"Your Majesty... Prince Duan is here." Zhang Zhong reported respectfully to the people on the dragon couch tremblingly, the trembling in his voice could not tell whether it was sadness or fear.

The emperor's figure on the dragon tower moved with difficulty: "I see, you go out first."

Zhang Zhong wanted to say something several times, but he still held back, with countless sorrows in his eyes, he turned silently and opened the door for Huo Xiao. walked in.

The door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation squeaked shut, and Huo Xiao remained silent all the way, slowly knelt down and said, "Minister Huo Xiao, pay homage to my emperor, long live long live."

Emperor Longbao's breathing was a bit heavy, as if he was suppressing a lot of pain and couldn't express it, he slowly opened his mouth and shouted: "Huo Xiao..."

Huo Xiao knelt motionless: "The minister is here."

Emperor Longbao said softly: "This day is finally coming. I thought that when this day came, the person who would accompany me would be your father."

Huo Xiao replied: "Chen's father died at the foot of Qihuang Mountain ten years ago."

Emperor Longbao was silent for a while, as if he felt a bit of sadness about the scene. After a long while, he stood up tremblingly. His withered body became more and more labored behind the curtain, and he opened the curtain and said, "Come on, Huo Xiao, get up and sit down."

Huo Xiao hesitated, but got up and sat on the chair opposite the dragon couch, quietly waiting for the emperor's next order, so distant but courteous.

Emperor Longbao smiled wryly: "Why didn't Minghuang come with you?"

Huo Xiao said: "It's not safe here, I sent someone to send him back to the General's Mansion first."

Emperor Longbao nodded, and didn't pursue him for taking Wen Renhuang from the palace back to the general's mansion. He just said softly: "Ming Kun's heart is not broad enough, but I can't do anything to him until I find Ming Huang. After all, I am old, and I am no longer as carefree as I was back then. If Mingkun has any accidents, I don't know what else to do..."

Huo Xiao moved his eyes slightly and listened silently.

"It was the first time I saw Ming Huang appearing in Zijin Mountain. I really knew that Ming Huang was my son. I wanted him to replace Ming Kun on a whim, so that the world would not be treated cruelly at the hands of Ming Kun," Long said. Emperor Bao leaned against the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "But after a long time, I found that it was not possible. Minghuang's heart was simple, and the most terrifying Qihuang Mountain did not teach him to be a terrible superior. Perhaps I should also thank Feng God, Ming Huang didn't turn into another Ming Kun."

"He really... has no bad intentions." Huo Xiao said awkwardly.

Emperor Longbao showed a smile: "Yes, it's good to have one of my sons."

Huo Xiao silently wondered if Qu Mingkun would be furious if he heard this, but what Emperor Longbao said next caused a crack to appear on his tense face:

"Are you sincere about Ming Huang?"

Even if the person sitting opposite is not the king of a country, or just an ordinary father, these words carry extremely heavy weight. Huo Xiao frowned and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Longbao coughed a few times, and he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or he couldn't bear it: "I don't want you to play around with this matter, I know that Minghuang has no intention of taking the throne, Zhang Zhong has also told me a lot these days between you."

Huo Xiao fell silent again, as if tacitly acquiescing, raising his eyes from time to time to look at Emperor Longbao, who was panting hard, and saw him coughing up half his life, then smiled wryly: "I haven't watched Minghuang grow up in so many years. , and may not be seen again in the future.”

Huo Xiao glanced at him: "My emperor is so blessed, how could it not be possible?"

Emperor Longbao didn't know whether it was a real letter or a fake letter, so he laughed and let out a long breath: "I am old, I am not what I used to be, now I am open to everything, and I can let it go. Mingkun has been around for so many years, knowing that he has enough strength to protect himself, he is at ease, but Minghuang is different, he has not been by my side since he was a child, I am afraid, except for Daqi, he is the one I can't let go of now."

Huo Xiao's eyes trembled slightly: "I... will treat him well, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

As if he finally got the answer he wanted, Emperor Longbao's smile did not seem so weak at last. He looked at Huo Xiao and murmured: "I believe in you, you are like your father, let me feel at ease."

Huo Xiao's originally turbulent mood returned to calm in an instant, he looked directly at Emperor Longbao: "But Your Majesty, I will not tolerate my father in the end."

Emperor Longbao's face remained unchanged, as if he expected to face the consequences of everything that had happened before the end of his life, he said softly: "Even if you don't tell me, I will tell you."

Huo Xiao pursed his lips, seeming to be patient.

"If I said...your father knew that there would be such a day, would you still hold grudges against me?" Emperor Longbao gave a bleak smile, and finally shook his head again, "Saying these things now seems to absolve yourself of a crime, but what's wrong with you?" What's the use?"

Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty..."

"Your father, he is more passionate and impulsive than you. Does he think that even if he disarms himself and returns to the field, the surnames he swiped with the blade will let him go?" Emperor Longbao's lips trembled slightly, "After I ascended the throne , I never begged others like that again, only your father, he still refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on leaving."

Huo Xiao felt a little hard to breathe: "Your Majesty means, it's not about killing donkeys, is it?"

Emperor Longbao laughed a few times, as if all the unwillingness of the rest of his life was caught in it: "Everyone in the world thinks that the king is ruthless, but I don't!"

He looked at Huo Xiao, and said slowly: "I have always regarded your father as a sibling, even worse than Prince Zhuang and that person. Your father protected me from the crown prince all the way to the throne, when I am the most helpless and most critical He was willing to fight with his life to protect me at every moment, and the people I killed after I ascended the throne were all vacillating people who tried to see my jokes at that time, but for your father, I dare say there has never been a gap!"

Huo Xiao clenched his palms tightly: "Then why... would there be such a result again!"

"I told you, I didn't do it on purpose..." Emperor Longbao closed his eyes tremblingly, "That day was the last time your father went out to fight for me. He didn't bring brave warriors to escort him, but he took ordinary servants and guards to Qihuang Before leaving, I asked him if he would no longer guard this country for me after today. He said... the first half of his life was for me, and the second half of his life, he was for his beloved Daqi and his family..."

Huo Xiao looked at the withered old man with red eyes: "So, what's wrong with him? He will always have a great enlightenment in his heart. He never betrayed you, why did you want to cut off the rest of his life!"

Sadness overflowed on the indifferent face, Emperor Longbao stared blankly at Huo Xiao's canthus shouting, and forgot to care about the disobedience and collision in these words: "I... don't know!"

"He never gave birth to you all his life, even when my mother gave birth to me, he guarded the frontier for your blessing and couldn't come back! All the relatives in my life died because of you!"

Huo Xiao stood up suddenly and smashed the table case with his palm, the loud sound caused Emperor Longbao to tremble but he didn't stop it.

His eyes were red, he covered his palms, and said in a trembling voice: "But I am the same as him, even though I know this, I still can't do anything, because we are the ministers of Daqi, and you are the emperor of Daqi. Undead. For so many years, I have always thought that the one who killed my father was Qihuang Mountain. In fact, I can figure out the mistake as long as I think about it, but I dare not, and I don’t want to! The emperor in my impression is a kind person, "he Putting down his hands, he said sadly, "But I was wrong, Your Majesty, after all, you are an Emperor, and if you are a dragon, you will always have Nilin."

Emperor Longbao closed his eyes and did not refute, but the corners of his eyes were filled with liquid.

Huo Xiao took a deep breath, his straight body was as weak as if he was going to fall down at any time: "I'm being reckless, please rest well, Your Majesty, I'm leaving!"

Emperor Longbao nodded lightly, Huo Xiao turned around and left the hall, Zhang Zhong outside the door covered his mouth and cried: "Slave...respectfully send the prince off!"

Huo Xiao's eyes were still bloodshot when he just left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the news from the guards who rushed over made him even more heartbroken: "My lord, Mr. Wenren was robbed by someone who doesn't know where!"

After rubbing for a long time, Wen Renhuang finally broke the rope binding his wrist behind his back, but the skin on the back of his hand was also peeled off, causing a burning pain.

"Hiss—let me know who it is, I insist on making him look good!" Wen Renhuang said angrily!

It took nearly an hour to finally break the rope. Wen Renhuang hurriedly untied the rope that helped his legs and feet. He really had to thank Elder Guo for being considerate and not sending anyone to watch him.

Wen Renhuang loosened his stiff body, the fragrance he inhaled before made his legs a little weak, it was such a fragrance...

Through the window, you can vaguely see a row of guards standing outside, all of them are tall and straight and look very skilled. I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through if you go out directly. It is good to do it yourself, but if you are facing so many people, you may not have time to run. was knocked down.

He turned his eyes and saw the straw in this dilapidated house and suddenly had an idea.

All the guards outside the door were wearing light-colored strong clothes, looking upright in broad daylight, bah!It's shameless to dress up so righteously for kidnapping such a person!

Those people didn't seem to pay attention to the movement in the house, until Wen Renhuang's scream was heard: "Help, it's drowning!"

The flames rushed so fast that the guards panicked and opened the door lock, only to see Wenren Huangjing inside who probably passed out from the scream just now, and ran to carry Wenrenhuang out of the room , Find another person to go to the doctor to fetch water to splash the water.

Wen Renhuang narrowed his eyes secretly, seeing that the yard was full of people busy to and fro, he chuckled from the bottom of his heart and praised how good he was!While these people were busy, Wen Renhuang stood up and shook off the rope in his hand, and before everyone could react, he jumped out of the roof!

"Come on, chase me—!"

A roar came from behind, and Wenren Huangben was still complacent, but his face immediately changed and he ran for his life with all his might.

After being imprisoned for several hours, his stomach growled with hunger, and even though he had been lying down for a long time, he still didn't feel much energy from Mixiang. After a while, Wen Renhuang felt exhausted.

The scene in his eyes gradually blurred, and Wen Renhuang knew that the group of pursuers had almost caught up without turning his head. A pair of men and horses suddenly appeared in front of him. They were like heavenly rescuers in this dense forest!

"who--!"

Shouts sounded, Wen Renhuang rushed to the front of the sedan chairs in the procession, and shouted with all his might: "Help me..." His vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
