Chapter 38: Twisting
The peaceful days of the Liu family were quickly shattered with the news of the great victory. The campaign, which lasted for more than a decade, was finally drawn to an end. Speaking of which, the biggest credit for the end of this battle belongs to Liu Heng.
After many years of fighting, the national strength of the Zhou State has long been exhausted, and in recent years, they have fought evenly with the enemy, but unfortunately, with the increasingly serious consumption of the national treasury, the supply has been significantly reduced and delayed for more than a year, and seeing the expansion of the defeat day by day, the DPRK and China are also divided into two factions. One faction insisted on fighting, while the other faction advocated peace.
The emperor of the Zhou State was in the prime of life, and it was the age of ambition, how could he be willing to bow down to the enemy country and pay reparations. In his heart, he actually supports the battle. It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, seeing that the treasury is empty, the recruitment of civilian soldiers is becoming more and more difficult, and there are fewer and fewer strong men left in every family.
At such a critical time, the monarch of the enemy country also felt that his own family was already sure of victory, so he proudly made the decision to personally reap the fruits of victory.
After all these years of cultivation, Liu Heng has seen more jade slips in the Ruyi Residence with various anecdotes about the cultivation realm, and his horizons have been broadened many times, and he has long lost his awe of the royal family in the mortal world, and he has long discarded the set of loyal and foolish monarchs in his bones. Because he knew that he and An Ruyi would probably not be able to leave this planet and reach the real cultivation realm in this life, he also died, and gave up all thoughts about cultivating and pursuing immortality.
decided to let his son develop the power of the people. He took advantage of the situation to stay in the army and get a good background. It also means to leave a legacy for future generations. In fact, this also means that he disdains usurping power and does not consider becoming emperor himself. In his opinion, instead of being the emperor who worked hard, it was better to concentrate on developing the power of the family, the Liu family has the practice of cultivating the truth, and the descendants will flourish in the future, and after the light and darkness are really developed, will they still be afraid of a royal family in the mundane world? When the time comes, a family that surpasses the imperial power will not be more free and easy than being the emperor of his own family.
It's no wonder that Liu Heng's idea is too rebellious in a world where imperial power reigns. is really a monk, after having the immortal means in the eyes of others, he will unconsciously produce a sense of pride that stands out from the crowd. The idea of respecting the strong in the cultivation realm, as his cultivation progresses, it will slowly integrate into his blood bit by bit.
Therefore, for the royal family of the Zhou State, he did not have the idea of usurping the throne, and he was already Amitabha.
Because of the idea of becoming an official in the court, Liu Heng has also used a dim sum machine for the seven princes who have concealed their identities by his side in recent years. He did not expose the identity of the Seventh Prince, but secretly took care of him, and several times at a critical juncture, he "desperately risked" in order to save him, and was very "dying" a few times, so he returned to the Seventh Prince's gratitude, and regarded Liu Heng as a close friend of life and death, and finally even secretly confessed his identity to him.
Liu Heng immediately showed shock, and then stood in line directly, expressing his determination to resolutely support it. There is also a faint revelation of a kind of desperate rescue for him before, partly because he was shocked by the mysterious aura around him. Now that I think about it, it is estimated that it is his body protection dragon qi.
Thousands of clothes are not worn. What did the Seven Princes take a huge risk to join the army for? If he really didn't think about the throne at all, how would he be willing to try such a day of licking blood from a knife edge. is really forced to be helpless, as a prince, especially a prince who is no different from a transparent person, in fact, he is also very aggrieved, and it is difficult to escape a dead word if he fights or not. Therefore, when he heard the explanation given by Liu Heng, the last trace of doubt about him in his heart was gone. Secretly muttering that maybe he really has this true dragon qi to protect his body, or if he wasn't so lucky, he has risen step by step over the years. The most important thing is to meet a martial arts star like Liu Heng to protect him from time to time.
I have to say that the brain of the Seven Princes has been supplemented, but it is this kind of brain supplement that makes him trust Liu Heng all his life, no one can match, and the monarchs and ministers in the next life have been recorded in the annals of history for thousands of years, of course, these are not to be mentioned later.
In fact, when he knew the true identity of the Seven Princes, Liu Heng also thought about it carefully. Just because he was close to the Seven Princes in the army, probably everyone would think that he was from the Seven Princes' faction.
After reading the information of the Seven Princes, he found that this is also a pitiful, although being born in the emperor's family is an existence that ordinary people are born noble and can only look up to, but for him, he has been struggling to survive since he was a child, and he really can't survive without any ability. He was a successive son-in-law, and he gave birth to a child and died, and he was not treated by the emperor as a child, and he almost never met his father and emperor a few times when he was a child. Seeing that he was not welcomed, the palace people treated him with an attitude that can be imagined. Fortunately, there were still a few loyal servants left, so he grew up smoothly, and was married at the age of sixteen, and his wife family was also a broken family, which couldn't give him too much help, and what made people feel that the emperor didn't pay much attention to him was that other princes would at least be crowned a prince when they went out of the palace to build a mansion, and as a result, there was nothing to him. Just left the palace and built a mansion, and is still known as the Seven Princes.
Because of his unfavored status and embarrassment, he is still the original son-in-law, and no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, he will not be truly at ease. Not to mention that there is a successor in front of him and a successor behind him, even if he will be remembered by the emperor one day.
Such an unlucky and tragic prince who is completely ignored today and doesn't even want him to appear during the New Year's holidays is rare in the world.
However, Liu Heng said that after a short period of getting along, he observed the character of the Seven Princes and felt that this person was still pure-hearted, so he also felt that it was not bad to support the Seven Princes in the future. So while everything has not yet been revealed, he seized various opportunities to cultivate a relationship with him. Although there is moisture in this relationship, this relationship is also very real, but it is not as pure as the Seven Princes feels, and he can give up his life for him.
In other words, he is very sorry for his life, except for the wife at home who can let him throw his head and spill his blood, other people don't have to dream. He wants to keep this life no matter what, and his wife and children are hot on the kang.
The war has been going on for several years, and to be honest, both the enemy and us are tired. Seeing that our side has fallen behind, we can no longer turn the tide of the war. The spies who infiltrated the enemy in Mumao Villa sent news of the other party's monarch's personal conquest. For Liu Heng, this kind of news is simply a food delivery.
So he seized the opportunity, and at the right time, he infiltrated the enemy camp alone, and directly captured the enemy's monarch alive, and everything was finally settled.
