The devil is coming

Chapter 925 Chu Feng
The starry sky is bright;
The emperor, who had taken off his two layers of armor, was leaning on the crenellations of the small military fort. Beside him stood the Great Yan Black Dragon Flag.
Ma Yang was escorted up by two royal guards and knelt down in front of the emperor.
This newly promoted centurion of the Chu Kingdom had some mental problems and was in a state of confusion;
Not long ago, he was a brave and tough guy who dared to attack the Yan people's sentry cavalry, but now, all his courage was crushed.
Everyone has their own tolerance limit. Once this limit is exceeded, they will collapse. This is the case for Ma Yang.
King Pingxi walked slowly over. The black armor on his body had been reforged by Xue San with special materials. On weekdays, it was black, but under the light of candles, it glowed with silver.
It’s different from the early years when King Pingxi didn’t like wearing bright armor or even riding Pixiu.
Nowadays, King Pingxi has many direct soldiers and horses around him, as well as personal guards such as Sword Master A Ming, so he has the capital to strengthen himself.
The emperor, who had just kicked the door but was still extremely tired,
Still raising his head at this moment,
Looking at the first "enemy general" he captured alive...well, he was probably also the last "enemy general";
At the same time, the emperor did not feel at all that he was just putting on a boring show. Instead, his tired body was still full of interest;
He knew his identity well, and it was remarkable that he could achieve this step. Even so, Zheng also shouldered a great burden and also gave him a high level of understanding to make it possible.
"Do you know who I am?"
the emperor asked.
The prince standing next to him glanced at the emperor who asked the question like a fool.
The emperor himself was unaware of it.
Ma Yang's eyes began to focus again, but soon fell into confusion.
And then,
King Pingxi stretched out his hand, pinched the back of Ma Yang's neck, and slapped his face directly on the adobe brick.
"boom!"
After lifting it again,
blood splattered,
It also sprinkled on the emperor's armor, giving the brand-new armor a chance to see blood.
Although his face looked like a dye shop, Ma Yang really woke up.
"Do you know who he is?"
The emperor pointed to Zheng Fan and asked Ma Yang.
After Ma Yang pursed his lips a few times, he still answered: "Ping...Ping Xiwang."
Here, no one dares to pretend to be King Pingxi. Ma Yang firmly believes this.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction,
Pointing to his face again,
asked;
"Then who am I?"
Ma Yang shook his head in confusion:
"No...don't know."
"……"emperor.
Ma Yang was born a commoner, and he really didn't know that "I" was the emperor's exclusive title;
Moreover, in this environment, although his mind was clear, it had nothing to do with calmness, and he could not quickly figure out who could continue to sit there leisurely while Prince Pingxi stood there.
"This can't work. You have to know who I am. After all, you are the first enemy general I have captured alive. Listen up, I am the emperor of Dayan!"
……
"Ma Yang, I think you are crazy, I think you are really crazy!
what did you say?
The ones who attacked your military fortress were King Pingxi's royal guards?
Did you also see the Sword Master and a Qi Refiner flying up in the air?
Did you also see King Pingxi himself charging into the battle carrying the royal flag?
You even said,
Were you captured alive by the emperor of Yan?
Can you come up with a better excuse for absconding out of fear of the enemy? Why don't you say that you saw all the Buddhas in the sky coming to your military fort and commandeering it? "
Ma Yang lay prone on the ground without any excuse.
Ever since he floated back on a raft and was picked up by the Chu army, he had always been in this posture, answering whatever was asked, and the rest of the time, he was just dull.
At this time,
A tall man wearing a python robe walked into the military tent;
The general who had been reprimanding Ma Yang immediately knelt down when he saw this:
"See you, Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty..."
The man in front of him is Xiong Tingshan, the brother of the Emperor of Chu, who is now in charge of the Imperial Guards along the Wei River.
Behind Xiong Tingshan, there stood a handsome young man. Who else could he be if he wasn't Xie Yu'an?
After several battles between Yan and Chu in the past few years,
Generals on both sides have fallen to varying degrees.
But the losses on Chu's side were undoubtedly much greater;
Moreover, the Yan State could have the rise of King Pingxi and complete the replacement of the old and the new. However, the Chu State would inevitably start to be stretched in terms of generals and generals.
To be a commander, you must not only have strong military command capabilities, but also have the prestige to convince your troops;
Therefore, in the early days, the Emperor of Chu asked Xie Zhuyang, the head of the Xie family, to take charge of the Weihe River defense line. When Xie Zhuyang led the Xie family army to fight in the Liang and Zhao lands, Xiong Tingshan took over the extremely important Weihe River defense line.
After Nian Yao was defeated and captured, the Chu army basically had only these two people who could carry the flag, and the situation was severe.
Xiong Tingshan turned to look at Xie Yuan standing behind him and asked:
"What do you think?"
"I think it may be true. The secret message I received a few days ago is that King Pingxi accompanied the Emperor of Yan on an eastward patrol to Xuehaiguan. Now if we calculate the time, they came out of Xueguan and went to the boundary of Zhennanguan. It’s not unusual to come here for a stroll.”
"Isn't this unusual?" Xiong Tingshan asked.
As an emperor, he actually went to the battlefield in person, and only attacked a newly built small military fort with only twenty old, weak, sick and disabled people. This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"Nothing is impossible. Emperor Yan and King Xi have known each other since they were young. I feel that the relationship between the two of them may not be just a pure relationship like in the history books, where the emperor and his ministers once got along well and now they are jealous;
I can't tell you, but there is some real feeling in it;
If the Emperor of Yan said he wanted to smell the military atmosphere himself, the prince might really come to satisfy him.
This is in line with the 'crazy words' spoken by this centurion.
Royal Guards, Sword Master, Qi Master, King Banner, Emperor...
There is a saying among the people that you should accompany the prince to study.
You can add the second half of the sentence later.
Accompany the emperor to attack the city. "
Xiong Tingshan said in a deep voice: "The Emperor of Yan and King Pingxi of Yan are on the other side right now?"
"We are inseparable. Why, what is the prince planning to do?
Since they dare to come, they are naturally confident. Maybe the entire Zhennanguan cavalry is already waiting in Shanggu County. "
"Is there anything very safe in this world?" Xiong Tingshan asked.
Xie Yuan smiled and said: "General Nian thought the same way back then."
"Don't mention Nian Yao to me."
Obviously, General Nian, who is now the eunuch supervisor in the Yan Kingdom's palace, has become one of the two major national humiliations of Da Chu;
Another national humiliation is Qu Peiluo, the former young master of the Qu family who was in charge of security in Fengxin City.
Xiong Tingshan walked out of the tent and looked at the stars in the sky, his eyebrows filled with worry.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to miss this opportunity?"
Xie Yuan came over and asked.
"what do you want to say in the end."
"What I want to say is that the showdown between our country, Dachu, and Yan is no longer in the present, but five years from now.
Originally, we had a chance to take advantage of Yan Ren's weakness and overthrow this seemingly gigantic but empty-headed being. Unfortunately, something went wrong on Gan Ren's side.
Offensive and defensive castling is a complete offensive and defensive castling.
At the moment, no matter how hard I, Da Chu, try, I will always lose, so I might as well wait. "
"Brother Huang is training Da Chu's future, I understand, but he, the Yan people, are also recuperating."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Xie Yuan is very open-minded.
"There is really no chance now, let's see in the future."
"Will there be a chance in the future?"
"At least it can be delayed for a while." Xie Yu'an waved his hand and turned around, "I brought some good tea from home. Why don't you come and taste it, Your Majesty?"
"Not in the mood."
"That would be a pity."
Xie Yuan left slowly.
After the great victory in Liang Dynasty, the status of the Xie family in the Chu Kingdom increased unprecedentedly. In the past, the nobility of Chu felt that the Xie family was an unworthy presence in the aristocratic hierarchy. But now, as the emperor gradually compresses the traditional aristocratic power, it has The nobles, who were far less brave than before, began to instinctively move closer to the Xie family, hoping to use the Xie family, the only remaining tall tree of the noble family, to block the wind and rain;
Because of this, the Xie family can now be said to be a well-deserved leader among the many forces in Da Chu.
But the Xie family is still responsible, even more responsible than before.
The momentum was built up, but no other thoughts were taken, at least, no obvious actions were taken.
Not only that, after the young master of the Xie family came back from Liang, he returned to the Emperor of Chu in the capital of Ying and was highly regarded. The emperor even promised her to be a princess and marry her when she comes of age;
This time,
Xie Yuan was sent by the emperor to inspect the Weihe defense line.
Therefore,
Xiong Tingshan's status is indeed respected, but the current young master of the Xie family really has no need to be afraid of him.
Xie Yuan, who returned to his tent, did not make any tea.
Instead, he leaned against the entrance of the tent, blowing the evening breeze from the north, while looking at the topographic map hanging in his tent.
One is Zhennanguan and the other is Fancheng.
Yanren's two claws penetrated Da Chu's body early, making it extremely difficult for half of Chu to turn over.
What happened tonight,
It further illustrates a fact that makes people with lofty ideals in Chu feel depressed and despairing;
The emperor wants to play,
The prince accompanies him to make trouble;
This means that the internal divisions and conflicts in the Yan Kingdom will most likely reach a kind of harmony and stability with the joint tacit understanding and efforts of the emperor and the prince.
The civil strife in Yan that the carnivores of Qian and Chu are looking forward to may not happen.
What is it again?
How can we get them to do this?
What else is there?
Is it worth it for them to go this far?
I'm afraid
That's the only thing.
This is an act,
It seems absurd,
In fact, it was performed for the entire Zhuxia people to see.
……
Yingdu,
new capital,
But this palace seems a bit small.
When Xiong Liqing entered the city of Yanjing to be granted a title, she said: "The Imperial Palace of Yan State is far worse than our Imperial Palace of Chu State", which made the first emperor of Yan State laugh loudly;
nowadays,
The Dachu Imperial Palace is really inferior to the one in Yanjing City.
This kind of frugality set by the emperor's example has indeed given new hope to all the ministers of the Chu Kingdom;
But sometimes, with the step-by-step rise of the neighbor to the north, it can also make people feel sad when facing this palace.
The Emperor of Chu had just finished meeting his ministers and was enjoying a bowl of lotus seed soup.
His body has always been very good.
One of the signs is that after he became regent, several princes and princesses were born every year.
This is also a kind of weathervane for the emperor to declare that he is powerful.
Of course, the reason for such hard work is also because of the previous rebellion of the Chu princes and the liquidation in the following years, plus the destruction of Yingdu, the direct line of the Xiong family's Tian family bloodline withered too much and fell into the red. There are too many, so we can only try our best to make up for it.
Three envelopes sent from the Weihe River were placed in front of Emperor Chu.
But what Emperor Chu was looking at was not them, but a letter home from his sister in Fengxin City.
It can be seen that his sister's feelings for him are not much left.
Once upon a time, this sister of mine had some feelings for him that might have gone beyond the love between brother and sister;
Now, he and he have become familiar strangers.
The fundamental reason for this situation is
Not because he had rejected her and forced her to marry the Qu family;
It wasn’t because she knew about the side effects of giving pills;
He knew his girl very well. She looked cute and charming, but in fact, she had a subtle calculation similar to that of a queen mother.
"So, that's funny, huh?"
The emperor, who was eating soup, suddenly changed his tone and was talking to himself.
Fortunately, there were no servants in this hall, so no one would be surprised, but the scene itself was already very strange.
The emperor's eyes narrowed,
He put down the bowl,
Start to print.
But his mouth was still opening and speaking:
"Why is she so indifferent? You know the reason. It doesn't depend on how you treat her. As long as you are still useful and as long as you can still bring her support, she will still be enthusiastic about you.
Indifference is because she no longer disdains you, nor does she disdain Da Chu. "
Emperor Chu continued to seal;
"She gave birth to a child, and she was also a princess, but she was the princess of the Yan Kingdom.
right now,
She no longer takes her Princess Chu's affairs as something to be proud of.
She is proud that she is the woman of King Pingxi of the Yan Kingdom and the mother-concubine of King Pingxi's children, hahahaha.
Emperor of the Xiong family,
This is your life,
Your life!
You are confident that you have calculated everything, you think that you can calmly clean up this mountain and start over, and you are sure that you will do better.
But you don’t even look at it,
north,
Will you be given this opportunity?
Not only did they not mess up, but they won again and again.
they,
I really don’t give you any chance at all! "
While Emperor Chu was talking to himself, he continued to seal very calmly, and streaks of light golden luster began to flow from his fingertips.
"Zhezi, have you read it?
coming,
Again,
It's really here again,
The scene you least expected to see happened again in Yan Kingdom.
The iron triangle of the Yan State in the previous generation, and the dragons and dragons of the Yan State in this generation are neck and neck.
Emperor of the Xiong family,
What do you win with?
You tell me,
What do you do to win? "
Emperor Chu began to place his handprints on himself layer by layer. Every time he added it, it brought extremely terrible pain, but Emperor Chu's movements were not hindered.
"I have seen several generations of the Xiong family, several generations of Xiong family emperors. To be honest, you are the only one I can like. Those before you are really ordinary people. They are not as good as your ancestors." A few generations are so far apart.
But it's a pity,
Your life is not in your hands,
You became the emperor, you became the emperor,
But God’s will,
I don’t care about you! "
Emperor Chu said:
"God's will, will we definitely win?"
Then, Emperor Chu’s expression changed again:
"No, it seems that God's will can't win, but God's will can't win. Why do you think that without God's will, you still have hope to win?"
"what are you talking about?"
"I just came out for some air. When you choose to integrate me into yourself, you should expect that one day, when you gain a longer lifespan, the bond between you and me will become deeper and deeper. Just like your... ancestor."
"I'm asking God's will."
"God's will is no longer there, and God's will cannot win. Or, God's will has to change. It may continue, but it will be different from before."
"You're so...noisy"
"Do you think I'm annoying? You can still suppress me now, but what about in the future? If... you still have a future."
"I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself."
"Is it like the late emperor of Yan State? He seems to be such a person, and you seem to have always admired him, but..."
"But what?"
"he died."
"Yes, he is dead, but I...am still alive."
"No, you got me wrong, he's dead.
The old Pi Xiu in the Imperial Palace of Yan State has been preserved much better than me.
You feel,
Would that old Pixiu look down on him?
He could have been the same as you. The true emperor's energy is what spiritual beings like us need most and is also the basis for our existence.
but,
result,
But he died.
Just because he died,
you,
Don't ever think of being better than him in this life! "
"To shut up!"
The last seal is finished,
Emperor Chu closed his eyes,
When I open my eyes again,
He picked up the bowl of cold lotus seed soup again and continued to eat it one spoonful at a time.
After finishing the last bite,
When it bottoms out,
Only then did Emperor Chu discover that dense cracks had appeared at the bottom of the original blue and white bowl, and blood was soaked in the cracks.
Take the bowl away,
There were also small wounds on the palm where he had previously held the bowl, soaked with blood.
Emperor Chu put his palm on the imperial case,
Pick it up again,
A bloody handprint was left on it.
He clenched his fist,
closed eyes,
Immediately, the palms and eyelids slowly opened almost together, and the wounds on the palms had healed.
he died,
he died……
Suddenly,
Emperor Chu picked up a brush on the imperial desk, pointed it at his palm, and poked it. The brush penetrated his palm directly, and blood began to gush out.
And he,
But he couldn't feel the slightest pain.
Emperor Chu's face showed a look of self-deprecation.
muttered;
"As an emperor, you should be fearless. In the name of the emperor, what you actually do is the most disrespectful thing to heaven.
Therefore,
he,
Not willing to die,
But even death cannot make him fear it. "
Emperor Chu took out the brush,
Watching my wound begin to slowly stop bleeding on its own...
“I once thought that our Chu country did not have Tian Wujing, Li Liangting, or that invincible cavalry;
But in fact,
Chu State and Yan State are the farthest apart.
It's the emperor. "
