The autumn breeze is bleak, and a little sword and silver light in the night is even more chilly.

Countless pairs of eyes flashed with a sword-like light, a sword-like glow, looking at the palace not far away.

Suddenly, a young soldier silently appeared behind the leader of this team:

"Your Excellency."

"How?" Without looking back, the leader of the general asked in a deep voice.

"Everything is as usual, but no one is in or out, and it is obvious that as the general expected, he has already received the news."

The general immediately turned his head to look at him: "Got the news?" How so? ”

"The temple was dark, and there were no lights or candles."

The general's words made the generals squint: "The old practice in the palace, except for the cold palace and the secluded court, needs to be bright day and night. That is, the palace lord does not like to be bright when he sleeps at night, and the palace courtyard in front of the palace must also have a red light. There is no light and no candle...... It seems that someone really leaked the news. ”

"General, what should we do next?" The soldier asked softly.

"Return to Mr. Ming."

……

After a short time, the soldiers who took the order turned around and returned: "General." ”

"How?"

"Chief Ming has an order, don't pay attention to it too much, just wait for everyone in the hall to show up, and immediately take it for treason."

"Without evidence, how to win the royal family?"

"Chief Ming said, don't worry, when the general takes them, he will naturally find all the evidence that the general needs - including human witnesses, including physical evidence."

The general looked back at his men and said no more. Turning his head and leaning down slightly, he grinned, "Okay." ”

On the other side, under the corridor of the Danxiao Palace.

Looking at Mei Niang, who was dressed in palace clothes and sitting firmly on the open space in front of Danxiao Palace, Minghe took a deep breath.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Master."

Minghe turned around and looked at Xiao Bao'er, who was holding a sword in his hand and followed by four little waiters.

"Give it to us!" Minghe put his arms behind his waist with his backhand, dressed solemnly, reached out and took the sword, solemnly held it in front of him, his eyes were firmly fixed on it, but his feet did not hesitate to go in the direction of Mei Niang.

Xiao Bao'er watched him walk in front of Mei Niang, watched Mei Niang take the sword, watched Mei Niang give him an order, watched him receive the order, respectfully thanked the order and returned, walked in front of herself, and then asked: "Master, Niangniang, she ......"

"Enough." Minghe's expression when mentioning Mei Niang has always been respectful and solemn.

But today, this reverence and solemnity have been swept away and replaced by a ......

Adore.

Almost fanatical worship.

This surprised Xiao Bao'er, but she didn't ask too many questions, just turned her head to look at Mei Niang, and said in a low voice: "Is it really possible?" It's just the mother......"

"Some people, one person can be worth a million heavy armor." Akira looked at the woman who was sitting alone in the empty and cold courtyard with burning eyes.

Xiao Bao'er also looked over, looking at it, his originally frowning brows relaxed, and there seemed to be some faint smile:

Oh, yes...... The courtyard in front of this Danxiao Hall is so large that people only feel that there is no boundary. So when you walk here alone, you are usually scared.

But Mei Niang sat there, alone, but it seemed to be ......

Her dazzling crown and red palace clothes, in a dark night, scorched and lit up the entire Danxiao Palace, the entire Jiucheng Palace!

……

"Whoa......

Flowing water.

In a small pavilion in the east palace of Jiucheng Palace, Li Hong drank and poured together with King Xu Li Xiao, and turned his head together to look at a vessel outside Xiaoxuan.

"Your Highness is fresh, this thing, I remember it is a farmer's thing!"

"I don't know what this is, but I went out hunting with my father before, passed by a farmer, and saw that there was such a set of things outside his manor, and I was curious. At that time, the weather was hot, and the palace was irritable, and the sound of the bamboo hitting the stone was really beautiful in my ears, so I couldn't help but sit next to it and listened to it for a while. After listening to it for a while, I felt that my heart was calm and cold...... So later, in front of the two residences in the Taiji Palace, the Zhongzheng Hall and the Lizheng Palace, they also painted two places for purification - but even the father and queen mother also liked it, so they also placed one together with the ninety percent palace. ”

When Li Xiao heard this, he laughed silently: "I see...... However, His Royal Highness is right, such a bamboo knocking sound, although it is not said to be clear as the cloud chime, nor as good as the ease of the qin, but it has a special interest in it. ”

Li Hong nodded, and groaned with a smile: "It's also a coincidence in this palace." If you don't follow your father to hunt, you will never know that there are such capable people in the people, who come up with the idea of cutting off the green bamboo in half, pouring it with water droplets, and beating the bluestone under the bamboo with the power of water, taking this sound to startle the deer, so as to ensure that it does not disturb the effect of the people's fields. ”

When Li Xiao heard this, he also smiled and said: "Sure enough, there are really great wise people among the people." It is no wonder that in daily life, whether it is the father or the queen mother, he always teaches again and again, saying that there are countless strange people and scholars in the world, but you can't think that after reading a few years of reading a few books, you can be invincible in the world. ”

Li Hong also claimed that it was, and then said: "I just don't know, but others can't hear such words." ”

Li Xiao smiled, looked thoughtfully at the bamboo outside the Xuan, and suddenly said softly after a while: "Don't say that...... It's this startling deer bamboo, the sound of hitting the stone is so crisp, how many people can hear it? ”

The two brothers fell silent. In the huge courtyard, only the sound of the hammer knocking on the stone remains, which rings unhurriedly, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, which is very moving.

……

Ninety percent of the palace outside the west three miles.

In the inner courtyard of King Han's Garden.

Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, was alone, sitting in the middle of the courtyard, far away, casting his eyes on the distant night sky.

Tonight, the moon is full like a wheel, but there is not a single star in sight.

He asked in a low voice with a sigh and a smile: "There are no two masters in the country, and there are no two days...... This truth is understood by this king, and he originally recognized it...... But now it seems that with you, even if we are a cold star with a remnant of glory, it will not work...... Case...... In that case......"

He repeated the words twice in succession, but he did not finish at all, but in a daze, he looked away from the full moon, which radiated a soft light and was as clear as a mirror, and then looked at the dark courtyard in front of him.

There is only a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and in this courtyard on the ground, there is only a lone lamp standing alone.

Li Yuanjia's surroundings were pitch black, and except for the place around him that was reflected by the lights as if it was day, everything else was completely dark, and there was no light at all.

He looked at the darkness, silent, silent.

After a long time, a dry and deep voice came out of his mouth: "They...... Already waiting outside, right? Waiting for the moment when this king and you step out of this garden...... Right? ”

"Yes."

After a long time, a low reply sounded in the darkness, like a ghost, light and quiet, and there was hardly any anger in it.

"So...... The time has come for you to make a choice. Li Yuanjia spoke again astringently, and said lightly: "Together with this king, I chose to rush out of the gate of this villa, meet those axes and swords, and risk my life, just seeking death and life...... Or stay in this courtyard with this king, and guard the lonely lamp of the bright moon until dawn...... It's your choice. ”

For a long time, there was silence.

"Don't hesitate any longer, this ...... I'm afraid it's the last time you have a choice. In the future, after tonight, there will be no such opportunity. ”

He spoke slowly to the silent darkness.

“…… The subordinates only asked His Highness one thing, I don't know if it's okay? ”

"What?" Li Yuanjia can still laugh, and even smile more gently and amiably than usual.

"If tonight, my subordinates and others, accompanied by His Royal Highness King Han, are here to guard this lonely lamp and bright moon until tomorrow when the sun is rising...... So, will everything be different? ”

“…… There will be, right? Rarely, Li Yuanjia thought for a while, nodded and said slowly: "The sun is rising, and all things are naturally renewed. ”

"Then this round of Hongsun, after all, is still the same, once it is night, it will still be replaced by this bright moon after all, isn't it?"

"The sun will eventually rise, the sun rises and the moon replace, and the stars move, this is the truth of heaven and earth, and it will not change through the ages. How can this king dare to violate the principles of heaven? ”

"Your Highness, if Your Highness does not violate the principles of heaven, then this long night will be easier to survive? Or will this tomorrow morning, the rising sun, be different from yesterday, the day before yesterday, or even this since the beginning of Hongmeng, the day by day, the eternal sun? ”

This question made Li Yuanjia stunned for a long time, all the words, everything, were condensed on his lips, but he couldn't answer it after all.

……

Ninety percent of the palace outside the east three miles.

In the British Gong Li Annex.

Li Tao, dressed in armor, sat upright in the courtyard, his palm pressed on the long knife at his waist.

This knife is not the so-called sword magic weapon that you can see in the past.

Such a treasure knife is already flooded in this majestic Tang Dynasty world. Wuyi Sulun, a pawn of a peddler, a merchant and a Tang scholar, if you stop someone at random and ask a question in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, nine times out of ten, you can tell you that he has such a peerless sword at home.

Fake?

Today's Tang people are flashy and vulgar, but they never like to say things that they can't do, or are not sure of.

They can tell you that it is true.

It is precisely because of this kind of treasure knife that there have been too many over the years, but it makes people feel even more that this war knife that is carried on Li Tao's waist, so simple that it does not even have a single pattern, and the war knife that is not even tied with a silk silk is particularly eye-catching, making people eager to try it, and they urgently need to see its edge.

Everyone around Li Tao understands this truth, only Li Tao himself does not understand.

He really doesn't understand.
