Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

The earth dragon turned over, the mountains shook and the ground shook.

The feeling of vibration first came from the feet, like thousands of troops galloping past.Immediately afterwards, the houses and trees on the ground also began to shake, and they couldn't even stand firmly.

Cracks on the ground spread rapidly like a spider web.

The Xiishizhai Village built on Xiaopan Mountain was also shaking endlessly. Yin Chengyu even heard the sound of shouts and footsteps in a panic. It was people on the mountain running down.

Rocks continued to fall from the mountain, hitting the ground and stirring up waves of dust.

All this happened in just a few breaths. Yin Chengyu fixedly looked at Xiaopan Mountain not far away. He had excellent eyesight. When he saw countless gaps in the exposed mountain of the steep mountain on the opposite side, a bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart. .

He took two steps back and subconsciously grabbed Xue Shu's wrist: "The mountain is about to collapse, order the troops to withdraw!"

More and more rocks rolled down, and they were getting closer and closer. Xue Shu protected Yin Chengyu, and said in a heavy tone, "I will escort His Highness away first!"

Yin Chengyu grabbed his arm tightly: "No, let the herald pass the order first!"

The two looked at each other, and Xue Shu could see the firmness in his eyes, knowing that he would never leave the soldiers behind, so he stopped wasting time and quickly went to find the herald.

Meeting the generals he was looking for along the way, Xue Shu didn't have time to say more, so he sternly ordered them to immediately pass on the order: Withdraw the troops.Stay away from Xiaopan Mountain and Fuhuling, the farther you retreat, the better.

In addition to the Four Guards Battalion, there are also Qingzhou Guards, with a total of more than [-] troops, all of whom are scattered and stationed on the open ground under Xiishi Village.It happened to surround the exit of Xiishizhai.

But once something happens like now, it will take more time to notify everyone to evacuate immediately.

When the earthquake just started, the soldiers panicked for a moment and then calmed down, standing still and waiting for orders.It is not uncommon for the earth dragon to turn around in the Northland, and ordinary soldiers also know how to deal with it.It is useless to run at this time, just find an open place and wait for the earthquake to subside.

Therefore, when Yin Chengyu and Xue Shu rushed to the camp of the Chinese army, the soldiers gathered outside the tent and waited for orders.

"Order to withdraw the troops, and withdraw immediately. Don't worry about food, grass and supplies, everyone will leave immediately."

It was the first time Yin Chengyu showed such an anxious look, and his tone was quick and anxious.At this time, the earthquake has not stopped, and it is getting stronger and stronger.The person swayed along with the ground, almost unsteady even standing.

The herald got the order, one stood on a high place to signal, and the other blew the horn to retreat.

Amidst the loud noise of rocks collapsing, the sound of the horn to withdraw troops spread quickly.One after another.

The soldiers on standby heard the sound of the evacuation horn and immediately began to withdraw from the boundary of Xiaopan Mountain.

"Let's go too."

Yin Chengyu glanced behind him, held Xue Shu's hand tightly, and ran forward together with him.

The ground shook more and more violently, and the tiny cracks gradually expanded to the width of a palm.Yin Chengyu ran forward desperately, his heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst, but he didn't dare to turn his head.

Suddenly there was a loud noise behind him, and it exploded in his ears like thunder, and then the whole world was shaken.

The rolling rocks and mud are like a torrent, rolling in vegetation and chasing after them.

The movement behind her was getting louder, and the voice was getting closer, as if it was right next to her ear.

Yin Chengyu was dragged forward by Xue Shu, couldn't help but looked back, and saw only half of Xiaopan Mountain standing on the spot.

The broken mountain body slid down completely, and the rocks, soil, and vegetation rushed like a flood breaking the embankment under the huge impact. Some soldiers who fell behind were sucked in before they even had time to dodge.

"Too fast, too late."

Xue Shu looked around, quickly selected a huge rock, and pulled Yin Chengyu to hide behind the rock.He hugged Yin Chengyu tightly in his arms, wrapped him up with his body as much as possible, and whispered "don't be afraid" in his ear.

In the next moment, the huge boulder was hit, and clods of gravel and soil came all over the sky——

It was pitch black all around, and the nose was filled with the smell of earth.

Yin Chengyu was in a daze for a moment before realizing that he was not dead yet.He moved tentatively, and found that the waist down was buried by earth and rocks, and he couldn't move.The chest on the back is warm, it is Xue Shu holding him.

"Xue Shu?" Yin Chengyu tentatively groped, but he didn't meet anyone, and the first thing he got was the rough bark.

He groped carefully, and confirmed that the big tree lying diagonally above them had saved their lives—there was a boulder behind them, and this big tree with luxuriant branches happened to be lying on the boulder, and its branches blocked most of the earth and rocks, forming a Found a small shelter.

"Your Highness?"

Xue Shu also woke up. He moved his stiff arms and carefully groped Yin Chengyu's body, his tone tense: "Are you injured?"

Yin Chengyu felt a little dizzy, but he didn't want him to worry, so he just said "no".

"What about you?" He tried to confirm Xue Shu's condition, but he was hugged by Xue Shu from behind, unable to move at this moment, only touched his arm.

"I'm fine." Xue Shu buried his head in his neck and rubbed it lightly.

Yin Chengyu calmed down, thought for a moment, and said: "The earthquake outside should have subsided. After counting the number of people and finding that we are not there, we will definitely send someone to look for us. Next, let's talk less, save our energy, and wait for others to find us. "

Xue Shu gave an "um" and hugged him even tighter.

The earthquake lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour, and the weather, which was originally considered clear, suddenly began to rain.

Ying Hongxue looked at the collapsed Fuhu Ridge, her expression became more and more solemn.

She didn't even wait for the earthquake to subside completely, so she unloaded the horses from the carriage and flew up: "Are Xue Shu and the others unloading the stone village?"

"Yes." Cui Ci got on the horse after her, but he didn't understand yet: "The military camp is stationed in an open place, so there should be no danger."

"The landslide has collapsed, that direction should be Xiaopan Mountain." Ying Hongxue spoke extremely fast.

The military camp was stationed in the open area in front of Xiaopan Mountain.

Cui Ci's eyelids twitched, realizing the seriousness.Stop talking nonsense, and galloped back after her.

The earthquake caused many parts of the official road to crack and collapse, and the houses in the villages along the way were all collapsed.The people who escaped by chance knelt in the rain, kowtowed, and prayed for God to appease the anger.

When the two arrived, they saw the commander of the Qingzhou Guard was counting the number of people.

The head of Xiaopan Mountain not far away has been cut off, leaving only half of it.The collapsed rubble and mud buried the original military camp.

Cui Cize stepped forward immediately: "Where are your Highness and Supervisor Xue?"

The commander's face turned pale: "I haven't found anyone, I'm still looking."

In fact, there is another possibility that he dare not say, that is, the crown prince and Supervisor Xue were buried in the pile of rubble.

After they heard the retreat horn, they immediately retreated to the open space on both sides.But too many people affect the speed in the end.Hurrying too quickly did not have time to completely evacuate, and more than 2000 people were folded inside.

At that time, the prince and supervisor Xue asked the herald to notify all the troops stationed, which probably took a lot of time.

Cui Ci looked at the ruins in front of him, and his heart tightened.But now that Supervisor Xue is not here, he can only suppress his panic and stabilize the situation first: "Suppress the news that the prince and Supervisor Xue have disappeared, and send a team of people to search around. Then rectify the troops and clean up the pile of rubble. Search for the wounded."

"Has anyone seen Xue Shu in the end?" Ying Hongxue asked.

The commander didn't know her, but seeing her coming back with Cui Ci, he still said: "The situation was urgent and the scene was chaotic. I only know that Supervisor Xue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are both in the Chinese military camp, and the Chinese military camp was the last group to evacuate."

The garrison barracks are distributed in long strips, the left and right ends are withdrawn first, and the middle is the last.

Ying Hongxue nodded, and said to Cui Ci, "You take someone to look for it first, and I'll go back as soon as I go."After speaking, he got on his horse again and headed towards Yidu City.

——She was looking for He Shan.

In order to give He Shan time to withdraw from Fuhuling, she deliberately took Cui Ci around Fuhuling for half an hour before coming out.

Calculated according to the time, without accident, He Shan should have brought people to the vicinity of Yidu City by now.

Halfway through Ying Hongxue's journey, she saw several horses galloping towards her.

She squinted her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar figure immediately.He put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.

Soon there was a whistle on the other side.

Only then did Ying Hongxue rein in, waiting for He Shan and his party to come over.

"Are you all right, brothers?"

"It's okay." He Shan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her: "We were lucky. We didn't encounter an earthquake until we were near Yidu City. If this was in Fuhuling, there might be nowhere to escape."

Ying Hongxue nodded when she heard the words: "Go and gather people, follow me to Xiaopan Mountain."

"Where are you going?" He Shan hastily pulled her back, "I heard the movement, the area between Xiaopan Mountain and Fuhu Ridge is probably a landslide. I don't know if the dragon has turned over here, and it's dangerous over there. "

"Xue Shu was probably buried inside." Ying Hongxue slapped his hand away, and took the lead to ride back to Xiaopan Mountain.

He Shan was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to gather the manpower, while he himself chased after Ying Hongxue.

There is no light around, and you can't see your fingers, which makes people dull to the changes of time.

Yin Chengyu couldn't tell how long he had been buried, but he felt that his body temperature was gradually losing, and his head became more and more dizzy.

The body that reacted with hindsight also continued to experience bursts of pain.

He tried his best not to make a sound, but turned his body sideways, put his head on Xue Shu's shoulder, and called softly: "Xue Shu."

"I'm here." Xue Shu responded in a low voice, leaned his head over, and rubbed his face fumblingly with him.

After receiving the response, Yin Chengyu felt relieved, put her head on his shoulder, tried to suppress the discomfort in her body, and forced herself to cheer up.

But the more this is the case, the more dizzy the mind becomes.

In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time before his death in the previous life, and he was so weak and exhausted.

It was already the winter of the third year of Suihe, and it was only half a month before the new year.

At that time, he was enthroned as the emperor, and he was in control of the power, but because of his fundamental injuries when he was imprisoned in the imperial tomb in his early years, his health went from bad to worse.

Although Emperor Longfeng went, he was left with a mess.Dayan was precarious due to internal and external troubles, so he did not dare to relax for a moment, and he persisted sleeplessly for several years, until he ran out of fuel.

All the diseases broke out in this winter, and the medicines and stones were ineffective.

The imperial doctor gave him the needle tremblingly and retreated, only his younger brother Yin Chengyue stood by his side.

Yin Chengyue will be ten years old, and it has only been five years since he returned to the palace. Yin Chengyu still has many things that he has not had time to teach him, but time waits for no one.

"There is Zheng Duobao in the inner court, and Xie Yunchuan in the court, at least for three to five years, nothing will go wrong... But the power is charming, you must grow up as soon as possible, and the most secure thing is to hold the power of the government in your hands, and you must not blindly dependent on others."

Zheng Duobao is the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi, who has been by his side since he was a child and is loyal; Xie Yunchuan is his confidant who was single-handedly promoted, and he once owed him a favor.

In addition, in the past few years since he took the throne, he has made drastic reforms, and almost all courtiers who have dissenting opinions have been purged. After thinking about it, there is only one person left who can threaten Yin Chengyue.

——Xue Shu, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies and the admiral of the West Factory.

Xue Shu is the sharpest sword soldier. When he was alive, this sharp blade could still be held in his hand to kill the enemy.But he couldn't guarantee whether this sharp blade would turn towards Yin Chengyue after he died.

He never leaves hidden dangers in his work.

Xue Shu must die.

However, the words rolled and rolled in his throat, and he couldn't get out of his mouth.

Probably because the entanglement was too deep and too long, and at the critical moment, he actually felt a little soft-hearted.

"Forget it, you go out first, let me think about it." Yin Chengyu pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, but he couldn't make up his mind.

When Yin Chengyue went out, she bumped into Xue Shu coming in.

He seemed to have just come back from the outside, the cloak on his body hadn't been taken off in time, fine snow particles were condensed between his eyebrows, his whole body looked a little colder than the frost and snow outside.

Yin Chengyue was always a little afraid of him, so after nodding in greeting, he left in a hurry.

Xue Shu stopped in front of the inner hall, untied his cloak and threw it to the little eunuch behind him, first went to the Kowloon gold-plated stove in the corner to dry his hands, and did not approach the bed until the chill on his body dissipated.

The eunuchs and maids serving in the hall quietly retreated with winks.

"Back?" Yin Chengyu looked up at him with a complicated expression.

Since he fell ill, Xue Shu has been searching for doctors for him.A few days ago, he heard that there was an old doctor in Yanzhou Mansion, Zhejiang Province with excellent medical skills, so he rushed to Zhejiang with his people and returned today.

"Well, that old thing was trying to gain fame and reputation, and his medical skills were not good, so he didn't bring him back." In a few words, Xue Shu explained the result of his trip to Yanzhou Mansion, but Xue Shu didn't show any emotion on his face, and talked about another matter.

"The imperial mausoleum has been completed in a hurry. Your majesty is not yet married and has no concubines. It is inevitable that one person will be lonely when he sleeps forever. Therefore, I ordered the craftsmen to build a catalpa palace that can accommodate two people... In the future, I can continue to serve your majesty in the underworld."

He sat down by the couch and tucked in the brocade quilt for Yin Chengyu.

The movements are very light, and the expression is soft, and at first glance it seems a little gentle.

In these years, the two have exchanged interests and entangled desires, but there is little warmth.Yin Chengyu has gotten used to his eccentricity and sarcasm from time to time, and he is also used to the entanglement between the beds.

This man is both a sharp blade and a beast, with plunder and paranoia engraved in his bones, gentleness is incompatible with him.

Now that he suddenly changed his face, it actually made Yin Chengyu feel a little soft-hearted, and he hesitated even more in his vacillating thoughts.

In the end, Yin Chengyu couldn't make up his mind, and could only say "nonsense" feebly.

He thought, wait a little longer, wait a little longer.

Wait for him to think carefully about how to deal with this person.

But his illness refused to wait.

Three days later, his condition deteriorated again, and when he woke up again from his lethargy, Yin Chengyu suddenly felt a sense of impending doom.He knew in his heart that he might really not be able to hold on this time.

The confidant courtier knelt on the ground in front of the couch, he forced himself to arrange the affairs behind him one by one.

When it was Xue Shu's turn, he stared at each other for a long time, then sighed, and said: "Order Xue Shu, the eunuch with palm seal, to be the assistant minister, to assist the prince together with Xie Yunchuan, a scholar of Wu Yingdian, to help the government. I hope you... I hope."

In the end, he still couldn't kill him ruthlessly.

The author has something to say:

Big Dog: Your Majesty is reluctant to kill me, Your Majesty loves me so much.

Dog hook:?
