Chapter I
The wind howled incessantly, as if it would never stop, and the yellow sand rolled up like a mountain and a sea, but despite this, it could not bury this dead battlefield. The battle flags that had been swaying in the wind had fallen, and there were no more soldiers' shouts, no sonorous war drums, and no more encouraging trumpets...... What is left behind are the dead bodies of many soldiers and broken spears and swords!
Such a tragic scene stemmed from the war between the two countries of Southern Chu and Northern Liang. It is reported that due to the conspiracy within Southern Chu, an important secret report was sent to the hands of the Northern Liang Emperor, which made the Northern Liang, which was originally in a stalemate, have a turnaround. Emperor Beiliang led his troops to encircle and suppress on all sides, and smashed the capital of Southern Chu in more than a month, leaving no effort.
On the day when the Northern Liang army broke through the city gate, the Southern Chu Emperor suddenly died in the dormitory, however, this was not a big deal in the heart of the Northern Liang Emperor, and the Southern Chu Emperor was mediocre, and his sudden death was also his retribution.
Emperor Beiliang led troops to surround the Southern Chu Palace, and sent people to carefully search the inside and outside of the palace, and inadvertently saw a fire in a corner of the palace. His subordinates came to report that the place where the fire caught fire was the Lan Palace, which was the residence of Mu Guixue, the princess of Southern Chu, only because of the death of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and she was martyred!
Emperor Beiliang walked to the tallest platform and looked at the Southern Chu capital from afar. From now on, he Helian Minghuai will be the only emperor in the world!
The main lifeblood of Southern Chu is all controlled by the emperor's younger brother, King Ning Mu Chengji, in the hearts of the people of Southern Chu, the emperor is the king, and King Ning is their hope!
If it weren't for the secret report from King Ning's mansion, Northern Liang would definitely not be able to help Southern Chu, at least, there would not be a scene of the country falling and the city broken.
At this time, King Ning's mansion was not messy and disorganized, King Ning had already dismissed his servants, and he was the only one in the mansion.
King Ning Mu Chengji sat alone in the main hall, holding the teacup in a hurry, drinking hot tea, and quietly waiting for a person who would kill him at any cost. Suddenly it rained outside the door, and the rain dripped down, hitting the dust, and the smell of gunpowder and blood filled the air.
When the Northern Liang military division Xugu led a group of troops into King Ning's Mansion, the army had already surrounded King Ning's Mansion. Now, with the fall of Southern Chu and the trust of Emperor Northern Liang and King Ning being reduced to his subordinate, he is happy that he has won.
Xugu walked very fast, and he couldn't wait to see Mu Chengji's embarrassed appearance. Xugu walked into the main courtyard and walked towards the main hall. King Ning in the main hall knew who was coming, but he was still drinking his tea.
The dark clouds in the sky never dispersed, and the raindrops fell quickly and densely, making a sound. Xu Gu looked at Mu Chengji, his eyes were full of hatred, and this hatred was more like coming from his bones, it seemed that even the downpour in the sky could not stop the anger and hatred all over his body. This breath, he has been holding back for more than ten years, in order to make him admit his death.
Ning Wang Mu Chengji came to see Xugu with the determination to die, he has long lost his wife, the only thing he cares about is his wife's daughter Mu Xin, today, it was originally his daughter's seventh birthday, but it has become the day when the country is ruined and the father and daughter are separated, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to. He thought that he was an ordinary person and could take his daughter away desperately, but he promised his father that he would live and die with Nan Chu.
As soon as Xugu stepped into the main hall, Mu Chengji said, "It's here."
"Long time no see, my good brother, this time...... But you lost. Xugu's flat tone was full of smugness and sarcasm.
"Senior brother? This senior brother of the Northern Liang Military Division, this king doesn't dare to be it! Mu Chengji simply pierced this layer of window paper.
"Mu Chengji, your blind assistant imperial brother Mu Chengyi died on his arrogant dragon bed, indulging in lust! And you? It's stupid to still refuse to surrender to Beiliang for the sake of the only remaining remnants of Southern Chu! ”
Mu Chengji chuckled indifferently, "You and I are different, and we don't conspire with each other." ”
Seeing him like this, Xugu was unhappy in his heart, and he was bound to frustrate his arrogant and lofty spirit. Xugu slowly moved in front of Mu Chengji, "Do you know how your carefully planned plan was revealed?" ”
"It's Ying Qi." Mu Chengji sighed softly, the only thing he didn't expect was that Ying Qi was actually Xugu's apprentice.
"Mu Chengji, Mu Chengji, after so many years, you are still as smart as ever, so smart that people are jealous of you, and even kill you. It seems that Ying Qi is not good enough, but you still found out. ”
"Can you bear to take advantage of a twelve-year-old?" Mu Chengji looked at him.
"Mu Chengji, if you couldn't bear to abolish my martial arts and expel me from the sect, my Xugu would not have become the person I am now. Mu Chengji, now everything I have is thanks to you, I should thank you well! After that, the hatred in Xugu's heart arose, condensed the strength of his whole body, gathered in his right hand, and hit Mu Chengji's chest without hesitation!
Mu Chengji did not flash this fatal palm, but endured it stubbornly, this palm is what he owes to Xugu! It was enough to destroy all his internal organs, and then he died.
"Senior brother, you still died at my hands, you were defeated, completely defeated, Master is in the spirit of heaven, he must regret his decision back then."
Mu Chengji covered his chest tightly, as if he was grabbing his last breath. He staggered towards the Void Valley, slowly stretched out his trembling hand, and suddenly stumbled, Mu Chengji fell to the ground, but grabbed the corner of the Void Valley's clothes.
Seeing the situation, Xugu had a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly squatted down: "In the past, you and I were like brothers, but now, you died under my hands, senior brother, you have been smart for a lifetime, you have won a lifetime, even if you lose, junior brother will let you lose completely!"
Hearing this, Mu Chengji looked up to the sky and laughed, he stood up staggeringly with the remaining strength, and took advantage of Xugu's slack and defenselessness, and poked Xugu's eyes with his right hand without hesitation.
This move caught Xugu off guard, and no matter how good his martial arts were at this time, he couldn't stop Mu Chengji from gathering his strength. With just this move, Mu Chengji's only remaining strength was exhausted and he collapsed to the ground! And Xugu, he screamed in pain, his face was hideous, his eyes were bleeding nonstop, blood flowed through his face, dripping silently to the ground, his hands were nervous and trembling but he didn't know what to do, he almost collapsed!
"These eyes...... It's you who owe it to the master! ”
After that, Mu Chengji moved powerlessly on the ground, and the gorgeous clothes on his body were stained by the dust on the ground, but he couldn't care about it, and now he just wanted to leave the main hall.
The rain was still outside the house, Mu Chengji braved the rain and kept crawling, he wanted the rain to wash away the blood on his body, and he wanted his wife to see his clean appearance. Mu Xin, his daughter, can no longer protect her, he does not ask his daughter to avenge him, he only wants to grow up in peace, marry a good family to spend this life, he will be satisfied.
In a trance, when the rain stopped and the sky cleared, he saw his deceased wife beckoning to her, and he hurried over to take her hand and go with her......
At this time, a child who was only twelve or thirteen years old stepped into the main hall with great calmness, and he had no fear or panic in the face of such a scene.
"Master." Ying Qi said calmly.
Xugu heard Ying Qi's voice, he couldn't see it now, he could only grope around hurriedly, and finally, he groped and helped Ying Qi's arm.
"Ying Qi, what about Mu Chengji? Did he escape? Xugu asked urgently.
Ying Qi turned his head to look at the corpse outside the door, and said lightly: "He is dead, and the corpse is outside the door."
Xugu immediately understood that Mu Chengji was dead, he died under his hands, and he won, but why, he didn't have a trace of a smile. He had always wanted to admit that he was dead, as if it had become a will for him to live, and now that this will was dead, he was suddenly confused and could not find his way.
A few months later, the whole army of the Northern Liang rested, and the Northern Liang Emperor Helian Minghuai entered the Southern Chu to unify the two countries, and since then, the war has stopped, and the people of the two countries have returned to a quiet life.
