"Luzhu, I dreamed that I was punished by the master. Really, just outside the city gate, the master is watching from the city gate, no matter how I knock and hit, the city gate will not open...... Luzhu, you say, why doesn't this city gate open?" The woman was a little talking to herself, her eyes were confused and she always looked at a weeping willow tree in the courtyard, but the green bamboo who was called by her wept silently, and comforted the woman with a forced smile: "Is it? The master actually had such an ominous dream, it must be that last night's pillow was a little off, and the master fell on the pillow, so he did it...... I had this nightmare. The woman in the chair did not speak again, as if to approve of this statement.

Another day, also in this courtyard, the woman was still lying on that chair, her eyes slightly closed.

"Green bamboo, I had a dream last night. ”

"What kind of dream did the master have, Luzhu is very interested in knowing. It's like an endless loop, this kind of conversation has been like this since the woman woke up, but neither of them seems to be annoyed, one says inexplicably, and the other silently and tirelessly replies.

"I dreamed that I was planting trees, hehe, I was small, not tall, and it was very difficult to plant. A little smile appeared on the woman's face, as if she was laughing at her own small people who couldn't plant trees. "What kind of tree did the master plant, and did he plant it in the end?"

After hearing this, the woman did not answer, but looked at the green willow in the courtyard. Suddenly, the jade hand was raised lightly, "Do you see? It's it, a willow tree." Turning his head to look at the green bamboo: "But I didn't expect it to grow so tall overnight." ”

Looking at Xiao Nan like this, Luzhu felt sad in his heart, there are some things that everyone knows, but Luzhu can only accompany the women around him like this, as long as he doesn't mention it, as long as he doesn't mention something, some people, it seems that things haven't happened. I don't know if I was deceiving Xiao Nan or myself by doing so. Xiao Nan doesn't know, and neither does Lu Zhu. "The master in the dream was planted after all, which is gratifying and congratulatory, and it is not in vain to waste a night's effort. ”

"Yes, it was planted after all, thanks to him. After the words, there was nothing else to say, only a sigh in the wind.

Such days, such scenes, such conversations appeared in a cycle in Nanqing Palace until one day...... An old eunuch staggered into the hall and begged for Xiao Nan sadly. The identity of this eunuch should not be underestimated, if it was just an ordinary eunuch, he must have been stopped outside the palace by the guards outside, how could he break into the palace. This person has been by the emperor's side since he was a child, and he is the chief eunuch in charge of internal affairs, but at this time, he knelt down in front of Xiao Nan in such embarrassment, with tears streaming down his face, trying to be loyal to his king.

"Master South, Master South, please, please save Your Majesty, save the people in the world!"

Xiao Nan looked at the kneeling person in front of him with a dull gaze, his lips slightly opened, but he didn't know how to answer. That name, the name they had deliberately forgotten, had finally reappeared. No one cared what happened to her, and no one wanted to hear about her pain.

"Do you know what he did to me?" Xiao Nan muttered softly as he looked at the kneeling man, his eyes glazed over.

"Master Nan, the old slave has been by His Majesty's side all his life, not to mention anything else, but His Majesty's feelings for you are all sincere. You know that it was Your Majesty that the ministers insisted on letting you die that day...... It was His Majesty who insisted on carrying you back to the palace with the people of the world, and that saved you!"

"The master doesn't know yet, you are the descendant of the Sword of the Protector of the Country, and you will definitely be martyred in this life. But Your Majesty does not want you to suffer any more, so that you can have today's disaster. ”

"Master, now you are the only one who can save the world. ”

"Heartless people, how to save the common people, hahahaha!" Xiao Nan looked at the eunuch with a wry smile.

Seeing that the old eunuch's mouth was still talking about something, but he couldn't hear any sound. I only saw that Luzhu also seemed to be crazy, and Luzhu, who had always been timid, went crazy to push the housekeeper, and he was yelling at something, only to see her looking at her with tears on his face, yes, looking at her. What kind of gaze is that, sadness, pity, or sorrow?

"Master Nan, the old slave begs you on behalf of the common people in the world, please jump the sword furnace, only your blood can practice the sword, please, please save the people, save Your Majesty!"

Xiao Nan looked at him mechanically, and then turned his head to look at the green bamboo mechanically.

"Did he ask you to come and beg me?" seemed to be just talking to himself, without waiting for the eunuch to reply, "You all want me to die, but everyone wants me to die? Later, the master loved me in all kinds of love, and promised me a lifelong covenant, and at that time, I was really happy to death, and I thought I was the happiest person in the world. I was so happy that I forgot to take revenge, I thought that if my life could continue like this, I would stay by my master's side all the time, what would it matter if I didn't take revenge, what did I do if I got revenge...... But the world didn't believe it, and neither did the master. Xiao Nan said and turned to Luzhu, "Now it seems that everything was a conspiracy from the beginning, and it was all a lie, but I believed it, and it is ridiculous that I still have some expectations to this day, hehe...... Ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

If I didn't know why before, now everything, the causes and consequences, including the whole family being killed, including the coincidence of being saved by him, including the appointment of the white head, everything is not difficult to guess, he said that fate is connected like this, but the appointment of the white head is just a means to coax me, in fact, he has long known the identity of me as a descendant of the Du family. The wisdom of the emperor and the love of the emperor are really unparalleled in the world, unparalleled, and everything is calculated...... Conspiracy.

But even so, Xiao Nan wanted to ask in his heart how much truth and calculation there was in it over the years?

"What does the world have to do with me, what do the people of Kyushu have to do with me?...... Xiao Nan muttered in despair: "You go back." After speaking, he seemed to fall to the ground with all his strength, and when he fell to the ground, he saw Luzhu shouting in panic and fear, "Master!"

That night, the wind roared like a ghost, the rain poured down, and the thunder and lightning flashed in the southwest corner of the palace, and the thunder was bursting, as if it were one night last year......

"Not good, Nan'er. ”

I saw a man seeing this abnormal scene, turned around and rushed towards the sword-casting furnace, regardless of the wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside.

"The Emperor's ......"

When everyone saw it, they all ran in that direction.

Xiao Nan stood on the sword-forging furnace, looking at the karmic fire rolling inside, thinking that if a person jumped, it would turn into ashes in a moment, and he would definitely not feel pain.

"Master, outside the city gate that day, Nan'er thought that she would finally wait for you to save me, but she didn't expect to wait for the pain of digging out her heart. ”

"Master, do you know that I am not afraid of death, what I am afraid of is that I will never see you again, now it's okay, that's it, master, in this life and this life, I owe the master to pay it off together, from now on, you and I will never see each other again." ”

The woman resolutely jumped into the furnace and did not look back.

"I am connected to your life, and I will never hurt you again in this life. ”

"Xiao Nan, what you want, what you love, I will take it for you. ”

"Xiao Nan, don't be afraid, the master will always be by your side and will never leave you. ”

The words of yesterday are still in my ears, as if they have turned into ashes, and they have become the things of the previous life, in a trance, but they must be snapped at the fingertips.
