Li Chaoyi's Anecdote

Chapter 18

No more doubts.

Yi Ze leapt up and floated down the high city, his sleeves brushed past the blazing flames without a single spark being disturbed.He landed lightly on the ground, passed through the body of the horseman, and blended with each other for a moment, but decades were separated in between, and no one knew the existence of the other.

He walked forward fearlessly like this, and kept walking until he could no longer hear the soldiers in his ears. When he looked up, he saw a tall and open mansion in front of him.The front door was wide open, and the place was in a mess, but Yi Ze recognized that this was clearly the Yuefu of that year, but at this moment, Le Shaocheng was probably still a naive and immature child.

Yi stepped across the threshold, went into the hall, and missed several soldiers with bloody knife-edges along the way.He stood still in front of the rockery in the back garden, and now there was a tall poplar tree standing in the place that should have been empty, with luxuriant branches and leaves, verdant and verdant.

"You're waiting here for me..."

As soon as Yi touched the tree trunk, the surroundings changed.

The beacon smoke clears, the moon is bright and the clouds are thin.

Yi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Yanshi to be able to achieve this step, to build another illusion city in a fantasy city of memories.

But Wuyi quietly emerged under the shadow of the poplar tree.

53

"Yize, you can come here to see me, no, seeing this fantasy city of remembrance, it means that we are destined to each other, I am very happy."

Yi raised his hand to touch his body, but his five fingers went straight through his chest.

"I've thought about many things for a long time, but I can't say them in front of you...but there are some things that you will never know if I don't say them, or you...pretend not to know."

"For your heart, a golden unicorn is enough, and I don't need to express it in detail. In the past 11 years, there is only one thing that has never been announced. Back then, you rushed back to the capital and were proclaimed king outside the Suzaku Gate. The late emperor lit ten miles of lanterns to welcome you and return to the court. You know that all these thousands of palace lanterns are made by myself. I am a Yanshi, and I have nothing else. But I send you these faint lights. I hope to illuminate your way home. Protect you to move forward bravely, never hesitate, never be confused, never... regret.”

"No difference..." The emperor called his name, but the man just smiled and muttered to himself.

"After so many years, I don't know how much light is left?"

"As for your past life, I already know a little bit about it. I don't dare to speculate about it. The so-called Yanshi always prays to see the way of heaven and know everything, but even with the talent and hard work of my master, What I have realized in my life is only a drop in the bucket. The world is so vast, and life is so short. I know that in this life, I will not be able to be like my master, and my name will last forever. I hope the people around me can be safe and smooth, peaceful and happy."

"And Yi Ze you..." The phantom shook its head, its brows furrowed like that of that person, "You think too much, and you are prone to heartbreak. Although I love you, I know that you are stubborn and extremely It's hard to turn around, when I entered the city, I saw you were graceful and resolute at every step, so I knew you had made up your mind early, so there's no need for me to waste my time talking."

"There is one more thing. I need to tell you that I have never forgotten the covenant with the poplar tree at the beginning. I have made it into a Yanjia, with a voice, a smile, and every move, all of which are exactly the same as yours. I know that the throne is tied to you Very deep, past life and present life, grievances and grievances are difficult to resolve. If one day you want to return to the forest, you can use this Yanjia Li to replace the peach stiffness, and I will sweep the couch in the old house of Yuefu. The secret key to unlock has been given to you, so don’t be the same The three of you know, sure."

After Yanshi finished speaking, the light faded away, and the emperor woke up from the illusory dream.

He opened his eyes and gathered himself together. In the morning light through the window, he saw a life-sized Yanjia in front of him. His hair, skin, eyebrows and eyes were lifelike, but there was a part missing in his heart.

Yi looked at the golden unicorn on the desk. It was exactly the same size, and the slightly protruding eyes were shining brightly and softly under the sunlight, just like the lights of the long street 11 years ago. , the sky is vast, let’s walk again.

Kirin Chapter·End

Clothes

In the third month of Xinyou, there are still two years before the fall of the previous dynasty.

The little emperor rested his head on the old servant's arm, and leaned over the desk to watch the two goldfish fighting in the glazed tank.At this time, a palace official bowed his head and walked in, saying, the sixth son is here.The emperor rubbed his sleepy eyes and said listlessly, "Which Sixth Young Master?"

The palace man laughed when he heard it: "Your Majesty is sleepy, how many sixth sons in the world can enter and leave the palace at will?"

The emperor reluctantly sat up and straightened the crown on his head: "Didn't he say that he will come back next month? Why is it so fast? You must have deceived me..."

Before he finished speaking, a tall and thin young man in a white robe walked in with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Heh, it took me countless efforts to slip out of that icy and snowy cage, but you didn't appreciate it..." He was wearing a crane cloak on his shoulders, and when he raised his eyebrows, his whole body was full of fireworks.

"You are also considered a cage..." The emperor suddenly stopped talking, he looked around indiscriminately, swallowed the last half of the sentence, and changed his mouth, "Where is the thing I want?"

"Please take a look, Your Majesty." The young man spread his hand, holding a thumb-sized, ruddy and slippery pill in his palm, "This is the Yulu Pill that I specially asked Senior Nanxun for. Taking it can strengthen your body and prolong your life."

Everyone in the world knows that the current emperor is obsessed with the art of longevity, sending people everywhere to search for panacea, and all the power in the court has fallen into the hands of General Yuwen.All of a sudden there were many cultivators in the city of Chang'an. Among them, the sixth son of the former Taishi's family who was the most beloved by the emperor was sent to Mount Taihua to practice since he was a child.The two often played together when they were young, and in recent years they have been in and out together, as if they were brothers.

When the emperor saw the Yulu Pill, he finally showed a smile on his face, turned his head and told the palace people: "What are you doing here, don't hurry up and bring my white jade lamp, otherwise it will be good if the medicine loses its properties. ?”

Several servants glanced at each other with a smile, answered yes unevenly, and filed out.It was only after their footsteps got further away that there was no more sound, the emperor's expression suddenly changed, his two long eyebrows were slightly furrowed, a coldness appeared in his eyes, and sharp edges and corners appeared in every outline.

He flicked his sleeves, wrapped up the pill, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said: "You go to Jiangling to meet that kid from the Wu family, what's his attitude?"

Qinghe said: "Just like his father, seeing that I am carrying His Majesty's token, I dare not neglect etiquette, but when it comes to sending troops to serve Wang Qingjun..."

"They are all people who are greedy for life and afraid of death..." The emperor snorted, crushed the pill, and took out a silk script from it, which was a letter written by the Patriarch of the Wu family.

"My ministers and others learned of His Majesty's situation. They mourned and lamented all day long. They never shed their tears. As a minister, they could not share their worries with the Lord. The real crime deserves death. However, Jiangling is a poor country and a place where the four wars were fought. Bitter... Ranchen waited for a loyal heart, but the sun and the moon dispatched 20 elite soldiers to help His Majesty... [-] people..." The emperor closed his fist and sneered, "He is sending beggars... No, Even a beggar is more respectable than the Son of Heaven like me, at least he can be happy every day without having to worry all the time, lest the next moment, three feet of white silk will float down from the beam!"

"Your Majesty, be careful, have you forgotten about the Young Emperor?" Qing He reminded suddenly.

The emperor was terrified when he heard the words, and hurriedly looked out the window, but saw a few butterflies flying around, but there was no one. He turned his head, clutching the silk scroll tightly, his eyes gradually became moist, and after a long while, he made a shy sound. Said: "You are right, I must never repeat the same mistakes."

The young emperor is Jinshang's elder brother, he was clever and enlightened since he was a child, and his intelligence is outstanding, but because of this intelligence, he lost his life in vain.

At that time, the young emperor was only eight years old. In the imperial garden, he saw the general Yuwen's sword and horse riding, and he said to the left and right, "This person must have been surnamed Liang in his previous life."This word reached Yuwen's ears, and within three days, the general launched a mutiny, occupied the palace city, deposed the young emperor, and had him strangled to death in the Taimiao.

Afterwards, the Yuwen family specially selected a taciturn young boy from the royal family to take the throne, and proclaimed himself Da Sima. Qinghe survived alone.

The emperor shook his head dejectedly: "The world is so big, is there no one who dares to compete with that traitor for the length of a day?"

"That's not necessarily true," Qing He said, "In addition to General Wu, I also met another person in Jiangling."

"Who?"

"Fourth Young Master Li?"

"The one from the Li family in Longxi?"

"Exactly."

The emperor gasped: "What did he say?"

Qinghe thought about it, didn't say a word, just dipped in the tea and wrote a few words on the case, and then wiped it with his sleeve.He slightly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, as if asking for his opinion: "Then Mr. Li promises that as long as His Majesty has a word, Longxi's [-] elite soldiers will be sent by His Majesty."

The emperor lowered his head and buried his face deeply in his palms. His breathing gradually became quicker, but his voice was still trying to maintain a calm and solemn voice.

"They're all the same raccoon..."

"I often think, why not just be a puppet for the rest of my life, and live a comfortable life of doing nothing for decades..."

"But it's not that I can't do it...it's just that I'm not reconciled..."

Looking at the emperor, Qinghe thought in his heart, if his half-brother had lived to this day, he would be a handsome young man, but if he really wanted to suffer so much, it would be better to just be wiped out in the fire.

At this time, there was a ringing sound from outside the corridor, the emperor raised his head, his face had returned to his original laziness, and he quickly whispered to Qinghe: "The old man has been quite vigilant recently, wait for a while... I'll tell you more about it."
