Chapter 651: Some people come from far away and some go to far away
After leaving the city, Emperor Liang did not rush out of the city, but walked slowly in the city.
Emperor Liang had very complicated feelings about this most majestic city in the world. He was born here, spent his youth here, and then went to the fiefdom. When he came back, everything was different.
Now that he has been in the divine capital for more than ten years, he has done a lot for this world, and now he is still a little reluctant to stay away from this place.
In the early years before he became a king or a vassal, he visited many places in the divine capital. At that time, he had that girl with eyebrows as tall as a distant mountain beside him. The two of them walked around and saw almost the entire divine capital.
.
Later, he entered the divine capital. Due to his status, the number of trips out of the imperial city was limited, so he never took a closer look at the city.
"Live in the city, or be stuck in the city?"
Emperor Liang muttered to himself.
Soon Emperor Liang came to a rouge shop, stopped at the door, and watched a couple walking into the rouge shop hand in hand, talking and laughing. Emperor Liang looked at this scene, smiling and saying nothing.
In an instant, he probably remembered that when he was still a teenager, he and the girl who had not married him yet came to this rouge shop for the first time. Originally, Emperor Liang wanted to buy her a box of rouge.
Who would have known that the woman who was born in the General's Palace was not interested in this at all, and ended up buying a very ordinary wooden hairpin from a jewelry store next to Rouge Shop.
It was just that wooden hairpin. From then on, she would wear it on her head in almost all major ceremonies in the Liang Dynasty that required the Queen to attend.
Emperor Liang looked away and looked at the rouge shop. The jewelry shop was still there.
After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Liang walked over. The front of the jewelry shop was deserted, in stark contrast to the rouge shop next to it.
Emperor Liang stepped inside, and there was only an old shopkeeper with gray hair on the counter.
Seeing Emperor Liang walking in, the old shopkeeper moved his head, then blinked his cloudy eyes, "What do you want to buy, sir?"
Emperor Liang took a look and asked, "Do you have a wooden hairpin?"
There was a pile of jewelry on the counter in front of the old shopkeeper, including gold and silver, but the styles were a bit old-fashioned, and they seemed to be styles that were only popular a few years ago.
The Capital of Gods, the most majestic city in the world, changes all the time, and the styles of clothes and attire of ladies will not last long.
So it makes sense that no one cares about the jewelry in this jewelry shop.
The old shopkeeper rubbed his head in embarrassment, "Sir, this shop stopped selling wooden hairpins many years ago."
"Um?"
Emperor Liang glanced at the old shopkeeper in front of him.
The old shopkeeper smiled apologetically.
Emperor Liang said: "Many years ago, I took my wife to this shop and bought a wooden hairpin. She still wore it for many years."
The old shopkeeper was startled, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "The guest's wife is very lucky. The wooden hairpins in our shop were sold to the palace and were worn by the Queen. Later, after the incident came out, I don't know.
How many people spend a lot of money to buy a wooden hairpin in a small shop."
"In that case, why didn't you sell it again? What did the people from the palace say?"
Emperor Liang spoke patiently, showing no emotion.
The old shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, smiled and shook his head and said: "Not really, I just thought that since the Queen is wearing the shop's wooden hairpin, if the shop sells this thing, it would be somewhat disrespectful to the Queen.
When you are a noble person, you will definitely not want others to have the same thing."
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "She doesn't care about this."
"Your Majesty, you don't mean this... Hey, why do you look so familiar..."
The light in the jewelry shop was already dim, and the old shopkeeper's eyes were not as good as before. He was too far away to see clearly before, but now he walked out of the counter and was closer, and he could clearly see Emperor Liang in front of him.
"You are... Your Majesty..."
The old shopkeeper was startled, then tremblingly knelt down.
Knowing that the woman who chose Mu Chai here became the queen, naturally she also knew that the young man accompanying her is now
Emperor Liang.
Over the years, he has met countless people in this jewelry shop, but how could he forget His Majesty and the Queen that he met that day.
"Pingshen."
Emperor Liang stretched out his hand to support the old shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "I'm so weathered, I'm glad you still remember me."
The old shopkeeper's face was full of excitement, "His Majesty Long Yan, how can ordinary people forget it?"
Emperor Liang laughed it off.
"Your Majesty, the common people heard that something happened in the Imperial City before. Are you... okay?"
The old shopkeeper was still frightened, there were many rumors in the city, and he heard many stories.
Emperor Liang shook his head and said: "No problem."
"Your Majesty, you must take care of your dragon body. How many people in our country are pointing at Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, we can't live our lives."
The old shopkeeper looked sincere.
Emperor Liang asked: "What impact will replacing someone on the throne have on you?"
"Your Majesty, how can you say that? We, the common people, have all seen what your Majesty has done over the years. In the whole world... no, in the whole world, who doesn't think of your Majesty?"
The old shopkeeper waved his hand, "Who dares to say that His Majesty is not good at all? Common people will give him a few punches no matter what."
Emperor Liang laughed it off.
The old shopkeeper suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I have been forgetting."
As he spoke, he hurried to the counter and dug out a wooden box covered with dust in the corner. After blowing on it, he picked it up and put it on the counter. He said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, when you
When I came here with the Queen, the wooden hairpins were actually a pair, but the common people had only carved one, and the remaining one was not yet finished. After the other one was carved, I realized that it was His Majesty and the Queen.
So I have kept it. It is fate that Your Majesty is here today. Why don't Your Majesty take this wooden hairpin away?"
Emperor Liang glanced at the wooden hairpin, and it was indeed the same as before. He reached out, picked it up, untied his bun, and inserted the wooden hairpin into it.
The old shopkeeper had already started sobbing.
Emperor Liang asked: "Why is this so?"
"Your Majesty was a heroic young man back then, but now he has such gray hair..."
The old shopkeeper's eyes were red, and he looked like he was crying.
Emperor Liang smiled and shook his head, "Why are you crying? The days will get better and better in the future."
The old shopkeeper kept wiping his tears.
"Shopkeeper, you won't pay me this time?"
Emperor Liang looked at the old shopkeeper in front of him.
The old shopkeeper choked up and said: "If your Majesty really wants to give you money, the common people will be killed."
Emperor Liang didn't say anything, turned around and left.
The old shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"a place far away."
Emperor Liang just looked into the distance.
…
…
After walking out of the jewelry shop, Emperor Liang saw a half-year-old boy at the end of the long street. The boy repeatedly asked passers-by on the street, but no one paid him any attention. Until the boy came here and said seriously: "
Uncle, I want to ask you something."
Emperor Liang looked at the young man and said with a smile, "What?"
"Uncle, do you know where Commander Chen is?"
The half-grown boy looked at Emperor Liang seriously and sincerely.
"What are you doing with him?"
Emperor Liang looked at the young man.
"I want to take him as my teacher."
The young man said seriously: "I came from a very far away place, but I just can't find him."
Emperor Liang smiled and rubbed the young man's head, "If you keep walking from here, you will see a lake. If you keep walking along the lake, you will see a young man in black clothes with a knife. That's what you want.
The person you are looking for."
The young man had no doubts and nodded seriously, thanking him.
"May I have your name?"
Emperor Liang suddenly spoke.
"He Liang, where are you, uncle?"
The young man looked at Emperor Liang, but received no response, so he thanked him seriously again.
Emperor Liang didn't say anything, he just watched the young man walking quickly forward.
He stood there, looking at the young man's back, as if looking at his own past.
…
…
The young man named He Liang kept walking forward, and as expected, he soon saw a lake. He walked along the lakeside, and soon a building appeared in front of him.
He Liang stood there, a little at a loss.
More confused.
Until not long after, a man and woman came from the lakeside. The woman was very good-looking, as if she had stepped out of a painting, and the young man happened to be wearing a black shirt and carrying a knife.
He Liang quickly walked up to the young man and said excitedly: "It's you!"
Chen Chao looked at the young man in front of him and remained silent.
The two people had met before, at the ferry at the junction of Bailu Prefecture and Huanglong Prefecture. At that time, the young man was anxious to get off the boat and bumped into Chen Chao.
Now we actually meet again in the capital of God.
It sounds like fate.
He Liang said very seriously: "I want to become your teacher."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Where did you come from, silly boy?"
Hearing this, He Liang thought that Chen Chao was asking him where he came from, so he started to talk about his experiences along the way.
He talked for a long time.
Chen Chao listened for a long time.
Until he talked about what happened just now, until now.
Chen Chao glanced into the distance, probably already knowing what was going on, and then remembered what Emperor Liang had said to him in the Queen's Mausoleum.
So he was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "First come to see the master's wife."
…
…
Emperor Liang left the capital city.
Start heading north.
In fact, he had already seen the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Daliang, but this time he went north, and he still looked at it very seriously.
After arriving in Xinliuzhou, it was even slower.
Passing by a county town, Emperor Liang walked along the long street and looked at the common people's courtyards with signs on the doors, thinking a lot.
In the past two hundred years or so of the Liang Dynasty, there were countless wars with the demon clan in the north, and there was no telling how many people died on that northern city.
Died further north.
Under every weed thirty thousand miles north of the desert, there would be nourishment from the flesh and blood of the people of Daliang.
The grasslands in Mobei are rich in water and grass. The more so, the sadder it becomes.
"It seems that the things you do have no meaning and nothing has changed."
A voice suddenly sounded, and a girl in white suddenly appeared beside Emperor Daliang.
It was the girl Chen Chao had seen before, who was in the coffin.
The girl in white said: "There are always wars and bloodshed. It was like this in the past and it seems to be like this in the future."
Emperor Daliang said: "A long time ago, the Demon Emperor came to me and told me that if we join forces with the Demon Clan to destroy Fangwai, we can ensure peace between the human race and the Demon Clan for at least a hundred years."
The girl in white said: "If there is no war for a hundred years, many people will be grateful to you."
"The current peace is meaningless. A hundred years from now, there will still be a war between the human race and the demon race, and the two sides will continue to fight and bleed. By then, there will be no Fangwai, and the human race will be even more passive."
Emperor Liang said: "So the best way is to completely destroy the demon clan."
"Liang Liang alone cannot destroy the demon clan."
Emperor Liang rubbed his head and said a little tiredly: "This is something that will take a lot of time to complete, but I believe it will be done."
"Rely on that boy?"
The woman in white said: "He doesn't even forget to worry.
"
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "That's my nephew. He has the blood of the Chen family. He bleeds the same as me. How can we not do it?"
The woman in white snorted coldly.
"Don't you think highly of him too?"
Emperor Liang said: "If this were not the case, why did you teach him the secret method in the first place?"
The woman in white raised her eyebrows and said, "I just robbed him of a fairy medicine."
Emperor Liang smiled and said nothing.
The woman in white clothes said angrily: "Originally I was very optimistic about him, but you turned him into just like you."
Emperor Liang couldn't stop laughing.
Afterwards, the two of them left New Liuzhou and came to the northern border city.
The woman in white disappeared.
The Emperor of Liang fought at the top of the city.
A group of northern generals knelt on one knee behind His Majesty the Emperor.
When everyone looked at the Emperor of Liang, there was undisguised admiration and enthusiasm in their eyes.
News from the Divine Capital also reached here, and they knew the story that happened there.
The guardian thought for a while, walked behind Emperor Liang, looked at His Majesty the Emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me come?"
Emperor Liang didn't turn around and said with a smile: "Are you going to die?"
The guard was silent. Although he was the strongest warrior in the Liang Dynasty except for the Emperor, he still had no chance of winning against the Demon Emperor.
"But Your Majesty is so..."
The guard wanted to speak but stopped.
Emperor Liang said calmly: "Fight him once, and then you can do the rest."
Guards make silence.
"I have established a prince, and someone will decide important matters. But if there is any disagreement, listen to him."
Emperor Liang smiled and said: "I have temporarily handed over the world to him."
The guardian looked at Emperor Liang and was very hesitant. He had many things to say, but he seemed unable to say them.
"Live well, Xiao Ning."
Emperor Liang said calmly: "I will come back one day. If you die then, I will not go to your grave to drink with you."
Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar name of Xiao Ning, the guard was silent for a long time. Finally, he moved his lips and said softly: "Okay."
Emperor Liang jumped off the city wall and headed north, only the sound could be heard in the distance.
