In the sky, the night sky is like a wash, and the stars are like a dream.

Xia Ruoqing looked up at the boundless sea of stars above her head, smelling the strong earthy smell and the fragrance of flowers and plants in her nose, and the fatigue of the long journey seemed to be swept away at this moment.

Tomorrow will be another sunny day.

"Childe." The middle-aged man in silver armor standing behind Xia Ruoqing bent down and arched his hand, and said to Xia Ruoqing in a deep voice: "The time has come." ”

"So fast?" Xia Ruoqing glanced at the starry sky again, then closed her eyes and bowed, raised her right hand high, paused in the air, and then waved it down without hesitation.

The middle-aged man received the order, waved the triangular battle flag in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Go!" ”

Following behind the middle-aged man, a neat group of soldiers wearing armor and hanging a single sword on their waists quietly entered a narrow cave in front of them, led by the man.

Xia Ruoqing lifted her cloak and hood and stood on a raised rock. The hunting atmosphere in the night blew her black robe feet constantly blowing.

Xia Ruoqing was dressed up in men's clothes tonight, her long hair was tied in a bun at the top, fastened with only a jade ring, her soft face was not powdered, the gentle smile that she usually concealed was gone, her face was like ice, and she looked down at these indifferent soldiers under her feet.

They are dead soldiers raised by the Xia family, and they can't imagine that they are used here, sad, lamentable.

After the last soldier hid in the cave, Xia Ruoqing walked down from the stone and looked back at the twilight mountain silhouette hidden in the dark night.

After many years, I can finally see the wild flowers and plants in the mountains again, and finally I can see the unobstructed night sky again.

She thought that the heart in her chest, which had been rotting in the harem of Nanzhao, seemed to be alive again and began to beat again.

Unfortunately, it was only one night.

The cave was illuminated by the torches in the hands of the soldiers, and Xia Ruoqing looked from behind, looking at it from behind, like a wandering fire dragon in front of him, crawling in the cave, waiting for an opportunity to devour everything in front of him, leaving not a single inch of grass.

Luo Ran stood on the edge of the stone pit and instructed his soldiers to pull out the craftsmen who were cowering and crying one by one, and then pushed them into the pit one by one.

The craftsmen knew their outcome long before they were sent into the cave, so that most of them, even if they were afraid, even if they were unwilling, could not muster the courage to resist when faced with a queue of soldiers with bowstrings on their side arrows.

They understand that confronting a soldier who is skilled in military force is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree and a mantis arm as a car. If you die obediently, your family can also get an extremely generous 'reward'.

This was the only fate of the royal tombs involved in the construction.

The soldier's sharp blade skillfully slashed through the neck of the craftsman in front of him, and hot blood gushed out of the neck, but the craftsman's body was paralyzed by the breath, and the soldier kicked him into the stone pit below.

Luo Ran blocked his nose with his hand to prevent the heavy smell of blood at the bottom of the pit from penetrating into his nose, frowning at the corpses accumulating at the bottom of the pit, his brows were almost knotted.

Although he has also experienced battlefield battles, they are all enemy battles, either you die or I die, this simple slaughter makes him feel very bad. It's just that the king's order cannot be violated, he is just a lieutenant of the Praetorian Guard, and he can only obey his orders.

It's coming, it's coming. Glancing at the corner of the craftsmen who only had dozens of people left, Luo Ran comforted himself like this.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of the armor grinding behind him, Luo Ran instantly took the knife out of the sheath, looked back and saw the person coming out of the corner, and breathed a sigh of relief, put the knife into the sheath, and arched his hand: "Captain Xi, why are you here too?" ”

"This kind of thing needs to be monitored, so that some executors don't be soft-hearted and do anything in private." Xi Yunhe replied with his hand, and said coldly with an expressionless face.

Luo Ran was stunned, it was the first time for him to carry out this kind of task, Xi Yunhe was much older than him in the Praetorian Guard, and it was reasonable according to what Xi Yunhe said.

It was Luo Ran who smiled respectfully, pointed to the corner of the stone pit and the soldiers, and said, "There are only so many people left, it's almost over." ”

"Okay." Xi Yunhe nodded coldly with his hands in his hands, and did not add much greetings.

Luo Ran was slightly unhappy in his heart, although Xi Yunhe was older in the Praetorian Guards, and he was only half a level higher than him in terms of grade, this shelf was very big.

Displeased in his heart, Luo Ran didn't say much to Xi Yunhe, and re-faced the edge of the pit to supervise the soldiers to carry out orders.

However, at tea time, there were only seven or eight craftsmen left, Luo Ran just breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared for someone to pack up, just go out and seal the entrance of the cave to return to the palace to resume his life, but suddenly felt that his left shoulder sank. Luo Ran was surprised to see that it was Xi Yunhe who pressed on his shoulder in an extremely intimate posture.

Luo Ran didn't know why, but Xi Yunhe smiled and said, "Brother Luo, I just remembered something important. ”

"What...... Affair? The last word was still in his mouth, Luo Ran felt that his breath was short, and all that came out of his throat was hissing, and he couldn't say a word.

"I forgot to tell you, you don't have to work hard to recover this trip." Xi Yunhe smiled coldly, continued to hold Luo Ran's body tightly, did not let him fall, and made a gesture behind his back with his other hand.

But hearing the sound of footsteps, the soldiers hidden behind the wall rushed out from the corner and pounced on Luo Ran, who was standing on the edge of the pit.

With few craftsmen left, most of the soldiers stood around the pit and did nothing. The incident happened suddenly, they were defenseless, and the most marginal group was immediately slashed by the incoming people, especially without understanding what was happening.

Only then did the soldiers in the center react, and they raised their blades to meet the enemy. For a while, the surrounding area of the stone pit suddenly saw swords and swords, and there were bursts of killing.

One is that Luo Ran's subordinates have been monitoring the craftsmen for several days and are already tired, and the other is that the soldiers carried by Xi Yunhe are all elites raised by the Xia family, how can ordinary soldiers be able to match? After the incense was burned, countless new souls were added to the stone pit, and the corpses were stacked, and there were countless of them.

Xi Yunhe checked that there was no longer a living mouth, so he waved his hand, but at a moment, Xia Ruoqing showed his figure and came to the side of the pit.

Even though Xia Ruoqing's heart was like iron, she couldn't help but move when she saw so many corpses. However, he settled down after just a move, and said, "Go and arrange things properly." ”

Xi Yunhe commanded the soldiers, pushed the four-cornered tripod that had been hidden in one corner into the pit, and lit a bright candle on the wall of the stone pit according to Xia Ruoqing's words, and then looked back at Xia Ruoqing.

"Go out and keep watch outside." Xia Ruoqing said coldly.

"This ......" Xi Yunhe hesitated slightly. There are thousands of corpses in this cave, Xia Ruoqing is a woman, if she is allowed to stay here......

Just seeing Xia Ruoqing's expression, Xi Yunhe's vest was cold, and he bowed down and said, "Order, son, please do your best." ”

When everyone withdrew, the huge cave suddenly became cold, and even if the fire was shining, it seemed that it could not illuminate the shadows between the corners.

Xia Ruoqing turned a blind eye, came to the edge of the stone pit, and jumped down.

The wide stone pit was already filled with the corpses of craftsmen and soldiers, Xia Ruoqing walked on the soft skin and flesh that still had residual warmth, and came to the bank of Dading with an expressionless face.

The nightmare spell started, Xia Ruoqing could hear the crying and roaring in her ears, although she couldn't see it, she knew that these were these souls under her feet who were unwilling to die unjustly.

Stepping on the gossip and wandering around the ding, Xia Ruoqing felt the softness under her feet, and the spells in her mouth continued, but her mind was in a trance for a moment.

What is she doing?

Who is she?

She...... It seems that under the pear blossom tree, she stole the long sword stolen from Helan Qi and swore to the sky, saying that one day, she would scold Fang Xuan and point out the country. I just don't want this to reach my father's ears at some point, causing a family meal and a months' lockdown.

She said...... She wanted to hold the halberd on the battlefield, and the nations of the sect bowed down...... And now, what is she doing?

The spell stopped, Xia Ruoqing's body was like a butterfly, and the faster she swirled around the big ding.

Walk and stop.

The knife rose and fell, and four slender and delicate fingers flicked and fell into the ding.

Xia Ruoqing put aside the dagger and clenched his wrist, but he didn't feel the pain, but just looked at the green smoke in the ding in a daze and was silent.

Now, what more could she ask for?

In her life, she has exhausted all her organs and lost a lot of people, and the one who owes her the most is Helan Fu.

But begging, this act can make Helan Fu return to the world and return to her original place.

As for Jun Yihuang -

"You have calculated against me, but I have gone too far, and I will pay you again in the next life." Xia Ruoqing looked at the bottomless cave behind the stone pit, and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by herself.

Xi Yunhe was really shocked when he saw Xia Ruoqing's palm, which had lost his four fingers and was bleeding, but he didn't dare to ask when he saw Xia Ruoqing's eyes.

He was secretly adopted by the Xia family, and also witnessed the process of Xia Ruoqing growing up since childhood, from the previous jumping out of arrogance, to the calmness after the meeting, and then to the depth of the city after entering the palace, and now Xia Ruoqing is no longer the Miss Xia in the former Xia Mansion.

Now that the decline of the Xia family has been decided, Xia Ruoqing is the only one left in the Xia family, and the only thing he can do is to fulfill Xia Ruoqing's wish.

Riding a horse all the way, Xia Ruoqing went out of the mountain overnight and rushed back to the capital Duling, Xi Yunhe was on duty, and the arrangements were made early, she only needed to rush back before someone found out that she was leaving the palace.

Before hurrying to the palace gate, Xi Yunhe hesitated again and again, but finally reached out and held Xia Ruoqing's wrist tightly, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xia, let's go, don't go back." ”

Xia Ruoqing is in the Nantang harem, which is no longer comparable to the past. She went back this time, afraid that she would never have a chance to leave.

"Let's go? Where to? ”

"The world is so big, where can't I go? We still have 100 brothers, even if we fight to the last one, we will definitely send you out of Nantang. ”

"What about after you send it away?" Xia Ruoqing said lightly.

"After that?" Xi Yunhe was stunned, after that, he lived normally, wouldn't it be better than the intrigue in this court?

"I'm not leaving." The corners of Xia Ruoqing's lips raised a sly smile, Emperor Nanzhao is not dead, how can she leave just now? With her nightmare in her body, she is in the Nantang harem, and one day she will be able to take the soul of the dog emperor.

And he tore him apart inch by inch, and set up an array of hell, and taught him to suffer in it for all eternity, and he could not be delivered.

Xi Yunhe was silent, his fingers gradually loosened, and Xia Ruoqing left.

But just a moment later, Xi Yunhe remembered the message he had just received, and hurriedly rushed to Xia Ruoqing's side, saying: "There is another thing, the new emperor of Northern Yan heard that Lan Jieyu died violently in Nantang, and he was furious, and united with the four troops of Northern Yan to cross Yinshan without disarming, and captured the two cities of Changhui and Chiling, and sent an envoy to send 100 brocade horses, 300 cattle and sheep each, and wanted to take Lan Jieyu's body back to Beiyan for burial. ”

Xia Ruoqing was slightly stunned, although this was already expected by her, but Helan Qi's troops were so fast and his methods were so tough, which really surprised her.

She also thought that Helan would sit firmly on the throne of the Northern Yan Emperor and win the hearts of the people before starting a frontal war with Nantang.

In contrast, she ...... It's not as good as that.
