Dinghai Fusheng Records

As New Year's Eve approached, Chen Xing's mood experienced several ups and downs, from full of expectations at the beginning to extremely manic, and then to despair, and hope was rekindled under Xiang Shu's comfort, and finally lost his temper.

"Now I have considerable reason to doubt, maybe I will not know how to use Dinghaizhu until the last day." Chen Xing said to himself.

"The last day?" Xiang Shu overheard this sentence when he entered the bedroom.

Chen Xing immediately changed his words: "The day the war started."

In the past few months, Feng Qianjun, Xiao Shan and others have never found the whereabouts of Fujiao, and the search area has been further narrowed towards Jiankang. According to this speed, they will return to Jiankang when the next spring begins.The news from the north also made people more nervous. After Murong Chong returned to Luoyang, he was placed under house arrest. Under Fu Jian's instruction, Luoyang had already started a full-scale martial law, and Chang'an began to collect military rations, preparing to go south to fight against Jin.

Numerous military reports were sent to Jiankang one after another, but Fu Jian blocked most of the news channels. Xie An could only judge Fu Jian's movements through marching and tax collection. Everyone knew that this battle had to be fought and could not be avoided.However, there are very few people in Jiangnan who are willing to support the Jin court in the first battle. The Jin court has not yet dared to mobilize the whole country to meet Fu Jian's invincible cavalry.

Not to mention telling the common people that there is still a terrifying army of undead in the north waiting to go south.

"The Emperor of Han wants to talk to you," Xiang Shu said, "maybe it's about starting a war."

"No progress," Chen Xing said wearily, "no progress."

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve," Xiang Shu replied, "Are you going to sacrifice to heaven?"

Only then did Chen Xing realize that before he knew it, it was the end of the year again, and there were still one year and nine months left.Sima Yao and the royal family will perform a routine sacrifice to heaven in Jiankang tomorrow. Xie Anxing has made preparations and will deliver a speech to the people in the south of the Yangtze River tomorrow, telling them about the severe situation in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

Sima Yao specially invited Xiang Shu and Chen Xing, asking him to attend the ceremony tomorrow, presumably there is something to discuss.

The next day, Chen Xing had no choice but to pack up, and Xiang Shu changed into the clothes for the ceremony, and went with Sima's family to sacrifice to heaven.Chen Xing has no official position, but he was dressed as an exorcist in the Han Dynasty, wearing a black hat inlaid with jade, a snow-white and gilded robe according to the Jin Dynasty, and seven-star shoes.

Xiang Shu also wears a white gilt military uniform with civil and military sleeves, a sword and a crown.

On New Year's Eve, all the people in Jiankang flocked to both sides of the Huai River to participate in the Sima Royal Ceremony hosted by Xie An.The military officer cleared the venue early, and the banks of the Shili Huai River were full of common people, offering incense and offering sacrifices to the heavens, and the atmosphere of the New Year's Eve was faintly visible in the smog.

Staying in the middle of the night to eat the New Year’s dinner, when the midnight arrives, Sima Yao will take all the civil and military officials to the Qixuan Temple to ring the bell in person and pray for the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Son of Heaven, we will go to the grand event of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

When they left Taichu Palace and went to the Huai River, Chen Xing and Sima Yao shared a car, while Xiang Shu rode with the generals to escort them on horseback, and the people outside the car cheered loudly from time to time.

Every time he heard the discussion when he went out, Chen Xing knew that this guardian martial god was being watched again. Anyway, he was used to it, so he pretended not to hear it.

"I thought that Da Shanyu would come to attend the ceremony in his previous capacity." Sima Yao said to Chen Xing in a leisurely manner today.

Chen Xing and Sima Yao were the only two people in the car. Chen Xing could guess that what Sima Yao wanted to see was that Xiang Shu would wear the royal robe of Hu Renda Shanyu, ride a chariot, and show up in the south of the Yangtze River. won the support of the people in the Civil War.

"Your Majesty, the identity of Shulukong is no longer Da Shanyu." Chen Xing said politely.

Ever since he offended Sima Yao last time because of Sima Wei, Chen Xing didn't want to have more contact with Sima Yao.After all, a king has his own position. Just like Fu Jian never forgets to capture the south, Sima Yao also has his own mission.Many times people don't think of disputes, but the situation makes it so, this kind of thinking of "I don't want to offend you but I can't help it", Chen Xing and Sima Yao understand each other quite well, and it is unnecessary to talk too much to make each other unhappy.

"Have you found the whereabouts of that dragon?" Sima Yao said.

"That's not a dragon," Chen Xing thought for a while, and said, "It's a dragon, and its origin is very deep with us Han people, so I can't tell for a while..."

"Master Pu has already told me," Sima Yao said casually, "I thought that if you could control that dragon, maybe you could make it work for me."

Chen Xing said: "Your Majesty, this is really too difficult."

"So," Sima Yao said, "as His Majesty, it's really boring to be refuted whatever you propose. You can't even grow your hair."

Chen Xing said: "It's better to be honest and prepare for war. Only this matter can't be tricked."

For a while, the two of them had nothing to say, and Chen Xing also knew that many of Sima Yao's proposals were out of his own control.After all, it is still a heavy responsibility to protect a country and its people. It is not surprising that he made these whimsical and whimsical suggestions.

"Then there is one thing you can always do." Sima Yao asked again.

"Just do your best." Chen Xingke said politely, thinking that he only had more than a year to live, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Sima Yao said: "Leave that Wang Ziye and his dragon in the south of the Yangtze River. No matter what, you can't let demons and ghosts participate in the battle on the day when I and Fu Jian start the war."

"That's what we're doing now." Chen Xing said, "Gu Qing's whereabouts are unknown, Brother Feng must also find her."

"That little girl is probably already dead." Sima Yao sighed again, "Tian Chi, people must learn to accept the reality. If you can't save it, whether it's a dragon or a dragon, if it appears on the battlefield, you know What are the consequences."

Regarding the fact that the "dragon" appeared in Kuaiji, for more than half a year, people in the south of the Yangtze River had already spread the rumors, and there were even rumors that Sima Yao was going against the sky, and Jiangnan would change the court.Sima Yao was so annoyed that he searched everywhere for the source of the rumors, but he couldn't find the source of the rumors about him, so he had to pin his hopes on Chen Xing to catch that guy sooner.

Chen Xing naturally knew the consequences. If during the battle between the two armies, something that looked like a dragon suddenly flew out of the sky to help Fu Jian, the soldiers would not be able to distinguish the origin of this thing, they would only think that Emperor Qin was recognized by the heavens. The real son of heaven, his own morale is completely lost, and the collapse is in an instant.

Sometimes the so-called "mandate of heaven" is on which side, which side is invincible, it's not just a joke.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Chen Xing comforted, "As long as I am still alive, I will definitely not let it wreak havoc on the battlefield and cause disaster."

Among the military officers outside the convoy, Xiang Shu rode his horse unhurriedly. His military robe, attire, and appearance were the most conspicuous. Although he was among the generals of the Jin Dynasty, he received the most enthusiasm from the people.Xiang Shu didn't like to be pointed out by nature, so he turned his head slightly towards the side of the carriage, and listened intently to the conversation between Chen Xing and Sima Yao amidst the noisy voices.But with one side of the head, the side of the face looked better, so the cheers became louder.

Pu Yang rode forward from the other side and gestured to Xiang Shu, Xiang Shu intentionally lagged a little behind and walked side by side with him.

"The matter that Martial God wants to investigate," Pu Yang said, "there is a general explanation. In the past few months, I have read all the records about astrology and horoscope handed down by the master."

"Say." Xiang Shu said in a deep voice.

Pu Yang said: "It is very rare for Sui Xing to die, but what is certain is..."

When the convoy arrived at Huaishui, Chen Xing helped Sima Yao out of the car. The table for offering sacrifices to the heavens was almost set up. Today, Sima Yao specially instructed him to have the exorcist and Dharma Guardian Martial God accompany him, and let Chen Xing appear in front of all the people in the south of the Yangtze River. , in order to show that he has the "Mandate of Heaven" and guide public opinion.

"Where's the God of War?" Sima Yao said.

"Where did Xiang Shu go?" Chen Xing frowned, looked towards the end of the line, and found Xiang Shu who was very conspicuous in Yushu Linfeng at a glance.

It's so beautiful, Chen Xing thought to himself, all the civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty were well-organized, but only Xiang Shu was so different.

Xiang Shu was talking to Pu Yang. To be precise, Pu Yang stood up on his horse and explained in a low voice to Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu didn't look at him, his deep eyes passed over the officials, without blinking, he just stared at Chen star.

Chen Xing hurriedly gestured, the sacrifice to heaven was about to begin, all the people were silent, now everyone was waiting for Xiang Shu, Pu Yang quickly finished his words, Chen Xing was extremely anxious, but saw Xiang Shu say "Drive!" Passing through the crowd, the war horse almost knocked over someone, and the rest of the people gave way one after another, Sima Yao's expression changed.

Xiang Shu dismounted from his horse, jumped onto the altar in front of tens of thousands of people, and grabbed Chen Xing's hand.

Everyone around was taken aback, Chen Xing said in a daze, "What's wrong?! What are you doing again?"

"You..." Xiang Shu frowned deeply, as if extremely angry, and said, "You..."

"Don't quarrel at this time!" Chen Xing said in a low voice, "If you have any dissatisfaction, can you go back and talk about it? Hundreds of thousands of people are watching!"

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded on the banks of the Huai River, together with thousands of officials of the Jin court, as well as the royal family, the emperor, Xie An and others all looked at Xiang Shu suspiciously, only to see that Xiang Shu raised his hand, holding Chen Xing hold on to his wrist.

Chen Xing: "It hurts...it hurts! You are too strong!"

Xiang Shu put down his hands and couldn't help panting. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sima Yao hurried forward to make amends, and said, "War God? You two... What's wrong with you, the young couple should go back and settle the score? Now I see In order to save face, do you want to let it go for a while? Look at so many people below..."

Hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River looked forward to it first, and then began to discuss it. Chen Xing never expected that Xiang Shu would suddenly become emotionally unstable in front of so many people.

"Okay," Chen Xing said to Xiang Xiang, "What exactly do you want to say? Come on, let's clarify the facts and let them wait, Your Majesty, please wait a moment..."

Xiang Shu let go of Chen Xing's wrist suddenly, and said indifferently to Sima Yao, "Continue."

Sima Yao observed the expressions of the two of them, he was really angry, if he was an official under his command, if he made such a fuss during the heaven sacrifice, he might not be held accountable if he dragged it down, the official position would definitely be lost.The key point is that Chen Xing is not under his control, and he has nothing to do with Xiang Shu. He puts on the emperor's airs, and he may be beaten by Xiang Shu at any time, so he has to swallow his anger and nod to Xie An.

Xie An cleared his throat and said, "Then let's begin."

The entourage spread out the yellow brocade and lit a huge brazier. Chen Xing took a mahogany sword and said in a loud voice: "The exorcist in the world, the guardian of the law, and the special guardian of the emperor of Jin Dynasty. The Spring Festival of Renwu Year."

"Louder." Sima Yao said in a low voice.

Chen Xing: "I have a sore throat...Let Xiang Shu talk about it."

Xiang Shu frowned deeply, and when Chen Xing moved him, Xiang Shufang shouted impatiently: "Chen Xing, the exorcist in the world, Shu Lukong, the guardian of the law! Protect the Great Jin Emperor's Spring Festival in the Renwu Year!"

That sound shook like a bell, and the faces of the imperial guards of the Great Jin Dynasty suddenly changed. Xiang Shu's voice was almost clearly heard on both sides of the Huai River for nearly ten miles. What level is this?Even Fu Jian, who is known as the best warrior in the world, can't do it!A place in the south of the Yangtze River, measure yourself, there are nearly ten thousand military officers under the altar, and ask yourself that no one can do it!

Sima Yao was the closest to Chen Xing, and was almost vomited blood by Xiang Shuzhen. Chen Xing's face was pale, but suddenly Xiang Shu pressed his hand on his shoulder, and a soft and abundant Qi poured into his body, which immediately made him feel better. few.

"Today is No. 60 nine years after the Yongjia Rebellion." Sima Yao breathed evenly, and said slowly, "During these years, I never dare to forget the memory of my Great Jin..."

On the yellow brocade was the jade seal of Chuanguo, Sima Yao put his hand on the jade seal, and said loudly: "My people of Li and common people in the Great Jin Dynasty! Apart from the spring festival today, I have one more thing to say to you—"

Hundreds of thousands of people along the Huai River listened with bated breath, in complete silence.

At this moment, a huge black shadow with a length of twenty feet appeared at the bottom of the Huaihe River. Under the pale sky, someone began to notice the huge shadow. Chen Xing heard the whispered discussion, and turned his head to look at Xie An. With a puzzled look.

Xiang Shu also found it, and Sima Yao still said loudly: "—I have to tell you that even the land in the south of the Yangtze River has already—"

The next moment, Xiang Shu pressed his sword, and the water of the Huaihe River suddenly exploded, and the rotten dragons that exuded resentment soared into the sky!

At that moment, the entire bank of the Huai River was in chaos, and the people rushed to push each other, and many people fell into the river.On the other side of the river, Feng Qianjun and Xiao Shan jumped up, bowed and squatted on the guardrail, their eyes fixed on the rotten dragons that emerged from the Huai River.

Chen Xing: "!!!"

Xiang Shu murmured, "I knew you didn't leave."

Gu Qing on the jiao's head was shrouded in heavy resentment, and he was one with the rotten jiao. Xiang Shu drew his sword and stood in front of Chen Xing and Sima Yao.

"Son of Jin—" Wang Ziye's voice resounded on both sides of the Huaihe River.

Chen Xing's blood seemed to freeze, but Xie An seemed to have been prepared for a long time, raised his hand, and the ambushes from all directions finally appeared brazenly at this moment.Nearly [-] Beifu troops armed with crossbows and hooks appeared on the roofs and terraces!

"It's finally here." Xie An said slowly.

Turning his head, Chen Xing didn't seem to be surprised to see everyone. He had already prepared for it. He expected that Xiang Shu had already made a comprehensive arrangement during the time he was studying Dinghaizhu, and the shock gradually subsided.

"Your life is coming to an end," Wang Ziye said in an unhurried voice, "The new emperor will replace you in the land of the world, and you must not go against the sky in everything. This is the will of the heavens who sent me here. No matter how stubborn you are, Jiangnan will be turned into scorched earth in an instant."
