It turned out that in Xiao Shun's eyes, his behavior was called greed. Xiao Xingyun didn't explain too much to him, because it was difficult to explain at all. Should he be told that he had to do this, otherwise someone else would do it? ?

The guards in black pressed Xiao Shun and walked up to the tall tower.

The dusk was dim, the grass was not green, and the whole city of Kyoto was filled with an air of decay that stretched to the horizon.

Xiao Xingyun reached a high place.

"Your real name is not Xiao Shun. Your real name is Zhao Yin. Xiao Shun is the name I gave you, which means everything goes well. What does everything go well? Everything goes well until this step." Xiao Xingyun said calmly with overwhelming words. secret.

Xiao Shun looked at him blankly.

"Your mother is the current empress, and your sister is Princess Ying'an. After Empress Lu gave birth to you, she quietly sent you out of the palace and lied to the palace that it was difficult to give birth. She entrusted you to my mother. He said, I don’t want you to suffer from this royal struggle, and I hope you can spend this life in peace.”

Xiao Xingyun looked calmly into the distance, "Look at this country, it stretches for thousands of miles without end, but no one in the world is its real owner. If you were born in the royal family and grew up in the royal family, you would be crowned the prince as usual, but that would not be the case. To become the Nine-Five Lord, even if you can make tens of millions of people in this world kneel at your feet, you cannot make this world change one color for you. Even the tens of thousands of people kneeling at your feet are thinking in their hearts, but It’s to pull you off the throne.”

Xiao Shun seemed to see the third brother who encouraged him to study at the bedside, and also saw the third brother who taught him to read. He asked: "Are those people like you?"

Xiao Xingyun nodded, "Power never comes from the top down. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. Power comes from the bottom up. If you come up from below and defeat me, you will be the master of this world."

No matter how stupid Xiao Shun was, he understood now.

The third brother has been burdened with all the infamy for being deviant until now, just to send him to the throne, or in other words, the ultimate goal is to keep his position and push him up.

Xiao Shun felt ashamed of what he had heard about before. He replied tremblingly: "But I don't think I can do it..."

Xiao Xingyun shook his head: "Others may be able to do it, but if others come, the world will be devastated. Do you want to see such a scene?"

Xiao Shun shook his head.

Xiao Xingyun asked again: "Do you think you can do it now?"

Xiao Shun thought for a while, "I can try."

Xiao Xingyun nodded.

Xiao Shun asked again: "What should they do? Zhao Qingce in the west and Tang Jianchun in the south. I probably can't handle it."

Xiao Shun showed the expression that he used to ask his third brother for help when he encountered a homework he didn't know.

Xiao Xingyun smiled and said, "Tang Jianchun doesn't want this world."

Xiao Shun was surprised: "Then why is he so aggressive?"

Xiao Xingyun replied calmly: "He just wants to be alone."

Xiao Shun found it even more difficult to understand: "Who would have to go to such great lengths to get it?"

"Well, the person he wants is in the palace. The palace wall is too thick," Xiao Xingyun explained, "It needs to be beaten down."

Xiao Xingyun probably wanted to say a few more words at this point, and then added: "They should have been justified. After all, they had already made an appointment when they were young, but this huge imperial city could not accommodate their censor's family, so he simply distanced himself from the entire imperial city. limit."

Xiao Shun didn't ask any more questions and said, "What about the other one? Where is Zhao Qingce from the west?"

Xiao Xingyun replied easily: "I will kill him."

No one knew what happened. They only knew that a low-key prince in Kyoto assassinated the traitor Xiao Xingyun, took back the imperial guards, and took back the military power that should belong to the Zhao Dynasty.

It is rumored that Xiao Xingyun is dead.

Zhao Qingce in the west and Tang Jianchun in southern Xinjiang are still fighting fiercely.

But the world seems to be more peaceful.

Xiao Xingyun lived deep in the snowy area.

The day before spring came, Xiao Xingyun went up the mountain to visit the elders deep in the snowy area.

Spring comes late in the snowy area, and it gets colder as we go higher, and heavy snow falls in front of the house.

The elder is making tea.

Xiao Xingyun sat down and drank a few drinks, looking at the snow in front of the court, and filled a small pitcher under the eaves.

The elder said: "Most people in the world live once, which is enough. Living too many times is not enough."

Xiao Xingyun said: "That's enough. Let's do it again, but it will be painful again."

The elder sighed softly, "Don't you worry about me anymore?"

Xiao Xingyun sat there for a long time and said, "I'm tired."

No one spoke next.

After drinking the tea, Xiao Xingyun said goodbye.

He was indeed too tired and his mission was accomplished.

Tomorrow, he will do the last thing in his life. After that, he will leave this world peacefully in the snowy land where spring is approaching. It's like he's never been here.

No one thought that Xiao Xingyun, who had single-handedly planned rebellion, assassinations, mutinies, burned the imperial capital, stirred up civil unrest, and attacked the imperial city without any scruples, put himself to death and survived, and went deep into the tiger's den to obtain a son, would just die at the hands of a prince. in hand.

Zhao Qingce didn't believe it.

Xiao Xingyun looks nothing like Xiao Wei’s son! With his deep scheming, strong endurance, and great courage, he can be called the number one madman in the world!

Zhao Qingce did not lower his guard against him at all.

"Report!"

With the sound of a bang, the counselor beside Zhao Qingce's old heart could no longer bear it. He rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

"Panic! Shouting! What happened again? Xiao Xingyun called in?"

The soldier was stunned and replied: "No."

"Then what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"The people in the south cannot attack with force but attack with fire. The fire is already coming!"

"Fire attack? I don't think this is the idea of ​​that kid from the Tang family, it's like Xiao Xingyun!" Zhao Qingce's eyes were red and he said angrily: "I told you before that that idiot couldn't kill Xiao Xingyun!"

As soon as Zhao Qingce said these words, he heard the sound of a sword and a long arrow pierced his heart.

The people around were all dumbfounded for a moment, and the next moment, arrows shot from a distance knocked them all down.

"Zhao Qingce, this time, I stabbed him when I saw it right." The soldier pulled off his hat, and with long hair reaching his waist, Shen Yuan word by word, landed on the empty open space, which was shocking.

"General Zhao, do you think I look familiar?" Shen Yuan stabbed the sword deeper.

"I didn't know how to use a sword last time. This time, after I come back from learning, I won't let you live so easily."

Zhao Qingce's face darkened.

With a flick of his finger, a signal flare shot up into the sky and hit the drum behind him with lightning speed. Before a muffled sound could be heard, a crowd of piqus rushed forward wearing armor and holding halberds and sabers. Seeing the general being killed After being captured, the movements of those people stopped suddenly and they were at a loss.

"Come here! Capture this assassin!" Zhao Qingce lingered for breath, and with a command, two soldiers rushed forward, grabbed Shen Yuan, cut her arms behind her back, and held her shoulders.

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Zhao Qingce, I learned my lesson this time. There is poison in the sword. If you can't survive, it won't be a loss for me to die!"

"Who sent you?" Zhao Qingce frowned, his face was painful, and his eyes were full of shock.

Shen Yuan was wearing soldier's clothes, which highlighted her heroic appearance. Her face was as beautiful as a jade, and her eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting. Although she was tied up, she still stood tall and straight, and her hair was not messy at all. She smiled lightly and looked directly at Zhao. Qing Ce, "If you do too many bad things, there will always be ghosts who want to come to you to pay for your life."

Zhao Qingce didn't know why, but there was an unspeakable pain in his chest, and many pictures that had never belonged to him flashed through his mind.

He felt that his heart ached so much, but it was not the pain of a wound at all. His heart was actually aching.
