"Wait!" Duan Ling said immediately.
Except for Lang Junxia, everyone in the room looked at Duan Ling, and everyone knew there would be such a sound.
On the golden glow of purple electricity, Lang Junxia's eyes were reflected.
"Let's spare his life for now." Duan Ling said.
Not long after he reunited with Li Yanqiu's uncle and nephew, Duan Ling disobeyed the king's will. He looked at Li Yanqiu nervously, but Li Yanqiu seemed to have expected it.
"What are you doing for him?" Li Yanqiu said, "Let him take the blame and make merit? Didn't you see that he didn't care about it, just wanted to die quickly?"
Duan Ling kept begging in his heart, hoping that Lang Junxia would beg for mercy. Lang Junxia didn't say a word, just knelt on the ground quietly, pressing the Zidian Jinmang with his fingers.
Say it! You said that you deserve the crime and meritorious deeds, otherwise how will you spare your life
"I don't want to kill him yet." Finally, Duan Ling said helplessly.
"But I want to kill him." Li Yanqiu said, "Emperor, if you want to spare his life, you need to give him a reason."
Everyone present knew that Lang Junxia was guilty of inexcusable crimes. Even if he escaped in front of Li Yanqiu today, he would be executed by the ministers when he returned to Jiangzhou. This is not only a crime of deceiving the king, he also regards the civil and military affairs of the Great Chen Manchao as nothing!
"You have made meritorious deeds." Duan Ling's voice had already started to tremble, and said, "Wuluohoumu, look back, at least I won't kill you now."
"His Royal Highness has given you a chance to reform." Li Yanqiu said coldly, "You must give him a step down, Wuluohoumu, otherwise if this matter spreads out, you will be dead a hundred times over. Teach the Crown Prince how to look up and be a human being?"
Duan Ling felt that Li Yanqiu was angry. When he was angry, he used this sarcastic tone, calm but terrifying.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace." Lang Junxia replied, "Criminal Wuluohou Mu Ding has rehabilitated and become a new man."
When Duan Ling heard this sentence, a big stone fell to the ground. Li Yanqiu didn't say a word, he turned around and walked out the door, Duan Ling hurriedly chased after a few steps, Zheng Yan put away Zidian Jinmang, and also caught up.
Duan Ling looked back at Wu Du again, with anxiety in his expression.
Wu Du's expression remained unchanged, standing in front of Duan Ling, and made a gesture for him to chase after Li Yanqiu.
Duan Ling really didn't know what to do. He was indecisive, and when he kept breaking, he was hurt. These words rolled back and forth in his mind several times.
"Not catching up yet?" Wu Du urged.
"I... okay." Duan Ling sighed and looked at Wu Du guiltily. Li Yanqiu was nothing but Wu Du who protected him the most. When Duan Ling called out "Wait", it was purely an instinctive impulse. Now that I think about it, Wu Du was the one who had the most reason to be angry.
"Don't talk about it." Wu Du didn't want to hear Duan Ling's laborious explanation at all, but with a smile in his eyes, he said to Duan Ling, "I'm not angry, you go."
Duan Ling was like a child who did something wrong, and Wu Du said, "I'm really not angry."
"Then I'll go to the fourth uncle first."
Duan Ling had no choice but to turn to look for Li Yanqiu. Wu Du watched him leave, and suddenly laughed. He pulled out his light sword, turned his wrist, played back and forth twice, pushed open the door, and entered Lang Junxia's room again.
Lang Junxia was sitting on the couch pondering, but he didn't expect Wu Du to come back, still holding a sword in his hand.
Wu Du slightly pressed his sword against Lang Junxia's chin, causing him to raise his head.
"Why is there silence and annihilation on him?" Wu Du asked in a deep voice.
Lang Junxia replied, "I lost a long time ago, and I lost completely. What's the point of investigating the effect of blind medicine?"
Wu Du frowned slightly, and Lang Junxia said again, "I advise you, it's better to be careful, sometimes, dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry."
Wu Du looked at Lang Junxia for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?"
Lang Junxia didn't answer.
"Your place in his heart is gone." Wu Du said, "The moment you beg for mercy, you lose."
"You are just lucky." Lang Junxia replied, "You picked him up, not someone else."
"You're just lucky." Wu Du said, "You picked him up first."
Said that Bi Wu had put his sword into the sheath, turned and left.
Duan Ling followed Li Yanqiu into the hall. Li Yanqiu sat in the hall. Duan Ling was uneasy for a moment, remembering how he sometimes made his father angry when he was a child, so he went to the couch and carefully pulled Li Yanqiu's sleeve.
"This is the first time you have spared his life?" Li Yanqiu looked sideways at Duan Ling, "This fellow has put you in the current situation, why should you let him go?"
"I... can't watch him die." Duan Ling replied helplessly, "Even if it's a dog, it has feelings. I shouldn't compare him to a dog, but..."
"The domestic dog won't bite you." Li Yanqiu said, "It won't poison you and throw you into the river."
Duan Ling replied: "Perhaps he also wanted to save my life. If he really wanted to kill me, why didn't he kill me with a sword in front of Cai Yan? Why did he take so much effort to poison me?"
Li Yanqiu said: "Then you would rather believe that he is trying to hide from the sky and save your life? There is such a big grievance, why don't you say it?"
Duan Ling realized that dealing with Li Yanqiu and saying that favors would not work, unless he came up with a reason.
"He never said anything." Duan Ling replied, "He didn't want to say anything from the beginning. He betrayed my father three times, and my father still believed him, so... I think there is something that I don't understand. place, you cannot give him death."
Li Yanqiu replied, "That's because your father was unavailable back then."
"Because no one is available, do you entrust your son's life to someone who may betray him at any time?" Duan Ling said, "If it were me, I would rather not let anyone pick it up, and I would not do it."
"Then what do you say?" Li Yanqiu asked simply.
Duan Ling knew that he was facing a difficult test given by Li Yanqiu—how to deal with Lang Junxia. He must give reasons that convince everyone in order to keep Lang Junxia's life.
After all, the prince of a country must not act according to his own preferences. Otherwise, how will he manage this country in the future, so that the people of the world will be convinced? Looking at Li Yanqiu's eyes, the uncle and nephew both knew each other well, this was a problem Duan Ling had to face.
Duan Ling was a little sad and sighed.
"If your father is alive." Li Yanqiu's tone softened and said, "If you don't ask you that, with his temper, you must do whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you kill him, it doesn't matter if you keep him alive. But he is him, the fourth uncle is the fourth uncle, Huang'er, the fourth uncle is not forcing you to do anything, but he doesn't want you to regret it in the future, watching something happen, but unable to undo it."
"I understand." Duan Ling said, "Take him back in the future, and the court will pronounce the sentence, and punish whatever crime should be punished."
Li Yanqiu's expression softened a little, and he said, "In two days, I think I have to go back."
"Fourth Uncle." Although Duan Ling really didn't want to part with Li Yanqiu, he was afraid that Li Yanqiu would never go back, Mu Kuangda and Cai Yan didn't know what was going to happen.
"You must go back." Duan Ling thought for a while and said.
Li Yanqiu pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Emperor." Li Yanqiu said, "After the spring, everything will stop for a while. You must go back to Jiangzhou to report your work, otherwise I will be even more worried."
Duan Ling agreed, and the uncle and nephew sat facing each other for a long time that day. Duan Ling informed Li Yanqiu about Mu Kuangda's arrangement. Considering his uncle's face, Duan Ling did not dare to make Wu Du's speculation too clear. No matter how close the relationship is, it shouldn't be said casually.
Duan Ling only repeatedly hinted that Mu Kuangda and Mu Jinzhi had colluded. After confirming that Li Yanqiu understood, Fang felt relieved.
Li Yanqiu replied: "Now that there is Xie You in the palace, the two brothers and sisters can't find any trouble. You don't have to worry about that."
This is the twelfth day that Li Yanqiu came to Yecheng. Seeing that the coldest time of winter will come, in half a month, the northern official road will be closed. If Li Yanqiu does not go back, he will really have to spend the winter in Yecheng. .
The two agreed that Li Yanqiu would leave for tomorrow. That night, Li Yanqiu asked Duan Ling to accompany him to sleep for one night. When he returns to the DPRK next year, he may not have this opportunity.
That night, the uncle and nephew slept together, still talking, and couldn't sleep for a while. Duan Ling turned sideways, pillowed his hand, and looked at the profile of his uncle,
Li Yanqiu is gentle and elegant, different from his father's heroic spirit who has been fighting all year round. He has a kind of restrained majesty, even when his eyes are closed, it makes people unconsciously hold their breath.
The uncle has no children, it has been so many years, the courtiers can't ignore it, and Li Yanqiu doesn't know it himself, Duan Ling thinks it's enough to talk about it here. With just a few words from each other, Duan Ling felt that Li Yanqiu probably didn't like Queen Mu Jinzhi at all.
"Huang'er, what do you think of the queen?" Li Yanqiu asked Duan Ling with his eyes closed.
"It's good." Duan Ling did not taste Mu Jinzhi's target with his limited contacts, perhaps because he was with Muqing.
"Does the fourth uncle want a concubine?" Duan Ling asked.
"No." Li Yanqiu said, "It's enough to have one of you, still alive?"
Since ancient times, there have been too many heirs to the emperor's family, and there is always no good end. Not to mention self-harm, but also implicate the courtiers in the line. But Duan Ling really hoped that Li Yanqiu would have a child, whether it was a prince or a princess, the palace would definitely be more lively, and it would be too lonely for my uncle to be like this now.
Of course, from a selfish point of view, if Li Yanqiu had a son, Duan Ling would not have to worry about it. When he was the heir for a period of time, when he ascended the throne in the future, he could make Li Yanqiu's son the crown prince, and he was happy to go out with Wu Du.
"If there are children, the palace will be more lively." Duan Ling said.
"I want to give birth to you." Li Yanqiu frowned slightly and replied, "I want to give birth to a few. The fourth uncle will bring it to you."
Duan Ling felt a thud in his heart. An ordinary 13- or 14-year-old boy would say that he would be hired personally. When his father came back to his side, he also specifically asked, "Is there any girl I like?" In case Li Yanqiu's next sentence was " When I go back, I should also tell you about the marriage." So what should I do
