Chapter 1: Chang'an Rebellion
It is said that it is autumn, there is frost and cold in the far sky, Liu Chen sat alone in the bow of the ship, raised his eyes and saw that on the far door in the clouds, there were suddenly more inexplicable whites, and he had tried his best, Liu Daxia still did not catch up with the first snow in Chang'an in the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse.

If in the Weishui River, the splash from time to time is with a hint of coolness, the slightly cool waves, blowing Liu Chen's passenger boat for a long time swaying, Chang'an is still that Chang'an, far away in the sky, close in front of you, the familiar Zhongzhou official dialect continued to be transmitted from the pier more than ten zhang away to Liu Chen's ears, bent the corners of his mouth, and smiled warmly.
On the wharf of the Weihe River, the shouts of the boatmen are still one after another, repeating the work day after day, and the goods from Tiannan and Haibei have entered Chang'an from here, and the treasures of Chang'an have also flown to every corner of the East Continent from here.
When you think that the prosperity of the imperial capital Chang'an is all condensed on this famous wharf, go further, through the West Market, to Zhuque Street, to Xuanwumen Square, at this time, you can find that no matter where you are, when you open your eyes to see Chang'an, you are a leopard in the tube, Chang'an is not in front of you, it is in your heart.
On the ground at the entrance of the General's Mansion, the snow was swept to both sides, the hemp bluestone was slightly wet, and Liu Chen stood quietly, vaguely hearing the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the mansion.
Nearly two years ago, Liu Chen left Chang'an and went to the Extreme Star Sea to participate in the trial, and it was also at that time that the craftsmen from Yuezhou had just restored the mansion that had been abandoned for more than ten years, until today, Liu Chen was the first time to stand in front of the renovated general's mansion, according to the etiquette system, this new general's mansion is the most magnificent in the entire Wuyi Alley, not to mention how heroic and extraordinary its previous owner was, only to say that now, it belongs to the king of Canglan, and the bell tower in the palace is only a little lower than the corner tower in the palace......
"Squeak!"
The low and dull sound of opening the door interrupted the secret sigh in Liu Chen's heart, and his thoughts were also taken back from distant memories, and when he looked up, the middle door of the general's mansion was wide open, and the delicate girl with a happy face slowly came to the stone steps in front of Liu Chen under the leadership of the old housekeeper.
On the floor on both sides of the stone steps, there were already two rows of people kneeling in black pressure, men, women and children were full of piety and respect, only the girl, with tears in her phoenix eyes, the excitement and sadness of the reunion after a long absence, all suppressed her steps, worthy of more than ten steps, but she stumbled as if she had walked for half an era.
"Welcome the prince back to Beijing, and congratulate the prince on winning the top spot in the Extreme Star Sea trial!"
"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
There are already prepared family members lit the firecrackers hanging high, the sudden joy directly broke the tranquility of Wuyi Lane, the wall of the nobles, flashed countless eyes, at this moment, the news of the return of King Liuchen to Beijing, as if he had wings, instantly spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
"Uncle Thirteen, you don't need to be polite, arrange an afternoon meal for me, it's simpler, I'll eat with Yuyao!"
Holding the girl's hand, Liu Chen walked to the front of the crowd, stretched out his hand to help the red-faced Liu Shisan, and after a few words of greeting, he walked into the house alone with Xu Yuyao.
It's still the way it looks in memory, every courtyard, every pond, every flower and plant, and even the willows by the water, are all perfect reproductions of yesterday, and the desolation of winter has not affected everything here, just like more than ten years ago, the general's mansion is still the general's mansion, only the general is no longer the general......
"Hard work, jade!" Coming to the flower hall, Liu Chen sat on the Taishi chair at the top, looking at the flower-like smile of the girl next to him, he smiled, lowered his head and kissed the back of the girl's hand and said, "When did you return to Beijing?"
"Three months ago!" Secretly wiping a handful of tears from the corners of her eyes, Xu Yuyao raised her head and softly leaned to Liu Chen's side, feeling that the fine stubble on Liu Chen's chin was constantly rubbing the back of her hand, she was a little happy, but also a little shy: "After the Panlong Tower disappeared, my mother sent someone to send me back......
"Hmm!"
Liu Chen just nodded, but the smile disappeared on his face, sniffing the fragrance from the girl's body, in his heart, there were five complicated tastes for a while, many times, on the way back to Beijing, he had thought many times, if he was not in this era, then what kind of life would he and them live, is it the occasional bickering in the eighteenth courtyard, or is it like Hao Infinity and Falling Cherry Blossoms, stay away from disputes, and choose a city to grow old......
As if feeling the emotions in Liu Chen's heart, Xu Yuyao stretched out her soft wattle, gently hugged Liu Chen's head into her arms, raised her eyes and signaled the maids to retreat, she smiled lowly and whispered softly: "You don't have to think about it, I don't want to be a burden to you, be yourself, I believe in you, it will work!"
"Thank you!" hugged the girl's thin waist tightly, Liu Chen breathed heavily, at this moment, he did not have any thoughts of retreating, so many people have paid just to stop the catastrophe that is imminent, in the center of the storm, Liu Chen has to be stronger than anyone else.
"Perhaps, many years later, the world will have long since lost you and me, when people mention history again, when they mention the great King of Canglan, you say, those talented storytellers, what will they describe me as what I look like? Is it the daughter of the champion? or the king's woman? hehe......"
"Then what does Concubine De Niangniang prefer to call you?"
"Hmph!" I tried hard to stretch Liu Chen's frowning brows, and now, Xu Yuyao has done it, she made Liu Chen's smile full of warmth and innocence again, "Before the age of sixteen, everyone in the world knew that I Xu Yuyao was the eldest lady of the Champion Hou Mansion, Xu Wei, who was once a wolf, was my ancestor, and Xu Kun, who is now beautiful, is my biological father, so in those years, my existence was accompanied by the glory that countless people dreamed of, even if it was the emperor, I could be equal to it...... These are all from that incomparably glorious surname......"
"Hmm!" Liu Chen smiled and stroked the girl's back, he liked Xu Yuyao's red dress, and only Xu Yuyao could wear real red, which only belonged to women's red...... At this moment, the girl in the red dress sitting in Liu Chen's arms, no matter how you look at it, is a gift from God to Liu Chen.
"Since I met you!" Autumn water-like eyes, completed a beautiful crescent moon, the girl's face was ashamed, the neck of the snow and frost, couldn't help but climb a touch of red, staring at Liu Chen for a long time, Xu Yuyao said very solemnly: "After the age of sixteen, all life, people will call me the woman of the King of Canglan, they have extended their respect and worship for the King of Canglan to me without reservation, all of this comes from you, my husband! Everything you give will be the greatest pride in the rest of my life!" ”
Liu Chen slowly closed his eyes, and Xu Yuyao's words kept echoing in his ears, and the warmth of those ear and temples made Liu Chen's heart full of gratitude.
Different from the peace in the general's mansion, as early as the moment Liu Chen walked into the mansion, Chang'an, which had been suppressed for many days, finally panicked at the end of the thirteenth year of the apocalypse...... (To be continued.) )
