Laughing at Chang'an

The clouds circulating in the sky don't know where they are going in a blink of an eye, just like fate in this world, unpredictable and fleeting.

Between half-brothers and half-sisters, those ice-blue eyes are surprisingly similar. The wide sleeves of the queen's gown covered Haitang's back. Li Shen gently held her shoulders, raised his head and faced Geng Yan. See.

"The wedding is about to begin." Geng Yan said, "Send the saint to the Hall of Light."

The two emperor's personal guards entered the room in response, and stood in front of Li Shen, one on the left and one on the right, and bowed to help Haitang who was still lying in his arms.In order to avoid Haitang's mental shock, they deliberately raised their heads to avoid their sight, but they happened to collide with Li Shen's single dark eye.

What kind of eyes are those... Two pairs of outstretched arms paused in the air, and the two guards who were shocked by the killing intent did not even dare to move. The man sitting in front of him was not a human being, but a trapped man. The ferocious beast living in the robes, the decayed, black and red bloody aura overflowed from its body, and the violence that almost turned into reality filled the small lounge in an instant.

Li Shen lowered his eyes, looked at Haitang lying in his arms, his eyes flicked over her eyes, nose bridge, lips... He smiled slowly.

"Wait for me." He said to her, "I will take you home."

She squinted her eyes and leaned closer, just like that night when she was holding a lantern, she whispered in his ear: "Okay."

She left his embrace, stood up, adjusted the dress on her body, ignored the emperor's personal guards beside her and even the emperor himself at the door, and walked out of the room arrogantly and indifferently.

Everything was quiet again.

Li Shen sat on the sofa, put his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, watched Haitang's back out of sight, and then looked at Geng Yan.The latter stood there blankly, stared at Li Shen for a moment, turned and left without saying a word.

Li Shen closed his eyes.

………………

The bells were like a song, and the two female officials bowed to pick up the tails of their back robes that were dragging on the ground. The female officials in white plain robes lined up in two rows and followed outside the red carpet.The people waiting outside and inside the hall looked at the figure approaching from a distance, and the first thing they noticed was not the astonishing beauty of the other person, but the heavy oppressive feeling that made people breathless , It feels like being held in the throat by a sharp and cold blade, which makes the hair stand on end and chills down the spine.

His Majesty the Emperor is marrying a queen?It is clearly a fierce god.

Geng Yan stood at the top of the Great Bright Hall, staring at Li Shen who was walking towards him without blinking.This situation was too dreamlike, so unreal that even he was a little absent-minded.

In ten years, who was it and who was captured?

He stared greedily at Li Shen's face, crossing the banks of life and death, passing through the narrow gap of time, love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, trust and deceit, beautiful, ugly, brilliant, dark... … engraved into the soul, an indelible mark.

Geng Yan stretched out his hand to Li Shen.

—I left you with nothing.

- I give you my all.

Li Shen raised his head.

— took that hand.

The warmth of the palm, the persistent and focused eyes, the suffocating love.When the gods stepped down from the altar, they showed a devil-like crazy face, which was sad, ridiculous, and pitiful.Everything is an illusion and a lie. The hand stretched out from the abyss wants to pull him down.

In the past ten years, who is it and who has changed?

Under the gaze of everyone, countless undercurrents surged, and at the end of the long scarlet blanket, a soft halo enveloped the two people holding hands.Time loses the meaning of existence at this moment, they stand on the other side of the world, and each other is the only truth.

"In the light of heaven, I swear to serve the man in front of me with all my heart and soul. He is my king, my husband, and everything to me. My body and mind belong to him, and my will and soul are under his control. I Swear to love him, respect him, assist him, follow him forever..."

The old prince under the stage took out his pocket watch and opened the cover. The hands on the dial were heading towards twelve o'clock.He looked at the two people standing and kneeling on the podium, let out a silent breath, and buckled the cover of the watch.

The silver watch chain drew shining traces in the air, and the old pocket watch flew out of the crowd watching the ceremony and fell to the stage.

Geng Yan turned his head and glanced at the flying pocket watch, the emperor's personal guards hidden in the dark were like phantoms, one rushed towards the falling pocket watch, and the other rushed towards the old duke in the crowd.Li Shen, who was reciting the oath, raised his head slightly, and from the corner of his gaze, he passed the people in the hall, and saw a very familiar figure outside the hall door.

On the flying pocket watch, the second hand was firmly aligned with twelve o'clock.

Countless beams of bright light rushed out from the Great Light Palace, and the entire imperial capital shook with a huge roar, symbolizing the supreme palace of the Great Bright Palace, which was declared to be wiped out at this moment.

………………

Chaos, extreme chaos.

A layer of dark blue shield shaped like an eggshell was wrapped around Li Shen's body. The moment the explosion happened, his feet were empty, and his whole body suddenly fell down.Immediately, a berserk source swept over, and one hand forcibly tore apart the dark blue eggshell equivalent to six layers of 3S-level energy barriers, firmly grasped his left wrist, and pulled him out forcefully.

It is Geng Yan.

The white and gorgeous dress on his body was in pieces, and the adjutant ordered the super-weight explosives from Lu Cang, the youngest university student in Donggong. Even the altar could not keep his face in this brutal explosion. In his left hand, there is a volcano on the verge of eruption in his icy blue eyes.

He was furious like never before.

Li Shen heard the sound of his own bones being crushed abruptly. The person who set up the explosion still underestimated Geng Yan, but it may be that he was concerned about his safety and did not dare to increase the intensity of the explosion.But in the end, it fell short.

This was all just for a moment, and in the next moment, a sharp light that pierced the line of sight suddenly flashed between the two of them, and scarlet blood gushed out from Li Shen's severed left arm. Fall down.

Haitang held the blood-dripping long sword, stood on the edge of the cave, turned her face slightly, and looked at the fallen Li Shen.She didn't smile at him, nor did she show a sad expression, she just watched quietly, watching him disappear.

Then the whole person exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

In the falling blood, Geng Yan suddenly let out a howl like a beast, and hit the ground with a heavy fist.The imperial capital, which had just experienced a violent earthquake, was shaken again. His hands were on the edge of the small hole, and the ground was torn apart by the violent force. The huge crack penetrated the Great Light Palace, endlessly facing Extend further.

Geng Yan tore the entire imperial capital in half.

Everyone who witnessed this scene with their own eyes understands that their Emperor, His Majesty, has lost his mind.

………………

Taking the Daguangming Palace as the midpoint, across the imperial palace in the center, the imperial capital is divided into two from northeast to southwest, like a piece of cake cut by a saw knife. The shockingly huge crack on the ground is invisible at a glance. terrible.

The emperor ordered a blockade of thousands of miles around, and opened up every inch of the land to search for the whereabouts of the queen.More than [-] important officials of the empire and royal relatives and nobles were killed in the explosion on the wedding day, and Duke Lin Lu, who was a major suspect, was ransacked and beheaded, killing the nine clans.

No matter how much Geng Yan dug three feet, he couldn't find Li Shen, who was actually in the imperial capital at this moment, in a secret room hidden underground.No matter how crazy Geng Yan is, it is impossible to hollow out the entire underground of the imperial capital. This secret room, which is made of meteoric iron from outside the sky, can completely isolate the source energy from detection, and supplemented by alchemy's brilliant blinding method, has become a secret room under strict search. blind spot.

Above the secret room is a time-honored tailor shop. The owner is an old woman over sixty years old. She has lived in the imperial capital all her life, and her identity is beyond doubt.After Li Shen was sent into the secret room, the only person he could see every day was the old woman. She never took the initiative to say anything, and she would only answer when he asked.

In a blink of an eye, it was three days.

On this day, Li Shen asked her as usual if there was any news about the Holy Maiden of Light, but the old woman still replied no, and then he strangled her neck.

"Have I ever told you that I hate being cheated by others?" Li Shen restrained the irritability in his heart, slowly released his hand from the other party's neck, and asked again: "Answer me, what about the Holy Maiden of Light?" gone?"

The old woman was silent.

She refused to say that something happened, and Li Shen guessed that it was probably because Geng Yan couldn't find him, so he threatened Haitang's life to throw himself into a trap.He braced his head hard, there was no choice at all, and he was vaguely worried, according to Haitang's temperament, most likely she would rather die than be used by Geng Yan... When he was hesitating here, she might already be looking for death up.

The entrance of the secret room was suddenly opened from the outside, and a figure came in, and the adjutant who had recovered his original face said, "The emperor wants to publicly execute the Holy Maiden of Light, Hevira Shu'en, but this is a fake show, Lord Shen."

He didn't lie, Li Shen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but the adjutant's next sentence knocked him back into the abyss.

"Mrs. Haitang is dead. Three days ago, Geng Yan personally killed her in the Great Bright Palace."

It's... the truth.

"The public execution will be tomorrow, and then I will arrange someone to pretend to be you to act in a play to disrupt the situation, and we will take this opportunity to leave the imperial capital." The adjutant said calmly, "Master, this is not the time to be sad, you need to cheer up. "

Li Shen swayed, took two steps back, and sat back on the chair.His mind was buzzing, filled with all kinds of voices and wrong images, and after a while, they gradually disappeared.

Nothing left.
