Chapter 509 When I am happy, I can be a good person
night.
Dai Viet Royal Palace.
The palace lanterns in the four corners of the Zhaohe Hall, which is closest to the Imperial Medical Bureau, are always lit.
The light inside the hall is soft and bright.
In such a huge palace, there was only a long low table in the middle, on which was a pot of sake and three wine glasses.
There are two people sitting next to him.
The young man in dragon robe was handsome, with sharp features, cold eyes and stern eyebrows, and his every move was graceful.
The young man with a jade crown and tied hair was wearing a dark blue robe. He was handsome and refined, as elegant as an orchid. He lowered his eyes and remained silent, with a cold and aloof temperament.
The two men were of similar age, both around twenty-five or twenty-six.
A faint smell of alcohol hung in the air. The bright palace was empty, and the silence gave it a sense of loneliness.
Time passed quietly in silence. When the moon reached the zenith, a wind suddenly blew outside the hall, blowing the hanging gauze inside.
The two people who were drinking in silence both raised their eyes and looked outside.
In the misty dark night, a black shadow came riding on the wind and stepping on the moon. The dark red robe with hidden patterns danced in the wind, like a fleeting light under the moon. Its temperament and elegance made the moonlight look inferior.
A black shadow landed in front of the hall, its black satin brocade shoes light and soundless as they stepped on the ground.
He stepped into the hall, and the halo of the palace lights drove the shadow cast on him upwards little by little, finally revealing his charming face.
Long feather eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, straight nose and thin lips, combined with perfectly lined pale skin, make him handsome and charming.
The poisonous Lycoris radiata, which seems to be blooming on the other side of the underworld, fascinates people at first sight, but kills anyone who comes into contact with it.
"Bai Yu." The young man in the jade crown moved his lips and called out softly, his voice hoarse, "You're late."
"One quarter past midnight, the time is just right. You've been waiting too long." Bai Yu sat down at the side of the long table, leaning against it, pouring wine from the pot. His voice was casual, "Su Wen, you're becoming more and more boring."
"Yet you, as always, go your own way." Wei Li pursed his lips and slowly pushed the jade medicine bottle placed on the corner of the long table towards him. "This is the Luanwu you asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare. I have no experience in medicine, but I asked the Imperial Physician, and he said this medicine can make anyone who touches it violent and arouse hostility."
His dark eyes were deep, fixed on the man across from him, who was smiling nonchalantly with his lips raised. "Bai Yu, this is already the sixth time you've adjusted the ratio of 'Rampage'. This means you haven't achieved the desired effect yet... What exactly do you want to do?"
"Wei Li, we agreed that we would each do our own thing. I wouldn't ask you any questions, and you wouldn't ask me any questions. Have you forgotten that?" Bai Yu slowly raised his eyes, his evil aura emanating from him with a single raised eyebrow. "I didn't drag Dayue and Xiling down with me, so who are you worried about?"
"Bai Yu! You know that's not what I meant. In the past two years, you've been acting more and more crazily and ruthlessly, forcing the other nations into a corner. A desperate dog will eventually jump over the wall. I'm worried that you'll be retaliated against! Not only am I worried, but your parents, your husband, Uncle Bai, and the others—"
Ka——
The sound of a wine glass being put down on the table interrupted Wei Li's subsequent words.
Bai Yu lowered his eyes, twirling the wine glass playfully with his fingertips. "Don't lecture me, Wei Li. I haven't just been acting crazy and ruthless today. I've always been like this."
He raised his eyes again to look at Wei Li, raised his lips and chuckled softly, the smile in his eyes was both joyful and cold, "It's just that when I'm happy, I can be a good person. I'm not happy now, and that's what I'm like now."
Wei Li's teeth clenched, his hands clenched into fists. A sense of powerlessness and defeat permeated his entire body. He spoke with difficulty, "I know you want to avenge Tianbao. I do, too, and I'm doing it. But revenge doesn't mean bloodlust... Bai Yu, you've become possessed, don't you know? Those civilians displaced by the war are innocent."
When he mentioned the word "Tianbao", the smile on the man's face disappeared, his evil eyes were sinister and cold, "Innocent? In all the countries, whether it's Dongpu, Beixiang, or Nansang! When the rulers of any country want to kill Tianbao, they use the excuse of doing so for their own people! But when have those people ever had anything to do with Tianbao?! You blame me for disregarding the innocent today? Hahahaha... Other people's people are innocent, but what about Tianbao? Who will pity Tianbao's innocence?"
He swept his sleeve across the jade medicine bottle, stood up from the table, and walked out without looking back. "We're not on the same page, so I'm leaving."
"If Tianbao were still here, she would never want to see you become like this!" Wei Li's hands were shaking as he looked at the man's back as he walked away, his eyes filled with grief.
Outside the hall, a man's voice, somewhat disembodied, came faintly, "Is that so? Then ask her to come find me and tell me in person. I'll be waiting."
The man's figure disappeared in the dark night outside the hall in an instant.
Wei Li's clenched fists suddenly loosened, and his shoulders and back slumped, becoming dejected and powerless.
His eyes were unfocused, and he raised his lips as if crying and laughing, "How can I let her come to you? I want to see her too..."
"Your Majesty, since there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave first." Su Wen stood up and bowed politely, then walked out.
"Su Wen, do you also think that what I just said is wrong?"
"Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand me. I simply harbor an unresolved hatred. If I continue to stay, I would be inappropriate."
We gather for a moment and then disperse in the blink of an eye.
Most of the wine on the long table was gone, but they talked less and drank more.
Wei Li covered his eyes with one hand, and his low laughter echoed in the empty palace.
That's what happened.
That's what happened.
There's no going back to the way it was.
The first tea house in the west of Chang'an City, Wangque Tower is dark.
Bai Yu walked into the backyard of the teahouse, and was immediately greeted by a black-clad shadow guard, "Master!"
"To the secret room."
"yes!"
There was a wall lamp hanging in the secret room, the light was dim and yellow, and six iron men were locked in a corner of the secret room.
Bai Yu opened the jade medicine bottle, dipped the brush into the ointment in the bottle, and brushed it on the iron man's head and neck one by one.
He stepped back a few steps and watched the iron men go from calm to anxious, then to violent, and finally to biting each other madly because their hands and feet were tied and they could not move.
His expression remained cold and indifferent, without a trace of emotion.
"Record the duration of the berserk and report back to me in three months." He threw the medicine bottle to the shadow guard and left the secret room after giving the order.
The shadow guard followed him, "My Lord, are you going out to sea again?"
In the past two years, the master always goes out to sea once every August and September, and the round trip takes three months.
The man didn't answer and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Half an hour later, a luxury passenger ship slowly left the shore at the dock outside the city.
At this time, on a small island thousands of miles away in the open sea, Du Lao Tou and Tian Bao were squatting in the dark in the south of the island, preparing to make a big move.
Ahead of them was the pirate settlement, where life at night was particularly exciting.
Some were drinking, some were sharpening their knives, and some were discussing how to seek revenge in the small fishing village in the northwest.
"You bunch of idiots, where are the good stuff hidden? How about Grandpa go down and find out for himself?"
"No need, just ask them directly."
"I understand. We'll beat them until they talk. Then what are we squatting here for? There are so many flies and mosquitoes in this grass nest. Are we going to sacrifice ourselves to feed them?"
Tian Bao frowned and looked at the old man, "You are the one who made me squat here."
“…” Nonsense, there’s no way the old man would do such a stupid thing!
