Hello Chang’an

The torches were swaying, one man and one horse in front, leading the army slowly.

The tall and strong woman on horseback is dressed in black robes. Her figure is half-melted in the night firelight, but her face is exceptionally clear.

 It was an extremely quiet face.

The horse's hooves slowly stopped, and when the last sound of the horse's hooves echoed, Li Yin seemed to hear the thunder that shook the sky and the earth.

As his eyes met, it was as if thunder was striking him one after another, each one more shocking than the last. The heaven and earth were torn and twisted around him, shaking like water.

 Li Yin did not speak.

He looked at the person steadily, and could only see her in his eyes. He reached out and took off the spear from the deputy general beside him. Without any warning or so-called opening remarks, he walked towards her with the gun.

 This is an extremely sudden move, and it is no different from seeking death.

Li Lu, who was being supported by a forbidden soldier and whose face was pale and almost unable to walk, looked at his father's back in surprise.

Today, from the Imperial Ancestral Temple, to the Hanyuan Hall, and then to the Fanglin Gate... with every step his father took, he lost more retreats and got more betrayals.

 He watched the drama with dazzled eyes and watched his father's reaction.

Li Lu had never fled like this before. His body was so broken that he could no longer support himself, but his mood was as joyful and exciting as if he had experienced the baptism of new life.

The only regret is that my father's performance was still too sensible and decent, and he never showed his true collapse and loss of control.

Until this moment...the supporting string seemed to suddenly burst.

 And this was just because the father saw the crown princess? Just one glance?

 Li Lu looked at his father's back and saw silent anger in it.

This unknown anger was the most turbulent mood swing Li Lu had ever seen from his father in his life.

Li Yin's broad and majestic gold-woven robes were dragging on the ground, his steps were slow to fast, and his dark eyes were filled with anger.

The generals had already raised their swords and guns to stop him, but stopped at Li Suining's signal.

Li Suining also had a spear in her hand, and she came with it all the way.

 There needs to be a settlement defined by her between her and her uncle.

Li Suining was also silent. She stood up suddenly, turned the direction of the spear in her right hand, stepped lightly on the horse's back with her toes, leaped forward, and attacked with the spear in the air.

 She was the one who faced the challenge, but she was also the one who took the lead. She did not wait or hesitate, and instantly changed from passive to active.

　　—What a resemblance!

 —This is so similar, isn’t it!

 Li Yin felt the sound of gnashing his teeth deep in his heart. After holding his gun to block Li Suining's attack, he immediately attacked her. The two sides defended each other, and the spears clashed with each other, making a clanging sound and golden iron flowers splashing.

Neither of them spoke a word, but there was a noise between them, which was the rumor from the past.

The sharp spear head is like a mirror. As it moves and flashes, it reflects scenes from the past. Between every collision of moves, sounds of the old days forgotten in the sea of ​​time burst out.

The first time Li Shang got a spear was at the martial arts training ground with a group of princes. Her uncle Wang threw a spear at her. She reached out to catch it, not sure how to hold it.

She was still young at that time, and her uncle Wang was still a young man.

 The young man smiled and told her that by practicing the gun to be more powerful, she could scare away those who wanted to bully her.

 For a long time, the spear became a comparison of whether and how much she had grown taller.

 She gradually grew up under the gaze of the spear, and Uncle Wang gradually looked like a young man.

The sounds of martial arts practice, the echoes of sitting and chatting, the clatter of chess pieces... At the palace banquet, a minister made a drunken mistake. She wanted to find a way to watch the fun, so she turned to look at Uncle Wang. He met Uncle Wang's gaze that was looking over at the same time.

　Tacit understanding, warmth, companionship, like father and brother...no flaws.

Li Suining later thought that maybe everything in the beginning was true, so there were no flaws.

 So, when did it start to change?

 About the time when she became the crown prince.

After going out to conquer the country and returning home victoriously, Li Shang subconsciously wrote down the scenery of various places when she returned. She often thought that the scenery here was quite good, and she could tell Uncle Wang when she returned to Beijing. Uncle Wang was free and unrestrained and liked the scenery of mountains and rivers—

It wasn’t until she was no longer Li Shang and became Li Suining that she realized that what her Uncle Wang liked was not to travel around the mountains and rivers, but to own them, even if it meant destroying them first.

 In some respects, her niece and this uncle Wang are indeed similar.

Perhaps it was because they were similar enough that they had entanglements, and that was why he initially noticed her, a poor child who also lived in a deep palace.

If she had stayed like that, instead of having something beyond his reach, maybe he could have always been her good uncle.

At first, he probably wanted to raise a rabbit that shared the same disease, but unexpectedly, the rabbit became a tiger in his heart.

 She became a reference for his ambition, and also became an obstacle to him at that moment.

 The shadow of the gun intertwined with memories, shattering the moonlight.

While the gun bodies were resisting each other, with their eyes close to each other for a moment, Li Yin finally did not dodge in a hurry, and finally spoke, his voice low and trembling: "You shouldn't have come back... This time, I will conquer the capital!"

 This is anger and unwillingness.

The woman's dark eyes stared at him: "What do you want to conquer the capital? My counselors and my Xuance army? - Uncle Wang."

The last word "Uncle Wang" made Li Yin, who was staring at her closely, suddenly laugh - it was indeed her! Ashang!

“Uncle Wang’s marksmanship doesn’t seem to have improved,” Li Suining said, letting go of the confrontation: “This time, it’s me who will teach Uncle Wang.”

　　When the woman's calm voice fell, she swung her spear with one arm, and a whistling sound sounded.

Li Yin deflected the blow and swept away with his spear. Li Suining spun and jumped up. Li Yin's spear swept away, causing a gust of wind to lift the corners of Li Suining's robe.

Li Suining was already approaching Li Yin again. As she moved around, the moves in her hands kept changing, either using her hands alternately, or holding the gun at the same time during a close attack, with her right hand in front and her left hand behind, using the gun tip as a knife. Use the spear body as a shield and combine the sword and shield into one, capable of both offense and defense.

Her body movements were swift and sharp, like a shooting star. Before one move was completed, the next one had already arrived. Between each move there was another move. Onlookers were almost shocked to see the shadow of the gun like star marks, and the wind of the gun like the roar of a dragon. Identify its specific moves.

And if Li Suining is like a shooting star, Li Yin is like still water, his power is endless, and his moves are all-encompassing - just like the gentle appearance he always shows to others.

Li Shang once thought that this was a sign that a man is like a gun, otherwise how could he be said to have no flaws.

 What can be false is always false, especially when illusion can no longer win—

Under Li Suining's close offensive, Li Yin's marksmanship finally changed and began to become sharp, sharp, and unfamiliar.

At this moment, he had forgotten everything around him, his own situation, and did not think about the consequences. At this moment, he was trapped in this duel with only one thought... He was going to use a method that Ashang had never experienced before. His marksmanship is better than hers, so if possible, it would be best to kill her!

The woman in black clothes is no longer a person in his eyes, but a demonic obstacle... She is not a human anymore, she is a demonic obstacle resurrected from the dead! But the ensuing confrontation was completely beyond his expectation.

He wanted to use powerful unfamiliar moves to catch him off guard, but the reality was that he was retreating steadily.

If he could still survive under Li Suining's gun with his old moves and was barely on par with her, then the unfamiliar moves that seemed to him to be more lethal quickly gave him signs of defeat.

Li Yin was shocked and angry. He swung his gun again, but was blocked by Li Suining. He only heard her say: "Uncle Wang, have you ever thought that the trust and understanding between you and me is your only chance-"

"Uncle Wang shouldn't think that he really killed me with his own skills and scheming in the past."

 You show her off as a stranger, are you still trying to win her over?

 Which powerful enemy she killed on the battlefield was not a stranger.

He thought that the unfamiliar moves he reserved against her could be used as a killing move, but little did he know that this move was the one that truly lost his original advantage.

Using an unfamiliar move requires the other party to use an unfamiliar move to resolve it, which means that he can no longer predict her moves.

What Li Suining is best at is dismantling and analyzing the opponent's moves in the shortest possible time. This is an ability bestowed upon her by countless cruel battles. However, Li Yin, who had only shown her as water before, had never had the opportunity to learn it. Pass.

 This is what Li Suining said: "This time I will give guidance to Uncle Wang. 】

This ending may not have been about skill and marksmanship from the beginning, but a ending of human nature.

Everyone on the four sides has been ordered to retreat ten steps away. Li Yin's people have been completely controlled, but the roof ridges on both sides are already full of crossbowmen, with arrows on the strings, keeping an eye on the fight below.

At this time, they saw that Li Yin had quickly fallen behind after changing the number of marksmanship.

 Li Yin, who retreated a few steps, used his last killing move. The gun body picked up strong wind and stabbed Li Suining away.

Li Suining did not shy away but welcomed him.

The gun head in her hand collided with Li Yin's gun head in the air, and then the gun body moved slightly, and quickly moved forward to press Li Yin's gun body. She suddenly exerted her strength, and when the gun body was half pressed, The person flew forward and stepped on Li Yin's gun barrel. At the same time, she withdrew her own spear, whizzed with one hand and turned the direction of the gun head in the air, and suddenly stabbed Li Yin in front of his face!

All this happened in an instant. Li Yin's pupils shrank suddenly, he leaned back to avoid the situation, and suddenly withdrew his right hand, holding tightly an inch below the head of the oncoming spear!

At the same time, he quickly raised his leg and swept towards the spear that was pressed down by Li Suining. The moment the spear flew away, he grasped the head of the spear with his left hand. In an instant, he held the sharp spear head horizontally and suddenly stabbed it. One side of Li Suining's neck!

Li Suining had already taken the lead, holding the gun body with both hands. Using the strength of Li Yin's right hand to block it, he suddenly raised his body and jumped. At the same time, he lowered his upper body, lifted his left and right legs one after another, and jumped into the air.

Everyone could almost see the mysterious figure in black robes like a slender and swift black lightning. Before Li Yin could react, he had already lightly jumped behind Li Yin. When she turned around and half straightened up, the spear in her right hand was already stabbing Li Yin like thunder. Afterthought.

The head of the gun was blocked. It was the armor that Li Yingun had taken. However, the person who fired the gun did not make any move to block or retract the gun. Her gun head scraped sideways along the layer of armor attached to it without stopping. The long cut of the clothes made the sound of breaking cloth, and her footsteps followed Li Yin's steps trying to dodge, until she penetrated the place not protected by the armor, and sank into Li Yin's right shoulder and arm.

The tip of the spear is sharp, breaking the flesh and blood, and breaking the bones and muscles.

The spear in Li Yin's hand fell. When Li Suining put the gun away, he staggered and turned around. He gritted his teeth and used his left hand to pull out the sword from his waist under the wide dress.

 The sword was unsheathed, and the sword's light was bright and dazzling.

Li Suining, however, swept his spear across Li Yin's knees.

Li Yin suddenly knelt down and just used the sword in his left hand to steady his body. The gun came again, but it was aimed at the sword in his hand. The sword flew out of his hand. He was suddenly forced to support the ground with his hand and the sword fell to the ground. Makes a crisp sound.

 “Uncle Wang is no longer worthy of using this sword.” Li Suining walked towards him with his gun in hand.

Li Yin raised his head to look at the person approaching, and let out an indistinguishable laugh. His overwhelming reluctance turned into a low voice with gritted teeth: "Ashang, tell me why...why!"

 Why can dead people come back to life? Why is everyone helping her?

How to behave in the world, how to gain a foothold in this world, how to be kind to others... these are all survival strategies he taught her!

“Because I am being a human being, and Uncle Wang is pretending to be a human being.”

I don’t want to be disdainful to be a real person, kill all the irrational things in human nature, and force myself to stay absolutely clear and rational all the time——

If he hadn't forced himself to stay rational and tried to believe his absurd intuition once, he might have discovered that she was Li Shang. It was his morbid reason that pulled him back from the edge of the truth countless times.

“In the final analysis, it’s all because Uncle Wang is too cowardly.”

Because of inner fear, I will kill myself who is not calm, rational, and sober, and force myself to plan everything clearly and objectively at all times, as if this is safe.

 A person who is outside of human nature is destined to lose to human nature.

"Cowardice, I'm coward, it's a joke..." Li Yin put one hand on the ground, lowered his head and let out a weird low laugh. He trembled and closed his eyes, saying: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, you go ahead."

 It would be considered honorable to die in the hands of the next emperor.

 The gun wind roared, but Li Yin did not open his eyes.

The death he imagined did not come. The sharp spearhead cut off the crown of his hair, and half of his hair was also cut off. The remaining hair was immediately disheveled and hit his face, causing him to open his eyes suddenly.

“Uncle Wang has always liked dignity, but what he has done has not brought dignity to Dasheng Jiangshan and his people, so I can no longer give dignity to Uncle Wang.”

 The way she respects her opponents is to kill them with her own hands, but Li Yin is not an opponent worthy of her respect.

Li Suining raised his gun and turned around: "I will treat Uncle Wang the same way he treats people in the world."

Li Yin finally came to his senses and stood up suddenly: "...You can't! You can't!"

 Two soldiers pressed Li Yin down again. Li Yin looked like a madman with his messy hair. He looked at Li Suining's back and finally roared out of control.

Li Lu, who was also restrained and kneeling on the ground, finally laughed out loud as he saw this, his laughter getting louder and heartier.

 King Rong was roaring out of control, and Prince Rong's son was laughing. The father and son made a ridiculous and ironic ending to the chaos in Gyeonggi.

Li Suining handed the spear to shepherd's purse, got on his horse, and headed back slowly toward the imperial city along the way he came.

When passing by Xuanwu Gate, Li Suining dismounted, and Wei Shuyi, who was waiting there, stepped forward to salute, holding a jade seal supported by bright yellow silk cloth in his hand.

They were taken out of the palace by Li Yin's order. Later, there was a betrayal at Fanglin Gate. In the chaos, some of Li Yin's men fled, and the jade seal was also taken away. They were later chased back in the city by Li Suining's men.

 “It will be kept by Prime Minister Wei for the time being.”

Li Suining stopped riding and walked instead.

Wei Shuyi followed her and said, "The big deal has been decided. Congratulations to Your Highness."

She looked around at the **** mess and said to him in a trusting tone: "Mr. Wei, please take a good look at it for me and take note of what you saw today. This is the best congratulation to me."

Wei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, his heart was suddenly touched, and then he lowered his head slightly and responded solemnly: "Yes, I must pay close attention and remember it carefully."

 Make a note of today, and don’t let this country make the same mistake again.

Wei Shuyi looked at the woman's thin but straight back, and then raised his head to look at the moon. The moon was the crescent moon of Mount Emei, and the light moonlight shone on her shoulders. She walked through the quiet palace corridor with the moonlight.

Wei Shuyi thought that in the future, history books would probably write down in detail how she walked through this place on this day.

 If he were to write it, how would he write it?

 Wei Shuyi felt that he should think carefully and make preparations early.
