Yan Fu, the city of rest.

Chai Longxiang looked at the generals and courtiers in front of him, this meeting had been held from late evening to late at night, but no matter how they discussed, the result was repeated, Lu Liangxin, who came to King Qin, thought that it was now necessary to gather all the forces of Yan Fu to fight to the death with the Yin State, and some people even put forward a request to negotiate peace with the Yin State, and Ye Yunpeng, who had returned from defeat, ordered someone to drag him out and behead, and the news of the Huailing Palace, after all, was leaked out, the Huailing King Chai Muzhi had rebelled and formed an alliance with the Yin State, and imprisoned or killed Cheshire, in short, he ignored the request of the Yan Yu royal family, and lost the strength of Huaiquan to Chai Longxiang, and the emperor hung his head in front of the courtiers, quite emaciated.

Lu Liangxin took a deep breath and looked at Chai Longmaung, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, the time of our survival is coming, you should cheer up." ”

The emperor finally raised his head and looked directly at Ye Yunpeng, the young man lowered his head in pain, he might have committed suicide with a knife to apologize, watching Yan Fu's fleet be engulfed in flames, and let the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry raid his rear camp and give them a painful blow, he should have sent more scouts to wander around Tiehe Mountain, instead of putting all his energy on Jingnan City, he really didn't expect that the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry actually attacked the rear camp in the direction they came from, at that time the south gate and the east gate had been broken by the soldiers, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry, maybe they would have occupied Jingnan City now。

"Then I ask one more thing. At this time, what do we rely on to defeat the army of the Yin Kingdom? Who would dare to lead troops to fight against the Iron Cavalry? Yes, and the city of rest has no walls at all, as long as they pass through the Valley of Storms, they can reach the city and kill us all...... Who can still lead troops to fight with the Yinguo people?"

Lu Liangxin said in a firm tone: "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead Naili's Thundering Cavalry Regiment to fight to the death with the people of the Yin Kingdom." ”

"How many people are there in the Thundering Cavalry now, 8,000 people? 6,000 people? You are going to die, for example, there are less than 30,000 soldiers left in the Xuanhuang army today, plus more than 40,000 of you Naili, and the largest number of troops is in Huaiquan, but that bastard of Chai Muzhi has already defected!

"Your Majesty...... Now we can only send a messenger to ask Shuyue to send troops, or also to ask Qingguo for troops...... It's the only way to go. The national teacher knelt down in front of the emperor, his eyes red.

"It's too late...... It's too late to ask Shuyue to send troops now, and these tens of thousands of Shuyue soldiers will go when they say they will go, and Tantai Ninghua doesn't know where to go as if he is dead. ”

"We shouldn't have formed an alliance with that poisonous snake, what did that old man say at the beginning, how can he talk to passers-by about the dead country...... That guy died early, and he probably couldn't see the fiasco of our Yan Fu, and maybe he was really going to die now. A certain courtier said in a strange way, Lu Liangxin suddenly clenched his fists, and the green tendons burst out from his neck, and the courtier who had spoken disrespectfully just now shrank in fear and was silent, Ye Yunpeng looked at these extremely human rights courtiers in front of him, and remembered the past

When he passed by them with the help of Ye Ba's son, he didn't pay attention to them at all, but now after he suffered a defeat, he rarely spoke along the way, occasionally bowed his head, and occasionally fell asleep.

"Maybe what Dr. Zuo said is right, we shouldn't have this war with Yinguo at all...... We are too weak. The emperor said quietly.

"If you don't cut the land to negotiate peace, send someone to negotiate with Yinguo, and leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood. Someone said in a very small voice.

"We can't give in to the Yin Kingdom like that bastard of Chai Muzhi, if so, what's the difference between it and the death of the country?" Lu Liangxin pointed out.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers have died in the first battle of Jingnan City, and they even slaughter......ed those war elephants," the national teacher said slowly, and suddenly grabbed the emperor's big sleeve and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, you have to think about the future of Yan Fu, we really can't fight anymore? What if we don't surrender? Hundreds of years later, thousands of years later, when the people mention Yan Fu, they will only say that this country was destroyed by the Yin State, and no one will care about our failure to surrender to the death, and our children and grandchildren are dead, what is the point of not surrendering?"

"Can't surrender!" Ye Yunpeng roared and stood up, blood oozed from the gauze wrapped around his mouth, he pointed at the national teacher and roared like an angry lion: "I know what you guys think again! Who the doesn't want to live, my father, Li Gangyi, they are all dead, I am alive! Like a coward, he came back with a defeated army!"

He walked towards the emperor step by step like a leopard in a hurry, his eyes red: "Your Majesty, I don't care what other people think, and I don't care what Your Majesty thinks of me, in short, I must kill the two brothers, Chu Xianzhao and Chu Yingyang, otherwise I won't dare to see Yan Ying's ancestors after I die." ”

The Yanyu people have always regarded revenge as an honor, but now how much capital they have to take revenge on the Yinguo people, the emperor doesn't know, he doesn't know anything now.

"I can't win against them...... I lost. The Emperor sighed heavily, and the words struck into everyone's hearts like a final word, some in pain, some in sobbing, some in anger, and some in sadness.

"Yan Fu hasn't lost yet, Your Majesty still has the Donghuang Bell in his hand!" Someone suddenly spoke, everyone was taken aback, the door of the deliberations was sealed tightly, and there were heavy soldiers outside the door, so no one could break in.

But the man did it, and appeared in front of the gate like a light breeze, as easily as entering his own backyard.

"Your Majesty, we still have the Eastern Emperor Bell, and we haven't lost yet. He emphasized.

"Whoever let this madman in, drag him out and kill him. Lu Liangxin roared and ordered, and immediately a soldier rushed forward with a knife, grabbed Ge Ping's big sleeve, and suddenly their hands burned, and the bright red fire rushed over them, and everyone stood up with wide eyes, watching the two soldiers being burned alive to ashes, only in an instant.

Ge Ping sighed: "You stupid ants, you obviously have the remnants of the gods and Buddhas in your hands

I don't know how to use it against you, so why do you leave the Eastern Emperor Bell in the city of rest, and worship it over and over again. ”

"That's a weapon to destroy the world, if it is used in the land of Yan Fu......" someone stammered.

"Destruction is accompanied by rebirth, and now Yan Fu has been brought to the brink of death by the Yin Kingdom, everything is clear in the heart, good and evil, black and white, good and evil, war and peace, destruction and new life. He approached the emperor step by step and looked at him with burning eyes: "From the moment the first man croaked in the womb of the gods and Buddhas, the war has already begun. ”

"We've always been at war. The Emperor said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, war ......" Ge Ping put his hand on his shoulder and touched his daughter's body wantonly: " The world is very big and life is bigger, every country, every place has different beliefs, believe in different gods and Buddhas, have you ever thought that gods and Buddhas also have leaders, people who have attained the Tao and ascended to immortals in the past generations think that they have seen through the essence of the world, in fact, they go from one world to another, when the battle of the end times arrives, everyone is preparing, you think you are living in your homeland, but in fact you are living on the battlefield left by the gods, the gods have chosen you, my king, so I sent me to guide you Yanfu, not Yinguo, not Qingguo......”

"Why are the gods and Buddhas...... We were chosen. ”

Ge Ping didn't speak, just quietly looked at the rising flames of the candlestick, and pondered for a long time: "Some people are still alive...... But soon to die...... Some people died...... But will be back soon. ”

"Sir...... What the hell are you talking about?"

"There is only one true god in this world, even if it is the gods of the clouds, whether it is the people who have ascended to the immortals, they are all servants of the true God, the true god overlooks everything in the world, and I am one of the servants who serve the true God, since I appeared in the land of Yan Fu, then it will bring war and destruction, the war of Yan Fu, the destruction of Yan Fu......"

"You already knew...... The stratagem of the Yinguo people...... They burned all our ships...... Those dead soldiers...... You already knew. ”

Ge Ping shook his head: "Yes, I did see the death and destruction of your soldiers, before this I also advised Your Majesty to use the Eastern Emperor Bell, but Your Majesty refused my request, you believe in your army too much, and finally disobeyed the will of the gods and Buddhas, and now the punishment comes quickly and painfully, this is the lesson of your Yan people." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, you could have saved those soldiers' ......," the emperor blushed, his lips tightened.

"The real enemy is arriving in your world. Ge Ping continued: "Now that your war is still going on, and the true God will only give power to those whom He favors, those who believe in Him, Your Majesty the Emperor, are you the one who believes in the true God?"

For this so-called true god, the emperor also heard of it for the first time, but he was silent for a while

：“...... If the true God can help us through the tribulation, yes, I would like to be His servant. ”

The ministers were also silent, just quietly looking at their emperor, and their emperor looked at the so-called messenger of the gods and Buddhas.

"God brings a new will...... Let you Yan Fu exhaust the army of the Yin Kingdom!" Ge Ping said in a low voice.

Everyone present was stunned, their hands trembled uncontrollably, and the emperor looked him in the eye and asked, "Do you really want to use the Eastern Emperor Bell?"

Ge Ping raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, took out a parchment map from his bosom and placed it on the long table, pointing it out to the emperor, the parchment was full of dense markings, that is, the terrain of Storm Valley, covering the entire canyon to the area of Sabbatical City.

He pointed to the north slope of the Storm Valley and said to the emperor: "If the people of the Yin Kingdom want to come in, they must enter the valley from the north slope, before they arrive, our soldiers have an absolute advantage in the ambush in the valley, the Yin Kingdom may now have an army of 80,000 people, but it is impossible for all of these 80,000 people to pour into the Storm Valley, and Chu Xianzhao will definitely appear on the front line of the battlefield, just like when he was in Jingnan City, commanding the Chinese army is not his tactics." ”

"And your army of tens of thousands of people, all of them will be used as bait for me to attract the attention of the Yin army, and finally kill from the flank and bring Chu Xuan to me!" Ge Ping said bluntly what was in his heart.

Lu Liangxin was taken aback: "With an army of tens of thousands of people to capture a person, then who will command this army?"

"There is no need to command, everyone is bait, there is no need to command each other between the bait, and no one can command it, now the crazy attack will make the Yinguo people mess up, their tactics will be completely disrupted by you, and the two armies are in a melee, everyone can be sacrificed, only you find the right time to cut into the capture of Chu Xuanzhao, so that we have the hope of victory, that child has the Tai'a Sword in his body, which can give your Donghuang Zhong a new life! This is the only means of victory." ”

"Now the question is, who will be the one who will capture Chu Xuanzhao, who has the ability to catch him?" Guo Yu looked around at all the people present.

In the extremely terrifying silence, Ye Yunpeng slowly stood up, and said in a cold and fierce voice: "I'll go!" I'll grab Chu Xuanzhao and bring it to you, I can put on the hidden armor of the Xuan Army, and lead a team to ambush Chu Xuanzhao, when the army falls into a melee, I will lead the team to rush forward and capture Chu Xuanzhao!"

The emperor was silent for a while, then put his hand on Ye Yunpeng's shoulder: "You have sacrificed a lot of things for Yan Yunpeng...... In fact, it doesn't have to be like this at all......"

Ye Yunpeng lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? My father was slaughtered by the Yinguo people, my friend Li Gangyi died under the city of Jingnan, I should have died instead of him, he insisted that I sit in the Chinese army and bring the ship into the city by himself, and finally I was burned alive by the fire of the Yinguo people......" After that, he raised his head and exhaled deeply: "I always am."

I feel like I'm so good that I can do anything, like my father...... But I'm so arrogant, that's why the people on the side die one after another. ”

After speaking, he knelt down in front of the emperor and said calmly: "Please let me do this, please let me die for Yan Fu." ”

Ge Ping glanced at the young man, pointed to the map and continued: "I suggest that you use 10,000 cavalry as the vanguard to die, don't you have a lot of artillery? Let your artillery constantly disturb the rear, block the Yinguo people in the Storm Valley, block them with swords, block them with corpses, block them with your dignity, and never let them successfully cross the Storm Valley, and let the people in the city be ready to reinforce at any time." ”

"The people...... Many of them are untrained people, and many of them are nobles, if they are driven to the battlefield, they can only be slaughtered by the Yinguo people!"

"The Yin army will be frightened by these powerless people, let your elite army surround the army of the Yin country, so that the rear troops of the Yin army will not be able to assist Chu Xuanzhao, our numerical superiority can do this, and trap Chu Xuanzhao in the Valley of Storms. ”

Ye Yunpeng said in a hard tone: "Just like when I was in Yunjian River, my father also wanted to trap the Yin ** team, but Chu Yingyang broke through the thousands of troops and broke our formation. ”

"These soldiers are all going to be sacrificed, no matter how many lives they pay, they can't let the people of the Yin country cross the Storm Valley, the people really don't have any combat power, but the victory is that the number of people will block them to the death, once the troops summoned by Chu are blocked in the Storm Valley, the rear troops of the Yin Kingdom will also be reinforced, just like filling a water bladder, the corpses of the two armies are piled up in the Valley of the Storm, which is exactly what I need. Ge Ping propped one hand on the table and said softly: "After you surround Chu Xianzhao, the young general will lead those hidden soldiers to attack from the flank with all their might, directly take down Cong Chu Zhao, who is located in the middle army, and bring him to me personally!"

"Remember that all people can be sacrificed until the Yin army is dragged into the whirlpool of melee, and you are the hidden poisonous snake, you will only appear when the battle is most chaotic, biting the enemy's throat!"

"I will definitely live up to my mission!" Ye Yunpeng knelt down on one knee.

"Remember that you must not kill him, you must live Chu Xuanzhao, once you capture him, I will personally descend on this battlefield, and use the Tai'a Sword in Chu Zhao's body to replenish the divine flame of the Eastern Emperor Bell, and I will reverse the victory of this battlefield with the power of a demigod." ”

Now in front of them is an army of nearly 100,000 to crush the city, the Wind Eagle Iron Cavalry, the Yinguo Iron Cavalry, the Shuyue spearmen, the Huaiquan warriors, batch after batch of top combat power, and they only have less than 50,000 troops, in order to trap Chu Xuan to death, neither let him advance, nor let him retreat!

"The founding emperor of Yan Fu also won this country by surprise attack, and destroyed the enemy in the east with the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell, why can't you do what your ancestors did again. ”

Ge Ping asked the emperor in a questioning tone.

"I will inherit the courage of my ancestors......" the emperor muttered.

"Your Majesty is a person who is watched by the true God, just like the king's breath flowing in Your Majesty's body, the true God has given you extraordinary courage, a flaming struggle, all enemies are turned into ashes under the majesty of Your Majesty, the eyes of the true God have witnessed that your ancestors Yan Fu destroyed a country with the Eastern Emperor Bell, and now they will also send me to Your Majesty's side in order to save you Yan Fu, Storm Valley will become the Yellow Spring Purgatory of the people of the Yin Kingdom, after that, we will destroy all the troops from the Yin Kingdom, even if Chu Xiaohua is a mortal ant in front of the true GodGe Ping's voice became more and more high-pitched, "Your Majesty is the one who has been chosen by the gods and Buddhas, the real king!"

Needless to say, okay! In order to drive the Yin** team out of our territory, I am willing to do whatever it takes!" When the emperor said this, a glimmer of gold flashed in his eyes, but he was keenly captured by the national teacher: "Your Majesty, you can't do this." ”

"Shut up, could it be that you have a better way to deal with the army of the Yin Kingdom?" the emperor glanced at him coldly, and the unleashed Wang Wei weighed on the old man's back like a heavy mountain.

He walked up to Ge Ping and looked into the other party's eyes: "When will Mr. Ge Ping's plan be carried out?"

"I need Your Majesty to take me to the so-called Fengshen Temple, I still have some preparations to do for the Eastern Emperor Bell in the temple, after this, Your Majesty's army has arrived in the Valley of Storms, and our plan is half successful......"

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, "I'm not worried about dealing with Chu Xuanzhao alone, and that Hua Youyue is also a divine soldier...... This woman ...... Not to be underestimated...... She's going to be a tough enemy. ”

"After all, behind this woman, there are more than 10,000 souls who died tragically under the phoenix piano......" he said quietly.

"Even if you win this war, even more terrible wars will rise, and in the dreams that the gods and Buddhas have given me, I have seen a man slaughtering the Celestial Dragons with a flaming sword, and thousands of horses galloping behind him, and thousands of swords will be suspended over the city, and the great beasts that sleep in the tomb will be awakened by it...... The person I hope to see in my dream is the person in front of me. He said something misty and confused.

Everyone present, please hurry up and take a break, the real battle is about to begin, say goodbye to your relatives, linger with your people, maybe there will be no such opportunity after that......" Ge Ping smiled and patted the emperor on the shoulder, turned away and disappeared in front of everyone, everyone didn't even have time to see clearly, they could only smell the smell of embers in the air.

The emperor sat down in the chair again, he could not deny that this man in white did have the strength close to that of a demigod, his eyes were cured by his own hands, and he had foreseen the situation of the army's crushing defeat in Jingnan City from the beginning, such a person...... He had such power, and this vague feeling in the clouds made him uncomfortable.

"You all go down and prepare, I want to be alone and quiet. ”

Soon the ministers were gone, and the emperor was the only one left, and his eyes began to weep as he stared at the candles on the table...... There is only fire in his eyes...... Endless fire.

The Emperor stared desperately for a long time, then began to sob.

......

......

In the middle of the night, the wind chimes by the eaves turn around and make the sound of bells, and they fall in the long night sky, but they can't find a place to fall.

Chai Liangyu suddenly woke up from the nightmare, her eyes were full of horror, soaked with cold sweat, and she suddenly found herself sitting alone in her bedroom, which made her eyes widen in horror and hold the pillow in her arms.

"Scales, what are you doing nightmares?" The man slowly walked to her side and sat down, the tiredness in his eyes could still be seen clearly in the darkness, Chai Scales looked at his father blankly, hugged him and buried his face in his arms: "I dreamed of ...... The city of Sabbath is full of fire...... Heavenly...... Flames larger than a man fell from the sky...... There was fire everywhere...... I'm scared. ”

"Don't be afraid, it's just a dream...... Just a dream. The emperor patted his daughter's back, and Chai Liangyu snorted: "Father, are we going to lose?"

"The king is dead, my father is going to die in this city no matter what, but you are different, no one stipulates that the princess must sacrifice for the country, you are the last bloodline of our Chai royal family, and my father just wants you to live well. ”

"Brother Cheshire is dead...... Li Gangyi's brother also died...... Brother Ye Yunpeng is very sad, but I can't help them with anything, I don't want them to go to war, I just want everyone to be happy together, but they left me one by one and died. ”

The emperor shook his head: "They have their own responsibilities, they just want more Yanfu people to live, if you are sad, they will also be very sad, it's all over, just remember them." ”

"Just because I'm the princess of Yan Fu, because my share is more noble than them, so I have to live?" she looked up at her father and emperor blankly, and her daughter's words pierced the emperor's chest like a knife, and the man smiled reluctantly: "Actually, everyone should live, but for them, some things are more important than life, for example, you are more important to me than my father's own life." ”

"I'm so tired......"

The two were silent for a while, and Chai Liangyu looked up at him: "When are you going to Qingguo?"

The queen sighed faintly: "We will leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow...... In order not to be conspicuous, you can only be wronged to take the most humble carriage, and when you arrive at Chaoping Port, there will be a boat to pick you up and cross the strait, and when you go to Qingguo, don't use the name Chai Lianyu from today onwards, my father has re-thought a name for you called Ye Zhiqiu, do you like it?"

"Leaf ...... Young...... Autumn?" muttered Chai Liangyu.

"Yes, but kitten, you call

What's the name?" The emperor stretched out his hand to tease his daughter's chin, and the girl shrank into his arms and laughed: "Ye Zhiqiu, my name is Ye Zhiqiu-"

"Do you know this person? Are you the princess of Yanyu?"

"I don't know, my name is Ye Zhiqiu. She pursed her lips, raised her fists to the back of her head as if she were throwing at him, and meowed twice.

The two laughed for a while, Chai Liangyu hugged his legs and rested his chin on his knees: "If our Yan Fu wins, will my father go back to Qingguo and take me back?"

The emperor said in a solemn tone: "It will be, if we win, my father and your mother will definitely go to Qingguo to find you in a big boat, we will ride the wind and waves, and take thousands of troops and horses to take you back, and I will never let my daughter leave my hometown again." ”

"Father is the best. She hugged him, and the Emperor slowly reached out and gently stroked her face.

For a long time, she trembled in his arms, and her beautiful deer eyes were filled with a little confusion: "But the father ...... I'm still afraid. ”

The emperor rested his chin on her shoulder, and the corners of his mouth pulled a hard line: "Don't be afraid, we will protect you, and everyone will protect you." "In this world, if anyone wants to hurt my daughter, they have to step over her father's corpse first!"
