With the news of Beiliuyun's defeat and imprisonment and the defeat of the 400,000 army, the soldiers who were guarding the imperial capital were also worried for a while.

The old Guozhang and Jiang Taishi, who controlled the imperial capital, had not rested for several days, and the Empress Dowager Mu Qing fainted when she heard the news that Beiliuyun was seriously injured and defeated and imprisoned.

When the palace people heard the sound, they packed up their burdens and prepared to escape, but the army's morale was unstable, and Beiyan was on the verge of extinction for a while.

In the court, the old man paced back and forth anxiously: "Why hasn't this Jiang Bushou come yet!" ”

"Lord Guozhang, was Your Majesty really caught by Tanglin? How could an army of 400,000 be defeated so easily? A minister asked.

"It's not an army of 400,000, it's the rebellion of Yunguo Gong."

"Hey, it's really hateful, how can this Yun Guogong do such a villainous act!"

"No wonder he didn't feel resentful when His Majesty killed his wife and children?"

For a while, there were sighs in the court.

"Kunijo-sama, Kunijo-sama.. Master Jiang is here. A eunuch hurriedly reported.

The old man walked out quickly, and saw a frowning Jiang Bushou walking in: "Lord Jiang, how is it?" Stargazing last night, but what are the signs? ”

Jiang Bushou stroked his mustache and said with a sad brow: "Last night, I observed the stars all night and found that..."

"Found what? Say it quickly! ”

"Discover the Emperor Star that belongs to Your Majesty... It did fall. Jiang Bushou lowered his head and sighed.

With Jiang Bushou's words, the entire hall was talking for a while.

The old man staggered back a step, his grandson... Could it be that his grandson really is...

"Lord Jiang, what about Beiyan's qi?"

Jiang Bushou said in embarrassment: "I'm just afraid. The number of Northern Yan Qi is approaching..."

For a while, the ministers were in an uproar, and at this moment, a soldier covered in war rushed in: "Report! The king of Xiangjiang has rebelled, and the army is about to enter the capital, please give instructions! ”

...

Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed like this, and when Chu Luoyi woke up, nearly a month had passed since the battle in Anyang.

The situation in the world has also undergone earth-shaking changes, two-thirds of the territory of the Northern Yan territory has completely fallen, Jiang Taishi and the old Guozhang and other courtiers have to be forced to move north, and even the imperial capital has been transferred to a generation close to the coast.

After the relocation of the imperial capital, the ministers of the court and the central government were also divided into many factions, some people insisted on supporting Beiliuyun, and they were bound to see Beiliuyun before they were willing to give up, while some of the other factions advocated defection, and some advocated defecting to Beiliuhai or Beiliuxue, after all, Beiliuhai and Beiliuxue had a good reputation in Beiyan back then.

The four countries of the world gathered, for a time the soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized, the iron hooves were clanging, the beacon smoke was everywhere, the big wars and small battles were continuous, and the original splendid mountains and rivers were covered with a layer of gray blood for a while, which made people unable to open their eyes.

Slowly opening his eyes, Chu Luoyi looked at the familiar curtains on the roof, a little stunned, and then came back to his senses, only to remember that this was the Linglong Hall where he had been living before.

The sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling, Chu Luoyi couldn't help but reach out to block the dazzling sunlight, frowned, and sat up.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, she just felt as if she had slept for a long, long time, in her dreams, the smoke of war continued, the people were displaced, the old dynasty perished, the Xin dynasty was established, a generation would fall, and countless talents would rise.

In that misty darkness, she seemed to see a chaotic era, but after this era, it seemed as if a new dawn was about to be ushered in.

After mobilizing his mental strength, he found that there was nothing wrong with his heart, and it even seemed to be stronger than before, and a steady stream of power burst out from every part of his body.

Xiao Liuzi pushed the door in, with the sun on his back, and he couldn't see his cheeks clearly.

Seeing Chu Luoyi's figure sitting up, Xiao Liuzi suddenly lost his stability, and hurriedly closed the door and ran in: "Master, are you awake?" ”

"How did I end up here? Did Beiliuyun wake up later? Chu Luoyi regained his senses little by little, and couldn't help but think of the situation that day.

Xiao Liuzi was a little embarrassed, his two hands kept clasping, and he looked a little nervous: "Wake up.. Soon after the master passed out, His Majesty woke up. ”

Chu Luoyi did not relax because of his words, and continued to ask: "What happened after the first battle in Anyang?" ”

Xiao Liuzi looked at Chu Luoyi, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Master.. His Royal Highness the Nine was defeated.. Now imprisoned in Tanglin, Beiyan is finished... Now there is less than a third of the territory left.."

Chu Luoyi's eyes were dark, his heart sank little by little, and he didn't speak.

Xiao Liuzi didn't know how to speak for a while, and there was only a heavy piece left in the air.

"He... Where is it? Chu Luoyi asked.

Xiao Liuzi didn't speak, shook his head and said, "The minions don't know either." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Before Xiao Liuzi's words were finished, Chu Luoyi said angrily.

Xiao Liuzi suddenly knelt on the ground: "Minion.. Minions...."

The corners of Chu Luoyi's mouth showed a touch of self-deprecation, walked off the bed, jumped past Xiao Liuzi and walked directly to the door.

Xiao Liuzi looked at the back of Chu Luoyi leaving, stopped talking, sighed heavily, and then followed out quickly.

After Chu Luoyi ran to the door, his eyes were full of flowers, the sun was shining, and the sound of flowing water was the only way to patrol back and forth and send heavy guards, so that all this was covered with a layer of iron-blooded slaughter.

Chu Luoyi slowed down, looking around and looking around.

In just one month, the palace in Tanglin didn't seem to have changed much, Chu Luoyi stood in front of the door of the Linglong Hall and found a high platform not far away.

Then, lift the hem of your skirt and walk briskly to the high platform.

Standing on the high platform, you can almost overlook the situation of the entire Tanglin Palace, and in the distance, you can even see the situation outside the Tanglin, and you can see the mountains in the distance and the situation of Anyang City in the border fortress.

Xiao Liuzi looked at the dazzling sun, walked to Chu Luoyi's side and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Ninth is in Xiyuan." ”

Chu Luoyi turned his head to look at Xiao Liuzi, who had a bitter face and nodded at Chu Luoyi.

Chu Luoyi clenched his fists and didn't dare to make a move for a long time.

Why is he not in the Heavenly Prison, but in the West Garden.

A heart clenched together, the first time, there was a fear of the unknown, the first time, so afraid of the next moment, the first time, she couldn't help but want to beg God, can you not be so cruel.

Tightening his fingers, Chu Luoyi ran down the high platform again quickly, running in the direction of Xiyuan.

But as she got closer and closer, her feet became more and more like thorns, slower and slower, and as if filled with lead, and every step was so difficult.

The sun reflected the beads of sweat on her forehead, and she stopped and stood in front of the gate of the West Garden.

The gate of the West Garden was wide open, and there were many palace people crowded outside the door, pointing and looking at something.

Inside the gate, rows of soldiers were heavily guarded, facing the scorching sun, and their expressions were as cold as mountains.

Chu Luoyi moved step by step to the back of the crowd, and there were layers of palace people in front of her, but she never dared to raise her head.

"Is this the emperor of Northern Yan? What a deserved one.. I heard that he burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil."

"Yes, I heard that we are brothers with our Majesty. I didn't expect to be defeated at the hands of our Majesty in the end..."

"This is all retribution, I have long heard that he killed innocents indiscriminately and disregarded human life, otherwise he would not have ended up where he is now."

"Hey, but this is too miserable, but he was also the emperor of a country at the beginning, but now..."

"What kind of sympathy are you abusing to be, don't forget, it was he who led the troops to attack Tanglin and killed how many fathers and villagers..."

Chu Luoyi didn't look up, but he couldn't help but burst into tears, listening to the insulting accusations, two lines of clear tears rolled down his cheeks, refracting colorful light in the sun.

"But then again, he's also a seed of infatuation... It is said that the army will be sent for the sake of our queen.."

"It's said that the red face is ruined, and it seems to be really good..."

"Shhhh

In summer, birds and insects chirped, but at this moment, it was silent, and all the palace people turned sideways and stood on both sides, not blocking her sight, but their eyes also fell on her, with curiosity and concern.

Xiao Liuzi stood aside and frowned, and stepped forward to disperse them: "What to see... Not all of them go to work yet... It's all scattered, it's all scattered..."

The cicada-like eyelashes were hanging down with teardrops, as if they were weighing a thousand gold, and the crowd dispersed, and Chu Luoyi slowly raised his eyes.

The nose is sore, the corners of the lips can't help but tremble, the tears are rushing like a turbulent river, and they can't stop anymore, the heartache is like a blunt knife, at this moment, the world is only desperate, to the earth, only distress.

Under the scorching sun, in the empty West Garden, under a torture rack, a bloodstained man was tied to a wrist-thick iron chain.

Because of the dryness, the originally soft hair became yellow and dry, messy like a ball of straw, and the man sat at the bottom of the torture rack, his head lowered, without a trace of strength.

The expensive silk satin white brocade clothes can no longer see the original color, and the delicate embroidery has also faded due to exposure, and the hideous blood marks are like traces left by a soldering iron, and the skin is sticking together.

In addition, nine bright red blood stains bloomed on his body, like flowers of despair that grew out of his body, watered with blood, and the wound on his shoulder broke with the brocade robe, exposing the whitish and festering flesh that flew outward.

His gaze fell on the slender fingers, covered with tiny wounds, dry and yellow, without a trace of luster, and the nails that had always been clean were full of mud.

In this empty West Garden, except for him, he was chained to the center, and there were at least three layers of guards around him, all of whom looked serious, without any human feelings, like tireless stones.

In an instant, the strength of the whole body was drained.

Chu Luoyi's body slowly slid down, and finally squatted on the spot, grabbing the skirt between her legs with both hands and trembling, in a short period of time, the smooth material was full of wrinkles by her.

Xiao Liuzi stood aside, turned his head sideways, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, sighed, but could only stand quietly aside.

Chu Luoyi squatted in front of the gate of Xiyuan, I don't know how long, until his hands and feet were unconscious, until the scorching sun slowly moved from the top of his head to the sky, and he never moved a bit.

The greedy gaze fell on the embarrassed man, and he couldn't leave, and the tears in his eyes were dried by the wind again and again, but they were like endless droplets in the blue waves.

For almost a day, the north-flowing clouds that were tied to the pillar remained motionless, and the wind lifted it, and he swayed in the wind, from beginning to end, without moving a single bit, as if he had lost his breath.

The sky darkened little by little, the lights of thousands of homes were bright, the entire Tanglin Palace was lit up with bright lights, reflecting the splendid palace and jewels like a fairyland, and the shadows of the pavilions and pavilions were reflected in the blue waves, which was indescribably moving.

The two eunuchs carried the food box, slowly approached, and when they saw Chu Luoyi, they bowed their heads slightly and said hello, and then walked into the West Garden.

"It's eaten, it's eaten!"

'Bang! With a bang, the food box fell to the ground, splashing a lot of dust.

The two took out a fairly clean meal and threw it in front of Bei Liuyun and said, "It's time to eat!" ”

Beiliuyun remained motionless, and the two little eunuchs shook their heads and turned to leave.

Chu Luoyi slowly stood up, but because he had been squatting for too long, he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Xiao Liuzi's eyes were quick and he held her up, so she stood firm.

Standing in place, she waited for a long time, and just when she thought he wouldn't move, she clearly saw two fingers trembling slightly, and one hand rubbed a little bit on the ground against the food that was close at hand, but the distance of half a meter was so difficult for him.

Chu Luoyi grabbed Xiao Liuzi's hand and couldn't help but tighten it tighter, and his delicate nails buckled into Xiao Liuzi's arm unconsciously, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Beiliuyun, what's wrong with you... What's wrong...

Xiao Liuzi's eyes couldn't help but be sour.

Although Beiliuyun has tortured him a lot, and even made his master cry bitterly, he can't say why, but he still can't hate His Royal Highness the Nine.

Maybe it's because of the hardships he has come from, maybe it's because he understands his concern for his master, maybe it's because of the fear in his heart, but at this moment, looking at the high-spirited Beiliuyun in the past, his heart can't help but be sour.

Looking at Chu Luoyi, Xiao Liuzi said softly: "In the battle of Anyang, His Royal Highness the Ninth seems to have used a certain technique, and his strength has risen sharply, and His Royal Highness should have been defeated, but Qingxue suddenly appeared and joined the battle, and somehow, Qingxue's martial arts did not look strong, but His Highness Jiu began to retreat one after another, so that he was seriously injured and fell into a coma. ”

Chu Luoyi choked the tears from the corners of his eyes, not letting it fall again, his eyes fell on Beiliuyun, but he was listening carefully to Xiao Liuzi's words.

After a while, Beiliuyun's fingers finally rubbed against the edge of the bowl, and a thick layer of blood rubbed out of his wrist.

At this moment, he seemed to notice something, and with great difficulty, he raised his head and looked ahead.

As he looked up, Chu Luoyi finally saw his appearance clearly.

The originally white cheeks were now covered with stubble, embarrassed, and only a pair of glass-colored eyes were flickering, and when they looked at her, they were full of tenderness.

Gently hooking the corners of his lips, Beiliuyun showed a shallow smile at Chu Luoyi, opened the corners of his lips, and said silently: "I'm fine." ”

Chu Luoyi covered her mouth and forced herself not to cry, but the tears seemed to collapse, washing her cheeks like heavy rain.

Beiliuyun tried to pick up the bowl casually, even though he was trembling, he was trying to keep it steady.

Xiao Liuzi choked and said: "After His Highness Nine fell into a coma, Qingxue used the Nine Whips to abolish the joints and meridians around His Highness Nine, and he couldn't even lift his hands at all..."

'Smack! With a bang, the bowl in Beiliuyun's hand finally fell to the ground and split into pieces.
