ghost city

Youlan walked into the inner room with the bowl, only to see the girl from the empire lying on the soft couch, her eyes closed, her face pale, and her whole body blurred like a phantom, she couldn't help being surprised: Could it be Miss Zi? Is it really as the outside world said, not a stranger?What happened between her and the son?How could this be the case now?

Although You Lan served the young master for three years, she didn't know what kind of person he was at all.Everyone in the city said that since the incident happened three years ago, Young Master Ling's character has become more and more stern and indifferent, and no one dared to mention that person again.They also often said that she looked like a person, could it be that person?

You won't have something to do with Miss Zi from the empire, right?But I and her are completely different.

She shook her head, determined not to think about it.

When she put the bowl on the table, she glanced inadvertently: Mr. Ling leaned against the couch, his head lowered slightly, as if he was reminiscing about the past, his expression was a little dazed and depressed, not at all as aggressive as before.Such a son made her feel very strange, and she vaguely felt that there had been a change in him.She didn't dare to look at him any more, and left quietly.

Young Master Ling stared at the girl's face, shaking his head constantly: It's not like, it's really not like.They don't look like each other, and their temperament is even less like.But how could these two women have the same memory?Could it be that she is really Xiaoyou! ?

The girl in front of her has a more graceful and beautiful face.That kind of beauty is bright and direct, as if with a compelling edge.Just like the red thorn flower covered with sharp thorns, it can only be seen from a distance, but not close.

A deep tiredness swept over his body, making him unable to resist.He was like a soldier who had been raiding in the desert for several days, exhausted and exhausted.His eyelids dropped heavily, and he sank into a dream in a trance.

It was the first time in three years that he fell asleep.

*************************

After closing his eyes, he didn't see that face as usual, but the more distant memory came rushing back.Even if such a profound past has been buried, it seems to have happened in the past when recalled.It was a sad past mixed with blood and tears, and it was his most miserable and helpless fate.

He, surnamed Ji, surnamed Wei, named Ling, was the fifth son of King Wei.

His mother was an unknown concubine with a humble background, so he was not loved by his father.

When he was born, the splendor of the glorious Wei Dynasty had gone forever, and the coveted Qin State coveted this fertile land all the time.

Thinking back to the period of Marquis Wen and Marquis Wu, what a proud edge the Great Wei possessed?It stood out first among the Seven Kingdoms and became the overlord of the Central Plains.The "Wei soldiers" trained by general Wu Qi were so fierce and sturdy that the people of Qin did not dare to go east for a while.Great Wei stood proudly in the Central Plains for a hundred years.

Who would have expected that in his generation, the state of Wei had already shown signs of decline, and there were signs of its collapse.

He was not reconciled, how could the Kingdom of Wei not be destroyed in the hands of this generation, even though the crown prince of the Kingdom of Wei was his elder brother Wei Chi, even though his father did not value him highly.But this is his country of Wei, and this piece of land belongs to the people of Wei.

He has always admired Lord Xinling, and at that time he took it as his mission to revive the Great Wei.But this caused his father's dissatisfaction.The father, who is naturally suspicious and suspicious, is most afraid of the brother's monopoly.When referring to Lord Xinling, it is often derogatory.And the eldest brother Wei Chi has a grudge against him, and always tries his best to exclude him.

He has different ambitions, and he doesn't want to get involved in the intrigue in the temple, so he simply asks to be the supervisor of the army and goes out with the soldiers.Several years of military career has indeed tempered his courage and will, and he was born and died on the battlefield, which made him realize the hardships of soldiers.He is strict with self-discipline, sympathetic to the soldiers, and is deeply loved by the soldiers.

The eldest brother Wei Chi saw that his strength was gradually expanding, and worried that his military power would be bad for him, so he persuaded his father to recall him.And not long after, Wei State suffered a defeat in the war with Qin State.After ceding the land to ask for peace, he was asked to be the proton for the elder brother.

During the five years when Qin was hostage, although his actions were limited, he always ordered his confidants to inquire about Qin's movements.In just two or three years, the state of Qin has destroyed Han and Zhao successively.This made him worry and indignant day and night, and he couldn't sleep or eat. He knew that Ying Zheng's next goal was Wei Guo.He can't sit back and watch his country fall, even if everything he does doesn't help, he still has to fight.

With the help of many circles and disciples, he finally fled back to Daliang before Qin State sent troops to Wei State.The majestic Daliang City is no longer glamorous, and it is desolate. Merchants and people have fled to avoid the disaster of war.However, the self-willed father, relying on the strong defenses of the big beams, turned a blind eye to the menacing Qin army, and only handed over all political affairs to Wei Chi, who was already the prime minister, while he played with his mastiff in the palace.

King Wei didn't care about his return, and even held a little hostility towards him.He even heard rumors that the fifth prince Wei Ling was a spy sent by Qin.When the Qin army was under pressure and the motherland was in trouble, he had no intention of defending himself. He just wanted to persuade his father and king to fight against the Qin army.

Lord Xinling once prophesied that if the Kingdom of Wei were to perish, it would be destroyed by floods.Daliang City is as solid as gold, so it is difficult to attack by force.At that time, the Qin army had already marched to the Xingyang River Valley, approaching the gap, and its intention could not be more obvious.He and the general persuaded his father several times to send troops to garrison the northern section of the divide, but his father turned a deaf ear to it.Prime Minister Zuo's corpse was also played several times, and his father allowed the general [-] troops to stop the Qin army's water attack.Reluctantly, he was ambushed, the whole army was wiped out, and the general died in battle.But the father still didn't care about this matter, and played with his pet dog day and night.Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Shi Cheng left angrily.

A few days later, the vast ocean finally swept Daliang City!

The vast white water surged like a catastrophic wave in the last days, swallowing all tyranny and noise.It flooded Tianchou, flooded villages, and flooded people's last luck and fantasy.He still remembers that day when his father, the officials and thousands of common people huddled on the battlements, watching the overwhelming flood of water pouring into the city in panic.Desperate cries were also drowned in the raging water.

Outside is the oppressive Qin soldiers and the torrential water, there is no way to escape, no way to retreat.Everyone can only wait for death in despair in the city.

And he just watched everything with cold eyes, everything he had expected.

One month...two months...the well water overflowed, the grain rotted, the bricks of the city fell off, the people had no food to eat, and one after another changed their sons to eat, and the city was a scene of the last days.There are strong enemies from outside, and people's grievances are raging inside.In order to shirk responsibility, his father and elder brother falsely accused him of being a spy of the Qin army, and they came up with the idea of ​​flooding the girders for the Qin army.

Hehe, being pushed to the extreme, he has nothing to say, not even the energy to be angry.With such a king, how can the Great Wei not perish, how not to perish!And he didn't want to see that day.

So, when the rioters flocked to his courtyard, he took one last look at Daliang City, looked at the flood flooding the palace wall, and with a sad and pitiful smile, he jumped into the surging river without hesitation.

The father was indeed a spineless king, and he left the city to surrender in the third month after the girder was flooded.

Great Wei---destroyed.Destroyed in the hands of a mediocre gentleman.

And he, in the end, was just a martyred prince with a stigma that no one could remember.
