On the [-]rd, King Xiling attacked Sanfu, Gyeonggi.

A man dressed as a lieutenant-general knelt down in the hall. He was covered in blood and blood. A few inches below his shoulder was pierced by an arrow. The blood dripped on the ground and twisted like a small dark red snake. "My lord, forgive me, Hun cavalry Brave and brave, we have been fighting with the enemy for too long, we have suffered heavy casualties, and we are already out of strength, but the situation is still critical, and I am afraid we will not be able to hold on..."

Chu Mingyun looked down at him, and asked, "Zhou Yi has something you want you to bring to me?"

"Yes," the deputy general gasped, and raised his hand to firmly hold his bleeding shoulder, "General Zhou said that in order to repay the favor appreciated by the Lord, he must use his body as a shield and fight to the end. I hope the Lord can evacuate as soon as possible to protect himself."

Chu Mingyun remained silent.

The [-] elite soldiers in Beijing have been dispatched to defend the city. The city is almost empty of troops, and it is difficult to suppress and maintain stability. He quickly grasped the power enough to counter the Su Party of the aristocratic family, but now he saw nothing to gain, and his party was also executed mercilessly. Immediately, people's hearts were broken, and they stood on the sidelines and weighed the trend of the situation.

It really looks like the future is going.

The commander of the imperial army rushed in suddenly, and knelt down hastily, "Your Majesty, something is wrong! There was an urgent report just now. General Zhou Yi was killed in battle and the capital was breached. Li Chenghua is approaching Chang'an with [-] Qingqi!"

The deputy general was shocked, "General Zhou... General Zhou really..." His voice choked up.

Chu Mingyun frowned, but did not speak.

At this time, Qin Zhao also hurried in from outside the hall. Seeing this scene, he stopped and did not make a sound.

"Your Majesty!" The commander of the forbidden army looked up at Chu Mingyun anxiously, "The Huns' army is approaching menacingly, how should we deal with it?"

"How to deal with it?" Chu Mingyun cast a cold look, "How are you going to deal with it, is it possible that you also go to Kaesong to welcome him in?"

The commander shrank and lowered his head, not daring to answer.

Chu Mingyun grabbed the long sword and threw it in front of him, "Resist the soldiers!"

"Yes!" The commander held up his sword and hurriedly retreated.The deputy general looked back at his retreating back, and said worriedly: "My lord, Li Chenghua has [-] cavalry of the Xiongnu, all of them are brave and tyrannical, while there are only [-] soldiers outside our city. Soldiers on the battlefield, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop..."

"I know." Chu Mingyun raised his hand to press the center of his eyebrows, closed his eyes, "Go down and take care of the injury, you don't have to worry about the rest."

The deputy general didn't say much, and after saluting, he stood up with difficulty and left.After they all left the hall, Qin Zhao walked up to them silently.

Chu Mingyun didn't look at him, but said indifferently: "You go too."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, "Brother..."

"Aren't you leaving and waiting to die?" His voice was emotionless, with almost no ups and downs, "Let the shadow guards go away too."

Qin Zhao suddenly opened his eyes wide, "What about you?"

"Me?" Chu Mingyun hooked the corners of his lips, "I won't go, isn't it because of all this that I am living desperately, and now I have come to a dead end, it's all over, even if I can escape, what else is there to live on?" mean?"

He slowly spread his hands and looked down at the lines on his palms, "It's ridiculous, it took me nine years to get to this point, and it turned out to be a dead end in just a few days." He paused, then closed his fingers, "I It's not that I lost to Li Chenghua, it's that God forbids me."

Qin Zhao couldn't speak, so he could only stare at him.

Chu Mingyun glanced at him, and wrote casually: "Du Yue is still in the mansion, there is no guarantee what will happen after the Huns enter the city, why don't you take him away?"

He clenched the hand by his side tightly, the back of his hand was full of veins, but he struggled and did not move.

Chu Mingyun was extremely calm, as if he couldn't be shocked, "You came in in such a hurry just now, is there any bad news?"

Qin Zhao looked at him, and suddenly couldn't bear to speak, feeling as uncomfortable as a stick in his throat.

"Go ahead."

Qin Zhao opened his mouth several times, but finally he could only say in a muffled voice: "...Li Yanzhen is gone, and the Habayashi Army is coming towards Miyagi."

Chu Mingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed slowly without warning, the laughter grew louder, and echoed in the hall, "He is coming," the tone of his voice was joyful, his eyebrows and eyes were full He couldn't stop laughing, "He's coming, he's coming..."

Qin Zhao finally couldn't take it anymore, "Brother, Su Shiyu is coming to kill you!"

He laughed so hard that his body trembled, and he just looked up at Qin Zhao, "I'll wait for him to kill me." He smiled, "What is Li Chenghua, if he wants to kill me, he should do it."

Qin Zhao clenched his teeth, "You really are hopeless."

Chu Mingyun tilted his head, smiled slowly for a while, and said softly: "I haven't been back to Cangwu Mountain for many years. Brother, when you go back, toast a glass of wine for me in front of the master's tomb, and tell him that I don't regret going to the mountain. today."

Without waiting for Qin Zhao's answer, he pulled off the emperor's robe and put it on, and walked out of the palace gate of the imperial study room. The wind filled his clothes, and the golden patterns flickered in the black robe.

Du Yue waited for a long time in Taiwei's mansion, scratching his heart and lungs. When he saw Qin Zhao appearing, he immediately jumped up, "I rely on you two, what's the matter? I'm only here now. Let's go, take me into the palace quickly." There is something urgent to..."

He pulled Qin Zhao and hurried to go out, but Qin Zhao caught him with his backhand. Looking up strangely, he realized that something seemed wrong with Qin Zhao's expression, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Qin Zhao looked at him deeply, wanted to say something but gave up, and said instead, "I'll take you out of the city."

"What, I'm not going out of the city, I'm going into the palace to find Chu!"

"Du Yue," Qin Zhao said seriously, holding his hand tightly, "Chang'an is very dangerous now, I'll send you out of the city."

Du Yue was startled, and immediately changed his expression, "I'm not leaving."

Qin Zhaozhen felt that he was about to get angry, and he didn't bother to explain to him, so he forced him to go out.However, Du Yue suddenly shook off his hand angrily, "I said I won't leave!"

He stared blankly at his empty hand, unable to react for a moment.

Du Yue also came back to his senses, frowned angrily, stepped forward to hold Qin Zhao's hand again, and said in a barely peaceful tone, "You send me out, do you still plan to come back to find Chu by yourself?"

Qin Zhao looked at his grasped hand and nodded.

Immediately, a wave of fire came up again, Du Yue endured it, and said: "Your uncle, you still plan to share troubles with him, so it's nothing to me to send me away? Am I not worthy of your trust or it's useless Is it in the way of staying here?"

Qin Zhao hurriedly said, "No."

"Then you think I'm the kind of person who can leave you alive or dead and run away with peace of mind?"

"I..." Qin Zhao was speechless, "I don't want you to be in danger..."

"But I'm also worried about you." Du Yue looked at him.

Qin Zhao suddenly froze, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, Du Yue questioned in bewilderment, and he suddenly hugged Du Yue.

"You..." Du Yue was taken aback, feeling a little at a loss in his arms, he hesitated but still didn't push away, "Hey, you're like this... I'll take it as if you promised to take me..."

Qin Zhao didn't speak, but hugged him tightly.

The huge golden palace was dead silent, Chu Mingyun was sitting alone on the throne, with one hand resting on his chin aimlessly scanning the deserted hall, the other hand resting on the chair, he tapped lightly with his fingertips faintly, knocking lightly. A soft sound echoed faintly in the empty hall.

He stopped his hand suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips.

The waiting person is here.

He heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the palace gate like thunder, and it stopped for a moment. It was extremely quiet, and the whole army stopped.

Then the door of the hall dragged with a "squeak", and several soldiers opened the door, and they lined up on both sides. He stopped far away in front of the temple gate, raised his eyes and looked over.

With just that one glance, he couldn't help tightening his hands on the chair, as if he heard the sound of his heartbeat, and there was unreasonable tension with each movement.

Chu Mingyun felt as if he hadn't seen him for a long time, his eyes fell on those brows and eyes obsessively, and he couldn't bear to move them away. After a moment of silence, he bent his eyes and smiled at him, "Why are you so expressionless?" , are you still mad at me?"

"Shiyu," he sighed with a smile, "just like before, give me a sincere smile again?"

If I want you to smile again, I will give my life to you willingly.

Su Shiyu didn't make a sound, just looked at him quietly for a long, long time, then retracted his gaze, but turned to the soldier next to him and said, "Keep your majesty well."

He turned and left the temple.

Chu Mingyun was stunned on the throne, his eyes were full of Su Shiyu's back, the winding sky outside the hall was like blood, the soldiers pushed the door of the hall to close it inch by inch, Su Shiyu's back disappeared into his eyes line by line.

The door of the palace was closed tightly, blocking the sunset and his sweetheart, leaving his eyes full of darkness.

It was extremely quiet again, and I could clearly hear a heavy ringing in my heart, and then trembled uncontrollably.

He suddenly rushed down to the throne like crazy, threw off the blocking soldiers, pushed open the palace door and chased out. The cavalry was hidden in a line in the distance, and the figure in the white shirt at the far end had long since disappeared. He wanted to chase, but staggered Half-kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest tightly, frowning and gasping for breath, the wound on his heart suddenly hurts extremely violently, as if being cut open by a sharp knife, and bright red blood gushes out, it hurts so much I can't speak, and I can't laugh anymore.

The setting sun fell on his hair, and the fragrance of roses floated on the flower stand in the palace, and the spring breeze was not old.

There was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, and Chu Mingyun suddenly raised his head.

"World Honor..."

But he saw a large group of black-clothed men and horses running towards them. The leaders immediately sat Qin Zhao and Du Yue. The other party obviously noticed him and stopped in front of him.Qin Zhao took Du Yue off the horse, and quickly helped Chu Mingyun up, "Brother, what's wrong?"

The men in black behind him all got off their horses, "My lord."

Clearly ordered to dismiss, but none of the three thousand shadow guards left.

Chu Mingyun took a deep breath and forcibly settled his mind. Just as he was about to speak, a few birdsongs suddenly sounded in the distant sky, and several black-feathered birds flew from fluttering their wings and landed beside them.

Qin Zhao removed the secret letter on the bird's leg that fell on his shoulder, and was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Chu Mingyun in disbelief, and passed the secret letter over.

Chu Mingyun took it, unfolded it, and changed his expression slightly, "... Li Yanzhen issued an edict to give me the Zen seat?"

"More than that," Qin Zhao unscrambled several secret letters one after another, "Senior Brother's previous reform edict has been re-issued with annotations added."

"All the crimes committed by the beheaded officials in the past have been publicized on Chang'an streets and alleys."

"The tyrants and dignitaries who caused trouble in Beijing received a warning from the imperial court."

"The Su family declared their submission to the new monarch, and other Soviet party officials, including Lu Shi, have also changed their attitudes..."

Qin Zhao couldn't read any more, looked at Chu Mingyun, "Brother..."

Chu Mingyun raised his hand to interrupt him, his brows were tightly frowned, and the meaning of his voice was hard to distinguish, "...he should be leading the Habayashi Army outside the city now."

"Who? The Su family, is that my cousin?" Du Yue finally couldn't help but leaned over, looked at Chu Mingyun and said, "That... I... I'm sorry!"

Chu Mingyun and Qin Zhao looked at him in surprise.

"I'm sorry," Du Yue scratched his head, "I didn't say it all the time. At that time, you threw away my cousin's jade pendant. I was so angry that I went to tell my cousin... I, I didn't know that you two would There is such a thing as today, but my cousin is really not that cruel...really..." He was in a hurry to explain, and simply poured out all Su Bai's drunken words, for fear that Chu Mingyun would not believe it.

Unable to tell what it was like in his heart, Chu Mingyun interrupted Du Yue, and said to Qin Zhao: "You and Du Yue stay here, and give me the horse."

He turned on his horse, pulled the reins, the black horse raised its hooves and neighed. Chu Mingyun glanced at the shadow guards who had mounted with him. Scattered all over the place behind him.
