I have a book to play

Lying on the bed, Sun Peng couldn't help recalling the past when he and Xie Chen met.

If you really want to go back, it probably starts when he was less than four years old.However, the four-year-old child is too young after all, and he can't remember many things clearly.

It wasn't until later that Xie Chen became a monk in Jingming Temple, and he often went to this ancient temple in the mountains with the old man, and then he became acquainted with the former prince who was "sacrificed".

However, what really made them acquainted was the fourth year of Baoying, when the nine clans of the Sun family were wiped out, he was rescued by Xie Chen, and hid in Jingming Temple to hide his power and bide his time.

After that, he gradually developed feelings for Xie Chen, but he still cut off everything with his own hands after five years in Baoying...

*****

In the winter month of the fifth year of Baoying, the capital was covered with snow.Amidst the howling wind and snow, the clapper of the third watch finally rang.

In the entire capital, except for the Xingchun Street where people have fun, there may be no voices heard anywhere.But at this moment, screams came from the famous Shuangyanju on Xingchun Street, and immediately after that, countless soldiers in black clothes who were hiding around rushed out.

As soon as these people met each other, they suddenly separated and ran towards various places in the city. There were so many people that there was an overwhelming momentum.

The watchman who had just finished the watch and was rubbing his neck and rubbing his hands to go home, heard the noise and before he had time to hide to the side, he saw a soldier riding a horse galloping from a distance under the moonlit night.

"Did you see a man in crescent white clothes running over?" A man who looked like a leader among the soldiers shouted from a distance, "Speak quickly, if you are dishonest, I will classify you as an accomplice and take you back to torture!"

The watchman shivered in fright. Under the darkness, he couldn't see the frightened expression on his face. Hearing the hurried voice, he hurriedly pointed to the alley on one side and said, "There! It seems...it seems to be running there. Already!"

That direction is the south gate of the capital. Outside the gate, there is a mountain and forest official road. Once that person runs out of the city, it is like a fish entering water and a tiger returning to the mountain. I am afraid it will be difficult to find.

Yang Wei, the commander of the Eastern Palace's personal guards, glared, turned his head and said: "Chasing! No matter what, we must capture that kid back!" After saying that, he suddenly said, "If he doesn't follow, kill him."

The watchman was startled, and the gong and clapper in his hand hit the ground with a "boom".Yang Wei sat on the horseback and looked down at him when he heard the sound.

"What are you afraid of?"

The watchman trembled, bowed his head and did not dare to respond.

Yang Wei's thick voice was full of sarcasm.

"It's hard to save a life, why doesn't that kid know the word 'fear'."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to dislike the stench on the watchman's body, glanced at him coldly, and scolded: "Get out!"

It wasn't until the group of black-clothed soldiers walked away that the watchman bent down to pick up the gong and clapper on the ground, stooped and walked into the alley next to him.The watchman wiped his face. Under the moonlight, it was a handsome young man's face.

Sun Peng took off his watchman's clothes, revealing the crescent-white dress underneath, and seeing that he had lured him to the south, he gritted his teeth and ran west.However, before he had time to run far, the wind and snow were blowing, and the horseshoes were already rattling.

That sound, like a reminder, approached step by step under the vast snowy night and moonlit sky.Every step is on the snow, and also on the tears and blood of more than a hundred members of the Sun family.

Sun Peng didn't dare to turn his head, so he could only run towards the city gate.

But from a distance, the west city gate is closed tightly, and there are guards patrolling back and forth above it.

Sun Peng had almost nowhere to escape, he even thought he was going to die in the city.

But desperately, he also wanted to take a last look at that man.

It's just that he was afraid that for the rest of his life, he would hide his unspeakable thoughts and bring them all the way to the underworld, where he would never let that smoky man know about it.

The city gate is getting closer and closer, and the sound of horseshoes behind him is gradually approaching, but it is only three o'clock now, and there is still a long way to go before the city gate opens...

Under the violent storm, Sun Peng stopped in his tracks, glanced to both sides from the corner of his eyes, looking for a way to escape.

One of his ears was injured when the Sun family had an accident in the fourth year of Baoying, and he has not recovered his hearing until today.

Even so, standing at this intersection, he still heard the sound of approaching horseshoes from all directions.

"Shichiro?"

Just when Sun Peng was almost desperate, the guards on duty at the city gate seemed to see his face clearly through the moonlight, and someone immediately recognized his identity.

Sun Peng subconsciously took a step back.

The guards hurried down from the city wall, Sun Peng turned to run, but suddenly there was a "squeak" sound from the city gate.

"Qichiro, hurry up now!"

Sun Peng turned around and saw in astonishment that with the cooperation of several guards, the heavy city gate was opened with difficulty.The howling wind passed through the gap opened by the city gate and poured in like a beast.

Behind him, the chasing armored soldier in black had already appeared in the snowstorm.

"Bold! Who dares to open the city gate and release the fugitive privately! Don't let him out!"

The sound of shouting angrily passed through the wind and snow, and the guards kept the city gate open without saying a word.

The city gate was opened a crack, just allowing one person to pass through.

The guard who was the first to recognize Sun Peng took off his helmet, and put it on the ground together with his long-lasting spear.

"Qilang, let's go. Mr. Sun helped wash away my father's grievances, this time I will help you!"

"We help you too!"

Several guards on the side spoke in unison.

"Qilang, hurry up, if you are alive, there are still people in the Sun family, if you die too, the Sun family will be completely wiped out!"

Sun Peng hesitated.In fact, he didn't know the dark-skinned guards in front of him. He knew too well what would happen to the guards who helped him after he left.

"Qilang, let's go! Our lives were all retrieved with the help of Mr. Sun. We will repay your kindness with our lives, and we are not afraid of death!"

Although Sun Peng was still hesitating, he saw the soldier who appeared behind him running closer and closer. The guards pulled and pushed each other, but finally said that he pushed out of the city gate.

The city gate is very heavy, and it is only opened once a day, and it is closed at dusk until it opens again the next day.

When the city gate was slowly closed, Sun Peng turned his head and saw the angry faces of the approaching soldiers through the smaller and smaller cracks.

He gritted his teeth and turned his head, facing the wind and snow, and ran wildly into the distance.

He knew that those guards might not survive tonight.

He even knew that Yang Wei would definitely catch them and question why they dared to release the escaped criminals.

In the past, the son of the Sun family, his father's generation served in the court, and his sister was the princess of the East Palace. Now the nine clans of the Sun family have been wiped out, and his sister died tragically. He has become the remnant of the Sun family.What's more, he disguised himself as a woman to assassinate the crown prince tonight, which was even worse...

Probably, all the people related to him will be left alive tonight.

In the western suburbs of the capital, wind and snow can cover up footprints on the ground, but it may not necessarily wash away the smell.A soldier released a hunting dog, but lost his target in the snowstorm.

The sound of dog barking is getting closer and further away, further away and closer.Sun Peng hid in a deserted yizhuang at the foot of the mountain.The corpse that had been parked for an unknown amount of time exuded a strong rancid smell, but it just happened to cover up the bloody smell on his body.

He leaned against a cobweb-covered curtain, endured the biting chill, and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the long knife wound on his waist.

Sun Peng lowered his head, saw the appearance of the wound clearly through the moonlight, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

The wound was accidentally left during the assassination.If it wasn't for the strong smell of the watchman's clothes, Yang Wei would have noticed something was wrong.

Fortunately, it was cold, and the blood from the wound was frozen to a halt during such a fierce escape. Otherwise, even if the footprints along the way could be covered, if the blood kept dripping.I'm afraid I can't hide his whereabouts.

He leaned back, his breath was filled with the smell of corpses, but his heart was always filled with satisfaction.

The dress on him belongs to sister.It was my sister's favorite when she was alive, but it was a pity that it smelled of that beast's blood.

Just now, he seriously injured Xie Zhang.

That former brother-in-law, Da Chu's future emperor, East Palace Prince Xie Zhang.

Even if he didn't die, he would probably be crippled.

happy!

So happy!

Sun Peng wanted to laugh out loud, but the sight of hundreds of members of the Sun family dying tragically flashed through his mind, he couldn't laugh, and wanted to roar even more.

The Sun family has done good deeds for more than a hundred years, but in the end it was because of his kindness that the whole family died in hell.

How could he bear this breath, how could he just live in ignorance, hiding in the side and watching Xie Zhang's arrogance.

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang!"

Outside the yizhuang, there was a sudden frantic barking of dogs.This is the sound of the hound finding the target and asking for credit and warning from the owner.

"Found it! That kid is hiding inside!"

Immediately after the soldier's voice came to mind, Sun Peng's heart suddenly rose, and without caring about anything else, he immediately got up from the ground, stepped on a coffin, and went out through a window at the back.

Heavy snow hits the face, and the wound that has stopped bleeding is scratched and opened on the window lattice again.

Blood came out, soaked through the undershirt, and stained a red patch on the side of the waist.

Sun Peng gritted his teeth and ran up the mountain, and soon there was a dog barking behind him.

However, with the strength of one person, how can he fight against more than a hundred soldiers in black clothes.

In the end, he fell on the snow ground with injuries all over his body, and blood dripped continuously from his waist, abdomen, back of his head, and legs.

Dongyue's chill seemed to slow down the blood flow, and even breathing became silent.

Yang Wei sat on the horseback, condescendingly looking down at the dying young man on the ground, with compassion in his eyes.

As soon as he spoke, he exhaled a big cloud of white air: "Since you can save your life back then, why bother to be stupid again, isn't it good to live?"

Sun Peng obviously couldn't give him the answer he wanted, Yang Wei sighed, covering his eyes with white air:

"I remember there was a mass grave near the western suburbs?"

"There is one, not far from here."

The voice of the soldier who answered was somewhat familiar, and Sun Peng tried hard to take a look in the direction of the sound, but the blood on his forehead had already covered one of his eyes with the snow.The half-deaf ear cannot hear clearly.

"Throw him in a mass grave."

"Commander, don't you take this kid back to vent your anger to the prince?"

"Those who are about to die, don't let the prince get this bad luck."

"Yes!"

When Sun Peng was lifted, his heartbeat was already very slow.

The soldiers around him chattered endlessly, making him understand some sporadic words.

They're going to throw him in a mass grave.

In the mass graves in the western suburbs, I heard that the corpses of eunuchs and court ladies who committed crimes are often thrown away.

he is dying...

There were soft or heavy voices in his ears, and Sun Peng's thoughts drifted away bit by bit with his heartbeat.

Even when he was thrown heavily into the mass grave and his body fell onto those sharp stones, the pain that should have appeared seemed to no longer exist.

The soldiers quickly went back to report.

Sun Peng was lying sideways on the ground like that, with icy snow and hard stones under his body, and large flakes of snowflakes fell from the sky like gray-white butterflies.

The coldness of the snow was mixed with an unpleasant stench, and there was the sound of grass being pulled away not far away, and something was gradually approaching with a deep breath.

Maybe it was a wild dog, or something else, but Sun Peng couldn't see clearly. He could only vaguely feel that his heartbeat was slowing down little by little.

Under the moonlit night, the wind and snow were blowing heavily, and the deserted mass graves seemed especially far away.I don't know who recited the Buddhist scriptures, but the voice was low and fluttering with the wind, walking along with the snow falling from the sky, from far to near.

Sun Peng's eyes, which had been unable to see clearly, seemed to recover their vision at this time.As far as the eye could see, a monk in plain white monk's robe was standing against the wind and snow, holding a broken lamp that was swayed by the wind in his hand, step by step, stepping on the snow, walking towards this side.

The snow-white monk's robe was untouched by dust, even at such a long distance, Sun Peng felt that he could smell the familiar faint fragrance of Buddha in the wind and snow.

He smiled wryly.The strong wind suddenly blew up, and the broken lamp finally seemed to be unable to hold on, and went out...

*****

Sun Peng slept all night.

In the first half of the night, he didn't sleep well, and his dreams were messy. For a while, when the Sun family had just had an accident, he was in a mess and was rescued by Xie Chen back to Jingming Temple. It was he who recuperated in the temple for a year, got along with Xie Chen day and night, and fell in love with him, but he had to swear in front of the Buddha that he would not expect any extravagant feelings except revenge in his life.

In the middle of the night, he finally fell asleep in a daze, unaware that someone was coming and going outside the door.

When he woke up, Sun Peng lifted the quilt on his body, and the fingers of his left hand were still wrapped, and when he moved a little, he felt a little pain.He had no choice but to raise his right hand, bury his fingers in his hair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

I slept all night sweaty, sweaty, and a little uncomfortable.

Just as Sun Peng was about to get out of bed, someone knocked lightly on the door twice, and the voice of wolfberry came from outside: "Qilang? Is Qilang awake?"

"woke up."

"Qilang, go out and have a look. The adults are all back, and their faces are not very good. It seems that something happened in the palace!"
