White horse and black clothes, walking slowly on the night road.
Sitting sideways on the white horse, drinking wine with his chin raised, facing the evening breeze, Yao Huan smacked his lips contentedly, feeling very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the severed Zhang Suohao beside him, this scene would definitely be very artistic.
Now Yao Huan only feels extremely happy in his heart, even more happy than when he was ordered to deal with the rebels in the Han Dynasty camp. Even the ordinary rice wine in the pot is now mellow and delicious, making people intoxicated.
As the godson of the black monk Yao Guangxiao, he knows very well what kind of person his father is. Emperor Taizong's Battle of Jingnan was one of the most difficult battles in history. Without Yao Guangxiao's almost monstrous strategy, Emperor Taizong might not have been able to sit on the throne.
Therefore, since Yao Huan can remember, he has been constantly studying his father's every move, studying the books left by his father, and discussing various knowledge with him.
As an orphan adopted by Yao Guangxiao on the battlefield, Yao Huan seemed to be adhering to God's will and inherited Yao Guangxiao's "monster talent". When he was twenty years old, Yao Guangxiao died of illness, and Yao Huan became "Yao Guangxiao's second".
Does he resist?
No, not at all.
For a talent like Yao Huan, being called "second" may be derogatory. But if Yao Guangxiao is second, then Yao Huan will accept it happily, and even feel ashamed of it. In his eyes, his father Yao Guangxiao cannot be called a hero. He is a genius who controls the general trend of the world. As for himself, he is far from enough.
In Yao Huan's mind, what his father did was to put a Ming Dynasty that would have slipped into the abyss into Taizong's hands, and stop the Ming Dynasty before the abyss.
The world didn't understand why his father would help Yan King Zhu Di rebel, but his father knew that Emperor Jianwen was far inferior to Taizong in both civil and military character. If this person is allowed to control the Ming Dynasty, sooner or later the barbarians such as Wala will defeat the Ming Dynasty.
His father's achievements were even second only to Taizu's. In Yao Huan's eyes, even if he quelled the rebellion of the Han Dynasty and prevented the Zhu family from fighting with blood relatives, it would not be enough. Because even without himself, Emperor Hong Xi's wisdom and strategy could easily control the King of Han, so Yao Huan had to do more than just this.
"My heart is towards the bright moon, and the bright moon shines on my heart~"
Humming a little tune, Yao Huan was in a very happy mood at this time, because he finally found a chance to get close to his father. And the moment he stepped into the official road and left Beiliang, he caught a glimpse of green from the corner of his eye.
The crazy trees seemed to have fallen into extreme anger, and the wild flowers began to spread their strong fragrance. In an instant, Yao Huan was shocked to find that everything in front of him had become his enemy.
"Won't you struggle?"
Among the flowers, a beautiful woman wearing a lake green skirt slowly walked out of the natural red carpet. Looking at Yao Huan who was wrapped in thick and ferocious trees and unable to move, she asked indifferently:
"I've struggled, why don't you give it a try?"
"It's you..."
The moment he saw the woman's appearance, Yao Huan's pupils tightened, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock. Soon, a touch of bitterness appeared on Yao Huan's face.
"Lord of all spirits..."
Shaking his head, Yao Huan smiled bitterly and said: "Fairy Taoyao, if you want to kill me, let alone struggling, my ability to speak is all a gift from you."
"Ah."
With a face as cold as frost, Tao Yao smiled coldly, not hiding the murderous intent in her eyes. She looked at Yao Huan, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if there were traces of light flowing:
"Yao Huan, you should never do this, you just want to take my only relative away from me."
Every step that Tao Yaoxiu takes lightly, there is a light like a peach blossom falling into the mortal world. She walked up to Yao Huan, raised her jade hand slightly, and a fallen leaf floated on Yao Huan's neck.
This fallen leaf, which was once regarded as nothing by people, has now become Yao Huan's destiny.
Fallen leaves are broken, and destiny is solved.
"Fairy Taoyao, you don't understand..."
Yao Huan could feel that the fallen leaves between his neck were connected to his fate. As long as Tao Yao thought about it, he would die suddenly and without any reason. However, he did not beg for mercy, but said slowly with an apologetic smile:
"Young Master Zhou is like a swimming dragon, you can't trap him..."
"Trapped?"
Taoyao, who smiled like frost, shook her head gently, and then she tapped the fallen leaves with her fingers. Suddenly, Yao Huan felt that the meridians all over his body began to twist. Just like the lines on the fallen leaves, they are constantly trembling.
"Back then, I disintegrated my immortal body and gave all my souls to the people of the world, just so that I could take Zhou Li away and spend the rest of my life with him. I kept my promise, but what about you?!"
Spreading out her delicate palms, Tao Yao's beautiful face showed anger, and whispered:
"If it hadn't been for Mr. Huang's action, I would have had to watch my only relative being killed by these evil beasts when my immortal body was shattered back then! You should be grateful to Mr. Huang, if he hadn't saved his life Next Week Li, your disgusting court has long been reduced to a living hell! This world doesn’t need a rotten and smelly Ming Dynasty!”
"you···"
Yao Huan was stunned, and then he closed his mouth with a complicated expression. He knew that the words spoken by the woman in front of him were neither exaggerated nor aimless.
But it is a piece of advice that may very well become reality.
There are only a few people who know Taoyao's secrets, and even he, who was once the center of the court, has no way of knowing. If Yao Huan knew that Zhou Taoyao was behind Zhou Li, not to mention threatening him to hand over Zhang Suohao, even if Zhou Li asked him to kneel down and bark like a dog, Yao Huan would not hesitate for a moment.
Because Zhou Taoyao could really turn the Ming Dynasty into a purgatory.
Only now did he understand that if it weren't for Huang Lao's three arrows, as Tao Yao said, the Ming Dynasty would have been littered with corpses, or in other words, the Ming Dynasty would not exist.
At this time, Yao Huan only felt happy in his heart, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had just escaped from the gate of hell.
Yao Huan didn't care about his own life or death, but what he cared about was that if it weren't for Mr. Huang, the people above the court, including himself, a group of smug fools who only knew how to weigh the pros and cons, would have caused a huge disaster.
Since ancient times, the country has been misled by so many conceited scholars.
Yao Huan now only feels that he is ignorant and ridiculous. When the prime minister forced Zhou Li to commit suicide, the prince drew his sword and wanted to save Zhou Li. However, he believed that "the power of the court is irreversible, and it is necessary to rely on the power of the prime minister to establish the crown prince's position", so he forcibly suppressed the prince's sword and prevented him from interfering with the prime minister.
It seems now that I was hopelessly stupid at that time. Even without his own plan, Emperor Hongxi would pass the throne to the prince, but his own obstruction deprived the future Mingjun of his most powerful help, and also caused the Ming Dynasty to lose its most relaxed and brilliant future.
Beyond his father?
In the trance of life and death, Yao Huan seemed to see a monk in black clothes. He looked at himself and said the words that Yao Huan once despised the most:
"Huan'er, you have a gloomy mind and are good at weighing pros and cons. Although you are smart, you are feminine and unable to bear great responsibilities. The world is always fair. You used your power to calculate for a while, but you will eventually be crushed by the general trend. In this world, there are only those who are honest and upright. Only by being domineering can a peaceful and prosperous world be achieved.”
Father, you are right.
Yao Huan, whose nerves were beginning to collapse, smiled bitterly, his mouth full of the taste of rust. He understood that if his father had been here, the prince's sword would have been placed on the prime minister's neck, and Zhou Li would have had a drink with him when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, instead of scheming against each other.
But
I can't die yet.
You have to fight for half a point to survive.
Not for myself, but for Daming to survive.
"Yao Huan, I didn't go to the capital to kill your prime minister, and then tied your emperor to the city gate. It's all because I still have Zhou Li with me, and I don't want to violate the rules of the past. Promise!"
The leaf was slowly clenched tightly by Tao Yao, and a pain from the soul kept twisting Yao Huan's nerves. But even so, he still remained awake, sweating profusely and looking pale.
"Now, you want the only person I love to step into your disgusting capital and be involved in your tricks. Yao Huan, you are seeking your own death."
At this time, Yao Huan felt that every inch of his nerves began to scream crazily, as if in the next second, his body would be shattered like a fallen leaf.
Think, think quickly.
what to do? How can I do? !
He will die, he will really die. If he dies, his plan to support the country will be in vain, and Ming Dynasty's survival will also be forged.
"Zhou Li...will be happy..."
Trembling, he squeezed out the last words from his throat. Yao Huan kept knocking his upper teeth against his lower teeth and said with all his strength:
"He...has...alive...the capital...has a way to survive"
Zhou Li.
The moment she heard the name, the crazy killing intent in Taoyao's eyes dimmed a little. She blinked, slowly opened her palms, and the wrinkled leaf slowly fell to the ground.
Plop.
He rolled over and fell hard to the ground. Yao Huan gasped for air, covering his heart with lingering fear, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"I will ask Zhou Li."
As if looking at an ant, Taoyao said indifferently:
"If he wants to go to the capital voluntarily, you will take your life with him."
"But if you commit acts of robbery, seduction and deception..."
The fallen leaf seemed to have spirituality, floating into Taoyao's long sleeves. She turned around and left her last words without emotion.
"The Yao family can completely disappear from this world."
This is not a threat.
Yao Huan, who was lying on the ground, smiled bitterly.
This is to inform.
I sprained my foot, so I went to the hospital and was told that everything was fine.
I came out to have a meal in front of the hospital.
I ate some Xisanxian from Xijiade.
Very delicious, dipped in vinegar and soy sauce.
After finishing the dumplings, I felt like my legs were fine, so I thought about buying two skewers to satisfy my craving.
Go home and run around.
Even though I ran away, I still felt nauseous, with vomiting and diarrhea.
Hold on for two chapters
Brother, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow.
Then do the math
Did someone put a spell on me?
I suspect it's the Kos parasite.
