Chapter 257
Chapter 257
After a night of sudden changes, in the early morning of the second day, ordinary people in the entire capital were huddled in their homes and did not dare to go out, only patrol teams were walking around.
Suddenly two people appeared at the gate of the city and applied to leave the city. The guards at the gate looked at the team following the two men and dared not make decisions without authorization, so they could only inform the commander.As soon as the commander came, he frowned and said: "The higher-ups ordered that entry and exit are strictly prohibited for these few days, unless there are special orders."
"Mr. Lin, you are not allowed to leave the city." The person in charge of monitoring Lin Qingyang behind also stepped forward and said.
Lin Qingyang turned back and said: "I just sent my friend away, isn't that okay? I don't know how long I can live here. My friend is young, and he is just an ordinary doctor. It shouldn't be wrong to let him go. Delay your master with something."
The watcher shook his head and said, "Young Master Lin, don't make things difficult for us."
"Why don't you go and ask your master, I'll wait here, if you don't give me an answer, I'll just rush in, your master should have said don't hurt my life, don't blame me for making you dereliction of duty."
The watcher frowned suddenly, and was about to send someone to inquire.
Suddenly a carriage drove over and stopped, Xu Wenze came out from inside, first glanced at Lin Qingyang worriedly, and then said: "What's the matter?"
The watcher was originally a member of Wei Guogong's mansion. When he saw the young master, he was naturally respectful. After the explanation, he was very embarrassed: "This subordinate also obeys orders."
"You listened to the order that Lin Qingyang was not allowed to leave, but you didn't say that others were not allowed to leave." After hearing what Lin Qingyang meant, Xu Wenze said directly, "Let him go."
"But Japan has been under martial law for the past few days..." The subordinates wondered, after all, it was related to Lin Qingyang. Although they only saw a horse and a young man, who knew if something would happen?
"This man is also my friend. Can't I let him go? If there is anything, I will take responsibility. You can just do your own thing."
After Xu Wenze said this, they could only retreat.
Lin Qingyang thought it was a tough battle, and if Concubine Xu really refused to agree, he could only rely on Chi Teng's ability to bring Mu Huichun to the door, but he didn't expect that Xu Wenze would solve it as soon as he came.
Lin Qingyang was still in a complicated mood when facing Xu Wenze, but he also nodded gratefully.
Xu Wenze was a little ashamed of thanking Lin Qingyang, but Mu Huichun's calm resentment made him feel much more comfortable.
Xu Wenze took a step forward and said to the people around him, "You all stand back, I want to say goodbye to my friend in private."
Everyone took a few steps back, and Xu Wenze approached them and said: "My sister blocked the news, and outsiders don't know the situation in the capital. Before the action, Zhao Cheng sent other teams to interfere with the Huo family's army and confuse the public. Go find Brother Huo and Brother Yue, there are already watchers outside their team, it is no longer safe there."
Lin Qingyang and Mu Huichun's expressions changed. They drew up a few places they could go to. Huo's army was naturally the first choice, and it was the safest recently. However, Lin Qingyang also guessed that someone might be watching. After all, Concubine Xu was thoughtful. If he could learn from others that the six books were written by Chu Li, he would naturally know that Huo Luo and Yue Chen, who had benefited from them, might also be with them, so he had to be on guard.
Fortunately, he also thought of it, so there are still three options, 72 Village has the Dai family siblings, Xiyue State has the Xinyue brothers and sisters, Tongjiaguan has Qi Ci and Ning Ziheng, these situations are too hidden, others must not know .
These are safe spots to go to. Lin Qingyang agreed with Mu Huichun to adapt everything on the road. Mu Huichun also has his own ideas. He really doesn't have the confidence to handle the situation of the senior brother by himself, so he plans to find the master's advice along the way. trace.
At this moment, Xu Wenze must have thought that Mu Huichun was going to seek help from Huo Luo when he came over, so he rushed to remind them, but it saved them some trouble.
"Thank you." Lin Qingyang said to Xu Wenze.
Xu Wenze was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "Qingyang, I brought a man of my own, if you want to gamble, I have a way for you to leave with Mu Huichun."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qingyang fell silent, but Mu Huichun became excited, and immediately pulled Lin Qingyang back, his eyes glowing, he was willing to take a gamble.
But Lin Qingyang shook his head and said, "I can't leave."
Mu Huichun knew what he was worried about, so he said: "It's a big deal, we will split up after we go out, at least you don't stay here, let's try, although this guy is that woman's brother, but I believe he is sincerely helping us." Resentment In spite of the resentment, it was also true that they escaped from Duke Wei's mansion together back then.
Xu Wenze nodded and said: "I will try my best to delay the time. If you act alone, you may have a chance to escape."
"I really can't get away."
Lin Qingyang firmly shook his head at Mu Huichun. Mu Huichun was very disappointed. He didn't know what Lin Qingyang was worried about, but at this moment he could only trust Lin Qingyang.
Mu Huichun took the rein, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, he looked at Lin Qingyang and said, "Take care of yourself, don't die, you know?"
Lin Qingyang nodded firmly, and couldn't help reaching out to pat Chi Teng's body.
"Be good, it's up to you, and send people to a safe place."
It was rare for Chi Teng to be so steady, as well-behaved as a normally tamed horse.
Lin Qingyang looked at the horse's body, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help leaning over. It seemed to others that he was just standing close, using the horse's body to cover his sad expression.
But he was the only one who could see the unconscious Chu Lishu lying on the horse's back.
[The invisibility cloak, when worn by others, will have a shielding effect on everyone except the host, and the effect will last for five hours. 】
Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu's face with red eyes. In fact, he didn't need to look so carefully. He had already engraved every stroke of Chu Lishu's appearance in his heart, but he still couldn't bear to blink at this moment.
Looking at Chu Lishu's obviously frowning restless sleeping face, he knew that his body must be very uncomfortable, but he could only press his forehead against his forehead in distress and take a deep breath.
Unable to say extra words, Lin Qingyang could only gently kiss his dry and pale lips.The breath exclusive to Chu Lishu lingered in his nose, soothing his restless heart.
Reluctant to move away, until a tear slipped down between the two lips, salty and bitter.
Lin Qingyang finally took a deep look at Chu Lishu, and finally took a step back.
But when he took the first step back, he found that he couldn't take the second step at all.
Because his skirt was tightly grasped by one hand.
Lin Qingyang opened his eyes wide in shock, thinking that Chu Lishu had woken up, but when he raised his head, he could only see the unconscious Chu Lishu.
In the eyes of others, Lin Qingyang's clothes were just a little messed up, so they were bulging.
Lin Qingyang was afraid that others would see the clue, so he hurried forward, but heard a slight voice in an instant.
"Follow me...don't...leave me...come with me...go together..."
Lin Qingyang's forced composure almost cracked instantly, and his heart was almost lifted by these words.
The word "um" was in my throat, but I couldn't say it.
He wanted to leave, but he couldn't, and he couldn't implicate Chu Lishu either.
She could only gently hold the hand that was holding him tight, reluctant to touch it, and then tear it off forcefully.
That arm seemed to be thrown off mercilessly by him, which made Lin Qingyang feel a little cruel.
In the next second, Chu Lishu almost gritted his teeth.
"Lin... Qing... Yang!"
Lin Qingyang wanted to cry, but he was already in a coma, so could he still be angry at him?
It is estimated that after waking up, he will be even more angry.
Lin Qingyang closed his eyes, and when Xu Wenze stepped forward to care about his condition, he immediately backed away to stop Xu Wenze from moving forward, lest he hear anything, and then said to Mu Huichun, "Go quickly."
Mu Huichun glanced at Lin Qingyang reluctantly, then turned around and took the horse's rein to leave.
He was walking alone with a horse, the horse didn't even have a saddle, it was bare, so there was nothing to check, it was just hanging some cloth bags, and the cloth bags were found to be medicine after inspection, and Mu Huichun didn't bring anything else.Just let it go.
Lin Qingyang stood at the gate of the city and looked at the figure that was fading away, until Mu Huichun turned on his horse, and with Chi Teng neighing, he could no longer see the figure.
I can't see it, and I don't want to go.
Xu Wenze looked at Lin Qingyang's reddish eyes, and couldn't help but said, "Why don't you want to take the risk, is it because you don't believe me?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Qingyang hadn't thought about it, how could he be willing, how could he rest assured of Chu Lishu.
Even as long as he goes to the subordinates of Chu Lishu's private house, he may be willing to fight to the death to help him escape, but...
From the moment Chu Lishu fell into a coma, the system gave a progress suspension prompt, which was a very serious warning, proving that his ultimate mission was at stake.
If Chu Lishu wakes up and has a way to fight back, the system will not calculate such an answer.Obviously, the development of the matter to this point has seriously interfered with the progress of the plot, and it also made Lin Qingyang understand that even if he tried his best to hide Chu Lishu in the capital, it would definitely be dangerous.So sending Chu Lishu away is the only way.
According to the system's explanation, Lin Qingyang, the host, cannot leave the plot scene until Chu Lishu, who is the hero, continues to return to the main line. His role is to wait for the plot to happen and participate in it, so the progress is suspended , His action is also equivalent to a pause.
In other words, Lin Qingyang couldn't leave the capital at least until Chu Lishu regained his mobility and continued on his way to regain the throne.
So whether it was the system restriction or Xu Bin's monitoring of him, he couldn't go with Chu Lishu.
"Get in the carriage, I'll take you back. I have...some things to tell you." Xu Wenze said bitterly.
Lin Qingyang got into the carriage lifelessly.
Only then did Xu Wenze slowly talk about what happened after last night.
"In the early hours of the morning, the imperial court urgently recalled all the ministers and announced to everyone that it was the rebellion of the four princes. Zhao Cheng was ordered by the emperor to ambush and rescue him, so he faked his death before. The royal family was almost wiped out. Concubine Mei and the four princes were killed Replacing her is tantamount to death, she must have been imprisoned by Zhao Cheng, and now... the imperial court is jointly handled by my sister and the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is just a name, and my sister is actually in charge."
Lin Qingyang was listening in a daze, but finally reacted when he heard this, "The Queen Mother knew that Concubine Xu had a problem, but Concubine Xu didn't kill people to silence her, and the two cooperated?"
"My sister took Xie Yiqing, the only blood of the Empress Dowager's family, as a threat." When Xu Wenze said this, there was an unacceptable expression on his face.
After calming down, he opened his mouth and said: "The queen mother is completely under the control of my sister, and Zhao Cheng has also surrendered to my sister. All the commanders of the imperial army were eliminated by Zhao Cheng under the pretext of clearing up operations. He also took charge of the Imperial City Army and the city. It is estimated that the army stationed outside will soon confront Brother Huo. Director Sheng has resumed his status as the Chief Executive. The whereabouts of Director Hai is unknown. It is estimated that something is wrong and he did not return to the palace. It can be said that the entire capital is under the control of my sister. Download it, this is all the information I currently have.”
Lin Qingyang felt lost, "What kind of enmity do you guys have with the royal family?"
"If I knew... I wouldn't feel so bad. Let alone my sister, I questioned my father all the time before I came here, but my father refused to tell me." Xu Wenze smiled wryly.
Immediately said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that this is my real sister. Everything before was an illusion. Since when did she deceive everyone, even her father completely obeyed her, Wu Xinshan In fact, I have noticed that she has connections with bandits and spies from enemy countries. I really don’t know how much power she has collected over the years. She really scares me. What is it about usurping the throne and murdering the royal family? How ambitious? It's ridiculous. When she had an accident, I was so worried that I wanted to guard her every day. You saved her, but she wanted to kill Chu Lishu..."
Lin Qingyang trembled suddenly, his eye sockets suddenly turned red, as if blood was spreading, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He has tried his best to avoid thinking about it. He is afraid that he will collapse immediately when he thinks about it. He can't collapse. He can only try to calm down and make up for everything, so he doesn't think about it.
But Xu Wenze's unintentional words still pierced his chest back and forth like sharp arrows.
Emotions were like breaking a dike and couldn't take it any longer, so I could only close my eyes fiercely, bit my lower lip desperately, breathed desperately, and tried my best to stop the tears from shedding.
Concubine Xu used Jing Rouyin to deal with Yuan Ye and Empress Cheng, and Zhao Cheng to deal with Prime Minister Li and Concubine Mei, all of which were above Chu Lishu's various plans, something that Chu Lishu had never thought of.If Concubine Xu is not saved...Concubine Xu will die, Yusuoxi will not cooperate with her, Zhao Cheng will die too, Director Sheng will have no chance to bury the thunder...
No, there are a lot of 'if it hadn't happened' before it wouldn't be where it is today.
It was he who changed everything, and he ruined everything Chu Lishu had worked so hard for.He planned for many years and suffered a lot, but in the end, he still failed to get back what belonged to him, so he lost like this.
If Chu Lishu knew that he could have gone well, he would not have lost to Concubine Xu who came out to pick up the leaks. If Chu Lishu was still the decisive, cruel and cold-blooded tyrant, he would have succeeded.
In comparison, perhaps going to the end ruthlessly will result in less injury.
If Chu Lishu knew that everything started because of him, I don't know if he would hate him...
He should hate it, he hated himself.
"Qingyang, Qingyang, what's wrong with you..." Xu Wenze suddenly found that Lin Qingyang was not in the right condition, he was short of breath, his face had no blood at all, and his whole body was almost twitching. It is not surprising to die at any time, this is the appearance of being about to collapse emotionally, but forcibly holding back.
Xu Wenze's eyes turned red, "Qingyang, if you are sad, you can cry out and cry out, you can stab me twice, our Xu family is sorry for you...it is me..."
"I...I'm fine..." Lin Qingyang still insisted. "I'm fine."
Chu Lishu is gone, safe, and when everything starts again, even if Chu Lishu will resent him, he will have the cheek to stay by Chu Lishu's side to help him.
And Chu Lishu will forgive him in the future, after all, they are in love, and Chu Lishu is willing to die for him, so there is nothing that cannot be forgiven.
Lin Qingyang had the cheek to keep imagining the scene of Chu Li being angry and then forgiving, only in this way can he hold on.
In this way, he returned to the other courtyard with a tense mood, but suddenly found that the courtyard was surrounded by several circles of people.
Xu Wenze walked in with Lin Qingyang worriedly, and saw Concubine Xu sitting in the flower hall waiting for them.
Lin Qingyang's heart instantly lifted.
"Going to send someone off?" Xu Bin said slowly, with a smile on her face.
Xu Wenze frowned and said, "It's just sending a friend away, sister, aren't you busy today?"
"That's right, we're done. The Huo family and the Yue family are all taken care of by the palace."
Xu Wenze was shocked immediately, "Sister, are you threatening them? The Huo family and the Yue family are family friends with us!"
"What are you talking about? You don't have the heart of rebellion. How can there be threats? It's just that there was an urgent military report this morning. The Tianheng Kingdom suddenly launched an attack on the border last night. I need Huo Luo and Yuechen to guard the border. They must be worried. family, so I will take care of it."
"You Mingming and Tianheng Kingdom..."
Xu Pin smiled, and Xu Wenze came to his senses immediately, "The Huo family army can't let the Zhou Dynasty's safety be ignored. You... are afraid that they will rebel, so...you discussed with Tianheng Kingdom, and used this trick to force Brother Huo dare not confront you!"
Xu Wenze could hardly stand upright, Xu Bin's actions really refreshed his cognition again and again, to be so ruthless.
"Also..." Pin Xu's gaze finally turned to Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang was so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
Concubine Xu smiled slightly and said: "It's strange, Mr. Lin and his cousin are brothers, and they are not buried. I think you are reluctant, why...even the corpse is gone?"
Xu Wenze was stunned, and reacted instantly. The idea that Chu Lishu was not dead had already popped up, and he hurriedly said, "Isn't Elder Sister even letting go of the dead body?"
"I planned to visit Mr. Lin, but found no one in the mansion, so I searched it. Obviously there was no corpse transported out, and the mansion was turned upside down and no body was found. It must not be cremated. Where are the ashes? ?” The more Xu Bin said, the colder his eyes became.
Lin Qingyang pretended to be calm and said: "I did burn it with a fire, and the ashes went away with the wind, so I just set him free."
"Really? Maybe the ashes were taken away by the person who left the city?" As soon as Concubine Xu finished speaking, Xu Wenze argued, "Of course not. The gates of the city are all your people, and they have all been inspected. Can you not?" do you know?"
"Yeah, but I'm still worried, so I sent out all the killers given to me by Gosho West. I wonder if I can find a little magic doctor?"
Both Lin Qingyang and Xu Wenze turned pale with shock.
"Sister, you are..."
Xu Pin suddenly said sharply: "I just don't believe that Chu Lishu is dead. For someone who can't be underestimated, it is probably not difficult for him to escape from death. After all, seeing is not believing. People, if you die, you must see the corpse, I have ordered that no matter whether it is the little genius doctor, or anyone who may appear beside the little genius doctor, they will be killed without mercy!"
Lin Qingyang finally couldn't hold back his expression anymore, he suddenly drew out his dagger and rushed forward, but how could Concubine Xu not have expert guards by his side.
Seeing Lin Qingyang who was completely blocked, Xu Pin stood up and said, "Lin Qingyang, you should stay calm, I don't want to kill you. We will wait for Chu Lishu's real body to come back, and then I will return it to you .”
Xu Bin left after speaking, and Xu Wenze chased after him to ask for love.
Only Lin Qingyang was left sitting on the ground in embarrassment in the flower hall.
Soon, the alarm sounded in the male lead's life crisis again in his mind, but he was really helpless.
Finally, heart-piercing cries and roars resounded throughout the other courtyard, and Lin Qingyang's inner line of defense was completely broken.
"I don't want to regain my life, let me go back, I accept death, I don't need tasks anymore."
"System, the way of heaven, restore everything."
"He didn't deserve to suffer anymore."
"It's all my fault, it's my fault, I..."
Lin Qingyang's eyes were straightened, and he raised the dagger, but a systematic voice sounded in his mind.
[Even if you die, nothing can be changed.Host, please cherish the life you have finally obtained. 】
Lin Qingyang was stunned, tears kept falling, and he lowered his hands in despair, and murmured, "Can't you recover? You asked me to come, let me do the task, what exactly are you going to do? His life is actually not at all. I need my intervention to complete everything smoothly. Is it just to give me a life, force me to enter his life, and use his hard work to complete the so-called task experience? He is a human... a human... …why why……"
The system detected that Lin Qingyang's spirit was on the verge of collapse and he was in an extremely irrational state, and an interface popped up suddenly.
It was an interface that Lin Qingyang had never seen before. Lin Qingyang didn't have the energy to look at it at all, but he only saw it from the corner of his eye, but he focused his eyes in shock.
There are a lot of strange data on it, the hero's violence value, madness value... and the final number of victims.
Lin Qingyang's eyes widened, "What... mean?"
[The host's mission is destined to change the trajectory of the hero's life. The purpose of releasing the mission is not only to give the host experience, but also to let the hero choose his life again.Because the world of the novel is also a real world, after the ending of the original text, the number of people harmed by the hero has exceeded a certain value. This has disrupted the balance of the world and almost caused human civilization to fail to pass on.So it needs to be readjusted from him, but the system and the way of heaven cannot interfere with people's choices, they can only add a small variable. 】
"I'm the variable?"
Lin Qingyang accepted everything in a chaotic head. Now he finally understands why the system sent out some missions that should have been successful from the very beginning, but failed under his influence. Why didn't he make some obvious decisions that affect the plot? Stopping him from time to time was not to let him, the host, complete the task easily.What the system and Tiandao want is for Chu Lishu to make a new choice under certain variables.
A male protagonist who affects the whole world, naturally every decision is crucial.
[Whether the ending is good or bad is determined by all factors. The host can believe that no one can avoid pain in a world of pain. If the world changes for the better, it must be good for the hero.At least from the data point of view, the male lead is better than the original male lead in all indicators.The host please continue to wait for the release of the task with peace of mind,]
Lin Qingyang regained some sanity as if he had received a strange comfort. Yes, Chu Lishu once said similar things to him. If his arrival caused some troubles, Chu Lishu would not really hate him. He, he should believe in his lover.
If he gave up because of this, Chu Lishu would hate him.
That's right, this is Chu Lishu.
Lin Qingyang gritted his teeth, holding back all the tears, and suddenly remembered the siren just now, and it stopped unconsciously.
Is the crisis over?
……
Far away on the trail between the two cities, Lu Yi arrived in time to protect Chu Lishu on horseback with Mu Huichun, who was already in a state of distress. They were surrounded, and no matter how powerful Chi Teng was, they couldn't lead their master away. .
At the critical moment, random arrows were about to shoot at the man on horseback, Lu Yi and Mu Huichun had no choice but to stand up and stop them in embarrassment.
A figure in white descended from the sky, and the silver knife flashed, sweeping away all the sharp arrows.
The ghostly figure submerged into the killer in an instant, and the knife was raised and dropped, blood splattering everywhere.
