The moonlight was floating, a cloud of cloud invaded the ice wheel, the night wind suddenly picked up, and the broken window paper rustled and shook.
Suddenly, a cold wind broke in through the window, shaking the old veils in all directions. On the bed, Li Yuanmin clutched the quilt tightly in his sleep, with cold sweat overflowing from his forehead.
Suddenly, Li Yuanmin fell into a sea of corpses and blood.
The eyes are bloody and dark red, and the ups and downs are all hills piled up with head and limbs. The thick blood gathers into a river, and the bottom is wet.
A thick, disgusting stench in the air.
In the distance, a gigantic beast roared, raised its front legs high, and instantly crushed the besieging crowd in front of it. With a puff, blood splashed half a person's height.
A tremor that shook the world came from under his feet, and the giant beast moved forward step by step in his direction.
There was an endless stream of besiegers, and they went forward to kill the giant beast, vowing to die, but the strength of the two sides was too great. Those people were no different from ants in front of the giant beast, and they were trampled into flesh in an instant.
"No..." Li Yuanmin could only make a weak breath.
He couldn't move, he could only watch helplessly as the giant beast was getting closer and closer, and the huge bloody air wave brought him engulfed him.
He could barely stand, opened his eyes with difficulty, and suddenly saw the densely packed arrows all over the body of the giant beast. It turned out that the dark color on its body was arrow feathers, one layer was filled, and there were countless arrows It was inserted into the gap again, layer after layer, continuously.
The giant beast roared anxiously to the sky, splashing more waves of blood.
The fighting is endless.
"No..." he cried.
The giant beast finally fell in front of him, and Ru Shangao's body pressed against him, but Li Yuanmin was strangely not afraid, but sad, inexplicably sad.
A huge force engulfed him, enclosing him into a warm and peaceful world. The giant beast whimpered, blood gushed out of its mouth, and its dark pupils were semi-dark.
Li Yuanmin walked in, leaning his forehead on the wet nose, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm not afraid anymore." Li Yuanmin rubbed against him, choked up, "...I'm not afraid anymore."
All the sounds of killing gradually subsided, and the surrounding bloody smell suddenly dissipated like thick fog. In this sea of corpses and blood, Li Yuanmin snuggled up with the dying giant beast.
"I'm not afraid anymore."
Li Yuanmin murmured.
Even in a dream, you can feel the heat on it.
The night wind gradually subsided, and when the ice wheel came out of the dark clouds, the silver poured down on the ground, and the West Hall fell into a moment of silence.
Li Yuanmin's brows gradually eased, and a teardrop slipped from the end of his eyes, slowly drying up in his jet-black hair.
***
The day of the autumn election was a fine day. The heavy snow fell for three consecutive days, and the sky cleared up. The sky above the imperial city was blue and cloudless, and it was as vast as a calm and waveless sea.
After many years, Li Yuanmin will still remember that day.
That was the difference in his fate. He made a decision that was completely opposite to his previous life. From then on, his fate began to reverse, but at that time he didn't know where he was going, but he was afraid and persisted.
He is like an old man moving forward in the mud, with a bright future, but no retreat. Behind him is a dark abyss staring at him, as if waiting to swallow him at any time. Only by moving forward can he get rid of the fear of being stared at .
In the Zhongcui Palace, Wang Guifei, who got up late, was still dressing in the inner hall, and the three princes were waiting in the outer hall.
Li Yuanlang and Li Yuanmin sat at the bottom of the hall. The fourth prince Li Yuanxu, who hadn't shown up for more than a month, was sitting on the front seat. He had already changed into a grand python robe, and was leaning against the pillow, throwing a few fennel into his mouth from time to time. Didou looked bored.
He has been guarded in the side hall for the past few days and reads the five families. He has long been tired of being locked up. The concubine Wang Guifei only released his ban last night. There will be a tough battle today, and he can't make a fool of himself. Read this There was a sudden pain in his forehead.
The hour shown on the inscription was already in the middle of the hour. Qing He led the maids in and refilled the tea for the third time.
"The concubine mother has not yet settled?" Li Yuanxu was quite impatient.
Qing He blessed her body, and said: "Your Majesty, these Japanese people feel that their sleep is out of balance. For today's autumn election, they have thought a lot. After all, they are tired. It is too late to get up today."
After hearing this, Li Yuanlang seemed to be emotional, and sighed: "Mother and concubine have really worked hard."
Li Yuanxu waved his hand, nonchalantly: "Mother concubine is thinking too much, uncle has already said, that old fox Sima Ji has always been at odds with Mr. Zuoxiang, how could he let his son become the servant of Huangmen, brother of the emperor? Could it be that there is a better choice than my Highness?"
Li Yuen Long said yes with a smile.
Glanced at Li Yuanmin beside him from the corner of the eye, the other party was still in that unpopular posture, with his hands hanging by his sides, his chin lowered, and he looked like a mermaid—he should be like this, and he should be like this, but However, Li Yuanlang knew that this was definitely not the case under this weak skin.
What happened in the corridor that day has become a serious illness in his heart, so that every time he thinks about it late at night, he will inevitably be frightened.
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
What makes him even more afraid is that in just a few months, he actually won the concubine Wang Guifei who once regarded him as a dog. These days, he has become a distinguished guest of Zhongcui Palace, and his status has even faintly surpassed him. And the sign of the ups and downs tells him how to rest his pillow. But he just didn't know how all this happened, and more importantly - what this bitch wanted to do.
There was a dark surge in his eyes, and he looked at Li Yuanmin calmly for a while, but the other party still didn't respond at all, sitting quietly on the chair like a petrified puppet.
Can't help narrowing his eyes slightly, thinking of some calculations, then turned his head away, and smiled warmly at Li Yuanxu who was at the head:
"I haven't seen my fourth brother for many days, but I have lost a lot of weight. I must have improved my homework these days."
It's okay not to say it, but when Li Yuanxu said it, he clicked his tongue in disgust.
"Second brother, maybe you don't know that I've always been tired of those people, and I can't talk about the benefits, but the hall has been tossed and broken in the past few days." Li Yuanxu's eyes darkened, with a bit of a hint of an unpleasant memory. Resentment, "Cao Gang's old man is the most pedantic and stubborn. In the past few days, he almost peeled off a layer of my skin. It's really annoying. It's hard to bear him for a while-it's not a gentleman if you don't take revenge. In the future, I will We must teach him to understand the fate of offending this prince!"
If you know Li Yuanxu's character, you will know that these words are not just words.
Li Yuanmin was in a trance for a moment, settled his figure, and clung to the handrail.
Cao Gang, the military commander of the Red Tiger Army, is now just a depressed bachelor of the Taiyuan Academy. In the last life, he was relegated to white body for offending the fourth prince because of his strong personality. Later, he was inspired by Yan Lie and served in the military camp. One of the two is brave, the other is good at planning and making decisions, and they are in the midst of the situation. The Red Tiger Army was originally no more than 5,000 city guards in the borderlands. In just a few years, it has developed into a sky-splitting sword that subverts the world.
It turns out that everything is karma.
Li Yuanlang has followed Li Yuanxu since he was a child, and he knows his temper clearly, so he naturally followed his words:
"Parents love their sons, they have far-reaching plans. The mother and concubine love their sons sincerely. It is also because of Cao Xueshi's reputation as a talented scholar that he specially invited him to teach him. How could he think that this guy is so stinky?" You have a hard temper, and the fourth brother has worked hard these days."
"Mother and concubine are too worried about everything, and they are trying to torture me instead." Li Yuanxu snorted: "Everyone knows that father and emperor treat our Zhongcui Palace differently, how can it be better than other palaces, big brother It’s just a good uncle, nothing else can compare with this hall, everyone in the world has good eyes, how can they not see the world in the future..."
Pause, although he is crazy, he also knows that there are some things he can't say at the moment, so he just snorted softly and said confidently: "Fortunately, after today, the mother and concubine will be relieved."
"Yeah," Li Yuanlang said with deep eyes, "it's finally relaxing."
Turning his face sideways, looking at Li Yuanmin, the corners of his mouth floated into a half-smile: "You think so?"
Li Yuanmin nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Oh?" Li Yuanxu squinted at the person sitting next to him, glanced up and down a few times, and said mockingly, "When did our master enter and leave the Zhongcui Palace?"
Li Yuanmin did not answer.
But Li Yuanlang interjected: "These days, fortunately, the Third Highness is at your knees, and it has relieved many mothers and concubines from the pain of thinking about their children."
Li Yuanxu was a little worried. Yesterday Li Yuanlang had already talked a lot in front of him, and he was already a little unhappy. It doesn't matter if other people please Zhong Cuigong, but this bitch in front of him can't do it, don't say it His status is lowly, even his ominous body looks unlucky, and I don't know what the concubine mother thinks, but she is in his way, so she speaks unceremoniously.
"Third Highness? It's just an unlucky thing born of a bitch who is neither male nor female, and deserves to be called Your Highness?"
It is very inappropriate to say this behind your back, not to mention face to face, it is an invisible murder. Li Yuanlang stopped talking, and only showed a barely visible smile, and cast a contemptuous glance at his side.
However, the other party was not even half annoyed, and just sat there with a blank face, like a stone without emotion.
Li Yuanlang hates his appearance the most. It used to be the same, but now the more he doesn't respond, the more he wants to tear off his fake skin. Just as he was about to find a way to provoke Li Yuanxu again, there was movement in the inner hall , the bead curtain was lifted, and the ring was admonishing, Wang Chaoluan walked out of the inner hall in full attire.
