"You know I won't leave." Chaoyang knew that Yin Cheng understood her, and since she had promised the old man, she would definitely do it.
Yin Cheng fell silent, he was also struggling.
If he and Chaoyang were both ordinary people, with no enemies, no one to chase them, and no heavy burdens on their bodies, then he would definitely take Chaoyang to the far end of the world without hesitation...
But the reality is cruel. He and Chaoyang have limited power. Without the blessing of the emperor and power, he and Chaoyang want to be free... It is simply a childish dream.
All the imagination I had in the past was just because I was naive.
The older I get, the more I know how precious rights are, and the more I know that only by standing on a high ground can we get everything we want.
If you are trampled under your feet, you will not be able to escape even if you have wings.
"Chao'er, do you still remember the story I told you when you were a child? There was a particularly powerful monkey that traveled up to the world and down to the earth. Even the gods didn't care about it. But in the end, it was pinned down by the Buddha at the foot of the mountain. For five hundred years
..." Yin Cheng supported his body and started to do it. Under the candlelight... his face was slightly pale.
Chaoyang nodded and said nothing.
She knew that Yin Cheng wanted to tell her that in the face of absolute power, even if heaven and earth were omnipotent, they would never be able to escape from the hands of the person behind them.
"The ideas we had were too childish." Yin Cheng smiled and held Chaoyang's finger firmly. "Give me some time, I can grant you everything you want. Believe me, Chao'er..."
Chaoyang raised her head and looked into Yin Cheng's eyes. She saw bottomless desire in Yin Cheng's eyes.
What he wants is power, the world, and the supreme status.
It is an absolute power that no one can shake.
His heart tightened slightly. This strong sense of oppression and desire for power was something Chaoyang had never seen in Yin Cheng's eyes.
Maybe, this is the real Yin Cheng.
Some people are born to be emperors.
"Three years, three years later... If your original intention remains unchanged, I will come out of the valley to find you." Chaoyang took a deep breath and nodded.
Yin Cheng is right, the freedom she wants is too naive.
Without absolute rights, you will never get the freedom you want.
Yin Cheng's breathing was a little rapid, and he looked at Chaoyang in panic and joy. "Chao'er..."
"Chaoer, are you telling the truth?" Yincheng looked at Chaoyang nervously and hugged Chaoyang's shoulders.
"Yeah." Chaoyang didn't promise much. Three years... no one knows what will happen in these three years.
If she can survive three years later and their original intention has not changed, she will go find Yin Cheng.
"Chao'er, you keep your word..."
Yin Cheng didn't know why Chaoyang suddenly wanted to understand. He knew Chaoyang very well, and Chaoyang hated the power schemes of the palace.
The freedom Chaoyang wants is to stay away from the court and away from these intrigues and intrigues.
"My brother... something happened." Chaoyang's voice was hoarse, and he hugged Yin Cheng with trembling fingers, and tears welled up again.
"Mu Huaicheng?" Yin Cheng's heart sank and his eyes averted.
How could Mu Huaicheng...
Even if there was a war at the border, the Queen Mother's people would not dare to actually kill Mu Huaicheng and provoke greater conflicts.
"Someone is scheming against the border army, deliberately provoking a border war, getting rid of the Mu family...cutting off all Xiao Junze's left and right hands." Chaoyang's eyes darkened, and he grabbed Yin Cheng's clothes. "You're right, it's me.
The idea is too naive. Real freedom...is based on getting rid of all hidden things."
Yin Cheng's breathing tightened. He obviously hoped that Chaoyang would grow up, but also hoped that Chaoyang would always be innocent...
"Shen Qingzhou...everything I care about was destroyed in his hands."
Yin Cheng hugged Chaoyang tightly and said nothing.
…
Southern Border Border.
"Prime Minister, Mu Huaicheng died in battle."
Shen Qingzhou's steps slowly froze, and he stretched out his hand to grab the secret guard's collar. "Didn't I tell you that no matter what, I would... stay behind for the Mu family."
After all, Shen Qingzhou still missed the ridiculous friendship he had with Mu Jingyan.
He, Mu Jingyan and Emperor Long were once brothers who talked about everything...
It's just that it's a little funny and a little sad.
"Prime Minister, please calm down. Someone deliberately angered Dayu's generals and killed the enemy general in the name of the Mu Family Army, and hung the enemy's head outside the Mu Family Army Camp..."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is missing, and something happened to Mu Huaichen. General Mu Huaicheng must have been distracted. Someone deliberately informed General Mu of the news of Mu Huaichen's accident on the battlefield... Then..."
Then Mu Huaicheng was attacked by a surprise attack, vomited blood, fell off his horse, and died on the battlefield.
"A bunch of trash..." Shen Qingzhou's eyes darkened again and again. Someone was attacking the Mu family...
What do you want to do?
Provoke a conflict between the Mu family and him?
Today's Fengtian is full of conspiracies and turmoil.
Those who couldn't hold back their temper began to take action.
If anything happens to Mu Huaicheng, countless hands will be involved...
One hair move affects the whole body.
"Thorough investigation."
Shen Qingzhou wanted to see how many evil hands Fengtian was hiding.
…
Fengtian, Kyoto Restaurant.
Changsun Wuxie was sitting on the couch. Her dark green outer lining was loose and her white bottom was unkempt.
"Master, according to your instructions, have someone tell Xiao Junze's disappearance on the battlefield and the news of Mu Huaichen's accident... Mu Huaicheng is dead, the border troops have rebelled, and the ten cities captured by the border guards have been recaptured."
Changsun Wuxie raised his head, took a sip of wine, and raised his lips. "So, the world of Fengtian is about to change hands..."
"There is news in the palace that Queen Shen is pregnant, and there is only a dragon fetus in her belly. If a boy is born, he will be the future emperor." Even Shen Qingzhou did not dare to directly plot to usurp the throne, and had to go through the Xiao family.
The young emperor first took power as regent.
When the time is right and the young emperor dies, he can take out the photos of his holy ancestor and ascend the throne directly.
"Stupid, do you think there is really a child in Shen Yunrou's belly?" Changsun Wuxie smiled. "This child must be a baby boy, and he must be the future young emperor."
"Master, then let's..."
"Looking for Xiao Junze." Changsun Wuxie stood up and smiled a little evilly.
What he wants is for Fengtian to be in chaos, and what he wants is for the Xiao family to be in dire straits.
As for who will be the emperor, his eldest grandson Wuxie is not interested at all.
He just wanted to show the late emperor that the Changsun family... could make or destroy his empire!
"Xiao Junze is in danger in southern Xinjiang, and I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster."
"He can't die." Changsun Wuxie said with great confidence. "Everyone... including Shen Qingzhou, underestimated the enemy. Xiao Junze is the most emperor-like man I have ever seen..."
"After all, he has the blood of my eldest grandson's family flowing in his body..."
Xiao Junze is definitely not simple.
He is no longer the young prince he once was, he has had supreme honor since birth.
He...is the emperor who was baptized with blood by this palace.
"Real hunters often appear in the form of prey... If an emperor is so easily hunted as a prey, then he... is not worthy of being the king of a country."
Changsun Wuxie believed that he had not misjudged the person.
Xiao Junze will come back sooner or later.
Moreover, it is the Phoenix Nirvana, reborn from the ashes...
When he comes back, it will be a complete liquidation of Fengtian and a battle with Shen Qingzhou... to eliminate the roots.
