I don't know how long it took, but the crane in the cloud woke up.

He seemed to be in a coma for a long time, and his whole body was on the verge of death.

Back and forth, I don't know how many times.

Eventually, that glimmer of life gradually recovered.

But the whole body is still completely unconscious, and it seems that there is only a brain in the whole body.

He's still alive? Where is this?

At this time, he couldn't see or hear at all, he just felt that he was still alive, and his whole body was as if it were not his.

This feeling lasted for a long time.

Gradually, the sensation in his whole body revived.

I still can't see at all, but I can feel my surroundings and hear them.

There was a man who was constantly saving him, using all kinds of methods to save him.

Every day, he was fed a lot of medicines in his body, he was given acupuncture every day, and every day there was something similar to an internal force that penetrated his muscles and veins.

And so it went on for a while.

His tendons, veins, and blood vessels began to recover little by little.

Finally, one day, he opened his eyes.

This...... Is this paradise?

The crane in the clouds was stunned, there was such a beautiful scenery?

He lay in a grass hut, surrounded by turquoise water, in the midst of a lake.

This is the most beautiful lake that Yunzhong Crane has ever seen, exactly like a complete piece of jade, flowing liquid jade.

At the end of the lake, there are mountain peaks, very, very high peaks, and only part of the peaks can be seen from the perspective of the crane in the clouds.

This part of the mountain peak, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the flowers are full of flowers, and they are beautiful.

After coming to this world, the crane in the clouds has never seen such a beautiful place.

That's all he could see, because he couldn't move, and he could only roll his eyes.

Immediately after, he saw a man approaching.

An old man, with crane hair and a childish face, his hair and beard were all white, but his face was still smooth and red, making it impossible to tell his age at all.

And it is completely impossible to see the level of this person's martial arts, and such a person is usually extremely high in martial arts.

"Lord Crane in the clouds, you have finally woken up, and I have done my best to pull you back from hell. The old man said.

The crane in the cloud wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it at all, and his mouth couldn't move.

What happened? What happened after he jumped off the abyss?

I really don't remember it at all, it seems like it's a blank slate.

But the Great Win Emperor's martial arts are so high, even if the crane in the cloud jumps into the abyss, it should be difficult to escape his clutches.

Why did he escape?

Where is this? Why is he here? Who is this old man in front of him?

"This is Rosemary Valley, my name is Xiaoyaozi, and as for why you're here? To be honest, I don't know why, one day you suddenly rose from the bottom of this lake, without breathing, without heartbeat. The old man said: "We have exhausted all the medicines and all the means to finally save you." ”

The crane in the clouds was suddenly even more stunned, this turned out to be Rosemary Valley?

He'd been to Rosemary Valley a few times, but he had never been in, and had always been in a dark cavern.

But he knew that passing through the cave into a valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains was the real Rosemary Valley.

The place where he is now is part of the Rosemary Valley. This fairyland-like emerald lake, with flower-filled peaks in the distance, is all part of the Rosemary Valley.

It's snowy outside, but why is it so rippling and full of green trees?

At that time, the crane in the clouds was far away in the depths of the desert, falling into the abyss, how could it be here? And it came out of the middle of this lake?

Of course, the crane in the clouds knows that there are dark rivers in the depths of some deserts, and these dark river water systems extend in all directions.

But that pyramid desert area, it should be far away from here, could it be that the crane in the clouds has drifted along the dark river to the Rosemary Valley?

It's not that coincidental, is it? Underground dark river, will it be so long?

But he really has no memory in his mind, and he can't remember everything after falling into the abyss.

But these things aside, the crane in the cloud has too many questions to ask, too many things to know.

What happened to his father? What happened to Yuan Tianxie? What happened to the situation outside?

The most important thing is, what happened to the Great Xia Empire?

The Great Salty Demon Country, has it completely ruled the world?

"Mr. Crane in the clouds, I know you have a lot of questions. Xiaoyaozi said: "First of all, regarding Ling Zun Ao Xin and others, as well as your family, we have no whereabouts at present. ”

"The second thing, the great battle in the Desert Pyramids, I don't know what happened, because no one came to report, and none of the sixteen masters we sent survived. ”

"The third thing is that all the rebellions in the Great Zhou Empire have stopped. The original southern capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty protected Zhou Long and joined Shi Bian, raised 400,000 troops, and went north to attack the Great Zhou Empire, trying to subdue the homeland. But the rebellion lasted less than a month, and Shi Bian surrendered to win the empire and betrayed Zhou Long. So now the entire territory of the Great Zhou Empire has been occupied by Da Ying. ”

Shi Bian's divine operation is not surprising at all, and even Yun Zhonghe feels that Shi Bian and Zhou Long's rebellion against Da Ying is a conspiracy, and when Da Zhou perishes, Shi Bian may have been loyal to the Da Ying Emperor, or even earlier.

"The fourth thing, the prince of the Great Western Empire, Li Xuan, led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the western border of the Great Zhou, and fought with the ** team of the Great Winning Emperor, and suffered a crushing defeat. Now hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Win Empire have entered the territory of the Great Western Empire, plundering thousands of miles of land and being invincible. ”

"The fifth thing is that the Great Win Empire and the Great Xia Empire did not go to war! The million-strong army of the Great Xia Empire did not cross the river to the south, but the two countries signed a peace agreement. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yun Zhonghe breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was shocked.

What the hell is going on?

Although he kept saying to Li Tai'a that the Great Xia Empire must not cross the river to the south, it would fall into the trap of the Great Win Empire.

But he couldn't stop it, the fleet of the Great Xia Empire and the million-strong army had already been assembled, and it was completely a posture that had to be sent on the bow.

Now there is no war, and there is a peace pact with the Big Win Empire?

This...... What the hell is this? It's very strange.

"The sixth thing, the Emperor of the Great Win Empire has not been exposed until now, and he has not used any warriors from the Great Salty Demon Kingdom in this war, and he has not shown any clues. ”

The crane in the cloud is smacking his tongue in his heart.

According to Yun Zhonghe's estimate, this time in the big battle with the Great Western Empire and the rebels in the south, no matter how you say it, you will use the warriors of the Great Xian Demon Country, but I didn't expect it to be useless.

Now that he is invincible in the world, is it still necessary to hide? Is it still necessary to put on the cloak of oriental civilization?

"But he's started blocking our intelligence channels in Rosemary Valley, so a lot of things, we don't know anything about. Xiaoyaozi said: "We don't know why he didn't use the warriors of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, we don't know what he wants to do." ”

"Now the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Win Empire are constantly marching westward to attack the Great Western Empire, and they are constantly winning, and the good news is frequent, which has brought great reputation to the emperor of the Great Win Empire, and has obtained countless cattle and sheep. In the eyes of the world, the Great Western Empire is not a real Eastern Empire, and it has been plundering the East before, so this war is regarded as a just war. Not only did the people of the Great Win Empire support the war against the Great Western Empire, but the people of the Great Zhou Empire were also very supportive. ”

"After the occupation of the Southern Zhou Dynasty by the Great Winning Empire, the people's morale is recovering, and this autumn grain harvest is bumper, and the famine has been resolved. The Great Win Imperial Court has successively dispatched officials to take over the provinces and counties of the Great Zhou, and the efficiency and integrity of these officials far exceed the previous Great Zhou Empire, and the land of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty has been remeasured and the land has been redistributed, so now the people of the Great Zhou are living a better life than before, and the Great Win Emperor has won the hearts of the people. ”

"On this side of the desert, the Great Win Empire has revealed its terrifying true colors and used the warriors of the Great Salt Demon Country. But in the hearts of countless people in the Great Win Empire, the Great Zhou Empire, and even the Great Xia Empire, the Great Win Emperor is still the wise and martial Emperor of the East, the light of civilization. Not to mention that his identity as the king of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom has not been revealed, even if someone says that he is the dark king of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom, hundreds of millions of people will not believe it. ”

"Here's all the information that is known now, you can take care of your injuries. ”

In the following time, this Xiaoyaozi still treated the crane in the clouds every day.

The body of the crane in the clouds also recovered little by little.

....................................

On this day, although the crane in the cloud still couldn't get out of bed, he was already conscious, and at least he could turn over, his hands and feet could move, and he could speak.

"The Great Win Emperor and the White Cloud City Lord will have a competition every ten years, and whoever wins will be the king of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom. But the previous twenty years were evenly matched, so the Great Zhou Empire became a chessboard for the two dark kings, and the two sides fought without breaking. The crane in the cloud said: "But this time the competition will definitely determine the winner and loser, and the emperor will win." At that time, the entire Baiyun City will bow down to him, and he will become the true emperor of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, and at that time, the end of the entire world will really come. ”

Xiaoyaozi nodded.

Yun Zhonghe asked, "Then the competition between the Great Win Emperor and the White Cloud City Lord has begun?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "It shouldn't be yet." ”

The crane in the clouds said, "When will it start?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "I don't know. ”

Then Xiaoyaozi said: "The Great Win Empire and the Great Xia Empire are separated by the Tianjiang River, this is the largest river in the world, if you want to attack the Great Xia Empire, you must have a strong sailor." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "So before getting the allegiance of Baiyun City, the Great Win Emperor should not be able to make a northern expedition to the Great Xia Empire." And once he gets the allegiance of Baiyun City, then he has the strongest fleet in the world, and at that time, it will be the beginning of the destruction of the Great Xia Empire. ”

Xiaoyaozi said: "So you still have time, but time is running out." ”

And at this moment, a white falcon fell from the sky and landed on Xiaoyaozi's arm.

He took the secret letter from the falcon's feet, opened it, and said, "Crane in the clouds, you must go." We wanted you to leave after you've healed, but we can't wait. ”

The crane in the clouds said: "Why?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "We have to carry out a great migration in Rosemary Valley, otherwise we will face a catastrophe." ”

Obviously, the forces of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom are going to take action against Rosemary Valley.

Xiaoyaozi said: "Crane in the clouds, our time is running out, once the Great Win Emperor gets the full allegiance of Baiyun City, it will be the real invincibility of the world, that is the real doomsday." But we are not hopeless, and this hope may be in the Great Xia Empire, which is the Celestial Empire after all, after all, it has inherited the inheritance of the largest number of Great Yan Imperial Families. ”

The crane in the cloud said: "What do you mean?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "Back then, Emperor Fu swept the world, and the Great Xian Demon Kingdom almost ruled the entire world. However, all of a sudden, the Angry Emperor died violently, and the Great Xian Demon Land collapsed. Although there is no record, there should be a secret in it, a secret that no one knows. ”

Yun Zhonghe was also curious about this, how powerful was the Emperor Nu back then, how powerful was the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, and why did it fall so quickly?

Xiaoyaozi said: "After the destruction of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, the Great Xia Empire quickly rose. Therefore, we Rosemary Valley deduced that the secret of the violent death of Emperor Nu and the destruction of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom at that time was probably in the hands of the Great Xia Empire. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Then why has the Great Xia Empire never been able to unify the world?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "The Great Xia Empire has had several opportunities to unify the world, but all of them have been suddenly interrupted, and the hegemony of Emperor Taizu of Great Xia to unify the world has just been completed halfway, and it has suddenly disappeared. ”

Then Xiaoyaozi said: "Put these aside for the time being, if the Great Xia Empire really has a secret to deal with the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, then it must be in the hands of the emperors of all dynasties, and only those who inherit the throne are qualified to know this secret." Of course, even if there is no such secret, if you want to stop the Great Xian Demon Kingdom from ruling the world, the only hope is in the Great Xia Empire. It has the largest population, the deepest heritage, and the strongest national strength. If you want to turn the tide, you must seize the throne of the Great Xia Empire in the shortest possible time, and only then can you fight against the Great Win Emperor. ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "The leader who fought against the Great Xian Demon Kingdom back then was not the ancestor of the emperor of the Great Xia Empire?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "Yes." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "This time, the Great Win Empire did not attack Great Xia, but signed a peace agreement?"

Xiaoyaozi said: "Yes." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "In this way, the Great Xia Empire may really have mastered the key secret of destroying the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, so the Emperor of the Great Win Empire still has a trace of jealousy towards the Great Xia Emperor." ”

And at this time, another black falcon fell from the sky.

Xiaoyaozi took the secret letter from its feet, unfolded it, and his face changed drastically.

"It's too late, we're going to have you transferred now. Xiaoyaozi said: "Crane in the clouds, you still have a chance to choose now, whether to completely escape overseas, everything in the Eastern World has nothing to do with you, or to fight against the Great Xian Demon Kingdom to the end?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "Of course, it is to fight to the end." ”

Xiaoyaozi said: "Okay, we will send you away now and send you to the Great Xia Empire secretly." ”

It seems that the situation is already urgent, and the forces of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom to attack Rosemary Valley are very close.

Xiaoyaozi took out a pill and said, "It's almost thousands of miles away from here to the capital of the Great Xia Empire, and the bumpy road is very bad for you, so we need to put you to sleep." ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Okay." ”

Then, he took the pill and swallowed it.

After a few moments, he felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and then he fell asleep.

At the same time, the flames in the Rosemary Valley burned.

Obviously, this is Rosemary Valley is destroying some things that cannot be taken away, because Rosemary Valley has too many achievements and secrets about life research, and it must not fall into the hands of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom.

..........................................

I don't know how long it took, but when the crane woke up again, it was already in a carriage.

Next to him is the great master of the literary world, Li Tai'a, who was once the crown prince of the Great Xia Empire.

A whole few thousand samurai, escorting the carriage.

Seeing the crane in the clouds wake up, Li Tai'a knelt down and said, "Minister, see Your Highness." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "Great Grandmaster, where have we been?"

Li Tai'a said: "Your Royal Highness, we are about to arrive in Xiajing, we are going home soon, and we are about to see His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Li Tai'a was extremely excited, he dreamed of bringing the young monarch back to the capital and to the old emperor, and now he finally got his wish.

"Since I learned the whereabouts of His Highness, His Majesty the Emperor has been talking about you every day, I don't know how many times I have woken up from a dream, and I have called your name, and now I know that you have gone home, His Majesty the Emperor does not know how happy he is. Mrs. Li said: "The grandson he has been looking forward to day and night has finally returned." ”

The crane in the clouds said, "Great Grandmaster, what's wrong with Rosemary Valley?"

Mrs. Li said: "I don't know, there is no news coming, Rosemary Valley is already very mysterious, and there is no communication with the outside world." ”

The crane in the cloud said: "Does Emperor Yongqi know that I am coming back?"

Mrs. Li said: "Of course I know, after learning the news that you are coming back, he is very happy, he has eaten a few more bowls of rice, and the whole person is much more energetic. And immediately sent Ouchi samurai to greet His Highness. ”

Because he had been unconscious, the crane in the clouds didn't know how the people from Rosemary Valley sent him to the Great Xia Empire.

Then, Mrs. Li said: "Your Highness, the tragedy of thirty years ago is heart-wrenching, and His Majesty the Emperor also knows that he has fallen for someone else's poisonous scheme, and he is heart-wrenching in remorse. And after all, he is old, after His Royal Highness sees him, try not to mention that tragic incident, lest His Majesty the Emperor be overly sad, and he will make up for your previous regrets, whether you can inherit the throne or not depends entirely on the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Only when you inherit the throne can you fulfill your ambitions. ”

And at this moment, the speed of the carriage slowed down.

Li Tai'a lifted the curtain, looked outside, and then said, "Your Highness, we have arrived, we have gone home." ”

The crane in the cloud looked up and looked outside, and was immediately shocked.

In the world, there is such a magnificent and huge city?

The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the capital of the Great Win Empire are already huge enough to shock.

But compared to the capital of the Great Xia Empire in front of him, there is still a big gap.

The capital of Daxia is the real first city in the world and the first capital in the world.

Magnificent, gorgeous, majestic, solemn, prosperous.

The magnanimity that the capital of the Great Zhou City does not have, the capital of the Great Xia has it. The luxury that the big win capital does not have, the Great Xia capital also has it.

Despite the recent drastic changes in the world and the destruction of the Great Zhou, the Great Win army entered the Great Western Empire and won a hundred battles, and the Great Win Emperor became the man of the year in the world.

But the entire Great Xia Empire is still prosperous. Especially in the capital of Daxia, the flowers are full of flowers and prosperous.

The people of the entire Great Xia Empire were still full of the superiority of the Celestial Empire.

The walls are so high, so long, so magnificent, that they are completely out of reach.

The moats were tens of meters wide, and the troops on the walls were densely packed and heavily armed.

Whether it is looking at people or buildings, it is a scene of the heavenly kingdom.

Seeing this scene, the crane in the cloud couldn't help but feel a little more confident in his heart.

The Great Win Emperor is extremely martial arts, but he can't wipe out an army by himself. Although the samurai of the Great Salty Demon Kingdom are powerful, their number is limited after all.

The Great Xia Empire has the largest population and the strongest heritage, and once Yun Zhonghe becomes the emperor, he will be able to master astronomical resources and transform powerful armies.

At that time, he and the Emperor of Great Victory may not be able to fight.

Besides, Xiaoyaozi said that the Great Xia Emperor may have also mastered the secret of destroying the Great Xian Demon Kingdom back then.

This throne, he is determined to win.

When he was about to enter the capital, Li Tai'a said: "Your Highness, because you entered the capital secretly, when you enter the city, the city gate guards cannot kneel to you! At that time, you will become the noble of my Great Xia Empire. ”

In this way, the convoy of cranes in the clouds silently entered the capital of Great Xia.

There was no identity check, and no salute was made.

..............................

After entering the city, it shows the prosperity and magnificence of the entire Xia Jing.

The Suzaku Avenue in front of him shocked the crane in the clouds again. I've never seen such a straight, wide street.

It is a full 160 meters wide, which is wider than Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and it is all paved with stone slabs, and there is no end in sight.

In the middle of the wide Suzaku Avenue, it is almost empty, but the two sides are shoulder to shoulder, and the voices are boiling.

Because in the middle of this Suzaku Avenue, ordinary officials and ordinary people cannot walk.

The convoy of cranes in the clouds walked along Suzaku Avenue all the way for ten miles.

In front, there is the Suzaku Gate.

Inside the Suzaku Gate is the inner castle, which is also surrounded by huge walls.

After passing through the inner city, there is a golden city gate in front of you, and there is also a palace wall.

This is the Yanlong Gate, and behind the Yanlong Gate, is the Great Xia Palace.

The area of the Great Summer Palace is more than 7,000 acres, about five square kilometers, which is about five times the size of the Forbidden City.

The size of this imperial palace is twice that of the Great Win Empire, twice the size of the imperial palace of the Great Zhou Empire, and even larger than the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty.

No words can describe the majesty of this palace.

The king who lives in this palace is the true lord of all directions in the world.

This palace is the center of the whole world. Yun Zhonghe can now be sure that once the Great Win Emperor seizes the world, he will also move into this palace, and he will definitely not live in his Great Win Palace again.

When they came to the Yanlong Gate, the defenders at the head of the city immediately said, "Who is coming?"

Li Tai'a stepped out of the carriage, raised the gold medal in his hand, and said, "According to the emperor's secret order, bring people into the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

A moment later, the guards of the Great Xia Palace stepped forward to inspect the carriage.

When they saw the crane in the clouds, these internal guards, as well as an old eunuch, instinctively bent down, lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, but they did not shout out the identity of the crane in the clouds.

Because, after the crane in the clouds must meet the emperor, the emperor himself will issue an edict in order to obtain the status of the emperor's grandson.

After the inspection, an old eunuch said, "Mrs. Li, let's change the sedan chair." ”

Under normal circumstances, it is not good for the carriage to enter the palace directly, so it was replaced with a large sedan chair carried by sixteen people.

The crane in the clouds got out of the carriage and made it into the palanquin.

"Enter!" With the shout of the great eunuch, sixteen people carried a huge sedan chair and entered the Great Xia Palace.

"Flash!"

"Flash!"

Along the way, the big eunuch kept shouting, and all the eunuchs in front of him, the palace gate, all avoided it.

The rules of the heavenly kingdom are great.

The palace was huge, and after entering the palace, it was still almost a quarter of an hour's walk.

Finally, stopped in front of a splendid palace.

This palace is built on dozens of steps, as tall as a mountain, and it does not resemble the palace of the Forbidden City at all.

Outside the palace, thousands of warriors stood densely, the door of the palace was closed, and an old eunuch with white hair stood outside.

The great eunuch who led the way stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Ancestor, that little master is here." ”

Suddenly, this high-status old eunuch took a few steps forward, bent down slightly, and said, "The slave has seen the master." ”

Then, the old eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree to summon the master." ”

He didn't pronounce the name of the crane in the clouds, because in the eyes of the Great Xia Emperor, the name of the crane in the clouds was no longer worthy.

The sedan chair carried by sixteen people was slowly lowered, and a big eunuch stepped forward and gently helped the crane in the clouds up.

This great eunuch's martial arts are very high, and his strength is great and steady when he supports the crane in the clouds, and the crane in the clouds almost does not need to exert himself force, and he can stand and move forward lightly.

The door to the main hall opens.

The old eunuch stepped forward and said, "Master, go in." ”

The crane in the cloud glanced at Li Tai'a.

Mrs. Li said: "Your Highness, you can go in alone, and the emperor wants to see you alone." ”

Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath, a little nervous.

He is about to meet the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire, at least until now, he is still the first emperor in the world.

And by blood, he is the grandfather of the crane in the clouds.

The crane in the cloud walked into this hall, and the old eunuch stepped forward and carefully closed the door of the hall.

This hall is really made of gold bricks, at least one layer of gold on the surface.

The crane in the clouds entered the main hall and bowed down and said, "Crane in the clouds, meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia." ”

....................................

Note: These chapters were too difficult to write, and I wrote them all night until nine o'clock in the morning, and I was tired and collapsed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I really need your monthly pass incentives, and if so, can you give it to me?
