Volume 3 The King of Kunlun Chapter 77 Waiting (3)
Zhang Hong raised his head to look at Meng Po in surprise. Seeing Meng Po nodding and giving him a positive answer, Zhang Hong's heart was filled with sudden joy. Lin Shiyao lowered his head and slowly turned his hand around Zhang Hong and leaned on him. Seeing that Lin Shiyao was actually hugging Zhang Hong, he immediately widened his eyes with a vulgar face. Zhang Hong also subconsciously wanted to hug Lin Shiyao, but he couldn't raise his hand.
Zhang Hong took a deep breath, closed his eyes and whispered: "Finally, Zhang has done one thing right... He is to take the initiative to die and come to this underworld..." Niu Li subconsciously snorted: "Miss Lin, the person you are waiting for, um... seems to have some problems..." Lin Shiyao came to his senses and hurriedly let go of Zhang Hong, blushing and explained: "Your Highness Niu Li, Shi Yao is waiting for Lord Zhang! He rehabilitated my Lin family, tried his best, and was determined to revive the court, working day and night. Now he has been framed by a treacherous minister, which is exactly the same as my father..."
Niu Li squatted down, tilted his head and looked at Lin Shiyao's side face and interrupted her, "But Miss Lin, as far as I know, your family has not been rehabilitated! Moreover, Zhang Hong... I don't think he was killed by a traitor." Lin Shiyao looked at Niu Li: "Has he met an assassin...or, is it because the emperor... believed in slander again?"
Zhang Hong looked at Lin Shiyao with a serious expression, gritted his teeth and stood up and said frankly: "Miss Lin, Zhang really dares not lie in front of you - I... I do so many unrighteous things, and was killed by the righteous man in the martial arts world under the sword!" Lin Shiyao looked at Zhang Hong with some disbelief and opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Zhang, what did you say? How could it be..."
Zhang Hong smiled sadly and took a few steps back, setting a distance of about a meter from Lin Shiyao: "Ms. Lin, you look down on Zhang Hong so much. To be honest, Zhang Hong later raped and plundered, colluded with enemies and stolen the country, and did everything he committed. The crimes he committed were really numerous! Today, he was finally killed by a righteous man in the world... Miss Lin, I am not the great benefactor you imagine, nor is it a good minister... It's really not..."
Lin Shiyao shook his head with his eyes wide open: "How is it possible? No, absolutely not! Lord Zhang, you..." Niu Li pressed Lin Shiyao's shoulder and was about to tell him about Zhang Hong's bad deeds, but suddenly Meng Po blocked his mouth with his hands. "Miss Lin, Zhang Hong could have been the way you thought." Meng Po glared at Niu Li and said slowly.
Meng Po looked at Zhang Hong, who couldn't raise his head regretfully, let go of the cow and pulled him aside, then looked at Lin Shiyao and sighed: "That year, Zhang Hong had already become famous all over the world, and turned the tide and made great contributions to the prince's birth and death, and sat directly at the position of the national master. He was full of energy. After the prince ascended the throne, he first advised the emperor to pardon the world and release those loyal and righteous people who were wrongly imprisoned..."
Lin Shiyao nodded and said, "Otherwise, I can't live without the death cell." Niu Li snorted and curled his lips: "Miss Shiyao, you really should stay in the cell, otherwise why would you die without understanding..." Meng Po ignored Niu Li and then explained to Lin Shiyao: "Then Zhang Hong rushed to Hejian Mansion to welcome you brothers and sisters to the capital to meet the saint. It's a pity that a heavy rain delayed Zhang Hong's itinerary and also killed you..."
Lin Shiyao looked at Zhang Hong with confusion, then looked at Meng Po and asked, "Mr. Meng Po, what do you mean by these things..." Zhang Hong did not dare to look at Lin Shiyao's eyes, and even more so, he could only press his head down. Meng Po smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Miss Lin, think about it carefully, what is Zhang Hong doing these things for?"
Before Lin Shiyao could figure out what was going on, Niu Li suddenly realized and said, "So from that day on, Zhang Hong's mind and nature have changed drastically? But now I think that this cannot be blamed on Zhang Hong... I think so, although Master Zhang was less than 30 years old, he had great martial arts skills and had great power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world!"
Seeing that Lin Shiyao was still confused, Niu Li could only explain to her with a smile: "According to what Meng Po said, after the general amnesty of the world, he thought he could save you brothers and sisters from the sea of suffering. From then on, the couple had a grudge, a family of wealth and a family of children and grandchildren... But in the end, what was waiting for him was just a lonely and nameless tomb... Oh, even if I were me, I would have hated the heavens and resented the earth and fell into the devil's way!"
Zhang Hong raised his head in regret, looked at Lin Shiyao's smile and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wei Yuhou said nothing wrong. Since then, Zhang Hong is no longer the Zhang Hong you imagined. Zhang's world was shattered by the heavy rain that day... Haha, I practiced martial arts hard, climbed to a high position through life and death, but failed to save Zhang Hong's beloved girl... Then I couldn't stand others' goodness and liked to ruin others' good things the most. Even if I encounter pairs of wild beasts and birds, I had to kill one to feel happy... Zhang knew that he was deeply trapped in the devil's way, so he was ranked in the immortal class by any means. I thought that if I became a god, I could find you again, but... but in the end it was counterproductive..."
Lin Shiyao looked at Zhang Hong blankly, and after a while, he shook his head vigorously: "How could this happen? Impossible, impossible! I don't believe it... Lord Zhang must have never seen me..." Zhang Hong took a deep breath, then lowered his head with a little embarrassed look and said in an almost inaudible voice: "You have actually seen me... Although you only saw me at one glance, I have seen you countless times..."
Niu Li suddenly became interested and stood in front of Zhang Hong and asked, "What? What's wrong with you? Let me explain it clearly." Zhang Hong looked at Lin Shiyao's feet and continued, "Don't urge me to listen to Zhang slowly. Miss Lin, you were only fourteen years old that year, which happened to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. At that time, you were leaning against the corner to read a book. Zhang and several colleagues went to prison to do something. When you passed by your cell, you looked up... and looked up at me..."
Lin Shiyao looked at Zhang Hong with a comprehension, but Niu Li urged excitedly: "Oh?! Then, what? You won't fall in love with Miss Lin at first sight, right? But they were not yet in the hairpin at that time (the girl was fifteen years old, called the hairpin)! Zhang Hong, you are really a beast in clothes!" Zhang Hong frowned and looked at Niu Li with some embarrassment and tightened his lips.
