feud

Cen Li stroked his head, comforting him in a low voice.Half an hour passed before Wang Bing stopped trembling and raised his head in a daze.

"where am I?"

"Qi Mansion, look, your couch."

Wang Bing grabbed the thin quilt and picked it up to look at it, then looked at Cen Li, after a long while carefully picked out some news from his memory, and said: "There is someone who has a grudge against you, I didn't see his face, he called you Liu Huaxin, you said you ran out of the house, did you...really run out?" You must know that Lin Yi's eyes and ears are everywhere outside, and he will be recognized if he is not careful.

Selecting these few words from the unbearable things is undoubtedly repeating the scene at that time in my mind.

But Cen Li didn't want to talk to him about this, he stuffed him into the bed without a word, his fingers brushed Wang Bing's ear, which was sewn and securely bandaged, all the way until he became sickly pale His cheeks moved lightly, like brushing away willow leaves in front of his eyes.Niu Tou said something wrong: "How did you live in Shanyin before? Do you often go to buy wine?"

"I used to..." Wang Bing was in a coma all day, just woke up, and only knew to follow Cen Li's words in a daze, "There is a small village at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. , plowing the fields and growing vegetables, I don’t know how to hunt, and the kind villagers occasionally give me pheasants...General Pingwei’s wine is delicious, but I rarely go down the mountain, and I only go once in a long time.”

The mountains and rivers of Dongshan are famously beautiful, and elegant and famous people often go to visit it, and return for several days or even several months.Listening to Wang Bing's simple words, it was just green mountains and green waters, plowing and hunting, a natural and beautiful picture slowly unfolded before Cen Li's eyes.

Cen Li followed the temptation and asked softly: "Then do you want to go back?"

After a long time, Cen Li didn't wait for Wang Bing's reply, only saw that his eyes seemed to light up in the darkness, but it didn't seem to be there. It might be the reason why he cried just now, and the watery eyes glistened again. Tears come.

In short, Wang Bing didn't say anything, he lowered his head halfway, as quiet as a beautiful stone statue.Seeing him like this, Cen Li couldn't help but want to hug him.

Just stretching his hand halfway, he suddenly saw black tears flowing from the corner of Wang Bing's eyes.

Yes, that's not tears, it's black blood.

At daybreak, the old man was urged all the way into the Qi Mansion with a medicine box in his hand, and then left the Qi Mansion with a gloomy face muttering about "weird things".

Qi Xiangmei took the meals out of the tray one by one and put them on the table, saying: "Even the old man can't see anything, I think it's probably Liu Jun's mess."

"This is not a disease. The old doctor said it. According to the symptoms you described, it may be a kind of poison."

He was led by Liu Jun to sell on the stage, which means that for a while, Wang's illness was in Liu Jun's hands.

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other possibility. This wasn't abuse, it was more like revenge.

Cen Li put Wang Bing's hand, which had just been pulsed by the doctor, back under the quilt, got up, went to the table and picked up a bowl of porridge.The cloud is light and light: "He just wants to force me to ask him for an antidote, it's very simple."

Didn't Liu Jun just want to see his lost dog again?For such an easy matter, if Liu Jun came to him directly, no matter how bad it was, it would be nothing more than a replay of the scene where the Li Palace was burned down last year. Why did it come to this?

After Cen Li finished speaking, he walked back to the bed with the porridge, and Qi Xiangmei had already left the room tactfully.

Prying open the bloodless lips, as expected, all the porridge that passed through flowed out from the corner of Wang Bing's mouth. At first it was white rice porridge, and then it turned into black blood, flowing continuously from the unconscious man's mouth When it came out, there was no way to stop it, Cen Li could only watch the black blood take away the body temperature of the person under him bit by bit.

The scars that were cut open with daggers were old whip wounds that had opened, and black blood was also oozing out. Wang Bing's neck seemed to be tightly strangled by a thin black thread.

There is no way, he is not a doctor, nor is he a god, he is a human being.

He could only ask Liu Jun.

Wang Bing felt some itching on his face, his body trembled imperceptibly, and he struggled to open his eyes.It was the same person, Cen Li was wiping the corner of his mouth, the cloth was shockingly black.

"Where are you going?"

The blood couldn't be stopped no matter what, the person who was bleeding didn't care, but Cen Li would collapse if he wiped it off.How much blood can a person shed?He wished he could oppress him, draw out all the blood in his body and pour it into him, burn himself to keep him alive, just once, and let him see his magnificence when they first met, not the dying one now People who are also forced to smile.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." Cen Li clenched his fists, clutching the piece of cloth, turned his back to Wang Bing, his broad and reliable back seemed a little shy, and after a long time, he asked: " Do you still want to go back to Shanyin?"

"I think."

Cen Li's back froze, and his eyes widened in disbelief.He wants to go back!He regrets it!Following me made him feel tired!

Wang Bing smiled, "Wait for Haiyan River to be clear and the world to be peaceful, and I will go back with you."

After leaving the Qi Mansion, it became hot outside, Cen Li lowered his bamboo hat, squeezed into the crowd alone, and went to Baixianglou.

"Hey, have you heard? Zhu Xinghe, the third son of the Zhu family, died in his own home the night before yesterday. It was terrible. That dead man lost his arms and legs. The master of the Zhu family was so angry that he carried Mr. Zhang out. If you don’t find the murderer, you have to report to the imperial court, it’s terrible to listen to Datian.”

"I heard that he also bought a top-quality slave. It seems... it happened the night before yesterday. Do you think it was the slave who did it? Otherwise, it's such a coincidence that he bought a slave and died one day. It's really weird. .”

"What are you chewing on! Mr. Zhang Fu is currently investigating the case, playing around and arresting people! Be careful!"

Cen Li passed the conversation about drinking and chatting blankly, thinking whether to make a big fuss to blow Liu Jun out, when a masked girl holding a lyre walked up to him, and gave him a blessing.

The movements were smooth and flowing, and the woman's graceful figure made people want to stop at first glance. After she finished her salute, she slowly raised her eyelids, and her beautiful eyes shot out a heart-stopping cold light.

"My lord, this way please." The voice was exquisite and pleasant.

Cen Li cut to the chase and said, "I want to find Liu Jun."

Waiting for a quarter of an hour longer would cause Wang Bing to bleed an extra bowl, and he didn't want to wait for a quarter of an hour, wishing that Liu Jun would appear in front of him right now.

In the upper room, the smoke was lingering, as if in a fairyland, when the door was opened, a gust of cool air rushed towards the face, Cen Li brushed away the white smoke in front of his eyes, and walked into the room where he could not see the front.

After walking a dozen steps, Cen Li kicked something, and looked down, it was a jade jug.Black juice was still dripping from the spout, which didn't look like wine.

Looking up, it was white again, and at the same time when Cen Li wondered how big this room was, whether he had already passed through it or not, there were finally outlines of objects in front of him, and a voice came from the increasingly clear object.

"You are finally here, I have been waiting for a long time."

Cen Li gritted his teeth and said, "Brother."

As Cen Li approached, people and things became clearer. The person sitting upright looked at Cen Li approaching step by step, and smiled at him: "Brother, it's been a long time. I have spent a lot of time to see you." strength."

When Cen Li took a closer look, he realized that the smoke in the room was coming from the ice cubes at the four corners.

"An antidote."

Liu Jun smiled, picked up a small white porcelain bottle on the desk elegantly and calmly, opened the red stopper on it, quickly poured out a few bottles in his hand, put them in his mouth, swallowed them with a grunt, and said with a smile: "It's gone." .”

This series of movements was done so fast that Cen Li had no time to stop it.

Seeing the moment he swallowed it, Cen Li rushed to Liu Jun, grabbed his collar tightly, and asked in a very flat tone, "Brother, is this fun?"

Being questioned by Cen Li with a force that didn't match his hands, Liu Jun still smiled: "It's fun? Why isn't it fun? It's more fun than my father being killed by your father, it's more fun than being imprisoned by you in the East Palace, and it's more fun than being burned by me." Death is fun, it's very fun—" Liu Jun especially emphasized the last word, dragging on the ending sound very long.

"You are crazy! I have been killed by you once, what else do you want? Do you want to force me to be like you, and I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge? You must force me to be with you Are you willing to turn against each other?"

Liu Kou, that is, Cen Li's father, is a concubine, and his status is not as good as the orthodox Liu Nianli. After Liu Kou usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his second target was the crown prince. Cen Li knelt at his father's feet and begged him to forgive Liu Kou. Jun, as the saying goes, there are no eggs under a nest, but Liu Jun was saved by him, and he stayed in the East Palace intact and unscathed. Except for his status as the prince, he was the same as before. The only surviving person among the cronies and forces.

Cen Li admired the prince Liu Jun very much, and often hung out with him in the East Palace, and sometimes the two of them would sneak out of the palace to play.Before his father launched the coup, he already knew that Liu Jun's sick father was not his father's opponent at all. He was not stupid. After the coup was successful, he knew that Liu Jun was doomed, but he was still sober and did not want him to die.

"His Royal Highness, let me ask you, don't you hate Chongyan? Now, I hate Chongyan just like you. No, I hate it more than you..." Even though Liu Jun was strangled by the collar, he still couldn't breathe. Laughed, "Hehe, you don't know how much I love my father, he gave me everything about me...cough cough cough."

He is different from Liu Huaxin. Liu Huaxin had a quarrel with Liu Kou after he became the crown prince, and even escaped from the palace for two months before returning.He is different.His father is a legitimate son, and his crown prince position and everything is justified, so even when Liu Jianli was seriously ill and bedridden, he always took care of him, but Liu Kou ruined all of this, and Liu Huaxin won it. Take everything he has, the throne, the position of heir, even freedom, and the insult of being imprisoned... For revenge, he did not hesitate to collude with Chongyan. Liu Kou died, and he avenged his father, so what about himself?

"When my father was poisoned to death on the couch by the imperial doctor bribed by my second uncle, I still ran to you and cried. Tell me, can I not hate you?" Liu Jun looked confidently at Cen Li's loosening hand, and mouthed He took a few breaths, his eyes were flushed, but he still smiled, "My father's bones were not cold, so you imprisoned me in the East Palace that should belong to me, watching your father, a treacherous minister, ascend the throne, and seeing how you were established as the crown prince, you Why don't you kill me? Why don't you think about it, I'm also a person, how can I not hate?"

Facing the questions that pierced his heart, Cen Licai suddenly realized that what he thought in the past was a struggle between his fathers and had nothing to do with them. They could still go back to the past, and if he wanted, he could even keep Liu Jun by his side. , Tell him all this has nothing to do with them.

How naive.

It was precisely because of his innocence that Liu Jun killed his own father with Chongyan's knife, overthrew Zhao Guo, reduced his family to the lowest class of slaves, and even implicated the most important people around him.Look, this is retribution, the way of heaven is like reincarnation, no one can live a lifetime without making mistakes, and no one can live a smooth and safe life, there must be someone, when will appear, let you remember this truth deeply.

Cen Li already had a pleading tone, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, didn't dare to face his sad expression, "You...you can hate me as much as you want, you must have the antidote, give me the antidote medicine."

"He didn't understand the medicine."

boom!

The door was pushed open by someone, Cen Li turned his head and looked over, it was a vague silhouette, when the person approached, he felt a forceful aura pressing over him, Cen Li frowned.

Chen Cheyun seemed to be an immortal walking out of the "clouds". He seemed to be walking in a leisurely manner calmly and calmly, but he still had a proud temperament that was born to be regarded as a master, and a cold look like contempt for vulgar things.

How do you look...deja vu?

Chen Cheyun: "Brothers are reunited, it's really touching, why? Don't look at me like this, or do you mean you don't remember me?"

It wasn't that he didn't want to look away from looking at him, it was that Cen Li was still searching for this face in his mind.Definitely, must have seen it somewhere!But I just can't remember.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince of your country really forgets things. It seems that I have to help His Highness the Crown Prince and let him recall the good memories he had in Runan County."

Qi Xiangmei came in with medicine, it was already noon, Wang Bing woke up several times intermittently, and finally saw someone, but he couldn't move, looked at Qi Xiangmei dryly, and asked, "Where did he go? "

"Go to Baixiang Tower, ask for medicine." Qi Xiangmei replied simply, put the medicine to his mouth, "The person who arrested you is Liu Jun, the former prince of Zhao Guo, our elder brother, he and the prince's cousin have the plan to kill their father. Qiu, you should be able to guess this without me telling you."

"..."

Wang Bing raised his hand and knocked away the spoon that Qi Xiangmei brought to his mouth, coughed up blood, his eyes were terribly bright, and for the first time ordered in a tone that did not allow resistance: "Go find Ji Dong, go quickly!"

Where is Baixianglou?They all knew, how could Chen Cheyun let him go?Just because Ji Dong betrayed Chen Cheyun in order to take him away, Cen Li couldn't afford to go around!Now there is Liu Jun, what will they do to Cen Li?Wang Bing didn't even dare to think about it.

This broken body, just let yourself suffer from the pain.It was the same in Shanyin, if he was chased and killed by Liu Pi, how far would he go now?He will only implicate him, can't help him, put him in danger time and time again, maybe they are natural nemesis, one of them is destined to suffer, but even then, he is reluctant to leave, being frightened and scared by that person Carefully embracing him in his arms to comfort him, he knew that he would fall on this person for the rest of his life.

Therefore, even hugging each other would make each other suffocate in pain, and he would never let go.

"Ah...ah!"

The deliberately suppressed moans were amplified several times in the quiet room, and no matter how hard Cen Li endured, they could still hear them clearly.

Chen Cheyun put the red-hot iron in his hand on the ice in the corner, and the sound of "sizzling" echoed in Cen Li's ears like thunder.

How could he forget that in the dark stone room in Runan County, someone left an imprint on his chest with an iron block, the most obvious word "Yi", which he will never forget.

This person, the man sitting next to Lin Yi at the auction stage, was the King of Runan at that time and the King of Yuhe today—Chen Cheyun.

Wang Bing said that he and Lin Yi used to be close friends.

Chen Cheyun threw down the iron rod, and said with a smile, "It seems that I remembered it, Your Highness, don't move, don't you want the antidote?"

"Without my antidote, after another hour, that person's blood will be drained, and he will not die immediately. He will clearly feel the blood being drawn away, bit by bit, and die slowly."

Cen Li let go of all the strength that was ready to go, he didn't understand why Chen Cheyun tortured himself like this, just like he didn't understand why Lin Yi took him out of Runan County and locked himself in the stable.

There are really too many incomprehensible things in this world... There is also that person who can only suffer for himself, and can still say such things with a smile.

"Do you want to go back to San'in?"

"I want to treat Haiyan, Heqing, and the world to peace, and go back with you."

What a peaceful and prosperous age, now they are struggling in the dark age...

"Please...give me the antidote."

But at least, they still have each other. He has lost his country, lost his relatives and brothers, and he can no longer lose people who are trapped in prison like him and can warm each other.
