"Ah Ying!" Li Chunfeng screamed and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Jin Wuwei, who was holding a spear. He saw that Tang Ying seemed to hear his voice, grabbed the reins and turned his head slightly to look around. Before he could turn to his side, he was called by another rider who came from behind. The man was wearing a round robe with silver-gray dark flowers, a dark gray cloak, and the same elegant and powerful appearance, riding a horse to catch up quickly, and rode side by side with Tang Ying. It is a sanctimonious Ming Chongyan.

He saw Ming Chongyan with a gentle smile on his face, wrapping Tang Ying with his eyes like looking at his wife. And Tang Ying, his beloved wife, also had a sweet smile on her face the moment she turned her head and walked forward.

This sweet smile that poured over the world world broke Li Chunfeng's heart. He didn't want Tang Ying to have a bad life, but he didn't expect that her calm and comfortable would make him feel that there was no need to exist.

Ming Chongyan saw Li Chunfeng standing in the crowd early. So he deliberately told a joke to make Tang Ying happy, thus stimulating him. The possessed evil spirit did not lose its effect, and it was not an accident that Li Chunfeng ran out today, but he arranged it in advance. He knew that mourning was greater than heart death, which was a fierce medicine he gave Li Chunfeng.

In the crowd were his well-arranged thugs. They will not put Li Chunfeng to death, but they will just add to his misery and add a key tragedy. No, a thug took advantage of the crowd to slam Li Chunfeng's aging joints, causing him to fall to the ground.

Tang Ying saw some commotion in the crowd from a distance. I was about to turn my head to look, but Ming Chongyan grabbed the reins from the side, and he said, "Your Excellency has been here for too long. You see, the horse teams of the envoys of the various countries behind have blocked the gate of the West Market. Please continue to move on and not be stranded. ”

Since Ming Chongyan gained Wu Mei's trust, he is no longer a simple imperial doctor, but a righteous doctor. This time, he specially proposed that Tang Ying lead the envoys of various countries to enjoy the customs and festivals of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he doesn't mind what kind of ethnic integration and all nations come to court. His only purpose was to make Li Chunfeng ashamed of himself and disheartened.

Of course, when watching Li Chunfeng fall into the slush and follow Tang Ying with heartbroken eyes like a desperate beggar. His purpose has been achieved.

The mighty convoy marched from the West City towards the East City. The crowd chased and migrated eastward. In the messy snow, Li Chunfeng, who was trampled on several times, was left. It was a kind vendor who helped him up and helped him to sit down by a shop, and he slowly recovered.

Sadness and exhaustion swept over him. Tang Ying was still vividly embraced by the front and back on the horse, and he couldn't lift his head like a thousand catties of boulders. It wasn't until he sat down cold that he staggered to his feet. Like a wandering spirit, he walked slowly towards the small courtyard of Xishan.

Sure enough, seeing is believing, Ming Chongyan didn't lie to him. Tang Ying on the horse is so dazzling, and he is no longer the little girl who wants him to sleep. Now she is a unique phoenix, and she finally left his rotten wood and flew into the vast blue sky.

A few tears of sadness seeped out of the corners of his eyes as he blinked with difficulty, and formed ice ballast in the icy cold wind. He hunched his shoulders, his hands in his sleeves, and moved forward tremblingly. Seeing that they came to the tavern where they often went to buy "Drunken Chang'an", they felt that there were still a few copper coins in their pockets, and they could ask for a bowl of soju to warm up before leaving.

When I walked to the counter, before I could speak, I heard the shopkeeper shout: "It's the old man who asked for food two days ago again." The shopkeeper said that you should not give any more charity, but you will not listen. Look, it's up to us, isn't it? ”

What the? His dignified history was actually regarded as a flower child. At this moment, a man's most important dignity was trampled on. He bit his lip stubbornly, and would rather freeze to death than be treated as a beggar.

The shopkeeper scolded Xiao Er and said, "Why are you so impersonal? There is nothing to lose in giving some food for the New Year. Eh, please stay, old man. ”

Li Chunfeng wanted to pretend not to hear, but he was caught up by the shopkeeper, forcibly wrapped a steamed bun and stuffed it into his arms, and said: "Don't dislike it, don't be disgusted, come to the shop if you are hungry in the future." ”

Li Chunfeng didn't dare to raise his head for fear of being recognized by him, but the old shopkeeper grabbed his wrist and shouted in surprise, "You, are you Li Taishi Li Immortal?" ”

Li Chunfeng felt like he was caught stealing something, and his heart was beating so fast that he was about to jump out of his throat. He didn't know how to answer, how to explain his down-and-out situation, so he could only shake his head vigorously.

The shopkeeper looked at him with a scruffy beard, messy hair, and a half-new robe covered with snow and mud, and soon laughed at himself, "I'm sorry, old man." I really miss an old friend, so I mistook you for him. Please don't be embarrassed and walk slowly. ”

Li Chunfeng didn't dare to raise his head, nodded his head twice in a hurry, and walked out pretending to be down. I only heard Xiao Er behind him ask the shopkeeper, "I said the shopkeeper, that Li Taishi hasn't been here for a long time." Will...... Passed away? ”

"Bah, Hugh is talking nonsense!" The shopkeeper scolded him fiercely, but he also muttered in a low voice, "Alas, this is not good." After all, he is also a mortal ......"

This sentence was brought to Li Chunfeng's ears by the cool breeze, taking away the little warmth left around him. At this time, he really hoped that the possessed evil spirit could come out and bring his old bones back to the Xishan courtyard.

Night. The night when the north wind howled. He lay quietly on the bed, and for a moment he couldn't even tell if he was alive or dead.

It is said that before death, a person's life will pass by like a marquee. At this moment, the scenes from childhood to adulthood are being staged in front of me. First of all, his wealthy family and rich collection of books at an early age created a foundation for him to be erudite and kind; Then he got married and traveled around the world, and finally met the master to teach him about cultivating Taoism; Later, he took over his father's position and became a member of Chang'an Tianguan, and he has been studying and cultivating diligently for decades, and he has never slackened off.

Then, it was Li Shimin, the holy lord in his heart, and Yuan Tiangang, a friend he had known for most of his life. They have been assisting Li Shimin since the time of Li Yuan, experienced a bloody coup d'état and the prosperity of Zhenguan, and formed an organization of Chang'an Guardians. It was a glorious time.

Finally, he saw the little stubborn girl. The child whose angry parents didn't want her became the most delicate flower in the world under his care. Whether it's a king or a talent. Her beauty and goodness impressed everyone. It also became a rainbow, dyeing his life again with beautiful colors. Now...... Where did she go?

The night was spent in a chaotic dream, and he felt as if he had lived again, and he felt long and tired.

He got up and sat straight on the edge of the bed. Looking at his wrinkled hands, he secretly made a decision in his heart.

Now that he has come to the brink of life and death, he has to give it a go!
