Chapter 201: Roses and Lilacs

"What smells so good? I want to eat it too. Hua Youyue fell lightly from the roof of the car, looking at the two people in the carriage, Su Nianyu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, General Hua, I made a bowl, if you want to eat it, I'll get it for you now?"

The other party thought for a while: "No need, you go down first, I have something to talk to Chu Xianzhao alone, and I forgot to tell him last night." ”

Su Nianyu bowed to Hua Youyue, and exited the carriage with the food box, Chu Xianzhao smashed his tongue, looked at the other party and smiled maliciously: "Teacher...... Something. ”

The other party knocked on his head lightly or heavily, and said angrily: "I asked you to keep a good vigil for me, you actually hide here and entangle with women? What if the Yan people launch a surprise attack? My head was pierced by a sharp arrow, and you are still hiding here drinking lotus seed sugar water without knowing it, yes, you, worthy of being the son of Emperor Dayin, are not afraid before the battle, drunk and dismounted to kill famous generals!"

"I'm sorry...... Teacher, I will never do it again next time. Chu Xianzhao lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Do you dare to have a next time? But forget it, kids your age tend to focus on women. She sat down beside him and looked at him deeply.

"I'm sorry I ......"

"I didn't say you were wrong, don't always apologize, sorry doesn't mean anything, understand?" she said.

"Yes. ”

"While everyone is sleeping now, I have a few things to tell you," the other party was sitting down, and Chu Xianzhao knelt in front of her and nodded.

"We have many purposes for this expedition, but in the final analysis, we still have to take Yan Fu and completely destroy this thousand-year-old country, just like your father destroyed the West, do you know your mission?"

"Are we going to defend the city, or are we going to fight with Yan Fu?" Chu Xianzhao knew that now Shu Yue's military power was in the hands of Tantai Ninghua, and he had become an ally with Shu Yue, if the two countries were to join forces, it would be difficult to defeat Yan Fu.

"Yes, maybe we have to fight with Shu Yue, this is the only way for Yunjian River, and Jingnan City must be defended, if we don't hold it, Shu Yue and Yan Fu's army will in turn fight to our Yin country, if you start a war with these two countries in Yin country, I am afraid that the death and injury will be extremely tragic, and then both will lose and let Qingguo pick up a leftover, but the game is over." Hua Youyue said.

"Then we must defend Jingnan City to the death, and we must not let this city be lost. Chu Xianzhao clenched his fists, there were beads of sweat in his palms, and the other party shook his head: "Jingnan City is important, but Yan Fu is our ultimate goal, as a child of the royal family, there are some things you should know, but your father has not told you for a long time, let me tell you." ”

"Have you ever heard of the Divine Soldier?"

"What?"

"Divine soldiers, the weapons left by the gods of the clouds in the world, there are a total of ten divine soldiers recorded in the books, the phoenix qin in my body, you are on it

Tai'a sword, these are the weapons left by the gods, and they happen to be controlled by us. She rolled up her sleeves, slightly lucky, and a brilliant tattoo faintly appeared under her dazzling skin, Chu instantly summoned her arm and rubbed it: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, but sometimes it's hot and hot, you'll find out later. She sighed.

"Every country's arsenal has a collection of these divine weapons, the Tai'a Sword in the West, the Phoenix Qin of Dayin, the Sun-Shooting Bow of the Golden Horde, the Heaven Opening Axe of the Northern Barbarians, and what is in the Bottle Country, I forgot ......"

"Then Yan Fu also has such a divine weapon!"

"Smart, as far as we know, the divine weapon held by the Yan Fu royal family is-Donghuang Bell!"

"What is the difference between the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Tai'a Sword and the Phoenix Qin?"

"The Tai'a Sword can give you the power of a god, making you extraordinary, and the Phoenix Qin is also for me, just because the Eastern Emperor Bell is a little special. She paused before continuing, "I heard that you killed Su Changqing at the top of Guxia Mountain by using the Divine Flame outside the Heavenly Gate, right?" she asked.

"Hmm...... That was the only way I could defeat him, though it was dangerous. Chu Xianzhao scratched his head.

"What is the Divine Flame?" she asked again.

Chu Xianzhao shivered fiercely before he opened his mouth to describe: "Golden ...... Like a flowing stream, the next moment it may turn into a raging snake-like fire, once it ignites the fire, it cannot be shaken off, and the breath of nature contained in it is not something you can or I can imagine, if that divine flame descends on Lin'an City, the next moment it can destroy the city. ”

"It's dangerous, it's beautiful, but it's a pity I can't get a close-up look, it's going to kill me. It is said that the power of this Donghuang Bell comes from the divine flame, and the moment it is released is enough to destroy the world and the world, and the status of the divine soldier is respected. ”

"Do you know why Yan Fu and Qing Guo live next to each other, but this powerful Dragon Country is so slow to take Yan Fu?"

"I don't know. ”

"The city is located in the middle of the plain, and there are no mountains to protect it from the enemy's invasion, but you know why this city has not been taken once in history since the founding of the country, not even once. ”

"I don't know. ”

"Then let me tell you something, the Eastern Emperor Bell is in the rest of the city, and legend has it that this divine weapon has only been used once, and it has been three hundred years ago. You know that the Great Wilderness Beach in the east of Yanfu is actually a country three hundred years ago, this country is called Jindong, the scope of this country is from Yanfu in the east, to Guheguan in the west, to Qingguo Luntuoshan in the south, and to the border of Yinguo in the north. It has an extremely important position in the world dynasty, and its status is similar to our Yin country, which is very fearful of the Yanfu people, but now only a ruin remains are left, guess what destroyed this country?"

"What do you mean......"

"Nope

Wrong, it is the release of the Eastern Emperor Bell that instantly destroyed this Far Eastern power with a population of nearly 800,000, and legend has it that at that moment, the strong light shone brightly, the heavens and the earth roared, and the huge mushroom cloud rolled up, straight to the sky, and directly destroyed a country! The strong earthquake can even be felt by the people on the side of the bottle country, nearly 50 million trees within four thousand miles burned and fell, a huge fireball rose and even completely covered the sun, its brightness was incomparable to the scorching sun, countless people died in this disaster, and there was a large pit that was 100 miles long in the Jindong Imperial City, which was located at the center of the release, and we could go and see it together if we had the opportunity in the future. ”

Chu Xianzhao trembled, he didn't understand why this woman could tell this destruction in such a flat tone, as if joking with him, the woman noticed his uneasiness, smiled and rubbed his shoulder: "The Eastern Emperor Bell was originally just a gift, a gift from Emperor Yan Fu to Emperor Jindong, not long after the mission entered the Imperial City of Jindong, the Eastern Emperor Bell was released by them, and then this thousand-year-old country was destroyed in one day, but I appreciate the courage of the Yan Emperor Mission. ”

"That's not courage, it's madness. Chu Xianzhao pushed her hand away and looked at her seriously.

"But our enemy this time is such a madman, are you scared? Do you want to throw yourself into your mother's arms and cry? She quipped.

"My mother died when I was born......"

"Then I'm sorry, anyway, now that the Eastern Emperor Bell is in the city of rest, it will take nearly a hundred years for this divine soldier to absorb the breath of nature to prepare for the next release after it is released once, you also know that these Yanyu people can do everything, unlike the Xilin people, they would rather die than be slaves, once our army is in the city, I can't guarantee that they will not do anything beyond our imagination...... In short, we can give up everything in Yan Fu, but the Donghuang Bell must be included in the bag, do you know what I mean?"

"I ......"

"Don't be afraid, courage, you need courage...... You don't lack great luck, you just lack a brave heart, the brave are fearless, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, I believe you can do it. She whispered.

"Hmm. Chu Xianzhao showed a very reluctant smile, the heart in his chest was beating wildly, he even wanted to go back to Lin'an City now, he didn't know if he could do it, defend Jingnan City, attack the entire territory of Yanfu and reach Anxi City, and finally successfully take the Donghuang Bell...... It's easy to say, those tricky Yan Fu warriors are enough for them to drink a pot, in case the Eastern Emperor Bell is really released, they won't even have a chance to escape, and they will eventually be annihilated into a cloud of ashes by the Divine Flame, and even the soul will not survive.

"Scared?" she asked tentatively, "Anyway, you're afraid of this, let me tell you about the Yan Ying royal family, I think you'll be interested." ”

"Say, teacher......" he said weakly.

"Do you feel guilty about sleeping with your sister who is also your aunt?" she crooked

The head plays with a strand of his long hair.

"What are you talking about?" Chu was shocked.

"I mean yours and your ownβ€”"

"That's enough! you're so daring...... You're insulting royalty...... If it had been put in the past...... Chu Xianzhao was extremely angry, the long sword at his waist whispered, he stood up and planned to leave the carriage, he didn't want to say another word to this woman.

"Knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, you don't have any determination at all, your father tied my life to you, I'm really miserable. The woman said quietly.

"What do you mean? What does the ethical confusion have to do with the Yanfu royal family, you can forget about it as soon as you have a bad stomach, and you still teach the princess of the bad bottle country and the two girls I brought, I'm really fed up with you." ”

"If you don't want to listen, you can leave, anyway, not many people want to listen to me now. Hua Youyue's voice became lower and lower, ignoring Chu Xianzhao's anger, and took out a sandalwood comb to comb her hair in the mirror, Chu Xuanzhao hesitated for a moment, deciding to give her a chance to reinterpret.

"Go on, don't use my family as an example. Chu Xianzhao sat down again.

She chuckled and put down the comb: "Do you know that Yan Fu's current emperor and empress are brother and sister, and they also have a daughter, is this very rebellious in your opinion?" ”

"It's hard for me to accept, and aren't all the children born to close relatives stupid?

"Don't you royals like to marry close relatives?" she asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Chu Xianzhao didn't know how to refute her.

"But this situation rarely appears in the Yan Fu people, because this is their tradition, the Yan Fu royal family believes that only close relatives marry each other to give birth to more noble and intelligent offspring, and this tradition has been since the establishment of Yan Fu, not only the royal family, this is also very popular in the Yan Fu folk, most of the parents are brother and sister are also sister and brother relationship, in short, within three generations of direct marriage, so that their relationship is completely messed up, everyone is immersed in this entertainment and can't extricate themselves, I know it's ridiculous, but you have to learn to understand their culture。 ”

"Understood. Chu instantly summoned the urn and said angrily, but in fact, he still didn't understand a little, he didn't understand why Yan Yu was so different, and the marriage partner was actually his own relatives!

Hua Youyue thought for a while and said, " Yan Fu is a very strange country, they love Confucianism, but they have changed part of the truth in the original foundation of Confucianism, the monarch and the minister, father and son are completely inapplicable to them, the emperor is the supreme existence in other countries, but most of the power in the country belongs to the people, the emperor retains the right to start the war, but it must also conform to the will of the people, so you can understand why a blind man can be the emperor of Yan Fu, because he is only a tool for reproduction for this country, and does not have much real power。 ”

"Speaking of the Yanfu royal family, you have heard of the world

Beauty list?"

"That's for sure, I heard my father say that my aunt was rated at the age of eighteen and ranked among the top of the list, and two years later she was pulled down by the second princess of the Tang Kingdom, and she was so angry that my aunt couldn't sleep for a few days and nights. ”

"Well, it is true that the world's beauty list is very tempting for women in the world, and the people of the Rouge Hall will screen and evaluate, this judging standard is extremely harsh, voice, appearance, skills, anyone who can rank in the top ten has the qualifications to be a queen, such as you, most of them are dominated by the princesses of various countries, and there is a little bit of moisture. However, there are exceptions, such as Lu Baibai, she was born in the Qinglou, she can be gentle and lovely, but also charming and charming, both clear and glamorous, ranked in the top three for three consecutive years, and was later married home by Jia Ping'an, a wealthy businessman in the Tang Kingdom. ”

Hua Youyue muttered: "Yan Fu's queen Chai Lu Mu, since she was thirteen years old, has been at the top of the list, and has dominated the list of beauties in the world for thirteen consecutive years, her status is unshakable, known as the peerless in the world, unparalleled in the sky. Legend has it that the former princess of Yan Fu rarely left the palace in a year, except for the Spring Festival of the New Year, which must be presided over by the princess herself, that is the most congested time in Yan Fu Rest City, and the rich merchants and peerless warriors of Yan Fu will flock to the rest of the city, just to see the princess. ”

"Among them, there are many pursuits of the children of the royal family of various countries, but Chai Lu Mu has refused, the reason is unknown, probably because they feel that they are not worthy of themselves. ”

"How beautiful is that?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either, in case we win the battle against Yan Ying, you can turn the queen back to Lin'an City as a plaything, anyway, the queen is only twenty-six years old this year, she can be regarded as a very beautiful big sister to you, and finally gave birth to a litter of beautiful children, if you think about it like this, is it very motivated to win the war? She spoke in a tone of encouragement.

Chu Xianzhao coughed lowly, not giving her room to continue to use her imagination: "Tell me about the story of the Yan Fu royal family, you just said that they have a daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Yan Fu......"

"Yes, I'll tell you secretly, there is actually a secret about this princess Yan Ying. She smiled mysteriously, and Chu Xianzhao's curiosity was aroused: "What secret?"

"Oops, my mouth is a little dry after I said so much. She looked at him with a smile, Chu Xianzhao poured her a glass of warm water without saying a word, and the other party pouted: "I wanted you to go to the cooking department to get me a pot of wine, forget it, drink it again tonight, and you have to hurry in the morning." ”

She took the water cup and drank it unhurriedly, Chu Xianzhao was a little anxious, at this time he was like a child who was aroused by the curiosity of the storyteller in the teahouse.

"Don't be scared, it is said that this princess Yanfu also inherited the beauty of the queen, but she is not the emperor's biological daughter, but the emperor's. She put down the cup and watched as Chu Xianzhao's mouth slowly grew large enough to stuff an egg.

"The Emperor's ...... Isn't the Empress and the Emperor brother and sister? Why...... The Emperor's ...... That's not

Their...... Father? This and this...... Father and daughter ......" Chu instantaneously dizzy.

"You must know that there is no shortage of ethical confusion between father and daughter, mother and son in the history of the Yanfu royal family, don't make a fuss. The other party said lazily

But why...... The emperor wants to cuckold his children?"

"Because the emperor favored the current Emperor Yanfu the most, this emperor was born without light, but this is not lacking in the emperor's love for him, you must know that the emperor succeeded to the throne ten years ago, the emperor was still alive at that time, and there was a royal massacre in Yanfu that shocked the whole country!"

"Tu ...... Kill?" Chu was stunned.

"Yes, Emperor Yan Yu had five children, four sons, two children, among which the current emperor and empress are twins, although the youngest child is blind, but he is the smartest of the five children, I think you have also heard the poem "Only Me", it was written by this prince. ”

"I Alone Can Love My Feet"

"Then there is no end, as the times are urging. ”

"Ask him where he is going, and he will be in front of him. ”

"And hesitating to do everything......"

"That's right, it's this poem, the emperor wanted to pass the position to this favorite child, but his three brothers deliberately rebelled, trying to kill their father and seize power, and the emperor knew, Yan Fu people said in private that they were debauched, but on the surface of the rules and regulations are much more serious than us, the emperor was worried that his brother would be unfavorable to him after giving the position to this young son, so he privately wrote a will and gave Yan Fu's jade seal to the younger son, and sure enough, that night his eldest son gathered his henchmen to kill his father in front of the palace, and finally the emperor killed three thousand forbidden troops with one force, and was killed together with the three princes。 ”

"How can this be......" Chu Xianzhao looked at her blankly, and the two were silent for a while before Hua Youyue continued: "After that little son ascended the throne of Yan Fu, the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to throw the bodies of the three brothers and their henchmen in the Baiyu River, causing the broken arms and stumps floating everywhere in the river at that time, and the fishermen could find human bones in the fish, so that the fishermen did not dare to go down to the river to fish for several months!"

"The emperor married his sister as the queen not long after he ascended the throne, it was March of the first year of Yan Xiangji, but the princess was born in October, do you tell me whose woman can give birth to a child in July?"

"Could it be that the emperor was with his sister before...... Or one of those three brothers?"

Hua Youyue shook her head: "I think a blind man will not understand these things no matter how smart he is, and these two brothers and sisters have always lived together, only the first emperor can enter outside their bedroom, even those princes do not have the right to come and go at will, and there is such a beautiful princess, any wind and grass will cause a huge turmoil, the first emperor is probably worried that his youngest son does not have the ability to reproduce royal offspring, so he got involved with his daughter."

Actually, it's good to do your job. ”

"I really don't understand this family. Chu Xianzhao heard a strong conspiracy from it.

"Although the emperor is a blind man, but do not lose any normal person to do things, the battle of Yunjian River was one of his handiwork, although he lost in the end, but this comeback is not his intention, and the participation of Tantai Ninghua in it, the Shuyue spearmen are unparalleled in the world, and the corpses are everywhere they go, and now the soldiers of the Shuyue Empress have been taken away, and the two countries are fought with the power of one country, I have to say that this is the biggest challenge I have ever encountered. Hua Youyue smiled slightly: "Tantai Ninghua wants to become the king of Shuyue, Chai Longxiang wants to recapture Jingnan City and attack Yinguo directly, although these two are allies, but they all have their own ghosts, whether our Yinguo Iron Cavalry can trample iron hooves on their territory is still unknown, this war has not yet started Some people have died, and some people are better than dead, and we must be good people who live." ”

Chu Xianzhao looked into her eyes and didn't understand the meaning of the woman's words.

"How long will it take for us to get to the Cloud Sword River?" he asked.

"It's coming, there's less than a day to go. She looked out the window at the mountains and forests and said without thinking.

"Are you sure?" he was a little surprised and took off the scrolled map on his waist, the entire army set off according to Hua Youyue's instructions, from the moment they left the Imperial South Pass, they entered the Heavenly Soul Mountain and meandered forward, they had been walking for many days, since they walked into this mountain, Chu Xianzhao had always felt that they were going around in circles, always giving him a feeling of being lost.

"Li Changyuan and I used to pick up firewood here, and he was also hunting a deer at that time, so we peeled the deer skin and boiled it to eat, which was the best venison I have ever tasted. She turned her head to look at Chu Xuanzhao, and the meaning of memory appeared in her eyes: "It's a pity that Li Changyuan died, died under the Great Red City Gate, if I could have woken up from the control of the Phoenix Qin at that time, maybe he wouldn't have died." ”

"You were in the Battle of the West...... Did you really kill more than 10,000 people?" Chu Xuanzhao finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Yes, 10,000 soldiers from the West plus 5,000 soldiers from the Yin Kingdom, those soldiers closest to me are dead, their brains are shattered into paste by the sound of the phoenix qin, and from then on people will call me the female devil or the female rakshasa, so are you afraid of me?" she said softly.

Chu Xianzhao's heart moved slightly, she seemed to be joking, the two were silent for a long time, and finally Hua Youyue spoke: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you and I are both armed with divine weapons, there is a connection between us, I have felt it since you returned from the west that day." ”

"We are the same...... They saw us and chose us, and there was no way around it. She reached out and touched Chu Xianzhao's face and hugged him.

Chu Xianzhao looked at the woman's black hair blankly, for some reason, he could feel great sadness from the woman's words.

"You can sleep for a while, and I'll leave the rest to me, and I'll wake you up when you get to Yunjian River." With that, she put the boy's head on her lap, Chu Xianzhao slowly closed his eyes, and the scent of cloves and roses came from under his nose.
