On the day Jun Huailang died, it rained overnight in Chang'an.
By noon, deep puddles had accumulated on the bluestone ground, but the rain had not stopped.
The cold rain wrapped the autumn wind and hit straight down.
Three hundred and fifty-six people from the Jun family's family were all kneeling outside Xuanwu Gate, and they wanted to be executed on this day.
Jun Huailang's clothes were all wet, his lips were white, and he knelt at the top of the execution ground. The cold rain fell on his face, and he didn't seem to realize it, and his ears were filled with the cries of the female family members and the arguments of the people onlookers.
He didn't have to hear it, he knew what they were talking about.
The Jun family is the founding father of Dayong. The ancestors of the Jun family followed Dayong Taizu to fight in the east and west two hundred years ago. After the founding of the country, he was named Duke Yongning and inherited the title from generation to generation.
Taizu was suspicious. Most of the heroes of the founding of the country did not have a good death. Only the king's family has been honored for more than 200 years, until today.
Jun's family is full of beheadings, which is impossible in any dynasty or generation. But it's not surprising that it happened today.
After all, since a month ago, when the king of Yunnan rebelled and invaded Chang'an, Dayong was completely disturbed by one person.
This person is not a rebel rebel, but the Qin King Xue Yan who killed the rebel.
When the king of Yunnan raised his army, he was in the north against the invading Turks. In just over a month, he easily defeated the 200,000-strong Turkic army and recaptured the Yandi that had been occupied for many years.
After defeating the Turks, he immediately commanded his troops to the south and arrived just in time when the army of the King of Yunnan was besieging Chang'an. The king of Yunnan, who had been invincible for several months, was easily killed by his iron cavalry, and the king of Yunnan, who had stepped on the throne half a step, was also cut off by his sword and hung on the Xuanwu Gate. forward.
The blood on the neck of the King of Yunnan stained the blue bricks of Xuanwumen. Everyone thought that Chang'an would restore peace, but they didn't expect that from this day, Chang'an would no longer be peaceful.
Qin King Xue Yan killed the Queen of Yunnan, and then he waved his division into the imperial city and stabbed the emperor to death on the dragon chair.
Immediately after, he killed all his brothers, only the eighth prince, who was only three years old, was wrapped in a dragon robe and pushed to the throne, and he became the regent who held the power on his behalf.
When the government and the opposition were shaken, naturally many officials, either because he killed his father and murdered the monarch, or because his interests were damaged, stood up against him one after another, trying to use the code system and the ancestral etiquette to drive this unjustified ruler down.
They obviously didn't know much about Xue Yan.
So, his blade pointed from the palace to the court. The first emperor was killed, and the new emperor was young. With just one look in his eyes and a word, countless court officials were caught off guard by the factory guards from their homes. Without even a conviction, they were sent to Xuanwumen for execution.
For a month, the court was bloodbathed, and no one dared to speak out against him again.
However, the tyrannical Prince Regent suddenly ordered that Jun's family, who had not provoked him at all, be raided.
He was also the person Jun Huailang was most worried about.
His father was convicted and killed a few years ago, and his mother followed within a few days. His younger brother Jun Xiaowu died a month ago to defend against the invasion of the King of Yunnan and led the army to guard Chang'an. Jun Huailang's closest relative is the only one left.
His sister Jun Linghuan.
When the King of Yunnan rebelled, it coincided with the invasion of the northern Turks, the former emperor fell ill again, and the court was worried about internal and external troubles. Qin Tianjian invited a Taoist who came from nowhere to do a calculation for the court, saying that Dayong was in danger, and only the daughters of the Jun family could control the Sheji.
At that time, Aunt Jun Huailang, who originally entered the palace as a concubine, had passed away a year ago. In the entire Jun family, Jun Linghuan was the only woman to be married.
At that time, she was only fourteen, not yet reaching the age of 笄.
Jun Huailang naturally resisted the decree with all his might, and advised the late emperor to die. He is not only the hereditary Duke of Yongning, but also Tanhualang, a new noble in the court that the late emperor highly relied on. The late emperor had no choice but to promise him that Jun Linghuan would sit in the empty seat of the queen, never touch her, and let her go home and marry her when the court was stable.
Having said that, who would dare to marry a woman who had married an emperor
But Jun Huailang knew that this was the best outcome. He hated that he couldn't protect his sister, and he couldn't sleep day and night for three months. Unexpectedly, it was the absurd will of the late emperor that finally saved his sister's life.
But when he thought of the regent who wanted to destroy the entire family of Jun, Jun Huailang felt cold.
He had met the Regent once.
It was when he was unable to kneel in front of the Yonghe Palace for the imperial decree of Jun Linghuan. At that time, Xue Yan was about to lead the army and came to bid farewell to the late emperor. He was wearing heavy black armor, and his tall and tall figure was walking in the solemn and gorgeous palace. His scarlet cloak was spotless.
Jun Huailang looked up.
It was also at this moment that Xue Yan casually glanced down at Jun Huailang.
Xue Yan was born very well.
His biological mother was a beautiful woman who was sent by the Turks to marry him back then, and he also had half the blood of the barbarians. His eyebrows and eyes are a bit deeper than ordinary Han people, his straight nose bridge is like a sharp blade unsheathed, his face is sharp and deep, and his eyes under the thick eyelashes are a light amber color.
It seemed that his gloomy and cold eyes were stained with a bit of blood.
With just one glance, Jun Huailang felt cold all over his body.
Jun Huailang was not at all surprised that such a dangerous and tyrannical person would be killed and killed by his own feelings. He also knew that the more honorable and honorable members of the Jun family were, the more they stood on the cusp of the storm. It is not uncommon for the new rulers to kill such a large family and establish their prestige if they are not in a stable position.
But when he died, Jun Linghuan's last relative was gone. She is now alone in the palace, the new emperor is young, she has become the queen mother again, and it is inevitable that she will face the regent dynasty.
Jun Huailang raised his head, and in the gray sky, thousands of cold rains fell.
She was not yet fifteen years old. Jun Huailang thought to himself.
At this moment, Jian Zhanguan issued an order for execution. The sound of the rain is not very real, but the executioner's knife has been raised high, the raindrops smashed on the sharp blade, and a bright white silver light streaks down, as if cutting a gap in the endless gray fog, Suddenly there was light.
Hot blood fell into the icy rain.
—
The sound of the rain seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, far away in the sky, as if it were not there.
Jun Huailang opened his eyes and saw that he was in an endless void. There was nothing around him, except the rainwater on him, dripping down in embarrassment.
Could it be that this is the world after people die
Jun Huailang looked around.
At this moment, there was a slight noise from his feet.
He lowered his head and saw a strangely bound book at his feet. The cold rain dripped from his robe and landed on the cover of the book.
"The Seven Nights of the Evil Regent's Abuse of Pets".
The handwriting on this cover is a bit strange, it is clearly Chinese characters, but many strokes are missing. Jun Huailang barely discerned the contents of the cover, then leaned down and picked up the book.
He turned to the first page of the book.
Immediately afterwards, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his fingers tightened unconsciously.
From the third-person perspective of this book, the protagonist is Jun Linghuan.
At the beginning of the book, it was the day when the whole family of Jun's family was beheaded. He struggled to read the strange words that lacked strokes, and read Jun Linghuan in the book, who was alone under house arrest in the resplendent Queen Mother's dormitory, sobbing and trembling against the pouring autumn rain outside the window.
Although separated by the text, it evoked the familiarity of Jun Huailang and his sister's blood connection.
The veins on the back of Jun Huailang's hand were looming.
There is only one daughter in his family, Jun Linghuan. He has been raised by the whole family since he was a child. Even if the Jun family was defeated, Jun Linghuan was well protected by him. The biggest grievance he suffered was being a nominal queen. .
Just thinking that no one can protect her since then, Jun Huailang's heart aches.
The palace is surrounded by wolves. She is a little girl who is just about to reach her hair, and she is alone. How can she survive
His hands were shaking, and he couldn't help turning the book back.
He thought to himself that it must be the immortals who favored him. Knowing that he was the only one in the mortal world who could not be relieved, he gave him this strange book and let him see what his sister would do in the future, so that he could feel at ease.
But then, Jun Huailang's expression stiffened on his face.
He saw a name that, although unfamiliar, was deeply etched in his mind.
Xue Yan.
On the second page, he saw Xue Yan striding into his sister's bedroom with eyes like thousand-year-old ice, pinching her sister's chin mercilessly, forcing her hoarse cry to look outside.
"Xuanwumen is over there." Xue Yan's lips curled into a cold arc. "Just after noon, your brother must have died."
In the rain curtain, Jun Linghuan could only see the many palace towers with red walls and green tiles.
Her eyes were full of despair, and tears kept falling.
Jun Huailang's icy fingertips trembled with anger, and pinched the pages of the book.
And no matter how precious his sister is now, he, Xue Yan, will call her a mother no matter how powerful he is. Just saying that he is dead, even if Xue Yan has any deep hatred with the Jun family, it will be written off. The little girl of chicken power!
This Xue Yan is not a person at all!
Jun Huailang had been taught to be gentle and polite since he was a child, and he couldn't help gnashing his teeth at this time, scolding Xue Yan upside down with the few swear words he knew.
Inhuman, inhuman!
Then, he couldn't even scold it.
He watched helplessly at what happened afterward.
Xue Yan's arrogant child, ignoring Lunchang, just pressed his sister on the couch, headed in the direction of Xuanwumen, and severely violated her.
... while infringing, and coldly calling her queen mother.
Jun Huailang's flat nails were embedded in the pages of the book.
In the book, Xue Yan seems to have some unexplainable personal grudge with his sister. He only said a few words that his sister should not have given him charities like pity for stray dogs, and then betrayed him.
He turned back and found a thick book. Most of the complex was that Xue Yan's beast had humiliated his sister upside down. Seeing that Jun Huailang's eyes were red, he could not wait to turn into a ghost to kill the beast. What made him even more desperate was that at two-thirds of the way, his sister actually became attached to this beast, hated him, feared him, but couldn't live without him.
In the end, Xue Yan actually married her as the queen, letting the world talk and laugh at her, and let her sister and him be infamous in the history books for thousands of years.
Jun Huailang's hands trembled, his teeth trembling.
Jun Huailang couldn't control his hand, and the heavy book landed at his feet with a bang.
That beast... that beast!
When I saw it in the corridor of Yonghe Palace, I should have pulled out that beastly sword and stabbed him to death!
At this moment, a voice came from the void.
"Huh? What sound?"
Immediately afterwards, the voice of an immortal sounded above Jun Huailang's head.
"Black and white are impermanent, why are you so careless? Why did the dead souls that should be taken away at noon appear here?"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of messy and anxious footsteps came, and there were two people explaining it.
"Fu Jun, calm down! It's really the Seven Killing Stars that have come into the world. There are too many dead souls these days. The two of us are really busy, and we accidentally missed one..."
In an instant, an irresistible force pulled Jun Huailang's soul out.
He didn't care about this, just stared at the book on the ground.
Xue Yan... hello Xue Yan! As long as my lord, Huailang, survives, I will pay you back a hundredfold for what you have done!
Jun Huailang was pulled by that force and disappeared into the void.
Then, the immortal known as Fu Jun walked out slowly and checked around.
"Huh?" He made a suspicious voice.
He picked up the book.
"What's the matter, why did the fanfic book that Mingge Xingjun wrote in his leisure time, why was it left here?"
On the other side, Black and White Impermanence made another chaotic sound.
"Hey! Wrong! You've drawn your soul in the wrong direction!"
