At the highest point of the stone valley, there is a cliff, and a tall rock pine on the cliff wall pokes out of the cliff dangerously, like a green platform out of thin air.

The emperor stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the scenery in the valley. And Chu Feifei was looking at a bird's nest among the branches of the rock pine, and there seemed to be two bird eggs in it?

"I ascended the throne when I was nineteen years old, and it has been eight years now." The Emperor spoke slowly.

Hmm, Chu Feifei replied casually, waiting for the emperor to continue.

"When I got this throne, it was also bloody, and I have often wondered these days, I have carried so many lives on my body, is it worth it for this throne?"

Chu Fei tilted her head, she could see that the emperor just wanted to talk to someone, not to talk to her, so she simply picked up a clean stone and sat down.

The emperor glanced back lightly and continued: "Does Shao Qing also think that I am a useless emperor? ”

"Huh? No, I think the emperor is dedicated, diligent, and a competent emperor. It's just that the luck is not good, Chu Feifei silently added in his heart.

The emperor laughed self-deprecatingly: "Shao Qing really thinks so? Doesn't Shao Qing think that I am greedy for money and incompetent, and I am useless except for calculating Shao Qing? ”

Uh, Chu Fei scratched his hair, since you know everything, why bother to say it.

But thinking so in his heart, he couldn't say it on his lips, Chu Feifei thought about it for a while: "Your Majesty, if Tianyou is compared to a huge sea ship, the emperor is naturally the one at the helm, but when this sea ship goes to sea, whether it can return with a full load depends not only on the technology of the helmsman, but also on the cooperation of the crew, the current, the wind direction, and the weather, all of which are indispensable." ”

The emperor looked at Chu Feifei, who was sitting on the boulder and talking with his cheeks, and his heart was like the sea of the boat, with waves surging.

"It is not unreasonable that those imperial historians often talk about the favorable time, place and people, and the will of the people. If this big ship wants to sail steadily and quickly, it is not enough to rely on the emperor, but also the people of the world and the emperor to be of one mind. Chu Feifei looked at the clouds in the sky, as if he was talking to the emperor, and as if he was talking to himself: "Without the will of the people, the embankment in Jinju would not have been completed so quickly." There should be mutual benefit between the court and the people, instead of exploiting the people with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes."

"So in Shao Qing's opinion, this day is the right time, place and people, how much do I have?" The emperor suddenly interrupted Chu Feifei's self-talk.

Chu Feifei glanced at the emperor and said slowly: "Since the emperor is in that position, he naturally has enough advantages. ”

The emperor laughed lowly: "Shao Qing doesn't have to comfort me, in fact, I know it in my heart."

Chu Feifei was silent, today's emperor is a little strange, specifically looking for her to spit out bitterness? It's just that he wants to find someone to explain, shouldn't he go to his Fang Xueqing?

"I came to Shao Qing today to ask Shao Qing, are you willing to create this great river and mountain with me?" The emperor stared at Chu Feifei fixedly, his cold eyes, which were as dark as autumn water, looked even more unfathomable.

Chu Feifei was a little confused: "Your Majesty, didn't we have an agreement between us a long time ago?" ”

"So, is Shao Qing planning to leave me in a few years?" The emperor put his hands behind his back and stared at Chu Feifei for a moment.

Uh, do you have to answer that question now? Actually, she hasn't figured it out yet. It's strange that there is such a statement as leaving him.

Chu Feifei scratched his hair again, and he seemed to smell something at the end of his nose, fragrant, very good.

"Your Majesty, according to the current scale of the Scarlet House, within three years, it should be able to make up for the deficit in the treasury, if the water conservancy plan of Jinju can be promoted, the state capitals on the first line of Qishui will become the land of fish and rice, and at that time, the emperor will not have to worry about the treasury, maybe the treasury is too small to hold so much silver." Chu Feifei smiled when he said this, but found that the emperor's eyes were heavy and there was no smile, so he couldn't help but sneer: "Your Majesty, you have been out for a long time, Xueqing and they will probably be worried, let's go back?" ”

The emperor walked slowly towards her, walked in front of him, and leaned down: "I should go back, but Shao Qing wants to go back with me." ”

"What?" Chu Feifei shook her head, her head felt a little dizzy, and the emperor in front of her was like a layer of prismatic glass, broken like a kaleidoscope, and gathered together.

What's wrong with her? And what kind of aroma is that? Did it come from the emperor's body? It smells, it smells good

In front of the wooden house, Du Ziqi, who was standing in the courtyard, suddenly held his head and snorted, and Song Yu, who was playing with stones on the side, raised his head: "Brother Du, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Du Ziqi didn't speak, just stood up straight, staring at a certain point in the air with a serious expression, and Song Yu sensitively felt that the airflow around him fluctuated. He threw away the stone in his hand in disbelief, stood up and looked at Du Ziqi: "Brother Du? ”

Du Ziqi in the courtyard seemed to have been slammed, took a few steps back, and when he raised his head again, his ears and nose were bleeding.

"Go find her, hurry!" He propped up a stone table beside him and shouted, "Find her!" ”

Song Yu didn't ask any more, threw away the stone in his hand and ran towards the mountain, and Du Ziqi staggered behind.

In the wooden house of the patriarch,

The patriarch, who had been paralyzed in bed and unable to move, suddenly struggled to roll off the bed, with a strange smile on his face, and muttered to himself as he crawled towards the fire.

"It's begun, it's finally begun," he lay on his stomach by the fire, held the flint in his teeth, lit it on the black bricks of the firepit, and threw it into the fire. I don't know what was filling in the dark fire, but as soon as the flint flame appeared, it burst to the ground and ignited.

The strange flames rose from the depths of the fire, higher and higher, higher and higher, as if some power was constantly injecting, and finally licked the roof and spread in all directions.

"Burn, burn, let your grievances unleashed," the patriarch laughed maniacally in the raging flames.

At the cliff at the top of the stone valley peak,

Song Yu stood there, a little at a loss. Du Ziqi, who came later, stumbled here, almost fell headlong, and was held by Song Yu.

"Something is wrong, there seems to be something wrong with my lord." Song Yu said in a panic.

Du Ziqi raised his head, his eyes blood-red.

On the edge of the cliff, a man and a woman snuggled up to each other, Chu Fei scarlet his hair, looking up at the emperor with a smile, the emperor lovingly stroked her hair that was blown by the mountain wind with his hand, held her waist with one hand, and said something gently.

"Feifei!" Du Ziqi shouted hoarsely.

Chu Feifei, who was on the edge of the cliff, turned his head and looked at them curiously: "Who is that?" (To be continued.) )
