Yu Zhi looked at Jiang Qing again, his sharp eyes like sharp arrows piercing into the other person's eyes.
Jiang Qing felt guilty, but did not avoid Yu Zhi's gaze.
"Yu Zhi, it's hard to disobey the emperor's order." Jiang Qing said in a deep voice.
"Really?" Yu Zhi asked sarcastically, "So, Guo Shuer's parents should die."
Jiang Qing was silent for a moment. No one deserves to die, and killing someone to pay for life is the most just principle.
"Da Chu will take good care of Guo Shu'er and ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing and a lifetime of wealth."
Yu Zhi looked stern and said angrily: "That's not what she wants! It's just justice!"
Of all the people present, only Yu Zhi clearly knew what Guo Shuer had paid for revenge.
It's her innocence, her body, pretending to be a slut, allowing her enemies to humiliate her and take pleasure in her crotch. She even abuses herself more than the women in the brothel.
But all this cannot be told, and only Yu Zhi knows.
Jiang Qing sighed deeply. He had been an official for decades and had seen many unfair things. Even he could only give up on most of them.
He looked at Yu Zhi as if he saw himself when he was young, also so ignorant, fearless and upright.
But he also knew that passion alone could not change any facts.
What Yu Zhi experienced was exactly what Jiang Qing had experienced.
Xiao Jingyao also sighed and said: "The so-called justice is always relative. Cangshan Mountain is huge, and there is Cang Bieli, who is known as the half-step master. The deterrence of the Northern Border Army is also limited. Now, the night ghost is born, and chaos will arise in the world. , if you move Cangshan, you will lose some of your power to protect the world."
"The overall situation is here. Even if it violates the laws of Dachu, we have to calm down the matter with the minimum loss."
Jiang Qing added: "This world is inherently unfair. All we can do is try our best to maintain some fairness."
Everyone in the pavilion was silent. Yu Zhi seemed to understand, but he could understand Xiao Jingyao and Jiang Qing's considerations, but he was unwilling to give in to Guo Shuer.
"Now that the case is known, can Guo Shuer be taken away by me?" Yu Zhi asked calmly.
Xiao Jingyao said: "As long as Guo Shuer is willing, of course it is possible."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Yuzhi, don't let her do stupid things."
Yu Zhi turned his back to Xiao Jingyao and smiled slightly. Isn't this silly thing talking about Guo Shuer's assassination of Cang Shui?
If it weren't for the timely help of Xu Qing and Lei Shen, Guo Shuer would have died in the hands of those in Cangshan.
In a dark room in the plum garden, a woman sat in front of the dressing table. She described the gnarled wood in the mirror as like autumn weeds, lifeless.
There was a guard standing outside the door. This was to protect the woman inside and to prevent the woman from committing suicide.
Yu Zhi pushed open the door and entered. The dim room swallowed his figure, giving him an extremely depressing feeling.
Yu Zhi looked at Guo Shuer and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry for you."
Yu Zhi once promised to avenge Guo Shuer. This revenge refers to murder and blood repayment.
Guo Shuer did not answer. When she failed to assassinate Cang Shui, she knew that there was no hope of revenge in this life.
Guo Shuer once believed in Yu Zhi and thought that the Chu Dynasty would bring the murderer to justice.
The cruel reality made her realize this ugly world full of lies.
Yu Zhigui faced Guo Shuer and walked behind her. When he saw Guo Shuer's appearance, he felt extremely guilty.
"I know you will never trust anyone now." Yu Zhi reached out and picked up the comb on the dressing table and began to comb Guo Shuer's messy hair.
"Your grievances, your parents' grievances, all these are like a big mountain pressing on your heart. If you don't have revenge, you will live with such hatred."
Guo Shuer didn't react at all, looking at herself in the mirror with dull eyes.
Yu Zhi's words seemed to be persuading Guo Shuer to let go of hatred and give up revenge.
But Yu Zhi changed the topic and continued: "My parents were gone when I was very young. Not long ago, I learned that they were also killed by others, and the enemy was more powerful than Cang Shui, but some The grudge must finally come to an end."
Yu Zhi finally combed Guo Shuer's hair. He put his hands on Guo Shuer's shoulders, and a warm air instantly spread throughout Guo Shuer's body.
"Follow me, I'll avenge you!"
Guo Shuer raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the young man's sincere expression in the mirror.
Can I still trust him?
But, how could I kill Cang Shui on my own?
Yu Zhi's proposal was Guo Shuer's choice. Other than that, she had no other choice.
...
One day later, Yu Zhi and his party left Beiliang City.
The tasks assigned by the Inspectorate have been completed, Ye Qinghuan's revenge has been avenged, and Li Wantong's legs have been healed.
If so, the trip north can be called perfect.
But Li Wantong was kidnapped by Mr. San and others, and became the bait for Yu Zhi to step into the trap.
There are four people on this trip, Yu Zhi, Ye Qinghuan, Wei Wuji and little monk Wuhua.
Wei Wuji was the strongest fighting force beside Yu Zhi besides Li Haomiao, so he had to take Wei Wuji with him.
During the battle in the small courtyard, if Wei Wuji hadn't been attacked by the swordsman, he could have beaten Mr. San. His fighting prowess is evident.
Wuhua is a master disciple of Xuankong Temple. Although he is not experienced in the world, his cultivation is comparable to the swordsman genius Ye Qinghuan.
According to what Wuhua said, since he was saving people, why did he lose the little monk?
Wu Hua goes down the mountain to practice merit. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.
As for Guo Shuer being left in Yu Zhuyue's small courtyard by Yu Zhi, Yu Lan originally resisted Yu Zhi and brought back another woman, but after listening to Yu Zhi telling Guo Shuer's life experience, Yu Lan's soft heart instantly broke. Guo Shuer regarded her as her good sister.
But one day, the smile on Guo Shuer's face became much brighter.
Yu Lan, this girl is born with the ability to make people happy.
After nightfall, the four of them gathered around the bonfire. Yu Zhi and the other two were eating meat, while the little monk Wuhua was nibbling noodles.
Meteor Cliff is not a good place at first glance. Among the four, only Wei Wuji knew where this place was.
Wei Wuji said: "Meteor Star Cliff, this is the highest cliff in Yanyun Prefecture among the three prefectures in the north. It is like a big hand stretching out from the earth and touching the sky. Because the terrain is extremely high, stars often fall on the cliff. It's like a big hand catching a meteor."
"Therefore, there are often rumors among the people of Yanyun Mansion that this is the destination and tomb of fallen stars in the sky."
Yu Zhi didn't care about these folk rumors and murmured: "Yanyun Mansion... What does this have to do with Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry?"
Wei Wuji lamented: "Back then, the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun originated from Yanyun Mansion. It can be said that Yanyun Mansion was the home of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun."
Yu Zhi continued to ask: "Then King Chu is also from Yanyun Mansion?"
"No, Xiang Ji was not the king of Chu at that time. Xiang Ji came from Nanzhou Prefecture. When he was serving in Yanyun Prefecture, he recruited talents. In just a few years, he found eighteen people in Yanyun Prefecture. These people were among Xiang Ji's After vigorous training, he became the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun today, and became the elite soldiers and generals who dominated the world at that time."
A proud look flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes. "When the Beidou Camp was still there, I and other Beidou Seven Stars fought against several of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry."
"Won or lost?" Yu Zhi asked curiously.
"Of course we won." Wei Wuji said, "It's a pity that Beidou Camp is no longer here. After all, no one will live longer in this world."
Yu Zhi picked up a branch and fiddled with the bonfire. In an instant, the flames shot up and a ball of sparks flew everywhere, fleeting like fireflies.
"The Marquis is wrong. If I live in this world, even if it lasts for hundreds of years, I will be nothing more than a walking corpse. I don't want a man to be born in a prosperous world, I just want to follow the one I love with gray hair and eyebrows. That's ten It’s enough.”
Wei Wuji smiled and continued the topic of Falling Star Cliff. "I don't know how many Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry have come during this trip. Mr. Third will definitely set up many traps to deal with the young master. Please be careful, young master."
Yu Zhi's eyes reflected rising flames and countless sparks, but his expression was extremely determined.
"This trip is going to be a sea of swords and fire, and I want to go through it too."
Yu Zhi suddenly looked at Wei Wuji aside and said, "Master Hou, you may not know that a few months ago, I was always a person who was very afraid of death. Because, since I was a child, someone has been saying in my ears, You're dying. It's like a nightmare. No matter where I go, this sound stays with me."
"Maybe one day I really die, and I won't feel weird." Yu Zhi smiled mockingly.
"So, I have been hiding in Tiandao Mountain, hiding in Daoyao Academy, hiding under the protection of my aunt, so that I can feel more at ease."
"Later, I went down the mountain. My aunt asked me to go down the mountain, so I went down the mountain. Sure enough, I encountered many dangers, assassinations followed one after another, and those people slowly surfaced."
"I have to say, I want to thank these people. If it weren't for these assassinations, I wouldn't have met Wan Tong, let alone face these enemies as fearlessly as I do now. If they want to kill me, I will kill them first. After all, you have to live first to be on par with Wan Tong Baishou, right?"
"So, not only do I want to live, but Wan Tong also wants to survive!"
Wei Wuji listened and praised: "Young master, you are infatuated, very similar to your father."
Yu Zhi raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "I take this as a compliment. From now on, these compliments will be said when Wan Tong is by my side."
"Hahaha."
The laughter of the two people echoed in the mountains and fields, like the bright moon and the night wind.
Yu Zhi didn't ask about his parents or the past grudges. He was absolutely sure that Wei Wuji would not say it, and these words would eventually have to wait until a qualified person said it.
That is Li Qingru who has been raising Yu Zhi.
opportunity!
Yu Zhi was waiting for the right time.
Li Qingru is also waiting for the right time.
Yu Zhi knew that this opportunity would not be long ago.
At this time, Yu Zhi looked at Wu Hua, who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed. During these days in the small courtyard, Yu Zhi learned all the details about this little novice monk who was not deeply involved in the world, and almost even found out the secret techniques of Xuankong Temple.
Therefore, Wuhua was cautious and mostly avoided Yu Zhi and did not talk to Yu Zhi.
"Master Wuhua." Yu Zhi said.
This sound startled Wuhua into a cold sweat.
Wuhua was a little wary and more afraid of Yu Zhi, who wanted to get the secret skill of "One Flower, One World".
This benefactor Yu always makes people unknowingly fooled.
