On the twelfth day of the Great Summer, the weather is hot, and the cicadas on the banyan tree in the courtyard are screaming non-stop.Li Ziyi's coffin will be buried in the ground tomorrow, and I can't sleep at all tonight.Just after the first watch, Dai Yi'an came with a cup of white fungus and lotus seed soup, "The weather is hot, come and eat a bowl of lotus seed soup to relieve the heat."

The servant had many scruples, so I said: "Go and eat, it's hard for you to serve me in this hot weather." The servant thanked me and stepped forward to take the soup from Dai Yi'an's hand.Instead, An Sheng gave me a bowl: "Don't drink medicine tonight, how about a bowl of this heat-relieving lotus seed soup?"

Since leaving Wanzhou City, Dai Yi'an has always kept a straight face, and he doesn't know why he is so amiable tonight.I took the lotus seed soup and said thank you. When I was in Wanzhou City, Yi'an would often cook tremella lotus seed soup for me in midsummer.Dai Yi'an urged me: "I put it in cold water for a while, and now it's still a little cool, so it's good to eat."

After eating a spoonful, it is as cool as ice, as soft and glutinous as cake, and as sweet as sugar.Seeing that I ate, Dai Yian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He said: "In life, there are many things that we have to abandon, do and destroy. Mr. Ling has experienced more accidents than me. You know more than I do. This departure should be a farewell, please take care of Mr. Ling on behalf of Yian."

I suddenly lost the strength in my hand, and the white porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.My head was dizzy and my legs were weak, "Yi'an, what did you do?" Dai Yi'an quickly supported me and said, "Mr. Ling, I hope you can forgive Dai Yi'an for being rude. Seven kings died in battle , the imperial city has undergone tremendous changes, and the imperial court has fallen into turbulent waves." Dai Yi'an took out a medicine bottle and stuffed it into my arms, "This is a supplementary medicine, one spoonful a day, made into soup with warm water, it only takes half a month, your body Gu worms will come out. Stay alive, leave the old capital alive, and go wherever you want, this is what the Seventh Prince told you."

Suddenly hearing the sound of broken windows, Wen Lan strode towards me, he hugged me and left. "I won't go, Wen Lan, let me down!" I forced my eyes to grab Wen Lan.Wen Lan didn't stop walking, he said: "Mr. Ling, this is the order of the prince. If you still think that you are the servant of the prince, you should stop talking such useless nonsense. The person the prince loved the most before his death was you. Whether in the past or now, the person he loves the most has always been you."

There were tears in Wen Lan's eyes: "Three years ago, you took the Changqin and disappeared without a sound. The prince went crazy looking for you, looking for you every day, every night, and neither eating nor drinking. At that time, his The body was already poor, and he almost lost his life in a hurry. He started to look for you again after half a month of healing, so he searched all over the city, and also searched all the towns around the old capital. He even picked up the graves One more time. You disappeared for three years, he was down and out for three years, and the military power in his hand was snatched by Li Cixiao. Finally found you in Wanzhou City. He wanted to retire, and he even arranged everything properly. But Li Cixiao came. Li Cixiao didn't want to let him go. He used the ministers of the court to suppress the prince again and again. The prince has endured too much, suffered too much pain that neither you nor I have seen. After his death, Li Cixiao's power is in the court and the public, all I can do is to go to the prince's last concern."

Wen Lan carried me out from the back door of the pharmacy, and turned into a carriage parked in a deep alley.There were four or five people dressed in black in the carriage, Wen Lan said: "Don't come back, the farther you go, the better." It was the first time I saw Wen Lan cry, the curtain of the carriage fell and blocked my view of Wen Lan.The guest in black supported me, the carriage was speeding, and the crisp sound of horseshoes was particularly harsh in this long and silent night.

I think I am rich and prominent, but I don't want to be as humble as mud; I think I'm smart all my life, but I don't want to be extremely stupid.I was wrong, I miscalculated the beginning, and I miscalculated the end.I was thinking about how to leave Li Ziyi, I was thinking about how to keep Dai Yian safe, I thought it was smart, so I dragged Li Cixiao to plot against Li Ziyi.Li Ziyi was protecting me wholeheartedly, but I didn't realize it. Dai Yi'an asked me to leave many times, and I didn't understand the meaning behind it.The heart-piercing pain radiated from the heart, I killed Yichun, I killed Li Xuan, all because of me.

The effect of the medicine dissipated, and when I woke up, it was already daylight. I lifted the curtain of the car and saw that I had left the old capital.I asked: "Where are you going now?" A guest in black said: "Master Wenlan told me to escort you to the south to hide for a while, and send you to the Guanzhong mansion after the old capital is settled down."

Calling Wenlan an adult, they should be Li Xuan's soldiers.I said: "Have you gone to the border with the prince this time?" The man in black replied: "Go."

"What is the cause of the prince's death? Is it because he died in battle, or is it because of other reasons?" The black-clothed guests were silent, and I asked again, and a black-clothed guest said: "The prince's riding and sword skills are amazing. He didn’t die on the battlefield. That night, Master Wenlan picked me and [-] other brothers to dress up as people from the Western Regions along with the prince, and we sneaked into the region. Only after we entered did we realize that the prince was looking for a kind of venomous mother It was really hard to find this thing, we searched for two days to find it. When we were preparing to leave the domain, we were discovered, and we got separated in the chaos. I survived by luck and returned to the barracks. When I got back, I heard that the prince Now that I'm gone, only Master Wen Lan should know the specific situation."

My heart has been cold for a long time.The carriage stopped, and suddenly the neighing of the horse was heard, before the neighing stopped, the carriage fell over on its side, the black-clothed passengers were all startled, they all drew their knives and smashed the carriage, one of them carried me to the ground safely.A group of knife-wielding men stood in front of them, all of them had fierce faces, and they looked well-trained, not like gangsters.The other party didn't make a sound, and slashed with his sword. The three men in black resisted with their swords horizontally, and the two men in black picked me up and ran away.

The opponent is coming fiercely, and there are so many people, the three of them are bound to be unable to resist.One person said: "You take the son and go, I will lure them away." If I don't allow me to refuse, the other man in black resists me and runs away.There was only one of the five people left in an instant, and my heart was no longer as flustered as before, but only felt heartache.Life is short, enjoy yourself in time, life is really short and bitter.

After running for a short time, a long arrow pierced the man in black's calf, and he fell to the ground protecting me with a muffled grunt.But in the blink of an eye, the previous wave of people surrounded us again.Not allowing me to regain my senses, a long sword pierced the man in black's throat, and warm blood splashed my face, and I was instantly blindsided.One person picked me up and left, and walked into the woods, there were dozens of horses, and everyone got on the horses and whipped away, heading straight to the direction of the old capital.I always thought that if I left Li Ziyi, I would be free, but it was not the case.Now I understand that the moment I left Li Ziyi was the beginning of my falling into the cage.

The horse's back was very bumpy, which made me feel uncomfortable. My throat suddenly tightened, and I choked out a mouthful of black blood.When I was dizzy, the horse stopped suddenly, and I seemed to see another wave of knife-wielding men standing in front of the horse.The two sides were fighting, and the sound of swords and swords collided one after another. I was so uncomfortable that I moved a little and fell off the horse's back.

I don't know whose family they are, they all want to arrest me, as soon as one of them mentions me, the other raises his sword to chop me.When they fought for it, I was stabbed several times, and the bright red blood soaked my plain clothes.I don't know how long they fought, but one after another they fell in front of me, the swords and swords all over the ground were covered with blood.In the blink of an eye, there were only five or six people left in the dozens of people who were alive, and one of them stepped forward and asked me to get on my horse and whip me away.

When we arrived in the old capital, it was just dawn.The man led me into Li Ziyi's palace through the back door, and came to the front hall. The man half-kneeled and said, "Princess, Ling Dan has brought you back." In the middle, the haggard look on his face became a bit heavier: "Master Ling, why didn't the prince enter the mausoleum yesterday to see you come to see him off for the last time?"

Xia Nianzhen laughed twice for no reason, "The prince loved you the most before he was alive, he would take you with him wherever he went, why didn't you come to see him off yesterday? Are you afraid? That's right, everyone is afraid of death, you Ling Dan No exception." I stood up reluctantly, wiped the blood on my lips with my sleeves, "Three years ago, the princess sent me to hell, and I have no fear of death." Xia Nianzhen got up and walked slowly, with a gait Although a little unstable, it still does not lose everyone's style.I continued: "If I remember correctly, the princess once said that she loves the prince, why doesn't the princess go with the prince now? If you want to say fear, between you and me, the princess is more afraid of death."

"You are still alive, how can I die before you?!" Xia Nianzhen was furious, not knowing where Wen Lan got out, he hurried forward to protect me.Xia Nianzhen laughed, tears streaming down his face, "It's all right for Ziyi to protect you, even the dog next to him will side with you." Xia Nianzhen laughed wantonly, his steps became more and more unsteady, and Qian Luo, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, stepped forward Supporting her, Xia Nianzhen said again: "Wen Lan, do you still remember what you said when the emperor bestowed you on Zi Yi?"

"Remember, don't dare to forget until death." Wen Lan's voice was calm, Xia Nianzhen said: "Just remember, as long as you remember, you don't need me to do it." Someone flickered in the room, and Wen Lan suddenly pulled Stopped me and said: "Princess, sending Ling Dan away is the last thing the lord will tell me, please don't stop me, wangfei."

"As long as I have breath, don't even try to take him away!" Xia Nianzhen threw the teacup angrily, and in an instant, hundreds of soldiers rushed out from all directions to surround Wen Lan and me.Wen Lan's sharp sword was unsheathed, and a dozen men in black jumped down from the roof, protecting Wen Lan and me.

Xia Nianzhen turned around and sat lazily on the wooden chair, with a harsh voice: "Ling Dan, don't rush to leave, the good show has just begun. You are the protagonist in today's scene, if you leave, you have to call Dai Yi'an and Li Ci How do you play the flute?" Before the sound fell, the famous soldier came out of the back room dragging an object, and when the soldier walked up to me, I realized that he was dragging Yi'an.

"Yi'an!" I was about to step forward, but Wen Lan grabbed me.Yi An was covered in blood and his face was covered in scars.I was anxious and angry, and said angrily: "Xia Nianzhen, what did you do to Yi'an?!" Xia Nianzhen took a leisurely sip of tea before raising his eyes to look at me: "It's nothing. What I did was repeated on Dai Yi'an."

My feet went limp and I fell to the ground.Suddenly there was a loud noise from behind, and a soldier hurried over and said: "Princess, the King of Thailand is here with the Imperial Guard!" Xia Nianzhen snorted coldly, "It's just in time, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite him, Li Cixiao What!" She got up and drew out the long sword of the soldier beside her, pointed it at Dai Yi'an's heart and said, "Ling Dan, come here."

The long sword pierced Dai Yi An Xin's mouth bit by bit, and I broke away from Wen Lan's hand: "Don't hurt him, I'll come over and I'll come over." Wen Lan grabbed me with his backhand, "I can't pass!" I cried, " Yichun is dead, Li Xuan is also dead, I can no longer let Yian die because of me."

"But if you pass by now, Dai Yichun and the prince will die in vain." Wen Lan's words hit my sore spot, and I was at a loss and helpless for a moment. "Yuqian!" Li Cixiao came striding forward in armor leading the imperial guards, Xia Nianzhen took a step back, Xia Nianzhen pulled out the long sword that pierced into Dai Yian's flesh and blood, she said with a smile : "King of Thailand, it seems that your seizure of power last night went smoothly, and now you have brought the Imperial Guard here."

"Xia Nianzhen, if you let Yuqian go, I can spare you." I haven't seen Li Cixiao for a day and a night, seeing him now, I just feel that he is a different person, he has become very cold, especially strange.Xia Nianzhen danced with the long sword in his hand, and said charmingly: "King Tai, I, Xia Nian, am really not afraid of death, and besides, Ling Dan doesn't want to go with you."

Xia Nianzhen suddenly turned her eyes on me, "By the way, Ling Dan, there are still many things that you don't seem to know. Presumably, the King of Thailand didn't tell you. Today, while everyone is here, I will tell you as a good thing. You." Li Cixiao broke out suddenly, "Xia Nianzhen! Are you tired of work?!" He swung his sword and killed a person, blood splattered everywhere.Everyone hastily turned their swords to point at Li Cixiao.

"I've lived for 21 years, and I'm really tired." Xia Nianzhen was hurt for a moment and pointed his sword at me, and Wen Lan immediately pointed his sword at Xia Nianzhen.Xia Nianzhen didn't take it seriously, and strode forward, "Ling Dan, do you know why there are Gu worms in your body? Do you know why Dai Yi'an didn't leave the old capital with you? Do you know why your Ling family was wiped out when you were 12 years old?" ?"

Li Cixiao charged straight forward with his sword raised, all the soldiers resisted with their swords horizontally, Wen Lan protected me and retreated repeatedly, Xia Nianzhen took advantage of the situation to slash Wen Lan and pulled me over.The sharp sword reached his throat, Xia Nian said coldly: "Li Cixiao, if you dare to take a step forward, I will immediately send him to the underworld to reunite with Ziyi!"
