Taohuaxi

Chapter 54: Going to the Sea of ​​Fire Together
The people in Jinyiwei didn't know, and neither did I. Half an hour ago, Xun Yitang had accidentally discovered Cheng Huaishi on Wuling Mountain.

Cheng Huai was in prison. After hearing the jailer's sentence of death, he waited for death.

Feng Gao went to rescue him under a secret order, but he didn't know what was going on and refused to come out.Feng Gao couldn't explain it to him, so he tied him up and threw him in Wuling Mountain.Turn around and pick me up to meet him.

Feng Gao thought of a way to be safe.

He tied up two men of similar stature, divided his troops into two groups, and headed for Wuling Mountain.

One was the real Cheng Huaishi, led by his capable subordinate Ge Dasheng, who went up the mountain from the west side of Wuling Mountain and hid in a dense forest.Going all the way to the west, there is a small road without checkpoints that leads directly to Jicheng.This is where he later ordered the driver to take me.

The other one, a fake Cheng Huaishi, was taken by him and placed on the east side of Wuling Mountain.Along the way, he lured the Jin Yiwei, hoping to switch from defense to offense on the mountain, and took the opportunity to attack, capture Mullin alive, and remove a hidden danger in his heart.He has found out that the Jin Yiwei wanted to manipulate the "tea guide" used by Cheng Cang, the eldest son of the Cheng family, to kill the Cheng family.He doesn't want me to have any worries.

He thought about everything carefully and tightly.

Use this matter as bait, but not Cheng Huaishi.

He calculated all the mechanisms, planned the most appropriate method, and tried his best to protect everyone I care about.

However, God's calculation is ultimately inferior to man's calculation.

On the day of Cheng Huaishi's execution, Xun Yitang came to Qionglin Academy. Together with a group of scholars who had been classmates with Cheng Huaishi, he collected all the articles and poems Cheng Huaishi had written in the academy, as well as the pens and inkstones he had used in the past. .Taking these objects and thoughts with her, she wanted to return to Peach Blossom Temple on the mountain and commit suicide.

Master Zhang died suddenly.

Cheng Huaishi was sentenced to be beheaded.

She made up her mind not to live alone.

It's such a coincidence.

On the way up the mountain, she met Cheng Huaishi.

Shocked and delighted, she untied the rope from Cheng Huaishi and took him back to Taohua Temple.

The news that Long Live Lord had abolished the New Deal spread all over the world.

The two sat across from each other, sighing.

All ideals came to nothing.

This world will return to a world where "rich families smell wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road".Going back to the Jiajing period, the tragic situation of "people still dying of hunger under the emperor's feet".Countless poor people will bend down and be exploited by heavy taxation and corvee.

Master Zhang's hard work and Cheng Huaishi's hard work were in vain with the death of Master Zhang.

Cheng Huaishi's resolute face was full of despair.

Xun Yitang sat silently beside him and said: "If you pledge your life to the country, why should you not dare to do anything? The second master has done his best and persisted until the last moment of the New Deal."

Suddenly, the sound of swords and soldiers sounded outside.

The voice of Jin Yiwei Mu Lin came: "The traitor Cheng Huaishi, come out and die quickly!"

The nuns in Peach Blossom Nunnery were all panicked and fled down the mountain.

Cheng Huaishi glanced outside.

Immediately, he said to Xun Yitang: "I was already dead a long time ago. Even if Mr. Feng saved me for a while, he could not save me for the rest of my life. For the rest of my life, I will just stay anonymous and linger. My life has been bright and upright, so I don't need to be like a snake in the darkness. Living like a rat or an ant? Miss Xun, don’t worry about me, just run away."

Xun Yitang's eyes were filled with tears, he shook his head desperately, mustered up the courage, and threw himself into his arms: "Second Master, there is a breeze in this world. If the breeze in the world no longer exists, what's the point of Yitang living alone in the world?"

Cheng Huaishi couldn't bear to push her away and had mixed feelings in his heart.

Jinyiwei Mu Lin has already rushed in with his men.

Cheng Huai was outnumbered and captured by the Jinyi Guards.

This is a perfect opportunity to attack dissidents.How could Mullin miss it?The secret report from his subordinates turned out to be true.Feng Gao was always cautious, but he missed such a big mistake.

He smiled ferociously: "If you know the truth, you can reveal Feng Gao. Maybe I can leave you a complete body."

To die is to die.

What are you doing to hurt others?

Cheng Huaishi refused to speak.

Mullin ordered people to kidnap him out of Taohua Temple and torture him severely, hoping to force him to confess so that he could go to Wansui for reward.

I, who followed, saw this scene and ran forward quickly.

I have the royal title of "Lord of Yide Township", and the guards in imperial robes did not dare to hurt me. Mullin ordered his men to pull me away.

Cheng Huaishi, who was covered in blood, screamed at me desperately: "Go! Go!"

I refuse to give up.

He suddenly turned his head and refused to look at me: "In this critical moment, Zhu Sangyu, are you still so selfish and unwilling to make things perfect for me and Yitang? The letter of divorce has been issued, why do you want to fight with me anymore? ?”

Xun Yitang jumped on him and protected him from the whipping.She seemed to know for the first time that I was divorced.There was joy and sadness in her eyes.

The divorce letter has been issued, why should I argue with him again?
One sentence was like a wake-up call, and I was unable to argue.

Feng Gao tried his best to make him flee the world with me.This is just Feng Gao's wishful thinking, and it's just my own opinion.Will he?

My heart is like a kite with its string broken, floating in the air.

On that side, when Feng Gao went up the mountain and met the fake Cheng Huai, he waited left and right, but no Jin Yiwei came. He became suspicious and searched all over the mountain.Finally, I heard something strange happening in Taohua Temple.

Not long after, he led his troops and surrounded Jinyiwei and Taohua Temple.

Mullin wanted to make a last-ditch effort and held me hostage to threaten Feng Gao.

It was too late, but it was too soon. Feng Gao stepped forward with a lunge. As his palms turned softly, his deep inner energy spurted out, knocking Mullin back.

"Sister, are you okay?"

He walked up to me nervously, looked up and down, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I was fine.

He turned around, his face changing color.

He sneered at Mullin: "Okay, very good, my dog ​​can bite people."

This sentence points directly to the truth behind the incident involving Liu Shou, the previous commander of Jinyiwei.

Mu Lin was pulled up by Feng Gao and used to give Liu Shou a fatal blow.

It was Feng Gao who promoted Mullin to this position.

Mullin became angry with embarrassment: "To this day, Feng Gao, you are shielding a death row prisoner. The evidence of your crime is conclusive, but you still dare to be so rampant!"

Feng Gao curled his lips and waved his hand.

The masters from Dongchang came over.

A bloody battle.The ground was littered with corpses.

Mullin was captured alive.

Feng Gao kicked him to the ground, reached out and grabbed his chin: "Do you know why you are not as good as me?"

Mullin's eyes widened in horror. He was well aware of Feng Gao's methods of persecuting people. He trembled and said: "You, you, I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards. You dare not kill me privately, you cannot kill me... …How do you explain to Your Majesty?”

Feng Gao smiled: "Look. You are rash again. Not only are you rash, you also think that I am as rash as you. It's so stupid. I am your Majesty's man and I only work for your Majesty. Do you understand?"

Mullin shook his head in disbelief and pointed at Cheng Huaishi: "You mean, you mean, he, he is..."

Feng Gao said leisurely: "Your Majesty said that this is a secret and cannot be known to others. Now that you know it, I can only make you not know it to be considered as complying with His Majesty's order. You are mobilizing troops like this because you want to What are you doing? Conspiracy? Or, after you found out this information, you intend to embarrass His Majesty? That His Majesty will not be able to stand down in front of the world?"

"You! You spitting blood!"

"It doesn't matter. I will find a way for you to recruit until I am satisfied. Dongchang's responsibility is to solve problems for His Majesty. Feng will not forget this for a moment."

He patted Mu Lin's face: "Master Mu, don't worry, if it falls into the hands of my Dongchang, I will make you feel comfortable from beginning to end, inside and out."

Mullin shuddered.

Feng Gao let go of his hand, took out the handkerchief from his arms, and wiped his fingers carefully, as if he had touched the dirtiest thing in the world.

He winked at the person beside him.

The man understood and dragged Mullin away.

A pungent smell filled the air.

When Dongchang and Jinyiwei were fighting, Xun Yitang lit Taohua Temple on fire without knowing when.

In late autumn and early winter, Beijing is extremely dry.

In Peach Blossom Temple, there are many incense and candles that can be lit at once.The fire was like a huge tongue, licking everything.The fire surged to the rafters.

Xun Yitang stood in the nunnery holding a torch with a look of determination.

She was prepared to die.

But we didn't notice it.

Cheng Huaishi looked at her in pain, the veins on his forehead popped out.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed in with lightning speed.

Feng Gao grabbed him, but only grabbed a torn sleeve.

Feng Gao was furious and said: "You bastard! If you don't run away with my sister, you will die!"

The flames lit up Cheng Huaishi's clothes.

He laughed sadly.

All lonely.

"It can take as long as ten years, or as short as ten years, and the Ming Dynasty will surely perish. When I was in Chenghuai, I took the emperor's salary and took state affairs as family affairs. Tell your majesty, I don't want to live a secret life! I don't want to see the country destroyed and my family destroyed! I I am going to die today, and I am willing to exchange my blood for your majesty’s life! I hope your majesty will wake up!”

Feng Gao cursed: "How can you be worthy of my sister!"

He wanted to go in and pull Cheng Huaishi out.However, the beams fell in the fire, and the fire had sealed the door.Entering at this time is tantamount to being buried with someone.

There is a Tao in the world, so die with the Tao.There is no way in the world, and he is martyred with his own body.

He stood with Xun Yitang.

Both of their clothes were on fire.

"Brother Huaishi, do you remember? When we were young, we went to Guanyin Mountain together. A warlock once said that we were born in the same year and died in the same year, and we have a bad fate. Now it seems that he was right."

She smiled and was martyred with him.

Across the flames, Cheng Huaishi looked at me and hugged Xun Yitang tightly.

"My heart is as bright as the bright moon, but the moon waxes and wanes. It is difficult to make decisions with self-discipline in life, and I don't want to mislead the country and miss you."

This is the poem he once wrote on paper.

It is difficult to decide on self-discipline in life, but it is still broken.

I don't want to make a mistake for my country and my dear, but I still made a mistake.

I knew that from the moment he chose to die with Xun Yitang, my relationship as husband and wife in this life was completely over.I struggled desperately and tried to get closer, but now I was alone and my hands were empty.

I lost this marriage.

His status and leadership were all lost.

The two of them hugged each other in the fire.

I stared blankly at the sudden fire.

Burn away my pale attachment.

Burn all my charming feelings.

The scene in my dream came true.In the dream, he said, leave your love to me and your ideal to Yitang.

Looking back on the past, what he left to me was nothing more than dew-like love.

In front of this fire, there is no trace of dew.

Xun Yitang looked at me and said with a smile: "I'm laughing at you and I, the twenty-eighth beauty, are coincidentally the same age. I'm laughing at you that my close friend doesn't know my close friend... Zhu Sangyu, I win."

At that day, in this gate, we met under the peach blossom tree for the first time.

I have only seen immortals planting peach trees, but I have never heard of immortals looking at bonuses.

Zhao Zhao looks forward to the immortal Gu, and the peach blossoms laugh at the spring breeze every day.

Suddenly hearing that the fairy trail arrived, the face of the peach blossom man turned red.

"Yes. You win."

She defeated me in such a brutal way.

Peach Blossom Temple is their tomb.They sleep in the same cave.

My tears flowed like waves on the Thousand Miles Grand Canal, carrying the ship that carried me from Dongchang Prefecture to Yangzhou in the past, sailing towards my destiny in a mighty way.
