Shinoke Village ushered in the third morning after the war. The sun hangs in the sky early, breaking away the clouds and letting the sun shine on the earth.

Fu Qinggu got up early as always, made breakfast, helped his father up from the bed, helped him to the table to eat, and then carried a bucket to prepare to go to the river to wash clothes. Some women also came to the river one after another, all of them came to wash clothes, and when they saw Fu Qinggu, they all greeted each other. A woman close to Fu Qinggu saw that she was wearing a ring on her hand, which seemed to be quite precious, and there was a large purple gem on the ring, which was dazzling and bright. The woman asked her curiously where the ring came from, and said that the jewelry must be of great value and rare in the world. Other women also approached Duanmo's ring, saying that it was so beautiful that it made people take their eyes off it. As soon as everyone said this, Fu Qinggu also felt that this precious jewelry was not suitable for him, and he was afraid that he would damage it when he washed his clothes, so he took it off and replied that it was given by Zhao Gongzi, and he couldn't sell the pawn casually, so he put the ring in the box when he returned home.

At noon on the day Yan Che and Yan Qinghou left, the village chief gathered the villagers to discuss the next affairs of the village. Fushun Hou Jin Zhen fled, Qi Guo will be revenged, there is a possibility of a comeback, and Xiaojia Village will be the first to suffer. In fact, the villagers did not know that Jin Zhen had died on the road. During the discussion, some of the villagers said that they would abandon the village, and the army was near the national capital, and it was unlikely that they would arrive in time like last time. Some people went on to say that if they gave up the village, they would not accept them, their original home, Yucheng, had been occupied by the Qi State for more than ten years, and the Jiang State had never wanted to come back. The place where the people of Jiang Country live is naturally the territory of Jiang Country, if there is not even a human figure, doesn't it tell others that this is a borderless land, and everyone robs it?

When there were different opinions, Fu Qinggu said that he would guard the village and fight the enemy to the end. The villagers were stunned for a moment, and then laughed at her, saying that she did not know the height of the sky, and that she was a woman who did not understand her duties, and interjected when discussing the affairs of the village. Fu Qing was stubborn, saying that she was incapable, she accepted it, and said that she was a woman and had no power, and she couldn't accept it. The young people of the village have all gone to serve in the army, and it is all women who support the village. How many people in their sixties in the village are not served by women, men and women are the same in this case. Fu Qinggu emphasized that you can't always count on others to help, at least you have to do your part. After all, Yan Qinghou is only one person, and he can't run back and forth on the various borders, and now he is eyeing Jiang Guo not only in the east in the Qi country, but also in the north Liang country and in the south Yong country. Only when we are strong is hard power, so that others will be more or less afraid of us, instead of intruding unscrupulously. The villagers laughed at her ignorance, and would only say that if the enemy soldiers were really coming, which one would not flee to save their lives, and then everyone broke up unhappily.

Fu Qinggu was not discouraged by this, and on the same day, she prepared the defense of the village by herself and armed the village according to her own ideas. The woman who was stabbed by Jin Zhen before couldn't work, Fu Qinggu Fu Qinggu often went to deliver meals when she was free, and treated her children as younger brothers. Every time they went up the mountain to cut bamboo, the siblings would go together and carry the bamboo back to the village. The father is disabled, and seeing his daughter working so hard, he also understands her strong character. Her two elder brothers died on the battlefield early, which made her understand that if she didn't work hard, her fate would be controlled by others in the end. Her mother saved her life with the residual warmth of her body, making her know how to cherish life even more. The daughter carried the bamboo back, and the father helped to cut the bamboo into a cone and tie it tightly with a rope to make a horse rejection. When he retired that year, he still had a sword to bring back to the village and hide it in the ground, hoping that the sword was not broken. After digging through the dirt and finding it, I found that it was a little rusty and had to be re-polished. In this way, the father and daughter tinkered in the yard for two days. It's a pity that after all, there are few people, and nothing can be done in two days. But Fu Qinggu still insisted on going up the mountain to cut bamboo, and when she returned home, her father taught her how to use a sword.

Fu Qinggu has been doing rough work since he was a child, and his hands and feet are stronger than ordinary women. When she picked up the sword her father gave her, it was the first time she held a weapon. Although the sword was rusty, it was still sharp after polishing, and it could split the bamboo at once. Taught by her father, she began to swing her sword like a new recruit. These actions have been seen by the villagers, and many people still don't think so, and some people have already been touched in their hearts.

That night she washed the dishes and chopsticks and went back to her room. Someone in the village was looking for the village chief, and they were chatting in the house. Fu Qinggu stayed in the room and was bored, remembering the ring that was placed in the box during the day a few days ago, and took it out to look at it again. The ring is set with a purple gemstone, which is rare in the world, and if you look closely, the lines inside the gem seem to be moving. Yan Che had told her that when she really needed help, the ring could help her. But she didn't know what was so magical about this ring, maybe it was priceless and could be sold for a lot of money. Just then my father entered, and the villagers with whom he was chatting had already returned. Her father was on crutches and told her that there were people in the village who were matchmakers, and that the man he introduced was a businessman in Iwa. Fu Qinggu immediately refused, and Fu Lao also knew the result, so he didn't say anything more, and let her rest early. Fu Qinggu put the ring next to the bed, and then blew out the candle and fell asleep.

At night, she dreamed that a unit of the Qi State attacked and the people in the village were slaughtered. She woke up from her dream, and the night was silent, and the air was only the sound of rustling, and what seemed to be the sound of human activity, coming from her yard. Fu Qinggu saw a dim light emitting from under the pillow, and took the pillow away to find that the ring had obvious brilliance, like a night pearl. She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked out of the house with the ring.

Fu Qinggu was completely stunned when she arrived at the courtyard, and couldn't believe everything in front of her: the props that had not been finished during the day had actually been made by everyone! and they were made more delicately and firmly than hers. Fu Qinggu was surprised and saw a figure in the moonlight. The figure got closer and closer, making her think that she was still in a dream: the person who came was exactly like her!

Fu Qinggu calmed down and asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

The other person said, "I am who you are." ”

Fu Qinggu was very dissatisfied with this unclear answer, how could there be two selves in the world. She asked, "Where are you from?"

The other party then replied, "In the chaos of nothingness." I heard your request, and you called me again, and I came out. ”

"Where?"

The other party pointed to the ring in Fu Qinggu's hand. It turned out that this person came out of the ring! Of course, Fu Qinggu felt incredible, and asked her again: "What is your name, and why do you look the same as me?"

The other said, "I don't have a name, I was contained by this ring at the beginning of Chaos, and I became one with it." The previous users used to call me the machine spirit. As for my appearance, I didn't have a form, but the chaotic consciousness evolved itself through the user's ears and eyes, so I appeared in your form according to your appearance. ”

This machine spirit is both "chaotic" and "machine spirit", which is completely something that Fu Qinggu has never heard of, which makes her even more confused. She said, "Anyway, you're not human, and you're not a bad person, are you?"

"I don't know what's good and what's bad, but I'm really not human, I'm a fragment of Pangu, a part of the universe. All I knew was that the user called me, and I came out. I sense your needs and do these things according to your consciousness. Although, I don't know what these things are. The machine spirit replied.

"Pangu? Sounds like a personal name. User, do you mean me?" Fu Qinggu pointed uncertainly at himself, and the machine spirit nodded. Fu Qinggu breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know how to summon this machine spirit, but what Zhao Shaoxia said before was indeed correct, this ring does have a lot of power, and it is by no means an ordinary precious ring that can repay the money. Fu Qinggu said to the machine spirit, "You made all these armor and weapons?" and the machine spirit nodded again. Fu Qinggu was very happy, looking at these weapons, they were stronger than what they had made during the day, and the blades of the weapons were also sharpened. She thought for a moment and said, "Can you do me another favor?"

The next morning, the villagers all got up one after another, and when they went out, they were surprised to find that there was an extra river outside the village overnight, and the river surrounded the whole village, and there was a bridge at the entrance of the village. When everyone was talking, Fu Qinggu walked in front of everyone and showed off these masterpieces to everyone. The villagers asked, "What's going on? You did it alone?" You can't do these things in two or three days without a dozen people. ”

Fu Qinggu said: "Of course I can't do it alone, a Zhao Daxia gave me a treasure before, and I made it with this treasure." After speaking, he revealed the ring on his hand and shouted "Ah Zi", and the machine spirit appeared in front of everyone. The villagers were all stunned, a person who was exactly the same as Fu Qinggu appeared in front of them, and they couldn't even tell the real from the fake. Unexpectedly, that ring had such a great ability, and the villagers all looked at the figure who was exactly the same as Fu Qinggu in amazement.

"Ah Zi, is it my name?" said the machine spirit.

"Yes, everyone has a name, and you will be called Ah Zi in the future. Then Fu Qinggu waved the ring again, conjuring the armor and weapons he had made last night from the ring. She told everyone: "Before, we had a reason to say that we were incapable, but now that someone has helped us, we have no reason to say that we are powerless." Everyone picks the guys and deals with the enemies that may come next. This ring can also store a lot of things, but I'm not proficient yet, so I can't put too many things, otherwise I won't be able to find it. ”

But the people stared at each other and remained indifferent, and no one dared to come forward and pick up their weapons. Fu Qinggu was also puzzled, obviously everything had been done, why no one stood up at this time. As a result, the first to stand up was her adopted brother, who was small but also tried to take up arms, and he said with difficulty: "I must avenge my mother!" The village chief also limped out, and he said earnestly: "Although I am old, after all, I have still fought, I know the cruelty of war, and everyone is afraid of war." But the current environment is that if you don't hit others, others will still hit them. Even if I lose a leg, I still have a few rabbit cubs that I can still cut down if my skills have not regressed. I don't want to be taken hostage next time, and let Yan Qinghou be in a dilemma. After hearing the words of the village chief and seeing his example, the people came out one by one, and they all picked up their weapons. Men, women, young and old, all stood up. Everyone seemed to be inspired and vowed to defend the village themselves. They took time out of their daily farm work to practice. Men and women of all ages are uneven, but everyone has a confident expression, after all, there has never been a real sword or a real gun, and no one has thought about the true cruelty of war. The village chief took the lead in teaching everyone to shoot arrows, use spears, arrange tactics, and set up a lookout at the village gate, which was in full swing.

During the lunch break, Fu Qinggu thought of Yan Che. She didn't know how Yan Che was doing in the capital now, and she didn't know if she had a chance to thank this benefactor. In fact, she really didn't know that on the third day, the Meng Dynasty had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the country was ushering in new changes.

Above the palace of the Meng Dynasty, there were already dark clouds, and the people in the city thought that it was going to rain and change the sky, but they did not know that the changes that were taking place in the palace were a change that affected the fate of the country and the entire continent.

Yan Che stood in front of King Jiang and was full of grandeur.

Yan Qinghou finally understood that the young man he brought was not an ordinary person, not only could not help the country, but wanted to destroy the country. It seemed that in an instant, he was about to become a sinner for the ages, and he actually lured the wolf into the house and brought the demon people to the front of the highest power in the country. He immediately shouted at Yan Che: "Zhao ...... Demon Yan Che, what you said is true? Are you a demon? There is no joke in the court, you have committed a capital crime by talking nonsense like this. ”

Yan Che said to Yan Qinghou: "Since I have committed a crime, it is still a capital crime, why don't you General Yan take matters into his own hands and capture me?"

Yan Qinghou knew that he was not his opponent, and he had already unarmed his weapon when he entered the palace, and now that the iron sword was not in his hand, he had no weapon. Even if he has weapons, it won't help, from the battle of Xiaojia Village, he knows that the other party's strength is in the ascending realm, and it is simply a world different from himself. He asked helplessly, "Could it be that everything you fought against the Qi army in Xiaojia Village was your deliberate planning?

Yan Che said, "That's not it. I wasn't interested in anything about the throne or the country before I came, but I had an idea for today. Before, I cared about the people's suffering, and I went wherever there was misfortune, until there was no despair wherever I went. As a result, when I arrived in the Meng Dynasty, I saw that the people here were in dire straits. They are all people, but they are sealed because of their status, and they are judged to be worth because of their wealth. The people are hungry for hope and have survived in the world, but the leaders have been slow to give the people the life they want. In particular, people often talk about Yan Qinghou, saying that Yan Qinghou will definitely take back the lost territory and not have to fight again. They have been waiting for you, and you have to fight desperately for this useless person, a false position. You and I will look at this old man, he is almost old enough to enter the earth, he is sick, and he can't do anything for this country and its people. Do you know the true face of this country? Do you know if there are people under human skin? How many beasts in human skin are more greedy in this place than us demons, oppressing and eating people. I went to see it and learned about this city through a day, where the rich life is only owned by stepping on the bodies of ordinary people, and the people who really pay for labor do not share in the fruits of labor, and are even arranged to wait for death in the place of "Dream City". ”

At the mention of Dream City, the princess's face turned sad. Yan Qinghou is actually well aware of the stubborn problems in the country, but this is not something that can be solved overnight, especially since the three princes have an estate in it, and one of them may inherit the throne in the future. And there was no one in the court to side with him, he was alone, and the impeachment of the prince was drowned out by others.

"Even so, you can't seek to usurp the throne and rebel. It is because of this that the country is embarrassed that I recommended you to govern the country, but you have been deceiving me and trying to snatch the throne. Yan Qinghou said angrily.

"General Yan, you are wrong, I didn't rob it. Your King Jiang will take the initiative to give me the throne. This should be called giving way, isn't it?" Yan Che finished speaking, and said to King Jiang who was sitting in the chair, "I'll make a bet with you, if the people of Jiang Country no longer sleep in the open and don't have enough to eat, there will no longer be people who die on the battlefield. The people can live a stable life, and you will give me the throne. Even the thrones of other countries are mine. If I can't, I'll go back to where I came from and never come again. ”

Yan Tiege, who was on the side, felt sincere admiration for his nephew at this time, Yan Che had always been weak and incompetent, and he had never been so determined to do something.

The atmosphere in the court became very tense, and everyone did not dare to make a sound. The current situation is very unfavorable for the three princes, and the coveted throne is likely to be handed over, and the second prince immediately called out to King Jiang and asked him not to fall for the demon Yan Che. Yan Che turned his head and glared, causing him to kneel on the ground in fear for an instant. And Jiang Wang is also very calm, with his age, it seems that he has experienced many ups and downs when he was young, and his state has not fluctuated much.

King Jiang thought about it for a while and replied to him: "The old man is ashamed, the country has been in power for decades, and the country has gone from prosperity to decline, and it has nothing to do with me. Now the country is adrift and in danger, but the old man is powerless, and the century-old foundation of my ancestors is destroyed in my hands. This gambling old man is willing to gamble, if the demon king can really do it, the old man will naturally step down and give way to you. If not, the whole country will be begged for it, and the jade will be burned. ”

After King Jiang said this, all the ministers knelt down and shouted "No", but King Jiang had made up his mind.

Yan Qinghou thought that Jiang Wang was forced to be helpless when he said this, and the disaster was caused by himself, and he had to understand it himself. But when he wanted to step forward to capture Yan Che, Yan Tiege had already seen his thoughts and suddenly moved to his side. Standing beside him, the pressure emanating from Yan Tiege's body made him unable to move.

After King Jiang personally agreed, Yan Che breathed a long sigh of relief: "Just waiting for your words, I've been holding back some anger for a day." Please ask your subordinates to tell all the people in Jiang Country that King Jiang is now taken over by my demon Yan Che, and all Jiang people must obey my orders. ”

Jiang Wang finally confirmed to Yan Che: "I hope you can do what you say." “

"Hmph, I hope I don't just talk about it with my mouth, you'd better keep your body and use your eyes to see how I govern the country. “

King Jiang summoned the guards and asked them to go out immediately, first notify the people in the city, and then let the officials at all levels convey the various counties through the post station, so that the whole country knew that Jiang Guo had changed hands and was controlled by the demons.

Seeing that the situation had been decided, the princes were unwilling, they slandered Yan Qinghou, saying that he was the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people, brought the demon into the capital, and instigated the ministers to ask him to hurry up and kill Yan Che. However, Yan Qinghou did not take action on the grounds that King Jiang was hostage. Yan Qinghou understood that his strength was far from Yan Che, and his actions were just moths to the fire, and Yan Tiege was pressing with his aura beside him, and ordinary people couldn't see that it was extremely difficult for Yan Qinghou to stand now. And Yan Che didn't harm King Jiang, and even cleaned up the government and the opposition in another incomprehensible way.

Outside the city, the soldier in charge of summoning beat the gong and shouted in the city: "The demon clan has taken King Jiang hostage, and the demon has reappeared in the world!"

Yan Che was in a very comfortable mood at this time, and he felt that he had already started something big. Then he immediately issued an order to his subordinates:

Clear the domestic cancer!

The people in the palace didn't understand what Yan Che meant. Yan Che said: "You humans just cooperate with us, and then I will govern the country according to my own way." In order to ensure the safety of King Jiang and prevent accidents during my reign over the country, my uncle will take good care of your king. Afterwards, Yan Che led all his entourage out of the palace, leaving Yan Tiege alone.

Yan Tiege said to the people in the palace with a very kind attitude: "Everyone prepare, the new dynasty is coming." “
