Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 146 The Promised Parting... (44)

The fire shone at night, and it was not until the next day that the Bei'an Army completely extinguished the fire.

But almost the entire inner city was burnt to the ground. If one looked down from above, one might only see a piece of scorched blackness, without the slightest trace of the prosperity of the past.

Su Yuan himself came to the capital for the first time, so it didn't matter whether it was prosperous or not. What made him feel distressed was the innocent people who were burned to death.They didn't do anything, and they suffered this indiscriminate disaster. On the contrary, it was the princes and nobles, who ran away quickly after setting the fire.

At this moment, Su Yuan and Zhou Shu were standing in front of the palace, looking at the ruins.

Zhou Shu has a complex expression. The place where she grew up in the past has been burned...the gorgeous pavilions, palaces, and exquisite gardens, everything is gone, and the only thing left is scorched earth and some burnt black stone pillars.

There are also a large number of charred corpses, which are undoubtedly those eunuchs and maids who had no time to escape. Looking at some charred corpses with blackened long knives, they are probably some guards with knives.

This is enough to see the haste of the evacuation, many things and people, there is no time to escape together.

And these people who were burned to death may not even have the qualifications to escape.On those two big ships, even if there was space for the belongings of the royal family and nobles, there was no room for these lowly status people.

Zhou Shu couldn't hide her sadness. Even though she didn't like the palace, it was the place where she grew up after all, so she still had complicated feelings.

She turned her head to look at Su Yuan. The latter looked indifferent, and there seemed to be a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't you feel sorry?" She asked.

"It's a pity, what a pity." Su Yuan stared at the large ruins, speaking with disdain. "Even if the palace doesn't burn down, I don't intend to live in such a luxurious place."

"..."

It's not that Su Yuan doesn't like to enjoy, but he absolutely can't bear the emperor's life full of eunuchs and maids serving him.Even if one day he really proclaims himself emperor, he won't set up a palace or a group of people to serve him.

"I think it's a pity, only those burned houses. I don't think it's a pity at all, but this imperial palace." Su Yuandao, "It doesn't matter if it is burned, even if Qingxiang doesn't burn it, I have to destroy it."

Zhou Shu looked at him: "Do you hate everything about the royal family so much?"

"That's right." Su Yuan admitted without hesitation, "But I don't hate everything about the royal family, I hate all those who like to bully others. And the royal family is the best of them."

"...I am also a royal."

"But you have turned your back on the dark and turned to the bright." Su Yuan looked at her, "And I don't think you used to bully others like other royals before. You don't have that kind of personality."

Zhou Shu was silent. She had never done that kind of thing, but she always felt a little strange to admit it.

"What will happen in the future." She looked away, as if she was asking Su Yuan, but also herself.

"I don't know." Su Yuan said, "But we should all get better and better, happier and happier, and the capital city will also get better and better, and it will have real prosperity that belongs to everyone, not what it used to be. , a prosperity that only belongs to a small number of people. I really believe that this will come true, how about you, do you believe it too?"

"...Mmm." Zhou Shu nodded slightly and made a vague sound.

She admitted in her heart that Su Yuan's words of "happy and happy" made her a little embarrassed.

At this point, she admired Su Yuan very much, because Su Yuan would not care about some strange words.He didn't seem to avoid some topics just because he was embarrassed.Instead, she said whatever was on her mind. She had almost only seen immature children be so romantic.

"Prosperity is like smoke, and it will dissipate in a moment."

At this time, a slightly emotional voice sounded, Zhen Miao didn't know when it came, and walked to the side of the two.

She looked at the ruined imperial palace, and said something that caught Su Yuan off guard: "Xiao Yuan, you have occupied the capital now. According to the agreement, I should leave too."

Su Yuan's heart twitched slightly, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

This is indeed what the two of them agreed on before, and now Su Yuan can be regarded as "full-winged".He has an army of hundreds of thousands, Zhao Yun who is a master master, Li Yuanba who is born with supernatural power, and plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum who can unite sword arrays.

This lineup was already considered luxurious, and it was almost impossible for ordinary assassins to injure him again.

These Su Yuan knew in his heart that he had long thought that this moment would come, and he expected that he would say some words of retention.But now, when this moment really came, he found it very difficult to say anything, and he couldn't say anything.

Zhou Shu wisely walked away, but she still couldn't help but look at Su Yuan. The blank expression on his face was something she had never seen before.

She had seen Su Yuan happy, angry, sad, confident, and all kinds of expressions, but she had never seen this kind of blankness.It's like suddenly losing a very important thing, and I don't know what to do.

"There is a fate between gathering and parting, maybe you and I will meet again someday."

After Zhen Miao finished speaking to Su Yuan, he raised his footsteps slightly, and Su Yuan finally spoke.

"Can you not go?"

"..."

"Cultivation, why do you have to go to the barren land?" Su Yuan was a little at a loss, "I mean, the capital city, or Taiyuan, can be used for cultivation. I can guarantee that no one will disturb you."

Zhen Miao said: "Xiao Yuan, why do you say these things, it will only increase your troubles."

"Because I feel that if I don't say it, I will definitely regret it in the future." Su Yuan said, "'Getting together and parting is destined', what if there is no fate? If there is no goodbye, I will only rot these words in my heart for the rest of my life. "

"..."

"I don't know if you have been to the capital, Grand Master. This is the first time for me. Although it is a bit messy here, I believe that it will be prosperous soon after cleaning it up. No, it is more prosperous than before! I still think, It's time to go shopping together, eat some special food, and then..."

Su Yuan's palm suddenly turned slightly cold, and he stopped his words.

He looked down, and in the palm of his right hand, there was a small light blue sword, which was almost as long as a finger knuckle. The hand was smooth and cold, and it was unknown what kind of material it was.

"It is the 'fate' between you and me." Zhen Miao's slightly sentimental voice fell, and her body had turned into a wisp of green smoke and gradually dispersed.

Su Yuan suddenly plucked up his courage and shouted: "Where should I find you!"

The voice was heard far away, but there was no response.

He gradually lowered his gaze, looking at the small sword in his palm.

At this time, as if he couldn't bear that he could not get an answer, a really faint voice came from a very far away place, and there was only one place name that Su Yuan had never heard before.

"Qingxuan Mountain."

"Qingxuan Mountain, Qingxuan Mountain..."

Su Yuan repeated the name several times, engraved it deeply in his heart, and will never forget it.

"I will find you." He whispered, as if talking to himself, and as if making a real promise.
