Emperor Wu Cheng looked down at the sword, blood was flowing down the ancient pattern, the hand of the young man holding the sword was trembling slightly, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

Emperor Wu Cheng staggered two steps back, and with a whoosh, the sword was pulled out from his flesh.

Wu Ting firmly grasped the hilt of the sword, he knew that the edge of Zhao Bo's sword was sharp, but he didn't know that the feeling when Zhao Bo's sword sank into the flesh and blood was so exhilarating.

The anger that was pent up in my heart these days broke out at this moment, he stabbed Emperor Wu Cheng, what should I do now?There was a voice in his head telling him, you have to run, they will always chase you after you, it is impossible to stop without seeing your body, you have to run, you have to escape.

Emperor Wu Cheng clutched his wound and fell to the ground. Wu Ting seemed to have heard his cry for help, but his memory was too far away, and he was not sure if he really heard it. There seemed to be a lot of people chasing him.

He fled all the way to the Tangli tree.

Under the tree, he saw two people.

Their posture is very strange, standing there upright, as if something will come out from behind as long as they move.

Wu Ting fell off his horse: "Rong Lu, Yue Qi, why are you here?!"

"Your Highness, don't come here, you go!"

Gan Tang's voice came out after a long absence: "Your Highness, I knew you would come back."

The blood on Wu Ting's sword had already dried, he approached vigilantly, and just took two steps, he heard Rong Lu shout: "Your Highness, don't come here!"

"Go and have a look, my little highness." Tang Lishu said gently.

Wu Ting had just escaped from the palace all the way. It was very strange. He remembered that there were many people chasing him, but when he recalled this place again, he found that there were many unexplainable things in it. For example, he stayed under the tree. For a long time, but no one caught up with him in the direction of the capital.

Memory is still going backwards.

Wu Ting walked around behind Yue Qi and Rong Lu, only to find that the clothes on their backs were already soaked in blood.

They are locked by two tree vines, like two puppets standing under the tree.

Wu Ting was about to save them, when Gan Tang's voice came from above his head: "Little Highness, why don't you ask me why I treat them like this?"

Wu Ting turned a deaf ear, just touched the branch with his hand, but it felt like a cold blade of iron and blood, he was startled.

At this moment, Gan Tang said slowly again: "Your Highness, they are going in the direction of Qiu Li, guess what they are doing?"

Wu Ting looked at the two people who were seriously injured: "Are you going back to Qiuli?"

Yue Qi said: "Your Highness, we are ordered by Emperor Cheng to return to Qiuli to pick up Madam to Beijing."

Wu Ting had just stabbed Emperor Cheng because of this incident, and in a blink of an eye he heard such words again, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

Gan Tang said: "Your Highness, this is the world, none of them treats you sincerely. Your father loves the common people very much, but he doesn't love you as a son. Your uncle treats you well only to marry your mother. Your Highness, have you not seen the matter clearly? If you save them today, I will not stop you, but from now on you will lose your mother, you have to think about it."

Wu Ting turned around in a daze, and said to the two of them: "I have regarded you as elder brothers since I was a child, why do you even betray me now?"

Yue Qi replied: "Your Highness, Emperor Cheng just wanted to bring his wife to Beijing to reunite with you, there was no malice—ah!"

A long sword pierced through his chest, and the unexpected attack caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed directly on Wu Ting's face.

At that moment just now, Wu Ting didn't know what happened. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that his hand was holding the sword tightly, and the sword pierced Yue Qi's left chest like this, and there was another Branches tangled around his hands.

It was Tangli who used the branches to control his hands, just like his husband taught him to write when he was a child, Tanglishu also taught Wu Ting to kill people.

Yue Qi's eyes were full of disbelief, "Your Highness..."

Zhao Bojian dropped his hand and fell to the ground, Yue Qi's aura became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared, but until he died, the branch inserted on his lute bone was not removed, he was nailed to the body, his head drooped silently. down.

Only Rong Lu and Wu Ting were left.

Rong Lu gently caressed Wu Ting's cheek, wiping the blood on the lines of his five fingers, "Your Highness, it must be very painful to kill the first person, right?"

Wu Ting took a step back, and at this step, a trace of disappointment appeared in Rong Lu's eyes, and he continued: "Little Highness, we are ordered by Emperor Cheng to go to Qiuli to pick up Madam to Beijing... He is your uncle, he will not harm Madam , and won't hurt you..."

"Shut up." Wu Ting said indifferently.

Rong Lu chuckled, with blood slowly oozing from his mouth, "Your Highness, you were not like this in the past."

Wu Ting: "If I don't let you go to Qiuli today, what will you do?"

Rong Lu replied: "I will still go."

Wu Ting: "For the emperor's order?"

Rong Lu: "For the emperor's order."

Wu Ting said: "But you have known me for so many years."

Rong Lu: "But he is the Son of Heaven."

"Just because he is the emperor, you have to do whatever he asks you to do?! Even if he asks you to kill me today, you will help him kill me?! Isn't it?!"

Wu Ting grabbed his collar, and the branches in Rong Lu's body pierced his flesh and blood, but he still held back and didn't cry out, only listening to him say: "Little Highness, Madam is still waiting for His Highness to go home in Qiuli , Your Highness is obedient, go home."

"Rong Lu, answer me," Wu Ting refused to let him go, "If uncle sent you to kill me today, would you really kill me?!"

Rong Lu stared into the boy's eyes, which were so clear when he came, but now there was only blood left.

After a long time, he said: "I know, our little highness has never killed anyone, and we don't like to kill people. It was very painful to kill the first person, but after killing one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, it's actually just a matter of time." There is no difference. Qiu Li, I will never go back again, I just ask the little highness to give me the whole body."

Wu Ting's eyes were red: "What did you say?"

Rong Lu raised his head, did not avoid his gaze, and said in an almost certain tone, "I will. If Emperor Cheng orders me to kill you, I will."

Hearing this answer, the last spark in Wu Ting's heart was extinguished.

It turns out that the love for many years is not as good as an order from the superior.

Rong Lu said again: "But Your Highness, I have been with you for ten years, and I have loved you deeply. If I really obey the emperor's order to kill you, I will not be able to live in this world calmly in the future, so...Your Highness, please I'm afraid, if I attack you, I will kill myself and apologize afterwards."

The Tangli tree did not speak until this moment, and only then did it utter a few strands of voice: "Your Highness, have you seen it? These are the foolish and loyal people of the world. To them, a god is nothing more than a statue painted with gold Like, as long as you reach that position, anyone can be a god. Since your father can be a god, and your uncle can be a god, why don't you try to be a god yourself? Your Highness, as long as you speak today, I will definitely help you."

At this moment, Rong Lu had a strong premonition: His little Highness would never go back.

His hands were covered in blood, just as he raised his shoulder to touch Wu Ting's, Wu Ting turned around and said to Tangli, "Help me."

Rong Lu lost his hand, and he watched the figure of the young man pick up the Zhaobo sword on the ground in the setting sun.

He knew that Qiu Li would lose his little Highness forever...

"That's all that happened that day." Yu Yanxi said, "So Mr. Jiu, do you understand now? He and Tangli are working together, and they want to ruin this era together."

Jiu Shigou still hugged Wu Ting tightly in his arms. He didn't know how Madam Yu knew these details, but obviously what she said was completely different from what Wu Ting had told him.

Jiu Shihou whispered in Wu Ting's ear: "I don't believe her, I only believe what you say."

But for the story his mother just told, Wu Ting himself is not so sure, as if those things did happen, or as if they happened to another person who has nothing to do with him, he can't tell the difference.

Yu Yanxi said: "Yingzhi, you always say that your uncle is sorry for you, but have you never thought about why you escaped from the palace so easily back then? Why did you escape all the way to the Tangli tree, but behind you Didn't you have a single chasing soldier? Why did you lead an army to rebel, but you had no more than [-] people, but you were able to go all the way to the Golden Palace? Why did Emperor Cheng die without any complaints when he died under your sword? Have you never thought about this? !"

Jiu Shihou was completely an outsider, but now he had to step in, there was so much enmity between mother and child, maybe it was a misunderstanding.The key is that he cannot let history continue to develop like this, otherwise he will lose even this person in history.

"How does Madam know this?" Jiu Shigou asked.

Yu Yanxi didn't turn her head back, "Ask him to come in."

Who please?

After looking at the door for a long time, he could feel Wu Ting's body tense, and even tremble slightly and continuously.

The two held hands tightly, and Wu Ting became more and more uneasy. He didn't know who would come in through the door. He just felt that the memories he had hidden for many years and didn't want to look directly at him were about to be uncovered and brutally tortured. exposed to all.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many years."

Come humanely.

Wu Ting was stunned, this person... didn't he already died under the Tangli tree back then? !

Didn't he block Tangli's attack for himself, and then die under that tree forever?

Rong Lu has gray temples, in fact he is not that old, but he is too vicissitudes, "Little Highness, do you still remember me?"

Wu Ting gritted his teeth: "You are not Rong Lu."

"I'm Rong Lu, Your Highness, don't you remember me?" Rong Lu walked up to Wu Ting step by step, and then knelt down straight.

Jiu Shi later subconsciously wanted to help him, but because his hands were occupied by Wu Ting, he just stared blankly at this person named Rong Lu.His impression of Rong Lu came from Wu Ting. He heard that before Wu Ting ascended the throne, Rong Lu was the guard sent by the palace to Qiu Li to protect His Royal Highness.

Rong Lu knocked his head heavily on the ground, and the moment he looked up, he saw a piece of his forehead broken after a long time.

Rong Lu said: "Your Highness, I accompanied you all the way to Beijing. Later, you stabbed Emperor Cheng and fled to the Tangli tree. There, the demon tree taught you to kill the first person - Yue Qi. Do you still remember?" More Qi? You still made an agreement with the demon tree..."
