The sky is dark and the night is bright, the moon is bright and dazzling, God always seems to be the most fair in this world, no matter what he sees in front of his eyes during the day, the sky is still constant, the wind is still blowing, the sky is clear, and there will be no change because of the human beings in this world.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night, the lights are still shining everywhere in the palace, and the elders of the royal family and some officials of Shadu are still gathered in the main hall to discuss the question of the right to inherit the throne that cannot be concluded at all.

"King He should succeed him! According to the hereditary system of the throne, after the previous king leaves office, if he has no children under his knees, he should pass on the throne to his relatives! Except for Lu Xi'an and Lu Xihua, King He has the highest rank in the clan! He should succeed to the throne..

"Fart! Now that we are a society governed by the rule of law, how can there be any reason for the hereditary system to take over! What's more, we are no longer a nation, but a country! The rise and fall of a country depends entirely on the king! Such an important position must be occupied by a virtuous person! Who in the whole Shadu does not know that King Nioh is the most benevolent and virtuous person? Only when King Ni inherits the throne is the .. that everyone wants."

“..”

If people who don't know are present, they will definitely think that these two forces are trying their best to fight for fame and fortune for their masters, but in fact? They are desperately stepping on their own masters!

You may never see such a spectacle once in your life, but is this the most strange thing? No, it's not! The most strange thing is that people don't want it! Not only that, but they even desperately praise you for becoming king! This really makes ninety percent of the people in this world stunned and broke their waists.

Sun Lao covered his eyes in amazement, temporarily lived on the throne, listening to the never-ending arguments on the chatter beside him, and felt sad...

The sky is clear, the moon is bright, the evening breeze is blowing, the palace gate, next to the ancient road, a manor is quiet and serene, in the house, there are many people, sleeping on the ground, the edge corner, under the lattice window, a generation of heroic emperors, but now he is willing to be a cloth cloth The former king of Shadu, Lu Xihua, is lying on a straw mat covered by several cloth clothes, his head rests on his arms, and he can't sleep for a long time.

Although he is no longer the king, he still can't let go of the country and the society in his heart, the people in the capital, and his daughter who was in the enemy camp and was taken hostage!

There is no god in the world, and there is no god in the world who will save the world from fire and water, and there is no god and bodhisattva who saves suffering and great compassion, and human beings have understood this truth after experiencing the apocalyptic catastrophe that swept the world four years ago, but whenever it comes, they will still be lucky..

Just like what Lu Xihua is doing now, pray to the gods to bless the lives and well-being of those he cherishes!

"The gods of the Nine Heavens... Please bless my daughter well and well. I am willing to spend the rest of my life in exchange. I just want to exchange it for the safety of my women's lives."

..

The sly moon was at the head, the weather began to turn cooler, and the fiery fire element quickly transformed into the cold water element, did you forget?

Under the dark canvas of heaven and earth, an altar built in the center of the circle is particularly eye-catching, the brazier that ignites the blazing fire is placed in the four corners, barely maintaining the temperature on the platform, on the wooden frame embedded in the center, the pale face for a long time stares blankly at the pure and high full moon in the sky, and can't help but ask yourself in your heart, has you done something wrong...

Why do you have to be treated like this when you have done the right thing? Do you really have to make the wrong choice to protect yourself from harm?..

But the concept she was instilled in since she was a child, the education she received was like this, and she was sure that she had done nothing wrong!

Call!~

A biting cold wind swept through.

The thin body shivered in the cold wind for a long time.

"Father... Why?.. Please tell me.."

..

The same night, the same moonlight, but being looked at by different people, the feeling is also different

The cold wind outside the window was quiet, Sha Jia turned off the light, and he was lying on the bed alone and couldn't sleep, it seemed that whenever he closed his eyes, there was bound to appear in his mind the last scene he saw for a long time on the execution ground today, the blood red of the long skirt occupied all the memories in his memory, he began to regret that he didn't break free from Zhou Yihan on the execution ground at that time, maybe he couldn't help much if he stayed in that situation, but at least he had a clear conscience, and he didn't have to suffer from this kind of inner fire...

"I'm still too weak... Even if I stay, I'm afraid I will only suffer a punishment that is even more cruel than Jiujiu, that kind of punishment... Can I take it?"

He began to ask himself in his heart, his heart was torn back and forth between fear and conscience, whether he was conceited and risked his life and made what might be the most important choice in his life! Or did he have low self-esteem and give up the struggle and sink into karma from then on?..

Shaga couldn't make up his mind completely, tossing and turning in bed, his mind getting more and more messy, and finally, he sat up, got dressed, rolled over and went to the floor, pushed the door and walked out of the room.

..

"It's not enough... These cities alone are far from enough."

On the same night, under the full moon in the middle of the sky, Zhou Yihan sat on the edge of a certain roof, holding a fan in his hands, looking at the vivid moonlit night scenery on it, and the name of the capital written next to the scenery, he couldn't help but murmur a little

At this moment, it has really been a month and a half since he left the Shendu, and this journey has brought the number of capitals that he has collected to six, which is recorded without counting the Shadu, and it is actually a very good result to be able to return the six capitals to the Shendu Temple in just two months, but Zhou Yihan still doesn't seem to feel satisfied...

"With just these forces, to fight against the shadow demon who caused the world's apocalyptic catastrophe, it is tantamount to self-destruction, according to this progress, even if the year is over, I can only bring back a few armies for the gods, so when will I be able to take revenge?..

Call!~

Zhou Yihan focused slightly, and when he said the last question, a stream of air seemed to unconsciously burst out of his body, forcing the cold air that was scattered around his body to a meter away from his body, forming a wave of wind and sand visible to the naked eye..

"No.. I can't be impatient.. In the last days, the probability of encountering the capital is random, even if my results here are really not good, there are still three of them, half a year is already far for us, it is impossible for the southeast and northwest to not have a good side, right?.."

Closing his eyes, exhaling deeply, Zhou Yihan comforted himself by talking to himself in his mouth, and easily turned the folding fan in his palm into a spirit and dispersed it, he raised his head, and his eyes inevitably faced the sand capital under the nightfall in front of him, two completely different night scenes...

In the tripartite camp of the King's army, which was encamped at the bottom of the slope a little closer to him, the lights were bright all night, and there seemed to be a tendency to turn the night into day.

And the other end of the long bridge, which is farther away from him, is half of the city deadly silent, dark and dark, and you can't even see the lights.

Looking at the half-half sand under him that was so obvious, even Zhou Yihan couldn't help but sigh lightly and sighed: "Alas.. It's a big capital, and in the end it came to this point, although Lu Xihua has no ability, but at least under his rule, the development of Shadu is still very rapid, and the replacement of the seasons from generation to generation always needs a steady stream of talents to replenish, but it's a pity now... Such a beautiful city will be destroyed by the two of them."

Elbowed along the edge and bent over, suddenly, his voice stopped, and his eyes turned to a certain intersection not far downstairs, where a young figure was walking up from the bottom of the slope in despair.

"Desert Fox?.. Is he really still worried about the fact that Princess Jiujiu was tied up by Lurd?"

Yes, the figure who was walking up the ramp was Shaga, and it could be seen that he was also disturbed by today's events, and he couldn't sleep until he came out for a walk, who knew that he would come to this place of le while walking, and this was the uphill and downhill intersection that walked with them for a long time and night, and finally separated

"For a long time.."

Sha Jia didn't notice Zhou Yihan, who was observing him on the roof of the building in the distance, and when he walked up the ramp, his eyes naturally glanced at the top of the ramp, looking at the room with warm curtains hanging on the top of the ramp, he couldn't help but murmur, "I'm sorry for a long time.. I.. It's just too weak.. I'm just a coward... If it weren't for the fact that I was afraid that killing Lurde would lead to trouble, I would have stopped the teacher, you would have been fine... If I could have more courage and help the teacher on the execution ground today, you would be fine... But at the end of the day, I just stood there and watched the teacher face the bad guys who kidnapped you.."

"Da... Da.."

As he spoke, tears flowed unconsciously, and Saga faced his former home for a long time and confessed what he had done, but he was just an ordinary boy of fifteen or sixteen years old!

With tears in her eyes, Saga confessed, "I was really scared at that time, and I pinned all my hopes on the teacher, I wanted to save you! I'm not a disciple of the Spirit Monarch from the Temple of the Gods of Shangdu, I'm just a thug on the edge of the desert by looting the supplies of those travelers who are already powerless to resist due to dehydration, I'm just an ordinary person.."

At the last sentence, Saga roared in a low voice, as if hating his own weakness, and then, he suddenly looked up at the night sky, and roared with all his might: "God, why are you so stingy?! Why can't you give me the strength to protect those you hold dear like your teacher.. Why is it just me? It's an ordinary person.."

The vast momentum soared into the sky, and in the last sentence, he lost his mind and lowered his head, and said in a low voice.

Saga vented the emotions in his heart, and the whole person was still the walking dead, step by step, towards the road they had walked together with Jiujiu, reminiscing...

Call~

His back went away...

A faint whirlpool of air suddenly converged from all directions to the position he had just stood on, and in the next second, Zhou Yihan appeared there out of thin air...

He looked at the back of Sha Jia's departure, his eyes glanced down slightly, and saw the dust gathered together on the ground under his feet because of Sha Jia's tears, and those strange blue eyes blinked and blinked!

After a faint cyclone, his figure disappeared into the night sky.
