Chapter 1: The Cage of the Beast

Next Chapter

In the thirteenth year of Jin Taihe, the pedestrians on both sides of the imperial road in Chang'an City were bustling, the sound of vendors selling, the sound of aristocrats walking gongs and drums, and the sound of children laughing and running and jumping happily, the sound was boiling, and the hot sun above the head dyed the imperial city red.

The sound of Solasola's chains sounded, and ice water poured down from the sky, and everyone instantly froze and stiffened, and silently let go of the entire royal road.

The ignorant child blinked, opened his mouth to cry, and was directly covered by his mother: "Don't make a sound." ”

The sound of chains came from far and near, and it was a woman with ragged clothes and messy hair that could not be seen clearly, she was covered in faded embroidered clothes, half mopping the floor, and the faintly visible colorful phoenix heraldic head broke the line to reveal a brown and gray placket that could not be seen in the previous color.

The woman walked barefoot on the stone slab royal road, and the boiling water on the slate that was almost reflected by the scorching sun seemed to blow air fluctuations that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and her every step was hot.

The feet that had been frozen and cracked in the winter were exposed to the sun in the summer, and the skin was already unbearable, the brown and edematous skin stretched the epidermis, and the fine lines were like a broken mirror, as if they would burst open at the slightest touch.

Once upon a time, it was also a pair of beautiful feet.

There were numb faces on both sides of the royal road, and there may have been people secretly wiping away tears, but now, everyone waited for the torture time to pass, and some even hoped that the woman would fall down and never get up again.

It not only spared her the humiliation of nine years of walking the streets every day, but also spared each of them from the hoarse guilt in their hearts.

Princess Xin, why aren't you dead yet?

The woman was still walking slowly step by step, and the person behind her seemed to come to life, relieved to do her own again, only she slowly walked towards her own cage.

It was a thatched cage half sunk into the ground, half above the ground. Directly opposite the cage is a knee-high torture platform, over the years, how many people Emperor Taihe has killed, whether it is beheaded, beheaded, beheaded, or Ling Chi, women have witnessed one by one.

In the past, she would still struggle and scream, but now she is completely expressionless, and even those people sent by the Great Liang to rescue her died in front of her eyes, and blood was splashed on her, she was not moved.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Someone on top of the cage mockingly kicked the wooden fence with the thickness of his arm, and the bloody human head was thrown down like this, three.

"There are three more who are beyond their means, Your Majesty said to show you if you know anyone? Ha, it's been more than nine years, and the old people who still want to rescue you are afraid that they will be killed long ago. ”。

The female monarch of Daliang, the former crown princess of the Jin Dynasty, and now the princess of the letter Liang's eyes moved, but there is really a familiar one.

The child who was always at the bottom of the training was able to sneak into Jindu to save her.

Liang stretched out his hand and touched the human head lovingly, and said in a voice that was so dry and empty that he could hardly call it a human voice: "Good boy, it's almost over." ”

The person above laughed: "In the end? At what end, don't think about it, think about the people of Daliang, think about the people of the Jin Dynasty, and think about your husband Xinwang. If something happens to you, I'm afraid that the world will be peaceful......" The man's voice suddenly sank, with a hint of regret: "It's coming to an end." ”

Maybe it was too long to make many people forget the old things, but he Chen Rong didn't forget.

Believing in the princess is the belief of Emperor Taihe.

That madman only wants this one woman in his life, and there are hundreds of beauties in the palace, all of whom are similar to the eyebrows and eyes in the beast cage, and even if he dies, he will take away the similarities between the concubine and Princess Xin.

Emperor Taihe even wanted to use evil magic to piece together a princess who believed in the princess, a princess who only had him in her heart and did not believe in the king.

Of course, he could not have succeeded.

Princess Xin has walked in this imperial city for nine years, more than 3,000 days and nights, and has never regressed in the cold winter and heat.

She kept the peace of Liang Jin, and also kept her loyal promise to King Xin, the only thing she couldn't keep was herself, her youth and beauty, her noble glory, and her talent and deeds that moved the world.

Chen Rong sat down against the railing, and his purple robe was half-pulled down, forming a shadow in the prison.

"Is it worth it?"

There was a thunder on a dry day, and the rain was pouring down, and the answer that Chen Rong didn't wait for was probably not waiting for a lifetime.

At the moment when the thunderstorm sounded, a sharp arrow burst out of nowhere around the empty area, and quickly hit Chen Rong's heart with a whistle.

At the last moment, he fell on top of the fence and barely turned back, blood dripping from his mouth and rain pouring down, and a letter whistle at his hand: "Please...... Please," he said, "this is the last wave of salvation...... I beg you to save your man...... I'justβ€”"

"Heh," interrupted him with a shriveled laugh, Liang's wettest hair sticking to his face, difficult to discern his true face, only his fingers pouted fiercely on the head, and as another thunderbolt sounded, the watery sharp teeth pierced Chen Rong's throat.

"Nujun Liang is the most," she stood up, the rain washing away the dust from her face and rubbing it over her chapped lips, "no one is needed." ”

Under the lightning, Chen Rong's dried fish opened its mouth like a fish, and she couldn't see whether she was crying or laughing, and the letter whistle slipped from her hand and fell at Liang's feet, trampled into dust by her.

"Your Majesty!" The voice was eager and familiar, and the person who came carried Chen Rong's back placket threw the person away, knelt on the fence and almost choked, his hands and feet trembled: "Your Majesty, it's late for Jiusan......"

"What are you crying about," Liang's most hoarse voice carried a bit of impatience familiar to Jiusan.

"Yes," Jiusan put away his choked sobs and showed a silver light broadsword, "Your Majesty be careful!" He reminded that he immediately slashed at the fence, and the wood grain cracked, revealing the hard iron three fingers thick inside, and the big knife cut only revealed a slight scratch.

Liang was not surprised, although Emperor Taihe was crazy, he was not ambiguous at all about what he should be careful.

"Please stand back." Jiusan really came prepared.

Liang leaned to the prison wall according to his words, Jiusan operated his internal strength, and the blade seemed to be alive in an instant, and with another explosion of thunder, the hard iron broke into two.

"Your Majesty," Jiusan's hand stretched out.

There was a round of applause and rain on the high platform of the city wall, and the Taihe Emperor was dressed in bright yellow and dazzling eyes, and he ordered the guards to put down their bows and arrows, and they all applauded with him: "The regent of the dignified Liang actually came in person, and it was really a long way to welcome." ”

"Protect Your Majesty!" Jiusan shouted angrily, and directly stopped Liang Zhi behind him, and a large number of dead soldiers rushed out of the rain curtain, obviously planning for a long time.

However, Liang behind him moved his mouth the most, and there was a crack on his face that had not changed for several years.

Now that Jiusan has grown up, he will protect her.

"This is the person you are waiting for? Liang Shi, it's been nine years, I'm tired of doing this Mingjun, haven't you seen enough? Emperor Taihe walked along the Yanyin Tower, and the eye-catching dragon robe seemed to be showing off his identity: "You have worked hard for nine years for the promise of a coward, but you see, who else dares to mention King Xin today, and who still remembers him and reads him?" Now all I think about in the world is me, my benevolence, and my good governance! ”

"Becoming a king or defeating a king, that's why I want you to surrender."

Liang pushed away Jiusan's protection, and her thin figure seemed to be ready to fall at any time under the rain curtain: "You defeated him, but you never won me." ”

"Okay, I'll win you once today!" Emperor Taihe seemed to hear some hope, and picked up his sword and rushed down the imperial city.

After a fierce battle of only thirty-four rounds, Liang was most physically exhausted and showed flaws, just when Emperor Taihe wanted to lay the victory, she suddenly pointed at the sky with a knife: "With my blood, sacrifice your soul!" ”

The dark clouds surging in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the moment the rainstorm stopped, the nine bright stars connected into a line like a thunderbolt hitting Liang Zhi's body, and the dragon-shaped jade jue on her chest was shining like rushing into the thunder, the dragon chanted for nine days, and the beam of light was attached to the big knife she chopped down with the ability to change the heavens and the earth.

Emperor Taihe seemed to be frozen in an instant, and his movements were as slow as ants, and he couldn't dodge the stab at all.

The sword light and blood light rose into the sky, as if the whole world was frozen in an instant.

Only Liang is the only one who can still act.

She walked up to Jiusan, and her surroundings were like shattered lenses, about to melt into her pupils, and those eyes were bright and uncertain, sparkling with all kinds of old things.

"I see," Liang fixed on her husband's face, he was as elegant and handsome as when they first met, "I have been waiting for nine years, and it turns out that this is the opportunity you said." Liang Zier smiled: "I have no regrets and no regrets with you in this life, but Zeyuan, you have protected the world, but you have not been able to protect me." You love the world more than you love me. Her voice grew lower.

Click...... Jin Zeyuan's face dissipated, and only the frozen Jiusan expression was left in front of him.

Liang most seemed to have made a decision, and pressed his heart hard with thunder light in his palm: "In this life, whatever you want." ”

The sound seemed to come from ancient times, empty and secluded, shattering Liang Zhi's own self, leaving only the pupils of Jiusan, who opened his eyes blankly, instantly pitch black.

"Your Majesty!"
