emperor and dragon

When the blood splashed on the ground, Long Rui knew that everything had come to an end.

"Don't worry, your son, I will help you get back."

Since the day when he diagnosed Xue Chan, Long Rui knew that the person who poisoned him was Qiu Ji, the imperial physician Qiu Minyu, who had just cut his own throat in front of him to apologize.At the same time, Long Rui also knew that Church was not voluntary.Because Long Rui saw guilt, annoyance and conflict in his eyes, if he voluntarily, Long Rui would see something in his eyes.

Long Rui already knew who was behind the scenes.After Tan Yinhong fell asleep beside him, Long Rui got up and took out some papers from somewhere, and sorted out a small stack.Then put on a dark overcoat, follow the night, and go out the door.

When Long Rui stopped his footsteps in the darkness, he had already arrived at the gate of Confucius Mansion.That's right, today, he will assassinate Kong Beilin.

Xue Chan has just recovered a little, and it is when he is weak. Long Rui must do something to prevent Kong Beilin from taking advantage of the inside. guilt as a cover.

Long Rui easily jumped into Kong Ling's bedroom. Just as Long Rui's dagger stabbed Kong Ling on the bed, Kong Ling suddenly opened his eyes to avoid Long Rui's surprise attack, and drew a dagger from under the pillow for self-defense.But how could Kong Ling compare to Long Rui's speed?But everything was not as smooth as Long Rui imagined. When he stabbed the dagger into Kong Ling's heart, he saw the shape of Kong Ling's mouth that wanted to shout and those sinister smiles before he died. Long Rui realized that At that time, his junior had already been severely cut open by a knife.

Long Rui still avoided the vital point.He looked back: "Xuan Kong!"

"It's you!"

The two voices sounded at the same time. It turned out that the recluse Xuan Kong reappeared because Kong Ling entrusted Xuan Kong to protect him.

Fate is really ridiculous.

"I won't kill you, you are kind to me."

Long Rui is not a hypocritical person either: "Thank you."

Suddenly, Xuan Kong asked Long Rui: "Where's your inner alchemy?"

Long Rui froze for a moment, but finally smiled helplessly.Or was it seen?But Long Rui didn't answer, and Xuan Kong finally ignited his anger when he saw Long Rui's familiar acquiescence.Although Buddhism should be mediocre, he finally broke the precepts.

"When I saw you before, I found out that you pulled out your protective heart scales. Now, you are even willing to give away your inner alchemy! Long Rui, how obsessed are you going to be!"

Obsessed with it?Maybe.All his life, he was only obsessed with Xue Chan.Protecting heart scales, inner alchemy, dragon blood, or life, as long as it is for Xue Chan, he will give it anything.He has lost his heart a long time ago, so what is he afraid of losing?

Xuan Kong knew that Long Rui was paranoid about Xue Chan, but he was still angry with him.

"Do you know that if a dragon that loses its protective heart scales dies in human form, unless the gods bless it, it will not be reincarnated! You will never see him again in your next life!"

Losing the protective heart scales and sending out the inner alchemy, Long Rui could no longer change his form freely. Perhaps in this life like a human, he could only leave the last chance to change back to the dragon form.

"This life is enough."

If he reincarnated again, he would no longer be Long Rui, and Nagasawa would no longer be his Nagasawa.

Xuankong didn't know what to answer, he couldn't help.

"Take it, this is a softer golden medicine." Xuankong's Buddhist power is Long Rui's nemesis, so Xuankong can't help Long Rui heal his wounds.

Long Rui understood Xuankong's kindness, thanked him, and left.At night, that shadow looked so bleak to Xuankong.

Chang Duan was keeping vigil on behalf of Doctor Qiu in the Imperial Hospital at the moment, when suddenly, a figure appeared faintly outside the door.He thought it was just an illusion, but when he looked carefully, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

A figure stood upright, but fell down unsupported, barely able to be supported by Chang Duan who rushed over.The blood on the back, the weak panting, this is how far it must have been to cause so much blood to flow from the wound on the back.

The next day, when the news of the sudden death of Prime Minister Kong came that the imperial doctor Qiu committed suicide by leaving a letter, Chang Duan understood the reason for that night.Until a long time later, Chang Duan still remembered that even before he passed out, Long Rui still grabbed his hand, told him a lot, and then passed out.And those words that were forced to be spoken, every word and every word, were all for His Majesty, for that man named Xue Changze.

And everything about that night, at this moment, Xue Chan doesn't know, perhaps, he never will know.

During the days when Chang Duan was in a hurry to treat Long Rui's wound, there was a piece of news that worried Chang Duan—the Khitan raised troops.

It may be that the Khitan learned of the emperor's fall and just recovered from the internal affairs, and also knew of the death of the prime minister, so they took advantage of the chaos to raise troops.

The timing of the war between the two countries, the timing of Yelu Shulan and Long Rui's confrontation, came at this wrong moment.

Xue Chan looked at Tang Tian's memorial requesting for support in his hand, and understood the extraordinaryness of Yelu Shulan and the need for Long Rui to fight.

But the relationship between them could be eased, but Xue Chan couldn't bear it, and couldn't choose.Unprecedented, Xue Chan hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind to let Long Rui go out.His mind was in a mess, maybe during Long Rui's battle, he could sort out his thoughts and answers.

Looking at Long Rui's explanation sent by Xiao Shunzi, although it was not Long Rui's words, Xue Chan knew that these opinions were all from Long Rui.

On that day, Xue Chan had no time to see him off, because Xiao Xue Ting's sudden illness prevented him from seeing him off.But he never thought that the pale face of Long Rui he saw when he gave the order face to face that day was actually the last face between them, perhaps in the real sense.If he was asked to do it all over again, Xue Chan swore that he would never make such a decision again.Perhaps Xiliang will be destroyed because of this, and he will be infamous through the ages, and will be killed by Yelu Shulan.But he didn't care, at least, in this ending, Long Rui didn't die.

☆、Chapter 30

Chang Duan worriedly looked at the person in front of him who was being treated by himself.The war between Khitan and Xiliang has lasted for three months, and the man in front of him has been the vanguard in every battle in the past three months. Although he has boosted the morale of the army, Chang Duan is particularly worried.Just like just now, Chang Duan pulled out the arrow with a little smudge from Long Rui's shoulder.Although Chang Duan didn't see it, he heard from the soldiers that it was blocked for Tang Tian.The war between Xiliang and Khitan continued in a situation of one win and one loss. No matter how hard the two sides moved, the situation still failed to improve.

"Rui, let's rest first this time, you just got injured and need to recuperate."

Long Rui answered without turning his head, and put on his armor: "My injury has already shaken the morale of the army. At this moment, I must go to battle. I believe that Yelu Shulan knows as well as I do. Whoever breaks this situation first will win the battle." Whoever has the upper hand will take the lead, so Shaoyuan, you don't have to persuade me."

Afterwards, Chang Duan only remembered that the drums of war sounded soon, as if in response to Long Rui.

But Chang Duan remembered that when he hesitated to draw Long Rui's arrow, Long Rui didn't look at him, but what Long Rui said at that time made Chang Duan remember: "I am not afraid of pain."

But Chang Duan also understands that Long Rui is no longer immortal, and maybe with old injuries, he will suffer hundreds of times more than ordinary people.But Long Rui still said such a sentence.Chang Duan has been following Long Rui as Long Rui's exclusive military doctor for the past few days.Chang Duan understood that Long Rui would be kind to those around him, so Long Rui would say those four concise words in order not to worry him.

Perhaps, there are other reasons... Anyway, everything has long been out of touch.

Turning back the time a little, it was about a month after Long Rui set off on the expedition. It was a morning, and Xue Chan had been sitting there in a daze for about an hour and a half. Suddenly, he called Xiao Shunzi outside the door, without any warning. I asked Xiao Shunzi a question: "Xiao Shunzi, you said that if a person is always thinking about another person whether it is day or night, he will be unhappy when he sees that person with other people, and he will do a lot of things. Extreme things, you say, is this person sick or..."

Xiao Shunzi was a little stunned. After waiting for that person for so long, he thought it was impossible, but he came so unexpectedly.

But Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to say it directly, he just told Xue Chan to find the owner of Zilinju, and that person would tell Xue Chan the answer.

And the owner of Zilinju is An Biling.

Therefore, when An Biling unexpectedly saw Xue Chan approaching and asked this question, she was really stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

After that, Xue Chan shed tears in a strange way and said to Xue Chan, "Your Majesty, this is love."

Love?

Just like staying with him and loving him?Xue Chan thought so.Since Long Rui left, he has thought a lot, and he didn't ask this question until today.

That night, when he got An Biling's answer, he sat there in a daze for a long time before he finally understood.

If this is love, then it turns out that he has loved it a long time ago.It's just that he never knew what love was, and thought love was useless.Xiangliu only told him that an emperor doesn't need love, so Xiangliu didn't tell him what love is or how to love.

Thinking of this, Xue Chan suddenly wanted to know how Long Rui, who has always loved her, faced such a self.Is it... very hopeless.

He did many, many wrong things. He let Long Rui watch him get married and have children, and even pushed Long Rui to another woman to achieve his so-called purpose of keeping him.

How much did he do wrong.

If it takes a long time for water to penetrate a stone drop by drop, then is it true that Long Rui's heart, which was originally like a stone, has been made pitted and unsightly by himself, even though the owner of that heart is still stubborn and paranoid? The last line of defense, already crumbling.

His relationship was so deeply hurt by him, at this moment, whether to make up and apologize, has become pale.

"Bi Ling, tell me, will he forgive me?"

An Biling looked at Xue Chan with teary eyes, and finally smiled: "He never hated you, how can you forgive him. He will come back soon. When he comes back, you must tell him in person as soon as possible. Those words!"

That night, it was the first time that Xue Chan said a lot, what did he say?He said a lot of things that he had imagined to say after Long Rui came back, and it was not until late at night that his voice barely stopped.

Xue Chan fell asleep, and An Biling tiptoed to the window, looking out at the night as cool as water.

Long Rui, come back in victory soon, what you have been looking forward to day and night has finally come.quick……

But there were many things that neither An Biling nor Xue Chan knew, so many things happened that they never imagined.

A few days later, Xue Chan finally regained his vitality, and even worked harder than before, not for anything else, just because becoming a wise king has always been Long Rui's greatest expectation for Xue Chan.And it all started because of this.

That day, Xue Chanben was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room. When he wanted to go outside to find Meng Yu, who was forced to come back from the frontier by Long Rui, to discuss the matter of Xiao Xue Ting, he heard the crowd headed by Xiao Shunzi. The servant's dialogue.

"Have you heard, His Majesty must not let this matter know."

"But manager, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, His Majesty will always know."

"That's right, sir, it's not like you don't know that there are so many people in the palace, how can you hide it!"

"Anyway, it can't be done! Anyone can know, but His Majesty really can't."

"What can't the widow know?"

However, when Xue Chan heard the concealed truth from the trembling Xiao Shunzi, he just stood there in a daze.

What Xiao Shunzi said was: Princess Hongyu is pregnant for about three months.

three months?

That was him, when he took the medicine...

It's him……

His relatives also have heirs...

It's him……

Xiangliu, tell me, what should I do...

Everything that has been distorted is irreversible.
