Rong Chu seems to be the same Rong Chu as before, as if he has never changed.

However, only Zi Lian knew that the biggest change in Rong Chu would be the only change.

Jiangnan and Shanghai, the two of them were almost dependent on each other. They walked through blood and fire all the way. How could such a deep friendship not change at all? If Lin Jiang hadn't died tragically, I'm afraid, at this time, in the imperial city,

There are rumors again that King Qi is addicted to sleeve cutting.

However, on this rainy night, Rong Chu stubbornly refused to bring up those topics and refused to be humbled by him.

Looking at the retreating figure, Zi Lian felt that the figure he saw on the Shanghai Pier some time ago might also be as lonely as this figure now.

My thoughts were stranded in this rainy night for a long time...

…

The incident of Feng Haoxuan's escape was brought up heavily by Emperor Zhaohe, but then gently put down.

Duliu Ningke stood under the burnt and incomplete overpass, looking at the toothless and empty smile of a dying old man, and inexplicably felt a little cold in his heart. He stretched out his hand to touch the location of his heart.

, he felt a faint twinge of pain... It turned out that the past events of Qionghua Palace were like this. It turned out that what he knew was not the truth. Perhaps, even what he knew was just a superficial glimpse of the past...

Shen Jue was rushed into the Zhongcui Hall. In order to avoid meeting his enemies, Ning Ke was extremely jealous, so he resigned from Emperor Zhaohe and wandered alone in Feng Haoxuan's garden.

The charred wooden beams hit the flowers and grass, and the broken stems overflowed with green grass liquid, which splashed on the charred wood, but penetrated silently, just like ink flowing into the sea, as thin as cow hair, but

Even this small amount made Ning Ke unhappy. She covered her heart and felt that something had seeped in there. She couldn't see or touch it, but it made her feel uncomfortable with every twist.

About three o'clock in the morning, Shen Jue quickly walked out of Zhongcui Hall, with a roll of imperial edict wrapped in Huang Ling in his hand.

At the same time, at the sixth palace gate, the mighty procession suddenly stopped.

Huo Shaoyu looked solemn and stood on the top of the city with his hands behind his hands, "Su Yuze, you lead the troops back immediately. I can pretend that nothing happened. You and I are still good brothers drinking together!"

The rain continued to patter, and Su Yuze sneered, looking at the man on the wall who was as steady as a sculpture.

Over the years, he has been able to understand that most of the people who are close to him have some ulterior motives from childhood to adulthood, and because of his low family status, they are even more wanton. Until he met Rong Xuan,

He moved his thoughts that he shouldn't have, and followed Rong Xuan all the way. Although he was not on the same path, it was a blessing that he could not imagine before.

Even though he unexpectedly became the official of the Jiucheng Army and Horses Division, he has always acted loyally for Rong Xuan, and he really did not hesitate to go through fire and water.

However, it was the man in front of me who approached him without any distracting thoughts. He was as cheerful as the dripping wind on the grassland, and he had a sense of pride and grace when talking and laughing.

He admired him, but knew that he couldn't do it or get close to him. He could only keep this idea and let him get closer day by day. The more he talked and laughed with him, the more he cared about him and secretly felt resentment... One night, he dreamed back and thought

Isn't it him? Isn't it that he thinks of his smile as bright as the sky, piercing the darkness of his life? However, knowing that it is impossible, the expectation and gap become bigger and bigger every day.

This was the first time that I faced him so confidently.

Su Yuze smiled bitterly, this is life, a life where there are many mistakes, but there is nothing you can do about it.

"Brother Huo." Su Yuze stared blankly at the changing flag behind Huo Shaoyu on the top of the city. Every word and every word carried a carefully considered weight, and when it fell in Huo Shaoyu's ears, he trembled.

"You and I each have our own master and perform our duties. Brother, I... have offended you."

Su Yuze glanced very quickly, swept behind Huo Shaoyu, made a rough calculation in his mind, walked to the city wall in a few steps, raised his head, and said with a brightness comparable to the sun and the moon, "Can I call you Huo Shaoyu?"

?”

Before he finished speaking, there were whizzing arrows on the city wall, falling like rain.

Su Yuze did not avoid it, but turned around and pointed at the uniform troops behind him, "The horn bow can only be fired once, hurry up..."

Before he could say the word "go", an arrow pierced the back of Su Yuze's heart. When it penetrated the bronze armor, he seemed to be slightly startled, just like the young man in bright clothes and angry horse on the city wall, who was deep and tangled.

thought.

However, it passed through after all, because the horn bow was extremely powerful. Even though the arrow pierced the flesh and the internal organs, it still had the tendency to rush forward, causing Su Yuze to pounce forward and fall hard.

On the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for a new round of arrows to be loaded into the horn bows, the troops seized the opportunity and walked quickly. No one looked back to see Su Yuze, who was huddled in the rain.

The fight for a great position should not be limited to one person's life.

Huo Shaoyu stared at Su Yuze crawling in the rain and opened his mouth, but in the end he still did not issue an order to silence him.

"Notify General Fan."

The seventh gate.

"You are finally here. I thought there was an accident on the way." The nagging gatekeeper opened the door and counted the number of people at the stall where the troops entered, but he was surprised and said, "Why is there one person missing? Su Yuze

Woolen cloth?"

"died."

The man closest to the gatekeeper answered dryly.

After years of being born and dying, when facing death, I no longer have the slightest shock.

"Oh, he can't die!" The gatekeeper has experienced a lot, and he can naturally tell at a glance that there is something not simple between Rong Xuan and Su Yuze. However, what he is worried about at this moment is not Su Yuze, but the Crown Prince Rong Xuan, who has always been difficult to serve.

"Forget it, I can't control so much for a while." The gatekeeper took a few steps, put up a flag flower, and lowered his voice, "Young Marshal Huo informed General Fan that I just pretended to agree to stop them.

I'm afraid you won't be able to delay it for long, so hurry up and leave!"

The eighth gate.

"Are you all ready?"

The man in white robe drove his horse out, glanced at the well-trained troops, and made the last war mobilization, "Your Highness has always led us generously. If things are accomplished, we are all the founding heroes of the country, and we will never be without generous rewards."

It makes sense, and if it doesn’t work, I’m afraid I’ll have to behead and implicate the nine tribes! Are you afraid?”

"Don't be afraid!"

The uniform slogans rang loudly in the courtyard of the eighth gate, in the night sky filled with heavy rain, and never dispersed for a long time.

Ninth level.

Because it is closest to the central area of ​​the imperial city, the security here is particularly tight. Most of them are Emperor Zhaohe's confidants, and there are also rotating guards temporarily transferred back from the Fengwei Camp. Most of them change every three months, and strive to ensure that the soldiers do not know the generals.

, the general does not know how to fight, so he can only serve Emperor Zhaohe loyally. If he likes Emperor Zhaohe, he can also be exempted from this military uniform and become a peace official.

However, even if it is airtight, there will be a day when it becomes fragile due to oxidation. In addition, Fengwei Camp is originally a subordinate of Rong Xuan, so someone has already arranged a paradise and is waiting there.

"Brother Xiao Wang, I drank too much wine today." The gatekeeper named Huzi poked Brother Xiao Wang and said with a sad face, "It's your fault for asking me to drink so much wine. If it's the emperor's fault, then...

It’s a matter of losing your head.”

"Shall we go to the toilet?" Brother Wang smiled honestly and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Let's go together?" Huzi frowned, "There will be no one guarding the door, so don't get caught."

"It's okay, just go to the toilet. How could you expect to be caught?" Brother Wang smiled again, "Why don't we ask Er Zhu to guard it for us."

The two of them staggered out. Brother Wang suddenly pointed behind Huzi and shouted, "What is that?"

Hu Zi has always been timid. Hearing Brother Wang's cry, he was frightened for a moment, but turned his head involuntarily. As soon as he turned his head, he felt a cold chill on his neck and lost consciousness.

After dealing with Hu Zi, Brother Wang hesitated for a while before returning to Er Zhu. Er Zhu, who was annoyed that the two of them had been out for too long, saw Brother Wang coming back. His eyes lit up and he immediately looked outside, "Where is Hu Zi?"

?”

Brother Xiao Wang still smiled innocently, took out the knife from his arms, and wiped Er Zhu's neck fiercely.

Then he scratched his head and wiped the blood from the knife on Erzhu, then stuffed it back into his boots, "I'm going to keep you company..."

No one would have imagined that in the heavy rain, which was gradually becoming a downpour, there was a group of people gradually approaching Zhongcui Hall.

…

"Not found?" Wei Chi, who had returned from Fenghaoxuan, whispered in Emperor Zhaohe's ear. However, the next moment, he was greeted by Emperor Zhaohe's angry scolding, "Who set the fire!"

"I don't know yet, but I have sent all the maids and eunuchs in Feng Haoxuan to ask." Wei Chi sweated on his forehead anxiously, and hurriedly expressed to Emperor Zhaohe that he was dedicated to his duties and was cautious.

"If you can't ask, there's no need to go back to Zhongcui Hall!"

It was the first time that Ning Ke saw Emperor Zhaohe lose such a temper. He was shocked, so he moved a little and consciously sat aside.

"Master Ning, what do you think?"

However, before Ning Ke could speak, Wei Chi, who had just walked not far away, turned back and held the note he had just brought back from the dovecot in his hand, and handed it to Emperor Zhaohe cautiously. Ning Ke thought that his eyesight was not bad, but he

However, he didn't see clearly what was written on the note. He just guessed based on Emperor Zhaohe's increasingly sinking expression that he was afraid it was not a good thing, and moreover, he was afraid it had something to do with him——

"Master Ning."

Emperor Showa's tone, which he had just put down the note, suddenly dropped. It was different from asking for advice sincerely, but it was like an interrogation.

"Some people say that you formed a clique for personal gain and had a personal relationship with the prince... These are not considered serious crimes for the time being. They also say that you were the one who planned Feng Haoxuan's leak today?"

Emperor Zhaohe blinked, his eyes which were red from staying up late, and there was a hint of coolness.
