Late at night, the emperor's palace.

A heartbreaking coughing sound was heard, followed by the rustling sound of the palace maid's soft shoes on the ground. However, after only taking a few steps, she was suddenly shouted back by a hoarse but majestic voice.<

/p>

In the floor-to-ceiling shot, only a few pairs of little feet can be seen retreating in panic with a small sound of apology, and then the screen keeps moving upwards and forwards, as if an eye penetrates through the layers of curtains, until it sees the sick-looking man.

The lonely emperor just stopped.

Li Zhi's appearance was even more terrifying than before. The heavy bags under his eyes hung under his cold and sharp eyes. No matter how domineering he was, he still lacked a trace of vigor. His loose and weak skin added a bit of fatigue, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of the old lion, although he was once the overlord, he had to bow his head under the encroachment of time.

He stood up from the bed extremely slowly, the vigilance in his eyes not diminishing at all.

Since ancient times, it is difficult for emperors to live long. In modern times, this king who is nearly fifty years old is only middle-aged, but under the current background, he has aged as if he is an octogenarian. He can only be vaguely seen when he is wrapped in a robe and dusted off.

The heroic spirit of leading troops in the past.

Li Zhi walked towards the Dragon-carved Round Table step by step, his pace was slow but steady, as if he was proving to the audience outside the screen that he still had the strength to fight. If a fight really broke out, he didn't know how many times a certain young eagle would be scratched by his sharp claws.

A scar.

He touched the edge of the table, sat down slowly, and fumbled to pick up the teapot on the table.

Another hand suddenly appeared, with delicate and firm skin, smooth and slender fingers, flexible knuckles, and effortless curling and stretching.

Qin Feiyan, who is similar in age but has a physical appearance that seems to have never left any trace of time, takes the teapot from Li Zhi's hand and pours two cups in a cup.

Li Zhi did not raise his head, but just stared at the two hands carefully, as if he couldn't see enough.

When Qin Feiyan flicked his fingers and the half-full tea cup was transferred to his hand, Li Zhi made a trembling, muddy throat sound and let out a few dumb laughs:

"You're here."

……

The arrogant emperor really paid the price for his previous delusion. He also received intelligence today that the prince was drinking tea with others on the roadside in casual clothes. Before this, Li Zhe sat alone in the room more often. The reason is true.

Not hard to guess.

Li Zhi fell into silence, feeling a faint panic in his heart just like his son. As members of the royal family, their bloodline, temperament and even looks made the differences between Li Zhi and Li Zhe become shallow, and the latter was obviously

He has the greatest qualification that cannot be easily erased - that is youth.

He is young, as young as Li Zhi back then.

People always love themselves the most, and on this basis, Li Zhi also hates people who are too similar to himself. The few happy memories he has in this life are only that glorious summer, and the swallows flying under the scorching sun. He looked at Li Zhi.

Zhegan

He cannot receive any inheritance of flesh and blood, nor does he have the joy and pride of his father in his offspring. On the contrary, he is afraid that "another self" will replace him, and from now on there will be no trace of "Li Zhi" in the world.

Li Zhi thought this was what frightened him the most.

But things are unpredictable. He looked deeply at Qin Feiyan in front of him. After all these years, his best friend still looks like this, so beautiful that even men are shocked.

He had everything Li Zhi yearned for, including freedom; while Li Zhi only had an extremely short summer, a time of arrogance and dissoluteness, a memory he held in his palm and chewed carefully in his dream.

If, if even this swallow no longer has the existence of "Li Zhi" in his heart, then he will really die invisible and invisible, like the thin snow in Nancheng, white and white, just waiting to be transformed by the sun.

All that was left was emptiness.

He was clearly afraid of this the most, but for a moment he was confused and held his swallow in his hands and flew towards his younger self.

"Regret?"

Qin Feiyan seemed to see through the scars on Li Zhi's heart and sneered softly.

Li Zhi remained silent.

"You two, father and son, are exactly the same." Qin Feiyan wanted to say the words that he was most afraid of hearing, "You worry that I will stand on his side; he doesn't want me to stand on your side. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

How could there be such a boring thing!"

Li Zhi slowly turned the tea cup. Although he was deep in thought, his silence made him look embarrassed.

Qin Feiyan lay on the tea table and closed her eyes like a naughty boy in school.

He also had thousands of things to say, but every word he said would only cause trouble, so he kept silent.

Just like he persuaded Li Zhi to let go, pass the throne peacefully, and then live in seclusion to recuperate, and then travel with him all over the world... Can he persuade Li Zhi? Can Li Zhi listen?

Not to mention that Qin Feiyan himself is a person who is in jail and has been unable to let go. For him to persuade others to be free and easy is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.

In this way, he could only stay beside him quietly, closing his eyes and not looking at his declining appearance. Only when the time turned back and stopped forever in that midsummer, two young boys put their arms around each other and sang loudly all the way.

Clear skies.

"I... understand you better than he does."

For a moment, Li Zhi seemed to be shaking his hands to pull out a little bit of his unique advantage from countless memories, and said in a low voice.

Qin Feiyan, who was pretending to be asleep, smiled slightly.

"If you understand me, there are troubles that you understand; if you don't understand me, there are troubles that you don't understand."

He whispered and buried his face in his arms, then finally raised his body and looked at the person opposite.

"Come on, why are you bothering me with 'understanding me'?"

Li Zhi looked at him and saw his aging face reflected in those pink eyes, so he subconsciously looked away due to the clarity in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, not afraid to tell Qin Feiyan what he was thinking and his men's plans, so the idle man opposite him seemed to be listening to someone's words, and he listened to the chaotic fights and undercurrents for a long time.

[How cruel, these father and son set up undercover agents for each other...]

[Although no specific plot was filmed, Li Zhi’s acting skills are really good. The emperor’s narration gave me a cold sweat]

[Li Zhe is still too young. How did he collude with the barbarians? His father who recruited An Wulin knows all about it]

[However, this situation is still very obvious. To put it bluntly, Li Zhi simply cannot afford it]

【Indeed】

[If Li Zhe wasn't in such a hurry, he could drag Li Zhi slowly into the coffin. Wouldn't the throne still belong to him?]

[Not necessarily, even if Li Zhi is so ill, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. How do you know that he can't seek medical advice and risk his life]

[Wait, seek medical advice]

[Oops, isn’t this the plot where Qin Feiyan comes to find Su Su?! That’s too shitty!!]

【No way...】

[I don’t think so. If Qin Feiyan had this intention, she would not have said goodbye to Su Su]

[And even if Su Su is the daughter of a miracle doctor, she can’t bring her back to life like this]

【A bit weird.】

[I feel that Qin Feiyan is very contradictory. On the one hand, he seems to accept that people are born, old, sick and die, so he will not forcefully change Li Zhi's fate; on the other hand, he is emotionally unable to cope with it, so he makes himself extremely uncomfortable]

[What I said earlier makes sense]

[I guess Li Zhi has already sent people to inquire about Jianghu? It is impossible for him to not think of relying on medicine to survive]

[Yeah, but Su Su lived in seclusion with Yao Wang before]

[So what? You can’t blame Qin Feiyan for not telling him, right? Not telling him means not saving him? What kind of moral kidnapping]

[Hey, I really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived]

On both sides of the tea table in the palace, Qin Feiyan listened to Li Zhi talking about his physical condition, and frowned a little impatiently, just like a young man who doesn't want to face a serious illness, and there is a psychological resistance.

But not long after, Li Zhi mentioned the Hucheng Medical Center and said that he asked someone to ask for the medicine. "If the situation is calm, I can still live for a few years."

The eyes and ears of the imperial court are better at collecting information than the scattered people in the world. As the emperor, Li Zhi, even if Qin Feiyan's movements are difficult to find, it is not unusual to find out about Su Su's superb medical skills from many martial arts bigwigs.

Qin Feiyan listened carefully for a while, then raised her eyes and looked at him quietly. She didn't know what she had confirmed, but her expression did not change. She just nodded and said:

"It is also a good thing to live for three to five more years."

Li Zhi chuckled.

He said: "The barbarians have always made a living as nomads, and spring plowing and autumn harvesting have no impact on their march. He is also bold and wants to be caught off guard. If I predict correctly, the war will begin in March and April this year."

Qin Feiyan lowered his eyes and said nothing, and said sarcastically for a while: "The common people are the most innocent, and if they are not lucky enough, they become the souls of the dead in troubled times."

Li Zhi allowed him to ridicule and did not make excuses. He only repeated a few paragraphs of the plan he had just mentioned, and then said: "I have prepared the ordnance to defend the city, but Daxia has many borders with the barbarians. I don't know where the enemy will attack.

Critical juncture."

Qin Feiyan listened silently.

"The officers and soldiers of the Great Xia abide by their duties, but the barbarians are vicious in nature, and it is still unclear whether their actions are under control." When Li Zhi talked about military affairs, he was not as tired as before, and his tone was firm, "Hui Zhi used the power of the barbarian king to introduce troops to the pass, which is true.

Unwise."

Qin Feiyan closed his eyes and sighed: "You just come to take advantage of my weakness again——"

He has lived here for more than twenty years and has far more experience than ordinary people. Even if he doesn't know much about the barbarian king, he is more familiar with the barbarian soldiers than Li Zhi.

Li Zhe was very ambitious. Even though he had every means to convince the barbarians to send troops to assist, Li Zhi was right. Qin Feiyan was really worried about this matter, lest the situation might change. After all, he had friends in all three religions and nine streams, and people with strong martial arts skills could still protect themselves.
