Chapter 52: Heartlessness
The Forbidden City is located in all directions.
The Iron Blood Palace sits in the middle of the Forbidden City, cold and inoffensive.
Among them, there is a tall tower that is more than a thousand feet high, standing proudly like a giant dragon climbing the sky, looking down on all directions with cold eyes. This high platform has an extraordinary origin, and it is rumored that it existed when the iron-blooded country was founded, and it is the ancestor of the iron-blooded royal family from generation to generation, and it cannot tolerate a trace of desecration.
The tower is majestic, and it is not allowed to enter unless the ancestors are worshipping the sky.
Of course, this rule can't bind everyone, and there are still people who can disobey this rule, for example, the Iron Emperor.
Above the sky, the fire is blazing.
Above this tower, the air is light and the smoke and rain are hazy.
"Really, are you leaving?"
On top of the tower, a man stood with his hands in his hands, frowning, leaning against the railing and looking into the distance. The man wore a loose yellow robe, his hair loosely tied with a band, and his hands tucked into his sleeves.
"Really, are you leaving?"
The man didn't reply, still saying this, but asked again. His voice was steady and his expression was calm, but under his loose robe, his body trembled a little at the moment.
"Hey"
For a long time, so long that the air was about to freeze, and in the air, there was a soft sigh.
This sigh, one sigh and nine turns, contains too many inexplicable emotions.
"Why? You have to be so ruthless!"
This sigh, like a broken silver bottle, roared in the man's ears, and even more in his heart. Hearing this sigh, the man suddenly let out a loud shout, he turned around violently, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time all burst out at this moment, his expression was hideous, and the muscles on his face were beating unconsciously, twisted to a terrifying extent.
"Why?
The man asked many whys, and there was a faint look of panic and anxiety on his hideous and distorted face.
Anxious?
How can it be anxious?
Who is he, his iron-blooded emperor, the lord of a country!
He rules the world, a word can take people's lives, a word can judge people's fate, he is the son of heaven, a five-clawed golden dragon, the father of a country, and the king of tens of millions.
In this way, how can he be anxious, how can he be anxious!
In his life, how many winds and waves have he experienced, hasn't he already practiced iron courage and copper heart, and everything is not visible?
Today, how can you be anxious?
However, he knew that no matter how much he defended, he would be useless after all.
Well, in that case, let's admit that we are anxious, and there is no shame in it.
The Iron Emperor raised his head and looked at the woman ten steps away in a daze.
How many years have passed, she is still as beautiful as the first time I saw her.
The Iron Emperor remembered that when he traveled thousands of miles and fled in embarrassment, it was in such a rainy weather that he saw this woman as beautiful as a portrait, her beauty, beauty in the ethereal, beauty in Yuxiu, a smile and a smile, like a fairy in the sky.
"Hey!"
Still sighed softly, as if the woman had nothing else to say except sighing.
She also stared at him stunned, in the smoke and rain breeze, her sleeve robe danced with her, and she was silent for a long time. She just watched quietly, looking at this familiar face, but at the moment she put on a hideous and terrifying appearance.
Who to scare?
The woman suddenly said such a witty sentence in her heart, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. That year, when this kid rolled down the hillside with a disgraced face, wasn't he so hurried and at a loss?
"Hey!"
The smoke and rain were hazy, and the ribbons were fluttering, and the woman suddenly turned around and walked away. From beginning to end, she had no words other than three lamentations.
"Why?"
The Iron Emperor clenched his fists behind him and roared with his neck thick: "Why are you so ruthless? Why don't you even give me a chance to say a word, do you have to be so indifferent?"
"Listen to the cold, read the cold, I called you, you come back for me!"
The Iron Emperor's roar didn't hold the ethereal figure in the end, she fluttered and moved like flowing water.
Yes, she is the clearest and most beautiful living water in heaven and earth!
The Iron Emperor fixed his eyes and let out a slight sigh, there was no one around, but he suddenly asked, "Uncle Yin, do you think I'm wrong?"
There was no answer in the void, and the Iron Emperor also stood with his hands in his hands after speaking, but there was more excitement and anticipation in his eyes when he looked up at the sky.
After a long time, I don't know how much time has passed, the sun has deflected in the west, and the vision in the sky has dissipated for a long time, and suddenly there is an old sigh in the air.
"On the east wall of Han'er, there are two lines of large characters. ”
What are two lines of big characters? It's just two lines of big characters! In this world, big characters are measured by lines, and they are very high-end and high-grade?
What's the big deal?
But these words hit the Iron Emperor's heart like a meteorite, his body trembled, and under the shock of his heart, he staggered, and after taking a few steps back, he sat on the root of the wall.
"If you win, I will accompany you to reign in the world"
The Iron Emperor's words were dry, as if he was chanting with a throat that had not drunk water for 10,000 years, and he held the green wall, and his ten fingers turned white with all his strength.
"If you lose, I'll accompany you to make a comeback"
Word by word, the Iron Emperor's face was hideous, as if he had a deep hatred with him, these words were swallowed, the roots of his teeth were tight, and his teeth were cracked.
Listen to Han, did you never think that in addition to winning or losing, I might abandon you and marry her?
Because you never thought about it, so you showed such a confused expression when you knew? So at that time, you held Xuan'er's little hand, but you didn't even raise your hand to tell her that this was her father's strength?
So, are you so disappointed in me?
"Ahh!!hh
The Iron Emperor suddenly let out a roar, kneeling on his knees, like a midnight beast, roaring wildly.
"I don't want to, I really don't want to! Back then, why did I make that decision, this is definitely not what I want, not what I want, listen to Han!"
――――――――――――――――――――――
The bamboo forest sandwiched the road, although there was no falling Ying, but this green scenery still made Qin Zhang feel relaxed and happy.
"Eh, naughty again!"
Qin Zhang scolded lightly, patted Fang Zheng's head, and slapped off the bamboo branch in his hand with one hand. This bastard kid actually used a bamboo branch to provoke a spotted snake, which of the things in the Lianyun Mountains is easy to get along?
You can see that after the snake was photographed off, its body ran like lightning, and you knew that it was not a good stubble. If he had given Fang Zheng a kiss with a lightning flash just now, this kid's life would have been over.
"Whoa!"
Qin Zhang knew that this kid had never been a worry-free master. Here was Qin Zhang slapped the snake off his hand, and over there he jumped to pick up a boulder covered with moss, and spit out the delicate flower underneath.
"Let's go, let's go, there's still no end? How old is a person, still like a child, has he been locked up a lot since he was a child or has his head clamped too much?"
Qin Zhang scolded disdainfully, stretched out his hand and held Fangzheng's little hand in the palm of his hand, dragging it to the top of the mountain.
"Eh, are you scolding children like that, are you being a babysitter like this?"
In just one day, Fang Zheng was already familiar with Qin Zhang, or rather, he had started playing! No matter what, Fang Zheng's name was liked by Qin Zhang from the bottom of his heart, and he naturally had no scruples when he spoke, and the word "nanny" came out by himself.
"Another iron egg, irritable!"
Qin Zhang muttered to himself, but ignored Fang Zheng's yelling, and dragged him to prevent him from running around again.
"Woo, Qin Zhang, you abuse children, I'm going to sue you!"
Fang Zheng screamed, but his eyes were wide open, and he looked around curiously. He suddenly felt that it was not bad to follow Qin Zhang, at least he was not so free by Senior Brother Nan's side, this was not allowed to be done, that was not allowed to be done, this was enough!
I'm going out on a long journey, I'm so easy!
"Ah, grandpa!"
Suddenly, Fang Zheng let out a loud scream, violently broke free of Qin Zhang's palm, and shouted at the top of the mountain not far away, he waved his arms, and was a little crazy with excitement.
"Crazy?"
As soon as these two words came out of Qin Zhang's heart, he immediately shouted that it was not good, his body was tense, and he put his arms upright in a defensive posture.
Sure enough, Fang Zheng ran to the white-haired old man's side, holding the old man's arm and muttering a few words in his ear. The old man straightened up, looking at Fang Zheng's eyes as cold as ice. Fang Zheng stood aside with his head down, pretending to be aggrieved with his mouth open, but his eyes were full of excitement.
Beat him, beat him!
Qin Zhang understood this excitement, he pursed his lips, and decided that after dealing with the white-haired old man, he would definitely catch Fang Zheng, a loser, and give him a hard beating.
Just when the scene was getting colder and colder, and the battle was about to break out, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the top of the mountain.
Hearing this laughter, Qin Zhang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, he raised his eyes and saw Zhao Kunteng's tall and strong figure appear in sight.
"Good boy!"
Zhao Kunteng punched Qin Zhang's chest fiercely, and in response, Qin Zhang bared his teeth and punched Zhao Kunteng in the chest with the same smile.
"Oh, good boy!"
Zhao Kunteng's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but burst out of laughter again: "Hahaha, good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm getting more and more manly, it seems that Lao Tzu taught well, ahahaha!"
this
Zhao Kunteng's words made the monkey speechless for a while: Qin boy is manly, it's your business!
He stood in the distance and didn't come, but the smile on his lips still made Qin Zhang feel warm. Qin Zhang nodded, and responded with a smile to all the dragon claw soldiers in the distance, among them, Scar leaned lightly against the big bear, and also showed an appreciative look at Qin Zhang.
"Elder Qiao, everyone is here, you can prepare to open the secret realm!"
At the top of the mountain, the monkey whispered. Hearing this, the white-headed Elder Qiao nodded slightly, he twisted his square ears, regardless of his pretended grinning.
This bastard boy is fooling the old man again.
Elder Qiao scolded in his heart, his eyes were leisurely, and he looked directly at Chen Haonan and his party who appeared at the foot of the mountain.
