Twelve-year-old Li Yu carved the fear of this night in his heart, the sadness of saying goodbye to his parents this night, but in addition, he couldn't remember more things, especially after being carried out of the palace gate on a horse, only a few scattered details in his eyes and ears kept churning in his mind for a long time, miserable screams, murderous howls, disgusting and fainting smells, piercing ears and sharp chirps, and huge birds that were wider than beasts of prey after spreading their wings.

But this was enough to destroy his mind, so that he was pampered and pampered in the palace since he was a child, and for a long time he could not believe that he had a nightmare, it turned out that people can fall into purgatory in an instant from such a beautiful situation.

His mind was always reminded of the peaceful past of the palace as if it were a lifetime away, and the fear and sadness of the collapse of the city.

His mother, the noble lord of the Chunyue Yushu royal family, is known as the phoenix orchid that is more beautiful than the thousand-year-old in the south, and the purity is better than the snow crystal lotus that is difficult to find on the snow top of the extreme north, and its charm is also better than the flower on the other side of the Western Tianmu millennium, she is a treasure of Cangwu, but in Li Yu's eyes, she is so gentle and delicate to cherish their mother.

She gave birth to them after a day and two nights, and a day later, she gave birth to twin daughters, and after they were born, she was almost dying, and her father invited a transcendent deceased teacher to keep her soul.

She often sat in the warm sun and quietly held her hard-won children in her arms, her slender and silky hands gently rubbed their hair and cheeks, pinched their noses with her fingers, touched their lips, the fragrance of her body made him intoxicated and wanted to sleep, and the fragrant warmth of her chuckle made him want to immerse himself forever.

She said, "If only I could hold you like this forever." ”

Every time she said this, Li Yu grabbed her with his short, chubby hands harder.

She said: "We are all ordinary, we all need our loved ones to warm us, care for us, cherish us, and you should treat your loved ones like this." ”

Every time she said this, Li Yu would feel so happy that her nose was sour and her eyes were moist.

She said: "We are not ordinary, and there are thousands of people under our feet. Look at this warm sun, he is so kind, so that people are happy and peaceful, and you should also treat them like this warm sun. ”

Every time she said this, Li Yu felt so bright in her heart.

For his family, he knew that his father and queen mother were not in harmony, and although he rarely saw his parents affectionate, he never saw them quarrel or be indifferent to each other, and they always respected each other.

His father, Emperor Li Xi, has always been considered to be introverted and smiling, perhaps he is true when facing others, but he is not like this in Li Yu's eyes.

In Li Yu's eyes, when his father looked at his mother, there was always a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were full of softness and warmth. And every time he saw him and his sister, the smile on his face would be greatly released, and he would laugh out loud from time to time.

When he had time, he would play with them, teach them to ride horses, shoot arrows, paint and play chess, and he would always smile, carry them high with his strong arms, and tickle their necks with his bearded chin. He was always patient in explaining and teaching, and from time to time he would come up with some novel ways for them to have fun. He was the best father he could be, and Li Yu never doubted that every time he had him, he would laugh, and every time their mother would look at them with a smile on her face.

His father would sometimes look at him and Ni'er fixedly, as if he was examining something, and the smile on his face would gradually retract but still hang on the corners of his mouth, and then he would say with satisfaction, "You are like your mother." "As if it were great luck and comfort.

And this deep smile that gradually put away, Li Yu did not finally understand what kind of courage and generosity it contained until many years later, when the legend about himself began to prevail in the Nine Lands.

When he was a child, his father occasionally bathed him. He sat and washed him, his face calm and gentle.

"Yu'er, do you know what it looks like to be clean?"

"Yu'er is clean like this. He patted his little chest.

"Single-mindedness is clean. He looked at him with a smile and said, "Our Yu'er must grow into a clean man who stands up to the sky." ”

"Yu'er will, Father. ”

After that night, Li Yu woke up on horseback, the morning light was faint, and the horse was still galloping. "Uncle Wang......" he cried weakly.

Li Yao grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and lifted him up and straightened him with the other, sandwiching him between the crooks of his arms. Li Yu turned his head sideways to see Ni'er, who was also sitting in front of Xuan Ming, while his Uncle Wang and Xuan Ming, as well as the few remaining cavalry sergeants who were galloping behind him, all had bright red eyes, broken armor on their bodies, blood stains all over their bodies, and the smell of blood was still lingering. It wasn't a nightmare, or he was still in a nightmare and couldn't wake up.

After running wildly for several days, they escaped pursuit.

Li Yao led everyone to find the remnants of the Longxiang army that had been defeated and gathered in front of him, and gathered all the way, leaving four or five thousand people in the hundreds of thousands of counterinsurgency troops. After Li Lie, the uncle and prince of the emperor who commanded the rebellion this time, led them back to the remnants of the army, knelt down in front of Li Yu with an expressionless face, kowtowed fiercely, and led his followers away. Mr. Li said two of his three sons had been killed in battle. When Li Yu heard this, the two tall and mighty uncles immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

It has been dozens of days since Li Yao introduced the remnants of the army into the small city of repulsion far away from Shangdu and near the junction of Kunwu.

During the ups and downs along the way, Li Yu's brothers and sisters asked him more than once how he and Xuan Ming's father and queen mother were doing, and how they were in the capital, they couldn't bear to say, they only said that it was not clear, and everything would be discussed when they settled down, and others were silent when they saw their brothers and sisters.

One day not long after entering the rebuke of evil spirits, Li Yao came to the front of the two brothers and sisters, invited them to sit upright, stood in front of them, and said in a solemn voice with a solemn expression: "My emperor and queen said goodbye to you that night, in order to prevent the Changfeng army from continuing to slaughter, they climbed the high platform hand in hand, and fell and collapsed together. ”

Their parents died, and despite the premonition in their hearts, the news still shocked the two children for a while. Li Ni cried first, and then Li Yu cried loudly, "No! No! Father and mother will not die!" Li Yu shouted, as if he was clinging to his mother's shirt that day, and wanted to resist the news with all his might.

Li Yao, who was dressed in Xuanjin armor, knelt down on one knee, looked at Li Yu calmly and said: "You are the only prince, you should succeed the great unification, we will spread the news to the land, the new emperor will ascend the throne, and then pass on the text, and the kings will come to Qinjun to quell the rebellion!

How can he be an emperor for a child without his parents, he doesn't want to be strong, he doesn't want an emperor, he just needs to wake up from a nightmare. Li Yu thought so.

But everything is not something he can control or even influence, under the auspices of Li Yao, the young Li Yu hurriedly ascended the throne, and sacrificed to the gods and ancestors in the evil city, and the first emperor Li Xi Temple was called Shengrenzong. He sat numbly on the hard and cold throne, and saw the golden dragon soaring in the clouds on the fluttering Xuanbian banner, and the soldiers in golden armor all over the ground kneeling down on one knee, and the mountain shouted Long live, as if he had fallen into a nightmare and was firmly bound, motionless, and fear struck his heart violently.

Li Yu later learned that in fact, since the defeat of the city, they used flying pigeons and fast horses, in the name of the first emperor and the new emperor, I don't know how many letters have been passed to the kings of the lands, and the tone has changed from the beginning with the order of the emperor of the nine lands, to the later almost begging when they stick to the evil spirits, but these kings who have been paying tribute every year in the past, or pushing the pond for various reasons, or have no response, are unwilling to send troops to support, and some even issue notices to question the status of the new emperor.

Li Yu naturally didn't understand all this, and he didn't know if Li Yao understood. He just often saw his uncle Wang wearing the Xuanjin dragon head belt and Mingguang armor, which symbolized the glory of the clan in the past, standing on the high city tower for a long time.

The main piece of Emperor Jun's Xuanjin armor is as dark as ink, and each piece is gilded, which is cold and majestic, and shows magnificence, and the waist is decorated with dragon, tiger and leopard heads, indicating the lofty status in the army. At this time, Li Yao was lonely, the bright red cloak behind him was hunting in the wind, and his red pupils must be looking in the direction of the capital in the east.

Li Yu's heart was filled with sadness, and this was a feeling he deeply experienced for the first time in his life.
