"Stop, that's enough." Liu Xuan said loudly, and the wound on his palm cracked again, and it expanded a few points, and blood flowed out. The part of the halberd in his hand has been dyed red, and the blood is cold, which makes the halberd rod return to that cold temperature, even if the palm of the hand is clenched, the body temperature can no longer warm a point.

"Click, click." Drops of blood were overwhelmed, dripping and falling, looking strange and translucent in mid-air. A little bit of blood that fell heavily on the gravel turned into a blooming blood-colored flower, and as the blood fell more and more, more and more blood flowers bloomed, and the "petals" of each one were different, but the brilliant bloom was exactly the same.

"Okay." Xuanji agreed and pulled out the long knife.

He really didn't want to make another move, at least when he didn't make another breakthrough, unless they really wanted to die together, there was no point in such a fight. As for what Xuanji wanted to get, he had already gotten it, and these few attacks without sparing any hands made him feel refreshed from the inside out!

His eyes moved to Liu Xuan's palm, Xuanji shook his head gently, in fact, his palm was also like Liu Xuan's palm, and a wound broke out in those few collisions. It's just that the difference is that when his blood flows out of the wound, it is frozen by the cold air emitted by the long knife in his hand, and even the wound is frozen, so there is no excess blood spilled out.

Turning around decisively, Xuanji was ready to go to her place in the palace and squint for a while. "Gone."

"Yes." Liu Xuan nodded lightly, Xuanji's crisp decisiveness was not within his scope at all, of course, like a battle maniac like Xuanji, as long as he "fed" him in battle, there would not be too many problems.

"Have a good rest, there will be no less battles in the future, and there are even some that may make you very "enjoyable". The tone was accentuated on the word enjoyable, and Liu Xuan continued.

"Got it." Xuanji's pace paused imperceptibly, and then walked into the distance.

Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Xuan turned around and walked towards his subordinates, he said that these were enough, and what he saw in a few days would definitely be a heavily armed Xuanji, and he had no doubt about the new point.

"Commander, are you alright?" A soldier of the Yulin Army leaned forward and asked worriedly.

"It's fine."

"In the past few days, tell my brothers not to slack off, not to make any mistakes, especially those who should not appear at the wrong time, you can all be killed, and I will deal with other problems." Dragging the halberd, as he walked, Liu Xuan said.

Now there are treacherous ripples in the palace, at least no matter whether it is Queen He or Empress Dowager Dong, it is impossible to reconcile the contradictions between these two women. Whether it is the prince's debate or the prince's association, they are undoubtedly their own hearts and minds, and they are all thorns in their eyes. The only thing that can decide everything now is Emperor Han Ling, but Emperor Han Ling is still in a coma and can't decide anything, which is the key reason why the undercurrent is turbulent now.

Women, or many times they seem to be very weak, but at some point, they are fierce enough to be feared. After all, if according to history, it was the prince who was not favored by Emperor Ling of Han to ascend the throne as the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Dong was suppressed and returned to her hometown, but died of illness on the road.

Died? Like, there are too many accidents and coincidences in this world, and of course most of them are man-made. If it weren't for the halfway kill of Dong Zhuo, with the existence of Empress He, Liu Wei's throne would be very stable.

As the commander of the Yulin Army, Liu Xuan only needs to be responsible for the emperor alone, and he only wants to protect the current Emperor Han Ling and the palace. As for who became the emperor in the end, he didn't care, and waited until the emperor appeared.

Stopped, Liu Xuan handed the halberd to the other hand. He raised his right hand, palm to his eye, flesh and blood in the palm of his hand.

"For the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest." He smiled. Since it is a game, Liu Xuan doesn't want to change what he has always thought, since he is the commander of the Yulin Army, either he takes the Yulin Army to spread his wings and soar again, or he will disappear with it, that's all.

Back off? Abandon? He never thought about it, because this is a game, and in the game, he naturally has to do what he wants, follow his heart, and don't have to care about too many irrelevant things.

Turning his head consciously, Liu Xuan saw the princes of the Beacon Opera above the palace at a glance, he nodded lightly, and turned back to continue his own journey.

The princes of the Beacon Opera are a fool in his eyes, and of course he is almost a fool in their eyes, and it is precisely because he is a fool that there is such an alliance now. For the sake of all that they are guarding, no matter what, they will not take half a step back, even if they are broken.

Outside the palace, a touch of Chang'an City, a mansion covering a vast area, the plaque on the gate is written with a big character on the Donghou Mansion. At the gate, there were fifteen soldiers standing on both sides of the steps under the gate.

Dong Hou is Liu Xie, this is Liu Xie's mansion in Chang'an City. As early as when Liu Xie's biological mother was poisoned by Empress He, Liu Xie was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, which is why Dong Hou is now the origin. According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, many princes were crowned kings after reaching adulthood, and then went to fiefdoms. Liu Xie is still underage, but he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he was loved by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and Empress Dowager Dong, so he had his own mansion in Luoyang City.

As for why he moved out of the palace? Of course, it was because of Empress He, in the case of not establishing the crown prince for a long time, Liu Xie had become a thorn in the side of Empress He, and there would be many dangers if she stayed in the palace, so she moved out of the palace.

Dong Hou's Mansion is located outside the palace, far away from Queen He, no matter how long Queen He's hand is, she can't act according to her own heart outside the palace. In Luoyang City, it is very close to the palace, and it only takes ten minutes to get on the carriage at most, so it is almost the same as in the palace.

Of course, now, what makes Dong Hou's Mansion look different from usual is that there are a lot more guards at the gate of the Hou Mansion. These soldiers are all elite soldiers drawn from the West Garden, and all of them are descendants of Jian Shuo, and they only obey orders and Jian Shuo alone. Appearing here now undoubtedly shows Jian Shuo's attitude and position, of course, people who think more deeply will also see the position of Emperor Han Ling.

Jian Shuo is the head of the captain of Xiyuan Zhu, and he is also the person used by Emperor Han Ling to restrain the general He Jin in Luoyang City, and of course he is the most trusted person of Emperor Han Ling. Now the most trusted person is paying so much attention to Liu Xie, and unconsciously, it seems to be revealing Liu Xie's status.

In the Dong Hou Mansion, Liu Xie, who was only eight years old, was pacing in the back garden, his eyebrows furrowed slightly on his immature face, as if he was thinking about something. It's rare to see this kind of expression on the face of a child of this age, so serious, that people can notice him at a glance and never take their eyes off it.

On both sides of Liu Xie's back, four maids stood aside, even if they saw such an adult Liu Xie, no one showed a strange expression on their faces. They are all palace maids in the palace, and they were sent to serve Liu Xie's side, as palace maids, they have long been accustomed to seeing nothing that is not strange, not to mention that in front of them there is still a prince Xie who may win the throne in the rumors, no matter what extraordinary things appear, it has become much more ordinary.

Liu Xie was thinking, the thoughts in his head were reflected on his face, he was a little worried, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time. The choice that let him choose, whether it is or not, is too difficult for him to decide, not to mention that Liu Xie does not think that he can succeed.

That one... Women are the nightmares that have appeared in countless nightmares in his soul. At the beginning in the palace, Liu Xie's greatest fear was to see that woman, every time he saw it, the other party's casual glance made him frightened and afraid, and his body couldn't stop trembling.

That woman... It is Queen He, who is also the most noble woman in the world, and the enemy who killed his mother! Of course, Liu Xie knew that if he could, the other party would not hesitate to kill himself.

It's intuition, his intuition, the intuition that doesn't need to think, and that's where his fear comes from. No matter how much his father spoils him, no matter how much his grandmother takes care of him, he can't feel safe. Just because at the beginning, at the beginning, his mother would definitely not receive less attention than himself, but she was still poisoned. The latter, on the other hand, were unscathed, and some were only admonitions that were not heavy.

That woman...

Liu Xie took a deep breath, and the cold air inhaled into his body, making him feel cold even more. No matter how warm he is dressed now, as long as he thinks of that person, he will still feel the cold, the cold that soaks into the bone marrow.

That woman is what he calls Queen He, and it's just in his heart. Liu Xie never said it, because as long as there was a little, a little bit of it, and it fell into the other party's ears, he would definitely not be able to get a good one.

To protect himself, Liu Xie's first thing to learn is to start by managing his own mouth and managing his likes and dislikes.

His face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he slowly regained his composure, Liu Xie stopped and looked ahead. During his years in the palace, he learned to hide himself, to hide his true heart, whether it was hatred or disgust or anything else. The only thing he let that woman see was his own fear and respect, and only in this way would he not let her pay attention to him.

It seems that since he knew that his mother was poisoned by that woman, Liu Xie has not been happy for a day, even if it is a few times, it is only a short moment. How could he be happy? How can it be? Whether it's for the death of his mother or for himself, he can't be happy.

The shadow of that woman, which has never dissipated, has not been at all. From the palace to the current Dong Hou Mansion, as long as he is still in Luoyang City, the shadow will envelop him all the time. As for talking about Luoyang City? Liu Xie didn't think that not only would he stay away from the power to protect himself, but at the same time, Liu Xie was also unwilling, his hatred would not allow him to leave!

Closing his eyes, even with his back to the maids, Liu Xie was still extremely cautious. The angry flame in his eyes, he doesn't want to be seen by anyone, he can only perceive it for himself, he wants to hide, hide himself.

Living in the palace since he was a child, even if he was sheltered under the wing of the imperial grandmother, he also saw a lot of deceit. Not to mention that in the harem, there are many dumps, which have left a mark on his soul.

Just like the four maids behind him now, it seems as if they are one with him, one is prosperous and the other is lost, but he doesn't know if there are other people's eyeliner in this. His every move, perhaps without knowing it, was clear in the eyes of others.

Then, the palms of Liu Xie's hands clenched tightly and became fists. He was very hard, trimmed very short, and his neat nails sank into the flesh of his palm, and he could feel the pain, which made him firm in his thoughts. Only pain, constant reminders, did he understand what he had to do and what to remember.

He had already decided that he would give it a try no matter what, but he had to be secretive, at least to the point that only the few people he cooperated with knew about it. He must hide himself and hide in the depths, otherwise once he fails, what awaits him, don't think about it, Liu Xie can also know now.

Power? The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he opened his eyes again, Liu Xie's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of the existence of flames. Now, if someone stands on the opposite side, he will also think that Liu Xie is a lovely child, and he can't detect the gloom in his heart at all.

Ah, power. Liu Xie seems to have understood a truth, power, only if he has the supreme power, can he have a way to face that woman, right? Kill her, completely erase the traces, erase from your own life, completely erase from your memory!

"Star Rose. Please Mr. Wu to come. Liu Xie said loudly.

He has already decided, and some opportunities are in front of him to seize, not to mention, even if he decides, he will plan carefully again after this before making a final decision. Because he has no way out, as long as his father dies, then Liu Xie knows that a shield in front of him that firmly protects him will be completely shattered. As for the imperial grandmother, there is no way to fight against that vicious woman, so she can only save herself, help herself, and find a way to live by herself!

There is only one way in front of him!
