Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 153 Memorial (2)

Baichengshuang also saw the figure of old man Qi, and rode his horse to meet him. The horse's hooves stepped through countless weeds and came to the old man in gray robe.

Bai Chengshuang got off his stirrup and said, "Old Qi, I'm back."

"Congratulations to the princess." Old Qi said with a salute: "When the old minister saw 'Baihe' flying out of the city, he knew that it was the princess who came back, so he came here to greet her. It's really good."

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng also got off their horses in a hurry, saluted Old Qi, and at the same time thought to themselves: This old man looked at Lao Lao, but he chased the snow sculpture, but he didn't fall too far, this skill of shrinking the ground is really amazing.

Baichengshuang asked Elder Qi a series of concerned questions: "What's the situation in the city now? Just now I passed by Hanshi Town and met Centurion Wen Hua, and he still treated me like a guard. Has my father not dismissed my military post yet?"

"In today's city—" Old Qi snorted coldly: "It's a mess. Your father and brother have already run away, taking away all the soldiers and horses of a guard in the name of mopping up horse thieves, and going to Langya to join your mother's house went.

The matter of you stealing the soldier talisman, the king did not make it public - although he was really angry, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was furious - but your father will be very calculating.Since you have done something beyond your control, the next step is definitely not to stay with you anymore, you can only get married as soon as possible in exchange for some real benefits.

But if the world knows that you have done the thing of stealing talismans and seizing the army, which violates the rules of the king and father, then in the eyes of the husband who is about to negotiate, this is also a big taboo, and he may not be willing to marry you again;
On the contrary, if you don't make this matter public, it is your father's order to lead troops to support by default, then you are a heroine who accepts orders in the face of danger and sacrifices her life to serve the king. This is also very important in the eyes of those royal families quality.

Your father has counted to this level, so no matter how angry he was, he also endured the anger.He has always been patient. "

Speaking of this, Old Qi sneered: "Your father also told you to go to Langya Great Cold Pass to meet them as soon as possible after you come back, but you probably don't want to hear that either."

Hearing this, especially the news that Hanye City was empty of troops, Bai Chengshuang's expression was serious, while Ye Ziqi's and Gu Feng's expressions were even uglier—these words could be said in front of their two pawns. Did you say that?Is it possible that Chengqi is always planning to silence the two of them later?

Of course, it's just that this seemingly unpredictable old man is more casual than they imagined.

Afterwards, Qi Lao explained the consequences of Yi Wei's departure.Because the situation of the battle is unknown, in order to prevent chaos in Hanye City and stop the pursuit of the barbarians, Ju Guohou still left more than 2000 people from the three guards in the city, led by the commander-in-chief Wang Zhong.

However, the three guards had no experience in serving in the city, and they were fine in battle, but they had a lot of problems in maintaining law and order in the city.

What's more terrible is that some defeated soldiers and refugees fled back from the north one after another, and the news of Lian Hongye's death spread among the people, which has already caused a sensation; some refugees who entered the city from the south even claimed to have seen Ju Guohou's team There are naturally rumors about the fact that the lord of the country actually fled to Langya.

Although Qi Lao had given orders to the army to suppress these rumors, the effect of the three guards who lacked experience in handling them was very limited.

What's more, not to mention the common people, even the soldiers themselves, at this time, the morale of the soldiers is already floating.While facing the risk of the enemy's possible invasion at any time, and dealing with mobs who raised doubts, they were anxious and restless all day long. Many of them had already made up their own little calculations, thinking of relying on their power to collect some private wealth from the people.

These words, Baichengshuang and the three of them are very familiar with it. They have seen it with their own eyes in Hanshi Town: soldiers are levying violently, and the people would rather bear heavy taxes than escape with their families. The most trusted town.With such internal and external troubles, I am afraid that it is difficult to have a good solution.

But the time left for them to plan to resist the barbarians is running out, and it seems that they can see the bleak future that Hanye City will face.

While thinking like this, Ye Ziqi felt that the atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.

No, it's just that there is air conditioning coming out.

Ye Ziqi turned his head to look at Baichengshuang, the other party's temperament changed in a short time, should it be said that there was a sudden light in his eyes, or a sudden fierce light?It was as cold as facing the gluttonous demon king on the snowy ridge.

"It's different after all." Ye Ziqi thought to himself, for him, Cold Leaf City was only a place to stay for less than a month, but for this woman, Cold Leaf City was home.

"Old Qi," Bai Chengshuang said in a solemn tone, "Please do a few things for me."

"The old minister listens to the order."

-

The sun passed noon, and every moment seemed like the future of Cold Leaf City, shaking and falling.Its light shines on the large buildings on the outskirts of the city, and the kings of all dynasties sleep in the middle bedroom of the king's tomb.

Guards from famous families change their guards every half a day, guarding the Ju Kingdom Mausoleum built of white granite.

The tombs of Ju Guohou in the past are arranged in order according to the eight trigrams, and the one guarded in the middle is the tomb of Bai Chenghan, the first king of the country.Some of them are called Mingjun by historians, who opened up territories and expanded land, and their achievements went straight to the kings; .

It seems that this kingdom is proud of everything that this bloodline has experienced.

Another peculiarity of King Ju's Mausoleum is that the famous military generals in the history of the kingdom will also be buried outside the cemetery. They were considered loyal, brave and fierce during their lifetime, and they were also the most reliable guardians of the king's soul after death.The burial ceremony of famous generals is called "Wufu Funeral", which has always been presided over by the king himself, and is regarded as the highest honor by the soldiers of Ju State.

Forever peaceful, always lofty, such a place should always be accompanied by loneliness, but in this afternoon, it seemed extremely noisy.

"Hey, have you heard? Princess Shuang and General Lian are back—"

"That's right! I also said the same thing over there. It's great. I haven't had any reassurance for so many days. The guy in my family chatters every day whether he should run away..."

"Run? Where can you run to? Where can it compare to our city? But tell me, why don't the adults go to the city to announce the news, and they have to choose a place in the wilderness?"

"Ugh……"

"Hey? Old man, why are you sighing?"

"The young man is young, and he doesn't even look at this place."

"It doesn't matter where he is, he hasn't been here anyway."

……

All kinds of opinions intersected in the wilderness, and thousands of people gathered around the cemetery.They didn't celebrate Qingming for the royal family in advance. Everyone came here for a piece of news:
Lian Hongye, chief of the second guard of the Ju Kingdom, and Bai Chengshuang, chief of the third guard, have returned from the front line, and will announce the military situation to the people of Hanye here.

But they obviously need some patience before getting the answers they want.Because the soldiers are still busy: some soldiers are managing and guiding the people to prevent them from wandering around and offending this sacred area; other soldiers are carrying thick logs and building high platforms in the distance .

Ye Ziqi is also one of them.

Moreover, the logs he carried were extraordinarily thick, only Baichengshuang, who was also working, could compare.He puts the log in the right place, and a craftsman will come and smash the thick copper nails.

He experienced the sense of superiority of being the strongest person when working, and stood on the half-built platform, looking forward to his own strength.

"It's true that someone can use Luogong Jue to move logs!" The old monster sneered coldly, and stopped talking.

Ye Ziqi didn't respond, anyway, after forcing the old demon to spit out the inner alchemy, the other party never had a good word to say.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye." A man with a rough voice deliberately lowered his voice and approached, Ye Ziqi looked over, it was Yu, the elder of Sanweishi, they were old acquaintances who were in the first team when they went to Leizhou Association.

Old Yu quietly asked: "What is General Shuang doing here?"

"do not know."

"You don't know? It's said that you came back from the north with General Shuang."

"Then I don't know either."

Lao Yu still had a look of disbelief, but Ye Ziqi just met in silence.

He didn't lie.

What Baichengshuang asked Mr. Qi to do was to ask him to send people to Hanye City and nearby villages and towns to issue a notice saying that Lian Hongye and her had returned from the north, and that they would hold a swearing-in meeting at King Ju's Mausoleum. Soldiers have to come to participate.

Mr. Qi was quick enough to write a notice with a pen and paper on the spot, stamped it, and summoned several wooden cavalry puppets to send the notice to various places at the same time.

So the panicked people and soldiers soon gathered at the royal tomb.Looking around now, there are tens of thousands of people gathered in this field, within a radius of only a few miles, crowded into one piece, and there are still people rushing here one after another.

On Baichengshuang's side, he didn't go back to the city, so he went directly to Wangling, and began to organize manpower and build a high platform.This is obviously to make a public announcement to everyone present.That's all Ye Ziqi knows, things that everyone can see, and he doesn't have any secrets to tell.

However, Ye Ziqi didn't understand in his heart.

In such a crisis, according to the knowledge he read in the book, everything should focus on stabilizing people's hearts.

However, judging from Baichengshuang's current behavior, no matter how she thinks about it, she seems to be—

Lian Hongye's death is announced!
