According to the chimpanzees, the pursuit was too strong at the beginning, and they could not get rid of it anyway. In order to avoid future trouble, Yu Qiao designed to lead the pursuers to the sea alone, while the chimpanzees hid in other places. No one knows whether Yu Qiao was alive or dead. Only the people guess that Yu Qiao died with his pursuers at sea.

Huai Shu'an, who betrayed Daye, found the chimpanzees after many setbacks. As a good friend of Yu Qiao, he proposed to send the chimpanzees to sea to escape and give them a safe life. Huai Shu'an did his best to the surviving Jiren, but he showed deep love for Yu Qiao. The Jiren were deceived by him and liked him, but hated Daye and Xiao Li.

In addition, the letters left by Huai Shu'an in his later years misled them into thinking that Xiao Li was ungrateful and betrayed Yu Qiao. And Huai Shuan is the one who can't ask for it, who is affectionately waiting for it. It was only when they saw Yu Qiao's letter that they got a glimpse of the truth.

It turns out that before Yu Qiao led his pursuers to sea, he asked Huai Shu'an to send a letter to Xiao Li, which stated that whether Xiao Li's betrayal was true or false, he believed in his conduct. Ask him to remember the friendship in the past and leave a way for the chimpanzees. In the letter, he told him where the shoals were hiding. If he can't come back, ask him to find a safe place for the chimpanzees. However, after receiving the letter, Huai Shu'an did not hand it over to Xiao Li, who was far away in Yejing, but read it privately. Even after Yu Qiao's disappearance, Xue Chang, who is incited to be deceived, goes to the palace to question Xiao Li to seek justice for Yu Qiao.

Xiao Li had doubts about him at that time, but there was no evidence. In addition, Xue Chang and Huai Shu'an were both his brothers, and he was trapped in the court. He had to distract himself to find the trace of Yu Qiao and the shark people. He was really weak, so he could only watch them break up with him and betray Daye.

What happened after that is the so-called "truth" known by later generations. Xue Chang and Huai Shu'an established xidun and Yuze respectively. But Yetai. Zu Xiaoli married the princess of the former dynasty, and then he wantonly cleaned up the court forces and cultivated cronies. In just a few years, Daye Dynasty hall became his one word hall. Daye officials were clean and bright, people were happy, and people all over the world respected him. The empress died of illness shortly after he took charge of the super program. In the past few years, Xiao Li did not expand the Imperial Palace, but had a son with the empress and became the crown prince.

But Yu Qiao wrote in his letter: after he led the pursuers to the sea, he was really ready to die with them. But there was an accident in the process. Although the pursuer was destroyed, he did not die. It's a coma, deep in the sea. Later, he was rescued to a desert island by the shark people in the sea. He found that when he was dying, he accidentally awakened the blood of the shark people. Because of the return of blood, his legs turned into fish tails and could not go ashore. Although he was limited in movement, he remained sober in human form.

He lived with the people who saved him and tried to go to the shore to get information. But before he got information, he first broke Huai Shuan's plot. He followed the people and accidentally ran into the island where the people lived in seclusion.

He saw Huai Shuan carrying craftsmen and treasures to the island in large boats, and building the so-called "heavenly palace" for him. He is very smart. He connected the events of these years and found the flaw when he thought about them again. Coincidentally, over the years, Xiao Li has never given up looking for the trace of Yu Qiao and the shark people, and has never forgotten his doubts about Huai Shu'an. After Huai Shu'an went to sea several times secretly, his people also secretly followed him. Yu Qiao, who has been trapped in the sea, is finally able to meet Xiao Li. After they met again, they spread out all the misunderstandings one by one and understood Huai Shuan's sinister intentions.

After learning the truth, Xiao Li has the heart to lead the troops to step down the rain. But he was dissuaded by Yu Qiao. The first is that the people of Daye have been in peace and prosperity for several years, and it is not suitable to fight again. The second is that the people of Jiren live in peace and tranquility on the island. If they fight with Huai Shuan, the people of Jiren and "Immortality" will be mentioned again. Even if they are sheltered by Xiao Li, they will not have a peaceful life. The third is that Yu Qiao's situation at that time is not suitable to appear in front of people. Besides, both of them are righteous people, and each of them has his own responsibilities. Xiao Li wants to take care of the people in Daye, while Yu Qiao has already made some achievements in breaking the curse of the shark people. After some discussion, they finally decided not to send the news.

Huai Shu'an devoted all his efforts to build the "heavenly palace" in those years, but Xue Chang knew that it was after drinking that he lost his words that he leaked the news of the chimpanzees, and he was even more guilty. When he learned of Huai Shu'an's plan, he sent all his accumulated wealth to Nanhai to compensate Yu Qiao and the chimpanzees. Huai Shu'an imagined that one day when Yu Qiao came back and saw his true feelings, he would be moved. He wants to let Yu Qiao know, let future generations know, only he is wholeheartedly in love with Yu Qiao. Xiao Li has too many worries and too many responsibilities on his shoulders. His love for Yu Qiao can't be compared with him at all.

When Yu Qiao wrote this paragraph, he said: "Huai Shu'an was a young and noble man who had a successful life and never suffered from human suffering. He thought that all he did was to love me. In fact, it was not. It was just his paranoia. When he was dying, Xiao Li and I went to see him for the last time and told him what had happened in these years. He was crazy and mourning, and he died in his own eyes. "

Yu Qiao's notes are very calm, unlike the self deceiving notes left by Huai Shuan, which are full of strong emotions. It's easy to see from his words that although he was tired of Huai Shuan, he didn't hate him. After years, the past will be gone, and Huai Shuan will be forgotten. This is probably the reason why Huai Shu An did not die in peace. All his life, he did all the bad things, but failed to make a ripple in Yu Qiao's heart.After Huai Shuan died, Yu Qiao returned to the sea. Instead of meeting the chimpanzees, he lived in the heavenly palace and concentrated on finding a way to solve the fate of the chimpanzees. Xiao Li and he went back to Yejing after parting. At that time, the crown prince had grown up enough to hold the great Yejiang mountain. Xiao Li soon designed to feign death, put down the burden of the country, and went out of the sea secretly.

After reading Yu Qiao's letter, they knew that Xiao Li's marriage to the princess of the former dynasty was a trade between them. The princess of the former dynasty had an engagement for a long time. After the former dynasty was overthrown, the princess was pushed out by the old minister as a chess piece to check and balance Xiao Li. Xiao Li makes a deal with the princess. They are husband and wife. In fact, the princess has been with her old lover all these years. Later, the princess got pregnant and gave birth to a pair of twins. Xiao Li left the boy and became the prince. The girl was raised by her father. After Xiao Li takes control of the court hall, the princess feigns death and takes her daughter away with her lover.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, Xiao Li could finally take off the burden and stay with Yu Qiao in his later years. However, after Yu Qiao became a shark, his appearance did not change in these years, while Xiao Li was one year old. Xiao Li was afraid that Yu Qiao would be alone after his death. In their later years, they gave birth to a child. The child followed Yu Qiao and was born as a shark, but he was extremely intelligent. The three members of the family live in the heavenly palace, and occasionally go out to sea with the chimpanzees. They are happy.

The birth of this child provided a new way for Yu Qiao to break the curse. When Xiao Li died at the age of 105, Yu Qiao sacrificed himself and found a ray of life for the shark people.

At last, he wrote in his letter: "when Xiao Li died, ah Mu had grown up and found someone to stay with. Since the shark people have a long life, I deeply feel that living alone is not very interesting, so I voluntarily sacrifice myself to appease the dragon fish's resentment. The curse of the chimpanzees ended. But "Immortality" is the world's fanatical pursuit. Once the chimpanzees survive, they will not be able to live freely. So I moved the chart to find another chance. If this can be done, you should have found the palace of heaven and seen the letter I specially left... "

An Changqing took a look at Xiao Zhige and felt that the "chance" mentioned in the letter might be theirs. At the beginning of his inexplicable rebirth, it was very strange. But if yu Qiao did it, it would explain. If it were not for his rebirth, these people would not have found here, nor would they have found the records of Jiren and Yu Qiao. At that time, even if the curse is broken, the chimpanzees will still be able to live in seclusion at sea, and the only thing waiting for them is the fate of extermination.

Now it's all over again. They find the shark's tomb, Yu Qiao's letter and all the truth. Everything will be solved.

"According to the letter, the curse of the chimaera is broken." An Changqing looked at Yu San and said, "what's wrong with the people in the clan these years?"

Yu San frowned and pondered for a moment, then hesitated: "abnormal? I don't know if it's abnormal. Yu Qiao's age is very fast, and the elder sister and the second sister's life is shorter. "

Because of the particularity of the chimpanzee, young children grow very slowly. When they are young, they are smaller than ordinary people of the same age. When they are old, their faces will not change much. Until the end of one or two years, will rapidly aging, until death. The longest lived chimpanzees can live to more than 150 years old. Even those with a short life span can live 120 or 30 years. But Yu Da, who died, lived less than 80 years. Yu Er was just over 70 years old, and there was a sign of aging.

Xiao Zhige said: "maybe this is the performance that the curse is being eliminated."

For the chimpanzees who have been deeply affected by the curse, it may take time to eliminate the curse, but for the new chimpanzees, the curse has disappeared, or the impact is very small. For example, in addition to the red lines, the others are the same as ordinary people an Changqing and Yu Qiao. Another example is that at the time of birth, there was no red line and any different Xiao an Heng brothers and sisters. At first, they thought that they were just young, but now it seems that they should be what Yu Qiao said.

Yu San still can't believe it. He looked at his hand and murmured, "can we really be like ordinary people?"

This is something that all chimpanzees dare not dream of. The world only says how mysterious immortality is, but in fact, immortality brings only endless hiding and extraordinary pain to the shark people.

An Changqing said: "there should be no fake."

After making clear the origin and development of the story of the chimaera, they followed what Yu Qiao said and burned all the notes. Then he went to find the antidote that Yu Qiao said - Yu Qiao expected everything as expected. He not only expected that future generations would come, but also Yuze's descendants calculated to come in. In his letter, he said that the poison made by Huai Shuan was given to him by Yu Qiao at the beginning for self-defense, but he didn't expect that Huai Shuan was obsessed with becoming a devil and applied the poison to his successor. In order to carry out the plan smoothly, he did not detoxify the Yuze royal family at that time, but left a bottle of antidote in the dark grid, which can completely remove the toxicity.

Several people rushed down the octagonal building, and saw that the sea water below had risen to the lower leg. Yu San said: "get the antidote and leave as soon as possible, or it will be more difficult to get out."

They went back to the former side hall. Huairuyu knocked on the wall next to the table for a while. As expected, he found the dark grid and found a small bottle of pills in it. However, he was cautious and didn't take the medicine immediately. He was ready to wait for the doctor to have a test before taking it.When they found the antidote, they were ready to leave. When they left, they passed by the side halls where a large number of treasures were stored. Huai Rushan said with some emotion, "it's a pity that these treasures will be buried on the bottom of the sea. If they can be transported out, they can do a lot of things."

His words are very much agreed with, an Changqing also some sigh, now Daye Treasury is also short of money.

It's just that their manpower and time are limited. These things are so many and heavy that it's hard to transport them out. I can only bear to give up.

The party returned along the original road. Yu San should have gone back to the village with them respectively, but Yu Qiao's letters revealed the past, which made him understand that the fact they always believed in may not be true. After a moment's hesitation, he took the initiative to invite several people to go back to the village with him.

An Changqing had the same intention. Seeing that he invited him, he naturally went with him.

After huairuyu brothers returned, they asked the accompanying doctor to check the antidote. After confirming that it was non-toxic, they swallowed the antidote. Although it will take about five years to know whether the antidote is useful or not, at least one's heart no longer has to be hanging around all the time. It's a lot more relaxed, so they all follow suit.

The chimpanzees had never seen so many outsiders before, and they were a little nervous for a moment. It was not until Yu San told them what he had experienced in the heavenly palace that they showed a look of astonishment, and they were much less alert and hostile to Xiao Zhige and his party. Yu Qiao was especially happy and danced: "can we go out to sea and have a look later?"

When he was born, he was on the island. He didn't yearn for the world on the other side of the sea very much, but the island is so big that it's easy to live on it. Now I'm very happy to know that I can go out to see the outside world.

"We haven't been out of the island for a long time, so we should be cautious." Yu Qi could not let go of his younger brother's death. He was most hostile to them and resisted to leave.

Yu Wuwen said in a voice: "Lao Qi, don't go to the top of a bull's horn. You don't know that the village is almost as high as Tiangong. If Tiangong is flooded, the village will be flooded sooner or later. Or rather, it's the island that's sinking slowly, and we're going to leave sooner or later. "

The sinking of the island has long been a clue. Only a few people in the village found it. They were afraid that others would worry about it, so they didn't say it until now. Now that they know that the curse has been lifted, and that an Changqing is willing to give them a new identity, so that they can get rid of the shadow of the old chimpanzees and start a new life, that would be the best.

Yu Qi stopped talking when he heard that Yu San and Yu Wu had been asking about things outside the island. Xiao Zhige also promised that he would find a suitable place for them to live. When they left, the island would sink into the sea. In the future, there would be no longer an immortal shark people in the world.

An Changqing and his party stayed in the village for five days. After discussing the departure date with the chimpanzees, they were ready to set sail. When Xiao Zhige returns to Yejing and finds a suitable place, he will send another boat to pick them up.

On the day of departure, the chimpanzees went to see them off, and eight seagoing ships were all ready to go.

An Changqing and Xiao Zhige stood in the bow of the boat and said to Yu Qiao on the island, "at most in March, we will come to meet you."

Yu Qiao's eyes were very bright. He jumped up and waved to him, "I want such a big boat to pick me up, too!"

An Changqing said with a smile.

A horn sounded and the fleet set sail slowly. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige stand hand in hand in the bow of the boat, watching the island getting smaller and smaller

In comparison, the fleet was no longer impatient and sailed smoothly. In the distance, there are seabirds flying low on the sea, landing on the floating wooden box to trim their feathers. An Changqing's eyes inadvertently swept by them, and suddenly coagulated. He leaned over to the side of the boat, looked carefully for a long time, and immediately asked people to put the boat down for salvage.

Huai Rushan hears the sound and says strangely, "Why are you fishing for the broken boxes on the sea?"

An Changqing pointed to the floating wooden box and said, "look carefully again. What's that?"

Huai Rushan immediately went to see it. After seeing it clearly, he opened his eyes incredulously and murmured: "this is from the heavenly palace How did they get here? "

An Changqing also felt strange, but it was strange. If there was no accident, all the gold and silver treasures in these cages would have to be fished out. The soldiers brought up the cage and opened it. Sure enough, it was full of gold and silver.

There are hundreds of boxes and cages in total. When they are picked up and opened, several people are silent when they face the gold and silver treasures inside.

Huai Rushan said in a low voice: "how can I feel a little abnormal?" It's a bit scary.

He didn't say it, others thought it. Tiangong is in the mountains. Even if it is flooded by the sea, these cages will not float here if they are washed out. In this case, it is more like being put here specially, waiting for them to fish.

"Isn't there a ghost in the sea?" Huai Rushan couldn't help muttering. He remembered the shadow he saw in Tiangong again.

"Do you remember that Xiao Li and Yu Qiao still have a child?" An Changqing asked.

The letter says: in Xiao Li's later years, they had a son named Xiao Muyu. Maybe to protect the child, Yu Qiao didn't mention the child too much. He just said that the child was just like a shark. Yu Qiao said that the shark people live longer. It's not surprising that Xiao Muyu is still alive.Xiao Zhige said: "maybe he's still alive, but he doesn't want to show up. Yu San said that a few decades ago, the Tiangong organ suddenly started and the door was closed. However, when we entered, we passed all the way and did not encounter any mechanism. It's about that someone is secretly helping, "they speculated earlier that Yu Qiao cracked the Tiangong mechanism, but if they calculated carefully, the time was not right, but if Xiao Muyu cracked it, they could explain it.

There is also the figure Huai Rushan saw. The ghost is not likely, but Xiao Muyu is more likely.

But although they infer that, there is no empirical evidence. After all, the existence of the chimpanzees is rare enough, let alone the more rare chimpanzees. A few people looked at each other, and they all agreed to press the matter down, and they didn't go into it any further. Only an Changqing lay beside the boat and said "thank you" to the surging sea.

After the cage was picked up, the ship continued to sail until the ship was out of sight. Then a silver fish tail was raised on the sea, and another fish tail was also raised, making waves on the sea. On the calm sea, two young men with bare upper body and long hair like seaweed looked at the unseen ship from a distance, and then swung their tails together and drilled in again The bottom of the sea.

***

it took more than ten days to return, and it was already the middle of October when we arrived at Yuze.

Because they had been out for a long time, an Changqing and Xiao Zhige did not stay in Yuze. After counting the people and luggage, they were ready to leave for Yejing. Before they left, huairuyu proposed that Yuze should be incorporated into the territory of Daye and become a minister to Daye.

Yuze officials' first reaction was naturally against it, but huairuyu insisted on his own opinions and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages with them one by one. After a few days, he finally convinced all the ministers to send envoys with Xiao Zhige to Yejing to submit the official credentials. In addition, out of gratitude, huairuyu presented a large number of tributes, including a pair of elephants and a pair of white peacocks that huairushan fed.

One becomes a pair, and an Changqing naturally likes it. Huai Rushan angrily accuses his brother of using his treasure as a front, and then angrily sneaks into the ranks of envoys and follows an Changqing to the north.

It was five or six days after the team set out that an Changqing found that huairushan had entered the area. When they returned, they were in a hurry. By this time, they had already left the Yuze border and entered Daye. Huai Rushan is not afraid to be sent back, and he no longer hides himself. He takes the initiative to run to an Changqing's carriage to eat and drink.

After another half month on the road, they finally arrived in Yejing in November.

The officials who received the news ahead of time welcomed him outside Yejing city. At that time, Xiao Zhige and an Changqing were worshipped by the officials side by side on their steeds. Behind them were the Yuze mission, the elephant and the White Peacock who came to hand in the national documents. The elephant is tall and powerful, and it is frightening only by its size. The white peacock is noble and sacred. Even if it lives in a wooden cage, it is still like a divine bird, awe inspiring and inviolable.

They were welcomed by the officials and brought a large group of people and elephants into the city. After hearing the news, the people who went out to watch saw it and knelt down one after another to say long live.

This day was later called "the beginning of flourishing age" in historical books. Daye restored its old land and expanded its territory. Since then, the flourishing age began for hundreds of years.

*

the emperor and the wild goose King finally returned after leaving Beijing for several months, and even without a single soldier, Yuze took the initiative to surrender. Officials who had previously complained about the two men's departure from Beijing were left with only oral praise. Even so, the common people who witnessed the neighboring countries' offering made the emperor and the wild goose king into gods. It is said that God saw that the world was difficult and the people were in dire straits, so he sent Mingjun down to save the people.

Rumors spread from place to place, and the people believe it. When Xiao Zhige heard about it, he did not stop it. He even added a fire to it, which made the rumor more prosperous.

On the eighth day of November, Yuze's envoys submitted their credentials and voluntarily joined Daye. Xiao Zhige gladly agreed that huairuyu was the king of min, and huairushan was still the king of Yu. Yuze was changed into Zezhou, the fiefdom of King min and King Yu. At the same time, Honglu Temple officials were sent to stay in Zezhou to officially set up maritime ports for trade with overseas countries.

On November 16, the new king of Xi dung personally led the delegation to Yejing. He also voluntarily submitted the letter of state and expressed his wish to submit to Daye. This is the first time that an Changqing saw shangque. He is tall and has deep "Sichuan" lines between his eyebrows. He knelt on one knee, put his right hand on his left chest, hung his head, and said, "I will honor Xue Wuyi's promise today. I hope your majesty will treat the people well. "

Xiao Zhige stepped down from the dragon throne, took the national documents he personally submitted, and solemnly said, "I will not disappoint you."

From then on, Xi dung belonged to Daye territory, Xiao Zhige changed Xi dung into dung state, and Shang que, the former king of Xi dung, also became king, taking dung state as fief.

Yuze and xidun successively took the initiative to submit to Daye, and the territory separated from Daye hundreds of years ago was finally complete. When all the canons were over, it happened to be another winter solstice.

On the winter solstice, emperors had to go to the outskirts of the city to worship heaven.

At the winter solstice last year, Xiao Zhige went alone, but this year he took not only an Changqing, but also Xiao Anheng and his brother and sister. This year, the winter solstice ceremony was particularly grand. In addition to the presence of civil and military officials, people were allowed to watch it.

Countless people flocked to see the ceremony.Yejing had a snow before, outside the altar is a piece of silver wrapped, add a bit of holiness to the ceremony. Xiao Zhige and an Changqing walked side by side from one end of the red carpet to the altar. Since ancient times, emperors have been worshiping the heaven alone, and have never had the experience of others walking with them. However, the officials were obviously used to Xiao Zhige's "unruly" behavior. Moreover, the king of wild goose also made great contributions to the recovery of Yuze and xidun. Now the emperor is to give him the highest honor, no one dare to speak.

Two people in the ceremony of the official singing, meticulously perform the ceremony. After the ceremony, the official announced the end of the ceremony, but Xiao Zhige raised his hand to stop it.

The man in the Yellow Dragon Robe of the Ming Dynasty stepped forward and said solemnly, "today, the heaven and earth are the mirror, and the officials and the people are the evidence. I just want to announce another event."

As soon as his voice fell, Han Zhang, the eunuch general manager on one side, came forward with a volume of Ming Huang imperial edict. Xiao Zhige took it and said in a deep voice: "Yan Wang an Changqing, I have been married for more than three years, and I will never leave you in the same boat. In private, he gave birth to the prince and Princess Zhu of Sui Dynasty for me, so that there would be successors in Daye. In public, he gave advice and suggestions to the court, worried about the king and the common people. He also helped me to recover Yuze and xidun without a single soldier It's a great achievement that can't be granted. I feel it in my heart. In order to show the merit of King Yan, I specially granted King Yan the title of Fengjun, who was honored with the emperor, and also called "double emperors."

Finish saying, don't wait for the public reaction of amazement to come over, then solemnly put that volume imperial edict into the hand of an Changqing. Wang Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, came forward with a silver dragon robe embroidered with gold dragon on a gold plate and knelt down on his knees, saying "long live Fengjun".

Xiao Zhige spread out the same Dragon Robe of different colors, put it on an Changqing, and said in a high voice: "today, as a witness of all officials and people, I hereby swear that I and Fengjun will never live up to your expectations!"

The oath was made loud, and the stunned officials came back from their astonishment and knelt down one after another to shout: "Your Majesty is wise! Feng Jun is wise

Affected by this, the people around them kneel down and cry. In the plain world, they stand side by side on the altar and are worshipped by all officials and people.

There are pure white snowflakes floating down in the sky. Xiao Zhige holds the hand of the man beside him, looks into his eyes, and solemnly says: "from then on, it will be our golden age."

"As you wish." An Changqing chuckled and held his hand tightly.

According to the historical records of later generations, Xiao Zhige, the emperor of Yewu, fought in the army all his life. After more than ten years of recuperation, Daye and Princess Zhu of Sui Dynasty led the army to conquer all the northern regions at one stroke, and Daye's territory expanded again and again. Emperor Yan Changqing and the prince of Yeren stayed behind to reform agriculture, develop business, and vigorously support maritime trade. Daye's national strength and the prosperity of the people were unmatched in the past five hundred years.

Later generations praised the two emperors for their combination of culture and martial arts. With their efforts, they laid the foundation for the inheritance of dayejiangshan for hundreds of years, and the flourishing age created by them is also known as "the flourishing age of benevolence and martial arts".

As Xiao Zhige said at the beginning, the later history books became the witness of them. Even though they have been dead for a long time, their unswerving feelings and the achievements of those who never came before are still praised by later generations.
