For the Liufeng family, seventy-eighty-three years was an eventful and catastrophic year. In the late autumn of this year, after eight years of illness in the seventh generation of the Liufeng family, Liufeng Xishan, he finally failed to survive the ninth year, and he died.

It should be said that Liufeng Xishan is worthy of his heir. At the time of his death, he left his successor with an army of one million, an ample treasury, and a well-functioning political apparatus, and as long as the heir's intelligence was above average, the country would not be too bad.

Sadly, none of his three sons were among them. The eldest son, Liufeng Sen, is said to be able to play chess with gorillas on a par with each other. And his two younger brothers are not much better, Liu Fengqing can write his name correctly five times out of ten, and Liu Fengming doesn't need to wear a saliva mask at the age of twenty-five.

It's a nightmare that upends all theories in genetics, and scholars can't explain that such a wise father has three stupid sons, which is as incredible as a mother mouse giving birth to kittens.

Desperate, scholars can only hint: "On a stormy evening, the Lady of the Flowing Wind came home an hour later than usual—and this happened three times!" ”

This insoluble mystery is really the misfortune of the Liufeng family and the great luck of the Zichuan family. In order to choose an heir among the three brothers, Liufeng Xishan racked his brains, but these three living treasures are really "not the stupidest, only more stupid", and it was not until shortly before his death that he finally figured it out: "Since the three are generally stupid, in fact, everyone is the same." ”

He called his three sons: "Sons, you are all equally good, Daddy, for the sake of the long-term future of the Liufeng family, I have decided to use a simple and fair method to decide!" ”

What is this simple and fair approach?

That's the draw.

In the temple hall of the Liufeng family, all the important ministers of the family gathered, and Liufeng Xishan wrote three signatures on the spot, and then looked at his three sons coldly: "Come on, in front of the ancestors of my Liufeng family, see who the providence belongs to!" ”

It turns out that God loves fools, especially the kind of fools who are so stupid. A minute later, Liufeng Sen was elated, the two younger brothers were crying and mourning, and the important ministers congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to His Highness Sen!" Everyone threw down the dying Liufeng Xishan and rushed up to the new master.

Liufeng Xishan was lonely in a wheelchair, indifferently looking at the elated victors and frustrated losers, he had seen through the warmth and coldness of the world, after the crown prince was born, his last role in the world had come to an end, the Liufeng family had a new master, and it was meaningless for the courtiers to serve an old master who had half a foot in the coffin.

He was thinking about it, and a gentle hand gently put it on his shoulder: "Daddy, I'll send you back to rest." ”

He turned his head, and in front of him was the only woman in the room, the pretty woman in a military uniform. Among the flattering politicians and high-ranking officials, she is as arrogant as a snow lotus in the desert.

Looking at her, Liufeng Xishan was heartbroken, God gave her a talent that surpassed all men, why not give her a male body?

The two looked at each other silently, father and daughter, past and present celebrities, one has little time, and the other is in his prime and has an infinitely broad future.

"Shuang'er, I've wronged you!"

"Daddy, you're overthinking, that's good."

"Limited to the ancestral family law, I can't make you the head of the family, but ...... in the future" Liufeng Xishan's unfocused pupils stared blankly at the lucky lucky man with a red face who was surrounded by the crowd, and whispered: "After I go, you abolished him and became the head of the family yourself." ”

After being shaken, she also whispered: "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible." ”

"Yes, and so should you." Liufeng Xishan muttered, "I didn't expect that Ah Heng left earlier than me. In the future, the Liufeng family will depend on you...... Please, Frost......"

The old man's head slowly drooped, drooling from the corners of his mouth, and he fell asleep.

Staring at her father's gray hair, her weathered eyes overflowed with tears, as if she was afraid of waking up the sleeping old man, her voice was as soft as a sigh: "Daddy, please rest assured." ”

A week later, Rogue Nishiyama died.

The appearance of the new family is really unflattering, he is stout, hunchbacked, with long hands and feet, thick and hard hair, his forehead and jaw bulging unsightly, his small eyes flickering suspiciously in the deep sunken sockets, and his whole body is covered with thick black hair.

At first glance, people often think of a sapient primate, and even the favorite food of the Flowing Wind Forest is - when hearing this, no one does not scream - bananas!

His personality is also like that of an orangutan, he is greedy, selfish, suspicious, irritable—all the virtues of man that he has forgotten in his mother's womb. Without his father's calculating wisdom and charisma enough to attract his subordinates, he could only solve the problem in the simplest way, killing all those who might threaten his position!

On the day he ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to gather troops loyal to him into the city and besiege the mansions of his two younger brothers—if it really went well, it might not be a good thing, at least it would cut off the germ of future division, and it could also leave a reputation in history as "slashing his own brother with tears for the great cause, and becoming a big thing without informality".

Throughout the ages, there have been countless such court incidents, and the victors have always had the privilege of not being condemned.

But as it turned out, Liufengsen was not that material at all. It only takes a cup of poisoned wine and an assassin to kill the two younger brothers, but in order to show the prestige of the new monarch and doubt the loyalty of his subordinate generals, Liu Fengsen deliberately borrowed a full 100,000 barbarians from the local Tu tribe from the distant northwest wasteland.

Without waiting for the army to arrive, every ant in the Yuanjing City was running to tell each other, Liu Fengqing and Liu Fengming felt that they had not yet learned the skills of King Zuo Jiaming to be able to resist the army all the way, they hurriedly waved goodbye from afar, and then ran away.

The harsh environment in the northwest has cultivated the tenacious vitality of the Tu people, and also created their unspeakably bad living habits, which are not shameless and not afraid of life and death, which is the best description of the Tu people, who are fundamentally incompatible with the civilized world.

For example, in the minds of the Turkish people, they have no concept of latrines and toilets, because in the vast and boundless desert of their hometown, where can they not solve physiological problems anywhere? And to build a latrine for this, the Turkish soldiers felt that it was really incredible: "The people in the city are really troublesome, such a big city, can't it hold a few bubbles of?" Why go so far? ”

So, they brought the "good" living habits of their hometown to Yuanjing.

Since then, the citizens of Yuanjing are blessed, they go out every day to be "surprised" to see that there is one or a few more pieces of at the door, less than a week, the bustling Yuanjing stinks, there is no place on the street, and these yellow and white things increase at the rate of 100,000 lumps a day.

The citizens were horrified to find that if the pace continued at this rate, in less than half a month, the entire Far Capital City would be overwhelmed by a huge pile of earthy-yellow, damp, sticky substance—simply put,.

The Turkish troops entering the city aroused strong resentment from the citizens of Yuanjing, but compared to their other actions, casual defecation was really just a trivial matter. I usually only see Huangsha Gobi camels and cacti, and the first time I saw the young and graceful beauties in the city, the eyes of the Turkish soldiers were about to erupt with fire: "This woman insists on getting it!" ”

The desert tribe has always admired force and warriors, and when they got married, the groom tied the crying bride to the camel with a rope to "snatch" home.

In front of everyone's eyes, the Turkish barbarians molested and abducted women on the street, and for a while, everyone in the far capital was in danger - of course, ugly women don't have to worry, but they shouted the most: "Yo, it's terrible, it's terrible!" People don't dare to go out! What can I do? That posture seems to be for fear that people all over the world will not know that "people" are eligible to be robbed.

Others had to comfort her: "The barbarian soldiers are just barbaric, their eyes are not blind, you are very safe......"

Hearing that the barbarian soldiers were doing mischief, the garrison troops and police in the Yuanjing City hurriedly came to dissuade them and persuaded them with good words, but the warriors felt that their sacred freedom of marriage had been violated, and their eyes widened: "Do you think our Turkish warriors are easy to bully?" ”

As soon as the chief gave the order, thousands of barbarians rolled up their sleeves and beat the garrison and the policemen to the ground, and smashed the garrison camp in the city. Seeing that the barbarians were outnumbered, the garrison officers and soldiers reported the matter to the Yuanjing Garrison Headquarters, and asked to send troops to suppress the stupid movements of the barbarian soldiers and arrest the perpetrators, but Liu Fengsen needed the help of the barbarians to deal with the two younger brothers at this time, and instructed: "They are all fraternal troops, and friendship is the most important thing, and the overall situation is the most important!" ”

At this beginning, the barbarians became more and more unscrupulous, they did not look like an army at all, but a super-large bandit regiment assembled, and the military discipline of the troops was so bad that desertion, robbery, rape, killing of civilians, and looting of shops were commonplace.

Despite the language barrier, this does not prevent the barbarian soldiers from working in full swing, and the knife is the best translation!

The police station was burned, the garrison camp was smashed, there was no law, no dignity, no one dared to stop it, no one dared to resist, all order was gone, and in those dark days, the ghosts in the Yuanjing City cried like hell on earth.

Normally, the barbarian soldiers only need to kick open the door, their eyes are glaring, and the interested owner of the house naturally bows his head and smiles and presents all the possessions of the family - even if it is dangerous to even squint at this group of fierce gods, the slightest disobedience, this group of barbarian soldiers will immediately hang the whole family on the eaves and hang them!

A week later, the chaos reached its zenith, and even the palace became the object of plundering by the barbarians, and the main hall of the palace was plundered, and when the palace guards arrived, the barbarians carried the gold carpet and carved jade vase.

Looking at the throne with two legs cut off (the barbarians suspected that the legs were made of gold), Liu Fengsen's expression was indescribable.

Every day as soon as the sun set, those Turkish barbarians set up a fire in the center of the street—a fire made by tearing down the doors, roasting the doors, sorghum, and furniture of the houses—roasting sweet potatoes and looting pigs, ducks, and sheep, drinking local wine, and gnawing and touching the snatched women, and the women's mournful cries for help and the men's lascivious laughter drifted along the evening breeze.

It must not be said that the barbarians were as savage as wild beasts, and they claimed that their national culture had a long history, especially their singing and dancing. When the brutes are half-drunk, the show begins.

A large group of people around the fire wow-la-wah dancing and singing, the simple grass skirt on the body is waving in the wind, the simple face of the barbarian is full of joy, in the cheerful dance, the singer uses the native folk song to express the love for a better life, the lyrics are said to be both far-reaching and meaningful, but also full of feelings, the lyrics are roughly translated as follows: "We are pests, we are pests......"

While they were singing, the five million citizens of Yuanjing were silent, and their eyes were on fire. Flowing Wind Sen had recruited these barbarians, but he didn't know how to send them away.

He ordered the Turkish troops to withdraw from the city, but none of the chiefs would listen—who would want to return to the barren northwestern wasteland to suffer rather than to work hard in a bustling big city! The Great Chief replied in a gruff voice, "Lord Sen, the children haven't had enough fun!" ”

"Give us three more days, and we'll quit after three days!"

"According to the customs of our Tu people, guests must be guests for a week when they come to the host's house!"

"We are a minority ethnic minority, and ethnic minorities have the rules of our nation! According to our rules, it takes at least a month to be a guest! ”

"According to the rules of our Tu tribe, you must stay at the host's house for at least two months as a guest!"

Finally, he said angrily, "Didn't you, the master, invite us over?" The host kicks the guests out of the house, which is a great insult in our native customs! Our brave Turkish warriors will never accept such an insult! ”

Liu Fengsen didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly took the guards to slip away: God knows if the Tu people have the custom of killing people if they are insulted. He regretted that he had provoked such a gang of scoundrels, and if this trend continued, he would not have to wait for the Zichuan family to call, and the famous cultural city of Yuanjing would be destroyed at the hands of this group of barbarians.

The end of the story was extremely dramatic. Two weeks later, Marshal Liufengshuang, who was guarding the eastern front, returned to Yuanjing with his troops.

Hearing the news that the wind and frost were coming back, the brave Tu warriors suddenly forgot their long-standing customs and glorious national traditions, and ran away without even their shoes, and withdrew all night.

The whole incident debuted in a drama and ended in a farce, which incidentally completely exposed the incompetence of the new monarch. Prone to the use of force but unable to control it, this kind of rude character is a virtue for a mountain king who robs his house, but for a country with a history of 300 years and has formed a complete moral inheritance and a complete concept of institutional etiquette, Liu Fengsen is an out-and-out faint king.

But it doesn't end there. For this stupid Yuanjing incident, Liufengshuang scolded Liufengsen fiercely, scolding so bitterly that even a pig would be ashamed to hang himself when he heard it.

But Liufengsen didn't even have this shame, and after listening to Liufengshuang's hearty scolding, he not only had a cheeky face to survive, but also proposed to borrow Liufengshuang's army! Liu Fengshuang asked: "The barbarian soldiers have been driven back, what do you want the troops to do, big brother?" ”

Liu Fengsen said as a matter of course: "Of course it's to kill those two rebels!" ”

Flowing Wind Frost stared at his eldest brother dumbfounded, unable to believe that someone was so shameless and stupid that this guy hadn't learned a milligram of the disaster that had just ended!

She was silent for a long time, and finally said coldly: "The crusaders have not yet learned to fight civil wars!" She got up and kicked her chair over, turned and strode out of the palace.

Liu Fengsen sat in place, cold sweat streaming down his forehead: at that moment just now, he really thought that Liu Fengshuang was going to kill him.

After the quarrel, Liufengsen is determined to remove Liufengshuang's military power, the threat of hundreds of thousands of strong eastern armies is too great, Liufengshuang's stubborn personality can't be controlled, with her, no matter which monarch will be restless.

"Marshal Flowing Wind and Frost, in the name of the head of the Flowing Wind Family, I have decided to remove your military power!" - Even if he gave Liufengsen two more dares, he wouldn't dare to have a showdown with Liufengshuang so openly.

He politely found Liufeng Shuang, his face was full of fake smiles, and he praised her great achievements, and said: "Good sister, you have fought for my Liufeng family for many years, it is too hard, I can't be indifferent as a big brother, I decided to give you a month's vacation, you can go and relax!" You don't have to worry about the army, Entek is a capable and reliable man, you don't have to worry about it at all! ”

"Don't worry about it at all!" Liufeng Sen assured with a smile on his face, he was sweating with worry: Yuanjing City was full of windswept troops, and outside Yuanjing City was also her army, she could easily depose herself, and she was coaxing the tiger to pull out its teeth!

Liufeng Shuang's face was expressionless, staring at him deeply, and bowed slightly: "Obey, family master." ”

She took out the military power order and put it on the table, and asked calmly, "Do you have any other orders, the head of the house?" ”

Even Liu Fengsen couldn't imagine that things would go so smoothly, he was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Liu Fengshuang bowed lightly: "If there is nothing to do, I need to prepare my vacation luggage, and I will retire for the time being." ”

"You...... Where are you going? ”

"If you allow it, I plan to go to the Lin family to recuperate for a while, Heqiu is a very good resort city, and the scenery is very beautiful." Liufeng Shuang lowered his eyes and said softly: "As you said, the head of the family, I am also tired. Since your father has entrusted you with the great cause, you will have to work harder, and forgive your sister for not being able to help. Big brother, everything is please! ”

Looking at her sister's selfless clear eyes, even with the shamelessness of the flowing wind, she can't help but feel ashamed.

For a long time, Liufeng Shuang has been regarded as the patron saint and mainstay of the Liufeng family, and the news of her exile has caused a great sensation, and there are many discussions among the people, and along with the news of Liufeng Shuang's loss of power, there is another shocking gossip: "Liufeng Sen is not in the right position!" ”

Rumors were scattered in the streets and alleys like dandelion seeds, and the idlers spoke vividly, foaming at the mouth, as if everything had been seen by his own eyes: "Before Lord Xishan died, only Liu Fengsen was present in the house, and all the guards and ministers were driven out. The adults were still in good spirits in the morning, but the front foot of Liufeng Sen went in and the back foot came out in less than five minutes, and Lord Xishan immediately ran out of gas! ”

The more the news spread, the more evil it became, the details became more and more precise, it is said that there was a "person" outside at that time—the true identity of this "person" was often changed, sometimes it was a so-and-so young guard who was present, sometimes it was an old palace maid, and suddenly he turned into a respected minister-no matter who it was, he heard the vicious curses, beatings, heavy gasps, the muffled cry for help from the victim's mouth covered, the bitter pleading, and there was a grunt, and finally, there was no sound at all— The former head of the family choked his breath.

No one can see the body of Lord Liufeng Xishan with their own eyes, the imperial doctor who performed the autopsy had a car accident inexplicably, and the guards who blocked the scene were all transferred to the northwest battlefield, and they mysteriously disappeared on the road, and even the biggest basis for Liufeng Sen's succession, the suicide note that is said to be written by Liufeng Xishan himself, has not been tested at all! The speaker held out a finger meaningfully: "Say, isn't it clear what is going on?" ”

The rumors are getting more and more popular, and Liu Feng Sen is angry to track down the rumor-bearer, but rumors are like the wind, they seem to be everywhere, and when they reach out and grab it, there is nothing, and Liu Fengsen's anger can't find a target to vent.

In desperation, he launched a propaganda war, which was countered by rumors, and the newspaper reported every day with a large headline: "Beloved His Highness Liufeng Sen visited the orphanage in person!" ”

"His Royal Highness Liufeng Sen has donated generously to out-of-school children!"

"Don't lose your mind if you're unemployed! - His Royal Highness Liufeng Sen shook hands with the unemployed workers and encouraged them to lift their spirits! ”

"An enthusiastic person who loves public welfare, His Royal Highness Liufeng Sen personally cleans the public toilets for everyone!"

"Show your skills in times of crisis - His Royal Highness Liufeng Sen personally catches thieves for everyone in the city!"

"Batman's identity is revealed-His Royal Highness Liufeng Sen humbly declared: Upholding justice and helping the weak is my dream since childhood!"

A large number of reports eagerly show that our good monarch Liu Fengsen is a benevolent and righteous man full of love and public morality, full of justice and ideals, anxious for justice and righteousness, fearless in the face of evil, and caring for the people - the implication is obvious: how could such a loving and kind young man commit the crime of killing his father?

But alas, the overwhelming publicity did not achieve the desired effect. In stark contrast to the eagerness for rumors, the public appears indifferent to the self-aggrandizement of the Flowing Wind Forest.

In front of a large poster reading "Liu Fengsen shakes hands with unemployed workers", a child asks, "Mom, what is this?" ”

The mother said lightly: "The keeper and the gorilla take a group photo." ”

Seeing that all the tricks were exhausted, Liu Fengsen's support rate still plummeted, and rumors were still rampant, and in the end, the newspaper had to publish the rumor: "His Royal Highness Liu Fengsen's succession is completely legal and reasonable, and he has never tampered with the suicide note and murdered his father and younger brother!" - Angry and angry, he scolded the Minister of Propaganda for being a spy sent by the enemy.

And while Liufeng Sen was in a hurry, his enemies did not rest.

The two brothers who were incompatible in the past have now joined forces, and they openly declare that everything that the rumors say is completely true, and they have witnessed the evil act of Liu Fengsen plotting against his father with their own eyes, so they are brutally persecuted and hunted down!

"Shouldn't all these unusual events arouse our suspicions?" The two young masters of the Flowing Wind raised questions in the tone of philosophers, and they called on all the warriors loyal to the Flowing Wind family to stand up and fight the most resolute against the deranged usurpers and patricide sinners, so that the Flowing Wind regime could return to the hands of true patriots.

With the rapid spread of the statement, Liu Fengqing and Liu Fengming also gathered troops loyal to them, and the rebel troops with a total strength of up to 500,000 looked at Yuanjing.

There was a serious split within the ruling class in Yuanjing, and the panic and confusion spread like a plague to all the local provinces and the army, the morale of the army was weakened, the people's mind was at a loss, the government institutions were almost paralyzed, and the rebels were approaching Yuanjing step by step, and no head of the Liufeng family had ever come to power in such a bad atmosphere in the past 300 years, and some people predicted with great confidence: "The day is not far off to welcome the ninth generation of the head of the family to power." ”

The important ministers are centrifuged, the people's hearts are not attached, rebellions are everywhere, the smoke in the country is continuous, and the wind is in a hurry.

In order to keep power, he made a stupid decision that seemed incredible to others: he declared himself a vassal to the feud Zichuan family, cut land, and paid tribute, on the condition that in exchange for the support of the Zichuan family for him, he suppressed the rebellion in the country - surrendering to the Zichuan family can still save his life and throne, if he let Liufeng Qing and Liufeng Ming win the world, they have to kill themselves!

But during the negotiations, Di Lin, the chief representative of the Zichuan family, put forward a condition: "Your Highness Liufeng, in order to prove your sincerity, you had better show some proof—we are not rare in gold and silver treasures, but we are very dissatisfied with someone, she has killed tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zichuan family in the past ten years, and her hands are full of blood." With her, peace between the two countries is impossible. Your Highness, do you understand what I mean? ”

Hearing this condition, Liu Fengsen was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Then what's the matter, she is my own sister after all!" ”

He pleaded, "Everything else is fine, but this one really doesn't work!" Lord Dilin, at most I will cede two more provinces to the Zichuan family! ”

"Your precious family affection to Your Highness the Convective Wind is very touched. I guess Your Highness's two dear brothers are not far from Yuanjing, ladies and gentlemen, let's go, don't hinder His Highness Liufeng from reuniting with his brothers and sisters. ”

Di Lin got up to go out, and the rest of the negotiators followed suit, big drops of sweat broke out on Liu Fengsen's forehead, and at the last moment, he shouted: "Lord Di Lin, please stay!" ”

"I ...... I promise you! ”

From this moment on, the Liufeng family, which had dominated the western part of the continent for three hundred years, began to decline rapidly and alarmingly.
