so long

Outside the lively palace of the White Roof Palace, the entrance of the cave on the bottom floor attracted a guest who hurried down the mountain with the token of the palace lord.

The guest does not look like a cult person, nor does he look like a gang of bandits with no image at all. The guest is wearing a light gray cloak, and the huge brim of the hat just covers the upper half of his face, the exposed part It's not conspicuous, but the lips look fuller in the early morning light.The long black hair poured out from the hood, hanging directly on the thigh, it was as black as ink, and it looked like a fairy when it was blown by the wind.

"Where are the guests going?" Zhang Quan, who did not participate in the palace lord's wedding ceremony because he was guarding the entrance of the cave, looked at the visitor and asked his doubts in a hoarse voice, "The palace lord's wedding ceremony will take three days and three days. Night, guest, if you leave now, you may miss the delicious food and wine."

The guest who held the emerald green jade token with a ball of blood red didn't seem to like to say much, walked very slowly, and held on to a cane of invisible material, just quietly waiting for the power to lead the way, The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

"Okay, okay, I'm just asking casually. Since it is the token given to you by the palace lord, there must be important things to do when you go down the mountain. I, an old man, don't ask any more questions." Zhang Quan is a middle-aged man over half a century old. People, usually talkative, drank the good wine from the wedding banquet, and even smiled, but the smile looked sinister, "Come, let's go, I will take you down the mountain."

The visitor nodded, and followed Zhang Quan into the imposing entrance of the cave. Behind him was the magnificent palace still immersed in the joyful atmosphere. He subconsciously glanced back, raised his head, and had a panoramic view of the dawn sky. The petals moved, and I didn't know what to say to the palace full of red tassels, and finally turned and left, with light steps, not even leaving a trace...

Walking in the long and narrow tunnel, with nine bends and eighteen bends, countless forks and different strange rocks slowly disappeared behind him. Zhang Quan walked in front with an oil lamp, and took a sip of wine from the flagon from time to time. Then he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and turned his head to urge the guests going down the mountain to go faster, while cursing and complaining about the things going up and down the mountain.

"Damn it, if I knew I wouldn't do this kind of errand, even though I'm free, now I have to let those bandits bring the wedding wine for the palace lord's wedding. Hey, guest, can you see that our palace lord is married? Is it a woman? Isn't she pretty?"

The guest walking behind who was a little stiff was silent for a while when he heard this, and said in a flat voice: "I didn't see..."

"Haha, that's true. It is said that our palace lord's wife is very tight by the baby. She couldn't wait to finish all the long-winded things about the hall, so she was carried back to the bridal chamber by the palace lord!" Speaking of this, the messy gray beard on Zhang Quan's chin Shaking, he turned to the left again, and the footsteps of the two echoed all around, "By the way, where are the guests from?"

"... Dongming."

"Oh! They came from the imperial city!" When Zhang Quan talked about this place, he even gloated, "A few days ago, I heard that Dongming City was under martial law. In order to find a foolish prince, oh, Prince Ning , you should have heard of it, think about the scenery back then, tsk tsk... the emperor's house..."

Hearing the contemptuous laughter of the person in front, the guest also smiled slightly, but the smile was a bit sad.

"Hey, guest, where are you going this trip?" Zhang Quan said quickly after asking, "I didn't ask about any secret missions, just to say, you also know that the world is not peaceful recently. From Beitong to the south, there are all battlefields. Ah, fortunately we are in a good position, they beat them, and we sit and wait for both sides to suffer... Go out and find the leak."

The guest was amused by Zhang Quan's straightforward words, and the negative impurities in the smile finally faded when he saw the faint light in front of the tunnel, like the inexplicable joy of returning to the world from the darkness jumping in the air.

There were several other guides guarding the pavilion at the foot of the mountain. Most of them were yawning and talking about what happened in the rivers and lakes or the latest war, but everyone talked about the fall of a certain city with an indifferent attitude. , talking about a city full of blood in a certain place...

Zhang Quan went down the mountain and said hello to those people, and said to the strange visitor behind him who was leaning on a cane: "Okay, go down the mountain from here, and you can go to Beitong City by bypassing the pool. Take care, brother!"

The guest nodded and went down the mountain slowly. A small warm sun and gorgeous clouds appeared in front of him. As he went down the mountain, he looked at the token in his hand, then let go and let the token fall to the ground , caught in perennial snow.

At the same time, in the wedding room on the top of the mountain, there should have been two people lying on the big bed, only the young man was left alone. Zou Jitian's red eyes that looked like beast pupils were all bulging, although he was not disturbed by anything. Restrained, but unable to move, unable to speak, he stared at the door that was not closed when his 'Madam' left, his handsome face was expressionless, and his eyes were dead silent...

In Dongming City, thousands of miles away, the palace where the Supreme Emperor Juxiu resided is now much more 'lively' than before, with cold-faced eunuchs and maids guarding everywhere, seemingly 'serving' but actually 'surveilling'.

On the contrary, it was the scene inside the house. A man who looked exactly like Prince Ning was muttering, throwing himself on an eunuch as if in a state of insanity and asking him to call himself Prince Ning. After getting the reply, he haha Smiled and said: "No, I know where I am not like, I know!"

Saying that, he took out a delicate dagger from his sleeve, ran to the room where Emperor Juxiu was resting, and when Emperor Juxiu looked over, he took off his clothes, knelt down on the carpet, stretched out his hand He took the dagger and stabbed it between his legs, and blood gushed out immediately, but he smiled and said, "Look... I have it too... I can have a baby too..."

Emperor Juxiu lost a lot of weight, but his brows were still sharp and powerful. He looked at the mad man in front of him, and coldly called the former eunuch Eunuch Fang, who was guarding outside, to come in, and said, "Drag him to Yin Shen. Go ahead and stop him from going crazy and throwing him back at me."

Eunuch Fang naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he obediently called the outsiders in, and dragged out Wei Jiangli, who had lost a lot of blood but was still muttering crazy words, and couldn't bear to look directly at the other person's body, He also took a quilt to wrap him and sent him to the place where the new emperor lived.

A few days ago, the new emperor came to Emperor Juxiu's residence and 'borrowed' Wei Jiangli to ask questions. Emperor Juxiu didn't care. When he came back, Wei Jiangli looked like this. Eunuch Fang knew it since he entered the palace. The ruthless and cold-blooded Emperor's family, seeing this scene now, still feels extremely terrified.

To put it bluntly, Wei Jiangli is also a master who thinks too much of himself, thinking that he can replace another person, replace another person, and gain supreme favor and glory, but these are not things that you think can be done.

Now that Prince Ning is gone, he happened to hit the gun, and blatantly pretended to be Prince Ning when the new emperor found him.

Up to now, Eunuch Fang can only sigh: He deserved to end up like this...

When Eunuch Fang ordered the little eunuchs behind to carry Wei Jiangli, who had dyed the quilts red, to the imperial study of the new emperor, he learned that the new emperor was not here, but went to the Anliu Pavilion. The place where hundreds of portraits were placed was placed as a forbidden area by Emperor Xiu.

After so many twists and turns, when Eunuch Fang brought the little eunuchs behind him to the gate of the Dark Liu Pavilion again, Wei Jiangli, who was being carried, was already exhaling more and breathing less.

As a result, at the door, the young chief eunuch appointed by the new emperor stopped him, and asked Eunuch Fang to put the person down and leave. He would go in and explain the matter to the new emperor.

Eunuch Fang probably thought that he would never see Wei Jiangli again. This person is either dead or half-dead in the world, but he doesn't feel pity for the other party. Poor people must have something to hate, and he has no time to protect himself. Where? Still feel free to pity others?

The imperial palace is such a cruel and ruthless place.It will not become full of vitality just because of a change of emperor.

What's more, this emperor might be even more violent and cruel than the previous ones, and even the city's palace is extremely deep...

The current chief eunuch watched Eunuch Fang and the others leave, kicked the 'corpse' wrapped in sheets with his toes in exchange for a few unrepressed voices, frowning and shaking his head, he entered the Dark Liu Pavilion.

Inside the Dark Grape Pavilion is a place that no one can enter. The new emperor hovers here like a giant dragon hiding countless treasures, and will punish everyone who watches here, even the most confidant young eunuch chief Standing outside the screen, looking at the blurred figure on the screen, before speaking, Xindi asked:

"Yuexi, what's the matter?"

Xindi's voice was a little lonely in the empty space where countless portraits were placed...

The young father-in-law named Yuexi replied: "The Supreme Emperor threw a dying man outside. It was the man His Majesty tortured last time."

"Destroy his face, then you can figure it out..."

"Yes." Eunuch Yue backed out respectfully, and when he saw the 'corpse' randomly thrown in the corner, a look of interest flashed across his pair of phoenix eyes looking at the red sheet, and he squatted on the bed of the 'corpse'. Next to him, while lifting the quilt, he showed a faint smile when he saw Wei Jiangli's legs with a dagger stuck in it. His hands were stained with blood between the opponent's legs, and he licked it with the tip of his tongue, and then The voice suddenly softened and said:

"The color of your blood is so beautiful..."

……

When the warm sun completely broke away from the water level and illuminated the land, the 'guests' who came down from the White Summit also passed through the dense forest and passed by the beautiful mirror-like water lake.Thinking that he would come to the peaceful Beitong, he even wanted to find a place to rest, change his clothes, and then go on his way, but what he saw was a chaotic and bloody war!

Countless barbarians rushed into Beitong City, dressed in animal fur, holding spears, and riding horses, roaring and screaming, as well as the cries of children and women, and the counterattack of Yin Chao's army. The evil spirit that made Beitong fall into hell.

The man recalled that when he first arrived in Beitong, the cherry blossoms seemed to be in full bloom...
