Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 186: Let everyone in the world suffer

That year, the situation changed, and all parties gathered together. A vigorous "Conquest of Xia" began at sea and finally ended at sea.

Xia Fuchong's head was hung on the highest point of the warship. A generation of demon kings did all kinds of evil, started wars, harmed the people, and finally ended up with his body and head missing, which is very satisfying!
Feng Qiyun, Zhong Lifu, Kuang Heng, and Yue Zhiqing stood under the sail together, facing the hunting sea breeze and looking at the sparkling sea. Their hearts were filled with ups and downs and tears filled their eyes.

The four brothers went through life and death, worked hard, and finally worked together to overthrow the Apocalypse Kingdom, kill the tyrant with their own hands, and put an end to the troubled times!
"Use war to end wars, bring peace to the universe, clear rivers and seas, and pray for a prosperous age."

The short sixteen characters on the scroll were so soul-stirring and hard-won that Shi Xuanling couldn't help looking down at the scroll and murmured again.

She took a deep breath, and it seemed as if she could see the majestic legend and the vigorous "Conquest of Summer" hundreds of years ago before her eyes.

"So, we have obviously killed the tyrant Xia Fuchong, put an end to the war, and ushered in the peaceful age of He Qing and Haiyan. Why, why do we still..."

Shi Xuanling paused. The question she wanted to ask, but she couldn't bear to ask it at this moment, just like a beautiful bronze mirror, no one could bear to smash it into pieces with their own hands.

"So what exactly happened back then? Why did High Priest Feng break up with the other three brothers? What was that huge disagreement... exactly?"

"They have different paths and don't conspire against each other."

Pei Shixi said coldly. He looked at the bright fireworks on the scroll and seemed to see the Muhua Festival where the four brothers sang happily that night in Yuncheng hundreds of years ago. At that time, the world was vast and there was no restraint or oppression. , they are all full of infinite hope for the future, but who knows that the paths they want to take are no longer the same.

"The old dynasty will be overthrown, the mountains and rivers will be rebuilt, and all power and order will be reorganized. The people of the world will usher in a new dynasty, and naturally there will be a new king. Among the candidates appointed by the new king, the high priest and the other three people were chosen. Disagreements.”

"So, the high priest... wants to become the monarch of the new dynasty, but the other three don't agree?"

Shi Xuanling thought about it and said the key in one word. Unexpectedly, Pei Shixi looked at her steadily and uttered one word in a cold voice: "No."

He stretched out his hand and touched the handsome figure playing the flute on the scroll, seeming to sigh and pity: "The high priest helps the strong and the weak, has the common people in mind, and has never had the intention of fighting for fame and wealth. He is just different from the path they pursue. , they all think that Kuang Heng is decisive in killing, has a strong heart, and has the domineering power of a king. However, the high priest feels that Kuang Heng is too murderous, too ruthless, and extreme in doing things. They are afraid that if he ascends to the throne of God, he will lose his true nature and become the next Xia Fu. rush."

"Therefore, the high priest did not support Kuang Heng as emperor. Instead, he felt that Zhonglifu was more suitable to be the monarch of the new dynasty, because his mind was softer and more pure. If he came to power, he would definitely implement benevolent policies, treat the people of the world well, and would not be rude. They once again experienced the suffering of the tyrant of the Apocalypse Kingdom."

Feng Qiyun and Zhonglifu grew up together on Yunzhou Island. He knew his temperament very well. When Zhonglifu was a child, he was willful and playful. Once he went to sea without authorization and almost died in a big storm, but he was In a critical moment, he still risked his life to save a weak person, a lame servant who had served him for many years. Feng Qiyun was also on the boat at that time and saw Zhonglifu's actions with his own eyes. He was deeply touched in his heart. He later rescued Zhonglifu and the servant. When they returned from a narrow escape, Zhonglifu's father was He was furious and wanted to punish everyone severely. At that time, Zhonglifu stopped him and said that everyone should be responsible for what he did. It was because he wanted to go to sea for fun and it was no one else's business. He was willing to bear all the punishment.

In this way, Zhongli was resurrected and received fifty lashes from his father, and lay on the bed dripping with blood for a month. When Feng Qiyun went to take care of him, he would smile and comfort him in turn, and even high-fived him and said, They have lived together and died together. They went to see the Lord of Hell together. Now that they have survived, they must be good brothers for life and never abandon each other!
It can be said that although Zhong Lifu seems to have a childish nature and is cynical, he is actually a very, very kind person in his heart, which coincides with the benevolence and righteousness believed in by the Feng clan.

So for many years, Zhongli returned to the island as the owner, and Fengqiyun became the high priest. He was willing to assist him, manage Yunzhou Island together, and protect peace on the sea.

But things are different now. After the Apocalypse Kingdom is destroyed, what they want to govern is not an island, but the entire world. Therefore, Zhonglifu himself does not have the confidence to take on this important task. He does not want to be the king of a country. He just wants to be a sea captain. The owner of Xiaoyao Island.

The remaining Yue Zhiqing has a reserved temperament. Although he has the title of God of War General, he is usually a bit taciturn. However, on this extraordinary occasion, he also made his position clear. He naturally supports Kuang Heng as the emperor. In his words In other words -

"I pray that you are willing to assist Zhong Lifu, and I am also willing to be the sword in Kuang Heng's hand, helping him to sweep across the world, dominate the world, usher in a peaceful and prosperous era, and create great achievements for all generations."

In this way, the four good brothers who went through life and death and finally conquered the world had differences when the darkness faded and the light came. To be precise, the "Tao" of Feng Qiyun and the other three were different.

At that time, the four brothers were locked in the room, deadlocked about the way forward. Feng Qiyun only asked Kuang Heng one question:
"Kang Heng, if you were on that ship and a big storm came, would you give up your life to save a lame servant?"

Kuang Heng's dark eyes were deep, staring at Feng Qiyun, but he didn't answer for a long time.

But Feng Qiyun saw through his heart at a glance, "You won't, because you can weigh the pros and cons. You think your life is more important than that lame servant. His death is not a pity, but you have a noble status and great ambitions. It can’t be sacrificed in vain, right?”

These words were a bit unpleasant to hear, but Kuang Heng did not refute. He just stared at Feng Qiyun and listened to him continue:
"If you regard the ship as a country and the lame servant as the people, when the national crisis comes, you will definitely not be a benevolent king who stands in front of the people, but will abandon your people in order to protect yourself. , let them die for you one by one, a ruthless emperor, you can betray the world, but the world cannot betray you, this is your way of life, am I right? "

Now that it has reached this point, Feng Qiyun simply made his words more thorough: "When you came to Yunzhou Island to form an alliance with us, you wanted to fight Xia Fuchong together. In fact, it was not for the oppressed people of Tianqi Kingdom. But it’s because that lunatic Xia Fuchong wants to exploit the marquis and your family, right?”

In fact, from the very beginning, the original intentions of the alliance were different. It was only at this moment that Feng Qiyun clearly revealed it under the sun. Those dark selfish motives could no longer be hidden. The other three in the room The people's expressions changed slightly.

"Kang Heng, I admit that you are decisive in killing and have the talent of the world. You are a well-deserved strong man. But you have no benevolence, you are too murderous, you cannot see the suffering of the people in your eyes, and you cannot tolerate the humble and weak. If you say Emperor, his dynasty will definitely make the same mistakes again, and the people will fall into dire straits again. Can you guarantee that you will not become the second Xia Fuchong?"
