The coachman hurried to meet the man, and I got out of the car.

"City Lord, people have brought it." The coachman took the money from him and drove into the city. When the snow fell, I stood there and looked at him coldly. He walked up to me with a smile and held up a red oil-paper umbrella to keep the snow out of me......

"Heng Gongzi knows that I came back alive, is he here to curry favor with me, is he afraid that I will retaliate against you?" I said indifferently.

He smiled unhurriedly: "Where to speak." I knew you would come back, but you forgot, when I sent you away, I agreed to wait for you to come back, in Zhaoqing City. ”

He used to be the best person to me, I was a beast dead, but the seven emotions and six desires have not been washed, I have never completely become a beast, so I am struggling in the cage, suffering, and it is precisely because I still have seven emotions and six desires that I will be selected by Heng Gongzi and go to Jiangnan. Five years ago, the king of Northern Chu had been to Shibao, and he loved Heng Gongzi very much, and he wanted to find a stand-in for his favorite son in case of emergency...... And I was taken by him at a glance....... After that, Heng Gongzi was curious about what kind of person his father had chosen for him, so he often came to the stone castle to see me, and often took me out to see the fireworks in the world...... Because of his identity, Bai Yu did not stop him many times.......

It was he who taught me and gave me a possibility, the possibility of living openly...... But I'm going back to the Stone Castle eventually...... I never dare to remember his kindness to me, because I know that these are fleeting things, and I will eventually go back to the cage, and remembering some warmth and beauty will only make myself more miserable in the cage.......

"What do you think?" He gently reminded me and pulled me out of the mire of memory...... When I looked up, the long street was bright, the lights were like rainbows, and the crowds were surging, people were laughing, crying, eager, and indifferent...... are carefully enjoying the fireworks in this world......

He put away his umbrella, for the warmth of the city had melted the snow and turned into a light mist mixed with the heat of the city, which was illuminated by the bright lanterns overhead...... I saw one glowing worm after another, and they flew into the lantern, and the light of the lantern became brighter......

When Heng Gongzi saw that I was curious about the little worm, he patiently said to me, "That's a firefly, I raised it." The lanterns in the city are hung high, and when it gets dark, fireflies fly into the lanterns and light them up. ”

"Then the light in front of us is made of fireflies burned with flesh and blood?" I looked up at the lantern and asked coldly.

"Yes." He smiled, just not as comfortable.

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew down two lanterns in the city, and the lanterns rolled to my feet and went out......

He took my hand and stepped over the lantern to move on...... I broke free of his hand: "I'm covered in blood, I don't dare to dirty Heng Gongzi." ”

"There is no Master Heng for a long time, I am the Lord of Zhaoqing City." He looked at me with a smile and said.

"The person who died in Tianxiang is Heng Gongzi or Thirteen Gongzi? Can the 300,000 army return to Jiangbei? "I was holding back a lot of energy and indignation.

His smile slowly receded, and he said to me seriously: "The thirteen princes went to die alone for the great plan of the country, in exchange for the return of 300,000 troops to Jiangbei, which is indispensable." His death, his grace, the people of Jiangbei will always remember. ”

"Why did you lie to me? Obviously there is no thirteen sons, why are you lying to me! Your kindness to me is fake, isn't it? All the good is just so that one day I can die for you, right? I questioned him, but my heart twisted, I couldn't fool myself, I did think of him as a lean, I fantasized that I had a life outside the cage...... I wanted to hand over my trust, but I was greeted by someone else's ulterior motives......

He didn't defend himself, but took me by the hand and led me into the depths of the long street, where he bought me candy and colorful flower balls, just like before....... I can't be moved by the sweetness and color in my gloomy life....... I never got it, so I took it all as a gift...... He still smiled softly at me, he was the light that let me out of the darkness for a short time, if I had been in the dark, never seen the light and warmth, I would not have the weakness and hesitation I have today, so greedy for his goodness, and even shaking the bottom line......

He took me by the hand, and I let him hold it, and along the way, I kept watching the fireflies, the lanterns, and the people coming and going...... I noticed the anomaly, among those people, there were demons and beasts mixed in, but I don't know why, they were all like each other, and they didn't notice the anomaly......

I was holding a box of candy, he was holding a bouquet of flower balls, and he led me to his mansion......

At the end of the city is his magnificent mansion, like a small royal palace...... The Zhu Gate was opened heavily, and the black-armored man guarding the door saluted respectfully, and he led me over the high threshold, the empty courtyard, and the old bronze pillars set up on both sides of the aisle, on each of which hung a string of red lanterns.......

His mansion was empty, heavy, cold, and not at all like his gentle smile.

Before I stepped into his palace, three maidservants stopped me, saying that I was bloodied, and that I was afraid that I would collide with the city lord, and asked me to go to the side hall to bathe and change clothes. Dongfang Cong just smiled, took the box of candy from my hand, and said to me, "Go, I'll wait for you here." ”

I bowed my head and followed the three maidservants away.

The maid was dressed in red, with a delicate face, and she looked like a teenager, but she looked like a person who was dozens of years old, and she was shrewd and sophisticated......
