The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Jin army returned to the dynasty in a mighty way, on the outskirts of Yicheng, the flags were unfurled, the drums and horns sounded, and the army team that returned triumphantly stretched for dozens of miles, raising billowing smoke and dust, and there was no end in sight.

The hundred officials who greeted the emperor were waiting outside the city early, and the official road was crowded with people who spontaneously greeted him. In the distance, two large flags fluttered side by side in the wind, one was a flag representing the emperor, with gold edges on a black background, embroidered with a five-clawed flying dragon. On the other side is Yan Xu's chief general's flag, embroidered with golden auspicious clouds.

Yan Min wore a big red cloak, sat on a six-horse-drawn golden chariot, the curtain was removed, and the people were allowed to look at the sky. Yan Xu was dressed in silver armor, wearing a silver helmet, and his posture was like a pine, and he rode a tall horse with a golden saddle bridle and walked beside the holy car.

The people who welcomed the people in the middle of the road were very excited when they saw the holy car, and they shouted one after another: "Long live my emperor!" ”

The sound waves poured into Yan Min's originally depleted heart like a tide, as if injecting a trace of vitality, making his already numb body and mind tremble involuntarily due to excitement.

This is his subjects, his home, his country, and all his honor, so how can he be willing to give up this qiē? But he didn't get excited for long, and after those people recognized Yan Xu's handsome banner, they became more and more excited, and shouted in unison: "Long live Yun Shuai!" Long live Yun Shuai......"

The sound was higher and louder than the long live of the emperor, Yan Min's heart was cold for a moment, and Yan Xu's lazy voice suddenly sounded in his ears, obviously the sound around him was like a wave, but his voice was so clear that it brutally crashed into his ears, "Your Majesty, enjoy this moment, this is what the minister won for you...... Final glory. ”

The sunlight was just right, and the armor on Yan Xu's body was shining with silver light, which stabbed his eyes, and the two hands on his knees were clenched tightly, and the thin fingers were distinct.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a grand celebration banquet was held in the palace, the Manchu Dynasty congratulated both civil and military, although the emperor had been captured as a prisoner for a month, but finally returned triumphantly, the officials were interested in avoiding the important and light, and picking up good words to say.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are the father and son of King Rui. During the emperor's expedition, all the courtiers elected King Rui as the regent to take charge of the government, and people with a discerning eye knew that most of this recommendation came from Yan Xu's instructions, but in any case, it was a fact that King Rui acted in moderation and made a decisive decision during his regency. And Yan Xu not only saved the driver, but also destroyed the Wei State in one fell swoop, shocked the Quartet, and made immortal achievements. So everyone took turns to come forward to toast, and the hall was full of laughter and laughter.

Yan Min sat high in the hall, although he tried to straighten his waist, he still had a sick state of being weak and couldn't help the wind. Looking at the hustle and bustle of the hall, and watching Yan Xu being frequently complimented by a group of officials, he only felt that there were all kinds of tastes, and it was bitter and indescribable. Yan Xu looked at him at this time, the corners of his mouth were smiling, his eyes were burning, he raised the wine glass in his hand to show respect to him, Yan Min squinted and saw that a eunuch holding a lacquered gold and wood tray had stood at the foot of the jade steps. The last glimmer of hope was gone, Yan Min felt sad in his heart, took the wine glass on the case, and drank it fiercely.

He slowly glanced at the hall full of civil and military affairs, and said with difficulty: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been in power for a few months, and I have been in danger of being overthrown, but fortunately, thanks to the spirit of my ancestors, I have survived. However, the foundation of my ancestors was almost destroyed, and I was deeply frightened and couldn't sleep at night. The trip of Fu Avenue, the world is public, only the virtuous can do it, so Tang Yao is not selfish, and his fame is infinite. I envy and admire, and now I want to follow Yaodian, Zen is located in the ...... of King Rui"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, and everyone was stunned. It wasn't until the eunuch unfolded the edict and read the edict at the throat of the duck prince that everyone came back to their senses, knelt down one after another, and cried and begged the emperor to take back his fate.

In fact, the most shocking thing is King Rui, he didn't know in advance that there would be such a play tonight, Yan Xu rescued the driver, triumphant class teacher, he was proud of his son as a father, just an ordinary celebration banquet, suddenly heard that the emperor wanted to Zen throne, after the shock, he realized that this was Yan Xu in the dark ghost.

He was shocked and angry, and came out of the crowd and knelt down at the foot of the jade steps, and said loudly: "The minister is afraid, the minister is a person of thin virtue, how can he do this, don't dare to do it, and beg His Majesty to take back his life." ”

While kowtowing, he secretly scolded Yan Xu, an unfilial son, in his heart for putting himself on the cusp, looking back, wanting to pull Yan Xu out and scold him, but found that Yan Xu was no longer in the palace.

At this time, Yan Xu had quietly left the palace, Ye Xuan was already waiting in the carriage outside the palace, he got into the carriage, and ordered Yun Feng to hurry up and go to Dongshi. He promised her that he would take her to the Lantern Festival on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, and when the two of them come to the temple fair in Dongshi, they are already crowded. Yan Xu changed into civilian clothes in the carriage and led Ye Xuan to walk on the brightly lit street, while Yun Wen and other Yun Wei were secretly hidden in the downtown area.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is different from the lantern festival of the festival of the festival, there are no fans of lanterns to guess tonight, the lanterns are sold at a price tag, and the style is more and more exquisite than that night of the festival festival. In fact, the day of extreme yin is coming, and it is really a bit risky to take her out, but at this time, seeing her excited look when looking at those lanterns, he feels that it is worth the risk.

She pulled him to squeeze in front of a shop, "Jinyun, look at that lamp, the hexagonal tassel, doesn't it look like the Guanghan Palace where Chang'e lives?" ”

He smiled and said, "It's a bit like it, if you like it, you can buy it." ”

She pointed to another one, "Hey, that spinning lantern is quite interesting......"

He followed her gaze, "Which one?" Is it the one that depicts a military commander galloping a horse chasing? ”

He hadn't found the marquee she said before, her shining eyes had already looked away, "Ouch, there are more shop lights over there, the rabbit lamp was given to me by His Majesty before, let's go over and have a look." ”

She didn't know about Yan Minchan yet, so he didn't mention it so as not to spoil the atmosphere tonight, and she pulled him to another shop. She pointed out with great interest, and said that the rabbit lamp was better than the craftsmen in the palace, and then said how the cockroach lamp was expressive and interesting. But in the end, when he asked her to choose one, she hesitated for a long time, and then pulled him away with a smile.

He smiled and asked her why she didn't buy one, and she said confidently: "Although you promised to give me the most beautiful lantern in Yicheng, but in my opinion, there is no one that can compare to the daylily lantern you gave me during the Stove Festival last year, which is the only lantern in the world. She paused, as if she remembered something, looked at him and said seriously: "Jinyun, it's better like this, you pick a lamp you like tonight, and I'll give it to you." ”

The lantern of last year's festival was still hanging under the porch outside the door of his study, and after many sleepless nights, whenever he felt distraught, he only stood under the porch for a while, watching the two little crickets jumping among the daylily flowers, and his irritable mood would slowly calm down.

For her, the festival was just a few months ago, but for him, death and death, he seemed to have experienced a lifetime, and she felt that it was a unique lamp in the world, so why not? She wouldn't understand how much the lantern meant to him.

At this moment, he only felt his heart flutter slightly, and he couldn't help but clench her hand, and said softly: "Xuan'er, thank you." ”

There were too many people, she couldn't really hear it, she put her ears together and asked him what he said, her cheeks were red with excitement, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead, and he wiped it carefully for her with a handkerchief, "I just said that I, like you, have the best lamp in the world, and I can't look at anything else." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, watching slowly all the way, and finally she chose a lamp shaped by a white-fronted insect, saying that she was going to give it to Yan Min.

When you arrive, fireworks will be set off at the east gate, and the crowd will gradually pour into the east gate.

An Yi stood under the eaves of an inconspicuous tavern on the corner of the street, her eyes were firmly fixed on the two figures who were far away with the crowd, she held a lantern in one hand, held his arm in the other, chattering all the way, he didn't say much, from time to time he looked sideways at her, his eyes were doting and focused, and he smiled with her brisk words.

The figures of the two gradually drifted apart, and soon drowned in the crowd, the lone wolf-like eyes still staring at the direction in which they disappeared, and the light in their eyes gradually became gloomy and fierce.

"Young master, there is only one month before the day of extreme yin, and it's time to make a choice." Yan Nu didn't know when he stood beside him, and when he saw that he was silent, he said in a deep voice: "It should be interrupted, but it will be chaotic." That woman's heart is no longer in the young master, so why should the young master pity her anymore? ”

An Yi retracted his gaze and said coldly: "Who pities her?" From the moment she left that night, I had nothing to do with this woman. ”

Yan Nu was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, so he guided him step by step, "In fact, Miss Ye has become so ruthless and unrighteous now, the culprit is Yan Xu, moreover, the old slave knows that the young master wants to avenge Prince Wei, but now the day of extreme yin is coming, we should not startle the snake, as long as we get the ten strategies, the young master is the master of the world, what is a mere Yan Xu?" Fuxi gossip is lost and recovered, this is the will of heaven, and if the young master takes the ten strategies, the alien blood and the sacrifice are the same person, compared with others, we have saved a lot of things, it is really the favor of God. Since the heaven-sent opportunity, the young master has no reason to pass by with the Ten Directions. ”

An Yi lowered his eyes, did not say a word, and his jaw tightened.

Yan Nu sighed secretly in his heart, since he killed Yunzhu, although the young master didn't say it, he could feel it, he felt some resentment towards him in his heart, and there was finally a gap between the master and the servant. But he didn't regret it, as early as when he noticed that Yun Zhu had strange thoughts about the young master, he had murderous intentions. He spent his whole life just to assist the young master to get the ten strategies, before he got the ten strategies, he would never allow other women to mess with his mind, the woman he loved could only be the alien named Ye Xuan.

It's a pity that providence makes people, Ye Xuan lost his memory and fell in love with Yan Xu, looking at the young master's suffering during this time, he didn't feel good in his heart, "Young master, you can bear with it again, although we want to use Miss Ye's blood to open the ten directions, but these ten directions are for Emperor Fuxi to leave a descendant of him, since the alien blood is his descendant, how can he bear to let his descendants lose blood and die?" Therefore, the old slave thought that the blood needed to open the ten directions should not be much, and Miss Ye would not worry about her life. At that time, the young master will win the world, Yan Xu will also die, Miss Ye is willing or not, with her weak woman, how dare she disobey the young master? ”

Yan Nu deliberately didn't mention the sacrifice, just because of the fate of the sacrifice, he didn't have a bottom in his heart at all, and he said this just to comfort comfort, so as not to be ruthless to Ye Xuan.

An Yi finally raised his head and glanced at Yan Nu expressionlessly, his eyes were full of coldness, "Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me." He turned around and left, and after taking two steps, he added, "On the day of extreme yin, I will wait for you in the ten directions." ”
