The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.

Thousands of households exchange old talismans for new peaches every day.

This is the first year Lu Yan spent in the Ming Dynasty. Although it is relatively simple and there are no interesting programs, it is very warm.

But for Yang Lianting, this Spring Festival is a cold one.

When he heard the news that Dongfang Bubai had died in the battle with Heimu Ya, he became discouraged and wanted to die.

Or he may remain anonymous from now on and spend the rest of his life in confusion.

But what happened in the past was so vivid in his mind that he really couldn't forget it or let it go.

He wants revenge, revenge for Dongfang Bubai!

"If you want to practice magical skills, swing your sword from the palace!"

Yang Lianting looked at this sentence written on the first page of the "Sunflower Collection". After months of hesitation and entanglement, he finally made up his mind to practice the "Sunflower Collection"!

"Leader, I will definitely take revenge!"

"ah!"

…

Beijing, Ouchi.

On this day when families were supposed to be reunited and lights were everywhere, a dark palace stood in the corner of the imperial city, incompatible with the surrounding environment.

In the closed hall, it was dark, and an old and short figure could be vaguely seen sitting in the open space in the middle, motionless, like a statue.

Crunch.

The door was slowly pushed open, and Huang Jiuyin walked in slowly, carrying a bottle of wine and two cups.

"I still have breath, so I got up and started drinking."

Huang Jiuyin's voice echoed in the hall, echoing and appearing hollow.

The statue-like figure sitting on the ground moved slightly. He slowly raised his head and looked at Huang Jiuyin. His hoarse voice was like the cold wind of Jiuyou, low and harsh.

"You can't die yet."

While he was speaking, he had already stood up, moving very quickly, and he didn't look like he was dying at all.

Huang Jiuyin sat at the table in front of the window, poured two glasses of wine under the moonlight, and said, "Kui Shan, this is the royal wine gifted by the emperor. You have to drink it tonight."

The short eunuch known as Kui Shan slowly walked to the table and sat down, saying, "Your Majesty? Which Emperor?"

Huang Jiuyin raised his head and glanced at Kui Shan, and said: "Are you really so old that you don't even remember who the emperor is? The current emperor is Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor."

Although calling the emperor by his first name was a treasonous thing, at this moment, Huang Jiuyin obviously had no such scruples.

A look of confusion appeared on Kui Shan's face and he said, "We remember, it's that boy."

When Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Kui Shan stayed with Zhu Houzhao for a month, then returned to this hall, and then never left again.

Kui Shan picked up the wine glass and tasted it carefully, as if reluctant to finish it in one gulp.

Huang Jiuyin, on the other hand, drank all the wine in the cup and poured another full cup.

"Alas, things haven't been peaceful these days."

"how?"

"Those four old guys in the southeast, northwest, and northwest are dead."

"oh."

"The next step is for us two old guys."

"Um."

"Life and death, are you confused?"

"No."

The conversation between the two ended here, and they drank in silence for a long time.

Huang Jiuyin drank one cup after another, while Kui Shan kept the same cup from beginning to end, savoring it lightly.

It wasn't until Huang Jiuyin almost finished the bottle of wine alone that Huang Jiuyin sighed heavily again and said slightly drunkenly: "Who can care about life and death?"

The older you are, the more you think life is precious and the more you fear death.

It is said that warriors should watch Dan live and die, but most of these words are said by living people. When they really die, they will die with eyes open.

Kui Shan looked at the little wine left in the cup and said softly: "Our family wants to go out."

Huang Jiuyin was stunned for a moment when he heard this and asked, "Where are you going when you go out?"

Kui Shan replied: "Find a way to live a few more years."

Huang Jiuyin was silent for a moment and said: "The royal family is in crisis."

Kui Shan raised his head, looked at Huang Jiuyin with cloudy eyes, and said: "We entered the palace at the age of seven. We are one hundred and fifty-one years old this year and have served the royal family for one hundred and forty-four years."

"Our family doesn't know how many days we have left to live. In the remaining days, our family wants to live for ourselves."

Huang Jiuyin was silent again.

Kui Shan straightened his back, as if he had returned to his youth, and continued: "Over the years, the royal family has been supporting us, and we are loyal to the royal family. Without us, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Yili would have lost the two

The boy has rebelled long ago."

After hearing Kui Shan's words, Huang Jiuyin whispered: "We don't owe the royal family anything."

Kui Shan nodded, "That's the truth."

While talking, Kui Shan drank the last bit of wine left in the cup, then stood up and wandered toward the entrance of the hall.

He stood at the door, looking through the crack in the door at the sky filled with snowflakes, and murmured in a low voice: "It's time to go out for a walk."

Huang Jiuyin stood behind Kui Shan at some point. He stretched out his hand to hold Kui Shan's arm and said, "Let's go, let's see you off."

Two old eunuchs over a hundred years old, one tall and one short, both looked frail.

They supported each other and walked step by step toward the city gate amidst the falling snowflakes.

…

Bedroom.

Zhu Houzhao stood in front of the door, looking at the snowflakes outside the window, with a subtle expression on his face.

"Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor, do you think I should let you go like this?"

Tiedan Shenhou has always shown respect for the royal family and shown his loyalty and courage.

But everyone can see that underneath the loyalty of Lord Tietan, there is hidden ambition!

After all, one should first eradicate one of Tie Danshenhou and Cao Zhengchun, and then concentrate on eradicating the other one.

Should we let the two of them continue to coexist and fight each other? This is a question worth thinking about.

But before Zhu Houzhao could think much, a eunuch came quickly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the guards guarding the palace gate have sent word that two old men-in-law have left the city together, and there is no way to stop them."

Upon hearing the eunuch's words, Zhu Houzhao's expression suddenly changed.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed the eunuch by the collar, and asked coldly: "What do they look like, and where have they been?"

The eunuch looked at Zhu Houzhao's livid face and replied tremblingly: "They are all old, with wrinkled faces, wearing black brocade clothes, one is tall and the other is short."

Zhu Houzhao roared: "I ask you where they went!"

The eunuch quickly replied: "They disappeared except the palace gate. No one knows where they went!"

Zhu Houzhao pushed the eunuch away fiercely and roared to the sky angrily!

"How could you leave? How could you just leave like this!"

"You are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor! Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

"This world belongs to me, and you can go wherever you go!"
