Withered vines and old trees, dark crows flying in the snow.

In the imperial capital of Darong, on the high mountain in the north of the city, Duke An Guo, Tang An, stood in front of an old tree with gray hair.

On the tree, there are some characters carved crookedly. Even though they have been weathered for a long time, they can still be faintly recognized.

"Organize the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!"

The deep and vicissitudes of voice read these seven words again.

In front of his eyes, there was a faint image of him coming here as a child and setting his life's ambition.

The child is laughing, with light and the future of the country in his eyes.

But the morning is like blue silk and the evening is like snow, the past is as vivid as yesterday, but when I look back, things have changed.

Tang An immediately laughed at himself, and burst into tears while laughing.

Leading by example, not forming factions, not being greedy, opening up territories, working hard, but nothing can compare to the emperor's thoughts.

If the king wants his minister to die, he must die.

But just to pursue the illusory path of cultivating immortality, you have to give a sixteen-year-old girl to a dying charlatan?

Just to avoid being disturbed by the turbulent situation, he would destroy the Great Wall, recall his eldest son Tang Hen to the imperial capital, and give up his martial arts?

The reason is that Tang Hen is the only general in Darong who can fight against the Killing God Li without any flaws.

The emperor wanted peace, so Dayan asked for peace by deposing Tang Hen.

So the emperor actually destroyed the Great Wall and deposed Tang Hen.

On the battlefield, Tang Hen was like a little god of murder, but in the dark and treacherous atmosphere of the imperial capital, he didn't understand anything.

A "collusion with the Jiangnan rebels" dragged the entire Anguo government into the abyss.

now

It's too late.

But rather than being sent to the ancient city of Daxing and living an ignoble existence, it would be better to die here.

The Anguo policeman took the rope, slowly stood on a stone that had been prepared earlier, put the rope loop into his neck, then opened his eyes wide and looked south.

He wants to look at the Imperial Capital of Darong, the rebels in the south, and the Dayan Dynasty in the south.

"cough"

The old man suddenly twitched, then groaned, glared more and more angrily, and stopped struggling until he died.

But even after he died, his old eyes were still looking into the distance, reflecting the Snow Wind Imperial City.

However, as time goes by.

A man in gray robe appeared in this pair of holes.

The man has long hair, and his whole body is filled with a strange power that is completely different from anyone in this world. He is like a demon from the sky. Every inch of his skin is flawless and filled with an almost powerful pressure.

The man walked up to the dead An Guo Gong, and the clothes on his chest fluttered slightly, and a red petal like a blood snake was revealed.

The petals of the flower meandered, raised its head, and stopped in front of An Guogong, and then pierced into the center of An Guogong's eyebrows.

Wave

A circle of ripples was created in the spiritual world.

In the ripples, there is an old man's life, and all the people related to him, relatives, enemies, friends, proud things and regretful things.

Everything is connected to a revolving lantern, slowly rotating.

The man closed his eyes for a long time, as if digesting the old man's memory.

After a long while, he said softly: "Found it."

Imperial Capital.

Anguo Gongfu.

It was empty, dilapidated, and a miserable atmosphere filled the air without any cover.

The old lady vomited blood and died, while the eldest lady hanged herself. The rest of the beautiful scrolls were taken away and sent to the Dance and Music Department for training. After that, they would welcome guests and the officials could spend some silver to play with them.

at this time

The Duke's Study Room.

A middle-aged man with a tall stature but a face full of sorrow and anger sat in front of a desk, holding a letter on the desk and reading the contents of the letter softly.

"Every year from now on, everything will be up and down. Don't forget to tell Naiwen when you have family sacrifices."

After reading it, he put the letter down, closed his eyes, and said sadly: "Father, he has gone too."

This is Tang Hen, Tang An's eldest son.

He was once a powerful general guarding the country in the South, but now his martial arts has been abolished and he will be sent to the frontier.

The word "hate" should not appear in the name of a duke's eldest son, but An Guogong had three major hatreds in his life.

The first hatred is to be able to stand upright with swords and horses to protect the territory and guard the country.

The second hatred is that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there are thousands of buildings to provide for the poor people.

The third hatred is that the world will be unified, there will be no more wars, and everyone will be the same.

However, An Guogong was a man of letters, so naturally he could not stand upright. Although he could not, he longed for it. Therefore, he gave his son the word "hate".

Tang Hen, on the other hand, was a natural prodigy in martial arts training and military use. He could be said to have never failed to live up to his father's expectations.

Opposite Tang Hen was a calm man with a calm face, who seemed unmoved even when the wind and thunder stirred up, and the sky collapsed and the earth shattered.

This is Tang Shou, Tang An's second son.

The word "Shou" can be said to be a person who lives up to his name.

Literary scholars in the imperial capital once commented that "the Tang Dynasty guard made moves, only defending but not attacking." But when all your offensives have been resolved one by one, look at the chessboard again, and you will see that his pieces are everywhere, and you can defeat others without fighting. The power of complete victory without attacking.

At this time, Tang Shou was sitting upright. When he heard his eldest brother's words, "Father, I'm gone," he sighed and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not that simple. There are experts behind it. What you want is to give our Tang family a Death place."

Tang Hen's hand tendons and hamstrings were severed, but his naturally powerful physique meant that although he could no longer use his true energy, he could still act like a normal person. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it??"

Tang Shou shook his head, "It's hard to say."

Tang Hen said: "The family has been destroyed and people have died. Second brother, you still want to guard it? What else do you have to say?!"

Tang Shou smiled bitterly, "Brother, the more you see through it, the harder it is to tell. What's more, I haven't seen it through yet. But I swear to you, if there is even the slightest chance, I, Tang Shou, will definitely seize this opportunity and let my Tang family Comeback!!”

Tang Hen said: "The old lady is dead, my mother is dead, my father is dead, my third sister has been thrown into the cold palace, and my wife and daughter have also been sent to the Dance Department. I regret it! I really regret it!! If If I had known what would happen today, I would have directly picked you up, led my troops to surrender to Great Yan, and then fought back, killed this Great Rong with my own hands, and then killed that dog emperor!!"

Tang Shoudao: "Brother, please stop talking. Walls have ears. You can't tell if anyone is snooping now."

Tang Hen said angrily: "Tang Shou, have you always been so calm?"

Tang Shou sighed and asked: "Is anger useful?"

"Hahahahaha" Tang Hen laughed sadly, but he didn't quarrel with this second brother anymore. He clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Damn it, it's really damned! Damn it!"

Damn it, but I don’t know if I’m talking about the emperor, himself, or both.

Tang Shoudao: "I'm going to count the people who will go to Daxing Ancient City tomorrow. Today, the Dance and Music Division has picked up a lot of girls, and the Dead Soldiers' Camp has also captured a lot of strong men. There are not many people in the mansion, but there still needs to be someone. Rules and Regulations.”

Tang Hen sneered, and he didn't even want to pay attention to his second brother's words.

His temperament is like fire, and his second brother is like ice.

It's just that Bing is so ruthless, so ruthless that it seems like he is an outsider and a player in the game.

A good chess player, no matter how many pieces he is beaten, will not be disturbed, but will try to gain insight and try to make a comeback.

However, this was not a game of chess. The second brother was still so indifferent. Tang Hen couldn't understand it.

However, from now on the two of them will be in the same boat.

The ancient city of Daxing is extremely dangerous, and it might become the burial place for the two of them.

It is not necessarily a good thing that the second brother has such a cold temperament.

Tang Hen was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Tang Shou's surprised shout. This shout was full of excitement. Tang Hen had never heard his second brother be so excited. He hurriedly got up and rushed out of the door.

Outside the door, the white-haired old man was standing in front of the door. The second brother knelt down in front of the old man and howled.

Kneeling next to the second brother was a beautiful middle-aged woman. The beautiful woman was the fourth eldest child in the family, named Tang Yan. She was divorced and returned to her parents' home for unknown reasons. Beside Tang Yan, there was still a silly white woman standing.

The girl stared blankly.

Tang Hen scanned the scene, eyes filled with tears, and stared blankly at the old man, then knelt down and shouted: "Dad!!!!"

No matter what dispels the father's will to die, it is a good thing for the son!

Just come back, just come back

The next day.

Thirty-four members of Duke An's family were driven out of the imperial city in shackles. Except for a few backbones, most of the people in the group, both old and young, were picked and picked.

In order to allow the family to be exiled to Daxing Ancient City "safely", the Ministry of Punishment specially arranged for 60 government officials to escort them.
