The Gilded Shadows of Orion Ke Chapter 4

Unable to explain the reason, Orion Ke felt a little guilty because of this glance from the sky.

But he is Ke Hanying after all, and his guilty conscience is insignificant and fleeting. He stepped forward with a smile and greeted naturally: "Senior, did you just come back from the library?"

The school library has seven floors, and almost all the books in Dayu are gathered here. The Ke family alone donated more than half of them. The lamp is always on every night, and there are always students who can't sleep or are studying there who will stay up late to read.

Sterling Mu nodded first, then turned his gaze and glanced in the direction he came from. His nose was slightly twitching as he smelled the faint fragrance of sweet wine in the air and frowned slightly.

Orion Ke is very familiar with this expression.

The commander would look at him like this sometimes, and grandpa would stare at him like this sometimes.

---It is almost a natural expression of elders suppressing juniors, instinctively wanting to reprimand, but suppressing them due to various reasons.

But why should Sterling Mu?

He's just a classmate, not his real brother.

For anyone else, the moment Orion Ke showed such emotions, they would part ways and never meet again in the future.

But maybe he had offended this senior student twice in his heart first. Orion Ke was unusually tolerant of him. Realizing that such a cold and noble talent probably didn't want to be associated with such an absurd and dissolute person as him, Orion Ke just raised his lips and smiled slightly. He smiled, nodded goodbye, and walked to his own room.

When he passed by Sterling Mu, he looked over from the perspective where the man was standing just now, and happened to see the window he had not closed before going out, and an unfinished painting under the window, facing the dense bones.

Ah...it scared him, no wonder he was standing here.

Orion Ke thought like this, and paused slightly. Just when he was about to explain, he heard Sterling Mu speak, his voice was like a clear spring striking jade, cold and indifferent: "When did the school open the writing course, and why did the junior student put the skull in the bedroom?" middle?"

It was extremely cold, and all the self-cultivation that I wanted to apologize for immediately disappeared.

Orion Ke turned around and stared at Sterling Mu, with a coldness in his eyes that was rare for outsiders to see.

There were bursts of spring thunder, but no rain fell, and insects were clamoring in the grass. The wind blows and the fallen flowers drift.

He said: "I am his widow, why can't I leave him in the wing?"

"Senior, are you being too lenient?" Orion Ke's voice was cold, containing a warning that could not be ignored.

-

It started to rain in the middle of the night. Sterling Mu stood up despite the pain that felt like ant bites all over his body. He lit a candle, found the medicine, and drank the warm water on the stove.

In fact, there is not much improvement. After years of pain, the body has already developed drug resistance.

No matter how good the medicine is, if he eats it, it will be nothing but mud in the sea, which is better than nothing.

The pain was especially severe at night, and he used to use the pain to plan the future.

Every day in this world is stolen, all trampled on bones and blood and tears. There is no reason not to take one step and see a hundred steps, and use every inch of time on the most suitable things.

But tonight, none of those so-called hatreds between the country and the family, or the so-called plans for revenge, could come to mind.

He had imagined a reunion with Ashue.

Just those assumptions, in the night when the bones are in severe pain, in the cold wind and snow, under the nightmare of swords and swords.

To be honest...it's not a good reunion after a long separation.

Therefore, the moment he actually stepped into Linyuan Academy, his imagination overlapped with reality, and he was timid about being close to home, so Sterling Mu did not rush to find him.

He entered the school with the most appropriate status, and moved into Ashue's yard with the most appropriate ranking.

Time is enough to change everything. After five years, he guessed that the snowman in his memory would have changed.

Maybe he was colder, or dull and taciturn, but no one thought he was the same as now.

Dissolute, wanton, flamboyant, lively, chic, romantic...

He looks like a dandy from an aristocratic family, and even the young actors on the stage cannot portray his charm.

Sterling Mu thought that he was in no position to care about him. He used to hang around the flower house every day, admiring the famous flowers in Yujing, and drinking gold powder and fine wine. How could he have any reason to restrain A Xue?

But tonight there was thunder and it seemed like it was going to rain.

Waves of unbearable pain and itch emerged from his bone marrow. Sterling Mu thought of the mountain road he walked on the day he entered the academy.

It will be a lot muddy after the rain. If you accidentally fall...

With such worries, he went out, only to see the unclosed window and a gloomy head under the window.

Ke Hanying said that he was his widow.

For a moment, there was only one thought in Sterling Mu's mind: He was really courageous, and he dared to speak so freely despite his status as a decapitator.

Even if he didn't know who the head was at first, he should have figured it out after Orion Ke said this.

Phoenix Sheng, the third prince of the former dynasty.

Or maybe it's what Orion Ke thinks of as "Phoenix Sheng".

The pain and itching penetrated from the limbs and bones into the lungs, then surged up the esophagus, and finally turned into bursts of unbearable muffled coughs.

For a long time, Sterling Mu lowered his head and smiled silently, but it was cold and bitter.

After all, it was his sin that caused people to die and not be able to rest in peace.

Dayu has been inherited for hundreds of years, and to this generation, in the eyes of the world, the country is rich and powerful, with beautiful mountains and rivers.

The current sage's reign title is Qingzheng and his honorary title is Renshou.

The title of the reign means to comply with God's will and celebrate the return of orthodoxy, while the title of the emperor wishes the emperor good health and longevity, and praises him for treating his ministers courteously and governing the country benevolently.

People say that Emperor Renshou is a wise king and saint who is rare to meet in a hundred years.

History books say that in the summer of the 25th year of Yuanxing, the first emperor was stupid and immoral, which led to civil strife in the court, invasion of foreign enemies, internal and external troubles, and the people were miserable. Emperor Renshou traveled all the way north from the south of the Yangtze River to King Qin, put down the rebellion, drove back the enemy troops, and divided the city for reconciliation.

Emperor Yuan Xing died, and all his descendants died in the war.

At the time of the country's survival, Sheng Xuyan, with the support of his relatives and subjects, resigned three times, and finally succeeded to the throne and ascended the Jinluan throne. He changed his reign name to Qingzheng and started his "Reign of Renshou".

After Emperor Renshou came to the throne, he lightened taxes, reduced corvees, and opened up civil services. Anyone who came to see this would sigh, "Long live the saint, long live the saint." They were glad that they were born in a prosperous age and met a wise monarch.

But when all this was contrary to what the history books painted, King Qin's loyal ministers became the leaders of the rebels, and the invading foreign enemies were allies brought in by the emperor himself. The divided city was just an exchange of interests under the power of intrigue, and everything became ironic. .

History is the history of victors, but there are always people who live behind history.

Sterling Mu originally thought that his reunion with Axue had nothing to do with history, but when Orion Ke said the words "widow", it was like a wake-up call.

What else is irrelevant?

Those unspoken feelings and secret loves when he was young, after so many years, when he "died", from the perspective of others - every part of it is overwhelming, as if the deep sea is boundless to drown people.
