Cloudsdale. On the broad city wall, some people stand with their hands in their hands, watching the long scenery in the distance.

The sword aura is full of autumn, even if the long sword in his hand is not unsheathed, but the power that faintly exudes from that person's body is not to be despised by people.

Gai Nie, a generation of sword masters. Since the Yin and Yang family came four years ago, the cultivation has become more and more sophisticated.

The guards who patrolled the city walls from time to time passed behind him and respectfully leaned over and shouted to Lord Gainie. But what made them strange was that Lord Gainie, who was usually very polite, seemed to ignore them at the moment.

The flames burned in the brazier, which held the three horns, and was reflected for miles in a radius. As the group of guards left, a white-haired figure appeared behind Gai Nie.

Gai Nie's cultivation was already close to the peak of the sword path, and the sword qi around his body was freely retracted. If he wanted to, he would have reined in his sword qi, and even if an ordinary master passed by his side, he would not be able to find that the man beside him was a generation of sword saints whose sword skills had reached the pinnacle of the world.

There is only one situation, and the sword qi around Gai Nie's body can't help but be released.

That is, he came across another sword that was enough to match him, and he came across a long sword that wanted to compete with him.

"Xiaozhuang, are you here?" Gai Nie said slowly.

Since four years ago, Prince Qin belittled Yunzhong, and the two parted ways.

Gai Nie accompanied Prince Qin north to Yunzhong, while Wei Zhuang continued to stay in the Central Plains with half of the net left by Prince Qin.

In the past four years, Ying Ziyi established the Tiance Mansion in Yunzhong City, in charge of all the government and military affairs of Yunzhong and even the entire border counties. Among the members, there are a large number of civil and military generals such as Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Zhang Han, Han Xin, Peng Yue, etc., and even Li Zuoche, who is still in charge of the Yingziyi fiefdom at the moment, Xiao He and others are also named.

In the Tiance Mansion, Gai Nie served as the left guard general of Tiance, and he had a Tiance army of 500 people under his command to defend the Tiance Mansion.

The 500 sergeants in the Tiance army, all wearing heavy armor, counterweight swords, long lances, and long shields, are trained every day, which is extremely heavy, and is a fine hoplite.

And Wei Zhuang, after all these years of development, with the wealth and elixir given to the Yin and Yang family by Ying Ziyi, the assassin group in his hands has developed into the number one killer organization today.

It is different from killing and bloodthirsty in the net, and it is different from the quicksand with its own abilities. Wei Zhuang's Assassin Corps were both strong and superior in skill.

"Senior brother, I'm here."

Wei Zhuang replied lightly, took two steps forward, and stood side by side with Gai Nie.

Gai Nie still looked at the distant scenery and ignored Wei Zhuang.

"Xiaozhuang, you have waited for the opportunity you want, now that you are not in the Central Plains, how will you come here?"

The crown prince of Qin degraded the clouds, and many forces in the empire saw this as a good opportunity.

"Because I suddenly found that such a world, even if it is captured, it is not interesting."

Wei Zhuang said indifferently.

"Xiaozhuang, you've changed."

If you talk about the person who knows Weizhuang the most in the world, it is none other than Gai Nie. After a long absence, just a short conversation, Gai Nie noticed the changes in Wei Zhuang. He is no longer as ambitious as before, sharp, more restrained, but more and more terrifying.

"Senior brother, you are the same." Wei Zhuang smiled and replied.

"Come with me! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he should be in the Cloud Hall at this moment. ”

After Gai Nie finished speaking, he took a step forward and left here. And Wei Zhuang did not hesitate, and quietly followed him.

……

The city in the clouds was originally a border county and a place of governance.

After Ying Ziyi came, this mansion went through a series of additions, piled up the original outer wall, and at the same time, took it as a boundary to open up the mansion outward.

Now, inside the original outer wall, is the palace where Ying Ziyi lives. Outside, it is the place where Ying Ziyi handles political affairs, and Tiance Mansion is located in it.

The 500 Tiance Army was dressed in black heavy armor and patrolled around the Tiance Mansion day and night to protect its safety.

It's late at night, but the lights in the house are not extinguished.

In the center of the long and narrow room, there is a long table, and above the table, is a huge map of the military dynamics of the Hetao border.

Zhang Liang stood in front of the table, folded his hands, hidden in his sleeves, looked at the map, and said in a deep voice: "This war began to burn half a year ago, and now it has reached a situation where it is on the verge of breaking out. The big war, or just these days. ”

Chen Ping pinched his chin with one hand, stood opposite Zhang Liang, and said, "If you fight, Meng Tian will win." ”

Zhang Liang smiled: "Why did Brother Chen Ping say this?" ”

"Meng Tian has three wins." The candle flame was blazing, but Chen Ping's bewitching face was as serious as a woman's face, he stretched out three fingers, and said: "One army is self-willing, two soldiers use their lives, and three soldiers can use their hearts." On the other hand, the Huns ......."

"But there were three defeats." Chen Ping paused as if he was taking a test, and Zhang Liang continued: "One has three surnames and three surnames to divide power, and the two have mixed soldiers, and the three will have no contention. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled. This kind of examination has happened from time to time since the two of them entered the Tiance Mansion together. It's just that no one can win against anyone.

"But there's one thing I'm more concerned about." Zhang Liang said: "On the side of the royal court alone, there is no movement. ”

Chen Ping nodded and said, "It stands to reason that the situation has developed to such a situation, and it is really unreasonable for the royal court to have no action at all. Looking at Mao Dun, the training of the army is quite methodical. Wherever the sound goes, there is no one to move forward. The athletes under him are also the warriors among the Huns. Such a person, at this time, did not make any moves, which is really reassuring. ”

"I should have heard the news of the horse scouting ahead." Zhang Liang was thinking, and suddenly a horse neighing sounded.

At this moment, it is wartime, and the sentry horses come and go, day and night.

A scout dressed in red plate armor with a cloud flag behind him hurriedly walked in through the side door and knelt down three feet in front of the table. "Two adults, there is a battle report from the front. Tonight, Meng Tian led 100,000 troops as the central army, Li Xin led 50,000 troops as the left army, and Wang Li led 50,000 troops as the right army, and began a large-scale counteroffensive. ”

"Got it, you go down!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Ping glanced at Zhang Liang and said, "It seems that Meng Tian can't help it. ”

"After this battle, the land of Henan was all Qin. After that, the border is afraid that there will be a period of peace. ”

"Beneath the calm waters, there are often huge storms hidden. The three surnames of the Xiongnu are not afraid, and the wolf king may be our great enemy in the future. Chen Ping said indifferently, but there was a faint luster in the deep pupils like the starry sky on his fair face.

"Then get rid of him!" Zhang Liang waved his sleeves, pointed at Shan Yu Wangting, smiled gently, and looked like a gentleman.

But the killing intent in his words is really not like the style of a gentleman.

"Let Peng Yue do it! At this moment, he was closest to Shan Yu's royal court. Chen Ping echoed.

……

The nave of clouds.

The Cloud Hall is only separated by a wall from the Tiance Mansion, but it is a different kind of cave.

Tiance Mansion is quiet and solemn, and the civil and military generals are all heroes among the people. However, in the hall of the clouds, the lights are burning, and the singing and dancing in the temple are leveling. Ying Ziyi lay on the throne, bored to see a team of singers dancing in front of her.

This group of singers has a very different appearance from the Central Plains women, with a yellow complexion, a well-proportioned and tight figure, wearing a cropped skirt from the Western Regions, holding a scimitar, bold and exposed.

There were a total of 12 singers in this group, and the dance danced at this time was the dance of the Hun sergeants, accompanied by high music. Although all of them are women, they deduce the anger and tragedy of men's marching battles.

Gai Nie walked in from outside with Wei Zhuang and came to the throne of Yingziyi.

In Wei Zhuang's eyes, the crown prince on the throne has undergone great changes compared to four years ago.

The immaturity of a boy had faded, the lines of his face were much deeper, his head was not crowned, and his long black hair was scattered behind him like a waterfall. The figure reclined on the throne, long and erect.

The only thing that hasn't changed is Prince Qin's demeanor.

In fact, if it weren't for the lazy aura on Ying Ziyi's body and the appearance of playing Hache without manners. Wei Zhuang wants to praise him well, this son should be a king.

"It's Mr. Wei Zhuang!" Ying Ziyi saw the two of them, but she didn't get up, pointed to the side, and said, "You sit down, you don't have to be polite to this king." ”

Since Wei Zhuang came out of the Ghost Valley, he has traveled south and north, and he has seen countless nobles. However, there is no one who is the same as Yingziyi at this moment, so ...... Well, more and more debauchery.

Generally speaking, the aristocracy valued the number of rites more than life. Because the etiquette represents the supreme honor of a nobleman and even the family behind him. There is a set of rules for treating courtiers, guests, and even their wives and relatives.

It's just that the set between the nobles doesn't seem to be able to cover the head of Yingziyi at this moment. The crown prince of Daqin is like a swinger who is nostalgic between the Qinglou and Chu Pavilions, and he does whatever he wants.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang did not sit down according to Ying Ziyi's instructions, because they felt a murderous aura.

A black shadow passed between Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, jumped onto the high platform in front of the throne, and the scimitar in his hand exuded a chill, and went straight towards Yingziyi.

This person was very fast, but in a breath, he rushed from the dance team to the front of Ying Ziyi.

At this moment, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang's faces were slightly gloomy, but they did not stop it. Ying Ziyi is still the same boring and lazy look, playing Hatche with one hand.

The next moment, the woman who was already in mid-air seemed to have been hit by a violent hammer, her body was extremely bent, and she was ejected backwards like a cannonball, and she was loaded on the ground, bleeding from her mouth, and passed out.

Seeing this, the remaining eleven women knelt on the ground in trepidation.

"A little disturbed, let Mr. Wei Zhuang laugh." Prince Qin sat up and said.

A squad of guards soon arrived and took the woman who had committed the assassination down for interrogation. Then the eleven women and the drummers around them also withdrew.

In the temple, Changming was still the same, but as most of the people withdrew, it became extremely empty.

"In the past four years, I've been thinking, why did Your Highness attack the Yin and Yang family in the first place?" Wei Zhuang stood in place and spoke slowly.

"Sir, but you came up with it?" Ying Ziyi asked.

Wei Zhuang smiled and said, "Emperor Qin dominates the world, but the power of the Six Kingdoms is still strong. The car is on the same track, the book is the same, the emperor's measures over the years are undoubtedly just for one point, that is, the unity of people's hearts. ”

Ying Ziyi nodded and said, "What Mr. said is good. Unification of territories does not imply true unity. Only when everyone in the world agrees with Great Qin in their hearts can it be truly unified. ”

"It took Emperor Qin ten years to unify the six countries. The southern expedition to Baiyue, the northern pursuit of the Xiongnu, almost another ten years. It's just that how many decades are there in your life? ”

Speaking of this, Wei Zhuang didn't feel a sigh, "If you give Emperor Qin another twenty years, then the world will be stable and the hearts of the people will be attached." It's just that Emperor Qin doesn't have so much time anymore. ”

Ying Ziyi was secretly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect Wei Zhuang's insight to be so sharp.

"If Emperor Qin dies, then the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, who still have strong influence in the local area, will definitely not sit idly by. In the past, the Qin army washed Zhao with blood, but the Qin Emperor had no way to use it in the same way in the world, and the world would be turbulent again. Therefore, His Highness retreated and came to the land of the clouds. ”

"Sir, wouldn't you want to say that this king deliberately abdicated to make way for Xian for the sake of Daqin's Jiangshan Sheji, and wanted Gongzi Fusu to inherit the throne?" Ying Ziyi gaged and laughed.

"If Gongzi Fusu and His Royal Highness are transposed, it is possible." The corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth curled and said.

"It is not so much that the world in the future will be a battle between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest son, but a battle between the Qin system and the feudal system." Wei Zhuang said this, but there was a deep helplessness in his tone.

"So this time, I want to choose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why?" Ying Ziyi asked strangely. "Could it be that Mr. Wei Zhuang is unwilling to be called a lonely widow, divide one side, or even sit on the world?"

"The lineage of the lineage never chooses to ascend to the supreme position on its own. What's more, how many decades are there in life? Wei Zhuang said self-deprecatingly: "Moreover, compared with those princes of the Six Kingdoms or Gongzi Fusu, I prefer to believe that Your Highness, you will win." ”

"Hahahaha!" Ying Ziyi laughed and said, "Gai Nie serves as the left guard general of Tiance in the Tiance Mansion, and is in charge of the five hundred Tiance army. Then Mr. will serve as the right guard of Tiance. This king will build a new army of 500 people, named the Xuan Ce Army, which will be in charge of Wei Zhuang. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wei Zhuang leaned over and said.

"The heirs of the same lineage have never been under the command of one person?"

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang retreated, and a female voice gently came into Ying Ziyi's ears.

Mizusawa surged from the ground, condensing the human form, and Xiaomeng's figure appeared in front of Yingziyi.

"Really? That seems to be the case. Ying Ziyi smiled and hugged Xiaomeng into her arms.

"Knowing the current situation, being good at observing changes, this is vertical and horizontal. And now, both of them have chosen the same force, which may be a sign, a sign that a new era is about to appear. ”
