return to peace

The world is in chaos, the people are displaced, and the world is in jeopardy, so a warning is issued to the world.

During the reign of Emperor Chen Guojing, a great war broke out, and Xiliang was defeated and fled Wancheng. At the critical moment, the barbarian iron army suddenly came to help the Xiliang army launch a counterattack.The barbarian iron army was invincible, and helped Xiliang seize five cities in a row. The people in the Chen Guo government and the people were panicked.

In the same year, there was a forest fire in Jizhou; the Pingzhou Dam broke its embankment; the temples in Lucheng collapsed;Gradually, rumors spread from the common people, saying that the emperor was immoral and had resorted to military force, which caused the gods to be angry and punish Chen Guo.After it was spread, it became more and more unbearable. Rumors such as killing fathers, usurping the throne, mutilating brothers, rape in the harem... Rumors were passed on one after another, and finally reached Chen Jingxuan's ears.

The fine glazed cup was violently swept to the ground and torn apart.In the huge palace, everyone knelt down and no one heard about it.

"They're all a bunch of waste!" Chen Jingxuan exploded in anger. He slapped the table violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted hoarsely: "Check it out! Check it out for me! Within three days, if I hear another rumor, you guys Come and see me!"

When the king was angry, blood flowed like a river.Under the high-pressure policy, the government arrested people everywhere, and the people cried and cried, and the people were in dire straits.

Chen Guowei Yang Palace, carved beams and painted buildings, brightly lit, silk and bamboo dumb, but it is a state of singing and dancing.Chen Jingxuan lazily leaned on the imperial concubine chair, staring casually at the graceful dance in front of him. Chu Zetan was by his side. Seeing his tired expression, he quietly ordered him to leave.

"Why did you break up?"

"Your Majesty, you are too tired, go to bed earlier." Chu Zetan persuaded with some worry.

"I'm not tired, since you've left them, you can dance for me, huh?" Chen Jingxuan pulled Chu Zetan over, Chu Zetan was caught off guard, and fell on his lap, Chen Jingxuan seemed to be there Carefully caressing the smooth back under the gauze.

Although everyone was sent away, Chu Zetan still felt a little shy, she pushed gently, and said, "Your eyes are all red, go to rest."

It's okay if she didn't mention it, but Chen Jingxuan's nerve was touched when he mentioned it, his face turned cold, and he pushed her away: "It's not a good thing your brothers did."

Chu Zetan was suddenly pushed by him, and just staggered to a stop when he heard this sentence, the grievance in his heart suddenly turned up, his nose was sore, and tears fell down.

Chen Jingxuan also knew that he couldn't hold back for a while and vented his anger, so he immediately put his arms around her and coaxed her in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it was the widow who vented his anger."

Chu Zetan wept silently, but he couldn't stop.Chen Jingxuan coaxed her at first, but later he lost his patience. Seeing that she was getting better, he said, "You should rest early, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Chu Zetan looked at his back that was drifting away, and the tears she had finally held back flowed down again. She watched the man she loved with all her heart go further and further away, and whispered: "Since when? , you call yourself 'widow' in front of me, and I have to call you 'Your Majesty'?" The soft whispers disappeared into the thick black night before being heard.

The rumors did not stop in the end. Due to the large-scale persecution by the government, everyone was in danger. Many people did not hesitate to risk their lives to climb over the high city wall and flee to the city controlled by Xiliang.Wherever Xiliang and the wild iron army passed by, the military discipline was strict, and they did not offend the common people in the slightest, which was praised by people.

When Chen Jingxuan knew how the people below handled this matter, he felt deeply tired after being furious. He intended to capture the thief first and act in secret, but he didn't expect that the people below were so grandiose. God, things are going in an uncontrollable direction.He vaguely understood in his heart that he had already lost this battle. He put all his eggs in one basket, betting on the hundreds of years of foundation of the great ancestors, and he was almost about to win. In the end, a barbaric iron army sprang up, but he lost in the end.

But if you lose, you have to stand up and lose.

In the late period of the Western-Chen War, Emperor Jing of Chen Guo led his own conquest to welcome Xiliang and the barbarian army in front of Changzhou.But at this time, the hearts of the people have been lost, the morale of the army has been dispersed, and Chen Guo's army has been retreating steadily. In less than three months, it has reached the gate of the capital of Chen Guo, Kyoto.

In the early winter season, the first snow has already fallen down.The ground is covered with a light layer of white, leaving nothing but coldness.The big flag of Chen Guo fluttered in the wind, fluttering on the wall, stubbornly holding on to the final dignity.Under the city wall, the barbarian army of Xiliang was pressing down on the border, coming menacingly.

Chen Jingxuan was still wearing hard armor, and the freezing temperature chilled his heart.Chu Zetan stood behind him in a snow-white cloak, his delicate face flushed by the strong wind.

In front of the city gate, Ji Fan, Chu Zexi, and Chu Lingshang rode horses in front of them, and the two armies confronted each other, killing each other.Chu Huaimin returned to Wuming Mountain in advance because he saw that the odds of winning were determined later.

"King Chen, are you planning to open the city and surrender, or sacrifice your [-] soldiers?" Chu Zexi raised his head slightly and asked loudly.

Chen Jingxuan snorted coldly, but did not answer.

Chu Zetan looked at the brothers below, feeling desolate in her heart. She pursed her lips and finally said, "Your Majesty, surrender." The wind blew past, raising her broken hair that was exposed outside the brim of the hat, covering her Red eyes.

Chen Jingxuan is an ambitious person, but he has never been a tyrannical person. He has no choice but to exchange half of the people for Xiliang enemy troops to go deep. He knows that he has already lost, and there is no need to pay another [-] innocent lives, but it is like this He was unwilling to lose Da Chen's hundreds of years of foundation.He looked at Ji Fan who was next to Chu Zexi, once a close friend, now a mature and stern wild general, with [-] wild cavalry standing behind him, defeating his plan just like that.

He has never hated him so much. If he knew this, he should have killed him with a knife.But the source of everything is him, the sick Xiliang Imperial Teacher, without him, Ji Fan would be his best arm now.

He squinted his eyes, touched his penis hidden in his sleeve quietly, and said through gritted teeth, "I can open the city gate, but I want Chu Lingshang to die! It's not too much to exchange a country with one person."

"Impossible." Before Chu Zexi could speak, Ji Fan said coldly.

Chu Zexi glanced at Ji Fan's frosty face, and continued, "You are at the end of your rope now, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with widows."

Chen Jingxuan sneered: "You are not qualified, but I still have [-] soldiers. If you attack forcefully, everyone will fight to the death."

"Then let's die." Chu Zexi said.

"Oh, I thought the king of Xiliang was so benevolent. He would rather give up the lives of many soldiers to save one person. Is it because of love for talent, or because of love?"

As soon as these words came out, although all the soldiers did not speak, they all involuntarily looked at Chu Zexi and Chu Lingshang.

"Chen Wang, struggling to the death, why are you doing this?" Chu Lingshang said quietly, his pale face turned red with the wind, but his body was already a little frozen.

Hearing this, Chen Jingxuan was suddenly furious. He could endure failure, but he couldn't bear contempt. He said angrily, "Even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me!"

He suddenly raised his hand in the direction of Chu Lingshang, and a small gun shot towards Chu Lingshang with lightning speed.Chu Lingshang's body was already a little frozen, and he couldn't avoid it. Although Chu Zexi was beside him, he was still at an arm's length away. Ji Fan was on Chu Zexi's side, and he was even farther away. Chu Lingshang saw The arrow was getting closer and closer to him, and there was the sound of howling wind in his ears.He watched the sharp arrow whizzing towards him, and suddenly his body was pushed to the side heavily, he fell off the horse, and when he looked back, blood bloomed in front of his eyes, and the arrow hit Lin Feng's chest.

Everything happened in a flash, and no one expected it to happen.In a rage, Chu Zexi took a bow and shot an arrow straight in the direction of Chen Jingxuan. Chen Jingxuan hurriedly blocked it with his sword, but the arrow missed its position. He just breathed a sigh of relief and shot another arrow. This time it was Ji Fan. The arrow of the arrow is wrapped in a thousand pounds of strength, and it is inevitable to avoid it.Suddenly, he was pushed, and the sound of an arrow piercing through his flesh was heard, and a slender and soft body fell into his arms.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.Chen Jingxuan hugged Chu Zetan in his arms, a little at a loss.Large swathes of blood gushed out, staining the snow-colored cloak she was wearing red.

And below, Chen Lingshang was holding Lin Feng halfway, gently pressing on his wound, so that the blood would not flow too fast.After all, the power of sleeve arrows and bows and arrows is different. Lin Fengshang was able to maintain a trace of sobriety and asked the military doctor to carry him to the rear for emergency treatment, but Chu Zetan's eyes were a little distracted.

She lay down in Chen Jingxuan's arms, looking at her lover's face with fine lines at the corners of her eyes, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and sank into her hair, she raised her hand to gently caress Chen Jingxuan's face, and smiled hard: "Jing Xuan, do you remember our child?"

Chen Jingxuan hugged her tightly, nodded again and again, choked up and said: "I remember, I remember. I am sorry for you."

He even forgot his title.

Chu Zetan closed his eyes, coughed twice, and blood oozes from the corner of his mouth: "I dreamed of him yesterday. He was a little boy. He said he really wanted to see his mother."

She couldn't lift her hand and fell down. Chen Jingxuan hurriedly grabbed her hand and stuck it to his face. At this moment of life and death, he realized that he had always loved her.A tear fell from his eye and hit her face.

"We are still young, and we can have many, many children. Tan'er, hold on, I'll find someone to save you."

He wanted to hug her, but she pressed his hand, shook her head, and cried like a child: "It's impossible, Jing Xuan, I can't be a mother anymore."

Chen Jingxuan knew this was the truth, at this moment, he couldn't say anything to lie to her.He was wrong, he killed their only child and broke her heart, which will never heal.

"You, you help me stand up."

"What are you going to do?" Chen Jingxuan picked her up, let her lean against him, and barely stood up.

Chu Zetan raised her hand to pull down the bucket hat, and the wind messed up her long hair.There are beauties in the north, peerless and independent.

She looked down at her cousin who grew up together since she was a child, her brother-in-law who had always admired him like a god, looked at the Xiliang military flag flying high, and all kinds of guilt and regret that had been torturing her filled her heart The whole emotion, tears wet her beautiful face, she cried with all her strength and confessed loudly: "Brother, Ze Tan is Xiliang's sinner, Ze Tan is sorry for Xiliang."

She turned around and pushed Chen Jingxuan away, and fell backwards, like a butterfly, falling from the high city wall. The wind lifted her hair and her white cloak, which was desolate and beautiful.

"Tan'er!" Chen Jingxuan pounced on her, the white cloak slipped across his fingertips, and he still missed her in the end.

Chu Zetan looked into those eyes, which were full of pain now, but they were once crystal clear.When they first met, she was framed and pushed into the pool. He jumped into the water to save her, and he also took off his clothes to cover her soaked dress.At that time, she was already a noble concubine, but he was the prince. In fact, from the very beginning, they were destined to have a bad relationship, but she never believed it.

However, she has no regrets.She is a moth to a flame, and she loves it.
