In the dark night, there seemed to be endless laughter that broke the magnificent beams of Ruo Ao's house, and Ling Yinzi's coffin, as well as the corpses of Ruo Ao Ziliang and other clansmen, were buried under the ruins in front of them.

And in the night rain, some people were drenched like a water dog, digging through the broken rubble and the collapsed earthen walls with their hands, trying to dig out the buried people and the past one by one.

But someone kept shouting behind him: "Childe!"

"Ziyan!"

"Wait until the rain stops before digging......"

"It's raining too much!"

The sound of the dripping rain mixed with the shouts of one after another sounded behind him, but the man only stained his bare hands with blood, his nails were cracked, and he refused to give up to move the huge beams and walls that were pressed on top of the coffin, until the eyes full of bruises and maggots and flies below were revealed, and there were endless laughter echoing in the night rain, and endless blood and tears swallowed back into his abdomen, "Haha...... Father, you lied to me!"

"What a long-lasting clan!"

"Nope!"

"It's all gone!"

"Haha, father, you lied to me......"

In the midst of the heavy rain, a dazzling lightning bolt tore through the dim earth and illuminated the man's hideous face.

……

In the Chu Palace.

Because of the various problems that followed, the Mi Huang, who couldn't sleep peacefully even after drinking the tranquilizing decoction, was surrounded by the whispers, laughter, and indignation echoing in the sound of the night rain......

Entangled in one nightmare after another.

Repeatedly shouted, "No! I remember!"

A hall of black shadows, as if countless dead people, crawled out of all corners of the dormitory, like wild ghosts floating in the air without rest, constantly impacting the four walls of this golden palace piled up with white bones.

The sound of rain outside the hall gradually became louder, and the tiles were beating on to make a "jingle" sound, as if those ghosts were shouting at her: "Remember, why should we sacrifice our lives to win and let it out so easily?"

I know that what is in front of me is a dream.

But Mi Huang still couldn't bear it, shook his head and retreated.

"No!"

She didn't want to.

She just hoped that stability would be restored to Chu as soon as possible, but all kinds of hot, cold, fishy, and stinky blood still sprinkled her face......

There was bright red blood, constantly flowing down her forehead, blinding her eyes, making her vision in front of her, bright red and bloody, and even they all rushed over one by one to pull her into the abyss like a sinner.

The fist was only half of his body left, dragging on the ground, crawling towards her with blood all the way, the short sword in his hand pointed directly at her throat, and shouted bitterly: "The king of lost power, follow me to see the ancestors of the Great Chu!"

The next moment, with the short sword he tossed, it "clicked" into the floor tiles at her feet.

She followed the tip of the sword, but looked up and was shocked to see the young King of Chu, holding a rope on a rainy night, strangled the ancestor Cheng Wang with a hideous face, and then hung his person on the beam of the dormitory of the Chu and Palace, disguised as a self-hanging illusion.

But when she was looking at the ancestor Cheng Wang, a thunderbolt exploded in front of her eyes, illuminating the dim hall of the Cheng King, who was hanging in the room and dyed with a cloak, and became Ruo Ao Ziyan!

"Ah--h

Mi Huang was awakened from the nightmare, looked around, and realized that she was now in the Chu He Palace where the King of Chu lived, and a roll of bamboo slips on the side of the hemp couch was scattered to the ground with her up, but Mi Huang didn't pay attention.

It's just that his chest heavs violently.

She didn't believe what she saw in her dream, and muttered to herself, "How could my grandfather have been killed by my father's own hands?...... And how did it end up becoming...... It couldn't ......."

Holding on to his heavy forehead and weak body, Mi Huang called, "Siqin, give me a glass of water......

However, no one in the hall responded, only the wind carried raindrops and whipped the green tiles and bricks overhead, making a "ping-pong" sound, making people think that the auditory hallucinations were someone fighting.

The bronze chandelier hanging on the hall swayed with the wind, and the hanging rope made an old "creak" sound, bringing up the dust on the beams of this palace for many years, falling to the ground, and the choking people were a little uncomfortable.

"Siqin...... Division ...... Painting"

A few more weak screams, but no one responded, and the faint sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground and fighting in the wind and rain penetrated into the curtain layer by layer.

The voice is heard.

Mi Huang finally narrowed his eyes and listened.

In my mind, I unconsciously remembered that in the "Biography of Chu Wang, King Chu", King Cheng hanged himself on the beam, and a month ago, her father was forced into the palace by Yue Jiao, took poison and cut himself, and was also in this palace......

She shuddered at the thought of this.

His eyes were raised slightly, wanting to see which beam King Cheng was hanging on back then.

But she didn't know that it was the huge bronze chandeliers hanging in this hall that blocked her vision, and through the layers of curtains, she only saw a huge black shadow reflected on the bed curtains, swaying with the wind, and with the sound of "more leakage" in the middle of the night, it sounded in the corner of the dormitory, slowly approaching her.

Like a ghost in a dream.

Midnight lock.

The people of the time feared ghosts and gods, and she was reborn as a ghost, so she could not believe in this matter.

The dagger on the wrist, held in the hand, the phoenix waved out with a "swish", and the heavy curtain in front of him was immediately divided into two pieces, and fell to the ground.

After only half of the white gauze tent remained, Dan saw a tall and hidden figure wrapped in golden armor, standing in the hall, his face all covered under the golden helmet, covered with dark clouds, murderous.

Dark eyes.

Except for violence, he stared at her without any emotion!

The open outer room, starting from where he stood, stretched out to the outer room, and the whole dormitory was more like a hurricane that had just been experienced, and the tables, chairs, people, all of them were on their backs and fell to the ground in disarray.

Si Qin and the others clutched their abdomen in pain and stretched out their hands to look at her, "Your Highness, be careful...... Colt ......"

Outside the hall, the forbidden army on duty at night has been subdued by Yang Wei and all the six departments brought by the frightening wind; Ashin and Mao Ba were held by people with sharp swords against their necks, and they fell to the ground, and a huge opening on their necks was dripping blood, and they wanted to struggle to the death, but their jaws were dislocated and they could not speak, so they could only whine and roar; there were also a few Huang Yuwei who just wanted to rush out to report the news, but they let out an exclamation and were caught by several powerful soldiers and quickly gagged; the palace gate of Chu He Palace had been locked by someone inserting the deadbolt from the inside, and it was guarded by heavy soldiers inside and outside！

"Woo ......"

"How dare you trespass into the forbidden palace and kill people......"

"This is the great treachery of the Nine Clans......"

Quickly swept through the entire six departments guarding inside and outside the palace, and the fragments of the historical records of King Cheng being forced to kill the palace by Ruoao led by the King of Chu lingered in her mind.

This is not a trespass to the forbidden palace at all!

This is Shijun!

She has not yet become a prince for a day, and she entered the palace with her front foot and announced her preparation to ascend the throne, and she encountered such a thing on her back foot, I am afraid that she is the most troubled generation of kings in the upper position among the nine generations of kings of Chu State.

The next moment, Mi Huangdan saw Ruo Ao Ziyan's big and messy steps rushing towards her, and the wet rain dripped down the armor on his body, meandering all the way into a river, flowing all the way.

Her heart was pounding.

Now that all the defenses around her have been lifted, she is the only one left, and he has brought a large number of soldiers into the palace, and it seems that he has controlled the entire Chu and the palace.

Because of drinking that soothing soup, the current Mi Huang does not have much strength in her whole body, if possible, what she needs more is a good sleep to relax the tense nerves these days, and the physical strength and energy consumed.

However, these are clearly delusions.

Since she put down the Yuejiao Rebellion, everything has been going in a direction that she didn't expect at all.

Ruo Ao Ziyan could not bear the mutiny of Ling Yin's death, and after the rebellion of Ruo Ao Yuejiao, she once again provoked the signs of domestic division and forced her to restore everything of the Ruo Ao clan; she sent troops under the north gate of the city of Manquan and firmly provoked the biggest and most sensitive political issue in the Chu State -- between the "royal family and the Ruo Ao clan", there was an imbalance of power, and the gate valve was powerful, forcing her to be a promising king......

I thought Yue Jiao would die.

All this turmoil and unrest will be lifted.

But an unpredictable crisis has been lurking around her, and it has never really been resolved.

This is the inevitable product of the rapid expansion and development of the territory and population of the major vassal states in the past three hundred years - a large feudal lord with seventeen fiefdoms, a super clan gate lord with nearly half of the private army in the country, like the behemoth Ruo Ao clan.

So even when she returned to the Chu Palace, wanted to sleep well, and then thought about how all this should be, she would encounter such horrific things as "besieging the palace and killing the king......

On the side of the couch, there are tigers sleeping.

It was only at this moment that she suddenly realized.

And she, thoroughly.

Not a moment of rest.

At this moment, "there is no father and son, no husband and wife", a few words collided violently in her mind, shouting, making her extremely angry.

Seeing his rampage, Si Qin and Si Hua stumbled and pounced on him again, hugged his legs, and desperately shouted for help outside the hall: "You guys, all come here!"

As soon as the words fell, Si Qin was kicked in the chest by Ruo Ao Ziyan first, spitting blood from his mouth and falling to the ground.

Si Hua also pounced, but he couldn't do it in the end.

Ashin and the others wanted to fight hard, but as soon as they moved, Yang Wei burst out: "If you don't want their lives, just try!" Dan saw a row of bows and arrows behind him, holding bows and aiming at the entire open inner hall.

In fright, Qi Huang, who sat on the bed and didn't have time to react to all this, was instantly grabbed by the man's wrist, and if Ao Ziyan's blood-stained face instantly came into her eyes.

In the flash of light, Mi Huang immediately said loudly: "Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Can't I come back?"

Ruo Ziyan's handsome face wrapped under the helmet was shrouded in a haze, and he asked coldly.

I don't know how long he stood by her bedside and watched her.

Thinking of this, a huge crisis arose in her heart, it was not enough to calm down the civil strife, she had not firmly grasped all the military and political power inside and outside the Chu Palace, and she had not cleared all the potential crises in this palace, not to mention the political legacy left by the King of Chu, he left a big ass debt for her to wipe.

"Is there something going on at home?"

Mi Huang, who tried to divert the unpleasant topic just now, even deliberately ignored everything that was happening in front of him.

Even Si Qin and Si Hua frequently warned her, but she didn't bother to go up to look at them, just pulled him and said softly: "But since you're back, I'll go and ask Si Qin and them to get up and help you change your clothes and bathe." ”

Then he motioned with his eyes to Siqin and the others to get up.

But with Ruo Ao Ziyan's skills, Ruo Ao Yuejiao, who is the captain of the Tiger Ben, is not his opponent, not to mention the two of them who are weak women?

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

But Si Qin still stroked his chest, gritted his teeth and grabbed Si Hua, and tried to get up, "Si Hua, let's get up! Go and boil some hot water for the horse, if you don't care about it in the rain, you will catch a cold......

"Hmmm......"

Si Hua grabbed Si Qin's hand and bit his silver teeth secretly.

The second daughter wiped the blood from her mouth, held on to the table and chair that fell to the ground, and got up hard.

"No!"

A pair of big hands full of wounds stopped the phoenix who took the opportunity to get up and leave.

Then Mi Huang was shocked to see him bend down and pick up a roll of scattered bamboo slips on the ground - "Chu Qi"...... Standing up straight, he casually untied his hat and threw it on the ground, and suddenly a small cold puddle of water accumulated under his feet.

He held the scroll and read in a clear voice: "Xiao Ao has been six years old, and he has died, and the son of the bear is standing for the sake of the sheep." He died after ten years. The elder brother Xiong stood for the king of martial arts...... In the thirteenth year of King Wen, he died, and his son Xiong stood for Zhuang Ao. Zhuang Ao five years, wanted to kill his brother Xiong Yun, Yun ran with him, and followed the attack to kill Zhuang Ao, in order to become the king...... In the forty-sixth year of his reign, in the winter and October, the merchant surrounded the king with palace soldiers. King Cheng asked for a bear to eat and died, but the merchant did not listen. Ding Wei, Cheng Wang was strangled by himself. The merchant was appointed on behalf of King Mu. ”

Ruo Ziyan's voice was obviously not in a hurry, or even a distemper, but it was like a heavy punch hitting her heart, which shook her eardrums "buzzing".

The phoenix who got up and got out of bed.

Unconsciously stopped all movements, and the palms of his hands clenched.

Thinking of this, Ruo Ao Ziyan, who was holding "Chu Qi", looked at her and let out a sneer: "The son kills the father, the brother kills the brother, and the uncle kills the nephew...... The sword of the dearest one is added ......"

"My Chu country really has a good tradition of kissing!"

The man's hand is full of green muscles.

He thought about it and corrected the words he had just used again: "No, it's your room, there is really a good tradition!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan threw the bamboo slip made of twine to her feet with a "bang", hitting her naked instep, and immediately turned red.

But she didn't care about the pain, just quickly bent down, picked up the historical records on the ground, grabbed the "Chu Tree", and then took three steps and made two steps, and ran to the only Boshan bookshelf in the palace of the King of Chu, trying to insert this historical book into the hundreds of bamboo slips, and never saw it again. ”

"Nothing to do with us?"

Ruo Ao Ziyan smiled, walked to the bookshelf, and the woman who was trembling with her hands around her dirty clothes, and pressed her against the bookshelf suddenly.

A dark and unfamiliar dormitory.

The mountain of books trembled.

The bronze lantern hanging on the top of the palace made a louder "creaking" and shaking sound with this vibration.

The rope rubbed against the beam, the dust was rising, the choking person's nose inhaled, the eyes were dark red, and even the rich fragrance floating in the bronze incense burner could not dispel the choking dust.

At this time, the dim lights ghosted, illuminating the corner of the dormitory that was as dark as thick ink after the second watch, and the dull shadow of the man who was motionless on the woman's body.

On the edge of the bookshelf, with the arrival of the man, the originally warm obscene clothes were no longer warm, and the cold rain mixed in the brocade, wetting her body, and the cold bronze armor froze her limbs through the wet clothes.

The two collided with each other.

Mi Huang tried his best to hold back his patience and looked at him silently.

Ruo Ziyan casually brushed aside Mi Huang's messy black hair, picked up her pointed chin, and carefully examined it from top to bottom.

fingertips, little by little lightly swiped her eyebrows, her man's eyes, and this face that she once liked so much, heroic facial features, can force this Dachu and even many men in the world to bow their heads and admit defeat, but she has a pair of cherry red lips that are stubborn and refuse to beg for mercy and refuse to tell him the truth......

Ruo Ao Ziyan thought of this.

Pouted hard.

A crazy kiss like a bone-eating cone.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

Let her empathize with the anger and pain he buried deep in his chest at this moment, until the two of them couldn't breathe, they loosened their slender, flexible and powerful waist, lowered their heads against her sensitive ear and asked, "But one day our story will be written into this history, won't it?"

"What do you think will happen?"

Hearing this, Mi Huang crossed his hands behind him, his five fingers secretly opened slightly, clasped the high bookshelf behind him, turned his head and said: "This ending, you can write whatever you want!"

"You're the winner, aren't you?"

Mi Huang's gaze fell on the soldier who threatened her with a bow outside the hall, and secretly pulled up the corner of the slightly red and swollen lip that was kissed by him: "I just don't know how many people believe in that ending even if it is written ...... perfect ending."

Yang Wei, who was standing outside the hall with a sword in his hand, came into contact with this glance, his face flushed, he turned his head to avoid the two eyes meeting, and then motioned to all the soldiers to step back and avoid a distance.

"Da-da-da-da......"

The sound of neat soldiers' steps sounded outside the dark hall, causing Ruo Ao Ziyan and Si Qin to turn around at the same time, Si Qin's eyes showed the last despair, and Ruo Ao Ziyan's face suddenly became very ugly, and she was pulled up suddenly, forcing her to look: "Who do you think caused all this?"

Under the gate of the north city, there was a big fuss in front of the whole Chu people, and the husband and wife left separately, but the streets in the capital were full of all kinds of patrolling government soldiers, and even surveillance sentries...... Back at home, Chu Zhongtang, who was almost in ruins, and his father's bones were not cold.

For a moment, it was shocking.

The sky is falling.

Thinking of the sudden fist, it easily smashed the peace that they tried to whitewash after the admonition, and revealed their truth.

At that moment, he had every reason to suspect that everything today was a murder plot carefully arranged by her, tricking him into the capital, and then using the mouth of the fist to carry out verbal criticism and writing against Ruo Ao, suffering from the world's criticism and accusations, and then killing him.

Everything will be turned into a crusade against the justice of the Ruo Ao clan.

How ridiculously righteous?

But it's all a struggle for power!

Facing Ruo Ao Ziyan, who was glaring at him with such hatred, Mi Huang said, "Then you want to say that it's all because of me?"

The man grabbed her hard, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells: "Did I tell you a long time ago: Yue Jiao, I will punish you! Do you insist on investigating that ghost homeless case! Or did you let go of that damn son-in-law in the first place! It's all your stupid behavior again and again, killing my father! It made my Ruo Ao family what it is today!"

"Everything was fine. ”

"It's all you! ”

"At this moment, do you feel that you are full of wings and no longer need me!"

"You even want to kill me?"

Qi Huang's gaze followed his dangerous words, and she couldn't help but half-hang her eyelashes, and her gaze fell lightly on his chest, as if she could cut open his chest as long as she held the dagger in her hand and stabbed it forward.

But it's too late to explain.

She could feel his anger.

Her chin was pouted, her face was forced to lift, and she looked at him: "This is my good wife!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan looked down at Mi Huang with red eyes, didn't give her a chance to explain at all, and said coldly: "Looking at you like this, it makes me afraid!"

At this moment, the chest of the phoenix seemed to be burning.

She pointed to herself, her voice slightly raised.

"I'm scared of you?"

Looking at the man he once loved the most in the world, tears welled up in his eyes a little bit, Qi Huang raised his head hard, and tried his best to suppress all the cowardice in the depths of his eyes: "Okay! If Ao Ziyan, if you say it's my fault, it's all my fault!"

"Your father killed Yin Zi like me Mi Huang alone! If you Ao clan is destroyed by me Mi Huang alone!"

At first, I couldn't hear too many ups and downs from Mi Huang's voice, like a calm flowing river, but the more she went later, the more irrepressible her voice rose, like a thousand waves breaking through the river, stirring up layer by layer.

"So you kill me and avenge them!"

She mockingly raised her hand and pointed at the soldiers who were all over the inside and outside of the temple: "Anyway, you can destroy my innocence anytime and anywhere!"

As the words fell, she grabbed his big hand and pinched her neck.

Let him strangle her.

Let him take revenge and hatred, and his heart will be happy, and even realize his great ambition in the name of it.

But when those blood-stained hands touched her delicate swan neck and fragile arteries in an instant, she felt terrified, trembled, and wanted to take it back, but she clasped the back of his head tightly with her backhand, forcing him to look at her without blinking, and killed her without hesitation!

"Come on!"

"Kill me!"

"Ruo Ao Ziyan!"

Ruo Ziyan snorted heavily, pushed her away violently, and even ran out of bed in a bit of a hurry, widened the distance between the two, and cursed: "I won't go crazy with you!"

"Crazy?"

Huang let out a chuckle.

She never thought that she was just a crazy woman in Ruo Ao Ziyan's eyes: "Ruo Ao Ziyan, you suspect that I want to kill you day and night, and even brought so many people to surround our dormitory, pointing bows and arrows at me......"

"You want to kill me, but you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, right?"

On the other end, if Ao Ziyan was caught up by her and robbed Bai, he suddenly became angry, and he couldn't find an outlet to vent, so he glared at Si Qin, who was staring at the two daughters, and yelled: "What are you doing here, get out of here!"

Si Hua wanted to take the opportunity to leave the search for someone.

Si Qin secretly grabbed her and shook her head, and looked at the two of them in the corner firmly.

However, in an instant, she found that the situation had gradually reversed, and at this time, it was Mi Huang who grabbed Ruo Ao Ziyan's strong arms in turn and forced him to stare at her: "Ruo Ao Ziyan, I Mi Huang told you: You will either kill me today!"

"Either we reconcile!"

"After the peace, we will each sleep in peace!"

"Don't worry about the people next to the pillow who are suspicious and want each other's lives at any time. ”

She is not a saint.

She didn't have endless patience, strength, thoughts, and care, over and over again, whitewashing this war-filled marriage, maintaining the hypocritical peace in front of people, but secretly suffering day and night...... Anyway, this hypocritical whitewash is no longer necessary, and there is no rumored palace wall in this world. The people inside and outside the entire Yingdu must be guessing something at this time because of the death of the fist.

And how can they disguise peace?

"And leave?"

Before she could finish the rest of the sentence, she felt a terrible cold air emanating from the man's body.

Ruo Ao Ziyan's voice suddenly tensed, her handsome face was once again filled with a dark and dull aura, her eyes were cold and terrifying, and then she pinched her jaw and asked abruptly: "Mi Huang, do you know what a political marriage is?"

"It is good to tie up the surnames of the two families, and the interests are good, once they reconcile, it means that the two families have become enemies from in-laws. ”

"So you guys, never want to get rid of our Ruo Ao clan!"

"If you want to reconcile, unless the state of Chu is also reduced to ruins!"

Mi Huang's body shook suddenly, shook his hands into fists, and his eyes were only cold: "You dare?"

Ruo Ziyan's eyebrows were stained with a layer of haze, and he said coldly: "Do I dare, don't you know?"

"If Ao Ziyan, is it a little setback, you will be like a broken clay doll, and you will no longer be able to stick back to that heart made of clay?"

Mi Huang looked at him and patted the cold armor on his body: "Your heart shouldn't be made of the hardest bronze cast?

"So you think I'm cold to you?"

"Cruel?"

When he thought of the family that he had worked so hard to return to but was almost in ruins, of his father's coffin being crushed under the fallen beams, of the body that had been dug up and festering and long maggots, of his mother who had gone mad and guarded the ruins, and that all the people were gone when he returned, and that they were either corpses or, like his sister, they had become frightened birds and hid in the ruins......

The once powerful and proud family is gone......

No more--—

Ruo Ziyan's eyes were red and he yelled at her: "But who is merciful to my family?"

"There is no one who does not want to be kind to you, but you yourself do not have a benevolent heart!

"You!"

Ruo Ao Ziyan looked at her with his hands and laughed: "How can a woman understand a man's world?!"

Hearing this, Mi Huang looked him up and down at this time and said, "Yes, I'm a woman, I don't understand your men's desire to be in charge of the world's power! But this is your Ruo Ao Ziyan's pride?"

"If you win, you can't afford to lose?"

"What about your aristocratic cultivation, and what about the books that the teacher taught?"

"Once you fail, you will take your anger on your wife again and again, so what is the difference between you and those puppets outside?"

"You like this, in my opinion......"

The word "failure" has been written on his face, and the world is public!"

When Mi Huang said the word "failure", if Ao Ziyan's released hand was clenched into a fist, his muscles were exposed, and he looked like he was going to eat someone and stare at his wife in front of him.

His fists trembled in the air.

A golden hilt that clung to her waist seemed to draw her sword to kill her if he couldn't contain his anger, but if he did so, it would only be a confirmation of what she called "failure".

But when his gaze touched the newly worn mutton fat white jade ring on his thumb.

Ruo Ao Ziyan smiled.
