Yandu

Imperial

An eight-hundred-mile expedited letter was sent from Ruzhou to Yandu, and a few horses were killed on the way, and a few post guards were exhausted, so there is no need to say.

It's just that when the ninety-five respected opened the letter paper in the small box, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his palms were cold, and the favorite concubine on the side was silent, just looked at the solemn face of the king beside him, and listened to him say softly, "Go, Xuan Li Xiangqing." ”

Late at night, the Li Mansion, which had closed the door of the mansion, was woken up by an annoying knock, and the porter had no exit to scold, after all, daring to knock on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night was either a big deal, or it was not known whether it was dead or alive, and it happened that the Prime Minister's house was afraid of these two, but the former was their family and wanted to pay respect, and the latter was their family and their family and didn't want to pay attention to it.

Open a small crack, the porter only saw the red-clothed official pale, partial cheeks with a layer of red, giving people the feeling of demonic spirit, the porter looked at the tanuki on the man's clothes, and was wondering which way this was the person, the official who was looking east and west looked over, and said with a look of surprise, "Hey, it can be regarded as a person who came out, the miscellaneous family has been waiting for a long time, let Master Li go out of the house, and look for it in the palace." ”

Listening to the shrill voice, the porter probably reacted, this is the person in the palace, so he opened the door, welcomed the person in, and led the person all the way to the outside of Li Xiangqing's study, and then said to the palace man beside him, "My lord, please wait, the slave will go and report it." ”

"Let's go. The palace man urged, his face anxious and urgent.

The porter walked to the door of the study and knocked on the door, the study was brightly lit, and this hour was still busy in line with the reputation of this adult for being diligent and conscientious, Xia Shiwen squinted his eyes and looked at the figure on the shadow of the window, it seemed that there was more than one person in the study, and there was also a woman.

Li Xiang's glamorous blessing is not shallow, there are red sleeves to add fragrance at such a late hour, tsk.

It's just that the moment he opened the door, Xia Shiwen couldn't help but be stunned, because the woman behind the man was obviously the hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and what could be seen in the palace banquets in the past was an extremely delicate woman, but it was easy to see that this lady was abnormal with Xia Shiwen's eyesight.

At this time, Li Xiangqing had already heard the porter talk about the people in the palace looking for him, and he walked over here, followed by the woman who followed suit, and said to Xia Shiwen, "Lord Xia, please wait, I'll go and change into official clothes first." ”

Xia Shiwen hurriedly stopped, "Li Xiang is slow, Your Majesty has ordered, Li Xiang can wear civilian clothes, as long as he enters the palace quickly." ”

Li Xiangqing was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect the one in the palace to be in such a hurry.

Looking at Xia Shiwen in front of him, he frowned suspiciously, "I don't know what happened, why is Your Majesty so anxious?"

Xia Shiwen's heart turned, and he understood that he was testing himself, and he was only surprised by the caution of this adult, and immediately said, "Eight hundred miles is urgent, something happened in Ruzhou Mansion, and the Nanping army hit Yucang City, I heard that it was the one from the Fengbo Pavilion who was guarding there, Your Majesty invited Xiangye into the palace to discuss a solution." ”

Li Xiangqing knew it in his heart, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised that Tao Ziyuan would stay in Yucang City.

Glancing at the woman holding his arm beside him, Li Xiangqing said to Xia Shiwen, "Please Lord Xia later, this official still has some things to explain." ”

Xia Shi heard that it was because of the lady beside him, so he immediately nodded considerately and watched Li Xiangqing pull his wife back to the study.

Li Xiangqing placed Lingyun on a chair in the study and said, "Ling'er is here waiting for my brother to come back, okay?" I'll let Sister Songzhi come to accompany you, and when you're sleepy, go to sleep with Sister Songzhi, okay?"

The smart woman in the past was just pulling the man's sleeve tightly at the moment, opened a pair of big eyes, and said timidly, "Ling'er will sleep when my brother comes back." ”

Li Xiangqing rubbed her head and said with a gentle smile, "Ling'er will rest when she is sleepy, and my brother will sleep with Ling'er when he comes back, obedient." Shrewd. ”

The woman was a little unhappy, but she still obediently let go of her hand, and watched the man turn and leave, and walked outside to leave with the red-clothed official.

From the beginning to the end, the porter kept his head down, not daring to look at the hostess.

It wasn't until Li Xiangqing told him to go to Songzhi that he turned around and ran to find the mother-in-law in the backyard to tell Songzhi to go to the study to accompany his wife.

Li Fu regained its quietness, just relaxed when Zhi rushed to the door of the study, a burst of white light flashed, she only felt that her eyes flickered, and it felt that a long time had passed, but she didn't even take a breath of time, pushed open the door, and saw the poor lady, who was just lying by the window, looking out the window stupidly, but she didn't know whether she was looking at the Zhongyuan night outside the window or the person who was drifting away.

Matsushiba sighed lightly, and could only stay behind the lady, waiting for the return of the adult.

It's just that what he didn't know was that when that burst of white light came, the lady had come to her senses, and she looked at the man in white who was getting closer and closer to her, her eyes were demented at first, and she gradually came to her senses.

Xiao Han chuckled, "You asked Bi Yuan to open the door of time and space for those people, and let those people come to this land, what do you want? If there is chaos today, the Nanping army revolts, and the war is raging in the south, but your Lang Jun has to worry about it, is this what you want? Is it me or everyone in this land that you want to take revenge against?"

Lingyun was slightly stunned, as a human god, she could almost hear the sound of war in a certain town, and the picture of soldiers approaching the city would appear in front of her. At first, she thought it was a hallucination, but later she realized that in fact, whether it was a fleeting picture or a dream, it was a real occurrence.

The war is really going on.

She didn't have a trace of happiness, just because of that sentence, her Langjun wanted to worry about it, was she really wrong?

Shouldn't such a ruthless land be completely destroyed? What thousands of years of rules and rituals are just shackling people's minds, she desperately wants to change such a world, but why is she not so happy to hear this now?

"The child I chose is guarding the entire north of Lancang in Yucang City with his own strength, Lingyun, do you really hate me? Do you remember what you said to your father when you were a child? Where did the girl who wanted to benefit the common people go?"

Lingyun smiled sadly, looked at the white-clothed man with a smile, and asked,

"Then why did you choose me! If I was just an ordinary person, if my family hadn't been killed by you, why would I do all this in such a lonely way? Do you think I am willing to stain the blood of so many people with one hand? Do you think I am willing to kill the people of that village? ”

Lingyun roared, no longer gentle, pointing at the person opposite, and crying wildly, "It's all because of you!"

"Xiao Han" looked at her hysterical appearance, did not make a sound, just watched silently, his eyes were calm, with an imperceptible tenderness.

Lingyun tilted her head, trying to turn back the tears, she remembered what she had said in front of her father's knee when she was a child, at that time she still thought that she was a carefree official lady, full of admiration for her father, for those uncles and uncles, and really thought that the world was as beautiful as she saw.

- Daddy, Ling'er will also take the top exam in the future, and then, like Daddy, uphold justice for the common people in the world, so that the people's lives will be better and better.

At that time, her father just laughed, but she didn't understand, but now she understands.

What upholds justice, and what is getting better and better? It's all bullshit! Where is justice in this world! Some are just royal power and wealth, some are just swords in their hands, and some are just endless greed and official protection!

What she saw was that the world was full of resentment, that everyone was exhausted in order to live, that those who worked hard to live were regarded as ants, and those who took advantage of it were like fish in water.

What kind of world is this?

Lingyun looked out the window and said in a daze, "Since you chose me, why did you choose the next person? My family is gone, I have no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, no relatives, why should I pay a huge price, but you easily choose someone else, even if you are heaven, you can't." ”

Lingyun looked directly at the person opposite, the tears were not dry, and said word by word, "My life is in my own hands, I just want you to know, even if you are the sky, even if it is the blue sea and red maples, as long as I Lingyun does not retreat, no one can replace me." ”

"Xiao Han" suddenly realized, but nodded, and suddenly chuckled, "I know, so that's the case." ”

Saying that, the man left quietly, and the woman's clear eyes became cloudy again, until Songzhi pushed the door, and the woman just looked out the window, not knowing why there were tears on her face.

Palace

In front of the red-clothed official, the doors of the palace were opened one after another, and they were closed again after the two passed.

All the way to Weiyang Palace, not only Li Xiangqing, but even Xia Shiwen, a palace man who had to walk in the palace many times in the past, couldn't help but panting, and when he arrived outside Weiyang Palace, he took a few deep breaths before he dared to knock on the door, "Your Majesty, Lord Li has arrived." ”

A voice came from inside, "Come in." ”

Li Xiangqing saw the door being opened from the inside, lifted the corner of his clothes and walked in.

Yucang City

The eight-hundred-mile Lancang River is vast and vast, but at this moment it has become the strongest wall in Yucang City, not because of the natural danger of the Lancang River, but because the woman single-handedly built the ice wall of the eight-hundred-mile Lancang River, and an ice wall is across the river, even if the people on the other side want to cross the river, they are helpless.

The woman sat on the bank of the Lancang River, the blue light slowly passed from her body, reinforcing the strong city wall, and the Yucang City not far behind her was still safe, but countless officers and soldiers couldn't help but gasp.

Suddenly, I understood why those people were treated so much better than these ordinary officers and soldiers, but there were also new doubts.

Chiyoko was the first to turn around, looked at the ice wall more than ten miles away, frowned, and wondered,

"Since she has such ability, why didn't she help those troops in the first place? How could there be such a bleak scene in Liqing today?"

This time, Tanaka, who had always been impulsive, said with some emotion, "I have heard the people of the Holy Lord Hall say that the reason why the people and gods will guard this land is because of the demons, and because of the agreement reached with the demons, the aliens of the Li Kingdom are not allowed to participate in the struggle of mortals. Maybe that's what they say, if there is a gain, there must be a loss. ”

Chiyoko was slightly stunned, looked at the ice wall in the distance, and muttered, "What will happen if you interfere like this?"

Tanaka hesitated, "I don't know very well, it's just that the source of the energy of the supernatural is the aura between heaven and earth, and the aura of this land has become strange because of the existence of human gods and contracts, I just feel that the strength of that person has become weaker and weaker, and it seems that the aura between heaven and earth is no longer willing to supply her." ”

Chiyoko was shocked in her heart, looked at the increasingly condensed ice wall in the distance, and said with some emotion, "With your own strength, in exchange for the peace of the Lancang River, if it were you, would I do this?"

Tanaka smiled bitterly, "It's not that I can't do it, but I can't do it." ”

Chiyoko also came to her senses when she heard this, and then she sneered, shook her head, and turned around and continued to escort the people with Tanaka to Yanagi City.

On the tower of Yucang City, a young man with short gray hair looked at the woman in blue in the distance, and the first time he saw her was in the prime minister's mansion in Yandu City, because of the earl's fiancée.

At that time, he was still wondering why a woman wore men's clothes and was partial to women.

Later, in the Land of the Dark Moon, at the Earl's command, he led the Captain and the ordinary human to the banquet hall, when he sensed that if the Count did not give her an explanation, the woman would go on a killing spree.

And all this seems to have a lot to do with that ordinary human being.

This is the third time, next to the Lancang River, outside Yucang City, the river is vast, but there is no extra power of heaven and earth for her to use, and she can control it. Only the power that Hailing Jialan gave her.

But no matter what, the figure of that man remained as unmoving.

The defense of Yucang City has been reinforced, and the monsters on the other side of the ice wall have been colliding with the ice wall between the two banks with many monsters from nowhere, but they have broken a line again and again without accident, and have been repaired again and again.

I don't know how long it took, it got dark, and the stars moved to the night of the Midyear Festival, and there were more things on both sides of the river, this time it was not only the demons, but also those souls.

Because of the influence of blue light, many souls were absorbed by the ice wall, but there were still many rushing towards Yucang City, as for whose handwriting, Lu Yue didn't know, he just took out the sword that Tao Ziyuan handed over to him, and split the powerful soul that came straight to him with a sword.

A miserable scream sounded in the sky above Yucang City, and everyone in Yuxia Temple, including the soldiers of Yucang City, raised the blades in their hands that had been infused with Dao Law and slashed at those greedy and evil things.

It's just that when the powerful people are tired after all, an hour has passed, and those things have increased instead of decreasing, and the soldiers on Yucang City have gradually become tired, and there are always places that can't be taken care of, and more and more people have been injured, injured by those things that have no body.

And at this moment, a crisp flute sounded, and the corner of the blue-clothed woman by the river raised a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and at the same time, the middle-aged man who gradually walked up to the city tower looked at the eight hundred miles of Lancang River outside the city, and said silently in his heart - Midyear Festival, the ghost door is wide open, and dealing with these is not a human battle.
