The city wall of Dengzhou City is not high, and it is not enough to look far away, but in the past few days, Duan Chong is standing on the top of the city every day to look to the east, but this is not looking at the enemy's army, but the news from the Dali army in the east, and after waiting for three days, Duan Chong finally stood on the top of the city and saw the messenger running from the east, Duan Chong took a deep breath, and his heart began to beat sharply, at this time, Duan Chong's mind was already a little blank, The news that I was looking forward to every day is now hoping to come later.

The messenger entered the city gate, and was directly summoned to the city wall by Duan Chong, Duan Chong took the envelope from the solemn face of the messenger, tremblingly tore open the seal, and took out the letterhead, Duan Chong squinted his eyes and read the contents of the envelope, but his heart seemed to jump out, just as Duan Chong expected but extremely did not want to accept the fact, his brother, Duan Zhuang, the great prince of Dali, had ...... He died, and that was terrible news. Although Duan Zhong had already expected such a thing to happen, when it came time to really get the news, he still couldn't stand such a huge stimulus.

On October 28th, Dali Zheng Kang Emperor issued an obituary, the news of the death of the Dali prince suddenly spread all over the world, at the same time Zheng Kang Emperor announced that the assassination of the Dali prince Izumo princess has been corrected, Dali will pour the country's troops, for the prince to avenge, do not accept any form of vassal and peace, this is undoubtedly an excellent reason for Dali to send troops, crowned with this high-sounding behind the situation that seems to be either you die or I die under the deterrence of Dali cannon, the balance has gradually tilted towards the Dali side, and at the same time, Emperor Kang played a big psychological warfare, sent the spies of the Great Liang to spread rumors between the major cities of the Northern Liang, the power of the cannon was infinitely expanded, and finally the false rumors reached the point where they thought that a cannonball could flatten Yanjing, and the children in the streets and alleys also began to sing all kinds of songs about the death of the country, for a time the people of the Northern Liang were panicked, and many residents began to migrate to the west, and the army began to waver, and in this situation, Emperor Xiao He of Liang Wu of Liang had to adopt an extremely iron-blooded policy to suppress the displaced people, For a while, the sky was angry and complaining, wailing, but Dali's army was not in a hurry, waiting for the rumors to spread and the army was in turmoil.

After Duan Zhong read the letter, he pinched the letter paper in the palm of his hand, and with a little force, it had turned into powder, but the unhappiness in Duan Zhongzhong was difficult to express, and he directly punched the city wall of Dengzhou City, only to hear the sound of "boom" cracking, the city wall was cracked inch by inch, and it collapsed in an instant, this move was to kill the surrounding soldiers, I didn't expect that the strength of the second prince of Dali would be so ...... It's terrible, and this is just Duan Chong's unintentional move, he just wants to vent the depression in his heart, but he doesn't want to forget his identity as a grandmaster-level master, and he immediately collapsed the city wall.

By the time the soldiers reacted, Duan Chong had disappeared, but in the city lord's mansion of Dengzhou City, Duan Chong appeared in the courtyard, opened a door, but walked in, and there was a beautiful woman sitting in this room, who was the princess Izumo who Duan Chong rescued from the court.

Duan took a heavy breath, but shook his head: "Princess, let's go!" ”

Princess Izumo smiled faintly, as if mockingly, and said, "Why ...... today?" Will let me go! ”

Duan Zhong opened his round eyes and looked at Princess Izumo, paused for a long time, and then said word by word: "Because my brother ...... It's dead! ”

Princess Izumo was shocked when she heard this, but she was speechless immediately, and Duan Zhong stepped forward slowly, regardless of Princess Izumo's objections, he directly hugged her, and disappeared into the mansion.

，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，。

In Kaifeng Mansion, His Majesty Xiao Beiping was sitting alone in the room, looking at the ceiling and not knowing what he was thinking? These days, His Majesty Xiao Beiping's life is not good, since he ascended the throne, is to take over a torn Southern Liang, the north has the Northern Liang army south, the south has his younger brother Xiao Beiding chaos, after a lot of hardships, in the hard work, rectify the south of the Yangtze River, and with the help of Duan Chong's power to pacify the forces of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and the Northern Liang army for a long time, it is already a very remarkable achievement, but such an achievement was broken by a cannon fire of Duan Zhuang, the prince of Dali...... Dream.

At this point, the Southern Liang destroyed the country, the whole country moved north, and began to send people under the fence to be instructed to the days, this is the beginning of the nightmare, not only did not keep his sister Princess Izumo, but the courtiers under his hands also couldn't stand such a miserable and depressing life, either to return to their hometowns, or to the North Liang to show loyalty, and even some directly defected to Dali with confidential information, worthy of the name of treason, in the past half a year, the courtiers around him have withered away, There are only a few old ministers and young officials like Wang Zhikun, who want to be the imperial historian.

And in the past six months, Xiao Beiping has not come up with any way to restore the country at all, and he can't even see any hope, Xiao Beiping doesn't know what he's waiting for? I don't know what I'm eating like this and waiting for death? The country has died, even the sister who depends on each other has gone to the Yellow Spring at the moment, what is the point of living by yourself? However, whenever the eldest prince of Xiao Beiping thinks so, he always has a belief in his heart to tell himself: to live.

In the past six months, the only member of Beiliang who expressed concern for Xiao Beiping was Xiao Zhengrong, but this Xiao Zhengrong, as the prince of Beiliang, couldn't drink Xiao Beiping too close, but Xiao Beiping still had an alliance in Beiliang at the moment, and from time to time he got some extremely important information from the alliance and help from the economy, grain and grass, and medicinal herbs, which made Xiao Beiping feel a little warm.

It's just that now, Xiao Beiping is very confused and doesn't know what he should do? Worthy of the name, he sighed helplessly, playing with the fine porcelain teacup on the table in his hand, but his hand was shaking, and this extremely valuable teacup suddenly fell to the ground and fell into pieces, but His Majesty Xiao Beiping did not react at all, but the inner supervisor outside heard the sound, hurriedly rushed into the house, saw the fragments on the ground, and said in fright: "Your Majesty...... You're all right!! ”

His Majesty Xiao Beiping waved his hand and sent the inner supervisor out, while he sighed leisurely and sat down, Fang Fu sat down, but an extremely familiar voice sounded behind him: "Senior brother!" ”

His Majesty Xiao Beiping was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly turned his head, but his eyes were extremely wide, and he almost couldn't believe what he saw...... It is the dead Princess Izumo of His Majesty Xiao Beiping.

Princess Izumo looked at her haggard brother, and her heart suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but call: "Brother! ”

The eldest prince of Xiao Beiping stood up suddenly, rushed to Princess Izumo quickly, grabbed Princess Izumo's hand and said, "Sister...... It's true...... It's you, you...... Still alive! ”

Princess Izumo nodded excitedly, looked at Xiao Beiping and said, "Brother...... It's really me! ”

Xiao Beiping calmed down, but he looked at Duan Chong, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated for a while, and after being stunned for a long time, he finally spoke: "Master...... Brother......! ”

Duan Zhong nodded slightly, and said "junior brother" softly, and didn't say much? His Majesty Xiao Beiping hesitated for a while, and then said: "Duan Zhuang, he ......"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Zhong already said lightly: "That's right...... He's dead! ”

His Majesty Xiao Beiping's body was shocked, and he didn't know what kind of reaction it was, this Zhuang was his great enemy, but he died after Princess Izumo, and at this moment Duan Zhong brought Princess Izumo back, Xiao Beiping thought for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "You saved her!" ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose: "So to speak!" ”

Xiao Beiping looked at Duan Chong, took two steps back, and sat on the stool again, but sneered: "Senior brother, what do you mean by doing this?" Does it count as a combination of grace and power or what? While making me grateful to Dade for your kindness, he slashed at my neck with a knife, should I also be grateful to you as an axe when I die! ”

Duan Zhong shook his head, expecting that this Xiao Beiping would definitely misunderstand himself, and at this time, it would be useless to justify, so he just sighed: "I just hope that you and your sister will find a paradise to live in seclusion, or don't mix in this chaotic world, this person is better alive than dead, and other money and power are just things outside the body!" ”

His Majesty Xiao Beiping snorted coldly: "What are you?" Do you want to show me favor from the posture of the victor, I want to tell you, this battle has not been fought, this victory or defeat will not be known, the beam has not died, I have seen through your hypocrisy and false righteousness, it is useless to say more, you should leave as soon as possible, our friendship will end here, don't think that if you spare my sister, I will be grateful to you, you will always be the enemy of my beam! ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and wanted to say something? But he finally gave up, shook his head and said, "You can do it yourself!" After saying that, he disappeared into the night, and when he got out of Kaifeng Mansion, Duan Chong turned his head and glanced at this city, maybe in a few days, this place will become a scorched earth, thousands of lives will be destroyed, and it will be a human tragedy, but these Duan Chong can't and can't stop it, so he can only sigh and leave far away.
