Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 3 Troubled Times and Laws
How can a woman be a god!

Zhan Changfeng was suddenly worthless for Huanggu, worthless for herself, and the already withered rivers and mountains were even more distorted in her eyes.

In such a world, what's the use of coming?
For the first time, Zhan Changfeng had an idea that was not in line with her status as a prince.

"How about calling Huanggu back?" she asked again.

The old emperor was shrewd and wise, "She has not been married yet, and it is incompatible with etiquette. Guhui will choose a good one for her among the disciples of the aristocratic family. From now on, her husband will take care of her, and the children will pester her, so naturally she has no energy to march and fight. ."

Having said this, the old emperor pondered for a while, "But recently, there is a bandit rampage in Qushan, and there are many rebels. Maybe she can be rectified first."

"Grandson has been taught." Zhan Changfeng bowed his head, hiding her expression.

"You still have a lot to learn," the old emperor sighed again. "In the future, the world of the Yi family will be yours, and the blood of the Yi family will depend on you to continue."

Zhan Changfeng didn't ask Yi Changsheng's son whether he could inherit the throne, and the answer was obvious, no.

The child of the Yi family's daughter is not the Yi family's, even if he/she sheds half of the Yi family's blood.

Just like the daughter of the Yi family man, the water that was poured out.

At the beginning of the 46th year of Chengming, the old emperor issued eight edicts in succession to let Yi Shang, the concubine and general who conquered the South, return to the capital. Unfortunately, none of the eight envoys made it to Xifeng City, and the edicts never reached Yi Shang.

Until more than half a year later, Ling Huaizhi became the ninth messenger.

He raised his eyes and looked at the city in the distance. He used to be a handsome and elegant person, but now he was covered in wind and frost.

Xifeng City is located on the southern border, near the Yidi tribe.

The civil unrest in the three southern states has subsided, but the foreign invasion has just started. Fortunately, Yi Shang had the foresight to build a city at the border between the two ethnic groups a few years ago, pulling up a defensive line.

The meaning of Xifengcheng is to stop fighting, but in fact, there are frequent fumes, and even the city walls are dark in color, as if they were painted with blood layer by layer.

There was a row of long poles in front of the city, and on each pole were shriveled or fresh human heads, like a series of black lanterns, Ling Huaizhi didn't dare to look at it, he just stared at the closed city gate.

The soldier behind the parapet stood upright, looking down at him with sharp eyes, but no one said a word.

Ling Huaizhi was the noble son of the imperial city, and he was known for his talent, but he had never encountered such a battle before.

There was a guard above, and a loud and sullen voice forced him to come, "Who is Wu, who is sneaky, quickly report your name, otherwise don't blame me for ruthless shooting!"

Dozens of arrows have been pointed at him in the middle of the conversation.

What else could he do, he had to lose the restraint of the noble family, and shouted, "I am the emperor's envoy Ling Huaizhi! Open the city gate and let me see the general!"

The poor gentleman traveled through the poor mountains and rivers for three months. He was robbed, lost his horse, ran away from servants, and died of guards. His black hair was knotted, half of his beautiful face was cracked, and he had a broken gong and a voice, and the ghost knew what he was shouting.

The guard waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, the refugee camp is three miles away, go by yourself!"

Ling Huaizhi's eyes widened, and he wanted to argue with him, but as soon as he took half a step, an arrow was nailed in front of him, full of murderous aura!
"roll!"

"You. You!" Ling Huaizhi threw his sleeves away angrily, and fell to the ground because of hunger before he could go far.

What is this called!

Your son has already lost his temper after being tortured for months and months. After all, he was very lucky to be able to come here, instead of being in a different place like his predecessors. Thinking of this, he could only sigh and try to get up. , went to find the water source, then washed his face, combed his hair, and came to the city gate again.

"I'm the emperor's envoy!" He waved Ming Huang's imperial decree and shouted over and over again.

The guard said something to the people next to him. After a while, the city gate opened a crack, and a soldier came out, "Give me the imperial edict for the general to identify the authenticity."

Stronger than others, Ling Huaizhi had to bow his head and hand over the imperial edict. Just as he was about to enter the city with the soldiers, he was stopped.

"You can't enter yet, and wait here!"

"Don't deceive people too much!" Ling Huaizhi finally said angrily.

The soldier seemed to be looking at a fool, and he did not argue with him, and closed the city gate directly.There are so many spies, who knows if you are good or not, when Xifengcheng is really a vegetable market.

Ling Huaizhi was dizzy and rested against the city wall, but he couldn't resist the strange smell of rot that got into his nose. He touched the wall, it was damp and cold, and when he opened his palm, there was a touch of blood.

He was agitated, got a little farther away from the city wall, and stood groggy for three or four hours, then fell to the ground with a snap.

When he woke up again, he saw the bed curtain, and suddenly felt an animation in his mind.

Just in time, there was a knock on the door, "Envoy Ling, the general wants to see you."

He found that he had already been cleaned up, and he only needed to put on his clothes and organize his descriptions, but as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he couldn't stop hesitating. In the end, he was still a little scared.

He would not naively think that Di Ji could go back to the capital with him in peace.

"Ling Huaizhi, see Your Highness." He bowed his hands and looked at his feet.

"There is no His Royal Highness here, only the General."

Double ten woman, red robe and black armor, standing upright, at first glance, lonely and indifferent.Ling Huaizhi almost thought he had mistaken someone.

"General." He made up his mind, although the imperial decree was already in the hands of Yi Shang, he had to fulfill his mission, "The little minister is here under orders, please take over the affairs of Xifeng, and return with the little minister. The imperial city is restored."

"Okay." Yi Chang seemed to agree to an unimportant request.

"Your Majesty misses you very much, and Qushan needs you." Ling Huaizhi suddenly stopped, a little unbelievable, she agreed, she agreed so easily? !
Ling Huaizhi retired in a trance, and things went smoothly to make him uncomfortable.

Yi Chang chuckled lightly, picked up the cloth and wiped the spear, the bright spear head was poured with the lives of thousands of people, and the cold winter light fell on it, which was colder than ice.

This is the deep pool, carrying worldly love and hatred, this is the abyss of silence, in front of which everything important or small will become insignificant.

This is the end.

A white plum blossom floated down the branch, the breeze swayed slightly, and the gentleman was lofty.

Seeing the smile on the corner of her mouth, Mei Yichi frowned slightly, and offered her own invitation again, "Follow me back to the mountain, the road is smooth."

Her laughter is a sense of indifference and desolation after seeing the world and seeing through the world, making the younger generation despair for no reason, and the peers sighing relieved.

But Mei Yichi didn’t understand. He was born in the spring and white snow, grew up in Hu Hao Mountain, and was immersed in the precepts of Taoism. Everything in the world seemed to him to see the water across the mountains. chase.

Of course, he didn't intend to understand, but he met Yi Chang, a woman whose heart was still floating in this world.

The Taoist heart trapped in the world made him seem to see the pearl thrown into the rubbish heap. The beautiful jade left ashes was sad and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but "set things right" and let her go to the right place.

However, she only admits that she is a general.

"You will die." Mei Yichi saw her future.

"Of course I will die."

"Follow me."

Yi Chang pursed her lips, "I don't know what you keep saying, and I don't know what reason I have for leaving you, I only know that the reason why I am who I am now is because of my choice and persistence. "

"Is the mortal world so worthy of nostalgia?" Mei Yichi was puzzled.

"Nostalgia?" Yi Chang felt amused, "On the contrary, I hate it."

"I hate war, I hate stupid and cowardly people, I hate the calculations in the court, and I even want to abandon this endless life, but I never back down."

Yi Chang said again, "The war is for the family and the country, and the stupid and cowardly people will try their best to survive, and there are loyal and righteous people in the court. This kind of life may not end one day. They didn't let me despair, how dare I let them down. ."

Mei Yichi was speechless, he wanted to say something he was obsessed with, but he couldn't say anything.

Human affairs are more complicated than scriptures and morals.

Ling Huaizhi knew that it wasn't that simple. He would ask when to leave every day, and the reply he got was always a lot of things, and he had not yet handed over.

Except for the first time, he had never seen Yi Chang's figure at all.

He also recalled the court banquet on the Mid-Yuan Festival. At that time, the Yin Dynasty was still considered peaceful. She was a graceful and splendid concubine on a high platform, with a dignified manner and arousing admiration.

Is it worse than being so impermanent in life and death to stay in the palace and be a concubine who is served by someone?
She is not a man.

Ling Huaizhi wasted more than a month in the heavily guarded General's Mansion, and finally squatted at the gate and arrested Yi Chang.

When it was, Yi Chang's armor was stained with blood, and a strand of hair beside her temple brushed her stern cheeks, smelling blood.

Ling Huaizhi couldn't help but take a step forward, "Your Highness, I love you!"

So. His Adam's apple rolled, and the rest of the words were swallowed up by her clear and indifferent eyes.

So can you come back to the capital with me, I will give you a safe home.

Yi Chang glanced at him and strode towards the study, followed by the generals behind him.

The generals looked at the "little white face" inexplicably, shook their heads, and ignored it.

Yi Chang and the generals gathered around the topographic map and re-arranged their troops. Just an hour ago, their food and forage troops were robbed by the barbarian tribes, and later they had an encounter on the southeast trail.

There have been too many small moves by the Yidi tribes recently, and I am afraid there will be a war.

After the discussion, one of the generals teased, "The one in the imperial city has resorted to beauties in order to get you back. It's really interesting, hahaha."

"Hey, that little white face is not worthy of our general."

Someone stroked his beard and said, "The case is full of eyebrows, and the children and grandchildren are full. The old man is extremely envious."

The atmosphere was quiet.

Yi Chang was as motionless as a mountain, "The national disaster is at the forefront, and the others are not enough to mention."

"The general said so."

The generals were relieved and retired.

"I'll just say, how could the general abandon us."

"I don't blame me for worrying. Women are always indulging in stability and are comfortable with three meals a day. If the general is tired and suddenly wants to go back and get married, what will happen here?"

Everyone has no good feelings for Ling Huaizhi, who is wandering at the door of the crescent moon. A man knows the love of his sons and daughters, and his poetry and songs.

Mei Yichi has been hiding by Yi Chang's side all the time, and now she seems to sigh, "He is sincere to you, and he is reluctant to let you suffer."

Yi Chang didn't realize who he was talking about for a while, and when he did, he didn't feel much. "I heard that the son of Youcheng is a talented person. It turns out that the world's words are always wrong."

If it was said that her impression of Ling Huaizhi was on You Cheng's son before, she couldn't help but despise him now.

Ling Huai's journey from the imperial city to Xifeng was full of embarrassment. He had experienced the cruelty of this era, but for more than a month, he did not care about the displacement of the people or the disputes between Yi and Di, he was determined to bring her back to the capital, and even Running to the kitchen to cook a spoon to please her, I really don't know whether to say he has a big heart or ignore current affairs.

"Shouldn't you be moved?" Mei Yichi felt that the human race was really complicated.

"What am I moved by?" Inexplicable.

Mei Yichi solemnly took out a storybook from her arms, "In my view of the story, whenever words such as 'promise you to live in peace' and 'avoid your wandering', the heroine will be heartbroken. A home for life, I thought it was the key to a relationship between a man and a woman."

Yi Chang twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at his natural appearance, he couldn't help but sigh a little, what a good flower, how could he go astray so quickly.

She lost the book and said earnestly, "Fiction stories are all lies, don't believe them."

"Do you want to experience the world?"

Mei Yichi nodded.

He failed to bring Yi Chang back to Hu Hao Mountain, and was very frustrated. He was a little more curious about the world and wanted to know more.

Yi Chang thought thoughtfully, "It's better to experience it yourself if you look at it more."

She said, "How about I borrow your identity?"

"Ok?"

"Didn't you say that Ling Huaizhi is sincere to me? Why don't you pretend to be me and go back with him and experience his sincerity. Anyway, I don't know him, and you don't know him either."

This idea is very absurd, but Mei Yichi is not a secular person, so she naturally thinks differently, so she thought about it seriously.

"It's possible, but" Mei Yichi thought clearly, "In this way, you owe me a favor."

"You owe it, you can take it back when you want it." Yi Chang laughed.

Mei Yichi felt a bit of melancholy, "Do you have any other wishes? Since you want to owe, just owe a few more."

Yi Chang thought for a while, "I can achieve what I want, but what I can't achieve, you won't help."

She pressed her eyebrows, her tone suddenly became a little heavy, and she thought about it, "If the Yin Dynasty breaks down one day, and you happen to be here, just take my nephew and leave a trace of blood for the Yi family."
