dust song

In the early morning, Murong Chengdu unexpectedly did not mention that Chu Lichen was poisoned for breakfast. Just when others thought that today was going well as usual, there were only a few veterans below the main hall showing guilt and sweating , Murong Chengdu looked at those old ministers who were trembling and standing with their heads bowed, the corners of his lips could not help but raise a twisted arc.

"The old man just saw that Junshang's expression is not abnormal. Could it be that Chu Lichen was not poisoned to death? Could it be that the palace servant sent by the Tai Tuo reported us to Junshang instead?"

"If this matter is really known to the king, according to his character, it is impossible for him to let it go. He dragged me out and beheaded as early as in the Palace of Political Affairs."

"Master Xie is right. Let's not think too much, don't talk too much, so as not to be listened to by interested people. As for that Chu Lichen, let's deal with it after a while."

On the way out of the palace, those veteran ministers walked side by side, secretly rejoicing that the deeds had not been exposed, but that night, every minister involved in this matter, their mansions were broken into by more than a dozen killers in brocade clothes at the same time, In the silent night, there were sudden mourners and blood rushing to the sky, and among these high-ranking official residences, the first to be wiped out was naturally the Xie family.

Grand Tutor Xie stared fixedly at the killers who were standing in the compound of the Xie Mansion, he was completely puzzled why the Xie family would suddenly suffer such a catastrophe.

The leading killer took off his mask, exposing his white teeth, and said coldly in his voice, "Your Majesty is merciful, I spare your Xie family Xie Xingxing's life this time, Mr. Xie can go on the road with peace of mind."

Xie Xingxing has become so stupid and insane now that she can't even recognize people, how can Murong Chengdu have any worries.

Looking at the corpses of relatives all over the courtyard, Taifu Xie's eyes were tearing, and he gnashed his teeth and cursed: "Murong Chengdu! You are so cruel. Back then you harmed my daughter, and now you are thanking my family for a Chu Lichen. Sooner or later, you will have your retribution!"

Before the words fell, the killer in front of him drew his sword in his hand, and sent it forward without mercy, the tip of the sword pierced the heart and went straight to the back.

"Bang—" Grand Tutor Xie lay down on the cold ground, staring at the crowd, it could be said that he couldn't stand his eyes.

It was already late at night when the news came back from the secret door, but Murong Chengdu had just finished approving the memorial and was about to go back to the dormitory. Two days ago, one incident after another in court seemed to be all aimed at Chu Lichen.

Thinking of this, the wound on his chest began to ache. What should he do to make those old stubborn old people shut up quietly?

The autumn night wind blew along the corridor, creating a sense of coldness for no reason.

Murong Chengdu looked at the brightly lit dormitory in front of him, thinking that Chu Lichen might have fallen asleep, so he walked in lightly, but who knew that what caught his eyes was Chu Lichen's moist eyes, he was leaning on From the low couch in the outer hall, he silently watched Murong Chengdu walk in.

Murong Chengdu stopped in place for a moment, as if he was tired, and asked with a absent-minded smile, "Is Chen'er still asleep? Are you waiting for me?"

"I said I want to talk to you." Chu Lichen glanced at Murong Chengdu's face, lowered his eyes and sighed: "If you are tired, go to rest, and it will be the same in the future."

After hearing this, Murong Chengdu smiled in relief, stepped forward and bent down to peck Chu Lichen's lips lightly, "Chen'er is caring about this king?"

Chu Lichen rolled his eyes, and said casually: "Think too much, if you die, I will be free."

Hearing Chu Lichen's duplicity, Murong Chengdu's handsome face showed a triumphant smile, "Now this king is still reluctant to die, and I will definitely grow old with Chen'er in this life."

Chu Lichen snorted coldly when he heard the words, turned around and said nothing to Murong Chengdu's words.

Murong Chengdu didn't dare to approach, hesitated for a moment, then held Chu Lichen's hand carefully, and asked softly: "Chen'er, your mother's death day will be three days later, can I accompany you?"

Chu Lichen was stunned for a moment visible to the naked eye. He didn't agree immediately, nor refused immediately, but turned his head to look directly at Murong Chengdu's face, and asked: "I never mentioned it to anyone, how do you know my mother The day of death is three days later?"

"On the day of the assassination outside the city earlier, this king saw you go to the forest alone. Afterwards, this king sent people to investigate and said that they found your mother's tomb..." Murong Cheng held his hand Chu Lichen put his cold palm on the wound on his chest, and said hoarsely, "Even though you were wearing an embroidered skirt at that time, this king recognized you at a glance."

Unexpectedly recalling the assassination, Chu Lichen's expression changed suddenly, and his eyes darkened "suddenly". He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Murong Chengdu firmly held him back.

Chu Lichen was still worried about touching Murong Chengdu's wound, so he didn't dare to break free, so he glared, and sarcastically said: "Did you really care about me back then, or was it because you were too suspicious? clear."

Perhaps at that time Murong Chengdu was very suspicious of why Chu Lichen had to secretly come out and follow them to Qingyang Mountain outside the city, so he specially sent people to the woods to search for some clues.

Murong Chengdu originally wanted to show that he cared about Chu Lichen, but he didn't expect to make Chu Lichen angry. He looked at Chu Lichen sadly, and said anxiously: "It's my king's fault, I shouldn't Mentioning."

After finishing speaking, Murong Cheng Dujun's face froze, his face turned pale immediately, his brows were furrowed, as if the pain was unbearable.

It seems that this poison is very ferocious, and it will not be cured for a while.

Murong Chengdu hurriedly turned his back to Chu Lichen, and after a while, he lost his voice and said, "Chen'er, it's getting late, go and rest."

"If the wound hurts, let the imperial doctor help you with the medicine. Why bother to hold back, and I don't know who to show it to." Chu Lichen gave Murong Chengdu a cold look, and then walked into the inner hall without looking back.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Murong Chengdu turned around and stared at Chu Lichen's back, then shook his head helplessly and smiled wryly.

......

The autumn wind is blowing, the wheels are busy, and the magnificent and huge motorcade is approaching in the distance, rolling up the muddy dust on the official road outside the city.

The banner of Tianquan fluttering in the wind, and the two rows of forbidden soldiers riding on horses all showed the noble status of the owner of the car.

Chu Lichen sat quietly in the corner of the carriage, looking at the pleasant Qingyang landscape outside the carriage without saying a word, breathing in the air greedily, as if he had not felt the freedom for a long time.

Suddenly, it has been a year since he visited the tomb outside the city last time.

Murong Chengdu sat leaning on the other corner of the carriage, silently staring at Chu Lichen who was dazed beside him. Since that night three days ago, Chu Lichen had never spoken to him again.

Murong Cheng rubbed his forehead, his eyes were a little tired.

The kind of uneasiness ignited from the bottom of his heart is the most tormenting, Murong Chengdu would rather Chu Lichen scold him in anger than him to say nothing, not even give him a look.

"Chen'er, come in and be careful not to catch the cold."

It's unbelievable that now he can lower his figure and bow his head repeatedly for Chu Lichen's sake.

Chu Lichen still looked outside and didn't answer when he heard the words, but after a while, he still sat a little further away from the carriage entrance.

The convoy traveled for a while, and finally arrived at the familiar woods. After Xun Wuya sent people to look around to make sure there was no danger, Murong Chengdu got up first and got out of the car.

Just when Chu Lichen was about to get out of the car, a big hand was put in front of his eyes, but Chu Lichen ignored him indifferently. He jumped out of the car with a bag of paper money and walked straight into the woods.

Murong Chengdu was silent for a while, and the next moment, he slowly withdrew his awkwardly stopped hand in mid-air. He specially ordered the imperial guards to stay here, and only brought Wuya and the others to follow behind Chu Lichen, but he didn't care. Dare to get too close.

In the vast and quiet forest, apart from the chirping of birds, there was also the sound of several people stepping on the grass. When Murong Chengdu came to the tomb, he saw Chu Lichen bending over to pull the weeds from the grave.

Just as Murong Chengdu was about to step forward, Chu Lichen saw this and went straight to stop him, "I'm fine by myself."

Chu Lichen's cold tone reached his ears, and Murong Chengdu finally couldn't help but get angry, he pinched Chu Lichen's slender wrist with five fingers, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really want to reject me thousands of miles away like this? "

Chu Lichen sighed, and said stiffly: "I have something to say to my mother alone, just stand at a distance for a while, just a few moments."

Murong Cheng's deep gaze flicked back and forth between the tombstone and Chu Lichen, and finally nodded, leading Wu Ya and the others back a few steps.

Only then did Chu Lichen feel relieved, took out a fire pocket from his pocket, and lit the paper money in front of the tomb. Facing the light of the burning fire, he fell to his knees with a plop and knocked his head three times. It took a long time before he straightened up. He smiled miserably and said, "Mother, you should see your father down there, have you heard his explanation? Maybe I was wrong, or maybe we were all wrong..."

As Chu Lichen said, he couldn't help biting his lower lip, and tried to hold back the tears from pouring out from his teeth, "My child remembers that when I was in the Chu family, my father always secretly came to see you from time to time. He remembers you every year. Although they all said that my father took you back to the Chu family because you were pregnant with me, but now that I think about it, he can obviously buy a house outside the Chu mansion and buy a few servants to take care of me. You are fine, but my father still gave you a title despite the rumors and rumors, and married you into the Chu family..."

The words stopped suddenly, Chu Lichen seemed to have thought of something, and murmured with blurred eyes: "Maybe sometimes we are too greedy, so we ignore the love of people around us, maybe what we get, It's all he can give."

Chu Lichen was putting paper money into the fire while talking softly. The fire light accompanied by green smoke made his face hazy and blurred. With tears in his eyes, Chu Lichen choked up and said, "Father, mother, she has been suffering all her life. Now, you have to treat her well down here."

Why some things can only be understood when the people you care about leave one by one. Is this the Lan Yinxuguo that Siwen once told him?The truth is so cruel.

Chu Lichen smiled sadly and helplessly, he stood up slowly and involuntarily turned his head to look at Murong Chengdu behind him.

Murong Chengdu's heart was pulled hard by the desolation in Chu Lichen's eyes, there seemed to be a voice that made him walk over immediately, he felt that Chu Lichen needed him now.When he came to the grave, Murong Chengdu didn't say a word, just stood quietly beside Chu Lichen, watching with him the remaining paper money was reduced to ashes bit by bit.

Chu Lichen stood upright in front of the tombstone. Although his eyes stayed in the distance, he asked Murong Chengdu who was beside him, "Murong Chengdu, let me ask you again, do you want the treasure of the Chu family?"

"Your father would rather die than tell where the treasure of the Chu family is hidden. This thing has already been stained with the blood and tears of your Chu family. Instead of causing the world to fight for it, it is better to let this secret be buried here forever."

Murong Chengdu's obsidian-like pupils stared firmly at Chu Lichen, with countless sincerity in his eyes.

Chu Lichen looked back at Murong Chengdu, and there were a few waves in his eyes. He naturally understood that what Murong Chengdu said meant that he had already guessed that the treasure of the Chu family was buried under this tomb.

After being silent for a while, Chu Lichen suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed, and then he heaved a long sigh of relief, as if he hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time, "Murong Chengdu, I said that I wanted to talk to you the other day. , what I want to say is, I forgive you."

I forgive you.

The words hit his heart heavily, and Murong Chengdu's eyes turned red, he had never thought these words were so sweet before.

Murong Chengdu smiled happily, and even forgot to hug Chu Lichen excitedly. He raised his trembling arms, and moved his thin lips twice. Although his voice was hoarse, it could not conceal the joy in his voice: "Chu Lichen My son, this king will surely grow old with you for a hundred years, never to be separated from life to life."

Chu Lichen was moved in his heart. After many days, this face finally showed an overwhelming smile, "Madman, you won't let me go even if you die."

A shallow smile is enough to make Murong Chengdu willing to die immediately.

The man as strong as a mountain couldn't bear it anymore, rushed forward and held Chu Lichen's face in his hands, lowered his head with tears in his eyes, and kissed the most devout and affectionate lips on the red lips.

.......

The two hugged each other in the forest for an unknown how long, until the sun rose to the center, Murong Chengdu suddenly remembered that Chu Lichen should go back to the palace to drink medicine, and then reluctantly let go of the person in his arms.

Murong Chengdu lightly stroked Chu Lichen's cheek, and said softly, "Chen'er, let's go home."

Chu Lichen nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go home."

Not long after that, the mighty, handsome and clean two walked out of the forest close together.

Everything ushered in a rare beauty and peace.

But when Murong Chengdu had just sent Chu Lichen into the carriage, he felt an abnormal noise coming from the lake beside the convoy. Sure enough, within a moment, as a dazzling red light rushed into the sky, the water suddenly Dozens of killers with high martial arts skills emerged.

They lined up, roaring involuntarily and rushing towards the convoy.

"There are assassins! Come, protect your lord!" Wu Yahu yelled at Murong City with his sword in front of him. He never expected that these assassins would be ambushing in the lake all this time!

Chu Lichen was about to poke his head out when he heard the movement, but was pushed back by Murong Chengdu's palm.

"Stay inside and don't come out for now."

Chu Lichen was full of eagerness, "You come up too!"

Before he finished speaking, Murong Chengdu suddenly smiled proudly, and drew his sword domineeringly: "As a king, how can you hide in fear, and let these ignorant Xiaoxiao underestimate the joke for nothing."

However, their carriage was parked by the lake, and by the time the imperial guards reacted, the assassin had already arrived.

"Murong dog thief, you are licentious and immoral, you have harmed Zhongliang in the court, today we will take your life! Look at the sword!"

Immediately following the howling roar, sharp sword blades came through the air. The front row of the imperial guards couldn't hold back and fell down. The rest of the imperial guards were dragged down and couldn't rush to escort them in time. Only Wuya was left alone in Murong City. Speed ​​around to block.

Today was to visit Chu Lichen's mother's grave. He had already guessed that the treasures of the Chu family were hidden here, so he didn't bring more people out to avoid people's eyes and ears. Unexpectedly, some people took the opportunity to enter.

The wound on Murong Chengdu's chest hasn't healed yet, and the poison in his body hasn't been cured a few days ago, so now it's difficult to take the next few moves.

At this moment, several assassins raised their swords and walked into the carriage. Thanks to someone reminding him, Chu Lichen managed to dodge and rolled to the other side. The back collar was thrown out from the entrance of the carriage.

Seeing this, Murong Chengdu's eyes were about to burst, and at the cost of being stabbed in the arm, he stepped over the shaft of the car, turned over and flashed in front of the assassin who had captured Chu Lichen.

"Looking for death!" Murong Chengdu withdrew his sword, piercing the man's chest in a split second.

"Wuya! It's not a good time to love fighting! Hurry up and deal with the remnants!"

While protecting Chu Lichen back, Murong Chengdu raised his head and growled with difficulty. He only wanted to protect Chu Lichen to a safe place, but he didn't notice that
