A good horse knows the way. Although Zhu Youzhen was aimlessly rushing south, the jujube red horse seemed to have a heart, and after a few days of trekking, he actually brought Zhu Youzhen back to the Khalkha grassland and Li Chongyao's sweaty BMW.

As the weather gradually warmed up, it had only been a few days, and the body of the sweaty BMW had begun to decompose, revealing the white bones inside.

How Zhu Youzhen hopes that Li Chongyao will just leave temporarily and will come back after all! He looked around without giving up, but in addition to the fierce wind of the call sign and the dust gradually rising in the sky, where was there any trace of Li Chongyao?

"Chongyao, where have you been? Did you go to heaven? Zhu Youzhen's eyes were blurred with tears, and he muttered to himself, "It must be very cold in the sky, if you can't stand it, just cross like me!" Travel back to the 21st century, and you will be very happy in that era! ”

He knelt in front of the body of the sweaty BMW so stupidly, gradually unable to hear the wind whistling in his ears, and his heart seemed to follow Li Chongyao's ethereal soul, not knowing where to fly!

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, but Zhu Youzhen didn't even raise his head. Is it Mongolian? Is it a Jurchen? Was it a killer sent by Wei Zhongxian? Come on, he has no fear at all at this time, he just wants to fight with the other party happily, either kill the opponent or be killed by the opponent!

"Lord Wang!" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears!

"Chongyao!" Zhu Youzhen was terrified and looked up suddenly. I saw that under the dazzling sun, a heroic woman was sitting upright on a horse, a little shy, but looking at herself affectionately!

"Chongyao! You're really back! Zhu Youzhen pounced like crazy and hugged the woman tightly in his arms!

"Lord Wang! What's wrong with you, don't you even know your concubines? The concubine is Rui'er! But the woman exclaimed!

"Rui'er? How are you? Is it really you? Zhu Youzhen rubbed his eyes blurred by tears, and looked at it, sure enough, it was his wife, Princess Rui'er, who had been separated for several months!

"It's me, my lord! I'm your stale! Rui'er also said with tears in her eyes, "Lord, I haven't seen you for many days, you have suffered!" ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't hold back his excitement at this moment, and finally frantically picked up Rui'er's pretty face, kissed her fiercely, and then hugged her tightly into his arms, and the two of them immediately cried!

After a long time, the two gradually stopped their grief. Zhu Youzhen gave Rui'er a wolf kiss unwillingly, and the kiss made Rui'er gradually suffocate!

Rui'er finally broke free from Zhu Youzhen's clutches, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang! You still have poison in you, how can you be so forgetful! ”

"Alright, I'm all right!" Zhu Youzhen said wildly, "I've been married for so long, I've been letting you stay alive and widowed, it's really not interesting!" Now I want you to be my woman! ”

So saying, he reached for the buttons of Rui'er's clothes. Rui'er was shocked, her hand was like lightning, and she slapped Zhu Youzhen away with her palm, but she said infinitely delicately: "Lord Wang! It's in the wild! ”

"What's wrong in the wild, there's no one else here!" Zhu Youzhen still refuses to give up.

"Can you tell Rui'er how good your poison is?" Rui'er shyly protected her crisp breasts, almost giving up her last resistance.

But when Zhu Youzhen heard this, he suddenly stopped, stayed for a long time, and burst into tears.

After that, Zhu Youzhen told Rui'er about the previous situation. Rui'er listened carefully, and couldn't stop crying silently, and finally held Zhu Youzhen's hands tightly and said: "Lord Wang, Chongyao is a good girl and my good sister, but it's a pity that I didn't bless her!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was still heartbroken, Rui'er hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Wang, the deceased is long gone, and Sister Chongyao's spirit in the sky doesn't want the prince to be so sad!" Her horse is still here, I think it's better to let it be buried in the ground first, and it should be my sister's well-dressed grave! ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded stupidly, and was about to dig the pit with his hands. Rui'er hurriedly helped him up, but pulled out the long sword she carried with her, and used the sword as a shovel, and in a short time dug a deep hole in the soft earth.

Together, the two pushed the body of the bloody BMW into the pit, buried it with earth, and finally built a small tomb on it. However, there were neither stones nor wooden boards here, so there was no way to erect a monument, so Zhu Youzhen found the short halberd left by Li Chongyao and inserted it vigorously on the grave.

After cleaning up, Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed a few times. Zhu Youzhen didn't get up, but kept kneeling, staring blankly at the tip of the halberd. Rui'er knew the pain in his heart at this time, and she didn't dare to persuade him, so she had to accompany him silently.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Youzhen suddenly said: "I want to be the emperor." ”

"What?" Rui'er thought there was something wrong with her ears.

"I want to be the emperor!" Zhu Youzhen repeated loudly again.

"Lord Wang, are you crazy?" Rui'er's face turned pale with fright, and she shook Zhu Youzhen's shoulder desperately and said, "How dare you say such a big rebellion?" Fortunately, there are no others here, if you are listened to by Jinyiwei or Dongchang Fanzi, you..."

Zhu Youzhen clenched Rui'er's hands and said firmly: "Rui'er, I'm not crazy, I really want to be the emperor, and it is certainly, definitely, must be the emperor!" ”

"You want to usurp the throne? Rui'er said in horror.

"Don't worry, I won't usurp the throne, but I will definitely be the emperor!" Zhu Youzhen finally smiled and said, "You won't understand it, in short, you just need to believe your husband!" ”

"But... But my lord, why did you suddenly think of becoming an emperor? Rui'er asked timidly.

Zhu Youzhen sighed angrily and did not answer Rui'er's question.

In fact, since he traveled here, because he knew the fate of Chongzhen in history, he didn't want to be an emperor at all; Not only did he not want to be the emperor, he didn't even want to be the prince, he just wanted to escape from the deep palace, hide in a place where no one could find him, and live the rest of his life comfortably.

But when he gradually went deeper into this era, had inextricable connections with more and more people, and had more and more feelings that could not be separated, he gradually realized that he was already a person who belonged to this era, and it was impossible to jump out of the circle, nor could he be alone!

Especially since leaving the palace, Zhu Youzhen has found that in China in this era, the disaster is too deep, the people are too hard, and even the most basic right to survival cannot be guaranteed! In the face of alien invasion and the destruction of human lives, the Chinese nation has really reached the most critical time!

Is this all fate? Zhu Youzhen has traveled from modern times, and he does not believe in fate from the bones. And he has come into contact with many people in the past few months, among them, of course, there are inactive emperors like Tianqi, traitors like Wei Zhongxian, people like Xu Xianchun, and mediocre officials like Yan Mingtai; There are also the fierce and vicious Nurhachi, the snake-scorpion-hearted Mongolian Taiji...

But at the same time, he also got to know Empress Zhang, who insisted on fighting against Wei Zhongxian in order to protect the Ming Dynasty, the six gentlemen of Donglin who did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to uphold morality, Wang Zaijin, who worked hard for the war situation in Liaodong, and Qi Meifeng, Man Gui, and Li Chongyao who fought bravely to protect themselves! and thousands of loyal souls of the Ming Dynasty who don't know their names, but have been sleeping on the battlefield!

If it is said that the number of great Ming qi has been exhausted, why are there so many righteous, loyal and capable people? If history can't be changed, why can he save the six gentlemen of Donglin, lift the siege of Ningyuan, and even break away from the track of history, from King Ning, King Xin to King Qin, to a completely strange world?

Can all of this be explained by the word "fate"?

And the only way to challenge fate, reverse fate, and even completely subvert fate is to become an emperor!

Only when he becomes emperor can he have enough resources; Only when he becomes an emperor can he have the ability to protect his beloved; Only when he became emperor could he defend himself against the iron hooves of the alien race; Only when he becomes the emperor can he save the Ming Dynasty, save history, and save the Chinese nation!

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen finally figured it out. He will never hide from that unpredictable fate again, and there is only one choice left: to do everything possible to become emperor!

…

Rui'er saw Zhu Youzhen contemplating and didn't dare to disturb. It wasn't until Zhu Youzhen raised his head with blazing eyes, and his eyes radiated a scorching light, that he said to him softly: "Rui'er is already the prince's wife, no matter what the prince makes, Rui'er will support you!" But right now we're still outside the plug, lord, what do you think we're going to do next? ”

"Of course, I'm going to Xi'an!" Zhu Youzhen said loudly, "I can't openly disobey the holy decree now, because I don't have the qualifications and capital yet!" Rui'er, let's go! ”

Rui'er hurriedly reminded Zhu Youzhen: "This halberd is a relic of Chongyao's sister, you should take it with you." Sister Chongyao didn't get the name she deserved, and when you see this halberd in the future, you can also see things and think about people! ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart trembled again, and he wordlessly pulled out the iron halberd, stroked the halberd rod, and imagined Li Chongyao's heroic posture holding the halberd.

"Lord Wang, Rui'er thought of a question!" Rui'er said suddenly, "You just said that you saw Chongyao's sister's head outside the Mongol camp, but the distance should have been very far at that time, right?" It's so far away, are you sure you can see it clearly? Is that really Chongyao's sister? ”

"Ahh Zhu Youzhen suddenly shouted, "I'm confused! The long hair of that head was scattered, and I didn't even see the face, in fact, I couldn't confirm that it was Chongyao at all! It's just that I was already scared and confused..."

"In that case, we should put away this iron halberd!" Rui'er said to Zhu You warmly, "If the sky has eyes and let Chongyao's sister not die, Rui'er believes that the prince and his sister will always meet again!" This iron halberd bears witness to your meeting and parting, but it also bears witness to your marriage and your children! …”

"Don't talk so much, go find it!" Zhu Youzhen was shaken by Rui'er's words, turned over on the horse, pinched the horse's belly fiercely, and rushed forward like an arrow.

"Alas! It's still such a monkey temper! Rui'er sighed in her heart, and rode her horse happily to follow.

The red sun rises on the grassland, heralding another sunny day. Under the warm sun, a young man and woman galloped into the unknown distance.
