Chapter 2 Chapter 44 The Western Chu Empire
The Chu Empire, the first great country in the temple, has strong strength and a long history, and it is definitely one of the earliest ancient kingdoms established on this land!
In the history of the temple states, the two most powerful countries, the Jinling State and the Chu Empire, had variables, suffered a great loss in strength, and lost their status as the first country.
Needless to say, the Chu Empire was fine, but it was split and evolved into the Eastern Chu and Western Chu empires.
Even if it is divided into two, it still maintains the status of the empire, which shows the strength of the Chu Empire, if it is merged, the Yan Empire will be surpassed!
Western Chu Empire, ancient imperial palace.
Emperor of Western Chu, Chu Yuan!
Emperor Chuyuan of Western Chu, Feng Xiaoyi has seen it, it was he who took Leng Yu and other bloody guards to Jinling Country back then.
In front of the gate of the Western Chu Imperial City today, the solemn guards saw a young man under the cover of a black robe.
"Who?"
The guard in front of the city gate was a battle-hardened Predator, with a straight waist and a majestic face, and the strange costume of the young man did not make him pay much attention to it.
This is the Imperial City of Western Chu, and no guy who doesn't have long eyes dares to make trouble, so they don't pay much attention to Feng Xiaoyi's unusual dress.
In the imperial capital of Western Chu, people can be allowed to enter and exit freely in the outer city, but as the imperial city of the inner city, it is an important place in the empire, and idle people are not allowed to approach.
The imperial city can't be entered, let alone the Western Chu Palace inside, if Feng Xiaoyi wants to see Chu Yuan, he can only bother the guards to report.
"Looking for Emperor Chu of our country?"
When he explained his intentions, the two guards turned straight and said, "Is there an edict from Emperor Chu, or other tokens?" ”
Chu Yuan has a noble status, not ordinary people can see him if they want to, he is not an invited guest, and the imperial city guards will not let him go.
"Nope." Feng Xiaoyi is in trouble.
Hearing this, the guard said resolutely, "I'm sorry, you can't go in, please leave here." ”
It won't work to break through, Feng Xiaoyi doesn't even show his face and name, the purpose is to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to himself and the Western Chu Empire.
"Can you tell me, I have something important to do with Emperor Xichu, so I told him that it was a friend of the Bloody Guards who came to him ten years ago."
"Talk to him, and he will understand, if not, I will leave." After thinking for a while, Feng Xiaoyi could only say this.
"Something to do with the Bloody Guard?"
The two guards hesitated, the Bloodcoat Guards were very important in their empire, and it might be a big deal to have anything to do with them.
"Yes, please wait here, I'll let you know."
After thinking about it for half a minute, the two guards agreed to him.
In the Western Chu Imperial Palace, a side hall, the Emperor of Western Chu Chu Yuan and a middle-aged man were discussing important matters, this person was his younger brother Chu Kui, a member of the royal family of Chu State.
"Is everyone arranged?"
"Second brother, don't worry, our juniors of the Chu clan have all been arranged to the place you designated, and I will handle this matter personally, and no outsider will know."
"That's good, we have to be prepared with both hands, the Chu family's lineage, if it is defeated, it must not be broken, and the future will be long, they are the hope of reviving my Chu Empire."
The sound of the two talking quietly sounded in the side hall.
"The war is ruthless, and the empire's 10,000-year hegemony may be destroyed in one fell swoop, and it makes people shudder to think about it." Chu Kui said in shock.
"Are you scared?" Chu Yuan said in a low voice.
Chu Kui sighed: "It's not that I'm afraid, but... Rather, I don't want the empire to fall forever. ”
"As a member of the Empire, no one wants this kind of thing, but..."
Chu Yuan said solemnly: "Chu Kui, you have to remember that our Chu clan is not subservient to the blood of others, no matter who it is, don't want to be above us forever!" ”
Chu Kui wanted to stop talking, he understood this truth, but... It's just that maybe he's too worried to let go.
Chu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Freedom comes at a price, some things, whether they exist or not doesn't matter in terms of survival, but for being a human being, many people can sacrifice their lives for it." ”
"Second brother, in this regard, I am far inferior to you." Chu Kui said.
Chu Yuan said: "Everyone has their own strengths, and the second brother can still hold some positions in the management of the empire's business, but in the martial arts, you are far better than the second brother, and your heart to pursue martial arts is unmatched in my country!" ”
"You are the youngest Yuanzun realm in the history of my Chu Empire, the ancestors have all said, you have excellent qualifications, it is a matter of time before you surpass him, if we are defeated, the empire will rely on you in the future."
"Actually, I don't want to leave, stay and help you." Chu Kui said.
"You have a greater responsibility, leave the temple countries with the fresh blood of my country, and protect them to grow up, this is the secret of our Chu Empire, only you can bear it." Chu Yuan comforted.
The Chu Empire prepared with two hands, one hand was Chu Kui to lead people away, and the other hand was, in case it could not be resisted, he would lead people to retreat into Jinling State.
The fate of the empire is in his own hands, there are no outsiders who absolutely trust, Mo blindly puts the bet on others, this is the idea proposed by Chu Yuan.
Even if he is at the end of his rope, he is not a helpless person.
"Someone's coming."
While the two were talking, outside the side hall, a palace guard approached.
Chu Yuan flicked his sleeves, the door of the side hall was opened, and in his sight, a guard entered, and when people came to the door, he asked lightly: "What is the matter here?" ”
"I've seen King Kui, Emperor Qichu, and the imperial city guards have come to report, saying that there is a person outside the city gate, claiming to be a friend of the bloody guards ten years ago, please ask for instructions to see you." The guard got down on one knee in front of the door.
"Who is it?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Emperor Chu, no! The Imperial City Guard said that the man had only said so much. The guard replied.
"No, let's go down." Chu Yuan said.
"Yes!" The guards got up and retreated.
The conversation with Chu Kui came to an end, but it was not completely over, and Chu Yuan was unreasonable.
"Wait!"
Suddenly screamed, Chu Yuan's mind moved, as if he had thought of something, and his face changed imperceptibly.
"You go and spread the word and let the Imperial City guard tell him that I'll be there later." Chu Yuan changed his mind.
"Yes!" The guards were given the order and continued to retreat.
"What's wrong?" Chu Kui said.
"Maybe it's Leng Yu's friend."
After speaking, Chu Yuan said: "What the second brother told you, you have to remember, if there is anything else, let's talk about it later." ”
"For the sake of the empire, the second brother can rest assured, Brother Kui knows how to take care of the overall situation." Chu Kui said.
"That's good, the second brother will be out of company first." Chu Yuan nodded.
Separated from Chu Kui, Chu Yuan quietly walked out of the palace, came to the imperial city, and walked towards the city gate.
Ten years ago, the friend of the Bloody Guard, this is a hint, Chu Yuan suddenly thought of it just now.
Ten years ago or so, he took the bloody clothes guard to Jinling Kingdom, didn't he want to talk about Leng Yu's friend at that time?
Thinking of the incident in the imperial capital of Yan Kingdom that spread all over the world some time ago, Chu Yuan instantly thought of a person!
The wind is shy!
When he came to the gate of the imperial city, he saw a young man, the face showing under the black robe, which confirmed his suspicion.
"I've seen Emperor Chu!" Two guards saluted.
Chu Yuan walked over casually, his face expressionless, and said in a low voice: "Take a step to speak." ”
He took Feng Xiaoyi away and came to a remote no-man's corner.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
When he arrived here, there was no one around, and Chu Yuan let go of his heart.
"Emperor Chu Yuan, I'm sorry." Feng Xiaoyi said.
"You're alone?" Chu Yuan asked.
Feng Xiaoyi nodded.
"You are so bold, you dare to come to my Western Chu Empire at this time, you must have forgotten that this place also belongs to the territory of the temple." Chu Yuan said.
"Feng Xiaoyi is here for one person."
"Leng Yu!" Chu Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Feng Xiaoyi replied.
Chu Yuan was silent, and after a while, he said lightly: "What is the matter with you coming to Leng Yu?" ”
"I heard that he didn't have a good time here, because of our involvement back then." Feng Xiaoyi said.
"He is from my Western Chu Empire." Chu Yuan said coldly.
The implication is that this is a family affair of their Western Chu Empire, and idlers should not take care of it.
"But he's also my friend." Feng Xiaoyi replied.
"You understand very well that we deliberately let you go back then, that was what we meant, not something he could decide." Chu Yuan said.
"This love, Feng Xiaoyi remembers it in my heart."
After replying, Feng Xiaoyi continued: "Leng Yu regards Feng Xiaoyi as a friend, friends are in trouble, Feng Xiaoyi can't do it regardless of it, if you don't come, can you be at peace?" Emperor Chuyuan, can you let the two of you meet, and it is up to Leng Yu to decide whether to stay or not. ”
"You came to my Western Chu Empire to take people away?" Chu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed.
"If he is snubbed here, I think it's better to leave." Feng Xiaoyi said indifferently.
"Then do you know that he is a member of my Western Chu Empire, and his fate is decided by the empire!" Chu Yuan said word by word.
"I prefer to respect his choice." Feng Xiaoyi said.
"Then what if he wants to leave, and my Western Chu Empire won't let him?" Chu Yuan asked.
Pondering, Feng Xiaoyi replied: "I can't take him away today, but one day, Feng Xiaoyi can take him out of the Western Chu Empire openly." ”
Chu Yuan smiled majestically and said, "You are very sincere, you can say whatever you think in your heart, I like this very much." ”
"Leng Yu has a friend like you, I have to say that it is a blessing for him, and I am happy for him."
"Tribulation sees the truth, it is difficult to find a friend in life, go to him, outside the imperial capital, eight hundred miles southwest."
With a flick of his hand, a token of the Great General of the Western Chu Empire flew towards Feng Xiaoyi, Chu Yuan turned away, and his voice drifted with the wind.
After taking the token, two words came out of Feng Xiaoyi's mouth: "Thank you!" ”
Put away the token, put on the black robe, and Feng Xiaoyi quietly left.
At the gate of the imperial city, Chu Yuan returned, passing by here, he suddenly said: "You two come with me." ”
After transferring these two guards, Chu Yuan called two other people to replace them, and after that, the palace guard was also found by him.
With these three people, Chu Yuan came to a dimly lit hall.
Just when the three of them were confused, Chu Yuan suddenly asked, "Someone came to look for me today, except for the three of you, is there anyone else who knows?" ”
The two guards shook their heads, and the gates were guarded by the two of them, and no one else knew there.
"Emperor Yuchu, there were two people around him at that time, and they should have heard about it." The palace guards said truthfully.
"Very well, I'll go find them with you."
Soon, two more palace guards were found, and Feng Xiaoyi came to find him, and all the insiders were present.
In the main hall, Chu Yuan said: "Very good, you are all here, I just want to tell you and others, someone is looking for me today, I don't want anyone outside of us to know about it in the future!" ”
These five people were a little confused, they only knew that there was a person looking for their Emperor Chu today, and as for who that person was, they didn't know at all.
"I understand, Emperor Yan can rest assured, today's events will not be revealed." The five reassured.
"I'm talking about anyone, including future temple people." Chu Yuan added.
The five of them quietly looked at each other, and their hearts stirred, and then they said in unison: "We are loyal to the empire and will never disobey Emperor Chu!"
"That's it..."
muttering and whispering, suddenly, Chu Yuan's eyes showed a trace of cold killing intent, and the vague figure forced over.
As soon as the killing intent came out, the faces of the five people changed suddenly, but the next moment, before they could make any movement, they had turned into a dead body.
"But I think that only the dead will keep their mouths shut forever."
The corpse fell in response, and Chu Yuan appeared, with one palm, and blood dripping down his five fingers.
"You hesitated for a moment, so you died."
In the main hall, his cold voice sounded softly.
