When Liu Xuan heard her elder brother's repressed words, Yuqi Lingkong's delicate body trembled slightly, and she instinctively raised her head and looked at Liu Mingzhi.
Looking at Liu Mingzhi standing side by side with her, Liu Xuan's beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
I have been by my eldest brother's side since I can remember. As I said before, my eldest brother watched me grow up, so why didn't I watch my eldest brother grow up?
Inadvertently, I and my eldest brother have been brothers and sisters for twenty-six years, almost twenty-seven years.
In the past twenty years, it was the first time that I had seen my eldest brother look so melancholy and emotional, and it was also the first time that I had heard such a depressed tone.
In the years since he left his side to travel around the world, Big Brother, he has experienced things that he cannot understand.
In places that he can't see and can't reach, what kind of pressure is he bearing on his body?
Liu Xuan asked herself in her mind, and her expression became a little lower.
"Brother, you...you...are you okay?"
When Liu Mingzhi heard the younger sister's worried words, he looked sideways at her. Seeing the obvious worry in the younger sister's eyes, Liu Mingzhi did not answer her question, but his body trembled slightly. The whole body's true energy surged and shot towards the night sky in the direction of the palace.
"Come with brother."
When Liu Xuan saw her elder brother's sharp figure flying through the air like a flying sword, the hesitation on her pretty face disappeared in a flash, and she immediately circulated the majestic innate true energy in her veins, shooting towards her like a meteor. He chased after Liu Mingzhi, who was already a hundred feet away.
The brother and sister relied on their incomparable deep energy to leap towards the palace like ghosts, their ethereal figures under the hazy night sky.
About half a cup of tea later, the figures of the brother and sister appeared above the tall tower at the palace gate.
Liu Xuan looked at her elder brother who had already stopped under the night sky. She hurriedly circulated the zhenqi in her body and stopped next to Liu Mingzhi. She looked towards him with doubts in her light eyes.
"Brother?"
Liu Mingzhi lowered his head and glanced at the still brightly lit city tower below, as well as the streets and houses in the distance outside the palace gate, and fell downwards as lightly as a feather.
"Go down."
"good."
Although Liu Xuan was a little confused, she still followed her elder brother and flew down to the top of the tower.
Just as the two brothers and sisters landed on the tower for a few breaths, a harsh gong sound suddenly sounded on the palace wall below.
"There are assassins."
"The bold traitor who dares to break into the palace privately is punishable by death!"
"The gunman is ready."
"Archers prepare."
"Everyone lined up to meet the enemy, gradually surrounded the tower, and immediately opened fire at the slightest movement."
"Here comes someone, please go and ring the bell as a warning."
Liu Mingzhi listened to the noisy but not chaotic shouts below the city tower, and immediately turned around and looked straight at the imperial soldiers on the palace wall who were approaching the city tower in full swing.
"Is the Forbidden Army general on the city wall Cao Qing?"
The Forbidden Army general Cao Qing, who was commanding his soldiers to surround the city tower, trembled when he heard Young Master Liu's inquiry, and looked towards the top of the city tower with an expression of surprise and uncertainty.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? Your Majesty, is that you above?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing Mr. Liu's familiar response, Cao Qing immediately raised his right hand and shouted loudly.
"All officers and men must obey orders and stop action immediately."
When the Forbidden Army officers and soldiers performing their respective duties on the palace wall heard Cao Qing's words, they immediately stopped, turned and looked towards the top of the city tower.
Although he had received a response from Master Liu, the vigilance on Cao Qing's face still did not fade away.
Cao Qing stared at the two brothers and sisters on the tower for a while, then clasped his hands and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I need to set off a fire meteor to confirm your identity. I hope your Majesty will forgive me for being rude."
"It doesn't matter."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live."
"Someone is coming."
"Commander."
"fire star."
"As commanded."
Cao Qing took the bolide from the Forbidden Army soldiers, bent his bow and shot it into the night sky.
A stream of light flew towards the night sky, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded with a bang under the moonlit night sky. A dazzling light instantly illuminated dozens of steps around the palace wall, and the tower above the tower Brother and sister Liu Mingzhi directly revealed each other's true colors in Lushan under the bright light.
The moment Cao Qing fired the fireball, he hurriedly raised his head and stared at the two figures on the tower.
When the brother and sister Liu Mingzhi revealed their true faces under the illumination of the bolide, Cao Qing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down on one knee with his bow and arrow in hand.
"Cao Qing, the commander of the imperial army, comes to see your majesty. Long live, long live."
"We see your majesty, long live long live long live."
"All officers and men are exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You can continue patrolling. There is no need to disturb me. I will leave soon."
"Yes, we obey."
In an instant, the Imperial Army soldiers on the palace wall dispersed step by step.
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze and looked at the brightly lit palaces and pavilions in the palace with a calm expression.
"Xuan'er."
"Um?"
"What do you think of the palace in front of us?"
"It's majestic, tall and majestic. One glance at it can't help but make you feel heroic, and a feeling of looking down on the world arises spontaneously."
"Yes! It's majestic, tall, and majestic. It makes people feel heroic and heroic.
Then do you know why eldest brother took your sisters-in-law and children to move out of the palace and return to our home? "
"Xuan'er doesn't know, please let me know."
"Because it is too tall. It is so tall that it can blind a person's eyes. It is so tall that it can easily make people unable to see clearly the sufferings of people's livelihood in the world. It is so tall that it can make people lose their true nature inadvertently."
"Ah? Brother, what kind of explanation is this?"
"Xuan'er, this is not an explanation, but a fact.
The palace is not just a majestic high-rise building, nor is it just a gorgeous pavilion.
Rather, it represents rights, a supreme right, a right that makes people lose themselves and lose their nature.
There are more than tens of millions of chairs in the world, but why do countless people want to sit on the chair in the Qinzheng Palace? Because sitting on that chair can control the power of life and death, and have the power of supreme authority.
This is the real reason why eldest brother moved out of the palace, because eldest brother I don't want to lose my mind by that chair.
I don’t want to lose myself in this palace that represents power. "
"This...this...Xuan'er seems to understand something, but she still feels a little unclear."
"You won't understand. If you haven't sat in that chair, you will never understand my brother's mood.
Do you know why my eldest brother seldom wears dragon robes and crowns after he moved his family out of the palace? "
"Little sister...little sister should ask big brother for advice."
"Because the dragon robe can lose one's mind more than that chair."
"Big brother doesn't live in the palace and wears dragon robes. I just want to remind myself all the time that I am just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who cannot escape from the world.
Wearing the dragon robe on the body and the crown on the top is really exciting, and one can't help but feel excited.
It's a kind of excitement that you can't control at all and arises spontaneously from your heart.
The eldest brother is afraid that he has lived in the palace for too long and will gradually be unable to get out. He is also afraid that he has worn the dragon robe for too long and that he will gradually be unable to take it off.
Xuan'er, people at the top of the mountain cannot hear the shouts of people at the bottom of the mountain.
Big brother is really afraid that one day I will no longer recognize myself.
Brother, what I’m talking about is the poison of power.
That's why the eldest brother wanders between the palace and outside the palace. I act like this to remind myself at all times not to let power erode my true heart.
Brother, I have gone through that step myself, and I know how difficult it is to take that step.
To say it was difficult would be an understatement.
However, not everyone is a big brother.
Not everyone can get out of the confinement of rights, and not everyone can keep from losing their true nature.
Once a person gets stuck in something, it is extremely difficult to get out.
Can you understand your brother's difficulties? Can you understand your elder brother's difficulties? "
