In the midwinter of the nineteenth year of Sheng Yun, there were several blizzards.

Snow has always been a rarity in the winter of Kasumi, but this year it is as cheap as the weeds in the fields.

The price of cotton and chestnut carbon has risen again and again, and countless poor people are frozen to death every day.

The usual beggars in front of the street and behind the house were gone, huddled together in the windy ruined temple on three sides to keep warm, and next to the small fire that could not be weaker.

It was on such a snowy day that the silver-haired and black-robed Shen Tan took the eighty-one killers of the Tilting Xia Pavilion into the Yundu and went straight to the palace Tongyun Palace, which was the residence of the Empress Xiaxi.

The establishment of the Tilting Xia Pavilion was originally intended to overthrow the royal family of the Xiaxi Kingdom, and Shen Tan never liked snow as much as he did today.

After several days of wind and snow, the sun has not shone on the land of Xiaxi for a long time, and the Tongyun Hall is still lit with many lights during the day.

The entire palace was quiet and a little scary, and Broken Cloud, who had many years of experience as a killer, caught a hint of something unusual in the air, the smell of blood, the smell of fresh blood.

The gate of Tongyun Hall suddenly opened.

Yun Lian, the empress of Xiaxi, dressed in red, stood in the center of the main hall.

In her hand was a blood-stained sword, and the blood on the blade was slowly sliding down with the blade.

"You're late, it's already a dead city, all the people in the palace are dead, they have all been hacked to death by me, poisoned, hanged, and there are no living people here. What are you doing here? Collect their bodies? ”

Yun Lian is no longer young, her crazy voice is not as sharp and harsh as that of a young woman, it is a little more hoarse as an old man.

"Auntie, we're here to take your life."

Breaking Cloud slowly stepped forward from the eighty-one killers, holding a brand-new silver-white sword in his hand.

The sword looked like it had just been cut and had not yet been nourished by blood.

"Yun Yuan?" Yun Lian was still smiling, smiling at the black-clothed Broken Clouds, and constantly smiling at the wind and snow.

"You're still alive. But your mother is long dead. ”

The sound of the sharp sword piercing through the flesh, and the long sword in Yun Yuan's hand penetrated the abdomen of the woman in red.

"Auntie, call me Breaking Clouds. I'm not going to let you die so easily. ”

Silver light flashed, and a dagger as thin as a cicada's wings plunged into Broken Cloud's heart with precision, and the golden light shone on her back.

"The faithful woman breaks the clouds and sacrifices her body, may the person I hate live in vain for seven lifetimes, and be born deficient in the first life; I am young and decaying; I was seriously ill all my life; I died of torture; I will be resentful; I love parting; I can't ask for it. ”

Breaking Cloud spoke very quickly, and when he finished speaking, the golden light suddenly brightened and disappeared.

Everything happened too fast, Shen Tan wanted Yun Yuan to slash his enemy, but he didn't think that she would sacrifice herself.

He flew down and took down a piece of jade from behind the plaque in the main hall of Tongyun, which was a piece of jade that was plain white without a trace of variegation.

Against the backdrop of the candle flame, there is a little more cold luster, which is the ice jade inherited by the Xiaxi royal family for generations.

Legend has it that ice jade is a rare medicine, which can live the flesh and bones of the dead.

Only a few people know that this ice jade is a soul-nourishing weapon.

Shen Tan quickly slashed the fingertips of his left hand with the dagger he carried with him, and wrote a string of runes on the jade.

He leaned over and carefully picked up Yun Yuan, reached out and took some blood from his heart, and quickly drew it in the center of the ice jade rune.

The blue light slowly converged in the ice jade, and after a while, it gathered into a small ball of light.

The wind and snow stopped that night, and the more than 200-year-old female generation of the Kasumi Kingdom came to an end.

In this unusually cold winter, the old man is always extremely difficult, and Emperor Wu of the Kundong Kingdom, who was already riddled with old diseases, died of illness.

Shen Tan ascended the throne as emperor in the spring of the following year, and his year name was Daiyun.

Xiao Xiuyi ascended the throne as emperor in the spring of the following year, with the year name Jingming.
