The sound of the wooden fish does not stop. The rest is only the sound of breathing.

This is Duan Chengxuan's second step into the yard behind his mother.

He can't forgive his mother for treating her two sons as chess pieces for her own selfish desire, let alone for her brother Duan Cong not to have any soft spots, but to remove the soft spots named Yujun and yunqi directly.

In particular, she always believed that she was right. Even though she was full of blood and lies, she still dared to stand in front of the Buddha and pray for blessings.

The Empress Dowager seemed to feel the arrival of her only son, sitting on a futon and slowly opening her eyes.

"What's the matter?"

Light two words, Duan Chengxuan but heard a grievance from them.

He waved his sleeves and stepped forward. Instead of looking at the mother, he just looked at the Buddha standing in front of him. His royal robe was also eclipsed before the pure gold Buddha. Only his eyes reflected the Buddha's light and sparkled: "the mother told Dongfang xuan'er the secret way in the palace?"

The Empress Dowager just sneered coldly: "why should I tell a person of Dongfang family? I've never been in a country, but I'm also the emperor's head. How can such a curfew learn from me? "

Duan Chengxuan looks at his white haired mother with a complicated look, but it seems that he is looking at a criminal swindler: "you have killed yunqi and abandoned her two children. Now, do you want the child to give up her?"

"Beauty is a curse to you. Is it for you to grow up with the mourning family that you are addicted to beauty?" The Empress Dowager suddenly stood up from the cattail, and without the support of mother GUI, she could only stagger and stabilize her body, pointing to Duan Chengxuan's nose and shaking: "you are born to be royal children, born to fight with brothers!"

"But I don't want to..."

"What if you don't want to?" The Empress Dowager glared at Duan Chengxuan, but Duan Chengxuan was always a child: "the world treads on rivers and mountains, but this huge imperial palace, prosperous Tianyan, is your cage. Only when you take responsibility and abandon love, can you climb to a high position and get out!"

"The mourner is just teaching you to live well! What's wrong! "

When it comes to the urgency, the Empress Dowager has already shed tears. Seeing Duan Chengxuan's eyes, she is always cruel. She steps forward: "don't you think about why I am called Tianyan, the capital of canglan?"

"The world all says, ice and charcoal different utensils, water and fire are not allowed, so named contrary, why?"

For Duan Chengxuan, these are just two places, and the site of Yancheng is here. I think it should be the name given by the ancestors of Yun family. It's so sloppy. I don't think it means much.

However, the Empress Dowager came forward, holding the string of Buddha beads in her hand, and looked at him.

"Tianyan city is what Duan's royal family lied to, but it was not the property of Duan's royal family at that time." With a sneer, the Empress Dowager looked at her still ignorant son and said in a deep voice, "it's your ancestor who cheated from Yu's ancestor of Yunshi. In those days, yunqi was all a genius of heaven. When Fang came to Tianyan, she got tangled up with your brother. Do you really think they came to talk about love?"

Duan Chengxuan frowned: "that's what happened in the past."

"In those days, when the emperor let the cloud family leave, do you think it's just for Yujun and yunqi?" The smile on the Empress Dowager's face was contemptuous. She took out a small wooden box from the dark lattice. Although the wooden box was exquisite and luxurious, it seemed to be an antique. There were several pieces of soft leather in it, which printed the old story: "there has never been such a thing as the scourge of fire in the world, only poisons are everywhere, and thousands of people have died or injured..."

"When you have seen this clearly, come and say to the mourners, where and why did the Yunshi and Yushi come from?"

The voice fell, the Empress Dowager collected all the looks on her face and sat back on the futon.

Duan Chengxuan is holding the small wooden box in his hand, just telling people to stare at Dongfang xuan'er's every move. Today's mother and empress are changing their topic too fast. They are more suspicious if they want to come to Dongfang xuan'er.

But it doesn't matter what the mother said today about the fire, but in the final analysis, it's also the reason to understand what the elder brother did today and to find the person behind him to do so.

Can wait to see these pieces of soft leather thoroughly, Duan Chengxuan's face sinks like water to call Zhang Liangshan, ask him: "has Yan'er ever had a dream of fire and wedding before?"

In Zhang Liangshan's careful recollection, there was one time indeed, but Gu Mingyan was still vague when he talked about it, and didn't say too many details. I have to nod my head to know it.

His face changed to let him go, Duan Chengxuan's eyes fell at the end of those soft skins.

Compared with the wild history handed down in the marketplace, it is the authentic soft skin with the emblem of Duan's royal family engraved on it.

Yunshi and Yushi were both the main and collateral branches of the same clan. Their ancestors established the place of vicissitudes, not as a country, but as a kind of alien in the wild.

Yu family is mostly a woman who is good at poison and medicine. She looks at the sky and the earth. She was once called canglan witch.

However, most of the Yuns are men with strong bones, strong martial arts and expanding territory.

And the two families are neither you nor me, nor exclusive. In those days, they recruited many talented people and different scholars, and beat down the first river and mountain in today's Yancheng.

On the other hand, Duan's royal family, before the coming of the fire disaster, was just Japanese pirates in the mountains. They did many things that could not be seen. Later, they were promoted because of the contributions of canglan. They were also brave and good at fighting. They were actually the leaders of Yunshi and Yushi.

"It's ridiculous..."

The jade family of the cloud family is the main one. It has been 400 years, but these have not been handed down.

How can there be no trace?

Duan Chengxuan nervously picked up something and then folded it back to the yard of his mother's mother, but saw that she was already sitting in the hall, holding two cups of tea, as if knowing that he would come back to find himself.

Hold back all servants, Duan Chengxuan smashes several pieces of soft leather on the desk.

"How can a dynasty of 400 years leave no trace in history?"

"Because the whole canglan people are dead."

The Empress Dowager looked at Duan Chengxuan calmly, and her face changed again and again: "why don't you believe it after reading it?"

Said, the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand, pulled out the soft skin, and spread it out on the desk. The people in the picture were like being in the fire. The skin burned by the fire rolled away from the blood. People were all crawling and crying. But on the high platform in the middle, only two people were holding each other in the fire.

Duan Chengxuan only thinks that this picture is very similar to Gu Mingyan's dream.

"It's always a fake."

The Empress Dowager turned over the soft skin. The words on the back were already unclear. Duan Chengxuan could also see those simple words.

Purgatory, poison man, butcher, burn.

"The man of the cloud family was killed, and the woman of the jade family was drawn into the sea of fire to sacrifice to heaven."
