It was the darkness before dawn, and as everyone reluctantly fell to their knees and prostrate, suddenly the soldiers with ice weapons pointed their silver spears at the Three Princes and their henchmen.

The sunset was red, and the cloaks of the people who came with the light on their backs were rustling, and the familiar straight and upright figure made everyone's noses sour, how could it be, wasn't the general king already dead? More than two years ago, they watched the coffin of Prince Kangjing sink into the ground, and every family in Kyoto hung white lanterns for a hundred days.

No, all they saw was a coffin, and inside the coffin was just a blood-stained helmet!

Their eyes lit up as they looked at the mythologized figure, and their hearts were surging, as if as long as he existed, Huatang would be safe, and all the territory would not be taken away by others. This is the person who they firmly believe in the general king for no reason, and look up with trembling all over.

The third prince and the group of henchmen standing beside him, including Jia Tianyou, also looked at the backlit figure in shock, impossible, they got the exact news from his subordinates that Li Qingjin's bones fell off the cliff and were gnawed by wolves.

They couldn't help but tremble a little, thinking of the general and king's style with a cold face in the past, it seemed that the fiery red sunset with a strong smell of blood almost overwhelmed them and couldn't breathe.

Gradually, the figure got closer and closer, and the man's facial features were hard and profound, although he was wrapped in heavy silver armor, but the noble aura flowed faintly from the cold eyes. He had gone through a death, heavier than before, and the scar on his right eye was like a beast on his shoulder, glaring at the wicked man on his behalf.

"Third brother, don't come unharmed," he walked up to a middle-aged man dressed in bright yellow embroidered with auspicious cloud dragon patterns, and greeted coldly with the corners of his lips hooked.

"Li Qingjin," the third prince said through gritted teeth: "Are you playing with us?" ”

"Third brother, what you said is not right, how can the sixteenth brother play with you with his own life? It's that God can't look at your greed, and deliberately let me return to the world to assist the emperor's brother Qingjun! He played with a sharp dagger studded with brilliant jewels, and lowered his eyebrows, and the twilight on it was more depressed and frightened.

"What are you still doing on your knees? Aren't the ministers going home for dinner? There's not so much silver in the palace to support you," he lifted his eyelids and glanced at the people crawling on the ground, his voice neither cold nor gentle.

But in their ears, it was the fireworks that thundered on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, beautiful and tight.

"Sixteenth brother, what he gave you, this king can give it to you, you say what you want!" The third prince was a little anxious, he had been planning for so long, and he was about to get it, how could he hold back?

The man looked gentle, but he was actually a snake in sheep's clothing. You are a sibling to him, but is he less suspicious of you?

This king is definitely different from him, the country is fought down by us together, even if it is divided, it is not too much!

Look, wait until you get rid of us for him.

No one threatens his throne anymore, and it's your turn next, Brother Sixteen!

You're so smart, you must know better than me, right? ”

The ministers were trembling again, they really wanted to be deaf, and they couldn't hear this. The matter has not yet come to an end, they dare not move, the head that was raised just now is now close to the cold green bricks, eager to dig a crack and get in.

"Hehe," Li Qingjin sneered, holding the dagger and waving it a few times in the air, although it was a split air, but everyone present felt a little pain on their bodies, "Who wouldn't say good things?" I am a sibling brother with the imperial brother, and I am separated from you by a mother. ”

He never likes to drag mud and water in things, and the previous incident where they shot at Xu Ranjia made him want to take a knife to Ling Chi them in person. If they succeeded, he couldn't imagine what he would be like crazy.

Li Qingjin took out the half-piece of copper crane that exuded a metallic luster from his cuffs, and said in a solemn voice: "Emperor Taizu once divided the jade seal of the country into two parts, one is the jade seal that the emperor is accustomed to, and the other is divided into two parts, the Wen seal and the Wu seal. ”

Everyone present knew about it, but they didn't have the opportunity to take a look.

Wu Xi is also known as the Tiger Fu, there are positive and vice, Wen Xi also has the main and deputy points, leading the Ming Wei and the dark guard all over the country, this is almost the lifeblood of the royal family, is the guarantee that the Huatang royal family has been safe, as long as it is there, then it can be firmly embraced.

"Third brother, you've been looking for it, right? It's a pity, it's in the hands of the master now, and then it will return to the hands of the imperial brother, you can only take a few more breaths while you can still breathe, and take a few more looks to relieve your hunger. Li Qingjin shook the bronze crane in his hand, hooked the corners of his lips, and drank: "What are you still doing in a daze, arrest this group of anti-ministers and rebel parties and put them in prison, and wait for the emperor's fate!" ”

The group of soldiers with silver spears roared vigorously in response, and unceremoniously pressed the three princes and others tightly.

Jia Tianyou looked at Li Qingjin unwillingly, he was a phoenix who flew out of a poor mountain village and studied hard, and he had suffered too much to get to where he is today. Now that all the wealth in his hands has turned into a bubble, his life will also be explained in this empty and cold palace.

He gritted his teeth and laughed, and his crazy look hid his happiness: "Li Qingjin, the person in your heart who loves and protects the princess is me, and it has always been me!" Hahaha, you're just picking up my unwanted broken shoes.

No matter how majestic you are, the princess of the family is not in you, you are a reckless man, a murderer, and the type of person that Ran Jia hates the most!

What she likes is a champion like me, if you kill me, you will never get her heart! ”

Before the last word could be spit out, his eyes widened, looking at the sky that was splashed red with blood, and he really couldn't understand what he was doing in this life? He still remembers the day he rode a tall horse with a red flower on his chest in the streets of Kyoto, and the shy, shy, stunningly beautiful woman with admiration in her eyes was like a cinnabar in the air.

But starting again, he still doesn't regret his choice, after all, he has seen the scenery from above, how can he be willing to tend to be subordinate?

"Why don't you go home for dinner?" Li Qingjin let go of the dagger in his hand, the knife hit the ground, making a crisp sound, and with his cold words, everyone trembled and knelt down, and crawled to the palace gate.

It's not easy to take this money, huh, they want to say goodbye to their hometown!

Li Qingjin glanced at Jia Tianyou gloomily and strode towards the palace gate.

He opened his heart to Xu Ranjia, but Jia Tianyou's words were not wrong, he had never been what she liked in her heart. She is a lively girl who can't be idle for a moment, and he has a dull temperament, and he can pass the day with a book or a sword.

In just a quarter of an hour's journey, he thought about a lot of things in his mind, standing in front of the small courtyard, looking at a drop of red blood splashed on the soles of his soap boots, and he couldn't lift his feet.

He stretched out his hands, which were scarred and covered in calluses, and they had lost so many lives, some of them were evil people, some were innocent people, some were old men with white hair, and some were babies who had just come into the world. Such a he, where is he worthy of the kind her.

"Coming back? Why don't you come in? Xu Ranjia walked out of the house, greeted him with a chuckle, saw him take a big step back evasively, frowned and asked, "Is it that you are injured and hide it from me?" ”

Li Qingjin did not have the slightest expression on his face, and lowered his head and remained silent.

They hadn't seen each other for five days, and she knew that the palace had changed in the past few days, and she was worried about walking around the room, and a new pair of shoes had been worn away by a thin layer. Seeing him standing unharmed, her lofty heart slowly fell to the ground. Looking at his magic at this moment, Xu Ranjia couldn't help but worry again.

"Failed?" She cautiously continued.

Li Qingjin shook his head, just staring at the red on his soap boots, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, holding back the anger and jealousy in his heart, yes, he was jealous that Jia Tianyou once had such a beautiful relationship with her. Not that they were united by a thin decree.

She gave all the edges and corners to Jia Tianyou, leaving him with only one who was obedient and resigned to her fate.

"You mean!" Xu Ranjia was so anxious that she stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and dragged him into the yard.

But she didn't pull him in the slightest with all her strength to breastfeed, and she couldn't help but be so angry that her eyes were red, she threw off her sleeves and ran back to the house, and went into the bedroom and lay on the bed and cried inexplicably.

Li Qingjin listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but walk into the house quickly with long legs, scooped the person into his arms, and caressed her back: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law," he took a deep breath, and slowly called her three times in a row, more affectionate than again, "I will recognize you in my life, and the heavens and the earth will not let you go, you hate me, hate me, and you have to accompany me through this life with gritted teeth." ”

Xu Ranjia cried blindly, and the more she cried, the more she became more and more hypocritically sad, feeling that she was a pitiful little girl who had no father, no mother, and no one loved, crying so much that she couldn't breathe, and her brain was also thinking nonsense. What can make the general king difficult to talk about her, she thinks it must be a woman's business, maybe it is some reason why he has to accept people, and he is ashamed to speak. Thinking about it like this, my brain also followed this path, and I thought of thousands of possibilities in an instant, and I cried and hiccuped.

At this time, she was frightened by his sudden and straightforward words, her face was still with tears, her eyes were wide open, a little dazed, and she couldn't stop hiccups, but it was never cute and pleasant.

Li Qingjin's heart was soft, his hand wiped away her tears, his forehead was against hers, and his eyes looked at her expression with a good look. He is an ordinary person, not a murderer, after so many years, he still remembers the feeling of killing for the first time, and remembers the feeling of his heart getting cold and hardening after each killing.
