In addition to the homeless westerners, there were also some madmen and fools who had also slipped into the gates of this once largest city in the Northern Regions, and the old beggar who suddenly appeared in the city read countless sad and sad words.

Like a scarred bereaved dog, he bites at sight, staring directly at everyone who approaches him with a cloudy gaze, repeating the word drama drama to them.

The old man suddenly dropped the broken bowl and knelt on the ground with a painful face, and repeatedly slapped the land that had been trampled by the Yinguo Iron Horse with his thin palm.

I don't know how long it took, but the old man was kneeling in the direction of the palace to the west, singing generously with his bare chest, sad and dazed, and his face full of pain.

The iron hooves of the Yin Kingdom will trample the rivers and mountains in the west to pieces, and the sons and daughters in the west will be crushed to pieces!

In the west, there was the world's first sword-casting technique, there was the famous Qin Immortal Li Shu in the Northern Regions, there was the sword god Guan Changye who shook the world, He Nai Cangtian was jealous of my face, Chen Pingping, the queen of the west, Huang Pingzhi, who was known as the half-step Confucian saint, Helian Shanxue, who did not lose the sword god, and the three thousand swords served the world, and the Xilin Sword Library, which had the most fallen god steel swords in the world...... A thousand-year-old country was destroyed in one day.

When the west was at its strongest, the Yinguo was just an ant under his nose, a chicken rib that was tasteless and abandoned, and he couldn't even talk about the qualifications to be an opponent.

The old man looked at the palace and wept, Xilin was dead, and the people in this city were just wishful thinking, he stopped the lyrics, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

Everyone thinks the old man is a madman, but Guan Changye knows who he is and what he has done.

Wang Ruoxian, people from Jianghuai County in the west, born in the Shu clan, weak in childhood, studied hard for more than ten years, at the age of eighteen, he was admitted to the Jinshi as an official, and was promoted to the Shi clan by the then Prime Minister Li Cao, who served as a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and then moved to the cabinet as the second assistant, and served as the first assistant of the cabinet in the year of establishment, all military and political affairs were presided over by Wang Ruoxian, pacified the rebellion in Huainan in the west, and put the head of the rebel vassal king in front of the emperor's eyes, so that the court in the west was solemn, under his one-handed control, the west entered the situation of the spring of the prosperous era, he was given the honorable honor of the emperor Subei County, who did not kneel and talked on the couch。

And the year he said goodbye to the old man and returned to his hometown, it happened to be the year when the new emperor Su Shuntian ascended the throne as the emperor, if he knew what happened later, I am afraid that this old man would rather die in the court than prevent Su Shuntian from establishing the supreme sword arsenal beyond everyone's imagination.

When the west was about to die, he watched the Yinguo Iron Horse galloping and slashing on the streets of the big red city, watching those good men and women die one after another under their iron hooves, together with his descendants and grandchildren also died in the city, without a monument and no grave, and was wantonly burned by the torches in the hands of the iron cavalry, at that time he was sitting at the door of his house and watched the Xilin Palace in flames, the old man went crazy, went crazy for ten years, and escaped for ten years.

With the death of many heroes and generals in the west have been forgotten by history, the people of the world only remember a sword god who crisscrossed the world and a crazy king, but those fascinating ministers and famous generals have been erased by history.

Now that the Great Red City is thriving again, this sense of disillusionment overwhelms the old man, and it is difficult for a ghost living in the past to accept all this.

But the reality is right in front of you.

The old man wiped away his tears, his fingers trembling and pointing to the palace, his blind eyes wide.

"You're all a bunch of actors...... When the west is about to die, some people close their eyes and don't look at it, some people pretend to be crazy and stupid, and some people kneel down to seek glory, and my king is just dead and blind!"

Guan Changye became more and more silent, he suddenly remembered a lot of past events, he lost his parents when he was young, relying on two iron swords to break through in the west to make a name for himself and survive alone, after going through hardships to the extreme, he met Su Shuntian, in his opinion, since he chose this king, he should die for him in front of the temple, but he left Xilin for Zhao Xi, abandoned his king, and even when the country of Xilin was ruined, he covered his wounds and hid in the corner and looked sad, his daughter's eyes pierced his heart again and again, what about the sword god?

The man squinted and pretended to sleep.

Now he sits in the Great Red City to protect the woman in the imperial robe, and he has made a pact with a young man that he will stay by the woman's side for the rest of his life until he dies, and will not leave the Great Red City an inch.

He was willing to draw the ground as a prison, and the middle-aged man picked up the two heavy swords, left the humble alley, and walked with the sword.

The man remembered the extremely depressed rivers and lakes when he was young, and he didn't have the demeanor of a sword god at that time, and he dared to rush up to fight with others with two broken iron swords, dreaming that one day he would become a hero and a great sword fairy, rather than a half-hung person who couldn't even be called a swordsman.

But many years later, after defeating Zhao Xi in the sky above Luoyang City, he was named the god of the sword god of the west, only to find that the previous rivers and lakes were much more nostalgic than the current decisive battle under the clouds.

That year, the woman in red broke her double swords after her seven swords, Guan Changye remembered her face when she was defeated, and she was not miserable and desperate, but looked at herself with a radiant look, and said with a smile: "There is you in the world, Guan Changye, the sword is endless, and it is extremely fast!"

Guan Changye walked up to the blind old man, put his hand on his shoulder and whispered: "Old Shoufu, as long as I stay alive for one day, Xilin will never be violated by anyone on our land again, even if Chu Xiaohua wants to come in, he has to ask me about the sword in my hand!"

The old Shoufu looked at the man, trying his best to widen his eyes, and there was gloom and loneliness in his cloudy eyes, and there were all feelings of remembrance and sadness.

"You know who I am......"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath: "Of course I know who you are, but this eggless world doesn't know." ”

"It's you...... You're alive, you're him. ”

"Yes, I am him. ”

The man turned his back to the old man and closed his eyes.

After a while, Guan Changye, who was unparalleled in the world and dared to fight the Heavenly Gate, seemed to have become the high-spirited young swordsman when he was young, carrying two swords empty-handed, and the sword qi around his body splashed everywhere, like clouds and mist, and then rose to the sky!

Guan Changye said loudly: "Sword up!"

The word was so strong and stirring that even the young woman sitting on the royal chair could hear it clearly.

At this moment, all the weapons and swords abandoned in the corner of the city rose into the air and flew to the top of Guan Changye's head, covering the sky.

Immediately afterwards, these swords rushed towards the city at the same time, and countless people in the city looked up in unison, only to see a green shirt rising from the ground and falling towards the city wall, falling together with the thousands of swords, and inserting them into the city wall.

"Sword Fall!"

It's like the final word.

The sword aura is extremely powerful, and it is absolutely unimaginable.

"From now on, I will only guard the country for the west, and make an oath of three thousand long swords, the sword is in the people, and the sword will break and the people will die!"

This time, the sword god Guan Changye in the west set up the head of the sword city again.

There is a sword god in the west, and the swordsman is unparalleled.

......

......

......

......

Family.

This is her home, once the most powerful Xilin Dynasty in the Northern Regions, the palace under her feet can be said to be the pinnacle of the palace so that every outsider standing in front of the palace gate has the idea of only kowtowing and not daring to look up, it is really prosperous!

This young woman in a red robe sits in a lakeside pavilion, surrounded by no one and silent, and he casually spills a piece of bait, and he can usher in the picture of thousands of carp competing for food like blood and water.

It has been nearly a year since I came back to Dahongcheng, and every time I come to this place, I always feel at a loss, no matter which young man or woman in this palace sees her, she will be in awe, and she will kneel on the ground and call herself Her Majesty the Empress.

Now I will sit on that chair every day to accept the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials, most of these officials are from the Yin country, and a small number of them are the remnants of the former dynasty who returned from the mountains and forests, such as the old lady Zhong Zeyi, who plunged into the mountains and forests to retreat after the tragic death of his wife and children in the west, and never heard of the affairs of the world. can learn that after Su Changyan returned to the west, the old man resolutely came out to assist the first female king in the history of the Xilin Dynasty.

Perhaps it was Su Changyan's courage that moved the dying man, the old man faced the increasingly strong royal atmosphere on the girl's body, from the beginning of the restraint to the current skillful Ruyi, from the difficulty of lifting the pen to the current review of the folding pen and walking the dragon and snake, it can be described as a thousand miles a day, so that the old lady can not find the slightest flaw, so that he is willing to die in the court, never leave the big red city half a step.

But there are still people with bad intentions who say that Su Changyan is the daughter of the Mad King, and one day she will become the same scourge to the people of Xilin as the Mad King.

What makes those loyal people feel even more sad and indignant is that some people rumored that she was a puppet raised by Chu Xiaohua, after the Xilin rebels led by Su Changqing failed to compete for the sword storehouse, Chu Xiaohua executed the real Su Changyan, and casually found a woman with a similar appearance to her and sent her to Xilin, using the intention of recovering the country to envelop the Xilin refugees and prevent them from having the intention of rebellion.

Later, a middle-aged man walked out of the palace with two long swords, and someone later told him that the man cut down a dozen prodigals who repeatedly spread rumors about his unknown origin in one go, and hung their heads on the city gate with his own hands, and after that, no one dared to slander his life experience casually.

In addition to him, there are people in this city who are willing to protect themselves from the bottom of their hearts.

A graceful and beautiful spring rain was sprinkled timidly in the big red city, which was much more comfortable than the majestic spring thunderstorm.

This small and delicate five-finger lake has always been like a forbidden place in the palace, idlers and miscellaneous people are not allowed to trespass, occasionally there are palace maids who pass by from a distance to see the woman who sits by the lake to feed the fish, and the red-robed woman has a breath that rejects people thousands of miles away to make them feel awe.

She is probably used to being a maid, and now that she is an emperor, she doesn't know what to do when she is free, so the woman takes off her shoes, revealing her beautiful jade feet to pluck the lake.

She didn't appreciate the beautiful lake scenery brought by those big red blood carp, but looked at the emerald jade ring on her wrist obsessively, as if she was wandering thousands of miles.

She remembered many, many things, that in the small courtyard, which was far less comfortable and gorgeous than the dormitory where she lived now, there was also such a carp pond, and when she sat by the pool with a little boy three years younger than her to feed the fish, and there were two girls of the same age who always fought a little more for the little boy to like.

The little boy always smiled so happily, at that time she only felt how good it would be for time to stop here forever, the little boy's laughter was so warm and satisfying to her, much better than the feeling of being alone now.

The current court in the west is much more deserted than the scene of thousands of ministers gathering when he was a child.

When she sat in that chair every morning, she always felt stranger to the people below her, who looked at her with awe, and in that golden hall she had to deal with the affairs of the whole of the west, and the twists and turns flew into her hands like snowflakes, for certain things that she could not decide.

The ministers like to use quarrels to solve problems, the old lady said that the real Ming Jun should not block the mouths of the courtiers, it is normal for quarrels to occur in the court, but they always quarrel with red faces, it seems that as long as the voice is loud enough, the truth is hard, everyone's statements are reasonable, making it difficult for them to find fault with them, more often just silent.

She didn't understand what those people were arguing about, and she didn't understand a lot of things.

Just as when she and Guan Changye came back to Dahong City together, those westbound refugees who had returned to the city earlier than themselves knelt at their feet, crying so heartbreakingly, kowtowing repeatedly until their faces were covered with blood, but their eyes were so gratifying.

There were many things she didn't want to and didn't understand, just as she didn't want to leave him, but he didn't seem to want to be himself, and insisted on letting himself go home and see.

She didn't understand many things, but she still understood his words, and told herself that she must listen to him, because she was his maid, and the maid should listen to her master.

Just as she was trapped in this city, drawing the ground as a prison, as if freedom would not be free.

At this moment, above his head, a falcon flew by, leaving a loud eagle chirping, flying into the distance where he could not see today.

The woman by the lake said softly with a confused look in her eyes: "It's really lonely." ”

No one answered.

She lowered her head and played with the jade ring on her wrist and snorted: "Anyway, everyone has their own work, Your Highness, it's good that you are happy, I am very safe here, no one forces me to do anything, and I don't have to help you with laundry, cooking, and folding quilts, everyone lives easily, what is not satisfied?"

"You said you don't want me to feel guilty because of my brother's life, and you don't want to watch me live in Lin'an City until my hair turns gray and I can't go home to take a look, but I also have ideas, I also want a home, and I also want to live a life of husband and children, but there are some things you don't give me, and I don't dare to ask you to take them. I'm not only a coward, I'm also a fool, I can't compare to those maids of pomegranate bamboo, I can't compare to a woman like Guan Ju, I can't even compare to a woman from Qinglou, my relatives are all dead, except for the name Su Changyan, I have nothing, like this, I really don't have the qualifications to like you, and I don't deserve you to like me. ”

"I'm going to die someday. ”

She wasn't scared, she wasn't worried, she was just a little aggrieved.

After saying these words, she remembered the small bamboo forest planted in front of her house, even if she now has the entire Xilin Dynasty, she still feels that only the bamboo forest that Chu instantly summoned to her is hers, what Xilin Empress, what the rise of the restoration of the country, is very strange to her, and she has never been happy in the big red city.

She swallowed her breath and put on the embroidered shoes that did not conform to the etiquette of the dynasty, feeling a little melancholy for no reason.

She misses him so much.

Footsteps suddenly appeared behind her, she took a deep breath, turned around with a smile, and saw the face of the kind elder, and her face was a little happier.

The old man gently put down the two heavy swords, this reborn Xilin Sword God, in the hearts of the entire Xilin people, everyone felt admiration from the bottom of their hearts, and the man sat beside her very invisibly.

The two sat side by side, looking like a father and daughter from a distance.

Su Changyan leaned on his shoulder, his face was bright, and Guan Changye couldn't stop talking, speaking of which, it was also a matter of being young and rotten grains.

Su Changyan looked at the lake and was stunned.

The young woman suddenly asked, "Uncle Guan, do you regret meeting Aunt Zhao?"

The man smiled bitterly: "How can it, when I first met her, I was beaten by her and my nose was swollen, the world thought that Zhao Xi and I met for the first time in Luoyang City, in fact, the two of us met in a small winery in Huaigu Pass, at that time, the lady was so big and asked us all to get out, saying that the smell of wine on our body smoked her, Lao Tzu was not happy on the spot, rushed up to reason with her and was beaten by her to make me miserable, she was really a little heartbroken...... Your Majesty, if you really like someone, you won't say that you regret it. ”

Su Changyan lowered her head, her eyes were a little aggrieved, and the warm sunlight shone on her face that had brought disaster to the country and the people.

Guan Changye looked at her face, a trace of guilt and emotion appeared in his heart, as if he remembered something, pulled down his face and said gloomily: "That dead boy kidnapped my daughter to where I don't know, next time I see him, I must clean up and relieve my anger." ”

"Does Uncle Guan know what he's doing now?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said: "I didn't want to disturb Your Majesty's fishing, but I still want to tell Your Majesty that the minister got the news not long ago, that kid is now the son of Yinguo, maybe we should go to Lin'an City of Yinguo to watch the ceremony, but the minister knew that the matter of the court meeting made His Majesty a little anxious, so he simply didn't tell His Majesty." ”

Su Changyan nodded, when Emperor Yinhuang Chu Xiaohua promised his son to return the jade seal to Su Changyan, in addition to placing a large number of Yinguo iron horsemen in Xilin Jianzhou to let them guard Xilin, he returned most of the power of this country to her, even if he was appointed by the courtiers of the territorial division, he didn't bother to ask.

The scale of this court meeting will not be too large, and to put it bluntly, it means that the strength of all parties who are now eligible to get a piece of the pie will seek common interests together.

Su Changyan didn't expect these people to help him, but he hoped that he could twist them into a rope, and now Xilin could no longer withstand any turmoil, except for the supreme sword sect wavering, and after the heavy blow of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, the Duanmulin family and the Murong family, which were once second only to the four major families in Xilin, had already expressed their loyalty to themselves.
