The annual autumn hunt is a rule left over from hundreds of years ago.

The flag is unfurled, and the bright yellow brocade flags are flying in the wind. Emperor Lintian, Emperor Qiyun and the prince's ministers were guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and the mighty procession stretched for ten miles.

In the extremely noble and gorgeous chariot, Emperor Lin and Emperor Qiyun sat side by side, and on the left and right were the concubines who were released from the cold palace and the beautiful women arranged by Emperor Lin for Emperor Qiyun to relieve his loneliness. The emperors of the two countries, one cold and one elegant, have two completely different temperaments, but they are both deep and unfathomable, making people unable to see through the sorrow in their hearts

Emperor Lin looked at the refugees who were crowded in the city at this moment, forcibly suppressed by the army, scattered on both sides, and the crowd was full of complaints, but they were not allowed to approach because of the emperor's authority. Emperor Lin frowned, his eyes shining. Emperor Qiyun sat upright, his eyes not squinting, and the corners of his mouth had a thin smile that seemed to be absent.

After the imperial chariot, it was the prince's chariot, accompanied by the princess and Mrs. Xiang, the prince looked around, faintly flickering and uneasy. After that, there were four people, including the Nine Emperor Princes, Zongzheng Wuwu, Fu Chip, and Manyao, and I don't know who arranged it, so they let the four of them go together.

Zongzheng sat in a lazy posture like no worries, leaning back in his chair, his face expressionless, as if all the hustle and bustle around him had nothing to do with him, he didn't even want to lift his eyelids, as if everything in the world couldn't enter his eyes, and the only person he wanted to see, he couldn't see, because another man in the middle separated them from the ends of the world.

Fu Chip sat upright but did not pat, under the dark blue wide sleeved robe, he held Manyao's hand tightly, his expression was extremely gentle, and sometimes he turned his head to look at her, smiled at her gently, and undisguised his affection.

Sitting quietly, looking at the crowded refugees around him, the uneasiness in his heart spread more and more. All this, Zongzheng knows without worry, and it is impossible for Emperor Lin not to know at all? He chose this period to abolish the crown prince and establish Zongzheng Wuwu, obviously to hand over all the responsibilities to Zongzheng Wuwu, looking at the present, only Zongzheng Wuwu has the ability to balance Fu Chip.

There are 70,000 troops in the south of the Yangtze River, Fu Chip is in charge of 400,000 troops, and 270,000 are on the border, and there are only about 130,000 at his disposal, and the 50,000 Janissaries are personally in charge of Emperor Lin. It's just that I don't know what Zongzheng will do? What role does her royal brother play in this? If Fu Chip succeeds this time, what benefits can the imperial brother get from it? And her, what should she do?

Knowing that a great change is about to happen, she can neither stop nor change, she can only wait powerlessly for all this to come, and can only watch her husband and former lover become a fire and water, fighting to the death, how should she face such a cruel situation? Her heart is frying like a fire, and she knows very well that once the winner is decided, it will probably end in casualties, and at that time, where should she go? If Fu Chip fails, she will be among those who will be punished, and if the sect is defeated, she may become the most honorable woman in this country, but is that what she wants? No!

Along the way, there was a rare silence, even the Nine Emperor Princes did not speak, and Ling Er, who was accompanying him next to the chariot, looked at the light gray figure in the front of the imperial chariot, which was also surprisingly quiet.

After walking for two hours, I finally arrived at my destination. Western suburbs, royal hunting grounds.

The dense forest is deep and vast. The hunting ground here is different from the ordinary royal hunting ground, the founding emperor of the Lintian Kingdom is an incomparably brave hero, and the hunting he requires must be in the primeval forest, and the fierce creatures in the wild can be regarded as a real skill!

Located in the northern part of the hunting grounds, the palace is not as extravagant as the imperial palace, but it is also majestic.

The day's journey was tiring, and no substantial hunting activities were arranged. The group went back to the palace or camp tent to rest.

After dinner, Fu Chip saw that Manyao had been unsettled, so he said that he wanted to accompany her out for a walk, but who knew that just a few steps out of the door coincided with the prince's visit.

The prince said: "It seems that the time for the prince to come, where are the generals and princesses going?"

Fu Chip saluted and smiled: "I've seen the prince!" Wechen is planning to accompany his wife out to relax, I don't know what the prince has to say when he comes to find Wechen? ”

The prince raised his hand and said "exempt" and looked at the blank man, and said with a smile: "The world knows that the general has superb riding skills, shoots stones and drinks feathers, this prince is here to ask for advice, I don't know the general" "Is it convenient at this moment?"

Fu Chip hesitated slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said: "The prince is serious, and he is ashamed!" After that, he turned to Manyao and gently instructed: "Rong Le, you can walk around casually, don't go to the hunting ground." It's getting dark, don't go far, remember to come back early. ”

Man Yao nodded with a faint smile, bowed slightly to the prince, and left the palace alone.

Around the hunting ground, there are guards in ten steps, and there are people saluting everywhere they go. She was upset, so she wanted to find a quiet place to stay alone for a while.

The sun sets early, and the sky and the earth are vast and twilight. She walked around the palace and towards a higher place. The steeper the mountain road is, the more difficult it is to walk, the more she climbs, and she doesn't even want to use light skills. When she went up to a flat place, she paused and looked around, this place is not big, although it is autumn, but there is still green grass, on the side of the grass, there are large dandelions, some still bloom yellow flowers, some flowers have been zeroed, and the white crown pompom blows, it will scatter and fly, swaying in the air.

She opened her five fingers, and a piece of fluff like a pure white flower umbrella fell on her palm, so beautiful, but so inconspicuous. She looked at it and was stunned, and remembered who in her previous life had said that dandelion's flower language: unstoppable love.

She looked up at the sky, and the sky was gray, like a gray mist, and she couldn't see it really. Next to the group of dandelions was a tall rock, which seemed to be flat, and on one side of the rock was a huge maple tree, with branches extending out, almost blocking half of the rock. On the pale gray rocks, the dense maple leaves are half red but not red, like green but not green.

There are always some things in this world, which are in a state of ambiguity and confusion, which makes you try your best to see through, but you can't see through it, and you can't tell it apart.

She slowly stepped up the stone steps beside the rock, and suddenly froze

She thought that there should be no one in such a remote and quiet place, but it turned out that there were people like her, who didn't like that kind of excitement and just wanted to hide quietly.

On the rocks covered by maple leaves, a man in white pillowed his arm, lying half of his body, one leg slightly bent, the hem of his clothes slid down, spreading out a piece of rock.

The man's eyes were closed, and he could still see the shallow tiredness between his eyebrows.

Laughing at herself, how could it be such a coincidence, she deliberately walked farther, but she found such a place and met this person she was most unwilling to face.

She instinctively turned around, just like the last time she had made a fuss in Manxiang. But before she moved, a tired voice came from behind her: "Minran is here, why are you in such a hurry." ”

Her body was slightly stiff, but she turned around with a faint smile, and said indifferently and politely: "Sorry for disturbing the rest of the king."

Zong Zheng Wuwu slowly opened his eyes, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was slightly cold and mocking, and said, "You must call the scale so carefully?" ”

Manyao smiled faintly and said, "Hard work can be wasted, and the rules must be followed." ”

Zong Zheng Wu hooked the corner of his lips, but there was no smile in his evil eyes, only a little mockery, he stared at her eyes, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "You, who do you want to live?" ”

Manyao's body was shocked, and this question was asked so bluntly, like a sharp knife cutting straight into the abdomen, which made people want to break their hearts.

Who does she want to live? She asked herself the same thing.

"Why, don't you dare to answer?" Zongzheng's carefree eyes were fixed on her, as sharp as if he wanted to see her through.

The smile was slightly cold, and after a pause, he said quietly: "Do I hope that whoever lives can live?" In this world, in the face of hatred and imperial power, a woman's hope never changes anything, does it? ”

Those great loves that are recited by the world, and the red faces and disasters that have brought disaster to the country and the people spurned by the people of the world, are nothing when they come to her! A woman, in an unforgettable hatred, in a grand political whirlpool, is actually so insignificant, so insignificant!

Each of them has thousands of lives tied behind them, Fu Chip has endured humiliation for many years, it is not easy to promise not to use her to harm Zongzheng Wuwu, how much determination does it take to make such a promise, and how much impact will this promise have on his original Ji Ge? She had no way of knowing. And Zongzheng is worry-free, she has no right to ask him for anything, standing in his position, he has the noble responsibility to stand up at the most critical time, defend the imperial power, protect his relatives, although he has an untiring knot with the emperor, but after all, it is his father who indulges and pampers him in every way, and it is also the country that his mother has achieved with happiness, he can refuse to accept it, but he can't let others plunder.

Zong Zheng was slightly stunned and said, "I only ask what you think in your heart." ”

Lowered his eyes, looked at the dandelions flying in the wind under the rocks, his eyes were empty, and said: "Since I can't change it, then, is my idea important?" "If she could, she wanted them all to live, okay? She thought for a moment, suddenly raised her head, and said, "If you win, can you let him go, don't kill him all." He, for so many years, "", lived a hard life. He doesn't deserve to die at your hands! "They're brothers! How can they kill each other?

A flash of pain flashed in Zongzheng's carefree and deep eyes, and he jumped up and grabbed her shoulder, his evil eyes suddenly burning with anger. He frowned, stared at her fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Are you begging me?" For his sake, you begged me! He's already so important in your heart? Is it important that you can let go of your pride for him? ”

Manyao's shoulder was pinched by him, she held her chin high, her eyes were full of stubbornness, and said, "You asked me to say it",

Zong Zheng looked at her eyes without worry, kept watching, and finally laughed softly, the anger and self-deprecation in his eyes were intertwined, as well as the pain that was not easy to be felt. Yes, he brought it on himself! How could he expect that in her heart, he was the most important one?

Manyao looked back at his eyes, her heart was pumped and hurt, she said: "If you lose, I will also give him a blow", "!

"No!!" Zongzheng is worry-free and decisive. Said: "This king will not lose!" Even if I lose, I don't need you to intercede for me! ”

"You ......" He was so proud and conceited, and before he could finish a word, Zongzheng Wuwu suddenly lowered his head and grabbed her lips fiercely, biting through the delicate skin like punishment, and then rafter the bloody breath into her mouth along with his despair.

Man Yao didn't expect him to be a little stunned, and couldn't help but exhale in pain.

Zongzheng let go of her without worry, and his chest kept rising and falling. He asked coldly, "Pain?" I hurt a thousand times more every day, and more than a year of punishment is not enough? What else is enough? I used you once, and you hated me so much, and he used you so many times, but you can forgive him and accept him, and sleep with him every night, why?! His voice was angry and incomprehensible, like an abandoned child, with a vague sense of helplessness and confusion. He used emotions as bait, and the original intention was to use it well, but when he used it, the emotions he expressed to her were all true from his heart, so was it still a use?

Manyao's eyes were painful, but he forced himself to smile and said, "You ask me why?" Don't you understand? "Because of love, I can't accept harm. And because they don't love, they don't forgive or don't forgive, accept or don't accept. She added: "I married the general, not to punish you, let alone to wait for your repentance, I just want to leave you, that's all." You don't have to do anything for me anymore, there are some things, lost, irretrievable. She didn't just say this last sentence to him, she was saying it to herself. Despite the heartache, she still had to tell herself, since there was no hope, why bother?

The strength of Zong Zhengwu's hands was so great that he seemed to want to remove her two arms, his anger, his pain, his despair, in this dark sky, with the cool air of early autumn tightly shrouded her body, slowly seeping into the blood, like an invisible hand, holding her heart, making her breathless

He let go of her suddenly, his face turned pale miserably, he took a few steps back, put one hand on his chest, and as soon as he turned around, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, which he didn't spit out. He turned his back to her, laughed at himself, and laughed miserably: "It turns out that it has always been this king...... Flatter yourself. "If it's not a punishment, it means he's lost the opportunity. He actually wanted to ask her, did she really ever give affection to him? If so, then why don't you even give him the slightest chance to make up for it, and be so resolute. If she just wants to leave him, it can only mean that after that injury, he didn't even leave hatred in her heart.

In that case, what else does he have to say? There was silence behind him, and he didn't look at her anymore, flew down the rock, and walked away.

She was isolated on the rock, watching his back as he swept away, so lonely and lonely. There seemed to be wetness in the corners of her eyes, and she quickly raised her head, and let the bitterness flow backwards, annihilating her internal organs. She didn't want him to be shaken for her, so let him have no distractions and be ruthless, without worrying about whether she would suffer from the fish pond. That's fair to them. She only hopes that on the day they will divide the winner, they can take care of their brotherhood and leave a way for each other to survive.

She descended the hill and came to a bend, where a sharp sword suddenly crossed in front of her. The woman holding the sword had a strong hatred in her eyes that could not be concealed, as if she hated to break her body into pieces at once.

Manyao looked at the woman calmly, and asked lightly, "What does Mrs. Xiang mean?!" ”

Trace Xiang glared at her angrily and asked in a cold voice, "You have a private meeting with a man behind his back again!" Where do you put his face? How can you make him take risks and change his plans for you? If I could, I'd like to kill you to break his mind!" ”

was not surprised, Manyao naturally knew who he was referring to, and from the day she got married, she had already seen a little bit of Xiang Xiang's thoughts about Fu Chip. Maybe she's right, but how can she? It seems that what she expected was not bad, their original plan was really to use her as a bargaining chip to deal with Zongzheng Wuwu! In order to fulfill his promise, Fu Chip temporarily changed his strategy, he should be happy, why is he so sour in his heart?

She used her hand to remove the sword that stood in front of her, and the sword threatened to cut a hole in her hand, and she ignored the anger and hatred of the person behind her, and walked away.

"Rong Le, what's wrong with your hand?" Back in the palace, the prince had already left, Fu Chip came up, and saw that her fingertips were dripping with blood, and there were blood marks all the way, so he couldn't help but be frightened and asked nervously.

Man Yao smiled casually: "It's nothing, I just accidentally bruised it." You don't have to worry. ”

Fu Chip frowned, placed her on a chair, ordered someone to take the wound medicine, took her hand, wiped off the bloodstains, and a deep sword mark appeared in the palm of his hand. Fu Chip's face was gloomy, and his gentle eyes were suddenly gloomy, but he carefully bandaged her wounds without moving, and then told her to rest well, and then made a gesture to go out of the door

Man Yao took his hand from behind, Fu Chip paused, looked back at her, and said, "Don't go." She's for your good! People live in the world, it is not easy to meet a person who treats you sincerely, don't hurt it at will, even if what she does is not your intention. ”

Fu Chip's eyes flashed, and he turned back to live with her, infinitely in love. Man Yao leaned quietly on his chest, not moving. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What would you do if you won?" ”

Fu Chip stiffened slightly, and then asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

A desolate smile is her hope again, what's the use of her hope? Given Zongzheng's worry-free reaction, she did not answer. He only said, "He's your brother." “

"I don't have a brother. He is the son of my enemy. "Fu Chip." The tone was heavy. That is also his biggest rival in love, not only her body, but also her heart.

Man Yao knew that it was useless to say anything, so he only sighed lightly and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me." If you lose, I will accompany you in heaven and on earth. ”

Fu Chip's body was shocked, and he didn't answer immediately, and after a while, Fang asked: "If he loses, you will accompany him in the sky and on the ground, right?!" ”

Manyao closed his eyes, pressed his face against his solid chest, and remained silent.

In the next few days, I hunted every day, and at night I roasted the game that everyone had hunted, and watched the sheng sing and dance, and I looked so calm that I didn't have anything to do.

Until the 6th, the group returned from hunting, holding the spoils in their hands, as excited as a day of hunting.

Emperor Lin and Emperor Qiyun praised them, this autumn hunt, in addition to the emperors and ladies of the two countries, only Zongzheng Wuwu and Fu Chip have not entered the hunting ground. Others were able to bring back a game or two, while others were afraid of encountering wolves and did not dare to go into the deep forest, so they only hunted a small animal such as a hare around. After all, it is a primeval forest, and the beasts in the forest are not artificially raised, and the martial arts are not high enough, so there must be many dangers. The crown prince glanced at Fu Chip, and said with a smile to Zongzheng who was sitting in the lower position with an expressionless face, and said with a smile: "The Seventh Emperor Brother is very good at riding and archery, why are you sitting here these days, not showing off your skills, and hunting happily?" I heard that General Fu's hunting skills are also excellent, why don't you come and compete to see who is better? What does my father think? ”

Emperor Lin lifted his eyelids and looked thoughtfully at Zongzheng Wuwu, only to see that he looked tired and lazy, and had no intention of entering the hunting ground at all, so he couldn't help frowning and didn't respond.

Fu Chip did not shy away from holding Manyao's hand, and she smiled softly: "What does Rong Le like?" I'm going to hunt for you. His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. Such relaxed and casual words seemed to be no problem with hunting at all, but according to his wife's preferences, he could hunt whatever he wanted. The tone with infinite pampering made Zongzheng Wuwu sound extremely harsh.

Man Yao smiled faintly: "The general is casual, anything is good." She just replied casually, and others didn't listen to it like that.

The prince immediately smiled and said: "The general and the princess are really in love, the husband and wife look at it casually, the princess's words, no matter what the general hunts, as long as it is the general's hand, the princess naturally likes it." General, just say this to the princess, you also have to sell some strength, hunt some good things and give them to the princess, so that the princess is affectionate. ”

Fu Chip smiled: "What the prince said is extremely true! Rong Le, I'm going to hunt for you, you wait here for a while. After that, he glanced at the opposite side of Zongzheng Wuwu, only to see Zongzheng Wuwu pinched the armrest of the seat under him, his hands were full of green muscles, his eyes were gloomy, he snorted coldly, and didn't say anything, he took a step away from the table, turned over the horse, took the quiver handed over by the guard, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and raised the whip "driving", the horse was in pain and raised its hooves, and galloped towards the hunting ground like a fly.

Fu Chip let go of Manyao's hand, got up unhurriedly, and turned over the same movement of the horse, and the moment the horse galloped away, the gentle smile on his face faded.

Emperor Lin glanced at Commander Xiang on the side, and Commander Xiang hurriedly ordered a team of Praetorian Guards to follow.

Zongzheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, his heart was turbulent, he whipped violently, and the horse under him flew straight into the depths of the dense forest.

There were few prey along the way, and some were just pheasants and hares, and he didn't bother to look at them at all. Entering the dense forest, he faintly smelled a faint to almost inaudible, as if the fragrance of nature was wafting with the wind, his face changed, he immediately held his breath, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he quickly drew an arrow to pull the bow, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", the arrow broke through the sky, and the turquoise figure on a tree hidden a hundred meters away didn't even have time to snort and rolled to the ground, swallowing his last breath. That arrow, right in the heart, is exactly the same.

He sneered and continued to gallop, leaving deep hoof prints along the way. Before he knew it, he had come to the edge of a hunting ground, and he didn't encounter any prey worthy of his attack, except for the people who lurked in the village every time he walked. On the side of the fence, the fence seems to have been damaged and has collapsed, no wonder there is no prey in the forest! It seems that it was specially prepared for him, and he wanted to see what kind of layout was waiting for him?

Drove the horse over the fence, and a few hundred meters further, at the end of the dense forest, there was a cliff pass......

He tightened the reins, glanced at the tree barrier in front of him, and then at the inconspicuous village stake next to him, curled the corners of his lips disdainfully, beat the horse around the side, and stopped behind the lining barrier, on the edge of the cliff, waiting for the arrival of the people behind him.

Fu Chip also came here along the horseshoe prints along the way, as well as the traces of dead bodies, and he also looked at the tree barrier, his eyes flashed slightly, bypassed from the other side, and stopped at the edge of the cliff, and the distance between him and Zongzheng was more than ten zhang away, far away.

Zong Zheng said coldly: "This king thought that the general was still a figure, but he didn't expect to be so despicable and use such indiscriminate methods!! Those incense were unusual medicines, scattered in the wind, ubiquitous in the air, and people could not guard against it, and he was distracted at first, but it was not much of a hindrance to him.

Fu Chip smiled gently, but with a sense of mockery, and said, "I don't understand the meaning of leaving the king." Ben will travel this way, and see that there is no prey on the road, but there are several corpses, is it not that he can't find the prey from the king, and wants to use people to make up the number? "It's strange that you can't even see a decent beast in such a vast forest.

Zong Zheng sneered: "This king is about to ask the general, where is the prey in the forest?" This king has arrived here, so you might as well have them let them out. ”

Fu Chip's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Where is the prey, how will Ben know?" But he left horseshoe prints and dead bodies all the way from the king, and he would have come here, what do you want?! ”

Zong Zheng snorted coldly, "This king doesn't have time to talk to you, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush." If there is no prey, then you and I will meet each other in real chapters. Zongzheng didn't wait for the words to fall, and he shot quickly, and the three arrows were tied together, and the bow was full.

Fu Chip's eyes flashed with a touch of pubic roots, he was already in a state of high alert, his reaction was natural and sensitive, and when he saw that the other party had a move, he immediately made a move, almost at the same time, and made the same action.

The six arrows are opposite, and the timing is the throat and heart of the other party.

Zongzheng's worry-free phoenix eyes were half-narrowed, and his evil eyes were like hell ice pools, as if he wanted to devour the other party. The full bowstring was pulled half a minute again, and as long as it was loosened slightly, the arrow was bound to break through the other man's throat like a bamboo.

Fu Chip's cold eyebrows and eyes were finally no longer gentle, and his eyes were full of hatred, as if he was about to burn the other party. The strings in his hands were stretched to the extreme, and his pale fingers were ready to open at any moment.

The surroundings were quiet, and the killing machine suddenly started. Even the autumn wind is stained with the awe-inspiring chill of winter.

There are thousands of red faces and white pains
