true

After finishing the pastry, Fei Liu ran over with a pile of armor in his arms, "I can't wear it!"

Jingyan turns around and shakes it off, then replies, "This is my armor, of course you can't wear it."

"..."

"You are still young, in ten years, you will grow taller than Lin Chen." He gestured to the appearance of Fei Liu in his memory when he was 20 years old, "About this height."

Fei Liu gestured anxiously, pointing at the servant who was hastily preparing outside the door, "Clothes!"

Jingyan was stunned for a moment before he realized that Fei Liu was not helping him prepare his luggage, "You want to go to the battlefield with me?"

Fei Liu nodded heavily, "En!"

"You can't come with me."

"No!" Fei Liu anxiously grabbed Jingyan's hand, "Brother Lin Chen, no!"

Fei Liu still wants to talk, but Jingyan preempts him and says, "And I have one more thing I need you to do for me."

"Lin Chen asked me for this volume of "Xiang Di Ji" a long time ago, and he has not given it to him after so many years. You give it to him. If he doesn't take you, you can go to brother Lin Shu and ask him to accompany you. Go see... the mountains and rivers he walked through, I think you and he will like it."

"Stop talking!" Concubine Jing saw that Fei Liu nodded and took the book, she couldn't hold back the tears, she cried and stepped forward, threw the book on the ground, and grabbed it tightly. Holding Jingyan's hand, years of forbearance can no longer hold back her voice and begins to cry.

She knew her baby was leaving.

Tell me everything you're worried about, and he won't come back.

At this moment, she couldn't bear it anymore, all her wisdom and calmness collapsed in the grief and fear of being a mother.

"Jingyan...I know that I want you to promise at this moment that you will come back alive...just forcing you to promise something you can't control..."

"But I still ask you to cherish yourself. Mother only asks you to come back alive and complete your own unfinished business. When the time comes, at the end of the world, we mother and son will go together. Did you hear that?"

But this time, no matter how much she mourns, Jingyan just kneels.

Since childhood, he would not deceive himself.

Because he couldn't make a promise, he had no choice but to keep silent.

In the end, after kneeling to bid farewell to his mother and concubine, Jingyan said, "There is one more thing, please tell Xiaoshu about the pearls he wants... I have always asked Lin Chen to keep it for me."

"That pearl... the one who gave it to him should be 19-year-old Xiao Jingyan, not me."

--to be continued--

"In the future, the emperor of Daliang can't just sit and drink in the courtyard of Prince Jing's mansion every time before sending his generals off to battle."

These words are the farewell words of Lin Shu and Jingyan.From now on, they can no longer be like before, Jingyan is the king and Lin Shu is the minister.

But he also made a promise to Jingyan that he would guard Daliang's land and his emperor together with the Red Flame Army.

PS: I also discovered by accident that there is a word for Huoren in the word Yan (in fact, there is even small in the word Jing), and there is a word for buffalo in the word Shu.I don't know if the original author did it on purpose.

[Langya Bang] I True [Forty] (Shu Yan)

Xiao Xuan didn't know what happened in the palace, his suspicious and vigilant character made him feel some uneasiness in the slightly different behavior and expression of the palace people even when he was on the sick bed.

Concubine Jing didn't come today, but sent someone to deliver medicine and food. Emperor Liang drank the medicine reluctantly, took another sip of soup, and lay back on the bed tiredly.

The time of comatose sleep increased more and more, and when he was awake, he was just endlessly tired, even more sleepy than when he hunted all day with Lin Xie and Yan Que on the hunting ground.

Xiao Xuan knew that his time was running out.

Fortunately, falling asleep is not boring, the original chaotic and vague dream gradually became clear, and he could clearly see everyone's face in the dream.

He saw the person he wanted to see again, Jing Huan and Jing Xuan.

There is also Cheng Ting, but for some reason, he is dressed like a servant, dressed in gray, and he follows behind Meng Zhi, without the usual smile on his face, looking timidly at everything around him full of vigilance .

Suddenly, the child's eyes fell on a spot in the banquet, and his dim eyes suddenly lit up. Although he lowered his head, Xiao Xuan could still see clearly.

Jing Yu, who was once young, saw himself in the same way.

It is the child's eyes looking at his father, full of dependence in reverence.

Xiao Xuan followed Cheng Ting's gaze to find the past, he thought he would find Jing Yu who never appeared in his dreams.

But what he saw was Jingyan.

This is the first time Xiao Xuan sees Jingyan in a dream. He is dressed in the clothes of a county king, and there is no smile on his face. He can vaguely see some soldiers with guns and horses on the hand holding the cup. under the traces.

He was sitting there, obviously it was a lively banquet, but it seemed that no one could see him, and he seemed to be used to drinking alone.

Su Zhe was sitting not far from him, those eyes that seemed to see through everything were obviously full of calculation and hatred, but when his eyes fell on Jingyan unintentionally, there was a little more in an instant. Noticeable warmth and gentleness.

Xiao Xuan is relieved, it turns out that Jingyan is here, he is not Su Zhe, not that traitorous official.

That's strange, where's Lin Shu?

How did Jingyan, who would always be with Lin Shu no matter what he did, become what he is now?

By the way, Lin Shu is the vice-commander. Over the years, he and Jingyan have long been estranged.

Just like myself and Brother Lin Xie.

I remember Jingyan used to play with Lin Shu when he was a child, they were inseparable.

When Jingyan held the wooden sword for the first time, when he said seriously in a childish voice that he would protect Xiaoshu, Xiao Xuan seemed to see himself who once stood beside Lin Xie with his sword drawn when facing a beast.

He told Lin Xie that we will grow old one day, and when we are too old to protect them, we need them to support each other and live on.

Standing at Lin Xie just smiled, Xiao Shu is a blessed child with His Royal Highness Seventh by his side.

Xiao Xuan knew why he laughed.

Because after all, he failed Lin Xie, failed Yan Que, lived up to their expectations and sacrifices for the king and friend, and he got his current status because of their help. The poor who can't afford the debt.

The ambitions and promises of the past are still in my ears, Yan Que and Lin Xie both stick to their unchanged, but they are no longer what they used to be.

How could Lin Xie not hate, how could he not rebel, that's why he supported the army, that's why he supported King Qi, and that's why he colluded with Dayu——!

Dayu...

Everything in the dream began to collapse following these two words.

Faces began to flash in front of his eyes.

Li Yang knelt on the golden palace, held a handwritten letter in both hands and raised his voice to complain, "13 years ago, Xie Yu conspired with Xia Jiang to falsely accuse the Red Flame Army's commander Lin Xie of rebellion, and falsely accused the Red Flame Army of rebellion by King Qi. The chief envoy made King Qi and Shuai Lin suffer injustice, and the whole family was wiped out."

The sound of each word was like a prison, shaking the world in the dream.

Xiao Xuan finds himself standing in the Hall of Martial Heroes, where Jingyan is dressed in red, standing in front of Su Zhe.

A sword rests against his chest.

Xiao Xuan lowered his head slowly, and saw that the hilt of the sword was in his hand.

With a clang, the sword fell to the ground.

Pointing at Su Zhe, he said hoarsely, "You are the resurrected traitor! So you are——!"

He was the one who helped Jingyan ascend to the crown prince.

It turned out that he was always by Jingyan's side.

Xiao Xuan slowly opened his eyes from the dream, and murmured a few names in his mouth.

Jinyang.

Le Yao.

Chi Yan.

Lin Xie.

Jing Yu.

Every time he recited one, his cloudy eyes became clearer.

It turned out that those who did not appear in his dream had already been killed by him.

until he pronounced the last name.

——Lin Shu.

Gao Zhan, who was waiting on the side, heard the voice, approached the bed, leaned down and said softly, "Your Majesty."

"Gao Zhan, call the prince over here."

Gao Zhan hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent right now. The crown prince is handling military affairs in the East Palace every day. I'm afraid..."

"Go and ask him...do you still remember the unfinished game of chess with him on the day of Zhen's birthday banquet?" Seeing that Gao Zhan seemed suspicious, Emperor Liang tried his best to stand up, "You just have to ask. Change clothes for me...I can't see him like this."

----

When Jingyan walked into the Yangju Hall, Emperor Liang, wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on the bed, with a chessboard beside him.

"It was agreed to be played after the birthday banquet," Emperor Liang placed the chess pieces one by one, hesitating for a while, "As a result, when I returned to the palace that day, I dropped the chessboard... Do you still remember how the white pieces were placed?"

"It's been too long, I don't remember."

"...that's right." Emperor Liang also gave up, throwing the chess pieces back into the chess box casually, beckoning, motioning for Jingyan to come closer and sit by the bed.

Jingyan removed the chessboard beside the bed, and stood beside Emperor Liang's bed, allowing Emperor Liang to squint his eyes and look at him carefully as if he were looking at a stranger.

"Why didn't I take a good look at your eyes earlier?" Emperor Liang laughed to himself, "The eyes of people who have sat on the dragon chair are different from others. I should have seen it a long time ago. From Qishui It started... no, earlier, maybe it was the year of Meiling, right?"

"If I had thought about it a few years ago, you wouldn't have to spend all this effort." The emperor looked at him mockingly, "I would have killed Xia Jiang and Xie Yu and those villains."

"You will also kill Lin Shuai and Xiao Shu, and everyone who rebelled against you in the previous life." Jingyan said calmly, "My mother and concubine will also die."

"..." Emperor Liang was silent for a long time, then nodded, "That's right, you are right, if I had remembered a few years earlier, I would never have tolerated you."

"Mei Changsu told me back then that I didn't understand Jing Yu, let alone you...I really want to say
