Chapter 446 King (End of this Volume)
That kind of blazing enthusiasm almost caused Ji Yanzhong's heart to tremble and sigh. Such reputation, such bearing, and such influence had already reached the level where one could become a king with just a wave of his hand.

Needless to say, he is the contemporary Red Emperor Ji Zichang.

Even those wise and holy kings in history definitely did not have such popularity at this age, and they did not have the courage and spirit to make such a call from a high place and cause a stir in all directions.

During these few years, Qin Wuhou fought in many places, starting as a fourteen-year-old fugitive, becoming a ranger in Zhenbei City, becoming the leader of a wandering army when he arrived in the Jiangnan area, and becoming the lord of the Qilin Army that liberated the entire Jiangnan area, fighting in the Western Regions and the Southwest.

Although he is young, he has fought in many battles all over the world and saved countless lives. He has also led the people across thousands of miles twice. Li Guanyi is well-known among the people and is well-known throughout the world.

Now, the people under his rule and the soldiers of the Qilin Army all have a simple idea in their hearts. In their hearts, Qin Wuhou of the Qilin Army is more approachable and real than the brutal king of Chen State and the emperor of Ying State.

Life with Qin Wuhou was better than in the other two countries.

Then in the simple value system of the people, it means that Qin Wuhou must be a very good person, better than Chen Huangyingdi. Even the youngest child will compare the rankings and want to be the first.

People always hope that the beings they like can live a better life.

The ideas of the Qilin Army soldiers were even simpler.

Damn it, we all won!

Lu Youxian of Chen, Yuwen Lie of Ying, and the legendary undefeated military god Jiang Su, were all defeated by our troops. Your heroism is no less than those two, so why is he only a prince?
Even Chen Dingye, who framed the Duke of Taiping and oppressed Marshal Yue, was an emperor, and Jiang Wanxiang of Ying State was also an emperor. Why is it that my lord is still just a prince at this moment? There is absolutely no such reason!
This kind of public opinion and military spirit come together.

It is the people's heart, it is the people's will, surging like a wave.

And it is something that people all over the world tacitly agree on - Li Guanyi already has a territory of thousands of miles, and has the courage and foundation to check and balance each other with Emperor Chen and Emperor Ying, so his name and status should also be raised.

Ji Yanzhong held this special imperial edict in his hand and walked through the hearts of people that were surging like the waves. Even for a man like him who had experienced so many things, he was still unconscious. His body was tense and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

There was no specific title written on this imperial edict.

There is only the heroic spirit and ambition of "The world is so big, you can take it as you please".

Qin Wuhou once said that people all over the world should confer titles on him...

But it seems that there will be another emperor in the world. Although it was during this period of time, seeing the momentum of the Qilin Army and the Tiance Mansion, he already had a vague premonition in his heart, and personally, he also admired and praised everything that this young prince had achieved.

But, considering his background and his bloodline.

But I can't help feeling a kind of pain.

The heroes of the past have not yet completely aged, and the new heroes have begun to show their fangs. The dukes are not enough, and they have to achieve the honorable position of emperors. If this is the case, how should the Red Emperor's lineage deal with it? Will their dignity be trampled on by the heroes of the troubled times?

Could it be that the final outcome of the Red Emperor's lineage is so tragic?

Thinking of this, Ji Yanzhong couldn't help but feel a great sense of sadness and powerlessness in his heart that was not controlled by his reason.

When they met Li Guanyi, he was handling government affairs and military intelligence. He was wearing only a dark green round-necked robe, a leather and gold belt around his waist, a hook for hanging a sword, and a jade hairpin to tie his hair.

He smiled and said, "Uncle Ji, please sit down. Please take a rest and drink some tea."

"I'll finish these things."

Ji Yanzhong held the imperial edict in his hands, but for some reason his heart skipped a beat. Li Guanyi clearly did not change at all, his expression was gentle, but in his every move, he seemed to have an indescribable spirit and charm, which made him feel a little frightened.

Li Guanyi at this moment seems to have changed a lot from before!
Only the trend of heaven and earth can temper people.

Li Guanyi's back already had a heroic and calm aura that Ji Zichang and Chen Dingye did not have. Ji Yanzhong drank a cup of tea and was in a trance for a long time. After Li Guanyi dealt with the military order for the mobilization of the army, he said, "It's rare for the old uncle to come."

"It's been a while since you came to Jiangnan."

Ji Yanzhong remained silent for a long time. He sighed and stopped hiding. He just gently put the imperial edict in his hand aside, looked at Li Guanyi, and said, "A few months ago, I came here with the imperial edict in compliance with the order of His Majesty the Red Emperor of Zhongzhou."

"At that time, the Lord said that we should wait until the matters at hand were resolved before discussing the enthronement."

"Now that the wars in various parts of the country have subsided, the vast world has entered a stage of recuperation. It should be time to resolve the matter as you said. I don't know when to change the title and inform the world."

Li Guanyi said: "Things and the situation have come to this point, let's start today."

Ji Yanzhong's heart tightened, and he said, "I don't know, what title do you want, my lord?"

He paused and took the initiative to say: "Now the people and soldiers of the world all hope that you will be crowned as the emperor, or the emperor. They feel that if you don't do this, you won't be able to compete with Emperor Chen and Emperor Ying."

"I don't know, sir..."

He looked at Li Guanyi.

Li Guanyi placed his palm on the imperial edict and suddenly smiled and said, "If, in the end, no matter what achievements I have made, I will not claim to be the emperor, what do you think, old uncle?"

Ji Yanzhong was shocked and asked subconsciously, "Your Excellency is planning to abdicate?"

Li Guanyi lost interest in continuing. He suddenly realized that the trajectory and foundation of this era determined a certain upper limit.

In fact, no one understands his true ideals. Without the underlying foundation and the trajectory of the entire era, it is impossible to reach a distant stage in one step. He can only go step by step.

Ji Yanzhong suggested earnestly: "No matter what, no matter how far you plan to go, I still suggest that you should not do anything about abdication. The achievements you have made are rare in ancient and modern times, such as the thirty-six Khans of the Western Regions and Qibili of the Golden Scimitar Cavalry."

"A great general from the Central Plains, a traitor from the State of Chen, and a student from the Central Plains."

"The Wolf King's Canglang Guards, the Qilin Army, and the Divine Generals of the Duke of Taiping."

"Each of these people is a hero of the world. No matter where they are, they are capable of rising to prominence. They can rely on their martial arts and bravery to lead an army and establish great achievements. All the great talents in the world are unruly."

"They are so calm now because they all obey you."

“Once you give up your position to someone else, they won’t recognize it.”

"Without enough people who can subdue them, there may not be any major conflicts at the beginning, but as time goes by, the fighting between them will gradually become more intense, and in the end, it will return to a chaotic world."

Li Guanyi held the imperial edict for a long time, and then said, "Old uncle, you are really a kind old man. Tell me such words."

Ji Yanzhong remained silent for a long time, his voice dry, and said: "You want to be the emperor."

"It's still the Emperor."

Li Guanyi moved his wrist, and the imperial edict with a green jade axis spread out on the table, pouring out like a vast river and mountains. Li Guanyi picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a word on the imperial edict with his wrist suspended.

Then he put the pen down.

Ji Yanzhong hurried to take a look, and saw a word written in the blank space on the imperial edict. It was majestic and looked like a seal, with an extraordinary and heroic spirit.

【king】!
Ji Yanzhong was stunned.

Li Guanyi did not call himself an emperor. This should have been something he was happy to see and development, but perhaps, even Ji Yanzhong himself felt in his heart that this prince was worthy of calling himself an emperor and be on par with Chen Huang Yingdi.

So when he saw these words, he was a little dazed.

He asked, "Why?"

Li Guanyi replied: "Now the Central Plains is divided into three parts, and there is also the grasslands above, watching covetously. The four directions have not been unified, the Central Plains have not been unified, and there is not even a common writing system and a common wheel gauge. How can you be called an emperor?"

If we can’t do this, how can we talk about the more distant future? How can we talk about moving towards a more distant era?

Everyone says that emperors, generals and ministers are the highest level of human beings.

The ambition of my generation.

It's gotta be bigger than this!
When Li Guanyi said this, it was from the heart, and Ji Yanzhong was a little shocked. Li Guanyi closed the imperial edict and put it in the hands of the old uncle, saying: "In addition, brother Ji, His Majesty the Red Emperor, treat me with sincerity."

"I will also treat him with sincerity."

"The past is rotten and cannot be reshaped. The dead and rotten things will inevitably be burned in the fire, but before all that happens, let me protect his dignity."

"A pot of wine that day, today."

"Reward him with one word: 'king'."

Ji Yanzhong was slightly stunned and dazed. For some reason, he suddenly felt that this imperial edict with the word "king" written on it was extremely heavy. As an old man who grew up under the glory of the Red Emperor, he actually had an urge to burst into tears.

When all the heroes in the world treated the Red Emperor of Central Plains as a puppet.

A man like Qin Wuhou, the most invincible general of this era, still nominally abides by the agreement he made with the Red Emperor. The heroes of the time hold swords in their hands and protect the dignity of the last generation of the Red Emperor.

What is placed on this imperial edict is the last bit of reputation of the Red Emperor’s dynasty.

Qin Wu values ​​his promises and friendship.

He understood, and everyone in the world understood, that Li Guanyi could make the powerful heroes under his command submit to him and allow the people to live a better life. With his courage and means, he could have been crowned emperor long ago, but he still called himself a king. He could do it, but he didn't do it, which showed his integrity.

Ji Yanzhong smiled, but with a bitter and complex sigh of gratitude:
"This is not something a prince or overlord would do."

Li Guanyi replied: "The person who wrote this word is Ji Zichang's friend."

Ji Yanzhong carefully put away the imperial edict, and then said: "I don't know, what position of king do you want?"

"Is it King Taiping or King Qilin?"

"Or we can continue to use the current title and nobility."

"King Wu of Qin."

Li Guanyi stated his choice. After Ji Yanzhong carefully recorded it, he stood up and said goodbye. Li Guanyi paced back and forth, looking at the file. The expression on his face restrained slightly and he pursed his lips.

This latest file records the gift sent by Emperor Chen Dingye.

Two gifts.

The first of these is -

King Shenwu, the head of Chen Fubi.

........................

Chen Wenmian almost ran all the way to where the gift was. Even though he had put it down and even though he had untied the wolf king's thousands of knots, when this scene appeared before his eyes, Chen Wenmian's mood still fluctuated violently.

The head of the Wolf King was not sent back in such a humiliating way as a wooden box. When Li Guanyi and Chen Wenmian arrived there and saw the Wolf King, the head of the Wolf King was placed on a wooden body. Even on that wooden body, there was a robe of the Regent King level, with a set of armor underneath, and wooden hands folded on the chest.

The wolf king Chen Fubi's eyes were still wide open, as if he would still be fighting until his death.

Chen Wenmian's mind was almost broken in an instant. This godly general who had already become famous on the battlefield and had fought against thousands of troops at the young age of 20 suddenly softened his steps and knelt in front of the coffin, pressing his hands on the coffin and clenching his teeth.

His eyes were red, and big tears fell silently from the corners of Chen Wenmian's eyes. His hands were shaking, but under such a shock, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't even utter a low cry.

Li Guanyi looked at the head of the wolf king, who was holding Chen Dingye's second gift.

That was the letter of alliance from the Great Khan of the Turks to the State of Chen.

Even Chen Dingye, who had reached the end, looked down upon the bloodthirsty and bloody and lost everything, did not form an alliance with the Turkic steppes, join forces internally and externally, and let the Turkic cavalry transform into a caravan and appear in the Chen State to attack the Central Plains.

He also directly gave the Turkic alliance to Li Guanyi and Jiang Wanxiang.

In times of crisis like this, an indescribable heroism appeared.

Li Guanyi looked at the words on the letter. It was written by Chen Dingye himself. The feminine air from five years ago had faded away, and now it had a chilling and chilling air, like the bared fangs of a poisonous dragon.

"I killed your parents, I ruined your future, and I took away your destiny."

Chen Dingye's foresight could already foresee the future of the Chen Kingdom and his own fate, so he admitted what he had done, and then said -

"Come and kill each other!"

"Nice head, Li Guanyi."

"I'm waiting for you!"

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes, with an undisguised murderous intent towards Chen Dingye in his eyes. The letter in his hand shattered. Li Guanyi said softly: "It is only natural to repay kindness and revenge."

"Don't worry, Chen Dingye, your head."

"I will take it down myself to comfort my parents' spirits in heaven."

At the same time, Ying State had an envoy who came to Jiangnan with a secret letter. The words on the letter said that Ying State hoped to form an alliance with Li Guanyi and destroy Chen State while recuperating.

In the eyes of the world, Ying State, which had experienced several major defeats, should be wary and cautious of the young Qilin. At this time, it should form an alliance with Chen State to resist Jiangnan.

But Jiang Wanxiang made another choice. He chose to join forces with Qilin in Jiangnan first, and wanted to first destroy the wealthy Chen State that occupied the south of the Central Plains.

After the world was divided into two, the dragon and the tiger fought for the world in a fair and square manner.

The old king, who was scolded by Jiang Gao, picked up his heroic spirit and grandeur again. When he was old, he regained the heroism and unwillingness of his youth. He planned to join forces with the troops in the south of the Yangtze River to destroy the State of Chen.

[After we destroy the State of Chen first, you and I will divide the world into two]!
[At that time, we will take up arms again and fight for the world]!
"What a heroic spirit..."

Even Po Jun, Wen Lingjun and the others had to sigh quietly. The situation in the world was turbulent, just like rowing against the current. The further they went forward, the more turbulent the waves and obstacles they would encounter.

In today's world, the Turkic steppes are eyeing the Central Plains covetously, and the Great Khan has no intention of concealing his desire for the Central Plains.

Perhaps it was because the three forces in the Central Plains had been fighting and conquering for more than two years and were in a period of national hardship and exhaustion. The aged Second God General, the Great Khan, felt that his last chance before his death had come.

The Iron Pagoda, the heaviest cavalry in the world, sharpened its claws and fangs. Under the leadership of the second divine general, it gritted its teeth and sucked blood on the vast grassland, looking coldly at the people and lives of the Central Plains.

After a long period of fighting and slaughter, the Central Plains needed to rest and recuperate.

The conflicts and hatreds between them were entangled like thousands of knots that could not be untied. The body of the Wolf King was protected by special means. The body of the martial arts legend would not decay after death. After Chen Dingye sent back the head of the Wolf King.

Chen Wenmian reassembled the wolf king's body and buried it in Jiangnan.

This was the place where Chen Fubi and Li Wanli had lived their happiest days in their youth. Chen Wenmian paid tribute to his father and swore with the double-edged sword in his hand that he would kill his blood enemy Jiang Su with his own hands.

After Chen Wenmian left, Li Guanyi came here alone, carrying a pot of wine to offer sacrifice to the Wolf King. No matter how heroic a hero was during his lifetime, after death, he would only be buried in the earth, and all the glory and heroism in his lifetime would become nothingness.

Li Guanyi sat cross-legged, picked up Jiangnan's strong liquor, poured it on the Wolf King's grave, and said, "Uncle, we successfully forced Jiang Su to retreat, and we also have new territory. We were planning to rest well, but what a pity."

"The Great Khan of the Turks on the grassland is not prepared to give the Central Plains this time and opportunity. He is very hostile to us and is a real enemy. The three families in the Central Plains have chosen to stop for the time being, but the grassland is not prepared to let us catch our breath."

"Jiang Wanxiang probably intends to hand over Ying State's destiny to Jiang Su."

"Chen Dingye, I don't know what he is going to do."

"This guy has a low character, but I don't know how many vicious thoughts are in his mind. If you are not careful and underestimate him, he might bite you hard in the end. If you don't die, you will be seriously injured."

"Mr. Yan Daiqing said that many kings from ancient times would often begin to change when they reached our current stage. The bravery and heroism at the beginning seemed to slowly disappear, and they began to covet pleasure."

"As a result, the period of time when they were opening up their territory was when they were at their strongest."

"We are certainly not like that."

"We still have too many enemies in this world, Jiang Su, Jiang Wanxiang, Chen Dingye, the Steppe Turks, the third divine general Gao Xiang, Yuwen Lie, He Ruo Qinhu... It's far from time to rest."

"I want to avenge my parents' blood, and Wen Mian wants to avenge you."

"There are more and more enemies and opponents. I used to think that once I solved the problems at hand, made my way out, and established myself, things would get much better. But things in this world are often not that simple. When you solve some problems, more will emerge."

"We should attack the State of Chen or the grassland first."

"We need to accumulate our living strength to fight the last enemy. Besides, I have a promise... I once made a promise with a girl. At that time, I was in a very miserable state, like a beggar who was chased away by the dogs."

"She helped me get out of this situation at that time, and I swear to her."

"One day, I will become a hero of the world, and then I will return to Chen State with thousands of troops to find her. I want her to wait for me."

"I already have a huge army, so I'm considered a little hero."

"It's time to fulfill the promise."

"Whether it's her or not, go get Chen Dingye's head and avenge my parents."

"Love on one side, hate on the other. People like me in this world are tied to these two ends..."

Li Guanyi whispered softly, pouring out all the wine in his hand. He finally stood up and said, "My parents' bodies should still be in the palace of Chen State. My father's martial arts are also nine-layered, so his body will not be burned by the fire."

"When I go to take revenge, I will bring them back home."

"You two retired from society and became neighbors in your lifetime, but you didn't succeed until now. If you can be together, you can drink good wine together."

He paused and said, "By the way, I am the king."

"The ceremony will be grand. Perhaps people from Chen State, Ying State and Zhongzhou will also come. Mr. Yan Daiqing's eyes are a little dark. I really hope he can have a good rest." Li Guanyi chuckled and lit three incense sticks.

The aroma rises up.

Above the vast grassland, a handsome eagle flapped its wings, flew across the vast earth, and flew across the iron pagoda whose armor was shining with a cold light. The old and heroic Khan held a magic bow in his hand and shot the eagle.

The bird of prey was hit by an arrow and fell down in a spin.

The fallen leaves are stirred up and tumbled.

The leaves floated and fell into the lake of the Chen Kingdom Palace, creating ripples.

The white-haired, radical but re-energized emperor played the bone pipa with a gloomy and cold aura. The destiny of the State of Chen no longer had the grand and majestic momentum of soaring into the sky, but it had the spirit of a poisonous dragon.

The sound of a pipa rose on the ground and the stars appeared in the sky.

It was finally held in the hands of the old and dying Canglong on the Zhaixing Tower.

The vast grassland, the boundless north, the prosperous Chen, the heroic Ying, the mountains and rivers of the world, crisscrossed like outlined lines, were finally covered by the fine lines in the palms of the young prince's clasped hands.

Li Guanyi looked at the smoke rising from the three incense sticks with clear eyes.

In a trance, I saw familiar figures behind the white smoke, including the heroic wolf king, the warm-hearted teacher, the quietly smiling ancestor, the woman gently humming a lullaby, and the father who only knew that he was invincible in golden armor.

Li Guanyi's sleeves drooped and rolled slightly. He stood up and picked up his cloak. When he turned around, the cloak that Tianhan was wearing flowed over them like waves. Li Guanyi turned around, with his back to his old friend, and said:

"Thank you, everyone. But the road ahead is not over yet. I have to keep going forward. I can't stay here, I can't stay by your side. This world is so big, I will..."

Li Guanyi's voice paused, then he laughed softly and stretched out his hand.

"Let me overstep my bounds this time."

The hands that walked through the fields, picked herbs, held swords, and raised spears clenched.

He walked away with long, firm steps, his sleeves and cloak billowing like waves, and said:

“I won’t stagnate.”

"I will surpass you."

"Set foot on the world!"

[Above] He is an extraordinary person, as open-minded as the Red Emperor, as mighty as a hegemon. Although he is young, he is destined to be a talent. When the empire is in turmoil and heroes are vying for power, he picks up a three-foot sword and unifies the world within a few years.

He wore armor and personally walked on the front line of the army. His military uniform was stained with horse sweat, and his helmet was infested with lice. He leveled the country and saved the lives of the people. Within a few years, the four directions were at peace.

World name——

King Qin! ! !

Outside the northern border where Saibei and Yingguo intersect, Yue Pengwu received a letter. He scanned it with his tiger eyes and saw two words.

【Meet】!
