The blue sky and white clouds, the green swallows and rice fields, and the spiders crawling the silk are the feelings of summer in Song You's memory.

The Taoist walked along the mountain road with a bamboo cane.

gradually walked to the highest place on the official road.

Although it is not the top of the mountain, it is also high enough, a river below flows downstream, the three mountains are half falling outside the blue sky, the two waters are divided into Egret Island, the turbulent place rolls up the foam, the white is not scattered, it is really like a thousand piles of snow.

Song You couldn't help but stop and turned to look.

The sun shines brightly, reflecting a good scenery.

Suddenly he realized something, and turned his head to look ahead.

"Huh?"

The Taoist couldn't help frowning.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, the swallow standing on the horse's back next to him also looked ahead, and in doubt, he didn't say anything, and immediately flapped his wings and flew up, went to the clouds, and went to the road.

"Rumble ......"

There was a faint tremor in the earth, but it was not loud.

Voices echoed through the mountains.

"Brush ......"

The swallow flew over, flapped its wings and hovered in the air, and said to him, "Sir, there are two teams of men and horses chasing in front of us, both of whom look very elite, and are coming to us. ”

"Got it......"

"I don't know who it is."

"Who else could it be?"

Song You faintly felt something.

After a moment of silence, he led his horse back to the side of the road and stopped to watch.

The sound of neighing and horses' hooves soon became clear.

"Surrender or kill!"

"I can't run away!"

"How can the carriage run off the horse? Don't be quick to catch it! Let's go back to my hometown! ”

"How dare you kill the king? Great rebellion! ”

"Shoot that horse!"

Song You even heard the sound of knives and guns colliding.

The men and horses in front of him jumped into his eyes first.

At the forefront was a modest carriage, but if you look closely, you can still see that the horse is extraordinary. There were only dozens of horsemen left behind him, but they were all wearing helmets and armor, and they were strong and strong. People are elite, and the horses under them are also good horses, turning around from time to time to meet the enemy and shooting arrows backwards.

The guards are good at fighting, and the pursuers are also extraordinary.

Dayan has few troops, but they are all well-organized.

Arrows often came from behind, and even if the guards were wearing armor, they were pierced by strong bows and arrows, and they were pierced behind them like hedgehogs, and they fell off their horses one by one.

The people behind were right, the carriage couldn't outrun the horses.

The pursuers are getting closer, and the guards are getting fewer and fewer.

At the same time, the carriage was getting closer and closer to Song You and his party.

"Tosh!"

"Rumble ......"

There are often small pits and gravel on the official road, and the carriage is speeding and bumping, and the wind lifts the curtain tent, vaguely revealing that there is an old person sitting inside.

“……”

Song You stood on the side of the road, silent.

I really didn't think that I would meet this old emperor here in such a simple way.

At this time, he really couldn't help but wonder, did so many emperors in history who were defeated or fled and have never been heard from since then also passed by those who should have been ordinary in the midst of the rout? At that time, did those ordinary people realize that the one who passed by them once dominated the whole world? What I inadvertently saw was the whereabouts of the emperor that later generations could not guess?

"Parking ......"

The old emperor in the car shouted with the only strength he had left.

"Appeal ......"

The soldier who was driving the car suddenly stopped, turned around and lifted the curtain, and looked at the emperor.

But I saw the emperor probe out of the window:

"Sir save me ......"

His voice was old and weak.

At this time, he should be extremely glad that he remained awake at this time, and did not continue to fall asleep.

Song You stopped on the side of the road and also looked at him.

The soldiers behind him immediately caught up, and there were still more than twenty horsemen left, and they didn't understand why the old emperor stopped, but they immediately surrounded the carriage, looking at Song You and the pursuers behind him.

"Your Majesty, why stop?"

The pursuers then arrived, hundreds or thousands, and surrounded the carriages and their own soldiers.

The Taoist party was also surrounded by them.

"Are you going to be caught when you decide to tie it down?"

"Ridiculous! How dare you hunt down Your Majesty! ”

"What Your Majesty? Hugh is talking nonsense, everyone in the world knows that His Majesty was kidnapped by the fake prince and went to Yizhou, and he was just a traitor in the carriage, and he dared to pretend to be His Majesty, which was simply a big rebellion! ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Quickly retreat! Spare you from dying! ”

"Put down your sword! And spare you from dying! ”

Both sides shouted at each other, both ripping their throats.

The emperor didn't seem to hear this, so he only stretched his hand out of the carriage window, his eyes blank, staring directly at the Taoist outside.

"Sir, save me...... It can ensure that the world is not chaotic......"

The two sides of the confrontation outside were also stunned when they saw this.

Then he turned his head and looked at the young Taoist man in the old Taoist robe, the jujube red horse without reins behind him, the swallow standing on horseback, and the three-flowered cat at the bottom who stood up and looked at the old emperor.

A small number of forbidden soldiers who had been on duty in the palace vaguely found the figure of this Taoist from the depths of their memories, and a few captains who often listened to stories on weekdays felt that this group of people was strange and familiar.

"Who is you?"

A chasing soldier glared at Song You and asked.

"Don't be rude!"

Immediately, a burly general walked out, stopped the soldier, and then stared at Song You vigilantly, and then looked at the carriage.

"This gentleman! On the orders of the prince, we received the secret edict from the prince and His Majesty, and here we are chasing down the troubled ministers of the country! Mr. is an outsider, no matter how high his skills are, please don't care about mundane things, do it conveniently! ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Your Majesty is in the carriage! If the immortal master really has the ability, please save the people from fire and water, and help the building to fall! ”

All of a sudden, the tension between the two sides intensified.

The old emperor in the carriage seemed to be speechless, but still looked at the Taoist, his eyes had long been cloudy, his luster had not been lustered, and his hair was unkempt, which was very different from when he first met.

The Taoist was silent for a long time before he stepped forward with a cane.

The red horse followed him.

The pursuers were suddenly very nervous, each clenched his sword, and some even took a bow and wound it, but the general hurriedly stopped it.

The mountains were quiet again, and only the sound of the wind and the man could be heard.

"Your Majesty is much older again."

The voice of the Taoist is very calm, as if speaking to the old man.

"Sir...... Save ......"

"Your Majesty......"

Song You thought for a long time, and many words flashed in his mind for a while, but in the end, when he saw the emperor's old and weak appearance, he didn't accuse, but just said: "Your Majesty is so conceited......"

"Save me...... The prosperity of Dayan cannot be cut off here......"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. The prosperity of Dayan is destined to come to an end. Song You said calmly, "Dayan will end soon, but now is not the time." ”

"Sir...... Save ......"

"Why? Isn't this chosen by His Majesty himself? ”

"Don't let them get away with ......"

"Huh?"

"I am the co-ruler of the world...... Can't die outside the palace......"

“……”

Song You stared at the old emperor, was silent for a long time, and did not speak, just turned around and walked back to the horse.

Everyone was staring at his movements.

None of them are not nervous.

It was as if in their eyes, this unarmed Taoist had already decided their success or failure.

But I saw the Taoist put his hand into the coat, took out a dagger from it, his expression was still calm, and he turned to face the emperor:

"Your Majesty can recognize this?"

"What ......"

"Water jet, Zheng family's water jet."

“……”

The old emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes weakly.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and his voice was as small as a mosquito, just like a candle in the wind at this time, but he said, "I have a few questions, I want to ask Mr. ......"

"Please."

"After I die, can I still be the first emperor of the ages?"

“……”

Song You shook his head, he didn't expect that what he was most concerned about at this time was the name behind him, but he also replied patiently: "Only according to my humble opinion, the first emperor of the ages is probably not able to do it, and Your Majesty is not qualified to compare with Taizu." However, Dayan is so prosperous at this time, I think in the minds of future generations, His Majesty should also be an emperor. ”

"After I die...... And how? ”

"Haven't you had enough of the glory of your majesty?"

"Alas......"

"Anything else?"

"Da Yan can still ...... Is it stable? ”

"I'm just a Taoist, not an emperor, and I don't know about state affairs and world affairs."

Song You looked at him.

He didn't know if Da Yan would be stable, but he hoped that Da Yan would be stable for the time being.

If you want to mess up, you have to wait until he finishes settling the matter of the Heavenly Palace.

That's when it was good.

That's when it's best.

When the emperor heard this, he narrowed his eyes again, as if most of his last bit of strength had gone, and finally opened his eyes and asked without giving up: "Sir, do you really want to be a cold bystander?" ”

“……”

Song You stared at him for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty has asked me so many questions, and I also have a question that I want to ask Your Majesty." ”

"What?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that when Your Majesty chose the crown prince, the captain of the Wude Division who was beheaded by King Shun with a sword?"

"What do you want to say......"

"I want to ask Your Majesty, is life still precious at this time?"

“……”

"What's more, Your Majesty laughed. Your Majesty is very amazing, and King Shun is also your Majesty's own person, these officers and soldiers will arrest you back, and they may not dare to kill the king. Song You retracted his gaze, his expression still calm, "It's just that with Your Majesty's body, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back to the Changjing Palace." ”

“……”

The old emperor could only look at him, speechless.

"But the true character of the great hero is a true celebrity. If Your Majesty really feels that he is the first emperor of the ages, and the ending has been decided at this time, why do you need to say more. The Taoist said as he turned around with his cane, "Order the captains to give up resistance, whoever ascends to the throne in the future will have nothing to do with you, and your old age is no longer guaranteed, so don't waste so many lives in vain." ”

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him.

Others whispered and asked who he was.

Many people have heard stories from the northern army, or heard legends from other places, and when they guessed a little, they only dared to whisper.

Song You ignored it and continued to move forward with a cane.

Jujube red horses and three-flowered cats are close behind.

"Whoa......

Numerous officers and soldiers made way for him.

There was a faint commotion behind him.

It's a pity that this group of palace guards are all carefully selected masters of fighting, loyal to the emperor, even so, they have to fight to the death, unwilling to surrender.

This is probably the end of this emperor.

Song You felt that he had no intention of helping the emperor.

I don't know what King Shun's original order was, and whether he would take the emperor back, but even if he refused to let the emperor return to Changjing, he couldn't blatantly kill the king. A king has a king's way to die, not to mention that this is not only his father, but also an emperor who created the prosperous era of Dayan with his own hands. It's like the chasing soldiers are obviously chasing after each other, but no one dares to admit that they are chasing the emperor.

Even if you want to kill the king, you have to have a fig leaf.

Now that Song You had a conversation with the emperor, all the pursuers present knew that this was indeed the emperor, and the main general did not dare to start easily.

The emperor will not live for a few days, and it can be regarded as leaving him some dignity.

It's an old friend's affection.
