Zhao Tianyou came to the palace, but the palace had been burned down, and all the valuable things were gone, and those once exquisite carvings were not burned, but they were full of soot and the color and smell of fire. The square in front of the palace was full of enemy ** people who were sorting out their armaments, and several of the leading generals were actually the ones he had seen before, and even they had a good time drinking together, but now they had a cold face and didn't look at him.

The Holy Land Yangtian Pond, that is where the three relatives disappeared. At this time, Zhao Tianyou found that he was numb, and he felt that no matter what happened, he would not feel anything anymore, but he was wrong. Although he had run like crazy before, He jumped like crazy, beat people, and was beaten by many people, but he didn't cry, he didn't shed even a single tear, but when he came to Yangtian Pond, which became a pile of stones, thinking that he would never see his brothers and sisters again, he cried, crying in the dark, he suddenly rummaged through stones with his hands, and suddenly climbed some big stones, as if this way his three relatives would suddenly be found by him, but in the end he found nothing, dragging two bloody hands and tired bodies, he lay on his back on a big stone, groggy and fell asleep。

This dream, he never told anyone, this dream, is the real reason why he returns here every three years.

In that dream, the sky and the earth were pitch black, but there was a strange light, and people could see that it was pitch black, which was a wonderful feeling. In the distance, a man walked towards where he was, and it was impossible to tell his age or appearance, and he could only be judged by his black shirt that he should be a man, but he could not see his steps, as if he was floating over. Zhao Tianyou stood in place, feeling unprecedented loneliness and coldness, he thought about whether he was dead, sinking into hell and becoming a ghost, but there was another feeling that told him that he was not dead, but he couldn't move or speak, he could only quietly watch the man approach him, and then he saw that the person spread out a yellow piece of paper in front of him, on which were written red words as dazzling as blood: Old country mourning, brothers scattered, blood and sea feud, remember. Leave this word, to my relatives, to live in the world, diligent life. Three-year period, about to meet, the day is not far away, looking forward to reunion.

These words appeared in front of Zhao Tianyou's eyes for a long time, and then the light between heaven and earth slowly dissipated, and everything sank into darkness.

When he woke up again, three days had passed, and Zhao Tianyou had one more person by his side, a woman. Looking at the unkempt Zhao Tianyou, she didn't speak, just took out the silk scarf she carried with her and slowly wiped the stains on her face and hands for him, silently looked at him and waited for him.

This person is Zhao Tianyou's current wife, the princess of Moyun Kingdom - Li Xiang.

Until now, Zhao Tianyou didn't know what price Li Xiang had paid to save his life in such a big plan. It was precisely because of Li Xiang's mediation that Zhao Tianyou was excluded from the plan from the beginning and narrowly escaped his life. However, at that time, Zhao Tianyou was still immersed in that dream that contained too many deep meanings, and he didn't know what Li Xiang was doing for him. In fact, Li Xiang has been following him from afar, watching him go crazy, watching him cry bitterly, and watching him fall asleep.

Until Li Xiang said, "Come with me." ”

Zhao Tianyou raised his eyes, looked at her fixedly, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "I saw Li Lishan in the palace. ”

"That's right, Uncle Tateyama leads Moyun's army and is one of the commanders of the four countries. Li Xiang said calmly, as if he didn't know that Uncle Lishan in his mouth had destroyed the country in front of him, "Don't say it again, let's go, many things have happened, and we can't change it." Li Xiang gently helped Zhao Tianyou up, and Zhao Tianyou surprisingly did not resist.

Soon after, he became Zhao Guang.

A few hours later, Zhang Shijie came to Zhao Guang. Quietly stood under the three-zhang boulder where Zhao Guang was and waited.

After the memories of fifteen years ago involuntarily passed through Zhao Guang's mind, Zhao Guang opened his eyes and looked at the desolation around him, and sighed in his heart. Moss marks have struck on the mottled stones all around, and the stones that have been moved have shown their old appearance, but fifteen years, second brother, fourth brother, sister, where have you gone? Why don't you keep your original promise?

Tears swirled in Zhao Guang's eyes, but when he saw the person under the stone, he obviously smiled, "Shijie, you are here." ”

"Yes, Third Master. The third master just called me Xiao Zhang. Zhang Shijie responded with some embarrassment.

Zhao Guang looked at him and waved his hand, "Xiao Zhang is the second brother's name for you, how can I call you that, the old country is no more, and you can still come here to pay respects, except for me, it is estimated that there is only you." This sincerity is like a brother, so I call you Shijie, and you will respond. ”

"Xie Sanye praised falsely, Xiao Zhang didn't dare to be ashamed. Please also ask the third master to call me Xiao Zhang, the little one really can't afford it. ”

"Well, since you insist, then it's up to you. Zhao Guang's face turned, and he said, "You have been searching near Yunlan for ten years, but are there - their whereabouts?"

"Nope. Xiao Zhang returned with a gloomy face.

"Oh, good. Zhao Guang nodded, and then pondered for a moment, "I never asked you, then at that time, or later, in the past few years, you saw Xiaohong?" Zhao Guang seemed to be trying to express his meaning more accurately.

Xiaohong, this is a very familiar name in Xiao Zhang's memory, because just like his own identity, Xiaohong is the original Zhao Guang's personal guard, "I haven't seen it since the great change in Yunlan, but if the third master wants to know his whereabouts, I will spare no effort to investigate." ”

"Okay, you can help me check. Zhao Guang nodded, "By the way, over the years, have you ever met anyone else in this Liaoshan Mountain?"

"Nope. Zhang replied.

"Okay. Xiao Zhang, then you can help me continue to find them, even Xiaohong. I want to hang myself alone, you can go. Zhao Guang instructed Xiao Zhang and closed his eyes. Xiao Zhang saluted deeply when he heard this, and slowly withdrew from the range of Yangtian Pond.

The night in the mountains came very quickly, and the sky gradually darkened, and the moonless night was dark and a little scary. Zhao Guang's eyes were still closed, but he seemed to be able to feel all this. He lay down slowly, as he had done back then, hoping to have a dream again, even if it was a dream.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, very light, but very cold, as if it was only for a moment, but it made people feel very cold. It was a strange feeling, but Zhao Guang felt very real, he even stood up at that moment, but there was nothing, as if the wind blew, and there was nothing left.

Zhao Guang stood for a long time, and after a long time, he was relieved, it was just a gust of wind. But when he lay down on the boulder again and closed his eyes, in the darkness beside him, a figure suddenly appeared, he was so close to Zhao Guang, only a wine jug and a few wine glasses in the middle, but Zhao Guang didn't realize it, and the person was still sitting.

This person turned his head, it was a natural action like grass growing, and when he made this action, he didn't make the slightest sound, and Zhao Guang didn't feel it either.

Looking at the wine glass in front of him, the man stretched out his hand, but when he was about to touch the wine glass, he suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something, he shook his head and withdrew his hand, and then he looked at Zhao Guang, with a faint brilliance in his eyes. Then, as a result of his wandering, he came to the foot of the three-foot boulder, and uttered silent words from his mouth, and then his right hand slowly plunged into the stone in an uncanny way, as if he had inserted not a stone, but the surface of the water, and all this was equally silent. After a while, the man's hand was withdrawn from the stone, and he held an object in his hand, and when he opened his palm, he saw that the whole body of this thing was black, not gold or wood, and in this night, there was a layer of luster flowing, and it was very strange. When the man saw it, he seemed to confirm something. After putting it away, he returned to the stone to look at Zhao Guang again, and then let out a chuckle and disappeared as if it had melted into the night. And after he disappeared, the sleeping Zhao Guang didn't know what he dreamed of, and a smile appeared on his face, but this smile always made people feel that there were a lot of coincidences.

....................................................................................

Some people's world is very big and ambitious to dominate the whole world, and some people's world is very small and they have been wandering in a small village all their lives, Zhang Shijie is a person with a small world, because he is the personal guard of the second prince of Yunlan Kingdom.

His life is a life that accompanies a person, and there is nothing else. It is better to say that it is a personal guard, but it is better to say that it is a partner, because he has been following the second prince since he was five years old, and he was only seven years old at that time. Although he later knew that there were still a large number of really powerful guards around the second prince at that time, and his function was more of a childhood playmate, but as time went by, he continued to work hard to improve himself, replacing the guards around the second prince, and finally left the name of "personal guard" on his body and became the exclusive personal guard of the second prince. He actually prefers the role of the second prince's playmate, because the company of the past ten years is deeply in his memory after all. With the deepening of the experience of the second prince, it is gradually engraved in the memory of the second prince.

He is convinced that he is very important to the second prince, although he is only a personal guard, but the second prince always calls him Xiao Zhang, he likes the name Xiao Zhang, which represents the intimacy between them, but he did not have the slightest distance because of this, he still abides by his duty, does his job seriously, and does not slack off. He knew that this was his whole world, and once something happened to the second prince, his world would collapse. Unfortunately, his world eventually collapsed.

Fifteen years ago, that day that made him shudder whenever he thought of it, he accompanied the second prince and others to hide in an attic under the Yangxin Peak behind the palace. The shouts came from far and near, and his heart slowly calmed down from the initial fear, and he knew that his time to serve this country and the second prince had come. Holding the knife at his waist steadily, he promised that as soon as the enemy appeared, he would rush out, and he would be the first to rush out, even if he was pierced by ten thousand arrows, he would not hesitate at all. But in the end, no one rushed in, or rather, he fell before the enemy rushed in. He remembered very well that in the midst of a burst of inexplicable laughter and shouting outside the attic, he fell down in a drowsy state, and he opened his eyes with all his might, but he couldn't see anything, he couldn't see it, but he could hear it, so he heard a sentence that he would never forget in his life, and he knew that it was the words of the second prince he had been protecting with his life - "Protect my brothers!"

This has become a nightmare that Zhang Shijie repeats every night.
