The first hundred and twenty-five chapters often accompany the bright moon to watch the sunset

"Father, mother!"

A gentle call seems to have come through eternity, with joy, but also mixed with sadness, when the farewell of the tower is really like cutting off a lifetime of love.

"Meng'er ......" The middle-aged woman who was sewing fishing nets suddenly looked back, her eyes were full of tears in an instant, six years, she hadn't seen her daughter for six years, and there were several six years in this life that could withstand the expense.

The man lying in the chair just looked this way, not as excited as the middle-aged woman, but there was a flash of light in his eyes that had not appeared in a long time.

"Meng'er is back, look! how ...... you old man?"

Nan Mengying's queen mother looked at Yuanzong with some anger, her daughter who had been separated for six years had returned, and this old fool was like a person who was fine.

"See, my daughter has brought her son-in-law and granddaughter to see us two old things, do you want me to rush up and hug them and cry and laugh?

Nan Mengying's knees weakened, and she knelt straight in front of Yuanzong and Concubine Yun, "Father, mother, daughter is unfilial, and she actually let you suffer in this place!"

Concubine Yun hurriedly reached out to help her up, gently pointed her fingertips at her nose, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, we didn't endure hardship, we are at ease here, you see how beautiful it is here, but it is much better than the cage-like palace." ”

Yuanzong also nodded, and said with a smile: "I didn't think it was in the palace before, but now when I come out, I find that there is such a peach paradise in the world, if I knew it earlier, I would be willing to abandon the ninety-five honor of those decades!"

When Nan Mengying heard them say this, her red eyes softened a little, and she gently rubbed the corners of her eyes and asked, "Father, why are you two here, that woman...... What about Empress Xiao and the imperial brothers? Also, how do you live in this kind of place, didn't Yun Yifan say......"

Yuanzong interrupted her with a smile, "Silly girl, although Yun Yifan took away your father's country, he is not an ungrateful person, and a palace stretching for dozens of miles has been built in the north of this Liao country for our family to live in, and the supply of food and clothing has never been interrupted." Just one day I went out hunting with your mother, and when I arrived here, I couldn't help but be attracted by the beautiful scenery here, so I left the palace and settled here, only to go back occasionally to have a look. ”

There is a lot of helplessness in the royal family, Yuanzong and Empress Xiao have never seen each other before the wedding night, the reason why they came together is just the arrangement of their fathers, the Yelu clan of Liao has been the emperor since ancient times, and the Xiao clan is a well-known descendant, Yuanzong wanted to take the throne back then, it can be said that he had to marry Empress Xiao.

What has kept them together over the past few decades is not the little affection between them, but the benefits they want to ask for each other, and only interests can bring two people who have never known each other together.

Now that Emperor Yuanzong is no longer the lord of the northern country, and Empress Xiao is no longer the mother of a country, they naturally will not respect each other as guests, and they will raise their eyebrows as in the past, even when they meet, it has become a luxury to greet each other.

And Yuanzong and Concubine Yun met in the rivers and lakes, when he was still the prince, it was easy to find the different her in the vast sea of people, sharing joys and sorrows, and she also accompanied Yuanzong step by step to today, never abandoned.

But her identity can't compete with Queen Xiao after all, the Xiao family is a natural descendant, and its power cannot be underestimated, even the Yelu family in its heyday had to give them three points of face, not to mention the concubine who was born in the countryside, it is a great honor to let her stay in the harem.

Empress Xiao is not dead, she is a concubine after all.

She doesn't compete with Empress Xiao for favor and for the throne, first, she doesn't have this mind, and second, she has stayed by Yuanzong's side as she wishes, which is the most satisfying thing in this life.

Empress Xiao did not exclude her, even if Yuanzong favored Concubine Wan alone among the three thousand in the harem, she did not have half a word of dissatisfaction, because her status was as stable as Mount Tai, and she was not afraid of being taken away, because her heart was never in Yuanzong's body, and they had different dreams in the same bed, and both of them dreamed of the other person.

Yan Lingge, whom she met in the south of the Yangtze River in March, and Concubine Yun whom he met in the vast sea of people, became a gap between this imperial couple that could never be crossed.

"Those imperial brothers of yours were divided by Yun Yifan and sent to other counties to be idle princes, and it is rare to see them a few times a year, and your mother and I haven't seen outsiders for a long time!" Although Yuanzong had a smiling expression on his face, no one could hear the loneliness and sadness of an old man.

The tears in Nan Mengying's eyes rolled out uncontrollably, which was very different from her usual chic and uninhibited, "Father, mother, you have suffered......"

"Silly boy, where are we miserable, compared with your swords and swords every day, we don't know how happy we are, and it's almost the same to say that this is heaven and earth!" Concubine Yun's face was loving, and when she thought of her daughter rising and falling in that chaotic world, she couldn't sleep all night.

"Old woman, you too, I forgot you too, a big family is standing outside like something, hurry up and enter the house!" Yuan Zong calmed down, took Nan Mengying's hand and walked into the house.

But before he stepped out, Xin'er's complaint came from behind him: "Grandpa and grandpa only know their mother, so they don't care about Xin'er and Daddy?"

After saying this, Yuanzong and Concubine Wan found Xia Xuehan and Xin'er standing behind Nanmengying, and Xin'er was making an awkward pouting at this time.

"What a cute little girl, Xin'er is well-behaved, it's all because grandpa is negligent, little Xin'er, don't be angry, let's go in together!" The two old men saw that they had such a lovely granddaughter, how could they not be happy, and they couldn't close their smiles.

Concubine Wan couldn't take care of her clothes that were soiled by sewing fishing nets, so she picked up Xin'er and walked towards the house, leaving only Yuanzong and Xia Xuehan and his wife.

"Meng'er, you go in with your mother first, I have something to say to my son-in-law. Emperor Yuanzong was not in a hurry to go in, and said to Nan Mengying, not forgetting to touch her head, like she did a few years ago when she was a little girl.

"Father, Emperor ......" Nan Mengying was a little hesitant, with her ice and snow intelligence, she could probably guess what Yuanzong said, she was afraid that Xia Xuehan would be embarrassed because of her.

"It's okay, you go in first!" Xia Xuehan smiled at her, if Nan Mengying was not at ease about this little thing, then he really didn't deserve to be by her side.

Nan Mengying nodded, and followed Concubine Yun into the house, she was naturally very relieved about Xia Xuehan, with this man here, all the problems in this world would be solved.

The moon lake, which is as beautiful as a dreamy fairyland, is only left with Yuanzong and Xia Xuehan's son-in-law.

It is rumored in the world that Moon Lake is the tears shed by the fairy of the Moon Palace falling into the world, although it is thrillingly beautiful, but if you taste it carefully, it is more desolate and sad.

"The chaos and sorrow are inexhaustible, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall", this is a desolate beauty, the beauty of despair, the beauty of tragedy, Moon Lake is a forbidden place forgotten by the gods, and does not belong to the world.

"What do you say about here?" asked Yuan Zong coldly.

He and Xia Xuehan stood side by side on the edge of the frozen blue lake, and did not speak for a long time, the sun in the west was about to set, in this extreme north, the winter sun was not only not hot, but there was a bone-chilling cold air shining on people's bodies.

The crystal clear surface of the lake is illuminated by the golden sunset, blooming with ten thousand rays of light, like a cornucopia of countless broken gold, and the mountains in the distance undulate, outlining gentle curves.

It turns out that this is the winter in the north, everything is so quiet and beautiful, and it has not been broken by the hustle and bustle because of a trace.

"It was beautiful and peaceful. Xia Xuehan said from the bottom of her heart.

"Then what if I ask you to stay in the name of a father?" Yuanzong's eyes kept looking at the crystal lake in front of him.

Xia Xuehan was a little surprised, he naturally knew Yuanzong's mood, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, he said: "Not yet, but believe me, when the world is unified, I will definitely retire and bring Meng'er and Xin'er here to live in seclusion." ”

Emperor Yuanzong smiled bitterly and shook his head, Xia Xuehan asked, "What are you laughing at?" Are you afraid that I will not be willing to be prosperous and rich, and what I said today is just perfunctory?"

"I naturally trust your character, otherwise I wouldn't have handed over my dream to you, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day!" Yuanzong's words were a little bitter, but they didn't exhaust the state of mind of thousands of old people.

It is easy to say that the world is unified, but only when you really experience it will know how difficult it is to go through a troubled era from union to division and then from division to integration, and how many vicissitudes of life you have to go through to achieve it.

"Don't worry, it won't be too long!" Xia Xuehan said in a deep voice, these simple words were extremely firm and confident.

"What, what's going on in the outside world?" Yuanzong was a little surprised, it stands to reason that this troubled era has only been formed for less than ten years, and all countries have geniuses who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and now they have a solid foundation, and it will take at least decades to hundreds of years to end this troubled world.

Xia Xuehan sighed lightly and said, "Yun Yifan has formed an alliance with me, after I go back this time, a big war will start, and no matter how strong Xia Lang is, he can't resist me and Yun Yifan joining forces." Yun Yifan, whether it is the ability to govern the country or the character of the heart, is not the best choice of the emperor of the world, and after the destruction of Xia Lang, I will persuade His Majesty to give up the throne of the world to Yun Yifan, so that the people can suffer less from the war. ”

Yuanzong turned his head, looked at Xia Xuehan in surprise, and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a mind!"

"The result of fighting for the world is not the most exciting, the most attractive is often the process of fighting for the world. Fight bravely and wits with the enemy of the world, ride horses with your brothers, lead millions of armies on the battlefield, and rise and fall in the main world; have confidants by your side, drunk and lie on the knees of beautiful women, and wake up to the power of the world. This is what a man dreams of, but I am tired of such days, and I don't want her to worry about me all day. ”

When Xia Xuehan said the last sentence, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, he couldn't remember how many times he had put Xin'er and Nan Mengying in danger because of him, he didn't have the courage to use the two of them as bargaining chips to fight with Xia Lang and Yun Yifan, losing either of them would make him regret it for life.

Emperor Yuanzong didn't speak, just smiled and looked into the distance, he didn't look at the wrong person, there is no man in the world who does not desire the beauty of the left hand and the right hand, and he is willing to give up half of the country in order to better protect the most important woman in his heart in order to free his hand.

Suddenly, Yuanzong suddenly thought of something, and there was a touch of anger in his eyes, and the power of the emperor that had not been shown for six years erupted like a volcano, and his eyes looked at Xia Xuehan like a knife.

Xia Xuehan's heart was cold, for many years, no, it should be said that he had never felt before, he was like a child who had made a mistake and was discovered by his family, and he didn't dare to look at Yuanzong.

"This troubled world will never end in just a few years, unless you pay the price of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, you and Yun Yifan are not such fools, and he has never been at odds with you, only one situation will he be crazy enough to join forces with you to destroy Xia Lang at any cost......" Yuanzong didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to believe his guess, but seeing Xia Xuehan's guilty look, he had to hang his heart and wait for the answer.

Xia Xuehan was not surprised that Yuanzong could think of this stubble, he had never doubted Yuanzong's wisdom and wisdom, if he was born in the same life as them, even if he could not be among the four princes, he could become a hero-like existence.

Now he is just looking at Xia Xuehan as a father who cares about his daughter, such a look makes him unable to raise his head, so he has to nod his head stubbornly, and softly say everything he has experienced on Changbai Mountain, Yuanzong's fists have been clenched so that the knuckles are white, the green tendons on the back of his hands on his forehead have burst out, and his face is ugly and terrifying.

"I put my most precious daughter in your hands, but you let her ......" Yuanzong almost lowered his voice and roared, "What did you say to me when you took her away under the Cutting Pagoda that day?"

"She is my first world, even if the blood stains the sky, it will not hurt her half a point!" Xia Xuehan said very unconfidently, this was the first time he was afraid of another person's gaze, a father's gaze from the bottom of his heart.

"Can you keep the whole world, but can't you keep a woman who is Qingning?" Every word of Yuanzong pierced Xia Xuehan's heart like a knife, and he was so guilty that he didn't know what to say.

Explain or apologize, he seems so humble in front of a father, and in the end, he has lost too much Nanmengying.

I don't know how long it took before Yuanzong said coldly: "This is the last time, although I am now clothed, I can't help you Xia Xuehan, who is famous all over the world, but please also remember that I am a father!"

The words are sonorous, like a giant hammer attacking Xia Xuehan's heart.

Xia Xuehan looked up at the sky that had sunk down, and her heart was so dizzy, could she repay one or two in her life?

"When it comes to the identity of you and me, it is too hypocritical to say that there is only one person in this life, you can have many women in your life, but you can only have one of her favorite, otherwise you don't deserve to have her!" Yuanzong coldly dropped the last sentence, walked towards the house with his hands in his hands, and didn't look at Xia Xuehan again.

"No, I will only have one of her in this life, and I have to be with her for the rest of my life!"

This time, he was extremely determined, without the slightest hesitation, and Yuanzong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and the angry look on his face finally eased a little.

Xia Xuehan's family lived by this picturesque moon lake for half a month before leaving for Jiangnan, and Yuanzong and Concubine Yun also declined the request to go south together, they were just an ordinary couple, just willing to guard that nest and watch the sunset grow old, often chanting that children to come back and see.

On the day they left, the sun was just right, and the frozen Moon Lake was like a curved blue moon, and they walked against the light, as if they were walking towards the end of this troubled world......
