Volume 2 Jiang Guo Chapter 10 The Demon Capital Reappears, a New Dynasty and a New Atmosphere
Unlike the Great War of Gods and Demons a hundred years ago, although the city reported the affairs of the demons today, it has little influence, and the rumors are only passed verbally from country to country, and they have not even reached the ears of some countries. The last time Yan Tiexin used the magic voice to announce the news to the world, the clouds in the sky changed into his appearance, and when the sky darkened, people looked up and saw the face of the demon. At that time, people were united in hatred of the enemy, and now the continent is scattered, and they wish that one of the enemy countries would be destroyed first, and then they would reap the benefits of the fisherman. In the past, all kinds of monsters were rampant in the world, and more than a dozen people were not necessarily the opponents of a monster, and everyone talked about the demon color change, but they still dared to confront the demons. However, today, although some people have heard that some people who used to be in the city were arrested and put into the palace, the common people were not affected, and probably the people were still a little happy in their hearts, and the people who harmed people also experienced the taste of being killed after all.
Some officials who returned home from the palace because they witnessed everything with their own eyes, and after returning home, they began to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave the city overnight to escape from Jiang Guo. There were rumors in the city for a while, everyone was in danger, some were ready to leave, giving up their brilliant life in the city, and some still didn't think so, after all, there was no pure land on this continent for a long time, and it would not be peaceful for too long to go anywhere. A hundred years is too long, people have only learned to deal with humans, and have forgotten how to deal with demons, a race that has been hostile to them for thousands of years. Many people also came to the outside of the palace, which was already heavily guarded, and idle people were not allowed to enter or leave, what happened in the palace? Has King Jiang been killed? What is the appearance of the demon clan that has not been seen for a hundred years? The people are standing outside the city, perhaps expecting a miracle. This miracle doesn't mean that the demons left suddenly, but that the demons can really change the country. In the past, even if they didn't have enough to eat, people still had smiles on their faces, but now that they are full, they can't help but feel gloomy, and they always feel that life has no breath.
The time is approaching dawn, and the fifth watch is coming to an end. The sun had not yet risen, and under the moonlight, Yan Tiege and Mengsheng sat in front of the stage outside King Jiang's bedroom, silent with the night.
Meng Sheng didn't speak, and Yan Tiege didn't ask anything. The two of them just sat in front of the stage, silent than sound. The sentence that Yan Tiege asked Meng Sheng about the "privet clan" before was like a time coagulant, making time stay at night. But before I knew it, the night seemed to light slightly, and the darkness was about to recede, and it wasn't long before dawn came.
The door of King Jiang's dormitory opened, and King Jiang walked out of the door. Mengsheng asked Jiang Wang why he woke up so early, and he replied, "I can't sleep." Even if you are a wolf-hearted dog, you can't sleep today. Seeing that King Jiang hadn't slept for long, Meng Sheng hoped that King Jiang would go back and make up for some sleep, but King Jiang knew it, and he understood that Yan Tiege was sitting next to him, and he must have doubts about his identity as a righteous daughter. And Mengsheng's identity is the secret of Jiang Guo, if it is made public, there will be a disaster of destroying the country. But now that the state no longer exists, then there is no need to hide.
Jiang Wang also sat on the stone bench and looked at Meng Sheng and Yan Tiege at each other. King Jiang asked Yan Tiege: "Why do you care about the little girl's life experience?"
"We came out of the demon realm, on the one hand, we were forced to be helpless, and on the other hand, we were looking for traces of the privet people. To tell you the truth, my nephew's mother is a privet clan, and under the influence of his mother, this kid has a different violent heart from the demon clan since he was a child. Not only is he kind-hearted, but he is also broad-minded and broad-minded. If he stays in the Demon Realm, it will cause earth-shaking changes, before my brother Yan Tiexin's approach has made the older generation of the Demon Realm resentful, and now that he has passed away, leaving this child behind will cause chaos in the Demon Realm, and will eventually lead to disaster and even destruction. He didn't want to attract demons to kill each other because of himself, so he came to the world, wanting to travel the world like his mother, experience the life of his mother at that time, and at best, he just wanted to live a life as an ordinary person. It's a pity that this time is different from the past, the nation that used to spread love in the human world has finally become a sinner condemned by everyone, he can no longer stay in the world like an ordinary person, and the character he inherited from his mother must make him feel that he has to do something for this world. He wants to avenge the grievances of those who sacrificed himself back then, and he also has to make his own contribution to the injustice between people. This kid has been warm-hearted since he was a child, so he has made a lot of friends. In the past, we demons had no friends in the eyes, because of the same strength, it was possible to become friends, but because of jealousy, we couldn't tolerate each other. It's because of this that there are so few people in the demon race. He hoped to find his mother's tribe and learn to experience their way of life, but he didn't fulfill his wish, and when he entered the world, he learned that the privet tribe was extinct. Knowing that I have met your daughter, and that she is so familiar to me, I have to confirm it myself. Even Che'er doesn't know about this, I hope it's true, so that Che'er won't be too assertive when doing things in the future, after all, there is no endless way, hope still exists, and he won't hate it because of it. Having said that, I asked to verify whether your daughter is a descendant of the privet people, and I am just waiting for her to be sure, and I am already inseparable from ten in my heart. “
"What would you do to my daughter if she was really a privet clanman?" asked King Jiang.
"Protect her. At least let Yan Che, who has hope, not despair. No matter how upright a person is, after experiencing despair, he may not be able to do something, and then it may really be the end of the world. We won't reveal your identity, and in our eyes, maybe your daughter's life is more important than our own. I had the opportunity to save his mother, but I missed it, and now I don't shy away from it. Please tell me. “
After listening to everything, Mengsheng was silent, and when she saw the eyes of King Jiang looking at her, she nodded and said, "Father, just tell him everything." Anyway, whether they are good or evil, the outcome is not something we can control. “
Hearing Mengsheng's reply, Jiang Wang calmed down for a moment and recalled the past:
"It should be sixteen years ago, the former Zhenyuan general General Zhao Jingqi resisted the eastward snake army in the poisonous swamp jungle of the Western Continent, and found an orphan in the dense forest. There are many poisonous fogs of fierce beasts in the dense forest, and it is incredible that the child can survive here, so he adopted the child. At that time, General Zhao's wife, who was traveling with the army, was pregnant, and suddenly had a difficult birth because of the poisonous fog. When giving birth, there was excessive bleeding and was in danger, and the midwife rescued for several hours but still failed to save General Zhao's wife and the child in her womb. Zhao Jingqi thought that the mother and son were dead, so he hid his face and cried bitterly, but unexpectedly, the baby in swaddling clothes suddenly cried, and then there was also a cry in the womb of his dead wife. Zhao Jingqi heard the cry of a child in his wife's womb, and cut open his wife's belly with a sword, and there was actually a living baby boy in his belly! The baby boy escaped death in a desperate situation, but he did not expect that because the mother inhaled an excessive amount of poisonous fog and affected the fetus, coupled with the premature birth and dying life, the child's whole body turned purple, and the crying voice gradually weakened. Just when Zhao Jingqi picked up the child and was desperate, the baby girl actually emitted a faint silver light, and the silver light hit the baby boy, and the baby boy actually began to cry loudly again and regained his vitality. The baby girl in General Zhao's hand grabbed the boy's hand with his hand, and the poisonous spots on the baby's body miraculously subsided. Then Zhao Jingqi put the two children together, and the baby girl shed blue tears. Zhao Jingqi saw the baby girl leaving blue tears and understood that the baby girl was the orphan of the privet clan, it is rumored that the tears of the girl snail are as clear as holy water, which can heal all wounds, and the tears fall into the soil and the sun does not evaporate for three days. Zhao Jingqi wiped his tears on his child and hurried back to the palace to find the imperial doctor. Three days later, General Zhao rushed back to the palace and buried his wife, so he hurriedly took the child to the imperial medical hall. After the imperial doctor took the baby boy in General Zhao's hand, he checked the pulse and looked at the appearance, and actually told Zhao Jingqi that the boy's life and health were not at all problematic. Zhao Jingqi was overjoyed, so he raised the two children as his own, and only said to the outside that his wife gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus before her death. It's a pity that the imperial doctor is a scheming person, he has long colluded with some royal families in the court, he bribed the midwife who followed General Zhao's march at that time, and learned that there was a baby girl who was not General Zhao's biological daughter, and the baby girl was strange, there were no wild beasts to eat in the dense forest of the Dunum for many days, and the poisonous fog did not harm the baby girl, and the baby girl also shed blue tears in General Zhao's hands. At that time, the privet clan was recognized as the person who was killed in the world, and it was the culprit who let the demon clan go, Zhao Jingqi went to the poisonous swamp jungle to solve the border troubles this time, and also destroyed a lot of private property of the royal family along the way, released a lot of imprisoned people, and damaged the interests of the royal family. The royal family used Zhao Jingqi's private possession of privet descendants to eliminate him, and the human and material evidence was readily available, even if the king was in power at that time, he could not change the impeachment of the hundred officials. Zhao Jingqi, who knew his fate soon, secretly found me and handed over this girl to me. Zhao Jingqi has been upright and upright all his life, and he has done his best for my big Jiang to ensure that the Western Ten Thousand Snakes Country does not cross the border and harm its own people. But at that time, I couldn't keep him, so I could only promise him to keep the baby girl and join the royal family on the grounds of fornication. In the end, Zhao Jingqi came to the palace alone to plead guilty, only hoping that everyone would not hurt his children. At my persuasion, the other royal families agreed that his son would live, but that he would have to go into exile. Knowing that his son would survive, General Zhao knelt down on the spot, kowtowed three times, shouted to the sky that he hoped the world would no longer be so ugly, and then killed himself. For the baby girl, no one knew the whereabouts of the baby girl after Zhao Jingqi committed suicide, and there was no trace when the house was raided. After his son was exiled, I sent Yan Qinghou to protect him all the way. At that time, Yan Qinghou was just a forbidden soldier, and his father and Zhao Jingqi were old friends, so he had always protected the boy. It's a pity that later I mentioned him as the general of Zhenyuan, he was busy with military affairs, and resisted the invasion of Liang in the north, but his subordinates were negligent and lost the child, and his whereabouts have not been known since. At this point, the baby girl was growing up in the palace, and no one dared to doubt her identity in front of me. At that time, no concubine wanted to be her adoptive mother, and she was taken care of by me since she was a child. And because I said to the court that this child was the illegitimate son of me and my servant, my majesty plummeted, and many ministers thought that I was a promiscuous king, and they turned to other royal families. But as long as the clear person is clear and has a clear conscience, I don't care about this bit of gossip. It's just that after so many years, I am ashamed of the dead General Zhao Jingqi, the people of the country are miserable under my governance, and I have not even been able to save his own child. I named my child Jiang Mengsheng, hoping that in the future, the people can make their dreams come true, and the family will sing every night, and there will be no more pain of being separated from their wives. But my three unruly sons all covet the throne, and they will not let a woman reign on the throne. “
Jiang Wang told the story almost completely, and Yan Tiege nodded with satisfaction and said, "You're sure it's easy to do." In many cases, things that you dare not do and are not able to do well should be handed over to others. Some people have always had the ability, but they just don't have the opportunity. “
King Jiang didn't understand what Yan Tiege meant, Yan Tiege got up and asked him to stay with his daughter for a while, and then go to the main hall when the morning court was in the morning. Yan Tiege finished speaking and left them. King Jiang's father and daughter were silent, speechless at each other, and there were already tears in their hearts.
The sun finally rose, and the first rays of sunlight shone down the steps of the main hall, making people forget the darkness of last night. The forbidden army of the palace also guarded all night, and Yan Qinghou organized a shift change of guards, and he himself did not sleep all night, and he did not sleep all night. In the main hall of the palace, Yan Che sat on the throne early and crossed his legs in front of the table. Some of the cleaning slaves and maids saw Yan Che and were so afraid that they didn't dare to go up and wipe the table. After Yan Qinghou entered the palace, he saw Yan Che's ugly state, and wanted to step forward to stop his unreasonable behavior and let him respect the throne more, but he didn't have the energy to do it anymore, how the safety of the country was in the hands of this demon at the moment, it was still calm, maybe his senseless actions would have an uncontrollable impact. He stayed awake all night, his eyelids were heavy, and when he entered the hall, he stood in the same position where he usually stood.
Green Wolf, Ji Wumei, Hua Yao and Hua Rui, as well as Ghost Shili have all returned one after another. Last night he interrogated the gangsters, who confessed to what they had done, and the crimes of robbing people's daughters, usury, and mutilating lives were clearly revealed, and what awaited them was the punishment they deserved.
The green wolf brought back two people, one of whom was a teenager whom Yan Che had specified to see. Zhao Yige's body was tired, and when he looked up, he only saw a person on the throne with his legs crossed, unable to see the front, and a mighty general standing next to him. There was no one else in the palace, and there were no kings and ministers.
The green wolf said to Yan Che: "Young master, I have brought all the people you want, they are all alive, and there are no missing arms or legs. “
Yan Che withdrew his leg and stepped down from the throne.
"What are the reasons for your survival?"
Yan Che asked Zhao Yige this question in the slave trading market.
"It was revenge before, and it will be revenge later. “
"Then you can go, I'll give you freedom, and you can take revenge yourself. “
Hearing Yan Che's answer, Zhao Yige was a little surprised. He was puzzled and said, "Isn't there any purpose for you to let me out?"
"There is no purpose. I originally wanted you to live well, but I can't stop you if you want to die. “
Zhao Yige was even more puzzled: "What does this mean?"
"When you kill someone, you have to think that one day someone will be killed. Avengers will one day be avenged by someone else. My mother used to say that contentment is always happy, and it is beautiful to have a shade to rest from the fatigue of the journey, and it is better to go back to the cage before you understand the meaning of life. No one else can kill you in a cage, and you can't kill anyone. Think about it, if you do this, one day there will be an orphan like you, fatherless and motherless, and after a long time, he will seek revenge on you like you. What is the meaning of this vicious circle? Is the purpose of human life to end the lives of others? If you want to understand, then answer me. “
"It's ridiculous, are you the new king of the Jiang Dynasty? I haven't heard the news of Jiang Wang's death. In the past, my father laid a solid foundation for the Jiang Dynasty, and the border was stable, and he was not afraid of the horse leather shroud. As a result, he was indifferent to being framed by traitors, how much of the stability of the past ten years was brought down by my father Zhao Jingqi, and he actually sat on his throne well, putting the foundation of more than ten years in vain...... What kind of justice will eventually be served, and the dead will not be able to live, so that I will not take revenge and live with regret and lifelong guilt, which is also meaningful?"
Hearing the young man say that his father was Zhao Jingqi, Yan Qinghou was shocked. He hurriedly ran to Zhao Yige's side and lowered his body, carefully studying his appearance.
"You are General Zhao's orphan, Zhao Yige?"
"You are?"
"You can call me the eldest brother, my father and your father were comrades-in-arms back then. In the past, I have been secretly protecting you, but I have neglected you. You've suffered all these years, where are you?"
"Where life is worse than death. The entire land of Jiang Country is a hell where life is worse than death. “
Yan Che was a little disappointed in the young man. In his eyes, the reason to live is to destroy others.
Yan Qinghou knew that Zhao Yige was in an unstable mood now, so he explained the current situation to him for the time being. When Zhao Yige heard this, the person who solved him in front of him was actually a demon, and he was surprised in his heart, and he couldn't understand why the demon clan saved an ordinary mortal. If there are other intentions, why give him freedom?
Zhao Yige's transformation point was beyond Yan Che's expectations, hatred had planted roots in his sixteen-year-old heart, if it continued to sprout and grow, this child would only become an emotionless killing machine. Yan Che patted Zhao Yige on the shoulder and said, "What you said is in the past, now let you see what kind of new atmosphere this new country will have." If you feel that the world is different, you can come to me again, and I will give you a new goal to live. ”
Yan Che then returned to his seat, and the others also brought their own people and placed them on the floor in the main hall. Ghost Shili summoned Qian Sheng's soul from the staff, and Sister Yao herself walked into the palace from outside the palace, and Hua Yiniang was dragged by her hair and thrown to the ground in a crazy way, still talking crazy in her mouth. Luo Tong has been kneeling on the ground since he put it down from the green wolf's hand. The whole hall is as if the king of the underworld is judging the souls of the dead who have just entered the underworld, and assigning them to which hell to be punished.
After seeing the crowd, Yan Che said leisurely: "It's almost time, go and call your uncle and King Jiang." As for those who are officials, it doesn't matter if they come or not, anyway, there is General Yan as a witness. Today, I will officially announce to the world, the new Demon Capital City will be established, and I will represent the will of the ancestors, the will of the four ancient gods, and the will of the Demon Race to unify the earth again!"
