Han Xuzhi handed over the horse to them, glanced at the man on the upper floor of the city, and strode up the steps.

The wind blew his cloak to the sound of hunting, and he walked up to Li Qing, his handsome face showed determination: "General Li, the hour is coming." ”

Li Qing stared at the distant pitch-black mountains outside the city tower, and was silent for a long time.

"General Li, you won't ...... Repented, right? ”

Han Xuzhi's eyes narrowed, and he gently grasped the saber at his waist.

The snowflakes fell on Li Qing's armor and quickly slid to the ground.

He was silent for a long time, then turned around and bowed his hand in the direction of the imperial city.

The corners of Han Xuzhi's lips gradually hooked, and the hand holding the sword was released again: "General, don't worry, after tonight, you will be ranked as the third duke, and your daughter will also become the most favored concubine in the harem." ”

Snowflakes fall silently.

At the gate of the palace, Chu Suiyu and Xiahou Ming were both dressed in fine armor, riding on black horses, and silently watching the Star Picking Tower.

Behind them, thousands of Praetorian Guards lined up neatly, their armor cold and flashing with the blood-red light of lanterns.

Seems to be waiting for something.

And downstairs from the Star Picking Tower, Chu Yunjian motioned to Li Qi and the others to stop and walked into the Star Picking Tower alone.

On the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, Shen Miaoyan stood under the wide eaves, looking down on the whole city, and the golden lights of every household converged into a sea of golden lights, hazy in the light curtain of falling snow.

Farther away, long rivers shimmer with a pale golden glow, and the black, endless mountains meet the deep blue sky.

Her amber eyes were lit up by this extreme view, and she felt that she was in the clouds, and her mind was extremely open.

She stretched out her little hand to the sky, and the fluffy snowflakes landed on her ruddy palms, quickly melting into droplets.

They are so delicate, so fragile......

Ah Qin smiled softly: "Miss, it's beautiful here." ”

Shen Miaoyan also smiled: "Yes, it's beautiful." ”

The two of them admired it for a few more moments, and footsteps sounded from the wooden staircase.

The carved wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a man in a moon-white dragon robe carried a lamp, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face: "Miaomiao." ”

Ah Qin glanced at Shen Miaoyan, lowered his head and retreated, not forgetting to cover the door for the two.

She turned her back to the carved wooden door, tilted her head slightly, and gently dropped the deadbolt down.

lowered his eyes, but his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

On the top floor, the cold night wind blew the white gauze curtain flying, Shen Miaoyan turned around and looked at Chu Yunjian quietly.

Chu Yunjian was also looking at her, behind her, tens of thousands of lights lit up the capital, and such a brilliant sea of light could not match the brightness of her eyes.

He walked up to her, put his hands on the armrests engraved with pomegranate flowers, and smiled very restrained on the corners of his lips: "When the banquet resumes later, I will give you a New Year's gift." ”

Shen Miaoyan pursed her lips, "What gift?" ”

Chu Yunjian looked back at her and smiled without saying a word.

He wanted to marry her and Jun Tianlan as the princess of Chu State.

Shen Miaoyan couldn't help pouting when she saw him selling Guanzi: "Don't say it!" It's very inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow to be in the same room, and I have to go. ”

In the hall directly below the two, a little eunuch carefully handed Ah Qin a lantern covered with green paper.

Ah Qin held the green lantern, was silent for a long time, and slowly hung it in front of the windowsill.

"Miss Aqin, if the king of the county succeeds tonight, you should be the first to take the lead! The battle is imminent, please ask the girl to go down to the star tower with the minions, right? The little eunuch said respectfully.

Ah Qin's face was expressionless, and he turned around and walked towards the stairs.

At the gate of the palace, Chu Suiyu saw the green fire light from a distance, and at the same time raised his spear high, and his voice spread far away in the silent night: "Today's emperor has no way, he killed his father and brother in order to ascend the throne, and mutilated his siblings, and his crime cannot be punished!" Kill! ”

When his voice landed, thousands of Praetorian Guards shouted together: "Killing one's father and brother, mutilating one's siblings, the crime is not punishable!" ”

They shouted three times in a row, and the majestic sound echoed throughout the palace, causing the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra in the Chengqing Hall to stop.

The ministers were terrified, not knowing what was going on.

Han Tangzhi got up and swept out of the main hall as fast as he could.

On the top of the Star Picking Tower, Chu Yunjian was still leaning on the handrail, his face was indifferent, listening to those shouts, and quietly watching the torches around him.

Shen Miaoyan had already walked to the door and pushed the carved wooden door, but he couldn't open it.

She hurriedly ran to the handrail, and in the brightly lit palace, the sound of horses' hooves poured in from all directions.

"Chu Yun—"

She didn't even utter his name completely, and an explosion suddenly sounded from below the Star Picking Tower.

The whole building was crooked from the middle, and Shen Miaoyan exclaimed in surprise and fell to the side.

Chu Yunjian grabbed her wrist and held her in his arms.

"Wonderful ......"

He hugged her so tightly, as if he had exhausted all his life's strength to rub her into his blood.

The explosions sounded one after another, Jun Tianlan swept from a distance, landed under the Star Picking Tower, and saw the burning and collapsed wooden building, his phoenix eyes widened, and he rushed to the building desperately.

Han Tang took a step in the evening, only to see the black afterimage stepping on the eaves that had not yet been burned out, straight into the sky.

Burning breath came to my face.

Shen Miaoyan opened her eyes apprehensively, and saw Chu Yunjian hugging her tightly, with a burning beam pressed against his back.

The man propped his hands on her side, and his handsome and elegant face was still smiling, but his voice was categorical: "Go!" ”

Shen Miaoyan trembled, and slowly withdrew from under him, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, lying on the floor, and his whole body was ignited by the firelight.

"Chu Yunjian!"

Shen Miaoyan called out in horror, and hurriedly got up to carry the heavy beam, I don't know if it was because of the smoke choking out tears, or because of the man smiling in the flames, tears flowed wantonly on the white and tender little face.

Her slender and delicate hands passed through the flames, and she screamed in pain to lift the beam, but she couldn't lift it, she couldn't lift it......

The beam was as heavy as steel, and for the first time she hated herself for not being strong enough.

She screamed, and even though she had exhausted all her strength, she still couldn't move the beam.

She sat on her knees and wept bitterly.

Chu Yunjian reluctantly raised his head and slowly raised his hand, wanting to wipe her tears for this girl.

Shen Miaoyan cried and hugged him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

"Fool, it's me who should say I'm sorry." Chu Yunjian's fingers touched her cheek with difficulty, gently wiped away her tears, his voice was extremely weak, but it was also extremely gentle, "Don't cry, the crying Miaomiao is the ugliest......"

Shen Miaoyan's burned little hand was on the back of his hand, and she knelt in front of him, crying heartbreakingly.

The sound of breaking wind sounded, Jun Tianlan came through the flames, and when he saw the scene of the two hugging each other, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he dragged Shen Miaoyan up, and his voice was low: "Go!" ”

Shen Miaoyan refused, struggling desperately, her amber eyes stared at the burning Chu Yunjian, and burst into tears: "Save him!" You save him! ”

Jun Tianlan picked her up horizontally, stepped on the broken wooden plank, and jumped out of the Star Picking Tower without hesitation.

"I'm not leaving! Save him! Save him! Save him......"

Shen Miaoyan cried and cried, scratching Jun Tianlan's arm with all her might, until her sleeves were scratched and blood oozed from her arms, but her hands still didn't move.

"You save him, you save him......"

Shen Miaoyan's teary eyes were red and swollen, the man jumped off the star tower, and his low and indifferent voice diffused in the wind:

"He volunteered."

The moon-white dragon robe burned, and Chu Yunjian's long black hair flew in the firelight.

He watched as the little girl disappeared from sight, clutching the Bodhi bracelet tightly and slowly falling into the sea of fire below.

As far as the eye could see, it was fiery red, and his eyes seemed to appear in front of him the appearance of the little girl falling from the pomegranate tree in the late spring of that year.

He was still staring in that direction, and his voice was hoarse: "It used to be lonely and dark, and there was no news of the garnet red......"

In the firelight, the Star Picking Tower completely collapsed.
