Chapter 2062 [Shangxie]
The army's original resting place was not here. The emperor changed his mind at the last minute and chose to set up camp at the foot of Taixu Mountain.
When the soldiers began to set up camp, the emperor did not help as usual. After getting off his horse, he stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the tall mountains in a daze.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun had not yet dissipated, and the crimson colors were like ink splashed on the horizon, covering the wilderness and the red-robed emperor standing upright. They were obviously warm colors, but at this moment, many soldiers passing by glanced at this side, but they inexplicably felt that the silent silhouette was full of loneliness.
It was not until a long time later that Lian Tang came forward and quietly reminded the emperor that it was time for dinner. He came back to his senses, but did not respond to the topic. Instead, he flicked his sleeves and said,
"I suddenly feel like drinking. Let's go up the mountain and take a look. There might still be Nan Ke in the tomb."
After saying this, the emperor walked up the mountain. Lian Tang had no choice but to follow him, but in his heart he thought,
"It's obvious that he wanted to see the things that reminded him of someone, and he even used the excuse of wanting to drink."
Naturally, he didn't dare to say this out loud. He just turned around and gave Qingze a wink as an explanation. The master and the servant quickly disappeared on the path up the mountain.

Mount Taixu is not difficult to climb, but he was sick last time and it took him a lot of effort and time to climb the mountain, but this time it didn't take that much time.
In just the time it took to stick up an incense stick, the two of them had already reached the top of the mountain.
Before the two men could even land firmly on their feet, the mighty mountain wind blew straight into their faces.
Although Changsun Chi had taken Yushengxiang, he still seemed to be afraid of the cold. He tightened his collar in the biting wind all over the mountain, and then slowly walked towards the huge tomb.
The sky gradually darkened, and the thick sunset glow fell very close to the top of the mountain, making the tomb look even more dead gray.
There was a sturdy old tree beside the wide platform. He paused slightly as he passed by, but it seemed that he brushed past a sword-holding girl whom he had first met that day.
Green leaves swayed slowly in the wind. He stopped in front of the chessboard in front of the tomb. The chessboard was covered with dust. After two seasons of wind and sun, the chess pieces were cracked with dry seams - after all, there was no one keeper who would remember to carry the chessboard into the tomb every day. The dead object that could not move could only wait to be eroded by time.
The emperor's slender fingers rubbed across the mottled chessboard, and he stepped into the tomb.
The tomb was very spacious, and the sound of footsteps echoed back and forth, leaving only a very dim light when the sunset outside the stone door seeped in, casting a blurry shadow over the entire tomb.
Chang Sun Chi walked past two empty outer rooms and finally saw a place with a bed that could barely be called a bedroom - it was really just a stretch.
Because there was nothing in this room except a bed - this was probably where Xia Fuyi had slept for five years.
Chang Sun Chi paused, his heart, which had been as strong as black iron and impervious to fire and water for so many years, suddenly felt suffocated and a little breathless.
He looked around but couldn't find even a candlestick. He didn't know what kind of mentality a little girl had in her mind to spend five whole years in darkness.
Changsun Chi sat down on the bed covered with a thick layer of dust. After sitting down, he realized that the bed was actually a layer of bedding spread on a stone platform, and it was extremely hard.
He was so angry that he almost laughed, and he wanted to pull the inconsiderate old man out of the field and give him a good beating.
But it's just a delusion after all.
