Volume 1 Southern Regions Chapter 32 Soldier Beast Zhu Yan
A family is a family after all.
The war in the north ended, and the seven countries rectified their state affairs and settled their own internal disputes. Twenty years ago, there was a civil war between the north and south of the Yan Kingdom, and Mu Suifeng shot the south of the town, but the Yan Kingdom governed Siyu, and what was needed was not a martial artist like Mu Suifeng, but the secretary of the family.
The rebellion in the Southern Regions can govern the seven cities in the Southern Regions, and it is still indispensable for the family to contribute. The rebels who were suppressed by Mu Suifeng's iron cavalry killed three and saved seven. The remaining seven soon turned into a replacement for the ministers of the family who were executed during the civil war between Korea and China, and took office.
King Yanyou is on the throne, and those ministers still don't dare to move their wrists against Mu Suifeng. But as soon as King Youwang died, the new king succeeded him, and in order to cultivate power, he had to promote the group of ministers of the family who had been neglected and excluded before to replace the old man of the previous king.
You must know that Mu follows the wind and horse to the four regions, and the family that has offended is not only the seven cities of the Southern Regions. Even if there is that Uncle Wang in Handan, the royal city, is supported by him, and the Silver Armor Army has many forces rooted in the court, but it still seems weak in the end.
There are even more ill-intentioned ministers of the dynasty who secretly spread rumors in Handan, saying that Mu Suifeng covers the sky with one hand in the southern region, while the north and south of Yan are traversed by Dushan, and there is only a tiger prison as the main road to connect. If Mu Suifeng wants to divide and rule Great Yan with King Yan, it will be easy to use the power of the Silver Armor Army.
King Yan is a gentleman without virtue, and together with these rumors, he is even more wary of Mu Suifeng, who is already dissatisfied, and he can't wait to erase his identity as the lord of Heyang City and the general of the dynasty.
But Mu Suifeng's achievements were high in Qi country, and King Yan had the heart but was powerless, so he had to secretly push the hostile forces of Mu Suifeng in the DPRK and China to grind off his minions little by little.
"Bai Ze, you have to help me!" Mu Qingling grabbed the young man's arm, "I want to return to Heyang City immediately and tell my father the news!"
"Helping you is natural. Bai Ze saw the power of mountain ghosts, could see at night, and saw Mu Qingling's somewhat flustered pretty face, "It's just that the Du family's demon path is not removed, with the strength of you and me, how can we return to Heyang safely?"
Mu Qingling opened his mouth, but that sentence was not said after all.
Bai Ze told her that if he wanted to kill Du Ming, one sword was enough. But that sword must be Bai Ze's killing move at the bottom of the box, and it can't be used easily.
Taking a step back, here is a sword to kill Du Ming, on the way back to the city, can it be guaranteed that there will be no other masters of Zhiwei to intercept and kill?
The Du family dared to attack her, which means that even Mu Suifeng must be cautious. If the Southern Regions family joins forces, this time they will return to Heyang, and there will be a bloody battle.
"You have peace of mind. Bai Ze comforted her, "It's good that your father is also the number one general in Yan Kingdom, so it's not so easy to deal with." For today's plan, we will get rid of the demon road first, and then we will go out of Dushan. He looked at Linglu, "With Brother Lu here, we will take a detour, and it will probably not take much time to return to Heyang." ”
Listening to Bai Ze's words, the nine-colored spirit deer raised his head proudly and shouted. After all, its reputation for traveling thousands of miles a day is not covered.
"Then are you sure to get rid of that demon path of the Du family?" Mu Qingling's eyes widened and he looked at Bai Ze.
Bai Ze was cute by her appearance, smiled confidently, and said, "What's so difficult about this, right, Brother Lu?"
"Chirp!" the spirit deer shaved the ground with its front hooves, shaking its head.
Mu Qingling saw that Bai Ze was very familiar with the spirit deer, and he was puzzled, but he didn't ask after all.
At the same time, Yan Guo, Tiger Prison.
The Dushan Mountain Range spans the three northern borders, and the territory of Dayan is divided into north and south by Dushan. Tiger Prison Pass is the north-south traffic artery of Yan Kingdom, the throat of Yan Kingdom, and one of the five heavenly passes in the north.
Seventy years ago, the northern border war, the army of Qi captured the southern region of Yan, and the army of King Qi went north, wanting to break through the pass in one fell swoop and capture Handan, the city of King Yan. The 400,000-strong army was blocked in front of the Tiger Prison for more than three months.
At that time, King Yan Zhao personally went south and led his army to guard the gate. Under the three wars, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in the two countries, and the corpses were piled up, and the crows danced wildly, often covering the sky and the sun in order to eat the dead corpses.
The two countries confronted each other, Yan Zhao Wang Cheng put on armor, beat the war drums, and was shot in the left eye by Tian Dan, a general of the Qi army and one of the four gods of the national war.
"Your Majesty!!" The eyes of the civil and military officials of the Tiger Prison Pass were about to split, and they rushed to King Yan Zhao's side in the rain of arrows.
How do you know that King Yan Zhao kept beating the drum with one hand, pulled out the arrow with the other, ate the left eye brought out by the arrow, and roared angrily, "The Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies, and the ministers retreat!" Then he continued to beat the war drum with both hands.
The soldiers of Yan Kingdom were all shocked, the Tiger Prison Pass roared angrily and shook the sky for a while, and the guards of the Pass shot back with seven or eight arrows in ten rounds, and under the exhaustion, they actually broke their fingers with a bow.
King Qi Cheng watched the battlefield from afar, and when he heard King Yan Zhao's move, he sighed at the moment, and said to his generals: "A good son of heaven guards the country, and the king dies." The country of Yan has this monarch, and the tiger prison is closed, even if the 400,000 soldiers of our Qi country are killed and wounded, it will be difficult to conquer. ”
King Qi Cheng immediately withdrew his troops, and the two countries ceased fighting.
During the national war, King Yan Zhao's sentence "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji" was passed on as a good story of the Seven Kingdoms, and after the war, the princes of the Seven Kingdoms were taught by their fathers, and they all kept that sentence in mind, and they were determined to fight for the country one day.
It is also because of the words of King Yan Zhao Zhenguan that the national war ended, and the successive monarchs of the seven kingdoms were all masters of eloquence and strategy, and the northern border was also balanced by the seven countries, and there was no national war for thirty years. In the northern world, everyone takes King Yanzhao as a model, and his good name, even after 70 years, when the people talk about it, the scholars of the Seven Kingdoms are still amazed by the former monarch.
Now King Yan Zhao has long been returned to dust, but his words, after the battle of Yan Qi Tiger Prison, were carved into couplets by Song Yuan, the first craftsman in the north, with flawless Dushan jade, and still hang on the tower of Tiger Prison Pass.
After the heavy rain, the tiger prison looked at the giant beast like grinding teeth and allowing blood, crawling in the missing mouth of Dushan. The air was filled with the smell of earth, but the guards did not flinch from the rain of arrows in the past, but they all hurriedly hid in the city tower in the heavy rain.
Late at night, the patrol commander climbed the tower, and some of the soldiers who sheltered from the rain were even sleeping soundly under the tower.
"Get up for me!" The patrol commander roared angrily, and the night watchmen woke up one after another, and when they saw someone coming, they hurriedly straightened out their swords and armors, and in a panic, someone didn't even have time to catch the knife, so they stood loose and shouted: "Commander Ye!"
"The vigil is such a heavy task, you dare to be so slack!" Ye Xuan was furious, looked at the loose military column in front of him, and drew his knife suddenly, "If the enemy army attacks, I'm afraid you don't know how your head fell! Where is the centurion on duty tonight, you are derelict in your duties, and you should be beheaded!"
"Commander Ye spares his life, Commander Ye spares his life!" At that moment, a commander in armor knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and snorted and cried, "The last general is guilty, but the last general is old and young, and I ask Commander Ye to spare my life!"
"Spare your life today, the enemy army is coming, who will spare my Dayan's life!" Ye Xuan glared angrily, and he was about to cut it with his knife.
The soldiers were silent.
But at this moment, a sudden change appeared! I saw that Ye Xuan's right hand holding the knife trembled, and a standard saber actually showed signs of coming out of his hand!
"What's going on?" Ye Xuan was shocked, his first reaction was an earthquake, but the city tower did not shake, only the knife in his hand trembled.
In just an instant, the entire tower, the blades of all the soldiers, trembled, and let out an ominous wail!
The centurion who knelt on the ground also noticed that something was wrong, and the saber on his waist trembled violently, and he unsheathed it on its own and flew out of the city tower with a bang!
"Drink!" Ye Xuan tried his best to hold the saber in his hand, but the other soldiers were no match for his cultivation, and for a while, the weapons in his waist and hands flew out on their own, and went straight to the wilderness outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
Hundreds of weapons flew into the night sky, Ye Xuan lost his mind for a while, and the saber in his hand came out of his hand, rushing towards the torrent of weapons.
Ye Xuan hurriedly leaned on the city wall to see.
I saw the torrent surging away, pointing straight at a strange black shadow in the wilderness outside the gate.
After the rain, the waning moon drilled out of the clouds, and the moonlight shone, Ye Xuan's eyes widened, and he finally saw what the black shadow was.
The monster had a white head and red feet, and looked like a monkey, and when it opened its mouth and roared in the wilderness, the torrent of weapons came in a moment, and it was swallowed alive in its stomach.
"Fierce, fierce beast Zhu is disgusted!!" Ye Xuan shouted, panicked, and went straight to the general's mansion where the Tiger Prison was locked in the night and night, with a frightened face.
"What did Commander Ye say?" the night watchmen leaned on the top of the city to watch.
The centurion jumped up, staring at the treacherous beast in the wilderness, and also shouted, his face pale, "It's Zhu Yan!"
The fierce beast recorded in Kyushu's "Chronicles of Strange Beasts", Zhu is disgusted! Looks like an ape, with a white head and red feet, see it, the world's soldiers!
The fierce beast Zhu Yan swallowed up the torrent of weapons, and roared twice at the wilderness, the sound was like the resonance of gold and iron, shocking people's hearts.
"Hehe, this is just the beginning of a declaration of war. Ten miles away, a well-carved carriage turned around and went away, pulling the cart was two white deer, the car was driven by a red-cured manman, and the driver did not squint, dressed in a cloth.
The sound coming from the car is charming and seductive. It's a pity that the coachman is deaf and he can't hear.
The cold wind blows, and the moon shines like frost.
The women's skirts in the car are stacked, and the green silk is like a waterfall. She was lazily lying on the soft silk bed covered with velvet in the car, and she was picking a crystal clear green grape from the fruit bowl and putting it in her mouth.
That lip is a brilliant red lip. The strange woman smiled softly, and her bewitching eyes were like a scarlet moon of fire.
It is not too much to use it on her.
After the demonstrative roar of the beast Zhu Yan, the figure gradually disappeared into the night. The coachman drove the white deer carriage to the south amid the wind chimes hanging from the eaves of the chariot.
At dawn, a crack opened in the door of the Tiger Prison. Two horses are out of the dust, one rides straight to the royal city of Handan, and the other rides south to Heyang.
On this day, the tiger prison of Yan Kingdom was shocked by the fierce beast Zhu Yan, which is said to be an ominous beast that will bring strife in the world as soon as it appears.
As soon as the news was delivered to Heyang City, the city was shocked.
The next day, the court meeting ended, thirteen horses were killed, and the scouts of the Tiger Prison finally sent the secret report to Handan.
The royal city rode on horseback and rode the dust.
Before the palace guards could dismount the scout, the scout had already planted himself under the horse. The gatekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, and the scout struggled to hand over the secret letter in his arms to the gatekeeper, and only said eight words, "Tiger Prison is eight hundred miles urgent", and then died of anger.
King Yan's three-day court meeting ended early, dismissed the courtiers, and took his personal eunuch Wang Yong straight to Xining Palace.
King Yan's footsteps were vain, he had been running for a long time, he was sweating profusely, regardless of his physique, he directly tore off the king's crown in the palace and threw it to the eunuch Wang Yong, "Concubine Xiang, lonely little baby, the lonely king is here!"
"Your Majesty, slow down, slow down!" The eunuch who had served King Yan for more than 20 years was also old, and he picked up his crown clothes with less air and more breath, and trotted to follow.
The town guards who entered the palace for the dead scouts to deliver the message collided with the civil and military ministers of the retreating dynasty on the right path of the palace.
"Why are you so flustered?" Shangqing He Zongtang stopped the town guards, who were over fifty years old, and were not angry and arrogant, "I remember that you are the guard of the Vermilion Bird Gate of the palace, why did you trespass on the court?"
"Lord Shangqing!" the town guard knelt down and presented the secret letter with both hands, "Tiger Prison Pass Emergency!"
On this day, King Yan had just entered Xining Palace, his clothes were gone, and he half-hugged and half-hugged the charming person, and was about to have a good time, when he was disturbed by the earth-shattering bell of the court.
"Who rings the bell, who rings the bell!" King Yan was furious, in the past 20 years, the court bell has only rang twice, and the last time was when the Seven Cities rebelled.
The bell rang, the palace was solemn, and Handan was boiling.
