Chapter 626: Shocking Secrets (Part )
Just these two words made Luo Tianjin's mind go blank instantly. He stood there like a wooden sculpture, motionless for a long time.
Soon, every bit of his past with the Teng tribe in western Hunan and Xiao Zhirou flashed before his eyes like flowing clouds and running water. Especially when he recalled the sweet and romantic moments he had with Xiao Zhirou under the moonlight, Luo Tianjin's pupils suddenly shrank, and an incredible yet expectant complex expression instantly filled his face.
"Liu Xunyi is your and Rou'er's biological child! Liu Xunyi is your and Rou'er's biological child! Liu Xunyi is your and Rou'er's biological child..."
Yun Zhuiyue's words were like the sound of Buddhist scriptures, echoing in Luo Tianjin's ears for a long time.
At this moment, Luo Tianjin felt dizzy and everything around him seemed like a dream, appearing and disappearing.
"hiss!"
Suddenly, Luo Tianjin took a breath of cold air, and his chaotic mind suddenly woke up. The moment he returned to reality, his face changed color and was indescribably complicated.
"You...you...what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I also hope that what I said is nonsense! I hope that what I said is nonsense more than anyone else!" Yun Zhuiyue said angrily, "But God is blind and let you, a heartless and ungrateful man, steal Rou'er's heart, and... and..."
At this point, Yun Zhuiyue seemed to recall the past humiliation, and her eyes became more sinister. Under Luo Tianjin's excited and urgent gaze, she said word by word: "And before you left Xiangxi, you made Rou'er pregnant with your child."
"boom!"
Luo Tianjin's expression froze instantly. He ignored Yun Zhuiyue's angry gaze and kept muttering to himself, "Rou'er is pregnant with my child? Rou'er is pregnant with my child?"
"If not, why would Rou'er have traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang City to find you?" Yun Zhuiyue said with contempt, "If not, why would she have jumped off a cliff out of shame and anger? If not, why would Jiang Yiwei... have let her go outside Xiangyang City?"
Yun Zhuiyue's every word helped Luo Tianjin connect all the strange things that happened in the past, and many mysteries were solved.
"It turns out that Rou'er came to Luoyang City to find me because she was pregnant with my child..."
Thinking of this, Luo Tianjin felt both ashamed and angry. He was ashamed that he knew nothing about this matter, and he was angry that Ling Xiaoxiao almost killed his most beloved woman and the child in her belly.
No wonder he always had a sense of déjà vu about Liu Xunyi, no wonder he thought Liu Xunyi was like himself when he was young, no wonder he was always so tolerant of him.
It turns out that everything is caused by the blood relationship.
Thinking of this, an irrepressible ecstasy gushed out from Luo Tianjin's heart.
"and many more!"
Suddenly, Luo Tianjin had an idea. He looked at Yun Zhuiyue doubtfully and asked hesitantly, "Why is it Liu Xunyi?"
"You finally reacted!" The anger in Yun Zhuiyue's eyes gradually turned into madness, "Why is it Liu Xunyi? In fact, you want to ask why your own son appeared in front of you as a court spy, right?"
"you……"
"I tell you this because all of this is a 'gift' I gave you, a 'gift' that I carefully prepared for more than 20 years!"
Accompanied by Yun Zhuiyue's wild laughter, he told the story of the past, which made Luo Tianjin surprised, happy, sad and angry.
What surprised him was that Xiao Zhirou not only gave birth to a son for him, but also a daughter.
He was happy that Liu Xunyi was indeed his and Xiao Zhirou's child. He thought Luo Hongxuan was half dead and the Luo family was about to be extinct, but unexpectedly a son suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only did the family have a successor, but it was also a courageous and knowledgeable person like Liu Xunyi.
What made him sad was that he owed Xiao Zhirou and her two sons so much over the years. When he thought of the suffering they had endured, Luo Tianjin felt heartbroken and wished he could stab himself a few times.
What made him angry was that Xiao Zhirou actually gave her own children to Yun Zhuiyue to raise.
What was even more intolerable was that Yun Zhuiyue treated Liu Xunyi and Yun Jianping like puppets and arranged their fates. One of them was displaced and tortured since childhood, with the purpose of killing his biological father when he grew up. As for the other, he recognized the thief as his father and took the position that should have belonged to Luo Tianjin for himself.
"Yun Zhuiyue, you are such a despicable and shameless villain!" Luo Tianjin, who suddenly realized the truth, could no longer suppress his anger. He pointed his finger at Yun Zhuiyue's face and shouted, "Not only did you make us enemies, but you almost made Xunyi violate human ethics and marry his half-sister. Yun Zhuiyue, I thought you were a man of integrity, but I didn't expect you to be a villain worse than pigs and dogs. Fortunately, I didn't give up on Rou'er back then, otherwise..."
“If you hadn’t stolen my love, how could Rou’er and I have fallen to this point today?” Yun Zhuiyue retorted, “You, me, Rou’er, as well as Liu Xunyi and Yun Jianping, all of our sufferings were caused by you!”
"Nonsense!" Luo Tianjin said angrily, "I will immediately take Xunyi to Jiangzhou to find Rou'er and Jianping and tell them all about your shameless behavior..."
"Haha..." Yun Zhuiyue suddenly laughed out loud, "Luo Tianjin, Luo Tianjin, why are you so naive? Do you think I told you everything just to help your family reunite?"
"What do you mean?"
"I know what you're thinking." Yun Zhuiyue grinned, "Do you think that by putting all the blame on me, you can get forgiveness from Rou'er and her son, and reunite as a family? Humph! That's just wishful thinking!"
"you……"
"Rou'er has hated you for a long time. She has repeatedly told me not to tell you everything. But today you want to kill Liu Xunyi. If I just stand by and watch, I will feel happy, but if Rou'er finds out in the future, she... will inevitably blame me." Yun Zhuiyue said, "But don't be happy too soon. If Liu Xunyi knew what you did to Rou'er back then, do you think he would recognize you, a heartless and ungrateful person, as his father?"
“These are our family affairs…”
"Really?" Yun Zhuiyue sneered, "Don't forget! Liu Xunyi is now an official appointed by the court. He has been deeply favored by the court since he was a child. He is loyal to the Song Dynasty and yearns for fame and success. He hopes that he can become a national hero like Yang Ye and Yue Fei in the future, rebuild the country and serve the country with loyalty. But you are obsessed with starting a rebellion and overthrowing the Song Dynasty. He is an official and you are a bandit. You are born to be opposed to him. If you recognize him, think about whether the court will tolerate him?"
"What's wrong with the imperial court not to tolerate him?"
"This is just your wishful thinking." Yun Zhuiyue snorted, "You are willing to be a gangster for the rest of your life, and you are willing to be a traitor who is despised by everyone, but Liu Xunyi is not willing to do that. You want to change the dynasty and establish yourself as the emperor, but Liu Xunyi is deeply influenced by the teachings of loyalty and righteousness. In his heart, the principles of 'Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers' must not be disturbed. The status of a father is far inferior to that of a king, not to mention you, a father who appeared halfway and has no feelings for him. Think about it! If the court does not tolerate him because of you, it means that all his efforts of more than 20 years have been burned, and it also means... it means that you are the one who destroyed his bright future. In this case, will he be willing to recognize you as his selfish father?"
"Yun Zhuiyue, you are so despicable! You knew that I was a man of the underworld, but you deliberately sent Xunyi to the government..."
"You deceived the entire Teng clan and played with Rou'er's feelings. Isn't that despicable?" Yun Zhuiyue said coldly. "Back in Xiangxi, you used sweet words to deceive Rou'er and the clan leader, leaving me with only two choices: either accept you against my conscience, or be regarded as a masked villain by the clan leader and Rou'er. Today, I will also give you two choices. One is to recognize Liu Xunyi at all costs and ruin your son's bright future with your own hands. The other is to pretend to be ignorant of everything and let Liu Xunyi and Zhao Yuan join forces to get rid of you, and use your life to help your son establish unprecedented merits and achieve the fame and career he has always dreamed of. Of course, this is also your only chance to gain their forgiveness."
"you……"
"Luo Tianjin, I know you are always selfish. But this time, if you choose to save yourself, Liu Xunyi's future will be ruined. With his personality, he will never go along with you even if he has to commit suicide to thank God. Rou'er will never forgive you after knowing this. In the past, because of your selfishness, you have let them and their son down for more than 20 years. Today, you can only save one of yourself and your son. I hope you take care of yourself."
After saying that, Yun Zhuiyue didn't give Luo Tianjin any chance to refute. She suddenly turned around and walked quickly towards the end of the street.
"Of course, if you want to fight me to the death, I am more than happy to do so and will accompany you to the end at any time!" Yun Zhuiyue's mocking voice came from a distance, "However, seeing that you are now facing internal and external troubles and are plagued by "hundreds of diseases", I am afraid you don't have the energy to fight against me. Haha..."
Despite Yun Zhuiyue's sarcasm, Luo Tianjin was still immersed in his own world and had no intention of getting entangled with Yun Zhuiyue. Compared with the shocking secret he had just learned, Yan Bugui's unknown life and death, Yun Zhuiyue's uninvited visit... none of these seemed important anymore.
In the distance, Shao Yuanqing hurriedly caught up with Yun Zhuiyue's pace and asked curiously, "Holy Lord, if Luo Tianjin is allowed to kill Liu Xunyi, Valley Master Xiao will definitely be sworn enemies with him, and you can take advantage of the situation to get in, so why bother to stop him?"
"How dare you!" Yun Zhuiyue said unhappily, "What do you mean by 'taking advantage of the opportunity'? The relationship between me and Valley Master Xiao cannot be influenced by these despicable tricks."
"I spoke out of turn. I just can't understand why the Holy Lord wanted to save Liu Xunyi."
"It was a conspiracy in the past, trying to make them kill each other. Unexpectedly, Luo Tianjin saw through Liu Xunyi's identity in advance, so I had to use an open conspiracy on him, making him consider the father-son relationship and take the initiative to jump into the trap set by Liu Xunyi and Zhao Yuan." Yun Zhuiyue explained, "If Liu Xunyi is killed by Luo Tianjin today, Zhao Yuan and the court will no longer have a chance to deal with him, unless they encircle and suppress him with a large army, but this kind of thing is impossible in Luoyang City. Therefore, if you want to use Zhao Yuan and the court to deal with Luo Tianjin, Liu Xunyi must not die."
"Oh!" Shao Yuanqing seemed to understand what he heard and agreed reluctantly.
"Never forget your real goal." Yun Zhuiyue taught, "The person I want to deal with is Luo Tianjin, not Liu Xunyi. If Liu Xunyi dies, Zhao Yuan leaves, and Luo Tianjin is still safe and sound, it will be a waste of time for us."
"But Luo Tianjin already knows that Liu Xunyi is a spy for the imperial court, so how could he willingly fall into their trap?" Shao Yuanqing hesitated, "If it were me, I would definitely not sit still and wait for death. Even if I didn't recognize Liu Xunyi, I would rack my brains to come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties."
"If even you can think of it, how could Luo Tianjin not think of it?" Yun Zhuiyue raised a sly smile, "Who is Luo Tianjin? A selfish hypocrite. Don't look at him saying that he cares about his son. In fact, he will definitely not trade his life for another's. Therefore, Liu Xunyi and Zhao Yuan are just baits to lure Luo Tianjin. I don't expect them to really kill Luo Tianjin. In fact, the one who really delivered the fatal blow to Luo Tianjin... is someone else."
