That night.
Many people still don’t know that it is difficult to see clearly in the long night.
Deep palace.
The cold wind moaned.
In the courtyard.
The eldest prince sat alone, with the wine in his cup cold, playing chess against the moon.
He held the half-black and half-white chess piece, hesitantly, and did not place it on the chessboard for a long time.
"There are assassins! There are assassins!"
Suddenly, the palace was filled with flames. Taking advantage of the sudden darkness, the guards held torches and searched the deep palace, making a great noise.
"Your Highness the Prince!"
A middle-aged man wearing armor came to the eldest prince and knelt down on one knee: "There was an assassin in the palace! I am afraid that the assassin will be harmful to His Highness. Please follow your subordinates to a safe place!"
"Assassin?" The eldest prince's handsome face was calm and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised. He thought for a moment, then said with a gentle smile: "Okay."
A group of elite soldiers had already been waiting at the palace gate, their faces covered with armor, solemn and silent.
"Gaochang."
After taking a few steps, the eldest prince suddenly asked: "How many years have you been with me?"
"Return to Your Highness for a full twenty years."
"Twenty years." The eldest prince's expression became a little more desolate: "I was born in an emperor's family, and my future is bumpy. When I was young, you guarded me. You watched me grow up from a child, and you were closer to my biological father. .”
The man named Gao Chang trembled slightly.
"You... no, you." The eldest prince was surrounded by everyone. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at everyone with cold eyes: "Why did you betray me?"
Wow!
As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, the night got colder!
The fire flickers!
A gust of wind blew.
"Hee hee hee……"
A burst of laughter came from behind Gao Chang's visor.
The laughter that came out was actually the voice of his good brother, the Third Prince.
"My good brother."
Gao Chang hurriedly opened his visor.
On his face, next to the mouth that opened wide in fear, another mouth actually opened.
The third prince's voice suddenly came from the second mouth.
"Everyone has secrets and weaknesses."
The second voice of the third prince came from the face of another elite soldier.
"Gaotang,"
"To get a wife,"
"Children,"
"The fault of not wanting to be known,"
"Pity,"
"ambition,"
The third prince's mouth grew out of each person's body in different places.
The third prince's voice came from all directions.
bass! bass! bass!
Shadows twisted on the wall, and the figures looked longing.
The eldest prince's eyes narrowed: "Even the Secret Service, you..."
The third prince's voice gradually turned cold:
"As long as we are human, we have weaknesses."
"Father, you are no exception."
"My good brother, you are too soft-hearted."
"Shall we give this emperor over to my younger brother? How about that?"
The dark lines spread upward like beads from under the eldest prince's neck, covering his whole body in an instant.
The eldest prince holds a black and white son in his hand, with his long hair flying.
"Do it!"
Gao Chang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Your Highness, what I owe you will be repaid in the next life!"
Han Mang unsheathed his sword, and Gao Chang slashed at the eldest prince's neck with one strike, dividing life and death with one strike.
Ding!
The eldest prince stretched out two fingers, and the chess piece held between his fingertips blocked the sword light and split into two halves with a sound, black and white, like pearls falling to the ground.
"No more! Good brother, your chess pieces are broken!"
The third prince's happy laughter could be heard on the other person's face.
The eldest prince smiled slightly: "You want to be the emperor, has the Red King agreed?"
"The one with the surname Zheng?" The third prince sneered: "My good brother, don't forget, among the three brothers, the one with whom he had the best relationship was my younger brother."
"The second brother is stupid and goes around offending people he shouldn't offend. He should have died long ago. My younger brother helped him."
Hearing this, the eldest prince burst into laughter: "Do you really think that the Red King can't see through the innocent face you have been pretending to be for so many years?"
The third prince smiled indifferently: "He is a smart man. What does it matter if he can see through it or not? You and your second brother were both attacked by 'assassins'. Your father died and passed away to heaven. Who knows where the little baby is left?" He died young. At that time, the only person in the world who is qualified to be emperor is me, my younger brother!" The third prince said in a matter-of-fact tone about a tragedy in which his entire family was massacred.
"That makes sense."
After a moment of silence, the eldest prince smiled slightly, and the chess pieces that split in half on the ground suddenly melted like liquid and merged into the ground. The ground was clearly black and white, and black and white tentacles stretched out from the flowing liquid, squirming enchantingly.
The eldest prince's eyes were calm, and he pinched his fingers together, as if holding a chess piece in the middle, and pressed it down gently.
In an instant, yellow sand rolled, and everyone appeared on the battlefield in an instant.
Behind the eldest prince, thousands of troops gathered in the yellow sand.
"Ten Directions Killing Game."
…
Red Prince's Mansion.
After a sumptuous dinner.
The monk went to take a bath.
Zheng Erniang cleaned up the dishes.
Qing Shisan and Ji Hongou disappeared.
Pei Gaoya returned home and angrily crowned his wife.
The four orchid girls added music to the fun.
Jiang Gaoyi returned to the Disaster Prevention Bureau and stayed up late and worked overtime to process documents.
yard.
A group of children were playing and chasing each other happily in the yard.
Zheng Xiu sat cross-legged under the eaves, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
Lady Anne also sat cross-legged next to Zheng Xiu, also holding a cup of hot tea in her hand.
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
One person and one cat raised their heads and took a sip at the same time.
"So, strangers are attracted to each other, all because 'they' are originally an inseparable whole."
"Yeah meow!"
Lady Anne showed an expression of enjoyment on her face: "So, in the final analysis, the mutual attraction between you and Feng Bei, and the mutual attraction between you and them, are partly due to me."
Zheng Xiu lowered his head and silently looked at the ripples in the tea cup caused by the vibration.
Annie tilted her head slightly, as if she was pondering Zheng Xiu's thoughts.
After a while, she sneered and patted Zheng Xiu on the back: "You know why, I can re-create any person you can think of. Regardless of memory, experience, appearance, personality, it will be exactly the same as before, but I never call this behavior 'resurrection'?"
Zheng Xiu frowned slightly.
"Question two," Annie raised her two paws: "Suppose you can resurrect a person at will, how can you be sure that the person you resurrect is the person you think you are."
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment and was quite speechless: "I never expected that a cat would discuss a philosophical question with me against the background of this world view."
"Meow meow meow!" The orange cat shook his head vigorously: "Wrong, wrong, wrong! Big mistake! This is a theology question."
Zheng Xiu didn't understand: "It's too far off topic. What does this have to do with the mutual attraction between me and Feng Bei?"
"There is a connection." The orange cat grabbed Zheng Xiu's little finger.
Zheng Xiu's little finger is entwined with the "reason" that he and Feng Bei are closely connected to.
Also "coordinates".
Zheng Xiu was thoughtful: "You mean, suppose, I'm just saying suppose, if I recreate a Fengbei with exactly the same appearance, personality, position, and abilities, this 'reason'... will be broken?"
"Although I never value this," the orange cat nodded: "But I have tried it, and it is indeed true."
The sentence "light and fluttering" seems to hide many stories.
Zheng Xiu nodded, feeling relieved.
He looked back at the children. After a meal, Zheng Xiu could confirm that these children did not have bad intentions now. It would be better to say that there is no distinction between "good and bad" in their minds. In Qixin Town, they firstly want to "come out and have a look" and "escape from the constant darkness", and secondly, they want to compete for the "key". Now that the key fell on Zheng Xiu's head, Zheng Xiu became their "father". They went straight to the Chi Prince's Mansion to eat and drink as if nothing had happened.
In their cognition, there is no right or wrong, no good or bad, a pure and innocent heart.
In other words... it's divinity.
This reminded Zheng Xiu again of Anne's words: The so-called good and evil, the so-called right and wrong are nothing but the constraints and shackles imposed by lower beings on their actions. God and his master act without distinction between good and evil, right or wrong.
It's ridiculous to say that these "children" who were born from deputy powers, combined with human desires and the pollution of filth, are closer to "gods" than Zheng Xiu, who is a mixture of human nature and divinity.
But now, these "children" who are extremely close to "gods" blink their innocent eyes, call him daddy, and play in the yard like children. This scene makes Zheng Xiu feel extremely magical.
Annie smiled and said: "This is not a bad thing. Since they recognize you, you can borrow their abilities with their consent. Originally, in the original setting, they were equivalent to 'natural elves' The presence."
Zheng Xiu rolled his eyes: "Don't talk to me about settings. I'm afraid when you talk about settings now."
Annie: "..." She wanted to get angry, but various facts proved that what Zheng Xiu said seemed to be the truth. So Annie stopped getting angry, lowered her cat head with tears in her eyes, drank tea silently, and put the empty tea cup aside.
Bobo's sharp eyes saw that the orange cat's tea cup was empty, and he took the initiative to fill it up.
Zheng Xiu finished scolding the orange cat, and then wondered: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, they are all good kids."
Anne is sure.
Zheng Xiu waved to the white-haired boy who seemed to be the most well-behaved.
Xue walked over coolly with a sullen face, holding an exquisite small folding fan in her hand.
"dad."
snow Road.
"How do I use it?"
Zheng Xiu has no experience.
"How do you usually give 'permission' to Xiaowu?"
Annie covered her mouth and smiled.
Hmm... just give it purely?
No, isn’t this the result of your loophole?
When did I give it seriously?
So I ask?
Can I use you?
Can I use you?
None of it seems right.
The young man looked at his father's twisting expression, raised his chin slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently put his hand into Zheng Xiu's hand.
Holding the child's hand tightly, Zheng Xiu felt as if his blood had solidified and frozen, but at the same time, he felt that he and the child seemed to be connected and connected.
On Zheng Xiu's other hand, the still hot and steaming tea was frozen in the blink of an eye. Zheng Xiu gently shook it, and the frozen teacup shattered into ice slag.
"this……"
Looking at Zheng Xiu's surprised expression, Annie knew that this guy must have deliberately sealed the two divinities of good and evil deep in the Bund because he wanted to be "down to earth", so she jumped up and pointed He scolded Zheng Xiu: "Stupid captain! What's so surprising! You are also a god! According to me, your useless 'humanity' should be deleted! It's not good to be a pure god. !"
Zheng Xiu touched the boy's smooth and cool hair and expressed encouragement: "Good boy."
The boy's pale eyes lit up slightly, but there was no smile on his face. He nodded slightly, let go of Zheng Xiu's hand, and turned around to continue playing with the other children.
The cool boy's snow flickered at his fingertips. On a hot summer day, heavy snow fell over the Red Prince's Mansion.
Anne explained: "Look, although you can't see it, the child is very happy."
Zheng Xiu nodded happily.
But the next second, his father-like smile of relief froze on his face.
When the children saw it, they started a snowball fight.
The wild boy smiled coldly, took a snowball, and threw it at the fat man.
Boom!
The smashed snowball turned into a fireball in mid-air, penetrated the dull fat man's chest, and shattered the courtyard wall.
Rumble…
The kitchen was burned down.
A raging fire started.
In order to extinguish the fire, the tall "mountain" raised his hand and pressed down. Several houses collapsed and squeezed, suppressing the fire.
The child, who was lying on the rockery and taking a nap, holding a stick, made a "tsk" sound from his mouth.
"It's so noisy."
He beat the small black drum behind his back with a stick.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket fell from the sky and struck the ruins squeezed into a hill, blowing the hill into pieces.
The little fat man who was originally blown to pieces reassembled into shape, holding his head and shivering in the corner.
"Boom!"
"boom!"
"Ah da!"
"It's so noisy, it's so noisy!"
"No!"
The children's fights escalated.
The assassins who were secretly guarding the Red Prince's Mansion had known that there was a fight between gods and goddesses inside, so they hid far away. These kids are untouchable.
Qing Shisan and Ji Hongou came back with red faces after hearing the noise from a distance. When they saw that it was the naughty children who caused such a noise, they were so shocked that they immediately returned to the place where Bingzhu had been talking at night.
No one can offend these naughty kids.
"Mountains, snow, swamps, fire, thunder, moon."
Explosions of wind, gravel, thunder, fireballs, frost, and lights of different colors struck Zheng Xiu horrifyingly, but were all blocked by a thin light curtain. Zheng Xiu sighed softly and counted the "abilities" of these children with his fingers.
If he gets along well with children, these will also become his subsidiary abilities in the future.
Zheng Xiu rubbed his eyebrows, where there was a small pimple. He began to have headaches about early childhood education.
Suddenly, Zheng Xiu stood up and said in a deep voice: "Quiet, stop making trouble."
When the naughty children showing off their magical powers heard the sound, they all froze in mid-air, looking at Zheng Xiu motionless.
"Cough cough cough!" The wild child swallowed a ball of fire back into his stomach.
The reason why they fell silent instantly was because when Zheng Xiu said these words, he released his divinity. His awe-inspiring divinity was like the "majesty" of a superior person, telling the children: Dad is angry.
call out! A door opened in an empty space. Qing Shisan, who was wiping his mouth in a hurry, carefully put his head out and looked around: "Master, your children are... ahem, are you done?"
Zheng Xiu nodded and recovered his divine nature. In the blink of an eye, the children were sitting in a row in a messy yard.
Qing Shisan put on another face, one that was a bit serious and dignified, but he turned to look at the children and twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't hold himself tight anymore and couldn't be serious anymore: "The Red Prince's Mansion is surrounded, whoever is coming... …unkind.”
It was originally a serious matter, but why did Qing Shisan feel that it was the other party who should be serious?
Zheng Xiu walked out and saw the third prince wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown. He had placed a festive red table in front of the Red Prince's Mansion, with two bloody heads placed on the table.
"Red King, I have come to send you a congratulatory gift."
Zheng Xiu looked at the two heads on the table that seemed to have died not long ago, namely the eldest prince and the second prince.
"you win?"
Zheng Xiu felt a little bored. He had seen this scene countless times, so he slowly walked forward.
The third prince watched Zheng Xiu approaching and was suddenly startled, what is this? Don't you want to express your opinion?
After a moment of astonishment, Zheng Xiu walked up to the third prince and gently patted him on the neck.
The next second, the third prince's legs gave way and he collapsed on the ground. The feces and urine in his crotch wet the dragon robe.
The third prince was salivating at the moment and his eyes were frightened. He had no idea what was happening. In the blink of an eye, he was paralyzed and unable to move.
Zheng Xiu clapped his hands, called Qing Shisan, and said, "Send it to Wei Chen. It's settled."
"Uh..." Qing Shisan was a little disgusted. He pinched his nose and dragged the third prince into the door like a tractor, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The elite soldiers surrounding the Red Prince's Mansion were already stunned and could not react at all.
Zheng Xiu turned around and went back to his house. Someone would naturally take care of the rest.
…
Deep palace.
Not long after Situ Yong left, Wei Yangzun was as skinny as a stick, lying on the bed with unwillingness in his eyes.
Situ Yong's decisive words stopped his thoughts of "immortality".
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
At this time, there was a polite knock on the door. Wei Yangzun opened his hoarse lips. Long Yan was furious and was about to get angry. When the door opened, a man and a woman walked in without permission.
The people who broke into the palace at night were Zheng Xiu and the embarrassed Zheng Erniang.
In an instant, doubt, unwillingness, anger, and finally deep helplessness flashed in Wei Yangzun's eyes.
Zheng Xiu smiled slightly, put his hand into the ripples, and pulled out a luxurious bench. Zheng Xiu sat down calmly, crossed his legs, and patted the empty space next to him. Er Niang sat close to Zheng Xiu.
Wei Yangzun struggled to sit up.
"It's a long story, why don't you see it for yourself."
Zheng Xiu snapped his fingers, and a light curtain instantly appeared in front of Wei Yangzun. Many scenes were played on the light curtain like a revolving lantern.
"Who are you?"
After watching "Image", Wei Yangzun understood everything. All three of his children died.
At the same time, he also understood that he still had two children living among the people. One is Wei Chen, and the other is Zheng Erniang in front of her, the Princess Ruyi who was once named "Wei Ruyi".
"God, immortal, invincible, supreme, emperor. Whatever you think." Zheng Xiu smiled, as if by magic, he took out one thing after another from the ripples, which were all placed in the warehouse in advance. Gadgets.
A long table, a pot of fine wine, and two glass cups.
Zheng Xiu poured out the wine, and the glass cup slowly floated to Wei Yangzun and floated in front of him.
"Old Wei," Zheng Xiu raised his glass to Wei Yangzun from afar, drank first as a sign of respect, and then said: "Human beings have limits. If you want to live forever, unless you break through the level of life, no matter who you are, it will be difficult to defy this law. "
"This is life."
Old Wei lowered his head, grabbed the glass cup, and drank all the wine in the cup. After a moment, he choked violently due to the alcohol.
"I don't have much time, so I want to cut through the mess quickly." Zheng Xiu stretched out two fingers: "You have two choices now. You die in humiliation. No one knows the true identity of Er Niang. I will change the dynasty as a rebellious minister and traitor. In the future, In this world, everyone’s surname is Zheng.”
Wei Yangzun was silent.
"Second, everyone should do their own thing. You will issue an edict tomorrow to recognize Erniang as her ancestor and return her to the clan, and change her to the crown prince. She will be the first female emperor in the history of Daqian Kingdom, Emperor Wei Zhao."
"In exchange, I will let the Wei Dynasty continue for another hundred years."
Old Wei's eyes were blurry, as if he was looking forward to the prosperity of the dynasty for a hundred years.
After a while, Old Wei stared at Zheng Xiu and asked in a hoarse voice: "What about a hundred years from now?"
Zheng Xiu pointed to the sky: "A hundred years later, the Zheng family will ascend. Under the Kingdom of God, there will be no more emperors, and the world will be unified."
