Si Tian Guan

Bai Shilei didn't complete what the marshal said.

Liu Chongming gave a total of two orders, the first is to keep him alive, and the second is not to stain his innocence.

Qu Chenzhou lived in the palace for a long time and rarely showed his face in front of outsiders, but the more he was like this, the more mysterious the rumors about him became.And the one that was talked about the most, besides his life-and-death divination, was that cold and peerless appearance.

It made Liu Chongming's second order full of charm.

Many people vaguely remembered that these two people were said to have had a very deep friendship a long time ago.

Many people even speculated that Qu Sitian was very likely to survive the catastrophe this time, no matter how humiliating he was, he would still save his life.

For a person as capable as Qu Chenzhou, no one would really be willing to give up, just look at the two previous emperors.

The rumors were rampant, and the court was boiling for a while, and finally someone couldn't help using the rumors to test Liu Chongming's tone.

Liu Chongming did not hesitate about this, and only replied with one sentence: Abolishing the emperor is still forgiven.

There is no need to say anything later.

The deposed emperor can be forgiven, but this person cannot be kept no matter what.

Qu Chenzhou didn't know anything about these things outside - when he came out of Guanxing Pavilion, there were people from the control department who were ordered to wait for him there.

More than ten years later, he fell into slavery again.

The red-hot iron gave off the smell of burnt flesh, leaving a "Ming" character on his back.

That was the place where he was most afraid of pain, and Liu Chongming really knew better than anyone how to make him suffer the most.

Just a single burn affected his whole body, his legs couldn't use his strength, but the horse in front was holding the rope that bound him, and he had no choice but to take steps under the walking of the horse.

As if deliberately trying to humiliate him, he was still wearing the Xuanmang woven gold robe bestowed by the emperor, showing his noble status under one person, but his hair was loose and tied behind his head with a red string.

He was born in slavery, if he hadn't been pardoned by the emperor, he would not have been qualified to wear a crown.

Both sides of the road were crowded with people who came to watch.

For these ordinary people, in the past, Lord Sitian was as high as a god-man, living only in legends, and no one could get a glimpse of it.

Now that the immortal is in distress and is being dragged through the streets, even if the war has just passed the imperial city like now, no one wants to come and have a look.

He was able to stagger at first, but the pain in his lower back made his legs tremble, his underwear was soaked in cold sweat, and he was quickly dragged to the ground by the horse.

Even though there were soldiers standing some distance away, they couldn't stop the voices of countless people talking.

"That's Si Tianguan? I thought he was a god with three heads and six arms!"

"How powerful are three heads and six arms? He doesn't need to use his hands, but he can kill you with an open mouth. Isn't he considered a fairy?"

"Immortal fart! The dog is just relying on people's power, no one is behind him, no one cares what he says, he is still a dog of others."

Someone said tut-tsk: "The crime of killing is too serious, I never thought that he would actually look like this. I'm afraid the gods in the sky will look like this."

"If he didn't look like this, how could the emperor obey him and make it like this."

"No wonder..." Someone stared and muttered, "If he is willing to smile at me..."

"Shut up!" The side shouted: "Don't die!"

"Demonic words confuse the crowd, pollute the court, and harm the country and the people." Someone sneered and said: "In ancient times, there was a demon concubine Daji, and she didn't show her way too much, so she should be drenched in dog blood and beheaded immediately!"

"I heard that his eyes can see yin and yang and the future. I don't know if it's true."

"Who knows, it should be true!"

This rumor is no longer a new one, and those who have the courage to shout to this side: "Master Jun, are his eyes yin-yang demon pupils? What kind of eyes? Let everyone open their eyes!"

Of course the accompanying officer was curious about this matter, and naturally he had already seen it. Now that someone is watching it together, of course he was very happy to relieve his boredom, and quickly kicked him.

"Didn't hear what they said? Open your eyes! Your throat is hoarse, could it be that your eyes are also blind?!"

Qu Chenzhou's hands were tied behind his back, he could only pant and prostrate on the ground, he was kicked awake in a trance, and slowly opened his eyes.

The officer grabbed his hair and forced him to look up.There were crowds of people all around, scrambling to get a closer look.

"Really! One eye is blue and the other is gold?"

"Let me see--he's looking at me!"

Qu Chenzhou stared blankly at the surging crowd not far away, wanting to say something.

He wanted to say that he really envied them that they could have such an ordinary life, that they could have a solid home to return to, that they could have someone waiting for them at home, and that they could talk and laugh like this unscrupulously.

All he wants is to have a place to live in, to be able to live freely and well.

Only.

After seeing his eyes, someone hesitated: "Isn't this not good, he shouldn't really be a fairy, now we are like this, don't offend..."

"Don't think about it." Immediately, someone interrupted the man's timidity: "It's been a few years before you know him? He has been confessed like a dog for a few years, and you really think he is a god? It's just a three-year-old It's just a house slave bought for two pieces of silver."

"House servant? Him?"

"Of course, how could anyone in the capital not know about it?"

"I really only came here in the past few years, tell me?"

"What's new about this, you can find out what's going on if you go around and find out. More than ten years ago, he sold the lively Qisheng Building in the capital."

"Qisheng Building? Didn't it collapse a long time ago?"

"That's right, it's not like you didn't know who fell in love with him later on. I heard that it was to get him into the palace that the Qisheng Tower collapsed."

"It's not just that the Qisheng Building has collapsed," someone interrupted: "If he hadn't entered the palace, the world wouldn't be in chaos now..."

"Hush..." His words were immediately blocked back.

"Tsk tsk, what a curse, whoever buys him will be unlucky."

"That's right. So, if I were Marshal Liu, I wouldn't dare to keep him."

Marshal Liu...

These three words fell into his ears, and Qu Chenzhou, who was already lifeless, began to tremble.

The officer seemed to find that he was holding filth in his hands, and he pushed forward. He fell to the ground, propped his head on the ground again, knelt down a little bit, and stood up unsteadily.

"Chongming..." he thought in his heart, taking a difficult step, even though he knew what was waiting for him at the end of the road.

There is not even a narrow transom in the dark underground.

This bloody dungeon was a place where everyone shuddered at the mention of it, and no one had ever walked out of it alive.

He was lying in a place where he couldn't see a ray of light. He didn't know the age, but he could only faintly hear the terrifying sound of the torture tool being dragged on the ground.

All I know is that in the painful coma and waking up, I have been hanging for a breath all the time, I didn't die, and I wasn't allowed to die.

Four months later, the new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the world. The only person who was not pardoned was Qu Shenzhou.

He was heavily shackled and dragged out of the dark prison. This was the first time he saw the sun after being imprisoned, and the sunlight pierced his eyes.

After not seeing the sun for several months, he tasted all kinds of tastes in the prison. He narrowly escaped death, and he was barely able to stand up.

The soldiers escorting him looked at him in horror, wondering how this frail man could still walk?

Qu Chenzhou only has the road ahead in his eyes - one more step, one more step, and he will see it.

He finally fell outside the palace gate and was dragged all the way up the sapphire stone steps. His naked feet knocked on the steps, leaving a long bloodstain behind him.

In front of the Hall of Central Harmony, there is a high platform specially built for him.

Long before he entered the capital, Liu Chongming made an oath in front of the battle that if he could break into the gate of Jiuchong Palace, he would sacrifice the blood of the traitor Qu Shenzhou to the souls of the dead.

When he was tied up on the cross platform, he completely lost his strength and could barely stand by the iron chains.

The only strength left was enough for him to look up and see the figure walking towards him.

After nearly ten years, they finally saw each other again, but they were no longer the teenagers they used to be.

Chong Ming, who was dressed in a beaded crown and dragon clothes, was even more beautiful than imagined.

He licked the dry lips, the name was already in his mouth, but there was no sound to make him call it out.

However, with just this one glance, those flowers that were once illuminated by the sun bloomed brilliantly again, Qu Chenzhou pursed his thin lips, lowered his head with a little smile.

It's good to see him, it's not in vain for him to wait for so long.

It's just that the sentence he tried his best to ask, but he has no chance to ask it.

It's just that the agreement to ride horses together was in vain after all.

"Qu Sitian! Do you still recognize me?" Liu Chongming's feet were shaking violently, and even the crown on his head was trembling, which disturbed his sight, and he couldn't see clearly the blood-stained person not far away.

He didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, he tore off the crown and threw it aside, and Jing Chen behind him hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand: "Your Majesty..."

"Qu Sitian! Look at me! Do you still recognize me!" He pushed Jing Chen away and growled sharply.

Qu Shenzhou couldn't lift his head up, ignoring his anger.

"You dared to do those things back then, why don't you dare to look at me now!" Liu Chongming yelled sharply, shaking his right hand, and the black long whip roared down.

After the sound of breaking through the air, there was the sound of whipping against the flesh.

But Qu Shenzhou only shook for a while, and remained silent, as if he didn't know the pain, without any response, not even a slight struggle.

"Qu Chenzhou!" Liu Chongming's voice suddenly increased, choking with sobs, he raised his hand and whipped again: "Look at me!"

"Look at me!"

"You look up for me!"

"Look up!"

Jingchen couldn't stand it anymore, stopped Liu Chongming who seemed to be crazy, and motioned to the people beside him to take a look. After seeing that person trotting over, he nodded to him, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, he is already dead."

Qu Shenzhou died.

The person who used to be one-sided by the emperor's side, the courtier and traitor who was scolded by all the people in the world, just died silently on the soul-breaking platform, and he only had time to take a look at Liu Chongming.

After ten years of anticipation and waiting, four months of patience and torment, the wish has been fulfilled, so far the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.

"He won't die," Liu Chongming was stunned for a moment without Jing Chen's expected madness, and then suddenly sneered: "How can a person who has no heart die?"

He took a few steps back and beckoned, and someone beside him handed over the things he had prepared.

Golden bow, silver arrow.

This is what he promised, one day take him to see the free world outside, go to the vast grassland to ride horses, golden bows and silver arrows, red horses.

Nock the arrow to the string, the bow opens to the full moon, let go.

The silver arrow pierced the wind and went straight to Shen Zhou's heart.

The man tied to the soul-breaking platform still only swayed according to the force of the arrow, with his head bowed.

Liu Chongming mechanically repeated the action of opening the bow and releasing the arrow, his eyes were blurred and clear again and again.

Blood flowed from the left half of his body all the way to Liu Chongming's feet, but Qu Shenzhou still closed his eyes peacefully, and there was even a bit of a crooked smile on the corner of his blood-stained mouth.

Liu Chongming finally stopped.

It took him nearly ten years to break through the wall of the palace he hated the most, and finally killed the person he hated the most in a cruel way, but he found at a loss that this was not an explanation he wanted.

Those bright spring days of youth, those pasts that were as sweet as spring peaches and summer plums were given by the same person and buried by the same person.

"Shen Zhou..." He knelt on the soul breaking stage, resting his head on the golden bow, weeping bitterly: "Shen Zhouer..."
