Chapter 405 Can’t you hate it?
At this time, the wind also stopped, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Without Pei Mo's voice, this huge imperial garden would be like a ruined land without human habitation.
"Does Your Majesty still remember what Sheng Xiuyu said that day?" Pei Mo raised his head and looked at the emperor, "In order to get rid of me, Sheng Xiuyu sent out nearly a hundred secret guards to take my life."
There was ice in his eyes, and as he spoke, the thrill of that day seemed to be happening again.
"His men forced me to a cliff thousands of feet high. Your Majesty, do you know how loud the wind can be?"
That was the first time Pei Mo knew that the sound of strong winds was really scary. Before that, he thought the wind in the border fortress was scary enough, but he didn't expect that the wind howling in the empty valley in the south was real.
Terrible.
What does that feel like?
Pei Mo recalled that when the wind blew over his injured face, it would hurt like a knife. The blood on the tip of the knife would be blown away by the wind. His hair would fly and his clothes would flutter. It was not like a human being.
Banished to immortality, he is like a man whose soul has been broken and is homeless.
The sound of the wind sounded like the cries of the souls of those who died in vain, or like thousands of wild beasts wailing together. It reminded him of the dying cries of wild wolves he had heard while guarding the border fortress.
These memories were obviously not good. From then on, whenever there was a windy night, he could only fall asleep holding Murong Qing tightly.
"The emperor went to the battlefield when he was young. He must have heard the roar of thousands of war horses, the beating of countless war drums, and the shouts of death rising to the sky. This was the sound of the wind in the Valley of Bones that day."
When the emperor faced Pei Mo's eyes with complicated emotions, he found that his throat could not make any sound for a moment.
"I was so exhausted that I fell into the abyss. When I woke up, I found myself lying by a stream. Then all the bones in my body felt as if they were broken. Why do you think Wei Chen is alive today?"
Pei Mo asked, and his heart suddenly felt weak. At this moment, he desperately hoped that the blood flowing in his body had nothing to do with the person in front of him.
The king is the king and the minister is the minister, the father is the father and the son is the son, so what does he have to do with the emperor now? The king and the minister are not like the king and the minister, and the father and the son are not like the father and the son.
The person who caused his mother to die in vain was clearly the indecisive emperor in front of him. He struggled hard and had to go through many things before he came to him. After planning for so long, the person who should pay the most was still alive and well!
Forbearing and stinging, Pei Mo's eyes gradually became sinister, and his knees on the ground hurt. This pain seemed to crush and tear his mind and soul.
People who hold hatred in their hearts are like keeping a wild beast in a cage. One day, the wild beast will rush out and wreak havoc. The lucky people let the beast go and be themselves, and the unfortunate people are devoured by the beast.
Murong Qing felt a dull pain in her heart, and she remembered the blood clot on Pei Mo's head. Although the general went to see a doctor after returning home, the blood clot had disappeared a lot, but there was still a part of it left on the back of his head.
She had just looked at Pei Mo not long ago. When she plucked out his hair, there was a small patch of dark purple on his green scalp. It would sting slightly if she pressed it down. The doctor told Pei Mo to be careful and never do it again.
Don't touch this area, otherwise you will easily become comatose or lose your memory again.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but quietly reached out and grabbed Pei Mo's wide sleeves.
Just when Pei Mo's eyes were about to turn scarlet with hatred, a weak pull suddenly came from his sleeves, and he realized that his wife was still with him.
The surging unwillingness and humiliation pressed back into his heart again. Pei Mo's eyes regained clarity and he lowered his head indifferently. Then there was a burst of fear. If Murong Qing hadn't held him back, he might have lost his composure.
For some reason, the emperor read a hint of chilling feeling in Pei Mo's eyes, and realized that he had hurt Pei Mo's heart. He actually felt a little guilty. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
After a long time, the emperor came to his senses and spoke slowly, "Pei Aiqing, it's my fault. It was Sheng Xiuyu who brought your sword back. I thought you were dead, so I ordered a funeral for you. Don't blame me.
I."
Li Fuquan, who was kneeling not far away, was a little shocked. Did he hear it correctly? The emperor was actually apologizing to General Pei!
Didn’t you just return the favor every step of the way?
Pei Mo never raised his head. He took hold of Murong Qing's little hand through his wide sleeves and found that her hand was slightly cold. He regretted even more that he had agreed to accompany Murong Qing to the palace to meet the saint.
"How dare Wei Chen complain to the Emperor? The Emperor didn't know anything about it. Wei Chen's survival depends on his luck. Wei Chen injured his leg at that time and couldn't move at all. He could only lie down by the creek for two days and drink the water when he was thirsty.
When I'm hungry, I'll see if I can catch fish.
The night in the valley was very cold, and Wei Chen did not dare to fall asleep, fearing that he would sleep to death and never wake up. Later, Wei Chen couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to, because he heard the howling of wolves in the forest.
At first, Wei Chen thought that he was desperate. Perhaps he was lucky. He had never encountered any wild animals in the past two days. After he could move his legs and feet a little, Wei Chen found a strong branch as a walking stick and walked with hope.
Some people from the mountains saw me."
The emperor seemed to sympathize with Pei Mo's experience. He asked, "What happened next? How did Pei Aiqing live in the desolate Valley of Ten Thousand Bones?"
Pei Mo continued, "Your Majesty knows that the Valley of Ten Thousand Bones is deserted. Sheng Xiuyu designed to force Wei Chen there because he wanted Wei Chen to die. There is really no sign that anyone has ever lived in the Valley of Ten Thousand Bones.
, as long as you open a certain bush of grass, you can see the scattered bones of people. If it were not for the mercy of God, I am afraid that I would have turned into bones long ago."
"Wei Chen dares to ask the emperor. Wei Chen is a warrior. He fought in the frontier for many years before gaining military merit and becoming a first-class general. Just because he doesn't want to bow his head like Sheng Xiuyu, he wants to put me to death. Is Wei Chen able to come back alive?
It's really not easy, Sheng Xiuyu hates Wei Chen so much, shouldn't Wei Chen hate him?"
When he said this, Pei Mo gritted his teeth.
Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps. Such things are discussed in private, but if we want to put them in the public eye, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Sure enough, the emperor choked, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped. Looking at Pei Mo's bent back, he actually felt a little sad.
"That's all, get up. The ground is cold. Don't hurt your knees by kneeling."
The emperor seemed to sigh, and his words were filled with concern, making it difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
"Pei Aiqing, why didn't you tell me earlier? I was the one who made you suffer."
Pei Mo stood up and casually supported Murong Qing beside him. He patted the fallen leaves stained on his robe and responded humbly, "Thanks to the emperor's love, I am much better now. Sheng Xiuyu has already been executed. The emperor asked such a question
, I don’t think it’s Wei Chen who is resentful of him and deliberately set up such a situation to frame him.”
