In the evening, Zhongnan Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, the green and black mountains are undulating and winding, the rain is falling, and the vegetation is fresh.
Rainwater gathers and flows into the stream, causing the usually gurgling water to become turbulent. It pours down from the waterfall between the cliffs and into the pool at the bottom of the mountain. It surges with force and makes a faint roaring sound.
Not far from the water pool is the jingshe on the back hill of Dayun Temple. The open windows let in cool water, but the atmosphere inside is full of depression and despair.
Changsun Wuji knelt down and sat in the middle. His chubby white face was stunned. A few age spots appeared on his face at some point, and the gray hair on his temples looked older. At the bottom, there is Yuwen Shiji who has just returned from the Youhou Guard Camp. His clothes are soaked and he has not had time to change. His face is tired, his face is green and his lips are white.
Linghu Defen and Dugulan were sitting on the other side, opposite Yuwen Shiji. At this moment, both of them had their eyes wide open, and their faces were full of disbelief.
The atmosphere of silence lasted for half a stick of incense before Linghu Defen broke the silence with a trembling voice. He first said to Yuwen Shiji: "How is it possible?"
Without waiting for Yu Wenshi to reply, he turned to Changsun Wuji, swallowed his saliva, and asked: "What did you rely on when you called all the families to join forces in the first place?"
These people have gone through two dynasties, ups and downs in the officialdom, and each controls a family. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are outstanding people in the world. Many times, there are some things that need not be said clearly. For example, Changsun Wuji secretly joined the Liaodong Army. Sneaking back to Chang'an, he planned the mutiny. Everyone has already agreed that since Changsun Wuji dared to do this, it must be that His Majesty Li Er had an accident and could not return to Chang'an - otherwise, who would lend everyone the courage of a black bear? Do you dare to raise troops under the rule of His Majesty Li Er and defeat Jinxiu Guanzhong until everything is desolate and the walls collapse and the houses collapse?
" This kind of thing cannot be asked clearly in front of Changsun Wuji, and there is no need to ask. This is a tacit understanding between them.
However, now everyone has launched a mutiny. Not only has it failed to destroy the East Palace and depose the prince, but even the foundation has been riddled with holes. The whole family is just one step away from being destroyed. They have no choice but to hide in Dayun Temple and wait for the situation to turn around. And you told me that His Majesty Li Er is back again?
Changsun Wuji drooped his eyelids and remained silent, his whole person exuding a dead silence of "all thoughts are empty"
Yu Wenshiji wiped his face with a handkerchief, ignoring his messy hair, and said quickly: "Now is not the time to blame anyone. Since His Majesty is back, we must quickly discuss countermeasures. Previously, the prince wanted to fight against Shandong and The plan of Jiangnan and Jiangnan to return to the court is no longer feasible, everyone, what should we do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Lan exploded.
"boom!"
He slammed the tea cup in his hand to the ground, his beard was trembling, and he said sternly: "Fart! What do you mean by complaining? I have long thought that this can't be done, and wanted to stay out of it, but one by two you forced me to get involved. Now that we are not only at the end of our rope, but also facing death, why can't I complain?"
Yu Wenshi opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
When the incident occurred, Dugu Lan acted extremely coldly and was not enthusiastic about the matter. He even wanted to stay out of the matter for a while. However, for such a Guanlong Zhongzhong, with a high title, status and prestige, it would be difficult for him to just watch with cold eyes. Gathering all the power of Guan Longmen Vale, he tried his best to bring him in.
People complain about a few words now, and there seems to be nothing wrong
Linghu Defen on the side also sighed, rubbed his face vigorously, and almost cried in his voice: "Your Majesty has always been generous, but what we have done this time has touched His Majesty's bottom line. Now that His Majesty is back, he will treat us badly. Using thunderous means, for the sake of past friendship, it may not be possible to wipe out three tribes at once, but at least it will have to be distributed to the frontiers The Linghu family has lost its foundation in my hands and has been reduced to dust. How can I meet my ancestors? Zong?"
This is the most difficult punishment for a wealthy family to accept, and it is only a little lighter than the annihilation of three tribes. Once they are sent to the frontier, it means that the Tang Dynasty will never hire the children of the clan. Two generations later, the wealth accumulated by the once famous family for more than a hundred years will be completely dissipated and lost to everyone
These words stung the hearts of those present. Silence returned to the monastery. The sound of water outside the window and the pattering of rain were heard, but everyone felt as if there was a big stone pressing down on their hearts, making them unable to breathe.
For a long time, Changsun Wuji, who had been silent for a long time, shook his knees and said in a hoarse voice: "It's my fault. It's over now. I have no words to complain or hate you. But don't worry, I will definitely give it to you." An explanation.¡±
Dugu Lan was frightened in his heart, and his tone was inevitably sharp, and he said angrily: "Explain? My Dugu family has been a proud family and has been prosperous for generations. Now it is about to be destroyed. How can you explain it?"
He didn¡¯t understand in his heart, so he had no grandson.He stretched out his hand majestically and tried breathing at the end of Changsun Wuji's nose, and then touched the blood vessels in his neck. Everything was still.
"Auxiliary engine"
Yu Wenshiji cried out sadly, knelt down and paused with his head on the ground, choked and unable to speak.
He and Changsun Wuji have worked hand in hand to control the Guanlong clan for twenty years. They are both comrades-in-arms who work closely together, and also intrigues opponents. However, no matter how the relationship changes, the friendship between each other can never be erased.
But today, he was the one who forced Changsun Wuji to death.
This big rock that was weighing on his head was finally overturned, and no one could stop him from becoming the leader of Guanlong. However, there was no joy in his heart, only the sadness of a rabbit dying and the guilt of forcing his old friend to death.
