Fighter of the Destiny

"It would be best if you can kill him, but what if you can't kill him? And don't forget that until now, there is still no sound from the palace, or... the empress is also hesitant."

Tianhai Chengwu looked in the direction of Gan Terrace in the distance, with fatigue and sadness on his face. He had been planning and preparing for the throne for more than ten years, but now it seemed that the road ahead was still covered in the night. Or it's painful, but he has to start thinking about other paths.

"Isn't father worried about the future?" Tianhai Shengxue asked.

In recent years, the Tianhai family has been extremely prosperous, including the Chen family, the Tang family, the Qiu Shan family, the Zhu family, the Luofeng family and other millennium-old families with profound foundations have been suppressed to death. To say that these families and those who aspire to the royal family have been suppressed to death. Most of the officials have no objections to the Tianhai family, and no one will believe it. If the Tianhai family cannot ascend to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and everyone will push them away when the wall falls, who will show mercy?

"He is the son of my aunt, and the blood of my Tianhai family flows in his body. Even if he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, will his mother's family be exterminated? No, no matter whether it is Shang Xingzhou or the Pope behind him, he will I feel uneasy, and we have to rely on our strength in the end." Tianhai Chengwu looked at Gan Terrace in the distance, his short beard fluttering gently in the night wind, giving people an extremely capable and tough feeling: "We are not Zhou Tong , once someone loses his family, everyone will shout and beat him up, so we have to be more cautious."

Tianhai Shengxue understood what his father meant, but...if the rumors were true and Chen Changsheng was really Prince Zhaoming, then it would pose a threat to the Holy Empress. Do you need to think about the future in advance at this time? He suddenly felt that the night wind in the garden had become colder, and then he remembered that it was already a bleak autumn.

The current status of the Tianhai family is of course inseparable from the Holy Queen, but as Mr. Tang often said when he was fishing by the Wenshui River, the Tianhai family and the Holy Queen have never been the same thing. The family has a lot of hidden strength. Even if they lose the care of the Holy Queen, no force can uproot this family overnight.

——A truly far-sighted and wise man will never put the future of a family entirely on one person, even if that person is the strongest person in the world. The Zhu family in Tianliang County prospered because of Zhu Luo, but now they are about to wither because of the demise of this strong man. This is a lesson and a warning to all families.

And no matter how great a person is, there will always be a day when he returns to the sea of ​​​​stars. Emperor Taizong is dead, and Zhou Dufu is dead. Who can escape the words of life and death?

Countless people poured into the night from the manor of the Tianhai family and the yamen controlled by the Tianhai family, and began to search for the whereabouts of Chen Changsheng. Naturally, many people were alarmed. Those people immediately noticed the suspicious movement of the gloomy yamen in the Beibingsi alley, and then Only then did they learn the source of all the commotion from the National Education College—Chen Changsheng left the National Education College and went to an unknown destination.

Warning bells rang in the palace, and the priests dispersed into the night. The lights in the ecclesiastical office were lit at the same time, illuminating the plum blossoms in the corridors with an eerie beauty. More than two hundred cavalrymen came from the maple forest. Bian sped out, heading towards the National Education College with thunderous hooves.

On an early autumn night, the situation in Kyoto suddenly became tense, the atmosphere was extremely chilly, and there were yellow leaves falling.

…

…

How to die, that is the question. Ordinary people are generally not very willing to think about this question, and will avoid it subconsciously whenever they think about it. Chen Changsheng's life journey is not ordinary, so he has thought about this question many times, and has his own very clear answer or attitude. .

Live happily and die alone, this is the answer that Zhexiu and Tang Sanliu guessed, but it is not his answer. He may choose to be alone when he leaves this world, but during the previous period, he would not He would live in isolation, lower his head, lick his wounds and remain silent. He left not to find his own grave, but to do something.

Zhexiu's words reminded him that the world was indeed full of malice to him, but some people living in this world had shown a lot of kindness to him. Before leaving this world, he had to repay those kindnesses and respond to those malices. That's what he has to accomplish.

On a quiet autumn night, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are full of spies from all forces. The cavalry of the imperial court and the state religion are galloping on the straight streets at high speed. Countless people are looking for him and trying to kill or protect him. However, at this time , he had already avoided everyone's sight, held a yellow paper umbrella and quietly came to Beixinqiao, and then jumped into the dry well.

The space at the bottom of the well was still dark and full of chill. He, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, fell towards the extremely far-reaching ground, faster and faster, as if he was about to turn into a stone that would perish with the earth, but there was still a short distance from the ground. When he was tens of feet away, a thick breath appeared under him like a soft cushion, slowing down his fall a lot.

This situation had happened many times. He didn't panic at all. He adjusted his posture. After the breath dissipated, his feet landed steadily on the ice-covered ground.

A little light appeared on the dome of the cave. It was a luminous pearl, and then countless luminous pearls lit up one after another, as if stars had descended here. A mountain-like black figure floated over from a distance seemingly slowly, but actually quickly, looking down at him from above. .

Under the silver light, Black Dragon's eyes, which were larger than the building, shone with a cold light. They were filled with violent emotions, but they also gave people a particularly indifferent feeling.

This kind of meeting had happened many times, but this time was different from before. Neither Chen Changsheng nor Heilong spoke. They looked at each other in silence in the cold wind, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

I don't know how long it took, but an angry dragon's roar rang out in the underground space. The radiance of the night pearls falling from the dome trembled with it. The years of snow and frost on the ground danced everywhere, hitting Chen Changsheng's body. Like a whip, it leaves many deep or shallow marks.

Chen Changsheng could understand her mood at this time, so he endured it silently.

The dragon's roar gradually disappeared, the wind and snow gradually stopped, and the black dragon looked down at him. There was no sense of indifference in his eyes. There was only violence and anger, and a touch of... confusion.

"You...you...you're going to die?"

After the dragon's roar disappeared, it was replaced by the voice of a human girl. It could be heard that she was in a panic now.

Chen Changsheng looked at the black dragon and felt that it was such a huge contrast that its voice was so pure and tender despite its size and terrifying state.

"Yes."

The black dragon became angry again. The tail of the dragon, which was more than ten miles away, hit the wall. However, before it could fall, it was blown away by the formation on the wall, and countless snow and frost collapsed.

"But...but..."

Black Dragon looked at Chen Changsheng, with a hint of pain in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was the formation's backlash or because he saw his sad future scene, and his voice trembled slightly.

"...You haven't learned dragon language yet."

"I'm sorry." Chen Changsheng lowered his head, then raised it up after a while, looked at her and said, "I may never be able to learn dragon language in this life."

"Then...then...you are not allowed to die."

Chen Changsheng remained silent.

Black Dragon said sadly: "You haven't done what you promised me, how can you die?"

"I'm sorry." Chen Changsheng apologized again and said, "I once promised you that I would find a way to rescue you from here..."

"Yes, yes!" Black Dragon's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said continuously: "You haven't rescued me yet, how can you die? I won't allow you to die like this."

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to get you out."

Chen Changsheng looked at her and smiled, very happy and sincerely: "During the journey back from Hanshan, I had a lot of time to think about things. After calculating for a long time, I decided that we should start with Time Roll. I will go to Shishi later. The formation on the other side of the wall should be perfected once to ensure that the Taoist power of the Time Scroll can be transported for a long time. However, if you rely only on the formation, it may take a long time to eliminate the restriction with the power of time, so I suggest you do it yourself Start practicing the Time Scroll, and you may be able to speed up time a lot."

He suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, I met Wang Zhice in Hanshan, but I was too pressed for time and I forgot to ask him these things."

Hearing that person's name, Heilong, who was still immersed in the anger and sadness of Chen Changsheng's impending death, couldn't help but be startled and asked: "That liar is still alive?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Although he has not claimed his identity, he should not be wrong."

The black dragon's voice became colder and full of resentment: "He is really a wicked person for ten thousand years."

Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say. If we look at it from the perspective of Black Dragon, she was just an ignorant little dragon girl at the beginning. Although she committed many crimes after landing from the South China Sea, being imprisoned for hundreds of years was enough to atone for it. Why should sin be imprisoned in this underground place without sunlight all day long? But from Wang Zhice's perspective, as the military advisor and half-guardian of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, he certainly had the responsibility to protect the people of Zhou Dynasty.

"Chen Changsheng..." Heilong's voice suddenly became calmer.

"Huh?" He was a little confused.

The black dragon's voice echoed endlessly, with a touch of sadness in the coldness.

"...You shouldn't be a good person."

"……why?"

“Because good people don’t live long.”

Chen Changsheng lowered his head again and looked at the frost under his feet. He was silent for a long time as he recalled the road full of frost, wind and rain that he had walked in the world over the years.

He always believed that people like Wang Po were good people, and he was definitely not one. He was just doing what he wanted, because what he cultivated was what he wanted.

It's a pity that life and death are determined by fate, but people are unwilling to listen to their own wishes.

He raised his head and looked at the black dragon, wanting to explain a few words, but suddenly found that the black dragon had disappeared!

That dragon body like mountains and rivers just disappeared into the sky!

Chen Changsheng was extremely shocked and looked around, trying to figure out what happened.

Then, he saw a little girl emerging from the ice and snow on the ground.

The little girl was dressed in black, sitting in the snow, her skirt spread out, and two thin iron chains stretched out from behind the skirt, stretching towards the stone wall more than ten miles away.
