Today's streets are very different from those of the past, and the front of the doors of the houses are all covered with red satin.

It turns out that today is the day when the daughter of the Xu family becomes a monk.

The Xu Mansion was already noble, and the emperor Chrysostom gave the marriage, and the groom was deeply loved by the people, and the people were also happy and took the initiative to join the construction of the wedding.

A band of 100 people sent by the emperor himself started from the palace to play and play all the streets and alleys in the capital, and then came to the Xu Mansion to start the kissing ceremony.

Xiao Minglang rode a horse with a red flower on his head and followed the band, numbly moving forward.

He remembered what Liu Che'er had said to him not long ago.

After Xiao Minglang sent Xu Suhua back to his home, during the dinner, he had already heard the meaning of Xu Xian's words, and even realized that he intended to provoke his dissatisfaction with the court.

Xiao Minglang was very vigilant, he knew that Xu Xianzhi did not make up his mind to abolish Liu Yifu, but was only forced to act by Huayan.

Xiao Minglang did not stay, and immediately declined the hospitality and retired.

He was really relieved, and heard that Xie Hui was planning to counterattack, so he returned to the palace the next day to report the news.

Liu Che'er obviously knew about Xie Hui's rebellion, and his expression looked bland. In the Taiji Hall at that time, only Xu Xianzhi served on the side.

"From the moment Xie Hui escaped, I was mentally prepared, just waiting for him to take the initiative to send it to the door. Now it's time to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. However, I still want to thank you for making a special trip for this. Liu Che'er walked down the hall and patted Xiao Minglang's shoulder and smiled kindly.

Xiao Minglang leaned over respectfully and replied: "The emperor is serious, this is what a minister should do." As long as the emperor is safe, the ministers can retire with peace of mind. ”

"Retirement? Have you really figured it out? ”

"Yes, the minister has already begun to do so."

"Why? Wouldn't it be good to stay by my side and help me rule the world together? I need your help. ”

"The minister believes that the court is full of talents, and he will not leave the emperor alone. The minister is a rural man, and it is more appropriate to return to the countryside. ”

Liu Che'er nodded silently, "Brother Lang insists on this, and I will no longer stop it." It's just that there is one thing I still can't rest assured. ”

"What did the emperor say?" Xiao Minglang looked up and asked.

"Your marriage."

"My marriage?" Xiao Mingming was secretly startled and listened with bated breath.

Xu Xianzhi stood silently beside the side, and he finally raised his head and glanced at the two people in the conversation.

"It's time for you to start a family, I don't worry about you, you don't care about yourself, and when the time comes, my queen will really blame me! Do you have a favorite girl? Anyway, I'm in charge for you! ”

Xiao Minglang is such a careful person, how can he not hear the meaning of Liu Che'er's words.

He was telling him that Huayan was already his wife, and you should stop trying to beat her up.

Xiao Minglang glanced at Liu Che'er quietly, and after a long time, he replied: "Then the emperor will be in charge!" It's just that the minister's omission is probably not acceptable to few people. ”

Liu Che'er smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this, Brother Lang is talented, there must be a lot of women who know how to appreciate you and are willing to follow you." I'll do it for you, don't worry! ”

"Emperor Xie, ......" Xiao replied clearly and lonely.

After that, they came to the Jiaofang Hall together, Xu Xianzhi took advantage of the situation, in front of the painter, asked the emperor to give marriage, and now it seems that it has already been agreed with the emperor.

In fact, Xiao Minglang had already seen through this layer, and at the same time, he also clearly understood Liu Che'er's dedication to painting, he had always regarded him as a brother and did not want to compete with him, so he unusually agreed.

Huayan didn't know the reason, but Xiao Mingming's heart was more or less shaken, and his heart was very sad.

Just as Xiao Minglang was staggering and immersed in his memories, the gate of Xu's Mansion was already close in front of him.

"The bridegroom? The groom?! The matchmaker tugged at the reins in Xiao Minglang's hand and reminded softly.

Xiao Minglang looked around in a trance and slowly jumped off the horse.

"What are you thinking? Even the bride forgot to take it?! The matchmaker shouted with her voice wide open.

Xiao Minglang didn't take any reason, he was cold, and walked inside.

Xu Xianzhi came out early, and led Xiao Minglang into the hall with a smile.

Xu Suhua, who was covered with a red head, walked in slowly with lotus steps under the traction of the girls' mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

Around the hall, and even in the courtyard of the gate, it was all crowded with people watching the excitement.

Shepherd Niang, Fang Hai also came, they only stood on the outside of the crowd, quietly watching.

Liu Yikang couldn't stand the persuasion of Tatelinlang, so he also came to congratulate, but Tatelinlang entered the mansion, his expression changed greatly, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word. Liu Yikang had no choice but to sit silently and unnaturally.

They had smiles on their faces and happy words on their lips.

"Congratulations! Xu Gong is happy to choose a son-in-law! ”

"Gong Xu is happy to get the Qilin Jiazi, congratulations!"

"Thank you! Thank you! Xu Xianzhi smiled from ear to ear.

He greeted him with a smile as he walked through the crowd, "Slow use, slow use!" ”

Xiao Mingliang stood in the middle hall, as if in a dream, unaware of everything around him.

"Worship heaven and earth!" The salute began.

Xiao Minglang was pushed by the matchmaker, woke up like a dream, and bowed stiffly.

"Second worship high hall!"

Xiao Minglang's face was like ashes, and he turned around and didn't move for a long time.

"The bridegroom? The groom! Don't bow yet? Don't keep the bride waiting! The matchmaker urged.

Xiao Minglang moved forward with difficulty, and was about to lean over, but he heard Baoshan suddenly run in, "Childe! Big things are wrong! The queen mother she ......"

"What's wrong with Yan'er?" Xiao Minglang grabbed Baoshan's collar and asked nervously.

"I don't know who sent a message to Xie Hui and deceived the queen mother, this time, the soldiers are trapped in the valley, and they can't retreat!" Baoshan was out of breath.

Tateshiro stood up subconsciously, slightly panicked.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Liu Yikang helped her sit down again and asked with concern.

Tatelinlang swallowed hard, shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's going to be okay......"

Tately Linlang was originally just impulsive, just thinking that she could find an opportunity to suppress Huayan's arrogance, and didn't want to really hurt her, but she didn't expect that one of her letters would have such a big effect and would put Huayan in a desperate situation.

"What?! Yan'er personally went to the battlefield?! Xiao Minglang was obviously unaware, and he recalled his past conversations with everyone, none of whom revealed anything about Huayan.

"Xu is the queen mother, don't let me say it......" Baoshan tried to comfort Xiao Minglang, but his uncertain tone annoyed him even more.

When the shepherd lady and Fang Hai heard this, they quickly walked out the door.

Xiao Minglang threw down the red thread holding Xu Suhua, turned around and glared at Xu Xian, tore off the groom's hat on his head, and resolutely turned around and left Xu's mansion.

Yes, if he had known that Hua Yan was going to the battlefield, he would not have been able to leave her no matter what.

When Xiao Minglang just walked out of Xu's mansion with his front foot, Liu Che'er's special car stopped outside the door of Xu's mansion, and he was about to get out of the car to congratulate him, but he saw the scene of the groom's escape.

Liu Che'er's original smile gradually stiffened, and her eyes became deeper.

By the time Xiao Mingliang arrived at the battlefield, all fighting had stopped.

On both sides of the road, weeds and ravines were all scattered with red and bright blood.

There were stumps and severed arms lying on the ground, and there were people moaning bitterly, which was shocking to see.

Xiao Minglang's heart sank, he looked around blankly, and shouted over and over again: "Yan'er!"

"Xiao Gongzi ......"

"Who?!" Xiao Mingming asked vigilantly.

"Yes...... I, Nie Feng......" the man said with difficulty.

Xiao Minglang searched in the direction of the sound, until the moment he found him, he suddenly lost his voice.

I saw that Nie Feng's face was covered with blood, half-bent over and propped up on the ground, his chest cavity was pierced by a long halberd, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Nie Feng used his last strength to raise his hands and wave towards Xiao Minglang.

Xiao Mingming quickly stepped forward to support the left and right. He looked around, trying to find someone to help, and looking around, there was no trace of anyone within a hundred miles.

"Don't look at it, they're all dead...... I'm almost ...... too," Nie Feng said weakly.

Xiao Minglang asked bitterly, "General Nie, what happened?"

"Butterfly...... Countless white butterflies...... Queen Mother...... I went into the mountains, and I was alone...... Shenglan wants to be safe......" Nie Feng used his last strength to point in the direction where Huayan left, and fell asleep forever.

Xiao Minglang helped Nie Feng to lie down in pain, turned around and walked in the direction of Huayan.

He had no way of knowing what was going on here, he just hoped that Huayan would wait for him to appear.

He searched all over the mountains, just like when he fell off a cliff.

Without any clues, without any guidance, he searched frantically for two or three hours, and finally saw a figure in a small ravine.

He walked in slowly, and looked at the face of the person lying on the ground, the person had no signs of life, and the identity of the corpse was Xie Hui.

Xiao Minglang exhaled lightly, Xie Hui is dead, which means that the painting Yan has won. He thought happily, feeling the darkness, still groping forward.

And not far from where Xie Hui died, there was also a white corpse. It is not difficult to guess that person is Liu Fang.

Xiao Minglang picked up the fragments on the ground that were faintly glowing with green light, and took a closer look, only to find that the source of the fragments was actually the jade flute that painted the face!

In front of the splintered debris, there was a red thread made of blood dripping.

He searched for the direction of the red line, and his heart trembled with the drops of blood.

"Yan'er will be fine...... It's going to be fine......" Xiao Minglang couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, and prayed over and over again.

Finally, next to a small stream, he found her.

She sat next to the stream and laughed from time to time.

"Yan'er?!" Xiao Minglang quickly walked to Huayan's side and hugged her tightly.

Hua Yan looked back and smiled, "Bright? What are you doing here? ”

"I will never leave you again! Never! Xiao Minglang hugged the painting face and said in a choked voice.

Hua Yan looked at the groom's dress on him, smiled happily, and muttered, "It's good that you're here, at least you can see the last ......"

"No, Yan'er, in this life and this life, I will never leave you again, and I will not marry anyone except you. Don't go back to the palace, don't be a queen anymore, let's leave, go far, and live our own lives. Yan'er? Do you say okay? ”

Hua Yan leaned on Xiao Mingming's shoulder and nodded slightly.

Xiao Minglang was very happy, and was about to continue, but saw that Huayan suddenly fell into his arms.

"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?!" Xiao Minglang held on to Hua Yan's shoulder, swaying gently, and suddenly, he saw a stream of blood, extending from Hua Yan's abdomen to the soles of his feet, meandering to the stream......
