I see the snow

Those who live in this world must have something to look forward to.

Some live for others, some live for themselves.

Hou Shang's hope of living in this world is to make up for his most unforgivable mistake in his youth and get his beloved back.

"She and I escaped from Cang Lan together."

Hou Shang said in a hoarse voice: "Her name is Geerma, which means star in our local area."

When Canglan City was broken and the entire Yin family army guarding Canglan was annihilated, this not only brought a shock to Yinzhichuan, but also turned countless Canglan residents into refugees.

Hou Shang and Germa are one of them.

They had no choice but to leave their hometowns and came to the most prosperous capital of stars and fields.

On the one hand, he wants to seek justice from the imperial court; on the other hand, he also feels that it is easier to find a way out in this place known as the "heart of Zhonglu".

However, the commoners from the border towns did not understand that the richer and more powerful a place is, the more dangerous it is.

It is the most dangerous thing in the world to rashly approach a place full of powerful people.

——Because you don't know at which moment you will be treated as a pastime for the superiors when they are bored, and they will grind you casually.

For them, it's just a harmless banter, maybe it's your whole life.

"I remember... that day we ate outside a teahouse."

In a daze, Hou Shang said in a low voice.

Although he came from a long distance and trekked for a long time, he still sold some of his valuable things in order to let his beloved woman eat better food and take a rest.

He bought a beggar chicken, which he found in a deep alley.Even though it was already the cheapest price in the capital of Hoshino, it still used up the last bunch of warm copper coins on Hou Shang's body.

After running for a long distance, Hou Shang came back with a smile, took Xiao Qingmei and squatted by a ditch in a back street, and ate the skinny chicken together.

It was really a small and pitiful roast chicken, only half the size of the girl's palm.

Hou was still reluctant to eat, so he squatted next to Qingmei and smelled the fragrance.

He wanted to say something to cheer each other up, for example, the city of Hoshino is getting better and better, tomorrow I will go to the pier to find a job, etc...

But at this moment, before he could say anything, he heard a woman's exclamation, she said:

"Ah, there are two beggars picking up leftovers!"

It turns out that this is behind a restaurant, and in front of it is the most prosperous inn in the capital of stars, where countless rich and powerful children enjoy singing and dancing and beauties.

Hou Shang and Qing Mei squatted here because it was close to the roast chicken place, and they could also see the beautiful Shennv River on the other side and hear the distant singing.

I didn't expect that my poor appearance would also hinder other people's eyes.

"Yin Changfeng, you actually found a place with beggars to invite me to dinner!"

The beauty immediately became angry, her beautiful eyes widened, and her almond eyes were filled with tears: "You bastard who is feared by the tigress at home!!"

In a blink of an eye, he burst into tears and left the table with the maid.

A young man was stunned on the spot, he wanted to do something to the beauty, but he didn't expect the fat from his mouth to fly before he touched her.

Immediately burst into flames.

It was probably that accidental passing that angered the son-in-law. He was so furious that he immediately had Hou Shang arrested and brought upstairs.

"It was only later that I found out that he is the son of Qin Tianjian Taishi."

Hou Shang said slowly, the man leaned against the dilapidated door corner of the hut, his eyes were dull and dull: "At that time, the largest official department in the capital of stars and fields was Qin Tianjian."

"You lost my beauty, and you have to pay for it."

He said to Hou Shang, "Is this your childhood sweetheart?"

One of the ways for the superior to feel the pleasure of power is to torture others and control their fate.

Under Hou Shang's horrified eyes on the spot, Prince Taishi rewarded his beloved to an ugly prisoner.

"Don't say my young master bullied you."

Yin Changfeng looked lazily at Hou Shang, and took out two dice from his arms: "Here. Do you want to play dice? If you win a game with me, I will return this bitch to you."

That was the most important gamble in Hou Shang's life.When he picked up the wooden dice, his hands were shaking.

However...he lost.

He pressed big, but the set started small.

Later, the gamble in Junzilou became a nightmare that Hou Shang would never get over.When he played dice again, he never made a "big" bet.

"Why, why should they..."

The man with red eyes roared angrily: "Can being the son of Taishi be domineering, can being the son of Taishi be lawless!?"

Yin Zhichuan looked at him silently, he couldn't say that word, because he was also a beneficiary of the powerful class.

But he knew in his heart that in such a prosperous city, in such a capital of stars and fields, the answer is "yes."

That afternoon, Mr. Tai Shi laughed out loud amidst Hou Shang's grief-stricken cries, which was indeed much more enjoyable than the fun he got from looking for Mei Ji.

The ugly Marquis Jian who received the reward took Hou Shang's green plum back and became his concubine.

Not long after, I heard that the girl was kicked out by the prisoner's new love, and she became a prostitute in the suburbs.

Hou Shang wanted to find her, but he never saw her again.

"So, you want to save money and then marry her?"

After listening to everything, there was a silence, and Yin Zhichuan asked.

"Yes!"

Hou Shang replied: "She doesn't want to see me, she doesn't want to hurt me anymore, but I still love her. No matter what she becomes, I would like to be with her!"

But many times, the world is so cruel that it can't be added, driving you to a corner.

Hou Shang frantically saved money, got things from dead people, and did everything he could, but at the moment when he was about to succeed, he saw the corpse of his childhood sweetheart.

She is not too different from the appearance when she was separated, and she can still see her appearance back then.It's just that there are traces of timidity and worldly affairs on the innocent face.

She lay in the middle of the pile of corpses being sent for burial, with her eyes closed, her face pale, and her whole body icy cold.

Swept by a roll of worn grass.

Hou Shang immediately went crazy.

"I want to know who killed her."

Hou Shang said repeatedly: "They didn't die by themselves... They didn't die by themselves! Someone killed them!!"

But what can he do?

He could do nothing but collect the corpses of all the women he sent and found that they all had gold plants hidden in their bodies.

He didn't know who killed them with golden plants, and he didn't know why they died, so he could only recreate and spend these golden plants clumsily, gambling day after day.

I hope this will attract the attention of the murderer and come to the door.

So he can get his revenge.

"So you think we're the ones who killed these girls?"

Yin Zhichuan frowned.

"Aren't you?"

Hou Shang's eyes dimmed: "Aren't you... What are you looking for me for? How could you notice these gold bars?"

"We're here to investigate the relief money in Guanshan County."

Yinzhi Chuanxin said, but it's no wonder Hou Shang set up traps outside the house.Ever since he spent those gold bars, he has been waiting for someone to notice him and come to him one day.

"What about the corpses?"

Yinzhichuan asked again: "You found the corpse with Jinzhu hidden in its body. Take us to have a look."

Hou Shang rolled his eyes sluggishly, and before he could speak, the door outside the shack was suddenly pushed open.

Standing outside the door, Xi Huai obviously heard their conversation just now.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around the room for a week, and said in a low voice:

"No. I've seen it."

"... More than half of those girls were chosen as sacrifices for the 'River God's Bride'."

……

Different from the development of the situation on Xihuai's side, Shen Yan and Chu Yuan's side not only did not encounter a sudden turning point, but turned straight down.

First, a quarrel broke out because of Yan Jin, and later, during a confrontation, Shen Yan accidentally slapped Chu Yuan...!

This was unique to them, Shen Yan froze in place, and Chu Yuan never expected it.

He was the most fleeting person, already sick and weak for a long time, when he was slapped, half of his pale cheeks suddenly became red and swollen, leaving five deep finger marks.

Shen Yan immediately felt anxious, and wanted to lean over to check on Chu Yuan's situation.

But Chu Yuan seemed to be stunned, and just looked up at him in a daze.

His snow clothes were spread messily on the ground, and he fell on the side of the bed, looking at Shen Yan's eyes as black and clear as a deep pool.

Like a child who was treated undeservedly.

"Xianyu...Xianyu, I'm sorry, I just..."

Shen Yan was at a loss and wanted to help him up in a panic.

Chu Yuan also let him support him, but he didn't move until he carried him from the ground to the bed.

He touched his swollen and numb cheeks for a long time, but didn't speak.Shen Yan would rather that he be angry with herself or criticize something, but seeing him sitting there in such a daze, she felt light in her heart.

"Xianyu..."

Shen Yan said: "I... I'm sorry, I don't know what happened, I accidentally—"

He has been very irritable recently, as if there is a voice in his body that does not belong to him clamoring.

Sometimes if the palace servants do a little wrong, it will cause him to be furious.He wasn't like that before, but lately he's been looking more and more like a moody tyrant.

Chu Yuan was silent for a long time. After a long time, he coughed, covered his heart, and coughed sullenly, but curled up and said to Shen Yan:

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty...it was Chu Yuan who overstepped."

"No!"

Shen Yan immediately said: "I'm sorry Xianyu, it's my fault, let me rub it for you—"

However, Chu Yuan shrank back slightly as if he was scared by him.

Shen Yan froze in place, watching those slender fingers covering her snow-white face, compared with the red and swollen bruises, the red and swollen areas looked even more shocking.

"Chu Yuan is tired today, so I will leave first."

After a while, Chu Yuan slowly got up from the couch, bowed to Shen Yan and saluted.The long jet-black hair covered his profile, making it impossible for Shen Yan to see the expression of the stargazer in snow clothes.

Shen Yan clenched her hands by her side, as if she wanted to hold back something, but she couldn't say anything.

After a long time, he only clenched his lower lip deeply, and watched Chu Yuan's leaving figure without saying a word.

why?

He looked at his right hand: he would be angry with Chu Yuan?

At that moment, he heard Chu Yuan say "Yan Jin is fine", almost unconsciously, he waved his hand out somehow.Seeing Chu Yuan staggering and falling, he suddenly woke up.

How could he hit him?

How could he hit him! !

He is the person who has been thinking about him for a few days even when he coughs, how could he do anything to him?

Shen Yan stared at her fingers in despair, feeling as if a big stone had been pressed in her heart, and she was so oppressed that she couldn't breathe.

He felt like something was about to change, but he couldn't control it.

The so-called emperor, being alone is the destiny of his life.Even if someone wants to get close, they will only be stabbed by their sharp edges, right? ...

On the other side, Chu Yuan walked out of the gilt palace, and after closing the door, he was very preoccupied.

Because he noticed that when Shen Yan hit him just now, he used his right hand.

The right hand that symbolizes the heart and kindness...

When he was controlled by Seven Kills, he would naturally become left-handed.

Chu Yuan still remembered that chaotic night in Cangyun Palace, the man bound him with his left hand.

In other words, if Shen Yan is still using his right hand, it means that he is not controlled by Seven Kills.

Originally, the recent chaos made Chu Yuan wonder if it was the evil star that woke up again.

But no matter whether it is inferring the destiny or calculating the star trajectory, it is impossible to find the shadow of the star that implies the subjugation of the country.

Now it seems... all the changes were made by Shen Yan himself?

The stargazer in Xueyi clenched his fingers, the fingerprints on his cheek were still aching.

why?

The pale and chronically ill young man thought in confusion, with a look of regret in his eyes:

Do people really change?

Once his teacher told him, never get close to the heart of an emperor.Because that's the most moody thing in the world.

But Chu Yuan felt that Shen Yan was different, he was willing to give everything for him, forever.

Now, is it time for the teacher's prophecy to be fulfilled and his retribution?
