Prison Dragon

Chapter 149

"Without the Yang family, there will be civil strife for a few years at most, and then other people will lead the world to move forward. Rebuilding after destruction is always much easier than reforming on rotten roots, and it will be easier to do well."

Yang You seemed to understand, "So, once you loosen the formation that binds you, Qi will end immediately, right?"

Ao Chen said regretfully, "Maybe you were born hundreds of years earlier, and there is still room for turning around, but unfortunately there is no way to save it now."

"Of course." At that moment, Ao Chen's eyes seemed to be burning with a little fiery warmth, which was immediately covered by the black Shen Yuan, "You can not let me go, and then do what you want. I don't know if we can save Qi Guo , but at least the Yang family can stay on the throne for more time. It's just not too long."

"That's what I'm hiding from you, Yang You, tell me, after knowing this, will you let me go?"

Ao Chen asked him.

Yang You didn't speak any more, turned around in silence, laughed dryly a few times, then covered his face with his hands and sighed deeply, he said dejectedly, "I don't know."

"I don't know, Ao Chen, how do you want me to choose?" Yang You asked, "If I lose the foundation of my ancestors, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors? There are also hundreds of officials in the court, and the people of the world. I don’t know how many people will die in the flames of war. Although according to what you said, there will be a new emperor to establish a new dynasty, but those who died will die forever.”

"So?" Ao Chen asked with a smile.

Yang You walked a few steps with his back turned, "I don't know..."

This was the hardest decision he ever made.

Just when Yang You was thinking hard about this choice, Ao Chen suddenly stepped forward and patted him on the back, "Difficult?"

He grabbed Yang You's waist, making Yang You unable to move. He approached him from behind, leaned into his ear and said, "It's okay, anyway, you can't find the formation eye, so you don't have to choose."

found it.

I think I may have found it.

Yang You wanted to open his mouth to say everything he saw in the ice room, but his words were swallowed again.

He turned to say, "Because the formation is difficult to solve, you don't care if I help you?"

"Yeah." Ao Chen shrugged and smiled relaxedly, "Anyway, so many people haven't found it, so you just try it casually, why bother to make trouble with you over a matter with little hope? Maybe my life is How about this? It is destined to be entangled with the Yang family."

Yang You's eyebrows moved, and he blinked desperately to hide his emotions, "That's right..."

"I didn't understand very well before." Ao Chen hugged him into his arms, "God's life is too long, and he can have everything, so he won't miss anything. Thinking about it now, people seem to have many things that they can't give up. Power, responsibility...sometimes I am too strong."

Yang You held his hand, his ears felt hot, he gritted his teeth hard not to reveal his feelings.

Ao Chen squeezed his palm with his backhand, "Why is it so cold and sweaty? It's usually quite warm."

"Nothing!" Yang You quickly withdrew his hand, turned to face him, and said calmly, "Can I change the fate of the country? Didn't you say that I have a dragon spirit, so can I change the fate of the country? Can you wait?" After I cure Qi, I can let you go, so that the world will not be in turmoil, and you can be free."

The smile on the corner of Ao Chen's mouth became extremely shallow, and finally disappeared, but Yang You just stared into his eyes and missed this expression.

Ao Chen said lightly, "Really, how many years will it take?"

"I... I don't know, but when that day comes, I will definitely untie the formation on your body." Yang You said, he was afraid that Ao Chen would not believe it, so he emphasized it again, "You believe me."

"Yang You," Ao Chen touched his face with the back of his hand, "You have always been soft-hearted, I thought you were soft-hearted all the time."

He talked and laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "You just want me to stay, I understand, you are afraid that I will leave you one day. But you don't have to make excuses for what you want to do, just say it Why promise me a future of nothingness?"

Yang You immediately wanted to deny it, but couldn't speak in Ao Chen's quiet eyes. Was he really just thinking about Qi?

Or is it mixed with his personal affair?

Ao Chen's identity and everything Ao Chen was involved in were too complicated for him to make a decision at all.

It's not about making a right or wrong decision, but the decision itself is a painful thing for Yang You.

"You know," Yang You said, he heard his voice hoarse, trembling slightly in the air, stating his feeble justification, "For so many years, people around me have come and gone, and the only one who has been with me is always several……"

"Okay." Ao Chen pressed his index finger on his lips, indicating that he didn't need to explain, Ao Chen smiled softly and dotingly, "It's very late, I have to go to court tomorrow, go back and rest."

He yawned as he said, "I'm also a little bit out of energy, I have to go back and have a good rest."

Yang You didn't expect that he didn't want to listen any more, he looked closely at Ao Chen's expression, but found that it was the same as usual, and he wasn't sure what Ao Chen was thinking, but he had already said to see off the guests, so it was inconvenient for Yang You to pester him any more. .

Just thinking about the two people who were still lingering during the day, but became a little strange at night, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, nodded and turned to leave, "Then you have a good rest."

Although Yang You didn't understand how Ao Chen should rest.

He had just walked a few steps, turned around inadvertently, Ao Chen's figure had disappeared, only the faint water mist remaining on the lake surface lingered in the air, silently returning to silence.

Yang You didn't have to hide from others anymore, he walked back with a lantern and met a patrolling eunuch on the way.

The emperor didn't sleep at night, but wandered around in the palace. Although he had said Qingming, it was still a bit cold in the spring. This man didn't have a crown prince yet. If he hurt his body, no one could afford it.

The eunuchs surrounded him and returned to the bedroom, but instead woke Ruifang who was sleeping soundly.

Ruifang waited on him to fall asleep, while berating herself for being careless.

Yang You, who was usually able to comfort with gentle words, was silent as usual, lying on the bed and quietly closing his eyes.

Ruifang didn't speak anymore, and quietly withdrew.

Yang You closed his eyes and lay flat on the bed without moving, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.He seems to have returned to the time when Yang Mi just left more than ten years ago, anxious, terrified, confused and at a loss.

Reason made him choose to stabilize the throne, but conscience forced him to release Ao Chen.

The two thoughts were water and fire, and the flames scorched his heart, and from time to time he was poured with a ladle of cold water, which made his whole body tremble.

If he was not a person who kept his promise, he would not have to suffer such torture.

But he is, and he regards commitment as the standard of being human.

Long before Ruifang got up to call him, Yang You opened his eyes. He seemed to be thinking a lot, but at the same time he seemed to be thinking about nothing.

Lu Shanjian submitted the latest papers. According to her, the reform of the imperial examination system seems to be quite effective. In Hebei Prefecture alone, half of the newly recruited scholars are from poor families.

Shangluo seemed to have some complaints about this, and he sighed sadly, how can these people become the pillars of the country in the future.

Yang You said with a smile, "When you enter school and become an official, there is always a way to exercise."

Afterwards, they discussed some matters concerning Nongsang. Now that Zhuo Xinhong was in the Ministry of War, he finally wrote a letter saying that Yang Yuchun had been injured during the war. It happened that spring had arrived, and the Turkic offensive was not so tight, so he wanted to return to the capital to recuperate.

Yang You agreed, and asked him to inspect the defense along the way on the way back.

After the court, he deliberately left Yang Xiu to speak alone.

Yang Xiu's inspectors are almost gone, and only a few of them are left to investigate the situation at the border. He thought he would be an idler in the future, and it would be fine to tell Yang You the border information every day. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu Yu suddenly stopped him.

"Your Majesty," he saluted respectfully.

Hundreds of officials in the Xuanzheng Palace dispersed, and they went to court almost without interruption for 800 years, polishing the golden lapis lazuli floor so that it can be seen from others.

Yang You tied up the long dragon robe, stepped off the high platform, and stood beside Yang Xiu, "I want you to do me a favor, this matter cannot be told to anyone."

Yang Xiu nodded in agreement.

Yang You led him to find the beams and pillars at the entrance of the ice room. The wound on his index finger had just scabbed with blood. He frowned and tore off the dark red scab. Rotten in the stomach, no one can know."

Yang Xiu looked at his dignified expression, and suddenly realized that Yang You was doing a top-secret matter with him, he knelt down on his knees, kowtowed, "I understand."

"Get up." Yang You said, dotting the dragon's eyes with the blood from his index finger.

A hole immediately appeared at his feet, Yang Xiu was stunned.

Judging by his appearance, it is obvious that he can also see it.

Yang You pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "Go in."

Yang Xiu looked at him uncertainly, "Your Majesty, I'm going to explore the way first."

He looked around, Yang You had dismissed all the palace people, and even closed the doors and windows of the Xuanzheng Hall, and said that no matter what noise they heard, they should not open the door or come in.

Yang Xiu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, Yang You wouldn't set a trap to kill him, right?

is it possible?Probably not, he had no conflict with Yang You, Yang You didn't even kill an idiot like Yang Lun, why bother to kill him, a smart person?

He looked at Yang You's expression, Yang You, who was gentle even when he was not smiling, was surprisingly indifferent today.

He was suddenly a little uncertain.

But Yang You gave the order, "Go in."

Yang Xiu bit the bullet and walked down from the entrance of the cave, and Yang You followed him a few steps behind.

Strangely, as soon as he stepped into the cave, Yang Xiu, who was walking in front, disappeared, and even the sound of his footsteps was blocked.

This place is getting more and more mysterious...

Yang You quickened his pace and walked to the end of the passage. He didn't know what kind of formation he had passed through. Like last time, he stepped on the huge ice.

The blood he let out last night has disappeared, and the pattern on it has also disappeared. Yang You reached out and touched it, but there was no trace left. He leaned closer to his face and looked carefully. It was the place covered by his blood. The white color became somewhat transparent, with only a thin layer, and Yang You didn't know what it meant.

At this time, Yang Xiu's voice came from far below.

"Your Majesty, where are you?"
