Fan Guoxiang chose to remain silent and chose Mingzhe to protect himself, and soon, the power of the Bardo Kingdom fell into the hands of Brother Wu.

As soon as Brother Wu came to power, he issued an edict, ordering the arrest of the fugitives who "murdered" the Yin King - Mu Hongxue and Dugu Chong.

As for the search for the descendants of the Dugu clan, Brother Wu never mentioned it again.

Of course, after that, if he went to Fengyi Palace to find Concubine Lin, he didn't have to avoid others. Slowly, everyone in the palace also knew about it, but at this time, no one dared to criticize it anymore.

At this time, someone finally began to understand that Brother Wu was framing Dugu Chong, but now Brother Wu has taken power. Success, prince, and loser, even if you know, what can you do?

Since then, the rule of the Bardo Kingdom has become darker and darker, and this is a story for later.

It was only said that this Dugu Chong rushed out with Murong Hong, but he did not run in the direction of the palace, but all the way to the west.

"Where are you taking me?" Murong Hong shouted loudly.

"Where can we go, run for our lives." Dugu Chong said without looking back.

"Why are we running? That wizard obviously framed us, you should have killed this guy at the time, you didn't have to run away! ”

"What's the use of killing him? If I had killed him, wouldn't it have made people even more suspicious that we had killed people because the conspiracy had been revealed? Dugu said, "For today's plan, we have no choice but to defect to the rebels." ”

"What? Defection to the rebels? Murong Hong was stunned, "Is there any mistake, you are a minister of the imperial court, and your brother's own brother." You went to join the rebels, you, are you going to forget your ancestors? ”

"I'm not forgetting my ancestors, the place I'm going to, their leader is my former subordinate." Dugu Chong said, "At the beginning, they sent someone to lobby me and persuade me to leave the palace and go to them. At the beginning, I was reluctant to do this because I was worried about my brotherhood. ”

"Then why are you willing to do so now?"

"Because, they're right."

"Are you right?" Murong Hong touched the back of his head, "What they said was right?" ”

"They said, "The king today is not my brother, but someone else." I didn't believe it at first, but I believe it now. Dugu Chong said, "What my brother is doing now is completely like a different person. He only pampered the wizard who pretended to be a ghost, appointed mediocre and incompetent ministers like Fan Guoxiang and Liu Shangshu, and also selected beautiful women to enter the palace, lived in a simple place all day long, couldn't even see faces, and even his own queen was killed, he was really not the Dugu Sheng I knew before, he was no longer worthy of being the monarch of the bardo country! ”

When he said this, Dugu Chong looked quite excited, the green tendons on his forehead flared up, and his handsome and fair face was also a little deformed.

Murong Hong frowned, he didn't understand why this Dugu Chong's attitude had changed so quickly, or, this Dugu Chong had thought about surrendering to the rebels in his heart, right?

"If you go to the rebels, I'm afraid they won't accept you, but will hurt you." Murong Hong said.

"They're going to hurt me? How is that possible? Dugu Chong shook his head, "The leaders of this rebel army are all my henchmen and generals. At the beginning, Brother Wang was afraid that I would collude with them, so he transferred me from the army to his side to monitor. ”

"That is, if you go to them now, doesn't it mean that you admit that your brother's worries are justified?" Murong Hong said.

"Huh?" Dugu Chong was taken aback, and his impulsive brain began to calm down again.

"If you think about it, those rebels are rebels, whatever their motives for rebellion are, they are rebels, and that cannot be changed." Murong Hong said calmly, "As rebels, they are fighting against your royal brother and against your Dugu family's Zhongyin Kingdom. At this time, if you go to them, you will openly rebel against your country and your family, not only causing disrepute, but also putting yourself on a path of no return. ”

"So, what do you think I should do?" Dugu Chong said, "That wizard will definitely take the pretense of my brother Wang to arrest us, if the two of us don't go to the rebels, where can we flee to?" ”

"There's a place where we can get there, and as long as we get there, they can't catch us."

"Where?" Dugu Chong's eyes lit up.

"The hell is closed."

"What? Death? You, where are you going? Dugu Chong's pupils dilated.

"Yes, we will break out of the ghost gate and go to the underworld." Murong Hong nodded, "Only by going there can we avoid their pursuit." This hell is a place beyond their control. ”

"No, what am I going to do in Hades?" Dugu Chong shook his head, "Then the Netherworld Mansion can also be gone casually?" If I go there, how will I return to the Netherworld in the future? ”

"What you have to think about now is not to get back here, but to live." Murong Hong said, "I decided to go there, you can also go, but if you stay alone in the Netherworld, I'm afraid you will be caught by them sooner or later." At this time, what we have to think about is to escape from the nether world first, and as for what happens in the future, we can only find another way. ”

"Now, do I really want to get out of here?"

"It's up to you whether you want to leave or not." Murong Hong said, "I'm not from you here, and it doesn't make much sense for me to stay here." Besides, the person I'm looking for is in the underworld, and when I came back this time, I wanted to borrow the black wand in your brother's hand to pass through the ghost gate. It's a pity that not only did we not borrow the black wand, but your brother Wang was gone, and we also suffered the injustice of killing the king. ”

"This." Dugu Chong was still hesitant, "Or, let's go to the rebels?" They promised me that they would support me as their leader as soon as I passed, and I thought, they wouldn't be able to speak, would they? ”

Murong Hong looked at the handsome man in front of him, and suddenly, he had a different feeling in his heart.

The man is handsome and brave, but when it comes to making some important decisions, he seems a bit indecisive and a little confused. At the beginning, the bardo ancestor would like his son, perhaps because his son was handsome and brave, better than his other son Dugu Sheng, and could be loved by others more. However, although Dugu Sheng is gloomy and simple, he is a little less impulsive and a little more calm, and he is better than Nai Di in terms of political wisdom.

Therefore, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, a person can't just look at the appearance, otherwise he will look at the wrong person.

"If you go to the rebels, they'll only use you." Murong Hong simply came up with his own lobbying trick, "You think, they are rebels, rebels." They may support you temporarily, but their purpose is to overthrow your brother, but once your brother is overthrown, your role will be lost, will they keep you then? This is the principle of 'the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks'. Also, aren't these people worried that once you ascend to the throne through a coup d'état, you will settle the old accounts of their rebellion against the imperial court? Well, even if you succeed in subverting, as long as the people of the Bardo Kingdom talk about your collusion with the rebels to overthrow your brother's rule in the future, you will be infamous for the rest of your life. ”

"Huh?" Dugu Chong broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, why didn't I think of this?" The messengers of the rebels have been coming to me, trying to persuade me to come to them, and promising to embrace me as king. Hey, it seems, they're also lying? ”

"I ask you, do you really want to be king?" The corners of Murong Hong's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at this Dugu Chong coldly.

Dugu Chong, as his name suggests, is impulsive. Such a person, no matter how brave and talented he is, it is difficult for him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country. Fortunately, the ancestor of the bardo did not give him the country to his impulsive son, otherwise, this Dugu Chong would not have known if he had either done something wrong impulsively, or he had been fooled by those subordinates.

Seeing Dugu Chong, Murong Hong suddenly thought of himself.

It's easy to talk about others and see others clearly, but doesn't you also have the shortcomings of impulsiveness, impatience and lack of thought?

I don't know why, when he learned that his body had been cremated and he could no longer change back to his former self, Murong Hong calmed down.

"Everything has a cause and effect." The master's words were still in Murong Hong's ear, "When you encounter difficulties and setbacks in the future, you should think more about what caused you to fail, and don't complain." It's useless to complain about others, only by finding problems in yourself will you progress and grow. Those who cultivate the Tao must first cultivate internally, and only by cultivating themselves can they unite their families and govern the country and level the world. ”

Murong Hong thought of the series of setbacks he had encountered over the past period of time, and thought of the mistakes he had made, which could be said to be very stupid. In fact, wasn't it the same as this lonely chong at that time, and often had the mistake of not being cool-headed?

The loss of the physical body is a catastrophe for the vast majority of people, no different from death. But if you can learn from this defeat and be reborn, then this disaster will instead become the seed of future success. Even if I lose my past body, I can appear in this world with a new look to realize my ideals and ambitions.

At that moment, Murong Hong's first wish was to reach the underworld and find his sister Murong Xue.

He can give up everything, give up his life, give up his body, give up his obsession with Murong Xue, as long as Murong Xue can come back safely and return to the yang world to live a happy life, all this giving up and sacrifice is worth it.

As long as you are good, it is a sunny day, this is still the unchanging oath in Murong Hong's heart.

But in order to reach the netherworld, he must defeat the Yaksha Hadatta, who guards the ghost gate, and his hellhound. But now, if you don't get the Black Wand, how can you defeat them?

What to do, what should I do?

Thinking of this, Murong Hong's heart still swelled up with a little desolation and confusion, and his expression became solemn 616161616161
