In February of the following year, the spring cold is still expected to be steep. On this day, amid the faint sound of the waves, at the entrance of an unnamed small fishing village on the coast of the Yellow Sea, dozens of people fled in a hurry.

Years of war have made it rare to see young people in such a desolate fishing village, but there are only a dozen or so households left. , There are people who wear stiletto hats and don't care about righting, and there are those who have unkempt hair and a boot on their feet. Just looking at the color of the clothes, they appear to be high-class and noble people, and there is also a gorgeous gold mask in the middle. The woman who fell into the eyes of the villagers was a strange shape.

The villagers were terrified, calling for their sons and daughters, and fled in all directions.

The chasing soldiers behind him were getting closer and closer, as if he could hear the sound of horseshoes landing and fighting. A man who looked like an official suddenly fell from the back of a running horse, Liang Guangulu rolled to the side of the road, he broke his leg, Zhang Huang called for help, but no one paid attention. He rolled over, and left him behind, as well as the terrified cry for help he made.

On the opposite side came an old fisherman who had just returned from the sea with a rope on his back. Seeing the group of people on the opposite side, the old fisherman turned around and wanted to flee, but was immediately arrested. The soldiers threatened the old fisherman with a knife and forced the old fisherman to take him to the mooring place.

The sound of the waves was bursting, and the salty sea breeze with a chill also rushed towards him.

The horseshoe got stuck in the tidal flat, making it difficult to move forward. Liu Yan and his party dismounted and stepped into the mud smear, one foot deep and one foot shallow, stumbling to the seaside where the fishing boat was moored, and finally escaped to the side of the boat. All the boots were stuck in the muddy tidal flat behind him, as if each black mouth was opening towards the sky, moaning and screaming in vain.

When the tide was low, the fishing boat was quickly pushed into the sea, and the old fishermen were also forced to get on the boat together.

It's just that the fishing boat is not big enough to hold all the group.

After Liu Yan, Su Ehuang, Liu Fan, Liang Ji, the prefect of Yuanyang, who was named a general, and his daughter who was made queen by Liu Yan, and the last dozen or so soldiers boarded the ship, they had nowhere to stay. .

Wang Ba, Dou Wu, Deng Xun, and others have long since lost their usual prudent appearance. They have stomped their feet and abandoned their crowns. Weeping loudly, there are also those who kowtow to see off regardless of the mud on their faces, making a mess.

At this moment, Dong Cheng shoved away Dou Wu, who was blocking him in front of him, and chased the fishing boat with the sea water. I will protect you faithfully and help you ascend to the throne, how could you abandon me like this today..."

The fishing boat just went into the sea with the receding tide, and it was unstable.

Liu Shan was lying on the bow of the boat covered with greasy and greasy stains, and stomped on the back of Dong Cheng's hand with his feet. chopped down.

In the screams, Dong Cheng's fingers on one hand were broken, and the moment he fell, out of survival instinct, he grabbed the other hand randomly, grabbing Liu Shan's ankle, Liu Shan could not stand steady, and was dragged by Dong Cheng. Then, the two fell into the sea together.

The tide was bursting, and the two of them were quickly pulled away from the fishing boat. Liu Fan didn't know the water and fell into the sea. help me-"

Before he finished speaking, a wave came and covered him, and in a blink of an eye, the two heads disappeared above the sea.

Liu Yan stood in the middle of the boat, his robes rattled in the sea breeze, his eyes were fixed on the direction in which the chasing soldiers were gradually coming up in the distance, and his expression was blank.

With the receding tide, the fishing boats gradually disappeared from sight amid the cries of the remnants of the remnants at the seaside.

In the evening of the second day, Liu Yan and his party, without any supplies, finally landed on a small island under the helm of the old fishermen.

There are traces of people living on this small island. Some tattered fishing nets are dried on the beach, and the shadows of a few low huts can be faintly seen in the distance.

Liang Ji asked Liu Yan to rest for a while, and brought his soldiers to find the islanders.

As soon as Su Ehuang came ashore, she lay on the reef and vomited continuously. The butterfly cover on her face accidentally fell off and was swept away by a wave of waves.

Su Ehuang screamed, ignoring the surging waves, chased after him, and finally grabbed the mask from the beach.

She was wet and pale, like a dead person, clutching the already deformed mask tightly, and immediately put it back on her face. It's just that both hands trembled so badly that after wearing it a few times, the mask fell off.

In the end, she was forced to put it back on, she almost crawled on her limbs and landed on the shore, and finally slumped near a reef, gasping for breath.

Liu Yan was right next to her, his face was haggard, his lips were chapped and bleeding, and he was motionless, like a clay sculpture.

Soon, Liang Ji came back, holding a pot of clear water in his hand, and presented it to Liu Yan, saying that there were dozens of households on the island, all of them fishermen who had escaped from the nearby seaside fishing village to live on the island in order to escape the war. The soldiers are all under control, please Liu Yan to rest for the night, wait for the supplies to be ready, change to a bigger and safer boat, and try to escape further in the morning.

Su Ehuang struggled, stood up from the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the sea is wide and wide, and Wei Ni's hands and eyes are open to the sky again, and when he is far away from the offshore waters, he is expected to be helpless! We can go south, wait until the south, and nourish our essence. Xu Rui, with your identity as the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty, why is there no loyal ministers in the world! In the future, you will be punished, and then you will go back to Luoyang, smash Wei Ni's body into ten thousand pieces, and take revenge!"

The sea breeze was strong, and her voice was blown with an unreal humming sound, but it was extremely sonorous, and even Liang Ji seemed to feel the hope in her words.

The already depressed spirit was actually lifted, and he looked at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was supported by Liang Hou, slowly stood up from the stone, and walked towards the highest settlement in the middle of the island, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

On a flat ground in the settlement, there were dozens of ragged fishermen kneeling on their knees, men and women, young and old, looking at Liu Yan and Su Ehuang and his group as they approached with frightened and confused eyes.

Liu Yan got into the largest hut, and as soon as he entered, he lay down on the tattered mat that was barely a bed on the ground, with his eyes closed and motionless.

The sky gradually got dark.

Outside the hut, the wind whistled, and there were strange noises, as if only a ghost was parading in the sky above the island.

Liu Yan finally felt tired.

He fell asleep, lying on the ground beside his feet behind the beam.

The moonlight shone through a hole in the roof of the thatched hut, sprinkled on Liang Hou's young and beautiful face, and also revealed the residual tears in the corner of her eyes.

Suddenly, Liu Yan, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

After Liang Hou was awakened by him, she got up and rushed to his side, saying, "What's the matter with you, Your Majesty?"

Liu Yan opened his eyes wide and stared at the face behind the beam under the moonlight without blinking, gradually showing a blurred look.

Empress Liang tentatively called him again, seeing that he should not, staring at himself with more and more strange eyes, trembling in his heart, and slowly backing away.

Liu Yan suddenly knocked her down.

"...You are my Liu Yan's wife... Said, you want to live with me and die with me..."

Although Concubine Liang was a queen, she was not very close to him on weekdays. Falling into such a field at this moment, I felt that he was hugging him tightly, accompanied by a trembling muffled voice, his icy lips kept falling on his cheeks, his heart could not help thumping, and he slowly closed his eyes, With a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am already your wife, and I must live in the same school as Your Majesty, and die in the same cave..."

Liu Yan kissed her even more frantically.

"I know you were forced! You were forcibly married to Wei Ni by your family... They all deserve to die, and they deserve to die! But as long as you change your mind, I will let go of the past, and I will seal you up!"

Liu Yan's voice became extremely excited.

Concubine Liang opened her eyes in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Liu Yan suddenly froze, and finally slowly opened his eyes, staring at Concubine Liu below him under the white moonlight in the hut.

Concubine Liang was frightened again, she shrank back, and said softly, "Your Majesty... just now you said that I was forcibly married to Wei Ni by my family... You also said that they deserved death for their crimes... My father has always been loyal to you... I beg Your Majesty's lesson... "

Liu Yan's eyes flashed, her facial muscles twitched, her breathing became more and more turbid, she raised her hand suddenly and pinched her neck.

Concubine Liang couldn't breathe, her slender neck was deformed under Liu Yan's pinching as if she had exhausted all her strength, her legs were kicking, but her struggle was futile.

Liu Yan's hand finally let go of the thin neck. He got up from the ground and sat down, staring at Concubine Liang's face with rolled eyes, smoothing her eyelids, and murmured, "Manman, go ahead with peace of mind... I will follow you in the future..."

His expression was like crying and laughing, like pain, but also full of comfort, wheezing, gasping for breath.

Suddenly, along with the sea breeze outside the hut, there seemed to be a faint roar of killing.

Liu Yan seemed to have been pricked by a needle, jumped up from the ground, rushed out of the broken door, saw Liang Ji rushing towards him, and shouted in a panic, "Your Majesty, it's not good! Here, people have come ashore!"

Liu Yan looked up and saw the direction of the seaside where he landed during the day. At this moment, there was a leaping light of a fire stick, almost turning the entire beach into a bright red color. Surrounded by the stars, under the moonlight, countless figures are rushing towards the high ground in the middle.

The sound of killing sounded everywhere, and even overwhelmed the sound of the sea wind whistling across the island.

Liu Yan should have felt the same fear, just like Liang Ji and the dozen or so dead guards around him.

But at this moment, there was only a daze in his heart, and a sense of utter despair.

In fact, after the Xiongnu attacked Yuyang to no avail at the end of last year, it was already clear in his heart that sooner or later, he would face such a situation.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"Go! Bring all the islanders!"

Su Ehuang's mournful voice came from behind. Liang Ji was stunned, then reacted immediately and ordered loudly.

In order to prevent the islanders from rioting at night, before dark, those people were **** with ropes. Soon, these people were driven over by the soldiers, and they all knelt on the ground and cried.

Tonight, the moonlight was bright, and the whole island was like a snowy night. Liu Yan saw a man of the same age as himself, surrounded by several generals by his side, in the intertwined light of the white moonlight and the red fire, moving towards him. Come in your own direction.

In this life, his biggest and most hated enemy is Wei Shao.

Wei Shao not only took away his fiancée, but also his world.

The funny thing is that he never had the chance to meet the enemy.

Until this moment, he finally knew that the man who was walking towards him with the attitude of a winner in the moonlight and firelight was the curse that Liu Yan could never get rid of in his life.

He stared at the man who was getting closer and closer, his battle armor flashing red light, his whole body was cold and hot, and the body under the suit also trembled slightly uncontrollably.

"kill-"

"kill-"

From all directions, the high-pitched killing sound mixed with the low sea waves and the humming night wind rushed towards the highland in the center of the island.

The sergeants who drove the battle boat to cross the sea with the Marquis of Yan and chased here were all enthusiastic.

General Li Dian has joined forces with General Lvmou, attacked from the north and the south, and completely wiped out King Chen Tianwang. The disaster lasted almost a year in the south, and the cannibal army, which made the people feel terrified, was wiped out. At the same time, last December, Wei Shao personally led the army, He calmed Yuzhou and ordered Gai Zhao to surrender. After that, the momentum was unstoppable and unstoppable. Song Ling of Lujiang, Liu Quan of Jiangxia also surrendered one after another.

In addition to the barbarians in the south, the only two regimes left in the Central Plains were the Hanzhong Lezheng and Liu Yan's small court.

The Lezheng brothers are fighting infighting, and the big beam can be broken, and Liu Yan is even closer now, like a turtle in a urn.

Destroy Liu Yan, destroy the big beam, from now on, the world will be unified, horses will release Nanshan, a brand new empire will rise from the ruins, no longer have to struggle to fight with blood, why not make people full of expectations and blood boiling?

"Wei Ni, listen! These islanders are innocent people. Your Majesty doesn't want to be embarrassed, but you are so aggressive! If your sergeant is one step closer, I will kill all the islanders and fight you to the death!"

With all his strength, Liang Ji shouted at Wei Shao, who was dozens of feet away, mixed with the cries of the islanders behind him, and sent out with the wind.

Wei Shao stopped.

The commander gave orders one by one, and soon, the noise around him became quiet.

"Get out of the way immediately and send Your Majesty to the ship—"

Liang Ji was emotional, waved the long knife in his hand, and continued to shout.

Lei Yan took Zhang Tiegong from a nearby archer, pulled the bow full of rage, and penetrated the back of the bow. After taking aim, he suddenly shot an arrow crossbow.

With a whimper that pierced through the air, Yu Jian shot towards the figure on the high ground in the distance. Liang Ji was struck by an arrow in his heart and fell to the ground with a mad scream.

"Sgt. Liu Yan obeyed orders. My lord knows that you and others obey orders. You can't help yourself. At this moment, you will surrender. Pardon Er is not guilty! If you resist stubbornly again, you will be executed together!"

Lei Yan's voice full of qi came, and he was not angry and arrogant.

"Return!"

"Return!"

The sergeants from all directions also echoed neatly, and their voices were like thunder, shocking people's ears.

At the end of the road, surrounded on all sides, the main general died violently in front of him, and the last dozen or so guards who persisted until this moment completely collapsed. Wei Shao knelt on the ground in the direction and raised the weapon in his hand, and the rest followed suit.

Sergeant Wei Shao cheered and continued to move towards the high ground, slowly surrounding him.

With a distorted face and wild eyes, Su Ehuang suddenly grabbed a crying baby in the arms of a fisherwoman, raised it high, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Wei Shao, listen, if you don't let me go, I will fall to death the baby! Aren't you afraid that this unjust death will be reported to your child?"

Lei Yan was furious and said to Wei Shao, "This vicious woman is really vicious. The last commander will shoot her to death first!"

Wei Shao looked at Su Ehuang who looked crazy and shook his head slowly.

Suddenly, the stiff and upright Liu Yan standing beside him seemed to have come back alive, and said sternly: "Wei Shao! I am not only unwilling to be defeated by you, but also dissatisfied! You are just relying on the inheritance of your father and grandfather. What do I have? Although I was born in the royal family, I didn't rely on it at all. Heaven is not fair! If I, like you, have a great foundation to rely on, how could I have been so defeated as I am today? These islanders, I don’t want to embarrass them any more! I can let them go, but you dare to fight me alone? If I am no longer against you, I will die without resentment!"

Su Ehuang was startled and turned around and scolded: "Liu Yan, you useless person! Are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag me down!"

Liu Yan seemed to have not heard it before, and shouted again, "Wei Shao, how dare you answer my words?"

Wei Shao stared at Liu Yan's figure under the moonlight for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Why can't you respond?"

Beside him, Lei Yan and the Naval Commander were all surprised and dissuaded: "Liu Yan is nothing but a dying man! What is the use of slaughtering a chicken with a ox-slaughtering knife, the lord has a body of ten thousand gold, so he doesn't have to fight!"

Wei Shao waved his hand and said loudly: "All the officers and men obey the order, I will fight with Liu Yan, and I will live and die. If I lose to him, he can leave on his own, and you can't stop me!"

After he finished speaking, he held a long sword in his hand, and strode away towards an open space under the moonlight.

Liu Yan also held the sword, and walked towards the open space under the curse of Su Ehuang's evil voice behind him.

The moonlight is like water, and the waves crash on the shore. Qing Feng unsheathed and drew a cold sword light.

With a loud roar, Liu Yan rushed towards Wei Shao who was on the opposite side.

In the past few years, he has not only worked hard to plan great things, but also worked hard to learn swordsmanship and fight with samurai.

Countless late nights, when he closed his eyes, he would remember that day when he was crushed by Chen Rui's halberd into the snow, unable to move, he could only watch the scene where he took Xiao Qiao away with a mad laugh.

If the self back then could have what it is today, such a shameful scene would never happen again.

And the humiliation and hatred brought to him by the man in front of him was far better than that of Chen Rui back then.

His eyes were red, his teeth were gritted, and he used all his strength to fight against his life.

Killing him, even if he perishes with him, is at all cost.

However, God always seemed to ridicule him, even at the last moment.

Liu Yan's last crazy fantasy was cut off by Wei Shao's sword.

With a piercing sound of metal breaking, the long sword in Liu Yan's hand was twisted, and the sword body was split into three pieces and splashed out, one of which was impartial and inserted into Liu Yan's left knee.

Liu Yan closed his eyes, opened them, and saw Wei Shao standing in front of him with a long sword in his hand.

Under the moonlight, his eyes glowed with a faint cold light, which suddenly reminded Liu Yan of the impermanence of life.

Liu Yan's teeth began to tremble slightly.

Just a moment ago, all the generosity, sadness, anger and courage that had supported his duel with Wei Shao seemed to be leaving him quickly.

He didn't want to show fear, but at this moment, he was real, and suddenly regretted it again.

Perhaps Emperor Su E was right, threatening the lives of the islanders, maybe he could escape, and there would be a chance to make a comeback in the future...

In his mind, such a thought flashed vaguely.

But before the thought could take shape, there was a tingling pain in his chest, and the long sword in Wei Shao's hand had already pierced into his heart.

He could clearly feel that the sharp blade exuding the breath of death pierced through his clothes and into his flesh.

"Manman is my Liu Yan's fiancee... The world belongs to my Liu family..."

He stood upright, his face pale, and he squeezed out a trembling voice word by word from the gap between his teeth.

Wei Shao looked at his distorted face with indifference, the blade of the sword inserted between the two ribs accurately, and slowly pierced the beating heart that was protected, inch by inch, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch suddenly. When the lump of flesh and blood was shrinking faster, it stopped for a while.

"Liu Yan."

Wei Shao's icy voice drifted into Liu Yan's ears.

"I don't dare to say that I am Wei Shao, who is virtuous and how can I be. I am more worthy than you, and I am more qualified to be the emperor of this world than you. But there is one thing I will never do, and that is for myself. For the sake of profit, dare to take the risk of the world, collude with the Huns, and use the land of the Han people to make good friends with foreigners."

"Although you call yourself the emperor of the Han family, in my eyes, it's nothing at all. The reason why I personally cross the sea to chase you here is that I won't kill you with my own hands. I can't help it!"

Before he finished speaking, he exerted his strength, the blade pierced deeply and came out through his back.

Liu Yan tightly covered his chest, which was bleeding continuously, with one hand, his eyes were wide open, his lips moved slightly, and his body trembled violently.

Wei Shao drew his sword, and with hot blood spraying out from the tip of the sword, Liu Yan let out a loud cry and fell to the ground on his back.

Wei Shao lowered his head slightly, expressionless, looking at Liu Yan's body spasming on the ground.

Until the body gradually stopped moving, he closed his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and turned his eyes to Emperor Su E, who was slumped on the ground.

Su Ehuang's hair was unkempt, and the skirt was full of mud. She was still holding the crying baby tightly in her hands. Under Wei Shao's extremely cold gaze, she placed it on the ground in horror, and crawled back subconsciously. After a few steps, he struggled to get up from the ground, turned around and ran, but was blocked by the sergeant behind him.

She burst into tears, kneeling and crawling towards Wei Shao, tremblingly stretched out her mud-stained hand and grabbed his ankle.

"Erlang! I know I was wrong! I used to blame me for being blinded and doing things that are inferior to pigs and dogs... But what I do is all out of my admiration for you... Erlang, you have done me a favor before. Severe punishment, please look at the relationship in the past, please spare me-"

She looked up at Wei Shao, tears rolling down her cheeks from the distorted golden mask.

Wei Shao slowly leaned over, put his hand towards her cheek, and suddenly took off her mask, pinched it with five fingers, and the butterfly mask quickly deformed in his palm, forming a ball.

Su Ehuang screamed and hurriedly covered her face with her sleeves.

Wei Shao stared at her expressionlessly, spread out his five fingers, and Jin Tuan fell to the ground with a puff.

Wei Shao turned around and strode away.

"Listen to all the villagers, the Central Plains have been settled, the world will be united, and there will be no more wars in the future! If you wish to return to your hometown, you can go ashore together on your master's battleship!"

Lei Yan ordered the sergeant to untie the ropes that bound the islanders and said.

The islanders were in disbelief at first, but they soon became excited and whispered for a while. They knelt down at Wei Shao's back, thanked each other loudly, supported each other, and rushed home to pack up their belongings and boarded the boat to leave the island and return to their hometown.

Xiao Qiao slept until the middle of the night and woke up suddenly, feeling a little uneasy, as if something had happened.

The tentacle touched the sleeping Philip.

She leaned towards her daughter's warm, soft body and pressed her face against her daughter's small head.

Her breath was filled with the familiar scent of frankincense that her daughter was familiar with, and she felt her mood gradually calm down again.

I closed my eyes again.

Wei Shao should be back soon...

Before falling asleep, she felt such a feeling in her heart.
