I can't sleep well after the wind and rain parting

There is a strange sense of familiarity.

An unspeakable sense of sadness welled up in him.

However, on the outside, he resigned himself to lying on the grassland, allowing a group of big dogs to "play" with him.

"Hahahahahaha! Young Master Huang, you are so charming! Anyway, this is the first time I know that dogs also go into heat in autumn?"

Tracking down the golden retriever who left behind the horses for no apparent reason, Fang Rui obviously couldn't outrun a dog with two legs, and now he rushed to the scene out of breath. Seeing Huang Shaotian like this made him amused.

"Shut up, you! This matter must have something to do with you, so you didn't run away! Did you secretly pour some 'hormone' on me again for experimentation? Don't look at me like this... Ugh!"

At first Huang Shaotian opened his mouth, he was very aggressive, but he was licked by the dog and was so tickled that he couldn't speak, and most of his momentum was vented.

"Master, I... also have a temper!"

"You can't refuse to treat Huang Shaotian!"

Fang Rui knew that these giant dogs were docile despite their size, and Huang Shaotian would definitely not be bitten suddenly, so he didn't stop him, but tried his best to hold back his laughter and shook his head solemnly.

"This is Lele's kindness! What is it called..."

He has always dismissed these awkward nouns, and it took him a while to find a word with similar meaning.

"Oh yes, it's called 'scenario therapy'! It is said that this is the most effective treatment method for people with sudden amnesia! Lele has read a lot... um... In short, it is the method that was obtained from Dasun's collection of books!"

When mentioning this unreliable cheap brother, Huang Shaotian could only roll his eyes to express helplessness.

"Oh, I said that I don't remember anything, but I remember a pair of eyes staring at me...you all line up one by one to look at me motionlessly in the middle of the night...every night when I open my eyes, I see a big face with a blank face. He lay down in front of me with an expression on his face, scared to death! Amnesia didn’t heal, but he got a heart attack again! Later, I don’t know who gave an idea, saying that the horses on our prairie are docile, with big and round eyes. I'm going to live with those horses for a few nights!"

Thinking of the smell in the stable, Huang Shaotian couldn't help but shudder—he never wanted to be near that ghostly place in his life!

"You have a great time with them!"

Fang Rui tried his best to keep a calm face, but the constantly trembling eyebrows and twitching facial muscles betrayed that there was a villain in him pounding the table and laughing.

Huang Shaotian has been with this person for almost three years, so he knows Fang Rui's temperament.

"Don't come here, come here! Don't pretend to be serious in front of me! Just you? You also have a wretched face!"

Fang Rui shrugged indifferently, anyway, he had already seen the good show, so he didn't want to make further progress, lest Huang Shaotian really become angry from embarrassment, Zhang Jiale's guard would never let him go - of course, he was very confident in defeating Zhang Jiale Yes, after all, that kid's swordsmanship is gaudy, good-looking is good-looking, but there are too many fake things, sometimes it is not as effective as his straightforward moves that are used to sneak attacks and only greet deadly places.

So he took out his whistle from his trouser pocket and blew the whistle, the golden fur was obedient, and immediately obediently got off Huang Shaotian's body, and squatted down beside Fang Rui, but still facing Huang Shaotian, that fluffy tail was still wagging vigorously.

Huang Shaotian finally got his relief, and quickly jumped up with a backflip.Perhaps because he had been lying on the grass for too long, he had a lot of grass stalks on his head, horizontal and vertical, long and short, all stuck in his fluffy chestnut hair.

While shaking his head to shake off the weeds, he kept stomping his feet and patting his body -- he was so busy, but his mouth was not idle, "Fang Rui, I can't stop talking to you! I think After three years, I didn’t think of anything. It’s definitely your problem! I remember my brother was so normal when he was a child, and he became so unreliable when he grew up. Offline, unscrupulous, outrageous cronies!"

"what?"

Before Fang Rui had time to talk to Huang Shaotian, he was attracted by his own ARCUS that suddenly lit up.

"Jiang Botao asked me to take you back for a physical examination."

For the front of the Imperial Liberation Organization, which gathered for revenge and had been aiming at this for more than ten years, Lu Xiuen's death allowed them to end their only goal for the past ten years, and they felt like a big stone fell in their hearts.

But the joy passed so quickly, and it dissipated completely in a blink of an eye, and they felt more at a loss—yes, at a loss.

They used to wield swords and live like corpses for a goal, but this goal has fallen, and they look back at their surroundings: the voices and smiles of the family members who have passed away have been blurred, and the memories of their lives have been replaced by a vast grassland. , and myself, what is the meaning of living?Just like a pack of wolves on the grassland who have lost their target, their eyes are lost in the undulating grassland and undergrowth; they are not like a pack of wolves, they can find the next group of prey immediately after losing their target.

At this time, the dying man brought back by Zhang Jiale after the war woke up.This man narrowly escaped death and survived, but his central nervous system suffered irreversible damage, and his memory became disordered—he remembered what happened before he was eight years old, but lost all memories after that.

What's amazing is that this group of men who have lost their goals in life are miraculously given to this guy who looks ordinary, whose only advantage is that he has a good-looking face, talks a lot, and can't explain his past clearly. cured.

—It turns out that they can live the lives of ordinary people.

Three years have passed, and they seem to have forgotten the tragic loss of their family and the pain of licking blood on the tip of the knife. Together with this man who knows nothing about their life for more than ten years, they seem to really wake up like Jiang Botao. The man said that it was the herdsmen who had lived on this vast grassland for more than ten years and did nothing. They drank the freshest goat milk with a smell that could not be removed every day, and rode with the most beautiful red goat's milk. The big maned horses are in a sea of ​​green, in the breeze on the face.

It might be good to live like this for the rest of my life.

After all, this may be the life they should have had.

The ordinary and boring life has passed much faster than the thrilling days in the past.

In the blink of an eye three years have passed, Huang Shaotian, who was only breathing at that time, was rescued by Jiang Botao, who has amazing medical skills, and now he is a lively, er, healthy young man who went to the house to expose the wreck.

"Xiao Jiang's medical skills are really worth mentioning!"

Huang Shaotian's body was full of strange tubes, and he gave Jiang Botao a thumbs up who was helping him with a routine physical examination.

"It is estimated that among the many people I know, there are only two people who can compare with you, but the two of them have big eyes and a crazy daily routine, and none of them are as normal as you, so they are often... eh... laugh at?"

Huang Shaotian spoke a long series of words without panting, but got stuck halfway.

Those words seemed to come out of his mouth automatically without going through his own brain, which made him try hard to remember when he knew the two people "in his mouth"—he didn't think about anything stand up.

But when he was about to give up, a picture quickly flashed in his mind: a man wearing a doctor's white coat with a pair of sad eyes was standing expressionlessly, and the man opposite him was smoking a cigarette. With a smile in his eyes, he seemed to be saying something that could make people angry, but the person standing next to the man had a blurry face, but he was rolling backwards and forwards with belly laughs.

This was a scene that made people smile slightly, but Huang Shaotian only felt that he was so sad that his heart palpitations.

"Shaotian... did you remember something?"

Huang Shaotian's hesitation to speak made Zhang Jiale's heart ache, and he immediately thought about Huang Shaotian's memory.

"No."

Huang Shaotian shook his head honestly.

Huang Shaotian has stated many times that he doesn't mind the loss of his memory - his life has not been disturbed by it, and he lives happily with his brother and his companions.But for Zhang Jiale, the elder brother who has not fulfilled any responsibilities for more than ten years, he is eager to know everything about his younger brother in these ten years: who is he with every day, what is he doing, whether he likes him Does anyone bully him... even any of his little colds, an insignificant sneeze one day.

When Zhang Jiale and the others brought Huang Shaotian back, the ARCUS on his body was completely broken and beyond repair.Therefore, there is no way to contact the acquaintances in his address book.As for the thing he was clutching in his hands—they took it out for inspection later—an ordinary crystallization circuit, although it seemed to be still usable, the surface had been worn so badly that it couldn't see its original appearance at all.

There were no other clues about him.

From another perspective, even though Zhang Jiale didn't know Huang Shaotian's identity on the day of the battle, he also observed him for a long time.Zhang Jiale guessed that he should be a member of the Fifth Army of the Empire, which was opposed to the Prime Minister and the Seventh Army at that time, and the guy who was with him at that time—maybe his partner in the same team, was most likely the one who cast the "Guardian of the Elf" on him .

As for why their already powerful intelligence network could not find any information about Huang Shaotian and his partner, there is only one possibility: these two people are members of a secret branch of the imperial army, for example, special departments, intelligence departments, spies, etc. Department—you must know that the group of guys in the cabinet are very defensive against them from the Imperial Liberation Front, so they didn't give all the information.Moreover, after Lu Xiuen's death, all members of their various organizations completely disappeared from people's eyes, let alone interacting with those old men who were engaged in politics.

After Huang Shaotian woke up, he couldn't remember anything, he only had a vague impression of Zhang Jiale.

It may be because of his past experience - although he doesn't remember it now, he is very defensive towards strangers, and he doesn't get in touch with members of the organization other than Zhang Jiale.At that time, he just told Zhang Jiale over and over again—when he closed his eyes, he felt a pair of amber eyes looking at him quietly.

Looking at his younger brother like this, Zhang Jiale felt really distressed, and almost told him what he saw, knew, and guessed that day, maybe he would be able to remember everything?

But Jiang Botao saw his intention, and he was stopped before he could take action.

"Do you want to destroy the hard-won peace of everyone?"

He remembered that Jiang Botao questioned him calmly.

He has enough words to answer each other, we can't be so selfish, it's not fair to my brother - that person must be very important to my brother.

But Jiang Botao's eyes seemed to be able to see into his heart, and he could see his struggles and small, imperceptible thoughts that even made him feel ashamed, "You don't want to live with your brother forever Do you want to make up for the shortcomings of the past ten years?"

He couldn't even say a rebuttal.

I had no choice but to turn to Huang Shaotian for his opinion.

"Don't you want to know who the owner of those eyes is? They are important people, right?"

He secretly made up his mind that if his most important brother told him that he wanted to know, then he didn't care what other people thought-tell him everything.

"Do not want to."

But they didn't expect Huang Shaotian to directly reject him.

He clearly remembered that Huang Shaotian raised his head and looked at him, with emotions in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

The younger brother quickly raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head again, as if to hide the grievance and disappointment in his eyes.

"If it's an important person, why doesn't he come to me by himself?"

Zhang Jiale opened his mouth wordlessly, wanting to tell him that the Pamino Plateau is surrounded by powerful barriers, which were set up by Sun Zheping of the Giant Race. Without a certain level of spiritual power, it is impossible to detect their existence.

If what Sun Zheping said was correct, the guy who desperately protected Huang Shaotian had clearly lost all his spiritual power, and it would be good if he survived, how would he go to find him?

But he just kept silent and didn't speak.

Because of what happened earlier, Huang Shaotian fell down in a rare mood.

As a result, the room fell into silence until Tang Hao rushed in frivolously.

"How long are you idiots going to hide for?"

Tang Hao was the only one in the group who was unwilling to live a life like a hermit. Perhaps it was because he was still young. In the past three years, he had often eloquently preached to his companions who had obviously lost their fighting spirit.

"As a part of the glory! We have the responsibility and the obligation to fight against those monsters that invade our living space! We all know the feeling of losing a loved one! Do more people need to experience this feeling?"

It's nice to be young.

No one understands these truths, but they lack the courage to speak out, let alone the drive to put them into action.Just like what Jiang Botao said, they managed to get a peaceful life - they had to use more energy than before to pick up a knife and gun.

"Damn it! Who are you calling a softie!"

Fang Rui was the first to jump up when he heard this, and grabbed Tang Hao's collar, "Don't act like you are the most righteous!"

Maybe they just lacked an opportunity to get out of this easy life.

"Don't think I can't beat you Fang Rui!"

Tang Hao wasn't afraid of verbal provocation at all, he gave Fang Rui a hard look, with the words "I have the guts to fight" written all over his face.

"Those disgusting creatures have all arrived in Blue Rain's town! How long are you going to lie to yourself?"

Tang Hao was picked up by the powerful Fang Rui, his feet off the ground, but he still didn't give up persuading everyone present.

He swept his gaze over them, from Jiang Botao with his head bowed down to Sun Zheping who was always expressionless, he scratched his hair irritably, but he didn't yell again.

He was silent for a few seconds, and finally his eyes stayed on Fang Rui who was looking at him angrily.

"Don't you want to have a big fight?"

Chapter 13

Qiao Yifan felt from the bottom of his heart that this monster in front of him was the scariest and most disgusting creature he had ever seen in his life for more than ten years.

It's not just its size that's scary - sometimes smaller creatures are more menacing, such as foxes and weasels, which are nimble and cunning enough to lure prey into their carefully woven webs but because it doesn't have a fixed shape, it's a black mass there, no matter what kind of attack it looks like a punch on the cotton.What's more, it exudes a suffocating, cold-footed breath, like a mass of grievances that have accumulated for hundreds of years. Just standing in front of it, they already feel extremely uncomfortable, let alone exaggerate. The knife faces each other.

Following the "over-exploitation of resources theory" to explain the reason for the appearance of Warcraft, some scholars in the east have proposed that the source of Warcraft is actually the negative emotions produced by people themselves or other creatures.

Everyone will have negative emotions: jealousy, resentment, complaints, dissatisfaction, and even injustice, it may be just a short moment, the nagging of best friends is so annoying that people just want to run away, or watch The proud son of heaven, who gets everything easily, speculates his incompetence with the greatest malice in his heart, or his lover's casual intimacy with others makes him feel jealous... These negative emotions are more frequent than the so-called happiness and satisfaction of people , seems to go faster too.However, they did not completely disappear, but were put into a certain corner of the heart, like in a sealed bottle, they slowly accumulated in the dark, and then multiplied, and finally—horrible monsters were born.

To put it bluntly, the two explanations are essentially the same.

These monsters that are now endangering human existence come from human original sin, arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and addiction.

Because of greed and laziness, he does not want to pay and blindly seeks from the earth and the universe; because of arrogance and jealousy, he thinks he is superior to any kind of creature, so he goes to self-destruction; because of rage, gluttony and sex, black negative emotions The accumulation finally spewed out.

Lu Hanwen swung a lightsaber that was taller than himself, and before everyone saw his position clearly, he flashed behind this magical beast - the Creator Demon.

He easily raised the huge lightsaber that didn't look light, and muttered words in his mouth - in just half a second, his chanting ended, and at that moment, his lightsaber "Flame Shadow" emitted light like it The red color is as beautiful as the name, like the shadow cast by a blazing flame on the snow-white wall, dark and unclear, it seems to be extinguished at any time, but no one can ignore its power!

However, Qiao Yifan discovered in the rapid attack of the torrent of cold crystals released by the monster that the moment Lu Hanwen made his attack, the Creator Demon turned around quickly as if he had eyes behind his back, and was about to attack. It stretched out one of its tentacles and swept Lu Hanwen away.

He sucked in a breath of cold air, and quickly searched for the corresponding countermeasures in his mind, but he didn't expect that Gao Yingjie, who saw Lu Hanwen's disadvantage at the same time, changed his usual cautious and cautious style, and rushed straight over with his pistol in hand. , Fortunately, at the critical moment, he cut off the tentacles of the Creator Demon that were about to touch Lu Hanwen.

Although neither of them were injured, Gao Yingjie's reckless act of exposing himself to danger scared Qiao Yifan so much that his heart rose to his throat.

He didn't bother to analyze the situation to find the best solution, and subconsciously shot with an instant time magic - fortunately, because the monster lost one of its tentacles, it temporarily focused its attention on the culprits of the result, Gao Yingjie and Lu Hanwen ——Qiao Yifan's "time destruction" hits the monster.

The magic effect makes its actions start to slow down and the casting time becomes longer.

Although the effect can only last for less than half a minute - but it is enough!

Only then did Qiao Yifan secretly heave a sigh of relief, and immediately cast the auxiliary magic of "Time Explosion" on Gao Yingjie.

And Gao Yingjie seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and chanted the higher-level fire attribute magic "Lava Fire Rain" between the lightning and flints that the magic took effect.At the same time, Lu Hanwen's lightsaber finally landed on the Creator Demon's eyeball - this was discovered by everyone after many unsuccessful attacks, and it might be the only part that could cause damage to the monster.

Lava fire rain!

Flame shadow cut!

Fang Minghua, who was in charge of the treatment, knew that when Gao Yingjie and Lu Hanwen attacked, their magic defense would drop, and they would definitely suffer certain damage.After quickly predicting the enemy's next move, Fang Minghua began to chant a medium recovery spell in the M range.

Qiao Yifan didn't even have time to catch his breath. He first applied the "Crescent Mirror" to the two people closest to the monster - a defensive magic that can bounce back a magic attack released by the enemy. In this way, he could have the monster chant two S-level magic spells. The chanting of the attribute loss magic during the duration of the time - Ye Xiu gave him the "Star Grail Explosion" before, the effect is to shorten the chanting time of all our allies for as long as 1 minute, it is really after the enemy's big move , the best support for our counterattack and replenish blood.

When the creator demon released the second raging torrent, Dai Yanqi had already shot the third fireball and hit the monster's left eye.Lu Hanwen held the burning "flame shadow" and chopped down along the center of Dai Yanqi's fireball, piercing straight into the huge white eyeball of the monster.

When "Flame Shadow" licked again, the dark purple blood of the bewitching dark purple monster flowed to the ground along the blade, and even brought some flames in the fireball to the ground—the flames were quickly strung together when they met the water, For a moment, it was as if an oil lamp was lit in the water cave, and the originally dark cave suddenly became a little brighter.

A group of six of them had been trapped in this enclosed space, fighting a huge, suffocating monster for two full hours with a tense spirit.

The eyes suddenly brightened up - so they could see a small lake not far behind the monster, and they didn't know if there was an upstream, it looked like a pool of stagnant water, with no quiet ripples.What's even more strange is that the color of the water is neither clear blue nor dirty black, but a kind of dark green, and there is a strange light shining from a distance, like a beast that suddenly lights up in the dark eyes.

Behind the lake, it looks like another exit of Shuiling Grotto: there is a faint light coming in from the entrance of the cave, which seems to be trying to cheer them up—come on, victory is just around the corner.

For a while, both sides maintained a state of ready-to-go, as if they were waiting for the other side to act first and then wait for the opportunity.

Because of this, they could clearly hear the sound of "tick-tick-tick" water droplets falling, and they didn't know whether it was the water drops falling from the stalactites nearby, or the sound of blood dripping from the wound on the ground by them or the monsters.

They are really a little tired.

Prolonged combat requires a high concentration of attention, which also accelerates the consumption of spiritual power and the loss of physical strength.

The wound that I hadn't noticed earlier began to ache.

The long chant is over.

"Star Chalice Burst" has finally been released.

Like the name of the magic itself, the effect released by "Star Grail Burst" is extremely gorgeous.

If it weren't for being in such an environment, this scene, even made a few children feel that it could be compared to the starry sky of the summer festival they once lived in, looking up at the finale fireworks - finely fragmented light like star diamonds , rising slowly from the mid-air, although there are no colorful colors, it looks like someone accidentally smashed the shining silver stars, and their fragments gathered above the children, warm The silver light shone down, and they seemed to feel that the always gentle mother was watching them with her all-encompassing eyes, and they only felt at ease and relaxed.

"what--"

With the help of the powerful time assist magic, Qiu Fei and Gao Yingjie instantly cast "Flame Tongue" - two straight, scorching flames headed towards their enemy one after the other, directly piercing through the opponent's body!

At the same time, Dai Yanqi's arrow with a fireball and Lu Hanwen's flaming lightsaber pierced the monster's left and right eyes respectively.

Under the violent attack of the raging waves, Fang Minghua's S range large recovery technique finally finished singing, healing everyone who was being tortured by the storm brought by the enemy's water magic.

Four hits!

The creator demon let out a scream that resounded through the sky, and then, a dazzling light burst out from the center of its body...

"Did you make it!?"

Lu Hanwen shouted excitedly.

The figure of the monster gradually disappeared into the white light, and the six of them were more or less relieved.

They have basically exhausted their spiritual energy, and their injuries are relatively serious, and they really can't bear to fight for a little longer.

however--

They worry too early!

It was like a storm had suddenly rolled up on the still calm lake, and the faint green lake water swirled somehow, as if attracted by something, and rushed towards the center of the lake.In a blink of an eye, an extremely thick water column was formed in the center of the lake, which could not be hugged by five people. It continued to rotate and rotate, thereby attracting more lake water, and at the same time, it produced even greater storms. Roaring seems to overturn this piece of land!

The six people covered their faces with their hands, trying hard not to be blown away.

After a full 10 minutes, the place where they were located gradually calmed down.

however--

A guy bigger than the Warcraft just now stood at the disappeared Creator Demon!

"Oops!"

The youngest Qiu Fei was the first to react, his voice trembling because of panic.

"This monster has another form!"

"This is how to do?"

The six people looked at each other in panic.

They were all so bruised that it was too much for them to fight again.

Not to mention that the second form of the creator demon is obviously more terrifying and more difficult to defeat than the previous first form attribute.

When the six people were stunned and didn't know what to do, their enemy had already finished singing - a huge black wave swept towards everyone!

Gao Yingjie subconsciously turned his head to look for Qiao Yifan, and when he saw that he was two steps to the west of him, he quickly ran over and held his hand tightly.

"Yingjie?"

Qiao Yifan looked at the visitor inquiringly.

The other party didn't respond, but grabbed his hand even harder.

He didn't ask any more questions, just smiled clearly, and firmly held the other party's hand.

In the face of this moment of great disaster, at least, we are together.

"Can the imperial army do it! Let a group of young children deal with monsters of this level?!"

The six children were ready to die, but someone came.

Before they could find the source of the voice, a wall of light rose up in front of them in an instant, directly bouncing back the water flow from the Creator Demon.

Only then did they have the opportunity to see clearly the person who actually saved them.

There is more than one visitor.

A man with a hunchback holding a knife in both hands, although he had just blocked a blow for them, but looked a bit wretched rather than heroic, seemed to be the one who had spoken just now; a man with short and medium hair tied behind his head, was He smiled at them with a good temper, as if to let them not care about the man's insults to the military just now; standing next to him was a man with short black hair, his sword eyebrows were frowning at this time, and he was holding a heavy-looking big gun in his hand. Jian was the only man in this weird team who seemed to be observing the monster seriously; a short-haired man with an impatient look on his face, he walked over and kicked the man who spoke first on the back.

one left……

"Huh? Young Master Huang?! Is it Young Master Huang?! Young Master Huang, I am Xiao Lu!"

Just when Qiao Yifan felt that this person looked very familiar and wanted to take a closer look, he heard Lu Hanwen waving excitedly at this person—it seemed that he was an acquaintance.

However, the chestnut-haired man just glanced at Lu Hanwen inexplicably, and then lowered his head to check the guiding gun in his hand—he did not recognize Lu Hanwen.

Everyone else didn't respond to Lu Hanwen's enthusiasm. Only the man with the ponytail turned around and stared at him for a long time after hearing Lu Hanwen's yell. up.

Huang Shao?

Young Master Huang...God?

This is... Huang Shaotian?The... partner mentioned by the seniors?

Qiao Yifan finally remembered why he felt there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity between the brows and eyes of this chestnut-haired man.

He had seen a photo of this person before: Ye Xiu's desk was piled with documents everywhere, and there was only one delicate-looking photo frame, and the photo inside was Ye Xiu and a man—the man in front of him.

Qiao Yifan can think of such a thing here, because it is a very impressive photo that no matter who looks at it will smile knowingly:

Ye Xiu's nose and the corners of his mouth seemed to be stained with cream or something similar, and he crossed his hands on his chest a little awkwardly, probably because he wasn't very used to taking pictures; while the chestnut-haired man next to him was very familiar with the camera, The smile was so bright that the eyes were narrowed, and two small canine teeth were exposed.With his left hand, he made a naive scissors hand on Ye Xiu's head, but with his right hand, he desperately pulled the corner of Ye Xiu's mouth, as if trying to help him make a smile—the intimacy between the two was natural, and they didn't need anything at all. Beaks from others.

And the reason why Qiao Yifan noticed such a photo frame was because it really didn't fit in Ye Xiu's office, but it was also because, when he walked into the other party's office countless times, he saw Senior Ye Xiu, on a table that was forever The chaotic guy who never had room for someone to sit on the hospitality sofa meticulously, patiently, and repeatedly rubbed the old-looking photo frame.

——It's like carefully embracing the best but most fragile memory.

Chapter 14

Why do people have greed for things that do not belong to them?

For example, about this magnificent imperial palace, and what it represents, the supreme right.

Ye Xiu couldn't imagine what kind of mood the owner of this palace used to live in this huge, gorgeous and empty house every day, facing all day long with flattering servants, scheming ministers, and obedient and friendly people. Brothers and children—everyone wears their own mask, and they don't know what the truth is.

He is now in the Hall of Mirrors where the royal family holds balls—it is said that the most magnificent hall in the entire palace.

Even though it was already dark and he couldn't see all the furnishings in the hall clearly, Ye Xiu could still imagine what kind of arrogance filled this magnificent hall of mirrors, reflected by so many decorations and gleaming silver mirrors. The breath of luxury and corruption.

Retro and complicated crystal chandeliers are decorated on the roof every three to five steps. There are many famous ancient murals on the top, all of which are painted with the best paint. Every once in a while, a large number of skilled craftsmen are required to carry out restoration work.Now, hundreds of years later, it still exudes the luster of the original creation.

At night, when the waltz music is played, the crystal lamps create the most appropriate white and yellow intertwined light colors. Those men and women, drinking and drinking, talk, dance and say goodbye with a hypocritical and delicate face.

If it is a daytime scene, the garden outside the palace can be seen from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the mirror gallery.

If he had to use a number to describe the size of the garden, Ye Xiu couldn't say it. He could only describe it in an abstract way. The garden was so big that he couldn't see the end from the window.

It is said that when the weather is nice, those noble ladies will drag their long skirts to the garden center for a picnic - there is a small lake of moderate size and rumored to be very beautiful, with a fountain in the center.

They elegantly hold the British teacups that they are proud of, with beautiful patterns and intricate craftsmanship. When life has begun to be intruded by those disgusting things, they talk about their troubles in a superior tone-today's black tea seems to be too sweet with an extra cube of sugar.

Although he was born in a duke family, he could be regarded as a member of the nobility—Ye Xiu didn't seem to have the right to say anything, and he was actually familiar with many things.

When time passed by and time drastically changed the once high-spirited, pointing, and frizzy boy into a man who looked at everything with cold eyes and wanted to hold his hand to protect him for the rest of his life, those unwatered blocks, untouched The subdued pride finally dormant in the deepest part of the body.

Fortunately, the person he loves deeply is careless and arrogant on the surface, but he is just like him in the bottom of his heart, cynical, daring to love and hate, and deeply in love with the homeland where they live.

He doesn't have to hide his grievances and ambitions—the other party is actually the same as him, so he can understand his feelings and resentment from the bottom of his heart.The only difference is that after going through the extraordinary years, he began to learn to hide his sharpness, and tried to do things in a more tactful way, while he loved him—no matter how many times he fell, No matter how many times he hit the south wall, he still didn't change his original intention. Under his seemingly disapproving appearance, there is a sincerity that no one can match.

It has been three years since the two fought side by side for the last time.

Ye Xiu, who finally rejected Zhou Zekai's request to act together, was standing alone in the silent corridor of mirrors.

The moon bent over the branch, smiling and pouring in a beam of dim silver light, which stretched the man's shadow long, but made the man who was alone in the middle of the empty and quiet hall all the more lonely.

No one worried that he would not be able to cope with the task alone.

Although the "red devil
