Chapter 100

The author has something to say:

The carriage was driving in the dark night, and the guards at the gate of the palace saw it from a distance and wanted to stop it. When they got closer, they saw a hand stretched out from the carriage. It was a woman's slender hand, holding a jade pendant in it.The jade pendant was engraved with a Chu character and a phoenix pattern. The guard was startled and knelt down to the ground, daring not to stop him.The people next to him didn't know why, so they also knelt down.When the carriage drove out of the palace city, the guard stood up, let out a sigh of relief, and said to the people around him: "Did you see the jade pendant in that man's hand? It was the jade pendant worn by the emperor when he was the princess of Anhe. It was worn by the princess before the court. At that time, I was on duty and saw today to avoid this difficulty. This jade pendant cannot be stopped, everyone cheers up, maybe His Majesty left the palace just now."

Hua'an withdrew her hand, holding the jade pendant, and remained silent.

Hua Xun, who was sitting next to her, naturally knew what she was thinking. Seeing that it was almost dawn, they left the palace with the jade pendant, and also left Chang'an City with the jade pendant.Ling Lan was driving the car in front, and at this time there were only the two of them in the car, and they escaped from Chang'an, Hua Xun's heart was half relieved, but she was helpless against Hua An's sadness.

Hua'an put the jade pendant properly, hugged her knees and buried her head in silence.

"Are you really not going to Xichuan with me?" Hua Xun asked hesitantly.

"Well. I'm still very worried about Chu... worried about her." Hua An said hoarsely.

She cried hoarsely and had difficulty speaking.

"But you alone, I'm really worried."

Hua An raised her head to look at her, and smiled lightly: "There is nothing to worry about. Now she has begun to recover, and she will be back to normal before noon. She is fine, and I have no worries. I should have gone to Fengdu with you, I I was born there, so I am familiar with it. But if Emperor Yin knows that I have committed such a serious crime, he will definitely send someone to arrest me. Not only will I not be able to help you, but I may even cause you more trouble." She lowered her head slightly. Nodding her head, she said with a wry smile, "She used to say that I like to cause trouble, but today it has been verified."

"Cousin..." Hua Xun sighed, "Then you have to take care of yourself."

The carriage stopped in the outskirts, and the sky was already bright.Hua An jumped out of the carriage and walked eastward without looking back.Hua Xun watched her back gradually drifting away, shook her head: "Let's go."

It's a long way to go to Xichuan, and I don't know when we will meet again.

Hua'an pushed aside the grass, followed the guidance of the aura, and vaguely heard Ye Di's voice.She looked at a shadowy figure in white clothes standing by the river not far away, the river was flowing quietly and the sun was slightly warm.

She stood behind the woman in white, and waited for the woman to finish playing an ancient Shang and Zhou music before she spoke: "You are right, the Chu family, it is my fate."

"Ah."

"This matter is over, why do you still want her to go to Fengdu?"

When the woman turned her head, it was Huadu, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Huadu looked at the clear blue sky, with birds flying by, and said with a slight smile, "The matter between me and her is not over yet, she must go for the trip to Fengdu." Turning around, she smiled at Hua'an, "You and Chu Yan still have a turning point. Huajing You once told me that the destiny cannot be violated, but I feel that today is different from the past, wouldn’t Hua Xun violate the destiny? I will accompany her when she goes to Xichuan, so you don’t have to worry.”

"You said that there is still a turning point between Zhongci and me, but the root of love has been removed by me. Even if there is a turning point, I'm afraid..."

"When the flower mirror destroyed my love root, I never thought that it would grow back. But didn't it grow back in the end? Thousands of years, it is nothing to gods and ghosts, as long as you wait."

"I can wait!"

Huadu nodded: "It's just that you gave up your dream of attaining the Tao and the road to immortality, what can you do?"

"She can give up her life and death for me, what's wrong with becoming a fairy dream?" Hua An raised her hand, the jade pendant in her palm was shining brightly in the sun.

"After three months, you enter the palace and take Chu Yan away." Huadu's figure slowly faded away and disappeared in place, "From then on, the fate between you and me is over, and we don't expect to meet each other..."

The general trend of the world has been that since ancient times, the long-term must be united and the long-term must be divided. This cannot be changed by manpower. Even emperors and famous generals cannot truly maintain their foundation forever.Winter has come, but the Chu family is full of wars and flames, Xiao Qiang is in trouble, and the bones are violent in the wilderness, and no one restrains them.Wu Wang Chuheng, under the banner of Fuxing, is coming aggressively. Regardless of whether the reason for his crusade is true or not, one can guess just by relying on the turmoil that there is no place.Even though the empress was appeased a little after ascension to the throne, there were still a lot of killings. Since people's hearts fluctuated, the subjects under the emperor's feet became more active.No one wants to die, and no one cares who is sitting on the dragon chair. The most important thing is who can make them live and live better.And the fact that the empress married a daughter undoubtedly added a blow to the crumbling eggs. People with insight knew that this empress might not be able to become the second Emperor Wu.

But what was surprising immediately was that the empress was said to have come to her senses under the persuasion of Prime Minister Yi Lin'an. Not only did she drive Hua An out of Chang'an, but she also ordered Hua An to be arrested and brought to justice, and issued a sea and land document.But after the empress's kindness let Hua'an go, Hua'an disappeared without a trace, where can he be caught?Later, because of the war, the empress shelved the matter of finding Hua'an.

"Trash!" Chu Yan ruthlessly swept away the bamboo slips stacked on the desk, and said angrily, "Gu Shangru died in battle! What do I want you to do? The mere rebels can turn the world upside down! You are all standing here in good clothes, You don’t want to serve the country, you just tell me these useless news, waste! You all go to the front line to fight against the enemy! If you don’t take Chu Heng’s dog head, you will come to see him!”

A group of princes and ministers knelt on the ground, no one dared to say a word with their heads down.Above the court hall, there was only the violent sound of Chu Yan gnashing his teeth.

"Why don't you talk? Tell me! Don't you usually talk very well? Why are you dumb now? Huh?" Chu Yan flicked his long sleeves and glared.

The ministers lowered their heads even lower: "Damn the ministers!"

"Hahahaha, damn it?" Chu Yan jumped up at the table, "you are damned! Do you think that if you let Chu Heng enter the city, you can still sit back and relax? How many ministers of the subjugated country will end well? Besides—" Her dark eyes After sweeping past the crowd, he sneered, "Before Chu Heng enters Chang'an, I can confiscate your homes one by one and kill the nine clans!"

"Your Majesty," Yi Zhi straightened up, cupped his hands and bowed, "Now that soldiers are approaching the city, and the Lord has been killed, Your Majesty, please make a decision early and leave Chang'an."

Chu Yan stared at Yi Zhi, held back his anger, pointed at him and said, "If you don't die for the country and the king, you can go yourself! The ancestors taught, 'The king dies for the country'. Although I am unworthy, if I can't do it this time Withdraw from the enemy, I am willing to live and die with Chang'an!"

Yi Zhi was silent for a moment, then clasped his hands again and said loudly: "In this case, I am willing to be the commander in chief and guard this last city for His Majesty!"

"Okay!" Chu Yan was overjoyed, "Add the title of Prime Minister Hushi General and Marquis of Boyang, and mobilize 10 people to defend the city!"

Yi Zhi led the way out.

Chu Yan didn't have much hope for Yi Zhi. Some things cannot be done by humans, such as the general situation, but she is unwilling to admit defeat. No one in the court can hold Chu Heng. This really makes her too Not reconciled.It's not that she can't leave, and she can make a comeback if she returns to King Ning's fiefdom, but she doesn't want to see the country in her hands become someone else's property within a year.But Yi Zhi unexpectedly defeated the Wu army with three strategies and made Chu Heng retreat!

When the news of the retreat came, Chu Yan was really pleasantly surprised.Although he didn't know what the situation was like, Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that there would be a turning point.In order to reward the minister and also to relax himself, Chu Yan held a large banquet in spite of the censor's advice.Yi Zhi never thought that Chu Yan was an extravagant person, but when he came back to return to his command, he saw a picture of a banquet of officials laughing and profligate, and immediately became furious.The understatement on the memorial is naturally too light. Tens of thousands of corpses were killed and injured in these three measures. The crisis has not yet been resolved, and Chu Yan actually has the intention to squander here.

But soon, Yi Zhi realized that Chu Yan was not just celebrating her achievements by chance one day, her state of mind had quietly changed, she showed the authority of the emperor everywhere, and she could not listen to harsh advice at all.When Chu Yan joked with him in a drunken way: "Qing is a great talent, but why should he follow Prince Ning and his son first, and then follow me!"

It is easy to change color suddenly.This is a heartbreaking statement. Since ancient times, a loyal minister did not serve two masters. He first followed the old King Ning, then followed the son of King Ning, and finally followed Chu Yan. Now that Chu Yan said this, it was tantamount to reminding him that he was betraying his master. man of.

"Your Majesty!" Yi Zhi cupped his hands with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty is unwell, please leave first!"

Chu Yan didn't care, and nodded in agreement.After Yi Zhi left the palace, he deeply felt that he would never meet a wise master in his life. He once thought that Chu Yan would be, but he didn't expect that Chu Yan thought of him that way in his heart.He made a contribution and made Chu Heng retreat, but Chu Yan laughed at him for being unfaithful and unrighteous, and may even have been dissatisfied with him all the time.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhi returned home immediately.In the middle of the night, the Prime Minister's Mansion pulled out an unremarkable carriage and tricked the city gate into opening.

Chu Yan, who was in a state of intoxication, heard that Yi Zhi had betrayed him and fled, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.Although Chu Heng said to retreat, the danger is still there, and it is easy to escape. Who can defend the city?Chu Yan was furious, hammered the bed and said: "Kill! Yi Zhi must be killed! Send someone to chase after him!"

Half of the alcohol dissipated, Chu Yan kept pacing the room, looking up at the window, it was already five o'clock.After thinking about it, Chu Yan gritted his teeth and called his confidant: "If you send more people, I will definitely get the head easily!"

As soon as the words fell, a fast horse galloped in. Before the soldiers covered in blood could open their mouths, they heard the sound of killing at the city gate. Chu Yan looked back and saw that the city was full of beacon fire. I'm afraid...

Chu Yan's face turned pale, he fell to the ground, and said to himself, "The general situation is gone! The general situation is gone..."

"Your Majesty! Chu Heng's traitor has entered the city!" the soldier kowtowed.

Chu Yan has no intention of finding out who let Chu Heng in, and who set up a trick for Chu Heng to pretend to retreat.She could only put all the blame on the missing Yi Zhi, gritted her teeth and said, "Raise the soldiers and horses, and go get my armor!"

"Report—Your Majesty, King Wu has entered Chang'an City and is coming to the palace!"

Chu Yan's face was pale, and the armor he just got in his hand became ridiculous.She smiled miserably and waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay. Change clothes for me, I want to wear a crown and go to the palace gate."

She closed her eyes to cover up the despair and panic in her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was determined to die.

There was a dull pain in her heart for a moment, as if... something was missing, and she couldn't let it go.
