Nightfall Chapter 260: What happened back then, how is it now?
Volume 2, Winter Lake, Chapter 260, what happened back then, how is it now?
Ning Que met Xiahou for the first time on the banks of the Hulan Sea last year. Later, he met up close in Tuyang City. At that time, Xiahou, although he failed to compete for the Book of Heaven and Ming Scroll, was forced to reach an agreement with the Academy The agreement was disarmed and retired, but the demeanor was still calm and self-confident, and there was even a hidden domineering.
However, today’s Xiahou is obviously getting older. Although he is wearing a brand-new armor, his eyebrows are still cold and indifferent, and his body is still tall and straight, but Ning Que can faintly smell it. There was a musty smell from the damp woodshed years later on the general's body.
The news that Xiahou was continuously assassinated by powerful demons in the wasteland, although strictly kept secret by the Datang Military Department, gradually spread, and naturally spread to Ning Que's ears.
"The method of the Demon Sect to clean up traitors is more direct and powerful than imagined."
Ning Que looked at the back of Xiahou, who was covered by a sea of people in the distance, thinking that if the armor on Xiahou was really cut and scrapped by the giant knife in Tang's hand, his originally extremely poor hope of success might be Fortunately, one more point.
Xiahou is a general of the empire, the title is honorable, not like Zhang Yiqi Yushi or Huang Xing, and can be assassinated at will. The most important problem is that Xiahou, who is getting old, is still so powerful, and Ning Que wants to assassinate. It is basically impossible to succeed without leaving any evidence.
The court and the academy silently allowed Xiahou to return to old age peacefully. Xiling didn’t know what he thought. In short, Ning Que nowadays seems to have countless backgrounds behind him. In front of Xiahou, these backgrounds would not contribute at all. In this case, how can he kill Xiahou?
In the days when Datang Tianqi fifteen years from the spring to the summer solstice and autumn return, a plan gradually formed in Ning Que’s heart, but every time he thought of this plan, even he himself felt a little absurd, because no matter how you look at it There is no possibility of any success. If you let others know the true content of his plan, such as Li Yu, Ye Hongyu, or Chen Pipi, you will feel that there must be something wrong with his brain.
In the whole world, probably only two fellows, Brother Er and Chao Xiaoshu, would agree.
Sangsang held his chin, looked at the crowd below the teahouse, suddenly turned his head, looked at Ning Que, with a worried expression on his small face, and said, "Why are you so anxious?"
Ning Que said: "I have been waiting for fifteen years, and I think my patience is already very good."
Sangsang said seriously: "Wait for him to get older, we will be stronger, and wait for him to return to the countryside for a few years, then we will do it again, isn't it more certain?"
From childhood to age, Ning Que was reluctant to think about things that were too **** and cruel, but this does not mean that he had not taught her. In fact, whether in Minshan or on the grassland outside Weicheng, he I have been instilling a certain concept into the little maid—no matter whether the enemy is always weak, women or children, as long as they can defeat the opponent, any shameless means can be used, all sad emotions must be endured, and the most sure When you make a move, you will kill the opponent.
Ning Que smiled and said: "If you don't kill again, Xiahou will be really old."
Sangsang asked puzzledly: "Is that bad?"
Ning Que said: "When he is older...killing him is naturally more certain, but I am worried, what if he died of illness? What if he really died of old age?"
Sangsang didn't understand, and thought if Xiahou died of old age and sickness, what's the problem?
She asked: "Is that bad?"
Ning Zhengtou said: "Very bad."
Sangsang frowned slightly and asked: "Why?"
"Because Xiahou is not my enemy."
After Ning Que paused for a while, he continued calmly and said, "He is my enemy."
At this moment, the shopkeeper and the guys of the tea house returned to the building, excitedly talking about the team they had seen on the street, and admiring the mighty General Xiahou.
Ning Que quietly listened to the discussion in the teahouse and shook his head.
"The enemy can die from natural disasters**, the tsunami and the river collapse. As long as he no longer stands in front of us, blocking our way forward, and disrupting our affairs, even if he chokes to death while eating or the toilet stinks, it doesn’t matter. ."
"But the enemy is different."
"For revenge, if the time is too long or too long, it will gradually ferment and evolve into another flavor, which is more important than letting the other party die and paying the price for the story of the year. It’s about killing the other person to make oneself forget the story of the year and get real relief from then on."
He looked at Sangsang and said: "However, whether it is to make the enemy pay the price or to get free, the most critical link is ultimately to kill the enemy. And he must die in the hands of the Avengers , Can’t die by oneself, can’t be killed by God, can’t sleep to death in bed."
Ning Que thought of the Chang'an East City where it was raining that year, the old blacksmith in the blacksmith shop, and the pale hair that was wet by the rain.
"He can't even be old, sick, or haggard. It's best to be at the peak of his life. Only in this way can he bring enough pleasure to the Avengers, and this is the point of revenge."
"Xiahou is old."
Ning Que repeated what he had said before very seriously.
"If you don't kill him again, he will be really old."
……
……
General Xiahou returned to Chang'an City, first entered the imperial palace to meet with His Majesty, and then accepted the title given by His Majesty at the court meeting, and accepted the respect and compliments of the courtiers.
After the court meeting was over, he declined the invitation of several court ministers, and took his soldiers to the military headquarters to handle military affairs. He stayed in the small building hidden by the green forest on the meadow next to Suzaku Avenue for an entire afternoon. Time, it is said that he had a long conversation with General Xu Shi, the leader of the Datang military.
The dusk faded and the night enveloped Chang'an. Xiahou left the military headquarters. The soldiers rode torches and escorted him to the solemn and noble Prince's Mansion in the North City.
The Prince's Mansion in the night was brightly lit, and after an ordinary but old friendship, Li Peiyan, Prince of Tang Dynasty, took him to the study.
On the jet black book case, there are several files on hold. The handwriting on the files is thick and light. It is obviously not written in a time period. Some names are written on it. Next to the names are written in small letters and densely written with very detailed notes. .
Zhang Yiqi, Chen Zixian, Yan Suqing, Lin Ling, Gu Xi, Huang Xing, Yu Shuizhu...
These names may be expensive or inferior, or officials or civilians or military, but they all have two characteristics in common. First, these people were once members of the Datang Army, and second, they all died.
Li Peiyan looked at the names on the dossier and said calmly after a long silence: "These people are dead, so it means that some people who should have died are still alive."
Xiahou looked at a name on the dossier and said blankly, "This person has not participated."
"He participated in the matter of passing the Yanjing."
Li Peiyan sighed, pushed the files on the book case aside, looked at Xiahou worryingly and said: "Although there is no evidence, these names and the stories hidden behind the names can prove that our worries are right. At that time, someone in General Xuanwei's Mansion was still alive."
Listening to the name of Lin Guangyuan, Xiahou's two eyebrows that were like thin wires slowly raised.
Of course he remembers who Lin Guangyuan is.
Ten years ago, there was a general Xuanwei in the Datang Army who was known for his bravery. The general's name was Lin Guangyuan. At that time, many people believed that Lin Guangyuan was another powerful general in Datang after Xiahou.
In the first year of Tang Tianqi, Xiahou destroyed Lin Guangyuan's family.
It's not because he doesn't like people to compare himself with this general. Although he is known for his domineering and brutality, he has no interest and hobby that can easily destroy the crowd.
Xiahou narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression a bit complicated.
It's not because he feels guilty about the general Xuanwei in his heart. He has killed too many people in his life, has done more cruel and cold-blooded things, and it is nothing to cut down a general.
It's just that the mention of Lin Guangyuan in the Prince's Palace reminded him of many things in the past.
Ten years ago, the empress died of illness, and the surnames of Qinghe County were ready to move. Your Majesty took the trouble to travel south to Daze with the concubine called Xia, and he took the disaster.
Xiahou took his majesty's secret edict, brought thousands of iron knights, secretly returned to Chang'an from Tuyang City, and sat in the back of his majesty, and his assistant prince temporarily watched the affairs of the court.
He received another edict from Xiling Temple.
Facing the secret edict of Xiling Temple, he was at the peak of his life and wanted to continue to enjoy the respect of the world, so he calmly accepted the other party's request.
A **** storm started in the city of Chang'an, and General Xuanwei's mansion was full.
Xiahou knew that doing so would anger His Majesty the Emperor who was cruising in Daze, but he believed that with his own merits, no matter how angry his Majesty was, he could not do anything to himself without evidence, and he was hidden. Looking forward to your majesty's anger, he will not canonize that concubine named Xiaxia as a queen.
He didn't want his own sister to be the queen of Datang, because he knew it was a very dangerous thing. However, he did not expect that His Majesty still let his sister become the empress.
Compared with these stories, how much blood and dust the stone lion in front of General Xuanwei's mansion was stained with has never moved Xiahou, nor is it qualified to make him sad.
……
……
In the study room of the Prince's Mansion.
Li Peiyan looked at Xiahou and said bitterly: "Lin Guangyuan actually has blood circulating in the world, this is nothing at all, but if the general, who is determined to avenge him, is now a direct disciple of the master, he has become a college. Mr. Thirteen on the second floor, this matter is in trouble."
Xiahou was silent for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness means... Ning Que is Lin Guangyuan's son?"
Li Peiyan sighed and said: "I don't want to admit that this is true, but apart from this, there is no other explanation."
"In the past, I personally supervised the case of Xuanwei General Mansion copying and cutting. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, very few people were exempted from the mansion, and they were all fish of nine astronomy without a contract."
Xiahou looked at the lightly shaking candlelight on the book case, and said blankly: "Lin Guangyuan has only two sons, and his characteristics are recorded in the book. I personally checked it."
Li Peiyan said: "Then this shows that someone moved their hands and feet."
Xiahou said indifferently: "Even if Ning Que is Lin Guangyuan's son, what can he do?"
