Ugly beginning, rooster crow.

The faint light of the fire illuminated his swift steps in a messy light.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the droplets of water leaking into the cave like dull bells and drums, ringing on the dead pool, waving a circle of broken ripples, like lightning cutting through the peace.

The iron cage was approaching, and his vigilant eyes did not forget to turn his head and look behind him, and the boundless darkness rolled away.

The fire fold in his hand leaned into the cage, and the polished fire suddenly illuminated an incredible picture......

His pupils narrowed.

Desert without a trace - dead?!

The bad result flooded into his brain, and Mosangji's heart couldn't help but jump in horror, as if someone was holding a club and slamming him in the chest.

The shocked gaze slanted and fell to the mouth of the iron cage.

No, the lock was opened!

He immediately pushed the door open and leaned down to hide his face.

Under the light of the fire, countless lice and corpse maggots crawled all over the moldy and smelly prison uniforms!

Under the prison uniform, a rapidly decomposing corpse has been completely unrecognizable!

An irrepressible stench taught him to turn the river and the sea in his belly!

He clenched the fire fold in his hand, wondering if it had never been here since he left?

Wolves......

When his cold pupils stared at the carrion corpse again, he suddenly discovered something!

"Desert! What about you? ”

At this time, the footsteps of the white bait's exploration have gradually approached......

Mosangwu saw the carrion again, and the mind in his heart was decided!

"Hey! What about you? ”

Bai Bait protected the faint light of the fire in his hand, and walked in cautiously, thinking to himself that he was obviously looking at him walking this way, why was there no one at this time......

"Unscrupulous?"

"Here it is! The king has seen you. Just go a little further in! Mocang Wuji straightened up and shouted out of the cage.

In the vast night barrier, two ethereal fires finally echoed.

Bai Bait probed around, and a cold aura suddenly came to his face, and the fire fold in his hand dimmed again.

She hurriedly asked Mo Cangwuji: "Where is the person I want to meet?" ”

He slowly walked out of the iron cage and told her, "Your Li Yu is in here, he is asleep now!" This king can't bear to disturb him, so wake him up yourself! ”

Hearing this, Zhijiao's heart was surging, and she couldn't suppress her excitement, she hurriedly stepped forward, and by the light of the unscrupulous fire, she could vaguely see that there was a huge cage next to him.

Mo Cangwuji looked at the white bait in front of him, and said lightly: "At this point, our transaction is completed." Happy cooperation! ”

Too lazy to listen to his nonsense, Bai Bait pushed open the door of the iron cage and rushed in eagerly.

"Ahh

But I don't know, the reunion will be a death in an instant!

She shuddered, her mouth half open, and let out a hoarse scream that felt like a knife splitting through her chest.

As if struck by lightning, Bai Bait fell to the ground, her body retreated vigorously, and countless wriggling corpse maggots crawled all over her pupils, unable to fill, and some fell out of her eye sockets, crawled on her face, and crawled into her ears......

In my ears, there was a loud bang!

"Bang dang!"

The door of the iron cage was quickly locked by Movic!

Heartstrings were shocked, she turned her head sharply, grabbed the iron cage with her backhand, and struggled! Fighting! Crazy fighting!

"Desert is unscrupulous—"

The beast of darkness slowly opened its bloody mouth.

The last glimmer of light was completely swallowed up.

Underground palace intersection.

"What did the prince escape!"

neckline, was caught off guard by the oncoming prince.

The Mocang soldier hung his head and said inexplicably: "Go back to the prince, the prince...... Isn't it in a golden cage? ”

Movic Wuji's heart and lungs had exploded, and his teeth hissed, almost tearing the soldier to pieces!

Frightened by Mocang Wuji, the soldier's neck spasmed, and hurriedly explained: "Cangcang wolf can also testify!" The golden cage that the wolf has just entered, the child is coming out, and the little one has seen it with his own eyes! ”

Hearing this, Mo Cangwuji's two fingers were quickly raised, turned into a pair of golden hooks, and dug out the soldier's two eyeballs alive!

"Oh-"

The weapon in his hand fell in an instant, and the soldier grabbed the bloody face and fell to the ground, screaming heartbreakingly!

"What a 'son is just entering, and the son is leaving'!" His blood-spattered eyes widened as fiercely as he pranked, and he raised his throat and called: "Someone is coming—" 100 literature

A soldier rushed out of the palace, knelt under Mo Cangji, and waited.

"How many people are left in the underground palace?"

"Back to the prince! Only! More than 100 people! ”

Mocang Wuji pondered for a moment, and said in a solemn voice: "Select twenty elites to evacuate immediately with this king, and then activate the destruction mechanism!" ”

"This!" The soldier looked up in a daze......

Mosangji's eyes are forced to question.

"Order!" The soldier buried his head and immediately received the order, but he couldn't help but pause, raised his head again, and hesitated to speak: "Lord Qiqi, what ...... What about the one in the dungeon? ”

The dungeon.

The four words were like golden stones, and they suddenly fell to the bottom of his heart, and they were loud.

Mo Cangwuji's hesitant gaze slowly lifted and looked towards the north of the palace.

"Are you crazy? Killing the king on the day of the sacrifice is a felony of killing the head! Don't forget, the one on the throne is your own father! ”

"That's what he forced the king!" Full of hatred and couldn't contain it, he screamed hysterically at her, and then said with a sneer: "Today in the East Palace, this king knelt and shouted and begged him to forgive this king, do you know what he said about this king?" He said that today the king is a small offense to him, and tomorrow the king will dare to hold a knife to his neck! He ignored the government because of his thoughts, and the king asked the regent to redeem his merits and share his worries, but he said that the disappearance of the prince does not mean that the East Palace is gone! As long as the prince does not return for a day, the position of the prince will remain unchanged for a day! He wants to tell this king that the position of the prince is in this life and this life, and this king doesn't even think about it! Even if it's wasted! That position will not belong to the king! ”

"For so many years, this king has paid so much effort for his deserted country! And he couldn't see it at all! In his heart, no matter what the king does, he is always inferior to the prince! ”

He slowly straightened up and smiled again, "To be precise, it's the one in the East Palace who forced this king!" It's all him! ”

She looked at him with a look that suddenly became very unfamiliar, a little incredible, "After so many years, haven't you hated him enough?" ”

[Note: There is a clerical error in front of Mocang Wuji's age and knighthood time, and it is corrected here: Mocang Wuji is 20 years old, 2 years older than the prince, 10 years old was named King Chang, when the prince was 4 years old, the concubine was beaten into the cold palace, and in the same year, Mocang Wuji met the concubine on a rainy night. Please understand that there is any trouble caused.]

"The reason why you have so many disappointments in your father is because you expect too much from him, and you expect him to see you among the princes, value you, and expect to be recognized by him. You have indeed made a lot of efforts, the battle of Qiutian, the battle of Cangye, and the defeat of Luodan...... You have won countless battles, large and small, and you are a first-class general in the eyes of your father. In the year of Fu Xi, in June, the Beigou glacier collapsed, and wolves suffered everywhere. In the Year of the Tiger, the plague in the south, you volunteered to go to the south to solve the difficulties of the epidemic...... In the eyes of your father, you are also a first-class hero of Mocang. How could he not see this? ”

"It's you, but when you taste a little sweetness, you don't know how to be satisfied, and every time he gives you a reward, your ambition will be higher, so you have more expectations. What did your father have to do to fill your endless expectations? If you give too much, you are afraid of being proud, and if you give too little, you are afraid that you will be disappointed, your father is very smart and knows that the best way is to stop in moderation. But, he doesn't know, you don't understand his moderation at all, and you, over the years, have heard countless big and small truths from me, but you can't learn anything about it. Over time, your ambition becomes your ambition. Ambition is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. ”

He couldn't accept her words, he only felt that she was excusing his father!

"No, it's not! This king only wants to be a real strong man, and if you want to become a strong man, you must first have ambition! It was Concubine Huang Niangniang who once told this king that this is an era of strong men! In the era of strong people, there has never been innate nobility, only innate arrogance. This king knows that he is a concubine, not as good as the prince of the queen, and he does not have the most precious blood of the royal family, although this king is not born noble, but as long as this king becomes a strong man in the mouth of the mother, they can still be compared! This king just wants to prove that he is a strong man! This king just wants to live as a strong man! ”

No matter how excited he was, she still replied calmly as always: "That year, you were crowned King Chang, you asked me, now you are considered a strong person, let me tell you, from that day on, you are already a strong person." In fact, I want to tell you that on that rainy night fourteen years ago, when you bravely got up from the mud and chose to survive, you were already a strong man. You don't need to prove it to anyone. ”

"That's just the idea of Concubine Huang! Concubine Huang lives in Qinghui Palace, how do you know that the court is sinister? That day Niangniang also talked about how to become a strong person in his heart, depending on what he really wants, that day the king sat in front of the main hall of Qinghui Palace, thought a lot, and did not have a clear answer, until later, the king gradually determined that the king wanted to become the future prince of Mocang. Then the East Palace is the biggest obstacle for this king! He said.

"So, in the past ten years, you have continued to grow your power, so that one day, you can compete with the East Palace and at the same time pull the crown prince down?" Concubine Huang suddenly sneered, and said, "But that day, in addition to what I really wanted, I also reminded you that everyone's life is born different. A lot of times, it's not what you want, you get. Fate is unfair, the world is ruthless, and sometimes, you have to learn to accept your fate. You have to know that what is yours is yours, not yours, and you can't grab it. Remember? ”

Over the years, he has heard a lot of truths from Concubine Huang, but he only ignores the matter of accepting his fate.

Now, ten years later, he still doesn't admit it.

"Concubine Huang Niangniang is wise, and the strategy of the court is not a problem, compared with those concubines in the harem, she can also be called a strange woman. It's a pity that he still can't escape his fate, and he was sent to the cold palace by his father, and he stayed in Qinghui Palace for fourteen years! Have you ever thought about it, what is the reason why you can't make a comeback and escape from that confinement? Asked the concubine in front of him, but she was silent, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "The imperial concubine is the one who recognized the fate of the cold palace!" ”

Concubine Huang was still silent.

"At the beginning, the king's mother chose to jump from the imperial city because she recognized the cheap life of the concubine! How can this king repeat the mistakes of the past? ”

She didn't know that on that cruel night fourteen years ago, those terrifying images never disappeared from his memory, and the sentence "You are born cheap" also left a deeper imprint in his mind due to the endless disagreements of the royal family.

"There are some things, if the king doesn't give it a go, how can he determine whether it is the king who should have it!"

After a long time, Concubine Huang smiled lightly, "The prince saw and heard it today." Your father's words are the best proof that your obsession for so many years is actually a mistake. Although this is very cruel to you, you have to understand that when he said these heartless words to you today, he wants to give you a warning, and make you enlightened, and I hope you will know that you have lost your way and be your king of Chang and regent, it is enough! ”

"No, that's not the final result! Not to the end, this king swears not to accept his fate! He retreated in fear, but he still spoke stubbornly.

"Because it's not the best result, it is said that it is not the final result, why does the prince deceive himself like this?" Concubine Huang shook her head at him, and persuaded him for ten years: "It's been more than ten years, if you still believe in me, let it go, give up the resistance to the crown prince, give up the idea of killing the king, believe me, after tonight, you will still be the best candidate in your father's heart, the established regent." ”

He still shook his head at her after all.

"For so many years, Concubine Huang Niangniang has always persuaded the king to be a friend of the East Palace, not an enemy, so as to stabilize the status of the court! Now, this king only asks Niangniang for a word of truth, does Niangniang also feel that this king is indeed inferior to the one in the East Palace? ”

He asked earnestly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Lord Wang, is such a question really meaningful?"

Concubine Huang was puzzled.

The four eyes met, one was hot, the other was cold.

The brightness in his eyes finally darkened.

"Concubine Huangniang, just wait and see! The king will prove to you that he is right! ”

As he turned his back and left, the voice of dissuasion continued, but his heart finally hardened to ice, and could no longer stir up any ripples.

He was grateful to Concubine Huang, who had been like a mentor since he was a child, and who always liked to go to that place whenever something was difficult, because he could always hear many useful words from her.

Later, he couldn't remember exactly when he started, and he was reluctant to listen to her.

But he still likes to see her, because her eyes have witnessed too much of his brilliance, and witnessed how he has become a real strong man step by step.

"By the way, I forgot to tell Niangniang that the disappearance of the prince is not for nothing, all of this was designed by the king himself!"

He looked back and added.

Then, her voice was never heard again.

Recalling that night a few days ago, the scenes that happened in the dungeon seem to be vivid.

He indifferently withdrew his gaze and scolded.

"Activate the trap!"
