UGB Chapter 266
Chapter 266
Elephant chariots are not uncommon in Tianheng Country, and all the nobles can ride on them.But stopping on the official road will still attract people to stop and watch.Especially this elephant car just appeared a few days ago. The scene is very spectacular. There are more than a hundred people in the procession with the elephant car. The costumes and accessories are exquisite. Some people hold musical instruments and play music all the way. They are the first This is the first time I have seen such a large group of foreign envoys.
When Lin Qingyang saw the elephant cart that came to pick them up, he was in a bad mood.The elephant cart is much taller than ordinary carriages, and it is pulled by two giant elephants. The frame is a huge round shape, very gorgeous, a bit like a round pavilion, hollowed out on all sides, surrounded by hanging veils, layer upon layer, Covering up the scene inside, it feels like a girl is trying to cover up but also ashamed, looming, arousing people's curiosity even more.
If this is the one you sit in when you enter the city...
Lin Qingyang's face turned red little by little, and he desperately recalled whether he accidentally pulled the veil to reveal the scenery inside, and whether he let outsiders hear anything. After all, even if Lin Qingyang lost his mind, he was relatively restrained. Kind of, but he really didn't dare to say what happened that day.However, in my memory, except for the bell that has been lingering in my ears all the time, and the rhythm is completely closed, there should not be too much sound coming out of the veil, it should be...
In the process of walking towards the elephant car, Lin Qingyang always felt that someone kept looking at him, and when the veil was put down, Yuan Ran hugged him.
Lin Qingyang quickly stopped, and asked anxiously and shyly, "How did I get into the city that day? We were not there at that time..."
Yuan Ran can only lie down with the person in his arms first.
"It's nothing, such a high car is covered by a veil, so it's impossible for others to see it. And unless the distance is very close, most people won't hear anything." In addition, the elephant car is shaking when it is moving forward, so naturally it will not cause any disturbance. What doubts, how could he let others see Lin Qingyang's picture.
"Wait, this elephant car also needs to be driven by someone, isn't that close?" After Lin Qingyang finished speaking, he had already realized that it was Lu Yi and Lu Shi who were sitting on the shaft just now?With Yuan Ran's current temper, it is absolutely impossible for someone who doesn't trust him to approach him within the safe range, so... before it was Lv Yi and Lv Shi, no wonder Lv Shi didn't dare to look at him just now.
And they were actually being 'watched' all the way...
Lin Qingyang collapsed and covered his face, he was almost ashamed to see people, as expected, that experience was his nightmare.
But everything happened, so I can only comfort myself. Anyway, if he wants to leave Tianheng, as long as it doesn't happen in Dazhou, he still has the face to live on. As for Lu Yi and Lu Shi, they are personal guards, according to Yuan Ran's identity , this situation is unavoidable, it is better than letting strangers hear it.
Live with a thick skin, and the sun will still rise tomorrow.
Along the way, Lin Qingyang was not in the mood to satisfy Yuan Ran's unstable state, so he directly pulled Yuan Ran to talk about serious things. There were too many things before, and there was no time to fully explain the situation of Xie Yiqing and Xu Lanxin.
This time it happened to be clear once and for all.
Lin Qingyang looked at Yuan Ran's gloomy face, and couldn't help but said: "You said... Xie Yiqing and Xu Lanxin are all for you, can this matter be resolved peacefully? When you finish handling the matter here, reveal your identity Can you..."
"Who said they were for me?" Yuan Ran's voice could not help but be chilly.
Lin Qingyang was taken aback, "There should be no need for them to lie, it's just that they don't know what they think now."
Yuan Ran chuckled and didn't explain anything, but his eyes were full of disdain.
Suddenly, a lion's roar made Lin Qingyang jump.
Yuan Ran pulled Lin Qingyang up, and the Colosseum arrived.
After getting off the elephant car and looking at the huge circular building in front of him, Lin Qingyang suddenly thought that Yuan Ran must have been here before, but when he stepped here again, he wondered if Yuan Ran would be stimulated.
Lin Qingyang was looking at Yuan Ran worriedly, but Yuan Ran took Lin Qingyang's hand without any response, and led the people inside.
It seemed that something was going on in the huge Colosseum. The sound of wild beasts kept coming. It was completely different from the ones seen in the zoo. It was a real wild beast, and the roar could make the heart beat faster.
There are only simple guards on the periphery of the Colosseum. Passing through the passage, I suddenly saw two people standing on the viewing platform.
One was Qi Ci with a stern face, and the other turned out to be a long-lost saint.
The saint stood in front of Qi Ci, as if begging for something, Qi Ci frowned slightly, but did not give any answer.
As the two approached, both Qi Ci and the saint noticed it and looked over.
But the eyes of the saint suddenly shifted to Lin Qingyang. After all, Yuan Ran was a stranger to her. The foreigners are basically only envoys, or people who go to the front to really fight Yuan Ran when the two armies confront each other.
The former, the envoys of Tianheng Kingdom all went there many years ago, they have long been reshuffled by the internal reshuffle of Tianheng Kingdom. The latter general was either killed by Yuan Ran on the battlefield, or he was the only one who successfully encircled and suppressed the West of the Imperial Palace, so even the saint had never seen Yuan Ran.
Qi Ci saluted Yuan Ran and greeted Lin Qingyang.
After Lin Qingyang responded, he also looked at the saint, who was much haggard compared to last time.
"Why is the saint here?" Yuan Ran asked directly.
"The Holy Maiden wants to ask us to let go of the Imperial Palace..." Qi Ci frowned. Although the Holy Maiden was kind to him, he could not agree to such a request.
"Your little emperor managed to regain power. Isn't this what you hoped for? Let him go and let him take charge of Tianheng? Let Tianheng continue to rot?" Yuan Ran said coldly.
The saint immediately explained, "No, I know that he has sinned deeply, but everyone should have a chance to redeem their sins. I will bring him by my side, educate him well, and never let him touch power again."
"No!" Yuan Ran refused coldly.
The saint's face was pale, her begging eyes swept over Qi Ci, and then at Lin Qingyang.
"Saint, don't be naive. If this kind of person is released, he will be let the tiger go back to the mountain." Qi Ci said directly: "He will not be educated."
Lin Qingyang nodded in agreement.
But the saint couldn't help but blushed, "You...don't want to let him go...then at least don't torture him in this way...it's better to give him a good time."
After the saint finished speaking, the roar of the lion came from below the stands.
Lin Qingyang took a step forward and watched, although he guessed that Yuan Ran put the imperial palace west in the Colosseum for revenge, but when he saw dozens of lions besieging a person who was trapped by iron chains, he still couldn't believe it. Feeling physical discomfort, but thinking that this was what Yuan Ran had experienced, Lin Qingyang had absolutely no sympathy for Yusuoxi.
On the contrary, when he saw Gosho Nishi who was struggling to kill the lion inside and became embarrassed, he became more and more angry, angry that Gosho Nishi treated the crazy Yuan Ran like that.
Faced with the saint's request, Yuan Ran was unmoved, and said directly: "If you want to die happily, unless he passes these thirteen levels."
The blood on the face of the saint is gone, these words are very familiar, the former Imperial Palace West also said such absurd things to the slaves who want to be free, the saint can't help but feel fear in her heart for a moment when she looks at Yuan Ran, This person... seems to be as dangerous as Gosho Nishi.
Since two days ago, after Yusuoxi was captured alive, he was directly thrown into the Colosseum by Qi Ci, and he was asked to break through the barriers. Just now when the saint saw Yusuoxi, she felt that if this continues, Yusuoxi will definitely die here. In the eyes of the saint, if Gosho Nishi is destined to die, she must not use this method, it is too cruel to him, after all, this is the beginning of his twisted life...
The saint still wants to ask, and is willing to exchange everything.But Yuan Ran didn't give her a chance.
"Qi Ci, take her out."
Before the saint could ask any more, she was taken out by Qi Ci.
On the other hand, Lin Qingyang looked at it for a while, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head to avoid it, and opened his eyes to look at it when there was no more sound in the Colosseum. Xi Yusuoxi sat on the ground in a state of distress, panting, with injuries all over his body. He didn't care about the bleeding, he stretched out his hand and randomly grabbed a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, biting it comfortably, as if he just finished playing a game, obviously life was already passing by.
This person...is really sick.Lin Qingyang sighed again.
After being in a trance for a while, Yusuoxi, who got used to his body, noticed that someone was looking at him. He thought it was Qi Ci and the saint again, but when he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yuan Ran came, but then he saw someone standing next to him When Lin Qingyang was around, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, stood up curiously, staggered to the wall, and looked up.
"Caught back?" This was said to Lin Qingyang, and then he said to Yuan Ran: "If you have leisure time to come and see me, have you already planned how to deal with Tianheng Kingdom?"
Lin Qingyang looked at Yusuoxi in shock, how could this person still smile in such a situation?
"Do you really want me to destroy Tianheng Kingdom?" Yuan Ran took off the veil and looked at Yusuoxi with blood-red eyes.
"The army is at Tongguan Pass. There is no support for what happens here, but it is an excellent opportunity. For the sake of the hatred five years ago, isn't it what you should do to destroy Tianheng? The first prince destroyed the enemy's country and made a great contribution. At that time, Xu Lanxin can only abdicate obediently." Yusuoxi looked at Yuan Ran with a smile, and said, "But you can definitely think of these, so I won't talk too much."
Lin Qingyang really couldn't stand the scolding: "This is your own country, you..."
"I've tried my best, isn't this unstoppable?" Gosho Nishi shrugged helplessly.
Lin Qingyang suddenly remembered what was said in the original article about the abandoned city of Yusuoxi, and really didn't understand what Yusuoxi was thinking, but Yuan Ran on the side smiled.
"Can't keep it? Helped me at the beginning, and then lost to me so quickly. Did you let me on purpose? Or did you want to die?"
Yushoxi smiled and said: "There is only one thing in my life that I am not willing to do, and that is something that is doomed to failure. If I don't help you, you will still get help from messing up the Tianheng Kingdom to fight back to Dazhou. After all, other small countries should not be able to achieve the effect you are doing now. The little emperor and other people who want me to die will hand over power to you, so we will still play against each other. This will not change because I will help you or not. , After all, you have this strength. In the first two fights, I really tried my best and wanted to have a good fight with you, but I still lost, so it was boring. Since I knew I would lose, it was only a matter of time Why should I be dying with a cheeky face, boring and boring, if something is doomed to fail, then I will definitely speed up the process of failure, so as not to waste my time."
Lin Qingyang was stunned and couldn't understand his thinking logic at all, but Yuan Ran smiled and said: "I think so, it's indeed the way of a smart person."
Yusuoxi looked like you understood me, and continued: "Besides, I really want to help you. I didn't have the opportunity to participate in the private meeting of the Prince's Revenge before. I almost missed it. This time I will definitely take an important part." After all, this scene became exciting because of my participation, and the ups and downs have to be finished."
"What about Xu Lanxin?" Yuan Ran asked directly.
Yusho Nishi immediately became excited and said: "So you all know? This is the best scene I arranged, how about it? It's exciting enough, love, hatred, anger, and delusion, what a wonderful story."
"You!" Lin Qingyang was instantly aroused, "Is it so interesting to play with other people's lives?"
"It's not my fault. If you want to blame it, you can blame it. It's all your fault for making Yuan Ran soft-hearted." Yusuoxi said innocently.
Lin Qingyang was stunned for a moment. He naturally understood what Yusuoxi said. After all, Yuan Ran would not encounter this trouble in the original text, because he would not become friends with Xu Wenze, and would not relax his treatment of Wei Guogong because of this. Even if Concubine Mei didn't take action, he would take the initiative to kill Concubine Xu in order to provoke everything.It's not relative, not reason, for the revengeful Yuan Ran, there is nothing he can't kill.But because he is not the Yuan Ran of the original text, so...
Lin Qingyang took a deep breath, and Yuan Ran said directly in a cold voice: "I don't need others to bear my own faults, Yusuoxi, it's pointless to play sobering discord now."
Yusuo Xi squinted his eyes and glanced at the distance between the two. He didn't believe that after this time, the two could still reconcile as before. It must be because of Yuan Ran's coercion.So I couldn't help provoking it.But he felt that what he said was true, but a real man would not attribute his failure to others.
Yuan Ran held Lin Qingyang's hand under the wall, and said seriously and calmly: "It's because I never doubted her from the beginning to the end, and it's also because I neglected to eradicate villains like Director Sheng, the relationship between Zhao Cheng and Concubine Mei... , I should investigate more clearly, because I thought everything would come to fruition, but the gutter capsized." Yuan Ran will not be too obsessed with past failures, and he can find many reasons for it. What he cares more about is the future How to deal with it.
"Hehe, it's true that you took it lightly. It was difficult for Xu Lanxin to cause a big storm. She is a woman, and Wei Guogong's mansion is not powerful. It seemed that there was a faint tendency to stand in your power. She originally wanted to enter the palace. Difficult, so they had to keep a low profile for a few years and slowly rely on my help to accumulate money and manpower. I heard that she was still trying to imitate your emperor's favorite concubine until the emperor took a fancy to her and welcomed her into the palace. The plan can only be started, but they are weak in the face of the three major clans in the imperial city, so they can only temporarily attach themselves to the fourth prince. According to her own plan, even with my help, it will take longer to take the risk Success. But your appearance quickly removed all obstacles for her, and you didn't suspect her, and successfully blocked her in the most behind-the-scenes position. If you lose, you can only blame yourself."
"Obviously you told her to keep an eye on Chu Lishu." Lin Qingyang said sharply.
"But before I reminded her, she knew the truth of hiding everything. I didn't lie from the beginning to the end. I told her that Chu Lishu had the same goal as her and was a difficult enemy to deal with. Is there anything wrong? "
"But you clearly know that she..."
Lin Qingyang hadn't finished his excited words, Yusuoxi burst into laughter, then looked at Yuan Ran and said, "Do you know that Xu Lanxin loves you, and for you, she will take revenge and snatch the throne, everything is for the sake of you." What about you, maybe if you go back now, she can remarry you directly and offer the throne with both hands. Do you think you are innocent after being tired for so long? Do you blame me for not telling Xu Lanxin about your identity? "
After Yusuoxi finished laughing, he found that Yuan Ran had been looking at him indifferently, but Lin Qingyang who was on the side was very angry, and was very angry about this oolong.
"It seems that this kind of plot can only deceive simple guys. I think it is impossible to see the annoyed look on Yuan Ran's face." Yusuoxi sighed.
Lin Qingyang was half-dead from anger, and was suddenly confused by Yusuoxi's words, so he couldn't help looking at Yuan Ran.
Yuan Ran slowly said: "Some people who claim to be righteous will subconsciously find a reasonable and legitimate reason for what they do, so that they will have the motivation to insist on satisfying their desires or appease their empty hearts."
"Yes, yes, it's not like Yuan Ran and I can face our own evil." Yusuoxi said with a smile.
"What... mean?" Lin Qingyang said in amazement.
Yuan Ran sneered, "I'll tell you a story. There was once a village where there was a dragon temple. Whenever the village was short of rain, they would offer sacrifices. They were extremely devout. In their eyes, that was the greatest god. , But one time, there was a drought and the Dragon Temple was not working, so they ruthlessly destroyed the Dragon Temple and rebuilt other gods."
Lin Qingyang was completely stunned by a short story, but it sounded like thunder.
"Understood? She doesn't really love me, she just loves an illusory imagination, a perfect future. Maybe there is a little girl's heart hidden in it, but it should be the time I was defeated by the pupil, It's gone, she came to me paranoidly, but she couldn't believe it, and after learning the truth, she would only think that I was the incompetent dragon god who couldn't help the people escape the drought."
Lin Qingyang listened in a daze. He saw and heard a woman who was helpless and distressed, but what Yuan Ran and Yusuoxi saw was a woman who was bloodless and ruthless, only for herself.
He suddenly remembered that if a woman like Xu Lanxin can really indulge in love, she will definitely compete for the first place in everything, so how could she say "it's okay to be a queen", because her self-aware identity does not revolve around men at all. The transferred harem concubine is a capable person who assists the emperor. She wants to change the world through Yuan Ran.
Could it be that he didn't want to appear too cold-blooded, so he implied that he was a kind and righteous person, just like Jing Rouyin's previous disguise.
Lin Qingyang was a little unacceptable, but many doubts came to his face. Cooperating with Yusuoxi and Zhao Cheng, he never stopped talking to the Queen Mother and Xie Yiqing, and was willing to conceive the emperor's child. That's really what a woman who loves Yuan Ran can do. To the sacrifice?Or is it more legitimate to change the reason?
"Then... what if she knows you are Yuan Ran now?" Lin Qingyang asked unwillingly. "Then I have also failed and changed, Yuan Ran who was almost killed by her, what qualifications do I have for her to follow again?" Yuan Ran said indifferently: "She will not admit that I am Yuan Ran, but will try to kill me. me."
"Yes, yes, even if I didn't disrupt the situation, the result would still be the same. I just sped up the process." Yusuo Xi interjected with a smile.
Lin Qingyang was still troubled in his heart, "Is this really going to happen?"
"How do you know... When did she doubt for a moment who I was fighting for? Did she really not expect it or dare not doubt? Even if you can't imagine that I am Yuan Ran, if the goal is the same, in case we are all fighting for Can't the same person cooperate? Even if people will change, they may have their own ideas, but she didn't even try to test it, and wiped out all the forces that she couldn't threaten or control." Yuan Ran said lightly : "She is for me? I don't believe it. Even if she opens the city gate to welcome me back, I won't believe her easily."
Lin Qingyang felt that the feelings in his heart were very complicated, with sadness and horror intertwined.
The most complicated thing in the world is the human heart, and the most terrifying thing is suspicion.
What Xu Lanxin was thinking was only clear to her, Lin Qingyang couldn't figure it out anyway.
Yushoxi sighed with a smile, looked at Yuan Ran with red eyes and cold eyes with great satisfaction, and said: "That's right, this is the most perfect Yuan Ran, you should be suspicious of everything, what is your true original intention, everything will change in the face of power , Human nature is inherently evil! No matter how merciful you are, you will really die."
Lin Qingyang looked at Yusuoxi viciously, always feeling that Yusuoxi wanted to drag Yuan Ran down to hell because he was in hell.
Xi raised his eyebrows and said: "Since Lin Qingyang is here, the envoys who accompanied him must have been wiped out. No one sent news back to Dazhou, and the news of my defeat will not be covered up for long. Xu Lanxin should There will be a quick response, are you ready?"
That night the envoys just wanted to stun Lin Qingyang and prevent him from escaping, but they didn't know that Yuan Ran had ordered the guards to get rid of them before entering the city. Already dead.
"Is it related to you? Anyway, you can't see it." Lin Qingyang said angrily.
Gosho Nishi didn't care about his own death date, anyway, he did what he had to do. "Forget it, if you can't see it, you can't see it. I can't interfere with your future."
Lin Qingyang was really upset to see him look like he had won even though he had lost miserably.It doesn't make sense to kill him like this.But such a lunatic, if all he does is just for fun, what weakness is there?
"Prepare? You mean destroying Tianheng and using it as a merit to force Xu Lanxin to abdicate? Don't worry, maybe you can see it. Just treat it as your reward for shortening the time for me, and I will let you die in peace." Yuan Ran smiled faintly.
But Gosho Nishi was slightly taken aback, with an uncomfortable smile, as if he was suspicious of something.
Yuan Ran turned to look at Lin Qingyang, and asked softly, "Let's go?"
Lin Qingyang nodded, he was really tired.
But when the two turned around, Yusuoxi suddenly asked, "Are you reconciled?" Just now, Yuan Ran was extremely ruthless when facing him, but when he turned to Lin Qingyang and asked carefully, it hurt Yusuoxi's a little. The eyes are almost in the same posture as the Chu Lishu in the past.
Isn't it separated?Aren't you confused with other people?You are obviously crazy, so how can you trust others so easily?Absolutely impossible.
Yuan Ran and Lin Qingyang ignored him and walked straight forward.
Yusuoxi couldn't help shouting: "Yuan Ran, your red eyes are very beautiful, but don't change them back. Otherwise, you will still fail, and all the suffering you have suffered is meaningless."
