Chapter Twenty-Three: Green Jade Fingers

In the silent garden, all kinds of flowers compete to show their most charming posture!

Only the sound of rushing water and a few crisp bird chirpings from time to time in the branches, the whole garden was silent!

The Emperor was dressed like a farmer, and he was half-crouched on the ground with a spoon in his hand, his trousers stacked all the way to his calves, and a layer of fresh mud stained his feet!

Drops of sweat slowly dripped down his forehead, and the emperor would occasionally raise his arm to wipe the dense sweat on his forehead, and then devote himself to gardening!

If you don't know that he is the noble emperor, you can't connect him with the person who exists like a god in Fuso! His profundity, his coldness, are hidden under the flowers and plants in the garden!

A dark shadow flashed in the open space three meters away from the Emperor, and he bent down with great respect, quietly waiting for the Emperor to fiddle with his gardening! In this garden of only two people, the emperor is concentrating on tinkering with the flowers and plants, and the man in black is quietly watching like a statue, and every one of them looks so harmonious!

After about ten minutes, the emperor, whose hands were covered in mud, stood up with the scoop in his hand! With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, the camellia at his feet was finally fiddled with by him! In the cold weather of Fuso, it is not easy for camellia flowers to survive! Maybe no one has ever done it, but he did!

The Emperor turned his head and saw Oshimamaru waiting behind him at a glance! He smiled and said, "It turned out to be Oshima Maru!" Come, how about seeing this flower I planted? It took a lot of effort! ”

Oshimamaru looked at the colorful camellia, although its beauty was so moving, but it couldn't calm Oshimamaru's excited heart! He just smiled dryly: "His Majesty the Emperor's craftsmanship is getting better and better now, and he can already reach the level of a master!" ”

The emperor laughed, there was no need to hide such a compliment, this was the back garden of his palace, and it was also newly expanded after he took power in the past two years! Although he is very ambitious, he dreams of dominating the world! But after the storm outside, the only thing that is like a quiet harbor is this garden! This is where his heart is at peace!

The emperor smiled and said to Oshimamaru, "How is it?" What are you looking for me? It's a novelty that you're here, I think it's your first time in the garden, right? I just love to be with your sword! ”

Oshimamaru nodded and said respectfully, "The Oshimamaru family has been a retainer of successive emperors since their ancestors!" The training I follow is to improve my martial arts skills at all times, and one day, I will shed my last drop of blood for His Majesty the Emperor! So the sword didn't dare to drop it! ”

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction: "You are very loyal, just like your father!" That stubborn old man has been secretly guarding my father, and when my father died, he guarded me for a while! Your family is loyalist! ”

Oshimamaru lay on the ground: "To be so praised by His Majesty the Emperor, I thank His Majesty the Emperor for his praise for my ancestors!" ”

Oshimamaru kept knocking his head on the ground, and the blue bricks were banging! The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just complimenting, why bother!" Hurry up! You haven't said what the hell is going on with you? ”

Oshimamaru slowly got up from the ground, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the envoy sent to persuade Sakamura has returned, and he said that Sakamura does not agree to your request!" And ................! ”

"And what?" The emperor's complexion had changed, and his brows were furrowed deeply!

"Moreover, the two killers I sent out were also killed by the other party! The body had already been delivered to the police station an hour ago! Oshimamaru said very carefully, his eyes looking at the emperor's face from time to time!

The emperor's whole face turned a little green, he looked at Oshimamaru fiercely, and said angrily, "Is Sakamura really going against me?" Not only will those who kill me be made public, but will my deeds be made public? He's not my father's subordinate! ”

The emperor looked very terrible under the rage, but Oshimamaru still said cautiously: "There is one more thing, I am afraid it is more difficult to deal with than these two things!" ”

The Emperor stopped being agitated, stared at Oshimamaru with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Is there anything worse than these two things that humiliate me?" You say it all as soon as possible, Sakamura doesn't take me seriously anyway! ”

Oshimamaru swallowed his saliva and said word by word: "Just now my men reported to me, just as Sakamura sent the assassin to the police station, the army outside the city began to move!" 100,000 troops were mobilized at the same time, and the direction of light and heavy weapons was all aimed at the city! The trenches have been reversed, and Sakamura has already turned against the Huaxia with all his troops! ”

With a bang, the water scoop in the Emperor's hand fell to the ground, and it rolled a few times before stopping! The emperor was already pale, and there was not even any hope in sight on his gray face!

Suddenly, Oshimamaru felt like the emperor was getting a lot older! The Emperor pursed his lips and said, "You, you, are you telling the truth?" Sakamura, Sakamura just took his 100,000 people and threw himself into the arms of the Chinese people? ”

Oshimamaru really wanted to make up a reason to comfort and comfort the emperor, but the emperor's face was already difficult to see the worst! But the big war is imminent, and any omission may result in a total loss! Oshimamaru can only nod his head with a heavy head!

The hand was slowly lowered, and the emperor seemed to be depressed a lot! His head was buried deeply, and the sun shone on his back, making him look so small in an instant!

Oshimamaru said with a little heartache: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although Sakamura betrayed us, there are still many generals from all over the country who support you!" They are all generals who were personally sent by you to take office, and even if they repay you, they will do their best! ”

The Emperor slowly raised his head, his eyes were now as gray as his skin, and he was not half angry: "Oshimamaru, you don't understand! If even Sakamura, who was guarding the periphery of D-Kyo, betrayed me, then those guys in other places who saw the wind and made the rudder would definitely take the opportunity to fall to the side of the Huaxia people! Now that the situation is one-sided, how many people can they have to support me? ”

Oshimamaru wanted to comfort the emperor for a few words, but the emperor had already waved his hand to signal him to go out, and he said quietly: "I want to be quiet alone for a while!" You go first, it's okay, what's there, I'll call you! ”

Oshimamaru was helpless, so he had to nod! He didn't go far, just hid behind a tree and quietly watched the emperor! He was afraid that the emperor would not be able to think about it when he encountered such a big setback!

In fact, the emperor at this time really couldn't think about it! He's already made it clear to Nighthawk, and he's ready to send it! He has already made it clear to the Chinese regime that he wants to be the real emperor! At the moment, he is at a complete disadvantage, even if he wants to be an emperor with no real power, I am afraid it is impossible!

More than 20 years of dreams and hard work may be in vain in one day! He now only has 50,000 troops in the D Capital Defense Command, and some troops loyal to his department have been armed, adding up to less than 70,000 people! With just this kind of person, how can he confront the 100,000 army outside the city, and there are three master groups eyeing him on the side!

The generals from other places who were personally picked up by him are estimated to be unreliable, and the support he can rely on is so fragile! The Emperor slowly sat down on the ground, he had never felt so vulnerable!

A pair of small toes stopped in front of him, like snow-white pearls, his bare feet stepped on the gentle stone slab, looking so comfortable!

The emperor's mood was a little better, he barely squeezed out a smile, and slowly raised his head to look at the imperial concubine in plain white clothes: "Why are you here, the ground is cold, you are not in good health, you should wear a pair of shoes!" ”

As he spoke, he got up from the ground and wiped the mud from his pants with both hands! Then he took off his shirt and wrapped all the petite body of the imperial concubine in it!

The imperial concubine smiled slightly and held the emperor's hand tightly: "Actually, my illness is estimated to be incurable!" I usually look like a normal person, but at night, you should know that I am sadder than anyone else! It's really tiring to live like this! ”

The emperor's face gradually darkened, and he was so strong that he had two crystal tears rolling in his eyes! He comforted the imperial concubine and said, "Don't say that, no disease can hit you!" I want you to be by my side for the rest of my life! Since France can't cure you, I'll send you to country Y, the country of rice! The best doctor in the world, I'll find it for you! ”

The Emperor's voice gradually choked up! The imperial concubine smiled and looked at the emperor: "I know your thoughts!" Can I still not know after all these years? But I'm supposed to be a damned person, Matsumoto Ichiro killed my whole family, and I'm the only one left as a lonely ghost! You're the only one willing to take me in! Looks like I should have died that winter, I shouldn't have lived until now! ”

The Emperor is getting more and more miserable! He can lose a qiē, or even a lifelong dream! But for the woman in front of him, he is willing to exchange it for the whole world!

Suddenly, the imperial concubine coughed violently, her face became more and more pale, and a mouthful of blood was coughed out of her mouth by her! She lay weakly in the emperor's arms, and looking at the emperor's nervous appearance, she laughed silently!

Her white jade-like fingers gently slid over the emperor's cheeks, and she said lightly, "It's still like that, just like when we were children!" How nice it would be if you were still that kid who didn't grow up! ”

Tears slowly slid down the emperor's cheeks, and he hugged the woman he loved most in his life tightly! At this moment, there is no longer Wang Tu's hegemony, only tenderness and sweetness!

The imperial concubine smiled and wiped away the tears on her cheeks for the emperor, and she whispered into the emperor's ear: "I owe you in this life!" There's nothing to give you back, but before I go, I'll help you fulfill your lifelong dream! ”
