Time passed quickly, and another half a month passed, and good news spread frequently on the Pingyue Road. Even if Chen Leng had received the order from His Majesty, he began to lead his army north, the ** wolf ape returned from the Tiao Kingdom and the war soldiers coming from the West Shu Road were enough to sweep the various places. Every day, there was a war report to Chang'an, but there was no news of Han Huanzhi.

"He did it on purpose."

The emperor glanced at Dan Tai Yuanshu: "That stubbornness is coming up. He will not stop if he doesn't catch Mu Zhaotong this time, but I always feel something is wrong."

Dan Tai Yuan Shu bowed his head: "I don't know either."

The emperor seemed to hear something wrong from Dan Tai Yuan Shu's tone, and looked at him again. Dan Tai Yuan Shu immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look at the emperor. The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Dan Tai, you know it yourself, you will never lie."

Dan Tai【.】Yuan Shu's lowered even lower, and he was even more afraid to look up at the emperor's eyes.

"What happened?"

The emperor asked Dan Tai Yuan Shu.

Dan Tai Yuan Shu was silent for a while, and finally answered truthfully: "Shang Jiu was dead, so if Han Huanzhi didn't catch someone this time, he wouldn't go back to Chang'an. Your Majesty knew that Han Huanzhi was a rational person, and few people could be more rational than him, but this time."

The emperor seemed to be stunned.

He should never have thought that Shang Jiu was gone.

"Dead?"

The emperor slowly took a few steps back and sat down with the table: "Where is the person now?"

"Pingyue Road, the military camp in Tuohai County, was planning to bring back the corpses, but the climate there was too hot flashes, and there was no way."

"How did you know?"

"Mr. Chen, I sent someone to send a letter back. Lai Cheng stopped him and did not dare to tell His Majesty directly."

The emperor sat there, just sat there, and didn't say anything for a long time. Dan Tai Yuan Shu kept looking at him nervously, but the emperor seemed to be stunned. It was just that Dan Tai Yuan Shu knew very well what kind of temperament Your Majesty was. Shang Jiusui was a retainer from the Liu Prince's Mansion and was a member of the family that Your Majesty regarded as his family. How could His Majesty feel not sad if he left?

"His Majesty?"

Dan Tai Yuan Shu called out softly.

"I'm fine."

The emperor looked at Dan Tai Yuan Shu, as if he wanted to use his expression to tell Dan Tai Yuan Shu that he was really fine, but his expression did not do it. Even a person with a strong mentality like the emperor could not do it.

"Your Majesty, he died to protect Mr. Chen, so he should be regretful."

"Um."

The emperor just said no, and Dan Tai Yuan Shu knew that His Majesty hadn't heard clearly what he said.

"You go back first."

The emperor waved his hand: "I still have many memorials and have many things to think about. Go back, go back, and there are many things waiting for you to deal with by the imperial guards."

Dan Tai Yuan Shu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh and then bow and exit the Donghunting Pavilion.

The emperor seemed to be looking at the red pen hanging on the pen holder in a daze, subconsciously picked it up, opened the memorial, but couldn't see a word in it. With a bang, the red pen fell on the table, dyeing a small piece of the table red. The emperor reached out and wiped it, looking at the bright red on his fingers in a daze.

After a while, the emperor raised his hand and pinched his temple, took a deep breath, and picked up the red pen again.

From noon to dusk, the emperor finished all the memorials and looked at Dai Fangzhou: "Go and tell Concubine Zhen that I will come to her for dinner later."

Dai Fangzhou's heart was unable to let go of his heart for most of the day, and he was always hanging there. He knew as well as Dan Tai Yuan Shu what the retainers who came out of the palace meant to His Majesty. Each one was so important. Whether older or younger, His Majesty carefully raised them one by one like a father. It was no longer an ordinary relationship, it was like a close relative of blood.

Dai Fangzhou hurried out to arrange the arrangements. The emperor looked at the thick memorial piled up on the table and was silent for a long time. Then he stood up and shook it a little while when he stood up. He stood firmly on the table and took a deep breath again.

In the palace of Zhenfei.

The emperor ate a bowl of porridge, ate some side dishes, and then watched the second prince fall asleep, and then went to see the two cold children. After the children were all asleep, the emperor walked out of the room, sat on the steps at the door of the hall and stared at the sky in a daze, and seemed to be trying hard to find something in the sky.

Concubine Zhen put a piece of clothing on the emperor. It was late autumn. It was still a little sunny at noon during the day, but it was really cold in the morning and night.

The emperor smiled at Concubine Zhen and fell into silence again.

"Whether it is the emperor or the poor, men are not willing to cry in front of their women."

Concubine Zhen sat down next to the emperor: "I only told my family the best news, but buried the most painful things in my heart. No matter what I want to do, I will not say it even if I have done it 80% of them. I will not tell my women until they are done. What they are worried about is that once they cannot make it happen, they will disappoint their women. Women are always more likely to be disappointed. They get good news in advance but end up getting nothing. For women, they think it is a loss."

She looked at the emperor: "Women feel sad or even noisy when they lose something. They should be a minority. Most women will comfort their men after they know it, for example, what do I want to say to you who sit in front of me now."

She held the emperor's hand: "Your eyes told me what you lost, and it was what you cared about."

The emperor looked at Concubine Zhen, and wanted to smile, but she smiled, but the smile that she didn't want to worry, with tears passing by next to her smile, pretending to pass by quietly, but how could she not be seen by her?

"I'm leaving at the age of nine."

The emperor lowered his head and looked at Zhenfei's hand. Zhenfei's hand was his hand.

"At the age of nine, he has always been a different person. He once said that if all the brothers who came out of the palace could die for others, he might not be able to do it, because he felt that he was more useful than most people living. His personality was not good, so others felt that he could not get close to him."

The emperor said to himself, "Are you ridiculous? He is the first person to prove that he can die for his brother."

Is that ridiculous when the emperor said, but is that really ridiculous?

Concubine Zhen let go of her hand, and at that moment the emperor's hand seemed helpless, but at the next moment, Concubine Zhen had already hugged the emperor tightly, patting her hand gently on the emperor's back as if comforting a child.

She didn't say anything, she just hugged him like this.

The emperor let out a long sigh: "Tomorrow Chen Xiaosong will arrive in Chang'an. Lai Cheng stopped others and refused to let them tell me that I was leaving at the age of nine. But Chen Xiaosong will definitely tell me that I am not saying that I have close relatives and closeness. Those who followed me when I was in the palace have different ideas from Dan Tai Lai Cheng and others, even if they are all for my own good."

Of course, Zhenfei understands.

"That's why Han Huanzhi went crazy. He deliberately did not tell me where he was. The first time, Han Huanzhi was irrational."

The emperor raised his head and looked at the night sky: "What I don't believe most is that people will turn into stars when they die, and I don't believe it, but now I think I should believe it. Just point one of them in the sky, and say that it is nine years old, it must be nine years old, at least, I have a thought."

At the same time, the West Shu Road.

A person who pays attention to appearance like Han Huanzhi has not changed his clothes for several days and has not shaved his beard for a month. He seems to have become a completely different person, more taciturn than before. He even changed his habits. No matter where he lives, no matter day or night, he will not pull up the curtains.

"grown ups."

Nie Ye walked in from outside quickly: "Nalan Xiaodi just sent news that someone was chasing him from Muyu Pass. He was the officers and soldiers guarding the city and told a very suspicious thing."

He said that Song Mouyuan bought horses at Muyu Pass: "After the horse-selling people told the soldiers who were guarding the city, the soldiers didn't care. This kind of thing was really not strange. They were guarding the gate and encountered too many things every day, so they didn't think deeply at that time. Later, the soldiers guarding the city told the Muyu Pass that An Tong was the captain An Tong. An Tong thought something was wrong and told General Li Duozhi. Li Duozhi immediately sent someone to Yunxiao City."

Nie Ye looked at Han Huanzhi: "Nalan Xiaodi suspected that this person is the person next to Mu Zhaotong."

Han Huanzhi said: "What name did this person use when he passed Muyu Pass?"

"The people from Muyu Pass said that they were called Muke."

Han Huanzhi thought about it carefully and there was no one in his memory named this name.

"He entered the city a while ago, before we entered the city."

Nie Ye said: "Just Nalan found out just now, and then secretly sent someone to check the location of Muke. He found out that he was at Ruyi Inn in Yunxiao City. Now Nalan Xiaodi and his people are taking control on the outside of the inn, so he should be able to catch people."

Han Huanzhi stood up and said, "Go over and take a look."

It was already late at night, and there were no other pedestrians on the street. The sound of Han Huanzhi's carriage wheels rolling over the bluestone road seemed a little harsh. Han Huanzhi in the carriage had been closing his eyes, but he was clenching his fists, as if he was enduring huge pain. This appearance of Han Huanzhi made Nie Ye feel strange, but he also felt extremely real.

Ruyi Inn.

Song Mouyuan stood at the window and looked outside in a daze. He had been back in Yunxiao City for a while. He went directly to the Taoist temple outside the city. The Taoist Wuwei told the Pavilion Master that he had left. He hurried into Yunxiao City. However, after so many days, he could not find where the Pavilion Master was. Before he came back, Yunxiao City suddenly announced that all the old people should not leave the city. He knew that the Pavilion Master was exposed and he did not leave because he was still uncertain whether the Pavilion Master was in the hands of the government or was still hidden in the city.

The night wind was a little cool, and Song Mouyuan looked at the distant thoughts.

At this moment, he vaguely heard the sound of the carriage wheels, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with a self-deprecating smile.

He went back to the house and drank the wine that had been there. He took a rope from the house and tied it up at the window, left a cover, held the rope cover and stood at the window waiting. Not long after, he saw Han Huanzhi in black stepping in from outside. He knew Han Huanzhi, but Han Huanzhi didn't know him.

"Mr. Han."

Song Mouyuan waved his hand to Han Huanzhi, greeted him seriously, and expressed his intention to not come over.

Han Huanzhi held on with his footsteps and saw the rope tied to the window at first sight.

"Want to die?"

He asked.

"I dare not die."

Song Mouyuan smiled and said, "No one can last for long under Lord Han. I am a literati. I can't stand the pain or the pain. Maybe I can't take a stick of incense for a short time. Think about it, it should be a very embarrassed look. Just like you are like you now, this is not what I think you should have. Your beard is so long and your clothes are a little wrinkled. It's not like Han Huazhi at all. I can't be like you, both dead and alive, both."

After saying this, he put the rope around his neck and jumped out of the window, and his people hung on the window, shaking.

Han Huanzhi rushed forward, and he was hung on the third floor.

He was even demonstrating to Han Suzhi even when he died.

It was not the rope trap that killed Song Mouyuan. Even if Han Huanzhi was hanging on the third floor, he had enough ability to rush up and rescue him. He just wanted Han Huanzhi to experience what failure was once again. He put on the rope trap and jumped out by himself was really just a demonstration. It was also a sarcasm, a ridicule, and even the final dignity.

He took the poison first, but the poison was no longer cured.

Nalan Xiaodi looked panicked and uneasy: "Weizhi should take his first."

Han Huanzhi shook his head: "He is so anxious to die Mu Zhaotong should still be in Yunxiao City."

Han Huanzhi turned around and walked out: "Check carefully within three miles of this inn, checking from house to house. Even if Mu Zhaotong can't find out, he can find out something else. Such a person cannot live in Ruyi Inn for no reason and take everyone in the inn back for investigation."
