Am I a scumbag?

Moqian is the capital of Yue Lu King.

Hu Xindai was burnt to the point that not a single one was left.

Tang Xiujing led the crowd to rush for three days before finally arriving, but there was only a mess of scorched marks left on the Sacred Heart Lake.Tang Xiujing was stunned for a while, and couldn't help crying.

He planted it carefully for five full years.It took so long to grow it, the emperor needs it...

He didn't protect them.

But he has kept many people on guard day and night, and he has been fine for so many years, why is he gone all of a sudden? !

Yan Yuliang: "Xiu Jing, don't cry yet."

He looked calm, but his heart was much more empty than Tang Xiujing.

Lan Wang dawdled his hands, and even his fingertips were cold.But Yan Zhao is Yan Zhao, he forced himself to ask: "How did you find out? How to remedy it, find a way quickly."

The ministers on the Yuelu side have been investigating in detail since the day of the accident, arresting people in various ways, and sending envoys to the neighboring country Jiaonan to hold them accountable.

"Jiaonan refuses to admit it, and instead says that we fabricated it to frame him."

"Your Majesty, look! These are seized knives, they are clearly the scimitars from Jiaonan!"

The scimitar with green gemstones is engraved with simple patterns and exotic characters.Yan Yuliang looked at the knife, and suddenly his mind buzzed slightly.He frowned and took the knife, turning it over and over for a closer look.

"No."

"This is not Jiaonan's knife, this is... Sanmiao's."

But there are no three Miao countries in the world.

When Yan Yuliang was the second prince, there used to be an ancient and mysterious Sanmiao Kingdom in southern Xinjiang who was good at using both poison and Gu.This country is very small, and there are white, black, and red tribes, young and old, living in the deep forest near the junction of Yuelu and Jiaonan without any competition from the world.

But later, when the third prince and the crown prince were fighting for the throne, they mistakenly believed a rumor.

The rumor said that the three Miao people possessed a secret treasure handed down from generation to generation that could "determine the destiny" and "change the destiny of the country".

At that time, Zhuang Xinhuo vigorously supported the third prince, and after consulting various ancient books with Concubine Yu Yuan, he felt that it was more credible.So he borrowed an excuse and led the army to go south, and went to the southern border to burn and kill the three Miao countries and turned them upside down.

The secret treasure was not found, but the Three Miao Kingdoms were destroyed, and countless old and young women and children died tragically.

The second prince had opposed, persuaded and obstructed that matter back then, but no one listened to him.

Zhuang Xinhuo ignored him, but the third prince sneered, saying, second brother, you are really a kind woman, you will never appear in the history books as a foreigner, and who cares if you are extinct. Which is more important for my Great Xia's century-old foundation?

Today, more than ten years have passed since the Sanmiao Kingdom was destroyed.

There must have been survivors who escaped in those days.They may still live in the Jiaonan area of ​​Vietnam, and they still deeply hate the culprit who led the army to invade and destroy their country and family.

But Zhuang Xinhuo was long gone.

The only person they can hate now is the only young master of the Zhuang clan...

That's why you want to burn that pool of Hu Xindai?

……

Outside, it was raining, thundering and lightning.

After a group of people came to Yuelu, the heavy rain started to rain continuously and gloomyly.

The roads are muddy, the rivers are soaring, and it is difficult to pass everywhere. Such weather makes it more difficult to track down the remnants of the Sanmiao soldiers. Tang Xiujing waits for the news every day, while rummaging through the ancient books of Yuelu.

Worse than the complete burning of Huxindai, even the seedlings were completely destroyed.

Huxindai is not common in Yuelu, and the batch planted before is a flower that Tang Xiujing discovered in the wild by chance five years ago.

Yan Yuliang was also in a mess for several days.

He tried to pull himself together.

Try to actively assist Tang Xiujing in searching ancient books and finding disabled soldiers, and wait for King Lan to continue to take care of him, try to pamper him, make him happy, and mess with him in bed.

The heart has always been dusty.

He didn't understand that he used to be able to stand up and think of ways to deal with problems positively, but this time he didn't know why he couldn't stand up.

Ever since seeing that sword, Yan Yuliang has been restless.

He always felt faintly that there was some memory about "Three Miao" that he didn't remember.The cloud weighed heavily on my heart, just like the dark rain these days, a particularly bad feeling.

It was almost the middle of the month, King Lan was already used to suffering every month, so he was worried about his family Azhao.

Ah Zhao is rarely so preoccupied.

It was raining all day long, and it was cold and damp everywhere, and a charcoal fire had to be lit in the house.King Lan's hands were cold, and he hugged the emperor after roasting by the fire: "Azhao, don't worry, it's okay. At worst, let Tang Xiujing replant, it will only be three or five years."

Three to five years.

But King Lan's health is getting worse and worse, where can he last for another three to five years?

Yan Yuliang only felt that the rumbling was harsh, and he couldn't hear such words now - he already owed him so much, how could he just watch him suffer for another three to five years?

He couldn't take it.

Without Hu Xindai, every moment of waiting for the news is torture, and the blunt knife can only endure it.He looked guiltily at the man beside him who was still staring at him with clear and gentle eyes, and couldn't figure out why he was so stupid.

What's wrong with Emperor Jinyu, he can't let go of anything else if he puts Jiangshan in his heart.Treating him was never good, it only made him suffer, make him sad and make him despair.

How can it be worthwhile for him to pay so much for him and endure so much without complaint or regret?

"Azhao, I'm really not in a hurry," Lan Wang said in a soft voice, "I haven't found the little blind Mu Tiandong..."

"..."

"You were back then."

He asked him, "Why were you so stupid back then?"

The air was quiet for a moment, only the wind and rain outside the window were dark.Lan Wang was silent for a long time, a little stiff: "Azhao, you...you even remember that...?"

"No wonder, no wonder Ah Zhao treats me like this these days..."

Zhuang Qingqu didn't finish speaking.

Because that moment of sadness on Yan Yuliang's face was something he had never seen before.He knew immediately that he had said the wrong thing.

"No." He hurriedly said, "Azhao, I, I have no other intentions."

"There's really no other meaning, no. Ah Zhao treats me well, I'm happier than anything else."

But what he has always been, is that he can't express his words in front of him, and he is clumsy with his tongue.

"Azhao, what happened in the past is already in the past."

"It was me who was reckless when I was young, impulsive, stubborn and extreme. I drank the medicine in a fit of anger and became what I am today. I don't blame Ah Zhao..."

"Azhao is the son of heaven. I have many difficulties and many things I can't help myself. It's because I'm stupid that I can't understand Azhao..."

Difficulties.

Difficulties, but the emperor who is too cold at the top will not have difficulties.Why should a person who loves him purely and sincerely bear the torture and bitter fruit for him.

Yan Yuliang had a headache and shook his body.

"Azhao!"

"Azhao, Zhaozhao..." Lan Wang hugged him, he had never called him that before.

It's just that I felt distressed and flustered for a while and didn't know what to say, so I called him that inexplicably.

"Azhao, Zhaozhao, it's all over, it's okay, don't think about it anymore, okay?"

"There will be a way, don't be afraid."

He hugged him tightly, feeling that his whole body was cold, and tried to share the warmth with him: "Azhao, you taught me before, and taught me many times. Don't look back when you walk, look forward, and keep walking happily. "

"Azhao has done so well before, and the results of Azhao's actions have always been good."

"It'll be all right, it'll be all right. Don't be afraid."

……

The rain continued, and the commander of Wuyiwei made Su Xu stand outside the door.

He listened to his master and the emperor whispering softly in the room.Closing his eyes, his expression was complicated and dignified.

Ever since he saw the three miao scimitars, he also remembered something.But those things made him confused, not knowing what to do.

He shouldn't have come to Southern Border.

Originally, King Lan didn't want him to come this time. Su Xu's wife, the princess, is about to give birth in the spring of next year, so King Lan asked him to stay at home with his wife.But his wife beeped and urged him to come to Yuelu with King Lan.

What she meant was that there were a large number of servants serving the princess' mansion.He knew that their masters and servants loved each other deeply, and the Su family had been the most loyal servants of the Zhuang family for generations.It is also a big deal for King Lan to treat his illness, and he will be able to catch up with the birth of the child after going back. She doesn't want him to have any regrets.

Inside the house, King Lan was tired and wanted to sleep.

The emperor whispered something to him, coaxed him to sleep, tucked the quilt for him, and then came out.Emperor Jin Yu's expression was calm, but his eyes were reddish and he didn't look at the road, and almost bumped into Su Xu.Su Xu reached out to support him.

Yan Yuliang smiled bitterly: "Commander Su urged me several times along the way, telling me to hurry up and not just be greedy to play with King Lan, I should listen to you."

"If I had arrived in Yuelu a few days earlier, maybe I could have saved Hu Xindai before they burned Hu Xindai..."

Su Xu continued without saying anything.

Yan Yuliang's heart felt astringent, so he stopped talking.

That's the end of the matter, it's useless to say that.It's better to do something practical.He took the umbrella and went outside.

"I, let's go to the lake to have a look..."

These days, the King of Yue Lu sent people to search for Daihua seedlings in the middle of the lake in the rain, but failed.It is said in ancient books that this flower can only be met but not sought, and it is also said that "sincerity leads to spirit", but no one knows what is sincerity.

He stepped out of the door, and there was another burst of lightning and thunder outside, and bursts of thunder and thunder.Su Xu stopped him.

He shook his head, wanting to say it's all right, I'll come back as soon as I go.

But suddenly, Su Xu knelt down for him.

Under the white light, the face of the arrogant Zhuang family servant in front of him was full of deep sadness, complexity and helplessness.He said something, half of his voice was lost in the rumble of thunder, Yan Yuliang's mind went blank.

……

In the second year of Jinyu, the Zhuang family was destroyed.

Su Xu was seriously injured and carried the corpse of old general Zhuang Xinhuo home with his own strength.After recuperating from my injuries, I woke up in a coma for more than two months, and I can't remember many details at that time.

But for years, he remained skeptical.

Back then, the location of the Zhuang family's camp was very hidden, if there was no very familiar person to lead the way, it is impossible to be easily found by the Beimo army.When Su Xu was attacked and fell into a pool of blood back then, he even vaguely heard someone's voice familiar from the North Desert soldiers, and saw a familiar thing...

For so many years, he still couldn't remember what he saw.

Until I saw the machete of Sanmiao a few days ago.Suddenly, like five thunderbolts, the memory emerged clearly.

The destruction of the country by the three seedlings is already a matter of the Xuanming Dynasty.With the extinction of the clan, the Sanmiao knives became extremely rare, but at that time, there was a trusted servant named Xu Ci beside the emperor, but he always had a machete like this hanging on his body.

Later, Xuci died of illness without a sound.

Su Xu never had the chance to see this person again, so naturally it was difficult to recall his voice and his scimitar.until today.

Yan Yuliang: "Introduction...?"

There were several thunder and lightning outside the window.

A fragment of memory flashed, Yan Yuliang held on to the door frame beside him.

After he lost his memory, he had forgotten many people, and it was only when Su Xu mentioned this person that he finally remembered that a long time ago, there used to be such a Sanmiao guard by his side.

The guard did not die of illness in the end, but committed suicide.

Yan Yuliang couldn't remember why he committed suicide, but he remembered how he recruited this person under his command.At that time he was still the second prince, sixteen or seventeen years old, but he already had the heart to overthrow Zhuang and Tantai one day.

Since he has this intention, he must secretly collect evidence of the conspiracy of the two clans.

But it's not easy to put eyeliner under the noses of the two powerful ministers. Fortunately, Xun Chang is smart and helped him a lot.

The little fox did not choose to arrange for the newcomer to go to the official's mansion, but directly arranged a circle among the two existing servants and guards.This guard's preface is the ironclad "details are not clean" in the Zhuang Mansion that Xun Chang found out.

The preface is from Sanmiao.

Zhuang Xinhuo slaughtered the three seedlings back then, almost exterminating the whole family, how could the survivors of the three seedlings not hate poisoning him.A surviving member of the San Miao ethnic group actually sneaked into the Zhuang Mansion as a bodyguard. Naturally, he was secretly planning to wait for an opportunity to retaliate. Once his identity was exposed, he would definitely die immediately without a burial.

After Xun Chang finished the investigation, he threatened the preface and asked him to act as the second prince's eyeliner and be used by the second prince.

The preface did not resist.

Firstly, his identity cannot be exposed, and secondly, both sides are people who are bent on bringing down the Zhuang family, so they coincidentally.

Therefore, the preface became one of the second prince's eyes in the Zhuang Mansion.The second prince also helped him make suggestions, which made him stand out from the crowd and caught Zhuang Xinhuo's eyes.

Zhuang Xinhuo never knew that the preface belonged to the second prince.Later, when the second prince succeeded to the throne, Zhuang Xinhuo deliberately tried to make the preface into the emperor's bodyguard, making him stare at the emperor everywhere.

Zhuang Xinhuo trusted the preface so much, but Su Xu didn't like him.

He always suspected that the preface had actually been united with the emperor, but there was no evidence.With such suspicion, it will soon be the second year of Jinyu.

He heard the voice of the preface in the Beimo army that slaughtered the Zhuang family.

If it is him, who gave it the order?

Who else could instigate it?

……

Su Xu followed the emperor all the way.

Emperor Jin Yu's fingers holding the umbrella were shaking all the time, the wind and rain were too strong, and his umbrella was blown to pieces.

He simply dropped the umbrella.

The road was muddy, and the face was mottled by the rain.Sacred Heart Lake is located on the edge of a deep forest cliff not far from Moqian City. The lake is waist-deep. The heavy rain for days made Yuelu's temperature plummet like ice and snow, but the emperor still gritted his teeth.

He groped in the lake.For pieces of residual lotus and dead branches and rotten flowers, he soon shivered from the cold, but he still bent over to look for them bit by bit.

Su Xu looked at him.

I saw him looking for it for a long time.

Seeing him covering his head, hunched over, he couldn't help crying secretly.

If it was a year or half a year ago, Su Xu would never forgive him.He must have reported this matter to King Lan immediately.He will cry and say that the evidence has finally been caught, and we will kill the dog emperor to avenge the old master.

But now.

Now, the young master and the emperor are so good.He saw and heard with his own eyes that they were very sweet together.He believed that their young master had finally come to an end.

And for the first time in his life, he was no longer just a servant of the Zhuang family.

He also has a loving wife and a child who is about to be born, and he also has selfishness.

Whether it is this matter, in fact, the young master may never know...

As long as the dog emperor can promise him to cherish the young master for the rest of his life, believe that he treats him well, and never plot or deceive him behind his back.He felt that he could grit his teeth and pretend that he hadn't thought of anything.

He stepped forward and called out to the emperor softly.Jinkou Yuyan can't lie, he wants Emperor Jinyu to give him a guarantee.

As long as he promises to treat the young master well, as long as he promises...

But before he could speak, he saw a group of people out of the corner of his eye.The following things happened so quickly that I was overwhelmed.

Zhuang Qingqu was awakened by thunder.

His body was aching, and his head was groggy. He was familiar with the omen of this kind of mid-month sickness. Normally, he should lie down obediently, but for some reason, he was very disturbed.

Fu Ling was not there, Su Xu was not there, and Yan Yuliang was not there either.

There was only the noisy sound of rain, he walked out the door with a little sloppy gait, and there was a sound downstairs.

He saw Su Xu kneeling on the ground and heard him say something to the emperor.About Beijiang, about Zhuang's...

Zhuang Qingqu was stunned, feeling overwhelmed for a while.

When he woke up, the two had gone out and disappeared.The heavy rain over the land made it muddy everywhere, Zhuang Qingqu led the horse, but in this weather even the horses were so muddy that they couldn't walk fast.

The rain hit his body sticky and irritable, Zhuang Qingqu felt uncomfortable but his mind was clear. When he went to the lake, he suddenly remembered something——

They all overlooked one thing.

King Yuelu actually chased after the base camp of the remnants of the Sanmiao soldiers these days, but unfortunately the camp was already empty. Tang Xiujing thought they had fled to Jiaonan, and was contacting Jiaonan to help continue the chase.

However, given the raging hatred of the Zhuang family from the Sanmiao people, how could they just burn Hu Xindai and run away?What kind of revenge is this?

If Hu Xindai was burned, he might not die.It may not be able to last three to five years.

So when Zhuang Qingqu left the city, he had already called Tang Xiujing who was on patrol, and even called the Yuelu garrison.But it was still a step too late.

In the Sacred Heart Lake under heavy rain, the two were being besieged and fighting with a group of men in black.Su Xu is highly skilled in martial arts, and tried his best to protect the emperor while fighting, but this time the emperor ignored his protection, instead, he rushed forward like a runaway wild dog and killed more fiercely than anyone else.

The rain blinded his eyes.

Yan Yuliang had a few fine wounds on his body, but he didn't feel any pain at all.His martial arts is not good in the accompanying reading, but it is not bad in the outside world, and a crazy hack is enough to drink a pot.

He is the Son of Heaven, maybe he shouldn't rush to the front, but what else can he do?I don't know, for the first time in my life, I can't see the future.

This group of people burned Hu Xindai, what will King Lan do?King Lan had always said that it would not be him about the Zhuang family, but now it has been proved that it is him, what should he do.

With the cold sword's edge on his chest, Yan Yuliang can barely avoid it.

The clothes were scratched, and a small semi-finished sachet fell into the mud.

He looked at it blankly, it was a very ugly sachet.

It was a long time ago when he learned how to embroider with Yinger, and he completely forgot about half of the embroidering.The word "Lan" was embroidered on the top of the sachet, and the bottom half of the word "Cong" was intentionally missing.

It was because he used to be clever and hid it on his body, thinking that one day he would make Lan Wang angry again, so he twisted it and twisted the sachet out.

He embroidered it himself.Lan Wang must be very moved when he saw it, so he won't be angry with him anymore.

no more...

There was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and Su Xu pulled him.Yan Yuliang came back to his senses and saw Zhuang Qingqu and Tang Xiujing's team in the heavy rain.

He thought about going over, but unexpectedly the remnant soldiers moved before them.

The target of the remnant soldiers was only Zhuang Qingqu, and he didn't care how many Yuelu defenders were behind him.The country has been broken for many years, and the remnant soldiers of the three seedlings did not hesitate to die.

"Qing Qu—!"

Hissing, confusion.Muddy, fighting.Yan Yuliang finally arrived at King Lan's side, met those clear eyes, and was speechless for a moment.King Lan knew everything.

Yan Yuliang is like a drowning person, guilty and heartbroken, unable to speak.

He turned around to fend off the enemy, and stood side by side with King Lan.After fighting for a while, King Lan was dazzled by his illness and was on the verge of falling. When he was about to fall off his horse, Yan Yuliang protected him, and picked up the sword that was attacking with a long spear.

Before he could be happy in the future, his hand was suddenly pinched.The hand only squeezed his wrist firmly, and then climbed up his fingers.

With a soft sound, just when the body of the man in black was pierced by Tang Xiujing from behind, there was a small sound of jade breaking.

The red ring on Yan Yuliang's finger was broken by that man.

"what……"

He opened his eyes wide and made a tiny, helpless, painful sound at that moment.
