Pour the glass

At dawn, the haze remains.

At the head of Huaiyang City, the autumn wind is rustling.

Ye Lingxi stood there, looking in the direction of Hanxiguan, her face no longer had the joyful face of the past——on her temples, there were mottled white hair, low eyebrows, and a pair of silent eyes like stagnant water.

"Still thinking about what brother Baili said?"

Yan Ge pressed the sword and walked over, shook the warm robe in the other hand, and put it on Ye Lingxi's shoulders.

Ye Lingxi sighed softly, then turned her head and said, "Women and women, do they really have true love?"

Yan Ge remained silent. This question had always troubled her.

Ye Lingxi turned her head away, "Is...is she really a woman?"

Yan Ge remained silent.

Ye Lingxi sighed deeply, tears seemed to appear in her eyes again, "Could it be that she approached me just for the Longevity Cup, and she never had such a thing for me..." Her voice choked up suddenly, and she held back her thoughts. If you want to say something, sob softly.

"Don't cry..." Yan Ge called softly in a hoarse voice, wanting to stretch out his hands to hug Ye Lingxi into his arms, but found that his arms were so thin that he couldn't even stand up. As tall as Ye Lingxi, her arms froze in place, she shook her head, "Shuangzhou cannot live without you, if you hurt yourself, Dayun will..."

Ye Lingxi suppressed the tears in her eyes, and nodded her head heavily, "Yes, how can I be sad for these children's affair anymore, I shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't be like this..."

"if……"

"Xiao Ge, will you accompany me to defend Shuangzhou and Dayun, the last state, okay?"

"promise."

Under the city of Huaiyang, in the mist, a figure vaguely flashed, and finally disappeared in the depths of the mist.

"The little one owes you, let the little one pay you back the Taiping Shuangzhou."

When Ziyuan left Huaiyang City, she secretly said this sentence to herself. Sure enough, the song was so shocking that it disappeared in a flash, and she and her were no longer friends.

In Lin'an Tunnel, Chushan lost his father, lost his loyal servant, and Ziyuan lost his sister Su. It's hard to calculate the grievances and grievances among them.

three days later.

The hunting flag fluttered above the city of Hanxiguan, and the blood-red "Jin" characters abounded, declaring that the entire Xizhou was already the territory of the Great Jin.

"Hahaha, Xizhou finally belongs to me!"

At the head of Hanxi Pass, a middle-aged man in royal robes with tendrils on his face shouted proudly, his eyes were sharp, and the imperial arrogance was natural, he was the current emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Yong of Jin Xiao Yang.

"Cough cough."

Beside him, a white-haired old man in a black witch robe coughed softly, clutching his left rib, as if he was injured, he raised his face, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were as dark green as Ayejie, It is Ayanna, the national teacher of the Jin Dynasty.

Emperor Jin Yong frowned and said: "The national teacher has been injured for quite some time, you need to take care of your body."

Ayana smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, you can rest assured that this old man can still bear it."

"You can take it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take it for a long time." Emperor Jin Yong's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at a line of fish belly in the east, "Dayun and four states have not yet been included in my Dajin territory. I don't have a prince under my knees yet, and I haven't had the luck to meet a Dayun princess, I feel so unwilling!"

Ayena laughed and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you will surely get what you want in your heart."

"Really?" Emperor Jin Yong asked darkly, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily, "Your emperor Gu mother has found a way to continue her life, but what about me? Where is my longevity cup?" place?"

"Uncle! Uncle! What a joyous event!"

When Emperor Jin Yong was furious, he heard Qi Wang Xiao Huan's excited voice resounding from the deep passage in the pass.

"What's so exciting?" Emperor Jin Yong stood coldly with his hands behind his back, watching Xiao Huan running up quickly holding a brocade box.

King Xiao Huan of Qi ran up to Emperor Jin Yong with the brocade box, and suddenly knelt down and said joyfully, "Uncle Emperor, my nephew did not disgrace the Holy Order, and finally found the Longevity Cup. Uncle Emperor, don't you think this is What is the big happy event?"

Emperor Jin Yong was overjoyed, "Really?"

Ayana's eyes lit up, and he stared at the brocade box closely, "Let the old man test the authenticity for His Majesty." After speaking, he was about to open the brocade box.

Emperor Jin Yong's cold eyes suddenly fell on Ayena, which made Ayena hesitate for a moment, and then withdrew his hand again, "Master, there are some things that I can acquiesce to you, but if I don't say anything , you shouldn’t do it, otherwise, my Dajin might think that you are the master of Dajin!”

Ayanna apologized again and again: "The old minister was rude, please don't blame him, Your Majesty."

"En." Emperor Jin Yong responded casually, and anxiously took the brocade box from Xiao Huan, opened the brocade box, and hastily took out the jade cup in it.

The shape of the jade cup is simple and unsophisticated, reflecting a faint dragon pattern. At first glance, it is indeed exactly the same as the Changshengzi cup.

"Your Majesty, you still have to be careful." Ayena reminded subconsciously without taking his eyes off the jade cup in Emperor Jin Yong's hand for a moment.

Emperor Jin Yong thought for a while, then sneered and said, "What's the matter? I'm still afraid that my nephew will poison me? I still remember that whoever can return the real longevity cup as promised at the beginning will be the big one. Prince of Jin!"

When Xiao Huan heard this, his heart suddenly became hot, "That's right! Uncle Huang, my nephew had someone try it. Drinking from this cup can make a white-haired old man grow black hair in an instant, and the old man will be alive and kicking like an old man." Dozens of years younger!"

"Really?" Emperor Jin Yong thought about it again, "Come here, bring a glass of water, and grab another old slave!"

"No!" The guard on the top of the wall clasped his fists and bowed, and quickly ran down the top of the wall. Not long after, he brought up a glass of water and an old man.

Emperor Jin Yong poured water into the jade cup, looked down at the trembling old man, "It's your luck to try the cup for me, drink it!" After speaking, he handed the jade cup to the old man.

The old man shook his head tremblingly, "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, please be merciful!"

"I don't want to say it a second time, drink it!" After Jin Yongdi finished speaking, the guards on both sides stepped forward and forcibly poured the water from the jade cup into the old man's mouth.

"Your Majesty, your jade cup." The guard carefully returned the jade cup to Emperor Jin Yong.

Emperor Jin Yong took the jade cup and carefully watched the old man's changes. He saw that the old man's white hair suddenly turned black at the root, and his whole face suddenly became rosy, as if he looked like a child.

"Sure enough, it's the longevity cup, this is really the longevity cup!" Emperor Jin Yong laughed excitedly, waved his hands to signal the guards on the left and right to take the old man down, holding the longevity cup tightly in his hands, as if thinking of something suddenly, he looked at it Glancing at Xiao Huan, he said with deep meaning, "In the past few months, your cronies and minions have acted swiftly, and everyone in the court has praised you very much. I think, are you a little too anxious? If I have After drinking this Longevity Cup, I won't be able to die for a while, but you do these things, but it makes me feel that I can't sleep well."

Xiao Huan only felt a chill in his back, and quickly kowtowed: "These...these are all things that my nephew did to protect the stability of the capital, not..."

"I know that my nephew will not murder me, and I know that the future prince will not murder me, so..." Emperor Jin Yong suddenly had a flash of murderous intent, and saw him turning a white bone ring on his left middle finger , suddenly murmured a strange incantation in his mouth.

"what--!"

Neither Xiao Huan nor Ayana expected that Emperor Jin Yong would use the blood curse of the Xiao family at this time, intending to use the blood contract to activate the Emperor Gu in Xiao Huan's body, killing him.

He only heard Xiao Huan let out a miserable cry, and a bunch of blood dripped from his nose. He looked at Emperor Jin Yong in fear, and said in a mournful voice, "Uncle Emperor, spare your life, Uncle Emperor, spare your life!"

Ayanna also hurriedly begged: "Your Majesty, please think twice, now is the time for the Great Jin to employ people..."

Hearing Ayana speak for him, Xiao Huan hurriedly knelt and climbed to the side of the national teacher, grabbed his clothes, and begged: "The national teacher save me! Save me! If I die..."

"You have to die if you want your minister to die!" Ayana shot out suddenly, pinching his throat with his fingers, and instantly killed him on the spot.

Emperor Jin Yong looked at Ayena's every move with cold eyes, "The national teacher seems to have become faster."

Ayana quickly explained: "Your Majesty, please don't doubt the loyalty of the old minister. The old minister just suddenly realized one thing. If your majesty got the Longevity Cup today, he will surely live forever, and one day he will get it." Lin'er inherits the great rule, so why give this hard-earned country to my nephew?"

Emperor Jin Yong was caught by Ayena's words, and said with a smile: "At that time, the emperor made a blood contract with your ancestors, and exchanged my Xiao family's lifespan for the curse of urging Gu and controlling fate, so that you Aye's lineage will always be the country. Teacher, share the wealth and honor of the world. As long as you understand one thing, the rise and fall of your Aye lineage is bound to the prosperity of our Xiao family. If one day, you are no longer loyal, I will definitely do my best to break the blood. Qi, your Emperor Gu mother will also die. After losing the Emperor Gu's Aye lineage, do you think those witches in Lihuang will still be afraid of you, and Dajin will respect you? You and I should understand, many The reason why people obediently submit to my Xiao family is because they are afraid of the emperor's gu, so you should figure out for yourself which is more important."

"How could the old minister do such a thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall?" Ayena lowered his head and cupped his fists, and finally knelt down in front of Emperor Jin Yong, "Your Majesty should be the overlord of this thing Erlu, and the old minister has to assist a generation of overlords to rule the world. It's the old minister's luck!"

"Very good!" Emperor Jin Yong got the words he wanted to hear the most, "Then about the agreement between you and King Qi, I will pretend that I have never heard of it, so you can step back."

Ayana only felt his back go cold, and he didn't expect that the emperor in front of him would know the things he had agreed with King Qi.For a long time, he thought that Emperor Jin Yong was just an emperor who was obsessed with beauty, but he never thought that Emperor Jin Yong was so clear about everything, and kept holding back, just for today, watching them one by one for his overlord's road to longevity. wedding dress.

At this moment, Ayena finally understood that the agreement between Emperor Jin Yong and the princesses and nephews that whoever brings back the longevity cup will be the crown prince. The emperor laid out today's situation, and today is just closing the net.

Once King Qi died, the forces that King Qi had accumulated in the court would undoubtedly collapse. At the same time, King Qi's eradication of dissidents over the years, open and covert battles with Xiao Zhanxue, and King Shu were just a check and balance technique of Emperor Jin Yong.

Now the king of Shu died in Dayun, which gave Da Jin a reason to send troops. Princess Huang Ling lost her whereabouts. For Emperor Yong, the world that belongs to him will soon come.

"Come here! Bring me a jug of fine wine!"

Ayena slowly walked down the Hanxi Pass, only feeling that the future was bleak, and those planned situations had to be reorganized because of King Qi's sudden death. After all, an uncontrollable emperor was too much for Aye's lineage. Dangerous.

"There's a man riding over from the east—"

Above the tower, the sentinel shouted.

Ayana stood halfway and looked east, and saw A Ling riding a galloping horse alone, he couldn't help panicking, and thought to himself: "Strange, didn't Xiao Huan say that the Longevity Cup was taken by a murderer? Why is Xiao Zhanxue still alive?!" His eyes sank, full of hatred, a few months ago, after all, his only son almost died in the hands of this woman, and now she can break out of the situation, Ayana thinks , a brand new bureau is about to roll out.
