Hot as China, cold as snow

Thirteen drizzles, rainy nights, the closest distance between hearts

The exit of the secret road is a rockery in the palace, with willows on the moon, the night is a little late, the night is very quiet, without lights, it looks even more desolate in such a big place.However, Tie Mian was very familiar with this place. He was not in a hurry, but instead walked slowly. Every time he took a step, he would stop for a while every time he passed a place. The stars in his eyes were shining brightly, full of passionate hatred.I don't know if it was Tie Mian's tampering or Leng Ce noticed the abnormality and gave up resistance. The sentry posts that usually patrolled back and forth disappeared overnight.Looking around, the only bright spot is the candlelight in the Golden Luan Hall.

The iron face pushed open the closed temple door, and the heavy door made a 'creaking' sound, which was especially harsh in this calm and somewhat solemn night.The only middle-aged man sitting in front of the candlelight in the main hall looked so old and feeble. At this moment, Leng Ce was an old man who had long lost the majesty and demeanor of an emperor.There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Tie Mian stepped in step by step until he was close to Leng Ce. Mr. Liu did not follow, but leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the main hall.

And what I saw on the day of offering sacrifices to the heaven in Zeyun Mountain, Leng Ce seemed to have aged several decades suddenly, with gray temples and deep wrinkles. He said like a friend, "You're here." He remained silent but pulled a chair and sat opposite him.But Leng Ce said to himself: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. From the moment I saw you on Zeyun Mountain that day, I knew that I couldn't hide. If you don't die, I must die. Sure enough, I shouldn't be merciful." Spare your life. You came here for revenge. Yes, I killed your father, my elder brother, married your mother, killed her, and sent you to the enemy country as a hostage. I deserve to die , but there is no way anyone can make me fall in love with a woman I shouldn't love."

A slight commotion erupted from outside, presumably the palace gate had been opened, but Leng Ce's voice became smaller and smaller: "My good nephew, you have learned a lot about this conspiracy strategy, so bear with it and hide it." After so many years, I have quietly bought the cronies around me, and instigated so many ministers. Yes, I am not a good emperor, but can someone as scheming as you become a good emperor? I'm sorry for you, but it has nothing to do with Kang'er, my only son, he is of Leng's blood, you are the only blood relative in this world, let him go." Leng Ce coughed violently , The violent ups and downs of the chest.After his coughing stopped, he said sternly, "I never thought of becoming the emperor, I just wanted to take revenge. Don't worry, I will continue to let him be the emperor after you die."

Mr. Liu leaned on the pillar and looked outside, except for the noise still in his ears, the sound of weapons being exchanged, there was a fire dragon in front of him outside the window, he sighed faintly.Leng Ce opened his eyes and looked out the window with difficulty, and whispered: "I will bury your mother next to your father. I don't ask for anything after I die, and I will bury you in the ancestral grave anyway. You see, I once let you go." For the sake of your life, let’s meet this requirement.” The voice gradually lowered, becoming more and more inaudible: “That year when the flowers fell, I met such a beautiful person who accompanied the falling flowers and danced with the wind, and the fiery red flowers were like torches outside the window. The same beauty, but eventually shed and withered"

Only the hustle and bustle of the outside remained in the hall, and the hall illuminated by the fire outside brightened up. Tie Mian slowly stood up, walked in front of Leng Ce, closed his eyes that had never been closed, and scarlet liquid spread on the ground , There is also blood gushing from the mouth.This man did not rest in peace until he died. This man has lived his whole life to snatch a woman. For this woman, he did the most unreasonable thing in the world, but he personally killed this woman. In the end, he chose the same thing as this woman. The law of death is martyrdom.

Some love has never been resorted to, but it has such a tragic color.

The candlelight trembled slightly, Tie Mian closed Leng Ce's eyes, stopped to look at him with a complicated expression, then cast aside his emotions, turned around and strode towards the entrance of the main hall.Mr. Liu saw that he moved, turned around and pushed open the heavy golden palace door, out of the way, outside stood all the iron-masked people holding torches.

Tie Mian stood at the palace gate without saying a word, looked around, and stretched out his hand to take off the black mask on his face.

Sima Yuerong, a veteran official who had lived through two dynasties, burst into tears when he saw this scene. He wept bitterly and beat his chest and stamped his feet. Your grievances have been cleared." Yuba knelt on the ground and knocked his head loudly three times: "His Royal Highness, we veterans have waited for too long, and finally this day has come." Yuba cupped his hands and looked up at Leng Xuan Blade said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. I would like to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to choose a day to ascend the throne, and the hearts of the people of the world are at ease." As soon as these words came out, the people kneeling below said in unison: "Please Your Highness the Crown Prince to choose a day to ascend the throne."

Leng Xuanren stood in front of the main hall and looked down, with his back straight, his arms imposing, and the majesty of a king.But he sneered, looked at the people kneeling at his feet, and then at the cold golden hall behind him.The shouts from the crowd didn't reach my ears, but I heard Mr. Liu's sigh: "Golden cage, rich life, petrified heart. I really don't know why everyone yearns for this kind of place, even you can't escape it ?”

He glanced in surprise at Mr. Liu, who looked a little lonely and cold beside him, turned his head to face everyone and laughed loudly: "From today onwards, there will be no Prince Leng Xuanyan in the world, only Leng Xuanyan, the master of the killing tower. No Abolish the name of Prince Leng Kangtai, and choose a day to ascend the throne as emperor."

When Sima Yuerong heard this, he wiped away the tears from his face and shouted, "No!"

Leng Xuanren cut off Sima Yuerong's words and received: "From now on, I will be the assistant king, attacking the emperor above and the evil ministers below. No one should mention this matter again, otherwise they will be convicted of disturbing the court."

Sima Yuerong, a veteran of the two dynasties, was finally Leng Xuanren and his son for the rest of their lives. Hearing such an ending, he was not reconciled, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "My late emperor! I, Sima Yuerong, did not teach the prince well. I violated the late emperor's order. Now the prince is only If you are willing to supervise the country and refuse to take the position, I have no face to see you, so I might as well die." After saying that, he was about to bump into a stone lion, blood was about to splatter on the spot, Young Master Liu used his lightness skills to the extreme, and stopped him, Fu Er said to the old man who was over fifty years old beside him: "If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. If you die, who can help Leng Xuanren and persuade him?" I was in a hurry to die, but I didn't come up in one breath and cried and passed out.

After a fight, even if the killing is reduced, there will be bloodshed and sacrifices in the end, and everyone will be dismissed.Leng Xuanyan took a jar of wine and rode his horse to the imperial mausoleum. After dismounting from his horse, he paced alone in the forest where the imperial mausoleum was located, passing one mausoleum after another, and went forward to the two tombstones buried together. He straightened his back, Kneeling down, he knelt prostratingly three more times, poured wine on the ground and said, "My son has avenged me, father and queen, rest in peace! I'm late, so you have to wait." He held the wine jar and drank a glass.Tired of kneeling, he leaned against the edge of the tombstone, looked at the dark forest, listened to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the sky did not know when one after another was blowing thick and dense clouds.

As soon as he felt his face was cold, he stretched out his hand to touch it, wiped away the drop of water that fell from the sky, and spread his palm again. After a while, the raindrops the size of a bean fell one drop after another, and soon it rained heavily , but he did not hide or dodge.A figure flashed behind a tree not far away, and shouted from a long distance: "I knew you were here, it's raining, and you don't hide from the rain, you want to be drenched."

He still leaned on the stone tablet, but responded, "Then what are you doing?"

"I kindly informed you that it's raining, and I want you to go back and hide from the rain. After leaving such a mess, you can run here and hide for leisure." Mr. Liu said as he ran over to pull up Leng Xuanyan. It has been drenched with water.

Leng Xuanyan got up from the ground but smiled and said: "You have good intentions, obviously you followed all the way."

Mr. Liu ignored him, and just ran forward, towards the small pavilion not far away: "You deliberately arranged to move tonight, how did you know there would be heavy rain tonight?"

"Didn't your master Taoshan people from Lingzhou teach you to look at the astrology?" Leng Xuanyan followed leisurely, letting the rain hit his face.

Mr. Liu bent slightly, leaning on his knees with both hands, panting, the wet clothes sticking to his body was very uncomfortable, after resting enough, he saw that Leng Xuanren used his internal force to dry the clothes on his body, and then said in a low voice: " Master won't let me learn astrology, I don't even have the inner strength like you."

Leng Xuanren saw Mr. Liu's expression was lonely, he didn't have the intention of laughing, he just thought that the differences were caused by the different martial arts routines of each, so he said seriously: "But your soul-binding Hundred Refinement Rope has been practiced perfectly, there are few rivals in the world. Now that you've seen my face and who I am, it's time for you to tell me your real name, I want to know."

Mr. Liu looked at the sky outside, and the rain would not stop for a while: "Forget it, I forgot my name since it was too long. Maybe the young master is my name! This rain is really life-saving Just in time for the rain."

"Is that why you don't want to tell me?" Leng Xuanzhan passed Mr. Liu's body to face himself, his hands were icy cold, he frowned his beautiful brows, and ordered: "Take off your clothes."

"What?" Mr. Liu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?" Leng Xuanyan took off his shirt and said, "You don't feel uncomfortable when you are wet?" Mr. Liu did as he did, wearing a relatively loose Leng Xuanren's coat wrapped around his arms, which was very warm, so he smiled.

"You haven't told me your name yet?" Mr. Liu hesitated and said, "If you want, you can call me Ran."

Leng Xuanren's expression changed when he heard that, he grabbed Mr. Liu's skirt, and said in a low and dangerous voice, "Why do you dare to use this word as your name when you approach me on purpose? Why is it this word? Only this word can't do it! Listen to the whole world Of course, he is the only one."

Mr. Liu's eyes were wide open, then he lowered his eyelids and stared at the ground, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's just a code name, so why take it so seriously. Maybe the person you miss has already forgotten about you."

Hearing this, Leng Xuanyan looked a little lonely, let go of Young Master Liu, and looked into the depths of the rain curtain: "The favor I owe him will have to be paid back sooner or later, it has nothing to do with him."

"It doesn't matter." Mr. Liu repeated unconsciously, and he also looked at the pitch-black rain curtain. The sound of rain was clear in his ears. Suddenly, a flash of lightning reflected Mr. Liu's face, and a thunderstorm made him subconsciously scream With a sound, he moved his body to get closer to Leng Xuanyan.

This sound interrupted Leng Xuanyan's thoughts and aroused his curiosity. He slightly turned his head and saw Young Master Liu with a pale face, and smiled with the corner of his mouth: "You are actually afraid of thunderstorms."

Mr. Liu blinked his eyes in shock, and forced himself to tremble and said: "No." Before he finished speaking, as if confirming that this was a lie, he remembered a thunder and lightning, and he closed his eyes subconsciously, covering his mouth. ear.

A pair of warm and generous palms took his hand away, one arm wrapped around his head, blocking the sight and blocking the sound, the other hand stroked the tail of his light blue hair, his back was tight With a warm body against the wind and rain outside, the man's soft voice filled his ears: "This way, I won't be afraid." Mr. Liu moistened his dry eyes, and the tip of his nose was a little sore, but he didn't say a word. After saying that, he just stretched out his hands and grabbed his arm, very hard.

"Why is the tail of the hair blue?" Leng Xuanren asked in a low voice close to his ear.Mr. Liu supported Leng Xuanren with his body strength, and said in a sticky voice like glutinous rice: "I don't know. I have had it since I was a child."

The sound of the rain outside gradually died down, Leng Xuanyan let go of his hand, and Mr. Liu quickly ran a distance away, Leng Xuanyan looked at him as if he was watching a show, but he touched the end of his hair to hide his embarrassment and said: "The sky is about to dawn gone."
