The 32nd year of the historical record of the halberd is the fourth year of the great drought that is rare in a hundred years, the scorching sun hangs in the sky, the river dry wells dry up, the grass and trees are scorched, the seedlings do not grow, the crops are not harvested, the poor people can't even gnaw the bark, and there is a miserable howl of cannibalism in many places.

And the hard-hit countries have opened altars to pray for rain, except for a few thunderstorms, not half a drop of rain.

The power of the Huoluo Sect to reach the heavens is deeply rooted in the hearts of all people, and the fairy Jin Ling in the sect has the ability to prophesy prophets.

Amid the cries of the people, the legendary prophet went to the capital of the Quran kings, the least affected city, to pray for rain on the altar of the ancient and solemn royal tomb.

Under the expectant attention of the dignitaries of various countries and the royal family of Gulan, this Jin Ling Fairy, with the assistance of a group of red-clothed ghost-faced sect members, cast a spell to roll up the dark clouds in the sky, and the Dao lightning showed a hideous state between the rolling black clouds, and the deafening thunder sounded like the sound of heaven in everyone's ears.

Just when everyone was ready to welcome a baptism of rain with joy, dozens of lightning bolts rushed down, and in a huge boom, the ancient mausoleums were split.

In an instant, the black clouds dispersed, and the dazzling blazing sunlight began to sweep wildly across the cracked land again.

When everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at the mess in front of them, the fairy Jin Ling pointed in the direction of the tomb of the royal family of Gulan and said: The Gulan Kingdom stole the heavenly stone and hid it in the mausoleum, which attracted the wrath of the gods and sent down natural disasters as punishment.

Before he could finish speaking, he was shot down from the altar by a hidden weapon and vomited blood and fell into a coma.

The situation changed sharply, the original prayer for rain became a crusade, the envoys of the countries came to ask for an explanation in the main hall, the palace was still arguing with words, the frontier was already full of smoke, and the remaining strength of the North Jialuo united the southwest tribes to attack left and right, conquer the city, and take the name of the crusade for the heavens.

Not to be outdone, those small countries that had been ravaged by drought did not forget to be left behind, opening the door for the Garo army.

You Shi has been a general for generations, and this generation of generals You Hong is even more outstanding, invincible on the battlefield, and known as the god of war in the hearts of the people. It's just that he was forced to the status quo, and finally issued a royal decree, You Hong as the commander, and led an army of 100,000 to the northern frontier.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, but after years of droughts, where did the grain and grass supply the 100,000 army?

Before leaving the city, the Huoluo Sect did not forget to add a fire, claiming that the army of Qur'an would be punished by the gods in this battle, and the entire army would be destroyed.

The first king, who sat on the throne, ignored it, and did not press the military rations, but the orders to go out one by one were promulgated like a reminder.

In this embattled situation, the army of the Northern Expedition still set out in full gear after all.

After several months, from the first good news to the subsequent defeat, some ministers in the court and the central government naturally knew in their hearts that in this difficult situation, You Hong had done his best, and the young Rui Wang, who had been silent, changed his neutral posture and stood up to ask for reinforcements to the north.

Standing up with him was Zeng Jiqing, the son of the Zeng family, who knelt down and asked to lead troops to support.

Two days later, King Rui led 20,000 troops to the north of Xinjiang for 20,000 days and nights, and the eldest princess, who was Youhong's wife, joined some princes and ministers of the clan to raise grain and grass and handed them to King Rui, asking him to take them to the north together.

It's just that the reinforcement army encountered countless assassinations and catastrophes on the way, and when they arrived in the northern Xinjiang, thousands of soldiers had been lost around them, fortunately the grain and grass were lost, but after all, it was too late, as the prophecy showed, the whole army led by You Hong was wiped out, and only a few hundred people retreated to the city of Luoluo, if the king of Fei Rui brought people to arrive, I am afraid that there is really no one left.

The remaining remnants were no longer human-shaped, and the shape was erect, and You Hong was injured by poisoned arrows and could not be treated in time, which was even more described as haggard and trance-like.

King Rui immediately sent a message back to the royal capital, and attacked the enemy camp at night with thunder, strengthened the city defenses, and defended the already dangerous city of Luoluo.

A few days another wave of reinforcements arrived, to assist King Rui to take over the city of Luoluo, along with the black armor army led by Zeng Jiqing, directly under the king's order of the black armor army to come, at the same time issued a royal edict, the above reprimanded You Hong for several crimes, after reading the seriously injured and unconscious You Hong was carried into the cage, the surviving remnants of the soldiers were not spared, were included in the same party and escorted into the royal capital.

Half a month later, there was news that You Hong had colluded with the enemy army to seek to usurp the throne, and even committed a crime in the palace to assassinate the king, and had been ambushed.

Yuan Fuxi was the thirty-first year of the halberd to return to Luoluo City, because his father and eldest brother were killed by mountain bandits, he took leave to go home to mourn, and happened to avoid a catastrophe.

When he learned the news of You's slaughter, he was very sad and couldn't believe it, and a few days later, a mysterious person came to the house, bringing the eldest princess's handwritten letter and two tokens, saying that in a few days, the little county lord would escort him to his mansion and entrust him.

But that's seven years.

You Xue listened quietly, since she came to this other world two years ago, she heard the so-called palace rebellion a few years ago, the catastrophe in northern Xinjiang and other vague history, although she only held the attitude of listening to the wind, but as she was the person concerned, it was false to say that she was not bothered.

Two years later, the old man finally learned the events that had happened at that time, and the doubts that had been pressed in his heart dissipated a lot.

In the flower hall, only Yuan Fuxi and You Xue sat opposite each other, Hu Yanke followed them to the door and still didn't go in together, turned around and jumped on a locust tree, You Xue was not reluctant, let him go.

"If I remember correctly, on the day of the extermination of the You clan, it rained heavily. You Xue said.

Rain fell from heaven to cleanse the world of filth, and years of drought temporarily put an end to it on that day.

It was also on that day that the religion of Fire was last seen in the capital of the Qur'an.

When the fire licked away Youhong's figure, the sky was full of thunder, and several lightning bolts cut through the blazing sky like sharp blades, and rushed straight down to burn the group of Huoluo disciples who were worshipping the gods on the altar to ashes, but did not hurt the bystanders in the slightest.

The first king was assassinated and seriously injured and died, and the new king ascended the throne, but he was a congenital disease. It is not known for various reasons, but it is known that since the new king ascended the throne, the power of the queen family has slowly infiltrated the government and the opposition, affecting military and political decision-making.

You Xue recalled in her mind that in her dream, the commander of the Black Armor Guard, the young general with a cold face and sharp eyebrows, "Does Uncle Yuan know who the commander of the Black Armor Guard is?"

Yuan Fuxi: "Black Armor Guard, does the county lord refer to the Black Armor Army directly under the king's order? Now the leader of the Black Armor Army is Zeng Xiao, the second son of the Zeng family. ”

Zeng Xiao is not the young general in the dream, You Xue can be sure.

"Is there a difference between the Black Armor Guard and the Black Armor Army?" You Xue didn't understand.

"The army of the Black Armor Army to defend the safety of Gyeonggi is directly under the king's order, independent of the military and political control, and has the supreme command of the royal capital Janissaries, the Black Armor Guards...... Yuan Fuxi snorted coldly and said: "It's another story, it's just a secret weapon for the minions of the descendants, a secret weapon to kill political enemies, and a tool to eradicate dissidents." ”

No, You Xue scratched her head, "I was chased and killed near Shuoling Mountain before, and it was the Black Armor Army led by Zeng Xiao, so isn't Zeng Xiao the commander of the Black Armor Army?"

"What?" Yuan Fuxi stood up in shock, looked You Xue up and down, and said with concern: "They recognize the county lord?" You Xue nodded, "I was injured in the head before, and I still can't remember who I am, and I am vague about the past, so I didn't deliberately hide my face at that time, so I met it." ”

"They were able to find the county lord first beyond the eyes and ears of the Blazing Li League, after so many years, what do they want......" Yuan Fuxi was shocked and suspicious, with a little guilt.

You Xue said: "Uncle Yuan, I think it was an accident to meet them there, they were originally tracking the escort car of the Huoluo Sect, and they wanted to rescue the little prince of Minle in Beichen Kingdom. ”

Yuan Fuxi's face eased at this time, "I see." ”

You Xue remembered that Zhen Yunze and Qingyang had also been injured by the Black Armor Guard, although Zhen Yunze was reluctant to say more, she still noticed the clues, if the Black Armor Army and the Black Armor Guard were both driven by the Hou Clan, then the Hou Clan and the party planned to destroy King Rui, and then wait for the death of this sick Yang Zi King, and then claim himself king? After all, as far as she knew, there were no heirs in the harem today.

And for the new king who was born with a disease, she became more and more curious, what has the new king done over the years? The court was controlled by the harem, and the world was turned upside down, and in the stormy and smoky rivers and mountains, the loyal and good buried the bones, and only the royal brother who was deprived of power was still running around tirelessly.

This new king seems to be just a puppet and has done nothing, but there is nothing wrong with it.

But what does that have to do with her? She shook her head, and suddenly another question came to mind.

"Uncle Yuan, do you know that I have been a baby since I was a child?" You Xue wanted to know who the 'Brother Jiqing' in the dream was, and after thinking about it, she could only ask.

Yuan Fuxi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered a little, he walked a few steps slowly, and hesitated: "What else did the county lord remember?" Could it be that this little master is really as infatuated with the eldest son of the Zeng family as rumored, even if he can't remember it now, he still can't forget it, if that's the case, it's really too tricky.

"Is there such a thing?" You Xue didn't notice Yuan Fuxi's hesitant expression, and asked again without hearing a response.

"That is the first king's royal gift, and the county lord has a marriage contract is the Zeng family's eldest son Zeng Jiqing, the former commander of the black armor army, when the first king was stabbed, for the first king to block a sword, hurt the heart, become a waste, after the new king ascended the throne, he took off his official hat, away from home and did not know his whereabouts. ”

In this way, the cold young general who appeared in the execution ground in the dream was Zeng Jiqing.

You Xue nodded, and did not continue on this topic.

Just when Yuan Fuxi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask You Xue about his experience over the years, as well as the next arrangements, two people who looked like right-hand men hurriedly came from outside the courtyard, knelt down in front of the gate and panted and said: "The owner of the village is not good, Liang Gongzi escaped from the courtyard, and his subordinates dare not be heavy-handed, and now he is surrounded in the back garden, I am afraid that it will not last long, please show the owner." ”

Liang Gongzi You Xue looked at Yuanfu Creek.
