Chapter 157: Under the Nine Elements Mountain
In many later history books of the empire, there are very important records and evaluations of the major events that happened on this night. And of course, there is no shortage of criticism.
"No one is perfect." Even Chu Jiangmian has an unparalleled importance in the historical journey of the great empire he personally created. But many years later, when his people finally truly had a social status of free comment, some of them studied the history with a skeptical eye, and occasionally there were discordant tones.
Some so-called critics have criticized this king, who is almost infinitely close to God in the eyes of the world, as early as this early summer shortly after he succeeded to the throne of Zhao. In the Dragon City Rebellion, which started late at night and lasted until the next day, almost half of the nobles of the Zhao royal family participated, and they all ended badly. After the defeat, they were all slaughtered!
At that time, Chu Jiangmian was not in Dragon City. Moreover, in the official historical records, he guarded filial piety for the first king for 100 days, and settled in the Jiuxing Mountain, and did not directly issue any instructions for the whole of this rebellion. The insurgents were killed solely because of the anger they provoked. But later dissenting voices attributed the incident to a purge orchestrated by him and his confidants.
Of course, this kind of criticism is only a very lonely minority. Such remarks can only be found in the generations of families who have maintained hatred for this great king, or in the history of miscellaneous families.
And in the eyes of the people in the whole world, Chu Jiangmian has always been the highest king in the world! Everything he did, there was nothing flawed. Whatever reason those people died, it was only their own fate, and it had nothing to do with him.
The history will record everyone's merits and deeds, and the reputation of the world will eventually remain in the world. However, the feelings of those who experienced it at that time cannot be known to future generations. Perhaps, the only thing that can testify is the bright moon in the mountains, and the blood falls on the blade!
After Feng Quji, the envoy of the Qin State, personally visited the mansion of Wang Shu Chu Daxing, there were many things that could no longer be undone. Chu Daxing and some other royal nobles who had spent these days in suspicion, when they heard Feng Quji's intentions, understood that the Qin people had kidnapped them into the chariot. You have to fight if you fight, you have to fight if you don't fight!
It was only at this time that they finally realized that cooperating with Nie Wushuang, the young master of the Qin State, was simply seeking skin with the tiger! After the Qin people lost on the battlefield, he still refused to give up, and even wanted to risk this last fight! And those of them who have worked closely with them are like boulders that have slid off a cliff, and can only roll forward, and can no longer stop or retreat.
"How sure is it that the peerless prince can kill Chu Jiangmian in the Nine Elements Mountain?"
When Chu Daxing asked this sentence with a gloomy face, he was actually very clear in his heart. Ever since the envoy appointed by Nie Wushuang stepped through his mansion door, he had to make a choice.
Uncle Wang, who has always been suspicious, definitely didn't believe that Chu Jiangmian's mind would be so broad-minded! It is extremely unusual that after he returned from the throne with great feats and ascended to the throne, he has not punished those who had opposed him so much. And the longer the delay, the deeper the anxiety in everyone's heart will be. The current royal family and nobles, some of them have even reached the point where they are ready to flee when they hear the slightest rumor. No one believed that Chu Jiangmian would leave this matter alone. Because they are even more convinced that even if he wants to calm things down, the queen mother with powerful means will never give up! The so-called settlement after the autumn depends on which autumn queen!
And Feng Quji's arrival became the last straw that broke the camel's back. They didn't believe that the Thousand Machine Pavilion hadn't noticed the whereabouts of this envoy of the Qin State. If you think about it from the malicious side, Nie Wushuang is deliberately trying to force them! When he figured this out, the scheming Chu Daxing was very unhappy at the same time, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire the young man's scheming very much. But at the same time, it also gave him the greatest hope.
"100% sure! After tonight, he will never be able to return to Dragon City. ”
Feng Quji confidently assured him. Chu Daxing and Chu Qingyun, the second son who rushed over with all his subordinates, glanced at each other, and they both saw a firm determination in the other party's gaze.
"After our incident in Dragon City, what promises will the Qin State have?"
"Rest assured. If great things can be accomplished, Qin will serve as the most solid ally and backing to provide you with support and assistance. Since then, Qin and Zhao have been friendly and have advanced and retreated together in the face of the general trend of the world. And if things don't work out, that's okay, the door of the Qin State will be completely open for you. I will lead everyone out of Dragon City at night and go to the Qin Kingdom. What kind of wealth you have in the Zhao State, the King of Qin will double it. This king promises that he will never break his word! ”
Since the people of the Qin State have planned even the worst retreat for them, what else is there to worry about! If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! Put it to death, so that you can live in the afterlife. Rather than continue to endure the unknown here, why not fight to the death for this last chance of success?
So, after the intense planning of the day, twilight had just fallen, and all the royal nobles involved in the matter gathered together in the mansion of Wang Shu Chu Daxing. The children of their family, plus the power they secretly raised, have a total of nearly a thousand people. And among them, Chu Qingyun's henchmen secretly brought back from Liaodong County are undoubtedly their most firm support.
Things have developed to the point where there is no need to hide them in the slightest. Chu Daxing stood on the steps and made the final simple mobilization.
"Chu Jiangmian will die in the Nine Elements Mountain tonight. And our task is to storm the Jinxiang Palace in one go, and kill the Queen Mother Jiang Xin and all the people who are threatened...... After dawn tomorrow, take control of the entire royal court. At that time, immediately announce Chu Jiangmian's death, and then assist Qingyun Gongzi to succeed to the throne, such a big thing can be accomplished! Here I would like to remind all of you that it is important to remember that the soldier is swift and will not tolerate mercy! When you kill, I hope you don't have a little softness......! ”
Murderous and angry. Another turmoil in Dragon City will inevitably begin to reveal its hideousness from this moment.
And just when these rebels were out of the mansion with all their armor, on the Jiuxing Mountain under the same night sky, a battle of life and death was destined to fall apart and never die!
Under Chu Jiangmian's stern order, Murong Qiancheng, who was protected by the guards and retreated to the grass house to hide in a safe place, looked at those terrifying figures who suddenly showed her body with a frightened face, and her heart was suddenly tightened.
Even she, a woman who doesn't know martial arts, can understand how powerful these enemies are. Just now, the three gray figures in the lead flew straight down from the top of the mountain. The huge cloak blown by the mountain wind was like the wings of the ribs, wrapped in endless murderous aura and landed more than ten feet away. And the twenty or thirty black shadows that kept appearing after them were also vigorous, and they looked very strong and invincible.
"You don't have to worry about me! Hurry up and protect him! ”
Murong Qiancheng was almost so anxious that he cried. All the guards and entourage who followed to the Nine Elements Mountain were ordered by Chu Jiangmian to protect her here. Even Bai Ye was pushed behind by him. In that clearing, beside the blazing fire, there were only two figures, him and Lao Pang, who looked so thin and lonely in the face of the oppression of the enemy like a mountain.
"We are all willing to fight to the death to protect the king! But this is his personal order, and his subordinates dare not disobey! ”
Bai Ye's face was pale, staring intently ahead, and the double hooks in his hands were almost bleeding. He and these guards could see at a glance that the three leaders of the enemy were definitely the best masters in the world. Even if they swarmed up, I am afraid they would not be able to resist the other party's casual blow. What's more, the guys in the back who are obviously dead soldiers, like wolves waiting for an opportunity to hunt their prey in the dark night, those fierce eyes make people chill.
"You are Chu Jiangmian? Hehe! Unexpectedly, Chu Lie's son still had some ability, and he was able to solve the dilemma of the siege of the army of the princes of the Five Routes. Such a character, you really can't leave it! ”
The leader Xuan Jijia looked coldly at the young man opposite, and the other party's calm and unhurried demeanor made him murderous all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian not only did not panic, but glanced at them with a smile between his eyebrows, and then continued to stay by the fire, slowly and methodically threading the remaining meat with wooden branches, while saying hello casually.
"Oh, of course I am. Do you want to eat after all this night trip? ”
"Chu Jiangmian! Don't pretend to be a fool here. The three elders of the Hook and Annihilation Department have arrived, do you think you can live again? ”
A piercing sneer was heard. Chu Jiangmian glanced at the prince of Qin Guo, who had already dealt with him several times, he sighed and said a little helplessly.
"Peerless son, I'm so kind! If you all die later, the road to Huangquan is long, and you have an empty stomach, it will be very hard! ”
Hearing his somewhat tired tone, if it weren't for his full concentration in preparing for battle, Pang Tuo beside him almost burst out laughing. Nie Wushuang was not angry at all, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He pointed at Chu Jiangmian with his sword and laughed.
"You really didn't know you were dying! Hahaha...... Chu Jiangmian, I'll cut off your head with my own hands later, and see if your mouth can be so hard! ”
In the midst of his wild laughter, a large long, wide sword was slowly drawn from its sheath. I heard someone raise their voice and say a word.
"Before I kill all these people, I have to enjoy the blood sword in my hand first! Ponto, come and die! ”
