Chang'an, Daming Palace, Inner Temple, Night.

The Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, who was patrolling the night, was still dutifully patrolling the palace, and from time to time through the window, he could see the armored procession on the city wall walking in a neat formation. In the main hall, the Son of Heaven, who was admired by tens of thousands of people, sat in front of the desk and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and read them carefully. Li Shimin, the second monarch of the Tang Dynasty and the lord of the world, read books all night with oil candles.

Suddenly feeling pain in his chest, Li Shimin frowned, hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, coughed violently, and then opened his hand, there was a bloodstain of Yin Hong. "The borrowed body, sure enough, still can't escape the destiny of heaven." Li Shimin laughed, "Hmph, it's a pity that I forgot the specific time, otherwise I wouldn't be so scared every day." ”

"Time is running out." Suddenly the voice of the guest sounded behind him, although Li Shimin knew that he already knew his situation, he still hid his right hand and turned to look at him, black clothes, black robes, black knives. "You're here?"

"What does it feel like to know that you're dying?" Through the mask, he couldn't see the expression on the face of the ghost, but in his words, he could hear a trace of concern.

"It's amazing." Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Today, someone offered me the so-called elixir, but I refused. ”

"The ideas of the Taoist priests are really interesting." There was a slight disdain in his words.

"Go meet him." Li Shimin looked at Youjike, with a hint of pleading in his eyes: "He misses you very much." He wished he could see the nod of his head.

...

Silent rejection.

He looked down with a disappointed look on his face, "Okay. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Dou Niang's side is about to lose control." didn't care about Li Shimin's expression, and said politely.

"Didn't she take her medicine?" Li Shimin was slightly surprised.

"There was some accident, and those 'dead medicines' were rescued." You said politely: "Now Dou Niang is looking for medicine everywhere without restraint, and the amount of leftover 'crude medicine' is getting bigger and bigger, if it is not controlled, it will inevitably endanger Chang'an." ”

"Ugh." Li Shimin sighed: "Why is this happening." ”

"Grievances are predetermined." Yu and politely said: "The cause of the evil done back then is the evil fruit today, which is more serious, you should understand in your heart." ”

"..."A moment of silence, like a calm candle flame, suddenly trembled. When to get your hands on? He asked.

"Three days later, at the end of the day."

"The Praetorian Army will come to your aid." Li Shimin lowered his head and muttered, as if he remembered something, and was about to speak, but there was no longer a shadow of a secluded guest in front of him.

The window was open, and a gust of night wind blew into the hall and blew the oil candles on the table, and the light in Taizong's eyes flickered slightly, and the scene of the year came into view again.

The fourth year of Wude, May.

The Tiger Prison is closed. Bordering the Yellow River in the north, Bishui in the west, and Queshan Mountain in the south, in the midst of the chaotic army for twenty miles, a woman rampaged through the crowd like crazy. On the high hill in the distance, the young King Qin and the black-clothed man beside him looked at everything that was happening, and a triumphant smile appeared on their faces. "It's poisonous."

"There's something powerful about it." The man in black on the side spoke quite approvingly: "Do you want to get rid of her?" ”

"No need." King Qin smiled: "What is the difference between a tiger without claws and a cat?" Spare her life. ”

"A tiger is a tiger after all." The man in black shook his head, and was about to draw an arrow and a bow, but King Qin saw it in his eyes and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Just let me beg you." She has lost her martial arts now, and according to what you said, she can't harm anyone in the future, so why can't she be spared? Stay stable in the world and return to the heart of the world. Let this poor girl live in Chang'an. So that we can keep her under control. ”

"You're so merciful." The man in black put away his bow and arrows, and turned his head to look at the young King Qin, no wonder that the King of Qin at this time was only in his twenties. "If you don't change your character, one day you will suffer because of it."

"It's still a long time." King Qin smiled heartily: "There are still many opportunities." ”

"Perhaps." The man in black broke his bow and arrows and threw them off the high post.

"Lee's dogs! Come out! Come out! Dou Niang held the xylophone and howled hysterically in the chaos of the army: "Don't dare to confront me head-on, just play such a despicable method!" Shameless! Shameless! She plucked the strings frantically, but the blade that popped out could only repel people within a few steps, completely lacking the power of the previous 'blood in a piece of music, breaking ten thousand armies'. The Tang army surrounded her, letting her stare crack and her teeth clench. "Where did you take him?!! Give it back! Give him back to me! Yes!!!! Like a trapped beast in a wooden cage, the last scream of despair, Dou Niang roared angrily in the sky, like thunder falling, the sound rippled in the Tang army, and the innermost circle of Tang soldiers roared back.

The sound of the momentum decreased, the exhausted Dou Niang's eyes were dark, and she could no longer support her feet, her hands were loosened, the xylophone slipped from her arms, and the whole person fell like a jade mountain, crumpled the peach blossoms, and fell into the sea of people at once.

July, Chang'an City.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" King Qin looked at Dou Jiande, who was tied up by five flowers on the stage and was embarrassed. "Is there anything you need me to relay?" Thinking that the once-prominent King Xia was about to be in a different place now, the young King Qin frowned slightly, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he forcibly held back his emotions and pretended to be sophisticated.

"What is there to say, to whom?" The man in black on the side snorted, looked at the street in the distance and said coldly: "Your Xia Kingdom's field register and eight treasure jade seals, but your wife personally handed them over to us, do you still expect them to cry bitterly for your death?" ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, bumped the man in black with his elbow and said in a low voice: "People are about to die, why do you want to pour cold water again?" ”

"Just tell the truth." The man in black snorted, and when he saw that Li Shimin was going to say something more, he turned his head and said no more.

"I don't want to kill you, but Your Majesty is afraid of your prestige in Hebei, if you don't kill you, I'm afraid that someone will use your name to cause trouble in the future." Li Shimin said sincerely: "If you have any wishes, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely help you realize them." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qin." Dou Jiande said this, but turned his head to thank the man in black: "Thank you." ”

"Humph!" The man in black turned away. Li Shimin was slightly embarrassed, but he still straightened his face and motioned for the executioner to carry out the execution.

"The mountains see the smoke in the distance..."Dou Jiande lowered his head and muttered.

The executioner swung his sword.

"Watching the sunset in the bamboo..."

Li Shimin nodded.

"The bird flies on the eaves..."

Li Shimin closed his eyes and turned his head.

...

The crowd dispersed, and Li Shimin finally found the man in black standing at the corner of the street. "I thought you were back."

"You told him?" The man in black looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled. "You arranged a place for Dou Niang, and rushed back and forth to eliminate her guilt, I told him to let him go at ease, what's wrong?"

"That's a lot of work." The man in black said coldly.
