Chapter 6: Farewell

When people are about to die, they always think of many good or regretful things, and Emperor Yue Ming is no exception.

It's rare that he didn't think of women, and he didn't think of wine and meat. Instead, I thought of twenty years ago, when he was still a prince.

The wolf of the North, the more.

Even if people are accustomed to calling it the dog of the Northland, it cannot negate the greatness of the Yue Kingdom twenty years ago.

As far as the country is concerned, it was the best of times, but also the worst of times.

Twenty-five years ago, 150,000 elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty marched north to Vietnam.

The first emperor of the Yue Kingdom, "Emperor Yue Ling", personally led 50,000 soldiers, and blocked the 150,000 elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty outside the Yanling Mountain, and the two sides were in a stalemate in the Yanling Mountain for three years, and finally ended in the defeat of the Great Zhou.

At this point, Emperor Yue Ling was respected by the people of Yue as the "God of War".

Just when everyone thought the war was over, a smaller, but more thrilling war had quietly begun.

On the day of triumph, Emperor Yue Ling suddenly died in front of the gate at noon, and died in front of hundreds of people in Yue Kingdom.

Almost everyone knows that this is done by Da Zhou. But so what, even if Da Zhou admits it, what can he do, not to mention that Da Zhou still refuses to admit it.

After the death of Emperor Yueling, before the Great Zhou called, the royal family itself was in chaos. First, the major princes killed each other for the throne, and there were great Zhou details to add fuel to the fire. In just two years, only Emperor Yue Ming, who was still a prince at the time, was left in the imperial family.

Even if it's a waste who can only play with women, even if it's a baby, he has to be put on the throne.

What's more, Emperor Yue Ming at that time did not reveal his true nature, and within a year of ascending the throne, he governed the country in an orderly manner, and even negotiated with the Great Zhou and won seven cities on the border of the Great Zhou. In the eyes of the ministers, he was even a Ming Jun, but what they didn't know was that the Ming Jun they respected would behead them in a few years.

Only Emperor Yue Ming himself knew that he was nothing more than a pawn of the Great Zhou, and all his decisions were decided by the Great Zhou.

He also thought about resisting, but Da Zhou planted a strange poison for him early, and he would have an attack on the first day of every month, and his whole body was itchy and unbearable, and only Da Zhou's antidote could save him.

Emperor Yue Ming doesn't want to die yet, at least not until he has had enough.

He knew very well that resisting was a dead end. It's better to obey the Great Zhou, and you can sing every night, and the wine pond meat forest.

No emperor would give away his country, but he did, which also has to admire Da Zhou's vision for selecting chess pieces.

Over the years, the Yue people have long forgotten their hatred, and the current Yue country is not worth letting the Yue people remember the hatred.

The seven border cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty obtained from the negotiations infiltrated the culture, etiquette, costumes, dramas, and even moral concepts of the Great Zhou into every corner of the Yue Kingdom.

The current Yue people are proud of their weekly rites and beautiful in their weekly clothes.

Especially this year, even the guards of the palace have been dismissed, and they have been replaced by some guards of the Great Zhou.

And Emperor Yue Ming was also thinking about picking up the last batch of concubines and picking a batch of concubines he liked, so he could follow Yuwen Xia to the Northern Capital with satisfaction.

But he never imagined that he would one day die at the hands of a woman.

The wind in the corridor is very strong and cold.

The fifth small building was only wearing a thin light gauze robe and stood at the entrance of the corridor, staring at the figure at the exit at the other end of the corridor.

She suddenly smiled, and excitedly raised her dagger and waved it at the opposite side, because she saw an acquaintance.

The fresh snow in the corridor had not yet been stepped on, it was so soft that Aji stood on the surface of the fresh snow, and there was no sign of sagging. Holding two pots of spirits, he walked towards the fifth small building, walking quickly and quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already walked not far in front of the fifth small building, but the snow behind him did not leave any footprints.

Aji walked up to the fifth small building, and before she could speak, he threw a pot of spirits in his hand into the fifth small building's arms.

He held up the flask and smiled, "Drink?"

The fifth Xiaolou also smiled, nodded and did not answer, casually threw the Aji sword in the snow, lifted the lid of the pot with one hand, and poured wine into it.

Without the slightest pretentiousness and artificiality, although she has only seen Aggie once, she trusts Aggie very much, which is an inexplicable trust.

She doesn't drink badly, but it's very good, if she doesn't drink well, she would have been slept with like wolves and tigers in Yanyu Building, even if she doesn't sell herself, she will become a sellout.

Aggie continued to laugh and drank down the pot of liquor in his hand.

A pot of liquor went down, and the fifth small building was almost a little drunk.

Her cheeks were red, her eyes were confused, and she suddenly stretched out her thumb and nodded seriously, "This is good wine!"

At this time, Aji had already picked up the short sword on the ground, wiped the snow traces of the scabbard and handed it to the fifth small building, and said, "I have been casting this sword for several years, don't lose it." ”

The fifth Xiaolou didn't care at all, waved his hand and said, "Why are you here?"

I don't know what kind of wine this is, the fifth small building seems to be really drunk. She only felt dizzy, her legs were a little weak, and she couldn't even speak clearly.

Aggie shoved the dagger back into her hand and said, "Why can't I be here?"

yes, why can't people be here?

The fifth Xiaolou was a little speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said, "King Yue has been killed by me, are you here to see his corpse?"

Aggie shook his head.

The wind was colder, and the wine in the fifth small building was already half awake.

Fifth Xiaolou continued to ask, "You don't seem surprised that I was able to kill King Yue?"

Aji said: "It's very easy to kill him, it's that you think too much." ”

Indeed, she fantasized about many scenes. There was a rain of arrows with thousands of arrows, and there were thousands of guards, but I never thought that it would be so smooth and simple.

The fifth Xiaolou groaned and said, "Why don't you come by yourself if it's so simple?" Don't say anything for fear of trouble, I don't believe it. ”

Aji spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm lazy." ”

It's a good reason for everything, and it's a good reason that can't be refuted.

Holding back the impulse on his face, the fifth Xiaolou exhaled deeply and said, "Then what are you doing now?"

Aji pointed to the fifth small building and said, "Come to see you." ”

The fifth Xiaolou also pointed to himself and said, "See me?"

Aji said, "Goodbye to you." ”

The fifth small building said: "Farewell, where are you going?"

In this cold world, although it is not clear what Aggie will think, the fifth Xiaolou has regarded him as the only person who can be called a friend.

Aji suddenly turned around and looked into the distance, turned his back to the fifth small building, and said, "Go home." ”

"Home?"

It was a very strange and extravagant word, she whispered, pondered for a long time, and said, "Where is your home?"

Aggie said two names that seemed familiar and unfamiliar.

"Cuiyun Peak, Green Water Lake. ”

The fifth small building chewed softly on the two familiar place names, and asked again, "When are you leaving?"

"Now. ”

"Now?"

Aji turned his head to look at the fifth small building and nodded slightly.

The fifth Xiaolou smiled wryly: "Then, can I come to your house to find you." ”

Aji also smiled and said, "I hope so." ”

After saying these three words, his gaze was cast into the distance, a gaze that only the prodigal son would have when he returned home.

"And this sword?"

"This sword was forged for you. ”

"For me?"

Aggie didn't answer, he was already far away, just like he had come. It's a bit funny to hold two flasks, two flasks that are already empty.

The fifth Xiaolou had a feeling that this farewell would be a farewell, she opened her mouth and whispered, "Goodbye." ”
