Haiyan

The Western Han Dynasty is located in the southwest, and summer comes and goes quickly. It is not yet October, and the day is getting colder and colder.

The wind blows very low tonight, and the candles blown through the cracks of the window are flickering. The palace guards on duty carefully protect the weakened flames with glass lamps. Even so, the light and shadow are still in the huge palace. Shaking more than ever.

"Give me all the energy to serve me. If something goes wrong, watch your heads carefully!"

The Chief Steward spoke with a thin throat, his tone was a bit stronger than usual, but the tone was much lower. At this moment, a huge cough suddenly came from the inner hall, the voice was old and hoarse, with a trace of dilapidated Unbearable piecemeal metaphor.

"Elder-in-law, do you want to teach the imperial physician?" The young eunuch wanted to seize this rare opportunity to perform, but Ge Jingjing stared back and scolded: "Are you afraid that you have eaten the guts of a leopard?! The Fifth Highness is How did you order, at this time, it is said that the imperial physician, you want to die, but I don't want to die!"

The little eunuch bowed his waist and whispered: "But...but the people in there are..."

Ge Jingjing hurriedly pinched his arm, interrupted him and said: "Remember it, don't care who is sleeping in there now. Now His Royal Highness is in charge of all the power and government in the palace, whoever dares to brush him Even if it’s him.” Ge Jingjing glanced at the inner hall with her small eyes, and said sharply: “It’s not okay either!”

"But......"

"You're a fart! You don't know how many days the one inside will live. Why, you really want to drag that half-dead dragon's tail to touch the current dragon's head that covers the sky with one hand?!"

The little eunuch was too frightened to make a sound, and wanted to say something, but was scolded by Ge Jingjing.

The hall was extremely quiet, the night enveloped the hall in peace, and the dim candlelight made it even more apparent that the surrounding area was vast and boundless. From time to time, violent panting and moaning came out of the inner hall. Put it down gently.

Gently bowing in the direction of the inner hall, two lines of tears were already in the corners of his eyes, the old man who had served in the Hall of Eternal Life for more than thirty years slowly choked up and said: "Your Majesty, I am sorry for you."

After speaking, he shook his head heavily, flicked the whisk in his hand, and walked out of the hall slowly with light steps.

In the Tai'e Hall, a handsome young man in a fine attire dialed the wick with a gold stick in his hand. His long, thin eyes were illuminated by the light so enchantingly that the palace maid standing beside him held a lampshade in his hand , After a long while, I heard the young man ask: "What happened to the things I ordered the Wuji Hall to prepare last time?"

There was no sound in the hall, but when he spoke suddenly, it startled the palace people around him.

"Your Highness means...?" He asked subconsciously, but for no reason, his brows twitched when he was frightened by the peripheral vision of the man in Chinese clothes, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, if you go back to Your Highness, those corpse oils have already disappeared. After refining everything, it will be stored in the Wuji Hall, if His Highness wants it now, I will send someone to get it."

Zhao Yuqiang smiled lightly at the candlelight, his handsome face was full of evil, and said: "Go and get some, the wick soaked in this shark oil is not as good as human oil, but it will last forever..."

The palace man shuddered quietly, and replied: "Yes, I will go there now, servant girl."

"Wait." Zhao Yuqiang stopped him and asked, "Is there any news from the Palace of Eternal Life?"

Palace man: "Return to Your Highness, Eunuch Ge has been guarding at the Palace of Longevity, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he...is still the same."

Zhao Yuqiang turned around, and the bright blue silk brocade gown looked very eye-catching at this moment. He snorted, with a very casual expression, and asked, "Oh? Didn't it say when that old thing will die?"

The whole body of the palace man tensed up, and he whispered: "No...never."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhao Yuqiang's face, and he subconsciously said: "Life is really long..." He waved his hand, "Go, take the things here and light them up later, if I get up in the morning and find out that there is something wrong in this hall When a light goes out, you know what happens."

Before the palace man could reply, he let out a long laugh and walked away. After a while, the palace man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly left the hall.

Meng Jian woke up in a dilapidated wooden house behind the Gyeonggi Hall. His whole body was wrapped in white bandages like a rice dumpling, and he felt excruciating pain when he moved a little.

At this time, the moon had already set in the west, and the room was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. However, Meng Jian still saw the tall figure standing by the window.

No need to guess, everyone knows who it is.

"Who allows you to do this thankless thing again in a hypocritical manner?!"

When he spoke, his throat was dry and cracked as if being pulled by something. As soon as he made a sound, he coughed continuously, and the wounds on his whole body trembled.

After he finished coughing hard and was already sweating, the man said without turning his head: "Without me, you would have died nine years ago. If you really hate me so much, why don't you save me?" You should end it yourself! Why have you lingered for so many years?!"

Mengjiao was taken aback, then sneered suddenly: "You don't have to use these words to provoke me, don't you know better than me why I am alive?"

Li Su slightly turned his head and said, "I'm not interested in knowing what you're going to do. If it wasn't for the sake of the past, even if you died ten times, I wouldn't even bother to pay attention to you."

This is true.Meng Jian thought, Li Su has always been indifferent to foreign affairs. When he didn't know him before, he only thought that this person was cold and didn't like to talk. After observing it over the years, he was indeed as cold inside as he appeared on the outside. pole.

"Once upon a time?" Meng Jian's chapped lips and teeth bit these two words with extreme hatred, "I don't know, what does Proton mean by once upon a time?!"

In private, he never called Li Su by other names, but always called him a proton, because he wanted to let him understand that Li Su's subordinates paid a lot for the shame of being defeated.

The person by the window was unmoved at all, and only said indifferently: "You can still compete with me here, which means that you will not die for a while. Since you are still alive, then save your humble life and wait for a chance in the future." Find me to vent your resentment over the years, but before that, I want to advise you."

He turned around slowly, his whole body hidden in the darkness, and said: "Only stupid people will do things that are not sure, I hope you can be smart, otherwise, I am really sorry for what I have saved all these years Come back the wretched bastard!"

He left after speaking, and shouted: "Stop!"

Li Su sneered, "You seem to be very unwilling? I have forgotten that you have never seemed reconciled these years."

The two stared at each other for a long time in the dark, and then Meng Jian raised his body from the dilapidated wooden bed with difficulty. During this period, the heavy wooden sound was extremely harsh in the silence. He stopped and said, "Didn't you feel indebted all these years?!"

A light laugh sounded, even though he couldn't see Li Su's expression clearly at this moment, Meng Jian could also imagine his expression at this moment, and couldn't help clenching his fists in anger, Li Su said: "Why should I feel guilty? Who do you owe? You?! Do you deserve it?"

Mengjiao said, "Who am I talking about, do you know in your heart?"

Li Su's face darkened, and he said, "Why don't you tell me and let me hear?"

Meng Jian panted heavily, but he couldn't say the name after all.

Li Su's patience was exhausted, and he said coldly: "As long as you use your brain before doing something, and blindly rely on brute force to solve the problem, sooner or later you don't know where you will die. The last step, the only one who regrets it is you!"

Seeing that he felt that he would never stop, he said anxiously: "Do you still remember Chang Sheng?!"

The person who was about to reach out to push the door suddenly stopped, and subconsciously turned around to look at him again. Meng Jian could clearly feel the coldness of the air around him to the bottom, but he still couldn't help but continued: "Did you not feel that in your heart all these years?" A trace of guilt towards Changsheng?! If he hadn’t rescued you from the prison in Beidu back then, do you think you can still stand here and mock me now? Li Su, don’t forget, back then Changsheng sincerely You treat him as a friend, but how did you treat him? These years, have you ever thought of how kind he is to you?!"

After he finished speaking in one breath, his whole body was exhausted, and he leaned against the cold wall behind him to breathe hard.

Li Su didn't move for a long time as if he was frozen, and Meng Jian continued: "If it wasn't for saving you back then, his companion named Dahu wouldn't have died, and Ah Tie's whereabouts are still unknown. There is Chang Sheng... If you could have killed those Han soldiers back then, maybe he can still live well now! It’s all because of you, Li Su, all because of you!”

There was a muffled sound of 'bang' suddenly, Meng raped only felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, it was Li Su who suddenly stepped forward and hit him hard in the abdomen, he grunted with difficulty, and Li Su lifted him up The collar said coldly: "Even if I did something unforgivable, you, a lowly slave, can't criticize it at will. Be aware of your own situation and identity. If you dare to say such things from your mouth again, don't blame me." No mercy!"

Meng Jian sneered and said: "The proton dare not do anything, but just stares at me, a low-status slave? Do you feel guilty? Or something else? No matter how much you do now, those who lost There is no coming back..."

Suddenly there was a drizzle of rain in the sky, pattering on Li Su's blue clothes, Ah Cheng covered his head with a bamboo fractured paper umbrella, and asked, "Second Master, should we go back home?"

Li Su pushed Ah Cheng's hand holding the umbrella away, and when he looked up, his eyes were iron gray, and the stars were scattered around the thin moon, looking a little pitiful. Standing quietly at the side, after a while, the rain became more and more heavy, hitting down like peas, and soon merged into small streams along the stone road and flowed along the road.

It wasn't until his whole body was soaked that he asked Ah Cheng: "Is there any news from Mr. Ruan?"

Ah Cheng: "Not yet, but it should be soon."

Li Su: "What day is it today?"

Ah Cheng thought for a while before saying, "September 29."

Li Su took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Is there any new news from the palace?"

Ah Cheng said solemnly: "The Hall of Eternal Life has been locked up by His Highness Fifth, and no idlers are allowed to enter. Now only Ge Jingjing can enter, but it is also to check the movement of that person at any time, and pass a message to His Highness Fifth." Believe it or not. But Erye, there is no news, I am afraid it is the worst news. Now that Emperor Longwu is dying, the imperial physicians here are not allowed to come in for diagnosis and treatment. There is no more supply, the most is to feed some porridge in the morning and evening, and hang your life. After all, you suddenly starved to death, and it is not easy to explain to outsiders. It must be a few days before this works or not... .”

Li Su asked: "What does father mean? Don't worry about it or what?"

Ah Cheng said: "Your Majesty Taiwei has not made a decision yet, but the other clans couldn't hold back. They went to the Tai'a Hall to crusade at noon today, and were almost beheaded by the guards at the gate."

Li Su snorted coldly and said: "Overestimating one's own strength! The situation in the Western Han Dynasty is now in chaos, and the forces behind Zhao Yuqiang have many clan relatives besides the powerful family. Who dares to stand in line at this time, I am afraid that everyone will be killed." It's too short!"

He thought about it for a while, and told Ah Cheng: "Once there is a letter from Mr. Ruan in the past few days, bring it to me immediately. In addition, how is the investigation on the matter in Liang Guoying's mansion?"

Ah Cheng said earnestly: "There is already a sliver of definite news that the person is definitely locked up in his house, but we haven't found the exact location yet, and we have to wait for some time."

Li Su didn't speak anymore, the rain slowly flowed into his collar along his temples, and his whole body was completely soaked from top to bottom. I can't bear it, but I can't do anything..."

The wind blows and rains against the ground, swinging between the gray sky, there are countless invisible long arrows at the end, which are approaching this century-old empire step by step. Piercing the heart, the blood flows into a river.
