The Rebirth of the Bamboo Horse Emperor

The silence froze the air, and the two stood facing each other, speechless for a long time.

Shen Ling lowered her head guiltily, and raised it again after a while.

There was no shame in his eyes, because this matter was discussed by the two of them.It's just that when I saw him just now, I instinctively remembered that I killed his brother with my own hands.

"I still killed him."

Yan Dong paused, then nodded slightly, with a trace of pain inevitably showing in his resolute eyes.

He and Yan Dong are biological brothers, and they are both direct bloodlines of the Da Li Yan Clan. More than 20 years ago, the eldest brother proposed to the tribe to revive Dali. As the eldest son, he is equivalent to the leader of the tribe. The tribe has lived a life of fear and fear, and they all agreed.

He naturally became the best candidate to assist the eldest brother.

What followed was a step-by-step life.

But he didn't have the slightest thought of returning to the country.

The empress of Dali is mediocre, and the destruction of the country has long been a certainty.Even if there is no Jiang family, there will be other people who will replace them and obey the will of heaven to destroy the old power.What's more, under the rule of the Jiang clan, the people in the Central Plains live in a prosperous, peaceful and harmonious way. It can also be called a prosperous Qingming era, and there is really no reason for it to be overthrown.

But his brother's order cannot be disobeyed, but he does not want to do so in his heart, so when he was sent to perform a mission, he never "did his best".

It wasn't until he was sent to Lingzhou to impersonate Bai Shaoran that he decided that no matter what, Yan Li could not sit on the throne.

In order to overthrow the Jiang family, he even colluded with foreign enemies to invade the territory of the Central Plains, regardless of the overall situation.If he is really made emperor in the future, there will be no one to stop him from doing more egregious things.

So after discussing with Shen Ling, he decided to stop Yan Li.

His original words were, if you can't stop it with all your means, then kill him.

But what he didn't know was that Shen Ling didn't try to stop him, but directly killed Yan Li.

As for the reason, only Shen Ling knew it in her heart.But he didn't intend to tell Yan Dong the truth.

"sorry."

Yan Dong smiled wryly, "Don't blame yourself, it's all my idea."

"Where is the dead brother?"

Shen Ling looked at him like this, and the guilt surged in her heart again, "I was taken away by the guards." After thinking for a while, she said, "Some are still down the mountain."

Yan Dong suddenly pulled out his sword and cut off his snowy white shirt from the hem.

"You...you want to break justice with me?" Shen Ling opened her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.

Yan Dong chuckled, "What are you thinking, I always want to give an explanation to my clansmen and those who follow Big Brother."

After speaking, he glanced at the Wanzhang Canyon behind him.

Shen Ling understood, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"From now on, take care of yourself and don't have to follow me anymore. If we can see each other again in the rivers and lakes, you and I will still be brothers." After Yan Dong finished speaking, he took the clothes he had ripped off from him and jumped off to mock him. windy mountain.

Shen Ling looked at the direction he left and remained silent for a long time.

……

After the funeral of the first emperor was settled, the palace began to be busy with the enthronement of the new emperor.

Jiang Su rushed back from Chu, thousands of miles away, because his father was seriously ill. This time, Jiang Mu's enthronement ceremony is coming soon, so the return journey will naturally be delayed.

The two people in Mingyan Palace seemed to think that Jiang Mu would kill them all, so they couldn't wait to meet the first emperor.It saved Jiang Mu a lot of energy.

"Brother Huang and Yu'er will live in Xiuluan Palace tonight." After the group had dinner, Jiang Mu said to Jiang Su.

It was already late at this time, not to mention that it was the place where he lived with his mother and concubine in the palace before, so he did not refuse his younger brother's kindness and agreed.

"Mother, where is Lin'er?" Jiang Mu said to Concubine Chen again. Now that he is the emperor, Concubine Chen should naturally be the Queen Mother.

"I'll be back early tomorrow morning." Then he got up and said, "You follow me."

Jiang Mu glanced at his mother in astonishment, and felt that what she was going to talk about was a problem that had troubled him for many years.

"Yes." Jiang Mu followed, turned to look at Gu Jue and instructed, "Go to Qingxin Hall and wait for me, it won't be long."

Gu Jue looked at him and nodded slightly. He had never seen such a serious concubine Chen, so he couldn't help but worry.

"Brother, brother!"

Gu Jue was called back by this crisp sound, and saw Jiang Yu looking up at him with clear and clear eyes, only then did he realize that his brother was calling him.

"What are you thinking, brother?"

Gu Jue laughed, and softly praised, "I was thinking, Yu'er is really brave today."

His Highness the Prince-to-be heard that he was praising him, his eyes became brighter, and he wanted to say something more.

Jiang Mingyuan called his son with a smile, "This is uncle, not brother!"

Although it is more appropriate to be called aunt or queen mother.

Xiao Jiangyu looked at his father, then turned his head to look at "brother", and said stubbornly, "but my brother is good-looking, better than third uncle and father!"

So it's my brother who looks good.

The suave and suave His Royal Highness the King of Chu was being compared to his own son at this moment, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He restrained the corners of his mouth from twitching, and patiently explained, "This good-looking 'brother' is the third uncle's wife, so he also needs to be called uncle, you know?"

Jiang Yu bit his finger suspiciously, "But my father said that my uncle's wife should be called aunt?"

His Highness the King of Chu: "..."

His Royal Highness: "..."

Sometimes it's not good for a son to be too smart.

Jiang Muhai returned to the Hall of Qingxin, his face remained unchanged, and he did not mention to Gu Jue the conversation with Concubine Chen in Fengxi Palace.

"We have more important things, come on." When Gu Jue asked, Jiang Mu hurriedly led him to the study.

Gu Jue didn't know why, but he knew his intention immediately, because the Nishang Sword was lying on the desk with the memorial.

He unconsciously clenched the Dongxi sword around his waist.

Jiang Mu held the Nishang Sword in his hand, and asked in the sea of ​​knowledge, "Grandpa Huang, how can we save Huaixi, please tell grandson."

Grandpa was awake all the time, so he answered him immediately.

When the Dongxi Sword was first forged, the person who forged the sword was a weapon idiot, and he loved weapons to the point of madness.When he heard that Tai Zu was going to rebel, not only did he not panic, but he was very happy, and promised that Tai Zu would forge the best weapons in the world for him and help him accomplish his great cause.

Tai Zu was naturally very pleasantly surprised and grateful, but he did not see the craftsman appear on the day he took the sword. Even after Tai Zu ruled the country, he sent people to look for it, and he was never seen again.

After Tai Zu passed away, he was always thinking about this gloomy country in his heart, and in the end, unconsciously, his soul was locked in this Dongxi and neon clothes.It wasn't until then that he was surprised to see the man who forged the sword again.

There is a different space in the sword that can accommodate about four people, and that person stood in front of him and told him what happened back then.

In order to make the weapon he built invincible, he poured his heart and soul into it after it was forged.In this way, the sword has a soul, and it can exist in the world forever.But he only had time to forge one of the swords, and he had no time to forge the other.

The original intention of the swordsmith was to forge two fierce swords, but Nishang has spirits, but Dongxi does not.

And Tai Zu's soul will only be awakened when two swords exist at the same time.

Therefore, the Dongxi Sword is extremely fierce, and will continue to absorb the painstaking efforts of the person holding the sword, until finally devouring the soul of the person.But after being swallowed once, it will be stable for a period of ten years or even decades, it all depends on the heart and skill of the person being swallowed.

In other words, the reason why Huaixi is safe now is because Dong Xijian has not yet awakened.

Jiang Mu was silent for a long time after hearing what Grandpa said.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him continue, "So to completely suppress the fierceness in Dongxi Sword, I have a way at present, but..."

"Grandfather, please tell me, grandson will figure out a way." Jiang Mu said impatiently.

"Only by finding the most auspicious thing in the world can we neutralize the evil, and I have lived for so many years, but I have only seen a kind of fruit called Zeyu, which is transformed from the aura of heaven and earth, and it is the most auspicious thing. A hundred years ago It bears fruit once, and it will come soon..."

Before His Majesty Tai Zu finished speaking, he felt the unspeakable joy in his grandson's heart, so he stopped talking in doubt.

Jiang Mu was indeed immersed in great joy at the moment.

It turned out that Zeyu could really save Huaixi!

Excited, Jiang Mu immediately threw away the Nishang Sword in his hand, and grabbed the person who had been obediently waiting for him into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

He repeated over and over again, "Great, Huaixi, I finally have a way to save you, I won't lose you again, Huaixi, Huaixi..."

I thought it would take another ordeal to save him, and I even made the worst plan...

God really treated him kindly.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is like a child who has regained a treasure, with all his emotions written on his face.

The hot and humid current flowed directly from the shoulders to the tip of Gu Jue's heart.Of course he understood why the person in his arms was crying.

It's great to be by his side all the time in the future, not to leave him suddenly.

A warm feeling rose in Gu Jue's heart, even if there was no gap between the two of them, he still wanted to hug him tighter.Jiang Mu suddenly let go, and gently kissed his lips with clear tears on his face.

The joy at the beginning of rebirth, the concern of being separated for ten years, the heartache of gaining and losing... came together, and Jiang Mu didn't know what to say to express his feelings.

Gu Huaixi would not understand how much pain, joy and happiness Jiang Mu felt in his heart.He can no longer bear the second loss.

Fortunately, in the end, this person was still his own, and was not taken away by heaven again.

True lost and found.
