Mu Hanzhong

On the evening of the 26th, the gate of the capital, which had been closed since Emperor Yunlie was seriously ill and bedridden, slowly opened after a heavy muffled sound.Thirty thousand uniformed cavalry entered Xuanzhu City, the power center of Yin Kingdom, in an orderly manner.They moved quickly, silently, and there was a terrifying chill on their bodies. Every household on the street closed their doors and windows, and the bustling and prosperous city in the past was suddenly bleak and quiet.

The last ray of sunlight slowly disappeared under the horizon, and the sky and the earth fell into darkness. After a while, the lamps and candles on the side of the street were lit up, and the lights were densely connected into thin lines, criss-crossing, like a huge chessboard between the vast sky and the earth.

At the Taihe Gate of Miyagi, the standing guards seemed to turn a blind eye to the cavalry who broke into the palace at night. Groups of troops drove into Miyagi from various palace gates. In the past, Miyagi was peaceful and quiet. This night, The sound of horseshoes echoed for a long time.

When Wu Keming, the commander of the Fourth Army in the right wing of the Tianwu Army, came to the front of the Chongzheng Hall, a gust of wind blew towards him, tearing off his black cloak violently.

He took big steps, very fast, and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the empty hall and building, and dispersed far away.

On the winding eaves resting on the hanging ridge, the fairy riding the wind and the beasts stand with their heads held high, in different postures.The faintly sprinkled light slightly dissipated the heavy darkness, and a tall and straight white figure stood behind the white marble railing of Chuanhua Longwen, with his hands behind his back, and his black hair was blown high by the strong wind.

"The last general has seen the lord." Wu Keming bowed half-kneeling three steps away from the man, "I tell you, the lord, most of those on duty in front of the palace and in the infantry and cavalry who saw the late emperor's edict have surrendered. Those who resisted have all been imprisoned in the dungeon."

The man in white didn't move, and after a long time, he turned around slowly.In the night, his pupils reflected the candlelight, indifferent and indifferent, his exquisite facial features were intertwined with shadows, but they were unusually sharp.

"Very good." He opened his mouth lightly, glanced at the people on the ground, and said again, "Send Ding Yun, He Gu, and Xu Zhai to send 3000 people to the inner city and show me their families. gone."

"The general will obey." Wu Keming replied in a low voice, saluted and got up, and left in a hurry just like when he came.

The night was dark and the cold wind was howling. However, this night was destined to be different from the countless quiet winter nights before, and it was destined to have an extremely heavy stroke in the history books.

The time was November 17, 26th year of Yunqing, Huanye King Mu Hanzhong led [-] cavalry straight into Xuanzhu.Such behavior, when Emperor Lie had just passed away, if he didn't want to be called a traitor who wanted to rebel, he needed a proper and legitimate name.

And the edict of Emperor Lie is this title.

The generals of the Fourth Army, who wanted to stand by and remain neutral, and did not want to get involved in the battle for the imperial throne, also left the camp to swear allegiance when they saw the letter written by Emperor Lie to Mu Hanzhong a few months ago.

Si Huang Han Yu and Si Huang Han Lian colluded secretly, were wanton and wanton, murdered Emperor Lie, imprisoned brothers, were unfaithful and unfilial, they were traitors... Several heinous crimes were read aloud by Huanye King to the crowd, and the crowd was outraged.

However, in just one day, Xuan Zhu's power suddenly changed again!

The sun was shining brightly, and the gate of the Forbidden Palace where the princes were under house arrest was finally slowly opened.

The wanton pouring sunlight shines on the tall figure strolling out.The man standing against the light was tall and handsome. In his calm eyes, the absolute power was irresistible.

In just half a day, King Huanye, who had controlled the huge palace, stood at the top of Xuanzhu with the absolute force behind him, and when he saw the man, he knelt down deeply.

In the edict of Emperor Lie, King Shunyu, Sihuang, was established as the new emperor.

……

"Han Zhong."

A familiar male voice sounded behind him, and at the same time, a soft, thick robe with warmth fell on the man in white.

Wu Ye woke up from his contemplation, turned his head and looked at the man standing beside him, "Third Brother."

"What are you looking at?" Si Huang Hanhong followed his example and looked up at the night sky. There was no full moon or bright stars, just a vast expanse of darkness.

"..." Wu Ye didn't answer, but just tightened the cloak on his body, bowed his head and said, "Shouldn't the third brother be resting in the mansion at this time?... You have been in the palace for so long, my sister-in-law is probably worried. .”

Si Huang Hanhong chuckled helplessly, his smile was very gentle, but with a touch of bitterness and self-deprecation.His gaze turned to his younger brother beside him, and he gave the same irrelevant answer: "I've troubled you again. If it wasn't for you, Han Zhong... this time, I, Huang Hanhong..."

"Third brother." The cold voice suddenly became serious, Wu Ye looked up and looked back: "Promises need to be kept. Since I made a promise, I will definitely keep it."

"..." Si Huanghanhong was stunned for a moment, he opened his lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end he just looked away silently and didn't make a sound.

"Third Brother... Believe me, one day, you will stand above ten thousand people and rule the world."

Under the moonlight, there are the firm eyes of the young man in front of him.

Looking at Wu Ye's thin figure, he was slightly lost in thought.There was a faint emotion in my heart, but I couldn't tell what it was.The past years vaguely appeared in front of his eyes, as if not long ago, this younger brother fell into his arms with tears in his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he had grown into a handsome young man.

Not only did he no longer need his protection, but he became the one he could rely on at the last moment.

He sighed lowly, stretched out his arm, and wrapped it around Wu Ye's shoulder.

Wu Ye looked back at him, met those amber eyes, and smiled slowly.

The two stood still in the dark night, each with their own thoughts.Wu Ye still raised his head, his gaze pierced the sky and fell to an unknown place.

Sihuang Hanhong looked sideways at the young man in front of him. He seemed to have a strange and calming power. Just watching silently like this, the turbulent emotions in his heart gradually calmed down.

"Third brother, it's late at night, you should go back to your residence to rest. The enthronement ceremony in a few days will require sufficient physical strength."

Withdrawing his gaze, Wu Ye suddenly opened his mouth, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his dark eyes stared at the tall and tall man in front of him with warmth.

Sihuang Hanhong nodded, retracted his arms, and was about to turn around, but remembered something and stopped in his tracks: "Han Zhong, come back home with me."

Wu Ye shook his head.

"You look very bad." Sihuang Hanhong began to look at his younger brother's face at this moment, his eyebrows frowned, and he was about to pull him away forcefully, "There are them here, so don't worry. Let's go, and three Brother go back to the house."

Wu Ye gently pulled away his arm, stared at him, and sighed lowly: "Third brother, go back first. I... want to be quiet again."

Quiet again?

What is quiet?

Si Huang Hanhong was full of doubts in the end, but under the traces of deep fatigue that the young man in front of him turned his head and lowered his eyes inadvertently, he gave up the plan to persuade him again, and went out of the palace alone to go back to the mansion to rest.

Behind him, the white in the darkness, still straightened his back, standing in front of the empty hall, looking up at the sky, letting the cold wind blow his clothes and long hair, and he remained motionless.

In the endless darkness, wave after wave of pain came from all over his body, endlessly, as if he was in the flames of hell, trembling and moaning, unable to escape, he could only bear it.

Suddenly, a gust of coolness engulfed his whole body like a tide, and the pain slowly dissipated. His shattered body was put back together piece by piece, and a trace of consciousness was gathered back. It seemed important to hold a title in his mouth, but he forgot. Get it clean.

In a trance, someone was stroking his forehead, extremely gentle.In the confusion of consciousness, a pair of eyes with a faint smile emerged.

—My lord!

That title was finally spat out.Great joy surged past him, and he stood up on his knees, struggling to feel for that person.However, it was unexpectedly futile, and the tentacles were all nothingness.

Suddenly, the cold chill penetrated into the bones.He lowered his head and was surprised to find that at some time, the blood-red water had already flooded his chest, and a figure was floating in the water not far away.

The body walked towards that side uncontrollably, and then stopped.

A pale face was half submerged in the blood-colored water, his eyes were wide open, as if full of unwillingness, blood-red liquid flowed out from his eye sockets, nostrils, ear holes, and lips, the originally handsome face was miserable, strange, and extremely hideous.

——My lord? !

Lost and helpless pierced through him, his heart felt like an ice cellar, he wanted to take another step forward, but found that his body couldn't move at all.The whole body is as heavy as a mountain.

At this moment, the person floating in the water sat up suddenly, stared straight at him with big empty eyes, blood dripped from the corners of his eyes, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his pale lips, and his lips moved silently.

Yes, you, harm, death, me!

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

——It was him, it was he who killed the Lord!

He fell to the ground, howled silently, and under endless pain, he finally opened his eyes...

"what!--"

Ren Qiu who was changing the towel on his forehead suddenly yelled, and the towel fell to the ground with a snap.

Ren He was walking in with a decoction, and was so frightened that he almost spilled the medicine.

"What are you screaming for?!" Ren He couldn't help being angry, he put the medicine bowl heavily on the table in front of the bed, and said coldly.

"He, he, he... wake up, wake up...!" Ren Qiu pointed at the man on the bed, staring wide-eyed with a look of extreme fear.

Ren He snorted, is it necessary to be so frightened when one wakes up?While thinking, he walked to the edge of the bed and raised his eyes to see the person lying on the bed.

As a result, with just one glance, his whole body became stiff as iron, and he almost stopped breathing.

The eyes that were opened were devoid of emotion and focus, but the endless murderous aura emanating from those bottomless eyes was no longer something two teenagers could resist.

Ren Zongjin, who was drinking tea and flipping through books in a room outside, felt the sudden coldness almost at the same time, his eyes sank, and he quickly walked into the room inside.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he was taken aback by the passionate and cold killing intent, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

His heart was shocked, but his face remained calm. He strode to the front of the bed and stretched his arms to protect Ren Qiu and Ren He behind him. person's next move.

However, after a few moments, the man slowly closed his eyes and passed out again.

Ren Zongjin waited for a long time before relaxing his body, took a deep breath, turned around and patted the heads of the two teenagers who were obviously still in great panic and couldn't recover.

The two teenagers immediately cuddled into his arms as if they had found a clinging bird. After trembling for a long time, they slowly calmed down.

"Qiu'er, what's going on?" Ren Zongjin's voice was rare.

Ren Qiu had lingering fears, and said that he followed Ren Zongjin's instructions and applied ice water to the man's forehead to cool down, but did not do much.

Hearing what he said, Ren Zongjin thought about it for a while, and finally had an explanation in his mind.

Among those who practice martial arts, those who are advanced in martial arts can easily distinguish the aura of each person.However, under severe injuries, when the consciousness is not fully awake, it is still possible to radiate such a terrifying murderous intent... In Jianghu, it is very rare.Only those killer assassins who walk on the edge of life and death...

Thinking about it, his face became more and more serious...

Things seemed to be going beyond his expectations.

"Young Master Ren."

The melodious voice, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, suddenly came from outside, and the three of them were stunned.

Ren Zongjin restrained his thoughts, comforted the frightened two people a little, then dressed up and walked out.

Before the round table, at an unknown time, a young woman in a light yellow dress appeared, standing on one side.Seeing him coming, he saluted respectfully: "Pavilion Master invites you to come and talk." After finishing speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Ren Zongjin had been waiting in Xuanzhu for a long time, and what he had been waiting for was this moment, and he couldn't conceal the joy on his face: "Please wait a moment, miss."

Then he went in and explained some things to Ren Qiu and Ren He, and then walked out quickly: "Please lead the way, girl."

The woman in yellow was silent and nodded slightly.

She took Ren Zongjin out of the guest house quickly, walked through several streets, walked into Xuanzhu's most famous brothel, walked straight to the back hall, and stepped up the stairs, finally at the second floor of a pavilion. A room stopped.

"The pavilion master is inside, Mr. Ren, please come in." This was the second sentence the woman said tonight.

Ren Zongjin quietly looked around, stopped in front of the door for a few moments, and then pushed the door open.

A woman was dressed in purple, her black hair was rolled up like a waterfall, revealing her snow-white neck.Hearing the sound, she turned to look at the person coming.

It's not as stunning as Ren Zongjin imagined, but the aura that emerges from the inside hidden under the weak appearance makes people unable to underestimate it.

——Is this the owner of Wuzhi Building, Dong Qingyan? !

Ren Zongjin walked forward slowly, with a calm expression on his handsome face.

"Hey, tell me, what exactly does this man do?"

The medicine was fed, the wound medicine was applied, the towel was changed, and all of a sudden, Ren Qiu was free.He propped his chin, leaned against the couch under the window, looked at the sleeping man on the bed from a distance, and asked in a drawn-out voice.

However, the other person in the room didn't make any response, just stepped on the other side of the short table and closed his eyes.

Ren Qiu waited patiently for a while, seeing that the person opposite still didn't pay attention to his intentions, he frowned immediately: "Hey! Are you deaf? I'm asking you something!"

Ren He didn't even move his eyelids.

Ren Qiu quit, straightened up abruptly, propped his upper body on the low table on the couch, leaned in front of Ren He, let go of his voice and shouted: "Hello!"

Ren He opened his eyes suddenly and snorted coldly.

"Isn't he deaf?" Ren Qiu winked, his eyes sparkled, and he continued to ask with interest, "Hey, do you think he's some kind of killer? It seems that his martial arts are very good..."

"First, I don't call you hello or eh." Ren He stared at Ren Qiu and said coldly.

"Second, killers and martial arts are not necessarily related."

"Third, you are not only noisy, but also boring."

After finishing speaking, he crossed his arms, looked away, and closed his eyes to rest.

"..." Ren Qiu didn't seem to expect the other party's reaction like this, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it.

However, he turned a blind eye to Ren He's obvious hints and continued to persevere.He leaned forward a few more inches, lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious: "Hey, did the young master tell you something?"

Opening his eyes again, what Ren He saw was Ren Qiu's big eyes staring at him as brightly as a puppy.

He was helpless and had a headache: "The young master didn't say anything."

"Whether this person is a killer or otherwise, it has nothing to do with us. We rescued him, he recovered from his injuries and left, that's all."

"But……"

Ren Qiu looked at the other side again: "But, my intuition tells me that his identity is very important to us."

The moment after hearing this sentence, Ren He almost wanted to beat the case and cursed.What intuition? !Could it be because of this thing that he was tortured all night? !

However, the next moment, both of them froze.After a few moments, the two jumped up from the collapse almost at the same time, rushed out of the room in a few steps, and came to the outside room.

The cold wind poured in with the open door, and the candles in the house swayed feebly with the wind.Dozens of men in black were divided into two rows, standing on both sides of the gate together, blocking most of the lights, in the interspersed flickering, dozens of men did not make a sound, and the cold aura emanating from their bodies was like a ghost.

A young man in white walked in slowly from the door, his long hair was blowing in the wind, his handsome face was as cold as ice.He has a tall and straight figure, even if he is a little thin, it does not detract from his natural elegance.

"Who are you guys?!" Ren He's back was covered with cold sweat, but he still rushed to the young man and shouted in a cold voice, "Trespassing other people's residence, what do you want?!"
