The days are getting hotter day by day, and the front-line battle reports have repeatedly entered the palace, but unfortunately none of them are good news.

Since the defeat and retreat from the front line, the emperor locked himself in the Qianning Palace, and never came out again, and the people in the palace were panicked, and they were all afraid that something would happen. Some have even escaped from the palace.

The rumors outside the palace are very powerful, and it is said that the king of Zhen'an is violent and ruthless, and if he kills a city in a place, if he breaks the palace gate, he is afraid that it will be a river of blood, and it will be difficult to survive. Some people also say that the king of Zhen'an loves the people like a son, and if he is willing to open the city gate and surrender and accept the rule of the king of Zhen'an, the life of the common people will not be very sad in the future.

There are many rumors, true and false, false and true, and they can't tell the difference, but it doesn't affect the original days of Tougu San and Murong Yuhua in the cold palace. They originally stayed in Linyu Palace with Concubine De, but after the battle reports came frequently, the palace guards were even more relaxed in their care of the cold palace, so they simply moved to live around Zhao Yuan'er.

In addition to striking iron on weekdays, the third princess chatted with Gu San in her spare time, occasionally talking about how they always followed Zhao Yuan'er, and said teasingly, "It is said that the protagonist is the hardest to die, and he can't die, but the people around the protagonist should be the most unlucky, and nine times out of ten, they will die for the protagonist." You say, will the two of us be unlucky? ”

Gu San rubbed the child's head, "Don't be a crow's mouth." ”

"Judging from the data I entered at the end, the cost of rebuilding the neural bin is too high at the moment, and if this world is really destroyed and you disappear, it may take longer to re-import your data stream. I...... There were some problems. ”

"You said that." Gu San swept her face, "There are all kinds of problems in the real world, and you have to solve them first. ”

In fact, after accepting that Murong Yuhua appeared for a short time, and then disappeared offline, Gu San slowly got used to communicating with the current Murong Yuhua. She also thought about this question - when she left the virtual world and returned to reality, the Murong Yuhua she faced was not the Murong Yuhua she came into contact with here.

It's a strange feeling, and the person she's been spending time with every day isn't exactly that person. The Murong seen in several worlds is just a doppelganger of him, and the teenager in the real world has already grown into a young man, he is experiencing a life that she doesn't know, and his personality may be different from that in the virtual world. In fact, she can understand these to some extent, and even she herself in such a different world, sometimes she will have different feelings and reactions.

So now between her and the third princess, it is more like getting along with another person who is similar to Murong Yuhua but completely different. She has Murong Yuhua's memories, way of doing things, and genius, but she also has another part of her emotional and reactive personality.

Just like Murong Yuhua in the previous two worlds.

The third princess leaned her head on Gu San's shoulder, "I don't even know how things are resolved outside, maybe you don't feel anything, but ...... From my point of view, if I haven't updated for too long, I will slowly feel like I am detaching myself from 'myself'. ”

Gu San asked, "Are you struggling with whether you are Murong Yuhua or the third princess?" ”

"Also, my 'presence'." The little girl raised her hands and put them in front of her eyes to look at them carefully, "If there is no data update, I may be just another character with data and memories." Only when the data is updated and the memory is interacted with can I tell you honestly that I am the person 'Murong Yuhua'. ”

"You are now, too."

"No, I'm more of a shadow of 'me' staying here with you now. Or rather, 'he'. Even herself was slightly frightened when she said this, and at this moment she used the name of someone else. In other words, the moment she said the word, she already regarded herself as an independent and complete new personality.

A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but Gu San's expression did not change, but he just looked at her indifferently, "You have never been anyone's shadow." You stay here, live your life, and look for the end result for this life. ”

“…… But I am neither the third princess Qin Yuhua, nor the Murong Yuhua who lives in reality. I'm in this place and I have memories of two people, but I'm not them. ”

"You can be anyone." Gu San said, "A person who has the memories of two people, the knowledge of two eras, and two different social concepts. Who you are is not determined by who you could have been, but by who you want to be next. ”

The third princess was a little stunned, "...... You mean, I can choose for myself? ”

"You're choosing for yourself. Choose to stay in the palace or leave, choose to continue fighting or die. The past stays in the past, but the future is yours to decide. Gu San spread out his hands, "A name is a pronoun, you can call any name, but behavior determines your existence and who you are. Isn't it? ”

Gu San's words seemed to be a little beyond the expectations of the third princess, she seemed to be a little suddenly enlightened and said, "I can continue to be the Murong Yuhua of this world, the unique Murong Yuhua, even if it is different from him in the real world, but I can still live my own life, right?" ”

Gu San nodded.

As if the troubles that were bothering her heart were finally resolved, the third princess clapped her hands and stood up, she said very firmly, "I want to fight, and I want to protect you and Zhao Yuan'er." I will be with you until the final moment of this world. ”

She stretched out her hand towards Gu San, and the moment Gu San shook hands with her, she looked at the girl and grinned, "I will definitely be the best person you can rely on in this world!" ”

When she said this, in less than a day - the entire palace was completely surrounded by rebels.

At that time, Gu San had already taken Zhao Yuan'er, Concubine De and others to escape from the cold palace along the route designed earlier, and escaped from the deep palace after climbing all the way out of the wall. In addition, fortunately, Zhao Yuaner did a little bit in advance, and on the morning of the accident, a nurse brought her son over, and several people cleaned up, took the guys, and fled all the way.

The emperor sent Zhao Yuan'er into the cold palace, which seemed to cut off her way of life, but in fact, it gave her a chance to live. The cold palace is close to the mountain, and there are no soldiers and horses guarding here. In addition, the remote location, the palace concubines of other palaces may encounter accidents, but the cold palace is sparsely populated, and very few soldiers will kill here. In addition to telling Concubine De about Zhao Yuan'er's plan, she also quietly handed letters to other palace concubines. After all, when a real disaster comes, it is more or less a person who can save a person. When the war comes, it is inconceivable that a man as a soldier sacrifices his life, and as a woman, he will suffer such humiliation and torture. Those soldiers fought all the way to the palace gate for the leader, and in addition to the title of prince, the women of the palace would undoubtedly be the best reward.

With Zhao Yuan'er's temperament, she must not tolerate such a thing.

Fortunately, in the end, they successfully took a group of people and fled, and most of the rebels ran to Qianning Palace.

The emperor was the only one they were going to kill.

Originally, when the rebels attacked, some officials proposed to let the emperor flee, but in the end, because all sides were occupied by the rebels, the emperor could not fly in this city, and there was nowhere to escape, and the entire city was sealed by the rebels, and there was no way to escape from this place.

Gu San pulled the female dependents behind him to climb the mountain forest heights, and when he looked at it from here, he could just see the scene of Qianning Palace in the palace city.

The square outside the gate of Qianning Palace has been occupied by the rebels' soldiers and horses, the guards of the entire palace city have been killed, the smell of blood floats in the whole city, and the white marble steps have been completely dyed bright red. The group of rebels suddenly divided into two waves like a tide, they held swords and shields in their hands, and the knives kept hitting the shields and making sounds, and the crowd gradually merged into a voice, shouting the name of the king of Zhen'an.

This voice shook the mountains and rivers, and even Gu San and the others who were far away outside the palace gate could hear it clearly. With their shouts and calls, a man in gold armor and a spear in his hand sat on a tall horse and came slowly, his body was huge, and the war horse under his crotch was also tall and mighty. I heard that King Zhen'an is over forty years old, and he has such courage to fight all the way into Beijing, which is really admirable.

Although treason is a serious crime, as Murong Yuhua said before, those who steal the hook will be punished, and the princes who steal the country will be punished, but it is just another story of success and defeat.

He stepped all the way up the steps, stopped in front of the gate of the Qianning Palace, looked at the closed door, and stretched out his hand to the person beside him. From Gu San's view, he took the bow and arrow from his subordinate's hand, and then reached out to pull the bow away.

Long arrows break the door.

After King Zhen'an put down the arrow, he spoke, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about, but fortunately, Murong Yuhua was also on the side, and he could barely see the content of his lips, and he would tell Gu San and them in general.

What King Zhen'an said was nothing more than threatening the emperor to come out, as long as he came out, he could still save his life and reward him with a prince to do it.

It's the emperor sitting behind this door, what kind of emperor would be cowardly enough to let a traitorous guy in turn save his life and reward a prince? This kind of humiliation means that any minister with a bit of integrity must come and die to make his will clear.

Zhao Yuan'er stood aside and listened coldly to Murong Yuhua's retelling, Concubine De looked even more contemptuous, and snorted coldly, "If he can die calmly, how much do I respect him, but if this door is about to open, he will forget his majesty as an emperor in order to survive, and I will look down on him for the rest of my life, which really makes me feel disgusting." ”
