After the last snowfall in Changling City, it will be spring. The wind is blowing outside, the sky is covered with snow, and the sky is full of white snow dancing wildly. Such a cold winter night makes people feel as if they can’t see the coming of spring.

The shadow guard driving the carriage gritted his teeth, whipped the whip in his hand extremely fast, the horse neighed and galloped in the heavy snow and wind, and drove the wheels across the deep snow at high speed.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiang Yu was anxious and flustered, and the whip in the shadow guard's hand to urge the fast horse to move forward seemed to be whipped on his body.

He has never been so anxious before, and the final battle with Wunu border that decided his life or death has never made him so panic-stricken. Xiang Yu is eager to see Xiang Rong.

Bai Qingjin's words echoed in his ears repeatedly, turning everything that he and the shadow guard calmly analyzed in the imperial study into a curse of evil spirits.

42 beams of the Ning family, with a blood height of two inches and eight points into the wood, at that time Xiang Rong held the sword and stood in a sea of ​​blood pooled by the blood of his closest relatives.

That was the Ning family, they were all his relatives connected by blood.

Back then, when Xiang Rong slaughtered his relatives with his own hands, what was he thinking?He was thinking that the Ning family was dead, and since there was no trace of the fire, as long as his goal was achieved, then it didn't matter who did it.

He is like a fisherman in front of the snipe and the clam, he considers himself superior, throwing a fish will cause the snipe and the clam to fight to the death, he calmly and contemptuously smiles at their stupid and overpowering scramble, and only waits for both of them to be hurt before he flicks Clothes sleeves stood up slowly, and raised their feet to run over their heads.

Before he left, he still sneered, laughing at their humbleness and insignificance.He thinks he is clever, but he never thought about the little fish that he threw out that day and was still struggling to bounce in the mouth of the snipe and clam.

It is the most innocent one, left in the shoal, used as bait alive, being bitten by two sharp teeth.Xiang Yu threw it away so easily at the time, and now he regrets it so much. He doesn't know when compatibility became the bait. Five years ago, he was bitten by a snipe and a clam, dripping with blood...

Everything in the world has its own rules, and they are intertwined, so there is a beginning and an end, cause and effect, so the first thing in the beginning is wrong, and everything that follows is wrong.

Xiang Yu couldn't help becoming confused, and completely began to doubt the way she came along: Is it wrong?

Was his original choice really right?What was the reason why he did not hesitate to get his hands covered in blood, stepping on countless corpses to sit on the throne step by step?

He still remembers the first time he met when he was young, the boy crossed the palace gate and sat on the wall of the cold palace, and he stood under the palace wall and saw his moon.

Compatibility is the bright moon he saw in the dark cold palace. The beautiful pear tree branches crossed the palace wall, and the stamens on the branches carried the moon, and the flawless white light poured down from the sky to illuminate the branches, and he let him see spring.

Putting all kinds of things aside, in fact, sitting on the throne in the first place has nothing to do with other things. At the beginning, he thought very simple - take off his moon, and then, protect him well in this vortex of blades.

Protect Rongrong well, his idea reached its peak after the Ning clan's treason case happened and Xiangrong lost everything.He began to pursue the power of the peak by all means. He wanted to control the whole world, so that the people in the court could not calculate under his feet, and all the filth in the world could not be exposed to him. His eyes were clean.

But in the end, what he always thought was subverted, and he wanted to protect him, so he suffered the most serious injury.

There is no crueler torture than this in the world!

He wanted to question Rong Rong, to criticize him loudly, he wanted to ask him clearly why his heart was so cruel!

The city was full of wind and snow, the strong wind knocked down the big trees, the gates of Prince Huai's mansion were closed tightly, and several lanterns hanging at the gate were cut off by the wind and fell down heavily one after another.

The big horse was neighing under the reins, its front hooves were unsteady, and it was trampling back and forth. Before the carriage stopped, it was too late for Ruan An to hold the lamp. Xiang Yu had already jumped off the carriage and walked straight to the gate of Duke Huai's Mansion.

The snow on the eaves of the door was crushed by Xiang Yu's footsteps as soon as it fell, the imperial guards knelt in front of the door, mouthing long live before saying a word, His Majesty didn't pause, the corner of his clothes brushed directly in front of them under the cold wind .

As soon as he entered Huai Wang's mansion, Xiang Yu went straight to Rong Rong's courtyard, where the long corridor twisted and twisted,

Xiang Yu's feet didn't stop for a moment, and the snow blown in by the night wind was crushed by him.Ruan An followed behind him, holding a handful of thin palace lanterns that could not be shaken, and the starlight candles were flickered and flickered by the winter wind.

The closer you are to him, the more anxious Xiangyu's mood is when you are close at hand. When you reach the end of the long corridor, you can knock on the door of compatible courtyard just by turning a corner.

"Squeak-"

Just as they turned the corner, there was a knock on the door in front of them.

Xiang Yu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he only heard him order Ruan An in a low voice: "Turn off the light."

The burning flame in the palace lantern was cut off, leaving a long wisp of smoke rising, Xue Ye hid Xiang Yu and Ruan An in the darkness.

The wind and snow made trouble, and the courtyard door was covered with thick snow. After pushing the door, someone came out from the courtyard, stepping on the snow with "squeaks and creaks", Xiang Yu heard the sound of two people's footsteps.

A few meters away from the courtyard gate, there are two forks on the left and right. Xiang Yu came from the front gate and just walked down the long corridor on the left side of the courtyard gate. , two figures in front of him came into Xiang Yu's eyes.

A cold wind suddenly picked up and passed through the hall, the already extinguished palace lantern in Ruan An's hand was blown forward, the strong wind swept past Xiang Yu's back, and hit the people who were going forward.

"Cough...cough cough"

Against the wind, the sound of coughing came to Xiang Yu's ears clearly, and then Xiang Yu saw him.A hood covered his face, and the snow-white thick cloak tightly wrapped his thin body, but the raging wind and snow could almost crush him.

Neither of them noticed Xiang Yu who was just a few feet away, butler Tong carefully supported Xiang Rong and walked past Xiang Yu's eyes and walked to the other side.

I was anxious all the way from the palace to here, the corners of my clothes were soaked by the wind and snow, but now that the person was right in front of me, so close, Xiang Yu suddenly didn't dare to go forward.

Prince Huai's mansion is heavily guarded, and Xiang Yu has no time to find out why Xiang Rong was able to walk out of the courtyard. Along the way, Du Duo questioned Yan Mi. He looked at Xiang Rong's back as he kept moving forward. He wanted to know where he was going and what he was doing.

In the wind and snow, Rong Rong's figure gradually drifted away, while Xiang Yu took steps behind him.

Xiang Yu didn't dare to follow too closely, he was afraid that he would find out, so he always kept a distance of three feet.With the wind and snow in his ears, Xiang Yu couldn't hear Xiang Rong's heavy panting breathing, but he could tell from his sloppy steps how bad his physical condition had become.

Butler Tong supported Xiang Rong, and stopped after a dozen or so steps, and slowed down, and every time he slowed down, a heart-piercing cough mixed with wind and snow clearly spread to Xiang Yu's ears not far behind, and he The hand hanging by the side trembled more and more.

Xiang Yu followed him all the way, and saw Butler Tong supporting Xiang Rong up the long and narrow corridor, the hanging lights on the corridor were on, Xiang Yu didn't dare to follow here, he was afraid that Xiang Rong would see him when he turned around.

Xiang Rong walked on the corridor in front, while Xiang Yu walked on the corridor behind him, there was no shelter outside the corridor, the snow and the wind were endless, the snow was so deep that one foot did not reach the feet, it was icy cold, it was difficult to move forward, the wind was blowing and the snow was obstructing, Ruan An had to squint his eyes, but seeing Xiang Yu, he was really worried about the dragon's body, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty..."

Xiang Yu vainly ignored Ruan An's dissuasion, but at this time the corridor didn't know what was going on, and he saw Tong Butler in front supporting Xiang Rong to sit down.

Xiang Rong hunched over, pressed one hand tightly on Mi Mi's painful chest, panting endlessly.

Butler Tong hurriedly put down the lamp in his hand, and hurriedly gave Xiangrong his back. When Congrong slowed down, he squatted in front of him, trying to dissuade him: "My lord, don't go, you can't walk anymore."

Xiangrong didn't say a word, looking at the rabbit lamp placed on the ground.Last time, Xiangrong accidentally broke it in the kiosk, and it hit the ground heavily. Several lamps were broken. The candles inside burned the lamp paper, and most of the whole lamp was burned.

After Xiang Yu left that night, he picked it up from the ground, and he has been repairing it these days, but no matter what method he used, it couldn't be restored to the way Xiang Yu made it for him.

Seeing Rongrong like this, Butler Tong was worried.

He looked at Rong Rong along the way.Why didn't he want to be compatible? When he knew that Xiang Rong was tossing himself so much at night while he was seriously injured, his first reaction was the same annoyance as Xiang Yu, but the difference was that he knew the truth back then, how angry he was If you are tolerant and don't feel sorry for yourself, you will feel so distressed.

"Butler Tong..."

"Oh, the old slave is here."

The snow kept falling, layer by layer, and the snow falling all over the sky was reflected in his black pupils. He blinked: "Butler Tong, this snow is about to stop."

"Then when the snow stops, let's go."

Butler Tong was startled.

He withdrew his far-sighted gaze, and the warm candlelight at his feet reflected on his face. His two eyelashes were thick and slender, casting a small shadow under his eyelids. He had a very peaceful appearance, so peaceful that he could give people a feeling of being at any time. The illusion will be shattered.

He said quietly, "Changling traveled to the south of the Yangtze River for about three months. If there are no accidents in the middle, it will be early summer when you return to Sucheng. At that time, the lotus in the lotus pond in Sucheng had just bloomed..."

In early summer, the lotus blossoms first bloomed. In the house in the deep alley, the vines managed by Butler Tong should grow very prosperously, with luxuriant branches and leaves, green and lush, and bunches of purple fruits under the trellises.Butler Tong still remembered what he said to Rong Rong when they left Suzhou City. He said that when they went back, he would let Er Chuan make a bamboo couch and put it under the vine trellis for Xiang Rong to cool down.

"The cicadas and birds are singing on the top of the tree. Er Chuan took Yue Ning out to climb the tree to catch the cicadas. The place in Suzhou City is small and peaceful. It's not so complicated. You can rest and enjoy yourself..."

"Your Highness." Butler Tong wanted to beg him, persuade him to be compatible, and beg him to delay.Wait until the body is better before leaving. There is no need to be in such a hurry. He still has a lot of time and can do many things. There is no need to worry about making arrangements for the future now.

But in fact, Butler Tong knew that Xiangrong couldn't stay in this Changling City anymore, because he didn't even know how long he could last, and the only thing Xiangrong wanted was to leave when he couldn't last anymore. At least...he couldn't fall down in this Changling city.

But it would be best if he could last until he arrived in Sucheng, so that he could arrange the belongings of everyone around him better, and the most important thing is that Sucheng is far enough away from Changling City, and the carriages and letters are very slow. No one went to prove it, and it was far enough to hide one thing for many, many years.

"It's just that there are still two strings left...he is the one who worries me the most." Xiang Rong said, "Of course you don't need to say it. As for Yue Ning, he is still young and hasn't done anything yet, so what he said and did is always the same. He can forget very quickly, and he has many things to fill in the future. But Er Chuan is different. He has been by my side for so many years, and he is obsessed with doing things. He regards me as God, and even throws himself away. Yes. You said he was reckless and slow, but in fact he knows everything, no one told him about the Ning clan, but I know he should know, but he just didn’t say anything.”

Rongrong bowed his head: "Butler Tong, you can watch him for me. I entrust him to you, so you can watch him for me. Don't let him be stupid."

Butler Tong, the housekeeper was in tears, and didn't know how to agree to be compatible.

Compatibly holding Butler Tong: "Only this, please promise me,"

"...Okay, the old slave agrees."

What he asked for was granted, there was nothing to worry about, and only then did a faint smile appear on the corner of Rongrong's mouth.

The snow outside the corridor was blown into the corridor by the wind. At this moment, there was a sound of slow footsteps in the empty corridor.
