Volume 1 The Tears of the Third World Chapter 143 Hephaestion's Funeral
After several days of mourning, the warring friends finally forced the decision of his grief-stricken Majesty to transport Hephaus's body back to Babylon in a golden crown.
After Hephais's death, there were many rumors in the legion that a young general, who was still in good health a moment ago, died quietly a few days ago, and it was normal for everyone to have suspicions.
Among them, the most widely circulated is Roxana's jealousy of the relationship between the emperor and Hephaus, and the killer, if it weren't for some of Roxana's detailed actions, Ren Xi would also suspect that it was Roxana's poisonous hand, especially the unexpected encounter outside Hephaestion's account that day, the queen's panicked behavior was definitely problematic, but the subtle observation in the past few days, Jiu'er felt that it was not Roxana's hand, at least they succeeded.
But Hephaestion's complexion symptoms when he was dying, Jiu'er knew that the general's condition was strange.
Except for Roxana Jiu'er, she can't deduce who is likely to do this, it's just a thing that will inevitably happen in history, Jiu'er has no intention of investigating it carefully, and it makes no sense to check it, otherwise with the mana that Jiu'er has recovered now, it won't take too much effort to find out the matter.
Let the general leave safely like this, it's time to take back this tear of his previous life.
Alexander didn't believe the rumors in the army, but even so, the Emperor hadn't seen Roxana since Hephaus died, and he was probably still sad.
After some time of funeral activities, the emperor finally recovered, and his friends were able to help him walk around.
Under a tall date palm tree, Jiu'er is looking at the brocade bird on the tree in a daze, the brocade bird with bright feathers is chirping in the tree, Jiu'er has been watching for a long time, seems to be making eye contact with the bird, Princess Aren who came from the eight wildernesses, remembered the ancestor of this bird, that year was in the year of the princess Aren, and the queen mother went to the bear tribe to participate in the tribal meeting of a jiazi, and the strange mountain holy water of the bear tribe made Ren Ji not envious, At the foot of the bear mountain, it was this brocade bird that attracted Princess Aren, who was there a bear for the first time, and talked to the bird for a long time.
"Ah Ren, how do you talk to a bird?" Xiao Ren turned around, it was the little prince of Shaodian who first met in the Arctic Heavenly Cabinet, the little prince was dressed in plain clothes, and the jade belt was fluttering behind Jiu'er, with a slight smile on his face, reflecting the beautiful landscape with bears, so handsome, Jiu'er was at that time to fall in love with Prince Shaodian, although the two tribes have long had a custom of marriage, but it is not certain which prince and princess it will fall on, Ah Ren has prayed silently several times, hoping that the queen can marry herself to Xiong Shaodian.
At that tribal meeting, Shaodian took Jiu'er to swim all over the sparkling water with bears, and this brocade bird followed the prince and princess all the way to chirp.
Jiu'er didn't expect to meet it here.
No one in the entire legion noticed that it was a bird, and took it for granted that it was just a bird.
Who would have thought that this is a divine bird from the Great Wilderness, with the Bear Man Ancestor Shaodian.
Standing under the date palm tree and looking up at the divine bird, although Jiu'er just watched silently, her eyes were full of tears: "Jinniao, why are you here, do you miss our king?" ”
"Nu, how do you talk to a bird?"
Jiu'er turned her head gloomily, as if she saw a young man in plain clothes and jade ribbons fluttering: "Prince Shaodian? Shaodian, you're finally back..."
Jiu'er took a few steps and threw herself into the man's arms, probably too weak, and the man almost fell.
"My lord, what's wrong with you, even if you love our Majesty the King no matter how much you love us, you can't just do it..." was Cosimarchus's slightly teasing hint.
Jiu'er hurriedly stood up straight, and his eyes became clear, it was Alexander who had just returned from grief, Jiu'er smiled bitterly, although it was inferred that Alexander was most likely the Yang Soul of Shaodian, but in this life she had no relationship with him, Ah Ren did not dare to easily destroy the pre-arranged heavenly opportunity, she was afraid that she would never be able to meet the soul of the Shaodian prince again.
Alexander's face was a little pale, and he looked at the nine female shrines of Moore and smiled softly: "The female shrine has lost a lot of weight, the emperor knows that you and Hephaus have the same personality, and the entire military camp, except for the emperor Hephais, is the favorite of the female shrine, but we have to live well, don't be too sad." His Majesty smiled softly, and could not see anything but comfort in his eyes.
This charming male god who is familiar and unfamiliar with Jiu'er finally responded to Jiufeng's curse before his death, and he will never know each other again, and he will no longer be the prince with a full soul.
"Your Majesty, Mo Erjiu is sad about the departure of General Hephaus, but Jiu'er is more worried about Your Majesty, and Jiu'er wants Your Majesty to be happy." Ren Xi's words surprised Alexander, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly, it seems that the female priest is indeed a loyal vassal.
Your Majesty doesn't know how affectionate and sincere Jiu'er's words are, Hephes is Jiu'er's tears of the past, Jiu'er thanks him for his companionship to His Majesty, but not too sad, because it has returned to Jiu'er's body.
It's just Your Majesty, Jiu'er is really distressed, Jiu'er hopes that in the only time left, Alexander can be happier.
"Your Majesty, report from the front, urgent military situation." An armored soldier tumbles off his horse.
Worthy of being a combat-oriented commander, when he heard the urgent report, Alexander pushed away the attendants who supported him, and stood in front of the reporter in high spirits, as if he had never been depressed.
The content of the warrior's emergency report can be summed up as encountering a warlike tribe and provoking along the route far from the large army.
In an hour's time, Alexander arranged everything and rushed to the front line with his army to meet the enemy.
It was a cold winter, the mountain roads were rugged, and the march was very difficult, but no matter what kind of battle the emperor fought, what kind of difficulties were not a problem, and he would soon adopt the tribal uniforms of guerrilla warfare.
Having dealt with the troublemakers, the Emperor led part of his army to the nearby Caspian Sea, where he wanted to explore the rivers that connected it so that a corresponding trading port could be established along the coast in the future, while part of the army marched to Babylon, which would be the final capital of the empire.
The coastal voyage was led by Alexander, and in order to build suitable ships, the Emperor arranged for some shipbuilders to go to the nearby forests to cut down trees and build ships.
The nine women of Moer, several generals and the emperor rested on the path in the mountains and forests together, Xuan Ye pulled the heart and liver to frolic in the distance, Ren Yan looked at Xuan Ye from afar, although he was still the timid boy, but the female priest knew that Xuan Ye had matured a lot, and seeing him happy, Ren Yan was very relieved, so he shuttled all the way with himself without trouble, and it was okay.
A voice sounded softly, very small, only Ren Yan heard it clearly, "Master, find a hidden place, there is something urgent." "It's Mary, this voice is very familiar to Ren Yan.
Ren Xi hurriedly looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, Jiu'er quietly opened a small corner of the bag, and the bronze mirror that had followed him for several lifetimes was lying quietly in the burden, and there were faint traces of blood on the bronze mirror: it couldn't be that Mary was in danger, and the blood flowed out of the bronze mirror.
Ren Juan quickly got up and found a reason, took her bags and left the sight of the legion, next to a thick tree, Ren Juan took out the bronze mirror, there was a white mist on it, without waiting for the call, Mary herself flashed out of it, her whole face was soaked red with blood, Ren Juan opened her mouth and closed her mouth again, she knew in her heart that she would not say anything if she asked Mary again.
"Master, the last mission in this life, rush to the Tower of Babel in Babylon in 539 BC, open the gate of Babel for Alexander, and when you come back, it will be Alexander's return, only before his death to open the gate of Babel, the soul of the emperor will return to the realm of the gods, otherwise he will become a lonely soul with nowhere to return."
"But...... However, after talking for a long time, Dai frowned a few times, and did not find a reason not to go, originally hoping to accompany the emperor for this period of time until he died.
I didn't expect to open the Tongtian Gate for his soul, and now she is finally sure of her conjecture, he is the last Yang Soul of Shaodian, she must open the Tongtian Gate for the Emperor's Yang Soul, and she can't let him wander outside.
"This time, when the master opens the Tongtian Gate, Prince Shaodian's three-point yang soul will be sensed, and they will return to the god realm through the Tongtian Gate together, but his seven-point yin spirit is missing, and he has to look for it slowly. Opening the Gate of Heaven is the first step, entering the Divine Domain, if the Gate of Heaven in the North Pole is not opened, the soul still can't go back. ”
Ren Juan knew this, it was Shaodian who sealed the Arctic Heavenly Gate with spiritual power, in order to prevent evil forces from mixing into the divine domain, and at the same time sealed all the forces outside the divine domain, including the souls of the princes, only extremely powerful external forces can break the seal.
"Master, the key to the Babylon Tower of Heaven is a baby, you have to use the blood footprints of this baby just born to open the Gate of Babel, in the past history it is recorded that this baby was cursed and died before he was born, you must find the pregnant woman before he was born, break the curse, and when she is born, hurry to the gate of the Tower of Babel with the baby in her arms." Mary said, about to cast a spell to take Ren Jian away.
Ren Jian hurriedly stopped, "Wait for me to arrange it." ”
Ren Juan quickly ran in the direction of the army, she wanted to arrange Xuan Ye, this time the departure was different, it was to disappear under the noses of the soldiers of the whole army, her abnormal performance so many times plus this time was enough for the soldiers to make themselves a demon girl, and she could only leave Xuan Ye in this life.
Babylon may be even more dangerous than that.
Since the death of Hephaus, the emperor's mood has not fully recovered, at this time Ren Juan can only ask Seleucus, run to Seleucus's side, Ren Juan quietly pulled Seleucus away from the crowd, Seleucus reluctantly followed, his sword eyebrows were fine-tuned, and his good-looking eyes flashed with a suppressed emotion, "What's the matter?" Let's talk about it here. ”
"General Sai, I'm going to leave for a while, Xuan Ye is my younger brother, if I leave, he may be in danger, please help me take care of him." Ren Yan smiled at the cold Seleucus.
Ren Jian knew that he would definitely agree.
