In the palace of the cold city, a large amount of white cloth was dyed blood red. At the same time, a large number of corpses were carried to one place.

In the palace, Dongfang Jin sat on the throne covered in blood. He succeeded, and no one stopped him. But he was not happy, but felt very lonely.

Looking at the scene outside the court, he fell into remembrance.

A faceless man knelt at the feet of Dongfang Jin.

"Your Highness, no, up, there's bad news. Lord Shangguan Xun died of serious injuries. ”

"What? Shangguan Xun died? ”

Dongfang Jin was a little surprised, but he suddenly laughed wildly.

Hahaha.

"Dead? Have you left me too? yes, yes. Let's go, let's go. ”

Dongfang Jin fell into madness, he picked up the knife in his hand and slashed the person who reported to death.

Blood splattered, and he got more blood.

Slowly walked out of the court.

Dongfang Shu threw down the knife in his hand, and then knelt down.

"I did it, I'm the king of Saki. Next, I will kill all those who oppose me. ”

The slaughter of the palace is over, and the slaughter of the cold city dares to begin.

The screams, the shouts, were endless.

On the tallest teahouse in the center of the cold city, a man in black silently watched the changes in the city.

"Here we go. It's time for the country to begin. ”

Accompanied by the teacup falling on the table.

Sima Liang, who was in the broken temple, picked up the teacup. Taking a sip of hot tea, he exhaled a long breath.

Looking at the snow-drenched carriage, he remembered what he had experienced when he came.

After a night of heavy snowfall, the carriage was no longer easy to walk. After a day, Sima Liang and his entourage passed through the barren plain. The originally planned two-and-a-half-day trip required an additional day.

"Lord Wang, drink soup." Xu Wu, as usual, handed over the broth.

Sima Liang drank some, and then asked.

"What about Yan Lingyun?"

"She said there was something wrong and she would be back soon." Xu Wu replied.

"Well, let her go. I'm almost done with food and want to go out and check it out. ”

Sima Liang put down the empty bowl and walked out.

After a short walk, he came to the carriage. was about to get in, and then he saw Yan Lingyun in a daze in the snow.

"What she's doing, let's go over and see."

Originally, Sima Liang wanted to see if Dongfang Shu wanted some help here. After all, the snow was heavy, and it was still quite cold on the carriage. Without much heating or hot soup, it's still hard to sit all day.

Now that he noticed Yan Lingyun, he was inevitably curious again. Sima Liang walked over slowly.

"What are you doing? Is it a memorial? ”

Sima Liang noticed that there were many nameless wooden plaques where Yan Lingyun was, and guessed that it was the place where the dead were buried.

"My lord, my mother is buried in it. Before the plague, my father and mother were infected. Dad survived, but my mother didn't. The prevention spread, and all the villagers who died of the plague were burned and buried here. The burning was presided over by the people of the government. Everyone couldn't tell their relatives, so they had to insert an anonymous wooden sign as a tombstone. ”

Looking at the wooden plaque, Sima Liang was a little sad. He patted Yan Lingyun gently.

"It's okay, it's all over. Just live a good life with Xu Wu in the future. I'll take care of you. Don't worry about it anymore. ”

"Thank you, Lord Yanwang." Yan Lingyun saluted and thanked.

Looking at the decent other party, Sima Liang suddenly remembered the jade seal. It just so happened that there was an opportunity to be alone, and he wanted to ask if he might gain something.

"Lingyun, have you ever seen someone from Grandpa's generation?"

Yan Lingyun was puzzled for a moment, but still answered truthfully.

"I've seen it, but not much. My father and I used to live in the village, and my grandfather lived in that small cabin. I often go to play with him. ”

Sima Liang's eyes lit up. I thought: I might be able to learn something.

Later, Yan Lingyun told some stories about what her grandfather had said.

There are not many stories, but it is enough for Sima Liang to understand some things. After hearing all this, his expression became complicated. He felt real. After all, there is no need to adulterate the story told to children.

Back at the broken temple, Sima Liang took out the jade seal of the Yan Kingdom. At this time, the jade seal was cleaned by him, and there was no sludge.

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded, startling Sima Liang. He hurriedly put away the jade seal.

"Lord Yanwang, you were born with a vision." Xu Wu exclaimed.

Sima Liang walked outside the house and looked at the sky.

Even though the clouds covered the moon, he could still see a very bright star, shining all the time.

"What a vision this is?" Sima Liang only felt weird, but he didn't know why.

"The adult emperor star is declining, and the child star next to it is dazzling. This is a precursor to the fall of the Emperor Star, and it is estimated that the Emperor Star will fall soon. This is a bad omen. Xu Wu replied.

"No, it's just astrology. How could something happen? ”

Sima himself was a person who did not believe in gods and Buddhas. He didn't believe in this kind of thing. But for some reason, his hand reached for the jade seal in the bag and kept touching the inscription on it.

"The child star is dazzling, and the emperor star has fallen. There is only one emperor in the world, and that is the father. If it is true, doesn't the child star represent ......"

Sima Liang stopped his thoughts, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

Suddenly, everything in front of him began to change.

Sima Liang came to the court hall of the Li Kingdom.

"It turned out to be a dream, I said that Xu Wu knew these things so well. Is that easy to say? ”

After Sima Liang knew that it was a dream, he instantly relaxed. Looking at the gloomy court, he looked at the only dragon chair that shone brightly.

It's empty, but it seems to carry everything.

Sima Liang turned his back to the dragon chair and wanted to leave. But after a few steps, he turned his head again.

"It's a dream, it shouldn't matter."

Sima Liang stretched out his hand to the dragon chair. Then slowly walked over.

One step at a time, he walked up the steps.

Touching the cold touch, Sima Liang was inexplicably excited. It was a heartfelt desire, a feeling of satisfaction.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally he turned around and sat down slowly.

Then, Sima Liang woke up. Looking at the familiar roof of the car above his head, he suffered from gains and losses.

An inexplicable loss crawled to my heart.

"I still can't put it down. can persuade Dongfang Shu, but he can't persuade himself. Man, it's easier to say than to do. ”

Sima Liang was distracted for a moment, and then opened the curtain.

"The snow has stopped?"

Sima Liang looked at the sky, and then he was stunned. Although there were no dark clouds to cover it, and he could see the entire starry sky clearly, Sima Liang noticed the familiar star at once.

"The sub-star is dazzling, and the emperor star is declining. The Emperor Star is about to fall, a bad omen. It can't be true, right, is that dream real? ”

Sima Liang took out the jade seal in his pocket, and then looked at the inscription on it.

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."

A thunderbolt fell, Sima Liang fell to the ground, and then the jade seal fell to the ground.

The moment he went to pick it up.

A pair of feet appeared in front of Sima Liang.

"Little Liu. You still want this position after all. I've done so much, but I still won't let you put it down. You're going to rebel eventually. Why, my father really doesn't want to kill you. ”

The emperor's voice made Sima Liang tremble.

He knew it was still in a dream, but he knelt down uncontrollably.

"Father, I don't have that kind of thought. I just picked up this jade seal. I want to hand it over to the ancestral temple, really. And I'm the royal family of the Li Kingdom, why should I rebel. ”

The emperor kicked Sima Liang over. His emotionless eyes looked directly at Sima Liang.

"You are the royal family of the Li Kingdom, but you still have the blood of the Yan Kingdom royal family on your body. You're just a mongrel, a white-eyed wolf that you can't raise. I was merciful, and I should have killed you all back then. Look at everything you've made. ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Sima Liang raised his head. Then he was dumbfounded.

Behind the emperor, the palace of Li Guo was on fire. A corpse appeared on the ground, and Sima Liang knew all these people. Each one is his brother and sister.

Suddenly, he saw a man appear behind the emperor.

"Be careful......

Poof.

Without waiting for Sima Liang to finish speaking, a knife passed through the emperor's heart. Then the other party fell weakly.

"Nope."

Accompanied by Sima Liang's screams. He saw the person who was doing it, and it was a familiar face. Because that's himself.

Call.

Sima Liang once again saw from the carriage. This situation made him a little trance.

Pulling back the window and looking outside at the snow still falling, he relaxed.

"It's just a dream, it's just a dream,...... No...... Why...... ...... only"
