Trivia at the end of the Jin Dynasty

Sima Yi got out of the car slowly and looked at the gloomy sky, as if it was going to rain any moment.The guard of the prison was Huan Wen's former subordinate, and he was already waiting at the door. Seeing Sima Yi looking over at him, he nodded slightly as a salute, and immediately raised his hand, and a soldier came to lead the way.

The old Qinglong Gate made a creaking sound when it was opened, and the dim candles could not illuminate clearly. Where does this winding prison road lead, five steps, one step, ten steps and one turn, I am afraid that it is difficult for first-timers to recognize From the north to the south, and then through the middle gate guarded by triple guards, you will reach the deepest part of the prison. Those who pass through this gate may have no chance to come back the same way, and they will only be killed by Baihumen.

Sima Yi stopped in his tracks, looked up at the dark prison door, clenched his fist and let go, clenched and let go again, as if he had made enough mental preparations, he raised his hand to signal to open the door.When entering this door for the first time, the smell of dampness mixed with rotting flesh, and the smell of blood mixed with filth, come to your face. Those who are imprisoned here will no longer be called human beings after passing through this door.

After walking another hundred steps and turning a corner, the jailer stopped and opened the cell door on the left. Sima Yi looked around the cell and saw a shadow on the ground in the corner. He couldn't see his face, his hands and feet, or even whether he was still breathing. Sima Yi stepped over a few steps, bent down beside his feet, and called out, "Xianglong."

Chu Xianglong didn't raise his head, but his body froze, he swallowed dryly, tried to make a normal voice with his throat, and said leisurely: "How are you doing now?"

Sima Yi lowered his head and remained silent, looking carefully at Xianglong from top to bottom, trying to judge his injury. Xianglong was covered with welts, and his prison uniform was covered with blood. As soon as he raised his hand slightly, it stopped, and the scars on Xianglong's face could be vaguely seen through the unkempt long hair, which was even more shocking, and even one side of the eyes protruded from the newly turned flesh, swollen and brown. The scars and scars are piled up on top of each other, and it is impossible to tell whether there are still eyeballs.

Xianglong seemed to want to hide his embarrassing left face, lowered his head, and suddenly said with a wry smile: "So I am your helper."

Sima Yi's heart was twisted like a knife, he was the one who harmed Xianglong, he never thought that he would always be cautious, step by step, for fear of making a mistake, offending people's tongue, and using it for others, but in such a seemingly absurd situation The reason is irrefutable, Xianglong is indeed the person he cares about the most in this world, more than his wife and children, using such dirty words to slander the relationship between them is simply outraged by both gods and men, he can't help clenching his fists, Wanting to rush out of this prison, he immediately killed the Huan family dog ​​thief.

Xianglong suddenly raised his hand to caress the center of his eyebrows, and his fingertips seemed to swipe across his eyebrows, as if smoothing his eyebrows, so that his ferocious face would relax, and then pulled his skirt to signal him Sitting down, he said in a low voice: "I was born as a civil servant in the Chu family for generations, and the court respected literature but not military. The daughter of General Chaowei is his wife, so she is very indifferent to my mother. My mother is miserable, and she has long been depressed and ill. Even before she gave birth, she still couldn't get her father to look at her. She was very desperate. She was exhausted when she gave birth to Liner I had no mother since I was a child, and if I wanted to know about her, I could only hear it from my nanny, but I didn't dare to talk about it too openly." The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had to squeeze out a bitter smile. "Father has been very indifferent to me since I was a child. He hates me for being like my mother. He originally wanted to send me to join the army when I got my hair cut. Who knows that my life is good. Because I am similar in age, I was recommended by my mother's family to be sent to the palace at a young age. Reading as a companion will save my father's heart. He calculated that if I do well, I will be honored by the emperor's relatives and relatives. Throwing into the army, shrouded in horse leather, dead without a name." Xianglong raised his head slightly, facing Sima Yi, wanting to use his one eye to take a good look at this man he had known since childhood, but Sima Yi's expression at this time made him My heart hurts more than this body injury.

Although Chu Xianglong lost his mother since he was a child and had no one to take care of him, his father's disregard for him gave him his freedom. When he entered the palace, he saw that Sima Yi was alone but entangled in rules. From the bottom of his heart, there was a kind of sympathy for the same patient. On weekdays, he treated Sima Yi as his own brother. He didn't want this prince to treat him with sincerity, so he secretly made up his mind that he would not hesitate to do anything for this person in this life.However, I don't know when this kind of family affection gradually turned into other affections, and it became more and more irresistible, and he also grew wantonly from some kind of germination, and even hoped that one day it would blossom and bear fruit.Maybe I should have put away this kind of friendship when Sima Yi ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and kept the distance between the minister and the emperor, so that others could not easily criticize the relationship between the two. The male favorite caused troubles in the palace, and the son was not his own, which caused Sima Yi's already crumbling throne to be reduced to dust in an instant.

Sima Yi had never heard Xianglong talk about his family affairs in detail, he only knew that he must have a cold relationship with his family who came home once a year.After hearing about Xianglong's past, Sima Yi's grief was unspeakable, and he even felt that his eyes were about to shed blood and tears. He clenched his fists tightly, roaring in his heart, and saw Xianglong looking at his face again. His expression changed from pity to sadness, and he realized that Xianglong was blaming himself again, so he hurriedly interrupted him: "I have been stubborn since I was a child, and I am not a great talent. Although I am wearing a dragon robe today, my yearning is indeed freedom and happiness." .When we met, you became my only close relative. How can we divide you and me? To this day, I just regret that I was playful and didn't plan for this future, so that there is no place for you and me, or me You shouldn't fight against him first, maybe you can be safe by doing a little trick."

"No, how can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch? The Holy One is like this, and so is the Huanzi Talisman. Today's defeat is dictated by destiny, and Xianglong will not regret it." Chu Xianglong interrupted Sima Yi's words, and fell silent for a while. Then he said: "After I die, don't be sad. I am alone, have no wife and no children. The only person I miss is you. If you don't dislike it, please take my share of life and live."

"Xianglong, do you want me to live alone in the world?" Chu Xianglong turned his face and stopped looking at him, and the address in his mouth became unfamiliar, "It's not that the Holy Majesty has no determination to eradicate the Huan family, it's just that he lacks dormancy, Xianglong died It's not a pity, Wang Sheng cherishes the body of the dragon, and in the future when he kills the enemy with his own hands, Xianglong will definitely laugh at Jiuquan."

Sima Yi was startled, such a title, such a farewell word, seemed to have been prepared in Xianglong's mind, and even thought about it over and over again. Could it be that Xianglong knew that today would exist?While speaking, there were rustling footsteps outside the prison, Sima Yi suddenly raised his head, the person who came was Huan's internal envoy, holding a lacquer box in his hand, and strode into the prison door.

The envoy said without saluting: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite you to be safe. I will give you the whole body of Chu Yu by order of Duke Huan." He opened the lid of the lacquer box, and there was a sharp dagger inside.

Sima Yi stood up suddenly, looked at the box, and then stared at the face of the envoy, a surge of anger boiled from the bottom of his heart, rushing to the bottom of the sky to pour into the spring, before he could get angry, the envoy suddenly showed a flattering expression Then he said: "Duke Huan also said, please Your Majesty personally send the guilty minister Chu Yu on the road."

Sima Yi's veins bulged, and he raised his finger to the emissary, his voice trembling, "Huan Wen is a thief, you are too deceitful." The eunuch showed a disdainful expression and said: "If the Holy Majesty punishes him with his own hands, Duke Huan can spare Mrs. Chu , don’t implicate the whole family, I hope Your Majesty will think twice.”

Sima Yi froze for a moment, Huan Wen was using the nine clans of the Chu family as a threat to force him to kill Xianglong with his own hands.But today he killed Chu Yu with his own hands, can his family be spared by the Huan family?Even if the relationship between Chu Yu and the Chu family is as indifferent as water, after all, he is the biological father and a whole family of the same clan.

Sima Yi's eyes changed from anger to despair, the despair of falling into the abyss, he looked back, he was powerless to Xianglong's life and death, but he wanted to become the murderer who took his life with his own hands.Chu Xianglong still lowered his head, as if the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, before he could see what Xianglong's expression was, the messenger said leisurely: "Your Majesty has something important to do in the morning, so it is not appropriate to delay here for too long today. , I have to go back to the manor to return my order. If His Majesty can't do it himself, I'm afraid that tomorrow he won't even be able to keep his position as King of the East China Sea."

Sima Yi looked up at the messenger, his eyes were full of hatred and anger.Huan Wen really wanted to destroy everything about him, not only to kill his closest relatives, but also to kill him with his own hands, with a knife, in the name of giving Xianglong a whole body.Threatening himself with the lives of the Chu family and Xianglong with his own future safety is really a good move.He deeply knew that Huan Wen was afraid that he would gain power again in the future, so he wanted to kill Xianglong with his own hands to defeat his last bit of fighting spirit. His heart was churning, and he even wanted to pick up a dagger and stab the messenger's body directly. , and then withdraw, and then stab.

Chu Xianglong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly and slowly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three heads in Sima Yi's direction. Sima Yi's heart was pulled into balls and balls with each muffled sound. Seeing Xianglong raise his head, Sima Yi froze. Xianglong's eyes were so calm and resolute. After getting up, Xianglong looked at Sima Yi carefully from bottom to top, wandered around and finally stopped on his eyes, and He just looked at each other like this, Xianglong's eyes seemed to be full of concern, pity, sadness, and an emotion that he half understood.

Sima Yi wanted to say something, but at this moment his throat seemed to be blocked, he couldn't move his eyes, and he couldn't move his body. He wanted to raise his hand to touch Xianglong, but he couldn't move, as if he was standing still. this moment.Before he came back to his senses, Xianglong suddenly smiled brightly, stepped over, got up and grabbed the dagger in a flash, pulled his body towards him, as if to hug him, and held his hand at the same time, Holding the handle of the knife in his hand, the tip of the knife stabbed towards his chest. The moment Sima Yi was hugged by Xianglong, he understood Xianglong's intention, and he exclaimed "Xianglong!"

In an instant, the dagger sank into Chu Xianglong's chest, and he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.Sima Yi broke away from the hug slightly, pulled out the hand holding the knife, lowered his head, and wanted to explore Xianglong's injury, but before he could clearly see the dagger stuck in Xianglong's chest, Xianglong had lost his center of gravity and moved forward. He was about to kneel down in front of him, and he immediately stretched out his arms to catch Xianglong's body, but Xianglong's body seemed to have no support, and he couldn't support the heavy body for a while, so he let him sink down. , also knelt down in a face-to-face posture.

Xianglong had exerted the last bit of strength to support his body so as not to fall over. He tried his best to look at Sima Yi, traced back and forth on his face, and gently touched every inch of his shock and grief with his eyes. Say a few words: "Xianglong is not for the Chu family... only for you in my life, enough, live..." As if he hadn't finished speaking, Xianglong's eyes slowly dimmed, and he hung his head and disappeared breath.Sima Yi hugged Xianglong's hanging body, let his head rest on his shoulder, hugged him tightly to prevent him from falling down, and buried his face in his neck.He kept shouting "Xianglong, Xianglong, Xianglong..."

Seeing this scene, the envoy of the Huan Mansion covered the box with satisfaction. He wanted to step forward to check whether Chu Xianglong was killed on the spot, but he was a little afraid that the saint who had nothing at this time would accidentally injure himself.Thinking that seeing that iron is bound to die, he dismissed the idea.I only looked at Sima Yi's back for a few times. The former saint knelt on the cold prison floor, holding a dead body, as if he had lost the vitality of a living person. The blood Xianglong vomited had already wetted his back shirt, leaving long, dark red marks.The picture of them embracing each other seems to be still. If you look closely, you can see that the shoulders of the holy majesty are shaking slightly.After watching this scene, he turned around and wanted to leave the prison door, after all, no one wants to waste time in this death cell and get any bad luck.The moment he walked out of the cell door, he was suddenly startled by a heart-piercing roar behind him, and almost hit the cell door. He patted his front and walked out without looking back.
