Twilight War

03

After returning to the ship, Huangxuan's family rested for three days.

News came from Donghuang that there was a guest star in the sky three days ago, and something big might happen.

The Chen Dynasty has always used astrology to calculate good and bad gains and losses, and Pepsi must first observe the astrology before doing it.This time the guest star appears in the world, I am afraid that those surveyors and civil and military officials in Chang'an will argue endlessly again.

Zichen remembers that when he went to Chang'an that year, he strayed into the Butian Palace in Lingtai. The huge linked astrolabe was dotted with gold mud to form the square sky with 28 stars.

And he stood under the stars in the sky, as if the sky was in the sky.

The cloud brocade robe embroidered with a scarlet phoenix bird hangs down on the clear cool stone.

He walked slowly up the astrologer's platform along the stepping ladder, and his brocade clothes passed over the jade-like steps.

When he was about to pick up the golden counting chip, he saw a haggard old man in ragged white clothes sitting in lotus under the star platform.

This time the guest star is alive, I don't know how those surveyors and star officials will explain it.

Zichen looked at the reports in his hand, but from time to time flashed before his eyes Vichypel's armor stained red with blood, the corners of his pale mouth, and finally the way he looked at him.

Everything gnawed at him like bone-eating ants.

He said his account was not settled.

But in this world, how can it be possible to figure out who owes whom and who owes whom.

He remembered that person had kissed his neck and said to him, don't worry about it, little phoenix bird, I will take care of everything...I will help you.He remembered that person's gentle and sad smile, like the haze wind in March, cold and warm.

He thought of all the hugs that person had given him, and the clean and beautiful scent of divine flowers on his body.

The more beautiful he is, the more heartbroken he is.

He is the dream he missed, he bestowed on him all the goodness, and also bestowed on him all the cruelty.

Suddenly, there was a fierce fighting sound outside the door. This is the main ship of the Huangxuan family. Unless the surrounding subordinate ships are breached, it is impossible to attack here. Zichen picked up the cloak beside him and walked to the deck.

The guards of the Huangxuan family were all lined up on the deck, watching the other side of the deck vigilantly.

"Little Lord!"

All the guards dispersed one by one, revealing the attacker who was surrounded in the middle.

It's Will!

He was completely soaked, obviously he came from diving, holding a sharp heavy sword in his hand, looking fiercely at Zichen who was surrounded by guards, his eyes were so fierce that he almost wanted to tear Zichen apart.

"I don't know why the leader came here alone? My Huangxuan family should have never violated the Arthur Empire recently." Zichen looked at Weier and said.

"I thought the Huangxuan family should be loyal people, and I still have a little respect for you. It turns out that you are just young people! Break your trust! Unscrupulous!" Weier's hand holding the epee was almost white, and the veins on his neck It exploded, wishing to tear Zichen to pieces on the spot.

"What did the leader say? Why don't I understand what you mean at all?" Zichen frowned.

"I heard that the Huangxuan family never used poison?" Weier stared closely at Zichen's face.

"Yes, the Huangxuan family only kills with swords on the battlefield, never with poison." Zichen nodded.

"But our Highness was poisoned by your Donghuang's poison, which is the poison your mother put on the arrows! The wounds on His Highness's body can't heal at all, if it wasn't for your Huangxuan family..."

Weier can't wait to kill the young master Huangxuan who pretends to be innocent in front of him right now. If it weren't for this Huangxuan Jin, His Highness would never be injured, let alone poisoned!

The first time I saw this boy, I should have killed him with my own hands!

He still remembers the young man who hid behind His Highness back then, who was as thin as a girl, but now this young man...

"His Highness has been in a coma since he came back, and the wound has been unable to heal for a long time, and it is even gradually getting worse. It is not poisoned or something!"

"Even if this is the case, it may not be said that Huangxuan's family has poisoned it." Zichen gritted his teeth and said.

"Huangxuanjin! You must hand over the antidote today!"

Zichen bit his whitish lips, "This is the place of Huangxuan's family, please leave the leader."

"Huangxuan Jin!!!"

Zichen closed his eyes, "Send off the guests."

"Huangxuanjin, have you forgotten how His Highness treated you back then!?" Weier looked at the back of Young Master Huangxuan wearing a cloak and roared, "If it wasn't for Your Highness, you would have died in the hands of that ring priest Yes! His Highness rescued you back!"

"You have been in the Arthur Empire for so long, has His Highness ever owed you a little bit!"

"Even after knowing that you are the young master of the Huangxuan family, His Highness never let you down!"

"Huang Xuan Jin!"

As soon as Weier was about to charge up, he was stopped by dozens of unsheathed sharp knives, and dozens of Huangxuan dead soldiers in black clothes stood in front of him, not allowing him to advance half a point.

Weier looked at the stern-looking Huangxuan soldiers around him and suddenly smiled, yes, this young man is no longer the one who followed His Highness back then.

He is now the young master of the Huangxuan family in the south of the Yangtze River. If he gives an order, there will be countless dead soldiers guarding him. How could he care about the original friendship.

As soon as Zichen walked out of everyone's sight, he almost lost his strength and fell on the wall, gasping for breath.

He didn't know what he did wrong, he knew he was stupid, but why he couldn't do everything after all.

He remembered what the fortune teller had said to him.

You will have nothing in the end, you will not get what you can't get, and you will lose what you get.

He tightly held the string of Asura bodhi seeds in his hand, the ugly bodhi seeds hurt his palm.

He didn't ask for much at all, he only hoped to be able to like someone safely, and he only hoped to be accepted by his mother.

There are so many happiness in the world, but why can't I give him some.

He couldn't summon a matching sword, and couldn't use a jade talisman, but what did he do wrong?

Wihipel was actually wrong. He didn't have to wait until the day he lost Donghuang and Huangxuan, he would have been abandoned long ago.

They said he was guilty, they said he would be a disaster, they asked him to kneel down in front of the temple to reflect, but what did he do wrong, what did he have to reflect on.

He is holding Asura Bodhi in his hand, and he kneels in front of the smiling Buddha.The Buddha looked at him and smiled, and he also looked at the Buddha and smiled.

You say I'm guilty, why can't you tell me where my sin is?

You tell me!How can I do it right!

From the deck to Si Xuerou's bedroom, Zichen walked for a long time. He knelt down in front of Si Xuerou and earnestly kowtowed three times.

"mother."

"What are you doing here?"

"Please give me the antidote."

Zichen felt that his lips were trembling. This woman was the one he feared and loved the most.He willingly knelt in front of the Buddha for a year and a year to repent of the sins he didn't even know were all for this woman.

He tried his best even though he knew that he was not worthy to be the head of the Huangxuan family, but he still worked hard like masochistic, but it was all for this woman.

What he was most afraid of was the disappointed look in this woman's eyes. For so long, he just wanted this woman to hug him like other mothers.However, he still wanted to disappoint the woman after all.

——You will have nothing in the end, what you can’t get will never get, and what you get will be lost.

Si Xuerou turned her back and didn't look at Zichen who was kneeling in front of her.

"Mother, you will follow this time, just to kill Vehipel." Zichen raised his head and looked at the woman's back.

"Yes, the poison on the arrow is Tianyu grass, the poison of Shu. If you hadn't blocked him, the arrow should have hit his heart. He should have died that day. Let him hold on." Up to now, I am also very uncomfortable, but it’s okay, the wound won’t heal, he will die after all, and it can make him suffer more, and it won’t be cheap for him.”

"The Huangxuan family never uses poison." Zichen looked at the woman, "The Huangxuan family only uses swords to kill."

"Then do you, Young Master Huangxuan, have a sword?" Si Xuerou said coldly.

Zichen felt his body become cold, and he bit his lips almost in pain, "The Huangxuan family has been shamed for a hundred years by having a young master like me, I can't let the Huangxuan family suffer more. Shame. Defending the country with the sword is the family motto of the Huangxuan family. As the young master of the Huangxuan family, I must..."

"Enough!" Si Xuerou slapped the case angrily, "Huangxuanjin! That person is the one who killed your father. Without him, the Huangxuan family would not have come to this point. If your father hadn't died, Jiangnan would not have fallen. !"

"Jiangnan fell because I took the jade talisman, didn't it? If I hadn't taken the jade talisman, father wouldn't have had to fight Vichypel at all." Zichen smiled wryly, "Mother, it's been so long, you The one who really hates is me."

He looked up at Si Xuerou, the corners of his eyes were red, he knew that Si Xuerou had always harbored hatred for him, since he was five years old in the sword test pool, and now, he killed After losing the man a woman loves most, his father, her hatred will only increase.

Si Xuerou suddenly looked at Zichen coldly, his eyes were as cold as a sharp blade of ice that had never been seen before, "What is the relationship between you and Vehipel?"

Zichen still knelt on the ground and said, "He saved me."

"What else?" Si Xuerou stared at Zichen closely.

"I've been by his side for a long time." Zichen felt that all the blood in his body began to coagulate.

"anything else?"

"..."

anything else?I once worshiped that person as my god, I once embraced him with all my strength, I once yearned for all his tenderness and love, I was greedy for all the good things he bestowed on me, and I was willing to give all my I dedicated my soul to him, and I thought that was all.

In the end, everything is wrong.

He had a dream, and when he woke up, it was beyond redemption.

"I would rather never have had your son." Si Xuerou shook her head crying and laughing, "What the hell have I, Si Xuerou, done?"

"..."

Zichen lowered his head, he wanted to say, you are not wrong, all the mistakes are mine, I was born wrong, and everything I do after that is also wrong.

The guilt is mine, and the punishment should be mine too.

Si Xuerou pulled out the Quexie sword beside him, and suddenly placed it on Zichen's neck. The sword light was reflected on Zichen's thin neck like autumn water. Zichen did not dodge or dodge, looking up at the furious Si Xue soft.

Zichen closed his eyes almost in despair, it would be fine if he died, he shouldn't have come.

But if he dies like this, he still can't understand who owes whom and who fails whom.If possible, he would rather not owe each other, see each other in the next life, and have nothing to do with each other.

But the evil sword fell to the ground, the sound was like an ancient chime, the corner of the red skirt swept across, the woman turned and left, only Zichen was still kneeling on the spot.

Zichen knelt for a whole night, and he heard the sound of a huge whistle passing through the vast sea.

He just felt an inexplicable sense of alienation from him in the whole world, as if he had never belonged to this world, and he had always been just a passer-by in this huge world.

He is as insignificant as a mustard seed, humble as dust, and this world has nothing to do with him after all.

"I can give you the antidote." The corner of the red skirt appeared in his eyes.

Zichen raised his head to look at Si Xuerou, his eyes were already filled with red threads.

But Si Xuerou's situation is obviously not very good, she seems to have aged ten years overnight.There was no arrogance and willfulness between her eyebrows and eyes, only deep tiredness.

Zichen suddenly realized that women are getting old too. She has always been as beautiful as the peach blossoms eight hundred miles south of the Yangtze River. She is so breathtakingly beautiful, as beautiful as the falling peach blossoms, but women will eventually grow old, and even the most beautiful peach blossoms will wither. There is only fatigue and decadence.

And now, the woman is old.

"After returning to Jiangnan, you will marry Princess Yingluo," the woman said.

"Yingluo is my sister!"

"She is your cousin. Most of the heads of the Huangxuan family in the past have married princesses. You will be the head of the Huangxuan family in the future, so naturally you should also marry a princess."

Zichen felt that his blood had slowly coagulated.

The heavy rain began to fall slowly outside the window, and Tai No. [-] drove slowly in the gray rain curtain.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Zichen feels that everything is as long and cold as a century.

"it is good."

The white porcelain bottle was thrown in front of Zichen.

Zichen bit his pale lips and kowtowed three times in front of Si Xuerou.
