The court hall has been cleaned for a round, and now it has become the emperor's one-word hall.

The emperor was very proud. When he went to court, he no longer heard those harsh and long-winded mottos. There was no restraint, and the emperor no longer restrained himself.

The officers and soldiers are used to fighting on land and are not familiar with the sea. Many people have severe seasickness reactions, but they are not the only ones who are in a bad state. When the court is changed, the people below are also in turmoil. The whole dynasty is like a tree in the wind and rain. The trembling tree has unstable roots and a crumbling trunk.

However, in just a few months, the originally prosperous dynasty faintly showed signs of decay, but the bustle of the capital did not decrease but increased, as if the last carnival when the end was approaching.

The emperor indulged in the gentleness of the country, and was blocked by the compliments of the newly promoted officials. He thought that he had got rid of the shackles, was truly free, and that the world was under his control.

Although the border gate is very far away from the capital, the soldiers stationed there can also feel the smoke of the war coming from the more and more frequent temptations of foreign races.

They intensified their nightly inspections and strictly controlled the number of people coming and going. The atmosphere seemed to turn suddenly overnight, and everyone was as tense as a fully stretched bowstring.

In this kind of atmosphere, only the courtyard where Chu Ci lived was an accident, An Ran was so peaceful that it seemed that he was not in the world, and only here was Ye Qian able to unload his burden and have a good rest.

Holding a small water pot, he watered a young sapling that had just been planted bit by bit. The terrain in Xiguan is harsh, and it is not easy to grow anything. Only a few particularly stubborn plants can survive. This little sapling is one of them.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time for this tree to grow into a big tree." Ye Qian looked at it, sighed in his heart, and didn't say the second half of the sentence.

I don't know if he can wait until then.

Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Although he practiced martial arts, he could not fully guarantee his own safety. What's more, if foreign enemies really invaded, he would not be able to retreat.

His own life is not important, but if he leaves, what will happen to his Aci?

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing him in a daze, Chu Ci frowned slightly.

Ye Qian raised his head and said softly, "I was wondering why the emperor became like this."

Although the emperor didn't have great talent, he didn't make too many big mistakes. He was a mediocre emperor who was just mediocre. Why did he suddenly change to such a state?

Chu Ci curled up his lips: "Because of me, didn't you see it? Everyone persuaded him to kill me, but he still secretly hid me in your house."

Ye Qian shook his head: "So many people have seen you, it doesn't make sense that only the emperor would become like this."

Chu Ci walked up to him, "Why don't you believe it? The mermaid has the ability to charm, what if I only charmed the emperor?"

Ye Qian grabbed his waist, "Because I don't think Ah Ci would like the emperor."

"But didn't you hear it all before? You heard me and the emperor...huh?" Chu Ci got closer, he didn't need to pretend in front of Ye Qian, the mole under his eyes was bright and scorching, almost oozing Blood comes.

"..." Ye Qian was silent for a while, and finally said: "Although I didn't know anything about it before, I also know that when..., it can't be the sound of shaking branches."

He deliberately blurred the word "same room".

Ye Qian was really impatient that day and ruined the gift he wanted to give him, but when he came back to his senses, he remembered that there was no tree in the yard where Ah Ci lived that could support two people to do that. The dwarf phoenix, the branches and leaves of the phoenix are soft, you can neither lie nor lean on them, and there are gravels on the side, which is obviously not a good place to do things. Where does the sound of the branches shaking violently come from?

Thinking of the illusion that the shark trapped him before, Ye Qian couldn't help but have a bold idea in his heart.

The merman probably also used the illusion to transform the phoenix-tailed banana into a human appearance, deceiving the emperor.

Chu Ci bent his eyes: "What a smart little master."

Ye Qian's ears were slightly red, "A Ci..."

The pristine courtyard suddenly turned into a glamorous pleasure-seeking place. Chu Ci pushed Ye Qian down on the soft gold silk couch, and his long hair fell down all over his body: "Little master, guess again, is it real or illusory?"

Ye Qian tensed his back, staring at him without blinking: "Really."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because... you're here too." Ye Qian said, clasped his wrist, pushed him back into the bed, looked straight at him, and said softly, "A Ci, I think..."

"What are you thinking?" Chu Ci looked at him with a smile.

"I want you." Ye Qian leaned down, the distance between the two of them was so close that breath could be heard: "Can you give it to me?"

He raised Chu Ci's slender fingers, and slowly placed a kiss on them, and then kissed the slender wrist and flawless arm.

There was longing in his eyes, but he was still waiting patiently for his permission.

"Okay." Chu Ci wrapped his arms around his neck, narrowed his eyes and said, "Little Master is so smart, he must know how to please me, right?"

A slight smile appeared in Ye Qian's eyes: "Yes."

The bed curtain was lowered, and it dangled like a fish swimming in the moonlight. After an unknown period of time, a white hand suddenly grabbed its tail, and it was gently covered by the other hand. Hid back.

"A Ci," Ye Qian brushed Chu Ci's messy long hair, and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"

Chu Ci leaned lazily on him, not even bothering to move a finger: "What do you think?"

Ye Qian laughed, and pulled up the brocade quilt to cover Chuci's exposed skin: "I'm afraid I didn't do well enough and I'll neglect you."

[Hey,] Hearing this sentence as soon as the system was started, he couldn't help saying: [He also learned badly. ]

Chu Ci: […]

"Little master, you are being polite. Master is very intelligent. I can't see anything wrong with it." Chu Ci was extremely tired, and his tone of speech was very rude.

Ye Qian: "Is Ah Ci complimenting me?"

Chu Ci: "..."

Seeing that Chu Ci was really exhausted, even his reaction was delayed by half a beat, Ye Qian hugged him into his arms, and kissed him on the forehead: "Go to sleep when you are tired, I will be with you."

Chu Ci found a good place to sleep in his arms as usual, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After leaving the courtyard, Ye Qian was no longer gentle, and became indifferent and stern. There were too many things he needed to deal with. Ye Qian frowned deeply while looking at the traces of alien activities in the recent period. , The courier sent him another letter at full speed.

The letter came from the former prime minister. In the letter, he listed the emperor's recent stupid actions in detail, and earnestly asked him to go back to the capital with General Ye to dissuade the emperor. Finally, he said, if there is anyone in the court who can persuade the emperor, None other than the two of them.

Ye Qian squeezed the letter paper unconsciously, thinking, it's ridiculous.

He returned to the capital with his father, and there was no one guarding the border. If foreign enemies took advantage of this opportunity to attack, what would happen to the people at the border?

The east and west gates are the most important, like hands choking the throat. As long as the two gates are not broken, foreign enemies will not be able to enter. Now the alien race is becoming more and more active. If he and his father leave again, the two gates will be in danger.

If the two passes were seized, it would be tantamount to setting himself on fire. No matter how turbulent the court was, he would never leave.

Ye Qian randomly collected the letter, led the guards to inspect the city wall, and then stood in front of the beacon tower, looking at the vast golden desert, without moving.

Even from a long distance, he could still smell the smell of blood, from the battlefield full of bones, from the greedy alien race, and also from his robe.

It is a unique smell when the war is resurgent. It is full of ambition, desire, separation, and plunder. All human greed is piled up in the sea of ​​​​corpses and blood, and there is nowhere to hide.

I'm afraid it won't be long before this beacon tower will be lit again.

"God……"

The officers and soldiers who trekked through mountains and rivers finally found the merman on an island. At first, they thought it was blurred vision, but no matter how much they rubbed their eyes, the merman in front of them was clearly visible. With their soul-stirring beauty, they gather around the boat, and their voice is ethereal and distant: "Give us back our king."

their king?

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, not understanding what the group of sharks were talking about.

The leader of the shark tilted his head slightly. He hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and his tone was strangely jerky: "We can feel that there is a king's breath on your boat."

The officers and soldiers suddenly became excited when they thought of something, and exchanged glances with each other.

When they went out to sea, they brought the clam shell left by the first shark.

Is the merman who has been executed actually the king of this group of mermen?

They thought for a while and showed a kind smile: "Your king asked us to pick you up, would you like to leave here with us?"

The sharks stared at them fixedly, and suddenly sang a song.

The singing was so beautiful that no one, no matter how wary he was, had no power to resist in front of such a melodious singing. Not long after, the faces of the officers and soldiers on board all turned red, as if they were drunk, drunk and giddy.

I don't know how long it took, but the singing stopped.

The officers and soldiers woke up like a dream.

"Damn humans, you lied to us." The leader's eyes suddenly sank, and just as he was about to kill this group of humans, several alert soldiers suddenly ran out of the cabin carrying clam shells.

"Don't you want your king?" Several people threw clam shells on the deck heavily and said, "He has been locked up in the capital. If you don't rescue him, he will really die."

Shark eats.

The mermen's king was originally connected with them, but for some reason, they suddenly couldn't feel the king's existence, and they searched everywhere, but they couldn't find the king's trace.

The king of the mermaid has the supreme status, and the mermaid lives for the king all his life.

The king is gone, even if the king is in the human capital, they will go to find the king.

The leading merman was silent for a long time, then nodded: "We will go with you, if you lie to us, we will kill you."
