The biggest difference between humans and Tao is that humans are sentimental while Tao is ruthless.

Even if a man kills a god and the music and songs are played on the great road, the passage of time will not slow down at all.

Night came as promised, and the snow continued.

Baidi Palace and Lingbo Palace were as warm as spring. Thousands of lamps were lit around the entire outer palace, just like daytime.

Under the swaying lights, there were two people, grandma and grandson. The old queen did not cover herself with a silk quilt and rest on the recliner as usual. Instead, she walked around the hall with her hands behind her hands, watching the slow burning in front of her.

of candlelight.

Zhao Yu was accompanying the old man, still wearing the sky-reaching crown on his head, and between his eyebrows under the twelve cicada patterns were three lines of bright red cinnabar blood, which just formed a flower shape and looked like a kitten.

He stretched out his hand and lightly touched his forehead.

"Yu'er, now that you have reached adulthood, according to Bactrian law, you can be considered an adult. Do you think there is any difference?"

The old queen mother paused in front of a red candle, and a faint voice sounded.

Zhao Yu was startled for a moment, and then responded: "The rest is not different, I just feel that the burden on my shoulders is heavier, and there is also the Kuchayuan where my grandson lived a few days ago. I'm afraid he won't be able to go back.

.”

"The reason why the crown is so important for our men in Daxia is because they will grow up overnight, and growing up means loss and sacrifice."

The old queen mother turned around, looked kindly at the grandson in front of her, whom she didn't know much about, smiled kindly, and then continued:

"Your grandfather Ji Guan is about the same age as you. He and your master joined Ji Guan together. The two of them secretly competed for a long time over the prey that Ji Guan hunted. They thought it was quite interesting at the time. But the day after Ji Guan,

He left Whale Island for a full twenty years. During these twenty years, I would stand on the pier of the island every day, watching the sun rise from the sky, waiting for him until the entire clan

He didn't even come for the relocation, I've been waiting for him for twenty years."

There was a look of reminiscence in the eyes of the old queen mother, and Zhao Yu was pinching her heart. The image of the most beautiful woman in the world seemed to appear in his mind. With the rising sun every day, he looked up into the distance, dreaming.

Waiting.

Then the old man in front of Zhao Yu suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of sweetness in his voice.

"But what is supposed to come will come. I finally waited for him. At the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, he led the Fourth Army to open the way with a full five-meter mark. Millions of troops have been stretching for 800 miles to marry me. He said that he would build a whole

The most powerful city in Daxia allowed me to live in it, so grandma, I am the first person to step into this sacred city."

"Grandpa, what kind of person is he?" Zhao Yu asked in the wide hall.

"He is a person that people are willing to wait for. After your grandfather disappeared, grandma and I have been waiting for him for nearly forty years. Counting the time before, grandma, I have been waiting for him for half my life."

"I think it's not good for him to do that. I don't like that." The young man's voice was still so steady, but there was a hint of disapproval.

"The feeling of waiting is really not good, so Yu'er, you have to make sure you don't make others wait."

The old queen mother raised her hand and touched Zhao Yu's cheek. Perhaps she was really tired. With Zhao Yu's support, she sat back on the recliner and leaned back gently. A middle-aged palace maid presented her with silk cotton.

Add Xuantian charcoal and then retreat silently.

Zhao Yu covered the old lady with a quilt, and then sat down around her. The old lady held his hand, with seriousness in her eyes, and spoke softly:

"But Yu'er, you have to understand that when you wear this crown, it means that you are different from others. Everything is no longer your own business, but the whole world's business, so you must be a good emperor.

It’s not easy. The higher you are in a high position, the more things you have to do. I don’t blame your grandpa. Before he left, he once said that the human race will never lack a king, but there is no emperor. He needs a greater one, and the king only needs him.

Fight for the country, and the emperor will shed the last drop of blood for the human race."

Zhao Yu said no more, and the entire Lingbo Hall fell into silence. Only the candlelight shone on the beautiful faces of an old man and a young man. After a long time, the old queen's inaudible voice of inquiry was heard:

"Do you blame grandma?"

Zhao Yu heard it, so he shook his head slightly and responded:

"In the end, it is my own choice and has nothing to do with grandma."

"That's good."

The old queen mother responded softly, then closed her eyes slightly, opened her lips and made a steady sound.

Zhao Yu sat quietly beside the old man in silence. After half a stick of incense, he stood up and left. He walked outside the palace and let the palace maid put the dark golden phoenix dance cloak behind her. She opened the palace door and walked into the snowflakes.

He actually wanted to ask the old queen a question, but he hesitated and finally put it back in his mind.

On the snow at the entrance of the palace, rows of palace maids and eunuchs were already kneeling and waiting. Farther away, there were groups of soldiers waiting in formation. After Zhao Yu put on the Heavenly Crown, he was the real person of the entire Baidi Palace.

's owner.

Parked in the snow was a majestic and luxurious carriage, pulled by Xiao Huang, a mighty dragon horse with golden scales and double horns. Next to the carriage stood a burly figure with a bald head and an umbrella.

.

Liang Po walked up to Zhao Yu, raised an umbrella to support the latter's head, covering the sky of goose feathers, and then asked, his voice was mellow and magnetic.

"Your Highness, should we go back to Xia Palace to rest?"

"No, leave Xuanwu Gate and go to the wilderness two hundred miles away."

Zhao Yu got into the carriage and Xiao Huang neighed and drove towards the outside of Baidi Palace.

At this time, the four gates of Shenjing City have been raised, and no one is allowed to enter or exit again, but this is not enough to hinder Zhao Yu, because he is already the lord of the entire Great Xia.

Half an hour after Zhao Yu left, the old queen mother opened her eyes from the recliner, half-supported her body, and said calmly to the front:

"Come here, prepare the carriage, I'm going to Feishuang Palace."

At the same time, in an extremely simple small courtyard near the central part of Shenjing City, a figure was wearing a simple coat, standing hunched under the eaves, looking at an old locust tree wrapped in silver in front of him, and coughing from time to time.

A few sounds.

"You are paving the way for the next generation, and so am I, including Yu Kong, who is also trying to change a way of life for the next generation. Then let's see who can dominate the ups and downs of this new era that has just begun. And Xiuyu Lao

Madam, you are in the light and I am in the dark, how long do you have to live, and I am far younger than you."

A middle-aged female voice came from the inner room, interrupting the figure's thoughts.

"Ms. sir, please go back to the inner room quickly. Tomorrow is expected to be very busy, so it's better to rest early."
