Xuantian Gate

Amidst the wind and snow, a huge army was ready to attack under the city wall.

Ming Su stood on the city wall, his back looking desolate, with only a few scattered personal soldiers left by his side, ready for the final fight.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the shattered mountains and rivers before him, with ruins and broken walls everywhere and smoke everywhere.

A feeling of unwillingness welled up in his heart. He ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, and before he reached the age of twenty, he had revived the weak Ming Dynasty. He employed wise ministers, eliminated treacherous officials, and punished corrupt officials.

Now, he was defeated by Xiao Ying.

"Ming Su, I'll give you one stick of incense. As long as you take off your hair and crown, leave the city and present the imperial seal in surrender, I will spare your life and ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

In the distance, Xiao Ying, riding on a tall horse, shouted in the direction of Ming Su.

He was full of vigor and ambition, with an overbearing aura and a hint of superiority.

When Ming Su heard Xiao Ying's call, he felt like he was hearing a joke.

He replied with great disdain, "If you want my throne, you have to walk over my dead body. Otherwise, even if I only have one breath left, I will never bow down to you!"

"In that case, then wait for me to come and take your life!" After saying that, he gave the order to start attacking the city.

Ming Su was not afraid at all. If he really died today, it was his fate. The emperor guards the national border and the king dies for the country. There is no reason to abandon the city and escape for his life.

The moment he sat in that seat, he was already prepared.

"Your Majesty...Mr. Lin is here!" suddenly, one of the guards shouted.

Ming Su's heart sank suddenly, and he turned around to look in the direction the guard pointed.

Under the heavy snow, Lin Zhiyan, dressed in thin clothes, was seen holding onto the edge of the wall, swaying and walking slowly towards them.

Ming Su cursed in his heart and quickly ran towards Lin Zhiyan.

He continued to curse, "What are you doing here?! Do you know it's dangerous here?! Where is Li Zhong? Didn't I ask him to take you away?"

Ming Su was anxious, so he spoke much faster than usual, and looked at Lin Zhiyan with a look of disappointment.

"You, take him away quickly!" he ordered a guard beside him.

"Asu," Lin Zhiyan called him softly.

Ming Su's body suddenly shook. He looked at Lin Zhiyan in disbelief and asked uncertainly, "What did you call me just now?"

Lin Zhiyan smiled softly, as bright as a crabapple blossom in spring, making Ming Su dazed for a moment.

It was as if I saw the first time I met Lin Zhiyan, bright and passionate.

"Asu, you have too many questions. Which one should I answer?"

Hearing the other person calling him like this again, he was so happy that he pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Call me again, call me twice more, I love to hear it!"

Lin Zhiyan looked at his worthless appearance and laughed out loud: "Are you really that happy? Calling you like this, Asu..."

"Of course I'm happy. In the past, you either called me a tyrant or told me to get out. You never gave me a good face." He said this with a rare childishness.

"Can I call you like this from now on?" Lin Zhiyan helped him tidy up his messy hair and said in a very gentle tone.

Ming Su hugged him tighter and couldn't help but kiss the mole between his eyebrows.

She said: "That would be great. Of course, if you are willing to call me husband, I will dig out my heart for you to play with."

Lin Zhiyan's eyebrows curved, and he rarely teased him, "Then I will be born as a girl in my next life and be your wife?"

"I don't care if you're a man or a woman, as long as you're you.

In this life, the next life, and the next ten lives, we will be together forever and ever, never to be separated!"

Lin Zhiyan poked his head out from his arms and said, "Isn't it too greedy..."

Then he blinked and added: "Then you have to look for me carefully, don't find the wrong person, I won't be able to wait for you to marry me."

Ming Su's voice was choked with sobs, and he smiled: "How could that be? I can recognize you at first sight. No matter what you look like, I like you."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Zhiyan to speak again, he ordered someone to escort him away.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyan hugged his waist tightly and refused to leave.

Ming Su patted her back and coaxed her softly, "Alright, leave with them first. I'll come find you in a few days. Be obedient!"

After hearing this, Lin Zhiyan slowly came out of his arms and looked at him very seriously.

Then, Lin Zhiyan gently grabbed his sleeve and said, "Asu, can you let me wear your dragon robe?"

Ming Su smiled, not caring too much, and said lovingly: "Sure, you can have the throne if you want!"

After that, he took off his bright yellow dragon robe and carefully put it on him, not forgetting to flatter him: "It looks so good, it seems that you are very suitable to be the emperor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was gently kissed on the lips. The warm touch shocked his heart and made him not want to let Lin Zhiyan leave. He had a silly smile on his face.

"The Jiangdong youths are so talented, they might make a comeback. My husband, run for your life!"

Before Ming Su could recover from the word "husband", Lin Zhiyan let go of Ming Su's hand and jumped down from the city wall.

With a loud "bang", blood splattered and sprinkled on the snow on the ground, like a withered crabapple flower.

There was a moment of silence that caught everyone off guard.

"Look! The dog emperor jumped down!!" the people below reacted and shouted.

Ming Su leaned against the wall, his whole body trembling. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. The feeling of suffocation surged over him like a tide.

"Your Majesty! Let's go!" a guard couldn't help but persuade.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head, glanced at the man, and ignored him.

Snowflakes fell one after another, landing in his hair, just like a young man's white hair.

He paced slowly towards the edge of the city wall, and every step felt like carrying a thousand-pound rock.

As my fingertips touched the fence, a chill penetrated my heart.

He lowered his eyes to look down at the city wall, but then retracted his gaze. His lips turned pale as he said to the guards, "You protect Prince Ling and send him out of the palace. Tell him not to worry about it in the future and just be a commoner."

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to respond.

"You don't want to listen to me now, do you?"

One of them swallowed hard and finally answered, "Yes!"

Then, everyone left quickly.

Ming Su stared into the distance with a dull look, and recalled the first time he saw Lin Zhiyan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"There are many talented people in Jiangdong. Who knows if they can make a comeback?" He lowered his head and laughed bitterly, "But without you, what's the point of making a comeback..."

“Xiao Ying!!!”

Ming Su's eyes were fierce, as if he had turned back into the unshakable emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"I have become the ruler of a fallen nation. This is all my fault, and has nothing to do with the people. You may divide my body as you please, but do not harm a single citizen of the Ming nation."

After saying that, he took off his crown and let his hair down, then slowly took out an old hairband from his sleeve and tied it around his wrist meticulously.

He looked into the distance with burning eyes and said with a smile, "Wait for me."

Then, a figure fell down from the city wall without hesitation.

Looking down from the city wall, a figure was holding another person tightly under him.

The heavy snow raged, slowly covering the two people's black hair with a layer of white.
