Chapter 167: Guilty (Before)

"Donggaki, because you are guilty. As soon as Huo Lanyuan's hand was forced, he pulled out the long knife.

In an instant, a large piece of blood spurted out from Dongyuan's chest cavity and landed on the screen, as if dyeing the forest in the screen with the meaning of late autumn.

The evergreen trees, overnight, turned red leaves and became maples, constituting the scenery of thousands of miles of maple forest.

"Hmm...... Master...... I don't understand...... I have...... Not...... What is the crime?" he swayed for a while and collapsed to the ground. Between the mouth closing, red stained the lips and teeth.

"You brought the letter into the palace, and this is your sin. This letter, written by a rebellious man, is full of lies and deception, which stains His Majesty's eyes and spoils His Majesty's mood. Are you not guilty of the most heinous of all then?"

Huo Lanyuan didn't look at his little guard, but just kowtowed to the emperor to apologize, "Your Majesty, the minister deserves death." ”

"What is Qing's crime? Your only sin is to dirty my screen, this red ink is indeed difficult to deal with, and can only be destroyed. Ah, it's a pity for this screen. ”

The Son of Heaven walked around and approached the screen, as if looking at the calligraphy and paintings on it. As his body blocked the fire, his shadow disappeared, but his general outline could be glimpsed.

Majestic hair.

As rumored. It's a bit inconsistent with age.

"Your Majesty Xie does not blame the recklessness of the minister. ”

Dongyuan was bleeding all over the ground, his mouth was fishy, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, so he had to whimper, and his hands were desperately digging at the ground.

After a while, Dongyuan was no longer popular. Since he was born, he has been Huo Lanyuan's "knife", and his skills are excellent. Before the enemy, it is almost fatal. But in the end, he is just a child, how can he understand the real reason.

He just sent a letter and said a word for his master, but he took his own life.

Huo Lanyuan's pain in the killer this time was just in response to the emperor's sentence, "Someone has heard something that should not be heard, seen something that should not be seen, and is still dangling in front of his eyes, which is really annoying." ”

The young man Dongyuan died without turning a blind eye. He hadn't opened the letter, and he hadn't understood who the person hiding in Nanling was in the words that the young master asked him to pass on, he was ignorant, pure as paper.

But the Son of Heaven is suspicious by nature and can't bear this uncontrollable feeling.

"Your Majesty, this is the consciousness of the minister. Huo Lanyuan knelt behind Dongyuan's corpse, as if he had made up his mind.

He killed Dongyuan, but he just broke his own "knife". There is no pity, no mercy.

The Son of Heaven did not know it, but just waved his hand and summoned a little eunuch, "Drag this sinner down, and when he sees what he should not see, he gouges out his eyes." and when he heard something he ought not to hear, he cut off his ear. Besides, pull out his tongue again, and even if he goes to hell, don't even think about what is right and wrong. ”

That's it.

A few guards with knives entered the hall and dragged away the bloodied Dongyuan.

"Huo Lanyuan, I order you to leave for Nanling immediately. The Son of Heaven sat down again, picked up the little eunuch's new hot tea, and took a sip.

"Obey. ”

"Wait, I still have something to entrust to you. The Son of Heaven said this, but did not continue, but just beckoned and summoned the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch poked his head down, listened to the whispers of the Son of Heaven, respectfully, and nodded frequently.

Huo Lanyuan felt strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to make a sound, just waited silently. When he came back to his senses, the great eunuch had already retreated, and seemed to have gone somewhere else.

What does the emperor want to entrust to me? Huo Lanyuan maintained a posture of kneeling and saluting, and he couldn't help but guess.

But the emperor was silent, as if he was waiting for something.

Just as everything was shrouded in smoke and mist, several guards dragged something covered with a red cloth into the hall.

"When you go to Nanling this time, you will give this great gift on my behalf. The Son of Heaven waited for this thing to come, and finally spoke.

Huo Lanyuan hurriedly responded.

The Son of Heaven waved his hand, and the shadow on the screen was rubbing his temples, as if he was tired. He asked Huo Lanyuan to step down.

After Huo Lanyuan left, the originally light and breezy Son of Heaven suddenly waved his long arm and ...... the teacups, paper, pens, and ink tables on the table All of them were thrown on the ground.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and the sky also changed, and there was a sudden thunderstorm.

The handmaiden, the eunuch, the guard...... They all hurriedly knelt down, afraid of being affected, and didn't even dare to shake lightly.

They bowed their heads, panicked. I only heard the Son of Heaven gasping for breath.

this day.

After Huo Lanyuan came out of the palace gate, he went back to Huo's mansion, only explained a few words to his father, and then left the mansion.

He went to the night sky, picked up something, and left Chang'an City.

At this time, there were already 100 elite soldiers waiting outside Chang'an City. They are all full of energy. Those arms are as thick as the waist of the girl in the Red Mansion.

"One hundred...... There is simply no need for so much. Huo Lanyuan whispered a few words, feeling that the Son of Heaven was a little excited.

He and the hundred people went out of Chang'an City, and on the horse, they saw a carriage carrying something covered with the red cloth, so they had the idea, dismounted, and uncovered the red cloth.

"This is not ......," Huo Lanyuan muttered, he recognized it.

At this time, he didn't know that this thing was the source of the Shen family's rebellion, but he was full of doubts.

The horses' hooves trampled on the red dust.

More than 100 people and more than 100 horses, carrying the orders of the Son of Heaven, headed towards Nanling.

At the same time, when he came to Shijian in Chang'an, he saw the seal affixed to the Zhu Gate of the Shen Mansion, and Fang felt that something was wrong.

He galloped into the night, and saw the same ruins and desolation.

Shi Jian ignored the gaze of pedestrians, pushed open the door alone, and walked into the nightless sky, he ran from top to bottom, as if he was looking for something.

"Gone...... It's gone......" Shi Jian leaned against the wall in amazement, his eyelids lowered, like a child who had lost a treasure.

There was no time for him to stay here, Shi Jian patted his face, pinched his thighs, gritted his teeth, and ran out of Chang'an City, he got on his horse, and rolled away in the direction of Nanling.

It's just that I don't know, who will arrive at Nanling first, this Shi Jian or Huo Lanyuan, and how will the dust settle?

South Ridge.

It's night.

Xuan Yijiu stood beside Shen Qingjun, smoothing her frowning brows over and over again, responding to her call.

He didn't know how many times he answered the word "I'm here", but Shen Qingjun was still worried and cried from time to time.

What went wrong?

Xuanyi was full of pity.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Shen Qingjun shook his head, his face wrinkled.

"I don't blame you, no more...... I don't blame you...... As soon as you wake up ......."

Genichi took out a brocade and wiped away her tears.

It was a blue veil, out of place with a monk, with colorful butterflies swirling on it. He hid for more than ten years, starting from the day the two first met, she wiped the blood from his forehead.

Outside the window, the wind was rushing.

If you listen closely, it seems to be the sound of horses whistling.

This night will be a long night.
