Imperial Capital Chihong City

There are a lot of diners in Fushun's elbow, including many children of high-ranking officials or nobles, they are all people who spend a lot of money, but it is said that Fushun's elbow shop is not a high-grade tavern, most of these noble children come here to drink and eat for Wang Fushun's reputation, because almost everyone in Chihong City knows that the shopkeeper Wang Fushun has a good relationship with Dongfang Ziyan, the pride of the human race, and his family's secret elbow is indeed very good, and it was famous in the early years.

Nowadays, Fushun Elbow has contracted several nearby stores to expand the storefront, and now Fushun Elbow is a veritable big hotel.

In the store, Wang Fushun was settling accounts at the counter, Dongfang Ziyan walked out of the back door, wearing a brand-new white robe, he had a lot of medical bandages on his body, and there were medical stickers left after the wound was stitched on his face, and his face was haggard. He looked at the lively scene in the store and walked to the counter, Wang Fushun saw that it was him who came over, and shouted, "Why did you go downstairs, the doctor said, you need to rest." ”

"I'm fine." Dongfang Ziyan couldn't make too many expressions because he was afraid that the wound would crack because he had a wound on his face, so he could only make a expressionless expression, he sat down on the seat in the counter, "Lao Wang, what about the person who brought me here?" ”

"You mean the one who sent you here is a tall man? Black hair, looking quite cold, according to him, it was you who was semi-conscious and asked him to send you to me first, and he left after putting you down, and he didn't say where to go. Wang Fushun whispered, then he took out a black knife from the inner cabinet and handed it to Ziyan's hand, "This is your knife." ”

"Oh, thanks."

As soon as he said this, Dongfang Ziyan naturally knew that the person was Lucifer, he was in a semi-comatose state but his consciousness was not blurred, and then asked, "It's okay not to talk about this first, Lao Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm bothering you this time." ”

"Isn't it polite to say that?" Wang Fushun patted him on the shoulder, it didn't matter if he patted him lightly, Dongfang Ziyan, who was directly patting, gasped.

"What's the matter? Shouldn't you have an injury on your shoulder? Lao Wang hurriedly asked.

Dongfang Ziyan covered his right shoulder, broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I am seriously injured here for the second time, I can't see it from the surface, the first time was when I was cut by Lugulus when I was a child, and the second time was ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, and then changed the subject, "That...... Lao Wang, I'll go out for a walk first, you can be busy. ”

"Are you alright?" Wang Fushun asked.

Dongfang Ziyan waved his hand and went straight out. After going out, he thought about going to Lucifer, because in his heart, although he had already formed an alliance with Lucifer, he actually had a little guard against Lucifer in his heart, because this man was too mysterious, and even people like Rhein Gruss who were familiar with him only knew half of him, Dongfang Ziyan believed that the secrets on Lucifer's body were no less than those of Luo Yuen.

But as soon as he had taken two steps down the street, he decided not to go to Lucifer, and he looked at the people coming and going, and the morning sun was shining down, and he felt warm all over, and suddenly, he wanted to see someone, so he walked in the direction of the imperial city.

Walking straight along the broad avenue, you can go all the way to the imperial city of Chihong, because his face is almost covered with bandages and band-aids, so he is not afraid of others recognizing him, he slowly walked, while looking at this century-old road, recalling the time of the alliance holy war, he fought here, when Chihong City was almost reduced to a dead city, and this road was also stained red with blood. But now it has long been restored to the same as before, as always harmonious and peaceful, although the chaos of heaven and earth has not yet subsided, but he suddenly has a strong sense of yearning for peace from the bottom of his heart.

Unconsciously, he was already approaching the gate of the inner city, and the Yulin guard guarding the city stopped him, and saw that he was holding a weapon in his hand, and he was covered in wounds, afraid of some kind of villain, he immediately aimed the weapon in his hand at Dongfang Ziyan, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you know that this is the imperial city, and idlers are not allowed to enter." ”

"Brother Yu Linwei, I'm here to see the big secretary, please let me know." Dongfang Ziyan said respectfully.

"I'm sorry, the big secretary has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't have time to see people." The Yulin guard said proudly, and then said, "Your Excellency can leave your name, and I will go and report it, and get permission from above, and then inform you." ”

"Thank you, thank you." Dongfang Ziyan bowed again, "In the lower Dongfang Ziyan, I have come to visit the monarchs of the alliance." ”

"Dongfang Ziyan?" Yu Linwei was stunned for a moment, he rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it, Yu Linwei, who was standing guard next to him, looked over and whispered in a low voice. That Yu Linwei looked at it carefully for a while before clapping his hands and shouting, "Dear mother, it's really Lord Ziyan!" ”

Suddenly, Yu Linwei exploded, they all surrounded him, surrounded Dongfang Ziyan, and asked nonsense, making him at a loss, and finally Dongfang Ziyan escaped from the entanglement of those Yu Linwei, and fled frantically towards the way he came. It was only after running two blocks that he stopped.

Originally, he wanted to go into the Imperial City to go to the alliance headquarters to see everyone, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was treated like this, which made him unbearable, and he thought about going to the Slayer Alliance now, maybe what kind of trouble would happen, and he hadn't come back for a long time, and a short-tempered person like Aurora might not welcome him or give him a look, so he gave up, just wanted to go out from the south gate along the secluded road, and then go around to the Houshan Cemetery to see Yan Wei.

No sooner had he stepped out of the alley than behind a pile of bricks placed in the corner of the wall behind him, a dark shadow flashed out, glancing in the direction he had left, a little chill in his sleeve.

Chihong City used to be a city-state, that is, a number of cities united to rise from the scattered settlement city, there was no fixed defensive wall at all, until Emperor Xuan II Hongjun Ming succeeded to the throne to be able to build the current "hundred miles of city wall", it is actually the magnificent building of Chihong City. On the way, Dongfang Ziyan bought a bag of Kanto candy, which was the sesame candy he used to eat when he was a child, and ate it while walking, and walked along the winding outer city road towards the south city gate.

When passing through an alley, two children who were chasing and running ran towards him, and the child behind him ran too fast and almost tripped over a stone, but fortunately he was quickly held by Dongfang Ziyan.

"Thank you, brother." The child said to Ziyan obediently.

"Be careful, be careful when you play in the future." Dongfang Ziyan squatted on the ground, touched the child's head melon with a smile, and then gave him the Kanto candy, the child nodded happily, and then ran away with the Kanto candy.

Dongfang Ziyan was just about to stand up, when he heard a voice from the alley behind him, "The child nowadays is really too vigilant, and he even dares to eat whatever strangers give him." ”

"It's normal for children to be young and ignorant." Dongfang Ziyan turned his back to the black shadow behind him and said slowly.

The man came out of the darkness and whispered, "Where are you going?" ”

"To see an old friend, what about you?" Dongfang Ziyan sat on a bluestone slab at the entrance of the alley, said softly, and patted the seat next to him with his hand, signaling for someone to sit down.

"I'm looking for you." It turned out that it was Che Ling who had been following Dongfang Ziyan, and he walked to Ziyan and sat down.

"You're going to the cemetery." Che Ling's face has aged a lot.

"Well, I'm going to go to Yan Wei to have a look and help pull the weeds from his grave." Dongfang Ziyan said quietly, his eyes staring directly at the stone brick ground in front of him.

"We haven't seen each other in a few years." Che Ling said silently.

"It's been about two and a half years, Yan Wei was ...... two and a half years ago" Dongfang Ziyan suddenly felt his heart like a knife, and then his eyes became lost.

"Yes, in the past two and a half years, Yu Fei has gone to Yan Wei's grave almost every month to worship and pull out the weeds on the grave, you know." Che Ling asked lightly.

Dongfang Ziyan looked at Che Ling and was suddenly stunned.

"Yu Fei is a very stubborn girl, what she recognizes, eight horses can't pull back, last year, the eldest son of Prince Jing Wangfu also came to me to propose marriage with the big priest, but that girl just didn't obey, and almost turned her face with me," Che Ling patted him on the shoulder, "She has been waiting for you." ”

"She's a good girl." Dongfang Ziyan said softly.

"Will you marry her, then?" The Five Saints Che Ling asked.

"Marry her?" Dongfang Ziyan said lightly, "Now that the war has not subsided, and my great cause is undecided, how can I easily talk about the love of children." ”

"That's right, then I'll ask you again," Che Ling said again, "do you like Yufei?" ”

"Like, then ......" Dongfang Ziyan replied very simply, but he didn't finish speaking, the communication jade on Che Ling's body made a sound, he took out the communication jade, it turned out that the people from the headquarters were looking for him, it seemed that there was a meeting to be held, he was busy contacting people, and then got up and told Dongfang Ziyan that he was going back, he answered, and then just sat in a daze.

"You really ...... Have you been waiting for me? Dongfang Ziyan said silently.

He suddenly remembered what he said to Yu Fei when he was on Black Beauty Island in the South China Sea, and what happened when he gave her his mother's relic, the Seven Star Liucan Knife, he did like Yu Fei at that time, but he did not put Yan Wei down, but now that Yan Wei is gone, he is estranged from Yu Fei, think about it carefully, since Yan Wei died, his life has been a mess, and he has no time to find Yu Fei.

Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and then decided to go to the cemetery first.

The south gate of Chihong City is also called the White Horse Gate, it is the gate of Sanli, the middle door is the main gate, but it will not be opened, only the right side door will be opened on weekdays, and there is a hundred people Yulin Guard guard, Dongfang Ziyan went out from the right side of the door, walked along the mainland around the hundred miles of city wall, and I don't know how long he walked, and when he walked outside the cemetery, it was already afternoon.

The cemetery is built by leaning on the south foot of the back mountain, divided into three categories, covering a vast area, the royal tomb is the imperial tomb, there is a forbidden place, there is a special enchantment protection, the idler is exempt from entering the forbidden land, and the general cemetery is to enter and worship at will, but there are also tomb keepers who take care of it, but generally in addition to the birth of the zodiac and the year-end sacrifice, few people come to the cemetery to worship, because the human race does not advocate sacrifice, if it is the nobles who remember the ancestors, they will generally go to the Valhalla in the imperial city, and rarely come here to worship.

Dongfang Ziyan came to the outside of the General Cemetery, the old man guarding the tomb was walking outside the garden, and when he saw Dongfang Ziyan coming over, he hurriedly asked, "Gongzi walks slowly, dare to ask which general you want to worship?" ”

"Old man, I'm here to visit an old man, his name is Yan Wei, please tell me where his grave is." Dongfang Ziyan said with a polite bow.

"Yan Wei?" The old man thought thoughtfully, and then said, "The old man has been guarding the tomb here for more than fifty years, and I have never heard of a prince and general surnamed Yan sleeping here." ”

"Oh yes, she was buried in the name of the Alliance, and she was twenty years old when she died." Dongfang Ziyan said again.

The old man thought for a moment, then went into the house to find the roster and rummaged through it, and suddenly said, "You are talking about the queen daughter of Detius, Yuli'er!" ”

Dongfang Ziyan was a little sad, he forgot that Yan Wei had her own name, Yu Li'er, Yu Li'er of the Detias Yu family, the princess of Detias, Yan Wei was just her alias, even after death, she couldn't use the name she wanted, and then Ziyan stabilized her mind, and then said, "Yes, it's her." ”

"After you enter the garden, go straight for about thirty steps, see the cloud dragon pattern wall and turn left again, and the third monument is hers." The old man said.

"Thank you." Dongfang Ziyan arched his hand and said.

"Yes," said the old man again.

"What else?" Dongfang Ziyan turned around and asked.

"Just now, a girl has already gone in, also to worship the princess of Detheas." The old man said.

Dongfang Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and went in, he already knew who the person who went was.

In front of Yan Wei's tomb, there was a bouquet of fresh lilies, and Yu Fei, who was wearing a black killer suit, covered her face with a black scarf, and was standing in front of Yan Wei's tomb, not saying anything, just watching quietly.

"Hey." Dongfang Ziyan walked not far from Yu Fei and called softly.

Yu Fei turned her head and saw Dongfang Ziyan standing beside her, her eyes already blurred.

"I ...... It's back. Dongfang Ziyan said softly.

Yu Fei's eyes were red from crying, but she didn't cry out loud, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, Dongfang Ziyan walked over and hugged her in his arms, touching her hair, "In the past two years, I've worked hard for you." ”

Finally, Yu Fei's tears burst out like a flood that had burst the embankment, Dongfang Ziyan sighed softly, Yu Fei lay on his shoulder, still unable to say anything.

"What are you doing back?" Yu Fei asked as he stepped away from his shoulder, and immediately changed his face.

Dongfang Ziyan looked at Yan Wei's tomb, and then looked at him, "Come and see Yan Wei, and come to see you." ”

Without waiting for Yu Fei to speak again, Dongfang Ziyan said again, "I have already lost two very important people, I don't want to lose you anymore, from now on, I will not let you leave." ”
