Barren grassland, 8 million miles deep.

In the depths, this is where the imperial city of the Steppe Wolf Tinglan clan was once located.

Nowadays, the eight million miles of barren grassland have long changed, and the newly built cities are dotted with them.

But only this former Lan Imperial City seems to have been deliberately done by the Great Xia Dynasty, and it still has the same appearance that has been swept by the flames of war.

Although the majestic old imperial city is full of ruins and broken walls, it cannot hide the vaguely visible glory.

There used to be no less than a million people under the command of the Lan clan living here.

Now, except for the cool wind blowing from there, there are no more people in the past.

In six years, too many scars caused by the war have been erased, but only here is left.

The Great Xia Dynasty issued a ban early, and in the past, the Lan Clan's Wolf Imperial City was thousands of miles awaited, and no people were allowed to appear.

Those who dare to disobey, regardless of the prince and nobles, will be beheaded!

There have also been border people from the hinterland of the imperial dynasty who have strayed into it, and all of them have been spared.

Later, the former imperial city became the "ghost domain" today, and the mournful cry of wolves in the depths of the barren grassland can often be heard at night.

Under the former site of the Steppe Wolf Emperor Lan clan, in the depths that mortals can't reach, there is a large lake formed by the convergence of magma, which is impossible to see.

Even Jiang Ye, who was the first person in the tens of thousands of border troops of the Great Xia Dynasty, did not notice it at all.

The magma on the surface of the lake is churning, and the temperature around it is extremely high, with tens of thousands of degrees, even if the extraterrestrial meteorite iron that has been tempered thousands of times, if it falls here, it will melt in a very short time.

"If you can't fight for the five decays of heaven and man, after all, dust will return to dust!"

"In this world, there is no Liu Huang anymore. ”

The magma churned, and a voice came from the underground magma lake, with a sigh.

Gradually, a cyan lotus slowly rose from the bottom of the lake, and it was this green lotus that spoke.

This lotus flower is not affected by the high temperature in the underground magma lake at all, and it blooms extremely brightly, it should be red magma, but in the place where the lotus flower is in full bloom, it is reflected in cyan and full of vitality.

"Sir, could it be that you sense something?" another voice came, the owner of which seemed to be very weak, and spoke with a cough.

Under the lotus leaves as big as a small boat, there is a golden sarcophagus wrapped around it, I don't know what material it is made of, and it has not been damaged at all under the invasion of magma.

The second voice came from the sarcophagus.

"The old people, I think I will never see each other again in the future. The green lotus branches and leaves swayed, and the voice was full of regret, like an old man lamenting the ruthlessness of time.

"It has nothing to do with you, sleep in peace, after all, you have to go out one day!"

“......”

The lotus leaf swayed, bringing up a string of magma, rolling the sarcophagus into the bottom of the lake, and the green lotus no longer opened its mouth and slowly sank, and finally disappeared.

Deep underground, the tumbling lava lake calmed down again, as if nothing had happened before.

......

The New Year is approaching, even in the border areas, although there is no prosperity everywhere in the hinterland of the imperial dynasty city connected with the city garden amusement party, but it also has a unique New Year's flavor.

Far away from the war, the people in the border areas of Suzaku City also bought New Year's goods early, and the streets were bustling, and the shouting and shouting were endless.

"Thanks to the general, the people here can enjoy peace. ”

Lin Mei accompanied Jiang Yao, looking at the prosperity on the street and smiling shallowly, but there was sadness between her eyebrows, and a team of flame iron horses followed closely behind her.

"Hehe, Madame's words are serious, Taiping was exchanged for tens of millions of border soldiers. Jiang Yao responded casually, but his eyes were staring into the distance, and his thoughts were obviously not here.

"You go back to the house first, and I'll walk around with Madame. ”

"No!"

Out of the city, Jiang Yao and Lin Mei walked side by side, waving their hands to disperse the guards who followed.

Silent all the way, the husband and wife walked slowly on the bluestone-paved path outside the city.

Perhaps the end of the year is approaching, and the outskirts of the city have become much quieter with fewer merchants coming and going.

"Right now, it's almost the New Year, and I haven't seen Mu Bo for a long time, so I think about the tea he brewed today. ”

Stopping and looking at the ancient temple not far away, Jiang Yao smiled softly, turned his head to look at his wife and said.

Lin Mei's mind sank, could it be that her husband noticed something?

In front of the temple, it was a mess, and the ancient willows that had covered most of the temples had lost their former charm.

The rest is just a blackened and withered stump, You standing alone among the temples, lifeless.

Tianwei, don't disobey!

I don't know why, the ancient temple that was originally full of incense is quiet today.

It is said that the mottling left by yesterday's thunderstorm should have been discovered by those devout pilgrims, and even if it was hit by this thunderstorm, there would be pilgrims to clean it up.

You must know that although this ancient temple is dilapidated, the wish is tight, and there are many people who come to repay the vow on weekdays.

At this moment, there was no one in the house.

"Mei'er, you say, is there a demon in my Vermilion Bird City?"

Jiang Yao didn't seem surprised by the scene in the ancient temple in front of him, he bowed down slightly, picked up a pink wildflower at his feet and gently inserted it in his wife's bun and asked softly.

"Husband......

Looking up and looking at Jiang Yao, who looked calm in front of her, Lin Mei looked flustered and a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but slowly take two steps back.

She didn't know what Jiang Yao had noticed, and how much did she know?

His heart trembled, his father was the great enemy of the Jiang clan of the Great Xia Dynasty after all.

Could it be that even the husband who is in love with him is going to be lost.

Clenching the hem of her skirt tightly, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Jiang Yao's eyes, she was afraid that she would hear the words of farewell as soon as she looked up.

"Silly Nizi!" was pulled into her arms, hugged tightly by the person in front of her, and listening to Jiang Yao's powerful heartbeat, Lin Mei's eyes moistened.

This is the second person to call her "Silly Nizi"!

"Later, I will arrange for someone to clean up this place, and this ancient temple will be sealed from now on!" Jiang Yao gently stroked Lin Mei's soft hair leaning on his chest, and said softly: "Don't let people disturb my father-in-law and his old man!"

"You...... Do you know everything?" Looking up at Jiang Yao, Lin Mei regained her composure: "When?"

Looking at her, Jiang Yao sighed: "When Xiao Man'er was born, you were in a coma after giving birth, and I found your exposed hands outside the quilt... It was a coil of willow branches that glowed blue from the skin..."

"Yesterday night, I should have fallen asleep, but suddenly I felt that a strong man broke into the house, got up and found that you were not around, but I chased you out but saw you and the barbarian...... and his father-in-law, his old man. ”

Listening to her husband's words, Lin Mei was stunned, at that time, even she couldn't remember the memories she had, and she didn't know her identity but she didn't expect Jiang Yao to .........

"I'm sorry..."

Leaning weakly on Jiang Yao's arms, how much has the man in front of him hidden for himself all these years?

"Fool, you and I are husband and wife, what are you sorry for?"

Haha laughed, Jiang Yao did not wear the cold armor that he never left in the past today, but rarely changed into a brocade black robe that he had not worn since leaving the hinterland of the dynasty, this smile, Lin Mei seemed to remember the high-spirited and somewhat flamboyant Nine Emperor Princes of the Great Xia Dynasty when they first met.

"It should be me who should say I'm sorry!" was silent for a while, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Lin Mei's head, just like when he first came to the border many years ago when he was still a high-spirited Nine Emperor Prince, and said softly: "If I had known that my father-in-law was Mu Bo earlier, maybe last night's scene would not have happened." ”

"But it's you, speaking of which, it was the three generations of ancestors of my Jiang clan who indirectly made my father-in-law and his old man disappear, and now he has recovered his memory...... Have you ever regretted marrying the offspring of my enemy?"

Pulling his wife to sit slowly on the grass not far from the ancient temple, Jiang Yao casually folded a wisp of dogtail grass in front of him and asked softly.

What worries him a little is not how to get along with Lin Mei after her memory is restored, after all, after so many years of getting along, the husband and wife have never blushed, even if it was the emperor's order from his father, Lin Mei followed him to this place without hesitation.

It's just that if it weren't for the action of the three generations of Holy Emperor Ancestors, the former supreme of the Wood Demon clan last night, his father-in-law would not have been punished by heaven and was powerless to fight.

However, at that time, it was indeed the "Nirvana Sutra" of the Wood Demon Clan who sneaked into the Holy Land of the Jiang Clan's ancestral land in Great Xia to do so...

Who can tell the grievances of the past!

"Regret? I regret it, I regret why my memory didn't recover earlier, I have let my husband bear so much over the years!" smiled lightly, and even the wounds in my heart last night seemed to be erased a lot.

Jiang Yao also laughed, since Xiao Man'er was born to the present, the stone hidden in his heart has finally fallen to the ground for the first time, very relaxed, gently hugging his wife's slender shoulder with his hand to feel the warm sunshine of the spring afternoon, Lin Mei pushed him with his shoulder: "Okay, the old husband and wife are not afraid of being laughed at when outsiders see it!"

"Hehe! I am the current Nine Emperor Princes of the Great Xia Dynasty, one of the two major overseers under the border army town and the border army, who dares to laugh?" With a rather lazy smile, Jiang Yao said a little proudly: "Besides, how can you think that this ancient temple with flourishing incense on weekdays is so unpopulated today? It's not that my husband cleared the field early!"

Seeing her husband like this, Lin Mei couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Yes, I almost forgot, my husband is the Nine Emperor Sons of the current Holy Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, so now that you know everything, do you plan to divorce my demon girl to let your father send an edict to the whole country to choose concubines?"

"Hehehe, don't you dare to divorce your wife as a husband, just choose a concubine?" Jiang Yao touched his chin and smirked.

Although she knew that her husband was teasing her, if she wanted to choose a concubine, she would have chosen it early in the hinterland of the dynasty, so how could she wait until now? But Lin Mei couldn't help but be jealous, and stretched out her lush little hand lemon on Jiang Yao's waist.

"The third brother said that they were going to spend this year in Suzaku City. Enjoying the rare time alone with his wife, Jiang Yao returned to his former seriousness and said in a low voice.

Over the years, life in the border area, and the fighting on the battlefield have finally worn away too many edges and corners of him, and he has a lot of things on his shoulders.

"In the dynasty, you know everything?" didn't feel too surprised, after all, they were husband and wife, Lin Mei knew what her husband's words meant.

"My brothers have never lacked the presence of hands and eyes. Feeling out the saber from his waist and pulling out the scabbard, Jiang Yao gently wiped it with his sleeve, and asked a little unexpectedly: "Moli that child, her surname is Jiang! ”
