That night, Fu Qinggu finally knew how a country works. These issues, which concern the food and clothing of millions of people across the country, can now be left to those who are capable and competent, instead of being ignored by the incompetent and profiting by the greedy, as was the case in the past. The current system is still flawed, but it will one day be perfected for the benefit of mankind. Fu and Jiang had a good conversation, and before they knew it, it was late at night, Fu Qinggu couldn't stand the sleepiness, and fell asleep on the table. Seeing Fu Qinggu sleeping, Jiang Mengsheng hurriedly asked someone to send her back to her room to rest, so as not to catch a cold. At this time, Hua Rui pushed open the door, conjured a wooden bed made of vines with one hand, and then held Fu Qinggu firmly in his hand, and took her out of the princess's mansion.

After sending Fu Qinggu back to the room, Hua Rui came to think about Yan Che's report on tonight's situation.

After listening to the return of the stamen, Yan Che also let her go to rest. He sat in a chair, and Yan Tiege was still sitting next to him.

"Looks like she's happier tonight than she was last night?" Yan Tiege said.

"What do you mean by that, uncle? As if to imply something to me. ”

"Seeing how nervous you've been these days, just kidding. She is an illiterate woman and has no ability to govern the government. She may be able to lead a village, but she is not the material for governing the country. Why did you let Jiang Mengsheng take her to learn about the government?"

"I just want to tell that the state should not be in the hands of a few, but the whole country, and everyone can give their opinion to the state and participate in it, that's all. She's a very good learner, and maybe from today she'll change her opinion of us demons. ”

"Is it enough for her to change her mind?"

"Of course it's not enough, but she has to get to know us first, otherwise she'll be with me forever with speculation, and we won't go far. ”

"Qi Guo's countermeasures, how are you prepared? I heard that you fought with the Moon God in Moon City, and you have entered a state of liberation. If there will be such a stronger enemy in the future, will you be able to deal with it?"

"I can. ”

"Don't put the burden on one person, and don't forget that you have us by your side. ”

"I won't forget this, I wouldn't be where I am today without you all this way. ”

"Have you ever wondered what would happen if the world was changed by you, but then it wasn't?"

"I thought about it, that's why I want to sow the seeds of hope in this land. The meaning of life is continuation, and if life does not stop, then hope will not be dashed. ”

"Alas, nephew, sometimes things are not as simple as they seem. Our world is just the first of the nine heavens of Haotian, and the moon god is only a small god of the two heavens, this Haotian has nine heavens, endless, and I don't know how powerful the enemy from afar will be. ”

"No matter how many heavens he is, I'm ready to change my life against the sky. ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. Yan Tiege came to visit late at night.

"General Yan, if you don't settle the soldiers and prepare for battle, what's the matter when you come late at night?" Yan Tiege asked.

Yan Qinghou gave a military salute and said, "Just now, my friend dragged someone to bring news from Dongyang City, saying that someone will come to stop our march tomorrow, and I hereby come to report to the Demon King." ”

"Dongyang City, your friend? is that the man with four arms, named Changqing?"

Yan Qinghou looked surprised: "Lord Demon King knows about him?"

Of course, he repelled the Qi army who came to sneak attack in Xiaojia Village, and he can be regarded as a chivalrous and courageous person. It's just that his purpose is also to kill me, but it's a pity that the strength is insufficient, I read that he helped Xiaojia Village, or an old friend of the Seven Swords with you, and didn't hurt his life, so he stayed in Xiaojia Village to recuperate. ”

"No wonder, I saw him in the Meng Dynasty, but he avoided it, deliberately avoided me, and used other people to tell me about it. It turns out that the king has already seen him, so it's no wonder he doesn't want to see me. ”

"This guy is just lost and maybe he's going to be a great talent in the future. Anyway, you said that Evergreen dragged people to tell you that someone will come to stop us tomorrow, did you say who it was?"

"He didn't say the specific name, but he said that there was only one person on the other side, and he was also acquainted with me, and I think it was probably one of the Seven Swords. ”

"Is it that Mo Feixue who is in Pei'an? It shouldn't be, she promised me in Shunzhou that she would not interfere in the war between my country and Qi again. I think it could be someone else, someone who is more stubborn......"

"It seems that General Yan already knows who the other party is in his heart, so if that person really appears tomorrow, let's bother General Yan to solve it personally. ”

Yan Che's words also gave Yan Qinghou a step down, you must know that the strength of the Seven Swords alone is not his opponent at all, and let Yan Qinghou deal with the Seven Swords who came to him, just hoping that Yan Qinghou can let go of the people who came, and let others be deterred, and dare not touch the status of the demon clan at will.

The three of them ended their conversation and waited for the dawn of the next day.

In the early morning, the rooster had just crowed, and the demon led an army of 200,000 humans on a journey. The people of Li sent the troops away outside the city, but their hearts were extremely conflicted: the human army led by the demons, this result is unimaginable, just thinking that this victory can be attributed to the demons, once this is lost, the country really ceases to exist.

On the road, Yan Che, Fu Qinggu, and Yan Tiege sat in a carriage. Yan Tiege saw that the three of them had nothing to say, so he chatted to break the embarrassment.

"Niece and daughter-in-law, I followed my husband to the battlefield on the second day of this wedding, but I have to be more careful. It's also good for my daughter's family to stay at home and spend more time with the elders. ”

"Thank you uncle for your concern, my husband promised me before marriage that the people of Yanguo would not lose a single soldier in this battle. I'm here to see how my husband keeps his promises. Moreover, the country will be difficult, regardless of gender. ”

Yan Che smiled slightly, and just as he wanted to speak, a soldier outside the carriage shouted, "King, Princess Mengsheng has something to see." ”

After Yan Che agreed, the carriage stopped, and Princess Mengsheng jumped into the carriage.

Princess Mengsheng saw Yan Che and Yan Tiege and saluted separately. When I saw Fu Qinggu, I don't know when there was an ordinary woman in the carriage. Yan Che saw that Mengsheng looked at Fu Qinggu in puzzlement, so he asked Fu Qinggu to introduce himself, the two sides had not met before, and they got to know each other.

Fu Qinggu is still polite, she has long heard that the king in the past had a beautiful and kind daughter named Jiang Mengsheng, and when she saw it today, she didn't expect it to be a girl younger than herself. Fu Qinggu hurriedly said: "The youngest daughter of the Cao Minfu family is named Qinggu, and she will meet the princess. ”

Yan Che listened to Fu Qinggu's introduction so simply, so he knocked her next to her and asked her to tell her about her relationship with herself. Fu Qinggu added embarrassedly: "I am Yan Che's wife. ”

Meng Sheng was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't know that the Demon King actually had a wife, and he was an ordinary mortal. Seeing Meng Sheng's reaction, Fu Qinggu added: "The little girl just got married yesterday, so the princess doesn't know ...... yet."

"No, no, no," Meng Sheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Since I am the wife of the king, then I should call the queen." The queen must not call me a princess anymore, just by name. ”

"Then how can I do it, the princess is like a saint in the eyes of the people, and I am lucky to see it today. ”

Yan Tiege suddenly laughed and touched his beard, which resolved the embarrassment between the two, and asked Meng Sheng not to care about these red tape etiquette for the first time, and to have time to get along slowly in the future. Then let Meng Sheng sit next to him and ask her what she wanted to come in.

Mengsheng said: "In the past, Jiang Guo had a custom when he went on an expedition, and the strong men would sing military songs on the journey. But now under the king's umbrella, he doesn't dare to make decisions on his own, and wants to ask the king for permission. ”

"What's the point of singing?" Yan Che asked.

"There is no point in singing in itself, but everyone knows that fighting a war is a matter of life and death. Many people are afraid of death and have little future, so their combat effectiveness is low. This military song has always been sung by Jiang Guo in the past, and people believe that this song can improve morale and make people believe that the future is bright. ”

After hearing this, Yan Che felt that this thing was useless, but it was essential. In fact, faith comes from oneself, but human beings are a group that has been exposed to it. As far as humanity is concerned, solidarity seems to trump uniqueness. Yan Che knew that although this method was of no use, since it was what humans themselves wanted, then it was enough to agree.

Mengsheng was very happy that Yan Che agreed to the request, originally it was a big crime to establish a new country and sing the national anthem of the old country, but Yan Che didn't care about these at all, but thought it was a trivial matter. Soon, the army, under the leadership of Yan Qinghou, shouted loudly:

The wind is blowing, and the man is gone.

Life and death are uncertain, life is uncertain.

The sound of horses' hooves and the strong men rise.

The sword is broken, and the triumphant song returns.

The troops slowly advanced under the loud singing, which revealed sadness and tragedy, which was people's helplessness for life and death and their desire for survival. This kind of style will give people the consciousness of putting oneself to death and then be born, so there are people who keep thinking about it in their hearts and use it to improve their desire for life.

As the military song progressed, even the wind began to rage with the desolation. The soldiers braved the wind, and no one stopped even though the wind and sand obscured their eyes. Nothing can stop people from moving forward, and any desperate situation seems to find a way out of human unity.

A gust of wind blew, startling Yan Che's horse. The horses raised their front hooves high, as if to foreshadow some kind of danger. Yan Che's carriage suddenly cracked, like a knife slashing. Yan Che sensed that this wind was unusual. Yin emerged from his shadow, only revealing one head, and said to Yan Che: "Young Master, this wind is strange. ”

"If you noticed it, I would have known sooner. The qi in this wind is not ordinary, there is a murderous aura. “

"Young Master, on the mountain a mile away, I felt a breath. These winds came from the mountains. Do you want me to go over and solve it?"

"How's he going?"

"He was just at the top of the hill and didn't move. “

"Looking at the power of this wind, I guess it's just a hello. Rather than us go over, let's wait for him to come by himself. “

Yan Qinghou, who was riding on horseback, also noticed that this wind was familiar, and he couldn't know the exact location of the wind source, so he just silently said in his heart: Ling Feng, I hope it's not you.

However, things always backfired, and soon after the march, the army ahead stopped. The soldiers in front of him ran to report to Yan Qinghou, saying that there was a swordsman blocking the way, and the wind was fierce all around him, and the army could not get close. The last thing Yan Qinghou wanted to happen happened.

After the army stopped, Yan Che also stepped down from the carriage, and the rest of his entourage also dismounted.

At the forefront of the army, the sky was covered with dark clouds, like the momentum of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it". A tornado that pierced through the dark clouds appeared at the front of the group and began to move towards them. Yan Qinghou immediately ordered the army to disperse to both sides, and the tornado did not move to both sides, but moved straight in the direction of Yan Qinghou. The tornado stopped in front of Yan Qinghou, and then the wind dispersed, revealing a figure in the dust. The figure said to Yan Qinghou: "Chop Iron, I didn't expect you to degenerate into a puppet of the demon clan. ”

"Ling Feng, things are not as simple as you think. A lot of things do have to be. Yan Qinghou said to the figure.

"Can I understand what you say that you are no longer the Seven Swords? Then I'm going to kill the demon behind you, and I guess you will stop it. ”

"Yes, on the one hand, I stopped you because I am the great general of the Yan Kingdom and want to protect the safety of the Great Demon King of the Yan Kingdom, and on the other hand, I really don't want you to sacrifice your life in vain. ”

"Sacrificing our lives? When we were named the Seven Swords in the Divine Sword Villa, we made an oath to do the right thing for Heaven and not to be in the same league as the Demon Dao King. It's just that you can be an official, but now you are in company with the demons, but you have mercy on your life, I am really ashamed of you. I intercepted the demons in two ways with Changqing, and I didn't expect to meet me first. I'll kill the demons, and by the way, take the name of your power sword out of the seven swords. ”

Hua Yao, who heard the words clearly from a distance, smiled: "Is this person thinking too much, and there is no need to say it if you daydream." “

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the young master, young master, let me go and beat him down. The green wolf asked Yan Che to fight, but Yan Che ignored it. Only then did he know that Yan Qinghou was also one of the Seven Swords, which showed that he already knew a thing or two about the strength of the so-called Seven Swords. These people wander in the rivers and lakes, and they all rely on their brains to do things. Rather than letting these humans see how easily demons can destroy their enemies, it is better to let them fight for it themselves and give themselves confidence. It's like knowing that they are outnumbered, they will use military songs to boost morale. Yan Che said to Yan Qinghou: "General Yan, since it is your old friend, it is up to you to solve it." I hope you will make a quick decision and not affect the progress of the crusade. Yan Che sat down in the carriage. In the carriage, Fu Qinggu looked puzzled and said why he didn't go out to have a look. Yan Che said that the real battle sometimes does not need eyes, and you can know the battle situation by feeling the qi of both sides.

Yan Qinghou was also extremely reluctant to receive Yan Che's order. He didn't want to draw his sword against his former friend. But there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers watching him beside him, and he couldn't back down. He pulled out his iron sword, jumped off his horse, and came to Ling Feng. The wind beside Ling Feng gradually receded, and everyone finally had an unobstructed view of his figure: this was a man of the same age as Yan Qinghou, with scars all over his body, the longest being a scar on his face, which made people shudder.

"Ling Feng, in fact, Chang Qing has already fought against the Demon King, and he has been defeated. The news that you will come is also what he brought to me. ”

Ling Feng didn't speak to Yan Qinghou again, and when he raised the broken sword, the hurricane beside him swept in again, surrounding him. The hilt of his broken sword is connected with a long stick, which looks as long as a Mo knife, which just makes up for the lack of length of the broken sword. And Yan Qinghou also raised his sword, and golden-red qi jumped out from the sword body.

The duel between the power sword and the wind sword is about to break out.
