In order to meet, Nishino specially built a high platform at the foot of Yuchi Mountain to show grandeur.There is a banquet table in the middle of the high platform, and the highest part is covered with curtains as a resting place.At this moment Zhou Lanmu was nestling in the curtain, drinking the kumiss with great interest.

He had just recovered from a serious illness, and his complexion was still morbidly pale, but his spirit seemed to be in good shape.

Lu Yangchun stood aside, seeing his appearance, felt a little uneasy.

After reading the letter left by Chu Shao this morning, he sat silently at the table for a long time, and finally he called Fang He into the room, and the two closed the door and talked for a while.

When he came out again, Lu Yangchun could no longer see his previous emotions. Lu Yangchun watched Zhou Lanmu change his clothes as usual, tidy up his appearance, and then drove to the foot of the Marriage Chi Mountain to meet Voga Aros as if nothing had happened. meet.

But he could vaguely guess what Chu Shao had done... Wouldn't he be sad if the one he loved left?

Zhou Lanmu was not as troubled as he was at all, he looked very happy, and even came early, Lu Yangchun stood beside him, couldn't hold back, and finally asked: "Your Majesty, General Xiao Chu..."

"It doesn't matter," Zhou Lanmu quickly replied, "He is the one who deserves to die, and the poisonous Gu in my body was lured to him, but it was just a different way of dying, and he did good deeds before he died. I am grateful to him for the rest of my life. "

Consciously or unintentionally, his hand brushed the jade flute around his waist. He hadn't played it for a long time, but he kept it with him all the time: "Stop mentioning it again."

Since he said so, Lu Yangchun could only bow his head and stop asking.

He lowered his eyes, and suddenly smelled a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the wind.

A young man of a different race came in through the curtain from a distance, only a dark red costume of a foreign race could be seen from a distance.When he got closer, he could see clearly that the other party had a complicated braid, a high ponytail, decorated with feathers, and looked very handsome. Every time he took a step, the bone bell hanging on the long knife at his waist would follow. One rings.

Hearing the tradition of Xiye people, braids are used to record military exploits. Looking at the braids all over his head, it can be seen that this person is noble.

Zhou Lanmu sat firmly on the spot, saw him approaching step by step, was slightly startled, and then showed a very pleasant smile: "His Majesty Shang Yun is well."

"Long time no see." The other party replied, his voice was slightly hoarse, but he could speak Mandarin very fluently, "The last time I met the crown prince in Shichuan City, it took only a few days, and I'm about to change my name to His Majesty."

Zhou Lanmu thought this was the first time he saw Voga Alos, but he didn't expect that it was not a face at all.

As early as in the city of Death River... on the night when Bai Canglang and Chu Shao were drunk, this person went to see him alone.

Zhou Lanmu's heart skipped a beat, but he frowned, and tried to think: "Major Shang Yun's Chonghua name seems to be Fu Yunming?"

The other party responded, raised her head slightly, and sat down opposite him: "My mother is from the Chonghua tribe, and her original surname is Fu. I have been to Dayin several times over the years, and I have always used this alias."

He has been to Great India several times, presumably to probe public opinion, so frank, Zhou Lanmu was a little surprised.

"The last time I saw Majesty, the official language was not as good as it is now." Zhou Lanmu picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip. "I am also quite interested in Xi Ye's language, why don't Majesty come to teach me someday? ?”

"Naturally." Fu Yunming smiled, "It's my fault for coming late these few days and being rude to Your Majesty."

"Speaking of late, I heard that there was a strange event in the worship temple outside the city of Grila," Zhou Lanmu smiled lightly, "The majesty sacrificed for three days that day, so why not tell me about it?"

Fu Yunming did not refuse: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the West Field believes in the Goddess of the Great Death, and that among the children of the royal family Voga, there must be one who was chosen by the Goddess of the Great Death?"

Zhou Lanmu raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"

"The selected person is called the 'Son of God', and has been enshrined in the temple of worship since birth," Fu Yunming said, "The Son of God enjoys the support of the entire West Field. After death, a hundred people need to be sacrificed. If God has a will, it will descend on the Son of God. His every frown, smile, birth, old age, sickness and death are all God's omens to Nishino."

Zhou Lanmu gave a "tsk", but didn't interrupt.

Fu Yunming continued: "This tradition has been going on for hundreds of years and has never been interrupted. Under its protection, Nishino has been safe until now. But in my generation, something suddenly happened..."

He glanced at Zhou Lanmu, observing his expression, and said, "My brother, the chosen Son of God, suddenly killed all the guards in the worship temple when he was nine years old, and fled."

"Ah, what a pity." Zhou Lanmu said, "And then?"

"My father was still in power at the time. After learning about this, Lei Ting was furious and determined to find him. After the Son of God left, he killed people along the way. Many years later, we found the bones he collected in the ancient city of Wangmen, exactly one hundred." Fu Yunming said, "He sacrificed a hundred lives to announce the death of the Son of God, but I have never had any descendants. This tradition has been broken like this."

"After the Son of God left, the phoenix tree in the worship temple withered overnight, and no amount of incense could save it. Until a few days ago—Your Majesty, you know that the tree has blossomed."

Zhou Lanmu said: "What does this mean?"

"Son of God has returned to the territory of Xiye," Fu Yunming smiled, with a wolf-like gleam in his eyes, "Phoenix flowers are blooming, and the Son of God is still the Son of God. Everyone in the West Field cannot disobey his request."

Zhou Lanmu asked very interestedly: "Then did you find anyone else?"

Fu Yunming shook his head: "Not yet, but we will find it soon."

"Well, after finding him, what does Majesty want to do?" Zhou Lanmu frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Let me think about it, Majesty seems to be completely different from your ancestors in the past two years. I think you should You don’t want to listen to such bullshit words as God’s Son’s instructions? The first thing you do when you find the God’s Son is—”

He raised his hand and wiped it on his neck, made a "click", but smiled sincerely: "Of course, this is my guess. If I were a maharaja, I would do this. God can use the towering statue on the temple, But if it's a real person, wouldn't it be a terrible thing to be above the king?"

The corners of Fu Yunming's mouth twitched twice, and he said lightly, "Your Majesty is joking, the Son of God is my biological brother, blood is thicker than water, how could I do such a thing?"

"Oh." Zhou Lanmu nodded again and again, agreeing and saying, "Your majesty is right."

Fu Yunming felt that his neutral tone seemed to be scolding, but after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong with it, so he could only say: "The ministers of Xiye and Dayin have all arrived at the meeting platform at the foot of the Marriage Chi mountain. Your Majesty and I will meet here first. , why don't you waste time, let's talk about some serious business."

Zhou Lanmu put his teacup on the table heavily, and raised his hand to support his forehead: "Your Majesty is right, I just recovered from a long illness recently, and my brain is not working well, I was really negligent."

Fu Yunming's complexion changed.

He had received a letter a few years ago, saying that the Crown Prince Chengyang of the Great Seal had not passed away after the Dingfeng Rebellion, but was in Zongzhou under an alias and was active under the name of Lange. Out of curiosity, he went to I went to Zongzhou a few times and saw the surviving Crown Prince Chengyang.

When this person was there... he single-handedly trained the Parrot Guard and the Black Sword Camp, and trained Chu Shao and the Wufang Generals, a group of famous generals who made the West Field Army fearful. They were opponents not to be underestimated.It's not that he never thought of taking this opportunity to get rid of this person secretly, but it's really impossible for Lange to cover the sky with one hand in Zongzhou, if he wants to keep his face down.

But if there is a big trouble, it will definitely let the Zhongyang group know that Chu Shao was not dead during the Dingfeng Rebellion. Although there are some bad rumors about this person, he grew up with Crown Prince Chengyang, and with Xiye's current situation, I'm afraid they won't be able to compete with the Xuanjian battalion under his rule.

So he searched around Dayin for several years under an alias, and finally got a clear picture of the court in Dayin.

The families of Qi and Wei who created the Dingfeng Rebellion imposed violent taxes, and the little emperor was cowardly and incompetent. Sooner or later, he would lose the hearts of the people. After Chu Shao's rebellion, the Xuanjian camp was torn apart.Since Crown Prince Chengyang is not dead, he will definitely work hard to regain power, and in the process of seizing power, it will inevitably consume the national power of Great India.

Nishino and Dayin fought and reunited, and I don't know how many years have passed. If this drags on, both sides will suffer.

On the day he learned that the Son of God had escaped, he made up his mind that he must break the red line of his ancestors and take the entire Great Seal into his pocket.

The best time is the few days when Crown Prince Chengyang has just successfully seized power and has not had time to rectify the national power.

Besides, he heard that Crown Prince Chengyang was suffering from a severe poison from the southeast, and his health had been poor. Even if he came back to power, he might not live for long.

But who would have thought that Zhou Lanmu's thunderous means would clean up the aristocratic family and the southeast forces, and even brought their strength into his command.He hastily set up a meeting at Marriage Chishan, and the other party not only agreed without hesitation, but also told him clearly that "he has just recovered from a serious illness" before the meeting started.

This person's mind is really unfathomable.

Fortunately... Chu Shao is dead, even if the Xuanjian camp is here, the Zhanlu army is not the same as before.

In a short period of time, Fu Yunming had countless thoughts in his mind, but in the end he could only squeeze out one sentence: "Your Majesty has just recovered from a long illness. It is really gratifying. You can go hunting on Marriage Chi Mountain. After the meeting is over, I will go hunting with Your Majesty." ,how?"

Zhou Lanmu turned his head to the side, a little surprised, but still agreed: "The Majesty's kindness is naturally excellent."

Fu Yunming stood up, stretched out his hand in a graceful manner, and signaled him to go out together: "I invite your Majesty to come here, a banquet has been set up on the stage, and the important officials of both countries are here, please Your Majesty go with me."

Zhou Lanmu saluted him back, stood up leisurely, took his hand, and walked out of the tent with him.

Fu Yunming was still thinking about it, when he heard Zhou Lanmu whisper in his ear: "I forgot to tell the majesty one thing..."

Seeing him tilting his head to look at him, Zhou Lanmu smiled happily: "Your god son, your brother, and I have quite a friendship."

Fu Yunming's hands trembled, and he stopped in front of the curtain.
