When Cen Pojing and the others were saying something joking or sad, Chi Heng covered his mouth with a scarf, coughed a few times, and took it away. The scarf was soaked in purple blood. He raised his head and looked at the mirror. The black halo spreading from the center of the brows had already reached the center of the person, and he knew that it would soon cover the entire face.

Is the black halo invisible to others fate?

Chi Heng coughed intermittently, recalling the witch doctor a year ago, he said strangely: One life for another, would you like it?

If Rong Yue can survive, I am willing.

Believe it or not, Rong Yue survived; and Chi Heng also had to face his choice calmly.When a black halo appeared between his brows one day, Chi Heng knew that the time for struggling was running out.The witch doctor said that Rong Yue's pain will also be borne by him.

Tossing and turning day and night, the pain around the waist was like a fire, verifying the words of the witch doctor.

Regret?

Chi Heng looked at the person in the mirror, it was a strange self.

When the secret news that Chi Heng was going to pass the throne to Zhong Xu came out for the first time, everyone was shocked, but Chi Heng denied it. After a while, everyone fell silent; When the words were written, there was an uproar. After the four princes fought vigorously, openly or secretly, it subsided for a long time.Of course, everyone has eyes and ears, even if Chi Heng didn't really say it, what he did is more and more confirmed the rumors.

The exact information was spread from Cen Pojing's mouth, and the ministers no longer reacted as strongly as they did at the beginning. Apart from persuasion, everyone was most concerned about who would be the successor.

All kinds of chaotic rumors spread again.

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looked up.

Chi Heng returned with all his ministers offering sacrifices to heaven, and before he could take a breath, he announced in public that he would formally abdicate.

Afterwards, he had long talks with Mei Yuanbai, Wu Chen, Yan Jingtong, Zhong Xu and others.

Especially Yan Jingtong, this young man was still a bit jerky in Chi Heng's eyes, watching the young man talk about his ambitions with a high expression, and when he talked about the future of the Yan family, he dealt with it cautiously, fearing that a careless word would cause disaster, Chi Heng Heng felt a little sad.

Chi Heng didn't mention the throne, but Yan Jingtong himself suggested that the sons of the Yan family who had already entered the official position begged to be transferred to other places so that they could make another big show, and he himself did the same.Yan Jingtong said it sincerely, Chi Heng thought, this is a wise person who knows how to advance and retreat, can bend and stretch, and can see the overall situation clearly and make the most appropriate sacrifices to seek long-term development.If I don't abdicate, the Yan family and the Mei family, no doubt, the Yan family can last longer.

After that, Chi Heng frequently called these four people to meet.

The matter has come to this point, there is no need to say more, everyone can already see that Chi Heng prefers one of these four people.

These four people were involved in a state that I didn't expect, not to mention another ups and downs in the court.However, Chi Heng's attitude became clearer and clearer, and the rumors became true.

All of this is under Chi Heng's control.

Seeing the performance of the four young people in the storm, Chi Heng became more and more sure of his choice.

On the eighth day of February, the air of spring is warm.

Chi Heng fell asleep very early. In his dream, he walked a long, long way.

At first, both sides of the road were full of vetch flowers, and the purple ones were very beautiful. This is the scenery in the suburbs of Yizhou, and Chi Heng was very happy;

The countryside turned into a city, full of devastation, many soldiers holding long guns back and forth, the familiar blue bricks, green tiles, and high walls are the general's mansion in Yuanzhou City. Sorrow is not nostalgia, a kind of sadness that knows it can't go back;

Then, the road became deep and complicated, and it was impossible to tell where it was. It seemed to be a mixture of many roads. Sometimes there were horse-drawn carriages passing by on the road, not in a hurry.Standing by the side of the road, Chi Heng remembered an old incident.Once, he was almost eaten by a tiger, and then three scholars were killed—this is a mystery: the scholars were not killed by him, nor by Yan Xing, where did they come from, where did they go, Has anyone paid homage to them, has anyone looked for them from thousands of miles away? These are the memories of him and Yan Xing. Yan Xing has gone, and he has never told anyone. From now on, these will become eternal mysteries, unsolvable mysteries.Chi Heng thought: The answer to the riddle is not that important, it would be great if we could meet Yan Xing again.

It was getting dark, and Chi Heng couldn't walk.It was very dark, as if he was blind. After a short period of panic, he groped forward. While walking, he smelled a strong fragrance, which was the fragrance of flowers, and it was the fragrance of incense that dyed his clothes.Whoever tirelessly plants flowers for him, whoever is so enthusiastic, hugs are always like being burned.For those who yearn for it, the care of being deceived is also beautiful.Only after having tasted the pain of thirst in the desert can we understand the desire to quench thirst by drinking poison.

Chi Heng smelled the smell of blood, he stepped on something hard, he couldn't see it, but he knew it was human bones, many human bones paved his way.

Gradually, it became clear.

His eyes are also clear, it is the corner of the eaves that evokes the rising sun, and the capital is like a brocade, like a poem, like a painting.There was no one, but Chi Heng felt that many people walked past him and stopped, and the warm hands calmed his heart like the wind.His lips softened, as if someone had kissed, once, again, the familiar kiss, sweet, sweet as honey, honey in the heart, like sweet spring, Chi Heng stretched out his hand and grabbed the void with a smile, nothing Clingy, yet warm and comfortable.

A gust of wind swept over, and the dust transformed into a familiar appearance.

It's a witch doctor, a witch doctor I've only seen once.

"Chi Heng, you are the emperor, you shouldn't have died so early. Look, you have suffered so much before, and it's time to enjoy it. Now that everyone respects you and everyone regards you as a god, you are still willing to go dead?"

Chi Heng shook his head.

The witch doctor smiled with satisfaction: "The torment of death is very painful, you can take back the deal with me."

Chi Heng pondered for a moment and replied, "There is one more place I haven't been to."

The witch doctor tilted his head: "Is there?"

"The small town of Gangming in Ningzhou."

The witch doctor suddenly realized: "It's him, are you afraid of letting him down? Life and death are fate, and he will die because it is his fate, and exchanging life for life is against the sky! That's right, once you go back, you will let it go, and you will die." Give you a chance to settle it, and you won't feel guilty again."

After just a stretch, Chi Heng walked to the mountains at the end of February and the beginning of March. The river had already risen up, cheering loudly and slapping on both sides of the river.Chi Heng scanned every place intently, his heart became very light.

He took off his clothes and submerged in the water, and the water rushed.

The white stone was still there, without the man at that time, just closing his eyes, the gorgeous dragon pattern seemed to jump out of the water.Chi Heng opened his eyes, but it was the witch doctor sitting there, looking at Chi Heng, the two looked at each other quietly, Chi Heng smiled: "It's exactly the same as I remember."

"You can't bear to let him die."

"Yeah, he is the one I put the most effort into, it has nothing to do with love."

The witch doctor nodded: "I understand. It's like a puppy. You smooth its fur, catch lice, and wash its face. You worry that it will be bullied by other puppies, and you are afraid that it will bully others too much." Ruthless, I still care about whether it breeds on time... Cough, the words are not rough, if it is gone like this, how can you be willing to part with it." The witch doctor grinned, different from his vicissitudes of life, there was a sly innocence.

Chi Heng smiled easily: "That's not true, how can I be willing."

"But this is his fate. Take back the deal between you and me, follow fate, follow fate. Although you have unified Yuanxi, how many people are still living in dire straits, countless people, they are waiting for the peace and prosperity you give Woolen cloth."

Chi Heng was disappointed, and whispered for a long time: "Is it his fate?"

The witch doctor breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes! We can only stop here! But what's the matter, he has a great reputation, and he has no regrets in his death. There is a person who is writing a biography for you. In the biography, he is even more flying, more vivid, He is more brave like a god of war—and he is forever young. In time, you will be an emperor who has been passed down through the ages, with merits and demerits; but he is a bright moon and white horse, the person who is the most enamored and eager to be married among thousands of women, and he will even become like A god like Yuelao, countless girls would secretly run to his statue to seek good fortune, hoping that their future sweetheart will be like him."

"Would it? But he doesn't even have a good relationship himself!"

The witch doctor disagreed: "But he is handsome, brave and has made countless achievements. People's fantasies are always based on this. The younger you are, the more important these are. So, you don't need to feel guilty or heartbroken. You still have Many people need to protect and love! And he will become a god-like person, and the ending will be very good."

Chi Heng smiled: "Really?"

The witch doctor spread his hands and said jokingly: "Who made the person who wrote the biography the one who admired him? You can't help but fall in love with him just by reading the writing—history is always tampered with by the person who writes it. You are not as lucky as him." Woolen cloth."

"No matter how good the words are, he deserves them."

"Have you figured it out? Take back the original deal!" The witch doctor breathed a sigh of relief, "Your life is your life, and his life is his life. Do your best and obey the destiny. He has such a happy ending, you should replace him." He was delighted."

Chi Heng stared at the witch doctor and slowly shook his head: "No."

The witch doctor's smile stiffened.

For a long time, the surrounding area was empty, the sky was clear, and a flock of birds chirped and flew by.With a soft sigh, the big river fell downwards, and the overwhelming water rushed towards Chi Heng.

On the ninth day of February, Chi Heng once again summoned Yan Jingtong into the palace and officially stated that he wanted to pass on to him.

Yan Jingtong was dumbfounded, like a dream.

After the rumors arose, he naturally expected too much, but he always thought that he was just a foil, and the final person would be Zhong Xu, so he was astonished.Afterwards, Chi Heng had a long talk with him for a day, half the day talking about state affairs, and the other half day, he talked about Ji Ce, Luo Jinghan, Shi Wei and others, and Zhong Xu...

Since then, Yan Jingtong often recalled this day.

I thought it was a dream, the same face in the dream, but two different people.In the first half of the day, it was a supreme emperor. The emperor just glanced at him casually, as if he wanted to see into people's hearts, leaving Yan Jingtong nowhere to hide, and he admired him immensely.Yan Jingtong thought that the people he admired since he was a child are like this, they are indistinguishable, every move of his hand and every gesture is looked up to, and in this life, he is following, surpassing, and climbing relentlessly, just to be with this people walk side by side.

However, Yan Jingtong also couldn't help it. He would think of the spring sunset, with a pair of melancholy eyes calmly narrating expectations, and this expectation is nothing more than a lifetime of worry-free and peaceful life.

Until several years later, Yan Jingtong stroked the long hair of the person next to his pillow.

It was so quiet that only the chirping of spring insects could be heard.

The warm aroma of peach blossoms and plum blossoms in spring swept over, and the person sleeping next to the pillow wrinkled his nose impatiently, murmured, but stretched out his hand, covering Yan Jingtong's fingers with his palm.The warmth spread in his palm, and Yan Jingtong felt a kind of happiness in his heart. At this moment, it was extremely quiet. He longed for this moment to become eternity, eternity, and stop at this moment.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled those eyes, which were so deep and so affectionate that it was heartbreaking.

Yan Jingtong had heard countless things about him.

The people he is infatuated with, the people who are infatuated with him, cannot be counted on one hand.Yes, if there is such a pair of eyes, who would not be upset?Even if he is the person I admire the most, the person I am most jealous of, and the person who has been trying to erase the imprint of existence all my life, so what, I am not also at the moment when I look at each other, my heart is instantly crushed and immersed in it, Inextricable.

Yan Jingtong leaned over and kissed the person beside the pillow.

On February [-]th, everything is suitable.

Chi Heng announced to the world: Emperor Chuan is located in Yan Jingtong.
