Spring and autumn

The first snowfall in Xinjing this year came quickly, and the blood-colored belts were very eye-catching in the snowflakes flying all over the sky.The gate of the city was opened, and the soldiers following the general's banner poured into the city in a mighty manner, rushing into the palace against the wind and snow.

"Go! You all go!" After the guards were withdrawn and the courtiers were driven away, Zhao Xu stood in the court hall, brandishing the sword representing the princes and frantically chasing the people in the hall. With long hair loose in the robe, he turned around and pointed his sword at Zhi Yan who was standing on the steps with a cold face, "Zhi Yan, you go too!"

Compared with the palace servants who fled in all directions, Zhiyan was not afraid of his sword, and stared coldly at his embarrassed body and said: "Your Majesty will always be Your Majesty, and soldiers coming to the city are of course unchangeable. Even in the face of ruin, Your Majesty You should also look like a king!"

"This is not ruin, this is the destruction of the country!" Zhao Xu roared loudly, "This position is not mine at all, and I should have given up a long time ago! It is my own obsession, and I must fight fate to the death. I failed to do this mainstay well... I am ashamed of Jin, but what is wrong with you? You go, don't follow me to be buried by Jin, it is Jin who is sorry for you, you saved Xun Yao, if it is Jin Guang Come in first, he will let you go..."

His voice became more and more desolate, Zhigan listened intently, and took a step forward.The approach of a few inches aroused Zhao Xu's resistance, he fixed his hand holding the sword, and emphasized again: "You go!"

"I won't leave." Zhiyan raised his head to meet his sword, "I am Duke Jin's wife, your wife! I will not leave here, and I will never leave you!"

"You have always had Jin Guang in your heart, and you still have the face to say that you are my wife?" Zhao Xu laughed lowly, with an expression like he was sinking into a madman, making it hard to understand whether he was still awake or not, Zhiyan didn't expect He would say that suddenly, and looked up at him in disbelief, only to see his eyes widen, with hatred written on his face, "Could it be because Jin Guang is back, and you want to rekindle your old relationship to claim credit? You This vicious woman, get out of here!"

Zhiyan was completely shocked. Although they had different positions, Zhao Xu had never said that to her. Zhiyan hurried forward and said "You..." stuck in his throat, and Zhao Xu's sword had already struck mercilessly. Cut off half of the hair, and a few soft hairs just fluttered to the ground - that was a betrayal of the knotted hair.

"Get out!" Zhao Xu pushed the dazed Zhiyan behind the screen, a roar echoed in the hall, and the heavy door had already been broken open.

The wind and snow swept in from the open palace door. Zhao Xu instinctively reached out to block it, but saw a gloomy man slowly walking in from the door. "General Against the Great General" and the big banner with the edict on it, the blood color on the white background flutters in the wind, and the spearhead on the flag is cold to the bone.

Zhao Xu lifted his lips and smiled contemptuously: "Jin Guang..."

Jin Guang didn't answer, and approached step by step with a flag in one hand. The wind and snow followed him and froze the hall that was emptied by Zhao Xu.Zhao Xu looked behind him unhurriedly, sneered even worse, and said eccentrically, "Yingdu, he really didn't follow you in?"

Jin Guang paused, stopped at His Majesty Jie, looked up at Zhao Xu who was looking down on him with a face of pity, after a slight start, his cold gaze was without any emotion.

"Yingdu..." Zhao Xu said the name again with aftertaste, staring at Jin Guang who was stepping up the steps step by step, and sighed, "His nature of crossing rivers and destroying bridges has really not changed at all. Hey, I said, the same It's a donkey that was killed when the mill was unloaded, do you want to hear some kind words from the dying man?"

"When a person is about to die, his words are not necessarily good. If there is an opportunity to quibble to save his life, who would let it go easily?" Jin Guang had already stood on the steps, only two steps away from Zhao Xu, and held his hand in his hand. Daqi threw a club on the ground, "Do you think I will believe what you say?"

"I know you want to kill me for revenge. Some crimes are mine and I have to admit them, but some crimes are not mine. Would it be satisfying for you to just admit death like this?" Zhao Xu faced Jin Guang's cold eyes. , Saying so, he threw down the sword.

From the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the sword he threw, endured the journey, and his cold appearance was about to be unable to conceal the anger that was about to rush out. After struggling for so many years, the enemy finally appeared in front of him, and Jin Guang only felt a heavy heart. It was unbearable, and the banner spear in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, so it was difficult to complete this final blow.

"What else do you want to say?" Zhao Xu could see the forbearance trembling on his face when he was close, "It's all thanks to you that I became like this. You are the one who killed Ziren's family. You are the elder brother, the world is in chaos, and you are the one who started it!"

"The world is already confused, and I'm just a loser who tried to turn the tide!" Zhao Xu actually had the courage to refute, and under Jin Guang's eyes that were about to ignite, he confessed word by word, "I recognize everything else, but Jin You, I didn't kill it."

"Didn't you kill it?" Jin Guang seemed to have heard a big joke, and said contemptuously, "Do you still want to tell me that you are not a traitor but a loyal minister, and everything you do is for Jin? "

"You're right, I was the one who killed Xun Huiman's family, even if I wanted to say that, I can't get over my conscience!" Zhao Xu roared eagerly, "But Jin You, if I wanted to kill him, I would have done so before You killed him when you rebelled, how could you keep him as the emperor and issue you an imperial edict, and at this time give you the excuse?"

"You still know that your conscience is uneasy! How did your brother treat you all the time, how can you bear to attack him!" Jin Guang roared out uncontrollably, pointing at Zhao Xu, his eyes full of hatred were flushed, "Brother is dead, Ziren is dead, Han Lu is dead, you still want Yaoer..."

"Xian Gong treated me like a brother. I just couldn't bear to do something to him, so I dragged out this big group of people who had to do it!" Zhao Xu actually interrupted Jin Guang's words, not afraid of the flashing death. Staring at him who was stunned by the yelling, he smiled bitterly, "I know you don't believe me, so I have to explain it now. I don't intend to ask for your forgiveness, but I hate that you are still in the dark, and I still don't believe you." The reason why I want to live without dignity like this and see you again is because Xiaoguang, you were also raised by me!"

Jin Guang was stunned when he heard it, and was at a loss for his strange expression while holding the flag.

Zhao Xu nodded and closed his eyes, with a relieved smile on his lips, he said solemnly: "This is the end of the matter, I just hope you don't blame Zhiyan for hating me. She liked you, and life with me is not good. , she is determined to do her duty as a wife to atone for my sins, but how can my sins be redeemed? You won’t believe anything I say now, but you will understand when you walk out of this temple. A little bit of power to speak, I ask you to do your best to protect her."

What he said was unclear, Jin Guang was still in a daze, Zhao Xu had rushed forward with such a relieved smile, Jin Guang only felt that the flag in his hand sank, and the hand under the spearhead had touched To something tender and sticky.

Zhao Xu's head hangs softly on his shoulder, Jin Guang stares, his eyes are empty.

Did you make it?

Brother's revenge, Ziren's revenge, Han Lu's revenge, is this the way to avenge them?

What did Zhao Xu mean by those words?In the face of death, he was not afraid at all, and there was that weird smile when he finally rushed to the spear.

Jin Guang just felt that his heart was empty, and the goal of supporting him to live was suddenly accomplished like this. It was he who killed his enemies. Maybe those souls who fell on this road should be comforted?

But why did the chill that gradually came along with Zhao Xu's loss of body temperature surround him?Without a sense of accomplishment, suspicion and sorrow enveloped the entire hall, which made Jin Guang unable to recover for a long time.

The woman who appeared beside the screen witnessed this bloody scene, and her face was already pale when she rushed up.

"Zhao Xu!"

A loud shout pulled Jin Guang's mind back, and the hand holding the flag seemed to gain strength again. He pulled out the spearhead from Zhao Xu's body with all his strength, and the uncoagulated blood splashed out, staining Huagui red. carpet.

Holding the bloody flag, Jin Guang watched the poor woman hugging Zhao Xu's body like crazy, without giving him a single look.

"Zhiyan..." Jin Guang's voice trembled violently after the hatred was extinguished by the blood.

Zhiyan hugged Zhao Xu and raised her head, tears spread all over her face indiscriminately, she just stared at Jin Guang with unkempt hair, her eyes showed the same pity as Zhao Xu.

Jin Guang stood there blankly, and for the first time, he felt that he could not face this woman directly.

"Jin You didn't kill him." Zhiyan stared at Jin Guang, confirmed twice with his pale lips, "I don't know anything else, but Jin You didn't kill him!"

"I don't believe it!" Jin Guang roared in a low voice, seeing that Zhiyan smiled contemptuously when he heard him say that, then slowly reached out to pick up Duke Jin's sword thrown away by Zhao Xu, and asked again in despair , "How did brother die? Did you guys get cheated or I got cheated! Tell me!"

"It doesn't matter, if there is no evidence, there is nothing to say. Death is the way to get rid of everything. What's the use of entanglement?" Zhiyan didn't look at him again, but tried to stand still, stroking the sword in his hand, the long sword On the side, it is shining brightly at this moment.

"Zhi Qing, he deserves to die, but why do you bother to be buried for him?" As if knowing what she was going to do, Jin Guang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but Zhi Qing immediately took a step back to distance herself.

Jin Guang frowned, but she held up her sword and smiled.

"Zhiyan!" Jin Guang called her name, his hand holding the flag trembled violently, tears welled up in his eyes, "Too many people died in front of me, I don't want to see innocent people die anymore!"

"It's better to have the right to die than to lose everything. It's Han Lu who told me that death isn't that terrible. When this place called home turns into a dead city, maybe it's the best place to end up here." Good choice." Zhiyan smiled as brightly as she did when she was a girl, and looked down at Zhao Xu on the ground, with a tenderness in her eyes that she hadn't seen in a long time, "Now, I also see my husband waving to me on the other side. "

She slayed herself so decisively, Jin Guang threw away the flag and rushed up, but it was too late to grab her sword, only to see her body fall powerlessly in front of him, but he didn't have the strength to reach out to catch it.

Dazedly, he wiped the blood on his face, which was getting colder and colder.

"Edict of the Son of Heaven—"

Immediately there was a shrill cry from outside the hall. The soldiers of the Qin Army who came in fully armed were still covered in snow. Jin Guang stood in front of Duke Jin's seat and turned his head. There is no trace of Du, only to see the person who came out with a cold face to announce the decree.

"Emperor's Edict: Since I know that my fate will not be long, after ten thousand years, my younger brother Guang can inherit the great rule. After I ascend the throne, I will be the emperor!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

A muffled shout from the hall made Jin Guang's mind go blank. He lowered his head to look at the impotent banner on the steps that could no longer fly, and fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
