In the next few days, Yun Zhonghe and Emperor Taishang took turns to take care of Prince Zhou Li.

However, Zhou Li still didn't wake up, and he didn't even show any signs of waking up at all.

And above the court, there are more and more people who persuade them. To be precise, this can't be called persuasion, it should be said that it is to ask the emperor to restore the throne.

After all, it looks like Emperor Taishang is almost as young as the previous Emperor Wanyun.

Especially the party of the previous emperor desperately built momentum. I made a mistake in standing in line before, but now of course I am desperately trying to save the Sacred Heart.

Every day, there are people who persuade the emperor to reinstate the throne, and at first everyone was waiting for the crane in the clouds to take the lead, but when they saw that he didn't take the lead, they didn't care so much, and they all went to the table by themselves.

Not only the officials in the court, but also the local officials, and even many people wrote to ask the emperor to be reinstated.

The people from the Rosemary Valley have also returned.

"Emperor Qiqi, Rosemary Valley said that it is okay to cure the disease, but it is necessary to send people over, and the merit coin must be used by the original owner. ”

Hearing this, Yun Zhonghe immediately said: "Emperor Taishang, I will personally send Prince Zhou Li to Rosemary Valley." ”

Emperor Taishang said: "But I can't leave you for a moment." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Now that the emperor has committed suicide in fear of sin, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are united, and the emperor does not have to worry." ”

The Emperor Taishang held Zhou Li's hand and said, "Even if there is only one percent hope, we must work one hundred percent." Now in the big week, only you have the closest relationship with Rosemary Valley, and you have to work hard again. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "This is what the minister should do, the minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are like brothers, in order to save him, of course, we must do our best." ”

Emperor Taishang said: "Okay, then I will send the most elite masters of the Black Dragon Terrace to escort you." ”

..............................

The news of Emperor Wanyun's death is known to many people.

But it didn't cause any waves, as if a wild dog had died, and no one mentioned it.

I can't even say suicide, it's not that someone has given a gag order, not at all.

But I really don't dare to say.

The civil and military officials, all the nobles were completely frightened, and it was the kind of fright that would make you feel creepy nightmares every night when you sleep.

Fearing that they would say something they shouldn't say in their dreams while sleeping, many officials even slept alone and tied their mouths with strips of cloth.

The death of an emperor is not even better than a beggar.

But there are two people who did not die, one is the eunuch Hou Qing, and the other is Hou Ji.

These two eunuchs were once the lackeys of Emperor Wanyun, and Hou Ji even abused Emperor Taishang, and everyone thought that these two people would definitely die.

But these two people were only sent to raise flowers, and they were not killed.

So everyone was sighing, the Emperor Taishang is really merciful, and such an enemy can be spared.

As a result, many officials who stood on the emperor's side also relaxed a little and continued to chant that the emperor was the first benevolent monarch in the world.

The Emperor Taishang didn't even kill such an enemy, let alone an official of the court?

........................

In the secret study of the Ao Guo Mansion.

"Xiaoyu, I want to resign and go home. "Yu Zheng Dao in the imperial history.

This old man is extremely upright, and he has not changed at any time.

"I don't know what will become of Da Zhou next, I feel a confusion ahead, as if I take a wrong step and I will fall into the abyss. Yu Zheng said: "It's not that I personally will fall into the abyss, but the entire empire." The old man has always said that he does things with his conscience, does not talk about the great cause of the empire, and does not shout slogans, but now I am really floating in the air, I feel that I can't touch the sky, I can't touch the ground, the surroundings are chaotic, and I can't see anything clearly. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Teacher, Emperor Wanyun was killed by me. ”

Lord Yu Zheng's face twitched, he was a traditional scholar, although he felt that Emperor Wanyun was a faint tyrant, but after all, he was also an emperor, and the courtiers were completely mad when they made the act of killing the monarch.

But open your mouth to scold Ao Yu?!

It was this person who took such a big risk in order to save Su Mang's life. That is, this person, in order to save his parents, risked his life and put himself on the sea of fire at the tip of a knife.

He Yu Zheng was not blind yet, and he knew that the person in front of him was a good boy, and he was not lost in power.

"Teacher, we are facing a thousand years of upheaval. Yun Zhonghe said: "There are many things, I only thought about it not long ago, and I have been trapped in place before, so I can't see clearly." After going to a distant place this time, I saw something clearly, we are facing two thousand years of upheaval. ”

The crane in the cloud repeated.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Teacher, you listen to me, don't resign now." In the midst of this upheaval, the power of the individual is minimal. ”

Yu Zheng looked at the crane in the clouds for a long time and said, "Xiaoyu, I believe you." The old man can't see clearly, so can you see clearly?"

The crane in the cloud said: "I can see half clearly, and most of the remaining half is still in chaos." ”

Then he recalled that at that time it was on the surface of the sea where Shi Bian's fleet was destroyed.

At that time, the waves were stormy, lightning and thunder roared, the sky was dark, and even a 3,000-ton warship was like a leaf.

The feeling of darkness between heaven and earth, invisible, intangible, invisible, and invisible.

I don't know where the ship is going, I don't know what's behind the black fog, hell, or the devil?

Yu Zheng nodded and said, "Then I know, if you say you will resign, then I will not resign." ”

..............................

The next day, the crane in the clouds set off again, leaving with Prince Zhou to the Rosemary Valley for treatment, escorted by more than 5,000 elite warriors.

The Emperor Taishang himself couldn't do it, so he took the hand of the crane in the clouds and sent it out of the palace and out of the capital.

"Child, your crown prince and brother, grandfather will hand it over to you. "The Emperor is on the road.

The crane in the clouds bowed and said, "Yes, Emperor Taishang." ”

Then, Yun Zhonghe left the capital with Prince Zhou Li.

Inside the huge carriage, Prince Zhou Li lay motionless, Yun Zhonghe sat on the left side of the carriage, and opposite was the old and wrinkled Okita Michicho.

After leaving the capital for thirty miles, Yunzhong Crane said: "Okita Daoist, go back, you are indispensable to the emperor." ”

Okita Michicho said, "Sending you a thousand miles, you need to say goodbye in the end." ”

Then, he looked at Prince Zhou Li and said, "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really ill-fated, I hope we can cure him in Rosemary Valley." Ao Guogong, have a good trip. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Thank you, Taoist." ”

Okita Michichi said: "Ao Guogong, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "The Taoist is long, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Okita Michicho said, "Retreat bravely. ”

The crane in the clouds was stunned.

Okita said: "Of course I didn't want Ao Guogong to retire now, I just said that you were too in the limelight before, and you were easy to be framed. ”

Yun Zhonghe bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Okita got out of the carriage, bowed and said, "Then I'll take my leave." ”

Then, the team of cranes in the clouds accelerated, heading towards Rosemary Valley.

....................................

A few days later, the team led by Yun Zhonghe left the Great Zhou Empire.

The next step was to enter the territory of Roulan, and the crane in the clouds couldn't help but think of Princess Wushuang, and in that cave, she kicked the crane in the clouds into the pool with the devil electric fish.

At that time, she thought that the crane in the cloud would survive?

No, she doesn't think so!

Because in everyone's cognition, there is a devil in that pool, and anyone who goes down will immediately be completely electrocuted and then eaten alive.

In other words, Ao Yu does not have much weight in the eyes of this frostless princess, and it can be sacrificed.

Now this frost-free princess is still the vice king of the Roulan Kingdom.

According to Jing Zhongyue's character, she only likes to fight and kill, so the power of this Roulan country must be held by Princess Wushuang alone.

It has been ten months since the last time Yun Zhonghe left the Roulan Kingdom.

As soon as he entered the territory of Roulan Country, the crane in the clouds felt busy.

The road was full of caravans, and there were many castles, many levels.

In less than a year, the country of Roulan has become regular.

Yun Zhonghe didn't plan to go to Roulan City, so he chose a detour.

In the vast Gobi, cranes in the clouds look up at the starry sky and are constantly thinking.

Two thousand years of upheaval are coming.

There was a fog all around, some people could see clearly, but some couldn't see clearly at all.

There are many figures, either with a back or a smiling face, and I don't know if it's a person or a ghost.

The crane in the cloud closed his eyes and continued to think.

In his mind, a picture kept coming to mind.

It was on the stone wall of that rocky island that the picture was scraped off.

Who is this mysterious person who discovered the wreck of the Nu Emperor and entered the cave?

This man had taken almost all the treasure, and he had been so desperate that he wrote something on the cave wall, because it was a desert island, and there were no ships passing by at all, and this man felt that it was impossible for him to leave for the rest of his life.

But then apparently a ship came, perhaps finding a way to leave.

So the man scratched off the words that had been written.

And that picture is firmly in the mind of the crane in the clouds.

Nine Quantum is no longer on him, but after all, he has been staying for a whole year, so Yun Zhonghe has also learned a little bit of supercomputing ability.

In his mind, he recreated the scratched image on the stone wall once again.

Then try to restore, remove the scratched part, and restore the person's handwriting.

The whole process was difficult, and the crane in the clouds has been going on for months, and only the first word has been restored: yes.

Of course, it's just a possibility, and I can't guarantee that it's 100% correct.

Yun Zhonghe had recovered his handwriting as much as he could, and had never seen such handwriting, at least not anyone he knew.

This man's words are very lonely and desperate, but with endless hatred and ambition.

In short, from the words to read people, this is a person with a very complex state of mind.

..............................

Ten days later!

The crane in the clouds once again came to the valley outside the valley of Rosemary, where the warriors of the Great Zhou Empire could no longer enter.

Yun Zhonghe carried Prince Zhou Li to the outside of the cave and shouted, "Master Rosemary Valley, Great Zhou Aoyu asks to see." ”

After a while, a voice came from inside the cave: "Young Master Aoyu, please come in." ”

The crane in the cloud carried Zhou Li into the cave, and soon someone came to pick him up, carried Zhou Li away, and carried the crane in the cloud inside.

It was still dark, and the cave was full of twists and turns.

Soon after, the crane in the cloud came to a familiar place again, that is, in that ward.

"Master, I want to ask Rosemary Valley to treat my Great Zhou Prince Zhou Li, how many merit points do I need?" said the crane in the clouds.

Master Rosemary said, "You don't need any of them. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "What conditions do you need?"

Master Rosemary Valley said: "There is no need for any conditions, we are willing to heal Zhou Li." ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Can it be cured?"

"It needs to be checked first. ”

....................................

Two days later!

Yun Zhonghe asked, "Is the inspection finished?"

Master Rosemary said, "It's done." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Can it be treated?"

Master Rosemary Valley said: "You can try it, I can't guarantee it, fifty percent to fifty percent, wait a month and then look at it." ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Okay, then a month." ”

For the rest of the day, the crane in the clouds was in this dark ward.

Every day, someone comes to deliver food, but they are always out of sight, and they have not left this room, and there is a thatched house not far away, although they can't see it, but they can perceive it to be very advanced and tidy.

And there is bath water every day, all warm.

It's cold here, but it's warm like spring, and the temperature is constant. The crane in the clouds knew that there was lava flowing down here, so Rosemary Valley used this lava for heating.

This is not the real Rosemary Valley, the end of this cave is, but the cranes in the clouds can't go.

And in this month.

The crane in the cloud is almost always recovering the words in the cave in his mind.

What is the use of restoring these words?

The crane in the clouds is now as if in a fog, knowing that it will face two thousand years of upheaval, but it does not know where the exit is, and it does not know whether some people are human or ghosts.

And these words seem to be key information, maybe its light is as weak as a firefly, but in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, this little light may be able to guide the crane in the clouds.

For some reason, in this completely dark environment, the crane in the clouds has a very sharp brain and progresses a lot faster.

It took months before the first word was restored.

In the next month, he restored eight words, which is also because after restoring the first word, the next few words took a lot of detours.

These nine words are: Who knows, the temples are not broken, and the heart is dead!

Of course, the punctuation marks are gone, and they are added by the crane in the clouds.

After recovering these nine words, the crane in the cloud is still in a fog, still unable to see everything around him clearly, and still can't find a breakthrough.

Yun Zhonghe kept facing these nine words in his mind, so the handwriting became clearer and clearer, and he was also searching in his memory, who is this handwriting?

But none of them matched.

And from these nine words, the information that can be obtained is very limited.

First of all, this mysterious person is not very old, so it is said that his temples are not crippled. And the heart is dead, proving that he is desperate in his heart.

This despair is certainly not because you are trapped on the rocky island and can't leave, but because there is another reason, because you have ambitions, but you can't carry them out, and you are in a desperate situation, and you are even more hopeless, so you will write that your heart is dead.

Who is this mysterious person?!

....................................

A month has passed.

Once again, the Rosemary Master is here.

"What is the result?" asked the crane in the clouds.

Master Rosemary said, "I'm sorry, we failed and couldn't save Prince Zhou Li. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Then is he still alive?"

Master Rosemary said, "I'm still alive, but I just can't wake up." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Then what is the hope of his awakening next?"

Master Rosemary said: "I don't know, it's full of infinite chance. ”

The crane in the cloud couldn't help but think of a person, the old city lord of Jing'e, who also suddenly became a vegetative person, until he suddenly woke up when he was dying, and returned to the light.

Master Rosemary Valley said: "If you can, Prince Zhou Li can be placed on our side, and we will continue to treat." ”

The crane fell silent in the clouds.

After a long while, Master Rosemary Valley said, "Young Master Ao Yu, I officially extend an invitation to you on behalf of Rosemary Valley and ask you to join us. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Join you, and then you will not be allowed to leave for life?"

"Yes. Master Rosemary said: "Our core members can never leave, because we know too many secrets! Our core members of Rosemary Valley are almost hereditary for generations, and we almost never take the initiative to invite outsiders to join us, you are an exception." ”

The crane in the clouds was silent.

Master Rosemary said: "In a person's life, how big the world is, does not depend on his steps, but on his thoughts." In our Rosemary Valley, although the place is small, you can go far in thought, and what you can achieve here may be far greater than what you can achieve in the outside world. ”

The crane in the clouds was still silent.

Master Rosemary said, "You are in danger, there is darkness around you, and you can't see anything. There are abysses on both sides, and any single step can be a catastrophe, but at least you will be kept safe in the Rosemary Valley. ”

Yun Zhonghe was silent for a long time, and then bowed down and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the master, I can't repay it, but I still have to go back, Prince Zhou Li will stay in Rosemary Valley, please take care of the master." ”

Master Rosemary Valley was silent for a moment and said, "Young Master Ao Yu, do you know that if you leave my Rosemary Valley, you may be crushed to pieces, and you will never recover? For example, if Emperor Wanyun had died three years ago, he might still have some fame. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "I have already decided. ”

Master Rosemary Valley said: "Okay then, I wish Ao Yu Gongzi a safe life." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Then I will leave." ”

Master Rosemary Valley said, "I'll send Ao Gongzi away." ”

..............................

More than half an hour later, the crane left the cave in the Rosemary Valley and left the valley.

Of the five thousand samurai outside, only five hundred remained, and most of the remaining people had already left.

Stayed in the cave in the darkness for a whole month, and when I came out, I was almost blind.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Prince Zhou Li has not woken up, but I will leave him in the Rosemary Valley to continue treatment, and we will go back first." ”

The strange general said, "Ao Guogong, are you sure you go back alone?"

The crane in the cloud said: "Yes, is there anything you can't do?"

The general said: "Of course you can, go back to Da Zhou!"

Then, escorted by five hundred people, the crane in the clouds left the Rosemary Valley and returned to the Great Zhou Empire.

..............................

Along the way, the crane in the clouds still bypassed Roulan City, and only returned to the capital of the Great Zhou City again after more than 20 days.

It's been three months since I left, and now it's a hot summer, and it's a day in June.

Three months have passed, what changes have taken place in the Great Zhou Empire?

What happened to Fu Yantu? What happened to Ao Dong? What happened to Zhou Li, the second prince?

Completely unknown.

Because during this time, Yun Zhonghe was almost completely isolated from the outside, and even when he was in a hurry, he was alone in the carriage and had no chance to talk to anyone.

When I returned to the capital, it was already midnight.

"The Emperor Taishang has already slept at this time, and the palace gate has been closed, I will go home first, and I will go to see the Emperor Taishang tomorrow morning, how about it?" asked Yun Zhonghe.

The general said: "Obey the order, and the last general will send Ao Guogong back to his house." ”

Yun Zhonghe went home, his parents and sister came to pick him up, and he breathed a long sigh of relief that his relatives were fine.

But Princess Xiangxiang was not there, saying that she was taken into the palace three days ago.

Father Ao wanted to speak again and again, but after all, he did not speak, and the family ate quietly.

"Rest well, you're tired. Ao Xin said.

But when the crane in the cloud had just lay down, a voice suddenly sounded outside, and he hurriedly got dressed.

It's my father Ao Xin, and there is a mirror in the stage!

"My lord, my father wants to see you one last time, saying that he has something important to tell you. "The mirror said.

The crane's face trembled slightly.

Is it finally going to be unbearable? Is it finally going to die?

The crane in the cloud said: "I'll go immediately." ”

Ao Xin didn't say a word, he had to go with his son.

"Father, I'll go alone. "Crane in the clouds.

Ao Xin said: "Are you sure?"

The crane in the cloud said: "Yes." ”

Ao Xin said, "Okay." ”

..........................................

Yun Zhonghe left the Ao Guo Mansion and followed the Taijing to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

"Ao Guogong, I was promoted, and now I am the governor of the capital. "The mirror said.

At this time, the mirror was promoted?

Yun Zhonghe was stunned and said, "That's congratulations." ”

The mirror didn't say anything.

The crane in the cloud suddenly said, "Why is Ling Zun so sudden?"

"This time has been repeated, often unconscious, already in the dying, today I heard that you have returned, suddenly did it suddenly, I am afraid it is back to the light." ”

The crane in the clouds sighed inwardly.

Half an hour later, the crane in the clouds entered the Pingnanhou Mansion of the Shantai family.

Everyone stood outside the courtyard, their eyes sad, obviously waiting for the Tai to extinguish their breath.

Yun Zhonghe saw the duckweed again, although she was not married, but her whole temperament has changed a lot.

Seeing her, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but think of Widow Ning, and Miss Xu Anfei, they were all in the territory of the Daying Empire, and even Miss Xu Anfei still had a child, and now she was five years old, right?

Thinking of this, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.

"Ao Guogong, my father is waiting for you. The mirror bowed, and then opened the door for the crane in the clouds.

Yun Zhonghe walked in, and immediately smelled a strong smell of medicinal stones.

"All of us, go out." ”

Then, he took all the people of the Tantai family out of the courtyard and gave time and space to the crane in the clouds.

..........................................

Inside the room, the crane in the cloud saw a familiar scene.

There is still a waterwheel in the room, and there is a pool, which is exactly the same as that of the city at that time.

It's just that the waterwheel doesn't turn, and the pool is not alive water, because in the Great Zhou Empire, he is just a descendant, and he is not worthy of such extravagance and high-profile.

"Familiar, sir. "Zhan Tai Ming said hoarsely,

The crane in the cloud trembled slightly, and then looked towards the Zhan Tai Ming on the bed.

He was really terminally ill, and when he was dying, only his eyes were red.

And he was tormented by the disease all these years and suffered very much, and at this time he was completely skinny, and his face was blue.

"Lord Crane in the clouds, don't come unharmed. "The Tao of Extinction.

The crane in the cloud narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

"When you treated me back then, I was really impressed by you, you have no flaws, every move, demeanor, appearance, and body are all Ao Yu's, and you can't recognize them at all." But you were the one who rescued me from the near death, and that kind of perception before dying was very special, the kind of temperament on your body, even the occasional eyes, and most importantly, your pupils, I recognized it at a glance, it was so special. ”

Yun Zhonghe was stunned and said, "Are my pupils very special?"

"It's very special, I've read some special books that describe your eyes. ”

Yun Zhonghe didn't think that his pupils were very special, but Princess Wushuang's eyes were a bit like cat pupils because she was a descendant of Emperor Fu.

"Lord Yunzhonghe, my time is running out, I can only say a few words to you." ”

"The first sentence, although I am terminally ill, I can still last for a while, I am committing suicide. ”

Hearing this first sentence, the crane in the cloud couldn't help but tremble, it turned out to be suicide?

"The second sentence, just a few hours ago, someone came to me and asked me, are you really Ao Yu, what is your identity? I betrayed you, I told him that you are a crane in the clouds, and then Yutaijing was promoted to the governor of the capital. ”

Hearing this, the crane in the clouds was very calm.

"Lord Crane in the clouds, aren't you angry? You are kind to the Tai Mirror, but I want to betray you and betray you. ”

The crane in the cloud smiled bitterly and did not speak.

"I once said that I would bring this secret into the coffin, and I didn't even say it to the mirror." I'd rather kill myself than tell this secret and betray you. But...... It was a very special situation because the other side already knew about it. ”

Yun Zhonghe nodded, reached out and shook the hand of Yutai Mingming.

"In the fourth sentence, I can recognize you, and others can recognize you. I know you well, but there is another person who knows you better. Tantai Zhenming said with tears in his eyes: "Lord, Yan Qiqi is not dead, the one who was beheaded that day is a fake Yan Qiqi, just a stand-in." ”

The crane's face trembled again.

Yan stumbled, maybe he had never shown his true face in front of the crane in the clouds.

The appearance of the beggar in the flowery building, as well as the appearance of him and the crane in the clouds when they revealed their identities, this is a man with a thousand faces.

Who is sure that there is no such person in this world?

This is a man with a thousand faces, a master of disguise, not to mention the side of the Moon White Cloud City in the well, the side of Rosemary Valley, and the clever operation.

"The person who came to ask just now is Yan Qiqi. "My lord, although I am old and not as smart as you, I still surpass you in terms of the art of knowing people." I can recognize you, and I can recognize Yan Qiqi. ”

"In the fifth sentence, I can recognize people, but I can't see the world clearly, there is a fog and darkness around me, as if no matter what step I take in that direction, I will be shattered. So in the mirror of the stage, we can't see the road in the future, so we follow a person who can see the road clearly, and that person is you. "So until now, until now, until the future, our Tantai family will be loyal to you." Merely...... I'm so pessimistic, the world is too dark and unclear to be seen at all. ”

The crane in the clouds said: "A thousand years of upheaval. ”

"The sixth sentence, the lord is in danger, there is only a glimmer of life, you are extremely smart, you don't need me to tell you. ”

"The seventh sentence, Yan Ji is ......" Before Tantai Ming could speak, the crane in the cloud clenched his hand.

"Needless to say, I know. Yun Zhonghe said: "Although I know it later, I already know it." ”

"My lord, I once wandered between the Great Win and the Great Zhou, trying to manipulate the two empires, and the result was so miserable. However, at this time, the situation in the world is even more strange and unpredictable, and it is not something that my generation can understand at all, and my Tantai family is not even a chess piece. If there's one lesson I've learned, it's that since I've chosen this path, I'm going to go to the end. ”

"Lord, be careful on the road ahead, there is a danger lurking, you have a glimmer of life, a glimmer of life, I went to ......"

After saying that, Yutai Zhenming slowly closed his eyes and completely lost his breath.

There was a piece of paper in his palm, which was clasped in the palm of the crane in the clouds.

The First Prince of the Borderlands, the tyrant who once wanted to control the world, is dead.

....................................

Bidding farewell to the Tantai family, listening to the sad cries of hundreds of people, the crane in the clouds walked home.

Before arriving home, when a few hundred meters away, a thin figure in front of me stood there, looking familiar and unfamiliar.

"Ao Guogong. The man said lightly.

The crane in the clouds said: "Okita Michicho." ”

The man said again: "Lord Yun, don't come unharmed. ”

The crane in the cloud trembled slightly, and said in his heart: "Lord Yan, don't come unharmed." ”

....................................

Note: These chapters are hard to write until they explode, and each chapter takes hours to conceive.

It's the end of the month, do you still have a monthly pass? Vote for me? Pastry will do its best to serve you.
