Chapter 117: The Birds Are Gone, and the Good Bow is Hidden (I)
In the early morning, in the southern city of Yuanhe City, the people of Yuanhe City, who got up early to gather in the market, witnessed the scene like purgatory on earth next to the gate of Nancheng.
Not long after, the city lord of Yuanhe City came to Nancheng with many soldiers with an ugly face. Looking at the corpses everywhere, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, you know, it was a war king who was guarding Nancheng last night, and this war king didn't even have a chance to ring the alarm bell! He shouted: "What the hell is going on! Where did this group of people come from! I need an explanation!"
The staff next to the city lord of Yuanhe City said: "Lord of the city, according to what the villain can see, these people must have fled to the south, so we might as well send pursuers to chase and kill first, and then ask for support from the national capital." ”
The City Lord of Yuanhe City frowned and said, "Even the War King was easily dealt with by them, then I'm afraid there are at least two War Kings in their team." After pondering for a moment, he said, "Okay, you go and transfer all the defenders in the city and go forward to pursue them together, these guys are not fuel-efficient lamps." You then have to send someone to issue a wanted warrant, and if you find any clues about the Apocalypse, you will be rewarded, and you must inform the other cities so that they must be careful. ”
The staff member nodded, and turned to leave.
In the distance, at this moment, the group of people in the camp had escaped from Yuanhe City for dozens of miles, everyone was panting and sitting by a stream, Zhou Neng raised his head and drank the water he had just obtained in this stream, and said, "Are we going from the city, or from outside the city?"
Mo Yuhan looked down at the clothes on his body, and said: "Yun Kunguo's side shouldn't know our appearance, and we all killed all the people in the southern city of Yuanhe City last night, so we don't need to be so bitter about ourselves, why don't we just go from the city, it just so happens that we haven't seen much of the customs of the southern country?"
Everyone laughed, they never imagined that the road to escape, which they had imagined would go through a lot of hardships, would become so leisurely.
In the imperial city of Yunkun Kingdom, Cao Yuan sat on the top of the main hall, kneeling down to worship a group of ministers of Yunkun Kingdom, Cao Yuan smiled and said: "General Zhu has the first merit in this battle! Come! I salute General Zhu with a cup! If General Zhu has anything he wants this time, just mention it to me!"
Zhu Yancheng was ashamed and said: "How dare you be, Your Majesty, this time I didn't succeed in breaking through the Yuexi defense line, it was really a mistake of the last general, and I was not in a hurry to ask for punishment, how could I dare to ask Your Majesty for a reward?"
Cao Yuan laughed and said, "Hahahaha! Why did General Zhu say this! Although we did not break through the border defense of Yuexi Country this time, we have already eliminated a major disaster! As soon as Lin Ying died, Apocalypse City would not have to be afraid! Tell me, General Zhu had anything to want, just say it!" Cao Yuan looked at Zhu Yancheng's eyes and a glimmer of light flashed.
Zhu Yancheng looked at Cao Yuan's eyes, and he also understood, and knelt down and thanked: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is something that has not been mentioned to Your Majesty at the end. ”
Cao Yuanmian looked at Zhu Yancheng in surprise and asked, "Oh, what is there that General Zhu hasn't told me yet?" ”
Zhu Yancheng looked at Cao Yuan, who seemed to be like a human spirit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Cao Yuan has been smart since he was a child, and his acting skills are also superior, the competition for the throne of Yunkun has always been fierce, and this Cao Yuan's background is just inferior among many princes, but this Cao Yuan really sat on the throne with his own ability, and killed his brother cleanly. Although it seemed that Cao Yuan was just a young emperor in his early twenties, Zhu Yancheng did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest, after all, Cao Yuan's scheming city was unfathomable.
Just like this time, the sect master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Zhu Yancheng, avoided it, how could he get acquainted with him? The help of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was actually brought to him by Cao Yuan, and the comeback of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was also fueled by Cao Yuan, after all, without the support of a strong backstage, how could this Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which was spurned by ten thousand people, dare to appear in front of the eyes of the world again?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Yancheng said: "Your Majesty, in fact, in this battle, the person who made the first contribution should be the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the main hall was in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't believe that there was actually an intervention from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
Cao Yuan had an interesting look on his face and said, "Oh, so General Zhu actually invited out the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect that should have been destroyed a long time ago in this great battle?"
The corners of Zhu Yancheng's mouth twitched, this Cao Yuan obviously wanted to throw the pot of the comeback of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect to himself! But helplessly, Zhu Yancheng still stubbornly said: "That's right, Your Majesty, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is invited out of the mountain." ”
Cao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "In that case, presumably General Zhu is going to ask for credit for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"
Zhu Yancheng nodded and said, "The minister has the courage to ask His Majesty for credit for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"
Cao Yuan said: "What is General Zhu asking for?"
Zhu Yancheng said: "A dragon egg! Ask Yun Kunguo to help the Ten Thousand Poison Sect make a comeback!"
At this moment, there was a sudden voice of criticism from the main hall, all of them reprimanded Zhu Yancheng, how dare he ask for the help of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and even ask for merit for the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Zhu Yancheng glanced at everyone and said nothing.
Cao Yuan sat on the throne, slowly drank the last sip of wine in the cup, and said, "For such a trivial matter, why do you need General Zhu to ask for credit! Come! Bring me the dragon egg that has been treasured in the palace for many years!"
All the ministers looked at Cao Yuan in amazement, and one of the ministers stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has the courage to admonish Your Majesty! This Ten Thousand Poisons Sect was fought by the Three Kingdoms a hundred years ago! Although the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has helped us a lot this time, if the Yun Kun Kingdom really helps the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect to make a comeback, I am afraid that it will be confronted by the combined efforts of the Yuexi Kingdom and the Wind and Snow Empire!"
Cao Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, if we don't help the Ten Thousand Poison Sect come back, won't we be confronted by the Yuexi Kingdom and the Wind and Snow Empire? What's more, my Yunkun Kingdom has always adhered to the principle that if there is kindness, there will be revenge, and if there is revenge, what will the people of the world think?"
The minister said: "But, Your Majesty! If the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect really comes back with the help of Yun Kun Kingdom, I am afraid that the people of Yun Kun Kingdom will be scattered! Your Majesty! Think twice!"
Cao Yuan was furious, stood up and shouted: "You courtier, you dare to stir up the hearts of the people! Tell right and wrong! Someone! Drag me down and behead!"
As soon as the words fell, two sword and axe men stepped forward quickly, grabbed the old minister's left and right arms, clicked on his acupuncture points, and dragged him out. The old minister shouted while being dragged along: "Your Majesty! Think twice! Think twice! Your Majesty!
Zhu Yancheng lowered his eyes slightly, and sighed in his heart: "Elder Yang, why do you bother? I am afraid that Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart about this matter, and I am just adding fuel to the fire here." ”
Cao Yuan sat back on his throne and said, "I don't know, do Zhong Aiqing still have objections now?"
Everyone was silent, Cao Yuan glanced at the hall, and said, "Today is a day of great joy, I don't want unpleasant things to happen again! General Zhu, I will drink this glass of wine first!"
Zhu Yancheng also quickly stood up, took the wine given to him by Cao Yuan, and drank it with his head up. But it missed the coldness that flashed in Cao Yuan's eyes.
Cao Yuan said: "I am tired from this war, I think General Zhu should also be a little tired, today's feast, I will not send it, General Zhu should go home early to rest." ”
Zhu Yancheng raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, he didn't expect that this Cao Yuan would give him an eviction order, and he didn't say anything, hugged his fists, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, the last general will retire first!"
Zhu Yancheng hurried back to his home, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, in front of Cao Yuan, he would always be a little nervous, and Cao Yuan still gave him great oppression. When a beautiful woman saw Zhu Yancheng going home, she stepped forward and said, "Why did my husband come back so early today? But you're tired? Do you want me to cook some food for my husband?"
Zhu Yancheng stroked her hair and said, "Madame doesn't have to work so hard, His Majesty is sympathetic to me today and orders me to come back early." ”
The beautiful woman did lean into his arms, looked up at his eyebrows, and just nodded, after so many years of husband and wife, she could naturally see that Zhu Yancheng was hiding his thoughts, he didn't say it, she didn't ask, they have always been so respectful to each other.
