"It's best to be able to kill him, but what if you can't kill him, and don't forget that until now there is still no sound from the palace, or... the empress is also hesitating."
Tianhai Chengwu looked at the direction of Gan Terrace in the distance, with tiredness and disappointment on his face. For the throne, he had been planning and preparing for more than ten years, but now it seems that the road ahead is still hidden in the night. Or very painful, but he must start thinking about other paths.
"Don't father worry about the future?" Tianhai Shengxue asked.
In recent years, the Tianhai family has been infinitely beautiful, including the Chen royal family, Tang family, Qiushan family, Zhu family, Luofeng family and other thousand-year-old families with profound heritage have been crushed to death. The officials have no objection to the Tianhai family, and no one will believe it. If the Tianhai family can't ascend to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who will show mercy
"He is the son of my aunt, and the blood of my Tianhai family flows in his body. Even if he becomes emperor in the future, will his mother's family be exterminated? No, no matter whether Shang Xingzhou or the Pope is behind him, he will I feel apprehensive and uneasy, and we still have to rely on our strength in the end." Tian Hai Chengwu looked at Gan Terrace in the distance, his short beard fluttering gently in the night wind, giving people an extremely dry and tough feeling: "We are not Zhou Tong. , once the family is bereaved, everyone will be shouted and beaten, so we have to be more on the safe side."
Tianhai Shengxue understood what his father meant, but...if the rumors were true and Chen Changsheng was really Prince Zhaoming, then he would pose a threat to the Holy Empress. At this time, do you have to think about the future in advance? He suddenly felt that the night wind in the garden became colder, and then he remembered that it was already a bleak autumn.
The Tianhai family has the current status, so of course it is inseparable from the Holy Empress, but just as old Mr. Tang often said when he was fishing by the Wenshui River, the Tianhai family and the Tianhai Holy Empress have never been the same thing. There is a lot of hidden strength in the hands of the emperor, even without the care of the Holy Empress, no force can uproot this family overnight.
—A wise man who is truly far-sighted and far-sighted will never put the future of a family entirely on one person, even if that person is the strongest person in the world. The Zhu family in Tianliang County prospered because of Zhu Luo, but now they are about to wither because of the end of this strong man. This is a lesson and a warning to all families.
And no matter how great a person is, there will always be a day when he returns to Xinghai. Emperor Taizong is dead, Zhou Dufu is dead, who can escape the word life and death
Countless people poured into the night from the Tianhai family's manor and the yamen controlled by the Tianhai family, and began to look for Chen Changsheng's whereabouts. Naturally, many people were alarmed. Those people immediately noticed the suspicious movement in the gloomy yamen in Beibingsi Hutong, and then Only then did they learn about the source of all the commotion from the Orthodox Academy—Chen Changsheng left the Orthodox Academy, and he didn't know where he went.
A warning bell sounded in the palace, and the priests scattered into the night. The lights in the priest's office were lit at the same time, and the plum blossoms in the corridor illuminated a strange beauty. More than two hundred cavalrymen came from Fenglin. He sped out and headed towards the Orthodox Academy with thunderous hoofbeats.
On a night in early autumn, the situation in Kyoto suddenly became tense, and it was extremely chilling, with yellow leaves falling.
…
…
How to die, that is a question. Ordinary people are generally not willing to think about this question. Whenever they think about it, they will subconsciously avoid it. Chen Changsheng's life journey is not ordinary, so he has thought about this question, and he has thought about it many times, and has his own very clear answer or attitude .
Live lively and die alone, this is the answer guessed by Zhexiu and Tang Sanshiliu, but not his answer. He may choose to be alone when he leaves this world, but during the period before, he did not He will live in isolation, bow his head and lick his wounds and remain silent. He left not to find his own grave, but to do something.
Zhexiu's words reminded him that this world is indeed full of malice for him, but some people who live in this world have already released a lot of kindness to him. That's what he has to do.
On a quiet and beautiful autumn night, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are full of eyeliners of various forces. The cavalry of the imperial court and the state religion are galloping at high speed on the straight streets. Countless people are looking for him and trying to kill or protect him. However, at this time , He had already avoided everyone's sight, holding a yellow paper umbrella and quietly came to Beixin Bridge, and then jumped into the dry well.
The space at the bottom of the well was still dark and full of chills, and he, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, fell towards the incomparably far-reaching ground at an increasing speed, as if he was about to become a stone that would perish with the earth, but he was still a stone away from the ground. When he was tens of feet away, a thick breath appeared under his body like a soft cotton cushion, which slowed down his falling speed a lot.
This kind of situation has happened many times, he did not panic, adjusted his posture, and after the breath dissipated, his feet landed steadily on the snow-covered ground.
There was a little light on the dome of the cave, it was a night pearl, and then countless night pearls lit up one after another, as if stars had descended here, the mountain-like black figure floated over from a distance seemingly slowly but in fact, looking down at him condescendingly .
Under the silver light, the black dragon's eyes, which were bigger than the buildings, shone with a cold light, full of tyrannical emotions, but also gave people an extraordinarily indifferent feeling.
This kind of meeting had happened many times, but this time was different from the previous ones. Neither Chen Changsheng nor Heilong said a word, they looked at each other silently in the cold wind, and the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.
I don't know how long it took, a dragon chant full of anger reverberated in the underground space, and the luminous pearl radiance falling from the dome trembled accordingly, and the year-old snow and frost on the ground danced everywhere, hitting Chen Changsheng's body, Leaves many deep or shallow marks like a whip.
Chen Changsheng could understand her mood at this moment, so he endured it silently.
The dragon's chant gradually disappeared, the wind and snow gradually stopped, the black dragon looked down at him, there was no sense of indifference in his eyes, only tyranny and anger remained, and there was a touch of... bewilderment.
"You... you... are you going to die?"
After Longyin disappeared, it was replaced by the voice of a human girl. It could be heard that she was panicking now.
Chen Changsheng looked at the black dragon, and felt that it had such a huge body and such a terrifying state, but its voice was so pure and tender, which was really a bit of a sharp contrast.
"Yes."
The black dragon became angry again, and the dragon's tail, which was more than ten miles away, hit the wall, but before it could land, it was blown away by the formation on the wall, and countless snow and frost collapsed.
"But...but..."
Heilong looked at Chen Changsheng, with a hint of pain in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was backlashed by the formation or because he saw his sad future, his voice trembled slightly.
"...you haven't learned Dragon Language yet."
"I'm sorry." Chen Changsheng lowered his head, raised his head after a while, looked at her and said, "I may never be able to learn Dragon Language in this life."
"Then...then...you are not allowed to die."
Chen Changsheng remained silent.
Heilong said sadly: "You didn't do what you promised me, how can you die?"
"I'm sorry." Chen Changsheng apologized again, and said, "I promised you once, I will find a way to get you out of here..."
"Yes, yes!" Heilong's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said repeatedly: "You haven't rescued me, how can you die? I don't allow you to die like this."
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to get you out."
Chen Changsheng looked at her and smiled, very happy and sincere: "During the journey back from Hanshan, I had a lot of time to think about things. After a long time of calculation, I am sure that we still have to start from the time. I will go to Shishi later. On the other side of the wall, perfect the formation once to ensure that the Taoist power of the time volume can be transported for a long time, but if only the formation is used, it may take a long time to eliminate the restriction with the power of time, so I suggest you Start practicing the time scroll, or you can speed up the time a lot."
He suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, I met Wang Zhice in Hanshan, but I was too busy at that time, and I forgot to ask him these things."
Hearing that person's name, Heilong, who was still immersed in the anger and sadness of Chen Changsheng's imminent death, couldn't help being startled, and said, "That liar is still alive?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Although he didn't claim his identity, he shouldn't be wrong."
The black dragon's voice became cold and full of resentment: "It really is a wicked person for thousands of years."
Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say. From the standpoint of the black dragon, she was just an ignorant girl from the dragon tribe. Although she committed many crimes after landing in the South China Sea, being imprisoned for hundreds of years is enough to redeem her. Sin, why should he be imprisoned forever in this underground place where there is no sunlight all day long? But from Wang Zhice's point of view, as the military advisor and half-guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, he certainly had the responsibility to protect the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Chen Changsheng..." Heilong's voice suddenly became calm.
"Huh?" He was a little puzzled.
The black dragon's voice echoed endlessly, with a hint of sadness in the cold.
"...you shouldn't be a good person."
"… why?"
"Because good people don't live long."
Chen Changsheng lowered his head again, looked at the frost under his feet, recalled the road full of frost and wind and rain that he had traveled in the world these years, and was silent for a long time.
He always thinks that people like Wang Po are good people, and he is definitely not one of them. He is just doing what he wants, because what he cultivates is what he wants.
It's a pity that life and death are up to fate, but people refuse to listen to their own wishes.
He raised his head and looked at the black dragon, wanting to explain a few words, but suddenly found that the black dragon had disappeared!
That mountain-like dragon body just disappeared into thin air!
Chen Changsheng was so shocked that he looked around, trying to figure out what happened.
Then, he saw a little girl emerging from the ice and snow all over the ground.
The little girl was dressed in black, sitting in the snow, her skirt was spread out, and two thin iron chains protruded from the back of the skirt, stretching towards the stone wall more than ten miles away.
