and "what's the point of you doing this".

"He's a good guy?" With a sneer, Shizi probably thought I was making a big joke, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

But I didn't speak, and looked at him in silence with great sorrow.

In my ears, there is the sound of blood dripping on the ground, one drop, two drops, three drops...

"I originally wanted to share my joy with you." Shizi frowned, and slowly narrowed his eyes, "When did you become a gang with him? Or did you get turned against him?"

joy?I couldn't believe that he could still say such words at this moment. His footsteps were chaotic, and I backed away again and again. Tears had flowed all over my face at some point, but the corners of my mouth were hooked.

I'm laughing, I'm laughing.

I laughed at my own ignorance. It was only at this moment that I realized that the person I tried to give my heart to was actually a heartless monster. I laughed at my own stupidity. I once admired him, admired him, and even worshiped him sincerely. over him.

And now, when all emotion washes away, I feel nothing but pity.

That's right, mercy.

I pity him as a person, but he does not have the most basic feelings that people should have; I pity his happiness is so cruel and low-level, even a humble person like me will have contempt; I pity him for A powerful opponent has no basic respect. He tramples on the soles of the people he was once difficult to defeat, which is equivalent to... he is demeaning himself.

I feel pity, myself, that I tried in vain to gain affection from such a person, and even supported him step by step to a high position, watching him lose himself in the desire for power.

"Ji Xiao, please stand up and take a look, what is left by your side now?" I have never said such a sentence so harshly, I gritted my teeth and screamed hoarsely, like a poor man trying to be with you at the last moment. The sound awakens a deaf man.

"Do you think this will represent your victory?" Slowly, I stepped back, and the moment he got up, I heard the sound of cavalry stepping up quickly under the palace wall.

"Wake up, son, wake up!" There was never a moment when I felt that my life had become an absurdity, a joke.

As he approached, as if afraid of a monster, I backed up again and again, with the cold bricks stuck to my back, and I had reached the edge of the palace wall.

It's okay to die like this, but there has never been a moment when such a thought was so clear.

"...What are you doing?" Not far away, Ji Xiao stared at me as if he thought it was ridiculous. After a long time, he raised the corners of his lips, "Are you going to die for such a person?"

"No, Your Majesty, I feel sad. I just think that I may have to meet you in the future, so I would rather die of shame." I opened my arms and laughed, "Is it in your eyes that you are like me? Is it worthless to live in this world? I tried to convince myself not to feel that way, but I never thought that one day I would feel unworthy because of you."

"You threaten me with your life?" Ji Xiao smiled, "You might as well talk about your conditions."

Okay, very good, as expected of the eldest son I know, "Your Majesty, I don't want to negotiate terms with you. If you want to negotiate terms, I might as well talk to heaven, and this damn fate."

"I would like to curse you, Your Majesty. I use my life to wish that in your next life you will have a heart, but you will never be able to love it, and you will never end well." Blinking my eyes, perhaps I thought of myself in this life, I listened to the wind of Lie Lie , shed tears.

"Secondly, I wish my humble and ridiculous feelings for you will stay in this damned world forever, strip me, and never get along with each other."

"Three wishes..." Looking back at my wandering life, it was always for others and never for myself. "Three wishes, I will be born in a good family in my next life, and I will no longer live humblely." If the wish is not for oneself, then it is too inappropriate.

The body fell rapidly, and on the high city wall, I seemed to see the mask-like face of Shizi Ji Xiao that would never have cracks.

Everything is clear, but in a blink of an eye.

When I came back to my senses, I found that I was stepping on the stairs leading to the top of the palace wall.

Oh yes, it is said that my return time is exactly right, according to the order of the escort, at this moment, I should go to the wall of the palace to meet the new king who just took office.

... Time has passed, and I am facing the same situation again... So now, what should I do?
