Lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.The place of shame that had been rubbed too much was still burning hot, from now to now, every moment he had passed was reminisced by him over and over again.
He is not a person of this era. He is in the vortex of struggle at the top of the power. The only thing he can do is to leave, safely, and far away.Huang Fuluo was an accident, he was like an invisible lock, restraining his body, and now trying to restrain his soul.
"Maybe I'll die on the bed." He muttered to himself, "I'll be squeezed to death by him." However, will Huangfuluo's interest in him last until that day?If one day he gets tired, how will he deal with him?
Kill him secretly, or throw him as a public plaything to his servants and subordinates?A bone-chilling chill surged up, and Yan Linxi was frightened by this scene that she often sees in novels.
He shrank back shyly, thinking of hundreds and thousands of torture methods that he could think of, each of which he imagined being used on himself, and then he burst into tears uncontrollably.
At night, he sneakily opened the cage in front of the dressing table, carried a box of clothes to his bed, and by dim candlelight, carefully cut off the silk threads on the clothes with a hairpin, and took a piece of pearls and gems from the clothes. Block disassembled.After tearing it apart, tears fell again, he wiped his face hard, damn it, I am a man who stands up to the sky, how can I keep crying like a woman?It's just that the person is bent, not a mother!
After finally removing a pile of jewels, he tore off a sleeve, wrapped the pearls and gems, folded them carefully, and tried to wrap them around his waist.Wearing a loose robe outside, it must be hard to find.Yan Linxi let out a breath, and let go of her heart a little.
He rolled up a pile of scattered clothes and stuffed them back into the box, straightened the top one, and after a rough check that there should be no flaws, he closed the box lid.He rummaged around in front of the dressing table for a while, and found a jewelry box, which contained pearls, emeralds, emeralds, and gold, flowing precious light, and each piece looked quite valuable.
Yan Linxi wanted to reach out, but hesitated.These should be the relics of Huangfuluo's mother. Maybe he would take them out when he misses his mother. If he took them away with him, wouldn't it be too inhuman?
Yan Linxi looked at a box of treasures for a long time, and thought that although these things are valuable, they are not as good as those scattered beads and gems.
He picked it up, and picked out a small jade tablet, which was engraved with "Fushou Hengchang" on one side and "Luo" on the other side, it should be something that Huangfu Luo wore when he was a child.The jade is crystal clear and pure white, only there are two golden lines in the middle, when you look closely, you will feel that the golden lines are moving slightly like living things.I don't know how long Huangfu Luo has been wearing this jade tablet, it feels oily and smooth to the touch, and it feels warm to the bone.Yan Linxi held it in her palm, but couldn't let it go.
He only took this one, and promised not to sell it, it was only used as compensation for being suppressed by him in the past few days... Huangfuluo, he shouldn't be so stingy.Yan Linxi swallowed, and tied the gold chain with the jade plaque around her neck.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and he was tired after working all night, so he wrapped himself in a thick belt and wore the jade badge that came along, and climbed back to bed to sleep.
Anyway, Huangfuluo was not in the mansion, so Xiaofuzi and Xiaominzi didn't bother him when they saw that he was sleeping soundly, and they didn't wake up until noon.Yan Linxi rubbed his stomach and cried out that he was hungry, and within a short while he ate all the food on the table. The two servants were so frightened that they hurriedly ordered someone to bring Xiaoshi soup, and urged him to move around in the yard, so as not to injure him due to accumulation of food. spleen and stomach.
When it was time to light the lanterns, Huangfu Luo really brought chariots and horses to pick him up. At this time, the capital was already hung with red lanterns, and the people all over the city put on new clothes and rushed to the streets.In the car, Yan Linxi repeatedly confirmed the safety of the things she carried. Hearing the noise in her ears and the shouts of the escorting knights, her heartbeat increased and her palms were sweating.
In his opinion, the plan made by Ji Mo was meticulous and thoughtful, and it should be foolproof, but where did this deep uneasiness come from?The carriages and horses stopped, and Huangfu Luo stretched out his hand from outside the carriage: "Welcome to the Supreme Emperor!"
"Welcome to the Supreme Emperor!" The guards and attendants around him shouted long live, and the armor sounded, and they fell to their knees.When the people who were blocked around heard this thunderous cry, they all knelt down, and boldly raised their heads quietly, only to see a slender but not weak figure from a distance.
Huangfuluo held Yan Linxi's hand and led him step by step up to the tall Zhuquemen tower.The new emperor Yan Zichang had already been waiting for a long time with the empress and concubine. Seeing Yan Linxi, Yan Zichang smiled slightly and bowed to salute: "I have seen my father, I wish my father a long life and a healthy life."
Yan Linxi's expression was stiff, he couldn't bear the gift of this cheap son, he was still asleep in his mother's womb when he was running all over the ground.Seeing the senior officials of the third rank and above standing behind the emperor kneeling to salute him, he did not know where the spirit came from. He smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth open, waved his sleeves and said, "Your honor is flat."
The voice was clear and pleasant, not at all cold and vicious as before.This was the first time they heard him speak since Yan Linxi fell into a coma due to serious illness. Even at the abdication ceremony last time, he never spoke from the beginning to the end.The voice is still the same, but the feeling is completely different.
They stood up, raised their heads, and finally saw the young emperor who made them tremble, fear and even hate up close.
He was wearing a heavy and complicated dress, his long hair was tied in a purple gold crown, his eyes were bright and his teeth were bright, and his lips were red.He nodded slightly to them under the light of the lights, with a friendly and gentle smile on his face, and the red light dyed a blush on his white, almost transparent skin.
I have never seen him with such a tolerant expression, let alone such a gentle smile.Yan Linxi's beauty attracted almost everyone's attention at this moment.It is a kind of temperament that radiates from the inside out, and no one can surpass it.
Yan Zichang looked at him, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, he looked at Huang Fuluo who was standing beside Yan Linxi, that man who was dressed in a black and gold royal robe, who was always indifferent, was staring at the smiling Yan. Lin Xi's eyes were mixed with emotions that he had never seen before.
Yan Zichang's heart moved, and at that moment, he seemed to understand something.
Yan Linxi waved to the ministers, and was about to say a few words, when Huangfu Luo dragged her back.He whispered, "Don't talk too much!"
Yan Linxi curled her lips, turned her head with displeasure, and said in a low voice, "I'm just saying hello to them!"
Huang Fuluo snorted: "Pay attention to your current identity."
"I know, I'm not the emperor anymore!" Yan Linxi also snorted, disapproving.
"I mean, the Supreme Emperor is also a high-ranking person," Huang Fuluo looked at him, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Don't think that you can change from a grass chicken to a phoenix with beautiful feathers on your body. Little guy, don't let them see that you have a weakness, if If someone finds out that you are not him, even I cannot save you!"
Yan Linxi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he looked at Huangfuluo in horror—you know?How could he know?
When he was so frightened that his face was pale and his hands and feet were cold, he saw a smirk gradually appear on Huangfuluo's face, and he even winked at him.
"Just kidding you." He said lightly, but still held his hand.His fiery temperature came from the cold fingertips, and Yan Linxi was stunned for a while before recovering: "You, are you lying to me?"
Huangfu Luo pulled him and stood on the high city tower, receiving the worship and cheers from all the people in the city together with Yan Zichang.Amidst the heaven-shattering cry, he held Yan Linxi's hand tightly, as if answering, but also as if talking to himself: "I know you are not him, but I don't know where you came from and why. Although you Occupy his body, but you are you, you will not be him."
Obviously the noisy human voice was deafening, but Yan Linxi could hear Huangfu Luo's voice, and every word he uttered turned into a sharp arrow, and every word was accurately pierced into his heart.
"It doesn't matter who you are, and it doesn't matter where you come from." Huangfu Luo grabbed Yan Linxi's hand that was about to be withdrawn, and said word by word, "I will protect you, love you, and never let you leave my house. around."
"Hoo..." There was a sharp sound, and a cluster of fireworks rushed into the night sky, bursting in the black sky, and the stars lit up the sky.
Yan Linxi raised her head, watching the sparks blooming in the sky, drawing a dazzling light in the night, and then disappearing like stardust.Although the brilliance of the clusters of silver flowers and fire trees is only momentary, they alternately glow red on the faces of everyone looking up at them.After a long time, he said, "It's so beautiful!"
Huangfuluo turned his head, and in the alternation of light and dark, he saw the water in those eyes that were as pure and clear as stars reflected the light of fire, which was brighter and more beautiful than fireworks.
He smiled and said in response, "Well, it's so beautiful!"
Yan Linxi kept looking at the sky, and he ignored the ants-like crowd below the city tower, and the jubilant laughter was also ignored by him.He held Huangfuluo's hand back silently, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "If, I mean, if one day, I leave, will you feel a little sad?"
Huang Fuluo replied, "No, you can't leave."
Yan Linxin hummed, and said after a while: "So I just imagined, suppose one day, I suddenly disappeared from your side?"
Huang Fuluo didn't speak.
Yan Linxi went on to say: "Let me tell you, I think you should be a little sad. No, I actually hope you will be sad. But how long will the sadness last? Three months, six months, one year or five years ?Five years is a bit long, as long as you can think of me for three years, I feel that I have made a lot of money. I know that I am pretty, and it should not be easy to find a boy who looks like me, but it is hard to say if it is a beautiful woman. Even if you don’t have a [-]% likeness, you can always find a nose, a mouth, and eyes... If you put it together, it’s almost the same.”
He had a sore nose and choked up, "You treat me like that, I should hate you, but why, I can't hate you? Huangfuluo, since I came here, I don't feel like myself anymore. That's right , I am a pure man, how can I cry like a woman at every turn? It's so fucking disgusting."
Huang Fuluo looked at him, his gaze became deep.
Yan Linxi didn't seem to realize it, she kept her head up, her thin white neck was particularly dazzling in the dark night, she kept her head up like this, as if it would break at any moment.Huangfu Luo's heart trembled, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and pressed his head down: "Don't look, there's nothing to see!"
Yan Linxi turned her gaze to him, the corners of her eyes were reddish.His lips moved, and he gave a wry smile and said, "You are right when you say I am not him. I am indeed not him, I am just a wandering spirit that has taken over his body. No one will believe me if I tell it. Huangfu Luo, you won't blame me, will you?"
Huang Fuluo shook his head: "What are you complaining about?"
Yan Linxi took a deep breath: "Didn't you always like him?"
Huang Fuluo frowned and said: "What nonsense, that guy has an awkward temperament, and has been annoying since he was a child."
This answer was a bit unexpected, Yan Linxi gasped and asked again: "Then how can you...that?"
"Annoying is annoying, the appearance is not bad." Huangfuluo held his chin, thinking seriously.
"Dirty!" Yan Linxi glared at him, then cursed after holding back, "Rogue!"
"The taste is very good," Huangfu Luo nodded and laughed, "I never thought that you would be so delicious that people would want to eat it again after eating it once."
"I'm tired of you!" Yan Linxi rolled her eyes.
"Okay," Huangfuluo leaned into his ear, blew ambiguously, and said in a low voice, "When we get back, on the bed, I'll be as bored as you want. I haven't eaten for a day and think about it. After I go back, I'm afraid It takes three days to make up for it. Do you like it?"
Another firework flew into the sky, and the crimson light shone down, dyeing Yan Linxi's ears red. Seeing his angry appearance, Huangfu Luo laughed out loud.
Before the laughter fell, suddenly a firework did not explode for some reason, and fell straight from the sky. It landed on the tall cornice of the tower, and then rolled down the sloping ridge of the cornice. The barrel as thick as a child's waist was smashed into pieces A few pieces of glazed tiles, sharp fragments and a nearly four-foot-long fireworks cannon smashed together on the canopy set up for the ceremony.Everyone heard rattling noises above their heads, and as soon as they raised their heads, the cannon exploded at this moment.
The material for the canopy is made of several layers of sackcloth soaked in castor oil. It is thick and strong, and it is not afraid of wind and rain, but as long as it touches sparks, it will catch the wind.In an instant, the wind took advantage of the power of the fire, and the fire took advantage of the power of the wind, and red flames soared into the sky.Fragments of tarpaulin flew around with sparks, bringing flames wherever they touched.But after a while, the raging fire lit up the entire city tower.
The people in the city were stunned. At this time, several fireworks barrels fell down and exploded in the crowd. Although there was no tarpaulin to burn, they still burned many people's clothes and shops facing the street.
All of a sudden, the crowd was in chaos, among the crowded crowd, crying, screaming, crying out for pain, it was supposed to be a joyous celebration, but at this moment, amidst the smoke, it was as daunting as a Shura field .
Huang Fuluo protected Yan Linxi and retreated straight, while Yan Zichang and the concubine on the other side were also protected by the guards to retreat.Seeing the chaos above and below the city, Huangfu Luo made a decisive decision and ordered the troops to lead the royal officials back down from the tower, and ordered the water dragon army to put out the fire.
There was a big fire on the tower of Zhuquemen, and the water dragon army from the central capital rushed over, but the city was crowded with fleeing people, and the water dragon army was blocked by the panicked crowd, how could they get close at once?Even if they could get close, borrowing the water from the imperial city's moat might not be able to save the fire.
Huangfuluo led the people out of the city tower and retreated towards the Chaotian Gate in the palace, seeing the flames at the Suzaku Gate dye half of the sky red with blood, but there was nothing he could do, he could only stomp his feet resentfully.At this time, there was a commotion all around, and from time to time, terrified people ran past them, shouting.Huang Fuluo grabbed a general of the guards and asked sharply, "How could they pass through the Zhuque Gate? This is the most important part of the imperial city, beat these rioters out!"
The general was still in shock, and replied in a trembling voice: "The last general heard it just now. I don't know who opened the Zhuque gate. Those people panicked and heard that there is a moat in the city, which can avoid fires. They all rushed over. They are all from the capital. There are many people and many women and children, and the soldiers can't use force, and the last generals can't stop them."
Huang Fuluo kicked him to the ground viciously, and cursed: "Then kill some of them as an example to others. If there are assassins from the rebellious party among these rebellious people, if you don't stop them, just let them approach the emperor. If anything happens, I will kill your nine clans!"
The general stumbled and ran away at the command, Huang Fuluo turned around, his face was livid, and he yelled: "Where's the Supreme Emperor? Where's the person?"
The attendant on the side hurriedly pointed to the right side: "The concubine Duan was rushed here by the crowd just now, and she dragged the Supreme Emperor to the Honghui Hall."
Concubine Duan?A cold light flashed in Huangfu Luo's eyes, he jumped on his horse and rushed towards the direction pointed by the attendant.
Not long after Huangfuluo left, Yan Linxi patted her chest and rolled out from the other side.
"Your Majesty, are you alright!" A slender hand supported him, and the handsome young woman in palace attire looked at him with concern.
"It's okay, by the way, you are..." Seeing the woman's plump figure and someone-like appearance, he suddenly came to his senses, "Are you that...that concubine Duan? Hai Wuya's sister?"
Concubine Duan smiled slightly, and blessed him: "Your Majesty still remembers the concubine, it is the concubine's blessing."
"It's not that I remember, you and your brother really look alike." In front of the beautiful woman, Yan Linxi shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything.
He looked at the guard who had just shown Huangfu Luo the way, and hesitated for a moment.Before he was pulled aside by this woman, and the guard pointed another way for Huangfu Luo, he thought they were sent by Ji Mo to help him, but when he understood the identity of this woman, he knew it was impossible that's it.Ji Mo, the leader of the secret guard, how could he command the concubine in the harem to do things for him?What's more, Hai Wuya belongs to Huangfuluo.
"Your Majesty, do you really not remember anything?" Concubine Duan looked at him with wonderful eyes, with tears in her eyes.
"Well, I may have hurt my brain. Anyway, I forgot a lot of things after waking up." The surrounding was extremely chaotic, but no one paid attention to it.
He is a majestic overlord, and he is very eye-catching in his attire. Why is there no one here to protect him at this time, and he is left to chat with the concubine and a guard?Yan Linxi broke out in cold sweat behind her back, feeling strange, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.
Concubine Duan wiped the corners of her eyes, laughed suddenly, and said softly: "It's good to forget, after forgetting, you can live at ease. Let others suffer from those troubles and pains."
As she spoke, she flipped her bare hands and held a thin short blade in her hand. The smile on her face was still gentle and dignified. Days, you should be tired, I will send you there, when you get there, remember to take good care of yourself, don't do anything willful."
"You, what are you going to do?" Yan Linxi never thought that Concubine Duan would dare to take out the murder weapon in front of so many people, her face turned pale with fright.He backed up again and again, but his clothes were long and his hands were heavy, and he fell to the ground after only a few steps.
"Don't run away," Concubine Duan knelt down and patted his face with the short blade, "It's a pity you have such a good skin." With a soft sigh, the short blade shone coldly and stabbed him mercilessly. down.
"Ah!" Yan Linxi yelled in surprise, she was done thinking about it, before she could run away, her life was about to be handed over here.Seeing the light of the saber approaching his eyes, he closed his eyes tightly in fright, and subconsciously called out: "Huangfuluo!" His scream was shrill and sharp, and it spread far away in the night sky.
Concubine Duan was unprepared for a moment, her ears were numb from his cry, her eyes were blurry, and the stabbing knife paused.It was just this one pause, an object cut through the air, came whistling, and hit the back of the knife.Concubine Duan only felt a strong force rushing towards her, her wrist went numb, and the knife had already been sent flying.
"Who?" She turned around and watched in surprise. In the darkness, there were only people who were driven away by the soldiers crying and running, and the guards in hard armor and holding weapons in their hands.Huangfuluo's people had already chased after their master, and the people around here are all her people.
"Huangfuluo!" Yan Linxi didn't wait for the expected sharp blade, opened his eyes, saw Concubine Duan's face turned blue, and the murder weapon in her hand fell into the distance, her first thought was that Huangfuluo came to save him.Yan Linxi, who had survived a desperate situation, got up in embarrassment, and ran desperately with the hem of her clothes on her hands.
"Stop!" Concubine Duan didn't have time to pick up the knife, she just raised her chin at the guard beside her, who pulled out the knife and immediately chased after her.Seeing this, the guards guarding around drew out their swords and surrounded Yan Linxi.
"Huangfuluo! Huangfuluo! I'm here!" Yan Lin regretted seeing the crowd crowding up, afraid that Huangfuluo would not find him, so he shouted at the top of his voice, but there was still no sign of Huangfuluo, only more and more people around him could be seen The soldiers with fierce eyes came up.
Yan Linxi's legs were weak, he looked at the people surrounding him in horror, those swords that were shining coldly under the firelight were pointing at him, he had no doubt at all, if Huangfu Luo didn't show up now, then he would be next moment Get poked like a hedgehog.
At this moment, a black figure rushed over suddenly, with a white light flashing in his hand, and the guards who surrounded him only had time to let out a muffled groan before they were knocked to the ground by him.
"Follow me." The man was wearing the same guard uniform as them, but covered his face with a piece of cloth, making it impossible to recognize his appearance.He flipped the long sword in his hand, several iron thorns were already clasped in his palm, he threw his hand, there was a sound of breaking wind, and several people fell down screaming with their heads covered in pain.The rest of the people were frightened by his methods, and only surrounded them with weapons in their hands, but no one dared to step forward.
"It's you?" Yan Linxi was pulled up from the ground by him, he recognized the man's voice, Ji Mo.
"Let's go." Jimo whistled with his fingers, and a black horse ran over with its mane twitching.Outside the crowd, it raised its front hooves and hissed, kicked one person over with one hoof, and then kicked another person flying with its back hoof. The two coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, probably their ribs were broken by this crazy horse , can no longer get up.
Since Mo supported Yan Linxi onto the black horse, his feet pinched the horse's belly, and the horse also ran to one side like the wind.
"Damn it!" Concubine Duan who arrived was full of anger, and she bit her lower lip fiercely as she watched the black horse fleeing in the dust, "No matter who it is, we must get rid of him tonight. If you let him escape, you all See you in advance!"
"Where are you going?" Yan Linxi immediately hugged Jimo's waist, "You told me to wait for you at Chaotianmen, why did you come here?"
Ji Mo urged the horse and replied: "I haven't waited for a long time, I'm afraid there will be changes, so I came here to protect you secretly."
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been killed by that woman." Thinking about the scene just now, Yan Linxi said with lingering fear, "That woman must be crazy, I am her husband and her daughter's father, she killed me what is the benefit?"
Ji Mo didn't answer.Chaotianmen was not far away, the black horse traveled extremely fast, and arrived in front of the palace gate in a short while.A lot of people were crowded in front of the gate, some of them broke in randomly, some of them escaped from the guards who were driving them away, the gate of the palace was closed tightly, and there was a commotion in front of the gate.
"What should we do next?" Yan Linxi dismounted and followed Jimo, looking back from time to time, for fear that the pursuers would arrive.
"Don't worry, it's been arranged." Jimo pulled him to the east side of the Chaotian Gate, where there was another small door for servants to enter and exit.He raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, the small door opened immediately and let the two of them in.Yan Linxi looked around after entering the door, but there was no one there.Ji Mo closed the door behind his back and led him into Chaotian Gate.
"Where is this place?" Yan Linxi looked at a small lonely courtyard in front of him and asked Ji Mo. The place is secluded and overgrown with weeds. Obviously no one has lived in it for a long time.
"A concubine of the late emperor made a mistake and was imprisoned here to die."
"Waiting to die?" Yan Linxi stopped in her tracks.
"He's dead, hurry up!" Ji Mo dragged him into the main hall. The hall was dark and cold, with a moldy smell, apparently no one had ever come in to clean it.
Ji Mo struck a flint and lit a small lamp beside the door. With the help of the weak light, he pushed away a dilapidated futon in the center of the main hall, and then lifted three bluestones, revealing a deep hole. "Wait here, someone will bring King Huai and the Emperor over, and then the gunpowder buried here will be ignited...Boom!"
"They will be killed?" Yan Linxi trembled, only feeling cold hands and feet, "No, you can't do this!"
"I won't die!" Jimo glanced at him, "I just set this house on fire. There is a tunnel dug here beforehand. After the fire starts, you show your face at the window so that they can see you in the fire. When the fire is big, you follow me down the tunnel. When the fire is over, they will think that you are dead when they see the body. Once it is over, there will be no future troubles.”
"Are they really coming?" Yan Linxi didn't realize anything strange until now, the whole room smelled of kerosene, it seemed that someone from Jimo had poured oil on it long ago.When the fire is together, the gods are hard to extinguish.
"Don't worry..." Ji Mo listened intently, with a smile on his lips, "They came earlier than I expected."
"Yan Linxi! Where are you?" An anxious cry faintly came from the night wind, it was Huang Fu Luo's voice.Yan Linxi heard the sound and was about to go out, but was grabbed by Ji Mo.
"He's calling me!" When Yan Linxi turned her head, she saw Ji Mo's bright black eyes and the determination in her eyes.
"It's come this far, do you want to give up?" Ji Mo slowly let go of his hand, "I remind you one last time, you won't have another chance when you leave this door. And after tonight, No matter your choice is life or death, you will no longer be my majesty!"
Yan Linxi didn't look back, he stood there with his fists clenched.Free, free!These two words beckoned to him from the bottom of his heart.As long as he took the last step, he would be able to breathe free air, be able to leave this dangerous and complicated vortex, and be able to spend his life happily.
The shouts approached, and the sound of running footsteps and horseshoes came, which was the sound of nearly a thousand guards and cavalry rushing here.Ji Mo smiled slightly, and the oil lamp in his hand drew a graceful arc in the darkness.
"Peng"!Red tongues of flame sprang up from a corner of the hall, and spread to the entire building in an instant.
"Don't worry, people outside will feel that the fire is burning fiercely when the fire oil is splashed around, but it will take a while before it really burns inside. We have plenty of time." Ji Mo comforted him, and sat by the entrance of the cave by himself, "Now go Stand by the window, they're coming in soon."
Yan Linxi moved to the window, and the flames flew wildly, reflecting the abandoned cold palace blood red and bright.
Huang Fuluo rode a horse and rushed in first.Tongues of flames rushed towards him with a wave of heat, and the horse under him screamed because of the instinct of fearing the flames, and refused to move forward any more.
"Yan Linxi! Where are you? Come out quickly!" Huangfu Luo's hair was disheveled, and his face was frightened and anxious.He jumped off his horse and rushed to the fire scene alone, but was hugged by the attendants who came after him.
"Your Highness, the fire is too strong, you cannot go in!"
"Go away!" Huangfu Luo was furious, and he punched him.
"Prince Huai, don't do it!" Yan Zichang led people to stop Huang Fuluo, he looked at the ruined palace in flames, with a complicated expression, "The Supreme Emperor may not be here, don't be impulsive."
"He's here, he must be here!" Huangfuluo's eyes turned red, he kicked away the guards who blocked him, and looked there.Because of his negligence, he lost Yan Linxi.
After rushing to the Honghui Palace, he realized that he had been fooled. When he turned back, he couldn't find the guard who dared to lie to him, leaving only messy bloodstains all over the floor and a bent fist. The deformed short blade, why didn't this make Huangfuluo almost crazy?
He caught a few people running around on the road, and learned from several people that the man who looked like Yan Linxi was kidnapped and headed towards Chaotianmen, so he immediately called his attendants to chase after him.Just after chasing here, the abandoned cold palace suddenly burst into flames... Huang Fuluo felt a chill in his heart, and the blood in his whole body instantly condensed into ice.
"Yan Linxi!" Like a trapped animal, he let out a desperate roar, and in his roar, a burning log fell from the burning main hall.
In the flames, Yan Linxi's robes were fluttered by the heat waves, his figure was flexible and upright, his pale cheeks reflected the flames, showing a gorgeous color.He seemed to have heard Huangfuluo's voice, and he fixedly looked at him through the open window through the flames.
"Goodbye!" Huangfu Luo vaguely saw Yan Linxi open those once ruddy and delicate lips, said these words silently, then raised his hand with a smile, and waved to him.
His long black hair was blown by the heat waves, and on his gorgeous face was a smile that made him intoxicated.Huangfuluo stared at him blankly, watching him turn around slowly, another burning log fell behind him, his slender body disappeared in the flames all over the sky in an instant.
"No!" Huangfu Luo raised his head to the sky and screamed, suddenly jumped up, and rushed into the flames like an arrow.
Yan Zichang, who didn't have time to hold him back, changed his face, and just took a step forward when he was grabbed by the attendants around him.
"Stop him!" He looked desperately at Huangfu Luo's body submerged in the fire, but he knew that with such a big fire, once he got in, it would be impossible to get out again.
"Huangfu, you are so stupid!" Seeing the best friend and ideal of this life disappear before his eyes, Yan Zichang swayed and closed his eyes in pain.
Yan Linxi was drenched in sweat from the heat waves, and the pungent smell of smoke made him cough non-stop. He rubbed his stinging eyes and moved towards where Jimo was while weeping.Huangfuluo, let's say goodbye in this life, I hope you can remember me... No, it's better to forget it earlier.He cried and knelt down on the ground, he shouldn't be reluctant, he couldn't be reluctant, they were already incompatible, and it was impossible for them to stay together.
"What should I do, I seem to really like you." Yan Linxi gritted her teeth, and crawled forward with all her strength, "I can't die, I still have a lot of beautiful life waiting for me to live. I I also want to marry the most beautiful woman in the world as my wife, and let her bear me a lot of lovely children." Saying this, tears rolled out again.
"Huangfuluo, you bastard!" He beat the ground hard, struggling to stand up again.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Jimo's voice was very close, and he only needed to walk a few more steps to leave the Hell of Fire. "Hurry up, it's burning in, the beams are about to collapse!" Jimo's nervous and anxious voice came clearly, and Yan Linxi wiped his eyes and said, "I'm here! Let's..."
"Don't go!" In the sea of fire, an arm suddenly stretched out and held his hand tightly.When Yan Linxi was stunned, his body tightened and he fell into a familiar embrace.
"Huang Fuluo?" That handsome and incomparably handsome face was covered with soot and plaster, his black hair was scorched and curly, his lips were chapped and his clothes were scorched. His eyes flashed with light like stars, hotter than flames, more dazzling than stars.
"Don't go!" Huangfu Luo hugged Yan Linxi tightly, his voice was hoarse, and the heat on his body was amazing, "You're still alive, you're still alive..."
"Are you crazy?" Yan Linxi woke up from the initial shock, grabbed Huangfuluo and cursed, "You know that you will die? You will be burned to death! You just rushed in like this...why didn't you Burnt to death..." As he spoke, his throat was choked and he couldn't speak, he just grabbed Huangfuluo's shoulders firmly and stared at his face smothered by soot.
"How dare God accept me!" Huangfu Luo snorted coldly, his face was obviously in a state of distress and ruin, but that expression was extremely arrogant and arrogant.
Yan Linxi looked at his appearance, broke into laughter: "You are still so crazy."
"Let's go!" Huangfu Luo pulled Yan Linxi and was about to rush out, but the flames had completely engulfed the surrounding area, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and fire snakes danced wildly.
The roof creaked and creaked, and from time to time, pieces of burnt wood fell and hit the ground with loud noises.Yan Linxi grabbed him, shook her head and said, "I can't get out."
Huangfuluo took a deep breath, the heat wave had distorted the surrounding scenery, Yan Linxi's lips were already chapped in her arms, and the ends of her hair were curled up.He looked at him, reached out and touched the other person's eyebrows, eyes, and finally pressed his lips.
"Forget it, if you can't get out, you can't get out. Anyway, you are here with me, so it's not too bad."
The crackling sound above the head became clearer and louder, and I heard a roar from behind: "Are you still going? If you don't go, this place is really going to collapse!"
Huang Fuluo was startled, but before he could react, someone grabbed an arm and dragged him aside.
"Who are you?" When he was thrown into the dark hole, he only vaguely saw a strange, handsome and murderous face, and then, Yan Linxi fell on top of him.
"Hurry up!" The man jumped down, and he didn't forget to return his hand to reset the bluestone that sealed the hole, and then dragged the two of them stumbling forward.
"He's Jimo, you should have heard of this name!" Yan Linxi was in a great mood, touching the cloth bag wrapped around her waist, laughing while running.
"So it's him!" Huangfu Luo frowned.
"What is King Huai thinking, are you going to arrest the two of us when we get out?" Ji Mo didn't have the slightest kindness towards Huang Fu Luo, and he even lost patience with Yan Lin Xi, "If you come down earlier, you'll be fine. He must find it! I only prepared one corpse, and now that two people are missing, they will definitely be suspicious! If I knew it, I should have thrown you down earlier.”
Hearing the always reticent Jimo's angrily complaining, Yan Linxi
He is not a person of this era. He is in the vortex of struggle at the top of the power. The only thing he can do is to leave, safely, and far away.Huang Fuluo was an accident, he was like an invisible lock, restraining his body, and now trying to restrain his soul.
"Maybe I'll die on the bed." He muttered to himself, "I'll be squeezed to death by him." However, will Huangfuluo's interest in him last until that day?If one day he gets tired, how will he deal with him?
Kill him secretly, or throw him as a public plaything to his servants and subordinates?A bone-chilling chill surged up, and Yan Linxi was frightened by this scene that she often sees in novels.
He shrank back shyly, thinking of hundreds and thousands of torture methods that he could think of, each of which he imagined being used on himself, and then he burst into tears uncontrollably.
At night, he sneakily opened the cage in front of the dressing table, carried a box of clothes to his bed, and by dim candlelight, carefully cut off the silk threads on the clothes with a hairpin, and took a piece of pearls and gems from the clothes. Block disassembled.After tearing it apart, tears fell again, he wiped his face hard, damn it, I am a man who stands up to the sky, how can I keep crying like a woman?It's just that the person is bent, not a mother!
After finally removing a pile of jewels, he tore off a sleeve, wrapped the pearls and gems, folded them carefully, and tried to wrap them around his waist.Wearing a loose robe outside, it must be hard to find.Yan Linxi let out a breath, and let go of her heart a little.
He rolled up a pile of scattered clothes and stuffed them back into the box, straightened the top one, and after a rough check that there should be no flaws, he closed the box lid.He rummaged around in front of the dressing table for a while, and found a jewelry box, which contained pearls, emeralds, emeralds, and gold, flowing precious light, and each piece looked quite valuable.
Yan Linxi wanted to reach out, but hesitated.These should be the relics of Huangfuluo's mother. Maybe he would take them out when he misses his mother. If he took them away with him, wouldn't it be too inhuman?
Yan Linxi looked at a box of treasures for a long time, and thought that although these things are valuable, they are not as good as those scattered beads and gems.
He picked it up, and picked out a small jade tablet, which was engraved with "Fushou Hengchang" on one side and "Luo" on the other side, it should be something that Huangfu Luo wore when he was a child.The jade is crystal clear and pure white, only there are two golden lines in the middle, when you look closely, you will feel that the golden lines are moving slightly like living things.I don't know how long Huangfu Luo has been wearing this jade tablet, it feels oily and smooth to the touch, and it feels warm to the bone.Yan Linxi held it in her palm, but couldn't let it go.
He only took this one, and promised not to sell it, it was only used as compensation for being suppressed by him in the past few days... Huangfuluo, he shouldn't be so stingy.Yan Linxi swallowed, and tied the gold chain with the jade plaque around her neck.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and he was tired after working all night, so he wrapped himself in a thick belt and wore the jade badge that came along, and climbed back to bed to sleep.
Anyway, Huangfuluo was not in the mansion, so Xiaofuzi and Xiaominzi didn't bother him when they saw that he was sleeping soundly, and they didn't wake up until noon.Yan Linxi rubbed his stomach and cried out that he was hungry, and within a short while he ate all the food on the table. The two servants were so frightened that they hurriedly ordered someone to bring Xiaoshi soup, and urged him to move around in the yard, so as not to injure him due to accumulation of food. spleen and stomach.
When it was time to light the lanterns, Huangfu Luo really brought chariots and horses to pick him up. At this time, the capital was already hung with red lanterns, and the people all over the city put on new clothes and rushed to the streets.In the car, Yan Linxi repeatedly confirmed the safety of the things she carried. Hearing the noise in her ears and the shouts of the escorting knights, her heartbeat increased and her palms were sweating.
In his opinion, the plan made by Ji Mo was meticulous and thoughtful, and it should be foolproof, but where did this deep uneasiness come from?The carriages and horses stopped, and Huangfu Luo stretched out his hand from outside the carriage: "Welcome to the Supreme Emperor!"
"Welcome to the Supreme Emperor!" The guards and attendants around him shouted long live, and the armor sounded, and they fell to their knees.When the people who were blocked around heard this thunderous cry, they all knelt down, and boldly raised their heads quietly, only to see a slender but not weak figure from a distance.
Huangfuluo held Yan Linxi's hand and led him step by step up to the tall Zhuquemen tower.The new emperor Yan Zichang had already been waiting for a long time with the empress and concubine. Seeing Yan Linxi, Yan Zichang smiled slightly and bowed to salute: "I have seen my father, I wish my father a long life and a healthy life."
Yan Linxi's expression was stiff, he couldn't bear the gift of this cheap son, he was still asleep in his mother's womb when he was running all over the ground.Seeing the senior officials of the third rank and above standing behind the emperor kneeling to salute him, he did not know where the spirit came from. He smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth open, waved his sleeves and said, "Your honor is flat."
The voice was clear and pleasant, not at all cold and vicious as before.This was the first time they heard him speak since Yan Linxi fell into a coma due to serious illness. Even at the abdication ceremony last time, he never spoke from the beginning to the end.The voice is still the same, but the feeling is completely different.
They stood up, raised their heads, and finally saw the young emperor who made them tremble, fear and even hate up close.
He was wearing a heavy and complicated dress, his long hair was tied in a purple gold crown, his eyes were bright and his teeth were bright, and his lips were red.He nodded slightly to them under the light of the lights, with a friendly and gentle smile on his face, and the red light dyed a blush on his white, almost transparent skin.
I have never seen him with such a tolerant expression, let alone such a gentle smile.Yan Linxi's beauty attracted almost everyone's attention at this moment.It is a kind of temperament that radiates from the inside out, and no one can surpass it.
Yan Zichang looked at him, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, he looked at Huang Fuluo who was standing beside Yan Linxi, that man who was dressed in a black and gold royal robe, who was always indifferent, was staring at the smiling Yan. Lin Xi's eyes were mixed with emotions that he had never seen before.
Yan Zichang's heart moved, and at that moment, he seemed to understand something.
Yan Linxi waved to the ministers, and was about to say a few words, when Huangfu Luo dragged her back.He whispered, "Don't talk too much!"
Yan Linxi curled her lips, turned her head with displeasure, and said in a low voice, "I'm just saying hello to them!"
Huang Fuluo snorted: "Pay attention to your current identity."
"I know, I'm not the emperor anymore!" Yan Linxi also snorted, disapproving.
"I mean, the Supreme Emperor is also a high-ranking person," Huang Fuluo looked at him, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Don't think that you can change from a grass chicken to a phoenix with beautiful feathers on your body. Little guy, don't let them see that you have a weakness, if If someone finds out that you are not him, even I cannot save you!"
Yan Linxi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he looked at Huangfuluo in horror—you know?How could he know?
When he was so frightened that his face was pale and his hands and feet were cold, he saw a smirk gradually appear on Huangfuluo's face, and he even winked at him.
"Just kidding you." He said lightly, but still held his hand.His fiery temperature came from the cold fingertips, and Yan Linxi was stunned for a while before recovering: "You, are you lying to me?"
Huangfu Luo pulled him and stood on the high city tower, receiving the worship and cheers from all the people in the city together with Yan Zichang.Amidst the heaven-shattering cry, he held Yan Linxi's hand tightly, as if answering, but also as if talking to himself: "I know you are not him, but I don't know where you came from and why. Although you Occupy his body, but you are you, you will not be him."
Obviously the noisy human voice was deafening, but Yan Linxi could hear Huangfu Luo's voice, and every word he uttered turned into a sharp arrow, and every word was accurately pierced into his heart.
"It doesn't matter who you are, and it doesn't matter where you come from." Huangfu Luo grabbed Yan Linxi's hand that was about to be withdrawn, and said word by word, "I will protect you, love you, and never let you leave my house. around."
"Hoo..." There was a sharp sound, and a cluster of fireworks rushed into the night sky, bursting in the black sky, and the stars lit up the sky.
Yan Linxi raised her head, watching the sparks blooming in the sky, drawing a dazzling light in the night, and then disappearing like stardust.Although the brilliance of the clusters of silver flowers and fire trees is only momentary, they alternately glow red on the faces of everyone looking up at them.After a long time, he said, "It's so beautiful!"
Huangfuluo turned his head, and in the alternation of light and dark, he saw the water in those eyes that were as pure and clear as stars reflected the light of fire, which was brighter and more beautiful than fireworks.
He smiled and said in response, "Well, it's so beautiful!"
Yan Linxi kept looking at the sky, and he ignored the ants-like crowd below the city tower, and the jubilant laughter was also ignored by him.He held Huangfuluo's hand back silently, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "If, I mean, if one day, I leave, will you feel a little sad?"
Huang Fuluo replied, "No, you can't leave."
Yan Linxin hummed, and said after a while: "So I just imagined, suppose one day, I suddenly disappeared from your side?"
Huang Fuluo didn't speak.
Yan Linxi went on to say: "Let me tell you, I think you should be a little sad. No, I actually hope you will be sad. But how long will the sadness last? Three months, six months, one year or five years ?Five years is a bit long, as long as you can think of me for three years, I feel that I have made a lot of money. I know that I am pretty, and it should not be easy to find a boy who looks like me, but it is hard to say if it is a beautiful woman. Even if you don’t have a [-]% likeness, you can always find a nose, a mouth, and eyes... If you put it together, it’s almost the same.”
He had a sore nose and choked up, "You treat me like that, I should hate you, but why, I can't hate you? Huangfuluo, since I came here, I don't feel like myself anymore. That's right , I am a pure man, how can I cry like a woman at every turn? It's so fucking disgusting."
Huang Fuluo looked at him, his gaze became deep.
Yan Linxi didn't seem to realize it, she kept her head up, her thin white neck was particularly dazzling in the dark night, she kept her head up like this, as if it would break at any moment.Huangfu Luo's heart trembled, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and pressed his head down: "Don't look, there's nothing to see!"
Yan Linxi turned her gaze to him, the corners of her eyes were reddish.His lips moved, and he gave a wry smile and said, "You are right when you say I am not him. I am indeed not him, I am just a wandering spirit that has taken over his body. No one will believe me if I tell it. Huangfu Luo, you won't blame me, will you?"
Huang Fuluo shook his head: "What are you complaining about?"
Yan Linxi took a deep breath: "Didn't you always like him?"
Huang Fuluo frowned and said: "What nonsense, that guy has an awkward temperament, and has been annoying since he was a child."
This answer was a bit unexpected, Yan Linxi gasped and asked again: "Then how can you...that?"
"Annoying is annoying, the appearance is not bad." Huangfuluo held his chin, thinking seriously.
"Dirty!" Yan Linxi glared at him, then cursed after holding back, "Rogue!"
"The taste is very good," Huangfu Luo nodded and laughed, "I never thought that you would be so delicious that people would want to eat it again after eating it once."
"I'm tired of you!" Yan Linxi rolled her eyes.
"Okay," Huangfuluo leaned into his ear, blew ambiguously, and said in a low voice, "When we get back, on the bed, I'll be as bored as you want. I haven't eaten for a day and think about it. After I go back, I'm afraid It takes three days to make up for it. Do you like it?"
Another firework flew into the sky, and the crimson light shone down, dyeing Yan Linxi's ears red. Seeing his angry appearance, Huangfu Luo laughed out loud.
Before the laughter fell, suddenly a firework did not explode for some reason, and fell straight from the sky. It landed on the tall cornice of the tower, and then rolled down the sloping ridge of the cornice. The barrel as thick as a child's waist was smashed into pieces A few pieces of glazed tiles, sharp fragments and a nearly four-foot-long fireworks cannon smashed together on the canopy set up for the ceremony.Everyone heard rattling noises above their heads, and as soon as they raised their heads, the cannon exploded at this moment.
The material for the canopy is made of several layers of sackcloth soaked in castor oil. It is thick and strong, and it is not afraid of wind and rain, but as long as it touches sparks, it will catch the wind.In an instant, the wind took advantage of the power of the fire, and the fire took advantage of the power of the wind, and red flames soared into the sky.Fragments of tarpaulin flew around with sparks, bringing flames wherever they touched.But after a while, the raging fire lit up the entire city tower.
The people in the city were stunned. At this time, several fireworks barrels fell down and exploded in the crowd. Although there was no tarpaulin to burn, they still burned many people's clothes and shops facing the street.
All of a sudden, the crowd was in chaos, among the crowded crowd, crying, screaming, crying out for pain, it was supposed to be a joyous celebration, but at this moment, amidst the smoke, it was as daunting as a Shura field .
Huang Fuluo protected Yan Linxi and retreated straight, while Yan Zichang and the concubine on the other side were also protected by the guards to retreat.Seeing the chaos above and below the city, Huangfu Luo made a decisive decision and ordered the troops to lead the royal officials back down from the tower, and ordered the water dragon army to put out the fire.
There was a big fire on the tower of Zhuquemen, and the water dragon army from the central capital rushed over, but the city was crowded with fleeing people, and the water dragon army was blocked by the panicked crowd, how could they get close at once?Even if they could get close, borrowing the water from the imperial city's moat might not be able to save the fire.
Huangfuluo led the people out of the city tower and retreated towards the Chaotian Gate in the palace, seeing the flames at the Suzaku Gate dye half of the sky red with blood, but there was nothing he could do, he could only stomp his feet resentfully.At this time, there was a commotion all around, and from time to time, terrified people ran past them, shouting.Huang Fuluo grabbed a general of the guards and asked sharply, "How could they pass through the Zhuque Gate? This is the most important part of the imperial city, beat these rioters out!"
The general was still in shock, and replied in a trembling voice: "The last general heard it just now. I don't know who opened the Zhuque gate. Those people panicked and heard that there is a moat in the city, which can avoid fires. They all rushed over. They are all from the capital. There are many people and many women and children, and the soldiers can't use force, and the last generals can't stop them."
Huang Fuluo kicked him to the ground viciously, and cursed: "Then kill some of them as an example to others. If there are assassins from the rebellious party among these rebellious people, if you don't stop them, just let them approach the emperor. If anything happens, I will kill your nine clans!"
The general stumbled and ran away at the command, Huang Fuluo turned around, his face was livid, and he yelled: "Where's the Supreme Emperor? Where's the person?"
The attendant on the side hurriedly pointed to the right side: "The concubine Duan was rushed here by the crowd just now, and she dragged the Supreme Emperor to the Honghui Hall."
Concubine Duan?A cold light flashed in Huangfu Luo's eyes, he jumped on his horse and rushed towards the direction pointed by the attendant.
Not long after Huangfuluo left, Yan Linxi patted her chest and rolled out from the other side.
"Your Majesty, are you alright!" A slender hand supported him, and the handsome young woman in palace attire looked at him with concern.
"It's okay, by the way, you are..." Seeing the woman's plump figure and someone-like appearance, he suddenly came to his senses, "Are you that...that concubine Duan? Hai Wuya's sister?"
Concubine Duan smiled slightly, and blessed him: "Your Majesty still remembers the concubine, it is the concubine's blessing."
"It's not that I remember, you and your brother really look alike." In front of the beautiful woman, Yan Linxi shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything.
He looked at the guard who had just shown Huangfu Luo the way, and hesitated for a moment.Before he was pulled aside by this woman, and the guard pointed another way for Huangfu Luo, he thought they were sent by Ji Mo to help him, but when he understood the identity of this woman, he knew it was impossible that's it.Ji Mo, the leader of the secret guard, how could he command the concubine in the harem to do things for him?What's more, Hai Wuya belongs to Huangfuluo.
"Your Majesty, do you really not remember anything?" Concubine Duan looked at him with wonderful eyes, with tears in her eyes.
"Well, I may have hurt my brain. Anyway, I forgot a lot of things after waking up." The surrounding was extremely chaotic, but no one paid attention to it.
He is a majestic overlord, and he is very eye-catching in his attire. Why is there no one here to protect him at this time, and he is left to chat with the concubine and a guard?Yan Linxi broke out in cold sweat behind her back, feeling strange, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.
Concubine Duan wiped the corners of her eyes, laughed suddenly, and said softly: "It's good to forget, after forgetting, you can live at ease. Let others suffer from those troubles and pains."
As she spoke, she flipped her bare hands and held a thin short blade in her hand. The smile on her face was still gentle and dignified. Days, you should be tired, I will send you there, when you get there, remember to take good care of yourself, don't do anything willful."
"You, what are you going to do?" Yan Linxi never thought that Concubine Duan would dare to take out the murder weapon in front of so many people, her face turned pale with fright.He backed up again and again, but his clothes were long and his hands were heavy, and he fell to the ground after only a few steps.
"Don't run away," Concubine Duan knelt down and patted his face with the short blade, "It's a pity you have such a good skin." With a soft sigh, the short blade shone coldly and stabbed him mercilessly. down.
"Ah!" Yan Linxi yelled in surprise, she was done thinking about it, before she could run away, her life was about to be handed over here.Seeing the light of the saber approaching his eyes, he closed his eyes tightly in fright, and subconsciously called out: "Huangfuluo!" His scream was shrill and sharp, and it spread far away in the night sky.
Concubine Duan was unprepared for a moment, her ears were numb from his cry, her eyes were blurry, and the stabbing knife paused.It was just this one pause, an object cut through the air, came whistling, and hit the back of the knife.Concubine Duan only felt a strong force rushing towards her, her wrist went numb, and the knife had already been sent flying.
"Who?" She turned around and watched in surprise. In the darkness, there were only people who were driven away by the soldiers crying and running, and the guards in hard armor and holding weapons in their hands.Huangfuluo's people had already chased after their master, and the people around here are all her people.
"Huangfuluo!" Yan Linxi didn't wait for the expected sharp blade, opened his eyes, saw Concubine Duan's face turned blue, and the murder weapon in her hand fell into the distance, her first thought was that Huangfuluo came to save him.Yan Linxi, who had survived a desperate situation, got up in embarrassment, and ran desperately with the hem of her clothes on her hands.
"Stop!" Concubine Duan didn't have time to pick up the knife, she just raised her chin at the guard beside her, who pulled out the knife and immediately chased after her.Seeing this, the guards guarding around drew out their swords and surrounded Yan Linxi.
"Huangfuluo! Huangfuluo! I'm here!" Yan Lin regretted seeing the crowd crowding up, afraid that Huangfuluo would not find him, so he shouted at the top of his voice, but there was still no sign of Huangfuluo, only more and more people around him could be seen The soldiers with fierce eyes came up.
Yan Linxi's legs were weak, he looked at the people surrounding him in horror, those swords that were shining coldly under the firelight were pointing at him, he had no doubt at all, if Huangfu Luo didn't show up now, then he would be next moment Get poked like a hedgehog.
At this moment, a black figure rushed over suddenly, with a white light flashing in his hand, and the guards who surrounded him only had time to let out a muffled groan before they were knocked to the ground by him.
"Follow me." The man was wearing the same guard uniform as them, but covered his face with a piece of cloth, making it impossible to recognize his appearance.He flipped the long sword in his hand, several iron thorns were already clasped in his palm, he threw his hand, there was a sound of breaking wind, and several people fell down screaming with their heads covered in pain.The rest of the people were frightened by his methods, and only surrounded them with weapons in their hands, but no one dared to step forward.
"It's you?" Yan Linxi was pulled up from the ground by him, he recognized the man's voice, Ji Mo.
"Let's go." Jimo whistled with his fingers, and a black horse ran over with its mane twitching.Outside the crowd, it raised its front hooves and hissed, kicked one person over with one hoof, and then kicked another person flying with its back hoof. The two coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, probably their ribs were broken by this crazy horse , can no longer get up.
Since Mo supported Yan Linxi onto the black horse, his feet pinched the horse's belly, and the horse also ran to one side like the wind.
"Damn it!" Concubine Duan who arrived was full of anger, and she bit her lower lip fiercely as she watched the black horse fleeing in the dust, "No matter who it is, we must get rid of him tonight. If you let him escape, you all See you in advance!"
"Where are you going?" Yan Linxi immediately hugged Jimo's waist, "You told me to wait for you at Chaotianmen, why did you come here?"
Ji Mo urged the horse and replied: "I haven't waited for a long time, I'm afraid there will be changes, so I came here to protect you secretly."
"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been killed by that woman." Thinking about the scene just now, Yan Linxi said with lingering fear, "That woman must be crazy, I am her husband and her daughter's father, she killed me what is the benefit?"
Ji Mo didn't answer.Chaotianmen was not far away, the black horse traveled extremely fast, and arrived in front of the palace gate in a short while.A lot of people were crowded in front of the gate, some of them broke in randomly, some of them escaped from the guards who were driving them away, the gate of the palace was closed tightly, and there was a commotion in front of the gate.
"What should we do next?" Yan Linxi dismounted and followed Jimo, looking back from time to time, for fear that the pursuers would arrive.
"Don't worry, it's been arranged." Jimo pulled him to the east side of the Chaotian Gate, where there was another small door for servants to enter and exit.He raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, the small door opened immediately and let the two of them in.Yan Linxi looked around after entering the door, but there was no one there.Ji Mo closed the door behind his back and led him into Chaotian Gate.
"Where is this place?" Yan Linxi looked at a small lonely courtyard in front of him and asked Ji Mo. The place is secluded and overgrown with weeds. Obviously no one has lived in it for a long time.
"A concubine of the late emperor made a mistake and was imprisoned here to die."
"Waiting to die?" Yan Linxi stopped in her tracks.
"He's dead, hurry up!" Ji Mo dragged him into the main hall. The hall was dark and cold, with a moldy smell, apparently no one had ever come in to clean it.
Ji Mo struck a flint and lit a small lamp beside the door. With the help of the weak light, he pushed away a dilapidated futon in the center of the main hall, and then lifted three bluestones, revealing a deep hole. "Wait here, someone will bring King Huai and the Emperor over, and then the gunpowder buried here will be ignited...Boom!"
"They will be killed?" Yan Linxi trembled, only feeling cold hands and feet, "No, you can't do this!"
"I won't die!" Jimo glanced at him, "I just set this house on fire. There is a tunnel dug here beforehand. After the fire starts, you show your face at the window so that they can see you in the fire. When the fire is big, you follow me down the tunnel. When the fire is over, they will think that you are dead when they see the body. Once it is over, there will be no future troubles.”
"Are they really coming?" Yan Linxi didn't realize anything strange until now, the whole room smelled of kerosene, it seemed that someone from Jimo had poured oil on it long ago.When the fire is together, the gods are hard to extinguish.
"Don't worry..." Ji Mo listened intently, with a smile on his lips, "They came earlier than I expected."
"Yan Linxi! Where are you?" An anxious cry faintly came from the night wind, it was Huang Fu Luo's voice.Yan Linxi heard the sound and was about to go out, but was grabbed by Ji Mo.
"He's calling me!" When Yan Linxi turned her head, she saw Ji Mo's bright black eyes and the determination in her eyes.
"It's come this far, do you want to give up?" Ji Mo slowly let go of his hand, "I remind you one last time, you won't have another chance when you leave this door. And after tonight, No matter your choice is life or death, you will no longer be my majesty!"
Yan Linxi didn't look back, he stood there with his fists clenched.Free, free!These two words beckoned to him from the bottom of his heart.As long as he took the last step, he would be able to breathe free air, be able to leave this dangerous and complicated vortex, and be able to spend his life happily.
The shouts approached, and the sound of running footsteps and horseshoes came, which was the sound of nearly a thousand guards and cavalry rushing here.Ji Mo smiled slightly, and the oil lamp in his hand drew a graceful arc in the darkness.
"Peng"!Red tongues of flame sprang up from a corner of the hall, and spread to the entire building in an instant.
"Don't worry, people outside will feel that the fire is burning fiercely when the fire oil is splashed around, but it will take a while before it really burns inside. We have plenty of time." Ji Mo comforted him, and sat by the entrance of the cave by himself, "Now go Stand by the window, they're coming in soon."
Yan Linxi moved to the window, and the flames flew wildly, reflecting the abandoned cold palace blood red and bright.
Huang Fuluo rode a horse and rushed in first.Tongues of flames rushed towards him with a wave of heat, and the horse under him screamed because of the instinct of fearing the flames, and refused to move forward any more.
"Yan Linxi! Where are you? Come out quickly!" Huangfu Luo's hair was disheveled, and his face was frightened and anxious.He jumped off his horse and rushed to the fire scene alone, but was hugged by the attendants who came after him.
"Your Highness, the fire is too strong, you cannot go in!"
"Go away!" Huangfu Luo was furious, and he punched him.
"Prince Huai, don't do it!" Yan Zichang led people to stop Huang Fuluo, he looked at the ruined palace in flames, with a complicated expression, "The Supreme Emperor may not be here, don't be impulsive."
"He's here, he must be here!" Huangfuluo's eyes turned red, he kicked away the guards who blocked him, and looked there.Because of his negligence, he lost Yan Linxi.
After rushing to the Honghui Palace, he realized that he had been fooled. When he turned back, he couldn't find the guard who dared to lie to him, leaving only messy bloodstains all over the floor and a bent fist. The deformed short blade, why didn't this make Huangfuluo almost crazy?
He caught a few people running around on the road, and learned from several people that the man who looked like Yan Linxi was kidnapped and headed towards Chaotianmen, so he immediately called his attendants to chase after him.Just after chasing here, the abandoned cold palace suddenly burst into flames... Huang Fuluo felt a chill in his heart, and the blood in his whole body instantly condensed into ice.
"Yan Linxi!" Like a trapped animal, he let out a desperate roar, and in his roar, a burning log fell from the burning main hall.
In the flames, Yan Linxi's robes were fluttered by the heat waves, his figure was flexible and upright, his pale cheeks reflected the flames, showing a gorgeous color.He seemed to have heard Huangfuluo's voice, and he fixedly looked at him through the open window through the flames.
"Goodbye!" Huangfu Luo vaguely saw Yan Linxi open those once ruddy and delicate lips, said these words silently, then raised his hand with a smile, and waved to him.
His long black hair was blown by the heat waves, and on his gorgeous face was a smile that made him intoxicated.Huangfuluo stared at him blankly, watching him turn around slowly, another burning log fell behind him, his slender body disappeared in the flames all over the sky in an instant.
"No!" Huangfu Luo raised his head to the sky and screamed, suddenly jumped up, and rushed into the flames like an arrow.
Yan Zichang, who didn't have time to hold him back, changed his face, and just took a step forward when he was grabbed by the attendants around him.
"Stop him!" He looked desperately at Huangfu Luo's body submerged in the fire, but he knew that with such a big fire, once he got in, it would be impossible to get out again.
"Huangfu, you are so stupid!" Seeing the best friend and ideal of this life disappear before his eyes, Yan Zichang swayed and closed his eyes in pain.
Yan Linxi was drenched in sweat from the heat waves, and the pungent smell of smoke made him cough non-stop. He rubbed his stinging eyes and moved towards where Jimo was while weeping.Huangfuluo, let's say goodbye in this life, I hope you can remember me... No, it's better to forget it earlier.He cried and knelt down on the ground, he shouldn't be reluctant, he couldn't be reluctant, they were already incompatible, and it was impossible for them to stay together.
"What should I do, I seem to really like you." Yan Linxi gritted her teeth, and crawled forward with all her strength, "I can't die, I still have a lot of beautiful life waiting for me to live. I I also want to marry the most beautiful woman in the world as my wife, and let her bear me a lot of lovely children." Saying this, tears rolled out again.
"Huangfuluo, you bastard!" He beat the ground hard, struggling to stand up again.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Jimo's voice was very close, and he only needed to walk a few more steps to leave the Hell of Fire. "Hurry up, it's burning in, the beams are about to collapse!" Jimo's nervous and anxious voice came clearly, and Yan Linxi wiped his eyes and said, "I'm here! Let's..."
"Don't go!" In the sea of fire, an arm suddenly stretched out and held his hand tightly.When Yan Linxi was stunned, his body tightened and he fell into a familiar embrace.
"Huang Fuluo?" That handsome and incomparably handsome face was covered with soot and plaster, his black hair was scorched and curly, his lips were chapped and his clothes were scorched. His eyes flashed with light like stars, hotter than flames, more dazzling than stars.
"Don't go!" Huangfu Luo hugged Yan Linxi tightly, his voice was hoarse, and the heat on his body was amazing, "You're still alive, you're still alive..."
"Are you crazy?" Yan Linxi woke up from the initial shock, grabbed Huangfuluo and cursed, "You know that you will die? You will be burned to death! You just rushed in like this...why didn't you Burnt to death..." As he spoke, his throat was choked and he couldn't speak, he just grabbed Huangfuluo's shoulders firmly and stared at his face smothered by soot.
"How dare God accept me!" Huangfu Luo snorted coldly, his face was obviously in a state of distress and ruin, but that expression was extremely arrogant and arrogant.
Yan Linxi looked at his appearance, broke into laughter: "You are still so crazy."
"Let's go!" Huangfu Luo pulled Yan Linxi and was about to rush out, but the flames had completely engulfed the surrounding area, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and fire snakes danced wildly.
The roof creaked and creaked, and from time to time, pieces of burnt wood fell and hit the ground with loud noises.Yan Linxi grabbed him, shook her head and said, "I can't get out."
Huangfuluo took a deep breath, the heat wave had distorted the surrounding scenery, Yan Linxi's lips were already chapped in her arms, and the ends of her hair were curled up.He looked at him, reached out and touched the other person's eyebrows, eyes, and finally pressed his lips.
"Forget it, if you can't get out, you can't get out. Anyway, you are here with me, so it's not too bad."
The crackling sound above the head became clearer and louder, and I heard a roar from behind: "Are you still going? If you don't go, this place is really going to collapse!"
Huang Fuluo was startled, but before he could react, someone grabbed an arm and dragged him aside.
"Who are you?" When he was thrown into the dark hole, he only vaguely saw a strange, handsome and murderous face, and then, Yan Linxi fell on top of him.
"Hurry up!" The man jumped down, and he didn't forget to return his hand to reset the bluestone that sealed the hole, and then dragged the two of them stumbling forward.
"He's Jimo, you should have heard of this name!" Yan Linxi was in a great mood, touching the cloth bag wrapped around her waist, laughing while running.
"So it's him!" Huangfu Luo frowned.
"What is King Huai thinking, are you going to arrest the two of us when we get out?" Ji Mo didn't have the slightest kindness towards Huang Fu Luo, and he even lost patience with Yan Lin Xi, "If you come down earlier, you'll be fine. He must find it! I only prepared one corpse, and now that two people are missing, they will definitely be suspicious! If I knew it, I should have thrown you down earlier.”
Hearing the always reticent Jimo's angrily complaining, Yan Linxi
