Chapter 11: The Civil War
General Wu took the wound medicine, and Zhou Tian urged the true qi to heal him, and stabilized the injury for him in just a moment.
"I didn't expect Zhou Tian to learn the Nine Dragons Supreme!" Zhou Tian sighed:
"However, the eldest brother is not a talent for governing the world, even if he learns magic skills, it is only in vain!Gu Chen, are you willing to accompany me for a while?"
Gu Chen nodded, and the three of them galloped quickly to the top of the mountains.
In the distance, surrounded by mountains, the huge capital city is the southern capital, which is an endless pavilion.
In the southern wilderness, there are hundreds of countries, but only three major empires dominate, namely: the Churi Empire in the east, the Great Wei Empire in the north, and the Great Zhou Empire centered on the southern capital.
In addition, there are thousands of sects, large and small, some of which depend on neighboring countries for survival, and some occupy places and are kings alone.
In recent decades, the area of the Great Zhou Empire has gradually shrunk, and it is far less powerful than the other two empires, and the Great Wei Empire is the most powerful, occupying the entire northern part of the Southern Wilderness, and its area is three times larger than the Great Zhou Empire.
"Gu Chen, look at my Great Zhou Mountains and Rivers, how magnificent!" Zhou Fan pointed to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and said:
"In the past, Gao Zu was clothed, and by chance, he learned the Nine Dragons Supreme, but he only played the five-clawed golden dragon to be called the king and the emperor, and established the Great Zhou. Gu Chen, today's Great Zhou is not as good as before, you look at this great rivers and mountains, how can you let outsiders spoil it! I hope you can stay, for me, and for the world!"
"Whoever belongs to this world has long had nothing to do with me. "Gu Chen's heart has long been dead, what about Da Zhou, how can it not make people angry that he wants his father to assist the old emperor to ascend the throne and defend the country for him, but he left the name of a criminal minister.
"Gu Chen, I will go down in history for future generations to worship, and my father has made a decree before his death to marry Long Yuxin to me, otherwise, the Long family will not support me, I know that you are difficult to accept, so, I hope you can come back, Long Yuxin is yours, and the world is mine!"
Gu Chen's heart ached, how could he forget the woman he had loved for many years......
But what, she won't belong to herself after all, perhaps, only this prince of Da Zhou can be worthy of her. Gu Chen was silent for a moment before he said slowly:
"I have nothing to do with her, and I will not mention anything about her again. ”
He said it hard, but he worked even harder in his heart, he didn't have to work hard, that woman was in his heart after all, lingering!
"Gu Chen, I just ask you to help me gain power, and then you can stay at will, and the Gu family, I will bless the Gu family for generations!"
"General Gu, you can stay! The Eighth Prince's shocking talent is now weak, and he needs your help!" General Wu was also persuading.
"Gu Chen, you have practiced hard in the past, and it just so happens that I have a set of Fengyun palms here, which is the most suitable for you. Zhou Fan said, took out a jade talisman and handed it to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen fixed his eyes on it, the aura fluctuations in the jade talisman were obviously extraordinary, in the past they were good friends who talked about everything, but now, he was no longer willing to accept his things.
"I'm here to give you this set of palm techniques, this is not a reason for you to stay, you just accept it, the royal indifference to you all these years, this set of magical power cheats is nothing!"
Gu Chen held it in his hand, his divine sense penetrated into it, and he was immediately overjoyed, this is indeed a set of world-beating palm techniques, with this set of palm techniques, he will have two magical powers, fused into them, and his combat power is naturally extraordinary.
"Zhou Fan, Gu Chen will not stay. When Gu Chen said this, Zhou Fan nodded despite a moment of disappointment, but unexpectedly, Gu Chen continued:
"But the Iron Guards will stay for the time being. "Gu Chen is not because Zhou Fan gave him this set of supernatural powers, but because of this home that was guarded by his father with his life in the past!
"Gu Chen......" Zhou Fan was really grateful, grateful that this former brother was finally willing to stay regardless of his past suspicions, and he said:
"Okay, good, Gu Chen, no, Iron Guard, in the future, you will be the number one general under me, General Tie. ”
The old emperor's funeral was too sudden, coupled with the news blockade, some princes have not yet rushed back, and the Great Zhou has entered an unprecedented crisis.
"Eighth brother, you have finally come out of nowhere now. "It was the third prince Zhou Yuan who came, he rushed back to mourn for his father, among the many princes, he was the most favored by the emperor in the past, which is why the old emperor did not establish a prince until his death, because he was waiting, waiting for the third child, but the old emperor died on the day he rushed back.
"Come, come, third brother, please take a seat. Zhou Fan was very excited, the only brother who didn't underestimate him, he had taken good care of him since he was a child.
"When I rushed all the way back, there were many obstacles on the way, and I inquired and learned that everything was related to the eldest brother!" This was the first sentence of the third prince Zhou Yuan after sitting down.
"Third brother, I was also assassinated by the eldest brother and the second brother some time ago. Zhou Fan told him about the battle with the eldest prince Zhou Tian and the second prince Zhou Lei some time ago.
"This iron general is really a god man! Fortunately, thanks to you, I can keep my eighth brother, and I am relieved that my eighth brother has such a general. The third prince, Zhou Yuan, looked at Gu Chen with a mask on the side and praised him, he thought for a while, and said:
"Eighth brother, now you have the support of the Long family, plus the two generals around you, but this battle for the throne is still extremely difficult!"
"Third brother, where are you talking, you are the real son of heaven in Da Zhou, how dare I make a mistake in front of you!" Zhou Fan also broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't want the third prince Zhou Yuan to say so simply.
"Eighth brother, I'm used to the life of Xianyun Yehe, I came back this time just to calm the infighting, many princes are much stronger than you, but as far as you are virtuous and have the heart to rule the world, I have watched you grow up since I was a child and don't know your character? ”
"Third brother, where do you speak, you are the father ...... the emperor" Zhou Fan said this, but was interrupted by the third prince Zhou Yuan:
"Eighth brother, your heart, the third brother I know best, the day is bright, the night is diligent in martial arts, I see it in my eyes, you have great wisdom in your heart, compared to the eldest brother and the second brother, there is no better!"
Zhou Fan didn't dare to say more, in front of this third brother, everything about him seemed so transparent.
With the help of the third prince Zhou Yuan, the eldest prince Zhou Tian and the second prince Zhou Lei have been charged with various crimes over the years, and the evidence is conclusive.
Although the other princes were ready to move, they were helpless with the third prince Zhou Yuan in charge! In just one month, Zhou Fan had already grasped the real power of the Great Zhou!
"Brother Gu, are you going to the border pass? You must take me with you this time!"
"Xue Wu, this time I'm not going to play, it's very dangerous, I can't protect myself, how can I protect you!"
"Who wants you to protect me, are you disgusted with me, look at the move!" Xue Wu said, a punch was punched, Gu Chen was frightened by her sudden attack and hurriedly retreated, Xue Wu refused to give up, and pressed forward with one hand, but saw that the palm power had not yet been hit, and suddenly the earth was shocking, the wind was fierce, and the dark clouds were thick!
Gu Chen was shocked! The earth-shattering palm power of the Fengyun Palm, how could it be something that an ordinary cultivator could play?
One day, Xue Wu found that Gu Chen was playing with a jade talisman in his hand, and he liked it very much, so Gu Chen gave it to her, only telling her not to show it in front of outsiders to avoid causing trouble, but how could Xue Wu learn this set of palm techniques in more than a month! This talent is really good.
Gu Chen hurriedly greeted him with a palm, which was also a wind and thunder palm!
"Boom, boom!" The wind was raging, the clouds were thick, and it was a huge bombing sound, and the two of them clapped their hands, shocking the heavens and the earth!
When the surroundings are calm, the Qishi Mansion of Snow Dance is already in ruins!
"Xue Wu, you have actually learned the Wind and Cloud Palm!" Gu Chen stood among the ruins and exclaimed:
"Yes, I was careless, Hua Hong's predecessor not only has excellent medical skills, but his cultivation is never under the Dao realm, how can you be a mortal as his apprentice. ”
"Brother Gu, can I go to the border now?" Xue Wu asked.
"This ......" Gu Chen really didn't want him to take risks, he wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't find a reason.
"In that case, let's go together! It will take some time for this Qishi Mansion to be restored, and there are snakes, insects, rats, ants, and poisonous miasma everywhere in the border passes, and I can also help a lot. ”
"Hmm. Gu Chen had to nod, it is true that there are many benefits to walking with Snow Dance.
Zhou Fan took a small number of elite troops and set off at the border pass, and the ancient family of the Long family was guarding in the south, so naturally there was nothing to do.
Although the border pass is far away, a group of thousands of people are sweat and blood, tens of thousands of miles a day is not a problem, and it will arrive in Yuzhou in a few days, close to the border pass.
"Eighth brother, there is Yuzhou ahead, among which there are tens of thousands of my iron horsemen, with one enemy and one hundred, no matter what, I will hand them all over to you. ”
"Third Brother ......", the third prince who fully supports him, Zhou Fan is very grateful.
Yuzhou is just west of the border pass, and the detour here is to gather troops, and there are more than a million troops along the way.
In the east, the three princes Zhou Yuan and the eighth prince Zhou Fan are opposed, and the west is dominated by the eldest prince Zhou Tian and the second prince Zhou Lei.
This battle will be the final heir of the future Great Zhou.
"Big brother and second brother, surrender, we will not blame the past, Da Zhou is now embattled, and there can be no more civil strife!" shouted the third prince Zhou Yuan.
"Third brother, how can you help the eighth brother take away my Great Zhou Jiangshan, if you are willing to be the king, we will naturally be surrendered, Zhou Fan is the son of a foreign woman at the border, how can you be worthy of being the king of my Great Zhou? . ”
"Big brother, you are wrong! Zhou Fan is not an outsider, he is our eighth brother, what I did, you will understand in the future. ”
"Third brother, you are the most amiable among the brothers, you quickly retreat, I don't embarrass you, this barbarian Zhou Fan, no respect, today I must have him to come and go!" Zhou Lei's personality is explosive, although he is headed by Zhou Tian, in fact, his ambition is not under the eldest prince Zhou Tian, if the two jointly win, there will be an internal struggle afterwards, which is also one of the reasons why the third prince Zhou Yuan fully supports Zhou Fan to seize the world.
"Eldest brother and second brother, my father told me before he died that the two of you have ambitions, and you will inevitably rebel after he dies, so let the Long family and the third brother help me, just because I am afraid that you will bury the foundation of the Great Zhou. ”
"Hahahaha......" the eldest prince Zhou Tian laughed:
"Whoever has greater ambitions, you know better than me! When my father was in power, you were obscure on the surface, secretly wooing court officials, forming forces, and you have long had the heart of being called the king and emperor, and today you are a thief shouting to catch thieves and eradicate dissidents, which is already a big crime, just see how I kill the thief today!"
"Soldiers, we are waiting to defend the country, today the thieves usurped the throne, we are not allowed to wait, kill me!" After speaking, Zhou Tian waved his hand, and thousands of generals under his command rushed away with their troops.
"Fight!" Zhou Fan ordered.
