Chapter 39: The Arrival of Purgatory

"Come on!" Yu Zhengfang closed his eyes and smiled, as if he couldn't wait.

He remembered the burning and flaming ships on the ferry, as well as the innocent lives swallowed by the sea of fire.

He thought that such a death could give himself some peace of mind, which was a kind of atonement.

If you live in the world, you will only be trapped by the sins you planted that day for the rest of your life.

Jiang Shengtian held a dagger and became a tearful man.

The dagger in his hand was almost loose, and he shook his head vigorously, but the urgent pleading gaze in Yu Zhengfang's eyes made it impossible for him to drop the dagger.

It's better to sacrifice one person and save one person than two people to die together.

But Jiang Shengtian has never killed anyone. Now he kills his friend for the first time.

A gap was exposed in the wooden door. Li Linfu and Ye Zhihang were peeping at their every move in the secret room through the crack of the door. Only they could not hear their words clearly, but they could also see Jiang Shengtian's hesitation.

"If he can really change his soft heart and make a ruthless heart, he can continue to help me." Li Linfu narrowed his eyes and said his intention. He forced Jiang Sheng to kill Yu Zhengfang in the world to see if he could really be ruthless.

If you can do it, you can keep him by your side. If you can't do it, you can only deal with him according to the way he treats the traitor.

Jiang Shengtian took several breaths of cold air continuously and closed his eyes. He didn't know how much time he had passed in this secret room.

seems to be a very long time.

"Quick!" Yu Zhengfang suddenly shouted, like a sound of a Thunderbolt, penetrating into Jiang Shengtian's head, making him subconsciously suddenly open his eyes, as if frightened. In response to Yu Zhengfang's shouting, the dagger in his hand poked straight forward.

Han Feng entered the skin, and blood kept pouring out of the gap.

Jiang Shengtian stopped like an ice sculpture, but the blood in his hand was hot.

He trembled his lips and looked at Yu Zhengfang's eyes. He did not hum, and his eyes were a relieved smile.

Finally, he looked at Jiang Shengtian, slowly closed his eyes.

His head hung down lifelessly.

Puff!

Jiang Shengtian knelt on the ground. He wanted to look up to the sky and howl. He found that he had no longer had this strength, so he had to bow his head and sobb.

His hand loosened softly.

"Good!" Li Linfu applauded and walked down with a smile. Ye Zhihang stared coldly at Jiang Shengtian, who was kneeling on the ground in pain, and was faintly unwilling.

Jiang Shengtian ignored them and just watched his tears splash on the ground drop by drop.

Ye Zhihang walked to Yu Zhengfang's corpse and looked at it carefully to make sure that he had died. Then he walked back to Li Linfu and nodded to him.

Li Linfu brushed his long beard, hummed with satisfaction, and said to Jiang Shengtian, who was still immersed in grief, "Since you have completed my first request, let me tell you about my second request."

Jiang Shengtian turned his head and met Li Linfu's cunning eyes.

"There is a lesson from the past. In order to prevent you from betraying me again, you have to take the 'Twelve Broken Soul Pills'." Li Linfu wink at Ye Zhihang. Ye Zhihang took out a pill wrapped in white cloth from his gray sleeve and handed it to Li Linfu.

Li Linfu untied the white cloth, revealing a black pill the size of half a fist, and the smile in his eyes was thicker and more treacherous.

Once this 'Twelve Broken Soul Pill' is taken, you have to take the antidote every 12 hours, otherwise your intestines will pierce and die. As long as you do things for me peacefully, I will give you the antidote on time. Li Linfu handed over the twelve broken soul pills back to Ye Zhihang. Ye Zhihang approached Jiang Shengtian's side. At this time, Jiang Shengtian was extremely weak and had no resistance. He let Ye Zhihang stuff this strange and vicious pill into his mouth. Ye Zhihang lifted his head stiffly and made a sound, and the twelve broken soul pills followed his throat. The throat was swallowed into the stomach.

Jiang Shengtian's eyes were expressionless. Li Linfu finally looked at him and left a sentence: "You have completed both requirements. Naturally, you will not repeat your words. Just wait to be my son-in-law of Li Linfu."

Li Linfu left the secret room contentedly, and Ye Zhihang followed him. Li Linfu thought that there were twelve broken soul pills in front of him. After he officially became his son-in-law, Jiang Shengtian was even more helpless to do things for him. Li Linfu thought that he had accepted Jiang Shengtian and couldn't help smiling happily.

In the secret room, Jiang Shengtian gradually stood up.

The twelve broken soul pills are suitable for taking, and there is no strange feeling on the body. At this time, there is only an uncontrollable pain, which rises from the heart and is endless.

Looking at the body of Yu Zhengfang in front of him, he has just stepped into this secret room as if he had come to purgatory.

This is the most terrible time of his life.

The camouflage, perseverance and profoundness exercised in the past have all turned into dust and dispersed with the wind.

For a long time, he muttered a few times to the corpse of Yu Zhengfang before walking out of the secret room.

"Wait for me."

Jiang Shengtian has never felt that the air outside is so fresh, as if he had just learned to breathe.

He walked to Li Yinru's room to inform her that Li Linfu had promised to get them married as soon as possible.

He tried his best not to make his steps so heavy, as if nothing had happened, so that people could not see that he had just come out of a purgatory.

Far away, there has been a curling string sound, with continuous sad thoughts in the gentleness.

When his mind touched, Jiang Shengtian suddenly thought that how long has it been since Li Yinru hadn't played the strings?

He accelerated his pace and walked to Li Yinru's residence.

The door was open, and Sister Ping stood aside. Li Yin was like a fairy in the clouds. She plucked the strings with her bare hands, her posture was extremely beautiful, and her melody was like heaven. Her mind was all on the strings, focusing on the outside world.

Jiang Shengtian also stood quietly outside the door, so as not to add flaws to this natural fairy sound.

It was not until Miaoyin stopped and Jiang Shengtian walked in. It was not clear that Li Yinru's face was faintly sad. Then he suddenly remembered that he deliberately let Li Yinru know that Chen Rufeng would come to the prime minister's mansion to save people and taught her to serve as a hostage and strive for an opportunity to escape for them. Naturally, he inevitably let her meet Chen Rufeng.

That man has always left a deep imprint in her heart.

Since we met that night, Jiang Shengtian doesn't know what has changed in Li Yinru's heart.

Looking at the vague sadness on her face now, she still misses the old man.

Li Yinru stopped and inadvertently looked up and saw Jiang Shengtian, slightly stunned. Jiang Shengtian took her eyes and smiled reluctantly.

"Yinru." Jiang Shengtian said, but he didn't know how to take the next sentence.

Li Yinru looked at him carefully, "Your face is not too good. Are you sick?"

Jiang Shengtian was stunned and shook his head with a forced smile.

Sister Ping saw that there was a slight embarrassment on their faces, so she said to Li Yinru, "Miss, I'll go to the kitchen first to help you get the bird's nest. You can talk to Mr. Jiang slowly."

Li Yinru nodded, and Sister Ping walked out of the room.

After a moment of silence, both of them vaguely felt involuntary. Jiang Shengtian looked around randomly and said casually, "Your father promised to marry you to me."

"Oh." Li Yinru answered faintly, and could not hear whether it was joy or sorrow.

When Jiang Shengtian saw that she didn't react much to this, he thought** and said, "If you don't want to..."

"How can I not want to?" Li Yinru's hand gently stroked the strings, and a pair of beautiful eyes flowed like water waves.

Her tone means that everything goes with the situation.

"The person she really looks for is never you." A faint voice appeared in Jiang Shengtian's heart and stung him like a needle.

Jiang Shengtian seemed to want to say something. He opened his mouth to stop talking, but when he came to his mouth, the words became, "Have a good rest."

Li Yinru's hand touched a string and made a "dong" sound like falling into the clear water.

There was a trace of sadness in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth smiled again.

"Hmm." She simply answered a word.

Jiang Shengtian turned around and started slowly.

The footsteps of leaving suddenly stopped, and Li Yinru looked at his back.

"I haven't heard your piano for a long time." Jiang Shengtian added the last sentence with a smile.

Li Yinru smiled and said, "If you want to hear it, I can play it for you every day in the future."

Jiang Shengtian's body shook slightly and said nothing more.

Li Yinru looked at his back and slid down a tear silently from the corners of his eyes.

The flowers are as fragrant as before.

Liuxinyuan, Jiang Shengtian stopped at the window, but was blocked by the wall and could not see the scenery outside.

There are only leaves and trees, and the garden that has not been looked after for a long time.

The opposite was originally Ding Yu's residence, and I don't know how long it has been vacant. I remember that there were still three people living in Liuxinyuan that day, and now Jiang Shengtian is the only one left.

Looking at the red sunset, Yu Zheng's face seemed to appear with the clouds. He adjusted the straw hat on his head and looked at him with a smile.

If he is by his side at this moment, he should teach him how to deal with this situation and how to regain Li Yinru's heart.

With a sad smile, there was a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen.

It seemed that there were countless sharp knives twisting his internal organs. He fell to the ground in pain and his face turned white.

He held the window sill with one hand, and his nails were almost embedded. He subconsciously wanted to ask for help, and all he could make was a muffled hum.

The scenery in front of him gradually became cloudy, and the footsteps outside the door faintly reached my ears.

Someone opened the door and came in, but Jiang Shengtian didn't know who it was. He only felt that he was caught by the head, and then opened his mouth and was forcibly stuffed into something.

As soon as something like that enters the stomach, it enters the body like a sweet spring, washing away the pain just now.

"This is the taste of not taking the antidote of the 'Twelve Broken Soul Pills' on time." Li Linfu's cunning voice sounded in his ear.

His vision gradually became clear, and he lay weakly on the ground. Ye Zhihang and Li Linfu were looking at him like two staring beasts.

The real purgatory has just begun.
