The boy didn't know how many people he had killed, and perhaps some more.

The halo released by the Eastern Emperor Bell was finally exhausted, and no more fire meteors were falling in the sky, but the city was still burning, and he finally stepped into Yan Fu's palace, the ground was so hot that it was impossible to walk barefoot, but the iron boots he wore made him feel the scorching heat.

Chu Xianzhao stopped in front of the palace gate, looking at the palace that was burned by the flames, and the flames washed away all the sins and beauty.

Before the Yinguo Iron Cavalry came to the city, this palace was so beautiful, spring and summer are the two best seasons for Yan Fu, the occasional rainstorm will cast a cool spell on the rest of the city, the children stepped on the wooden boots and raised the lotus leaves to run in the city, there are few cloudy days in the rest of the city, the appearance of heavy rain and sunny days is so abrupt, but the rain and sunshine are the best of the year.

The palace is located in the heart of the city of rest, and the entire palace is surrounded by a long river, unlike the walls of the Lin'an Palace, most of the palace is hidden in thick black walls, which are planted with various ancient trees, large green areas, and carefully carved dragon pines.

Chu Xianzhao suddenly remembered that the book recorded that there is a golden chrysanthemum field that stretches for thousands of acres in the city of rest, Yanyu people have always liked chrysanthemums, the emperors of the past dynasties let the gardeners plant all kinds of chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum fields outside the city, the variety is breathtaking, and the residents of the city of rest will go out of the city to enjoy the colorful chrysanthemum fields in the spring, and some people even call the city of rest the golden chrysanthemum city.

He walked into the Yanfu Palace, and found that this palace is so beautiful, compared to the simple and ancient fragrance of the Lin'an Palace, the pillars and beams of the palace are inlaid with various gems and pearls, and any one is dug down and taken out is a priceless existence, and the color of the jade floor under his feet is dreamy, making him feel as if he has stepped into the place where the gods and Buddhas live.

Looking at the golden fountain that no longer spewed water, he was like a mortal who had strayed into the gate of heaven, like this earthly heaven groaning in pain, he watched the tall good wood collapse after being blackened by the flames, splashing a large spark like a firefly, after that, the bead curtain and the gauze swayed in the fire phoenix, like a woman's graceful figure swaying in the wind.

Today, the city will belong to him alone, and as King Huailing said, he will conquer this thousand-year-old city as a king.

He passed through the stairs and arches to the high point of the palace, and the boy turned to look, in this burning city, where the dark iron horsemen haunted the city, and the iron horsemen of the wind eagle easily destroyed the city's defenses, and the palace was as empty as if there was no one in it.

Where did the guards and palace maids go?Chu instantaneously thought to himself, it wasn't until he stepped on an uneven ground that this question was explained, he found that his feet were full of corpses, the palace maids and the guards hugged each other in an extremely intimate posture, he looked up at the empty dome, the burnt beams smashed these poor people to death, and he stepped on them.

In this way, they regard the palace as their own life

, and in the end should die for it.

Stepping on the tired bones, Chu Xianzhao finally came to the place where the emperor usually went to court, this gold-walled palace is made of pure gold, as a symbol of the supremacy of the country, as now, the entire palace is in flames, but this palace will not be destroyed, this is the symbol of imperial power!

A pungent puff of smoke and dust came to his face, Chu instantly summoned his sword to kneel, coughed heavily, and his chest was full of the smell of blood, he thought to himself that it would be good to take a few more steps, just hold on a few more steps, the emperor must be waiting for him on the throne, he needs to find that luxurious and extremely luxurious chair the most, and cut off Chai Longxiang's head with a sword, and he can rest.

But he couldn't walk anymore, the golden palace was full of charred black and blood-stained footprints, and through the thick smoke, he clearly saw that there was indeed a person sitting on the throne, and that person must be Chai Long's appearance! He could feel the qi flowing in that person's body, and he was a person with the king's breath just like himself.

Chu Xianzhao no longer had the strength to walk, holding a sword in one hand, dragging an injured leg and slowly propping it in, that posture was like a beggar begging, he slowly passed through the thick smoke, and came to a distance of about ten steps from the jade steps, he raised his head and looked at the extremely beautiful woman sitting on the throne, the woman lowered her eyebrows, and suddenly found the child who appeared in front of the throne, the woman was slightly taken aback, and then resumed her demeanor above ten thousand people.

The woman was wearing a wide and gorgeous phoenix robe, with a delicate golden hairpin on her head, and her sideburns were extremely delicate like a roll of silk spread in a man's hand, Chu Xianzhao looked at her eyes, and subconsciously remembered the young slave sister who was far away in the west, she and her eyes were the same, with heart-wrenching beauty and fragility, Chu Xianzhao dropped the dragon bird sword and sat on the ground and asked in a low voice: "You are the beauty of the world?"

"It's me. ”

Chu Xianzhao nodded, but he was still a little disappointed, Hua Youyue had told him how exciting this woman looked, even the Lotus County Lord who was overwhelmed by the country admitted that he was not as good as Queen Yanfu, but the woman in front of him did not make him feel tempted, not to mention with a seductive desire to conquer, the queen actually had a baby face similar to herself, and with a pale complexion, she looked like a thin girl, the same as Su Younu.

The queen's face reminded him of the first time he saw Su Younu, those deer-like eyes were as deep as the sea, but the reason why they were deep was only to hide the sadness in his eyes, as well as the bitter hatred.

"Are you here to kill me?" the woman asked.

"I don't want to kill you, many people have asked me to persuade me to spare your life, but someone has a letter telling me to kill you all, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one alive. Chu Xianzhao lowered his head, perhaps reaching the end of his journey, but for some reason he was not sitting on the throne but the empress, which made him confused.

"Did Nari's army lose?"

"There is no doubt about it, Your Majesty, your tactics have taken us by surprise, Lian

I almost died in Storm Valley, and perhaps now that your soldiers have been wiped out, you Yan Fu no longer have any armed forces. Chu Xianzhao noticed the jade seal in her hand, and the queen also noticed his gaze, and said in a serious tone: "So many people died, just for this broken stone?"

After saying that, she put the jade seal on the armrest of the throne and stood up, Chu Xianzhao admitted, "I also think this is ridiculous. ”

"I've heard of you, your eyes are purple, but I didn't expect you to be so young?"

"It's me, I don't need your forgiveness for me, and I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness, I'm here to bring the victory of the war back to my country, including the chair behind you. Chu Xianzhao pointed out, and the queen said softly: "But you can't bring the throne back to Yinguo, this chair and this palace are connected together, what you want, come and get it yourself." ”

What do you want, come and get it yourself, at the same time that the queen said this, that shocking beauty reappeared on her face, Chu Xianzhao's throat was dry, and a blood qi accumulated in his chest, but he didn't dare to approach the woman who was as bright as a rose, even if she was so beautiful, it made him have a huge possessiveness.

The queen smiled softly, with a hint of imperceptible charm in her smile, and the laughter like a yellow warbler echoed in the empty hall: "You are still a child, you are afraid of taking away a woman like me, or are you afraid of this chair behind me, you have actually won, everything in Yan Ying is yours, what are you afraid of?"

Chu Xianzhao was silent and asked her another question: "Where is the emperor?"

After hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in the queen's laughter, and the big sleeves like bird's wings waved gently against the smoke and dust, and Chu Xianzhao's eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief.

The scene amazed him so much that when the smoke finally cleared, he found a corpse under the steps of the throne, dressed in a white robe like a mourning garment, covered in blood, with the man's fingers crossed and a white chrysanthemum on his chest.

"You killed him! You madman!" Chu Xianzhao took a step back in horror, and suddenly grabbed the dragon sparrow sword on the ground and pointed it at the queen, the queen shook her head and said in a hoarse voice: "How could I kill him? ”

Chai Longxiang is dead! Chai Longxiang is dead! He should have been killed by his own hands, Chu Xianzhao's shoulders trembled, and the queen explained with a chuckle: "He doesn't dare to face you, he is also afraid to face me, die and die, anyway, he will die after that, and I will do the same." ”

Chu Xianzhao sat on the ground again, and after being silent for a while, his gaze calmly fell on the queen's pale and bright face, and suddenly roared loudly: "You are really a bunch of crazy people, you should have accepted that letter of discussion, you used the Eastern Emperor Bell to kill tens of thousands of our soldiers! You deserve to die just like your husband!"

The queen looked at Chu Xianzhao's face, her bright eyes were slightly fluorescent, and after Chai Longxiang's death, the royal breath on her body rose to the sky,

In the end, she chose the nearest chai lu peony, and after a long time, the queen sighed softly: "Yan Fu actually lost to a child in the end." ”

Chu Xianzhao laughed loudly: "The death of your soldier is meaningless, originally he could have obediently gone out of the city to offer the jade seal to us, as long as you can put down your posture! Many people don't have to die, do you care so much about the chair under you? Even if you die, you have to die next to the throne?"

Queen Yan Yan shook her head: "You are still a child." ”

"You can laugh at my age, but you can't deny your failure and stupidity! Is this all you want? The country is ruined, the family is broken, the mountains and rivers are broken? Chu Xianzhao asked her in a cold voice.

The queen smiled dumbly: "What do I want? I'm just a woman, the so-called beauty of the world is still a powerless woman after all, I just want my country to be safe and peaceful, watching my children grow up little by little, and finally die on a warm bed, that's what I want." Everything that is happening now is imposed on me by this world, and you say I don't want it. ”

Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, looked at her slightly bulging abdomen and asked softly, "You...... Pregnant?"

"yes. The queen slowly walked down the jade steps, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, and her hands were gently and elegantly placed on her abdomen, her big sleeves were lowered, her face was full of maternal brilliance, and her side face formed graceful and gorgeous lines.

When the empress passed by the emperor's corpse, her face was still smiling, and her deer-like eyes were exceptionally clear and moving, as if she was not only the beautiful and unparalleled beauty in the world, but also the weak woman who bowed her head and brows in front of the emperor and begged him to stop the war with tears.

Sadness, pain, stubbornness, anger, these emotions that had once appeared in her heart were completely gone at this time.

She is now just Chai Lumu, just an ordinary woman, a mother with a child, just like all mothers in the world.

The queen walked up to Chu Xianzhao, one standing, the other sitting, she bent down and rubbed the young man's head, with the smell of a sister next door: "You won the country, but you don't look happy, you are angry." ”

Chu Xianzhao closed his eyes: "You didn't see it...... Many, many, many people have died, so what if they win...... They will never come back. ”

The queen walked up behind him and whispered, "Many people have died, but the war is not over. ”

Chu Xianzhao knew the meaning of her words, but this had nothing to do with her, the current victory was theirs, and the future war was also theirs.

"Until now, many people don't know why His Majesty wants to start a war, if you tell the people the reason, it may make them resist, which is not a good thing, and even makes you Yinguo people puzzled, but it doesn't matter anymore. ”

Chu was confused.

The queen didn't explain anything, but continued: "The Chai royal family has ruled Yanfu for thousands of years and is offered by all the people

Raising for thousands of years, I should also bear the responsibility for the defeat of the people, I was the princess of Yan Fu, and now I am the queen of Yan Fu, the emperor is gone, I know what I should do in the future. The queen smiled as she watched her city turn to ashes in the fire.

"You don't have to die. Chu Xianzhao restrained his expression and took a deep breath.

"Are you taking pity on me? The queen of the west is dead, and the fate is much worse than mine, I thought that a group of wolf-like men would rush in and rape me on the throne, it seems that I was too worried, or I was lucky, to meet you in the end...... Child. ”

Chu Xianzhao stared at her hands stroking her abdomen, and asked, "Why? I won't kill a woman who is pregnant with a child, are you forcing me or are you forcing yourself?" Chai Longxiang is already dead, this matter is over, you present the jade seal to me on behalf of the Yan Yu royal family, kneel down and swear, I can promise you that no one will hurt you, even my father. ”

"You're so nice, you're taking pity on me. But what's the point of me living? I desperately gave birth to a child who won't live more than a day and will die, Chu Xiaohua will not let go of the child in my belly, and you also understand the truth that there are eggs under the nest. The queen sat down, leaned behind him and frowned slightly, indescribably delicate and touching at this time.

She told her own story: "Many years ago, I was just one of the countless girls who were born in the emperor's family, and I didn't know that one day I would become a queen, in fact, our family is not as debauched as you think, Chai Longxiang is my twin brother, he has been blind since he was a child, but he is very good to my sister." ”

"He was born blind, and I am the only one who is close to his sunshine, and when you crave a ray of sunshine so much, you will find that the moral and ethical constraints are so powerless. ”

Chu Xianzhao was silent, Hua Youyue explained a lot to him about the past of this family, but he still couldn't understand what the emperor was doing.

"He has been looked down upon since he was a child, and I didn't expect to marry my brother one day, but I found out that he really fell in love with me, and he didn't even want his own life for me, and we have been living in the criticism of the world until we can no longer live without each other. ”

The queen continued to smile: "But I still don't understand his heart, he puts no less thought on me than the country, and wants to prove to the world that he is worthy of me, not relying on the throne to get me, you men are some stupid people, always think that women want gold and silk satin, in fact, she just wants you a hug, just as he can't leave me, I can't leave him." ”

"He promised not long ago to take down your Yinguo for me, and even removed the word Lin'an from your Lin'an City and replaced it with my name, you men look much more stupid than women, but the stupid things you say still make me so tempting. The queen muttered.

"I don't care what the war wins, I just want to be with myself

My husband and daughter talked and laughed together, and our family of three was safe, that's all. ”

"The man who loves me the most in the world is gone, I still have some things to do, and I don't want them to wait for me down there for so long. The queen stood up and took out a sandalwood box from her bosom, and she slowly opened the box, and inside was a dark elixir, which was black and red in the firelight.

Chu Xianzhao looked at her suspiciously, his eyes fell on the pill between her fingers, and he was slightly stunned, "What do you want to do?"

"Maybe I shouldn't have told you that, I'm sorry. The queen smiled again: "The destroyer of Jing Yanyu - Chu Xuan, the third prince of Da Yin." ”

She shoved the pill into her mouth and bit it hard.

"Don't!" Chu instantly shouted, and pounced on the queen!
