Assassin 3 Wind and Live

Chapter 37 Rumors

On the first day of the first lunar month, an earthquake occurred in Tianquan, Yuzhao Mountain collapsed, and the Tianxian Yuzhao Guan, which had protected Tianquan for hundreds of years, collapsed overnight.

There has never been such a natural disaster in the [-] years since the establishment of Tianquan, and everyone guessed that it was a sign of something ominous.Sure enough, within three days, the news of the death of the king came.It is said that at the time of the earthquake, Zhiming, the ruler of the Tianquan Kingdom, was taking his friends to climb Yuzhao Mountain to perform New Year sacrifices. Unfortunately, the earthquake happened and both of them disappeared.The Tianquan army risked aftershocks to search for the two kings in the ruins, but only found Murong Li, who was seriously injured and unconscious. After that, they searched for the king in the mountains for a month, but found nothing.

After Zhiming disappeared, Tianquan was represented by several high-ranking officials headed by the prime minister, Lord Lu.Time passed day by day, and everyone was unwilling to believe that their young king had died, but the hope in people's hearts gradually faded.The country cannot be without a king for a day, the royal family of heaven and power is withered, and the king has no heirs when he is alive. The choice of a new king once again caused an uproar in the court.

On the first day of the new year, Zhiming brought the visiting Lord Murong to Yuzhao Mountain for a visit, which is known to almost everyone in the Tianquan Dynasty.But they didn't expect that their king would die because of this, and Murong's king was also injured in the earthquake. Fortunately, the two countries had already established an alliance of friendship, and Yao Guang was not held accountable for this.However, the Lord Lu's imperial edict later produced other doubts in people's minds.

It is not uncommon for a king to die without leaving behind a crown prince, but it is not without precedent. Throughout the ages, I have never heard of a king who surrendered his country to outsiders. The heart must be different.Murong Li, the leader of the Yaoguang Kingdom, manipulated all the countries in Zhongyuan with his own power, and finally restored the country, and the story of annexing Zhongyuan's vassal states was widely spread among the people, and his ambition was seen by the whole world.Some people even asserted that it was a matter of time before the Tianquan Yaoguang alliance broke up. After Yaoguang appeases the vassal states, there will be a war between the two countries, and the stubborn king of Tianquan who eats and waits to die must not belong to Murong Li Opponents, ranging from three years to as many as five years, the entire Zhongyuan will be included in Yaoguang's territory.

It has not been three or five years now, the two countries almost turned against each other not long ago, Tianquan soldiers approached the city, but somehow nothing happened, later the Lord Murong sent Tianquan as an envoy, and the two went on a trip together, only then did they know that they had reconciled.The lord of Zhiming disappeared mysteriously, but he left an edict entrusting the power of heaven to Yao Guang. Could it be that the heavens are helping Murong Li?The two traveled together, in the realm of Tianquan, and it was said that the casualties at the epicenter were not serious, why did the Zhiming ruler die under heavy protection?And why did he leave the imperial edict by such a coincidence?You know, Zhi Ming is in his prime, and he doesn't even have any heirs, so it was an unbelievable thing for everyone to leave an imperial edict.

No matter how many doubts people in the world have in their hearts, no one dares to oppose Yaoguang now. Yaoguang is the largest country in Zhongyuan. It won't be long before the power of heaven will most likely be in Murong Li's pocket. Who else would dare to offend this No.1 in the world?So Tianquan was merged into Yaoguang steadily.However, Murong Li did not reduce Tianquan to a county, but still called Tianquan a country, but now the two countries implement joint governance, and Tianquan's memorials are sent to Yaoguang Palace by Kuaima every day, and Murong Li sends them after reviewing back.

Zhiming’s imperial edict reads: “Officials will be determined by the Lord Yaoguang. Officials above the second rank and local officials below the seventh rank must be from the birthplace of Tianquan. Tianquan sent officials from Yaoguang, just to let Xiao Ran take a few cronies and troops to exchange credentials, in case of turmoil during the dynasty change, and after all the documents were completed, they all returned to Yaoguang.

Immediately after the edict of the joint governance of the two countries, Murong Li issued a second edict: Yuheng County was the homeland of the Yinxie tribe hundreds of years ago. The king of Yuheng County and all the local people of Yuheng moved to the adjacent counties and counties for resettlement. After that, Yuheng was granted to the Feng clan to live in, and all the local officials were transferred away.

As soon as this edict came out, there was an uproar all over the world. Isn't this a disguised form of establishing a country?Not to mention that no one has ever heard of the Ministry of Enlightenment, even if this person saved Murong Li's life in the earthquake, there are so many people who have made great contributions to saving him, how has he ever received such a heavy reward.Since Murong Li ascended the throne, he has advocated appointing people on merit, and he has suppressed many old nobles with high meritorious service. Now it is unprecedented to confer kings and fiefdoms so easily, and it is difficult to convince the public.Moreover, the king of Yuheng County is really mysterious. It is said that on the fourth day of his conferment, an envoy from the palace came with a reward, but he was shut down in the palace.It was only later that I found out that the King of Yuheng County had received the decree in the palace on the day he was crowned king, and then disappeared with a letter from the disciples of the palace. Murong Li did not commit the crime.

Since then, various rumors have spread among the people about the Lord of the World. Some say that Murong Li himself killed his best friend, the King of Heavenly Quan, and seized the right of Heaven by edict; The tribe is the descendant of wizards in ancient times. It was because of them that Murong Li used sorcery to become the lord of the world. Now they are Murong Li's minions who control the world, so they are treated so favorably; there is another saying that Murong Li In the early days when Tianxuan attacked the city and the Yaoguang Kingdom was broken, he had jumped into the city with his father and brother to die. Now the King Yaoguang is actually a ghost who returned from hell and came back to take revenge. So since he came back, the countries have been in turmoil. The rulers of several countries related to Yaoguang's destruction of the country all died unexpectedly, and all countries were reduced to Yaoguang's prefectures and counties. The ruler of Tianquan took him to climb the mountain to participate in the New Year's sacrifice. The earthquake in Yuzhao Mountain was the punishment from heaven.

The white banners all over the streets and alleys of Tianquan have not been removed yet, a rumor has spread among the people that Murong Li was indeed the one who killed the Emperor Zhiming!Originally, there were rumors everywhere among the people, saying everything, this one is not new, and it would not cause any sensation, but this time it came from the palace. He did not rest in peace, but returned to Yaoguang with Murong Li, and some patrolling soldiers saw the King Zhiming covered in blood appearing in Yaoguang Palace.After reporting to the lord, the lord personally led people to search the whole palace, but found nothing.Within two days, a large amount of money was posted outside the king's city looking for folk warlocks who are proficient in the art of yin and yang.As a result, the news that Murong Li, the leader of the Yaoguang Kingdom, killed his best friend and usurped the throne, and was killed by a ghost was finally confirmed.

Many people in the court have said that the common people are very interested in these absurd and bizarre stories, allowing them to be passed down like this is not conducive to the stability of the people, and the most urgent thing is to find a way to eliminate the rumors.Murong Li didn't care, he was annoyed by persuasion, and simply demoted a few speech officials who had made no contribution to the court and were always alarmist, and no one took any action after that.Folk rumors circulated that Yu Lie, because no one stopped him, was made into an excerpt and went on the stage directly. Xiao Ran inadvertently heard about it from the soldiers in the army, and was curious for a while, so he took Fang Ye to watch it together when he was resting, but he was very angry Almost turned off the troupe.The two returned to the palace full of anger to report to their king, but they were stopped outside the palace.Seeing that the king had already gone to bed, the two had no choice but to retreat.

In Yaoguang King City, in the secret room of the palace, Murong Li sat alone at a table, pouring himself a drink, facing the sword stand which was mostly empty, and now only a star inscription remained.On the way back from Xun Su, Zhi Ming seemed to have completely disappeared and never appeared again.

Murong Li often thought, if he didn't bring Zhi Ming back then, but let him go to sleep with Feng Nai, would Zhi Ming be fine now?No, no, not to mention whether Feng Hui will use Xing Ming and Zhi Ming to cast spells again, if Feng Hui really finds a way, he should come back, after all, most of his clan members are now in Yuheng.

Murong Li thought again, if he found Zhi Ming's strangeness when Feng Xi cut off the first sword, it would be great if he could stop it earlier, Xing Ming and Zhi Ming would be fine, they are so alike, like a couple Brother, it must be very interesting to stand together.

He had long heard that Xingming was related to the royal family of Tianquan, and Murong Li regretted why he didn't ask more carefully. How could Xingming survive repeated heavy blows on how tough those eight swords were?But if he could know earlier and have enough time to think about it, what choice would he make?There is no if, no if, time cannot be turned back, he can only suffer and wait, maybe one day, Zhi Ming will suddenly appear like before.He often has an illusion that Zhiming is not dead, he is still alive, but he cannot see it.

I don't know how much wine he drank, Murong Li finally got a little drunk, staggered up, walked to the side of the sword stand, raised his finger, tremblingly across Xing Ming's scabbard, and softly called: "Zhi Ming..."
