It was clearly daytime, but Greenbelt City was as dark as night, as if a giant beast was dormant in the eternal darkness.
Looking up, every place is desolate and dead. The rows of shops are all hung with proof-making notices. The usually bustling Goulan Restaurant does not even have lights or candles lit.
If you look at this city from above, you will find that this huge city is empty of all the criss-crossing roads.
The only thing that is worth comforting is that it does not make people think that this is a dead city, but the candlelight shining out from thousands of households.
The people in the city only thought that a blizzard was coming, but they didn't know that a natural disaster was brewing above their heads in the very high sky. Maybe it would overturn and suppress them in a while.
In Greenbelt City, which was deserted by thousands of people, a dim and uncertain fire appeared on the dark streets, as well as a lone figure.
A young man with white hair, holding a torch for lighting, walked slowly on the main road in the city.
The majestic sea of evil clouds has brought huge oppression to this city. The wind suddenly rose, and the sound was shrill and shrill, like a woman's miserable scream, which was extremely frightening.
And the white-haired figure was always strolling around, as if revisiting his old place.
He slowly came to an exquisite lotus pond. Under the dim and uncertain firelight, he could vaguely see the gurgling spring water gurgling out of the stone. The sound of the wind calmed down slightly, and the sound of the clear spring could also be vaguely heard. He squatted down, brought the torch closer, and looked at the clear and gushing spring water for a while. After a while, he stood up and walked slowly to the Shuixin Pavilion in the center of the lake.
The man gently stretched out his hand, touched the rough pillars with peeling red paint, and murmured to himself: "Next summer, the lotus will bloom again, right? In the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was fifteen, you told me that you liked the fragrance of lotus. , I like the new lotuses blooming among the green waves, and the moving orioles on the flowers. I promised you at that time that I would accompany you here to enjoy the lotuses, so I have been so afraid these years, afraid that I will not be able to make it in time, afraid that you will not be able to wait. .”
He sat on the railing beside the beautiful lady, lost in thought.
More than ten years ago, this place was just a wasteland with no major construction projects and no green belt city that stands tall today.
One summer was particularly hot. A little boy came here with his mother to escape the summer heat and enjoy the lotuses. They lived in a temporary palace. He thought that enjoying the lotus flowers, eating lotus seed soup and hiding in the quiet palace to escape the summer heat, his life would be ordinary. Lightly, the hot and unbearable summer will pass away.
But one day, after waking up from a nap, the little boy found that his mother was missing. No one answered his calls, so he searched everywhere anxiously, and finally ran to Shuixin Pavilion.
The heavy steps suddenly stopped, and before he entered Shuixin Pavilion, he was stunned on the spot.
That was a scene he would never forget.
The wind and smoke are all pure, the Tianshan Mountains are the same color, the breeze gently blows the lotus flowers ten miles away, the water surface is clear and round, and the ripples are swaying. In the Shuixin Pavilion, the light pink gauze curtain was lightly fluttered, and a little girl sat obediently next to her mother. Her mother gently rubbed her little head, one big and one small, without saying a word, just quietly looking at the lotus in the distance.
In the quiet afternoon, after waking up from sleep, the breeze blows in Shuixin Pavilion and the fragrance of lotus floats. Everything is so beautiful.
Even though the little boy had grown up later, this beautiful picture from his childhood would still softly ripple in his heart.
After that, the days in that summer palace were no longer dull, but always very interesting. The joy of two little children, simple and interesting. In the summer of that year, there was always childish laughter and laughter echoing in the palace.
After midsummer, you always have to go back to the palace. In the first few days, the little boy didn't think about food and tea, and the little girl always had tears in her eyes. She was sentimental and sad about parting since ancient times, not to mention that they were still two young minds.
But later, the little boy realized that his mother also wanted to take the little girl back to the palace. On the day he returned to the palace, the little boy learned the identity of the little girl from his mother, and at that moment he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the little girl was often a little cautious and even a little humble. It turned out that she was his little maid.
In the years after returning to the palace, the little boy rarely saw the little girl. Only occasionally, his mother would bring her.
This white-haired young man who had lived here as a child slowly stretched out a hand and gently touched the pillars of Shuixin Pavilion. The vermilion that had been painted in the past had long since peeled off. He felt the roughness of the pillars. Experience the precipitation of time carefully.
Guiliu gently closed his eyes, as if what he saw in front of him was not darkness, but the stunning picture that was imprinted in his heart.
After more than ten years of dreaming, I finally returned to my old place, but I felt peaceful inside.
He had waited too long for this day, but fortunately, it was not too late.
This white-haired young man wearing a scarlet snow robe with golden eyes slowly walked towards the city lord's mansion.
The evil spirit surges and the sea of clouds droops.
Suddenly, a breeze came from heaven and earth, poured into the Green Belt City, and blew open the tall vermilion gate.
A golden figure rushed to the high hall in just a moment, lifted up the city lord in purple clothes and jade crown, held his head down, and smashed him to the ground.
Smoke and dust filled the air, the ground was cracked, and the sound was terrifying.
With golden eyes, he smiled coldly, "Do you remember me?"
The city lord staggered up and stood up. When he saw those unique eyes clearly, he suddenly woke up and quickly stepped back, intending to escape directly.
A golden stream of light fell from the sky and hit the city lord hard.
This sixth-grade great perfection master who was expected to reach the upper third-grade was completely destroyed.
The beautiful maid serving wine, whose true identity was a secret agent of the Da Feng Dynasty, stepped over the people around her in one step, and with a poisoned dagger in her sleeve, she took the opportunity to strike at the white-haired man's vitals.
"roll!"
The man roared, and the sword on his waist rose from its scabbard. After throwing out a majestic sword energy, the spy was cut in half and his body was cut in half.
"Come on!" The city lord's eyes were about to burst.
Gui Liu twisted his wrist backwards and slashed horizontally in an instant, which was exactly the same as the bearded swordsman using the side hat sword technique. But this sword is more divine and powerful.
After one blow, the fierce offensive was gone. Dozens of people were knocked away and thrown out, leaving more than a dozen shocking pools of blood on the wall.
Guiliu grabbed his neck and smiled ferociously, "Come on! Keep threatening me! Keep restraining me!"
The city lord struggled to speak out, and sneered angrily, "When you died prematurely, your mother transferred all the luck of the Jing Dynasty to you at all costs, but in the end, you are just a prodigal who consumes the country's wealth and dominates!"
"Come! Kill me! Then Guo Zuo will decline, and the Jing Dynasty will die within four generations!" The city lord's eyes were about to split, and he roared.
Guiliu's face was expressionless, "Back then, the Lu family was at the height of its power, comparable to the royal relatives. There were rumors and prophecies in the court that the Lu family were the sons of rebellious ministers and traitors, and they would definitely cause trouble in the future. The court had not yet made a final decision, and you were being hunted down at that time. , urgently needed to seek refuge with the imperial court for protection, so he massacred the whole family with the surname Lu without discerning the authenticity of the matter, and even gave a very beautiful little girl of the Lu family to my mother. In the end, you got what you wanted, and the imperial court helped you settle the pursuit. You no longer need to live in exile, but you have suddenly become the city lord of Green Belt City in the capital city, and the entire city is your private fief."
Guiliu suddenly narrowed his eyes, "I don't care whether the Lu family is a traitor or not. I don't care whether the court is at fault. Even if my mother indulged you back then, I could turn a blind eye."
A cold murderous intent quietly filled the air.
"But you should never use the people around me to hold me back."
The city lord with a ferocious and painful expression suddenly widened his eyes, shocked and stunned, with disbelief on his face, "How is this possible? The queen already knew it?!"
"Even though you poisoned the little girl, my mother still let you go and made you a fiefdom emperor without any future worries. Do you know why?"
Guiliu breathed out gently and said something that he had not said for more than ten years.
"I know that many people in this world want me to die."
"This includes you. When you gave the little girl to my mother, you naturally thought that she would become my maid, so you poisoned her. You know that if I liked her very much, I would watch her die from the poison with my own eyes. , he will definitely lose his mind and go crazy, the avenue will collapse, and even if he has the luck of the dynasty, he will be nothing more than a useless person in the end."
"You really almost succeeded. In the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was fifteen years old, I stayed on the bed and watched her vomit blood. I saw my mother was helpless. I saw the doctor in the room with their heads lowered, looking at her bleak smile. I thought that was the face before death. At that moment, I was really going crazy. I wished I could exchange my life for hers. I could not wait to find you instantly and cut you into pieces."
"Many people in this world want me to die. They feel that I am not worthy of inheriting the emperor's inheritance and becoming the common leader of the world in the future. If they want to kill me, no problem, they can come. Even if they come, even if there are thousands of people, I will It doesn’t matter. But people like you use despicable means to try to restrain me. If you have relatives, I would hate to kill your whole family."
Guiliu exerted great force, embedding the entire body of the city lord into the stone wall.
The roar of pain echoed through the hall for a long time.
"Do you know how I have lived these years? I have to get up every night to secretly see her. I am afraid that you will take away her life casually. For more than ten years, I have nightmares every night. Every time I can dream of her bleak smile before she died."
"I begged my father, my mother, the Imperial Master, and countless people. I begged them to kill you, but I always got only one answer. You secretly sought refuge with Dafeng and kept a low profile for more than ten years. , I have already found out all the people who can target you. Since no one can help me, well, I will do it myself. You think that if I am defeated on the outside and defeated on the inside, it will be difficult for me to cause serious trouble. If I don’t How can I let you down your guard like this? My mother said that when I enter the rank, I will be able to use my luck and kill you. So after I enter the rank, the first person I kill will be you."
The city lord laughed angrily and said, "You don't want the great power of the world? Just for a cheap slave?"
"Say it fucking again! Say it again!!"
One hand violently pinched his head, and the five fingers were sunken like aquiline hooks, blurring the flesh and blood.
The city lord's face was ferocious, blood was flowing from his orifices, and he suddenly felt extremely happy. He looked at this man who was almost possessed with a sneer, revealing his scarlet teeth.
Gui Liu took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he regained his composure.
"Do you think I'm still the child who almost went crazy? I've spent more than ten years trying to kill you, and my state of mind has long since become perfect."
Gui Liu's five fingers were sunk and he used force to pull out a piece of white flesh from the city lord's head. The other hand strangled his neck tightly, preventing him from making any sound.
It was a horrifying face.
This white-haired young man finally showed his devilish side.
"My four maids have blocked countless open and secret arrows for me, their hands have been stained with blood countless times, they have been seriously injured countless times, they have even fallen into death countless times, and they have echoed in the gates of hell countless times. So this time I leave the palace, I have to do the first thing One thing is to seek revenge on those people. They want me dead, so they don’t have to risk their lives to enter the palace. I, Geiliu, go there in person and stand in front of them. As long as I can kill one person, I can make up for the guilt in my heart a little bit. . If I can kill them all, they can stay by my side obediently and be the maids with red sleeves that add fragrance, and they no longer need to be dead soldiers."
"You almost killed my maid Taozhi several times, so this time when we leave the city, I will be the first to kill you."
"Don't worry, you won't be too lonely walking on Huangquan Road. After you die, someone will go down to accompany you soon."
With a slight flick of Gui Liu, the man in purple clothes and jade crown flew out like a kite with a broken string, and hit the main road in the city hard, dying on the spot.
"I haven't forgotten anything, but some things are only suitable for collection. You can't say or think about them, but you can't forget them either."
This golden-eyed man with astonishing imperial aura walked slowly outside.
The wind and rain are like darkness.
On the main road in the city, armored bee pupae were densely packed, with thousands of people rushing in like a frenzied wave.
As far as the eye can see, the whole city is full of enemies.
Guiliu was not in a hurry to break the formation and slowly closed his eyes.
Although there are thousands of people, I will go.
