Chapter 20: God's World
The collective poisoning incident of the people of Fushun City, after receiving the help of the medical saint, the situation has greatly improved. At this time, people had the opportunity to bring the news into Pei'an City.
Jiang Mengsheng is not only like a dignified woman in the court, but also has the majesty of decisiveness when making decisions. In just two days, she felt that Yan Che and Zhao Yige had been away for a long time. Li Jing has always been her personal guard, and it is the first time that he has left her for so long.
A letter from Fushun City reached her, and she opened the envelope in the court and read it under the gaze of all the officials. No one knew what was in the envelope, but the news that could be handed over to the palace by hand was definitely urgent.
Jiang Mengsheng was originally looking at the letter calmly, but when he suddenly saw the next content, his mood continued to fluctuate, his breathing was short, like a choppy sea, and his mood rose and fell. Until I saw the last word, it was Li Jing, I breathed a long sigh of relief and closed the letter.
Some officials saw that Jiang Mengsheng's expression had changed significantly after reading the letter, so they asked Jiang Mengsheng what was on the letter. Because everyone knows that now is the time to face war, and such a letter is likely to be military intelligence.
Jiang Mengsheng calmed down and explained the contents of the letter to everyone.
"Late the night before yesterday, Fushun City was invaded by the enemy. The enemy spread the plague in Fushun City, causing more than half of the people to be infected with the disease. ”
This sentence made the court suddenly explode. In an instant, the officials and generals shouted, you say a word to me. This Fushun City was the first city facing the Jiang State, and it was covered by natural hazards, and more than four military camps with nearly 500,000 soldiers were stationed nearby. Everyone thought that Yan Qinghou was a person who valued love and righteousness, and said that he would fight a decisive battle in ten days, but he didn't expect to be extremely treacherous and hurt the lives of ordinary people with such despicable means. All the perceptions of Yan Qinghou have completely changed.
Jiang Mengsheng continued: "Fortunately, the medical saint is there and solves the crisis of the plague, and now Fushun City is no longer a threat. The poisoner was a swordsman, and the letter said that the swordsman was a disciple of the Sword Master, and later the Sword Master appeared and took the swordsman away. ”
Jiang Mengsheng told the officials the ins and outs of the letter, and asked people to take down the letter and show it to them. After reading the letter, the officials were angry and asked Jiang Mengsheng to immediately send troops to attack Yan Qinghou. Jiang Mengsheng said that Zhao Yige and the others had not rescued King Jiang yet, and the demons who had gone to the north had not returned. War is a big deal, and you can't give an order until the demons come back, after all, this place is already a place for demons.
When Jiang Mengsheng said this fact, everyone did not deny it, but they were all sad. In the past, the person who sat in the highest position in the court was King Qi. Now it's a woman, and the real person behind the scenes is still the demons. The officials who are human beings are very apprehensive, and they suddenly realize that they used to fight against people from other countries for their own selfishness. Now the gap in the country has given the demons an opportunity, and they have even been reduced to obeying the arrangements of the demons to attack other humans. Just like cockfighting, chickens in a cage are raised by humans, but the ultimate goal is to kill each other until the other party dies. What happens to the winner? It will end up being a meal on the plate. They now seem to be the enemies of the Jiang Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom coalition led by Yan Qinghou, but they are a little envious in their hearts that Yan Qinghou still dares to stand up and resist the demons.
After the court meeting, Jiang Mengsheng returned to the house. She was a little sad because there was another letter that she had not shown to the courtiers. The letter wrote that Li Jing was resting in Fushun City and was about to return to Jiang to continue to receive Zhao Yige, but Zhao Yige had been discovered by Yan Qinghou and imprisoned. That sword saint is the master of the poisonous swordsman in Fushun City, and the master of Yan Qinghou. If the Juggernaut joins Yan Qinghou's side, Yan Qinghou's coalition will be unstoppable without demons. She is also worried about her father's safety, even if King Jiang is not her biological father, but he is also her only relative in the world.
At this time, Fu Qinggu walked into the house and saw Jiang Mengsheng, who was slumped when he came back from the court, and hurriedly went up to comfort her. Fu Qinggu has been pregnant for four months, and now she can see her lower abdomen bulging. Jiang Mengsheng didn't want the troubles of the court to affect her, so she didn't say anything about the war. In her heart, in a desperate situation, a person's change will be much greater than she imagined. In any case, she could not have imagined that Yan Qinghou would actually use the lives of thousands of people in a city as bargaining chips in order to deal with the demons.
The palace maid brought the brazier and put it in the house, it was not yet the coldest time, but everyone's heart was frozen into ice, waiting for the sun to thaw.
In Dongyang City, in a cell in the prison, Zhao Yige sat at a table, looking at the straight candle flame on the table. There was still food and drinks on the table, but he didn't know how to drink yet, so he just ate. The ropes that bound him had been untied, as Daigo's people had told him that as soon as he escaped from his cell, they would kill King Kang and falsely accuse him of killing him. Zhao Yige smiled bitterly after hearing this, thinking that Yan Qinghou would actually want to be in the same league with these despicable and shameless people. He simply stayed in the cell and thought of other ways.
The Sword Saint appeared in Dongyang City that day to punish Mu Ruxian and Yan for their behavior. Those Daigo people would not let him come so easily, and then leave after saying some high-sounding words, their purpose is also to hope that the Sword Master can join the team of demon slayers.
The Sword Saint knew in his heart that Jin Shijie and Daigo seemed to be uniting to deal with the demons and liberate the human race, but once they succeeded, they would go back to the past and continue to make the countries fall into a fight. The so-called unity of mankind can only advance and retreat together under the same interests, and when the day comes to share the fruits of victory, as long as they say a word, they can stir up relations between countries. Such a person must not cooperate.
On the other side of the city wall, Jin Shijie was also looking at the Sword Saint. Someone asked him about the Golden Six Sages behind him, saying that they had all heard that the Sword Saint had also lost to the hands of the Demons, such as the strongest swordsman today was not the opponent of the Demons, why did Yan Qinghou need the Sword Saint to join?
Jin Shijie said with a smile: "I used to think that I could control everything with power, power, and money, but now I know that what I get is only a few." When a person feels that he is the first in the world, what he thinks is the world is nothing but the world of a well. Man is a creature that sits in a well and watches the sky, and if he does not get information from other people, if he does not cooperate with others, he will always be at the bottom of the well. The strongest swordsman is just the title we give to the sword master, and whether he himself feels that he has reached the strongest is the most important thing. Go and tell Yan Qinghou that if the Sword Master doesn't agree, take him to see that "adult"!"
At that time, Yan Qinghou was still kneeling behind the Sword Saint on one knee, and Huang Qiying left a transmission note on Yan Qinghou's body, and told him Jin Shijie's words through the transmission note. Yan waited for the listen, got up and stood up from the ground.
Seeing Yan wait for himself to stand up, the Sword Master said a little angrily, "Who made you stand up?"
I saw Yan Qinghou say to the Sword Saint: "Master, there is a portrait for you to see, if you still want to punish me after you see it, listen to it." ”
The Sword Saint was also curious about what kind of person Yan Qinghou would take him to meet at this time, but as long as it was a Daigo person, he would not be happy no matter who it was. After speaking, Yan Qinghou took the Sword Saint and walked towards a high mountain, and no one followed.
Returning to the cave of the snow-capped mountain in the extremely cold land, Yan Che and his party finally walked out of the end of the cave. A bright light appeared, and the world that should have been extremely dark in the snow-capped mountains actually had a cave. They were at the mouth of a cliff, and on the other side of the cliff was a large piece of ice, flat and smooth, as if cut by a knife, and there was not a single twist and steep in sight. There was snow in the sky, but it was like a light snow in early winter, and there was no strong wind, so it was warm compared to the cold outside. The land on the opposite side is also very large, and it is impossible to tell that this is in the mountain, and who would have thought that the real place where God is is not the top of the mountain, but in this cave.
"How can there be light here?" Yan Che couldn't help but ask.
This is God's realm, and God can do anything incredible in His understanding. You can create the five lakes and seas by yourself, create the sun, moon and stars, and get a little light is nothing. After all, Nuwa just thought about it casually and created a person. Yan Tiege touched his beard, this Demon King of the Ages still knows a lot about the Protoss.
There is no way to the opposite side of the ice, so you should theoretically have to jump over it. The green wolf was eager to try, and before Balelan could say what way to get over, the green wolf had already jumped out of the cliff.
The distance from the hole to the ice is only a few hundred meters, and with the bounce power of the green wolf, it can be easily passed. But when he jumped up and was about to jump onto the ice, he would have landed on the ice with unmistakable accuracy, but when he approached the ice, the ice receded as if it were alive. Everyone watched from the cave, and no matter how the wolf jumped, the ice under his feet would disappear. It's like disappearing into thin air. Underneath the ice is a bottomless abyss, and if you step on it, you will fall into the abyss.
The green wolf couldn't find a place to land, and in the end, Yan Che grabbed the green wolf with the power of the air and brought him back to the cave.
"How could there be such a strange place?" The green wolf couldn't imagine that the ice was avoiding him as if it was alive, but Yan Tiege told him that this was the realization of the gods, and the gods probably set up some kind of mechanism, and only by following the correct route could they reach the other side, and no other way would work. At this time, Yan Che was still thinking about using the spirit to move over, but he also found that the spirit movement did not work. Because in God's comprehension, it is completely God who dominates the chaotic space, and Yan Che's chaos technique cannot be unfolded.
Then Balelan took out the mirror of the well and said to them, "With this you will be able to pass." ”
Everyone avoided it, wanting to see what the mirror could do. I saw that Pollelan took two pieces of ice and fixed the mirror, and placed it on the ground. Then the light shone on the mirror, and the mirror reflected the light, and where the light was reflected, there was a seemingly transparent bridge, which connected the ice on the other side of the cave, and the ice did not disappear.
"It turns out that this mirror is used for this purpose. ”
"Yes, but this mirror can only be used for two hours, and when the time comes, it will melt completely, and you will not be able to get out then. ”
"It's okay, there's no place to trap me yet. Don't come with me, you've helped me get here, I can go back. Yan Che said.
"Are you really just letting us go?" the white wolf was suspicious of Yan Che.
"Why, I have to kill you to kill you before you can believe it?" Yan Che said this, and the white wolf immediately picked up Balelan and walked back. Seeing them leave, Yan Che smiled and said, "The people now are so interesting. ”
The surrounding demons laughed. Yan Che was the first to take a step, stepping on the bridge made by the light, and making a gesture for everyone to follow. It didn't take long for them to cross the bridge and stand unharmed on the ice. It wasn't until soon after they left that the figures of Balelan and the white wolf appeared from the cave, and it turned out that they had not returned.
"Why don't you go?" asked the white wolf Balielan.
Balelan looked at the ice in the distance, and at the end of the ice there seemed to be a palace-like building. He looked into the distance and said to the white wolf, "It looks like someone is talking to me." ”
