After the hero goes crazy

'Boom! '

Amidst the sound of thunder and rolling, a bolt of lightning struck across the sky and hit the roof on one side with a heavy blow.

The upturned corners of the house were shattered in the lightning and thunder, the tiles splashed everywhere, hit the ground, and the roof made an endless 'jingle' sound.

The rain gradually increased, and Yao Shouning was stunned by the sudden thunder, and was stunned for a moment.

Once the ominous omen came true, Wen Qingzhe could not escape death.

"Ugh--"

Seeing this scene, Luo Ziwen sighed silently.

This former gentle and gentle son of Wen's family was in an indescribable embarrassment. Hearing that the situation of Wen's family was not good in the past few days, he has been running between the prison and his family, actively trying to find a relationship and save Wen Qingzhe's life.

But he is a Confucian scholar, so how can he have any connections or relationships?
In the past, Gu Huanzhi appreciated and praised him, which made him famous in the capital, but now that Gu Huan's party is being suppressed, and the Confucian officials are all in danger, how can they have the heart to help him?
It was heard that he ran around for several days and found nothing, but now hearing the meaning of his words, it seems that Wen Qingzhe was tortured and died in prison.

Even though Luo Ziwen knew that the son regarded him as a rival in love, seeing Wen Jingsui's appearance at this moment, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

"Mr. Wen, the rain is getting heavier, why don't you get on the carriage first, and we'll talk as we walk, how about it?"

Yao Shouning also nodded when Luo Ziwen made an invitation:

"Brother Wen, why don't you get in the car first, our two families are close to each other, and we're on the way, so it's never too late to talk if we have something to say."

Wen Jingsui also knew Luo Ziwen.

If it was at any other time, if Yao Shouning was not in the car, no matter how embarrassed and desperate he was, he would definitely not accept the favor of the general's mansion.

But at this moment, he may be too lonely and afraid, and the person sitting in front of him is the person he misses so much. He is greedy for this moment of intimacy, so he nodded and responded.

He climbed into the carriage and sat across from Yao Shouning.

Seeing that his clothes were soaked and his lips were black with cold, the girl quickly took a clean towel and handed it to him:

"Brother Wen, wipe it off."

"..." Wen Jingsui was taken aback for a moment.

He looked at the girl's hand that was passing the towel, followed that delicate and soft hand, and moved his gaze upwards to her face and her eyes.

There was undisguised concern in her eyes, but her actions were not very close, restrained and polite.

Wen Jingsui couldn't help thinking of the scene when he saw her getting along with the prince, how natural and casual the relationship between the two was, and there was an intimacy that no one else could get in.

He couldn't help thinking: If Lu Zhi had an accident today, if Lu Zhi was caught in the rain, would Shouning be like this, handing him a handkerchief——

Or, will she wipe it for him herself?

Thinking of this, Wen Jingsui felt pain in his heart like a knife.

He used to think that he was the proud son of heaven, with a bright future, Yao Shouning was in his plan, but unfortunately he was too confident and rigid, and lost the chance to be with her.

The young man's eyes were sour, and tears welled up in his eyes.

At this time, there was no cover from the rain, and the despair and sadness in his eyes were clearly visible with the flow of tears.

Fortunately, Yao Shouning didn't know what was going on in his heart. The news of his father's death covered up his true intentions, so that Yao Shouning didn't see his despicable scheme of trying to win her sympathy with weakness.

"Brother Wen—"

Yao Shouning sighed silently.

Now that her strength has advanced, she has been spying on Wen Jingsui's complicated moods one by one, but she can't respond, she just insists on holding the towel in her hand, and calls out softly.

"……it is good."

Wen Jingsui couldn't bear her to wait, and quickly cleared up his complicated and lost mood, promised in a low voice, then stepped forward to get a towel, and covered his cheeks.

It seemed that the warmth of her palm still remained on the towel. He greedily absorbed the warmth of this moment, and buried his face in the towel for a long while without leaving.

Yao Shouning hesitated.

She and Wen Jing had already spoken clearly, but looking at his behavior at this time, it was clear that he still had affection for her.

Yao Shouning likes to cut through messes quickly, and he doesn't like to be sloppy when it comes to emotions, but now that Wen Jing follows his actions, how could he bear to hurt him again.

After a while, Wen Jing calmed down, finally took a deep breath, and wiped the water off his cheeks, hair and body with a towel.

After he calmed down, Yao Shouning asked:
"Brother Wen, I remember that on the day of the accident, the prince clearly sent Brother Duan and other leaders to the prison to bring Mr. Wen home. How could Mr. Wen..."

Yao Shouning was really puzzled by this matter, but when he said this, he was afraid of touching Wen Jingsui's heart, so he paused and changed his tone:
"Is there any twists and turns in the middle?"

Wen Jingsui calmed down a lot at this time, and said after hearing the words:

"Young Master Lao really extended a helping hand that day." Duan Changya and the others broke into the prison by force.

If it had gone according to plan, everything would have gone smoothly, but unfortunately the final change came from Wen Qingzhe.

"My father refused to leave the prison. He insisted that he did not make a mistake, but just fulfilled his duty as a courtier."

The disaster of evil spirits has been recorded since ancient times.

Non-my family, its heart must be different. 700 years ago, evil spirits fed on human beings, how much disaster did they bring to human beings?

Had it not been for Taizu and others who founded Daqing, it would be impossible for human beings to live in peace for 700 years.

"My father believes that it is impossible for humans and monsters to coexist peacefully. The temporary compromise of the monster race is only to prepare for the future cannibalism of human beings. He firmly believes that Emperor Shenqi was only bewitched by monster words, and he will wake up sooner or later." He whispered:

"The old man said that he was imprisoned by the order of the emperor. One day the emperor will understand his loyalty and personally order him to be released."

Wen Qingzhe was loyal to the emperor and patriotic throughout his life. He insisted that if he was wronged and imprisoned, sooner or later the truth would be revealed, and the emperor and the people of the world would eventually return his innocence;

The calamity of evil spirits will eventually break out, and he is devoted to the sun and the moon. As long as he can bear that breath, Emperor Shenqi will always remember his kindness in the future and release him from the prison himself.

"So when Duan's bodyguard went to the prison that day, he refused to leave and bumped his head to show his resistance."

In the end, Duan Changya and others returned without success, while Wen Qingzhe stayed in the prison as he wished.

He has a strong temperament and a loyal character, but unfortunately he is too pedantic, he can't see clearly that Daqing is hard to return, and he can't see clearly that Emperor Shenqi is just a self-willed and extremely selfish villain.

At the moment when this courtier who dared to speak out was sent to prison by Emperor Shenqi, the old emperor never thought of sparing his life.

He even secretly instructed Chu Xiaotong to kill Wen Qingzhe with brutal means, to let the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty see the fate of disobedience to him, to break the backbone of the civil servants who dare to speak out, so that they dare not speak out about their actions.

So Wen Qingzhe was just a sacrifice from the beginning to the end.

After he was imprisoned, he didn't wait for life, what he waited for was endless torture.

In just a few days, his body was completely shattered, and his lower body was beaten to a bloody mess. He rotted and rotted in such weather.

He smashed the bowl and gouged out the carrion from his body, and wanted to wait for the day when Emperor Shenqi "woke up" with that breath, but unfortunately the prison didn't give him a chance, so he was executed in the end.

Before he died, his body was bruised and bleak.

Wen Jingsui watched him die with his own eyes, he didn't scream, the pain made him not so conscious, he forgot about his family members, and still focused on looking in the direction of the imperial city, muttering: Humans and monsters cannot coexist.

Speaking of sadness, Wen Jing shed tears.

He also couldn't tell if he was sorry for his father's death or for himself.

While talking about Wen Qingzhe, he couldn't help thinking: Will Shouning comfort me and take pity on me when I encounter such a tragedy?

He longs for the girl's undivided attention, yet realizes the meanness of his own thoughts and feels sorry for himself.

"..."

Yao Shouning sighed inwardly.

She didn't expect things to turn out like this in the end. Wen Qingzhe's incident was a complete tragedy, which made her realize the emperor's cruelty and ruthlessness once again. Wen Qingzhe's death was a sacrifice from the beginning to the end.

She understood Wen Jingsui's intentions, but she couldn't respond to his emotions, so naturally she couldn't give him hope anymore.

She looked at him apologetically, Wen Jing followed the expectations in her heart and gradually dropped, turning into great grief welling up in his heart.

The despair this time was deeper than when Yao Shouning explained the impossible words between the two of them to him on the bank of the Bailing River that day.

For the first time, he truly realized that he had lost an important emotion, and it was impossible for him to get close to Yao Shouning again throughout his life.

He suddenly burst into tears, crying so hard that he couldn't help himself.

Yao Shouning is not as beautiful and cute as she appears on the outside, her willpower is extremely firm, but the more she is like this, the more she attracts Wen Jingsui's heart like a fierce sun, and at the same time, her firmness also breaks his heart.

This contradiction tortured him and made him more painful.

Luo Ziwen couldn't help sighing when he heard Wen Jingsui's cry.

As a man, he could faintly guess his intentions from Wen Jingsui's crying at this time. Perhaps this great talent was crying because of his father's death, not only crying for Wen Qingzhe, but also paying homage to his unrequited feelings.

……

After a long time, Wen Jingsui raised his head. He had controlled his emotions, but the brilliance in his eyes had disappeared.

The indescribable coldness in his heart seemed to be abandoned by this world.

"Brother Wen, what are you going to do next?"

Seeing that he was calm, Yao Shouning asked a question.

Wen Jingsui's eye circles were still a little red, and upon hearing that, he said:

"Let's find a way to arrange the funeral first."

That alone is difficult.

Wen Qingzhe's death was designed by Emperor Shenqi to make an example of others. After his death, the prison seized his body and did not allow Wen's family to carry it back.

"Maybe I will hide for a while later."

When he said this, he looked at Yao Shouning:

"Maybe I still need to rely on the protection of the teacher." After he finished speaking, he felt sad again, and even had a trace of complaints about his late father mixed in his heart.

Wen Qingzhe fulfilled his loyalty with his death, but his death was not the end, maybe it was just the beginning of Emperor Shenqi's use of the topic.

After his death, the rest of the Wen family may suffer even more. Emperor Shenqi will definitely kill the Wen family, so that the world can see his determination to 'coexist with demons' in his decree.

Wen Qingzhe, as the first person to speak out against him, was on the knife's edge. Not only was he unlucky, but his family members would also be implicated as a result.

Wen Qingzhe was too strict and didn't see this clearly, but his son had already sensed the emperor's heart.

It's a pity that all the gates of the four cities of Shendu City are blocked at this time, and ordinary people cannot escape from the city under such circumstances.

Although Wen Jingsui had guessed the ending, he was powerless to change the ending, so he could only temporarily seek the protection of Liu Bingzhou and the General's Mansion.

He doesn't want to bow his head to the 'rival in love', the eldest son, but after his father's death, he is the eldest son in the family, and he needs to take care of the overall situation. He can't ignore the safety of his mother, younger sister and family members because of his anger.

Yao Shouning nodded, feeling more sympathetic towards him.

"Don't worry, this difficulty is only temporary." She comforted:
"A catastrophe is coming, 'River God'..."

Having said this, Yao Shouning couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Emperor Shenqi continued to commit crimes and persecuted Zhongliang. I don't know how many victims like Wen's family are uneasy at this time. The arrival of the "River God" should have been a catastrophe, but for these people, it may also be an opportunity to change the status quo.

She frowned and looked at Wen Jingsui again.

The direction he was in before showed a purple aura, which was faintly mixed with dragon aura.

A sentence in Yao Shouning's mind involuntarily came to mind: The sky thunders and everything is shocked.The purple air came from the east, and the emperor's heart was awakened.

This is a sentence that Mr. Kong Shan once said in Yingtian Bookstore.

According to the observations and records of the Bianji family, it was found that in the thousands of years of human inheritance, there were many people with the fate of the Ziwei star who had the appearance of an emperor, but not every Ziwei heart would wake up.

Many people live their lives in a daze, even if they have an extraordinary destiny, if they cannot awaken it, they will be wiped out by everyone in an ordinary life.

And there are still a few people who seized the opportunity and were very lucky to wake up. At the moment of awakening, their lives were completely different, and they were able to change their lives against the sky and make extraordinary achievements.

She thought deeply: Maybe Wen Jingsui is such a person.

He is young and intelligent. If there are no accidents in his life, he may become an official in the future, marry a wife and have children, and live a wealthy but ordinary life.

But the death of Wen Qingzhe stimulated him, and the catastrophe of the Wen family may have awakened this young genius who became famous, disrupted the rhythm of his life that he had originally planned, and deflected his path.

His body was full of purple aura, and the dragon aura gradually took shape, and he even faintly gave birth to the appearance of an emperor.

Yao Shouning's beautiful eyes were bright, and he stared at Wen Jingsui in thought for a while, and when he was about to speak, Wen Jingsui suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and changed the subject:
"My family's matter can't be resolved for a while, so I won't talk about it." He said with concern:
"Shou Ning, I heard from the teacher a few days ago that you encountered some troubles and were kidnapped by a demon?"

"I..." Yao Shouning sensed that he didn't want to mention Wen Qingzhe's matter again, so he sighed secretly, resisting his curiosity about his dragon spirit, and nodded:

"Something happened to me a few days ago." She mentioned that the demon king's remnant body might be resuscitated by the remains of members of the Daqing Dynasty, and then explored the tomb of King Han with the prince at night, and finally encountered a monster in ambush, and was rescued by Chen Taiwei, and then promised to do things for him.

Now, there is no need to hide many things.

After the arrival of the "River God" tomorrow, she will guard the capital with her grandfather. The war is coming, and she no longer needs to hide her ability.

Wen Jingsui listened very seriously, the more he understood Yao Shouning, the more he sank into it.

Before that, he vaguely guessed that Yao Shouning possessed supernatural powers, but he never expected that Yao Shouning would have such extraordinary power and bizarre experience.

He realized the gap between himself and Yao Shouning.

When Mrs. Wen heard the gossip that Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi were ambiguous and her reputation was damaged, and she wanted to divorce the engagement——Yao Shouning and the prince's trip was to fight evil spirits. The two went forward and retreated together, and they had established a deep friendship.

When he was still trying to compete with the son, the two had already experienced hardships and fought hand in hand with each other. How could he compare with Lu Zhi?
Wen Jingsui was very disappointed, his heart hurt like a knife.

But he still smiled and listened to Yao Shouning's narration of the past these days, starting from her dealings with Chen Taiwei, mentioning the things she had done with Chen Taiwei, the two of them went back 700 years ago, and settled the cause and effect of this former Taoist genius.

Such experiences are incomparably legendary, and Luo Ziwen frequently exclaimed.

But Wen Jingsui didn't put his mind on Chen Taiwei, he noticed Yao Shouning's calmness and determination, kindness and intelligence, boldness and carefulness in this matter.

Such a good girl, why didn't he get the chance?
Maybe this was the last time he sat so close to her, and the distance between the two gradually widened, maybe in the future he would never have the time to be with her like this again.

He controlled his inner emotions, quietly looked at Yao Shouning's face, saw her calmness and confidence when she mentioned this matter, and firmly remembered her demeanor in his heart.

The rain gradually became heavier, and the carriage moved forward.

At this moment, there was a sudden 'da da' sprinting sound in the distance, and someone seemed to be approaching quickly.

"... After the matter was over, he sent me back, and I happened to meet Big Brother Luo." Yao Shouning happened to be finishing his disappearance, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head to look in the direction of the source of the sound.

Luo Ziwen looked up, and saw a figure rushing towards the carriage like an arrow off the string.

The figure flew over the low house, running extremely fast, touching the tiles on its toes, and then raised its breath, leaving afterimages in the rain. Luo Ziwen looked up and shouted happily:
"It's the son!"

After Lu Zhi received the fireworks signal from him, he should have rushed over immediately.

Hearing Luo Ziwen's shout and seeing the carriage, he jumped without hesitation.

Yao Shouning also heard Luo Ziwen's words, her voice stopped subconsciously, she instinctively raised her skirt and looked up.

She saw Lu Zhi standing on the roof, and also saw the scene where he jumped.

At this moment, she forgot that the son possessed martial arts, and when she saw him flying, she couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Be careful."

While speaking, she reached out and grabbed the car door.

Shizi turned over in mid-air, landed like a bird, without even splashing water, his body floated forward like a swallow for a few steps, and then stood still in front of the carriage.

One of the two stood in the car with his waist bent, and the other stood in front of the car and stared into the car.

Since Yao Shouning disappeared, although six days and seven nights have passed, in Meng Songyun's domain, it seems that she is not affected by the outside world. For her, she just spent a period of time with Meng Songyun, talked to him, and completed a matter with him.

But for Lu Zhi, these six days and seven nights felt like years. He had no mood to sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't drink water, and he was thinking about Yao Shouning all the time.

In the past, Yao Shouning's impression in Yao Shouning's mind was of extraordinary beauty and flying spirit, his brows looked bright, his eyes were bright when he spoke, arrogant and serious, and when talking to unfamiliar people, he often kept his face cold and pretended to be dignified.

But at this time, his lips were chapped and festered, blood was mixed between layers of gray skin, bags under his eyes even appeared, beard appeared around his lips, and his whole person seemed extremely haggard.

His hair was disheveled and seemed to have lost its luster, and the pride in his eyebrows and eyes was swept away, replaced by anxiety and bewilderment, making it obvious that there was a serious problem with his state.

He stood in front of the carriage, ignored Luo Ziwen who was driving the carriage, and naturally ignored Wen Jingsui who was sitting in the carriage.

Lu Zhi's eyes seemed to be out of focus, just like Wen Jingsui who was heartbroken before, since Yao Shouning and Chen Taiwei left that day, he fell into anxiety and self-blame.

He blamed himself for not being good at learning, for not working hard enough these years, for losing Yao Shouning.

He didn't know how to explain to Yao's family, when he went back that day, he didn't even dare to look Liu Bingzhou in the eyes.

In the past few days, he often had hallucinations, as if he occasionally heard Yao Shouning calling him crisply, but when he turned his head in ecstasy, he didn't find Yao Shouning's figure.

People around him were very worried about him, even Liu Bingzhou advised him not to be so radical, but to search calmly.

But he dare not relax.

He was afraid that Yao Shouning was waiting for him somewhere to save her, and he was afraid that if he went a little too late, he would lose the chance to see Yao Shouning again forever and ever.

At this time Yao Shouning was standing in front of him, but Shi Zi dared not breathe.

He was worried that all this was just an illusion again, and it was just that everyone worried about his mental state and made him happy.

"Sir?"

Yao Shouning shouted in a low voice.

Lu Zhi shook his body and blinked his eyes slowly.

He was trembling with fear when he blinked, fearing that in the blink of an eye, Yao Shouning would disappear like a phantom in the past—maybe he didn't hear the signal flare flying into the sky, and he didn't rush over to meet this carriage, let alone see Yao Shouning, Wen, and Wen Jingsui sitting in the carriage?

The son turned pale with shock.

It's fine for him to see Yao Shouning, but why did he see Wen Jingsui?He blinked hard, but the scene in front of him didn't disappear.

Lu Zhi realized something, his eyes were sore.

His sore eyes, which had not closed for several days, flooded with tears. He looked at Yao Shouning, and reached out to touch her hand.

Subconsciously, she grabbed him with her backhand.

His fingertips were cold and trembling non-stop. The moment he was caught by her, he quickly interlocked her fingers, wrapping her palm tightly in his own.

"Shou Ning!!!"

Shizi yelled, and with the yelling, tears burst into tears.

"Shouning! Shouning! Shouning!" He hugged Yao Shouning's hand, pressed her hand to his face, and cried loudly.

"..." Yao Shouning was startled by him.

"..." Wen Jingsui was both sad and speechless.

He was also very sad when his father died, but the moment he met Yao Shouning, he suppressed his grief and cried through the rain, fearing that Yao Shouning would leave an impression of himself as cowardly and incompetent.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi cried so loudly as soon as he came, without any prestige.

What annoyed him the most was that he was very sad, but Yao Shouning kept the etiquette and handed him the handkerchief to protect the boundary between the two.

And Lu Zhi cried so unmanlyly, but Yao Shouning let him hold his hand, and even patted him on the back softly.

Although he already knew the gap between himself and Lu Zhi, when he really witnessed this scene with his own eyes, Wen Jingsui felt pain in his heart, and even faintly regretted his over-restraint.

If he cried like Shizi, would Yao Shouning...

"Shou Ning, Shou Ning, it's really you, you're really back—" Shizi burst into tears, pouring out all his worries, anxieties, regrets, self-blame and fear these days.

Yao Shouning let him hold his hand and put it on his face, feeling the coldness of Shizi's cheek and the warmth of tears.

She has a strong empathy, and she feels more and more the sincerity of the son at this time.
