[forty three]
Zhou Rongyun said: "When I was young, he whipped me with a horsewhip."
Li Ke calmed down and said: "It all happened when I was a child..."
Zhou Rongyun said: "Later, his mother planned to drown my own brother."
"..."
Zhou Rongyun said: "Before his mother died, he poisoned my mother."
"..."
Li Kedao: "There is an injustice and a debtor..."
Zhou Rongyun said: "Then he killed my best friend."
"..."
[Forty-four]
Li Ke bit the bullet and said: "Even so, killing innocent people indiscriminately is not good. He will not be the only one eating fish at the banquet, and many people will be poisoned to death."
Zhou Rongqi said, "I know."
Li Kedao: "After you are found out, maybe the whole house will be implicated."
Zhou Rongqi said, "I know."
"..."
Li Kedao: "Are you really anti-social? This matter can obviously be carefully planned. There must be a way not to implicate others. Maybe even you can be cleared of suspicion!"
Zhou Rongjun smiled and said, "I don't have time."
"..."
Zhou Rongyun said: "The first emperor probably noticed it a long time ago, and he ordered me to move to a remote fiefdom in Shuzhou as soon as the filial piety period is over. This is the only chance I have in my lifetime."
[forty five]
As the days passed, the feeling that Li Ke's life was not long became clearer and clearer.
Now, besides staying in the guest room and frying mushrooms, he takes Zhou Rongyu to the street from time to time. Today he wants to ride a horse, tomorrow he wants to kill him. addiction.
For some reason, Zhou Rongqi also kept letting him go.
Li Ke ordered a plate of musk-flavored duck, ate it up and said, "We have a dish called beer duck."
Zhou Rongqi asked, "What kind of wine is skin wine?"
Li Kedao: "Brewed with barley malt, the taste is a bit bitter, but it is fresh and refreshing, and it is not easy to be intoxicated. After stir-frying the duck meat with ginger and garlic, pour in soy sauce and beer, add some sugar, simmer on low heat, and collect the juice Then add chili and salt and fry for a while…”
Li Ke smacked his lips.
"..."
Li Kedao: "Give me some time, maybe I can also study the brewing method of beer. I have made great progress in cooking recently, and it is not impossible to cook beer duck."
"..."
Li Ke said: "Oh, unfortunately there is no time."
Zhou Rongzhen was silent for a moment, and said: "I can't help you."
Li Ke didn't expect him to say such a sentence, he was startled, and then sighed: "You are obviously going to die soon, and you must have many unfulfilled wishes, but you are still here hanging out with me because you are ashamed of me. stop?"
[forty-six]
Li Ke drank too much and said, "You are a good person."
Zhou Rongyun laughed and said, "Am I a good person?"
Li Ke said: "Somewhere in your conscienceless heart there must be a light of humanity that has not been extinguished. All this is a problem with the system. It is a problem with the system."
"..."
Li Ke sincerely persuaded: "Your Highness, turn around and be right."
In his drunken eyes, he seemed to see Zhou Rongji drank his glass in one gulp: "I'm too far from the shore."
[forty seven]
One day near New Year's Eve, Li Ke suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that he was really stupid before.
Why do we have to use poisonous mushrooms as shiitake mushrooms? Wouldn't it be fine to just grind it into powder and sprinkle it into the dish
It turns out that mushrooms are not so easy to grate, but cut into extremely small pieces. Li Ke held the fragment in his palm, and was about to report to Zhou Rongjun, when suddenly another flash of inspiration occurred.
Li Ke walked into the kitchen of the palace with an excuse.
He has been in and out of the kitchen during this time, and he has become very familiar with the people in it, and even the servant who was ordered to watch him gradually relaxed his vigilance.
Li Ke stood in front of the stove, looking at the steaming food in the pot.
Just sprinkle it into meals…
Half a day later, Zhou Rongjun noticed something strange, and he would not let him go.
But what if he poisoned him first, and then tricked Zhou Rongqi out of the palace to go shopping at the right time? At that time, the dark guard will also be poisoned, and it will be too late to go back to the house for help...
Li Ke stood for a long time, clenched and clenched his five fingers hidden in his sleeves, and finally did not let go.
[Forty eight]
Zhou Rongqi said: "I have carefully considered what you said."
Li Ke said: "...which sentence?"
Zhou Rongyun said: "I will swallow poisonous vegetables with the emperor at the palace banquet, and die at the same time as him. If I die myself, I can be cleared of suspicion. Even if I can't, no one will bother to embarrass the rest of the family. gone."
"..."
Li Ke said with a complicated expression: "Do you have to die?"
Zhou Rongjun laughed but said nothing.
Li Kedao: "There are still so many unseen beauty and untasteful delicacies in this world..."
Zhou Rongyun said: "When I was a child, I also thought about traveling all over the mountains and rivers in the world and watching the tides of the sea."
Li Kedao: "You went to Shuzhou, so you can enjoy the mountains and rivers!"
Zhou Rongyun said, "It's okay not to look at it."
Li Kedao: "How many people are trying their best to find a chance of survival. You obviously have a good time, but you want to ruin it for nothing..."
Zhou Rongyun said coldly: "How can you estimate the value of a big enmity?"
Li Ke said: "Do your mother and younger brother also want you to pay for your own life?"
Zhou Rongyun said: "Presumptuous!"
"..."
Li Ke really wanted to complain about this kind of refutation, but just call it "presumptuous". But Li Ke was speechless because Zhou Rongjun strangled his neck.
[forty nine]
Zhou Rongyun's hands were so strong that Li Ke couldn't move, and his face quickly turned purple.
Li Ke's lungs hurt like they were about to explode, his heart was beating uncontrollably like a drum, and layers of shadows flooded his eyes. When he was about to lose consciousness, he realized that he was actually not that afraid of death.
Probably because this life was stolen, and sooner or later it will be returned.
Zhou Rongqi suddenly let go of his hand.
Li Ke was too busy coughing, so he couldn't immediately complain about this practice of choking people without rebuttal.
Zhou Rongyun said indifferently: "After I die, maybe they won't be able to track you down. If you are lucky enough to escape, I will leave a letter for someone to send you out of the city."
"..."
Zhou Rongyun said: "Go to the mountains and play in the water. Look at the mountains, rivers and seas for me."
[Fifty]
On New Year's Eve, the palace was peaceful.
Li Ke burned out a plate of Liyuelongmen with the most delicious flavor and taste in his life, solemnly put it into a gold plate, and handed it to the dark guard.
The dark guard nodded slightly, and disappeared into the darkening twilight.
Standing in front of the mirror, Zhou Rongjun opened his arms, and someone changed into a heavy dress. He turned to Li Ke and said, "I left some silver taels for you. Let's see."
"..."
Zhou Rongyun stopped looking at him, and walked towards the door with his back straight, like a lonely sword.
"..."
Li Ke said: "Goodbye."
[fifty one]
Li Ke returned to the guest room, took out his pen and ink, and began to leave a book.
Li Ke wrote one stroke at a time:
"His Royal Highness King Yu:
"you're so dumb.
"The dish that was given to your hidden guard was not mushrooms disguised as shiitake mushrooms, but mushrooms disguised as mushrooms. I have practiced for so long, and I still managed to do this little trick.
"I also made a plate of real poisonous vegetables for myself. I ate them earlier today. After all, you are an anti-social personality, and your torture hall is so well-equipped. Although I am afraid of death, I am even more afraid of death." Before I died, I was tortured by you in a strange way. By the time you found out that you had been cheated and lost your temper, I should have cooled off peacefully.
"I calculated carefully, if you die, I may not be able to escape; if I die, you will definitely be able to live.
"I've lived my whole life, and I came here again for a visit, and I didn't leave much regret. It's just strange that those time travels in the book can do great things that change history, but I came here, but it seems that I just fired a few Hundred dishes.
"Now I'm finally consummated. You should live a good life for yourself. Believe in those who have experienced it, life is beautiful, and you will not suffer."
[fifty two]
Li Ke blew on the ink, admired it by himself, then put down his pen and walked to the window, looking at the unpolluted starry sky outside, imagining Zhou Rongjun's furious expression after discovering the truth.
Poisonous vegetables are no better than poison, he ate them long beforehand, and blew a cool breeze by the window for a long time, but there was still no response.
Seeing that Zhou Rongjun was coming back soon, Li Ke almost thought that he had smashed the signboard of the God of Dark Cooking, and when he frowned and considered other suicide methods, his stomach finally started to writhe.
Li Ke bent down, spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, and then spit out of control, unable to stop vomiting.
His vision gradually blurred, and Li Ke fell to the ground, his whole body in severe pain like being burned by fire. He felt regretful in his heart, if he knew it was such a pain, he might as well have waited to be strangled to death by Zhou Rongjun. Besides, what if Zhou Rongji's brain suddenly realized that he couldn't kill him
But it's useless to think about it now.
When Li Ke's limbs began to cramp, he heard the sound of the door opening, followed by a maid's scream.
found out...
Don't rescue me, he thought. No matter how much you toss, you can't save it, so it's justified to make up for it quickly.
In a daze, Zhou Rongjun appeared in front of his eyes.
Zhou Rongyun bent over to pick up the left book and read it, then walked up to Li Ke, knelt down and looked at him.
Li Ke said: "..."
Zhou Rongju moved closer to him.
Li Ke coughed up his blood and said, "If you're too angry, wait until I die before whipping the corpse. Anyway, this body is not mine."
"..."
[fifty three]
Zhou Rongyun said: "Do you know who Liu Wenzhong is?"
Li Ke was dying and said, "Your friend?"
Zhou Rongyun said: "Liu Wenzhong is my best friend. A gentleman's friend."
"..."
"His father was originally an important minister in the court, but he was overthrown by the new emperor in the party struggle, and he was also implicated and demoted to a commoner. The new emperor's followers were happy to do favors, and they repeatedly planned to make him poor and sick. When I find him , his time is numbered."
"..."
"That day when he came to the mansion, it was to say goodbye to me. He was still persuading me at the last moment, not to die for hatred, but to live well for the dead. Then, you came."
"..."
Zhou Rongjun looked at Li Ke who was breathing more and more quickly, as if he was about to cry, but finally smiled: "I regret it."
"..."
Li Ke said: "Oh."
Then I felt that my eyes were dark, and I couldn't breathe anymore.
[fifty-four]
Li Ke woke up.
He rolled his eyes and found himself lying on the ground. Looking up again, he saw a man in a long robe and wide sleeves sitting on a rosewood chair two steps away.
This scene, this perspective, seems familiar.
Li Ke was a little dazed, blinked his eyes for a long time, and gradually woke up.
The man rested his forehead in one hand, as if he was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes, saw Li Ke on the ground, and was taken aback for a moment.
Zhou Rongyun was surprised and said: "How could I dream..."
"..."
Zhou Rongyun looked around, looked at his hands again, frowned and said: "I clearly remember that I have passed away, and I regretted to you before I died, why did I open my eyes again, and am here?"
"..."
Zhou Rongqi said: "Isn't this the underworld? This is my palace? What year and date is it today?"
"..."
Li Ke said: "In the past two years, I have rarely seen this kind of reaction from you."
"..."
Li Ke got up slowly, and said: "Everyone usually opens their mouths and asks if they have been reborn."
"..."
[Fifty-five]
Zhou Rongqi said: "So, I am born again."
Li Ke said: "You are reborn. We are all reborn. It's just that I returned to this moment right after I died, and you were reborn after my death. It's a fate!"
"..."
Zhou Rongqi said: "It's really a predestined relationship."
Li Kedao: "So what have you experienced in your life, let's hear it?"
Zhou Rongyun fell into the memories, and said with a half smile, "A lot of interesting things happened in the world."
Li Ke's eyelids twitched in surprise when he said the word "interesting". Before he could ask carefully, Zhou Rongyun said, "Let's go, don't you want to see the mountains, rivers and seas?"
[Toxic End]
