======================

In Luanyang Palace, the wind and rain are miserable.

Nanheng Emperor Qi Heng had already taken off his dragon robe and put on a battle armor.

With a blank face, he wiped the sword in his hand over and over again.There was a cold light on the edge of the sword, which made people shudder.

An old eunuch stumbled in from outside the hall, with an unconcealable panic on his face.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the old eunuch felt sad, knelt down, and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, General Qin Yang has rebelled... This morning he led people to surround the mansion of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Bai Dutong and Zuo On the contrary, he refused to obey, and was beheaded on the spot..."

I don't know how long it took before he heard Qi Heng's neutral "hmm".

Qi Heng had expected it a long time ago.

Ten days ago, Xilan invaded, and Qin Yang led an army of 30 to Yanhe and stopped advancing.I don't know what kind of agreement was reached with General Xilan in three days, but he actually defied the imperial decree and led his troops to approach Hengdu.

Counting the days, it's almost time to arrive today.

Qi Heng raised his deep eyes and looked outside the hall. "How about elder sister?"

Princess Nanheng, Sui He, married General Qin Yang at the age of 19.

The old eunuch directly kowtowed, wanting to cry: "This morning Sui and Princess heard that General Qin Yang's soldiers had arrived outside the city of Hengdu. They were deeply saddened and hanged themselves in the general's mansion..."

Qi Heng clenched his fists and his knuckles squeaked.

"Elder sister..."

he murmured.

Jiang Deqing thought for a moment in His Highness, but still couldn't help but uttered dissuasion: "My condolences, Your Majesty! The immediate priority is to leave the palace as soon as possible, so that we can make a comeback in the future!"

There are only 30 forbidden troops outside the hall, and they are really unable to resist Qin Yang's [-] troops and Xilan's [-] reinforcements.

With Qi Heng's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to conquer him personally.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Deqing kowtowed three times on the ground again: "Your Majesty's going here will be very dangerous!"

How bad is bad?

The corner of Qi Heng's mouth twitched into a hint of sarcasm. It is no exaggeration to say that he must die.

I only heard him ask lightly: "Where is Empress Lan?"

As soon as he mentioned this person, Jiang Deqing began to tremble violently.

Seeing the old eunuch's appearance, Qi Heng felt a bad thought in his heart.

"When did Your Majesty learn to fight?"

Lan Xizhu came from outside the hall in battle armor. Lightning and thunder rumbled outside the hall, which was gloomy and cold, which set off his somewhat pale face.Lanxizhu's body is much thinner than ten years ago, but he is still majestic in armor.

This is the last general who can fight in the entire Nanheng Kingdom, but he was forcibly imprisoned by Qi Heng and lived in the deep palace for several years.

When Qi Heng saw him, the calmness on his face could no longer be maintained.

He hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly: "Jiang Deqing, you are so courageous! I asked you to send the queen out of the palace a few days ago. Is that how you do your errands?"

Jiang Deqing lowered his head, not daring to offend Holy Wrath.

Lanxi Zhu stopped him and said, "Don't make things difficult for him, it's because I don't want to leave."

He stepped forward step by step, looked into Qi Heng's eyes, as if he was asking for guilt: "Your Majesty, the territory of Nanheng was bought by my father and brother with their lives. Now that the country is in crisis, Your Majesty will let me run away?"

He smiled sympathetically, "...There is no such reason."

Lan Xizhu wanted to tell him that he didn't stay for Qi Heng, but for Nan Heng.Nanheng's country was in calamity. As a general, even if he died, he would die on the battlefield.

From the beginning to the end, he refused to admit his relationship with Qi Heng.

Qi Heng loosened his grip on the sword, and the sword slid to the ground with a crisp sound.

He looked at Lanxizhu's face that hated him, and wondered in a daze what he had done all these years.

The Lan family is a family of generals who have been loyal to the country all their lives, but in the end almost all of them were destroyed.He also forcibly brought the youngest remaining son of General Lan Lao into the harem and humiliated him for several years.

He also delegated 30 military power to General Qu Du Qin Yang, making Qin Yang the only person in Nanheng other than him who holds military power, because he is the son-in-law of the eldest princess.

Unfortunately, in the end, the two people he most wanted to protect were not protected.The person he once trusted became a knife hanging around his neck, cold and ruthless.

The elder sister was already dead, so he couldn't let Lanxizhu die with him.

Qi Heng raised his eyes slightly and let out a silent sigh.

"Azhu, do you hate me?" He didn't even use "Zhen", as if he was asking himself, or Lanxizhu.

Lanxi Zhu was startled.

Killed his eldest brother and third brother, bullied himself for several years, and in the end he was still asking Lanxi Zhu if he hated him?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Qi Heng walked towards the person on his own.

"The [-] Imperial Guards are at your disposal. This is the only remaining soldier in the palace." Qi Heng handed him a box directly, "The emperor's seal is included."

The emperor's seal can mobilize the forbidden army, which is more effective than the imperial decree.

Lanxizhu took the box, thinking secretly.

With the addition of his [-] Xuanyu cavalry, he and Qin Yang can still fight.

Qi Heng's eyes have never been so tender, it seems to be the last look before parting.He approached Lanxizhu quietly, and tightened his cloak.

He moved his face closer, and stopped in front of Lanxi's bamboo lips, thought for a moment, then moved up, and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

Lanxi Zhu subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but she clenched her fist and accepted the kiss without taking a half step back.

"Azhu, in the next life... stay away from me."

Lan Xizhu sensed something was wrong with his words, and was slapped by him without thinking.

Unprepared, he directly fainted in Qi Heng's arms, only vaguely hearing the last sentence:

"Jiang Deqing, send the queen out of the palace."

Lanxi Bamboo seemed to have had a very long dream, and the sky in the dream was dark:

The carriage was bumpy, and the wind and rain outside the car were miserable.

Jiang Deqing was driving the carriage, feeling extremely flustered.

He didn't know when the pursuers would arrive, and he didn't know when Lanxizhu would wake up.

The weather is always bad, the rain is mixed with mud, and the mountain road is not safe.

After driving for a while, Lanxi Zhu gradually gained a shallow consciousness.He looked around and found himself in a moving carriage.Recalling the scene in Luanyang Palace before he passed out, Lanxi Zhu's expression changed.

He opened the curtain, only to see Jiang Deqing's somewhat embarrassed back.

"Eunuch Jiang?"

Jiang Deqing was overjoyed when he heard the sound.Fortunately, the general woke up before the pursuers arrived. With the general's ability, it is not difficult to protect himself.

In this way, he can be regarded as completing the last errand given to him by His Majesty.

"Don't be afraid, general, we have already left Hengdu City."

Lanxizhu only felt a little dizzy, and he supported his forehead. "Where is Qi Heng?"

It has been a long time since I heard Jiang Deqing's answer.

He had no choice but to ask again louder: "Where is Qi Heng?"

Hearing Lanxizhu's constant questioning, Jiang Deqing had no choice but to choke up and said: "Your Majesty led [-] forbidden troops...the whole army was wiped out."

He just passed the teahouse at the foot of the mountain and heard everyone talking about it.He didn't dare to stay for a moment, bought some refreshments and continued on his way.

These words were obtained by Jiang Deqing from the second child.

Lanxi Zhu collapsed on the soft couch of the carriage.

For some reason, he felt some tightness in his chest.

If he had heard the news of Qi Heng's death in battle a few years ago, he would have applauded.

But now Lanxizhu couldn't laugh.

With Nanheng gone, what the Lan family had guarded for generations was destroyed.

The man who tortured and abused him day and night was gone.

In this world, there is only an empty shell called Lanxi Bamboo left.

Does Qi Heng think that he can redeem his sins by doing this?

Why is he afraid of life and death in Lanxi Bamboo!

Thinking about it, he coughed violently.

Jiang Deqing noticed the movement, with a sad expression on his face: "General, take care of your body! If the general makes any mistakes, this old slave will have no face to face His Majesty even if he is in hell!"

Lanxi Zhu was taken aback.

"Eunuch Jiang, why did Qi Heng protect me..."

Jiang Deqing was a little anxious when he heard this, his lips trembled violently. "How could the general not know His Majesty's intentions? The old slave has been serving His Majesty since he was eight years old. I have never seen him care so much about anyone! Your Majesty regards the General's life more than his own. How can the General Don't you know?"

Lanxi Bamboo is unable to distinguish.

His mouth opened, but he finally swallowed what he wanted to say.

He couldn't bear Qi Heng's love.

No one can sympathize with the person who inflicted pain after the whole family was destroyed and abused for several years. Even if Lanxizhu is soft-hearted, he cannot forgive him.

As a subjugated woman, what leisure does she have to think about love and hate at this moment?His heart is already dead, even if Qin Yang's rebels chased him up and wanted to kill him on the spot, Lanxi Zhu would not have the strength to resist.

How could it be so embarrassing.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes, he stared blankly at the dim carriage, his eyes were dead silent.

What Qi Heng said was right, in the next life, Lanxi Zhu must stay far away from him.

He touched his aching heart, and missed his parents and brothers a little bit.

Lanxi Zhu fell into a drowsy sleep again.

I don't know how long it has passed, and there is a lot of noise in my ears.

In a daze, he heard the sound of swords clashing from around him, shouts of beating and killing outside the car, but he couldn't even lift his eyelids inside the car.

He heard the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh, as well as the inarticulate "general run".

He could vaguely tell that it was Jiang Deqing's voice.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't.

Only then did Lanxizhu realize that he had been drugged.

Perhaps there was something wrong with the food Jiang Deqing took away. At this moment, he only felt unbearable abdominal pain, sweating profusely, and gasping for breath.

"General Lan... Empress Empress..."

The voice of the visitor was very sharp, as ruthless as the biting cold wind in winter: "I...see you on your way."

This is the end of the dream.

He woke up slowly, his eyelashes still wet.

This made Lei Shun, who had been guarding by the bed, too scared to speak.

"The general is awake!"

"Tell the military doctor!"

After a while, the empty room was filled with people.

Lan Xizhu's eyes flicked across their faces one by one, and he was suddenly stunned.

These are all subordinates of his previous life.

Did they meet in heaven?

Before he could react, Lei Shun threw himself on his legs and cried loudly: "General, you finally woke up. If you have any troubles, Shunzi will go with you! Sly Beidi people , if their wolf claws dare to reach Nanheng again, I will definitely chop them all off!"

Beidi people?Haven't they been conquered by Qin Yang?

No, Lei Shun was already dead at this time.

So who is this tearful man in front of him?

Lanxizhu just felt that all this was too real, not like an illusion.

Is this going back to ten years ago?

His eyes were in a trance, and when he recalled carefully, wasn't the scene in front of him the same as when he returned from a victorious battle in Saibei when he was 19 years old?

He was attacked by Beidi people and almost shot through his left shoulder.After returning to Hengdu, he was poisoned by the spies hiding in the army and fell into a coma for several days before waking up.

Lanxizhu felt a little headache and rubbed his forehead gently.

The next moment, a loud announcement came from outside the door:

"General, Your Majesty has called you into the palace at this moment!"
