[Honghuang] Recruiting demon flags

That is, on the night when the allied forces of the princes approached the city, Daji was accidentally assassinated in the Shang Palace.

The only reason why she didn't die on the spot was that King Zhou was sleeping beside her.

King Zhou is very strange recently. Every day, he must come to Shouxian Palace to stay overnight. However, when the man came, he didn't say a word about the bed. Clothes and lying down, as if he is really a gentleman.

So, that night, when the assassin came, she woke up together with King Zhou.

The assassin's behavior is also very strange - he obviously tried his best to sneak into the palace, but for some reason, instead of killing King Zhou, he came to kill her instead? This queen.

As soon as Daji opened her eyes, she saw a gleaming sword stabbing at herself. She was taken aback, but her reaction was still fast. As soon as she turned over, she rolled under the bed, just in time to avoid the attack. hit.

When she raised her head again, she saw the assassin being held up by King Zhou's neck and held up in the air.

Only now did Daji have the time to take a closer look, and after a while, she was even more surprised:

This assassin is not an ordinary person, and she is quite capable. If it is normal, she might not be able to fight alone.

Daji:"……"

King Zhou held the neck of such a practitioner with ease, just like holding a rabbit.

Although he is a mortal, on the one hand, he is highly skilled in martial arts, and on the other hand, he has the luck of an emperor to protect him. Ordinary monks can't do anything to him. Even a saint like Empress Nuwa must be treated with caution.

He asked the assassin: "Why do you want to kill the widow?"

The assassin's throat was stuck by him, and his breathing was intermittent, but he still managed to say, "Yes... yes... the queen..."

"Queen of the widow, what's the matter with you?"

"Your Majesty...be careful, the emperor...the empress is...careful...careful?..."

When Daji heard this, her heart trembled.

Immediately afterwards, there was a clicking sound, and the assassin's neck was pinched and broken by King Zhou.

King Zhou let go of his hand and let the corpse fall limply to the side.

He bent down again, carried Daji back to the bed, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and said flatly, "Go to sleep."

……

Although the allied forces of the feudal lords approached the city of Chaoge, Chaoge was the capital of the Yin and Shang kings after all. The city walls were solid and food and grass were accumulated extensively.

Unexpectedly, at noon on the second day when the army camped outside the city, in Chaoge City, the army and the people tacitly surrendered, cut off the bolts, opened and closed the city, and welcomed King Wu into the city.

——The will of the people in the world is like a torrent, unstoppable.

The gates of the four sides of the city were wide open, and the feudal lords of Donglu, Nandu, Xiqi, and Chongcheng each led a team of troops into the city.

In the end, the four passers-by will meet under the Meridian Gate.

After the Meridian Gate is the Forbidden City of the Royal Palace.

At this time, King Zhou was truly lonely. Civil servants could not save near fire. Among the military generals, those loyal ones had already sacrificed their lives for the country in the previous years of battle, and died in battle. , Either abandon the official and go, or surrender the city, one?

Looking around, there was no one available around me.

King Zhou turned his head, and said with a smile to Daji: "I am sitting in this position, widows come and go, and I have been called widows for a lifetime. At this time, I have really become a widow."

After saying that, he called up all the palace guards, put on his armor and sabers, and went to the Meridian Gate to fight.

Before leaving, he said to Daji: "If I can come back, I have one more thing to ask the queen. Now, let's write it down for now."

He walked away, leading the team of guards, meandering behind him.

Daji was left alone, standing in the palace wall, watching from a distance.

After King Zhou led his troops out of the Meridian Gate to fight, Daji returned to Shouxian Palace alone.Along the way, the maids and eunuchs I met were all packing their bags. When they saw them, they immediately put down their work in fear and bowed down on the ground.

Daji shook her head, pretending she didn't see it, turned around and left.

It is a serious crime for a court lady to flee privately, but at this moment, who cares?

Even Daji herself was thinking about whether she should just take advantage of the present and leave.

Last night, the assassin yelled the word "Xi Zuo?", and the words of King Zhou just now, which made her feel uneasy, suspecting that her true identity and purpose had been revealed.

The overall situation has been decided, and there is absolutely no reason for the Shang Dynasty to bring the dead back to life. Then she should go back and return to life according to the decree.

Empress Nuwa is benevolent, she probably wouldn't? Blame her? She left so early.

Daji was sitting in her own hall, thinking wildly, one by one the servants bowed, walked in with small steps, and said respectfully:

"I want to report to the empress, that assassin broke into the palace last night, which frightened her, and the servants and others really deserve death! Now that the origin of the assassin has been found out, the servant is here to report to the empress according to His Majesty's order. .”

Daji:"……"

At this time, what assassins are still being investigated.

The servant took her quietness as acquiescing, and continued: "Then? It's a ridiculous statement, speaking out has polluted the ears of the empress, please forgive me. They said that the empress empress is the secret work of King Wu, which caused the Yin merchants to lose the war, so they came to assassinate. We have already killed the assassin's The accomplices were all caught up, and they all confessed, so you can rest assured, empress."

It's not nonsense, Daji thought.

She? Indeed, following the decree of Empress Nuwa, she lurks in the palace? to clear obstacles for King Wu.

——But King Zhou sent someone to talk to her? What does it mean to say these words?

——King Zhou, does he know?

She was puzzled, and after the servant had retired, she wandered around the palace alone again, wondering what King Zhou meant by treating her? After a ridiculous farce has come to an end, there must be an end.

Thinking, thinking, always going to see King Zhou for the last time, is the beginning and the end.

……

……

On this day, Daji was summoned by King Zhou in the evening.

As always, we are still in the Zhaixing Building.

Walking along the palace garden, there were not a few eunuchs and maids in sight along the way, probably all of them had fled.When we got close to Zhaixing Building, we could smell a strong smell of alcohol.

King Zhou must have drunk too much, Daji thought.

She slowly climbed up the long stairs, and the lights of thousands of families in Chaoge City also gradually spread out under her feet, forming all kinds of beings in this world.

All the way up to the highest attic, and sure enough, only King Zhou was drinking by the railing.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn't turn his head, but said, "You're here."

Daji calmly said, "I'm here."

Now, in front of this person, she no longer needs to call herself a "concubine", and no longer needs to kneel down to salute.

King Zhou smiled and turned around.

The night beside the railing shrouded his face. He was no longer young, but he was still very handsome. He had the majesty and bearing of a high-ranking person. When he looked at Daji and smiled, for some reason, he was a little gentle and gentle. ruffian.

Afterwards, he stopped laughing, and slowly said: "When the sun rises tomorrow, this place will not be mine anymore."

Daji: "...I know."

She didn't know what to say, so she just stood there.

King Zhou lowered his head, laughed at himself, then looked at her again, and said, "I have said that I have one more question for the queen. Of course, the queen doesn't have to tell the truth." , he laughed again, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as it's said by the queen, the widow will believe it."

Daji: "...just ask."

King Zhou looked at her, and said slowly: "You have been ordered by Empress Nuwa to become Su Daji in the past 18 years, and stay by my side, watching me, and doing so many wrong things—— Is there such a thing that you have truly loved me?"

Daji suddenly opened her eyes wide, and took a step back.

Seeing her reaction, King Zhou smiled politely again, "You seem surprised, Empress....You don't know? Do you really think you are hiding things well?"

Daji was startled, and subconsciously turned her head to look outside, wanting to jump off the building to escape—but just looking down, she saw a very dazzling light, which illuminated her for a while. Blind, it took a while before he could tell that it was a tumbling fire wave.

——In the Zhaixing Building, from bottom to top, it actually started to burn!

Just now, when I walked all the way up, I smelled the smell of alcohol...

Daji understood right away.

She looked back at King Zhou, and after a while, said in a shy voice, "...Since when?"

"From the time you jumped out of the star picking tower to save Huang Hou." King Zhou said calmly, "That day, I actually saw everything and knew that you were a fox. Later, the grand master told you about your origin. , and Empress Nuwa's decree, all told the widow."

Daji looked at him.

Finally, with a sigh.

"I have never loved you." She said: "Since you know your mother's decree, you should also know that I only follow orders to you."

After finishing speaking, she stopped looking at King Zhou's expression and retreated to the railing, ready to jump directly downstairs.

The fire is too bright, it is difficult to see the ground? In the dark, Daji tried hard to distinguish, and vaguely felt that there was something shaking, like a figure running.

She couldn't see what it was, but instinctively felt something was wrong, and for a while, she couldn't decide to pay attention.

At this time, King Zhou spoke quietly behind her, saying:

"...You have lied to me for so long, but in the end, are you unwilling to do it again?"

Just as Daji was about to reply, suddenly, she noticed something on the dark ground below, and her eyes froze.

——It is light yellow, the light of the talisman.

"The assassin who was interrogated today, I heard, was originally a monk who came to serve the widow." King Zhou said: "They know who you are and what you have done, so they came to assassinate you. However, as long as the widow is still the emperor For a day, as long as the widows are still protecting you, they won't be able to touch you—in the words of those people, it's called 'luck'."

Daji already vaguely understood it, but she still stood there.

King Zhou sighed, and said again: "But now, the widow himself is at the end of the road, and the fate of the widow's son is also at the end of the road together? So, they should have discussed it, and they want to take advantage of this time to kill you to vent their anger." .”

Daji said, "I know."

At this time, King Zhou was still in the mood to chat and laugh, and said to her: "They say that you are a demon concubine who has brought disaster to the country, and the widow is a foolish king who has messed up the country. You deserve to die just the same."

Daji: "...I know."

In Chaoge City's highest building for picking stars, she stood opposite King Zhou.A gust of wind blew through, rolled up the tongue of fire below, just in time, lit a pair of curtains, and burned out some dazzling ashes, which were blown around by the wind again, reflecting the flames flying all over the sky .

King Zhou looked at her and said with a smile, "You and I will die together in the end."

The surrounding area is getting hotter and hotter, and King Zhou's figure and voice are becoming more and more blurred in the space distorted by the high temperature of the flames.

The flames had already reached the beams and pillars supporting the building, and there was a danger of collapse at any moment. Standing in the fire, Daji wanted to make a formula to avoid the fire, but she didn't remember that she had learned spells before.

It seems that the empress did not teach.

As if the word "Niang Niang" really has some kind of magical effect, Daji thought of this, and suddenly felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a bit, and even those tongues of flames that opened their teeth and claws froze in mid-air, like a Vice lifeless painting.

She? Turn around.

Then, I saw a picture that I will never forget in my life.

——That's a green luan, hovering in the dark night, proudly raising its neck and spreading its wings, as if the luster flows through those noble and beautiful emerald feathers.Sitting cross-legged on Qingluan's back is a person, calm and elegant, with five-color long skirts and belts flowing gracefully, swaying in the distance with the night wind.

She looked at Daji, and said lightly, "Come up, what are you doing standing there?"

Daji almost forgot how to breathe.

Again and again, when she had no way to go to the sky or enter the earth, that man descended in front of her like a miracle.

Qingluan was still some distance away from the Zhaixing Tower. Daji took a deep breath, her figure shook, and she turned into a fox. She ran up a few steps, jumped on the broken railing, and drew a snow-white arc in the night , volley jumped up.

It was not very stable when it landed, as if it stepped on the skirt of Empress Nuwa.

"...I don't want to die with you." Daji said softly.

Of course King Zhou wouldn't? In response, only the crackling of flames could be heard in Zhaixing Tower.Something that seemed to be a beam fell heavily, making a muffled sound, and sparks flew everywhere.

Nuwa ordered casually: "Go back to the palace."

The Qingluan, which was only used as a mount, folded its wings and let out a clear cry. Daji knew that she was about to leave. Thinking of the coldness in the heights, she raised her tail, rolled herself up, and nestled obediently. Under Nu Wa's knees.

Afterwards, Qingluan turned into a stream of light and went away towards the sky.

In the strong wind blowing towards her face, Daji turned her head and took a last look at the Shang Palace where she had lived for 18 years.

——In the center of Wanjia's lights, the most towering and majestic Star-seeking Tower is enough to overlook the entire Zhaoge-Zhaixing Tower. Caught in a monstrous sea of ​​flames?

In the distance, even the buildings could not be distinguished clearly, only a group of dazzling? Dazzling flames could be seen.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the high-rise star-catching building finally couldn't stand the fire anymore, and broke from the middle, connecting the highest attic for singing and dancing, and connecting with the gorgeous The roof of the hall and the cornices collapsed together.

Like a fire, falling into the world.

There was a loud noise, and flames and smoke flew in all directions.

The bustling Zhaixing Building, the singing and dancing building, was completely reduced to ruins in this loud noise.

The Yin and Shang Dynasty, which had been in power for more than [-] years, collapsed in this loud bang.

The author has something to say: King Zhou is offline√

Although he became a god in the future, I don’t want to write about him anymore, so let’s pretend that there is no such person.

------

In addition, as an author, I shouldn't say these p words, but I really can't help but want to beep a few words _(:з」∠)_

I have always felt that when evaluating a character, one should look at what he does, not how thick the arrows he sends to others, or how deeply he loves others.On this issue, King Zhou and Emperor Wa are two completely opposite roles. King Zhou is undoubtedly a rotten person, a tyrant, who likes to kill people and mess with men and women, but his thickest arrow is given to Daji, and Undoubtedly, there are practical actions to prove that he loves Daji; Emperor Wa is a saint, but her thickest arrow will always point to the common people in the world.

In fact, it is a question worth thinking about, and my opinion has already been answered.

Then the Zhouhu line officially ended here. To be honest, adding the line Daji-King Zhou to a Lily CP article...how to put it, it is quite rebellious.But I think that the character of King Zhou is indispensable for the establishment of Daji’s image of a "demon concubine" (a demon concubine, a demon concubine, where there is no emperor). After the triangle, the emotional push and pull becomes interesting immediately... so it was designed like this
