Chapter 29: The Finale (Part II)
At this moment, Feng Zhi was crying in the Shunyi Palace, and Princess Shaoning was also crying in Jingzhai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
She sat there dejectedly, not crying, but tears flowed silently, falling between her sleeves, and her green clothes gradually turned black.
The palace people who were waiting for her were still there, but they didn't dare to approach, afraid of her temper, and pity for her plight, they didn't know what happened during the day, but it was obvious that the princess had lost power, so she naturally avoided it.
Shao Ning didn't pay attention to it, she had lost everything, where did she care about these cold receptions.
But there was a soft sound of footsteps.
Shaoning's eyes lit up, and without waiting for the palace maid to greet the door, he struggled to rush over and open the door, shouting, "Father, you are still here-"
Her words stopped suddenly.
It was Ning Ji who came with the child in the night.
The blush of excitement that had just surged up slowly faded, and was replaced by a bluish white, Shao Ning stood in a daze against the door frame, and said hoarsely for a long time: "...... Tenth brother. β
Ning Ji looked at her with pity, entered the door with the child in his hand, waved away the palace maid, held her shoulder, and said softly: "Zhao'er, I'll come to see you." β
Shao Ning looked up at him, she and this brother studied together in Qingming, and had the best friendship, looking at his gentle eyes, her tears rolled down instantly, and she grabbed his sleeve, "Tenth brother...... You help me go and tell my father, I was killed, I was killed, how could I not be his daughter? No, no, no, no! β
Her sudden madness frightened the child, the child cried loudly, Ning Ji hurriedly wanted to squat down to appease, but was dragged by Shao Ning, so she had to use some strength to break her hand away first, and said: "Zhao'er, don't get excited, take your time ......", picked up the child and coaxed gently.
Shao Ning was pushed away by him, took two steps back, and said sadly: "Tenth brother, don't you believe me anymore?" β
Ning Ji looked at her in embarrassment, he didn't think so much, what is the true and false princess of Dacheng Yu, no one can accept it for a while, he believes that His Majesty just has to calm down and think about it first, more than 20 years of love, it will not be wiped out in one day, but he can't say anything, so he has to step forward and gently wipe her tears, and said: "Sister, don't think too much, wait, my father will have a ...... of kindness."
"Brother Ten." Shao Ning was motionless and let him wipe his tears, and suddenly said strangely, "Don't you think that everyone is doing everything?" Over the years, the children who are loved by the emperor have withered one by one, and now, it's just my turn...... Tenth brother, I know that you have a good relationship with Sixth Brother, but don't you think that he killed his brothers and sisters one by one with his own hands until he was the only one left? β
Ning Ji stopped talking, and slowly withdrew his hand, the expression on his face was a little strange in an instant, but it didn't look like anger, but like guilt, shame, anxiety and other complex emotions.
Shao Ning didn't notice his expression, turned his head to look out the window, and was only immersed in his own thoughts, "...... The next one is the seventh, and the next one is you...... Until the end, the prince of the Tiansheng Dynasty was alone. β
"No, it won't!" Ning Ji's rebuttal rushed out.
"Why are you so sure?" Shao Ning looked at him with a sneer, and suddenly grabbed his hand, "Tenth brother, help me out!" Together, I'll help you ascend to the throne! β
Ning Ji shook off her hand as if she was being burned, and glared, "What are you talking about!" β
"Lao Qi has no hope, except for him and you!" Shao Ning stared at him eagerly, "Help me get rid of my guilt, I have a way to help you!" β
"I don't need to!" Ning Ji took a step back and said in a resolute tone, "And you, Shao Ning, my father doesn't like children who make trouble, I advise you to put away as soon as possible!" β
Shao Ning pursed his lips and looked at him viciously, Ning Ji did not shy away, his eyes looked directly, Shao Ning knew that this little brother was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so he stepped back in a dejected manner, sat down on the chair and sobbed silently.
She took away her anger, Ning Ji was a little unbearable, thought for a while, pressed her shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, don't be discouraged, as long as you don't have any mess to think about, I will help you, the brothers are gradually withering, and I feel uncomfortable, don't talk about you, I will help others......
He suddenly realized that he was leaking his mouth and quickly stopped it, but Shao Ning had already raised his head vigilantly and asked him, "What others have you helped too?" β
Ning Ji hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "You have a good relationship with her, you might as well ...... if you tell you" He lowered his head and looked at the child on his lap, leaned over to Shao Ning's side, and said a few words softly.
Shao Jingjing listened quietly, his face became paler and paler, the paleness was shocked at first, and then it seemed that something had suddenly been dragged out, and he was full of terrifying panic.
She froze there, her eyes shifted from Ning Ji's body to the child, she carefully looked at his eyebrows, and her fingertips suddenly began to tremble slightly.
Ning Ji didn't notice her abnormality, he looked at the sky and muttered, "It's going to rain, I have to go back first, Zhao'er, in short, don't worry." patted Shaoning on the shoulder, and then took the child to say goodbye.
Shao Ning never said a word.
She sat there, losing all movement from the moment she heard the words.
The miserable blue moonlight of midnight came up, and her face was greener than the moonlight.
He said...... The kid ...... The kid ......
A child died at the hands of Ning Yi that night...... She went to ask her, and she threw herself into her arms in tears, crying that the child had been killed...... He also took her to see the corpse, a small lump......
If her child didn't die, then who killed the child that night......
Shao Ning suddenly curled up, as if covering his abdomen in pain.
β¦β¦ It hurt so much that night...... Deep in the temple far from the imperial capital...... She tossed and turned, and the call was muffled by the wind of the mountains and forests...... There is not a single palace person around...... Wen Po was found with the help of her...... The woman pressed her leg and said hard and hard and hard ...... She fainted from exhaustion when she heard the cry, but when she woke up, she said...... When he came out, he cried twice...... And he died...... It's already buried......
But half a month...... She rushed back to the imperial capital...... In order to save someone else's child...... Her own child died, and her hope was in another child...... However, that night Ning Yi appeared...... She failed to save people, and later fell ill with confinement disease.
However, today, the child who should die in Ning Yi's hands is standing in front of him in a good manner!
Shaoning sat stiffly, and all kinds of things slowly flowed through this road in her heart, and at this moment, everything suddenly opened up, and the nightmarish truth stared at her coldly with a mysterious eye.
Her child did not die in its mother's womb, but was taken by the man and died in her place!
The man killed her child, and she had to fight all the way to get sick and rush back to the imperial capital, in order to protect the man's child!
What a stupidity, how stupid!
Shao Ning raised his head and laughed maniacally.
Hello, hello!
She jumped up from the chair, stared around with red eyes looking for something that could be used to kill, caught a glimpse of a black porcelain beauty in the corner of her eye, grabbed it and smashed it at the corner of the table, and with a snap the beauty goose shattered into two, the crack was uneven, sharp as a knife.
She grabbed the bottom of the beauty, kicked the chair away, and walked out.
What mystery of life experience, what father and emperor abandoned, what nurse deception, all thrown aside at this moment, she wants to avenge the murder of her son now!
She strode forward, her eyes half dark and half blood-red, dark soul, red blood.
As soon as her hand touched the door, the door suddenly opened automatically, and several bigfoot women who were guarding the outer courtyard walked in, one walked directly in front of her, and the two of them closed the door immediately after entering.
Shao Ning, who was carried away by grief and indignation, didn't notice their movements, and waved a shattered goblet and shouted: "Get out of the wayβ"
Her voice was covered by a mother-in-law in front of her!
The woman used a handkerchief to block Shao Ning's mouth, a faint strange aroma came, Shao Ning stared at her with wide eyes, struggling desperately under the handkerchief, but her face gradually flushed, and her body softened uncontrollably.
The woman's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and she turned around and smiled in a low voice to the person behind her: "Our soft incense is easy to use, not to mention the girl in the building, even the princess of gold and jade, she has to fall!" β
"Less nonsense! Mother tells you to do business! β
Shao Ning suddenly fluttered, her heart was full of grief and indignation, she actually moved, the other two pounced, one covered her mouth, one pressed her shoulder blade, the first woman took the handkerchief, and said with a cruel smile: "Princess, in the end, you are unlucky, Concubine Qing asked us to guard here, you just keep to yourself, you want to make trouble and everyone will die together?" Then please die first! β
"Poof-" Shao Ning spurted out a mouthful of blood, which was blocked by the mother-in-law.
"Smack!"
There was a sudden flash in the sky, passing through the heavy black clouds, and under the cover of white light, accompanied by a thunderclap, the fragments of the beauty on the table fell one after another, and then were silently crushed by the messy footsteps of several people...... The lights went out suddenly, and in the flashing light, several people were gasping lowly, their faces covered with sweat.
"Collect the debris and wipe the blood clean." The first mother-in-law instructed the other two to sweep the fragments of the beauty into their sleeves without hurry, and wiped the blood on the ground.
"There's still a breath to go, hang it while it's hot." A mother-in-law neatly pulled out Shaoning's belt, wrapped a slipknot around her neck, threw it on the beam, and with a "hey" sound, her arms forced, and Shaoning made a low "grid" sound in her throat, and she was already dangling and being hoisted.
Several mothers-in-law put a toppled stool at Shaoning's feet, looked up, and the mother-in-law in front folded her hands, closed her eyes and muttered: "Princess, the villains also obey orders...... You know who to turn to......"
"Boom." A muffled thunder hit the roof fiercely, startling several people trembling.
"Don't chatter, it's a strange ...... who is afraid of people" A mother-in-law pulled the placket of her companion's clothes, and looked up at Shaoning hanging high a little timidly, her long hair was scattered, covering her face, the white silk skirt fluttered in the air, and the electric light was extinguished, and there was a cold breath spreading.
A few women rushed out, the door squeaked shut, and Jing Zhai returned to quiet darkness.
"Whoa!"
At this moment, the rain poured down violently.
==
On the first day of April in the twentieth year of Changxi, Princess Shaoning committed suicide in Jingzhai, seven years ago, her prince brother fell from the end of Jingzhai Tower, and seven years later, she quietly hanged herself on the beam of Jingzhai.
When she died, Emperor Tiansheng was shocked but a little more puzzled - could it be that this daughter was really a remnant of Dacheng who had been replaced, and knew that there was no way to live, so she committed suicide in fear of sin?
Because of this doubt, Shaoning finally failed to be buried with the gift of the princess, she was originally canceled the title to practice in the imperial temple, and now with the gift of Buddhism, the royal temple was opened, and the three days of the law were buried after the funeral, and buried in Luojiao Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.
After a series of accidents, the old emperor finally couldn't support it, and fell ill again, this time the illness was fierce, seeing the ministers of the inner court and the outer court frequently responding to the call, the imperial doctor came and went, and people's expressions gradually enveloped a layer of tense atmosphere.
Feng Zhiwei has been called to enter the palace frequently recently, and the emperor, who is very sick, sometimes treats her as Shaoning, holding her hand and telling her something about Shaoning's childhood, Feng Zhiwei always agrees with a smile, and gently tuck the corners of the quilt for him.
Ning Yi sat opposite, read the excerpt to the emperor, and the two met, Si Siwenwen, since the first time they called each other's brothers and sisters, the emperor had no objection, and since then the two have met and saluted, one called "Brother Huang." ", a call "sister." "They are all polite and gentle, they are all calm and polite, and after this salute, they all lower their eyes and never look at each other again.
In mid-April, Emperor Tiansheng suddenly moved into the palace of Luoxian County, and the palace that had been closed for many years was urgently activated.
That night, the emperor stayed in the palace, he did not use the secret hall of the basement floor, but lived in the main hall of the upper floor, behind the main hall is the water pavilion of the pond, the water of Li Lake was introduced, the water pavilion was erected on it, the breeze came slowly and the water waves were not prosperous, the blue water reflected the colorful lights and shadows, the emperor saw it with great interest, and ate in the water pavilion at night.
Feng Zhiwei waited for him to have dinner, the emperor leaned on the soft chair and looked at the lake and mountains in the distance, Feng Zhiwei carefully put a blanket on him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't catch a cold." β
Emperor Tiansheng turned his head slightly, looked at Feng Zhiwei with a little hazy eyes, and said, "Why don't you call your father?" β
Feng Zhi was slightly stunned, at this moment she didn't know if the emperor was sober or if he was confused and mistook her for Shaoning, then smiled and called softly: "Father." β
As she spoke, the snow flickered in front of her eyes.
Emperor Tiansheng only smiled with satisfaction, held her hand, his eyes swept in the air, and said leisurely: "You must not understand, I am so sick, why do I still have to come here...... Actually......" he smiled a little vaguely and a little slyly, "I just want to die here." β
Feng Zhiwei said softly: "What do you say, you are prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but now it is just an occasional small ......"
Emperor Tiansheng waved his hand, Feng Zhi stopped slightly, and Emperor Tiansheng smiled faintly: "At this age, what do you not understand?" Luoxian is a good place, when the sixth concubine was there, she came here once, she liked it very much, she wouldn't like anything for no reason...... Later, I asked Zhang Zhenren of Jiuyang Sect to show me, and also said that this is an excellent mountain, if nourished by dragon qi, it will become a place where all stars shine and the moon will be inherently of great benefit to my Ning Dynasty, so I must come here, and the Imperial Palace is too resentful...... As soon as I close my eyes these days, I feel like I see a ghost and a god, and I think that the end is near...... It's still quiet......
His tone was low, his eyes were half-closed, his expression was half-bright and half-dark, and his words were deep and deep, Feng Zhiwei looked at his face, his heart tightened, and he wanted to die at this moment......
"Knowing." His fingers suddenly became cold, but it was Emperor Tiansheng's cold fingers that grabbed it, "After ten thousand years, who do you think the throne should be given to." β
Feng Zhiwei immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, it's a matter of society, Zhiwei doesn't dare to say anything......"
"The left is only the sixth and the seventh...... Emperor Tiansheng didn't seem to hear her words, and muttered, "...... But......" his fingers scratched in the void, and suddenly he looked straight into the eye, "go! Go see my gold crate β go see it! Takeβtakeβ"
Feng Zhiwei was stunned, not understanding what he meant, but the great eunuch Jia Gonggong, who was waiting on the side, seemed to understand something, and hurriedly stepped up and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty...... Is it the golden box in the secret temple? Is it to let the concubine go with you? β
Emperor Tiansheng's face flushed, stared at the air, waved his fingers, and said indiscriminately: "You're here?" What are you doing now? Zhang Zhenren said that you are a demon queen of the country, and said that your Sunset clan had a grudge with my Ning clan in the early years, and you fell snow on the green pine, so you want to 'send blood' to my Ning clan, and you need to imprison your demonic qi to get rid of it...... But this demon also said that the one who is in the middle of the princes should be the emperor...... This demonic nonsense, I cut him...... You don't blame me, don't blame me......"
He looked confused, and what he said gradually involved the secrets of the inner palace, Feng Zhiwei and Father-in-law Jia both felt that they couldn't listen to it, and Father-in-law Jia pulled her and said, "Concubine, what Your Majesty just said was to ask you to go and get the gold box, please come with me." β
Feng Zhiwei said "um", and didn't ask about the golden box, Grandpa Jia wouldn't say.
Her mind is still on the paragraph just now, Emperor Tiansheng seems to be talking about Ning Yi's mother, the woman's later miserable experience, it turned out to be related to Zhang Zhenren's calculation, but Zhang Zhenren's sentence that the son in the middle should be the emperor, and there are eleven in the preface among the children of Emperor Tiansheng, Ning Yi ranks sixth, it is in the middle, but it is Ning Yi who does not refer to Ning Yi?
Listening to the emperor's tone, he still believed in Zhang Zhenren's Taoism at the beginning, Feng Zhiwei only understood a little at this moment, why the emperor's attitude towards Ning Yi has always been very strange, he wants to entrust him with important tasks, and he is always on guard, but he is always on guard against him, but he is always giving him a chance - it turns out that he is entangled between the strange ballad of Ning Yi's mother and Zhang Zhenren's prophecy, and he doesn't know which one to believe, and his mind is up and down, and there is no certainty.
And now? What did the emperor think in his heart? He is so ill, but he still hasn't recalled the Seventh Prince who is supervising the army in the south, this throne has to be given to Ning Yi in the end, right?
"Concubine, please come in." Jia's voice interrupted her contemplation, and when she looked up, she was in front of the secret hall, but it was not the portal that entered the secret hall on the lower level, but a small door on the side.
She remembered that when Ning Yi brought her here that year, there didn't seem to be this door, it must have been added later, her eyes glanced in the direction of the secret hall below, and she was a little regretful that Emperor Tiansheng didn't go to the basement floor this time.
Immediately, she saw Father-in-law Jia open the door of the secret room, and stood by the door with his hands down, and farther outside the door, the chief guard of the Royal Forest Army guarded with a knife.
"Minions can't go in." Father-in-law Jia said respectfully, "Please go in and take out the golden box and come out immediately, everything in it can't be moved casually, otherwise it will ......" He paused, and glanced at Feng Zhiwei meaningfully.
Feng Zhi bowed his head slightly to show that he understood, slowly entered, and squinted his eyes as soon as he entered - there were mirrors on all sides, bright and dazzling, his every move was reflected in the mirror, and Gonggong Jia stared directly at the door, and any superfluous movements would be seen in his eyes.
According to the instructions of Jia's father-in-law, she embossed on the wall, "The sun and the moon are constant, and the stars are always moving." Four o'clock from the scriptures, the surname Yuncheng. Among the sixteen words, the words "day, chen, jing, and yun" were pressed successively, and then there was a rolling sound, and a small gold drawer slowly popped out of the wall.
Feng Zhiwei glanced at the corner of his eye, his heart trembled, and he was the first to see the golden arrow on the left side of the drawer.
For example, the imperial order arrow of the Son of Heaven in person represents the unimpeded flow of the imperial capital at any time and has the right to command the neighboring armies.
Because of the emperor's serious illness, Dijing has been under martial law, and she now seems to be in and out of the palace with infinite scenery, and the Imperial Forest Army is strictly accompanied every day, in fact, this means that she is not trusted, but it is just to keep her watchful, she is a fake princess and a fake concubine, and she is really unstable.
Even if the emperor dispelled his vigilance and suspicion about her, what about Ning Yi? The emperor couldn't stop her, and Ning Yi wouldn't let the tiger return to the mountain.
She seems to be leisurely accompanying the emperor to see the mountains and rivers recently, but in fact, her heart is anxious and indescribable, the grassland has sent troops according to the order of the imperial court, but only she knows that after the Shunyi iron horse enters the pass, she will definitely change the route, and she must go out of Beijing before the grassland iron hooves break through the Tiansheng city. Gu Nanyi hurriedly came to see her, and was immediately driven out of the imperial capital by her to Hua Qiong, she was afraid that if she delayed any longer, even Gu Nanyi might be trapped in the imperial capital, but she thought of many ways to go, but there was never a perfect solution.
The thought flashed quickly in her heart, she didn't look at Ling Jian much, and if she stayed at it for a long time, Grandpa Jia might be suspicious.
Next to the arrow was a sealed golden box, sealed with three layers of fire paint, she knew from the eyes of Father-in-law Jia in the mirror that this was something to be taken, took it in her hand, and closed the mechanism according to Father-in-law Jia's instructions.
The moment she closed the mechanism, her fingers moved, and she had a little urge to move, but when she saw a black head outside, and saw Gonggong Jia standing in a steady posture, she finally gave up.
Holding the box in her hand, accompanied by Gonggong Jia, the head of the Imperial Forest Army and a large group of Royal Forest Army, she looked around carefully along the way, and had to secretly scold Ning Yi for building a palace so carefully, all the road layouts have their own rules, and the links are interlocking and exquisitely arranged, and it is not easy to do anything in such a palace.
When the box was held to the Water Pavilion, Emperor Tiansheng seemed to have woken up from the chaotic state just now, and was leaning on the soft chair tiredly, when he saw Feng Zhiwei holding the gold box, he was stunned, and said, "What are you doing with this?" β
Feng Zhiwei and Gonggong Jia looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing that the emperor was not very sober just now, Emperor Tiansheng also reacted, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Take it back, take it back, put it away." β
Father-in-law Jia had no choice but to take Feng Zhiwei back, Feng Zhiwei was secretly happy in his heart - the opportunity has come!
With a flick of her fingers, a piece of bark that had been secretly peeled off in her palm was ejected, and the bark swept through the water waves, bringing up a large area of rippling light and shadow, and the waterfowl that were stocked on the island in the middle of the lake were startled, flapping their wings and rushing into the sky, and black shadows flashed on all sides.
Emperor Tiansheng, who was already in a trance, was suddenly frightened, and the shadows of the waterfowl flying around looked like ghosts, and he immediately exclaimed: "Assassin! Assassin! Ghosts! Ghosts! Catch them for me! Catch! β
The guards of the Imperial Forest Army rushed from all sides, the emperor shouted assassins, and the leader of the guards naturally couldn't leave, and stood on the water pavilion to command the guards to "catch assassins and catch ghosts." Following the emperor's random guidance and shouting, he was sweating profusely, and only Gonggong Jia and Feng Zhiwei were left to deliver the gold box.
Feng Zhiwei entered the inner hall, the route she went in this time was a little different from before, and she took a slight detour, Jia's father-in-law has been a slave for many years, and he is used to walking behind the footsteps of others, and he is unaware of the same step, when the two of them stand in front of the secret door, the direction is already different from last time.
This time, Gonggong Jia still stood in place and stared without blinking, Feng Zhiwei opened the secret door, walked two steps and suddenly turned back, and said, "Who!" β
She looked shocked, and Gonggong Jia subconsciously turned around, and the person who studied martial arts reflexively made a mistake.
With a bang, half of the wall of the hall suddenly landed, and the echo of the entire hall was dull and trembling slightly, and Gonggong Jia thought it was an earthquake, and retreated in a low voice.
He was distracted, Feng Zhiwei's fingers moved, the golden arrow had already entered the sleeve tube, and through the mirror, he saw that Jia Gonggong had withdrawn from the monitoring range, and he didn't stop doing it, his fingers scratched at the gap in the gold box, and her nails were filled with thin diamond chips, which were the most tough and sharp, and the gold box was broken under a stroke, and her fingers quickly probed in, and pulled out a thin gold bag inside and stuffed it into the sleeve tube.
After doing all this for a moment, she closed the secret door and rushed out, exclaiming, "What's the matter! β
Gonggong Jia came back to his senses at this time, stared at the exposed underground secret hall in shock, and said, "...... Somehow this came out......"
Feng Zhiwei pointed to a slight depression under his feet, and said, "Father-in-law probably accidentally stepped on some mechanism, try to step on it again." β
Father-in-law Jia stepped on it again, the wall slowly closed, Father-in-law Jia wiped a handful of sweat, looked frightened, Feng Zhi smiled and said, "We haven't seen anything today, let's go." β
When she said this, she was telling Gonggong Jia that she would not leak the fact that he had opened the organ by mistake, and Gonggong Jia was grateful, and saw that the secret door had been closed, and hurriedly took Feng Zhiwei out again.
Before Feng Zhiwei left the main hall, he turned around and glanced at the ground, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Back then, Ning Yi brought her to the secret hall, and when she opened the mechanism, she seemed to be quiet, but in fact, she had already seen it, and now it can be regarded as handy.
The "assassin" outside had already been frightened away, and Emperor Tiansheng was also very tired and went back to rest, Feng Zhiwei returned to his residence, first opened the gold bag, and inside was a thin holy decree, after she finished reading it, her eyes flashed, and then carefully put it away.
Holding the arrow, she was thinking about how to leave the imperial capital, it was obvious that the limit of Emperor Tiansheng was in these two days, and the imperial capital and the Luoxian Palace would be in chaos, Ning Yi must be the busiest time at this time, if you want to leave, you have to take advantage of it now!
The emperor controls most of the forces around the imperial capital, and the Huwei battalion located between the imperial capital and Luoxian has been dispatched the day before yesterday, half of which entered the imperial capital and half of the Gongwei Palace, and the cabinet ministers work in the outer hall of the palace, day and night, Emperor Tiansheng does not choose the imperial palace as the final place to return, probably because he is afraid that he will die violently if he can't even get the edict.
You can't startle the snake now, you have to wait!
Feng Zhiwei didn't sleep all night, listening quietly by the lights, the wind was falling in the dark, and the reeds in the lake in the distance were swaying, like the intermittent and long breathing of a dying person, the breath affected the whole world, between the ups and downs, the mountains and rivers collapsed.
How many people stayed up all night this night?
When the day was about to dawn, the sound of miscellaneous footsteps came from afar, the emperor was unconscious three times last night, and now he summoned all the ministers of the palace to see him!
Feng Zhiwei Huo Ran got up, packed up his body and went out, Father-in-law Jia was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw her, he said in a low voice: "The concubine is going to see the driver......"
Under the whole world, only this great eunuch who has been waiting for Emperor Tiansheng since he was a child knows which palace he sleeps in every night, Feng Zhiwei followed him to the Qinyun Pavilion in the apse, passed through the group of ministers with nervous and anxious expressions, and found that the Ning Yi and Ning Ji brothers had not yet come.
She entered the inner room, the bed Tiansheng Emperor seemed to have dried up a lot overnight, it seemed that last night's horror hurt him a lot, and when he really reached the place where the oil ran out, seeing her, the emperor's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand and said vaguely: "Zhao'er...... Come ......"
Feng Zhiwei listened to him call his daughter's name, and felt a pain in his heart, remembering the mother who called him back then, where is she now?
The person in front of him is dying, and the oath he made to his mother has not yet been completed, so he really let it go so lightly, so that this cold man who forced his mother to die will die at the end of his life?
She looked at Emperor Tiansheng quietly, and suddenly a bold and crazy thought popped up.
She walked over and knelt in front of Emperor Tiansheng's couch, and the imperial physicians and courtiers on all sides knelt silently to the side because the emperor summoned her, far away.
Emperor Tiansheng gasped in his throat and reached out to shake her hand.
He was almost at the end of his life, his sanity was confused, and in the old days, he would never let anyone get close to three feet, let alone make physical contact.
Feng Zhiwei obediently let him hold his hand.
Emperor Tiansheng squirmed his lips, at this time in his eyes, Feng Zhiwei was the pampered daughter who had been playing on his lap since childhood, the most intimate one, although he was snubbed because of his disappointment in her, but before he died, he still wanted to be close to his daughter's fragrant softness.
I have to say that the faces similar to Feng Zhiwei and Shaoning have played a great role, otherwise they would not have been able to exchange for the smooth empathy of the old emperor after he was dying.
His voice was extremely low, and Feng Zhi tilted his head slightly and leaned his ear over, as if he was listening carefully.
The Emperor's words were already vague, with only a few barely legible words, "...... Zhao'er ...... I have given you to ...... Wei ......"
At this time, he suddenly remembered his daughter's marriage, and thought that it would be completed before he died, but unfortunately the woman was not blessed to wait for this day after all.
Feng Zhiwei's heart moved.
At such a critical moment, the emperor is not in a hurry to announce who is the new emperor, but he is worrying about these small things, is it because the new emperor has already been decided?
A glance out of the corner of his eye, he found that several old ministers led by Scholar Hu were not present, and he had a number in his heart.
She knelt down, listened extremely carefully, and then said: "Yes, you want to see King Kang of Chu, and your daughter will go to pass it on immediately." β
Emperor Tiansheng paused in his throat in one breath, looking at her with wide eyes, Feng Zhi looked at him slightly, and a cold smile slowly appeared on the corner of his lips.
At this moment, everyone knelt by the door, and the two of them looked at each other in front of the couch, their cloudy and confused old eyes, and their eyes were cloudy in the autumn water.
That smile is like infiltrating thousands of years from the depths of the underworld, the bright light is flickering, and the cold is pressing.
Emperor Tiansheng let out a muffled grunt in his throat.
Feng Zhiwei had already leaned over slightly, her face was slightly tilted, with tears, her expression was soft and sad, the chill just now was gone, and she looked like a filial daughter who was sad that her father was about to die.
She attached it to Emperor Tiansheng's ear and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am Feng Zhiwei, but I am not your daughter, nor is I Mrs. Feng's biological daughter, my father is the late emperor of Dacheng, and my mother is the concubine of Yuechen Palace." β
β¦β¦
Emperor Tiansheng's body suddenly twitched, his eyes widened for a moment, and he opened his mouth to exhale-
"I'm here to rob your family...... Landscape. Feng Zhi smiled slightly, his fingers tightened, and a dark energy entered, sealing his dumb acupoint first, and then destroying his meridians.
"Your Majestyβ"
Suddenly, with a scream, a figure crashed in like lightning, and before the sound arrived, the person had arrived, and with a slanted shoulder collision, he knocked away Feng Zhiwei's last killer.
When she bumped into her, her elbow was bent, and the blue light of the fingers hidden under her elbow flashed, and if Feng Zhiwei didn't care about her move, she would be poked by her immediately.
Feng Zhi shrank his hand, and as soon as he let his body go, the person who came raised his head, the rouge in the corners of his eyes flew crimson obliquely, and his eyes were sharp, it was Concubine Qing.
Since she "falsely accused" Feng Zhiwei and Ning Yi, she was punished by Emperor Tiansheng and grounded in the deep palace, Feng Zhiwei was forced to accompany Luo County, Ning Yi was the busiest time recently, both of them sent killers to assassinate Concubine Qing, but this woman is like a hundred-legged insect to die without stiffness, she took advantage of the emperor's absence in the palace, arranged all her forces on her side, and fought to kill countless subordinates to ensure that she lived well, that kind of ruthlessness, just like she had to live until Ning Yi Feng Zhiwei no matter what.
At this time, I don't know how she broke in.
The two eyes collided, as if there was a flash of sparks, Feng Zhiwei saw that she had already pounced on the emperor, and it was impossible to do it again, anyway, she had already sealed the emperor's dumb hole with a unique technique, and she couldn't solve it for a while, anyway, she had already said what she was going to say happily, and now, she had to go.
This woman must have her own plans, since this is the case, let her live for a while longer, restrain Ning Yi, and save him from being too idle to stop herself.
She said to go, patted her skirt and stood up, and said, "Yes, father, my daughter will personally go to pass on King Kang of Chu." While smiling at Concubine Qing, he turned around and left.
Concubine Qing glared at her with hatred, and she had the heart to say something, but at this time, she also had more important things to do, and she finally came over, and she couldn't waste it on fighting with Feng Zhiwei anymore.
"Your Majesty......" she hugged Emperor Tiansheng, mourning and crying, she didn't dare to say some things before, she hid them, for fear that she would be killed early, and she worked hard to wait until today, "You listen to me, you still have ......"
Feng Zhiwei had already walked out quickly.
"Your Majesty ordered me to pass on King Kang of Chu." She calmly ordered the Imperial Guards, and no one doubted it, and someone immediately brought the horse for her.
A team of Imperial Forest Army followed her back to the imperial capital, and when she traveled to the palace range, Feng Zhiwei suddenly whistled.
A horse neighed and a white shadow flashed, and Xiaobai, who was waiting in the woods next to the official road, ran out with his hooves raised.
Feng Zhi smiled slightly, flew up to Xiaobai, and said, "Your horse is too slow, delay the hour, I'll go first." β
As soon as he kicked the horse's belly, Xiao Bai couldn't bear it for a few days, and galloped happily, the guards only saw a flash of white light, and Feng Zhiwei was ten zhang away.
The guards looked at her back blankly, and they couldn't catch up, so they were stunned for a while: "Is this a horse?" β
β¦β¦
From Luoxian to Dijing, Feng Zhiwei only took a quarter of an hour, because the arrow was in hand, all the way back to Beijing, the atmosphere in Beijing was really more tense, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and vaguely heard that the seven princes who were in the outer supervision army somehow got the news, and suddenly returned to Beijing, and were stopped outside Beijing, and the atmosphere was full of wind and rain on all sides, and even the street vendors felt uneasy, and they closed their stalls early.
Of course, Feng Zhiwei would not go to Xuanchu Wang Kangwang, she returned to the mansion, and ordered all the guards of the Blood Floating Slaughter to change their clothes, put on the long-tasseled guard uniforms that had been prepared, and went straight to the city gate openly.
The city gate is strictly checked, and it is not allowed to enter or exit, Feng Zhiwei Xianyi galloped to the horse, and the golden arrow was raised, and said: "King Kang of Chu is about to be called to the palace in Luoxian County, I will report to Your Majesty first, make way!" β
The gatekeeper looked at Ling Jian, stunned, and then said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has just left the city!" What does it mean to be called to the palace immediately? β
Feng Zhiwei was stunned, and secretly screamed in her heart, she originally calculated that Ning Yi would have to sit in the imperial capital at this moment, the courtiers of the Seven Princes Party in the inner town, and the Seven Princes who secretly returned to Beijing from the outside, and didn't want him to be able to take the time to go out of the city at this time, but what should I do?
"Do you have a problem with your ears?" A person suddenly came out of a soft sedan chair beside her and said, "Obviously, Concubine Shunyi said that King Kang, the younger brother of the King of Chu, will be called to the palace immediately!" β
Feng Zhiwei turned his head and found that the person turned out to be Qian Yan.
Qian Yan was her right-hand man when she was Wei Zhi, and later Wei Zhi was "demoted" and released as an envoy, she was already planning to arrange a fat shortage in Beijing for Qian Yan at that time, and she didn't want Qian Yan to insist on going to Shanbei with her, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to let him go one step later, knowing that the fake Wei Zhi would definitely not be able to hide from Qian Yan, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Qian Yan to return to the imperial capital, and now he is doing imperial history in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Qian Yan suddenly spoke up to help her, did she already guess something? When he left the imperial capital, he invited the ministers to elect Ning Yi as the crown prince, and Qian Yan also participated.
When Qian Yan said this, the gatekeeper was really stunned, thought for a while, and smiled and let go.
Feng Zhiwei went out of the city gate with a gust of wind, and Qian Yan also followed, all the way to a secluded place where there were few people, Feng Zhiwei turned around and saluted, "Thank you Lord Qian for relieving the siege." β
Qian Yan looked at her quietly, smiled for a while, and said, "Thank you for not breaking it down all this time." β
Feng Zhi smiled slightly.
Qian Yan is Ning Yi's person.
She knew it all along.
At the beginning, there was a table of wine on the golden stage, and a glass of wine released Ning Yi's royal power, she did it so secretively and resolutely, but that night Ning Yi got the news very quickly, restraining all the officials above the third grade, so that the impact was reduced to a minimum.
Afterwards, she analyzed that there must be Ning Yi's secret agents around her, and she had to be the kind who could participate in secrets.
Who else is there besides Qian Yan? This was originally born in the family of the imperial eunuchs, and when he was in Qingming Academy, he followed Ning Yi and Yao Yangyu to wander the imperial capital, Xiao Yao and they are all Ning Yi's cronies, why is Qian Yan not?
I know, I haven't debunked it, there is no Qian Yan, there is Wang Yan, Liu Yan, Li Yan, Ning Yi has the means, why bother.
"Since Lord Qian is waiting here." Feng Zhi smiled slightly, "Presumably, His Royal Highness the King of Chu ordered you to intercept me, why didn't you stop me?" β
"Xiaguan's life was saved by the eldest concubine. The eldest concubine saved Qian Yan's life, and worked hard to manage Qian Yan's future. Qian Yan shook his head solemnly, "Yan Shou rat at both ends, ashamed of the concubine, but it is not so good that the conscience is exhausted, desperately to be blamed by His Royal Highness, and the grace of saving his life must be repaid." β
"So, thank you." Feng Zhi nodded slightly, "The mountains are high and the waters are long, and there will be a period later." β
As soon as she turned around and left, Qian Yan behind her suddenly called her, hesitated for a while, and said: "Concubine, don't take the waterway, the Jianghuai Navy has been transferred by His Royal Highness, and this road will not work." β
"Okay, thank you." Feng Zhiwei agreed very simply, and suddenly raised his hand to throw the arrow over, and said, "Out of the gate of the Imperial City, the arrow will be useless, send it to you!" β
Qian Yan's expression was shocked, he bowed down to take the arrow, Feng Zhi smiled slightly, and led the crowd away.
Qian Yan stared at her back for a long time, the light flashed in his eyes, and after a while, someone approached behind him, and a person rode a horse and asked, "Why is Lord Qian here?" Can you intercept people? β
Qian Yan turned around and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for a day, no one, please inform Your Highness that the concubine has not left the city from here." β
"Okay." Someone patted the horse away.
After this man left, there was also a black shadow in the woods beside him, and disappeared silently.
Only Qian Yan was left in place, weighing the arrows in his palm, and muttered: "Sure enough, he is worthy of the first capable minister of Tiansheng, and the true god is also ......."
Qian Yan sighed in place, but Feng Zhiwei didn't hurry, and Lerma waited three miles away.
After a while, a black shadow flashed out, and the Blood Floating Slaughter Guard, who was in charge of listening to Qian Yan's actions, reported: "Master, Qian Yan really didn't lie, he said to the subordinates of the King of Chu, you didn't leave the city. β
Feng Zhi smiled.
"Then his suggestion should work." One of the guards said, "We can't go by water, we go by land." β
"Wrong."
Feng Zhiwei smiled in the stunned eyes of everyone and said, "Seeing things in this world may not be true, let alone hearing?" Do you think that Qian Yan helped me out of the city gate, just to repay my kindness? Do you think that when you hear Qian Yan lying to King Chu's subordinates, he is really helping me? If you really think so, you will fall for the king of Chu! β
"Then we ......"
"By road."
Everyone showed a sluggish expression again-or take the land route instead of the water route, so what do you suspect Qian Yan to do?
"You don't understand." Feng Zhi smiled slightly, "This is something that I and the King of Chu only understand, false and real, true and false, he knows that I will not believe Qian Yan, and he will definitely order someone to listen to Qian Yan, so let Qian Yan pretend to be loyal to me, but he also knows that even if Qian Yan pretends to be loyal to me, I may not believe it, and I will still take the waterway - so there must be an ambush on his waterway." β
The Bloodfloating Slaughter Guardian had a happy and convinced expression.
"But I'm going to have to go by water eventually." Feng Zhiwei threw another bomb, which made everyone stunned again.
"What do you mean ......"
"How safe is it by land?" Feng Zhiwei said, "From Luoxian down, the Jianghuai garrison will inevitably be densely packed on the road, the Seventh Prince has brought the private army back, if the edict is not for him to take over, the Huwei battalion will definitely divide the troops to block, many checkpoints, I want to pass the whole body, how easy is it to talk about?" β
"Now ......"
"It's not easy, but after I threw the arrow to Qian Yan, everything was different." Feng Zhi raised his face slightly, squinted his eyes, thinking that now, it was another face-to-face silent game between himself and Ning Yi, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Ning Yi is going to succeed to the throne soon, and I will take the arrow with useless, or the clues to pursue me, but when I give him the arrow, he can use this to order all the defenders in the neighboring county, how can he let go of this opportunity?" The private army of the Seven Princes is between Jianghuai and the Imperial Capital, as long as he draws the Jianghuai Navy down the river and cooperates with the local defenders to attack left and right, when the time comes, the Seven Princes will be surrounded and meet the Huwei camp head-on, how can he not be defeated? Ning Yi's biggest flaw is that the military is insufficient, and if he controls Gyeonggi, he can't take care of the outside of Beijing, and now that the arrow is in hand, the army will move, and as soon as the Jianghuai Navy is transferred, the waterway ambush will not exist, so I will first land and then water. Don't worry, for Ning Yi, getting the big position is more important than anything else, so naturally there is no time to arrest me. β
"Is it possible that Your Highness still has to catch the master first......"
Feng Zhi smiled slightly, but there was no joy in his laughter, and said lightly: "No, he won't, if he gives up his roots and gives up his position to trap me, he is not Ning Yi." β
She lowered her eyes, her fingers gently caressed the horsewhip, and there was a word that she did not say in the bottom of her heart.
I am the same person as him, just like I will not give up my oath for him.
Because they are too similar, they know each other too well, and they know each other's choices too well.
You calculate, I come, I calculate you, and in the end you are entangled in each other's game.
"The husband is not guilty," she made a gesture of throwing everything, laughing, "throw the jade out and let them grab it, and we can fish in troubled waters." β
==
Outside the Imperial Capital City, Feng Zhiwei threw everything, and Ning Yi of the Luoxian Xinggong was walking towards his everything.
Almost when Feng Zhiwei had just gone to find him and left the palace, Ning Yi entered the palace, and the two could have met on the official road, but they missed it because Feng Zhiwei copied the path.
In the uproar, Concubine Qing hugged Emperor Tiansheng, desperately infusing her precious true qi into the aging body, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty...... You must take care of your money...... The concubine can finally tell you today...... The son of the concubine did not die...... He's still there! β
Emperor Tiansheng's eyes opened, and the light in his cloudy eyes burst out, but it dimmed in an instantβhis body was repeatedly impacted, and he had already lost his spirit and spirit to do anything to deal with it.
Concubine Qing was in a hurry, she tried her best to hide the child, and did not dare to let him appear early to be harmed by others, just to find the last opportunity to completely turn the tables, but unfortunately accused Feng Zhiwei of falling short for the case of Dacheng's remnants, which caused her to not be close to Emperor Tiansheng in the near future, and missed the last opportunity for Emperor Tiansheng to draw up an edict in vain, and it was easy to rush to Emperor Tiansheng's bed today, if the emperor can't wait for this moment, not to mention that the dream of the Queen Mother can't be realized, and her life is difficult to protect.
Seeing that the emperor's expression was declining, Concubine Qing was in a hurry, gritted her teeth, sent her last bit of true strength over, took out a gold pendant from her heart, took out a pill from it, and quickly fed it into Emperor Tiansheng's mouth - this is the life-saving pill she felt everywhere after entering the palace, and tried her best to collect life-saving pills from overseas, a total of two, she used one, and sure enough, her skills were great and she was not sick, this one was hidden like a treasure, and it was kept for life and death, and now that the situation is urgent, she can't take care of it anymore.
As soon as she stuffed the medicine here, the imperial doctor over there came to stop her, and she was viciously pushed aside, her sleeves were flicked out, and her heart was shocked - her hands were weak and weak, her internal organs were empty, her true strength had been exhausted, and she had to recuperate well in the short term, and she could no longer use force.
After being shocked, he was at ease, Feng Zhiwei had left Beijing, and Ning Yi had to sit in the imperial capital to deal with the Seven Princes, she secretly passed the news of the emperor's imminent death to the Seven Princes in the far south, he really came back desperately, with him to contain Ning Yi, who could move her in the Luoxian Palace?
She knelt forward, leaned on the couch, and said hurriedly in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, King Kang will bring him to ...... soon."
Then she heard footsteps, and when she looked back, King Kang Ning Ji was coming over with his son, followed by a few old ministers.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take a look, you see," Concubine Qing snatched out happily, hugged the child in Ning Ji's hand, and carried it to Emperor Tiansheng's bed, "Because someone wants to murder the concubine and the concubine's child, the concubine fostered the child with King Kang, pretending to be King Kang's second son...... Look at his eyebrows, his nose, his mouth, his face...... It's your son! β
The kid stared at the kid in a daze, his eyebrows and expressions were indeed somewhat similar to Emperor Tiansheng, Emperor Tiansheng stared at the child, his eyes fluctuated, and he reached out to touch his face slowly.
Concubine Qing hurriedly pushed the child forward, put his face under Emperor Tiansheng, and said with a crying smile: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... He's your son for real...... If you don't believe me, you can also have a blood-dripping ......"
Hearing these words, Emperor Tiansheng's face suddenly changed greatly, his pale face instantly turned pale, his eyebrows flashed with a dead black color, and his eyes went straight up, looking like he was about to faint.
Concubine Qing didn't expect him to react so much to this sentence, and she didn't expect that the emperor could no longer speak, Emperor Tiansheng's face made her heart sink heavily, and she hurriedly turned around and greeted Ning Ji, and said, "King Kang, you speak, you tell Your Majesty that this child was raised by you on my behalf, say it quickly!" β
Ning Ji looked at her quietly, took a step forward for a while, and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, that day you said that the children of the royal family withered, I hope I will help you preserve the blood of Your Majesty, you said that your only thought is to leave this child's life, you said that the sixth brother knows that the younger brother exists and will never let him live, you swear that as long as I don't tell anyone about his life and protect his life, your mother and son will never covet the imperial power - what are you doing today?" β
Concubine Qing shrank under his gaze, then smiled, and said softly: "The oath of this palace is naturally valid, King Kang, you don't have to be careful, how can this palace dare to compete with His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" This palace just doesn't want His Majesty to know that Qi'er exists until he dies, and he doesn't want Qi'er to not even be able to send his biological father to the last time, the relatives are obviously close at hand, but the biological father and son can't recognize each other for the rest of their lives, how cruel is this? Your Highness, do you bear with me? β
She knelt forward and grabbed Ning Ji's arm, tears already flowing, "...... Your Highness, you are the most kind and kind, but you don't feel good about watching your brothers die one by one over the years, right? β¦β¦ The princess has also gone now...... This last little brother, you need to take care of it......"
Her raised face pear blossoms with rain, a branch of red dew and incense, both a woman's mature charm and a girl's coquettish demeanor, her eyes swept over and hooked people's hearts, Ning Ji blushed, and hurriedly took off her hand to avoid the side, that day he was also soft-hearted under Concubine Qing's crying, and did something to betray the sixth brother, he wanted to protect the child's life, but never wanted to affect the great cause of the sixth brother, he was kind, but not stupid, what Concubine Qing was going to do, how could he not see it?
Concubine Qing looked at him, the colder her heart became, she used Shaoning's child to pretend to be her newborn son, and then entrusted her child to Ning Ji, it was really the result of thinking left and right, looking at the situation in the palace, there was really no one to entrust her, Ning Yi's power was huge, it would be good if she could protect herself, how could she protect the young child? And the most dangerous place is actually the safest, Ning Yi even thought about it all over the world, and never imagined that her child did not die, but was raised under the knees of his favorite brother!
And although Ning Ji has a very good relationship with Ning Yi, but Ning Yi did not let him contact the wind and rain of the court out of the protection of this younger brother, nor did he absorb him into the faction of the King of Chu, so Ning Ji and Ning Yi did not have much contact, he was never scheming and indifferent, and he was also kind and kind, she impressed Ning Ji on the grounds that the Ning brothers withered, and sure enough, he made a promise to raise her child in the palace under the pretense of his own son, and when it was revealed in the future, Ning Ji proved that it was more powerful than anyone else, and it might not be able to stimulate Ning Yi to lose his square inch, she thought that this plan was very good, As it turned out, she did it right.
Today, however, something seems to have gotten out of her control.
"King Kang......" She tried to pull Ning Ji's arm again, but Ning Ji dodged to avoid it.
"Mother, if you are really willing to keep your oath that day." Ning Ji said, "Please leave now, and then I will naturally say what I should say to my father." β
Concubine Qing was stunned for a moment.
Want her to leave?
She left, the child was so young, and Ning Ji was helping Ning Yi again, who would strike while the iron was hot and let the emperor change the heir at the last moment?
Others may think that it is ridiculous to modify the edict at the last moment, but she knows very well that this possibility is very high, the emperor is not satisfied with his sons, although he is interested in Ning Yi, but he has always hesitated because of a nightmarish prophecy, she has heard his dream words, vaguely guessed probably, when she secretly sent the news of the emperor's serious illness to the seventh prince, Emperor Tiansheng knew but pretended not to know, she knew that the emperor did not make a decision in his heart, he would rather use this imperial capital as a battlefield, let his sons fight the victory, even if the edict was Ning Yi to take over, If he didn't have the ability to sit on the throne, Emperor Tiansheng wouldn't mind Lao Qi snatching it.
When there is no good choice, whoever wins, who takes the country!
So in the emperor's heart, he really hopes to have a new choice, and she also believes in her own weight in the emperor's heart, she is smart and keen, and she does not have a strong maiden background, she is the queen mother to assist the young emperor, and it is more appropriate than handing over the country to Ning Yi, who is burdened with ominous prophecies, and the seven princes who have a lot of power in the mother family!
No, she can't go, what she's been waiting for is this moment, how can she fall short?
"Your Highness, are you trying to kill me......" she looked at Ning Ji pleadingly, tears rippling, "You should know...... I'm out of this door...... It's just a dead word......"
She froze on the ground, weeping bitterly, holding the corner of Ning Ji's robe, delicate as a dusty flower.
On the couch, Emperor Tiansheng's face turned red, glaring at the people on the ground, his fingers trembling and patting the edge of the couch.
Ning Ji's face turned red, he couldn't leave if he wanted to leave, he wanted to pull away Concubine Qing, her sleeves slipped down, and it was slippery everywhere he touched, so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet for a while: "Okay, I'll say a word for you, and then you leave immediately!" β
"Good ......" Concubine Qing trembled, revealing a happy smile.
As soon as the smile swept the corners of her lips, she suddenly saw Ning Ji's expression stunned, and felt quiet on all sides, there was a sound of tiptoe back behind her, and all kinds of chaotic breathing tightened.
She froze, glanced down, and saw a slender black shadow covering the couch, blocking out the sunlight in front of her.
Her fingers curled up, clutching the emperor's sleeve tightly, and slowly turning her head.
At the door, Ning Yi was dressed in a light robe, smiling at her in the light and shadow of apricot blossoms.
Concubine Qing was flustered for a while, she didn't expect Ning Yi to dare to run to Luo County without going to Dijing at this moment, did he know something?
Immediately, she calmed down, slowly stood up, and leaned against Emperor Tiansheng tightly.
Ning Yi rolled his eyes, swept past the imperial doctor who was kneeling in the corner of the wall and wanted to shrink himself into the wall, and forced them out with his eyes, until all the people in the room retreated to the bottom of the stairs, and then smiled faintly: "The people are complete." β
Ning Ji opened his mouth and looked at his sixth brother in a daze, but Ning Yi didn't look at him, only stared at the scared child.
Concubine Qing's son.
It's ridiculous.
He also slapped Zhiwei with his own hands for the sake of this enemy's child.
That night in the Third Prince's Mansion, he saw her kill at Ning Ji's son, and he slashed out with a palm in anger, in exchange for her blood splashing on her face.
The wistful smile she had when she left, the phrase "keep an eye on your baby brother", sounded like a threat at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, she thought about it and thought about it at a deeper level.
Was she threatening, or was she reminding something?
Once in doubt, it is easy to find out the truth, and when he understands the child's background, his heart falls into a deep well.
After thousands of calculations, the enemy was in his own camp before he counted.
was almost led by Concubine Qing's troubles, leading him to the Zhiwei killer.
He smiled, walked over, and walked towards Ning Ji.
Ning Ji blushed and knelt down at him, but Ning Yi suddenly swept his body and rushed straight to Concubine Qing!
Concubine Qing, who had been staring at him closely, hurriedly stopped her body, but suddenly remembered that at this moment, Emperor Tiansheng, herself, and her son, none of them could die, she was alone, how could she protect three people?
In her busy schedule, she made a sound, and the black shadow flashed, and two black-clothed people fell from the beam, blocking in front of Emperor Tiansheng's couch.
Ning Yi swept halfway, stopped, looked at the two black-clothed men with stiff expressions, and smiled.
"Concubine Qing is really favored by the emperor." He said, "I said that when you approached earlier, none of the shadows in front of Your Majesty appeared, and it turned out that Your Majesty even gave you the shadows to use. β
Concubine Qing smiled proudly, but the smile was only halfway unfolded, and she was put away.
Ning Yi spread his palm, and a gold medal of "Ru I am here" shone brightly in his palm.
"Shadows only obey royal orders." Ning Yi said indifferently, "And the world is mine now." β
Concubine Qing gasped, and the two shadow guards saw the gold medal, bowed silently, and disappeared immediately.
Concubine Qing threw herself in front of Emperor Tiansheng's couch in despair, Ning Yi stepped forward with a smile, kicked her body away, and collapsed in the corner of the wall.
He stood in front of her, leaned over to look at her with desperate and resentful eyes, the corner of his eyes swept over the child, and said lightly: "The child who died in my arms inexplicably that night was shot to death by you?" β
That night, Zhiwei handed over the child to him, and he was about to send someone away immediately, but when he didn't want to turn an alley corner, a cold arrow came and killed the baby instantly.
The child died in the crook of his arm, and everyone thought that Concubine Qing's child died under his hands.
But it turned out that she sent someone to kill her.
Concubine Qing didn't answer, sneered, and her face was pale.
That arrow, that night, killed not only the son of Shaoning who was used as a substitute? What was killed was the last trust entrusted between Feng Zhiwei and Ning Yi.
Feng Zhiwei, a descendant of Dacheng, and Ning Yi, who deceived her, are all her enemies, how can they join forces?
The real revenge is not the killing of white knives in and red knives, but the people who want to love each other have to break up with heartache.
"Whose is that kid?" Ning Yi stared at her coldly, Concubine Qing smiled charmingly at him, and said softly, "Died at your hands, you don't know whose it was?" But no matter who it is, as long as Feng Zhiwei thinks it's mine, it's enough. β
Ning Yi smiled without a smile, and then grabbed the child.
"Don't touch him!" The smug look on Concubine Qing's face immediately disappeared, she didn't have the strength, so she grabbed Ning Ji's ankle, and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness! Your Highness! You have worked hard to raise Qi'er for so many years, and you are like father and son...... You can't bear to let him be killed in front of you...... Save him...... Save him......"
Ning Ji's face changed, and he wanted to take a step forward, but Ning Yi Huo Ran looked back and said coldly: "Old ten, if you want to kill your sixth brother, just come up." β
Ning Ji's body froze.
Ning Yi ignored him anymore, took the child, and smiled close to Emperor Tiansheng who was squeezing in his throat on the couch, he was not as flustered as Concubine Qing, and he could see at a glance that the emperor was sealed dumb acupoint, and he untied it casually.
Emperor Tiansheng untied the dumb point and coughed loudly, his expression became more and more aggrieved, Ning Yi whispered in his ear: "Father, Lao Qi is finally here, and he has brought a group of private troops trapped in the Jianghuai Emperor's capital, thousands of miles of tired troops, and has been ambushed and attacked several times during this time...... Hehe, don't worry, he will definitely die before Luo County. β
Emperor Tiansheng's body was shocked, and he let out a low "ah", returning to his clear mind, he already understood at this moment that Ning Yi was afraid that after he succeeded to the throne, the Seventh Prince would simply support his own troops in the south and become a separatist force, so he deliberately let Concubine Qing release the news, causing the Seventh Prince to return to Beijing desperately for thousands of miles, and his teachers ran away, where could he withstand his ambush?
The depth of this son's city is already rare, and now he just understands it again.
The corners of Emperor Tiansheng's lips showed a wry smile, looking at the child under the bed, since Ning Yi arrived, naturally nothing would happen, he hoarsely throated, stretched out his hand, and said softly, with a little pleading: "Let me see...... Look at him...... Just look at ......"
Ning Yi held the child's pulse, his fingertips pressed slightly, the child's face was bloody, and then it turned snow-white, Ning Yi smiled and handed the child's hand to the palm of Emperor Tiansheng, and said softly: "...... Look, father, in fact, the sons also think that this child has good roots...... If you are willing, it is also a good idea to pass the throne to him...... It's just that Erchen took his pulse for him just now...... I'm afraid this kid won't live to be seven years old......"
He stared at Emperor Tiansheng's eyes with a smile and said softly, "It's a pity. β
Emperor Tiansheng was just about to touch the child's fingers, but when he heard this, his face turned pale, his fingers fell, he glared at Ning Yi, and said angrily for a while: "Son of a ...... Son of Evil ......"
Ning Yi nodded sympathetically and said, "Yes, you have a lot of sons, but fortunately, they are all dead." β
Emperor Tiansheng closed his eyes, as if he was accumulating strength, and turned his eyes away for a while, as if he was looking for someone, and saw Jia Gongcheng at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes lit up, and he glanced over.
Lao Jia didn't move, and looked at Emperor Tiansheng with a bitter face, and Emperor Tiansheng looked at him dizzily for a long time, and then vaguely saw that he was being controlled.
"Does Your Majesty want Gonggong Jia to go and get the arrow?" Ning Yi smiled shallowly, and his sleeves moved, revealing a golden corner, "Don't bother, let the arrow be here with Erchen, thank you father, I am finally willing to hand over the 300,000 Huwei camp to Erchen to command." β
"You ......" Emperor Tiansheng had a stalk in his throat, he couldn't go up or down, and his eyes rolled for a while.
Under the anger just now, I wanted Gonggong Jia to go to Lao Qi with the arrow and the secret decree, and give Lao Qi a chance to turn defeat into victory, but this son of evil, step by step, does not leak, where will he give people a chance to regret it.
A thought crossed his mind in a daze-the matter of Ling Arrow was top secret, how could it end up in Ning Yi's hands? What about the secret purpose?
The old emperor gasped rapidly, his body gradually softened, and after a moment of anger, he was awake, what else could he do now? This son is certainly a wolf's ambition, but the more ruthless he is, the more he puts down his heart, he is soft-hearted and unworthy of being an emperor, and being ruthless and lonely is exactly the emperor's mental technique, and he was originally worried about the ominous prophecy that covered the world, but at this moment he was not worried.
Ning Yi, who has obtained the throne with such difficulty step by step, how can he be willing to overthrow the world!
He gasped rapidly, suddenly remembered what had happened before, grabbed Ning Yi's hand, and said eagerly: "It's up to you...... It's all up to you...... The world is yours...... But you give it to me...... Kill that phoenix ...... for me Feng ...... Feng ......"
"Feng Zhiwei," Ning Yi reminded with a smile.
"That's right! Feng Zhiwei! The old emperor's eyes were cold, and he nodded with all his might.
Ning Yi looked at him with a smile, gently straightened his shaken white hair, and then leaned over, whispered in his ear: "No, whoever dies, she won't die." β
"You-" Emperor Tiansheng grabbed Ning Yi's shirt and hung his whole body on the hem of his clothes, "You-you-"
"Because." Ning Yi smiled and pulled him on the shoulder, slowly pulling him away, "I love her." β
β¦β¦
"Bang."
Emperor Tiansheng's body landed on the couch and let out a muffled sound.
The hand that grabbed Ning Yi's shoulder spasmed a few times, and slowly drooped, and the old and withered fingers were like a few lifeless brown branches, spread lifelessly on the mattress covered with embroidered gold.
At the end of the day, it will be impossible to escape that day, the emperor will be the prime minister, and he will dominate the industry all his life, and finally come like flowing water and go like the wind.
Ning Yi maintained a half-leaned posture, staring at the old and flabby face for a long time.
It was this man who trapped him, pressed him, suppressed him, injured him, and was guarding against him until he died, and was still thinking about overturning him on his deathbed.
He carried the pressure of this majestic mountain all the way, and now, his left shoulder has gone to this cold royal dump, and his right shoulder has inherited the infinite rivers and mountains in blood and fire.
The difficult road has come to this day, and before it ends, there are black stratus clouds surging behind him, waiting for him.
Half-awake, he was in the middle, looking deeply at the way he had come.
Where are the people?
I don't know when, the hairpin nobleman kneeling on the ground, with an unprecedented pious expression, shouted and bowed to him, and immediately, the three ministers of the cabinet will read out the edict of his accession to the throne in the main hall of the palace.
Ning Yi smiled faintly, and there was no smile in his eyes.
Outside the window, the spring light is just right.
==
April 17 of the twentieth year of Changxi.
Emperor Tiansheng, who reigned for twenty years, collapsed.
Ning Yi, the sixth son of the emperor, ascended the throne and set the year number: Fengxiang
In the first year of Fengxiang, Huzhuo 12 troops out of the grassland, raised the anti-flag under the city of Yuzhou, turned the troops to counterattack the inland, when the city of Yuzhou was like a great enemy waiting for the famous Shunyi iron cavalry to step on the city wall, the Huzhuo army suddenly turned in a direction, from Yuzhou to rub, turned to Longbei, and in Longbei uprising Qingyang sect convergence, occupy most of Longbei, and Changning Domain divided Longbei into two, then Huaqiong out of southern Fujian Mayu Pass, Xiliang sent troops to the inland sea to contain the forces of the general of the South China Sea, Qi father and son soldiers went south to occupy Shannan, half of the territory of the world, for a while, they were no longer under the rule of Tiansheng.
The war in the south of Tiansheng is full of flames, and the strange thing is that the people and the warring parties have not been damaged too much in this war, because whenever the army comes, the local defenders will quickly shrink and pull out the city, not formally fighting with the rebels, and most of the rebel generals are civilians, and naturally they will not disturb the people, it can be said that the front foot of the people walks their back foot, just like the peaceful reception, almost bloodless occupies nearly half of the land in Tiansheng, look at the posture, Tiansheng Jiangshan, it was easily covered half of the hands of the Fire Phoenix Army.
The Fire Phoenix Army is okay, there is no fight, there is no fight, according to Hua Qiong, and he is not willing to face the battlefield with his former comrades such as Chun Yu Meng Yao Yangyu, but he suffers from the warlike and brave Shunyi Iron Cavalry, waw wow waving the knife that is about to be blunt, cutting trees and chatting all day long to sharpen the knife.
In this war, some names spread vigorously, Hua Qiong, Hang Ming, Qi father and son, Shunyi Iron Cavalry, these soul figures of the Fire Phoenix Army, with their respective brave and fierce fame, but many people speculate that these heroic figures who lead an army seem to be in their own way, but they seem to be tied to the hands of one person, commanded by a behind-the-scenes person like an arm, what kind of person can become the backbone of these peerless figures? To make the people fall down at the behest of his command? For a long time, this was a mystery.
In the third year of Fengxiang, when Huofeng and Shunyi Tieqi occupied nearly half of Tiansheng's country, and assigned the vast territory from Hulun Grassland in the north to Tianshui Pass in the south under his rule, this mysterious figure finally surfaced.
In July of that year, Huofeng and Shunyi Tie rode together in Wanxian County, southern Fujian, and on the Fengpo slope outside Wanxian County, the towering army, the banner was like fire, and the army stretched for dozens of miles, waiting for their real master.
On that day, Feng Zhiwei black-clothed white horse, galloping through the ten thousand armies, flying smoke and dust behind the horse's hooves like a line, straight through the 100,000 ironclad army array, hundreds of thousands of tigers raised their arms in unison, and the pale blue ironclad sputtered a large area of golden sunlight.
On that day, she swore an oath, beheaded dozens of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and in the blood, the woman in black with a calm face calmly took the stage under the stunned gaze of the crowd, accepting the worship of those famous generals who were worshiped by everyone, at that time she stood on the high platform, dressed in plain black, black hair was darker than black, but her face was whiter and crystalline than the sky and clouds, and her eyes were quietly swept away, and everyone instantly remembered the ancient snow-capped mountains standing majestically on the other side of the horizon.
Far away, unreachable, but eternal and indelible.
On that day, Feng Zhi said lightly, "Sons, today you and I will eventually have a country, which is a place of peace and happiness for the world. β
Speaking casually, the sound was clearly heard by hundreds of thousands of troops, and after a moment of silence, hundreds of thousands of people raised their arms and stood up, and in the roaring cheers, the snow bright sword light gathered like a pillar, piercing the southeast sky.
On the same day, Dacheng announced the restoration of the country, the capital of Wanxian, Wanxian changed its name to Wanjing, and Feng Zhiwei ascended the throne for the Empress of Dacheng, with the year name: Tianxiang.
That day, the generals stood behind Feng Zhiwei, and there were shallow doubts in the glory of the crowd - the army seemed to be a big victory, but in fact, the foundation was not stable, such as a high-rise building, but it was built on the muddy mudflats, a more ferocious counterattack, it was possible to be destroyed, the road to the country has always been repeatedly difficult, everyone is ready to wait for a long time to fight, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly call the king, this truth Feng Zhiwei should not understand, but she is in a hurry to call the emperor, and also set the capital of Wanxian, this frontier city, far from the inland, close to Xiliang, What kind of calculation is she having?
On that day, Feng Zhiwei, the head of Wanxian County, looked back and looked north, as if he saw that on the rich land across the river, after the crown of the Nine Dragons, the four sides were not on the top of the throne, and the person was looking at this side with deep eyes.
Hunting with the flag, the clouds rolled, she was silent under the flag, on the side of the mountains and seas, with a wave of her sleeves, she drew the Chu River Han boundary between him and him.
The world is big, you and I each have half of it, and from then on, we will participate in the business of the two stars, and there will be no time for each other.
==
A year later.
Wanjing.
A towering building in the north of the city stands in the dark, with a few lights slightly lit, like an ordinary rich mansion.
But the people of Wanjing know that this inconspicuous-looking building is the core seat of the Daesung regime, the palace of the empress.
As a palace, this mansion is really a bit simple, but the empress said that the family and country are undecided, the people are not settled, and personal pleasures can be put aside, and she has been on the throne for a year, and insists on refusing to build the palace.
The people of Wanjing mentioned this empress, they were full of praise, the original army occupied Wanxian, the people were still very afraid, fled to the city, but the empress's subordinates, military discipline is extremely strict and never disturbs the people, after the empress set the capital here, all kinds of government affairs are very organized, culture and education, industry and commerce, farming, taxation, officials and other government decrees are very proper, and the people's lives are gradually stable.
The "Imperial Palace" is not heavily guarded, there is no high wall, and the people in the north of the city can see the lights of the empress every night when they ride on the wall of their own houses, and sigh, "Your Majesty is reviewing the music all night again, which is really hard." β
The moonlight crossed the high ridge, reflecting the candle flame in the house more clearly, and Feng Zhi held his head slightly under the candlelight, listening to Hang Ming's report on the recent situation in Changning.
Changning, as the earliest rebel domain, occupied the southern part of the mountain and half of Longbei early, and Tiansheng inland across the river confrontation, has also established its own regime, the country name Daxing, Lu Zhiyan ascended the throne and called the emperor, but Changning occupies this territory is a little embarrassing, is located between Dacheng and Tiansheng, like a stuffing covered by two halves of the shell, although Changning and Dacheng became friends early, but this situation is not a long-term solution after all, for Changning, or go further, occupy the land of Tiansheng, get rid of the situation of being surrounded, Either it is to plunder half of Feng Zhiwei's Longbei territory and divide Feng Zhiwei's territory into two, judging from Lu Zhiyan's current strength, the latter is more likely.
Hang Ming, as the governor of Longbei, the main enemy is Changning, and he rushed to Wanjing because Changning seemed to be ready to move, so he came to Feng Zhiwei to ask for a countermeasure.
"Got it." Feng Zhiwei nodded after hearing this, and said, "Your side is short of troops, I asked Hua Qiong to bring a part of the Fire Phoenix Army to reinforce, Lu Zhiyan may not do it directly, be careful." β
"Yes."
Hang Ming left, Feng Zhiwei closed his eyes and sat silently for a long time, blowing out the lights.
She didn't leave after the lights went out, she still sat there, gently pulling out a bag in the middle of the bookcase.
There were two things in the bag, one was the secret decree that was stolen from the secret hall of the Luoxian Palace, and the other was the suicide note that the mother had left in the small courtyard, and the last words that the mother of Ning'an Palace hid in her belt that year instructed her to find this.
The mother's suicide note didn't say anything, but asked her to have a chance in the future, and when she returned to the deep mountains of Longbei where she lived when she was a child, she didn't forget to go to the original yard and worship her brother.
That Mrs. Feng gave birth to her own child who died, on the day of delivery, it was Gu Heng who delivered the baby personally, and the child's body was buried under the peach tree in the backyard, Mrs. Feng later took Feng Zhiwei's sister and brother God Jing, naturally it was impossible to take the bones of her own son, she thought that the child was lonely, and hoped that Feng Zhiwei would have the opportunity to see him.
Not long ago, Feng Zhiwei inspected Longbei, accompanied by Gu Nanyi, and went there, the yard had already burned down, but the peach tree stump was still there, she dug three feet under the tree and dug up a package.
The small package, stained with blood and mud, was the small clothes that Mrs. Feng had sewn with her own hands.
Feng Zhi couldn't hide the sourness and picked up the package, wanting to take the bones of this hard-working child with her, and move it to Mrs. Feng's side in the future, but she didn't want to wrap it, which surprised her.
How could the bones of a newborn baby be reformed like this? Heavy and stone-like!
She unwrapped the package and gasped.
Baby clothes wrapped, what a stone!
Feng Zhiwei's hand softened, and the stone fell, almost hitting her foot.
Stone...... Why is it a stone?
What happened on the night when the mother gave birth to her child?
Where are the bodies?
Feng Zhi sat in front of the small pit in a daze, his mind was blank for a moment, and he jumped up like crazy for a while, digging all the surrounding several zhang of land.
Could it be that my mother remembered it wrongly? Could it be buried under the peach tree?
Although I knew in my heart that since there was that little clothes wrapped in it, it was definitely it, but I was absolutely unwilling to face the fact that if the baby hadn't died that day, then where should he be?
Gu Nanyi didn't understand what was going on, but she didn't say a word to dig with her, until she dug up the mountain and found nothing, Feng Zhiwei fell asleep and fell on the messy soil.
She stared at the sky with nothingness.
Don't guess, it's another baby change.
The difference is that Concubine Qing exchanged other people's children for her own, while Gu Heng raised her own children by Mrs. Feng's side as an adopted son.
He was probably afraid that the child born by Mrs. Feng would be found out one day if entrusted to others, which would bring hidden dangers to Feng Zhiwei, so he pretended that the child died young, and took it out for a few days and then brought it back, and when he brought it back, his biological son became an adopted son.
He raised his own son by Mrs. Feng's side in the name of an adopted son, and he didn't tell her the truth until he died, just so that in the future, she could do what she had to do ruthlessly.
So when Mrs. Feng died, she didn't know that the child she had waited for for him for sixteen years to die was her biological son.
Generations of leaders of the Blood Floating Massacre, is it because of this kind of forbearance and ruthlessness and extreme single-mindedness that they can become the first person to be an iron-blooded guard?
Feng Zhi sank in the darkness slightly, thinking about the stone that wrapped the baby's small clothes, thinking about the lonely grave of Mrs. Feng and Feng Hao thousands of miles away, thinking that her mother didn't know that the person she loved had deceived her before she died, and didn't know that Hao'er turned out to be her biological son, thinking that if she knew, then everything would not happen at all?
Her cold fingers rubbed the cover of the letterhead, and for a long time, she burst into tears.
In the darkness, a murmur as thin as a gossamer slowly drifted away.
ββ¦β¦ What kind of ...... is this?"
==
Three months later.
The situation of the battle changed suddenly, and the Huaqiong Huofeng Army, which went to the border of Longbei to reinforce, was suddenly attacked and besieged by the imperial army after the defeat of Changning, and was trapped in Xiangshan on the border of Longbei.
At the same time, the Nanhai general suddenly sent troops to Xiliang, and the new Nanhai general Yao Yangyu pushed the Xiliang border defenders back for dozens of miles in the first battle, so Gu Nanyi was urged by Feng Zhiwei to return to Xiliang.
The Tiansheng army, which has been compressing and retreating, seems to be finally unable to hold back at this moment, and finally in front of the Dacheng army, it shows the spirit of the first big country million male army, and frequently attacks, constantly attacking and harassing the Dacheng realms, the Zhulu army was defeated and retreated one after another, Hang Ming was captured, except for the Shunyi iron cavalry that came and went like the wind, the situation of the Dacheng army was critical.
The newly established Dacheng regime, seeing that it was going to be stormy, the empress was very anxious, so she held a court meeting, saying that she wanted to drive the royal family to rescue Hang Ming and the trapped Hua Qiong, this idea was immediately opposed by all the generals, but the empress insisted on going her own way, saying that the thief and the king, instead of fighting the fire on all sides, it was better to smash the Yellow Dragon, and immediately led the elite soldiers in the world of 100,000 Shunyi iron horsemen, through the Heng River to the imperial capital.
The army marched day and night, and met the Huwei army near Luoxian, where it must pass, and after tentative contact, regardless of victory or defeat, they immediately camped and confronted each other across the Luoshui.
This winter is particularly cold, and the winter of Jianghuai in December is even more cold to the bone, Feng Zhiwei drilled out of the tent in a big hat, and looked at the looming Luoxian Palace on the opposite bank through the misty and rainy Li Lake.
"There should be people of very high status in the opposing camp." Feng Zhiwei said to Wu Ha, the leader of the Shunyi Iron Cavalry who came out, "The formation is very good. β
She pursed her lips, there was a sentence that she didn't say, the formation was not only good, but the style was also somewhat familiar.
"What are you afraid of?" Wu Ha said nonchalantly in unskilled Chinese, "In the future, the soldiers will flood the earth!" β
Feng Zhi smiled, and did not correct his misspeech, and said: "Wuha, remember what I said, don't be brave, think about the lives of soldiers, if I have something wrong, you don't want to die, just leave." β
"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Wuha asked stiffly, "Why did you say such frustrating things before the fight started?" β
"The battlefield is unforgiving, ever-changing, I'm just talking about a possibility." Feng Zhi said lightly, "But this is also an order, Wuha, I just said, remember it." β
Wuha thought for a long time, and then said, "Yes!" β
Feng Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes suddenly froze - a black light flashed on the other side, and an arrow flew and nailed to the top of the tent with a sound.
The soldiers rushed to escort the driver and took down the arrow, a letter was attached to the arrow, Feng Zhiwei took it down and looked at it, and smiled: "Persuasion book." After studying it carefully for a while, he nodded, "Well, the writing is good, 'If you steal the fake national body, you can be destroyed by one of the heavenly armies?'" The tone is also very loud. β
"Fuck him!" Wuha jumped to his feet and scolded, "Beat you soft-footed lamb to death!" β
Feng Zhiwei folded the letter, pondered for a while, and waved his hand: "Reply." β
The clerk arrived, Feng Zhi squinted slightly and looked at the other side, and said slowly: "If you take the great position of captivity, can you be destroyed by the destiny of heaven?" β
The clerk waited for a long time with a pen, but she did not speak.
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty, that's all? β
"That's it."
ββ¦β¦β
The letter attached to the rattling arrow and shot it, and a commotion on the other side could be faintly seen in the fog, and after a while, another rattling arrow was fired.
This reply seems to be very long, at least Feng Zhiwei read it for a long time, and then did not ask the clerk, and personally wrote a reply.
She writes very long and seriously, with a faint desolation and relief between her eyebrows, not like negotiating with the enemy coach Feijian in front of the battle, but like splashing ink on the screen, carefully writing about life.
After a while, the arrow was shot, and this time the letter was very simple, only four words, and the handwriting was obviously different from the previous two, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, and the ink was dripping.
"You're coming to see me!"
When everyone caught a glimpse of these words, they all showed anger - who dared to shout at His Majesty!
The sharp-eyed clerk found that the empress's fingers holding the letterhead seemed to tremble slightly.
Unlike the angry noise of everyone, the empress has always been silent and calm, and her figure looms in the cold fog of winter, making people feel lonely and lonely.
Then she smiled and said, "Prepare the boat." β
"Your Majesty!"
"I'm going to talk to each other." Feng Zhiwei smiled and looked back, "Wuha, don't stop me, people can't be brave, in the current situation, instead of fighting, it is better to find the best way out for you." β
"Your Majestyβ"
Wuha is not Han, he is not familiar with Chinese, his face is red and his neck is thick and he can't speak, the grassland man has always been the most obedient to orders and does not understand the change, and the rest of the generals are not here, no one can stop Feng Zhiwei, she handed over a letter to Wuha, and did not return to the boat, the oil lamp on the bow of the ship swayed leisurely, the light yellow light was blurred in the fog to create a dark color, the woman's long hair was slightly stirred in the wind under the light, and the white big hair was like a moving cloud, painted in the background of the bleak winter night.
Wuha looked at the back of the cloud-like distance, and a strange thought suddenly surged in his heartβas if this was the case, their gentle and noble empress would never return.
The back gradually disappeared into the mist, and Wuha was stunned, and he didn't know when his palm was wet.
==
Feng Zhiwei got off the boat, there were already soldiers waiting on the shore, seeing that she only brought a few guards and really came over in person, they all showed surprised looks, but the well-trained ones didn't talk much, bowed down to greet each other, with a respectful attitude and strict guards.
As soon as she rode and galloped, the person who came to greet her immediately was pure and fierce.
The old people saw each other, but in this place and this scene, the two of them had mixed feelings, Chun Yu looked at Feng Zhiwei in a daze, he was a close confidant of Ning Yi, and after the South China Sea, he knew the identity of Feng Zhiwei, at this time, thinking about the old things of Qingming, fighting under the tree, Longnan was in trouble, going around and around, and today, the old friend actually became the monarch of the enemy country, this life matter, where did it really start?
Feng Zhi raised her collar slightly, the snow-white face covered the snow-white face the size of a palm, and her eyes were as deep as this winter fog, she smiled at Chun Yumeng's strange and questioning gaze, and Chun Yumeng's eyes were wet - that smile was suddenly Wei Zhi, who had entered Qingming at the beginning of the year, calm, gentle, with a slightly cool and broad understanding of this earthly world.
"Your Majesty......" he said the title a little unnaturally, "please follow me." β
"Call me to know the subtleties." Feng Zhi smiled, feeling that it was really comforting to see the old man at this moment.
Abandon the boat and go ashore, all the way forward, the palace in front of him gradually appeared outline, Feng Zhi squinted slightly at the majestic and delicate palace, and smiled lightly.
Sure enough, it was here.
In the front hall, Feng Zhiwei calmly accepted the heavy search under the angry gaze of his guards, and then followed Chun Yumeng backwards, in front of the double-layer secret hall, Chun Yumeng stopped and said, "I can only go here." β
Feng Zhi nodded slightly, and was about to leave, when Chun Yumeng suddenly stopped her.
Feng Zhiwei looked back, Chun Yu looked at her eyes fiercely, his eyes were clear and sincere, "...... Talk well, don't be presumptuous...... Please...... Favor one another. β
Feng Zhi looked into his eyes, only to feel that his nose was slightly sour, pursed his lips, and nodded cautiously.
She stepped up the steps gently.
It's been four years since the last time I stepped on this step.
She remembered that seemingly peaceful but frightening day, on the day of the emperor's death, she stole two of the most important things and flew away, and since then the country has been divided and the world has been far away, looking back, four years.
It's been eight years since I first stepped on this step.
That day, the flowers fell like frost in front of the hall, and she walked around the front of the steps, and the light laughter seemed to still ring in her ears in a trance, as if she was still lying under the secret hall a moment ago and watched the stars and moon myths with him, looking back, eight years.
She had thought that she would never set foot on this land again, but when she finally returned one day, she did not regret it.
The skirt gently brushed the columns, eighteen columns, eighteen encounters, and the last one is engraved to miss, which was just a commemoration at the time, but now I know that it is a prophecy of fate.
The doors of the temple slowly opened.
The magnificent hall, which is dozens of feet long and wide, is not brightly lit, only a dim candlelight is lit at the end of the long carpet.
Under the candlelight, he was lightly dressed and thinly furned, leaning against the huge screen of the Nine Dragons to win the pearl, holding a wine jug, and slowly pouring wine.
The candlelight shone obliquely on his face, and his eyes under his long eyebrows were extremely black and his face was extremely white, vivid and vivid, like a thrush.
Time promotes aging, not the face.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, he didn't look up, his fingers steadily poured the wine, and only said lightly: "Coming?" β
She let out a "hmm", a little nasal and his fingers suddenly shuddered slightly, and a drop of wine fell on his fingertips.
The wine was cold, it was unheated wine, he waited for her to be distraught, got up and took the wine from under the secret hall, the wine was placed there before the secret temple was made, and today he finally remembered to taste it.
She stepped forward gently, and as soon as the candlelight dimmed, he looked up at her, his eyes were still and powerful, as if he had brought a knife, and at a glance he would strangle the unchangeable outline.
"You've come so far." He whispered, "I thought you were never coming back." β
"That's how it was." She smiled, "It's not ......"
She didn't continue, Ning Yi didn't seem to listen carefully, he looked at the lights attentively, and from the time she entered the hall, he didn't take another look, as if he was afraid that if he looked at it more, he would lose his fortune, and he would never be able to see it again.
He asked a little casually: "What do you mean by the sentence 'If you take the throne of captivity, it can be destroyed by the destiny of heaven'?" β
"Back then, I took out two things in this secret hall." Feng Zhi said lightly, "One is the arrow, which is returned to you, and the other is a secret decree, left by your father." β
"Oh?"
The corners of Feng Zhiwei's lips twitched into a sneering smile, "You should guess that his secret decree is reserved for the three old ministers, if the new emperor has any rebellion against the sky, he can be abolished and killed, and another sect disciple will be appointed as the emperor." β
Ning Yi smiled unexpectedly and said, "He won't worry about me until he dies." After a long silence, he said, "In that case, I have to thank you for not taking out this secret decree casually. β
"No need." Feng Zhi smiled shallowly, "I really want to thank you, I shouldn't thank you a lot." β
Ning Yi was silent, the two glanced at each other, and then turned away.
"Since you are here and have put forward this secret decree, you must have made a calculation in your heart......" Ban Xi Ning Yi asked softly, "What do you want?" β
"Those who follow me." Feng Zhiwei said, "There has been no wanton killing, and there has been no disturbance to the people, don't embarrass them." β
"They're all good generals." Ning Yi said, "I have been accepting it for a long time, so naturally I won't be embarrassed." He raised his eyes, and there was a joy in his eyes that had settled, gentle and warm.
"Zhiwei, your oath has been fulfilled, and your wish has come to an end, what about yourself?"
Feng Zhiwei was silent, Ning Yi smiled, and his expression was relaxed.
"Knowing the subtleties...... I'm glad you're finally back...... I still remember that year the ancient temple listened to the night rain, and there was a song "Dream of the Rivers and Mountains" between the light and fog of the residual lights, and I often dreamed of this song over the years...... This mess coaxed you to fight for me and kill, what did you change in the end? It's just half a bottle of thin wine, full of sideburns, and now your oath has come true, just to stop it, my position has changed your country, and I will throw this phoenix hegemony and the grievances of the two clans to others to worry about. β
Hopefully, he held out his hand to her.
"Knowing."
"For the rest of my life, I just want to worry about you......"
Feng Zhiwei suddenly interrupted him.
"Your Majesty is too wishful thinking to speak," she said indifferently, "you and I are enemies, and we have always been." It's a three-year-old child, and I also know that I know that I am a big rebel, and I am inseparable from you. You Ning took my Dacheng land, killed my father and mother, and destroyed my blood and slaughtered the righteous soldiers, you Ning Yi, and even personally attacked me, if it weren't for my life, I would have lost my life, I took your country, plundered your land, but between me and you, there is no complaint between the king and the defeat, and now the situation is unfavorable, I seek a way for my subordinates to survive, but I didn't say that I voluntarily let go, let alone want to beg for my life under you. β
Ning Yi paused, looked up at her, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
"Zhiwei, you are obviously just for that oath of rejuvenation......"
"That's what you think." Feng Zhiwei interrupted his words and laughed sneeringly, "If it weren't for you to think so, how could you be willing to retreat step by step and give up the land, so that I can build a country without too much effort?" β
She spread her hands briskly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, to be honest, you know me too well from the beginning, and it is impossible to accumulate power to restore the country under your nose, but fortunately, I am a woman, and the biggest advantage of women is that they can make men emotional, and men who are moved always have to be soft-hearted, such as covering up and retreating, such as saving my life, and even ...... Ceded territory. β
She smiled lightly, stared at Ning Yi, whose face slowly changed, without blinking, and said with satisfaction and relief: "So I said just now, thank you, but Your Majesty, if you think that I have fulfilled my vow to restore the country to my mother, I will take the initiative to return the land you gave up; If you think that I will fulfill my oath as long as Dacheng recovers, I don't mind Dacheng disappearing again; If you think that if you fulfill me, I will fulfill you, then you are wrong, I will never be willing to spit it out again, if you don't hide your strength too strong, I am indeed not an opponent, I have to plan for the future for my subordinates, I still won't stand here today, I will only be on the other side......" She smiled, calmly, and said word by word, "Raise the knife to you." β
Ning Yi stared at her, his face gradually turning pale.
Over the years, he has not hesitated to divide the country into two parts, and it has never been him who fulfilled her vow.
He used all his strength to seize this throne, but it was only to have absolute power, so that she could be free from her oath, if other brothers sat on this throne, who would allow her to live in this great rebellion?
When she was trapped in the vow to continue walking, he accompanied, he did not hesitate to lend the country to the world to complete her vow, he unscrupulously put himself into her back road, he did all this, for himself, but also for her peace of mind.
However, in the end, all the past feelings are just the love trap she set for her return to the country?
"Nope." After a while, he suddenly retracted his eyes, and drank the glass of wine he hadn't drunk in a bit of a trance, "Zhiwei, you're lying." β
He repeated low and forcefully, "You are lying, and if you really lied to me, you would not have said it." β
Feng Zhiwei watched him drink the wine, smiled and said, "Your Majesty seems to think that he knows me well?" But......" she said leisurely, "Your Majesty will soon find out whether I have lied or not." β
Ning Yi sneered and was silent.
"Even if you let go of the rebels, the culprit is the first evil, there is absolutely no forgivable reason, can I ask, what kind of death does Your Majesty plan to give me?" Feng Zhi stepped forward with a slight smile, propped up the table with both hands, and put a face that was as smiling as a rose in the wind, straight in front of him.
"Wine? White Aya? Carrying dirt bags? Give the knife? β
Her faint fragrance came, he suddenly lost his mind, the impression of her fragrance is elegant and noble, fragrant like Zhilan, today's fragrance is a little different, as if there is nothing, thick and faint, there is a bewitching taste, reminiscent of Ling Bo's ghost walking in the night clouds.
"What kind of death do you want?" Ning Yi poured himself another glass, his movements were steady, and the clear wine was slightly tilted, reflecting the woman's misty eyes...... For many years, she lived in a cloud and mist, and she didn't want to be seen by him until she died
"How's it coming, I mean you." She smiled, gently rolled up her sleeves, and spread her palms to him, "Let the concubine serve you one last time."
He smiled, his thin lips curled with a sneer, and he nonchalantly gave her the jug and glass.
The color of the wine is as jade as jade, the frost and snow on the wrist of Hao, a line of deep emerald falls from between the fingers of the fiber, and falls in the white jade glass jar, the surroundings are very quiet, and the brocade tent and embroidered curtain are heavy and drooping, isolating all the hustle and bustle of the world.
Including outside the palace jade steps, the roar and fighting of the rebels across the river.
The rebels belonging to her, the Shunyi Iron Cavalry and the Fire Phoenix Infantry, after she entered the camp tonight, launched another attack on the Tiansheng Army according to her orders.
The smoke and blood seemed to be blocked far away, not into the ears of the two men, and in the silence they carefully sought to listen to each other's breaths...... Quiet, serene, almost the same frequency, in the light smoke of the Jinding incense burner, the history is distinct, and it is lingering to death.
Turning the wine glass in her hand gently, she asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will be poisoned?" β
"This dark temple has not been entered for many years." He replied lightly, "And this pot of wine, which is placed in a dark compartment, has never been touched." β
"As for you......" He took a sip of wine calmly, and did not continue, Qing Lingling's eyes crossed like ice blades, and the smile was a cold glow on the tip of the knife, and he remained silent.
She laughed silently, looking at her fingers, since entering this secret hall, she has been searched and inspected by the world's most poisonous pharmacist, the most skilled craftsman, and the assassin who knows the most about assassination, not to mention a poison, it is a hair, if it does not belong to her, it has already been picked out.
It is true that at this moment, no one can poison him in order to turn the situation that is not in her favor.
But......
She smiled shallowly, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were bent, which turned out to be a playful and cute arc.
"Do you feel tightness in your chest?" The misty eyes that were born with moisture looked at him, and after the fog, she couldn't see the true expression in her eyes, "Do you feel the dantian tingling?" Do you feel that the blood is surging upwards and is rushing against your sea of qi? β
He also looked at her, and his face gradually turned slightly blue.
"Since the completion of this secret hall, it has been heavily guarded, and no one has really come in." She paced a few steps away, looking back at him with a smile, "But what about before it was completed?" β
He was shocked.
That year, when the secret hall was first built, from the drawing design to the completion of the palace, he did not let her interfere, but after it was completed, he took her in to have a look.
I still remember that time, the pear blossoms in front of the hall fell like light frost, her silver skirt brushed briskly across the moonlit ground, spinning a beautiful and brilliant flower, in the moonlight flower shadow, she held the pillar and looked back with a smile, and he was instantly hit by the graceful smile.
At that time, the affection was strong.
It was in that veinous night that the fragrance of pear blossoms wafted, in that smiling eyes that looked at each other, that her slender ten fingers brushed the dark grid under the wine jug, and laid the poison of assassination years later?
That smile is gentle, that eye is beautiful, and the warmth of the pear blossoms hand in hand is just an empty flower in a dream?
He held out his cherished intentions, intending to share the joy of the secret with her, but she had quietly left a foreshadowing for the future confrontation between life and death.
Again, she had always been his enemy.
Feng Zhi on the other side looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you still think that I was lying just now?" β
Ning Yi looked at her steadily, as if she wanted to find something illusory and soft in her autumn eyes, but Feng Zhiwei's eyes were constant.
"Who said that the victory or defeat was decided, and who said that I was willing to give up the rivers and mountains?" She pointed to the outside of the hall and said with a smile, "If I don't come in person, how can I make you drink in a disorder?" As soon as you die, the Tiansheng army will inevitably be in chaos, and it is difficult for me to say whether this great river and mountain will be Tiansheng or my Dacheng in the future. She smiled heartily and flicked her sleeves, "Even if I die here, it is enough to have your Ning Emperor accompany you to the funeral!" β
Ning Yi looked at her delicate and indifferent silhouette in the light, her elbow lightly against her heart, I don't know where it hurts, or there is no pain anywhere, but something is as brittle as glass, and it seems that it can be heard clearly, "click".
In a trance, it seemed to be the Nanhai Wharf that year, she held the baby and opened the curtain with a soft expression, leading him to reverie ten years later, she replied: "Ten years later, who knows what will happen?" Maybe strangers are opposite, maybe nodding friends, maybe it's still the same now, I worship you at the bottom of the steps, you are far away on the steps, maybe...... Maybe they meet and become enemies. β
Ten years later, the words have finally become a prophecy.
Slowly raised his sleeves, covered his lips, a little bright red stained the sleeves, his eyes were cold and silently erased, and she didn't know when she had turned her back, her back was straight and slender, he looked at the back, and suddenly felt that there was a sentence that he didn't ask now, maybe he would never have a chance.
"You...... Have you ever loved me? "Just a few words, a difficult question.
She paused. Looking back for a long time, he smiled and spoke clearly.
"Nope."
There was a suffocating silence in the deep hall, and a begonia blooming brightly outside the long window suddenly withered silently.
"Good".
After a long time, he finally smiled too, and the rumored face was peerless, and at this moment he smiled not much better than the withered flower.
He stopped looking at her, but his eyes had gradually sunken, and he suddenly clapped his hands gently.
It's just such a crisp and calm sound, and the aftermath of the hall is still lingering.
In the distance, there was a sudden echo like a roar of mountains and seas, like the waves of the sea swept by a hurricane and suddenly erected a thick wall like a huge wall, standing in front of the Golden Temple, and instantly suppressed the sound of killing that was approaching step by step.
He smiled slightly, he didn't need to look at him to know that those vertical and horizontal roads, those corners of the palace, after the applause fell, countless black undercurrents would gush out, that was the elite army he was secretly ambushing, and would use the shining cold light of the hundred refining blades to meet the rebels who tried to trample on the imperial power and put the blood-stained military boots on the jade steps.
Up to now, affection and honey can't match your life and death, and his twelve years of precious heart can no longer be used to water this poisonous poppy.
It's enough to allow her to turn over to this day
"Hey, I'm still losing." She looked out of the hall and said in a relaxed tone, "It's a pity. β
"yes, alas." He coughed lightly, coughing up blood, "You see, even if you left this killing move many years ago, even if you want my life, your Dacheng Empire is still doomed to collapse today." β
"It's okay," she smiled, "it's my honor to die with you." β
He looked at her, and she smiled gracefully, just as he had seen her before.
I always thought that this half of his life was difficult to operate, for the future wind and rain rainbow, so he supported him to wait patiently for those years, but it turned out that he thought he just thought.
He slowly opened his eyes, his five fingers tightened, and the jade cup in his palm shattered.
Pouring blood, he indifferently commanded into the air, "Someone." β
At the four corners of the main hall, several figures immediately flashed ghostly.
She glanced up, turned calmly, and her long thick eyelashes drooped to hide her dark, changing eyes.
Those thoughts that are difficult to say will be buried with this body......
Behind him, his voice was cool, and his words cut gold and jade.
"Take her down and put her in a dark prison. Three days later......"
He closed his eyes.
"Ling Chi."
==
In the winter of the fourth year of Fengxiang, Dacheng Iron Cavalry encountered the Tiansheng army in Luo County, the empress was captured in the battle, and the army was driven back, and then the major generals of Dacheng received the empress's handwriting, no one knew what was said in the handwriting, but the lights of the military tents were not extinguished that night, and the sound of sighing was faintly heard, and then the army contracted across the army, and there were vague rumors in Dachengguo, saying that the empress had been a vassal to the Tiansheng Emperor, but what the truth was, no one was clear, only vaguely rumors, after the fire phoenix handsome Huaqiong received the empress's handwritten letter, she first sighed and said: " It's all fate......" and then added, "It's okay to see it...... you can see it" but I don't know who she is talking about.
Immediately, this handsome woman did something that shocked the world, she first led the army to surrender to the Tiansheng court, the world was shocked by the people, and countless sour Confucian masters wrote poems and essays to ridicule, and the praise of the first female general for many years has turned into today's tongue, but this handsome woman who has always followed her heart, but laughed and sneered, and said: "If she wants to fight, I will fight, if she wants to surrender, I will surrender, why do you care so much?" β
The changes in the situation on the handsome side of the world affected the hearts of the people of the world, but the emperor fell into a small chaos, and the most secret news circulated in the mouths of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, with unfathomable panic and unease.
ββ¦β¦ I heard that His Majesty's Eucharist is not ......"
"It was said that she took the Empress Dacheng and was poisoned that night......"
"Didn't you say that the empress would be late tomorrow? That kind of big rebellion should be the nine clans, but the nine clans are really gone...... I've already killed the Ning family......"
"Don't care what the Empress Dacheng is not the Empress, Your Majesty hasn't been to the court for a few days, if the news is true......"
"Oops......"
The suspicious eyes of the officials crossed the high wall, and legend has it that the empress was imprisoned in the secret prison of the palace, where the mother and son of the Feng family were imprisoned.
Very few people noticed that behind the high wall, there was a shadow in the shadow of the angle between the two houses, clinging to the wall.
He stuck to it very tightly, as if he had been born on the wall, the winter wind was cold, the wall was cold, and it was through the hall, cold to the bone, the man's exposed fingers outside the tights, the knuckles were blue, and there was a thin layer of frost, and I don't know how long he had been there.
A group of guards walked through the alley beneath him, unaware.
This is the alley at the entrance of the dark prison, very narrow, the guards keep walking in the opposite direction, there is almost no gap, only every six hours when the guard is changed, there will be a short gap, people with extremely high martial arts can take the opportunity to sweep in, but the time is extremely short, only enough to make an action, this person is obviously six hours ago, taking advantage of the gap between the changing of the guard to sweep the wall and stick there, waiting for six hours later, the change of guard again to sneak in.
In such weather, for six hours, in order not to be conspicuous, only wearing thin tights, ordinary people have already frozen to death, but this person is silent, and even his breathing controls the faint white air.
There was a commotion below, and the hour came, and at the moment of the changing of the guard, the man fell from the high wall and swept like smoke behind the fence gate in the corner alley.
A group of guards came over, the first carrying the food box, apparently to deliver food, and the man hid in the shadows behind the iron fence gate, and waited until the last man walked by, and silently stuck behind him.
The last person didn't notice anything, and after walking for a while, something was wrong in his heart, Huo Ran looked back, only to see the empty road.
"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong?" First, one of the guards looked back and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing." The possessed Xiao Zhang shrunk his neck and said with a smile, "This cold wind blows through the hall and silences people." β
"What are you doing suspiciously?" The person in front of him smiled and said, "I think you're scared by the people inside." β
"That's right." That Xiao Zhang touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "That woman is very miserable, and she looks scary...... Your Majesty is too, a great hatred, one knife kills, why torture people like this......"
"Shut up! Did you say that? The leading guard screamed, and Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he quickly silenced him.
The man behind him, wearing a stiff mask on his face, has been sticking to Xiao Zhang's back like a light smoke, and from an oblique angle, Xiao Zhang's shadow is slightly thicker, as if he has two pairs of feet, which looks really weird.
Hearing this conversation, the man's light body suddenly paused, and after a while, Xiao Zhang was aware again, turned back again, the empty road made him tremble, and he couldn't help urging the people in front of him to speed up his pace, and the leading man kept going down, showing the waist card to the guards inside, and the door was opened with a squeak.
The moment the door was opened, a fierce wind suddenly swept in, rolling up the sand and gravel on the ground and rushing into people's eyes, and everyone sighed, rubbing their eyes and rubbing their eyes, blocking the wind, and they didn't notice that there was a lighter wind in the gust of wind.
The dark prison is iron-walled, dark and gloomy, there is no skylight, the exit is that one, there is no one to guard inside, it is said that a master was imprisoned in the early years, and after he held the prison guard hostage and took the key to escape, there were no more guards in the royal secret prison, and it was replaced by endless mechanisms.
The designer of this secret prison once boasted that he wanted to go from this secret prison to his destination without any disturbance - unless he did not have long legs, so even to deliver food, after opening the door, he placed the food box on a depression in the ground, put the weight on it, and the mechanism was linked, and the food box would be teleported to the door of the cell, and the prisoner would take it himself.
At this moment, the man floated in.
In the darkness, it was like a shadow without long legs.
He seemed to be walking on a staircase, but the soles of his feet were finger-width gaps from the ground.
It is possible for ordinary masters to sweep over the ground without touching the ground, but the distance is limited, and they cannot walk slowly.
The man seemed to walk very easily, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was strange, his hands and feet seemed to be a little stiff, the knuckles of his fingers exposed outside his sleeves were blue, and his body was trembling slightly.
He slowly came all the way, unfazed, and when he turned a corner, he saw the iron fence in front of him.
In the fence, on the tattered straw, there was a dying woman, and in the chaotic darkness you could feel that debilitating posture, her shoulders were as thin as steel knives, cutting people's eyes, and the cell was full of rotten cotton wool and dirty straw, stained with blackened flesh and blood, which was shocking.
The man trembled, almost landed, he had been quiet all his life, only this woman could touch his heart, in a panic, he quickly collected his mind and floated over, his finger was raised, and a diamond flake between his fingers had broken the secret lock on the door, and then floated in.
He entered the cell, and the woman was still motionless, and the man hurriedly swept over, stretched out his hand to help her up, and as soon as his hand touched her body, he felt that his hand was slippery, and when he raised his fingers, he saw that the blood was covered with broken fleshβher skin was completely shattered, and she could not touch it at all.
The man knelt in front of her, his hands raised, and for a moment the sky froze.
His blood-stained fingers stiffened to the sky, his posture was like a fossil as if he could not be freed from immortality, a ray of light in the crack of the iron wall illuminated his masked face, and the eyes on his face were a special film, and the constant light in the film was surging for the first time in his life, turning out infinite horror and despair, and there was a strange faint mist at the bottom of his eyes, slowly gathering.
This life has gone through the wind and waves and does not move, this life the world is closed and does not know the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys, this life because she opened up Hongmeng, I thought that I could see the colorful new universe from now on, but since then I have encountered infinite thoughts of pain and ...... Sadness today.
There is something in the bottom of the eye that is very wet, hot and swollen, and it is full of people who want to roll out of the sockets, and he thinks that he will never experience this moment in this life, but fate refuses to let him taste the pain of life one by one.
It turns out that this is called tears.
It turns out that this is called despair.
He trembled his fingers and slowly leaned into his eyes, as if he wanted to touch the tears that were about to flow, and as if he wanted to cover his eyes like this, not to face the heart-rending scene.
But suddenly I heard a faint sigh.
This voice is too familiar, so familiar that dreams and souls often encounter, and the end of the world is also like being in the ear, he is like being struck by thunder, Huo Ran turned his head.
The dark cell is a turning design, and on the side of this cell, a slender shadow of a person is faintly revealed.
The shadow was too familiar, so familiar that he trembled all over, and his heart was beating with a sharp pain, as if it had suddenly cracked just now, and then it was violently burned by the soldering iron, and it was forcefully closed in all directions with a snort.
He wanted to stand up for the first time, but his body shook and his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, for people who were as closed as iron and stone, this kind of great sorrow was followed by the violent emotional impact of great joy, and he couldn't bear it for a while.
The man sighed again, and the sigh was full of pity.
He looked up, his eyes bursting with infinite joy, and in an instant he dried away the tears that had not yet flowed, and he could already hear from that sigh that she was safe and sound.
He immediately let go of the woman in his hand, swept towards the cell, and opened the door as he could.
In the dark, Feng Zhiwei was dressed and looked at him quietly.
He stood at the door, looked at her so carefully, and then let out a sigh of infinite satisfaction, strode over, and suddenly opened his arms and embraced her.
"Micro ...... ......He whispered her name over and over again, full of great surprise at what he had lost and regained.
Feng Zhiwei listened to his excited and surprised tone, and thought of the jade-carved young man who was standing three feet away from him when he first met, and his eyes were only one foot and three inches under his feet.
Her jade carving young master became a human being because of her, but she took him out of the closed world, but she never gave him true joy in life.
If he had been left where he was, he might have been able to live a chaotic and happy life.
Yes? Wrong? In exchange for being speechless at the moment.
Gu Nanyi hugged her tightly, rubbed his face lightly on the side of her neck, and said in a low voice, "I'm so happy...... I'm so happy......"
Feng Zhiwei's eyes were slightly wet, and he said lightly, "Hmm." With a sound, he hugged him tightly with his backhand, feeling that his body was too cold and wanted to give him a little warmth.
She whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry. β
There was silence.
Then he tilted his head and whispered in her ear, "No, I like all this." β
If you don't experience such hellish pain and despair, how can you have the great joy of dying in this desperate situation?
Everything she gives, he likes.
Feng Zhiwei was silent, Gu Nanyi had already let go of her, grabbed her sleeve, and said, "Go." β
Feng Zhi didn't move, and Gu Nanyi looked back at her in amazement.
"This cell is the cell where my mother and my brother stayed back then." Feng Zhiwei had a desolate smile on the corner of his lips, and gently stroked the iron wall, "I am still in the corner of the wall here, and I feel the old bloodstains, I don't know if it was left when my younger brother was stepped on and poured poisoned wine." β
Gu Nanyi stretched out his hand to hold her hand, but halfway through his hand he remembered something, he only pulled her sleeve, Feng Zhiwei didn't pay attention, and only said leisurely: "Nanyi, I'm sorry I didn't speak just now, because just now, I didn't want to go with you." β
Gu Nanyi stared at her with wide eyes.
"Since Changxi thirteen years later, all my strength has been left to my mother's last wish." She sat down slowly, looking blankly at the void, "My mother knows me very well, she took me back to Qiufu, let such a harsh environment force out my inner anger and unwillingness, she used a nearly tragic and rupture death, with her brother's sixteen-year life waiting for death, I was already angry and unwilling to force me into a corner, and at the end of my life, the oath she forced me to make has bound me forever." β
She stretched out her palm and looked at her white jade fingers blankly, "Revenge, revenge, two missions, I only live for this in my life, I also thought that in order to repay my mother and younger brother, for the sake of their souls for a long time, I must do this, for this at the cost of this life and the common people." β
"However," she smiled wistfully, "Providence has made such a big joke, I have been thinking about it all those days, if my mother knew that Feng Hao was her biological son, would she still choose such a dead end?" I thought about it for a long time, she wouldn't. β
"My mother is such a woman who loves and hates clearly, and her sex is as fierce as fire, she dares to do all that, it is based on her love for your uncle, once she knows that your uncle has been lying to her, she only has hatred, where will she spare her life for his last wishes?"
"She can't even let go of the remains of her own child, and earnestly asks me not to forget to worship, if her biological child is alive by her side, how can she be willing to let him die instead?"
"So." Feng Zhiwei looked up at Gu Nanyi and smiled miserably, "Actually, everything should not exist, my mother's last wish does not exist, Dacheng's restoration does not exist, and the so-called revenge does not exist." β
Gu Nanyi looked at her in a daze, he didn't quite understand what Feng Zhiwei meant, he only vaguely felt that since the stone wrapped in blood clothes was dug up in the mountain, all the beliefs that supported Feng Zhiwei were also smashed by that stone.
Together with her painstaking planning and forbearance and sacrifice all the way, together with this battle for the country, she lost all her reason for existence, shattered into powder, fell into her eyes, and turned into a sour tear at this moment.
"Look." Feng Zhi said in a low voice, "You, Ning Yi, Helian Zheng, Zhizhi, Zong Chen, Blood Futu, Hua Qiong...... You are doing everything you can in your own way to fulfill my vow and make it possible in the ...... Even the sacrifice and damage are minimized, but no matter how to avoid and fulfill, the war will always kill people, those good sons, those sturdy young people who are also raised by their fathers and mothers, those fresh lives...... Because of your uncle's selfish design, because of my mother's deceived sacrifice, because of my forced oath, buried on the battlefield, my soul fell into a foreign land, and Helian, Helian, he ......" She choked up and couldn't continue, and slowly turned her face away.
Gu Nanyi half-knelt in front of her, and from a distance, he could also feel Feng Zhiwei's despair and sadness at this moment, he gently pressed her shoulder, and said, "No, it's not your fault." β
Feng Zhi stared at the blurred black shadow on the wall in a daze, and said softly: "Yes, maybe it's not my fault, but I feel that I don't deserve happiness anymore, I, a person stained with countless innocent blood, if I can still live calmly, how can I be worthy of those souls who cry day and night?" β
Gu Nanyi looked at her seriously, thinking that she was not joking, so she didn't want to think about it and said, "Then I will die with you." β
He said plainly, without thinking, as if he was not talking about life and death, but going on a trip together tomorrow.
Feng Zhiwei didn't look at him unexpectedly, and smiled calmly, this is Gu Nanyi, he doesn't care about everything, including life and death.
If it was Ning Yi, what would he say? He will say - you want to die? Ask me first if I agree or not.
The corners of her lips curled, and she smiled almost playfully.
Some things are never justified, Ning Yi, do you understand?
"Okay, let's die together." She held Gu Nanyi's sleeve, and her tone was calm and decisive.
Gu Nanyi nodded, looked around, and said, "But I don't want to die in Tiansheng Palace." β
"I don't want to." Feng Zhiwei said, "Then you take me out, I am sealed with internal force." β
Gu Nanyi nodded, turned around to pick her up, Feng Zhiwei said softly on his back: "Nanyi, why are you so cold?" You're cold, aren't you? β
At the beginning, Gu Nanyi wore cold iron and heavy shackles for her, and she fell into a cold place, and she couldn't stay in a cold place for too long, so she stayed in the warm Xiliang for a long time, and now Feng Zhiwei was lying on his back, and he was cold through his clothes, so he knew that the cold was on.
"I'm going to die anyway." Gu Nanyi said dryly, "It doesn't matter. β
Feng Zhi smiled, put his face on his back, and said, "I'll give you hot too." β
Gu Nanyi said "um", obviously the temperature on her face couldn't resist the cold in her body, but he was still very satisfied: "Warm." β
Feng Zhiwei's face was pressed against his back, and tears flowed silently, reflecting a shimmering stream.
Gu Nanyi carried her and was about to go out, when Feng Zhiwei suddenly said, "Wait a minute." β
Then she turned her head, her arms stretched out, swaying wildly on the ground, and said quietly while pinching her throat: "Concubine Qing...... Qing Fei ...... Give me back my child...... Qing Fei ...... Qing Fei ...... Give me back my life......"
Gu Nanyi looked at her in amazement, not knowing what she had suddenly gone crazy.
Suddenly, there was a scream, and the woman in the cell diagonally opposite to her body suddenly jumped up, and she didn't know where she got the strength when she was dying, so she rushed to the corner of the cell, regardless of the rough iron wall grinding the wounds all over her body, stuck to the wall, stared at the ground and screamed, screaming in infinite horror: "Don't ...... Don't come to me...... Don't come...... Don't come ......."
On the ground, the glimmer of light exposed in the iron crack reflected the shadow of Feng Zhi's arm swimming slightly, the shadow spasmodically writhing, it seemed to be close to far in front of Concubine Qing's feet, as if she was about to climb close at any time, Concubine Qing screamed almost madly, squeezed into the wall regardless of the pain, the flesh on the broken back was rubbed against the iron wall, the broken flesh fell, and the wall was painted bright red, Gu Nanyi only found out at this time that the color of the wall was different from the rest of the walls, dark red and black, as if layers of blood had accumulated.
"You see, this is what happens when you do too much bad work." Feng Zhiwei withdrew his arm and said lightly, "I didn't expect Ning Yi to be more ruthless than me, I didn't kill her, I have been here for the past few days, and I have scared her once a day." Ha ha. β
She laughed, but there was no joy in her laughter, and then she turned her head, didn't look at Concubine Qing, who was paralyzed on the ground, and said, "Let's go." β
Gu Nanyi nodded, carrying her still levitating and walking through the dark prison, his steps at this time were much slower than before, Feng Zhiwei heard his slight breathing, and in the impression that Gu Nanyi never seemed to be able to breathe, she wiped his forehead with a handkerchief with pity, and remembered that he was wearing a mask.
"I want to see you." She rested her chin on the back of his neck and asked.
Gu Nanyi thought for a while and said, "Zong Chen said, don't let others see it." β
"Why?"
Gu Nanyi shook his head, and Feng Zhi smiled: "I should always be an exception." β
She pursed her lips, thinking that she had actually seen him, and Zong Chen didn't let him show his face to protect him.
"Hmm." Gu Nanyi had no objection to this, and raised his hand to get the mask, when his hand suddenly stopped.
A strong light came, and the two of them looked up, only to realize that the prison door was already crowded with people.
The three layers of the Imperial Forest Army's chief guards are densely arranged in front of the corner alley, and the level of water leakage is so impassable that even an ant with wings doesn't want to fly over.
Seeing them come out, everyone raised the tip of their guns and made a loud bang.
In the loud noise, the lights on both sides of the corridor lit up one after another, like a string of night pearls flying under the nine heavens, illuminating all sides brightly.
Under the light, on the high platform in the middle of the crowd, Ning Yi was lying half-up, his face was blue, and he looked at them lightly while coughing lowly.
Gu Nanyi didn't hurry to pull out his belt and tied Feng Zhiwei tightly on his back.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Ning Yi's sleeves were hidden at the corners of his lips, hiding a trace of blood coughed up from the corners of his lips, Feng Zhiwei's poison was very powerful, and he couldn't get rid of it by all means.
If you can't solve it, you don't have to solve it anymore, she wants his life, just take it, but the premise is that everyone is together.
"I told you in the thirteenth year of Changxi." He looked at Feng Zhiwei almost gently, and said with a smile, "The territory of the world, the wind and rain, the water and the soil, will eventually belong to me, you will become ashes, turn bones, that is also my ashes, my bones - so, if you want to go out, you can, turn into ashes, become bones, and be buried in the imperial mausoleum with me." β
Feng Zhi looked at him slightly, her eyes were also very deep and hard, through such a distant firelight, Ning Yi seemed to feel that the light in her eyes flashed, and the diamond-like brilliance was refracted, but in an instant, she was still so misty, and her tone was not hurried, and she said the most cruel and vicious words in the world: "Your Majesty supports and refuses to die, isn't it just waiting for me to turn into ashes?" β
She smiled: "That's up to you." He turned to Gu Nanyi and said, "Let's go." β
Ning Yi closed his eyes, some of the pain was so painful that it was called numbness, the heart was still here, but the heart was gone.
She tried her best to see him die, and at this moment she was still waiting for his ending according to others' laughter, he and her, entangled in fighting for half a lifetime all her life, stirring up the wind and rain, it turned out that she was just waiting for this moment to see who died first.
Don't die, never stop.
So be it.
He smiled, his blue eyebrows glowing with a faint death, looking at Feng Zhiwei, who was calm as usual, and suddenly wanted to ask one last question.
If you can't finish it in this life, maybe you can hope for the next life.
"Zhiwei, tell me, how can we be together."
Feng Zhi raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to see the end of fate through the blue sky, and replied lightly for a while: "Atonement for your sins and cross life and death." β
Beyond life and death.
Ning Yi chewed silently, raised his head, and waved his hand silently.
Thousands of swords rose and fell like a crystal wall, and the gentle collision also converged into a loud bang.
Gu Nanyi flew up with Feng Zhi on his shoulder.
"Nanyi, we've killed too much." Feng Zhiwei said softly on his back, "If you can, you won't kill." β
"Okay."
Both of them are very calm, both of them are very calm, both of them know that when the manpower is exhausted, in the face of this layer of palace gates, there are thousands of troops, and no one can break out.
That's okay too.
Leaving is a must, and it doesn't matter if you stay alive or not.
Gu Nanyi's figure flashed, and rushed straight to the knife array in front of the road, looking at the indomitable appearance, as if he wanted to crash into it and commit suicide, the soldiers were stunned, Gu Nanyi was close to the front in an instant, and when there was still a distance of three inches, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked it, kicked off a long knife in front, and the long knife flew out, and thousands of rays of light were reflected under the moonlight, and the oncoming guards were dazzled and squinted, and then they all felt that their hands were light, and their blades had flown out of their hands at some point, the knife hit the sword, the sword bullet flew into the gun, and the gun hit the face, Venus shot into his companions headlong, ouch hey Ding Ling was screaming, the figure shuttled like a wave, Gu Nanyi had already crossed the corridor and stood outside the first layer of encirclement.
As soon as he stood still, a somewhat round figure suddenly rushed out.
This man was swept down from the high platform, obviously a little fat, but his movements were faster than everyone else, he was crying while rushing, and he was not running slowly, and he threw tears and snot everywhere while running, and no one dared to hide.
He just shook his nose and rushed over, and the last snot wanted to be thrown on Gu Nanyi's body, but Gu Nanyi avoided it in disgust, and it was rare to open Chrysostom and say a word to him, "Get out." β
Gu Nanyi told people to get out of his kindness, but this person didn't intend to accept his kindness, his round body was blocked in front of him, his neck was stalked, and he said angrily: "If you want to get out, you get out, leave her and get out!" β
Feng Zhiwei smiled softly on Gu Nanyi's back.
"Ning Cheng." She said gently, "Long time no see." β
"Phew." Ning Cheng spat viciously at her, "Don't say hello to me, I'll be angry when I see you!" β
Feng Zhi smiled, closed his eyes, and said lazily: "Ning Cheng, get out of the way, we don't want to kill you." β
"I want to kill you." Ning Cheng glared, "You kill Your Majesty, I don't want to live anyway, let's die in a pile, just right." β
"That's fine, but I'm a little curious." Feng Zhiwei opened his eyes and looked at him, "I've always wondered, how did you get to him?" Why is he so lenient with you? Since everyone is going to die, it doesn't hurt you to answer, right? β
"What can't be answered?" Ning Cheng exhaled angrily, "I met Your Majesty when I was eight years old, I was studying art in the mountains at that time, Your Majesty was only seven years old at the time, he was seriously injured, and he was dying, his subordinates found quack doctors to treat him, not like he was curing the disease but like he wanted to kill him, I couldn't look past it and went to personally instruct, no one believed me, saying that my method would kill people, Your Majesty suddenly woke up at that time, and believed me without saying a word - we are friends of life and death, do you understand?" β
"Oh, I see." Feng Zhi smiled faintly, thinking that it was Ning Cheng who saved Ning Yi's life when the Blood Floating Massacre exploded, if there was no such rescue that day, would there not be so many causes and effects in the future?
"Your Majesty has been very good to me." Ning Cheng drew his sword and faced Gu Nanyi, "It's not easy for me to look at him all these years, so no matter what today, I'm going to leave you here." β
"Well, I understand." Feng Zhiwei nodded, with a look of deep sympathy, and then said thoughtfully, "But Ning Cheng, I have observed Your Majesty's old injury, your original treatment method may really be wrong......
"Huh?" Ning Cheng didn't expect her to suddenly say this, he was very wary of Feng Zhiwei, he knew her tricks too well, but Feng Zhiwei talked about this, it was indeed a doubt in his heart for many years, when Ning Yi was injured and injured his internal organs, the local famous doctors said that it was not suitable for cold drug treatment, he found his own way, and used the cold Xuanbing jade to calm the fire poison, and for this reason, he also stole the master's treasure, and later Ning Yi's fire poison turned into a cold disease, and the old illness lingered for many years, he always wondered in his heart, is he really wrong? Now that Feng Zhiwei said it, he couldn't help but be stunned, couldn't help but take a step forward, and asked eagerly: "Then what did you say wrong?" Is it the wrong use of Xuanbing Jade......"
Before the word "right" could be spoken, Feng Zhiwei's finger suddenly flicked, and a faint light flashed, Ning Yi was dizzy in his head, and roared angrily before he fell, "You female ...... who kills a thousand knives without conscience"
He didn't have time to finish scolding, his eyes rolled, his body tilted, Feng Zhi raised his hand slightly to support him, stuffed something in his arms with a very fast gesture, and chuckled in his ear: "Hey, don't be afraid, in fact, your Xuan Bingyu is really not wrong, otherwise Ning Yi would have died a long time ago......"
The little consciousness that Ning Cheng had left, hearing this, was just enough for him to be dizzy......
He was dizzy, Feng Zhiwei didn't help him, his hand was loose and Ning Cheng fell down, Ning Yi on the high platform was shocked as if he wanted to stand up, his legs were weak and he sat back again, and a group of guards hurriedly rushed up and hugged Ning Cheng back.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was fine, Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were even colder, but Gu Nanyi didn't look at the top, and continued to move forward with Feng Zhiwei.
The crowd surged over like a wave, and the bright light of the swords, guns, swords, and halberds continued into a huge light curtain, Gu Nanyi swam around in the light curtain, like a jumping black lightning through the cracks in the steel, splitting, sticking, kicking, picking, rising, falling...... Endlessly, with the strength of one person to resist the army.
The jade sword on his waist has already been shot, the pale white sword light tail end of the sword hilt is blood-red, when the real power is at its peak, the blood light skyrockets, faintly showing the shape of a pagoda, the blood-colored floating slaughter with a whistling wind and a crying scream cover towards the surging crowd, one step injure, the red and white pillar of light shrouded, ordinary soldiers are not his enemies.
There was a giant pestle roaring in, I don't know which strong man threw it, Gu Nanyi swept lightly, stepped on the giant tree with one foot, only lightly stepped on it, the cannonball-like momentum stopped immediately, Gu Nanyi's jade sword slashed, the blood red moon and white light flashed, and the golden pestle cracked into tens of millions of pieces!
Like moonlight bursting out on all sides.
The groans rang out, and some of the guards who got close were hit by the shards.
The fragments were still shooting fiercely, Gu Nanyi pulled one hand, drew an arc of a circle, and a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in front of him, turning silently endlessly, and all the fragments around him were swept into the whirlpool, and then turned into powder in an instant.
The various weapons handed over disappeared into the vortex and disappeared instantly.
The crimson moon-white halo is like the moonlight with supernatural destructive powers, illuminating wherever it shines and collapses.
However, in an instant, as if from the sea of people, leaving behind a heavy overlapping crowd of people who had temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, Gu Nanyi rushed out of the second layer of encirclement, and when he looked up, he saw the towering palace gate opposite, and countless cold arrow tips.
The huge crossbow machine at the head of the palace gate was rolling and turning, and the city head was densely packed with archers, full of strings and bows, motionless, Gu Nanyi had just taken a step forward, and with a "bang", a straight row of crossbow arrows was suddenly nailed to his feet, only an inch away from his toes.
A person flashed out of the city, with armor on his body, his face was still very young, he looked at the city in a daze, his expression was complicated.
Feng Zhiwei also let out a soft "ah" and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yao......"
Gu Nanyi snorted, meaning that Yao Yangyu would kill him as long as he dared to release arrows.
Yao Yangyu stood on the second floor of the palace gate in a daze, his fingers firmly grasping the wall, looking at the two people below.
He received an order tonight to leave behind the assassins who dared to break into the palace, as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, this is his responsibility, but when he came over before, he met Chun Yumeng, and this battlefield brother said to him very strangely, Wei Zhi is back, you should be careful.
He was puzzled by this sentence and the second monk, Wei Changxi was involved in the turmoil of the prince of Chu in the eighteenth year, was demoted to Shanbei, Changxi died of illness in the twentieth year, at that time he also cried bitterly, sent someone to Shanbei to hang the sacrifice, and reported that he had already been buried and did not know where to bury it, and then thought of it from time to time, I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart, and felt that the silent death of this teacher, friend and benefactor was the biggest regret in this life, and sometimes I also felt puzzled, Wei Zhi was so surprised and brilliant a person, how could he die so obscurely?
This doubt has finally been answered today, when he saw Gu Nanyi on the top of the city tower, saw the weak woman on Gu Nanyi's back, and saw Ning Cheng's expression, he suddenly understood everything.
Wei Zhi, the first capable minister of the unparalleled national warrior of the Changxi Dynasty, and Feng Zhiwei, the first female emperor of the world, swept the world in Dacheng.
Yao Yangyu looked at the pair of men and women quietly, thinking of Wei Siye who played flying ball and Master Gu who blew the whistle in Qingming Academy, Wei Zhi who fell in front of the Nanhai Ancestral Hall and the blind King of Chu, Wei Zhi who was captured under the Baitou Cliff and Hua Qiong who sacrificed his life to protect her, and Helian Zheng who jumped like thunder under the downstairs of Dayue Pucheng, he fell to his knees in the snow, and Wei Zhi was shocked.
Suddenly, his eyes were wet.
I see, I see.
His fingers slowly retracted, and the thoughts in his eyes were surging and gradually calming down.
Feng Zhiwei kept smiling, looking at him with nostalgia and joy, and suddenly said at this moment: "It's not good, Xiao Yao is a righteous person, and he wants to release water desperately, let's do it first, don't make him embarrassed." β
Gu Nanyi glanced at her, thinking that it was not a good thing for someone to release water? But he didn't disobey her opinion, he was on tiptoe, and flew up to the second floor of the palace gate first.
Yao Yangyu watched him pounce in a daze, his lips squirmed, and he really didn't give the order to release the arrow.
Behind him, a figure suddenly flashed.
That person appeared extremely strangely, as if he was born on the spot, and even Gu Nanyi, who rushed straight over, only saw a pair of arms suddenly grabbing Yao Yangyu's throat!
Yao Yangyu's mind was on Gu Nanyi Feng Zhiwei at the moment, where did he think that there was someone behind him, and he didn't even have time to dodge, but Gu Nanyi subconsciously slapped a palm and hit the person who attacked him.
As soon as the man's sleeves were raised, he took the palm lightly, he didn't move, his fingertips had already landed on Yao Yangyu's throat, but Gu Nanyi shook and almost fell downstairs.
Feng Zhiwei felt that the cold in his body was heavier than a while, and it was obvious that he was fighting to save people, and it was this cold weather when the snow was about to fall, and the cold had already been triggered, she gritted her teeth and endured not to let her teeth fight, so as not to disturb Gu Nanyi.
The man didn't hurry to restrain Yao Yangyu, glanced at Gu Nanyi with a lifeless look, shook his head and said, "Why do you still have this temper like this?" At this time, he went to save the enemy? β
Gu Nanyi stared at him unmoved, but Feng Zhiwei's heart moved-this tone of voice is very strange.
Look closely at the man, wearing a mask, wrapped in a silver robe, obviously such a bright color, but wearing it on him still makes people feel dull and inconspicuous, this person has a hidden feeling around him, like a silver snake spitting silently in the dark.
This kind of dress and temperament are very familiar.
"Stand down." The man restrained Yao Yangyu and ordered the soldiers who rushed up, his voice a little hoarse.
Yao Yangyu immediately said: "Stand down, stand down!" β
He didn't look flustered, and even looked a little cheerful, Feng Zhi smiled bitterly.
"It's good to know how to cooperate." The man giggled and laughed, "You two, come with me." β
"No need." Feng Zhiwei said indifferently, "What should I call you?" Commander of Jin Yuwei? Or, the Bloody Slaughter Seniors? β
The man was silent for a moment, and then smiled again, but this time the laughter was different from the previous hoarse and ugly, gentle and clear, mellow and mellow, and then he raised his hand and took the mask.
In front of him is the face of a middle-aged man, although a well-maintained face is inevitably weathered, but the eyebrows are very outstanding, and it can be seen that he must be a rare beautiful man when he is young.
Feng Zhiwei carefully looked at his appearance for a long time, and compared it with the appearance of his adoptive father in his memory, and sighed reluctantly for a long time, and said, "It's still a bit similar." β
The man glanced at her, then turned his head, looked at Nanyi carefully, and sighed for a while.
Feng Zhiwei also looked at Gu Nanyi, at this moment she didn't want to mention the old things in front of Gu Nanyi at all, but the man's gaze at Gu Nanyi let her know that even if she didn't say it, the other party would inevitably take the initiative to talk about it, so she had to whisper in Gu Nanyi's ear: "Nanyi, this is you...... Father. β
Gu Nanyi was shocked, and then he turned his eyes to look at him, and the eyes revealed in the film were full of confusion.
Gu Yan smiled slightly, nodded to Feng Zhiwei, thanked her for not mentioning the old things, and then gently beckoned to Gu Nanyi, "Yi'er, come, let my father see you." β
Gu Nanyi stared at him silently for a long time, but he tightened the Feng Zhi on his back slightly, and said, "No." β
Gu Yan was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Yi'er, are you blaming your father for abandoning you for so many years?" Father's Afflictions......"
He stopped, not knowing how to say his hardships, saying that the heirs of the Gu family were too difficult back then, so he had the heart to get rid of the blood floating slaughter? Said that he had taken refuge in the Ning royal family long before the collapse of Dacheng? said that that night he pretended to turn around to block the enemy and take the opportunity to stun Zhan Xuyao? Said that he took a shortcut and took the baby he had prepared to deceive the valley owner? said that after that, he didn't dare to show up and hide in the palace for four years in order to avoid the pursuit of his eldest brother? Said that he took over as the commander of the Golden Feather Guard and lived in darkness from now on just to have a chance to protect his Nanyi in the future? said that he became the commander of the Golden Feather Guard, but he never killed Dacheng Yu? said that he didn't deliberately leave behind his young southern clothes and cause him to wander in the rivers and lakes......
His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, opposite was the son who refused to recognize him, he knew his existence for many years, but for some reason he didn't dare to show up, he knew the strength of Nanyi, and was not worried about his safety, but after determining what Feng Zhiwei was going to do, he was afraid that Nanyi would be implicated, and couldn't help but say that he wanted to kill Ning Yi, but he didn't want to be yin by Feng Zhiwei, and abandoned the identity of Jin Yuwei's commander. And in those lonely years, he missed Nanyi like that.
Nanyi, his child, he did everything, it was always for him, it was his only son with the woman he loved, she died of exhaustion in order to give birth to him, and he was outside, on a mission for the Blood Float...... It was too late for him to rush back, and before he died, he held her hand, promised to leave the Blood Floating Massacre, and promised to let Nanyi live well.
But he can't get away from the Blood Floating Slaughter, he is a child of the Gu family, he is the core of the Blood Floating Slaughter, as long as he shows a little intention to leave, the eldest brother will kill him.
Unless, the Bloodfloat no longer exists.
And so he did.
Regardless of the consequences, in the end, the harvest was wrong, the eldest brother did not die, the end of the world pursued him, he turned back to find Nanyi, but his family was cleaned by the imperial court, he was a traitor is the highest secret, the government at the bottom can not know, that search, the little Nanyi is in the rivers and lakes without a trace, he is avoiding the pursuit of the eldest brother while anxiously searching, but in the end he is a step slower, Nanyi was first found by the people of the Zong family, when he saw Zong Chen pick up the little child who was covered in bruises, he knew that in this life, His Nanyi still has to take the road of the Blood Floating Massacre, and in this life, his Nanyi will eventually be his enemy.
Fate, refusing to spare the betrayer.
The desolation in Gu Yan's eyes was in Feng Zhiwei's eyes, and she sighed softly, she didn't plan to tell Nanyi the truth, why let this pure person face the sadness of his relatives being enemies? Gu Yan hurt her at the beginning, but now she doesn't want to care, she hurt Gu Heng, and Gu Heng himself is settling accounts with him in the Netherworld.
There is never an end to retribution, so why bother.
"Go ahead." She gently pushed Nanyi, "Your father has a hard time, and now that he has finally appeared, you should always see him." β
Gu Nanyi had always listened to her, although her eyes were still full of doubts, and she was slowly thinking about why this father suddenly appeared and why she was the commander of Jin Yuwei, but she still took a step forward.
Gu Yan's eyes burst with joy.
"You've finally shown your face!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and another black shadow flew down from the corner of the eaves, and the big sleeves rolled up like an angry wave, hitting Gu Yan's heart!
Gu Yan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he dragged Yao Yangyu back, Gu Nanyi subconsciously turned around and raised his palm, meeting the power of the man's palm, and suddenly the other party took a step back, Gu Nanyi took three steps back, and the corner of his lips slowly left a trace of blood.
"Stupid boy!" The person who came came in a black robe and a red deep coat, a pair of thick eyebrows as black as ink, and a halberd finger shouted angrily, "What your father? This is a traitor to the Bloodfloat! I've borne this notoriety for you for so many years, and today I finally found you! Gu Yan, it's time for you and me to finish! β
"Little Six." Gu Yan laughed miserably.
Over the years, Zhan Xuyao was unwilling to bear the name of a traitor, and looked for him incognito, and even because he suspected him of hiding in the imperial court, he did not hesitate to stay by Xin Ziyan's side as an entourage, trying to find him in every possible way, of course he knew, so he never dared to come forward, and he didn't want to be arrested by him today.
"Hahaha, are they all here? Are they all here? Let's fight! Let's fight! Let's kill them all! Suddenly, there was another shrill laugh below, the voice was terrible, everyone was stunned, looked down, but saw a bloodstained woman in the square downstairs, raising her scarred face, was laughing wildly.
Concubine Qing.
Gu Nanyi opened her cell door just now, and she didn't close the door when she took Feng Zhiwei out of the prison, she was so frightened that she was confused, and stumbled out all the way, although there were many soldiers outside, they were all nervously besieged and intercepted Gu Nanyi, even if someone saw her, no one could bear to do anything to her in the face of her tragic situation, and even gave her to just roll and crawl along the way Gu Nanyi came out and went under the palace gate.
Zhan Xuyao saw her at a glance, and was stunned before recognizing her, and immediately shouted angrily: "You slut! Lie to me and say that you can find out where the traitor is, pretend to form an alliance with me, let me kill for you, and steal the imperial heir I hid Jinpa, I hate that I have been deceived by you for a long time! I should have killed you a long time ago! β
"Haha...... I've got you covered......" Concubine Qing laughed loudly, "I can't find anything to blame me......"
Someone in the distance suddenly shouted: "Concubine Qing! Who did you let this man kill? β
It was Ning Cheng who spoke, he stood beside Ning Yi on the high platform, leaned over to listen to Ning Yi's instructions, and asked questions as such.
Zhan Xuyao snorted and was speechless, but Concubine Qing was very proud, she had been tortured for several years, and she was already unconscious, at this time Gege smiled and said: "Shaoning's son, I let Zhan Xuyao kill him, how about it?" That arrow is powerful, isn't it? β
On the high platform, Ning Yi closed his eyes and sighed.
On the second floor of the palace gate, Feng Zhiwei closed his eyes at the same time and pressed his heart.
It turned out to be him, it turned out to be her.
That night, she peeped into the imperial temple, was knocked off the wall by a person, and was led to the outside of the Lanxiang Courtyard, just when Concubine Qing gave birth in the tunnel, Shaoning brought the private army to rescue, and then rescued the baby from Yin'er, and then met Ning Yi to intercept it.
That night, she handed over the baby to Ning Yi, and turned the corner only to find the child bloodied and dead in his arms.
That night, she let go of her knot for the second time and tried to trust it again, only to be destroyed by Sen Leng's reality.
That night was the real Chu River Han realm between her and him, and since then she has made up her mind to travel farther and farther until the land is divided and the ends of the world are separated.
That night was the beginning of many painful and painful ends, and the turning point of his life began.
But it turned out that it was just a painstaking game for Concubine Qing.
A situation that makes him and her, who already have a knot, completely opposed.
She asked Zhan Xuyao to lead her to Lanxiang Courtyard, she changed Shaoning's child to pretend to be her own child and handed it over to Feng Zhiwei, when Feng Zhiwei handed over the child to Ning Yi, she ordered Zhan Xuyao to shoot Shaoning's child to death when Feng Zhiwei was close to the alley, so that Feng Zhiwei could see "Ning Yi's betrayal" with his own eyes.
Meticulous, vicious, and timing, it is seamless.
Concubine Qing was still smiling freely, her blood-drenched face looked as hideous as a demon, this was the most proud work in her life, whenever she thought about it, she felt that it was really a great pleasure in life to be able to play Feng Zhiwei and Ning Yi in the palm of her hand.
"Whew!"
A long arrow pierced through Concubine Qing's vest, and it was so fierce that it passed through Concubine Qing's body, as if stringing her on the arrow, rushing forward, and nailing her to the ground alive.
Concubine Qing's laughter stopped abruptly, and she looked back the arrow, bleeding from her mouth and nose, and the crazy smile in her eyes was not endless.
On the high platform, Ning Cheng threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, stepped on it fiercely, and said loudly: "I can't help it, please punish Your Majesty!" β
Ning Yi didn't say a word, and slowly raised his hand to cover his eyes.
On the second floor of the palace gate, Feng Zhiwei buried his face in Gu Nanyi's vest, and tears flowed.
"Damn it, it's going to die." Zhan Xu Yaosen's cold voice sounded above everyone's heads, "Gu Yan, today is on the imperial city, put an end to your old grudges!" β
He stepped out, and everyone upstairs felt the wind raging in front of him.
There were more clammy and cold things in the fierce wind, and they were broken into pieces, and the sky was like a piece of paper money.
It's snowing.
The broken snow came silently from the depths of the deep black firmament, swirling at the head of the palace gate, and no longer fluttering in front of Xu Yao when he rolled up in close combat, the man in black stood tall, his hands were like a mountain, and those snow flakes swirled and condensed in the whirlpool of his true qi, turning into broken snow flying pestles little by little, lingering in front of him, whistling and coming.
Gu Yan is in a different situation, he has already let go of Yao Yangyu, facing this great enemy in his life, his expression is solemn and his gait is free, one foot forward and one foot back, silently and slowly withdrawing a golden soft sword behind his waist.
Although the two of them stood opposite each other, the murderous aura was like this midnight mist, which had spread silently, and the soldiers on all sides were frozen, and they couldn't escape when they were in place, even Gu Nanyi's body was trembling slightly and couldn't get out, in order to take Feng Zhiwei away, he was exhausted by frostbite, and at this moment it was already the end of the strong crossbow, and he couldn't get out of the battle circle of the two masters for a while.
Gu Nanyi didn't think of separating, he stood there, looking at the two people in a daze, he didn't like to think anymore, and he understood everything at this time, Gu Yan, his father, the only relative in his life, was fighting for life and death with people in front of him at this moment.
That's his father, that's the traitor of the Bloodfloat.
He took on the mission of the Blood Floating Massacre early, he dedicated his life to the people who the Blood Floating Massacre swore to protect, he spent more than 20 years of his life dedicated and constant and never changed, he thought that this was the rule This is the destiny This is unshakable, but suddenly he saw his father, and then before he had time to rejoice or resent, he suddenly knew that his biological father was the enemy of the Blood Floating Massacre.
Gu Nanyi stood there quietly, but his fingers suddenly began to tremble, and there was a desolate roar in the depths of his heart, crashing into the solid heart defense, cracking out of the Dao traces, and it hurt.
Isn't this what people often say, the irony of fate?
It was so sore, so cold......
There were only two people in the crowd, who did not look at this battlefield, one was Feng Zhiwei on the back of Gu Nan's clothes, she was lying quietly, her long eyelashes were hanging down, and her face was gradually becoming transparent, and the other was Ning Yi on the far high platform, he was on the high platform of falling snow, looking at the direction of Feng Zhiwei from afar, and there was a slight blue between his eyebrows.
A moment of silence was unbearable, and a moment later, the murderous aura that filled the heavens and the earth exploded!
"Kill!" Zhan Xuyao shouted, with a wave of his arm, turned snow into a pestle, the snow pestle broke through the air with a tornado-like might, and when his chest hit Gu Yan, where the giant pestle passed, the hair of the crowd outside the three zhang stood upside down, and the lanterns in the corner of the building were all crooked, and the lights dimmed, and with a snap, the paper was shattered into thousands of butterflies.
"Go!" With a flash of golden light, Gu Yan's sword came first, and the lights that had been dimmed suddenly brightened when the sword light was bright, but the sound of crackling and cracking on all sides was even louder, this time it was the ground, and the solid bluestone ground cracked like a spider's web, like a hideous crack, approaching Zhan Xuyao's feet.
Zhan Xuyao sneered and greeted, the snow light and the golden light collided, and the two figures in the light jumped up, as fast as the aurora, and almost no one could see the moves, where the two passed, everything was destroyed, and with their rapid movement, the railing collapsed silently like ice and snow melting under the sun, and after landing, every time the two took a step, there was a deep crack on the ground, and the dust was all over the sky, all of which shot onto the heads of the people upstairs and downstairs.
Ning Yi on the high platform looked at the battlefield of the two masters, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Tell them to stop, don't hurt ......"
He didn't say any more, Ning Cheng had already shouted, "Stop them for me, don't fight!" "I ran over myself.
Yao Yangyu waved his hand and commanded the soldiers to rush forward.
The crowd poured in.
Pedal back again.
Like the grass that meets the storm, the front hits the back, and the back is about to get out of the way, when suddenly I feel a huge and powerful real force coming, like a huge wave, I can't help but stumble back, and hit the one behind me, and the one behind me is meeting a new wave of air when I want to dodge......
Wave after wave, like the sea rising endlessly, no one can stand firm within a three-zhang radius of two people, and in the end, everyone rolls into a ball like a sugar gourd.
A peerless battle.
No one can approach, no one can stop it, unless you take your life to pad it.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred moves have passed, and the heavens and the earth seem to be alarmed by this peerless battle, and the wind and snow are even more intense.
"Khooth!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, the snow was pale and golden, and two figures vaguely jumped high and met in mid-air-
Gu Nanyi suddenly cut the tie behind him with a sword, and with a flash of blood, he flew up-
"Nanyiβ"
Feng Zhiwei, who cut the tie and fell to the ground, struggled to shout this sentence, she tried to stretch out her fingers in the wind and snow, but only touched the clothes floating behind him.
"Nanyiβ"
As soon as the muffled sound sounded, the light was immediately closed, and the three of them fell in the snow, and Gu Yan had already broken out with a cry of pain before he landed.
His golden sword was stabbed on Gu Nanyi's chest, and Zhan Xuyao's palm was imprinted on Gu Nanyi's back.
The three of them maintained such a posture, standing still in the snow, Gu Yan and Zhan Xuyao both showed shocked looks.
In the last move just now, the two masters were evenly matched, and it was originally a move to burn the jade and stone together, who knew that Gu Nanyi suddenly rushed forward, and the two of them couldn't close the momentum, and the killers all greeted him.
There was a suffocating silence in the dark wind and snow, so quiet that I heard the sound of falling snow, and I heard the sound of falling snow, blood gurgling out, and the sound of wet black night clothes silently.
Something fell, staining the ground with a thin layer of falling snow.
Gu Nanyi lowered his head and gently pushed away Gu Yan who pounced, he didn't seem to feel any pain, nor did he feel anything wrong, he turned around, just wanted to see Feng Zhiwei.
When he turned around, he saw Feng Zhiwei standing on the snow, her face was almost transparent, her eyelashes were loaded with broken snow, the snow was not melted by the heat, it was so cold, it fell on her face, she looked at him with a pair of autumn eyes, her eyes were so dark and deep, but the light under her eyes was gradually dissipating.
Gu Nanyi was stunned.
For a moment, he forgot his serious injury, forgot the enemy who fought to the death, forgot that his relatives were enemies in front of him, and forgot that this was the tiger of all armies on the imperial city, he froze there, only to feel that the blood vessels were hardening and shattering in an instant, exploding a sky full of stars, and the heavens and the earth collapsed.
He pounced, blood spilled all the way, the posture of the flutter, almost slid on the snow and knelt over, he knelt beside Feng Zhiwei, and helped her up in a panic, this help felt that her body was amazingly soft, he wanted to try her heat, but he himself was as cold as ice, everything was hot to touch, his fingers were in a hurry, and the moment he touched the pulse, he suddenly moved forward.
A mouthful of blood splashed out of his mouth at the same time, sprinkled on Feng Zhiwei's face like a peach blossom, her face was snow-white, and the blood was bright and shocking.
Feng Zhiwei's eyes widened, there was still a slight smile in his eyes, and he said lightly: "...... Nanyi ...... Don't be stupid......"
She leaned on Gu Nanyi, and had already turned in a different direction at this moment, the railing upstairs was destroyed by the previous battle, and she was now facing Ning Yi who was suddenly planted from the soft platform on the high platform.
Flying snow spiraled down from the night sky endlessly, and the snowflakes were as big as butterflies in the dark, and she was above the palace gate tower, and he was in the high platform of the palace gate square.
She leaned on Gu Nanyi's arms, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
He half-knelt in the snow, using his blurred vision, trying to see her clearly.
Nine-fold palace, two by two gazing.
But it's just a stone's throw away, and it's the end of the world.
At this moment, the halberd is dumb, at this moment the mind is like snow, at this moment there seems to be a faint sound in the sky, from the clouds, and in a trance is a song "Dream of the Rivers and Mountains".
Like a dream, the country is like a dream.
Feng Zhi smiled faintly.
All sins can only be atonemented by death.
A long, long time ago, she and Zong Chen asked for the medicine of death, and she didn't know who to prepare it for at the time, but now that she wants to come, of course, it is for herself.
In the dark prison, when Gu Nanyi arrived, she took the medicine and said that she wanted to die with him, but she just wanted him to leave.
She died, Ning Yi would not embarrass Nanyi, and he would be free.
She calculated that Gu Yan would appear today, and the capture of Empress Dacheng shocked the world, Gu Yan would definitely think that Gu Nanyi would come to save her, as long as Gu Yan was there, it would not be so easy for Nanyi to go crazy and die.
She's got it all figured out.
Empress Dacheng has no reason to live, if she lives, how will Ning Yi explain to the subjects of this world?
Ning Yi.
Someone has begged me with their lives to love you or let you go.
I didn't listen at that time, because I thought I had a lot of hardships, I thought I was worthy of you, and I handed myself over to you in the river boat that year, thinking that this would pay off all your affections, a love, and so on.
But now I realize that as long as I exist, you will never be saved.
So, let go of you.
You have to be an emperor of the ages, so as to live up to your hardships and hardships along the way.
As for me, let Feng Zhiwei, who has messed up this red dust world and messed up the emperor's mind, disappear from now on.
Without me, everyone would be better themselves, you, Nanyi.
A smile on the corner of her lips gradually changed to a shallow sigh, she moved her eyes with difficulty, and glanced at Gu Nanyi apologetically and pityingly.
Thousands of calculations, I can't count my fate, I didn't expect Zhan Xuyao to chase after him, I didn't expect ......
She moved her fingers slightly, stroking Gu Nanyi's trembling cold fingertips, hoping that she still had a little heat to warm this lonely man for the last time.
He has lived for her all his life, and to this day, he still suffers from this heart-wrenching.
Fingertips touch fingertips, the same cold, like snowflakes falling on snowflakes.
Then, don't move.
Her eyes were down, her face was transparent, and the snowflakes on her eyelashes did not melt.
Gu Nanyi Huo Ran raised his head.
He leaned up so hard that it felt as if he was about to break his neck, and he seemed to open his mouth for an instant, but no one heard him.
His voice melted into the dense snowflakes, melted into the depths of the dark and boundless sky, and became one with the sun, moon and stars, never erased.
Everyone felt as if their hearts were being weighed down in an instant, they looked at the figure that bent themselves vigorously in the snowstorm and dark night, and quietly listened to the mournful hiss without sound, the silence was more shocking than the roar of ten thousand people, and in the silence, it seemed that they could hear the great pain that even the bones would burst, and felt the power of suffering from the depths of the soul, hitting the four walls, and even the roaring wind, towering and towering thousands of halls, were trembling gently.
"Bang dang." Some of them were weak, and their weapons fell to the ground.
"Bang." On the high platform, Ning Yi's body fell into the snow softly, spurting out a mouthful of purple-black blood, and his head was covered with cold sweat in an instant.
