Those who come can still be chased [rebirth]

In the last years of the former dynasty, the corvee was heavy, causing the people to live in dire straits. Rong Chang, the ancestor of Wei at that time, led the people to revolt in Liaogu. Later, the momentum gradually grew. With the support of his confidants, he established himself as emperor. Diliaogu was the capital of Wei State, and it has been more than a hundred years since Rongyan's father Rongsheng succeeded to the throne.

Afterwards, the capital city fell, Rongxuan stole the throne, and set his capital in Lingzhou City.

But even if people all over the world forget this place, as a descendant of the Wei family, Rong Yan dare not forget it.

At dawn, he and Li Ye set off from Jizhou and hurried all the way, and when they arrived in Liaogu, it was not past time.

As noon approached, it was time for excitement. When Rong Yan and Li Ye led a horse along the long streets and alleys, they found that all the bustling and prosperous things had disappeared, and as far as they could see, only Depression and desolation.

The state of Wei has been in turmoil for many years, and Liaogu, as the capital, bears the brunt of it. Long before the rebels entered the city, many people in the city had suffered so much that they fled the city with their families in search of a way out.After that, the rebels entered the city and plundered and looted wantonly in the city, causing many of the remaining families to be destroyed and displaced.

Afterwards the rebels left, and other forces moved into the city, coming and going, competing in all kinds of ways, but no one really thought about rebuilding this place, recuperating, and so on. Today, wars broke out again in the territory of Wei State. Gucheng has become an empty city that no one cares about.

It is not considered an empty city, after all, there are still many people who have nowhere to go, and finally choose to stay here, fend for themselves.

Rong Yan and Li Ye came along and saw many people like this. They were either farming the fields that had been deserted for a long time, or repairing dilapidated houses.The people in the troubled times have no choice but to save their lives and barely survive - after all, they don't know when the next war will happen.

Rong Yan grew up in the imperial city and was not familiar with the streets and alleys of Liaogu City. Fortunately, there was Li Ye by his side. Relying on his memory, he walked along the dilapidated streets and alleys, and finally came to the The place where the Shouhua Gate of the Imperial City is located.

That day, the rebel army slaughtered all the royal family and nobles and innocent palace people in the imperial city, and robbed all the treasures here, and then left a fire to burn the majestic imperial city that stood for nearly a hundred years.

All that's left is devastation.

"Your Highness."

Li Ye looked at the ruins in front of him and couldn't help turning his head to look at Rong Yan beside him. To him, the imperial city was just a place he had once guarded, but to Rong Yan, it was his home since he was a child. , not to mention that this is the place where his parents are buried.

Rong Yan didn't answer, just stood there, looking at the ruins in front of him.

In a trance, he seemed to see the flames that filled the sky on the day when the capital fell. The palace people screamed in horror and fled to hide. Capture the nobles who used to be aloof.

Empress Wu's bedroom was remote, and the rebels hadn't arrived yet, and the palace people had already dispersed, leaving only Li Ye standing in front of the mother and son.

Empress Wu grabbed Rong Yan's wrist with one hand, and pushed him in front of Li Ye, her eyes were red, and she said hoarsely, "Li Ye, promise me, you must take the Third Highness out of the imperial city!"

"Mother's Queen!" Rong Yan knelt down in front of her, hearing the howls of the rebels getting closer and closer, he was terrified, crying and holding her hand, "Let's go together!"

Empress Wu looked around, seeing the flames that reflected the sky getting closer and closer: "But Yan'er, I am the queen of Wei, your father is trapped here, where can I escape?" She loved and sympathized. Touching Rong Yan's face eagerly, "My mother's life... As a daughter, she insisted on marrying into the palace despite your grandfather's objections, and made him angry; as a wife, she couldn't stop your father from making mistakes; The mother of a country sees the people all over the world suffering from wars but is helpless; probably only when she treats you can she be considered a qualified mother."

Tears rolled out of Empress Wu's eyes and fell straight onto Rong Yan's face. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and sighed softly, "At this point today, I have nothing but hope that you can escape. Get out and live in peace. I finally have something to think about in my life." Speaking of this, she shook her head lightly, "If I knew this, maybe I should be stricter with you than raising you well." So naive."

Rong Yan kept shaking his head, holding Empress Wu's arm tightly: "If the queen mother doesn't leave, then I won't leave either. If everyone has to die here, what's the point of me escaping alone!"

"Silly Yan'er, life is long, and only by living can you have a future." Empress Wu slightly raised the corners of her lips, her eyes, which were very similar to Rong Yan's, slightly curved up, revealing a gentle smile. The next moment, she Suddenly he reached out and pulled out the long sword from Li Ye's waist, and laid it across his neck.

Rong Yan was stunned, only feeling warm liquid falling on his face, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch it lightly, only to see a shocking red.

"Mother!!!"

"Your Highness!" A big hand patted Rong Yan's shoulder vigorously, pulling Rong Yan out of his memories, and he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, but it was also hot and humid.

Before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.

Seeing that he finally responded, Li Ye was slightly relieved, but seeing Rong Yan's expression, he still couldn't help but worry: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Rong Yan wiped away the tears on his face, then took a deep breath: "It doesn't matter."

When he and Li Ye fled here that day, he never thought that it would be so difficult to come back—he and Li Ye in the previous life did not have this opportunity.

He looked up at the blue sky above his head, and murmured: "If people really have spirits after death, can the queen mother see me now?" Having said that, he couldn't help shaking his head, "Or, She has been reincarnated, and she doesn't know where she ended up, I just hope that this time, she won't enter the emperor's house again."

Li Ye was silent for a while, then nodded: "The queen is kind and generous. If she is reincarnated, she will end up in a good family. Don't worry, Your Highness."

After he finished speaking, he took off the rucksack that he had been carrying all the time, took out a clay pot, and a stack of thick paper money, found a fire pocket, lit a few pieces of paper money and threw them into the mud pot: " Today is the Queen's birthday, according to the custom in our hometown, we have to burn some paper money for the deceased, Your Highness, you..."

Rong Yan nodded, squatted down next to him, picked up a few pieces of paper money and threw them into the mud basin, watching them slowly turn to ashes in the fire.The fire light made Li Ye's cheeks slightly red, and Rong Yan looked at his face, and found that there seemed to be a little water in his eyes.

Rong Yan looked away in silence, threw a few more pieces of paper money into the clay pot, and said suddenly, "Is there still no news from your parents?"

Li Ye's parents lived in the capital all the time, and even opened a small shop to make ends meet. Although Li Ye worked as a errand in the palace, he often returned to the shop to help out in his free time.

Later, the capital fell, and Li Ye took Rong Yan all the way to seek a way out from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and since then he lost contact with his parents.I don't know if they left the city with the fleeing people, or... died at the hands of the rebels.

After saving Rong Yan's life, Li Ye has been trying every means to find out the news of his parents, but so far there is still no news.

He closed his eyes, then shook his head: "Maybe he hid somewhere in the deep mountains and wild forests. After all, in this world, people can only live in places where no one is around... My parents have always been timid." Speaking of this, he smiled wryly. "Probably they didn't expect that I could survive."

"Since you're back, later, go home and have a look, maybe you can find some clues." Rong Yan threw the last piece of paper money into the mud basin, then stood up and looked at the person behind him. Ruins, "I just wanted to go in and have a look."

Li Ye watched the paper money in the clay pot burn out, then turned off the fire, got up with Rong Yan, squinted his eyes and looked around: "Although there seem to be not many people in this city, to prevent accidents, I'd like to accompany you." Let's go in together. I will go back later, and there is still time."

"No need." Rong Yan straightened his back, "I want to go in alone."

Li Ye hesitated for a while, seeing Rong Yan's firm face, finally nodded: "After half an hour, my subordinates will wait for you here."

Rong Yan nodded: "Okay."

With a smile on his lips, he watched Li Ye walk away before turning around and walking towards the depths of the ruins stepping on the broken bricks and tiles on the ground.

Rong Yan grew up in the imperial city since he was a child, and every plant and tree here is deeply engraved in his memory.Even though everything was devastated and was no longer the same as it was before, Rong Yan still followed his memory, walked deep into the depths of the imperial city, and found his mother's queen's former bedroom.

The fire burned away all the magnificence, leaving only some remnants of wood and bricks, and all valuables in the palace have long been lost by the palace people who fled, the murderous rebels, and the forces that entered the city wave after wave After searching it all, Rong Yan went around in a circle, but couldn't find even a piece of clothes.

Not to mention the books collected by his mother that day, as well as the picture scrolls drawn by himself.

If he had known it would be this scene, Rong Yan still felt a dull pain in his heart. He was tired of searching, so he found a place at random and sat down, picked up a stone from the ground, and played with it unconsciously in his palm.

"Mother."

Rong Yan held the stone tightly in his hand, and the hard edges and corners hurt his palm, but he seemed to be unconscious, and murmured to the broken stone tiles in front of him: "My child is not filial, after so long, I just came back to see you."

The author has something to say: Liang Ji: The next chapter is coming, really. 【possible? 】
