Misery: my feet step out of the flames of war

At the entrance of Yizong, a dark snow sedan came flying into the air.

Then, Jiao Jin's poem trumpet sounded:

"Where is the high gate, the emperor's qi is ninefold, the situation changes with one step, and the mountains and rivers of all generations are embraced."

Xiao Se and Yan Pianpian heard the sound and came out, curiously looking at the luxurious sedan.

"Who is the distinguished guest visiting Yi Zong?"

Next to the sedan chair, the rickety old woman stood with her wooden staff on the ground and proudly replied: "My lord is the dark queen of the forest prison, and she wants to see the one in the kingdom of death."

"Please wait a moment."

Yan Pianpian went in to report, and came out after a while, inviting the Black Queen and Mu Jingling into the atrium.

In the courtyard, there is an octagonal pavilion with overhanging eaves, with flowers and willows scattered among them, leaning on rocks and riding waves. The copper bells on the eaves tinkled gently in the wind, making a sweet tinkling sound.

Sitting in the pavilion was a man in purple clothes. He was gorgeous, noble, and unparalleled in appearance. He was originally meditating, but he opened his eyes when he saw darkness.

The Black Queen guessed that this person was the Heavenly One, and the person standing next to the Heavenly One should be the Earthly One, wearing a black gold robe, with a stern face and a serious expression.

There is only a stone seat in the pavilion.

The earth man asked the black queen to sit down. He and Mu Jingling retreated to the outside of the pavilion, while Yan Pianpian went to prepare tea.

"You are the one who broke through my realm and returned to the underworld?"

"Where is the King of Hell? I need you, a woman, to come forward?"

Yi Dongqing heard the Heavenly One's disdain and was immediately furious: "What about women and other people?"

"So what if the line of return to hell is broken?"

"This means that the Kingdom of Death will become the enemy of Black Sea Prison."

"Unless there is a better treasure in the Black Sea Forest Prison than the Return of the Underworld."

Yi Dongqing came here just to test the purpose of the Kingdom of Death. After listening to the words of the heavenly being, he knew that it was the energy of the sound earth, and he was immediately relieved.

"It is said that the Dead Country is barren, and the Forest Prison is also a foreign land with a harsh living environment. If it were not for the balance of the underground black moon, the Forest Prison Demon Tribe would have been extinct long ago."

"Black Moon?"

"Yes, but the black moon contains extremely hot and cold magic energy, which cannot be moved except by the King of Hell."

The Heavenly One said calmly: "You are tempting me to seize the Black Moon. What good will this do to you?"

Yi Dongqing smiled sweetly, and her beauty bloomed gently at this moment, like the spring snow melting, spring flowers sprouting, and the spring color spreading thousands of miles away.

"The King of Hell and I... have separated a long time ago."

Just when Yi Dongqing thought she was impressing the Heavenly Being, the Heavenly Being's calm expression suddenly turned to disgust.

"As a queen, you don't care about the safety of your people. As a wife, you don't care about our relationship. A woman like you is really shameful!"

"Ok?"

"I hate betrayal! Don't bring such people to me again. Yujing sees off guests."

Yi Dongqing stood up: "God, you don't know how terrible the King of Hell is. If you don't join hands with me at this time, once the King of Hell comes out of seclusion, all living beings will be in misery!"

The Earth Man walked into the pavilion, frowned and said: "What kind of suffering is it, it has nothing to do with the country of death, please ask the Black Queen."

"If you break the line of return, you will surely be retaliated by the King of Hell. I have shown goodwill and look forward to the day when you can turn back."

Yi Dongqing sat on the dark snow sedan and angrily turned around to be buried in Tianguan.

At this time in the Black Sea Forest Prison, the eldest prince Xuan Bin was facing an angry Xuan Li questioning him.

The eighth prince Xuanli was the most favored by the King of Hell at that time, and stayed by his side to personally teach political affairs. Although he was not awarded the title of prince, he was one of the princes who should not be underestimated.

The recent events in Forest Prison made Xuanli really unable to stand it anymore.

"Brother Emperor, why did you let the abandoned queen go and let her sit in Burial Tianguan? That was the empire established by the Eighteenth Emperor Brother." "Eighth Emperor Brother, of course I have my own ideas, but I am answering your question. Before I do that, I want to ask you first, what do you want me to do to put an end to your doubts, drastic reforms, or vigorously recruiting troops to conquer the difficult situation?"

"I want to understand your strategy for governing the country."

"I believe that what Forest Prison needs is not just strategies for governing the country, but also new thinking."

Xuanli snorted coldly: "Keep talking."

"The kings of hell in the past dynasties have all admired the strong man to govern the country, just like Xuan Xiao's domineering power, but it has been reduced to a situation where it is unpopular at home and difficult to overcome external troubles. Facts have proved that the leader's personal bravery is by no means necessary for long-term peace and stability."

"Oh?"

"The reason why I stay soft and vulnerable does not mean weakness, but a kind of tolerance and resilience that can tolerate small anger and wait for opportunities. This is true internally and the same externally."

"You think softness is better than strength."

"It should be soft and hard at the same time, soft at the right time and hard at the right time. With benevolent governance as the foundation of governing the country, and stabilizing resources as the way to strengthen the country, the country can last long. Military power and combat power are only temporary intimidation."

"Your ideas have impressed Xuan Li. From the perspective of governing the country, Xuan Xiao's vision is indeed not as good as yours, but the key point at hand is that the post-abolition matter is not clear. After all, everyone in Forest Prison does not believe that you have the courage and determination to reform."

Xuan Bin sighed: "The Black Queen is my savior. My attitude towards her is respect, and it is also based on my respect for my father, Aiwujiwu."

"So you just tolerate her making trouble."

"Eighth Emperor Brother, the problem of Black Moon has not been resolved yet. Give me a little more time. By then, I will plant the prison flag all over the misery."

"I will wait and see what you say. If there is any need, Xuanli will not stay away."

"There is something that needs to be troubled by the Eighth Emperor Brother."

"What's the matter?"

"My father has been in seclusion for too long. I am very worried about my father's safety and would like to invite the Sixth Emperor to visit the Jialuo Palace."

The sixth prince, Xuan Que, is the most brilliant magician in Forest Prison. He is good at using blood witch and dark magic. He is the only one who can break into the Jialuo Hall where the King of Hell retreats.

Xuanque always stayed out of the matter and only had good relations with Xuanli.

Xuanli pondered for a while, and found out that two of the four princes in Forest Prison died, plus the problems of Black Moon and the deposed queen, it was indeed necessary for his father to leave the prison.

He nodded in agreement: "I will go find Brother Sixth Emperor right now."

Xuanli resigned and left.

Xuan Bin stroked the iron armor on his legs. The coldness of the armor penetrated his hands and chilled his heart.

This leg was saved by the Black Queen, but Xuan Bin would never forget that this leg was also damaged by the Black Queen.

Not long after his father went into seclusion, he became terminally ill for no apparent reason. He was later rescued by the Black Empress and used secret techniques to save his life. However, he lost one of his legs and could only walk with a stick while covering it with iron armor.

Xuan Bin thanked Queen Hei for saving his life, and despite the objections of his brothers, he accepted Queen Hei as his mother.

He also acquiesced to the Black Queen's private departure from the Eternal Frost Tree.

This caused his prestige among the brothers and the courtiers in the prison to plummet.

Soon after, Xuan Bin learned from someone's informant that his menacing illness was the result of a conspiracy between the Black Queen and the Wood Clan's Crystal Spirit.

Hatred has been deeply rooted in Xuan Bin's heart since then.

Forbearance has become a lesson that Xuan Bin must practice day and night.

It's not time to fall out yet. The more she does, the more the Mori Prison Prince will oppose her and unite to her side.

What Xuan Bin really cares about is his father. After hundreds of years, is his father dead or is he planning something?
"I hope Xuan Que can find out the clues so that I can decide the next move."

To Xuan Bin's disappointment, Xuan Li came to report in the evening:

"The ladder to the sky in the Jialuo Palace was guarded by Xuan Bao, the younger brother of the Tenth Emperor. Together with the stone guards, Xuan Que returned without success."
