Mo Wuwu never thought that he would capsize in the gutter, he originally planned to track to a hidden place and rescue the two teenagers who were framed by himself, but he never expected that these people would turn into an abandoned garden halfway, listening to their tone at the time, it seemed that they wanted to kill the two teenagers on the way, so as not to bring them back to trouble, after all, they also knew that most of the time it was not these two teenagers who were sarcastic. And he wouldn't have been fooled, but when he heard a teenager's loud scream, the clear eyes of that delicate young man immediately appeared in his mind, and he jumped into it desperately as soon as his brain was hot. As a result, there was a trap laid inside, five or six first-class masters were in charge, and more than a dozen second-rate masters were scattered and surrounded, under the siege of five or six first-class masters of Chunshuitang, the light skills he was proud of could no longer be displayed, Mo Wuwu almost wanted to scold himself, how could he want to be a good person for no reason, so that he would let his world-famous magic hand fall to the point where he is now.

The abandoned garden is about the size of several acres, the garden is barren and smoky, broken tiles and ruins, but there are countless wild chrysanthemums, after the frost and snow, they are still holding on to the remnants, withering in the branches, and in front of a vacant lot specially sorted out in the garden, there is a crumbling pavilion, and the broken steps have been flooded by the barren grass. At this moment, watching the battle in the pavilion is a beautiful girl, with a green Luo shirt and a red ribbon, her spirit is flying between Gu Pan, and her eyes are as tender as water.

And in the grass on the left side of the pavilion, Yang Ning leaned on the rocks with an indifferent expression, his body was intact, and there were no scars except for some soil, and Xiao San's chest was already full of blood, and he was lying on his back on the ground unconscious, naturally no one would pay attention to them anymore, even Mo Wuwu, who wanted to save people, only had the idea of escaping alone at the moment, so no one came to make up for them.

Yang Ning, who was still pointed at the acupoint in the eyes of others and couldn't move, was just looking at the battle in front of him with a bystander attitude, which was not a fierce battle in his eyes, originally he planned to kill all these people who dared to offend him when he got to a secluded place, and then threatened Xiao San not to say it, or simply lit his faint point at the beginning, so that he would not know what he had done. But he didn't expect these people to take the initiative to bring the two of them to this deserted abandoned garden, and an ambush had been set up here, and he also noticed that someone was tracking his group, so he couldn't help but not make a move. After arriving at the abandoned garden, the woman in charge only glanced at him and Xiao San, and then shot Xiao San's thigh with a flying knife, Xiao San's screams attracted the old man who was the culprit, and then began the siege in front of him, and the two of them were ignored and forgotten by everyone. By this time, Yang Ning had already learned from the words of those people who occasionally scolded and threatened that they had simply set up an ambush here, deliberately luring people like the old man who were dissatisfied with the Chibi Alliance of Chunshui Hall to enter the trap, but the two of them were victimized by the pond fish. These people are really cautious, and there are people watching outside the fence.

Seeing that Mo Wuwu had gradually become unable to support it, and had suffered several minor injuries on his body, Yang Ning finally became impatient, and was about to get up and make a move to solve this boring farce, suddenly, he found that Xiao San, who had been in a coma for a long time, actually opened his eyes, and looked at each other, Xiao San's eyes were dull, and it seemed that it took a long time to see Yang Ning's appearance clearly, and then, this originally clever and lively teenager leaked a difficult smile, opened his mouth and whispered: "Xu Gongzi, you are fine, don't worry, Xiao San is here to save you." ”

Yang Ning only felt a bang in his head, almost dumbfounded, he watched Xiao San curl up with difficulty in a daze, pulled out the flying knife inserted in his leg, and then tore off the placket to bandage the thigh where the blood flow had stopped, and after panting for a long time, he crawled over and hugged Yang Ning's body, knelt down with difficulty, bent over and dragged Yang Ning to move inch by inch behind the pavilion, trying not to make a sound, just climbed a few steps forward, and the soil on the ground was already splashed with drops of blood. Yang Ning heard Xiao San comforting in his ear: "Fortunately, my acupoint was somehow washed away, Xu Gongzi, don't be afraid, they are busy fighting and won't find us." ”

Yang Ning didn't fully sober up until this time, and there were thousands of things in his mind, and there was only this naughty boy in front of him who was seriously injured. He was originally indifferent and very temperamental, and he didn't care about the life and death of other people, plus because he hated Xiao San's actions, so he didn't come to the rescue in the restaurant, and even the hostess just shot Xiao San with a flying knife, he didn't stop him, but he just ordered a few acupoints in Xiao San afterwards, so that he wouldn't bleed to death, and he didn't break his ban. Unexpectedly, once this young man came to his senses, the first thing he thought of was to save himself, not considering that he was older and taller than him, and he was desperate to escape with him. Unconsciously, Yang Ning's eyes have become more warm and respectful, this is the first time, he has respect for a person with a low status and ordinary martial arts, no longer as a matter of nothingness, no longer a killing heart.

At this moment, the Qi Lao who had originally captured them flashed his eyes, and inadvertently saw Xiao San's moving figure, and with a sneer, he said sharply: "What a big dog, you dare to escape at this time." With that, he hurriedly stepped forward and slashed at the two teenagers, these two kidnapped teenagers were just bait for them to attract the main master, so he didn't need to ask Miss Qiao, who was in charge, to kill him.

In a flash of the knife, Qi Laoer's tall body suddenly stagnated, and then suddenly threw down the steel knife, grabbed his throat with his backhand, a face became iron blue, his facial features were prominent, his face became extremely hideous, and his mouth let out a howl, staggered back a few steps, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and finally died, but at this time, his tongue had already stretched out, obviously suffocating to death.

This shocking change attracted everyone's attention, including Mo Wuwu, who was too busy to take care of himself, and moved his eyes to this direction, only to see that the handsome young man who had fallen to the ground was slowly standing up, holding a bloodied little guy in his hand, his expression was very cold, he looked around everyone coldly, and anyone who came into contact with his substantial gaze felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. The young man slowly walked towards the pavilion where the girl in green clothes stood, not startled, but every step he took made people feel their hearts tremble.

Miss Qiao, who was in charge, looked at Yang Ning thoughtfully, and said coldly: "It turned out to be a good hand at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I didn't expect that this girl actually hung a big fish, who is Your Excellency, why do you want to be embarrassed by my Chunshui Hall, aren't you afraid of a thousand cuts?"

Yang Ning looked at her coldly, and didn't see how he moved, his body had already arrived in the pavilion, and the girl Qiao only felt a flower in front of her, and she knew that it was not good, so she went backhanded, but she only felt a sharp pain in her chest, and before she could understand it, she was already shocked by a palm and rolled to the ground, at this time, the others had long been unable to care about Mo Wuwu, but just divided a few people to surround Mo Wuwu, and the rest of the people lined up in a semicircle to surround the pavilion, and a few people stepped forward to support the girl in Tsing Yi. The woman struggled to her feet, stretched out her hand to push away the subordinates beside her, and said sharply, "Who are you?" Before he finished speaking, blood was already dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Yang Ning ignored her scolding, gently put Xiao San on the bench in the pavilion, looked down at Xiao San's shocked eyes, and said lightly: "Didn't you scold me for being a demon murderer in the restaurant? Why don't you know who I am at this moment?"

There was the sound of weapons falling in their ears, and several of Chunshuitang's subordinates dropped their blades in fear in fear, and the others were no better, they were all dumbfounded and horrified, and Miss Qiao's pretty face had become snow-white, and even Mo Wuwu almost stared at her eyes the size of a copper bell. And Xiao San's body also began to tremble, and the eyes looking at Yang Ning became extremely strange.

Yang Ning laughed in a low voice, but that laughter contained murderous intent, without a trace of joy, he bowed his head and said to Xiao San: "What are you afraid of? I don't want to kill you, otherwise wouldn't it be good to watch your head cut off?"

Xiao San was so frightened that he couldn't speak at this time, and he stumbled for a long time before he stumbled: "You, you, are the Demon Emperor, the demon who kills people like hemp?"

Yang Ning said gently: "Naturally, it is my sister-in-law, the daughter of General Yin, who is crazy in blood, and the sword peerless Qingping, one of the two peers in Dongting." I don't have many real relatives in this world, only my two sisters, who are my relatives in life and death, and if anyone offends them, I will leave that person's bones gone. ”

Xiao San was even more frightened when he heard this, but Yang Ning's words were not directed at him, his eyes swept over the big men who were making nonsense in the restaurant one by one, and he raised his head and said lightly: "You are so bold, it's just a matter of insulting you, and you dare to insult Qingping, if I don't kill you today, I'm really sorry for myself." Before the words fell, his figure had turned into light smoke, and it flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and the screams came and went, but in the snap of his fingers, two people had already fallen to the ground, except for a little red mark on his throat, there were no other scars.

Miss Naqiao reacted very quickly, and shouted, "Everyone run away." Then the red silk on his waist had turned into clouds, and he was entangled with Yang Ning's faint and hidden figure, and all the subordinates of Chunshuitang were scattered and fled in a daze, but a few masters rushed towards Yang Ning, not because they had the hope of winning, but because they had different identities, if they abandoned the main business and fled, they would be severely punished even if they were lucky, but it was better to give up their lives and seek a chance to survive.

The red silk rolled like a dragon snake, and the sword shadow and sword light went towards Yang Ning, and in this short moment, two more people had already died in Yang Ning's hands. Yang Ning had already expected this situation, he deliberately did not kill the heroine, just to tie up the footsteps of others, seeing that everything was as he wished, Yang Ning snatched a steel knife with his long arm, and smashed the man's heart with a palm by the way, and then moved lightly with both hands, the steel knife had turned into countless fragments, Yang Ning jumped up, gently swept over Miss Qiao's red silk, and lightly touched her shoulder, Miss Qiao screamed, her shoulder bones shattered, and her delicate body fell soft, but Yang Ning ignored those Chunshuitang masters who sacrificed their lives to protect Miss Qiao, waved his hand again and again, and beat the steel knife fragments in his hand as a hidden weapon, and the screams in the abandoned garden came and went, the farthest one had already run to the door, but was killed by a hidden weapon that went deep into the back of the head.

Xiao San looked at Mo Wuwu blankly, not knowing what to say. Mo Wuwu sighed, turned his head to look at the killing on that side, all the people didn't even have a chance to escape, they were taken by the young man one by one, and the only surviving Miss Qiao became a burden to those people, in order to protect the main matter, the masters of Chunshui Hall jumped into the ghost gate one after another, whether it was sacrificing their lives to stop them, or breaking their arms to survive, it was useless. At one point, they wanted to escape through the desperate efforts of some people, and protect the beautiful and poisonous Qiao girl, but they were easily stopped by the young and beautiful young man, and this abandoned garden, which was originally used as an ambush trap by Chunshui Hall, became a hell for them to struggle to survive. Mo Wuwu didn't want to take the opportunity to run for his life, after all, he also offended the Demon Emperor, but as a Jianghu person, he knew the rumors of the Demon Emperor too well, no matter which Demon Emperor he was, he didn't have a good temper to repay his grievances with virtue, if he stayed, maybe there would be a chance to apologize for his crimes, if he escaped, even if he was lucky for a while, he would always worry about the Demon Emperor's revenge in the future, so he stayed and tried to grasp the only life-saving straw. Although he still doesn't know the relationship between Yang Ning and Xiao San, with his experience, he naturally found that Yang Ning at this moment seems to be very concerned about Xiao San.

Mo Wuwu can think of this, and others can naturally think of it, but these secret agents of Chunshuitang have a deeper understanding of Yang Ning, and naturally know that hostage-taking may not be a good way, so no one came over to want to hold Xiao San hostage, but when it comes to life and death, they have to try any hope. Miss Qiao didn't care about the pain and cold sweat, under the cover of her subordinates, she escaped for a while, and suddenly waved the red silk with all her strength, attacking Xiao San, Mo Wuwu hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it, unexpectedly, Miss Qiao shot with all her strength this time, and the red silk that shook off was like a cloud dragon flying, and in an instant, Mo Wuwu's arm was wrapped and wrapped around Xiao San's neck, Xiao San was also a little skilled in martial arts, trying his best to dodge, but he was seriously injured and his martial arts were low, and he moved slightly, his neck was firmly entangled by Red Aya, and the moment Hong Aya got his hand, he had begun to contract, and he felt as if he was tightly strangled by a rope, Xiao San breathed hard, and felt that his lungs were about to explode due to lack of air。 At this time, Mo Wuwu turned his wrist and made a move, and the tight red silk made a cracking sound, and Mo Wuwu, who did not use a blade, had a dagger hidden in his sleeve that could be hidden in his palm. However, although most of the red silk was broken, there was a shining silver thread as thin as a hair that had not been broken, and because of the loss of the cushion of the silk cloth, the tough and sharp silver thread left a blood mark on Mo Wuwu's arm, which was due to the fact that he stopped it quickly, but there were already blood marks on Xiao San's neck. At this moment, Miss Qiao's body suddenly stiffened, and she felt a palm gently pinching the back of her neck, and the icy cold made her cold hair stand up. And there was no longer the original continuous screaming and moaning in his ears.

Although she felt that death was approaching, Miss Qiao still couldn't help but leak a trace of joy from the bottom of her heart, and finally grasped the only chance of life, she would not be mistaken, although she didn't understand why the Demon Emperor let herself kill the young man, but she clearly remembered that when the Demon Emperor leaked his true face, he showed a rare warmth to the young man, although it was hidden under the indifferent expression, but as a disciple of the ** sect, she was the best at speculating about the man's intentions, and she would never misunderstand. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have sacrificed everyone's lives desperately to get a chance to take hostages. All she wants is to live, and I believe that the Demon Emperor will not sacrifice a person who values her very much for her own small wish.

But before she could speak, a cold voice came from behind her: "You are also a disciple of the ** Sect, why are your martial arts so bad, there are still silver threads mixed in the red silk, so opportunistic, no wonder your martial arts are not as good as Qiu Suhua's Sancheng." ”

Miss Qiao's heart suddenly brightened, she remembered Qiu Suhua's ear before leaving, and immediately knew that what she was doing now was really self-defeating, and her mind turned, her jade wrist turned lightly, and the silver silk and red silk were wrapped around her waist, and when she started, she could feel that the hand that restrained the back of her neck moved slightly, but the internal force was withdrawn, and she knew that she really did not guess the wrong person's mind. After taking back the red silk, she didn't look back, knelt down on one knee and said: "** Zong Qiaoyun knocked on the emperor, the disciples were offended, I hope the emperor will remember the feelings of the same door and forgive one or two." ”

Yang Ning was slightly stunned, although he was not surprised that Qiao Yun immediately stopped, in fact, even if Qiao Yun really made a move, he was sure that he would restrain Qiao Yun before he killed Xiao San, the reason why he didn't make a move immediately was just because he thought that this woman was also a disciple of the Demon Gate, so he didn't want to force her to go to the extreme immediately, he didn't expect this woman to be so simple, she didn't even use the hostage to coerce herself, which obviously had a good chance of winning, just so simply admit defeat and admit guilt, and put on a posture of being at her own disposal, such ice and snow cleverness, so that Yang Ning couldn't help but feel good。

Of course, if it was a few hours ago, Yang Ning still only had pure black and white in his mind, whether he wanted to kill someone or save someone, he didn't want to pay attention to that person's mind at all, but after the matter of Xiao San, he unconsciously changed, and he was unsure about whether to kill Qiao Yun. However, although there was hesitation in his heart, his expression did not show the slightest hint, and he didn't pay attention to Qiao Yun who was kneeling, walked past her and the nervous Mo Wuwu, walked to Xiao San's side, and visited his injury, then turned his head and said coldly: "Qiao Yun, do you have other subordinates here?"

Qiao Yun was slightly stunned, raised his head and said, "Emperor Qiqi, the subordinates I brought this time are all here." Speaking of this, her expression was also a little gloomy, although she was extremely ruthless, but seeing so many subordinates die tragically at the hands of Yang Ning, she still couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, but she was very afraid of Yang Ning, and she didn't dare to leak hatred from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Yang Ning frowned slightly when he heard this, and said coldly: "You have the courage to watch outside, why don't you have the courage to come in, do you want me to ask for it?"

Hearing Yang Ning's questioning, Mo Wuwu and Qiao Yun were both shocked, although the two of them knew that they were not top masters, but if someone outside was watching, and they didn't realize it for so long, then that person's martial arts were really powerful, at least far above them, thinking of this, they all felt a chill, especially Qiao Yun, thinking that if it wasn't for the appearance of the Demon Emperor, even if he succeeded easily, he might be plotted by the yellow finch behind him, and he was even more angry in his heart.

At this time, a long sigh came from outside the wall: "Zijing, I haven't seen you for many years, do you remember Grandpa Liu back then?" As soon as the voice fell, Liu Tiandiao had already appeared on the wall, looking at Yang Ning with both eyes, although he forcibly suppressed his excitement, it was still difficult to hide the eager sadness in his eyes.

Yang Ning was slightly stunned, looking at Liu Tiandiao's gaze became extremely complicated, both excited and wary, and then he suddenly stretched out his finger to Xiao San's acupoint, until Xiao San closed his eyes full of panic, then raised his head, and said lightly: "Zi Jing remembers that Grandpa Liu once gave Zi Jing the best gift in the world, and Grandpa Liu sent Zi Jing away two years ago, otherwise I am afraid that Zi Jing will die in the fire like her mother." ”

Liu Tiandiao jumped off the wall, grabbed Zi Jing in three steps and two steps, and reached out to hug him, Zi Jing hesitated slightly, but did not avoid it, let Liu Tiandiao hug himself tightly, and the memories of the past came to his heart like a tide.

In the twelfth year of Jianping, in a corner of Luoyang's Qifeng Palace, Yang Ning, who was only five years old, stood in a daze, looking up at the swaying vines on the wall, thinking about what the sky outside was like. It's just, but the rare half-day leisure always makes him more sad and sad, although he is the young master of Qifeng Palace, but everyone in the palace will not take the initiative to talk to him, if he has any requirements, those people always obey the order, but they will never say the first half of the intimate words to him, and even he can see the hatred and indifference in the eyes of those people, he knows that they all resent themselves, because if there is no one, the mother will not be so lonely. If he had been practicing, at least indulging in martial arts would have left him with no time to think about his situation, but only in this half a day's leisure time, he would experience all kinds of loneliness and loneliness, but he could not get rid of it, so he could only let the darkness engulf him. After countless disappointments, he has given up communicating with others, unless it is his mother's beckoning, otherwise he is only in the most remote corner of this Qifeng Palace, looking at the blue sky outside.

When Yang Ning was bored, he suddenly felt that there was a shadow of a person in front of him, he originally thought that the guards in the palace came to look for him, at this time, most of the people who appeared were called by the master or his mother, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, raised his head, but saw a strange man, this person was about fifty years old, his hair was already a little frosty, but his spirit was extremely strong, he was looking at himself with a smile, his eyes were full of warmth. Yang Ning was on guard, his feet were forced, he quickly retreated, and said coldly: "Who are you, why did you trespass into Qifeng Palace?"

The man squatted down, looked at Yang Ning's eyes, and said calmly: "Your Highness the Nine, your subordinates are new guards, and they are not familiar with the road, so I came here and wanted to ask Your Highness how to go to Ying Xuan?"

Yang Ning's heart is bright, the guards and maids in this palace are all transferred from Youji, and there will be adjustments every once in a while, and the scope of his activities is very narrow, so it is not surprising that there are guards who he doesn't recognize, but this person is still wearing the clothes of this low-level guard, and he also takes the initiative to talk to himself, so he immediately knew that this person did not tell the truth, but surprisingly, he didn't want to call the guards to arrest this person loudly, or the warmth in this person's eyes made his heart move, or he longed for someone to talk to him, Yang Ning hesitated for a moment and said lightly"I don't remember how to get there, you go ask someone." ”

The man didn't leave, but sat next to him and smiled: " Since His Royal Highness doesn't remember the road, then his subordinates will wait for a while and then look for it, anyway, things are not in a hurry, His Royal Highness wants to go out to see, the inner garden of the palace, the scenery is extraordinary, although the Qifeng Palace is the most of them, but it is too secluded, if His Royal Highness has the opportunity, he may wish to go out for a walk, out of the courtyard wall in front of him, and walk to the left for a stick of incense time, which is the Imperial Garden, it is now the spring of March, the apricot blossoms and rain, the rain is red, many of His Royal Highness's brothers and sisters are there to visit the spring, if His Royal Highness is willing, you can go there to see. ”

Yang Ning only felt cold in his heart, he knew that the person in front of him must be like the brothers and sisters he saw last year, and wanted to lure him to leave Qifeng Palace, but he would not disobey his mother's order again, absolutely not, he held back the pain in his heart, he said coldly: "My mother doesn't like apricot blossoms, she said that Qifeng Palace has long since lost spring, and Zijing doesn't like apricot blossoms either, you go to Yingxuan quickly, if it's late, Commander Han will blame you heavily." Although he longs for someone to accompany him, his temperament is also very stubborn, if that person is not sincere to accompany him, then he would rather not. Thinking of this, he raised his head and stubbornly looked at this kind old man, his eyes were already blazing.

Perhaps sensing the change in Yang Ning's mood, the old man's expression darkened, and he sighed for a long time: "It turns out that His Highness doesn't like apricot blossoms, so does His Highness like this?" After that, he took out a clay-fired pottery horse from his arms, although it was only a clay embryo, but the majestic posture of the high-end hooves still made people's hearts boil. As soon as Yang Ning saw this pottery horse, he already liked it very much, but when he thought that this old man had come with intention, he couldn't be interested anymore, so he didn't look over his head and didn't look at the pottery horse anymore.

The old man's eyes flashed a trace of shame, his mind turned, and he tore off some willow branches from a green willow next to him, and then moved his fingers lightly, and after a while, he had already made up a hat, and the willow leaf twigs fell from the hat around, and it became more and more that this willow hat was like smoke and fog, and then the old man gently put the willow hat on Yang Ning's head, and he deliberately made a hole in the center of the willow hat, which could expose the golden crown on Yang Ning's head, and then the old man smiled: "Your Highness wants to learn to weave a hat, it's very fun." ”

Yang Ning stretched out his hand to pick off the willow hat, only to feel that the branches were fine, and the preparation was extremely exquisite, and he couldn't care whether this person was sincere or false, so he nodded quickly, and the person leaked a look of relief, and picked some wicker from the tree, and taught Yang Ning to weave the hat, Yang Ning's ten fingers were dexterous, but he had learned it in a moment, and the man said goodbye, and when he parted, the man sighed and said: " Nine His Royal Highness may feel that his subordinates have bad intentions, but his subordinates really have no malicious intentions, if His Highness is willing, every ten days in the future, his subordinates are waiting for His Highness here, his subordinates' surname is Liu, his name is Tiandiao, if His Royal Highness refuses to understand his subordinates, he can explain this matter to the concubine Niangniang, no matter how Niangniang wants to deal with it, his subordinates will not blame His Highness. ”

After Liu Tiandiao left, Yang Ning stayed in the corner of the wall until sunset, until the twilight shrouded him, and the palace maid who was responsible for taking care of him came to look for him before he got up and turned back to the dormitory, of course, at this time, the willow hat that he couldn't put down had been buried under the flowers by him, if such a thing was seen, he couldn't help but say what Liu Tiandiao had done, but there was a voice in his heart that told him not to do it.

Ten days later, when Liu Tiandiao appeared again, he saw that Yang Ning tried his best to maintain indifference, but it was difficult to hide his excited eyes, Liu Tiandiao brought a freshly caught grasshopper this time, and the grass-woven grasshopper cage made Yang Ning loved it even more, and in the next three years, the two formed a tacit understanding, every ten days, Yang Ning and Liu Tiandiao would meet in private, although the defense of Qifeng Palace has always been extremely tight, but perhaps the lord of Huofeng County also wants to give his son a relaxed world, this corner surrounded by flowers and trees, no one has ever disturbed。 And the title between the two has gradually changed, from the beginning of His Royal Highness the Ninth and Liu Guards to the later Zijing and Grandpa Liu, with Liu Tiandiao, a year-old friend, Yang Ning's almost blank life has added a little color out of thin air. Of course, Liu Tiandiao never tempted Yang Ning to leave Qifeng Palace again, every time he just brought some ordinary children's toys, and he had to take them with him when he left, because there could be no such thing around Yang Ning. After three years of peaceful life, until one day, Liu Tiandiao asked Yang Ning to meet Yang Tong, who was seriously ill.

Yang Ning heard "Grandpa Liu" After the request, the first feeling is like falling into an ice cave, and it has long become a habit to be wary of the people around him, especially when it comes to the royal family, he has long understood that in the eyes of the Yang family, he is not a flesh and blood relative, but a tool and chess piece to hold his mother hostage, which he knows from the memory that the third brother and the sixth sister never came to visit after being discovered by their mother, because afterwards he once sneaked out to visit them, but only saw them laughing with other brothers and sisters, and even mentioned himself without the slightest sadness。 Without waiting for the people sent by his mother to arrest him, he returned to Qifeng Palace in a daze, and for the next three days, he didn't want to eat, he didn't want to practice, he just felt abandoned by everyone. Originally, I thought that my mother would punish myself for this, or I could get rid of this bound fate from now on, but my mother just sighed, stayed by his side for three days, ate with him, read to him, and told him a lot of past events, those three days are still like a sweet dream, just because after he calmed down, my mother returned to her former indifference and solemnity.

Although he was sad, although he was unhappy, he still risked angering his mother and Liu Tiandiao to see his son today, that is, his father who almost no longer remembers, and still remembered that it was in a deserted palace, cold and desolate not like a place where the emperor should stay, right there, he saw his father with a pale look and gloomy eyes, although he had a splash of wealth, but there was also boundless loneliness in his eyes. This is the first time in their lives that the father and son have been alone in the same room, for three full hours, the father just listened to himself stammering about the life in the Qifeng Palace, but did not ask more secrets that should not be asked, he could feel that the father just wanted to say a few more words to himself, and did not want to take himself away from his mother, and even when he had to leave, he also told himself not to meet with the rest of the royal family in the future, especially his brothers and sisters, which was the same teaching as his mother. It was from that moment that he admitted that he still had a father, although the shadow of his father gradually faded into the cold martial arts practice, although his father did not even give him a cold look at the royal ceremonies that he had to attend several times in the future, but he knew that his father was not one of those relatives who would take advantage of him.

Under the protection of Liu Tiandiao, he returned to Qifeng Palace, but Liu Tiandiao did not leave immediately, knowing that someone was about to pick Yang Ning back to the dormitory, he still held him and stood for a long time, until Yang Ning became anxious and urged him to leave quickly, he got up to say goodbye, not as cordial and casual as before, but officially knelt and said goodbye, even Yang Ning, who did not know much about the world, could also feel the meaning of farewell, so he tried to keep it for the first time, and asked Liu Tiandiao to come to see him after ten days, but Liu Tiandiao never agreed。

And ten days later, Yang Ning waited until late at night in the place where the two used to meet, and refused to go back to the palace with the palace maid, when the morning sun rose the next day, the tears on Yang Ning's face had turned into frost, and since then, he never thought of Liu Tiandiao until a hurry two years ago.

After recalling all the past events and gently breaking away Liu Tiandiao's arm, Yang Ning asked coldly: "Grandpa Liu, why did you miss the appointment back then? Is it because you have already completed the task, so you don't need to waste time with me?"

Liu Tiandiao's gaze suddenly constricted, took two steps back, and his gaze swept over the other three people in the abandoned garden, then smiled faintly, and waved his hand casually, two wisps of black light took off his sleeves and shot towards Qiao Yun and Mo Wuwu.

Although Liu Tiandiao's move was sudden, Mo Wuwu and Qiao Yun were both old rivers and lakes, and they were scheming, as soon as Liu Tiandiao appeared, they felt an inexplicable atmosphere, although Liu Tiandiao and Yang Ning's conversation was vague, but just think about it, what kind of identity is the person who can be commensurate with the Demon Emperor's ancestors, there is no need to doubt the possibility of killing people, so at the same time as Liu Tiandiao made a move, the two jumped in different directions, but Mo Wuwu was better after all, when his back disappeared on the wall, Qiao Yun's delicate body fell from mid-air like a flower, and then there was a short scream outside the wall。 When Liu Tiandiao made a move, Yang Ning was silent, that is, he did not stop him, nor did he rescue him, but at the moment when Mo Wuwu's miserable cry came, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he seemed to have some regret. And Liu Tiandiao naturally understood his thoughts, Yang Ning only clicked on Xiao San's acupoint when he saw him, which means that as long as he doesn't kill Xiao San, it is up to him whether the others kill or release, but Liu Tiandiao is a person who is in a high position and regards human life like a mustard, so Mo Wuwu, who could have escaped with his life, was also killed by Chi Yu.

If it was in the past, Yang Ning would naturally not be the slightest sad about Mo Wuwu's death, but today I don't know why, although he thought that Mo Wuwu would marry Xiao San and cause this child to suffer a lot, but after all, Mo Wuwu rushed to save the two, which was also a bit moral, so he couldn't bear it, but this compassion was difficult to reverse the character formed over the years, so he didn't also order Mo Wuwu's acupoint to avoid him being killed by Liu Tiandiao. It's just that this little thought made him even more resentful of Liu Tiandiao, and he couldn't help but ask again: "My father is no longer here, and my mother was also killed by you, why do you still appear in front of me, don't you want me to go back with you to be your puppet?"

Liu Tiandiao sighed lightly, leaned down and bowed: "Your Highness, your subordinates know that you are sorry for Your Highness, but Your Highness doesn't know the hardships of your subordinates, does Your Highness really think that your subordinates can come and go freely in Qifeng Palace for up to three years?"

Yang Ning's body was shocked when he heard this, even though he didn't understand this at the time, but today, how strict the guards in the Qifeng Palace were back then, he already knew in his heart, no matter who it was, he didn't want to come and go freely within three years, but he never took the initiative to think about this, just because he didn't dare to have too many expectations.

Liu Tiandiao continued: "The subordinates couldn't say much about this matter back then, and today Your Majesty and the county lord are no longer alive, if the subordinates don't say it, I'm afraid that Your Highness won't be able to understand the two of them to Your Highness." Although His Majesty had countless concubines during his lifetime, there was only one person in his heart, since Emperor Jing proposed to the county lord for His Royal Highness and was rejected, His Majesty has never forgotten the county lord, but His Majesty knows that his intelligence is dull and unworthy of being a good match for the county lord, so he has never revealed his true heart. His Royal Highness's indulgence in lust is just to dilute the love for the county lord in his heart, but he can't imagine that it is useless after all. After His Majesty married the county lord, His Majesty did not recruit any concubines, and accompanied the county lord in Qifeng Palace for a month, and later the county lord became pregnant, so he separated from His Majesty, and since then His Majesty has never had a chance to reunite with the county lord, but His Majesty has never blamed the resentment of the county lord. When His Majesty was dying, he still said to his subordinates that it was the happiest day of his life, and that he could join hands with his beloved Hongchen, although it was only a short-lived spring dream, His Majesty had no regrets in this life.

It's just that His Majesty's mind can't be known to anyone, just because Emperor Jing and the clan relatives in the clan all want to get the peace of mind through the county lord and His Royal Highness, and if the county lord knows His Majesty's mind, if it is at a critical time, I am afraid that it will also be used, His Majesty is in a dilemma between relatives and lovers, and the only way to deal with it is to turn a blind eye to the county lord and His Royal Highness, and this is also the county lord's intention, so His Royal Highness is isolated from the world, not only the will of the county lord, but also the will of His Majesty. Otherwise, His Royal Highness has been in the deep palace for sixteen years, why hasn't he even entered the temple a few times, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has secretly thwarted many conspiracy to use His Highness.

His Majesty is so painstaking, but he can only be sad, his most cherished is Your Royal Highness, but can not meet, his subordinates followed Emperor Jing when he was a teenager, and later went to prison for some reason, fortunately His Majesty rescued to save his life, in order to repay His Majesty's favor, let His Majesty's heart accumulate depression to alleviate one or two, his subordinates only risked death to Qifeng Palace and His Royal Highness to meet, every time his subordinates go back, His Royal Highness's situation will be shown to His Majesty, that is His Majesty's happiest days, His Majesty is restricted by the clan relatives in the court, in order to hide his mind and can only indulge in wine, but also to do something unfavorable to the county lord and His Royal Highness according to Emperor Jing's will, only by learning about His Highness's life from his subordinates can he smile more.

His Majesty's painstaking county lord doesn't know if he knows, but his subordinates must have gotten the acquiescence of the county lord when they entered and exited Qifeng Palace, until that time the subordinates took His Royal Highness to meet His Majesty, which was really a taboo for the county lord, and his subordinates had already made up their minds to die when they said goodbye to His Highness. Sure enough, after leaving Qifeng Palace, he was captured by the respected teacher in front of the county lord, fortunately, the county lord Gu Nian's subordinates did not have the intention to plot His Royal Highness, but just punished him, forcing his subordinates not to enter Qifeng Palace from now on. The subordinates broke the contract, not because they didn't care about His Highness, but because they had to do it. ”

Yang Ning should have been extremely surprised when he heard this, but for some reason, he felt that every word Liu Tiandiao said seemed to have been imprinted in his heart, but it was hidden by a heavy fog, and it was not until today that the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, allowing him to see the truth of the past. Unconsciously, his eyes were filled with tears, and a great feeling of happiness welled up from the bottom of his heart, and it was not until today that he understood that his father and mother were not as ruthless to him as they seemed, and in their minds, his own happiness was still important.

Hurriedly turned his face away, not letting Liu Tiandiao see his tears, he tried his best to be as calm as possible: "This king has forgotten, until a few days ago I remembered, that day my mother expelled me from Qifeng Palace, I was dazed, I only remember that you took me to see my father for the last time, and also sent me out of Luoyang, thank you, Grandpa Liu, you can be even." ”

Liu Tiandiao stood up and said solemnly: " This is His Majesty's secret decree, subordinates are just acting on orders, Your Majesty and the county lord are clear, once Your Majesty feasts, King Yi Chitose and Yue Guogong will not let go of the county lord, although they have not discussed, but the county lord will expel His Royal Highness, His Majesty will send His Royal Highness out of Luoyang, but it is a heart, His Royal Highness was too sad at the time, or forgot, Your Majesty also left some things for you, but at that time you were inconvenient to carry, now those things are in His Majesty's Imperial Mausoleum, and when His Royal Highness has a heart for the world in the future, you may as well go to the Imperial Tomb to take it out. ”

Yang Ning said indifferently: "The king understands the emperor's intentions, but the king has no intention of being rich and glorious, if there is a chance in the future, I will go to worship my father, but I will not take those things, so let them be buried in the loess forever with my father." Grandpa Liu, what are you doing in Jiangdong? Presumably not for me. ”

Liu Tiandiao sighed lightly and said: "Since Your Highness has no intention, your subordinates have nothing to say, Your Majesty also knows that Your Highness will not like those gifts, but he often says that in addition to this world, he has nothing to give to His Highness, as long as His Highness can understand His Majesty's intentions, His Majesty will also smile and stare under Jiuquan." As for the subordinates who came to Peng Ze, they came for an official business, and when His Majesty was dying, he entrusted the present to me, so although the subordinates are already in their last years, they are still old and ambitious. Although the subordinates had already learned that His Highness appeared in Jiangnan, but with the strength of his subordinates, he didn't expect to be able to see His Highness again, and His Highness's identity should not be leaked well, otherwise he was afraid that there would be more dangers, so his subordinates did not intend to look for it, but they met here, presumably His Majesty blessed him in heaven, so that his subordinates could see His Highness again in their lifetimes. ”

Yang Ning's expression became indifferent, and he said coldly: "I understand, you mean that the royal family won't want me to appear, right?"

Liu Tiandiao didn't make a sound, just acquiesced, Yang Ning smiled faintly and said: "I already knew, my father and mother are no longer in this world, whether it is Luoyang or Youji, there is no place for me anymore, and when it comes to the Jiangnan matter, I will accompany Qingping to the Saiwai Prairie to travel, and I may not return to the Central Plains in my lifetime, so that it will not hinder you, you can tell the emperor's uncle and brother that they can rest assured." ”

Liu Tiandiao wanted to speak and stopped, he naturally knew that Yang Ning's choice was the best for the royal family, he was silent for a moment, he bowed down again and said: "Your Highness, your subordinates are ordered by Your Majesty to assist today, unless the emperor dies, his subordinates cannot leave the royal family, but things related to His Royal Highness, his subordinates will never interfere, please be careful, beware of open guns and hidden arrows, it is inconvenient for subordinates to stay for a long time, so as not to reveal His Royal Highness's identity, today's farewell, the day of goodbye is far away." "It's already choked up at this point.

Yang Ning's eyes became deeper and colder, and he said after a long time: "This king understands Grandpa Liu's intentions, in addition to his father and brother, you will defend this king and be loyal to this king, but if this king and the imperial brother conflict, you can only be my enemy, are you worried that I will join forces with Luo Chengyu? Don't worry, in this life and this life, Yang Ning will never succumb to Luo Chengyu's command, nor will he form an alliance with him as friends, if you violate this oath, you will let Yang Ning live alone, and you will not be able to see your father and mother again when you die." ”

Hearing Yang Ning swear so much, Liu Tiandiao didn't feel tears like rain, prostrate on the ground, unable to raise his head, and was even more ashamed in his heart, he naturally knew that in this way, Yang Ning could no longer pose any threat to the royal family, he was originally the emperor's noble, but from then on he could only fall into red dust, rotting with the grass and trees, such a result really made him ashamed of His Majesty Yu Jiuquan.

Yang Ning felt as if he had taken off the shackles on his body, since he recovered his memory, he remembered the things that his father had shown him when he was reunited with his father for the last time, but all along, he had let himself ignore the painstaking efforts of his father, until he was reminded by Liu Tiandiao, he completely understood his father's love for him, and he also felt more and more that his mother was not ruthless to him, and such a happy feeling had made him feel worthy of this life. As for the imperial power and wealth, he turned a blind eye in his eyes, and this oath was not a sacrifice constraint for him. Feeling relaxed, Yang Ning reached out to pick up Xiao San, and said lightly: "Grandpa Liu, there will be no time in the future." Before he could finish speaking, his figure had disappeared in the other direction of the abandoned garden.

Liu Tiandiao only felt that his heart was wringing, and his hands were tightly picked into the cold soil on the ground, and he didn't dare to look at Yang Ning's back again.
