In the cell late at night, Wanyan and Zhao Nan sat side by side, the two were speechless, but they did not feel sleepy at all. The concubine and the general, who were still high above yesterday, have been reduced to prisoners today, and in the face of an uncertain future, there is a feeling of dependence between the two.

But now in Zhao Nan's heart, thinking about Mingfu, I don't know where she went, whether she is safe now, whether she has done anything stupid, whether she is doing well.

"Today, Li Shimin asked me a question." Wanyan said suddenly.

Zhao Nan looked at Wanyan's eyes, her eyes were even deeper in this deep darkness, Zhao Nan still remembered the scene when she first saw Wanyan, at that time she danced in the city, overwhelming the crowd, attracting everyone's attention, her eyes were so clear and bright, so that Zhao Nan fell, but now, Zhao Nan can no longer see the original pair of eyes.

She's getting so complicated now.

"What?" Zhao Nan asked.

Wanyan didn't look at Zhao Nan again, but stood up, turned her back to Zhao Nan, and faced the only small window in the cell, a little moonlight leaked in from the railing, lighting up a little darkness. Wanyan's voice was quite calm, and she said lightly: "He asked me if I love you or not." ”

Zhao Nan was quite surprised when he heard Wanyan say this. The two have always had an ambiguous relationship, only they thought it was good to hide it, but in fact, everyone saw it. And this relationship problem has always been a taboo that the two deliberately avoid, and no one can understand whether there is a real relationship between them.

Zhao Nan did not deny that he loved Wanyan in the past, and he was so obsessed with love that it led to such an uncontrollable situation today, once, he hoped that he could melt Wanyan's ice, and he could get a little response from her, what he used to want to get was this answer the most, but now, he doesn't care so much.

Wanyan fully understood Zhao Nan's mood at this time, fate was so ridiculous, always full of misses. Wanyan He had provoked Zhao Nan, but when she found that she didn't dare to face this problem, she knew that she was already in love. It's just that she understood too late.

"I said I don't know." Wanyan didn't know if Zhao Nan wanted to know the final answer, so she just said to herself.

"It's too late to say that." Zhao Nan interrupted Wanyan's words, he couldn't stand the person he once loved, confessing his once affectionate past in front of him, or telling about his tenderness with another man.

"I know." Wanyan said, "It's too late for me to understand, once you wanted to take me away, take me away from the palace and fly away, but I can't let go of my hatred, my obsession, now all this is the result of my own fault, you don't have to do this to me, and you want to take the blame for me, what I said is just a threat to you, I won't really do it, besides, the emperor sees everything in his eyes, he understands." ”

"It's not that I'm taking your penny, I've known since I started to rebel with you, and this is a certain death. I just hope that if I do this, I can relieve the hatred in your heart and let you live in peace for the rest of your life, then I will die a well-deserved death. Zhao Nan said very frankly.

"Have you untied the knot in your heart?" Zhao Nan asked again.

"I don't know," Wanyan's answer was still faint.

"Maybe this is God's punishment for me." Wanyan recalled her stumbles along the way, and seemed to be quite emotional, "I have done too many wrong things in my life, Mingfu's life experience is what I told her, I am always so selfish, unscrupulous to achieve the goal, I am sorry for too many people, but the person I am most sorry for is you." ”

"Zhao Nan, I'm sorry, I can't let go of my hatred for Li Shimin and Datang, he killed my father, killed my brother, ruined my home, I have to fight him to the end. But you are different, today I completely understood, it turns out that I owe you so much, I will use my last strength to protect you a way out. ”

"You don't have to be like this, you should know that if the emperor wants me to die, then I will definitely die." Zhao Nan rejected Wanyan, no matter how absurd the relationship between the two was, but Wanyan's heartwarming words still made Zhao Nan feel very pleased, Zhao Nan thought, at least they are still friends, Zhao Nan doesn't want to owe Wanyan himself.

"I have my way, you don't have to say more. Zhao Nan, I'm going to ask you one last question now, if I let you take me away now and be with me forever from now on, would you be willing? Wanyan was looking forward to a positive answer, she still had the last hope, but she understood that Mingfu's existence in Zhao Nan's heart was indelible.

Zhao Nan sighed: "You know my answer, don't say it again." When we were not imprisoned, I did have a thought of taking you away, but now that I have accepted my fate, our situation is simply inescapable. ”

When Wanyan heard Zhao Nan's answer, she also gave up, not because of Zhao Nan's appointment, but because Zhao Nan was unwilling to take her away at all. Wanyan won't tell Zhao Nan, in fact, she has already left a way back for herself, Wanyan has prepared an elite army of ten people, and only obeys her dispatch.

Wanyan asked them to be on call at any time, just to prevent such a thing from happening, now, as long as Wanyan passes on the information, she and Zhao Nan can be saved, but Wanyan chose to give up, rather than let Zhao Nan be reluctant, it is better for the two of them to die together, and there can be someone on the Huangquan Road.

Neither of them spoke again, and silence returned to the cell.

Tang Changyu blew the cold wind on the palace gate all night, when the sky was just bright, Tang Changyu seemed to find someone standing under the palace gate, but it was still dark, Tang Changyu didn't see it really, so he ordered someone to get a torch, Tang Changyu wanted to go down to the palace gate to check what was going on, but the risk was too great, and he was blocked.

When it was a little brighter, it started to snow. At this time, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the snow that had been belated in this cold winter had finally arrived. In the vast snow, this time Tang Changyu finally saw clearly, I don't know when the palace gate was full of soldiers.

And the leaders standing at the forefront of this soldier turned out to be Li Junzhi and Liubin. It was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, Tang Changyu almost couldn't believe his eyes, and the people guarding the palace gate with Tang Changyu were also shocked, they didn't understand how such a huge team could quietly surround them under their eyelids.

Tang Changyu had speculated about Li Junzhi's city government for a long time, and expected him to be unexpected, but he didn't expect Li Junzhi to surprise him like this, Tang Changyu seemed to be a great enemy, but what made him even more headache was that Liubin actually stood with Li Junzhi, and Zhao Nan's problem had not been solved, did the three of them really want to turn against each other?

Tang Changyu fully understands why Liubin made such a decision, Li Junzhi is his uncle, they are burdened with a common blood feud, his father's killer has always been protected by his loyalty, Liubin is of course resentful, and the deaths of Yunqing and Liuxia have given him a fatal blow.

But Tang Changyu can understand him, it doesn't mean that the emperor can understand him, let alone that he can do whatever he wants. Tang Changyu had just caught Zhao Nan with his own hands, and he was going to go toe-for-tat with Liubin, how could he bear it, the only thing that comforted Tang Changyu was that Liuning was not there, but fortunately his enemy was not her.

Tang Changyu looked at the team waiting under the palace gate, this is a very well-trained team, just by their elusiveness, it can be concluded that Tang Changyu feels that this is more tricky than any team he has encountered before, such a quality can not be trained overnight, it can be seen that Li Junzhi has been planning for a long time, and his intentions are so deep that it is difficult to guess.

Tang Changyu calculated his troops, and secretly knew that he could not attack, so he could only outwit him. looked at Liubin and Li Junzhi who were standing below, they were also expressionless, without expression, coldly giving people a lot of pressure, Tang Changyu thought, maybe Liubin is a breakthrough, if he can persuade Liubin to surrender and cooperate with Liubin, then it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Tang Changyu said to the two people under the palace gate: "Liubin, Mr. Li, let's have a gentleman's appointment, I have something to say to Liubin, please come to the palace gate, I promise that we will not attack Liubin, and please guarantee that the palace gate will be opened and only Liubin will come in alone, don't take the opportunity to attack the door." ”

When Tang Changyu said this, he was not 100% confident, he was afraid that Liubin and Li Junzhi would not agree, and he was even more afraid that they would agree, in case they broke the contract and took advantage of the situation, the consequences would be even more difficult to control, and he would be self-defeating, Tang Changyu nervously waited for the response of the people below.

"If you say anything, we won't agree." Liubin responded.

"Liubin, don't be so impulsive, you come up, we have something to say, you have always been the calmest one among us, why are you so hasty now, I believe you must know what Zhao Nan did when he was used by Li Junzhi, do you also want to be used by him, do you also want our brothers to fall apart? If there is any hatred that you can't let go, you come up and listen to me talk to you slowly. Tang Changyu was a little anxious.

"I'm not going to be moved by your words, I'm not that good at lobbying." Liubin's attitude is very resolute.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Li Junzhi, who had been silent, spoke, and he said to Liubin: "Go, you see what he wants to tell you, and then act at the opportunity, take some of him, I believe you will not be persuaded by him, don't forget our hatred, don't forget how your father died." ”

Liubin nodded and walked to the slightly open palace gate, and the army behind him was slaughtered and waiting.
