"You actually came early?"

"Should I be late?"

At the entrance of the cemetery, a man and a woman meet in a narrow way, staring at each other with big eyes. The man wore a big shiny back, shiny leather shoes under his feet, and a black slim vest on a white shirt jacket, looking full of yuppie style. The woman has long flowing hair, wears a light purple dress, holds a bouquet of flowers in one hand, and carries a small parasol in the other, exuding the temperament of an aristocratic lady all over her body.

Seeing that the two choked as soon as they met, the bodyguard behind the woman hurriedly stepped forward, but was blocked by her waving hand. "Acquaintances, don't be nervous." The woman said lightly, "Also, you go back to the car and wait first, you are not needed here." ”

She walked side by side with the man, slowly walking along the path of the cemetery. The appointed time was six o'clock in the morning, which is the time when most people still sleep under the covers, and the cemetery is even more quiet, except for the rustle of footsteps.

In front of a gray tombstone, the two men stopped. The eldest lady bent down and gently placed the flowers in her hand in front of the tombstone, and turned her head to see that the man was just standing.

"You didn't even bring a flower with you to sweep the grave?" She was surprised.

"It's enough to have my smiling face." The man smiled as he thought he was handsome.

"It's disgusting to say that."

The eldest lady turned around in disgust and looked at the tombstone quietly. It is a nameless tombstone, and only a few people know who is being honored. Her fingertips slowly brushed the lines on the tombstone, and her eyebrows were lowered, as if she was gradually falling into memory.

"It's been so long, and I've actually been wanting to ask you." The man said, "How did that game end?" ”

The eldest lady turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "You really want to know, isn't it more convenient to ask 'him' directly?" ”

"It's the same if you don't." The man smiled, "You were there at that time, Ji Fenghua." ”

Let's go back to a few months ago, the moment when Xiang Nanxing's muzzle was on Jiang Liang's forehead.

Jiang Liang grasped the barrel of the gun with one hand, and put his outstretched fingers on the trigger, and he was about to pull it down, but at this moment, his free other hand did something.

A needle flew out of his hand, like a dart hitting the main wire of the live TV station, and sparks flew everywhere. Short-circuited wires caused a small explosion inside, scrapping valuable equipment, and at the same time, televisions across the country were turning black at the same moment.

"After all, it's a shameful thing, and I don't want people to see it." Jiang Liang smiled.

He pulled the trigger, closed his eyes, and listened to the "click" sound coming from inside. The shot was empty, and Xiang Nanxing finally chose the simplest and clearest strategy and put the bullet in the last slot.

And this also means that the cumulative measurement of Jiang Liang has reached fifty milliliters.

"In the end, I still underestimated you." Jiang Liang smiled bitterly, "Everyone knows that to maximize the chance of the opponent making mistakes, you should put the bullet at the end, but because of this, this has also become the easiest way to be seen through." But the most courageous thought is that even if the strategy is guessed, you are sure that you can survive the ten milliliters of venom injection in the next round. So even though you choose the most straightforward strategy, no one believes that you actually do it, which in turn becomes the most difficult strategy to guess. ”

The infusion device connected behind him made a "beep" sound, and the translucent liquid began to flow into his body in a steady stream along the catheter. Jiang Liang's body trembled violently, even if he was outstanding in physical fitness, he couldn't help the torture of a large dose of venom.

He pushed Xiang Nanxing back hard, and he seemed to be unable to stand anymore, and sat down on the ground. The latter staggered two steps, and was about to rush to the infusion set after standing firmly, but Xu Wen, who suddenly appeared, stopped directly in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you pass."

Xu Wen didn't look back at Jiang Liang at this time, but his face was a little unbearable. "It's not over yet, and I'm still the host of the game." "If you want to destroy the equipment, I'm going to have to stop you," he said. ”

"But that's ......"

"He is willing to gamble and lose, he has come to his senses." Xu Wen said bitterly.

"Well said!" Jiang Liang laughed.

At this time, although he was weak and could no longer stand up, he still used his last strength to sit cross-legged and maintain a decent posture. The venom was still flowing into his body, and Xiang Nanxing, who had also experienced it, felt the same pain. However, he always had a frank smile and accepted the result of his defeat peacefully.

"You're all smart people, why can't you choose a better way!" Xiang Nanxing shouted, "What bullshit rules, what rules of the game will be more important than living!" ”

"The rule of this world is that people are willing to gamble and lose, and they must bear the consequences of their choices." Jiang Liang said calmly, "It was my choice that made me lose under your hands in the end, I am convinced and willing to bear all these consequences." If I violate this fundamental principle of survival, even if I survive, it will be no different from death. ”

He smiled and shook his head, "No, that's worse than dead. ”

"It's worse than death...... Xiang Nanxing gritted his teeth, but his body couldn't move a bit. Xu Wen just blocked his impulse, and after calming down, it was himself who held him back. Xiang Nanxing knew very well that if a person had already made that level of enlightenment, then any act of saving him would be an insult to him. Seeing death and not saving is the greatest compassion.

Unless it is, by the person closest to him......

"Stop!"

The door to the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the uninvited guest stumbled in. The leader was Jiang Le, followed by Ji Fenghua and Nangong Qian, who was supported by her on her back, and while seeing the scene in front of them, the three of them immediately understood the current situation.

Everything is irreversible.

"You're here." Jiang Liang smiled.

His body shook as if he was about to stand up, but he fell headlong due to exhaustion. Jiang Le quickly rushed forward, hugged him in his arms when he fell, and hugged him tightly. She ripped off the IV tube, but the liquid in it had already been lost.

Too late.

The person in his arms has lost his usual vitality, and holding him is like holding a piece of wood that still has residual warmth. Even if it is steel and iron, it is powerless in the face of excessive toxins. Anyone can see that the vitality in this body is rapidly disappearing.

"Big brother!" She couldn't hold back her tears.

Despite knowing that he had deceived himself in this incident, and even indirectly almost killed her, Jiang Le still couldn't hate him. Not a single bit.

"Xu Wen!" She shouted, "Healing and helping!" ”

At the same time as she happened, Xu Wen and Ming Liu had already begun to act, the former pressed Jiang Liang's chest with both hands and began to perform cardiac resuscitation, while the latter bypassed Jiang Le and held up Jiang Liang's head to slow down the time for venom to penetrate into the brain. Jiang Le, who always hugged Jiang Liang during this process, was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle, but both of them acquiesced to the matter.

After all, people can't be saved.

Jiang Liang's pupils had gradually lost focus, and he seemed to be looking at Jiang Le, but he seemed to have bypassed the latter, looking at a void space that did not exist. "You're here." He said that these three words alone were like draining all the strength of his body.

"I'm here, I'm here." Jiang Le cried and hugged him tightly, "Don't talk, it'll be fine!" ”

Jiang Liang smiled, as if he hadn't heard her words. "Sister, where do you look......" he babbled, his voice getting smaller and smaller, Jiang Le approached him, trying to hear these words clearly, but he could only hear a series of erratic breath sounds.

"Don't talk, please, don't talk!" She even wanted to cover Jiang Liang's mouth, but she knew that it didn't make any sense. His pupils had completely dilated, and the heat from his body was gradually draining, and death was robbing this body of all life.

"Please, don't go over......" Jiang Le was already crying speechless.

At this moment, Jiang Liang suddenly moved, and a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Look! Flower field! He suddenly said in a loud voice, his voice revealing childlike joy.

The four words that others heard for unknown reasons set off a monstrous wave in Jiang Le's heart. She looked at Jiang Liang in amazement, and saw him looking up with his eyes wide open, smiling, as if he was looking at a beautiful paradise in mid-air.

In a trance, she looked in the direction Jiang Liang was looking at, as if she saw a whole field of purple and red flowers, and a little boy took the little girl's hand and ran into the flowers, rolling and frolicking in the fragrant smell. He took off all the burdens from his back, and his body was as light as an unrestrained deer, and he ran and jumped in the flower field, laughing happily and unbridledly.

"Fourth princess, the heartbeat has ......," Xu Wen said cautiously.

"I know."

Jiang Le nodded.

Looking at the face sleeping peacefully in her arms, she reached out and gently covered his eyes for him.

"I'm tired." She whispered, her erected index finger resting lightly on her lips, "Let him rest." ”

Time passed quietly, and months passed in a flash. Just as Ji Fenghua slowly recounted the scene he saw with his own eyes, the sky was gradually brightening. The appointed moment had come, and they heard the sound of the wheels rolling in the direction of the cemetery path. A graceful girl slowly appeared in front of them pushing a wheelchair, while the young man in the wheelchair opened his mouth in surprise after seeing the two clearly.

"You guys came early?"

"Should I be late?" The two of them pushed back in unison.

They didn't give in to each other, but they smiled on their faces at the same time. "Long time no see, Liang Jingmo." The young man in the wheelchair smiled and stretched out his hand, "It's a pity that I look like this, otherwise I would really want to rush over and hug you fiercely." ”

Liang Jingmo didn't say much, walked up and bent down, and gave the young man a bear hug. On weekdays, he always looks like a cold person who is not close to him, and this kind of intimate action is not unique, but also extremely rare.

"Long time no see, Xiang Nanxing." He whispered, patting the other man on the back vigorously.

Ji Fenghua took Nangong Qian's hand next to him and chatted with her affectionately. The two were a little unhappy when they first met, but when Ji Fenghua ventured to carry Xiang Nanxing to Nangong's house, this insignificant knot had already been untied, and then Ji Fenghua rescued the seriously injured Nangong Qian in the underground tunnel, which made the relationship between the two go further, like sisters. During this period of life, Nangong Qian has made a lot of new friends, and her personality is much more cheerful, and she is no longer the gloomy and lonely girl she was before.

"How is he doing?" Ji Fenghua asked worriedly, "Last time you told me that the doctor's diagnosis was not optimistic. ”

"After all, there are too many toxins accumulated in the body, and they can only be dealt with slowly." Nangong Qian said with a smile, "However, the condition has improved a lot after conditioning, and the doctor said that if you insist on rehabilitation exercises, you should be able to stand up again in a few days." ”

"But I'm going to be hurt by him right now." Xiang Nanxing interjected with a wry smile, but his hands still hugged his friend tightly.

While he and Jiang Liang were fighting to the death, Liang Jingmo was also experiencing the catastrophe of nine deaths and a lifetime on another battlefield. Later, he heard it from Qiu Banxia, and at the moment when the signal was cut off, Liang Jingmo launched the last resort that had been hidden, that is, to incite Bai Su's "monitor lizard" Cumo to defect and assassinate Bai Su in turn.

In fact, there was an agreement between the two secretly, but Cuomo was a frank wall-riding faction from the beginning, and whether the agreement took effect depends on the situation. If Bai Su has the upper hand, then he will fight for Bai Su, and that agreement will only take effect when Liang Jingmo has already secured victory. Cuomo later said that at that moment when the victory was clearly not scored, perhaps he was infected by the indomitable atmosphere in the picture, although he did not make a move, he chose to sit idly by and watch what happened next.

It was Nangong Wang who really dealt a fatal blow to Bai Su.

Even with the mastery of the Nangong family's hidden aura, it is difficult for a top killer like him to eliminate the aura in full view, but the weakness after the injury has repeatedly reduced his presence in the battlefield, and Xiang Nanxing on the other end of the picture has stolen all the limelight, so he was able to hide in the blind spot of everyone's attention and complete the assassination with one blow.

"Miss Black Cat sent me an email, not only depicting the heroic appearance of Brother Nangong, but also talking about the situation of Xifeng after that." Xiang Nanxing said with a smile, "Jiang Le's guy did a good job in the queen's position, not only did he not restore the old system, but he abolished those outdated things in one go, advocated enlightenment and justice, and put all the outstanding talents in the host into the newly established central government." Although there was some resistance at the beginning, with these enlightened methods, it can be regarded as gradually getting on the right track recently. ”

"And who's going to dominate those 'games'?" Liang Jingmo was puzzled.

"There are no more 'games.'" Xiang Nanxing said, "Of course, there will be no more 'prison gambling', no more 'white night sacrifices' and 'national theft wars', and after that, there will only be the only 'rule' of the law." All the old systems seem to have been written off with Jiang Liang's death, and since then, they have been rebuilt from a ruin, although it is difficult, but there are fewer troublesome constraints. ”

He pursed his lips: "Maybe this is Jiang Liang's purpose." ”

"Jiang Liang?" Liang Jingmo frowned, "Isn't what he wants to be the emperor?" ”

"He has to be emperor, but is that really what he wants?" Xiang Nanxing shook his head, "In retrospect, there were too many incomprehensible parts of his behavior at that time. For example, he obviously arranged the whole process from infiltration to accession, but he brought the useless me and Nangong Qian into the palace. Obviously, there are many opportunities to kill us in the secret passages, but they choose to do it in the palace where we have more opportunities to fight back. Even earlier, he offered me treatment and medication, as if to prepare me for the final showdown. I sometimes feel ...... He did all this like I could finally beat him. ”

"Lose openly and honestly, and die for those who have high hopes for him." Xiang Nanxing smiled bitterly, "Perhaps, he thinks this is the best ending." ”

The people around were silent. Nangong Qian saw that the atmosphere was a little low, pursed her lips and thought about it, and clapped her hands vigorously.

But then again, Jiang Le also worked really hard, so he was recognized by more and more people, and even fully assisted. Not only did Hu Xiaoni and Brother Chen Zhi choose to stay in Xifeng to help, but even the black cat lady who never liked to be restrained finally willingly accepted the appointment and became the youngest diplomat in the history of Xifeng...... Ah, yes! ”

She said excitedly: "She also said that the queen will be on another foreign visit in the next few months, and Tianjing is also on the itinerary, and several of them will accompany her." By that time......"

Her gaze turned to the tombstone, "Maybe they'll come here to visit the grave too." ”

Everyone's eyes were on the nameless tombstone and the stone tablet with Xiang Yun's name written next to it. Life is the same as the same acupoint, death is the same acupoint, the choice here to erect the monument is the meaning of Xiang Nanxing, but in fact, there is no Meng Chuanbai's ashes under the stele.

But as he said at the time, as long as the soul dwells here, it doesn't matter where the ashes are.

Seeing Xiang Nanxing propping himself up, Nangong Qian, who understood it, poured a glass of wine and handed it to him.

"Xifeng is not far from here, it's been almost a year, you should walk too." Xiang Nanxing sprinkled the wine in the cup on the two stone tablets in turn, "Stinky old man, I default that you will come back to find your mother, so we will salute together." If you run to a place where you are happy and you can't drink this wine, it will be your own loss, and I will ignore it...... Okay, Licheng. ”

He clapped his hands, put the wine glass aside, and then beckoned Nangong Qian to push him back. Ji Fenghua next to him looked at him in disbelief: "You brought a glass of wine when you came to sweep the tomb?" ”

"And my smiling face, that's enough."

"You guys are really from the same school!"

"But is that really good?" Liang Jingmo looked at the stele with a complicated expression, "You don't have anything else to say?" ”

Xiang Nanxing shrugged: "Like what?" ”

"After all, none of this is your choice." "If you don't have this series of things, you don't have to experience those painful moments, you don't have to go to any rehab treatment, but you should study in college, graduate, and then work." Although this may not be too bad, I still want to ask: did you hate him or me in your heart? ”

"Yes, of course there is." As soon as Xiang Nanxing spoke, Liang Jingmo's heart sank. But after seeing his friend's expression, a prank-up smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"But it's more about thanks." "It was these days that allowed me to see how human beings are fighting in the face of adversity and how they show the dignity of life. Father is, you too, and Jiang Liang, Jiang Le, Shen Junhao, and Uncle One-eyed, and many other people, all burst out with the brightest brilliance of their lives at those moments. How fortunate I am to be present and to be able to witness them and make them the most important memories of my life. ”

Xiang Nanxing looked up at the sky, closed his eyes, and folded his hands.

"I thank you, and even more so for the opportunity of life to have such a thrilling journey."

In the direction he was facing, the sun was slowly rising. The golden sunlight poured out from the sky like a tide, like splashing ink on the vast land, gilding everything in the world with brilliant brilliance.

It's a hopeful, new day.
