"Yan Jiu."
"Subordinates are here."
"Call me the tourmaline."
"Yes."
"Your Majesty." Tourmaline was passed to the front of the Zhengguang Hall, knelt down and looked at the tall and straight figure wearing a dragon robe and standing on her back.
"Bixi, were you the one who saw Chu Ya die with your own eyes?" Chu Lang's voice showed no emotion.
Tourmaline lowered her eyes and answered, "Yes."
"Chu Ya's body was devoured by wolves, and you saw it with your own eyes?" Chu Lang turned around abruptly, his previously cold and self-sufficient eyes now looked extraordinarily violent.
"Emperor... Your Majesty!" Seeing Chu Lang's appearance, Bixi was startled, "Subordinates dare not lie!"
"Don't dare to lie?" Chu Lang looked at him coldly, "Then why did Yan Jiu, who guarded Chuya with you back then, tell me...Chuya is still alive now!"
Tourmaline's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the quiet man in black standing behind Chu Lang, his face full of disbelief.
Yan Jiu looked directly at him, his eyes were dark.
"Bixi, I think you have been loyal all these years, so I sent you to protect Chuya." Chu Lang's gaze was like a knife, "But you..."
"Subordinate..." Tourmaline lowered her head.
"What happened back then?" Chu Lang stopped listening to him and kicked him down, "Speak!"
Gritting her teeth, Bixi got up again and knelt down in front of Chu Lang.
"This subordinate saw Chu Ya being shot and killed by Chu Qinghuang!"
Another ruthless kick, this kick landed on Bixi's heart, and the kicked Bixi spat out a mouthful of blood, "Still lying to me!"
Chu Lang pulled out the saber at his waist, and was about to stab Tourmaline.
Yan Jiu, who was standing aside, suddenly said, "The underground palace of Yunlai Palace."
Tourmaline was shocked.
Chu Lang understood what Yan Jiu was talking about almost instantly, and summoned a few shadow guards to watch over the tourmaline, while he hurried to Yunlai Hall with his people.
Tourmaline lay on the ground, but stared directly at Yan Jiu with a cold face, as if wishing to kill him, "You!"
"The second prince made a promise back then, let us be loyal to this day." As if recalling the past, Yan Jiu said, "In order to achieve success, I have done too many things that even I despise myself." Yan Jiu's gaze was still cold Yes, but the clenched hands revealed his emotions at the moment, "Now that Chu Feng is dead and the second prince is emperor, Chu Qinghuang who let us live back then was criticized by the world. But you and I hid the fourth prince in the underground palace Li... Tourmaline, you and I are dead soldiers, what is the purpose of allegiance in this life?"
"In my life, only my master ascends to the throne!" Bixi gritted her teeth, "Chu Qinghuang and Chu Ya are both stumbling blocks..."
"Even the younger brother who supported each other to grow up is dead, how lonely it must be to sit on the throne." Yan Jiudao, "I have been thinking, if Chuya and Chu Qinghuang sit on the throne, the master will definitely sit on the throne." Not what it is now."
Tourmaline had anxiety in his heart that he didn't even dare to think about, but his face was still stubborn, "What do you know, the world's hegemony has always been like this!"
"Have you asked the master, is this what he wants?" Yan Jiu paused, "I feel guilty day and night because I abandoned my younger brother in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and killed my younger brother. What does the master want?"
Tourmaline turned her head away from him, but her whole body trembled unconsciously.
"In my life, the one I'm most sorry for is Chu Qinghuang." Yan Jiu closed his eyes, "I watched him being tortured, seeing him begging for death, seeing his last dignity being wiped away, I was thinking , It would have been great if I had died at the hands of Chu Feng. Loyalty and righteousness are the best."
If everything can go back to the beginning, he will never say that vow of betrayal in exchange for living.
"Kill me." Tourmaline said suddenly.
Yan Jiu looked at him coldly, "Before the master gives the order, the dead man doesn't even have the right to ask for death."
Tourmaline has been kneeling on the ground.
He is waiting.
Chu Lang rushed to Yunlai Hall.
That was the palace where he and Chu Ya lived at the beginning, but after Chu Ya's death, he never dared to come here again.
A thick layer of dust has fallen on the palace gate of Yunlai Palace, and the gold-painted door knocker has peeled off with spots of red rust.
"Your Majesty!" the eunuch who accompanied him called him.
"You guys wait for me outside, don't come in without my order." After Chu Lang finished speaking, he pushed open the palace door and stepped in.
The Yunlai Palace was no longer as prosperous as before, weeds were overgrown, and a row of bright yellow flowers sporadically grew in the cracks of the blue bricks.
Chu Lang raised his foot and stepped over, entered the hall, and saw nine tables and chairs in the front hall, divided into two rows, the high table and chair was very spacious, like two tables and chairs placed side by side.
——Brother Huang, in the future, I will not rob you of this country, and you should not put it in my hands. It is enough to make me a prince and make me majestic.
The playful laughter of that year is still in my ears.
Eye sockets are hot.
Chu Lang didn't dare to stay, and entered the inner hall with the last glimmer of hope.
The most conspicuous thing in the inner hall is a picture of a hundred steeds, that picture is so ingenious, people with narrow vision can only see the wild green hills, only the whole picture can see the galloping horses in the mountains.
Chu Lang's hands were trembling as he pressed the inkstone on the table in front of the painting.
The paintings hanging on the wall rose slowly, and the tightly closed wall was divided into two from the middle, revealing a secret passage hidden behind the scrolls.
Chu Lang strode in.Even he himself did not expect that he was already dripping with cold sweat.
Every prince's palace has a secret passage, which is for the benevolent first emperor to preserve the blood of those royal families during the massacre.This secret way was told by the emperor to the princes, and word of mouth has become the last secret among all the princes.
The dark passage is very deep, and there is no light around.
Chu Lang was inexplicably anxious, and his feet became faster and faster.Until he stood in front of a stone gate.
There is a heavy lock on the outside of the stone door, but the key is hung on the lock.
The moment Chu Lang opened the heavy lock, his heart beat violently at the click.
Inside the stone gate is a very spacious place, a maidservant in green clothes lowered her head and was wiping the candlesticks.Hearing the sound of the stone door opening, he raised his head in panic and looked at Chu Lang.
Chu Lang walked up to her in two or three steps, grabbed her arm, and just about to ask, the maid in green opened her mouth in fright and screamed, Chu Lang saw that there was only half of her tongue in her mouth.
The underground palace is not big, and Chu Lang didn't bother to waste time on a dumb girl, so he threw her away and walked to the deepest room of the underground palace by himself.
As soon as he got close, Chu Lang heard a chaotic bang, followed by Chu Ya's low growl, "Get away—get away!"
That sound shocked the soul!
Chu Lang opened the door and rushed in, and what he saw was Chu Ya in white obscene clothes fell to the ground, and a maidservant in green clothes was covering his mouth with a medicine bag.
Chu Ya's eyes were red, but he couldn't pull up the strength, so he could only make those useless threats.
It's as if I've been cornered...
Chu Ya couldn't tell what he felt at that moment, but felt that the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst, and almost rushed forward in fury, drew his sword and beheaded the maidservant's head.As if it wasn't enough to relieve his anger, he stabbed her many times, and the blood foam splashed all over the dragon robe on her body.
Chu Ya who fell on the ground stared blankly at the man standing in front of him with his back turned. After a while, he called out in disbelief, "Brother——"
The blood-stained sword fell to the ground with a clang, and Chu Lang who turned around seemed to be about to cry.
"Brother—" Chu Ya called out again.
Chu Lang immediately hugged him into his arms, "I'm late."
His voice is full of self-blame and... regret!
Chu Ya, who was tensed all over, seemed to be completely relieved, and leaned into Chu Lang's arms a little aggrieved, "Brother, where's the tourmaline?"
Chu Lang froze.
Chu Ya didn't notice it, and continued to say angrily, "That guy locked me here, and fed me those medicines every day, and didn't let me go out to find you..." There was a sudden pause in his voice, and only then did Chu Ya notice that Chu Ya The clothes Lang was wearing, "Brother, have you become the emperor?"
Chu Lang trembled all over, but didn't speak.
"Brother, it's fine if you kill Chu Feng, but don't kill Chu Qinghuang." Chu Ya hung his arms around Chu Lang's neck, "If he hadn't let me out of the palace back then, maybe you would have killed me now." Go to my grave to offer incense. Brother, can you make him a prince? After you become the emperor, I will have a companion."
Chu Lang buried his head on Chu Ya's shoulder, and the warmth seeped into Chu Ya's clothes.
It was only then that Chu Ya felt a little strange. He pulled Chu Lang's shoulder, but saw the despair in Chu Lang's eyes.
"Brother..." The bad premonition welling up in his heart made Chu Ya turn pale.
