At this moment, the Valhalla in the Imperial City of the Imperial Capital was quiet, the golden glass headlamps emitted a dim light, and every photo of the Imperial Heroes on the three-story pavilion wall was dyed gold, hiding the original black and white tones. The thirteen-zhang golden statue of the first Emperor Xuan in the main hall still stands in the center of the main hall, with the colorful glazed roof of the Valhalla on his head, the obsidian floor under his feet, and the half-human-high sword in both hands, lifelike, just like a living one.

Under the golden statue is a crystal coffin, the coffin is surrounded by white flowers, and in the coffin lies a beautiful woman with long dark blue hair and a plain white dress, she holds a white rose on her chest with both hands, her eyes are naturally closed, and her expression is natural, like a sleeping beauty.

Suvani died violently after giving birth to the second child of the Dongfang family on the Chihong execution ground, and the Senate made an exception to bury her on aristocratic terms and held a funeral at Valhalla.

Dongfang Lie was wearing a white tight-fitting dress, wearing a white filial piety flower on his chest, holding a somewhat dry white rose in his right hand, looking at the woman in the crystal coffin, his face was pale but there was no expression. At his feet were white flowers, which were thrown at the feet after the funeral ceremony, and were trampled on, and the originally beautiful flowers became very ugly.

Three days ago, lying here to be sent off was the respected three generations of Xuanhuang Hongjun Ming.

Dongfang Lie stepped forward, lying on the lid of the crystal coffin, staring at the woman with wide eyes, as if he was muttering something in his mouth. I don't know how long he looked at it before he stood up, and put the white rose on the coffin with a trembling right hand.

"Mom, you shouldn't have left us like this." Dongfang Lie's face was expressionless, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The sound of laughter came from somewhere in Chihong City, and he knew that it was a "funeral party" held by the magnates and the elders of the family, and when Suvani died, the magnates not only did not feel sad, but had to hold such a carnival to celebrate. At the funeral, these ugly people were wiping tears from their eyes, but they were laughing in their hearts. Dongfang Lie thought to himself that it would be nice if his father was here, but his father was greatly stimulated and recuperated in a coma, and his uncles also stayed at home.

At my mother's funeral, there was no one to talk to.

"I ...... Hate these people, everyone wears a mask of hypocrisy. Dongfang Lie said silently, and he sat on the floor with his back against the crystal coffin.

He remembered that when he was six years old, he rode his grandfather's precious "ghost night horse" around Ruolan East City, and the people on the side of the road applauded and cheered for him. He came to the palace again, openly riding a horse in the square, provoking a group of guards to chase him behind and call him to dismount, but as soon as he patted the horse's back, the ghost night horse rushed to the backyard, Suvani heard the sound and went out, and saw Dongfang Lie rushing over on a horse, the reins of the ghost night horse were clenched in his hand, the horse's front hooves were raised high, and Dongfang Lie was majestic.

The woman applauded him aloud, and his face was expressionless, but his heart was full of joy. He loves to be complimented by this woman who calls Mom.

But the woman died, and he didn't even know why the woman had just left.

"Mom, you're crying, aren't you? Mom, don't cry, I'll be obedient, I'll do what you say, I won't go against them," Dongfang Lie turned his head slightly, "But it's not tonight!" ”

With that, he stood up abruptly and took off the black tuxedo top, revealing the red ukiyo-e underneath. He walked to the apse of Valhalla and took out the oil he had hidden from a hidden room. He dragged two cans of fire oil to the crystal coffin surrounded by fallen flowers, poured all the special oil on the coffin, and took out the silver lighter from his belt. Dongfang Lie's fingers moved slightly, and the lighter popped out of the spark, igniting the flint and lightening a cluster of flames. He stared at his mother, and his eyes seemed to burn with three thousand flames.

"......Boom" Dongfang Lie threw the lighter on the coffin, and rushed to the dome like a dragon in shock as if the flames were in shock, and the holy image of the slaughterer was reflected in the firelight. The crystal coffin was gradually engulfed in flames.

"Mom, I will definitely avenge you." Dongfang Lie clenched his fists, "Start today!" ”

In the imperial city, the northwest is the imperial horse room, where there are thousands of excellent war horses, three generations of Xuan Huang has always respected riding battles, so the war horses are all famous breeds. Dongfang Lie came to the gate of the Imperial Horse Room alone, kicked the gate open, and the door fell to the ground with a bang, kicking up the dust on the ground. He strode in, and at the age of seven and a half, he knocked down all the people who stood in his way with his bare hands.

It's like knocking down the wooden man when he was cultivating, and during the academy assessment, he beat the hardwood man into a pile of scraps with his bare hands.

Then he came to the stable, opened all the copper locks with his bare hands, pushed open the heavy black iron railing door, and whistled flexibly, and the horses rushed out restlessly, and Dongfang Lie jumped onto a sturdy and swarthy war horse, just like when he was six years old, and galloped out.

In a hidden hall in the Imperial City, all the people who attended the funeral gathered here, and it was not so much a funeral mourning party as an upper-class drinking party.

They closed the heavy door, afraid that Dongfang Lie would hear it, and almost everyone had a satisfied smile, from the elderly elder of the Dongfang family to the bewitching prince and wife of the Hongjun family, without exception.

"Elder, this time our Dongfang family is unlucky, thanks to your help." Rong Qi, the elder of the Dongfang family, spoke, and at the same time picked up a goblet filled with golden wine from the table, and saluted the patriarch in front of him.

Chong Yi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said with a smiling face, "It's just like-minded, we are all thinking about the stability of the empire and the human race." ”

"That...... Regarding yesterday's matter in the imperial capital, the young master is still young and impulsive, and please don't mind Your Excellency the patriarch. Rong said.

Chong Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, but you have to change this title, Lord Dongfang Xiao, now you are the authentic head of the family, haha." While the two were talking, the prince's wife next to him walked over, "Dongfang Lie's little kid is still alone in Valhalla, it's okay." ”

"Children, mothers will definitely be sad when they are gone, and they will forget after a while." Rong said.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves and horses came from nowhere, and although the sound was subtle and muffled by the sound of live music and conversation, the people present were basically elite monks of the nobility, and their hearing range was very wide, so many people still heard it.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer, and almost everyone was looking in the same direction: the brass-wrapped gate.

The nobles who were closer to the gate were all dressed in black gowns and polite, but their hands were already in their pockets or belts, and they were well trained and ready to draw their weapons, and their consciousness immediately told them that they were likely to be enemies, but they did not know which enemy they were along the way.

With a loud bang, the brass door was violently slammed from the outside, like a huge pillar hitting the door, and the door up to six inches thick was slammed open, and the two door pages fell heavily on the rich red carpet.

Dongfang Lie appeared at the door on a black horse, angry King Kong, the nostrils of the black horse of the * spewed hot air, although the difference in stature was large, but the combination of the two was perfect, like a cannonball that was restless in the mechanical barrel and was about to explode.

"It's Dongfang Lie......" Near the door, an Oriental patriarch put his hand down.

Seeing that there was no enemy, everyone relaxed a little, but they were a little embarrassed because the party was exposed. The reason why they had a secret gathering was that they didn't want the stubborn young master of the Dongfang family to know, for fear that he would cause trouble.

But Dongfang Lie was in front of everyone, his eyes were fierce, and he was riding a war horse, it stands to reason that it is not polite to ride a horse in the imperial capital.

Before those people could speak, Dongfang Lie had already rushed up on horseback, aiming directly at the largest long table in the center of the hall. The black horse was like a beast beneath him, frightening everyone who stood in his way, and the women screamed and the men shouted angrily. Dongfang Lie pulled the reins, and the black horse jumped high and landed firmly on the long table, and the table shook violently without breaking.

Dongfang Lie actually rode a horse and ran on a large table full of plates, wine, and goblet towers!

The two-meter-high goblet tower collapsed in an instant, and the glass slag mixed with wine splashed, and the scene was chaotic. The horse's hooves kicked a silver dinner plate as it ran, and with great force it was sent into the hard wall, where it was embedded in the wall.

"Dongfang Lie! This is the imperial capital! What do you want!! In the chaos, the patriarch regained his composure and rebuked loudly.

The black horse carried Dongfang Lie and jumped off the table, he pulled the reins, the war horse raised its front hooves, and then stopped in front of everyone, Dongfang Lie did not have a trace of expression on his face, and bluntly highlighted two words: "Pay back!" ”

I saw him take out a thick stack of pawn tickets from his arms and throw them on the messy table, "Patriarch, I'm sorry, I set a fire in Valhalla, cremated my mother, I took away the ashes, and I knocked out the retainers in the Imperial Horse Room, as compensation, you can fill in the appropriate numbers on those pawn tickets, anyway, I don't care about the gold and silver, and my father doesn't care even more, just write until you are satisfied." ”
