All rivers and mountains are safe

Lu Ciheng put his finger to his lips, signaling Lu Chengjing to calm down, and asked him with a half-smile if he heard anything.

Lu Chengjing's heart beat fast because of his excitement, and it took him a long time to calm down. His heartbeat gradually stabilized, and the voice beside his ears became clearer.

Like the sound of well-trained horseshoes coming from far and near, Lu Chengjing could even hear the sound of armor colliding. He looked at Lu Ciheng in doubt and panic: "What is this sound?"

"The Xuanjia Army is right outside the gate of the palace." Lu Ciheng waved the black military order in front of him, with a cold killing intent in his sharp brows, "As long as I give the order, Li Xingyuan will lead people Come in."

"If you don't pass it on to me, I will directly change the dynasty and restore Daxia." Lu Ciheng curled his lips, "The emperor of Daxia endured humiliation for more than [-] years to avenge his father, and this throne falls into my hands. gone."

"...You!" Lu Chengjing pointed at him with trembling fingers, so angry that he couldn't speak, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Lu Ciheng took a step back in disgust, and said without any ups and downs in his voice: "It's just that what you did to Ran Mo will be made public when the time comes, and you will be despised by the common people and ridiculed by future generations."

"Shut up!" Lu Chengjing's reaction was extremely violent. After Ran Mo's death, Lu Chengjing has been living in pain and regret for these years.

In the first few years, this kind of emotion was very weak. Lu Chengjing could still deal with the government affairs normally, and had fun everywhere, but no matter what he did, he seemed to be able to see Ran Mo.

Many times Lu Chengjing looked over in a daze, only to find that it was just a phantom in his imagination.

Later, he discovered the crux of the problem and began to search for capable people and strangers in the world. Zhao Tianshi lied to him, and he was willing to be deceived, because the method Zhao Tianshi cast made him feel that he could really see Ran Mo several times, and that he could see Ran Mo again. Talk to him again as you did when he was alive.

He looked at Lu Ciheng in front of him, and was in a daze for a moment, but what Lu Ciheng said next was like a knife piercing into the bone, mercilessly tearing open his scabbed old wound.

Lu Ciheng's voice was light and light, with some cold sarcasm and disdain, "Zhang Ling said, tell him that after you die, you and Ran Mo will be buried together?"

Without waiting for Lu Chengjing to return to him, Lu Ciheng said: "You destroyed Da Xia and treated Ran Mo like that, and you knew in your heart that you couldn't atone for your crime, so you were looking for cicadas and people to worship, but when he was alive I just don’t want to see you, do you think he will be willing to be buried with you after he dies?”

Lu Chengjing's lips trembled violently, "The place where he was buried is a double tomb, and I left a place beside his coffin..."

After Ran Mo's death, Lu Chengjing was sober but not sober. He begged himself to live forever, begged Ran Mo to come back to life, and arranged a home for himself beside Ran Mo's coffin, but he was reluctant to die. survived.

Although he knew in his heart that bringing the dead back to life was nonsense, but he was unwilling to give up any possible hope.

Now that the deadline is approaching, Lu Chengjing suddenly felt that it was meaningless for him to pursue the throne he had held on all his life. Everyone was after power, position and money, but whether he would bring these things with him in life or die, he now only had the last bit of obsession.

For the first time, he humbled himself in front of Lu Ciheng, "You buried me with Ran Mo..."

"Then tell me, where is the seal?" Lu Ciheng stared at him deeply, with a bewitching voice, "Same quilt for life, same hole for death, isn't that what you want most? If you tell me, I will grant your wish."

Lu Chengjing was in grief, his cloudy and deep-set eyes slid across Lu Ciheng's face, his eyes wandered erratically in the empty hall, and finally settled on the dark compartment beside the bed.

Lu Ciheng followed his line of sight, winked at Zhang Ling, stood beside Lu Chengjing's bed, and said in a lower voice, "If you can be buried with him, maybe you can find him in the next life..."

The seal was placed by Lu Chengjing in the dark compartment next to the bed, on which was engraved a complicated and vigorous dragon head. Lu Ciheng took the jade seal and dipped it in the ink pad and pressed it on the decree he had prepared in advance.

During the period, he was still worried that Lu Chengjing would be provoked, but until he finished printing and picked up the seal, Lu Chengjing's eyes were empty and he didn't respond, as if he had completely lost his anger. After a while, he turned his head and asked Lu Ciheng again worriedly , "You want to bury me with him."

The seal was pressed and the dust settled.

A smile broke out on Lu Ciheng's lips, and he said nonchalantly, "Come and talk to me after you're dead."

Lu Chengjing opened his mouth, staring at Lu Ciheng firmly, his eyeballs protruding from his sunken eye sockets, he shouted with all his strength: "——Lu Ciheng!!"

Lu Ciheng pretended not to hear, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

The weather outside the Huaxing Hall was fine, and the surroundings were empty. Only Li Xingyuan and more than a dozen guards rode on horses in an orderly manner, waiting for him outside the hall.

There was no Xuanjia army outside the palace gate at all, and the words he said when threatening Lu Chengjing in the palace were just a game set up by Lu Ciheng.

The military order is true, and it is also true that Lu Ciheng was able to mobilize the Xuanjia Army. He was in the Northwest back then. It's very heart-warming.

So when he told Lu Chengjing that the Xuanjia Army was outside the palace gate, Lu Chengjing didn't even become suspicious.

But Lu Ciheng didn't do this, there is no other reason, the Xuanjia Army is so majestic, so many people appearing at the gate of the palace is too eye-catching, if Lu Ciheng really let the Xuanjia Army stand guard at the gate of the palace, no matter how you look at it It's like trying to force the palace.

In this way, no matter whether his throne is orthodox, it will be easy to prove it.

But now that Lu Chengjing had a stroke and was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move, there was nothing to fear, so Lu Ciheng just asked Li Xingyuan to lead more than ten people on horseback outside the hall, pretending to be grand.

Lu Ciheng did his best to make the world think that it was logical for Lu Chengjing to pass on the throne to him, and he did not intend to let Shen Mingan know about these things he did.

He used to want the throne because he wanted to trample down those who looked down on him and bullied him when he was a child, but now he wanted the throne for Shen Mingan.

Previously, Lu Ciheng always thought that there was a lot of time for planning and planning, so he prepared for today's event in a leisurely manner, but since he knew that Shen Ming'an was pregnant, he couldn't wait any longer.

Not to mention anything else, just the matter of Lin Cheng, Shen Mingan almost had a miscarriage because of this, Lu Ciheng would be terrified whenever he thought about it, if he was already the king of a country at that time, such a thing would definitely not have happened.

Power is good when one person can command tens of thousands of people to follow him. After he ascended the throne, Shen Ming'an no longer has to be restrained and controlled by others.
