Wutong is the place where the phoenix breathes.

He Zhan was wearing a black cloak and a hood. His not-so-strong torso seemed about to be swallowed up by the darkness in the palace.The palace man leading the way in front is a member of King Fengming, carrying a small lantern and walking quickly in small steps, there is no sound under his feet, as if he is floating in the air.

The door of the palace was pushed open, and there was a chill on the cold ground, and a gust of wind blew out the lanterns of the palace servants, and He Zhan had goose bumps all over his body.The palace man sneered twice, took out the torch that he carried with him, and lit a palace lantern in the palace.

Finally, there was a glimmer of light in the palace. The dim candlelight in the Indus Hall flickered and danced uneasily, but dispelled the chill in the hall.

"Master, the miscellaneous family is waiting outside, don't delay the time."

The gate of the palace was closed bit by bit by the palace people, shutting out the frosty moonlight.

He Zhan looked in the direction of the east side hall, but found that it was no longer a bedroom, but a prison cell with copper walls and iron walls, like a cage.He Zhan approached and put his hand on the cold iron railing, but was so cold that he withdrew his hand.

"who is it!"

The sudden sound made He Zhan hold his breath in fright, and he squinted his eyes, only to realize that there was a person sitting upright under the wall.That person seemed to be still sitting on the throne, sitting upright like a bell, even though the awe-inspiring aura of the past had faded away.

He Zhan held his breath and took off the hood on his head.

The man poked his head out from the darkness, looked at He Zhan's face carefully, and called out, "Meng Aiqing?"

"I am He Zhan. Your Majesty, you should remember me."

The waste emperor crawled out from the dark shadow, crawled in front of He Zhan, and slowly stood up while leaning on the cold iron railing.A pair of eyes stared like copper bells, as if he wanted to see He Zhan clearly. Afterwards, he laughed and said, "It's been ten years. You really look alike. You and your father are very similar. .”

He Zhan didn't panic or panic: "So you know it too."

"Is there anything in this world that I don't know about? But sometimes sitting in that position, you have to be deaf or blind." The deposed emperor stretched out his withered hand and touched He Zhan's face. Did not escape.The Emperor Fei said: "I didn't expect... you would come to see me in the end... It's not in vain that I trusted Meng Aiqing so much."

He Zhan said: "I'll take you on your way. Before that, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully."

The deposed emperor was not afraid at all, instead he evoked a strange smile: "On the day Ning Jin returned to the palace, music could be heard here. The palace guards in the prison said that you are now loyal to him, and you were sealed off by my younger brother later." Lord Zhongguo."

He Zhan ignored his crazy words: "At the beginning, why did you insist on killing my father?"

The deposed emperor tilted his head and thought for a while: "Didn't Meng Aiqing enjoy his glory and wealth in Jiang Country?"

He Zhan grabbed his collar through the iron fence, gritted his teeth and said, "I mean, my father and mother! My father once saved you. When you were young, he saved you from the tiger's mouth. I Mother...he is your real aunt."

"Are you talking about He Aiqing and Aunt Huang? How could it be that I want to put him to death? There is a lot of blood on my hands, but there is no one who is loyal. He killed himself. What is it to do with me?"

He Zhan narrowed his eyes: "It seems that the cold here can't help eroding your body, and it's also eroding your memory. Does the emperor not remember the death penalty for my father!?"

The deposed emperor held He Zhan's hand, stared at him, and laughed loudly: "What did I do? I just sat in the court for a while, and just convicted him according to the laws of the Yasukuni. If the sentence is also guilty, you Why don't you ask Song An for his life? He Zhan, I am the emperor, why do I want He Dazhong's life? I know better than you what kind of person He Dazhong is. He has assisted my father and emperor, and he has also assisted me. Loyal to me, loyal to Yasukuni, loyal to the people of the world! He is a great hero of Yasukuni!"

"But you want him to die!"

"It's not that I want him to die! It's that the people kneeling under the court think he's too crowded and an eyesore! Who made him stupid, he's stupid, he refuses to embezzle! He refuses to conspire! He is the 'dissident' in everyone's eyes."

"So who is it? Who framed him? Fang Yuexiu? Fu Shiming? Prince Lan? Those people from the sixth department? Or did they all participate in this matter?"

The deposed emperor laughed even more wildly, and his eyes were about to shed tears: "The cold prison cell has indeed made my memory bad. You are so young. Think about the day of the trial... There is a person who should appear the most." , but it didn't show up. That person...is the person you're looking for."

He Zhan gradually let go of his hand, trying to remind himself of the people who were in the court that day.

A person who should have appeared but did not appear...

...

He Zhan's eyes opened wider and wider, and the laughter of the waste emperor became louder and louder.He Zhan grabbed him fiercely, and the waste emperor's face hit the iron railing, but he was still smiling.He Zhan's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: "You are lying!"

"I remember... on your previous birthday, he took two dolls to Duke Zhongguo's mansion and gave you a wooden knife as a congratulatory gift. You are very happy, and you swear in front of him that you will use that wooden knife to protect the two in the future." He still laughs at you, saying that you are their uncle." Fei Huang said, "I remember so clearly because through you, I can see his purpose."

"you're lying!"

"I know my younger brother too well. He wooed He Dazhong because he wanted to use He Dazhong to intimidate me so that I wouldn't dare to take away his power."

"you're lying!"

"It's a pity...He Dazhong is loyal to Yasukuni and to me."

"You lied! You lied! You lied!" He Zhan grabbed his collar, slammed his head against the iron railing, and said angrily, "Tell me! Who is the real culprit! Who is going to kill my father! who is it!"

Seeing that He Zhan was angry, the deposed emperor smiled even more happily: "But you are actually loyal to Ning Jin, and you were actually named a 'loyal' Duke by my younger brother. Hahahahaha——"

"You want to use me for revenge? You want me to take away the seat of Emperor Jing Zhao!"

"You? Who are you? Duke Zhong? A Duke Zhong who has 'no power and no power'? All he relies on is his imperial power. Why would I use you? Why would I lie to you?"

He Zhan pushed him down and took out the scimitar from his sleeve: "Tell the truth! Believe it or not, I can cut off your body piece by piece until you die."

The waste emperor smiled and narrowed his eyes: "The blood of Jiang Guolang is flowing on your body. Your murderous, hypocritical and cunning appearance is exactly the same as your father. You are not the son of Duke Zhong. He will never point the knife at you. The emperor, even if it is a deposed emperor in prison. In that case, why don't you make good use of the blood in your body? Don't you want to sit in that position? When my younger brother was still a prince, he could control everyone in the court Life and death, even I, have been made by him into this look of neither human nor ghost. If you want to fight with him, you have to sit in that position."

He stood up and stared into He Zhan's eyes: "Only when you look down on them, those people will confess their sins, and they will kneel down and kowtow to your parents to admit their mistakes."

He Zhan took a key and opened the iron door.He Zhan dragged the deposed emperor to a dark place, and pressed the blade against his neck: "Shut up."

"Aunt Huang committed suicide back then, what was she doing for?"

"You have no right to ask."

"She did it for you. For you and He De, she used sex to gain my affection and guilt, making me feel sorry for her, and let you go, let go of your brother. Your brother is still in Yuanjiang Right? When will you come back?" Zhen smiled with his mouth curled up, "It's a pity that I am not the emperor anymore, I wonder if the new emperor will have a little bit of family affection and a little bit of guilt to let your brother come back."

He Zhan's hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably, tears rolled from the corners of his eyes: "You, lie!"

The deposed emperor closed his eyes in a state of serenity, smiling and waiting for death to come: "You know whether what I said is true or not, He Zhan, you know it in your heart. Those doubts that you usually put aside will come up at this moment, and you can Find out here."

"Only in the dark can you see the black shadow."

Blood spattered He Zhan's face.

Blood dripped down the blade.

He knelt there for a long, long time, with his hands on the ground, he stood up with his weak body, and walked to the west side hall on the other side.

The prince was imprisoned in that cell, and his mind was already out of order. He cowered in the corner and watched He Zhan enter the cell. Let me go! Let me go!"

He Zhan is like a body without emotion, raising the knife in his hand and dropping it without hesitation.

The cloak on his body was soaked in blood. When He Zhan stood up, blood dripped from the tip of the knife and the corner of the cloak.

He put the bloody knife back into the sheath around his waist, and stepped out step by step.

Why would He Dazhong not want him to go to Qingping Palace again?

Why did He Dazhong not want him to get close to Ning Zuo and Ning You again?

Why did King Ningping make his son's full moon banquet a prince's regulation, and the emperor never blamed it?

Why did He Dazhong and He De in the previous life "suicide in fear of crime" in the heavily guarded sky prison?

Why didn't he find out who was behind the scenes after searching for so long in the previous life?

Why did the deeply rooted government of Zhongguo be destroyed in a sea of ​​fire overnight?

why…

why…

"Master, are you done?" Seeing He Zhan coming out, the palace servants waved off the little eunuchs who were guarding outside the hall, and hurriedly greeted him.

The smell of blood was all over the nostrils, so choking that the palace servants almost vomited.He didn't dare to cover his nose, for fear that the King of Hades would kill him as well before he had finished killing him.He said: "It's not too late, you go with the miscellaneous family. Tomorrow, inside and outside the palace will know the news of the sudden death of the emperor and the old prince. This slave will definitely handle it properly, so don't worry." Putting on a handkerchief and coming out, he said courteously, "Wipe your face."

He Zhan didn't speak, took the veil and wiped all the blood off his face.

It was already late at night, and the palace was completely silent. There were only a few teams of patrolling imperial forest soldiers shuttling through the night. When they saw the palace guards leading the people, they immediately changed their patrol direction as if they hadn't seen them.

The palace servants led He Zhan across the long street in the palace, so the place was empty and there was no place to hide, and the palace servants walked very fast.

Suddenly, the palace man was dragged into the darkness and disappeared in an instant.He Zhan was about to draw his sword, but he was also pulled into the darkness, out of the moonlight, with a cold wall behind him, and this small gap could completely block the figure of a person.

"It really is you!" A cold hand caressed He Zhan's face, and he pulled back his hood, "Who told you to come!"

Ning Jin.

He Zhan raised his eyes and could only see the black shadow when he was in the dark. He really saw Ning Jin's face clearly.He said: "The minister has already solved it."

Ning Jin didn't need to think about who told him, he frowned and said angrily in a low voice: "It's Fengming King again!" He smelled the bloody smell on He Zhan's body: "Uncle is injured?"

"Let go."

He Zhan had never spoken to him in such a cold tone. Even if the two had a dispute, he had heard He Zhan speak like this.The hand holding He Zhan was released suddenly, and he asked in panic, "I touched your wound? Where does it hurt?"

He Zhan licked his dry lips and said calmly, "Go back."

Ning Jin looked down at He Zhan's expression: "What's wrong, uncle? Don't do these things again, I can..." He wanted to kiss He Zhan, but he didn't want He Zhan to press him against the wall with his backhand. He didn't even see how He Zhan drew the knife, and the knife blade, which was chilling for a thousand years, cut a shallow bloodstain on his neck.

He Zhan grabbed Ning Jin's hair, forced Ning Jin to show his neck, and pressed the blade in his hand even tighter.

"Ning Jin! You can do whatever you want, that's me, indulge you! But listen to me, from now on, if you touch me again, I'll kill you!" He Zhan gritted his teeth and said this When he spoke, his voice was trembling, but the hand that had killed someone was as steady as a towering mountain.

He Zhan's words were like a wedge, piercing through his heart, a big hole was made, the bleeding couldn't stop, it was painful and empty.The pain in his neck seemed to have been magnified countless times, making him numb and stiff from the pain, and he couldn't even speak: "Uncle...what's wrong with you...why...?"

He Zhan let go of Ning Jin with ruthless eyes, and retreated holding the knife: "I feel sick when I hear you panting."

"uncle…"

He Zhan turned around and ran out, disappearing into the vast night.

"Uncle... Uncle! He Zhan...! He Zhan!"

He Zhan turned a deaf ear and jumped out of the high palace wall.

Ning Qi's carriage was parked in the corner, he didn't get out of the carriage, but looked at He Zhan who came out of the darkness through the curtain.

He Zhan drew the knife, and the knife made a clear sound.When he was a little further away from the palace, several men in black flew down from the roof, with light footsteps and a swallow-like figure, they followed He Zhan's footsteps on the roof.

He Zhan didn't stop, looked at the empty long street ahead, and said coldly, "Go check Yuexiu's house."

The man in black took the lead and jumped off the roof.As there were only a few people left in He Zhan, He Zhan threw the blood-stained knife violently. The knife flipped over extremely quickly, then slammed into the ground, and the blade snapped: "There is also Fu Shiming and his henchmen, don't want any of them!" Let go!"

Inside the Nobile Hall.

After the thunderstorm, the thunderstorm gradually calmed down, beating on the emerald green leaves with a clattering sound.

The doctor pulled out the fragments from He Zhan's leg, and then bandaged the wound.Feng Niang sent the girl to see the doctor, and she covered He Zhan with a thin quilt. Seeing that his face was flushed and his forehead was covered with hot sweat, Feng Niang took a round fan to blow him.

She caressed He Zhan's face: "Sleep well. The days are still long, and everything will get better and better."

Last night, when He Zhan came to the Jinchai Hall covered in blood, Feng Niang was shocked, thinking that he had been injured, but she didn't want this man to rush into the room as soon as he came, and first ordered him to serve several jars of wine .Feng Niang thought he was going to invite some guests, so she carried it up for him without thinking too much. Who knew that he picked up the wine jar and poured it into her mouth desperately.

Normally He Zhan never loses his temper with the girl from Jinchai House, he always has a pair of eyes bent, he is a very good-tempered person.When Hua Niang went up to stop him today, he pushed him down, angrily threw the wine jar at Hua Niang's side, and shouted: "Get out!"

Hua Niang cried in fright, and knelt down in front of He Zhan tremblingly: "My lord, you can't drink wine like this, or you will get into trouble. Even if you beat me to death, I can't see you like this."

He Zhan picked up Hua Niang from the ground: "What are you calling me?"

Hua Niang was terrified: "Grandpa..."

"No! It's called Mr. He! Call!" He Zhan pinched Hua Niang's face and scolded.

"What are you crazy about drinking!" Feng Niang pulled Hua Niang out of He Zhan's hands and pushed her out of the Accord.

He Zhan pointed at the door: "She called by mistake! She called by mistake!"

Feng Niang stretched out her hand and slapped He Zhan severely: "Who are you venting your anger on! You haven't killed enough people outside, so you want to vent your anger on the girls?"

This slap made her palm burn and hurt, but seeing He Zhan like this, her heart ached so much that tears fell down suddenly.

He Zhan was stunned by Feng Niang's beating. He was stunned for a while, but he still insisted, "It's her name that was wrong...she was wrong! Aunt Feng, she was wrong!"

Feng Niang saw He Zhan kneeling suddenly among the pieces of broken porcelain, and the sharp shards pierced between his legs and knees.

Shocked, Feng Niang pulled him up, couldn't help crying and said, "What's the matter, sir? Get up quickly..."

He Zhan didn't get up, hugged Fengniang's waist, and cried, "Aunt Feng, I was wrong, I know I was wrong...help me! I can't hold on anymore...I'm so tired..."

"Aunt Feng can't save you, Master can only save himself." Feng Niang knelt down with him, she knelt softly, only feeling the pain from the broken porcelain on the ground.

——Pei Zhi, you still have to go alone in the future...

Nemesis?Is this retribution?

"You killed me!" He Zhan picked up a fragment and stuffed it into Feng Niang's hands, "Aunt Feng, you kill me! As long as you kill me, everything will change...it won't be like this again..."

Feng Niang held the broken porcelain tightly in her hand: "Master, I have been walking this way for ten years. Aunt Feng doesn't dare to think about how you survived; Aunt Feng doesn't know what you want to do. But you have been walking for so long , how could you have such a stupid idea?"

Suddenly, there was loud thunder outside, and He Zhan shrank his shoulders instinctively.

Feng Niang took He Zhan into her arms, patted him on the back, and said, "Master, don't be afraid, sleep well, and everything will pass."

He Zhan leaned on Feng Niang's shoulders:

"Aunt Feng...It hurts...It hurts..."
