Capital.

Palace.

Temple of Rejuvenation.

This side hall, which used to be Emperor Akagi's favorite to deal with government affairs, has now changed to a new owner.

The young new emperor sat on the throne on which his father had sat not long ago, looked calmly at the deep palace, and said for a long time, "Calm down." ”

Although Emperor Daxing has not yet been buried, and the new emperor has not officially ascended the throne, this young new emperor already has all the prestige and bearing that an emperor should have.

With a flat sound, the person kneeling on the ground slowly got up, but he still didn't dare to look up at the emperor, but just whispered: "The minister has failed His Majesty's expectations, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him." ”

This person is none other than Chen Guogong Chen Heng, originally from the first generation of Chen Guogong Chen Baxian, the Gusu Chen family has not entered the court as an official, because of the hereditary replacement, but also because of the ancestral training of the Gusu Chen family, and some other relationships, the heirs of the Chen family have always been happy to enjoy happiness in Jiangnan, and they do not want to participate too much in the government affairs, anyway, as long as the world is still the world of the Chen family, then their status is as stable as Mount Tai.

It's a pity that this generation of Chen Guogong is really not a person who can endure loneliness, so he came to the capital, he supported the new emperor and became the new emperor's right-hand man.

The current emperor is surrounded by celebrities, except for Chen Heng, there is no one else.

"Well, it doesn't really matter. The young emperor only chuckled, without the slightest hint of annoyance or fear.

You must know that at noon yesterday, a full seven or eight thousand people surrounded and killed a Gu Yue'an, but Gu Yue'an was killed out of the encirclement, and the last besiegers scattered and fled, and no one could stop him.

Moreover, it has been rumored that Gu Yuean has returned to the capital again to kill the new emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is rumored that the ancient thief has returned to the capital, although the palace is already heavily guarded, but the ancient thief is powerful, in order to protect the emperor, it is better to hang a group of masters. When Chen Heng talked about Gu Yue'an, he was still frightened.

If he used to think that Gu Yuean was just a good chess piece, then everything that happened at noon yesterday had made him afraid of this young man.

No, it's not a human being at all, how can a human being not die after being pierced in the heart?

Thinking of this, Chen Hui suddenly felt happy in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, that Gu Yue'an was stabbed in the heart and can still live like a dragon and a tiger, he is no longer a human being, he must be a bloodthirsty demon party, it is better to ......"

"This matter is suspended, and the matter about the blood clan, in these years, don't leak anything. Chen Yifeng was thinking about other things, but when he heard this, he said, "I want the wind and rain to be smooth in the past seven years, and all the people will praise me." ”

"In accordance with His Majesty's will. Chen Hui saluted again and said, "Your Majesty...... That...... The matter of the kite......"

"En......" Chen Weifeng nodded and said with a smile, "When my father is buried, let's discuss it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, then will the minister transfer people again......" Chen Heng smiled when he heard this, and hurriedly continued to be courteous.

"No need, there is a little orange in the palace, who can kill me?" Chen mocked up with great confidence.

"Then Gu Yue'an...... Chen Heng's big trouble now is Gu Yue'an, he is really afraid that Gu Yue'an will come to kill him.

"Don't worry, uncle, there is also a Qin Mingyue, who has already looked for him, we don't have to worry about it at all. Chen mocking's eyes looked into the distance, "There will be an injury when the two tigers fight, and when the time comes, it will naturally be caught." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

——————————

Qin Mingyue has already gone to find Gu Yue'an.

This incident soon spread all over the rivers and lakes.

Because Qin Mingyue didn't go to Gu Yue'an quietly, she went to find Gu Yue'an with great fanfare, she let out a rumor on the rivers and lakes, saying: "Gu Yue'an, I'm waiting for you in Purple Mountain, if you don't come, I will slaughter Chang'an." ”

Not much, but enough.

Gu Yuean had to go because he couldn't let Qin Mingyue slaughter Chang'an.

So at the foot of the Purple Mountain, heroes gathered for a while, and everyone wanted to take a look at this good battle.

But in less than a day, at the foot of the Purple Mountain, there was no one left.

Because no one dared to stay, all those who wanted to stay had already died under Qin Mingyue's sword.

Qin Mingyue was waiting for Gu Yue'an at a tavern at the foot of the Purple Mountain.

She waited for a day, and then Gu Yue'an came.

Gu Yue'an came when it was getting dark, and in the whole mountain field, only the tavern was lit up.

When Gu Yuean walked into the tavern, Qin Mingyue was drinking.

Seeing Gu Yue'an, Qin Mingyue didn't make a move, just smiled and said, "Do you drink?"

Gu Yuean nodded.

So Qin Mingyue poured him a glass, it was not a good wine, it was about local brew, but on this night when the autumn wind was rising, it was enough to iron.

"I salute you with a cup and congratulate you on your immortality. Qin Mingyue didn't look like she was talking to someone she was about to live and die against, but like she was receiving an old friend she hadn't seen for many years.

"Thank you. Gu Yuean nodded and drank the wine, which melted in his stomach and warmed his body.

But his heart is still cold.

"What about Cui Li?" asked Gu Yue'an.

"I buried him in the backyard, when we were young, he said that he liked the flowers of the Purple Mountain, and I originally planned to marry him here, and then live in seclusion. Qin Mingyue laughed as she spoke, revealing a rare gentle smile, "It's okay now, he definitely didn't want to live here, and he will be able to see the flowers he likes in the future." ”

"That's not bad, I have a friend who was in a hurry when I left the capital, and buried him in a place, and I don't know if I have a chance to see him and move him somewhere. Gu Yuean said and remembered Zeng Jingheng.

That night was chaotic, and he finally had to choose to bury him in an unknown courtyard.

Hopefully, no one will disturb his peace.

"Do you know why I have to do this?" Qin Mingyue looked at Gu Yue'an.

"Why?"

"In fact, all this is Chen Weifeng's bureau, I know in my heart that the real murderer who killed Cui Li is Chen Weifeng, and it is also the desire of all of us, but I just found you. Qin Mingyue shook her head helplessly, "Do you think I'm a vexatious woman, just because you killed Cui Li's body?"

"No, it won't. Gu Yuean shook her head, "Killing people pays for life, and revenge is justified." ”

"Actually, because of that night, Chen Xiaoju achieved the body of the world's great grandmaster, and the two of us together may not be his opponents. Qin Mingyue shook her head, "And I'm a person who doesn't like to share things with others, including revenge, so I ask you to be my whetstone, or I become your whetstone, and I kill you, go further, or you kill me, go further, and the people who survive are qualified for revenge, aren't they?"

"Good idea. Gu Yue'an nodded, "I'll toast you." ”

The two clinked glasses, drank hot wine, and looked at each other without saying a word.

After a long time, Gu Yue'an poured another glass of wine and said, "Actually, I promised the old emperor not to kill the current emperor before I became the great master of the world, but I regretted it." ”

"I've heard that Gu Yue'an is a daughter, this is the first time you have broken your promise, right?" Qin Mingyue was interested.

"Not really. Gu Yue'an shook his head, "Because I have already died once, that was the last time Gu Yue'an promised, he died, so it was invalidated, and now, the new Gu Yue'an, I want to take revenge." ”

But in fact, the deeper thing is that Gu Yuean's heart, although it no longer hurts, is cold, cold, he must personally ask that woman, in the end, for what?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but drink again.

There is nothing in the tavern, but there is a lot of wine.

So Qin Mingyue and Gu Yuean drank wine all night, and no one spoke.

No one bothered anyone.

Because both of them have something that they can't say.

The word love hurts the most.

When the day was almost dawn, the wine was already empty, Gu Yuean picked up the last wine in the wine jug, poured it down, and then suddenly remembered something, and said to Qin Mingyue: "By the way, he asked me to bring you a word, saying, yes." ”

A very strange sentence, but it was Cui Li's last words, Gu Yuean didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, but he knew that behind these two words, what was hidden must be what he cherished the most.

Qin Mingyue had always been indifferent, but when she heard these two words, she burst into tears.

Seeing her crying, Gu Yuean suddenly felt envious, because he didn't even have the urge to cry.

At this time, the sun shone in through the window, and he was shocked to realize that overnight, Qin Mingyue's hair was actually frosty.

When he lowered his head again, he was stunned again, just because he found that he didn't know anything, and the long hair on his sideburns had also turned snow.

Lightly **, the white hair on the sideburns, Gu Yue's heart was only confused, and there was nothing else.

There are always no tears in sorrow and joy, it is the white hair in the world, and the sword gall turns to ashes. (Note 1)
