What about Mr. Faint?

"...Army! General, Your Majesty forbids anyone to approach the Royal Garden, please don't embarrass your servant." The father-in-law's sharp voice gradually approached, and the butterfly on the chessboard shook its wings, as if disturbed by the sound. It opened a gorgeous fan, and drew lines that fluctuated high and low in the air.

Watching the butterfly resting on the chessboard spread its wings and take off, watching it disappear into the flowers and disappear, the arm that had been raised all the time fell down, the chess piece that was deadlocked in mid-air finally had a foothold, and it was cut on the position where the butterfly stayed on the chessboard.The gate of the imperial garden was kicked open, and the wind from the north was oncoming. *1

The wind is rough and bold, fast and powerful.You can hear the vastness of the desert and feel the bitterness of winter snow.

Compared to the man in black and black armor whom he met for the first time a few years ago, he seemed to be a bit more mature.If I could read something from his eyes a few years ago, what I see now is darkness.It looks like the deepest night, and it also looks like the inkstone that Ah Gu has been grinding for a long time.

He was a little darker, and his facial features were a bit more vicissitudes than when he first saw him.Looking at the general coming towards me, I was in a good mood. I grabbed a jade chess piece from the chess box, held it between my fingertips and felt its cold temperature, raised my head and smiled at the visitor: "Long time no see, General But……"

Snapped--

His eyes suddenly turned to the left, Yu Guangli's father-in-law and the people behind him knelt down with a panicked expression, as if I would cut off their heads in a second.But what are they afraid of? If they really want to cut it off, they have to cut off the guy in front of me who makes my right cheek burn and hurt: "After my mother passed away——"

"——The general is the first one~" He turned his neck back to the straight position, his vision was hazy because of his squinting and smiling movements.It's just that the movement of laughing was too big, and it accidentally affected the numbness on his face, which caused another burst of piercing pain.

The general stood in front of me and looked down at me, his face was very cold, even with killing intent.

It's great to have the killing intent like the former emperor.

"You're welcome, general." Smiling, he looked up at the general. The general was really tall, so tall that he couldn't see his expression clearly even if he stretched his neck.The general is different from those boring chess pieces, they all have faces that cannot be seen clearly. Compared with those lowly and muddy guys, the general is like... the sun.

He is the third person I look up to, the former emperor is one, A Gu is one, and he is the third.

Long time no see, the general's voice is not as clear as it used to be: "What are you laughing at?"

"Isn't it a good thing to see the general?" There was a big smile on his face, "It is said that not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. I haven't seen the general for many years. Isn't it a good thing to meet now?" What? If the general is willing to wait, I will ask the imperial dining room to prepare the food and drinks..."

"Do you know the floods in the south this year?"

The general interrupted me: "I know!"

"Flood floods caused river embankments to collapse, leaving people without a place to live. Did you know that?"

But not angry at all: "I don't know!"

"Do you know how to stabilize the people who have left their homes and lost their homes?"

Because the next day will depend on him: "I don't know!"

"Do you know what the refugees who go far away from home and have no food and clothing will do?"

Just think like this: "I don't know!"

"Do you know how the Seven Kingdoms were divided back then?"

The smile on his face unconsciously hung on: "No... Ah, I know this!" Thousands of years ago, there was only one country in this land, called Qing, which was taken from Qingping in the world.However, after the Qing Dynasty lasted for thousands of years, it still did not escape the fate of falling. It was divided into seven princes, and then split into small countries, and then there were nine kingdoms.

Then the Tai Ozu Xingjing, annexed the nine kingdoms and there is today's Jing Dynasty.

The general stood there, looking down at me.His figure is tall and strong. At this moment, he is standing with his back to the sun, facing me, blocking all the sunlight: "I thought that His Majesty is like a newborn child who doesn't know anything."

"Didn't I know about the floods in the south?" The scene just now seemed to be reversed suddenly, and it became that I was asking the general.

"Your Majesty knows what a flood is..." Against the light, the general's expression was unpredictable.

"Of course I know."

"Your Majesty also knows what it means to not have enough to eat and not to be clothed..."

"Of course I know."

"Then I dare to ask Your Majesty, has His Majesty's conscience been eaten by me?"

……

After a short silence, I smiled and said to him: "Is conscience delicious?"

"Your Majesty is asking me, is conscience delicious?" The general looked down at me and laughed.It is rare to see the general laughing. Most of the time, he has a serious face, and his speech is as regular as a ruler.It's the first time I've seen the general smile so recklessly, but goose bumps all over his body.

The general grabbed Zhen's collar, and the moment the world spun, it was bone-piercingly cold.

Cold, bone-piercing cold, cold that seeps into the bone marrow.

It was like returning to that winter day again, when the queen mother knelt in front of her father, like a cuckoo weeping blood, howling and crying, but failed to restore the man's betrayal.It's like the father who walks back in sight in winter, the door that is slowly closing tightly, the black-clothed Xuanjia standing at the door, and the courtyard that can never be walked out.

so cold……

again and again.

so lonely……

again and again.

The queen mother who was taken away, the companion who was taken away, the crown which was taken away, the fine clothes and food which were taken away, the arrogance and arrogance which was taken away, the doting and favor which were taken away.That winter day took away too many things, but what it brought back was the square sky that could be held back with one hand, and the old house with four windows, one door and six pillars.

There are many hands stretched out from under the feet, immature, old, slender, and rough. They stretch out to the ankles and then pull them down.I vaguely heard a woman singing, her voice was gentle and comfortable, with a pleasant ending.But that couldn't drive away the chill emanating from his bones, as well as the sweeping memories.

Then what?

After countless cold winters, a head poked out from the dilapidated wall and asked against the light, "Who are you?"

What does that person look like...

He has black and beautiful hair, with a small braid on the top of his head...

With the clearest eyes in the world, when he looks at you, you are the only one in the whole world...

There are no scars on his face, no broken wounds and rough calluses on his hands, his hands are like silk...

With the sweetest and purest smile in the world...

He was wearing luxurious clothes, like the faded golden yellow in his memory...

That is……

Who was pulling the palm, that hand was hot and powerful, like a ray of light in the dark, breaking those hands that were wailing and sinking downwards, and pulling them upwards.Those upward palms worked so hard, but they still couldn't keep them.The temperature followed that powerful hand, like ink droplets dripping from clear water, spreading throughout the body bit by bit.

The back that was slammed, the liquid spit out, the air rushing into the lungs, the cheeks that were more swollen and painful, and the general squatting on one side: "Your Majesty now knows what despair is."

The general's tone was calm, as if he had thrown me into the pool, and he wasn't the one who put his hand into the water: "Your Majesty now knows what a flood is." The red silk in it.

He cried?

No...that's angry rage...

Having done such a rebellious thing, even trying to murder the emperor, the general is still so unshakable and indifferent.He knelt on one knee beside me, looked at me with dark eyes, then raised his hand to stroke my right cheek.

It's very strange, the general's hand is obviously rough, but when his warm palm is pressed against it, the swollen and painful cheek is no longer so unbearable as tearing, but a little itchy: "Your Majesty," the general said sincerely , "If I don't save you today, you will die in this pool."

"You can let me die." The general's words are really interesting, so I don't hesitate to smile.He just looked at the young man whose face was being held in his dark eyes, and saw his hair sticking to his face in embarrassment, covering the scar on his left face and his eyes.

"But after all, it's you, and it's different from my minister." The general's tone was complicated. "To my minister, you are like the family members of those innocent people who died in vain, like the relatives of those courtiers who died innocently."

"Your Majesty, do you know about the rebellion of the people in the south?"

* The feeling that the general gave the little emperor is like the wind in the north described in the book

* During the question and answer, the little emperor smiled all over his face.It feels like you are very angry, but the person who made you angry is smiling, looking at you with connivance, and the feeling of punching the cotton with a punch is powerless.

*The summary of this chapter is that the general was very angry, so he looked at the heartless little emperor, first slapped the disobedient and irresponsible brat like an elder, and then watched the unconscious little emperor throw him into the In the pond, I tasted the pain of the people who drowned in the floods in the south.

*The little emperor is special and unique to the general.

*Then the question is, when the little emperor was thrown into the pool by the general and almost drowned, who was the child he saw?
