Devil’s Advent

starry sky;

The emperor, who took off his two layers of armor, leaned on the crenel of this small military fort, and beside him stood the Great Swallow and Black Dragon Banner.

Ma Yang was brought up by two guards in brocade clothes, and he knelt down in front of the emperor.

The newly promoted centurion of Chu State had some mental problems, showing a state of confusion;

Not long ago, he was a resolute and tough guy who dared to take the initiative to attack the sentry cavalry of the Yan people, but now, he has been defeated and lost all his courage.

Everyone has their own tolerance limit. After exceeding this limit, they will collapse. This is the case of Ma Yang.

King Pingxi walked slowly. The Xuanjia on his body was reforged by Xue San with special materials. Normally, it was black, but under the light of the candle, it would glow silver.

It's different from the early years when King Pingxi didn't like bright armor or even riding Pixiu.

Today's King Pingxi has many soldiers and horses from his direct lineage, as well as personal guards such as the sword master A Ming, and he already has the capital to cheer up.

The emperor, who obviously just kicked the door but is still extremely tired,

Still looking up at this moment,

Looking at the first enemy general captured alive in his life... Well, it is likely to be the last enemy general;

At the same time, the emperor didn't feel that he was just doing a show that was boring, but he was still full of interest in his tired body;

He knew his identity clearly, and being able to do this was already a big deal. Even for this, the person surnamed Zheng had to bear a lot of burden and at the same time gave him a very high level of understanding to make it happen.

Know me, who is it?

asked the emperor.

The prince standing by the side glanced at the emperor who asked the question like a fool.

The emperor himself was unaware.

Ma Yang's eyes began to refocus, but soon fell into confusion.

And at this time,

King Pingxi stretched out his hand, grabbed the back of Ma Yang's neck, and slapped his face directly on the clay brick.

boom!

After lifting again,

blood splatter,

It also sprinkled on the emperor's armor, giving the brand new armor a chance to see blood.

Although it looked like a dye shop had been opened on his face, Ma Yang really woke up.

Do you know who he is?

The emperor pointed to Zheng Fan and asked Ma Yang.

After Ma Yang smacked his lips a few times, he still answered: Ping... King Pingxi.

Here, no one dares to pretend to be King Pingxi, Ma Yang firmly believes in this.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction,

Pointing to his face again,

asked;

Then who am I?

Ma Yang shook his head suspiciously:

No... I don't know.

……emperor.

Ma Yang was born as a commoner, so he really didn't know that zhen is the emperor's exclusive self-proclaimed name;

Moreover, in this environment, although his mind was clear, it had nothing to do with being calm, and he couldn't quickly figure out who could continue to sit there leisurely while Prince Pingxi was standing.

It won't work, you have to know who I am, after all, you are the first enemy general I captured alive, listen carefully, I am the emperor of Dayan!

...

Ma Yang, I think you are crazy, I think you are really crazy!

What did you say?

Was it King Pingxi's royal guards who attacked your fort?

Did you also see the Juggernaut and a Qi Refiner flying up from the sky?

Did you see King Pingxi himself carrying the king's flag and rushing into battle?

You even said,

You were captured alive by the emperor of Yan Kingdom?

Can you find a better excuse to come back from absconding in fear of the enemy, why don't you say that you saw all the Buddhas descending on your military fort and confiscated your military fort!

Ma Yang prostrated himself on the ground without any excuse.

Ever since he floated on a raft and was picked up by the Chu army, he has always been in this posture, answering whatever he asks, and the rest of the time, he is only dull.

At this time,

A stalwart man wearing a python robe walked into the military tent;

The general who was reprimanding Ma Yang before saw this immediately knelt down:

See the prince, why is the prince...

The person in front of him is the brother of the Great Chu Emperor, Xiong Tingshan, who is now in charge of the Royal Guards along the Wei River.

Behind Xiong Tingshan, there is a handsome young man, who is it not Xie Yu'an?

After several battles in Yanchu in the past few years,

The stars of both sides have fallen to varying degrees,

But the losses on Chu's side are undoubtedly much greater;

Moreover, Yan State can have the rise of King Pingxi and complete the transition from old to new, while on the Chu State's side, it is inevitable that the generals will be stretched.

To be handsome, you must not only have a strong military command ability, but also have the prestige to convince your troops;

Therefore, in the early days, the Emperor Chu let Xie Zhuyang, the Patriarch of the Xie family, be in charge of the defense line of the Weihe River, and when Xie Zhuyang led the Xie family army into the land of Liang and Zhao to fight, the extremely important defense line of the Weihe River was taken over by Xiong Tingshan.

After Nian Yao was defeated and captured, the military of Great Chu basically had only these two figures who could carry the flag, and they were very weak.

Xiong Tingshan turned his head to look at Xie Yuan who was standing behind him, and asked:

What do you think?

I think it may be true. The secret package I received a few days ago was that King Pingxi accompanied Emperor Yan to the Xueguan Pass. Now, if we count the time, they came out of Xueguan Pass and then went to the border of Zhennan Pass. It’s not uncommon to come and visit.”

Is this not unusual? Xiong Tingshan asked.

As the 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.

Nothing is impossible. The Emperor of Yan and the King of Xi met each other at a very young age. I think that the relationship between the two of them may be more than just the pure relationship in the history books.

It’s hard to say, but there is some truth in it;

If the Emperor of Yan State said he wanted to personally smell the military atmosphere, the prince might really come to satisfy him.

This coincides with the 'crazy talk' said by the centurion.

Jinyi personal guard, sword master, Qi refiner, Wang Qi, emperor...

There is a folk saying that it is called to accompany the prince to study,

I can add the second half of the sentence later,

Accompany the emperor to attack the city.

Xiong Tingshan said in a deep voice: Emperor Yan and King Pingxi of Yan are on the other side right now?

It's almost inseparable, why, what does the prince plan to do?

Since they dared to come, they naturally had nothing to fear. It could be said that all the iron cavalry in Zhennanguan were already waiting in Shanggu County.

In this world, where is there anything safe? Xiong Tingshan asked back.

Xie Yu'an smiled and said, General Nian also thought the same way back then.

Don't mention Nian Yao to me.

Apparently, General Nian, who is now serving as the eunuch supervisor in Yan State Palace, has become one of the two great national disgraces of Great 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, looked at the stars in the sky, his brows were full of worry.

My lord, 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 duel between my Great Chu and the Yan Kingdom is no longer in the present, but in five years' time.

Originally, we had the opportunity to take advantage of Yanren's puffiness and overthrow this seemingly gigantic existence, but it was a pity that something went wrong with Qianren.

Offensive and defensive translocation is a complete offensive and defensive translocation.

At the moment, no matter how hard I, Da Chu, lose, I might as well wait.

Brother Huang is training Da Chu's future, I understand, but he is also a Yan native, resting and recuperating.

It's impossible.

Xie Yu'an was quite open-minded.

There is really no chance right now, let's see later.

In the future, will there be a chance?

At least I can procrastinate for a while. Xie Yu'an waved his hand and turned around, I brought some good tea from home, won't your lord come to taste it together?

Not interested.

That would be a pity.

Xie Yu'an left slowly.

After the great victory in Liangdi, the Xie family's status in the state of Chu has risen unprecedentedly. In the past, the nobles of Chu thought that the Xie family was an unworthy existence in the noble sequence, but now, with the emperor's step-by-step compression of the traditional aristocratic power, it has become a reality. The nobles, who were far from the courage of the past, began to move closer to the Xie family instinctively, hoping to use the Xie family, the only tree with huge roots remaining in the noble family, to block the wind and rain;

Because of this, the Xie family can now be said to be a well-deserved pole among the many forces in the Great Chu.

But the Xie family still did their duty, even more so than before.

The momentum was raised, but no other thoughts were moved, at least, no obvious actions.

Not only that, after the young master of the Xie family came back from the land of Liang, he returned to the side of the Emperor Chu in Yingdu, and was highly valued. The emperor even promised him a princess, and married when he was an adult;

this time,

Xie Yu'an was sent by the emperor to inspect the Weihe defense line.

so,

It's true that Xiong Tingshan's status is respected, but the current young master of the Xie family really doesn't have the need to fear and fear him.

Xie Yu'an, who returned to her tent, didn't make any tea,

Instead, he leaned against the entrance of the tent, and while blowing the evening wind from the north, he looked at the topographic map hanging in his tent.

One Zhennanguan, one Fancheng,

Yan Ren's two claws pierced Da Chu's body early, making it extremely difficult for half of the Chu country to turn over.

what happened tonight,

It also illustrates a fact that makes Chu people feel dejected and desperate;

The emperor wants to play,

The prince will make trouble with him;

This means that the division and contradictions within the Yan Kingdom have most likely achieved a kind of harmony and stability with the tacit understanding and efforts of the emperor and the prince.

The domestic strife in Yan that the meat-eaters of the Gan and Chu countries were looking forward to might not happen.

what is it

How can they do this?

what else

Is it worth it for them to take this step?

I'm afraid

Only that is the same.

It's a play,

seems absurd,

In fact, it was performed for the entire Zhu Xia people.

...

Yingdu,

new capital,

But this imperial palace seems a little pocket-sized.

When Xiong Liqing entered Yanjing City and was conferred the 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 burst out laughing;

nowadays,

The Great Chu Palace is really no match for the one in Yanjing City.

This kind of frugality from the emperor's example has indeed given new hope to all the courtiers of Chu State;

But sometimes, with the step-by-step rise of the neighbor to the north, it can also make people feel sad when facing the palace.

The Emperor Chu had just finished seeing his courtiers and was eating a bowl of lotus seed soup.

His body has always been good.

One of the signs is that after he became the regent, several princes and princesses were born every year.

This is also a kind of wind vane for the emperor to swear that he is strong.

Of course, the reason for working so hard is also because of the rebellion of the princes of the Chu State and the liquidation in the following years, and when Yingdu was destroyed, the bloodline of the Xiong family, the direct descendant of the Xiong family, withered too much, and the deficit fell. Too much, I can only try to make up for it.

The three letters sent from Weihe were placed in front of Emperor Chu at this moment.

But it was not them that Emperor Chu was looking at, but a letter from his sister's family in Fengxincheng.

It can be seen that his sister's feelings for him are not much left.

Once upon a time, this younger sister of mine had some kind of affection for herself that might have surpassed the relationship between brother and sister;

Right now, he and himself have become familiar strangers.

The root cause of this situation,

It's not because he rejected her and forced her to marry Qu;

Nor was it because she knew about the side effects of sending bird pills;

He knows his sister too well. His sister looks cute and cute, but in her bones, she has a kind of subtle calculation similar to that of a mother.

So, it's ridiculous, isn't it?

The emperor, who was eating soup, suddenly changed his tone and was talking to himself.

Fortunately, there are no servants in this hall, so no one will be surprised, but the scene itself is already very strange.

The emperor's eyes narrowed,

He put down the bowl,

Start pinching.

But his mouth is still opening to speak:

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, as long as you can bring her to rely on, she will still be enthusiastic about you.

The indifference is because she doesn't disdain you now, and she doesn't disdain Da Chu either.

The Emperor Chu continued to pinch the seal;

She gave birth to a child, and she is also a princess, but she is the princess of Yan Kingdom.

Now,

She no longer takes her Princess Dachu's matter as something proud.

She is proud that she is the woman of King Pingxi of Yan State, and the concubine of King Pingxi's child, hahahaha.

Bear Emperor,

this is your life

your life!

You are confident that everything has been calculated, and you think that you can calmly clean up the situation and start over, and you are sure to do better.

But you don't look,

north,

Will it give you this chance?

Not only did they not mess up, but they also won time and time again.

them,

It's true that I won't give you a chance!

While talking to himself, Emperor Chu calmly continued to pinch seals, streaks of pale golden luster began to flow from his fingertips.

Zhezi, have you seen it?

coming,

here we go again,

Really here again,

The scene you least expect to see is happening again in Yan Country.

In the previous generation, the Iron Triangle of the Yan Kingdom, in this generation, the Yan Kingdom is neck and neck with dragons and dragons.

Bear Emperor,

what do you win

you tell me,

What do you use to win?

Chu Huang began to smack himself with handprints layer by layer. Every time he added it, it brought terrible pain, but Chu Huang's movements did not stop.

I have seen several generations of Xiong family members, and several generations of Xiong family emperors. To be honest, you are the only one I can see. The previous ones are really ordinary people. They are just like your ancestors. A few generations, the difference is really too far.

But unfortunately,

it's not your life

You became the emperor, the son of heaven,

But providence,

I didn't pay attention to you!

Emperor Chu said:

God's will, you will definitely win?

Then, Emperor Chu's expression changed again:

No, God's will, it seems that you can't win, but even God's will can't win, why do you think you have no hope of winning if you don't have God's will?

what are you talking about?

I just came out to breathe. When you choose to integrate me into yourself, you should have expected this day. When you gain a longer lifespan, the bond between you and me will become deeper and deeper. Just like your... ancestor.

What I'm asking is God's will.

God's will is gone, and God's will can't win. Or, God's will has to be changed. It may continue, but it will be different from before.

You're too... noisy

You think I'm annoying? You can still suppress me now, but what about later? If...you still have a future.

I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself.

Like the former emperor of the Yan Kingdom, he seems to be like this, 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 Pixiu in the Imperial Palace of Yan Kingdom is much better preserved than mine.

You feel,

Will that old Pixiu look down on him?

He could have been the same as you. The real aura of an emperor is what our spirits need most, and it is also the foundation of our existence.

but,

result,

He died.

Just because he died,

you,

Don't even try to match him in this life!

Shut up!

The last seal is done,

Emperor Chu closed his eyes,

When you open your eyes again,

He picked up the bowl of cold lotus seed soup again, and continued to eat spoonful by mouthful.

Wait until the last bite,

bottomed out,

Only then did Emperor Chu discover that dense cracks had appeared on the bottom of the original small blue and white bowl, and blood was soaked in the cracks.

take the bowl away,

On the palm where he was holding the bowl earlier, there were also small wounds soaked in 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 palm and eyelids opened slowly almost together, and the wound on the palm had healed.

he died,

he died……

Suddenly,

Emperor Chu picked up a writing brush on the imperial case, pointed at his palm, and poked it down. The writing brush pierced his palm directly, and blood began to flow out.

and he,

But felt no pain at all.

On Chu Huang's face, there was a look of self-mockery,

muttered;

As an emperor, one should be fearless. In the name of the Son of Heaven, what he actually does is the most disrespectful thing to Heaven.

so,

he,

Not willing to die,

But even death can't make him afraid.

Chu Huang pulled out the brush,

Watching my wound gradually stop bleeding by itself...

I used to think that it was because our country of Chu didn't have Tian Wujing, Li Liangting, and the iron cavalry that could go anywhere;

But in fact,

Chu State and Yan State are farthest apart,

is the emperor.
