Chapter 404: Life on the Line (1)

After the court meeting the next day, Liu Jing immediately changed into casual clothes, put on a dark old fur coat, and rode alone to the thatched cottage on the outskirts of the city. For fear of being disturbed unexpectedly yesterday, Taoist Master Mie Xuan had already left Yudu with his disciples.

Fortunately, when I arrived at the thatched cottage, I saw that there was still smoke curling up from the roof. A layer of white snow on the roof seemed to have melted from the warmth inside the house, and was falling along the thatch on the dead leaves outside the house.

After tying Juechen to the old tree, Liu Jing stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, saying respectfully: "Junior Liu Jing, today I have come to harass the Taoist Priest Qingxiu again. I hope the Taoist Master can clear up my doubts for this junior."

After saying this, two piano sounds came from the room, seeming to say the word "please come in".

Liu Jing did not dare to open the door without permission and waited for a while. Xue Fan opened the door for him, led him to sit on the futon arranged for him yesterday, pushed the brazier to his side and said: "Your Highness, please."

Liu Jing bowed to Taoist Master Mie Xuan, then sat down on the futon in full clothes. Liu Rong pretended to be an old man and sat quietly behind the bamboo curtain like yesterday, with his ten fingers on the lyre, and he was only seven steps away from him through the bamboo curtain.

's brother.

Before the sound of the piano sounded, Liu Jing said: "It is disrespectful for me to come here uninvited. Thank you very much for allowing me to come here..." Before he could finish his words, the music of the piano started.

Liu Jing paused and said, "Thank you so much, Taoist Master," and then turned to Xue Fan, who was standing aside, and said, "Thank you also, young gentleman."

Xue Fan understood, smiled and said to Liu Jing: "I am going to the city to buy some food. If your highness has anything to say, please tell my master."

Just as Xue Fan was about to open the door and leave, Liu Jing turned around and said to him, "Young gentleman, you can ride my white horse into the city. It's all convenient."

Xue Fan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It would be best for me to ride on my own little donkey." After that, he opened the door and left.

During the conversation between the two, the sound of the piano continued, and the melody was steady and soothing. Liu Jing did not know how much of what he said would be heard by Taoist Miexuan, who had been concentrating on playing the piano. He thought, in fact, the less the better.

The clear sound of the piano moisturizes the ears, just like mountain spring water moistens the throat, and it is like the mellow wine stored in a cellar to moisturize the heart.

Liu Jing breathed a long sigh of relief and mustered up the courage to say: "Juniors have many things to say, but no one can say them. Although I have only a few friends with the Taoist priest, I heard that the Taoist priest has outstanding piano skills and extraordinary music. He is really a master from this world, so he came boldly."

To disturb the Taoist, I want to pour out all my worldly worries to the sound of the Taoist’s piano!"

As Liu Jing spoke, she looked at the old man's fingers plucking the strings. At this moment, she stopped talking and looked up at the old man. She saw that he was playing with his eyes closed and expressionless, as if he was completely immersed in the music, as if he was immersed in the music.

Due to his current state, he immediately felt a bit close to this Mie Xuan Dao Immortal.

Liu Rong's music did not pause at all. He heard that the King of Song loved the piano, and he knew that he could only have friendship with him if he liked him.

In the sound of the piano, Liu Jing whispered——

"In the hearts of the younger generation... there is guilt, resentment, and many questions that cannot be answered in this life, so there is also hatred and regret.

In the eyes of others, this junior may be a competent King of Song, but I... I actually don't want to be the King of Song at all! What is my relationship with the Song Kingdom, only I know now.

The title of King of Song Dynasty imprisoned me for more than twenty years. After knowing my life experience, I often thought, what is the difference between me and the prisoners in the prison who never see the light of day?

In the past twenty years, I have done many things against my will. I have always remembered these things in my heart, always regretted them, always felt guilty, and always hated myself. Every thing I did was attributed to the abominable position of the King of Song Dynasty.

He was forced to do it on me!

I didn't know that Song State had a grudge against me for killing my father and mother, and I didn't know that I had been being used by Song State, so I did something I didn't want to do. At least I could shift the responsibility to the identity of the king of Song State.

, to make myself feel better. Until I saw with my own eyes... the 'grandma' I had always respected and loved actually killed my mother, and who was my biological father? They still insisted that it was King Huai of Song Dynasty until their death.

!

I'm not afraid to tell the Taoist priest about this matter, because even if the Taoist priest tells others, no one will believe it. After all, even I can't believe such a secret in the palace!

They tried their best to keep the old events nearly thirty years ago secret, and they have been unable to investigate them for a long time. So this junior... is just a confused person who doesn't even know his last name!"

The sound of the piano was long and melodious, harmonizing with the chirping of birds in the forest. The words of the King of Song seemed to have no impact on the person playing the piano. Only Liu Rong himself knew how many notes he had to slow down when plucking the strings.

"If I were to list the past events in detail, the first guilt I felt was for Shu'er. In fact, almost all the guilt I felt was for her. Apart from her, it was for those who lost their lives to me.

God always plays tricks on me, letting me lose the person I love most in this life, and letting us meet without knowing each other. Finally, we reunited, and I actually saw her covered with bruises with my own eyes!

I thought I could heal her injuries, I thought I could give her the best compensation and the best love in the world, but she didn’t need it at all. I knew she once had me in her heart. She had been drifting away for so many years.

Looking at the beads I gave her, she must have hoped that I could find her! But what about me? In those years, I never left Yudu!

We didn't recognize each other when we met, we didn't recognize each other when we met... It's all my fault that we didn't recognize each other when we met! I actually let the person I love the most in this life eat my wedding wine with someone else! And she recognized me at that time and said to me with tears in her eyes, "I have seen you."

Gentleman, Yunhu is not happy', but I didn't understand it at all! Looking back now, she gave me so many hints, but I didn't recognize her. She must have been very angry and disappointed, so she made a big fuss at my wedding banquet.

If it were anyone else, I would definitely not be lenient. But it was her! I actually hoped that she would make a bigger fuss, the better! Why didn’t she just kidnap me out of the White Jade Palace that day? If I had left with her that day, I would have done nothing wrong.

So many things.

For the sake of King Song's responsibility, I did not go to find her in person. For the sake of King Song's responsibility, I did not leave the White Jade Palace with her. I used to be proud of my due diligence, but now I am ashamed of this responsibility.

Later, I saved her life in the Heavenly Prison, but what the world didn’t know was that she actually saved my life in the White Jade Palace. She knew she would never be able to go back to the past, but she still saved me. She was the one who saved me.

It went against her mother's wishes and her husband's wishes. But she risked the world's injustice to save me, but in the end, I still shouldered the responsibility of the King of Song and hurt her again and again.

In Peerless Peak, I used Lin Ying's strategy and forced her husband and her adoptive father to death. In Luweidang, I allowed the guards to kill Lin Ying. Lin Ying has been with her since she was a child, regardless of whether there is a relationship between a man and a woman...

She doesn’t even want me to die, someone who hasn’t given her much companionship. You can imagine how sad she would be if they all died one by one! How much she would want to kill me!

But she never killed me. Even though she stabbed my chest with a knife, she didn't stab my heart with one knife. Maybe deep down in her heart, she still didn't want me to die. Just because of this hope,

I can barely hold on until now.

When we met in the reed swamp, I brought Yuxi to the appointment, just to give up the entire Song Dynasty, so that she could fly away with me. But Lin Ying was hit by a sword on my boat, and she didn't even look at me.

How can I make her forgive me?

She didn't want to hear anything I said and wouldn't believe it. She didn't reply to so many letters. Her only reply was to ask Dongfang Sui to lead troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

It was the State of Song that caused me to do this, and it was also the State of Song that caused her to do this.

It is reasonable to attack the Song Dynasty.

Why give in? Why don’t we destroy this troublesome Song State! Help her, and help me too."

At this point, Liu Jing had already shed tears.

"But... the plague is raging in the army. I hate the Song Kingdom so much. I could have used this plague to destroy the Song Kingdom, but I... I can't do that. The King of Song has injured and killed too many innocent people, and I don't want to do it again.

As the King of Song Dynasty, I don’t want to be a heinous person.

As a human being, I am ashamed of myself for thinking of such cruel things as destroying the Song Dynasty with plague, venting my selfish desires, and avenging personal revenge!

I am ashamed of living in this world, ashamed of being a human being, ashamed of betraying the trust of those I love, and ashamed of the jealousy I once felt and the desire to kill yesterday."

The sound of the piano is still warm and gentle.
