For three years, Luoyang entered the rainy season early. The rain fell on the bluestone slabs, the pagoda was shrouded in mist and rain, and the golden bells at the corners of the eaves jingled in the wind.
The horse's hooves crushed a puddle, and the scouts let go of their speed all the way, and rushed towards Miyagi. Pedestrians on both sides hurriedly gave way, knocking down many stalls.
"What are you doing, in the capital? Still running so fast..."
In Wei Wang's mansion, Li Changle heard the good news from Yangzhou, and angrily threw his fan. The jade pendant bounced on the ground and shattered.
Li Changle was unhappy and thought happily, Yangzhou had won the battle, Li Chaoge had military merits, and he would only be more unscrupulous in the future. Li Changle asked with a sullen face, "What about Li Xu and Li Zhen?"
"King Wu and Princess Yi'an committed suicide in fear of crime."
Li Changle sneered: "Trash."
Li Xu, Li Zhen and them were not born of the same mother, they were definitely not of the same kind, but Li Changle hoped that Li Xu would win, at least for a while longer. It is best to let the empress realize that the people are against it? She proclaims the emperor and returns the power to Li, which is what the people want? In this way, Li Huai will have a chance.
Li Changle was immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't notice the panicked expression on the messenger's face, as if he still had something to say. The more Li Changle thought about it, the worse her mood became, and she scolded: "It's taken advantage of her again. When they come back this time, the husband and wife don't know how to reward them."
The messenger finally summoned up his courage and said, "Princess Guangning, Princess Shengyuan... is dead."
Li Changle was startled, and almost jumped up from his seat: "What did you say?"
"Pingding? On the day of Yangzhou, it rained a lot at night. All the soldiers were poisoned at the celebration banquet and fell into a coma. There were many casualties. Princess Sheng Yuan and her son-in-law Gu Mingke went out to hunt down monsters, and they all died."
In the palace, Zhang Yanzhi also stood up abruptly: "What?"
The eunuch lowered his head, his face trembling: "There is news from the front that Princess Sheng Yuan is dead. Now, the scout who reported the news is at the Xuanzheng Hall."
Zhang Yanzhi stood on the ground, his mind was buzzing for a long time. That night, he heard the Queen's sleep talking, knew something was wrong, and hurriedly reported to Li Chaoge. But later he found out that his letter was not delivered, but was intercepted by the queen as soon as he left the palace. Afterwards, he was controlled by the empress. Even though Zhang Yanchang acted coquettishly and tried his best, he couldn't come in to see him.
Zhang Yanzhi knew that he was in danger. He didn't regret it, but he didn't expect that he would hear the news of Li Chaoge's death first.
she died? How could she be dead
Zhang Yanzhi stood on the ground in a daze, for a long time he couldn't feel his own limbs. After an unknown amount of time, he asked, "Where's Gu Mingke?"
"The whereabouts of the son-in-law are unknown, and it should be dead."
The news of Li Chaoge's death was like a thunderstorm, the capital was in an uproar, and all forces immediately became chaotic. Donggong party, Liang Wang party, and Wei Wang party were busy dividing up the territory, and the once powerful demon township division suddenly became indifferent.
The time has entered May, and it has been two months since the news of Li Chaoge's death came back to the capital. No matter how shocked, angry, and suspicious they were at the beginning, they must accept the reality now. Li Chaoge is dead, and Gu Mingke is also dead.
The positions of Bai Qianhe and the others suddenly became subtle. After all, they were criminals. Once Li Chaoge was around, no one dared to say anything about it. Now that Li Chaoge is dead, voices from all sides are coming out. Bai Qianhe didn't want to be an official at first, so he simply resigned and regained his freedom.
In the evening, Bai Qianhe was sitting in a restaurant drinking alone. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and finally, a slender figure sat across from him.
Bai Qianhe still had that foolish and cynical look, his peachy eyes flicked across the opposite side, and there was a smile in his voice: "Yo, sister Mo, you're here."
Bai Qianhe said that he wanted to withdraw the wine, but was held down by Mo Linlang. Mo Linlang took the jug, poured herself a glass, and said, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Bai Qianhe raised her eyebrows, her tongue was vague: "Who said that?"
"You can't fool me." Mo Linlang took a sip, but was choked by the strong wine, and leaned over to cough dryly. Bai Qianhe ordered her a cup of tea, put it beside her, and said leisurely, "Little sister, if you don't know how to drink, then don't drink it."
"I'm fine." Mo Linlang still held the wine glass persistently and asked, "Are you going to Jiangnan?"
Bai Qianhe sneered: "I am home all over the world. I have no place to live. I don't even know where I will be tomorrow. How do you know I'm going to Jiangnan?"
"She won't die." Mo Lin decided? Determined? Looking at him, she spoke of a topic that the few of them deliberately avoided during this time, "Yangzhou night attack, absolutely? There is something else hidden."
Bai Qianhe was silent. He really planned to go to Yangzhou, not to prove anything, but because he felt that he was in a panic.
Li Chaoge didn't know how long he would be away when he set off, so he left all of them behind to maintain the daily affairs of the demon town. Bai Qianhe didn't take this departure seriously, and didn't even go to see her off on the day of the expedition. Unexpectedly, that was actually the last time they saw each other.
Bai Qianhe thought about many endings. He could accept Li Chaoge being jealous, seizing power, living in seclusion, etc., but he couldn't accept an unclear "chasing and killing monsters to death". For a proud and flamboyant person like her, even if she dies, she should die vigorously and cleanly, instead of being forced to death by a sticky bug.
When Li Chaoge was mentioned, Bai Qianhe and Mo Linlang fell silent. Mo Linlang took another sip of wine and said, "Brother Zhou also resigned today. He said that sister-in-law Xun has a big belly, and they want to change to a clean little town life."
"how about you?"
"Me?" Maureen Lang paused, she lowered her eyes, covering her inner expression, "I want to stay in Shendu."
Bai Qianhe said slowly: "It's not necessary. They won't really be right? Let's rest assured that you are a woman, and you will only struggle in the court in the future. You might as well follow us. Here? Look at the strong faces of those powerful people?"
When Mo Linlang first came to Zhenyaosi, she was cautious and cautious. Many people helped her, including Li Chaoge, Bai Qianhe, Zhou Shao, Xun Siyu, and even Gu Mingke next door. Mo Linlang gradually became confident and cheerful, and staying in the demon town made her feel very safe.
But now, her barriers have been shattered again. Li Chaoge's whereabouts were unknown, Bai Qianhe said goodbye, Zhou Shao and Xun Siyu were about to move out of the capital, and she was the only one left in the huge city of gods. But this time, Mo Linlang didn't want to shrink back into the protective shell like she did when she was a child, obsequiously being an ostrich.
Mo Linlang gripped the wine bottle tightly, and she saw her own extremely bright eyes for the first time from the light green wine: "I want to stay here? Find out the truth about her disappearance."
To this day?, Mo Linlang still refuses to admit that Li Chaoge is dead, only willing to use "missing".
Bai Qianhe sighed, put down his drink, and spoke in a rare serious manner: "It's not necessary. Her death is different from those previous cases, and it can't be found out by just searching."
"I know." Mo Linlang didn't know, since she was a child, she lived by watching people with winks, and she understood the darkness of people's hearts far better than Bai Qianhe and others thought. She knew that this matter was deeply involved, and if she pursued it, it would probably bring her own death, but other than that, she didn't know what else she could do.
Bai Qianhe was about to say something when he suddenly frowned. On the wine table, the half-drunk wine was shaking up and down.
Bai Qianhe and Mo Linlang stood up abruptly and looked towards the city gate. Luoyang is just at the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, and the streets are already under curfew, but the restaurants and flower streets have just ushered in the busiest time of the day. The whole street was shrouded in orange lights. Everyone heard the unusual sound at the gate of the city. They turned their heads and pointed in surprise: "What's wrong with the gate? It's already this time, and there are still people entering the city?"
Passers-by disagreed: "There is no major event recently, just wait for one night, why do you have to break through the night ban?"
"Then who exactly caused such a big commotion?"
Everyone looked to the southwest, Mo Linlang had yin and yang eyes, plus she stood tall and could see far away, so she was the first to notice the abnormality. Her face changed suddenly: "No, there are no people outside, and the direction of the city gate is shrouded in a strong dead air!""
The guards of Changxia Gate also knew that the things outside were not human beings, but they couldn't stand it at all. The huge monster was extremely powerful, and it seemed that it didn't know the pain, hitting the door one after another. Soon, the tall and big Changxia Gate was knocked open by it.
The Imperial Army hurriedly lined up to block it, but when the city gate fell and they really saw the real body of the monster outside, their legs trembled in fright.
This turned out to be a grotesque beast. It had a tiger body and a wolf head, but it was much bigger than a tiger. It stood on the ground like a mountain, and you could smell the bloody smell from its mouth from a long distance away.
At this time, screams came from Dingding Ding Gate, and the guards' hearts thumped hard. It's over. Several monsters attacked the gates of the city at the same time. It seems that the Dingding Gate has been lost.
Zhong Lang will immediately order to shoot arrows, and the arrows fly to the wolf and tiger as if they don't want money. But this wolf and tiger's animal skin is rough and thick, and the carefully forged arrowheads can't even scratch a white mark on it.
Zhong Lang felt a chill in his heart. He was going to call for backup, but he was rushed by the wolf and tiger as soon as he turned around. The wolf and tiger stomped on General Zhonglang, its fangs and claws brushed across, and in the blink of an eye, General Zhonglang, who was talking just now, turned into a pile of broken limbs.
The soldiers defending the city lost their command and collapsed in an instant. The Changxia gate quickly lost control, and the monsters rushed into the prosperous and rich god capital, such as entering a large granary, and immediately began to wreak havoc. The wolves and tigers rushed to places with bright lights, and the people in Fangshi screamed in fright when they saw a monster descending from the sky. However, the more it does this, the more it will attract the attention of the wolf and tiger. It is excited to kill, and every time it raises its claws, it will bring up a large cloud of blood mist, and the flesh and blood will continue to splash out.
When Bai Qianhe and Mo Linlang rushed over, they saw such a scene. They were used to seeing monsters and found it shocking. The crowd pushed desperately and ran out like crazy. Bai Qianhe struggled to avoid the crowd, and got separated from Mo Linlang when he didn't pay attention: "Linlang, be careful."
Although Mo Linlang was very talented, she had no strength or martial arts, so she was no different from a weak woman in this chaotic environment. Mo Linlang wanted to go to Bai Qianhe's side, but the frightened people pushed desperately, and Mo Linlang was against the current again, unable to stand firmly at all. She didn't know who pushed her and accidentally fell down. As far as the eye could see, there were messy feet, many people stepped on her without looking, and Mo Linlang's face immediately turned pale.
At the moment of danger, a strong force came from the side, directly lifting her up. Mo Linlang was so frightened that her hands and feet became cold, and she was afraid for a while. She turned around and found that the person who rescued her was actually Zhou Shao: "Brother Zhou?"
Holding Mo Linlang with one hand and protecting Xun Siyu with the other, Zhou Shao retreated slowly to the corner. The two female relatives of them leaned against the wall and finally managed to stand firm. Xun Siyu clutched her stomach, her face was very ugly. She took a deep breath and asked, "Lin Lang, are you okay?"
Mo Linlang nodded: "I'm fine. Sister Siyu, how are you doing?"
Bai Qianhe also rushed over. The wolves and tigers were still wreaking havoc behind their backs. When they heard the cries of children, their expressions were extremely pale.
Catching monsters is the responsibility of the demon commanders, but their command is unclear, and they really don't want to continue to work for the court. Bai Qianhe was the first to speak: "My sister-in-law is still pregnant, so I can't stay in Shendu anymore. Zhou Shao, take your sister-in-law and walk through the city gate, and I will cover you."
Zhou Shao silently stood beside his wife. He looks fierce, coupled with his muscular body, he is gloomy when he is not speaking, as scary as an iron tower, but now, he is behind his pregnant wife, always thoughtful, meticulous, and careful.
Seeing Zhou Shao's silence for a long time, Xun Siyu understood his thoughts in his heart. Xun Siyu said: "I can't go very far. Besides, even if we venture out of Luoyang, once Luoyang falls, the world will be in chaos. At that time, where can we settle down?"
Xun Siyu looked at Zhou Shao, and gently covered his iron arm with a soft hand: "It doesn't matter if I'm alone, you can do what you want."
Bai Qianhe quickly said: "That monster cannot be dealt with by one person. Zhou Shao, you have already withdrawn from the demon town, why bother with them? The safety of the sister-in-law is the most important thing, you should take the sister-in-law out of the city first. "
Bai Qianhe is a thief and has no moral constraints, right? The court has no loyalty. The reason why he stayed in Zhenyaosi was just for fun. Now, he doesn't want to play.
Zhou Shao was silent for a long time, shook Xun Siyu's hand vigorously, and then carefully put Xun Siyu next to Bai Qianhe. He is always taciturn, and this may be the longest thing he has said: "Siyu is right? If the capital can be captured by monsters, where is it safe outside? Here? It is at the feet of the emperor, the emperor's prime minister, and dignitaries. Are all the nobles here? Even if there are monsters, the capital of God is the last piece of pure land. I don't want my child to grow up in troubled times, Bai Qianhe, she and the child will be left to you in a while."
When Mo Linlang heard this, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Shao put on his armguards and solemnly clasped his fists at Bai Qianhe: "I'm counting on you. Take care of Siyu and Linlang."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Shao turned around and strode towards the wolf and tiger beast. When he walked out of the corner, he stopped and looked back at Xun Siyu deeply: "If it is a son, it will be called Zhou Song, and if it is a daughter, it will be called Zhou Heng."
Xun Siyu's eyes were already full of tears, she nodded with tears in her eyes, and said, "Okay."
Zhou Shao had seen the wolf and tiger beast from afar, and he knew that this thing was not small, but when he actually stood in front of it, Zhou Shao realized how terrifying it was. This wolf-tiger beast has strong limbs and a huge body. Its breath is like a gust of wind, making people unable to stand still. It has both the ferocity and ferocity of a tiger, and the cunning and flexibility of a wolf. With a sweep of its tail, it can cut a person in half.
The wolf and tiger sensed that a new person had arrived. It lowered its body and slowly turned in a circle, observing the prey with great interest.
Zhou Shao's whole body was tense, and the lines on his arms were as hard as iron. Zhou Shao loosened his shoulders and was about to swing his fists forward when he was suddenly held back by a person.
Zhou Shao turned around and unexpectedly saw a familiar person. Bai Qianhe still had that cynical look, and said, "Are you going to fight it hard with your bare hands?"
In the streets? Noisy, screams everywhere? In the darkness, Zhou Shao's eyes lit up like torches: "Why didn't you leave?"
"My Thousand-Handed Thief Sage comes whenever I want, and leaves whenever I want." Bai Qianhe looked at the wolf and tiger beast in front of him again, and said, "Wolves are very shrewd. If you can't attack by force, you have to outsmart them. A big guy like you can only You will be reckless, without me, you can't do anything."
There is no need to say those provocative words at this moment, Zhou Shao just patted Bai Qianhe's shoulder vigorously, keeping everything in his mind. Bai Qianhe didn't talk nonsense anymore, and quickly threw the weapon to Zhou Shao, saying: "Its fur is invulnerable, but the dough inside its mouth should be crisp. I will run to the front to lure it to open its mouth, and you take the opportunity to pierce it with a hook." The upper jaw, and then pull it. I don't believe it, I can kill the target with a knife, and I can't grind it to death."
Running past the mouth of a wolf and tiger? Zhou Shao frowned, and looked at him seriously: "Xiao Xin."
Bai Qianhe didn't say anything, and ran away in a hurry. Relying on his outstanding lightness kung fu, Bai Qianhe deliberately stood in front of the wolf tiger beast and provoked it repeatedly. Enraged, the wolf and tiger opened its mouth wide and shouted angrily, before biting Bai Qianhe fiercely.
The wolf-tiger beast was huge in size, moved quickly, and had an astonishing bite force. Bai Qianhe narrowly avoided it several times by rubbing his teeth. The situation on Bai Qianhe's side was getting more and more dangerous, Zhou Shao stared at the wolf and tiger beast without moving, and suddenly saw an opportunity, immediately picked up the iron claw and threw it towards the upper jaw of the wolf and tiger beast.
Zhou Shao's strength was astonishing, and he actually pierced through the wolf and tiger's teeth and pierced into the flesh and blood of the mouth. The wolves and tigers suffered from pain and struggled vigorously. Zhou Shao held on to the iron chain tightly and tried his best to trap it.
Zhou Shao's feet made a deep hole on the ground, and his arms were stretched like iron. Seeing the opportunity, Bai Qianhe quickly attacked the eyes, mouth, and waist of the wolf and tiger, and attacked any weak point of the wolf or tiger that he knew. But the wolf and tiger didn't dodge, Bai Qianhe felt strange in his heart, he raised his head, and at that moment he seemed to see a smile on the face of the wolf and tiger.
Bai Qianhe immediately realized something was wrong, but before he had time to remind Zhou Shao, the wolf and tiger let out a loud roar, and the air flow from his breath threw Bai Qianhe far away. Bai Qianhe got up enduring the pain, he didn't have time to check his injuries, so he hurried to see Zhou Shao's condition. As a result, the scene in front of him almost caused Bai Qianhe's heart to go into cardiac arrest.
Zhou Shao has already been pulled in front of him by the wolf and tiger beast. The wolf and tiger beast opened its mouth wide and bit Zhou Shao straight. The iron hook in its mouth has already fallen off, and the attacks they sent out with all their efforts and at the risk of their lives didn't even scratch its skin.
In Bai Qianhe's heart, there was great despair, is this even impossible? Seeing that Zhou Shao was about to be pierced by his bloody mouth, the people around him who hadn't had time to escape turned their eyes away, and couldn't bear to look any further.
The teeth closed, and there seemed to be a loud bang. However, the expected scream? It didn't come, Bai Qianhe's eyes widened, the corners of his eyes were almost cracked: "Princess?"
A slender figure stopped in front of Zhou Shao, using the scabbard to support the upper and lower jaws of the wolf and tiger. The bite force of the wolf and tiger beast is terrifying, but this time it tried several times, but it couldn't move an inch.
Zhou Shao clutched his chest and stared blankly at the woman in front of him: "Commander, are you still alive?"
The woman in front didn't answer. She seemed to dislike the smell coming out of the mouth of the wolf and tiger beast, so she withdrew her sword abruptly. The wolf and tiger were pulled forward by this force, and a few teeth with gums fell out of their mouths bloody.
Li Chaoge bent his knees, knocked on the chin of the wolf and tiger beast, and lifted it high? high? kicked it flying. The gigantic wolf and tiger turned two times in the air before finally falling down. It hit the ground, shaking up a burst of yellow sand.
With such a heavy body, the wolf and tiger never thought that one day it would be thrown into the air like a sandbag, and then fall down after turning over two times. The wolf and tiger were stunned by the beating, and so were the others. Even Zhou Shao looked at the woman in front of him in astonishment.
She is tall and slender, with a slim back, she is obviously Li Chaoge. But she wore a mask on her face, and her strength was far stronger than when she went out with the army. Is this really Li Chaoge? In just three months, what has she experienced
Li Chaoge turned his head and glanced at Zhou Shao, which was very obvious. Bai Qianhe immediately stepped forward and supported Zhou Shao to retreat, so as not to delay Li Chaoge's performance.
The field was finally vacant. Li Chaoge held the sword and walked towards the wolf, tiger and beast like a leisurely stroll. The wolf tiger got up from the ground, shook its head, lowered its body, and let out a threatening grunt
The wolves and tigers stomped on the ground and rushed towards Li Chaoge with all their strength. Li Chaoge didn't even try to hide. She stood still and waited for the wolf and tiger to come flying. When the wolf and tiger were only an arm away from her, she punched the wolf and tiger back from the same way.
The wolf and tiger fell heavily to the ground, and the ground seemed to tremble. Bai Qianhe supported Zhou Shao, with his mouth half open, it took him a long time to say: "Mother..."
The wolf and tiger got up from the dust again, roaring and charging towards Li Chaoge. The wolf tiger and Li Chaoge are very different in size, one is like a mountain, and the other is slender, not as thick as the wolf tiger's legs. The wolves and tigers are ferocious and violent, roaring one after another, but Li Chaoge is always unhurried and calm? Can't find North.
The wolf and tiger roared up to the sky, completely angry, black air appeared in the eyes, and a strong smell of death floated from it. Bai Qianhe pinched Zhou Shao's arm nervously, and said, "I was never so nervous when my wife gave birth."
Zhou Shao couldn't bear to slap him away: "You don't have a wife."
"Yeah, so... I'm nervous."
The wolves and tigers were obviously not right. Li Chaoge finally drew his sword, and the cold light on the blade suddenly turned into a gust of wind, attacking the wolves and tigers.
The wolves and tigers spit out a large cloud of black mist at Li Chaoge, crying ghosts and howling wolves inside, full of resentment. Li Chaoge dodged it, and with a twist of the long sword, he cut the resentful soul inside in half. Li Chaoge was devastated all the way, and under the light of the sword, not a ray of resentment could escape. She approached the wolf and tiger in the blink of an eye. The wolf and tiger were about to attack, but it was just a false move. Li Chaoge suddenly changed direction, stepped on the wolf and tiger's nose, jumped into the air, held the sword, and pointed at its The forehead was stabbed heavily.
Li Chaoge's sword pierced through the brain of the wolf and tiger. Like a deflated ball, the energy of the wolf and tiger quickly dissipated, and the skin shriveled. The wolves and tigers roared wildly, and the sound was shrill. Li Chaoge remained unmoved, holding the sword firmly.
Finally, the wolf and tiger fell to the ground with a bang. The tiger skin, which was indestructible just now, quickly crumbled, and finally turned into a burst of ashes. The wind blew it away, leaving only a pile of pale bones.
There are tigers and wolves in the bones, no wonder this kind of monster can be fused.
Li Chaoge pulled the Qianyuan sword out of the skeleton, and made a tactic with both hands. As if driven by something, the Qianyuan sword roared through the wall and plunged into the dark shadow of the tree behind. Only then did Bai Qianhe see that there was a monster with horns and a leopard body hiding there. Leopards are good at dodging and culling, but unfortunately, it has no chance to show it.
When Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao turned their heads, they found that the street was empty, and there was no masked woman at all. If their wounds were not still sore, they almost thought that just now was just an illusion.
Zhou Shao and Bai Qianhe sat in a daze among the ruins, until Mo Linlang and Xun Siyu rushed over in a panic and asked, "What's the matter, are you injured?"
Zhou Shao shook his head slowly. After a while, Bai Qianhe asked in a low voice, "Is that her?"
Zhou Shao was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know."
No one could have killed these monsters without her. But if it was her, why didn't she show her true colors? And, what about Gu Mingke
·
The gods were suddenly attacked, and the lights of Miyagi were quickly lit. Dark clouds piled up in the sky, and in the clouds? Purple light flickered, thunder burst, and there was an ominous atmosphere everywhere.
The eunuch who reported the letter had to run every time a stick of incense was burned. Everywhere in the palace was tense, but Zhang Yanzhi sat in the palace with rare ease.
In front of him was a glass of poisoned wine.
He has long aroused the Queen's suspicion. Before, he repeatedly approached Li Chaoge. When the army set off, he reminded Li Chaoge with a toast. A few days ago, he even wanted to send a letter to Li Chaoge... Each of these things angered the Queen's bottom line. Can the Queen keep him? To this day?, it is an extrajudicial favor.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that God was attacked by monsters on the day when he was bestowed to death.
Zhang Yanzhi couldn't help but think, if she was here...
Just as he started, Zhang Yanzhi shook his head and stopped. She is no longer here, so it is appropriate for these nobles in the palace to experience what disaster is. A gust of wind blew outside the window, Zhang Yanzhi raised his head, stared at the night sky with lightning and thunder, and murmured: "It's going to rain."
I heard that it was also a rainy night when she died.
The eunuch who supervised the execution was afraid that monsters would suddenly enter Miyagi, so he couldn't help urging: "Goro, the time has come."
Zhang Yanzhi quietly picked up the wine bottle and drank it down. He still felt regretful that he left the dream a little later when he was in the palace, and happened to see the scene before she disappeared. This was the root cause of her wandering all her life. He wanted to remind her, but he failed in the end.
The queen has many eyes and ears, Zhang Yanzhi dare not say too obvious, he can only hint to Li Chaoge not to trust anyone. It's a pity that Li Chaoge still hasn't figured it out. She guarded against many people, but she didn't guard against her mother.
The poisoned wine entered his throat, Zhang Yanzhi quietly waited for the poison to be released. Suddenly a strong wind blew up outside, and there was a bang of thunder, and lightning illuminated the entire palace.
Zhang Yanzhi was startled, and stood up abruptly. Regardless of the eunuch's obstruction, he ran to the door, raised his head, and looked in the direction of Daye Hall from a distance.
Zhang Yanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's her..."
She is not dead!
The sound of the thunderstorm in the clouds became more and more dense. The sound was so loud and urgent that it almost seemed to come from the roof of the palace. When the queen heard that the monsters in the capital had calmed down, she seemed to have a feeling in her heart, and sent her attendants outside the palace.
Just as the hall was emptied, a streak of purple lightning flashed outside the hall, illuminating the Hall of Great Achievement for a moment, and also illuminating the snow blade in front of the Queen's throat.
The queen was not surprised when she saw her: "You are here."
Li Chaoge held on to the sword, pointing the sword point at the Queen's throat: "The five ninjas? What's going on?"
"Since you already know, why bother to ask?"
Li Chaoge clenched his fingers tightly, and the tip of the sword advanced an inch, almost drawing a blood line on the queen's neck: "Why? Since I returned to the capital, what is wrong with you?"
As long as Li Chaoge's hand shakes slightly, the queen will die on the spot, but even at this time, the queen is still calm. She looked at Li Chaoge and said slowly, "I saw a dream."
Li Chaoge was startled, and his movements stopped.
In February, as soon as Li Chaoge left the capital, the empress had nightmares incessantly. In the dream, Li Chaoge killed his brother and sister, killed the king and set himself up. It stands to reason that a dream is a dream, and it would be ridiculous to confuse it with reality, but the queen couldn't laugh, because there were many details in the dream that the queen herself knew, so it couldn't be faked.
Is this real? What happened, maybe in the past, maybe in the near future.
The queen kept silent, thought for a long time, and finally made up her mind. She just wanted to find capable people and strangers, and it happened that five ninjas came to her door. The queen also wondered why these people appeared so coincidentally, but the day was approaching day by day, and Li Chaoge's court was imminent, so the queen couldn't wait.
No emperor would keep a regicide, not even her daughter.
Li Chaoge finally put away the sword, and put it back into the scabbard with a clang. It turned out that Li Chaoge stared into the Queen's eyes and said, "I have nothing to say. I just want to ask you one thing. I was abandoned by the Queen during the Mutiny in Shuofang. Is it an accident?"
A few days ago, on a small island in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Chaoge asked Zhou Changgeng the same question under the moonlight. Zhou Changgeng was silent for a long time, and asked her: "Do you really want to know?"
Li Chaoge sure? Afterwards, Zhou Changgeng broke the seal, and memories from before she was six years old flooded into her mind like a wave.
Li Chaoge saw Li Shan flying a kite with her, saw the nanny holding her under the steps to enjoy the shade, and also saw the carriage that broke down suddenly in the year of fleeing.
The carriage that Li Chaoge and the nanny were sitting in couldn't run away. Seeing that the rebels were about to catch up, the nanny was afraid, and carried her out of the carriage, trying to catch up with the carriage of the queen and Wu Zhaoyi in front. Queen Wang didn't want to kill the whole car, so she made up her mind to ignore Li Chaoge and let them drown in the chaotic tide.
What Queen Wang did was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and the emperor hated her for being cruel and merciless, and it didn't take long for her to be completely abandoned. After that, Wu Zhaoyi, who gave birth to her eldest son, lost her beloved daughter and was even favored, came to the top, and it was a matter of course.
The whole thing seemed to be okay, but Li Chaoge could clearly see in his memory that the carriage she was riding in was arranged by Wu Zhaoyi. The day before the accident, Wu Zhaoyi held her on his lap and teased her for a while, rather There is a sense of reluctance. Before Li Chaoge's carriage broke down, Wu Zhaoyi also visited her.
It is normal for a mother to take care of her children, and no one will particularly care about it. Who would have thought that a mother would be so cruel
There was lightning and thunder outside the hall, and Li Chaoge stared at the queen. The queen was silent for a long time, and said, "No."
Li Chaoge pursed his lips and smiled coldly: "I finally heard this sentence myself. Mother, in your heart? Have you ever really regarded me as a daughter?"
"If I hadn't, I wouldn't have recognized you when you came to Zigui Palace." The empress stared at Li Chaoge. From facial features to temperament, this was the child who most resembled her. Li Shan and Li Huai are both like Li Ze, and Li Changle looks like a queen, but her heart is completely from the Li family. Only Li Chaoge is her most satisfied child.
Unfortunately, after all missed.
Their mother and daughter have been separated for too long. After Li Chaoge came back, he always referred to the empress as "Queen of Heaven" and "Holy Majesty", and the empress rarely showed warmth to Li Chaoge. This is the first time they put down their respectful names and speak as mother and daughter.
"Why didn't Gu Mingke come back?"
Li Chaoge sneered: "He's dead."
The empress understood, and chuckled: "I said a long time ago that he will leave you sooner or later. If you had reconciled with Gu Mingke according to my arrangement, the throne is now yours. But you refused. You I said, can you be a good emperor with your heart?"
Li Chaoge stood in the Hall of Great Achievements, she looked around the palace, she can still recognize where she was in the previous life? Luckily, I had an extra life, but I didn't expect it to end in the same way.
Li Chaoge said: "I really want the throne, and I also know that those who achieve great things don't care about small things, and sacrifice justice, love, and even conscience for the sake of the great cause. It is not important at all. Compared with the actual benefits, how much is dignity and justice worth?" What about money?"
The queen's complexion seemed to loosen, and in the next second, Li Chaoge took a step back, drew his sword sharply, and cut off a strand of her own hair.
To replace the head with hair, cut off the same love. The blue silk fell to the ground slowly, and Li Chaoge's voice sounded like a clang on the golden palace: "But I just don't want to part with it."
Dignity and a sense of justice are not even worth two taels of money, but Li Chaoge wants to take these two taels. She was a step away, and looked at the queen quietly.
When she was only one step away from the throne, she chose to quit.
Li Chaoge put away his sword and said: "Be cautious, keep your heart, monsters appear frequently, the world has been waiting for the Lord of the Kingdom for a long time. I hope you ascend to the throne, not only to prove your ambition and satisfy your desire for power, but I really have the ability to do something for this world. I hope that when I come to the world next time, what I see is that a gentleman governs the world."
Li Chaoge turned around and strode out of the hall. Thunder and lightning flashed outside the Hall of Great Achievement. This kind of thunder and lightning could not be produced by rain at all. The Empress walked to the window and stared up at the clouds.
No wonder, after thundering for so long, no rain has ever fallen.
In the side hall, Zhang Yanzhi looked at the lightning in the distance, and fell down with a smile. His life was as humble as mud, but because he loved her, he became shining.
From falling in love with her to dying for her, she knows nothing.
But he still has no regrets. Loving her was the greatest thing he ever did.
