Walking into the Tinghe Tower again, looking at the guests on the first floor who were obviously disguised and full of seats at dawn, as well as the already familiar boss and the shopkeeper, when they cowered behind the counter, Shang Ruyi didn't feel scared or uneasy.

She felt only a little powerless.

It's like a person, powerless in the face of fate.

But the next moment, she suddenly gave birth to a little more strength - after all, in the face of fate, she didn't seem to be really completely powerless, so she took a deep breath and followed the guidance of Father-in-law Yu to the second floor.

It's still the private room by the window, and the door is still hanging with a slightly swaying beaded curtain.

Father-in-law Yu walked to the door, saluted inside, said a word, then turned to her and smiled, and then retreated.

Immediately, there was silence.

Shang Ruyi couldn't even hear her own breathing and heartbeat, she only felt that there was a depressing feeling coming from inside, almost enveloping the entire Tinghe Tower, she seemed to know where that depressing feeling came from, so, after taking a deep breath, she reached out to open the bead curtain and walked in.

In the private room, even the decoration is the same as last time.

As soon as she heard the sound above her head, Shang Ruyi's body was shocked again, and then, she also understood the meaning of these words, Chu Yang came to see her more than once as "Yang Arbitrary", even she herself was used to not bowing in front of the emperor, but this time-

Shang Ruyi knelt on the ground, but he didn't dare to move, he only felt cold all over his body, and even his hands and feet trembled slightly.

It's the jade pendant.

He said, "You still understand me."

It was at that time that Chu Yin waved his long arm and pointed his sword at Jiangnan.

recalled the first time she followed Yu Wenye to listen to the Crane Tower, it was in August last year, at that time, although there was a large area of barren land outside the city, at least there was a prosperous scene in the city, and it was still full of friends and guests; But after that, every time she came, there were fewer and fewer guests, and even the last time, when Yu Wenye took her to eat here, there was only one table of guests on the entire second floor.

Shang Ruyi couldn't believe that he would say such a thing!

Chu Yang slowly looked back at her, his gaze a little colder.

She shuddered involuntarily.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Ruyi thinks that it is Your Majesty who came today."

So, she knelt motionless and did not look up.

A low table was placed in the center of the room, on top of which was a delicate incense burner, a pot of wine that had just been warmed, two wine glasses, a thick carpet under the low table, and the air was still filled with the kind of cold incense that belonged to a certain person, like a cold hand, the moment Shang Ruyi entered this room, it held her.

The person standing in front of him was silent for a moment, and then, a chuckle sounded above his head.

Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Shang Ruyi's heart sank, but he immediately came to his senses, and stepped forward to bow and salute: "Ruyi to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up and walked to the bedside, this time, the sky was a little brighter than just now, and his eyes saw the movement of pedestrians on the long street below more clearly, and sneered: "It's a pity that there are so many people in this world who want to make me angry."

….

As soon as he looked up again, he saw Chu Yang standing by the window, as if he was looking at the scenery outside, but when he looked closely, his eyes looked very confused, as if he didn't know where he had gone, and one of his hands was slightly bent and hung on the windowsill, and his white fingertips kept rubbing the same thing.

"If there can be family members and women in the army, will you really follow him?"

Shang Ruyi looked at his gentle and slightly frantic eyes, and his heart gradually sank.

Chu Yang looked at her for a while and said, "Did you send him off?"

She was silent, but the other party didn't intend to silence her, and let out a cold "um".

Doesn't this prove anything?

whereas

Chu Yang, who was still the crown prince at that time, led 300,000 troops across the Yangtze River, annihilated all the naval armies of Chen State in a battle, and directly hit the city of Jiangdu, capturing Chen Houzhu alive, and then successively recruited Sanwu, Lingnan and other places to dominate the world!

Even if he hadn't seen the sword and sword shadow, Shang Ruyi seemed to be able to imagine that more than ten years ago, the high-spirited Chu Yang stood in the Jiangdu City, looking at the scenery he had beaten down, how high-spirited.

"So, do you want to see the scenery of the South?"

"It can be seen that there are still too many people in this world."

It's just that this fairy's feet are full of blood!

Shang Ruyi knelt on the ground, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she couldn't speak, at this moment, she also completely understood that the deputy general guarding the city stopped and interrogated them when they entered and exited the city gate several times, who did he mean.

I don't know how long later, she finally heard a sound, it was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, a very light footstep sounded, getting closer and closer, and finally, a pair of white weaving feather step fairy shoes appeared in her sight.

He's talking about the Lei family's father and daughter? Is it Liang Shide?

「……」

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and sat in front of Shang Ruyi.

Even Yu Wenye was telling her that after years of war, the people were miserable, especially the three expeditions to Liaodong were almost swept away, and the people in the world were already seven empty even if they were not ten rooms and nine empty, and he actually said that there were still too many people in the world!

Shang Ruyi endured and endured, but after all, he couldn't help it, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty really thinks that people in the world ...... Is it much?"

Shang Ruyi's heart chuckled.

Her voice was almost the only sound in the Crane Tower.

Still is......

Shang Ruyi said, "Yes."

「…… What?"

If it is really like what Chu Yang said, Daxing City, that is, the real capital of the Daye Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect, and a country cannot even keep the national capital, how long can the national Zuo last?

Of course, maybe he had the foresight to build the eastern capital Luoyang, but now, Hebei has been lost, Bohai County is also rebelling, Luoyang is still in the hands of the imperial court at this time, it is more like an island, and if it continues, even if it is an island, it will be swallowed up!

Chu Yang suddenly walked up to her, leaned over to look at her, and a gentle smile like the warm sun of Sanchun appeared on his indifferent and arrogant face, and said, "Do you know, in fact, the good scenery is in the south."

No wonder, no wonder these days, more and more people are leaving Luoyang City.

….

「……」

「……」

But no one answered her, and after the voice was spoken, everything returned to an unbearable silence.

At this moment, Chu Yang suddenly came to her, the faces of the two people were almost close together, Shang Ruyi subconsciously retreated, but even if he retreated, he could clearly see that his eyes were slightly red, and he was both excited and happy.

That was more than ten years ago, although she was still young at that time, but the destruction of Chen was an earth-shattering event. In that year, the north and south of the Central Plains were divided, and the first emperor Chu Yin was eloquent and unified the north, while the descendants of the southern Chen State relied on the Yangtze River moat, indulged in wine, and gradually corrupted in the apricot blossom spring rain in the south.

However, before she could think about it, she heard Chu Yang say coldly, "If there are too many people, it is easy to make trouble."

「……」

「……」

It seems that what Yu Wenye told her has eased up a lot.

「……」

She thought for a moment and said softly, "I haven't seen it."

「……」

And this, is it still "too many people in the world"?!

Just when Shang Ruyi's heart was tingling, and he didn't even know how to speak, Chu Yang turned around again and said coldly, "I am already very disappointed in this place and these people."

Shang Ruyi's scalp tingled for a while.

「……！？」

"Isn't it much?"

"You forgot what I told you

Words?"

"There can be no family members in the army, let alone women, Ruyi still understands this very well."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Ruyi raised his head in disbelief and looked at him with wide eyes, and the person who said this sentence was still standing by the window, holding a glass in one hand, and bringing the faint aroma of wine to the end of his nose to enjoy, the appearance was cold and elegant, like a fairy inhaling wind and drinking dew.

「…… This time, he's gone far."

But now—

Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked up at him: "Your Majesty?"

She, of course, does.

At this time, Shang Ruyi realized that unlike the last time they met here, there was not a single brazier in this private room, and the sun had not yet come out at the moment, so it was as cold as an ice cellar.

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and said softly, "This—Ruyi didn't think about it."

"When I was still the crown prince, I used to wipe out Chen. Although the Chen Dynasty is weak, Jiangdu has good scenery, and it is no wonder that I have almost drunk in the scenery there when I have gone south several times."

"You probably don't know that I ordered the shipbuilding in Bohai County, and in less than half a month, the people there gathered 100,000 people and began to rebel; There are also people from Liang Shide and Wang Gangzhai - you should know all of this, Yu Wenye will not fail to tell you; As for Longmen, the rebellion in Shuduan was just put down last year, and this year, his cousin began to rebel again, and now he has joined forces with the Longyou Xue clan, and he wants to be in great success."

"The last time he went on an expedition, you still delivered it to the door, but this time, it was delivered to the gate of the city. It's hard to separate."

He asked, "Ruyi, have you seen the scenery of the south?"

Although he sat down, it didn't calm her down, and even, the wind from his sleeves hit Shang Ruyi's face directly, which also made her a little more sober - her guess was right.

"I almost thought you were going to follow him."

Chu Yang was also silent for a while, and after a while, he chuckled lightly and said, "You know very well how not to make me angry."

「……！」

Shang Ruyi was silent for a long time, and finally said softly, "I don't want to."

Chu Yang's brows twisted suddenly: "Why?"

Shang Ruyi said: "The scenery of the south can be seen at any time. But Ruyi, I still have to stay in the eastern capital and wait for my husband to come back."

Chu Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
