This shadow guard is kinda nice

Two things have been circulating in the capital recently, one is the prince's rebellion, and the other is that the Wanyue Pavilion has completely disappeared into the rivers and lakes.

In the short few months since he took office, the new martial arts leader has only done two things. One is to call on the various sects to provide assistance to Pingyao, and the other is to unite with the Baijiao, Qingyun faction, and other martial arts decent schools to intervene in the court. Cholera Wulin denounced the Crescent Moon Pavilion.

The No. [-] killer organization in the Jianghu—the Wanyue Pavilion no longer exists, and it has become ordinary people's spare time.

Ren Mingfeng sat in a part of Mingyang Residence, listening to the people around him chatting casually, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and said to the girl sitting opposite him: "Eat slowly."

Yi Linglong paused for a moment with the hand holding the drumstick, and responded indiscriminately.

……

Xiao Yichen was lying on the soft chair reading a book, with a sleepy expression, a thin blanket was draped over his stomach.

After a long time, he put down the book, sat up, and called out naturally: "Mo..."

Just halfway through the name, he was stunned, and then realized that Mo Ran was no longer by his side.

Lin Sheng and Lu Jiu led the people, and they almost turned the mountains outside Jinling City upside down, and they didn't see Mo Ran.

Xiao Yichen rubbed his brows, he sighed, the palace was chaotic two days ago, he was busy stabilizing the situation, Wei Jue received the emperor's letter, and hurried back to Jinling, halfway, he asked Lin Hai to intercept him down.

Lin Hai knows current affairs, so he naturally knows who is the one who has the final say in Jinling.

Xiao Yichen was busy for a few days in a row, during the day it was okay, there were a lot of things waiting for him to do, he had no time to mourn the spring and autumn, and at night, when the night was quiet, all those longings would be returned.

He also asked himself in his heart, do you regret it?Mo Ran was so uneasy the day before he left, but he still chose to let him take the people from Xuanjia Camp.

Over the years, he made countless decisions.

When he was seven years old, he couldn't see where the way out was, but he decided to spend all the silver he had on him to buy Moran, and even, it was not enough, Lin Sheng gave the other half of the silver. When he was 12 years old, he sent Mo Ran to the place where the shadow guards were trained in the palace. It was strange to say that at that time, he always inexplicably believed that Mo Ran could come back alive, and Mo Ran did not disappoint him. At the age of 16, he realized that he could no longer stay in the palace. Having never been to a battlefield, he decided to go to the frontier. This trip lasted for four years.

He never regretted any decision he made, but this time, he rarely doubted himself whether the decision he made was right or not.

He was still thinking about it, but Lin Sheng came over, and he brought the same news as the previous two days, but Mo Ran was still not found.

Xiao Yichen remained silent, and Lin Sheng sat down on the chair next to him, with a rather earnest expression, looking like he wanted to have a good talk with him.

Xiao Yichen took a step ahead of him, "I'm fine, you don't need to say anything to comfort me."

Lin Sheng was speechless, with a look of worry on his face, could it be okay to tell him that it's okay and treat Lin Sheng as blind?

"Don't always take everything in your heart, I know you are uncomfortable," Lin Sheng looked at Xiao Yichen, put away that foolish look, and said very seriously: "Even if you want to cry to your heart's content now It's better than the current one..." Lin Sheng paused, as if he was thinking about what words to use to describe Xiao Yichen's current appearance.

After a while, he said: "...It's good to lose your soul."

Xiao Yichen shook his head and smiled, he got up from the chair, Lin Sheng's eyes followed him, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Xiao Yichen walked up to him, looked down at him condescendingly, then bent down, the two were very close, Lin Sheng was inexplicably timid, his Adam's apple slipped, and he swallowed.

"I'm really fine, not as fragile as you think." Xiao Yichen pressed Lin Sheng's shoulder, "I'm not going to die or live."

Lin Sheng's scalp was numb, and he tried to see something in Xiao Yichen's eyes, but his pupils were pitch black, and with his sharp eyesight, he really couldn't see anything.

He finally had to raise his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Okay, okay, you're not going to die or live, it's very good," Lin Sheng said helplessly, "Is that okay?"

Xiao Yichen stood up and wanted to continue to argue with him, but Butler Wang came in and said that His Majesty wants the prince to enter the palace now.

Xiao Yichen's expression froze, Lin Cheng stood up suddenly, the two of them looked at each other, when Xiao Yichen turned to leave, Lin Sheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Yichen's wrist.

Xiao Yichen turned his head.

"I go with you."

Xiao Yichen looked at the nervous Lin Sheng with a funny face, knowing that he was worried about him, he reached out and patted Lin Sheng's hand on his wrist, "It's fine, I'll just go by myself."

Lin Sheng was worried, but he also knew that he couldn't convince Xiao Yichen, so he could only tell him, "Be careful in everything."

Although the entire imperial palace is currently occupied by his Xuanjia camp, he is still afraid that the emperor will ask Xiao Yichen to go alone, and he has no good intentions.

Xiao Yichen nodded, "I will." He took his hand out of Lin Sheng's palm and took two steps. Lin Sheng finally said behind him, "I'll wait for you outside the palace gate."

Xiao Yichen smiled, and he waved his hand.

The condensed incense was still burning in the Xihua Hall. When Xiao Yichen entered, the emperor was sitting in front of the desk. He was very energetic today. He mostly lay on the bed for the past few days. Today, he was more energetic, so he sent someone to call Xiao Yichen to come. Come.

Xiao Yichen didn't salute, he sat down on a chair beside him, the emperor didn't care about etiquette at this moment, he coughed, Eunuch Fu quickly patted his back, and a cup of hot tea was delivered to the emperor.

The emperor didn't drink, and Eunuch Fu stepped aside.

Xiao Yichen raised his eyes, because of Qing Sha and the incident of the prince's rebellion a few days ago, the emperor was much older, he looked intently, the white hair on the emperor's temples became visible to the naked eye.

The emperor didn't say a word, and when Xiao Yichen looked away, he slowly opened his mouth, "I called you here today, just to say, withdraw all those people from the Xuanjia Camp."

There was no news of Wei Jue, and it seemed that he had already fallen into Xiao Yichen's hands. The palace was full of people from the Xuanjia Camp, and now he was almost imprisoned in the palace.It was Xiao Yichen who started with the crown prince, but who really achieved it.

Xiao Yichen leaned back, he found a comfortable position, smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "This is for His Majesty's safety," he tilted his head slightly, "In case someone else The intention is wrong, but no one came to rescue him."

The emperor's face was livid, even though he had thought that Xiao Yichen would say this, when he heard it with his own ears, he was still very angry.

He turned his head and gasped for breath. His current body couldn't withstand his anger. He glanced at Eunuch Fu and motioned for him to take the things on the table.

Eunuch Fu nodded, the shining scroll dazzled people's eyes, Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't take it, but looked at the emperor and said, "What's the meaning of this?"

The emperor said coldly, "If you open it and have a look, you'll know?"

Xiao Yichen looked at the emperor for a while, then suddenly hooked his lips, and smiled casually, "What if I don't want to?"

"You—" the emperor slapped the table, he was furious after all, but the momentum was not as good as before.The one who got the cheap and acted like a good boy was the person in front of him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

It is ironic to say that he has been chasing power all his life, but in the end, he also fell on it. His son, for the sake of power, did not hesitate to rebel and force him to abdicate.Obviously he can wait a little longer, the world belongs to him, but he insists on choosing the worst path...

After successive physical and mental blows, the emperor became more and more powerless, and then he had the idea of ​​abdicating. To the old fifth who he didn't like the most and looked down on the most.

Now that he wants to give it, there is still a faint hint that he doesn't want it.

But now the throne still has to be him, for the sake of his Xiao family's country, only Xiao Yichen is capable enough to sit on this seat, otherwise, whenever there is a second choice, he would not give the throne to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen had seen enough of the emperor's wonderful expressions, unwilling and helpless, he laughed lazily, and reached out to take the imperial decree from Fu Gonggong's hand.

Such a light thing, which weighs nothing in the hand, has attracted many people to fight for it.

Seeing that he had taken the imperial edict, the emperor didn't want to see him again, and waved him to get out of here quickly. He wanted to live for a few more years.

Xiao Yichen didn't want to stay too long, he turned around and left, when he was almost at the door, the emperor's weak voice came from inside.

"Where's the shadow guard next to you?"

The emperor suddenly remembered the news from the imperial army that Xiao Yichen got together with the shadow guard next to him. He didn't care at that time, because his favorite heir was not Xiao Yichen, so it doesn't matter what Xiao Yichen likes men, Whether he likes women, it doesn't matter to him.

Now, it's different.

Xiao Yichen was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and if the new emperor liked a man, it would be like a stain on their royal family.

He doesn't allow this to happen.

Xiao Yichen paused in his steps, and instantly squeezed the palm of his sleeve tightly. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging. His expression was gloomy. After several times of control, he said lightly.

"died."

The emperor was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good."

Xiao Yichen kept walking all the way out of the palace gate. Lin Sheng was waiting for him outside the palace gate. Seeing that he came out safe and sound, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

A few days later, Ren Mingfeng and Yi Linglong came to Prince Xuan's mansion to look for Xiao Yichen, and the dinner was finally agreed, but Mo Ran was missing.

Yi Linglong drank too much, so Ran Yue helped her to the guest room to rest, leaving only Xiao Yichen and Ren Mingfeng drinking.

The two sat on the roof, the summer wind was always gentle, blowing gently, refreshing.

The wine jugs in his hands collided, and after the crisp sound, Xiao Yichen raised his head and took a big gulp of wine.

The spiciness went down all the way, but he didn't seem to feel it, and continued to drink.

Ren Mingfeng pressed his wrist with one hand, Xiao Yichen turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Ren Mingfeng looked at his watery eyes, which were hazy, and because of this, he couldn't see clearly what Xiao Yichen was thinking.

"It's boring to drink wine like this, brother Chu."

He is still the same as before, calling him Brother Chu, not King Xuan. No, it should be said that after tonight, he will rule the world and become the lord of the world.

Xiao Yichen brushed away the hand that was holding him down, then raised his head and took another sip, "It's interesting to drink like this."

Ren Mingfeng shook his head, he didn't say anything else, he also raised his head and took a sip.

After a long time, he asked a question that he had been wanting to ask since he met Xiao Yichen today.

"Do you regret it?" Ren Mingfeng asked.

Xiao Yichen put one hand on his leg and lowered it casually, his eyes were empty and blank, as if he had concealed all the mountains, rivers and rivers in this world, but there was only one thing missing.

Regret?

Xiao Yichen himself asked this question himself

After a long time, when Ren Mingfeng thought he couldn't speak, Xiao Yichen said: "I don't regret it."

"Again, it's the same."

He may doubt it, but he will not regret it.

"Why?" Ren Mingfeng asked puzzled.Even though he was already so sad, he still said he didn't regret it.

Xiao Yichen smiled softly, those low words followed the wind and blew into Ren Mingfeng's ears.

"It's true to like him, and it's true to want this country."

"So, nothing to regret."

Ren Mingfeng's fingertips trembled, followed by a heart full of shock, such light and light words, but also such a powerful voice.

When he regained his senses, Xiao Yichen had already flown down to the roof, and there was a voice in his heart that shouted frantically, must speak out, must speak out, and at the same time inexplicably, he called out to Xiao Yichen.

Xiao Yichen's footsteps did not stop.

Ren Mingfeng didn't care too much, and the voice with inner strength hit Xiao Yichen's heart directly.

"Chu Yunhe has come to Pingyao. He is looking for someone with the jade pendant that Mo Ran lost."

Xiao Yichen's footsteps stopped, his expression was confused, his nerves were paralyzed by the wine, his thinking slowed down, it seemed that after thinking for a long time, he finally figured out what jade pendant and what Chu Yunhe was.

He got up again, Ren Mingfeng was behind him, watching his figure melt into the thick night.

……

The red sun is rising, and the bells are ringing everywhere.

Xiao Yichen stepped up to the high stage step by step, until at the end, he turned around, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." straight into the sky.

He raised his eyes slightly, the thin mist dissipated, and the red sun burst out from the mountains.

At this moment, everything in Chongde's time is relegated to the past, and a new era, the era belonging to Xiao Yichen, has begun.

The author has something to say: ——After the first volume——

The first volume is finally finished. I originally expected to finish chapters 76-80 with 20 words, but it was a bit delayed after writing 86 chapters with 24 words. The story has many shortcomings, but I still thank everyone for coming here together, thank you!

Open the next volume two days later, maybe Friday or Saturday (save some manuscripts, I don’t feel at ease if I don’t have five chapters in my hand, QAQ)

The second volume is expected to be 6 to 8 words, and the two will really be together. They won’t be abused. Don’t worry, the main reason is that they don’t know how to write about abuse.

Finally, thank you all
