Hua Feng held the thick sandalwood box tightly in his hand. The autumn wind was cold, but her palm was filled with sweat. When she opened the box gently, her fingers were trembling and she almost fell down.
The wooden box is gently opened. One side of the scroll is lying quietly inside.
"Shu'er, in fact, my father has known the name of the edict for a long time. But if you see it, you will be surprised." Tang Chong said.
The flower-turned became even more nervous.
Unlike what she thought, the Five Colors Edict would definitely be written in the brocade and silk book. In fact, it uses the most uncontestable white paper. The paper has been through thousands of years, and although it has been carefully protected, it still has traces of yellow decay.
Hua Feng took out the edict and spread it out bit by bit. Her movements were very careful, as if what was unfolded in her hands was the skin of the birth baby.
The handwriting on the edict shows a red color with old traces.
"The blood of the green dragon." Tang Chong said. "The handwriting on the Five Colors Edict is written in the blood of the demon clan named Qinglong who lives in the sea.
Hua Feng almost moved her eyes down word by word. She read every word of cliché about destiny without saying a word, but only her eyes were looking at it. Her whole brain was nervous as if it was frozen and she could no longer move.
She had already guessed that the name on the edict should not be Shangguan Jinnian.
Nearly suffocating nervously.
Her eyes still passed the long and detailed descriptions above. She saw the name written at the end.
For a moment, her heart was about to stop beating.
She turned her head without any comment and looked at Tang Chong, as if looking for a negative answer.
Is there something wrong with her eyes? Or is this edict another fake?
Tang Chong's face was calm and gentle.
In one corner of the edict, there was a dot-shaped scar left behind by burning. It was left twenty years ago when Tang Chong burned the edict. Its existence proved that what was in front of her was indeed a five-color edict that was replaced by falsely.
"How is it possible?" Hua Fei couldn't believe it at all. "Father, how could it be him?" She almost questioned Tang Chong.
But Tang Chong said nothing. He just sighed and said, "Since everyone in the world says that these five-color edicts represent the destiny of heaven, perhaps, this is really the will of heaven."
Hua Fan was a little stunned. "Why, he still did this? He also knew, doesn't he?"
Tang Chong smiled: "This, you asked him to ask him. My father only knows one thing that is as noble as the throne in this world, not everyone wants to get it. Some people try their best to snatch it, but some people already have it, and instead keep pushing it out. Perhaps this is also God's will."

"Tu tuk." The autumn night wind rolled up the dust under the moonlight. This was probably the first time Hua Feng took the initiative to find Yan Honglei in so many years. Since she met this domineering and sexy product, she seemed to be entangled by him. She ran away with him passively, and was rescued by him again and again.
She once thought that this was just because they happened to be unlucky at the same time, or had the same goal at the same time. Now, it may be that this is also called destiny. Destiny is never in that thin edict, the so-called destiny is free in the hearts of the people.
"Here's here, stupid!" Hua Fei knocked on the door for a long time, but the sound of smoky tears came from behind. Hua Fei suddenly turned around, raised the corners of her lips and smiled awkwardly.
Yan Honglei held his gem sword in his hand, stood in the moonlight and dust, and wiped the sword against the Qinghui in a courtyard.
The pale sword edge was almost translucent under the light, like a peerless treasure jade.
"...It's very clean." Hua Cai didn't know what she was embarrassed about. She scraped her stomach for a long time and only found this sentence.
Yanhonglei did not appreciate her compliment. He focused on wiping the sword, and the sheepskin in his hand made a rustling sound. Yanhonglei smiled softly and said, "Where can we wipe it clean? I don't know how much blood is stained, it's so dirty."
Hua Fan silently curled his lips to the slut, saying, "Then why do you have to kill so many people?"
Yanhongqing stopped moving, and glanced at Hua fiercely, saying, "Of course, someone wants to kill me, so I have to kill them. Judging from what you mean, why does it seem like I have always just killed people for myself?"
Hua Fei choked to death. Of course, Yan Honglei didn't just kill people for himself. At least when they were desperate together, he played almost all the roles of fighting and killing. Hua Fei was professional in pulling his back and selling his teammates for many years.
"Actually... you don't need to be like this, right?" Hua Fan said. "I never thought that... the person in the edict was you."
When she saw the name of the five-color edict with the smoky tears, she was so scared.
Yanhongqing's figure hesitated, but then returned to normal. "Oh, you know. If the edict cannot be burned, find a place to hide it." He said calmly and windy, as if he was about to hide it, just a few cabbages.
"Why?" Hua frowned, and the questions in her mind surged up.
"What's the reason?" Yanhonglei smiled and asked her back.
"Why is it that the person in the edict is you, and why, you don't care at all?" Hua Fan said.
Yanhong said, "It's very simple. I don't care because it's not my thing at all."
The flowers flipped over to the edge of the corridor, stomped on the railings, and were very focused on listening to the story.
"Actually, the name on the Five Colors Edict was not me, but my father. It was just because he died twenty years ago. That name became me. It was a change in exchange for my father's death. Since it was not my thing, why should I care?"
Hua Fan said: "Did your father... also died twenty years ago?"
"Yes. Like Shangguan Jinnian, he died in that disaster. However, the sword that killed him came from behind." Yan Honglei said.
Huabian didn't ask too much. This must be another very sad story.
Perhaps it was the moonlight that touched his mind, or perhaps the past few days of watching Hua Fan and Tang Chong evoke his memories of family affection that had already been sleeping. He suddenly wanted to talk about these things to Hua Fan.
"Actually, when he was still alive, I didn't know what he was, and I didn't even think he was a very important person. We lived a difficult life, and we were running for life. Although I didn't know why we ran for life, and why we were the only ones who were chased. I resented him at that time, and always thought that if it weren't for him, Han Mu and I might have been born in a rich and stable family, and we would not have to live such a hard life."
"It was not until later that I realized that the reason why he led us all over the world was not because he wanted the throne or something. On the contrary, he did not want to take over the five-colored edict at all. He did not want to go to Chang'an, nor did he want to be manipulated by the Chang'an families and became a pawn in their hands. But it was because he didn't want to fight for anything and didn't want to sit on the throne, but he was killed instead. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Under the moonlight, Hua Feng saw that Yanhong Tears had shiny tears in his eyes.
"As soon as my father dies, mother... Her Majesty the Queen takes me to Chang'an. As soon as my father dies, the name on the Five Colors Edict naturally becomes me. Since my father cannot sit on the throne, let me change it." Yan Honglei's voice was a little hoarse. It was not until a month ago that he truly made up his mind to leave Chang'an, that is, to betray his mother.
"Once, I thought about obeying my mother's wishes, so I tried hard to take the Five Colors Edict from your hand and handed it to her. I thought that as long as I went against my heart alone, there would be many people who didn't have to think of me as tired as I was. But I found that I was so wrong more and more... "
Yanhonglei seemed to feel that she had destroyed her chic image that had always been in front of Hua Feng, so she raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
"Maybe it's not as complicated as I said, just because my father's blood was flowing in my blood vessels, so I am like him, not suitable for the throne at all, and I don't want to obey any destiny at all."
"Maybe...I'm the same as you." Hua Rong's eyes were filled with tears at some point. "I don't want to follow the destiny of hating people."
Yanhong said, "Actually, I don't hate all of this destiny. For example, destiny has bound me and your destiny. As long as I don't die, you will never be in danger."
Hua Feng's heart was turbulent. Her destiny was bound to the destiny of the Lord of Heaven determined by the Five Colors Edict. Bai Ze was the demon clan who wanted to protect the monarch. Her life was destined to be with the wise ruler of the Five Colors Edict. If the wise ruler is not dead, Bai Ze would not be destroyed. Once, she thought that the person was Shangguan Jinnian. She thought that Shangguan Jinnian was her destiny. That was why she could not escape from his palm no matter what.
But until now, she suddenly realized that the person who was destined to be with her for the rest of her life was actually a smoky and red tears. It turned out that Shangguan Jinnian had never been her destiny. The various entanglements between them were actually just some accumulated accidents. He shouldn't have her, and she shouldn't be trapped by him.
"Actually, don't you think that destiny is not wrong?" Yan Honglei said. "We are the two people who are most destined to be connected."
He put down the sheepskin in his hand. The gem sword had been wiped brightly by him as bright as the moon in the sky. He walked towards her with the sword. Hua Feng then noticed that the five-colored gems on the gem sword were exactly the same as the five-colored edict.
In fact, she should have noticed some clues long ago. His suspicious life experience, his ability to control the demons...
But she didn't notice it. She just treated him as a partner. That's all. She never seemed to think about anything.
