this king; that king

For the next few days, Ye Song didn't see the king again, so he could only practice spells every day.

The rain is still falling, and more and more places in the palace are sealed.

Ye Song looked out the window, but still couldn't see anything clearly.

The raindrops hit the window, leaving streaks of water. Ye Song looked around, and saw that the imperial garden had turned into a pool of mud.

"Ye Song, follow me outside." The king appeared behind him at some point.

"What are you going to do?" Ye Song asked.

"Mirrors, remember? It's the one I used when I jumped in the mud. I want you to show me."

Ye Song's heart became tense. This was the first time he was going to try to cast a large-scale spell in front of the king. After all, he was also a graduate recognized by the king himself. If he failed, wouldn't he be ashamed to death?

"Take off your clothes and put on the clothes I prepared for you." The king threw him a set of dark single clothes, "Don't worry, you won't see through even if you get wet, I don't want to see you naked , Of course I haven’t read it, anyway, I never went to wake you up.”

"Then you still know that I sleep naked?"

"The light bulb said, he said that you ran naked to the balcony to bask in the sun one morning."

"You and the light bulb really talk about everything..."

"Jealous?" the king joked.

"Yes." Ye Song admitted straightforwardly.

The king was startled, as if he had heard something terrible, and then immediately returned to his normal expression: "Are you kidding, change your clothes quickly, I will wait for you in the garden."

Ye Song put on the king's black robe and tried to wade into the water on tiptoe. The raindrops hit his head. He saw the king floating in mid-air with the flying spell holding the flower umbrella, watching with great interest. he.

"What are you laughing at!"

"Come here quickly, it's useless to be superficial! Why do you seem to have a clean freak? Could it be because of your zodiac sign?!"

"Don't forget, the database also said that our personalities are very compatible! The constellations are also very compatible, okay?" Ye Song shot back.

Unexpectedly, the king blushed suddenly: "Didn't you say it was a database error? Come here quickly!"

Seeing the king's appearance, Ye Song immediately understood that the database was actually right, but the king was too embarrassed to admit it.

If he is not an ordinary envoy, but a prince and nobleman, then he can marry the king and go home. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will not worry about not being able to catch up.

"I'll lend you the staff, go ahead!" The king threw down his staff, and Ye Song caught it smoothly.

"Aren't you going to demonstrate it again?"

"Maintaining the flying spell is very hard! Do you want me to fall into the mud?" The king rolled his eyes, "Hurry up, read the spell according to the book, and then poke the water with your staff, and then concentrate, and the water Bring them all in."

Ye Song looked at the staff, and he immediately felt the power placed on it. It was so difficult to drive it, but Ye Song understood that without the staff, it was really difficult for him to use this spell.

He raised the staff with both hands and chanted a spell towards the sky, a blue magic circle appeared under his feet, he knew that the time had come, so he took advantage of the opportunity to poke the staff into the mud pit.

A turquoise light emerged from the bottom of the mud pit, like a night pearl on the bottom of the sea, illuminating the water clearly and brightly, and the raindrops in the sky immediately began to gather in the direction of Ye Song to form a huge water column, but they did not rush straight into the puddle , but turned crookedly.

"What are you thinking? Concentrate! Don't doubt yourself!" the king reprimanded.

"It's simple!" Ye Song roared.

"Then you concentrate on thinking about something, and then focus on the water!"

Only a few seconds later, the bewildered water column suddenly had a direction and rushed straight into the puddle. The dark clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and the sun once again shone on the wet garden.

"Good job!" The king smiled approvingly at the soaked chicken standing in the puddle, "You have good concentration, what were you thinking just now?"

"Miss you."

"Again, why are you so nervous today?" The king obviously didn't take his words seriously.

Before Ye Song could say anything, the king put away his staff, walked back to the gate of the palace in three or two steps, and went in without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "Come to the roof of the palace the day after tomorrow to find me."

The sun in the sky seemed to caress his cheeks gently, Ye Song couldn't help taking a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain, and when he was about to look around at the surrounding scenery, suddenly the clouds were overcast and the rain poured down again.

Caught off guard by the rain, Ye Song helplessly rolled his eyes, lamenting that the heavens are not beautiful.

But soon, he realized that it wasn't just because of the abnormal climate around the palace, it was possible that the king was obstructing it.

Because on the next morning, Ye Song accidentally saw the interior of a room that was being renovated.There was nothing in the room, not to mention the furnishings, even the curtains were removed.

Ye Song rushed to the next room, and gently opened the door. As expected, the inside was empty, and there were no traces of decoration or tools at all.

Ye Song remembers that the first room to start decoration was the bar counter, there should be traces of decoration inside the bar counter, right?

But no, nothing has changed at all in the bar, everything has been demolished, but the walls and floor are still the same.

The king is lying?He didn't mean to decorate at all?

He wanted to ask the king to find out, but he couldn't see the king anywhere, the database was locked, the top floor was not open, the light bulb was gone, and even Morris didn't know where he went.

What was even more strange was that when he returned to the room, he found a large box next to the bed, which was filled with clothes of his size, all of which were made of materials used in the king's palace. There seemed to be some magic crystals in the small bottle with the label on it. Ye Song remembered seeing it in a book. These crystals were used to make the magic power burst out in a short time, and they could be said to be emergency life-saving straws.

The uneasiness in Ye Song's heart finally became a reality - the king really wanted to drive him away!

He waited for two hours, and it was almost time for lunch, and Morris didn't come back.

He ate lunch alone that day, and all the knives and forks on the table were taken away, leaving only his tableware and his favorite meals.

That night, even the dining room was sealed, and the dinner was delivered to his room while he was taking a shower. After eating, he could only stay in the room, because the entire palace except the road leading to the top floor and the database , and other places are also sealed.

Ye Song fell asleep with deep uneasiness and full of unspeakable words to the king. When he woke up, the weather cleared up, and the suit of clothes he wore on the horse when he first arrived in the unknown country was neatly folded on his desk. It also ingeniously matched a plain silver long chain and an early spring coat of the same color.

Ye Song put his clothes on neatly, but he purposely didn't bring his luggage. He was already ready for a showdown with the king, and this time he had to confess his love no matter what. If the king didn't let him stay, then he would move things away.

But the sky failed, and when he got to the top of the building, he found that his luggage was strangely lying on the doorway, apparently because of the light bulb.

Ye Song could only sigh, and pushed open the door on the top floor.

The warmth and splendor of the roof is obviously very different from the emptiness and loneliness downstairs. A soft light red dark floral woven carpet leads directly to a large beige cream flower parasol in the center of the roof. The round, snow-white and bluish delicate small porcelain sculpture sits quietly in the transparent luster of the whole circle of white marble fence.Unlit copper-shell high-foot street lamps are ingeniously scattered around, and slightly bent towards the middle. There are four strings of walnut-shell wind chimes hanging on the parasol. Two matching chairs surround a round octagonal carved glass table with a large cake and two cups of tea.

"Come?" The king was sitting on the chair with his back to Ye Song. He took a sip from his teacup and said to Ye Song slowly.

Ye Song noticed that the light bulb next to him had been replaced with a housekeeper suit decorated with dark floral velvet, the shoes under his feet were polished shiny, and his hair was neat. Ye Song had never seen him pour tea in such an elegant posture.

And Morris was also standing at the empty seat beside him, apparently waiting for him. He also put on the suit he wore when he arrived in the Nameless Country, and hung the delicate Western sword on his waist.

Ye Song pulled himself together, walked to the table and sat down, and took a piece of cake from the light bulb.

"I..." Just as Ye Song spoke, the king stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Let's talk after eating."

Ye Song nodded, but he didn't intend to let go of his momentum. Everyone just ate their snacks silently, no one said anything.

Ye Song noticed that this was the most solemn outfit that the king had worn for a long time.A long gown with golden piping with the dark pattern of Hydra, with three layers of lace crocheted with thin gold thread at the neckline, a half-fist-sized night pearl buckled on the slightly thicker belt, and twelve opals on the left and right waists. A string of fine tassel beads hanging down to the ground, covered with a velvet dark red satin robe lined with three layers of champagne gold tulle, embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, rare birds and animals, small gems seem to be regarded as sand Like, dotted with sparkling flashes in pieces.And the king's long black hair is hidden on the heavy ancestral crown, and a round black opal in the middle of the crown makes people unable to take their eyes off.

Ye Song probably guessed in his heart that this was a farewell party arranged by the king, and this time he really decided to say goodbye to him, so the arrangement was extremely grand.

But he didn't want to.

Seeing that the cake was about to be eaten, Ye Song couldn't take it anymore, he stood up abruptly, and was about to speak, but was stunned.

From the roof of the palace, the black smoke of war rose from the distant sky!

Ye Song's heart immediately seemed to be clenched tightly, pressing tightly against his chest, beating heavily, he looked at the king in horror, but the latter didn't seem to care at all, still eating his snack calmly.

Ye Song heard the sound of the trumpet, and he looked in another direction. It was the executioner in the palace who was executing the sentence in advance for each condemned prisoner.

"Ah Jin...you...?" Ye Song couldn't help trembling all over, he was in complete shock and fear, he knew exactly what this meant, he just wanted to hear the king say it himself.

"That's right, it's the army of the northern kingdom." The king took the last sip and took the last sip of tea from his cup. "They are almost reaching the capital, and my good days are coming to an end."

"Then... you are?..." Ye Song couldn't speak at all, he could only watch the king set the tableware, stood up supported by the light bulb, and picked up the gorgeous staff.

"My country is about to perish." Speaking of the word perish, the king's nose turned sour, but he still trembled and rolled down his tears. "I told you, I will definitely live and perish with the nameless country."

"Why? Why is this happening?!" Ye Song roared.

"Why?" The king's tone was something Ye Song had never heard before, utterly desperate and desolate, "Because I... am a foolish king, so I deserve what I deserve. Because I stole my throne, I was tortured." It's retribution. Because I don't deserve life and death...Obviously as a king, I have to accept loneliness...Hey...it's all over."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Song stepped forward and twisted the king's neckline, and roared angrily with tears in his eyes, "Why do you have to be a loner to be a king? Why do you think you are a fool? What kind of retribution will come with stealing the throne?! Let me tell you, Hua Jin, you* listen to me! I, Ye Song, like you! I have liked you for half a year! Don’t think that half a year is nothing, this Half a year is enough for me to keep you in my heart for the rest of my life! Anyone who dares not to see you, I will make him an enemy, and anyone who dares to harm you, I will kill him! Do you understand?!"

The king stared blankly at Ye Song's blushing but still resolute expression, not knowing what to say.Ye Song's tears gushing out of excitement hit his heart, the temperature from Ye Song's big hands from the neckline warmed his cold cheeks, Ye Song's heavy breathing stirred his brain, a burst of tinnitus struck, happiness The emotion mixed with pain made his body tremble, and he realized that his face was already blushing.

His own life was obviously chosen by him, but his life has long been inseparable from Ye Song.He forgot that this person was no longer the boy who didn't want to ride in his car, but a man who could give others a sense of peace of mind. He had forgotten for seven or eight years, and when he realized it again, he clearly understood , I still have nothing to do with him after all.

Ever since he melted into Ye Song's warm palm under the night sky full of fireworks, he understood.

Ye Song looked at the king trembling and bowed his head, as if trying his best to hold back his sobs, he gently reached out and stroked his cheeks twice, his tearful eyes were as clean as if he couldn't see them at a glance. The marginal sky, with a gentle smile, is like the sunshine in winter.

"Thank you for liking me, please don't think about me in the future..."

The king shook his hand resolutely.

"Bulb, send them to the port...quick!" He turned his head, weeping, and never dared to look at Ye Song's expression.

"Ah Jin?" Before Ye Song could react, he was pushed into the passage by the light bulb and Morris.

"Take him away quickly. Go out through the side door of the South Sea Gate. There is a small boat prepared for you. Then you can use the blue and purple crystals in the Ye Song box to launch it. The map on the boat has marked the sailing route. Take a detour to the west country and then go back to the east country by boat, be careful." The king said to Morris.

"Your Majesty, take care." Morris nodded solemnly to the king.

"Wait!" The king grabbed Morris, picked up a porcelain sculpture from the railing, and gave it to Morris. "Travel expenses, porcelain in the West is scarce, and one can sell for tens of thousands. We must protect him."

Morris took the porcelain sculpture and followed it into the opening of the passage.

"Your Majesty, are you really not leaving?" Light Bulb asked anxiously standing by the passage.

"I'm leaving, who will open the way for you? If the capital is gone, my mana will also disappear, and there will be no space to shuttle, and none of you will be able to go." The king stood by the fence, watching the northern army collide. Looking at the empty city gate, he let out a wry smile.

"Your Majesty is waiting for me, and I'll be right back." The light bulb promised.

"it is good."

At the moment when the passage was closed, the army of the North Kingdom rushed in like a tide.

"I didn't expect that this is the first time in my life that I killed someone with my own hands, and it's going to be ten thousand!" The king waved his hands, showing a mocking expression. He stepped on the railing, and he knew that his legs were shaking.

After the first glance, the king didn't even look at the people below. He raised his staff and said, "Database, berserk attack mode, start."

"Brothers, go!" The general of the Northland waved the flag, indicating the way to the palace for the invaders.

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky, and the clear sky immediately darkened until it turned into a thick gray black. A gust of wind roared in from outside the city, swirling towards the army, flying sand and rocks in an instant, and the vision was blurred. Soldiers have even begun to be blown away.

"Retreat!" the general shouted, but the strong wind drowned out his voice, and he was about to run when he saw it, and then he saw that the ground was covered with thick tree vines, tightly clamping their legs, On the ground in front of him, rocks like mountain peaks are rising.With a scream, the strong wind lifted them up and threw them heavily onto the hard rock. He heard the crisp sound of countless people's skulls shattering, and his leg was broken, and he was blown to the side of the sand. .

The general was completely incapacitated, but luckily there was an army behind him. Seeing that the wind had calmed down, the soldiers who rushed up picked him up and transported him back to the rear of the team.

The northern army had almost filled half of the city. The king waved his hand, and the clouds in the sky shook like a war drum, as if a scarlet wave was set off.

"Heaven... sky fire!"

Dozens of bright and huge fire balls fell in the air, and the moment they touched the ground, there was a bang, and thousands of fire lights ignited the city and the thousands of troops in the city.From a distance, the capital looks like a blazing brazier.

"What's going on?! Withdraw the troops! Quickly! Detour and attack from the sea!" The general gave an order, and the burning army began to retreat at full speed. Countless people hurriedly beat their bodies to put out the fire, and the howling of pain echoed in the king's ears.

When the army was about to withdraw from the city gate, the general suddenly heard a mocking young man's voice from a distance:

"How are you all? Look at you guys, do you want some water?"

"You have the ability to come out of the palace!" The general replied.

But the king was speaking to them with the enlarged voice transmission technique of the paging line, and no matter how much the general insulted him, he couldn't hear him. The king moved his staff towards the sky, and it rained heavily in an instant.

The general thought it was God helping him to attack the city, so he hurriedly ordered to slow down and retreat, and attacked again at the right time, but he didn't expect that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, washing the capital like a waterfall, and soon the city wall was filled with In the big pool of rainwater, a shocking wave hit the sky, and all the troops rushed out of the city.

"Quick! Defensive posture! Report the number of casualties!"

"General...there is no defensive posture to place..." The counter bowed his head and said, "The [-] army...the whole army was wiped out."

"Damn it!" The general dropped the soldier talisman, "I can't help it, let those monsters come out!"

The passage seemed to be long and endless. Ye Song and others skated for a long time, but they still couldn't see the end. Seeing the worry on Morris's face, Ye Song knew that he must know everything clearly.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Master, I don't know."

"Nonsense! Then where did you say you went last night? Did you help Ah Jin collect things?"

Morris didn't want to deceive Ye Song, so he thought it would be better to let Ye Song know.

On the night when the king was passed out by Ye Song, the remnants of the descendants of the eldest prince of the Wuming Kingdom finally rebelled under Ting Lan's instigation.In the bandits' camp, Ting Lan killed the cronies of the eldest prince's party and the bandits, and lobbied to plant them on the king, which disturbed the hearts of the eldest prince's descendants. In the forest, the king completely lost contact. The thieves are ready to move and are about to make trouble, but the king miraculously has news, which once again convinces them that everything is the king waiting for the opportunity to eradicate the troubles again after a hundred years.

Ting Lan's goal from the very beginning was to annex Wuming Country. Under the king's policy of valuing economy and ignoring national defense, the army of Wuming Country was seriously insufficient.The eldest prince's party is the way out for the northern kingdom. If the marriage fails, they should cooperate with the outside world to kill the king and replace them.

While the king was in a coma, Bulb ran around, but still couldn't resist the overwhelming soldiers of the Northern Kingdom. The Eastern Kingdom refused to send Ye Song back because the king missed an appointment, and refused to help.By the time the king woke up, the front line of the Wuming Kingdom had already completely collapsed. There were only less than 2000 people left in the country's [-] troops and [-] local bureaucrats and private soldiers.

The king understood that even if he killed the leader of the rebellious party, it would only shake them for a while. When the light bulb tried Tinglan, the king made a decisive decision, personally controlled the database, and used his own magic power to build a defense. The entire army stopped defending and immediately escorted the people of the whole country to go. Capital port fled.

The bustling crowd at the port that Ye Song saw that day were the refugees who had left the nameless country. The fireworks were the king's final apology and thanks to his people.

The drowsy heavy rain in the palace was arranged by the king around the palace in order to prevent Ye Song from seeing all the people in the capital fleeing with their families. He knew that Ye Song had never seen any turmoil, so he could not let Ye Song have any fear or worry. .

Later, the cook also escaped, and the king's food inventory also decreased, so he could only save money and try to cook the same meals for Ye Song, but he seldom dined with him, in order to prevent Ye Song from finding out that the food he ate was not good enough. Same.

Feng Gong lied that the purpose of the decoration was to transfer out the rare treasures and hide them, so that the people of the North Kingdom would not be able to make a fortune even if they died.

Ting Lan was able to escape because, except for a few guards, no one in the palace watched her. Everyone fled, and it was not difficult for her to get out.

In the end, the passage was so long because the king was going to launch the Heaven and Earth Formation, which is said to be able to hold a thousand troops by one person. He was afraid of accidentally injuring Ye Song, so he asked the light bulb to keep them until the practice was completed before they could go out.

"Then...Ah Jin finished fighting the Northern Army...will he be able to go with us? Huh?!" Ye Song tugged at Morris's clothes and asked with a growl.

"Impossible..." Morris hesitated for a while, but still told the truth, "The formation of heaven and earth consumes too much mana. After using it, the vitality will be severely damaged, and they will be unable to defend themselves. In addition, the northerners have alienated monsters to help them fight. Soon, the area of ​​the capital of the Nameless Kingdom belonging to the king will become smaller and smaller, even if the light bulb can be worn back to the king, if you want to bring him out..."

"Bastard! Do you mean... let me watch Ah Jin die?!"

"Yes!" Morris looked at Ye Song's face full of tears, and firmly declared the fact, "The king told you yesterday that you can only become the real you if you experience real pain. This is your last One lesson... as a king, you will never turn your back on your country."

The moment Ye Song slid out of the passageway, he saw the ruins of the wet houses all over the ground, including the armor and remains of the Northern Army. running everywhere.

The palace on the top of the mountain made a loud noise and began to collapse like sand.

"Ah Jin!... Let me go!" Ye Song struggled to break away from Morris's grip on his arm. He had only one thought in his mind, and that was to go to his king.

"Master! We are going!" Morris tried hard to suppress him, but was knocked to the ground by Ye Song's water knife.

"I'm going back to find him!" Ye Song had just taken a step when he was stabbed in the back of the head. He immediately passed out and lost consciousness.

"You're welcome." The bulb picked up Ye Song, put it on the horse's back, and led the two horses to Morris, "Your horses are here, escape according to the planned route, and soon this place will not be safe anymore gone."

After speaking, the light bulb opened the passage opening, ready to rush back, but found that the passage opening had lost its function, and he was spinning in place.

"Contract... contract..."

This was the first time Morris saw Bulb crying.The bulb immediately realized that the king had deceived himself. After he sent the horse here, he canceled the contract with the familiar. The meaning was very clear. Will die with it, the king wants the light bulb to live well.

The light bulb gritted its teeth, turned into a rabbit shape, and rushed towards the palace like a bullet.

His king is a fool, without him, what would the light bulb do!

"Rabbit!" Morris called him reluctantly.

The light bulb turned its head, and the end of the world was reflected in its ruby-like eyes.

"It's a pleasure... to meet you once. Goodbye."

Bulb nodded, and soon disappeared.

Morris watched him leave, got on his horse himself, and shouted, the two horses galloped towards the city gate together at a brisk pace.

He looked at the warm soft light on the gray and white city wall under the sun, turned his head and nodded in the direction of the collapsed palace, his tone full of admiration:

"East Kingdom envoy Ye Song and envoy Morris, the mission has been accomplished so far, please return home, thank you Your Majesty!"

As soon as the words fell, the horse went out of the city gate, and his figure disappeared in the steaming mist, never to be seen again.

The author has something to say:

Well, it's over. In general, the writing is rotten, and the plot is dragging, dragging, dragging, and finally there is a perfect explanation!Um.
