Looking at Ah Jiu in front of him, although she was still beautiful, her complexion looked extremely pale, as weak and helpless as an ordinary woman. This woman, who had a dramatic life in the original work, grew up in an imperial family, but never enjoyed the glory and wealth. She has been burdened with a blood feud since she was a child. The bitterness and helplessness in this are really regrettable. Thinking about this, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel deep love in his heart. He stood up and walked to Ajiu, patted her shoulder, and sighed: "Whether you are an emperor or a commoner, you are always a woman. Why do you have to bear everything alone?" ?”
Hearing Lin Pingzhi's comfort, Ah Jiu's delicate body trembled first, and her eyes suddenly became dull. She recalled her past - Li Chuang's army captured the imperial city, her father, Emperor Chongzhen, sent the Crown Prince, Prince Yong, and Prince Ding out of the palace, and ordered the beauties of the harem, including Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan Guifei, and Empress Yi'an, the descendant of Xizong, to commit suicide. , and personally killed Princess Zhaoren, then left the palace, and finally hanged himself in Meishan. But she escaped because she was not in the palace at the time.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to stabilize people's hearts, they rewarded her generously and asked her to marry Zhou Shixian, the consort Chongzhen had chosen during his lifetime. But she didn't agree, so she was rescued by a mysterious man on the wedding day and taught her martial arts. Coupled with her failure in her relationship with Xia Qingqing, she has decided not to marry in her life.
Lin Pingzhi's gentle words moved Ah Jiu a little. She raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at the person in front of her with a wry smile on her lips, and said: "Brother Lin, I know your kindness. You saved Ah Jiu twice in danger, but you didn't want anything in return. But these years I have become accustomed to facing everything alone, and my heart dies when my country is destroyed and my family is destroyed."
"What...what's going on? Why does it sound like a confession? There's something wrong with the plot." Lin Pingzhi muttered to himself. However, what he didn't know was that no one cared about Ah Jiu since he was young, and when he first fell in love, he encountered the hatred of the country and the family. At this time, Ah Jiu was just a woman in her early twenties.
After a moment, Lin Pingzhi sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and distress in his eyes. He knew that Ajiu had experienced too much suffering and endured too much pain, but he also understood that living alone was not what she really wanted. He gently held Ah Jiu's hand and said softly: "Ah Jiu, I understand your feelings, but there are some things that you cannot bear alone."
Listening to Lin Pingzhi's words, waves arose in her heart. I have always been a loner. I am used to loneliness and have gradually become indifferent. But now, the appearance of Lin Pingzhi made her start to doubt her choice. She looked into Lin Pingzhi's warm eyes and felt the warmth and care she had never experienced before.
"Brother Lin, maybe you are right." Ah Jiu said softly, with a trembling voice, "But Ah Jiu cannot forget the hatred between the country and the family."
The gentle breeze blew their faces. Lin Pingzhi raised a faint smile on his lips and let go of her hand subtly. He knew deep in his heart that if he could not resolve the doubts in her heart today, everything would be in vain. So, he patted her shoulder gently and said in a soft voice: "Ajiu, you have to understand that the national hatred is not just about you. Have you ever thought deeply about what will happen if you assassinate Kangxi today? situation?"
Hearing this, Ah Jiu's eyes flashed with anxiety and confusion. She was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly. "Brother Lin, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I really can't let it go..." At this moment, her heart was filled with hatred of country and family, but Lin Pingzhi's words also made her start to think about whether it was right for her to do this.
Lin Pingzhi always looked at Ah Jiu with a smile. After a moment, he said: "I can understand the anger and dissatisfaction in your heart, but you also know that this decision will cause greater waves. I don't want you to give up hatred, but I hope you can think calmly and find a better solution."
Lin Pingzhi's words made Ah Jiu's eyes gradually become doubtful. Seeing the change in Ah Jiu's eyes, Lin Pingzhi knew that his persuasion was working, so he continued: "Now the struggle for hegemony among all the forces in the world has gradually been achieved. Balance, if something happened to Kangxi at this time, the people would still suffer. What's more, no dynasty can prosper forever, and one person's power can never change the overall situation, but if a wise path can be found, maybe we can win more for the people Benefit."
Hearing this, tears finally fell from Ah Jiu's eyes. She didn't know this, she just didn't dare to face it before. Lin Pingzhi raised his hand, gently stroked Ah Jiu's hair, and said with firm eyes: "Ah Jiu, you only avenged your family by killing Kangxi, and it will also cause chaos in the world, but the national hatred has not diminished. Since you want to Go ahead, why don't you think of a way to destroy the Manchus?"
Ah Jiu's tears gradually stopped, and she raised her head, with a different kind of light shining in her eyes. He took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and then said: "Thank you... Brother Lin, you are right. I have always only cared about revenge for my family, but I have ignored the revenge of my country. The Manchus brutally killed my people. , wantonly plundering our land and wealth, they are unpardonable. I not only want to avenge my parents, but also my tribe and the entire nation."
Hearing Ajiu's determination, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. He knew that Ah Jiu was a brave and determined woman. She not only deeply missed her family and relatives, but also had a deep love for her country and nation. He held Ah Jiu's hand, his eyes flashed with determination, and said firmly: "A Jiu, we must unite more like-minded people to unite and fight against the Manchus. Only through our efforts can we The country and its people have regained their freedom and dignity."
Ah Jiu felt the sincerity and determination in Lin Pingzhi's words, and ripples appeared in her heart. After a moment, she nodded vigorously, with a hint of gratitude and dependence on her expression.
Lin Pingzhi's words were like a key, opening the door to Ajiu's heart that had been sealed for a long time, causing ripples in her heart that was originally as calm as the surface of a lake. Ah Jiu nodded vigorously in response, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth could not hide her inner gratitude and dependence.
Lin Pingzhi looked at Ah Jiu in surprise. His words actually touched the girl's heart, causing her tears to fall like pearls. This made Lin Pingzhi panic. He thought for a moment and said, "Ajiu, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry. Turn the sadness in your heart into tears. It will make you feel better." "
However, this time, Ah Jiu chose to turn his back and his shoulders twitched slightly. Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. He walked over silently, stretched out his hand to touch Ah Jiuxiang's shoulders, and said softly: "Okay Ah Jiu, no matter how many grievances and hardships you have suffered in the past, haven't you all come over now..."
Hearing Lin Pingzhi's gentle words, Ah Jiu felt as if a window had been opened in her heart, letting in warm sunshine. She couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about her lonely and helpless life these years. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she leaned against him and cried loudly. Lin Pingzhi held her quietly, letting her vent her inner sadness.
After some catharsis, Ah Jiu felt much relieved. She found that the posture between the two was a little too intimate, so she sighed quietly and said, "Brother Lin, can you let me go first?"
"Ajiu, I can let you go, but you can't do anything to me."
"ah……"
Seeing Ah Jiu's cute look, Lin Pingzhi whispered something in her ear. After a moment, Ah Jiu couldn't help laughing, "Pfft!", but immediately said with shame and anger: "You will bully me..." However, after a moment, she sighed again: "Brother Lin, why are you doing this to me?" I'm so good..."
"It was fate that we met." Lin Pingzhi replied somewhat unnaturally.
"Is it really fate?" Shuang'er glanced at him with a half-smile. : "I remember the last time we were separated..."
Lin Pingzhi laughed dryly, thinking that the last scene was really embarrassing... But seeing that Ah Jiu was not angry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took off his coat and put it on the other person.
"Brother Lin, Ah Jiu is currently... inconvenient..." Feeling the changes in Lin Pingzhi, Ah Jiu said this out of nowhere.
"Ah...I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
