The lights are flickering, and the swaying light quietly illuminates the furnishings in the hall, Dugu Jialuo pulled up his sleeves, stood up, looked left and right, not to mention seeing the shadows, there was not even a trace of superfluous movement, and the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides bowed their heads were also motionless, like a clay statue.

"Your Majesty...... The concubine didn't hear the voice of the national teacher. ”

She didn't dare to say that the emperor had heard it wrong, so she turned her head with a bead hairpin, but her husband, who was leaning on the head of the bed, stretched out his feet and had the strength to sit on the edge of the bed.

Seeing this scene, where did the queen care about the national teacher and voice, she hurriedly went up to help, squatted down with a long skirt, and persuaded Yang Jian to put on her shoes.

"Your Majesty, your body hasn't healed yet, how can you go to the ground..... It's easy to get a wind chill when you touch the ground barefoot......"

As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were wet red, and his words were choked, and the emperor who was sitting on the edge of the bed looked at his wife who was buried in helping him put on shoes and socks, and unconsciously stroked her green silk, and his fingertips ran over strands of hair, not only sighed.

"Galo, you still have green hair, but I have gray hair. ”

"The concubine just ripped off the white hair that grew out, and when she grew one, she pulled one out....." Dugu Jialuo raised his face, squeezed out a little smile with red eyes, and went over to take off the dragon robe hanging on the shelf, and came over to put it on for her husband and tie it with a jade belt.

"If you don't pull it, maybe it's more than Your Majesty's gray hair. ”

These words made the emperor over there laugh, and he nodded with a false finger: "You..... Or will you make me happy...... And only you know what I like to hear. ”

Feeling that his wife turned to the back to sort out his robe and clothes for himself, and to take the imperial crown, Yang Jian waved his hand.

"That's not necessary, just see the national teacher alone, don't be so grand, queen, you go back to the palace to rest." ”

"Yes. ”

There are probably some things to say, Dugu Jialuo wanted to say, but her husband, who knew about it, didn't want to let herself stay here, so she had to bow down, open the door of the hall and retreat, and then raise her face, in the dim light of the hall, Yang Jian's figure was hidden little by little between the slowly closed doors until it disappeared.

"Your Majesty......"

Dugu Jialuo covered her mouth, almost cried, and did not leave, but walked to the side of the temple door, and her son Yang Guang helped her to sit on the chair that was moved.

"Queen Mother, it's okay, the national teacher will be here later, and my father will definitely be fine. ”

The woman didn't speak, just shook her head.

The hundreds of civil and military officials below, many of whom followed Yang Jian all the way down this magnificent mountain and river, saw the woman's low crying look, raised their heads one by one, closed their eyes, and sighed.

In the silence and sighs, everyone suddenly felt a wisp of wind blowing by their side, and when someone raised their heads, they saw a vague figure passing straight through the middle of the civil and military forces on both sides.

"Yes..... National Teacher ....."

Before the man finished speaking, Min Changwen on the side stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "At this juncture, don't say much." ”

Under the eaves of the palace, Yang Guangyu, who was comforting his mother, also felt it, and in the deflected sight, the blurred figure was condensed under the eaves, and it was Lu Liangsheng who rushed back all the way.

Nodding to the queen and prince on the side, he didn't push the door, he stepped out of the way and walked directly through the palace gate, and his whole body followed closely.

In the dimly lit dormitory, Yang Jian was sitting on a large chair surrounded by carved golden dragons in a dragon robe, and when he heard the slight sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The national teacher is here?"

"Chen Lu Liangsheng, it's too late. ”

The scholar who came in through the door of the temple saw the figure sitting there, reflecting the candlelight, even though there was some blood on his face, but after all, it was still gray, and his lips were blue, which was a sign that the oil had run out.

"Huh...... No one can say for sure, even I don't know when I will fall, and the national teacher will sit down and talk. ”

Yang Jian raised his hand and waved it, asked the palace maid to bring a chair, and invited Lu Liangsheng to sit down, seeing that he also had a solemn expression, his chuckle turned into a laugh.

"The life and death of people are determined by heaven, and besides, they are not dead at the moment, why should the national teacher have the same expression as them. ”

The loud laughter spread outside, making the ministers, queens, princes, and clan relatives waiting outside stunned, and they didn't understand for a while, how His Majesty laughed.

"Maybe I think of something glad about......" someone whispered.

Dormitory.

After the old man's words were finished, he was quiet for a while, Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand and took out a wisp of mana, probed the other party's wrist, and felt that it was a body that was about to lose its vitality, and his face was a little gloomy after all, although he was a person in the Tao, he could not compare to those fellow Taoists who had cultivated for tens or hundreds of years, and he could not be the kind of person who was about to die, and he was indifferent, not to mention that people can only be regarded as human beings if they have joys and sorrows.

"Can Your Majesty really face death calmly?"

"Huh..... Why can't I, I dared to go to the battlefield back then, and I would die at any time, I have already seen through it. ”

Yang Jian smiled, then pursed his lips, his eyes were a little wandering, he looked at Lu Liangsheng opposite, and shook his head slightly.

"But..... I'm also afraid that my time is too short, and the country and society that have been beaten down haven't taken a good look at her, and she hasn't dressed her up more beautifully. ”

Looking straight ahead, tears flowed down his eyes, wetting his clothes.

The flickering candle flame shone on the old man's face, the withered hand wiped the tears from his cheeks, and the body leaning back in the chair trembled slightly, and he was slightly hunched weakly.

"The world is sinister, and soldiers meet each other..... I can't see how far this Sui country has gone, the national teacher ..... The rest is up to you, Amour is very smart and driven, that is, ..... The more things to do..... I want to do it as soon as possible...... Somewhat impatient...... In the future, restrain him for me, and if you can't hear people's words, you will beat him for me...... Until you wake up!"

Lu Liangsheng looked at the old man, sighed, closed his eyes slightly and nodded.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. ”

In the candlelight, Yang Jian saw the scholar nodding in agreement, and laughed again, as if he had exhausted his last strength, he didn't say anything again, put his hands on his knees, sat up straight, and slowly closed his eyes with a smile.

The old man finished the last journey of his life.

........

A few miles away from Chang'an, Yang Su whipped through the mountains and dense forests, suddenly 'whirred', tightened the reins, stood on the edge of Ma Weishui, looked up at the starry sky, a bright star dimmed, dragged a long tail, and fell into the night sky.

"Your Majesty..... Your Majesty......"

Yang Su's lips trembled, his eyes were filled with tears, he jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground in the direction where the stars fell, knocked his forehead down, choked up, and cried out loudly.

"Brother Yang Su...... Send my brother!!"

The man's hysterical cry echoed in the night for a long time.

........

Chang'an Imperial City.

In the quiet dormitory, Lu Liangsheng could see the old man opposite, the vitality disappeared little by little, this was the first time he faced the death of an old man, when the teacher died, he was still in the Northern Zhou, what he felt was far less intense than now.

After a moment, the scholar stood up, waved his sleeves and arched his hands, bowed to the old man sitting on the dragon chair.

"Minister, send your majesty. ”

The next second.

Yang Jian, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly opened his eyes and saw the scholar who bowed down on the opposite side, and got up from the chair at once.

"National Teacher, I'm not ......"

Stretched out his hand to help Lu Liangsheng, but his hand went straight through the other party's arm, his expression was stunned for a moment, and he looked back at the dragon chair he had sat on just now.

His body was still sitting there, his eyes closed.

"I ..... I..... Really dead?"

The old man looked down at his palm, which was no different from before, and at this moment, Lu Liangsheng's words sounded in his ears.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed dead. ”

Lu Liangsheng stood over there and naturally saw the emperor who turned into a soul, but in the eyes of the dead emperor, the national teacher opposite was different from what he saw with the naked eye in the past.

There is a circle of light blue magic light around his body, and his eyebrows are in the middle, like a vertical light of the human eye, and there are faintly many stars twinkling behind him, arranging different stars of different sizes.

"National teacher, how ...... you look?"

"This is Your Majesty who has just died, mixed between the living soul and the dead soul, so that you can see the appearance of the minister, and the people in the cultivator call it the appearance of the body. ”

Lu Liangsheng explained, maybe the words of the old man's death just now made him feel in his heart, and stretched out his hand to take the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Chenghuang will not pick you up yet, and the minister will finally take you to see the prosperous night scene of Chang'an. ”
