Chapter 869: Hope is in the former enemy

Dong Chu

Ruyi City

The Eastern Chu Imperial Palace was built halfway up the mountain, and the huge palace building was quite different from the city construction in the Central Plains. The biggest feature of the construction of Chang'an City is the city wall, which is tall and makes people feel powerless that cannot be crossed. There is nothing new in the construction of the city, and the tofu block is planned out, which looks a little monotonous and uniform. After walking a few streets, you will not see any changes.

The construction of Ruyi City was planned according to the mountainous terrain, and the most majestic is the imperial palace. This palace is very different from the imperial palace in the impression of the Central Plains people, the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City is a huge building complex, but it is also a large hall continuously. And the royal palace of Ruyi City is a monolithic castle, which is very tall.

Because there is no shortage of money in Eastern Chu, the cost of building this palace is definitely not less than the amount that the Great Sui Emperor spent on building the Chang'an city wall.

In particular, the sleeping palace of the Eastern Chu Emperor was built very specially. Although the palace is part of the castle, it is built according to a large boulder protruding from the mountainside, and the dormitory side is open, and the side of the dormitory, which is tens of meters long, has folding partition doors. It's like a fan, which can be closed at night, and when you push it open during the day, you can see the endless sea under the mountain.

A platform was built outside the door, with a radius of more than 30 meters. Standing on this platform, most of Ruyi City has a panoramic view. Looking into the distance, there is a view of the sea with thousands of sails.

The dormitory is made of marble, and the interior is extravagantly decorated. As the richest royal family in the world, it is natural that it will not be stingy to spend money to build the most beautiful and comfortable palace. The Eastern Chu royal family was originally surnamed Chu, which is a rare thing. Since ancient times, very few country names have been named after royal family names. Throughout the ages, only Eastern Chu and Southern Chen have been like this. And the two countries have one thing in common: they have hardly won foreign wars.

"It's so comfortable"

When Lyman walked out of the dormitory barefoot in pajamas made of silk, he couldn't help but stretch his arms **. Two Opru girls in milky white dresses slowly pushed open the folding door, and the refreshing sea breeze suddenly poured into the dormitory, and everyone became refreshed.

Lyman walked barefoot on the marble floor to the platform, overlooking the sea.

"The emperor of Eastern Chu is the person who can enjoy it in the world."

He smiled and beckoned, and the two Opru maidens came over, snuggling up to him one by one. The sea breeze blew through his satin pajamas, and there seemed to be something very special on his hairy chest. Lyman straightened his pajamas, blocking what appeared to be a birthmark on his palm.

"What's that?"

One of the Opru maidens curiously raised her beautiful hand to touch the place, but was frightened by Lyman's gaze and the hand stiffened halfway. Lyman looked at her and said in a low but cold voice, "There are no outsiders here, so I'll let you go for once...... Have you forgotten what I said? Whoever touches it, I will chop off his hand. ”

The girl was so frightened that she wanted to withdraw her hand but didn't dare, and her face turned pale for a moment. She knew that every word of the great Lyman the Great was unquestionable, and in the Opru Empire, Lyman the Great's words were God's commands. She knew more about the cruelty of Lyman the Great, and how many people were killed by him could not be counted.

This vast empire, completely clutched in the palm of his own hand.

"Don't forget next time."

Lyman kissed the young girl on the cheek and opened her arms as if to embrace the whole sea.

At this moment, suddenly several black objects flew up from the cliff below the platform and snapped onto the platform. Lyman's eyes changed, and he motioned for the two Opru maidens to return to the dormitory. Several steel claws flew up, clasped to the edge of the platform, and four or five assassins in black suits quickly climbed up the ropes of the claws.

The palace was built halfway up the mountain, and the dormitory was built on the side of the cliff, with a cliff below the platform, making it impossible for even a great practitioner to hike up. So if you want to go up to the dormitory, you have to rely on tools. Clearly, the Assassins had come prepared. Know that on this side of the cliff, there will never be guards.

"Here we go again......"

Lyman seemed a little impatient, looked at the black-clothed assassins and asked in the already fluent Eastern Chu language, "You emperors who have given up their dignity and fled can only use this way to redeem their defeat?" If my country were to be destroyed, I would never allow my loyal warriors to do meaningless things with such suicidal attacks. I will keep them, fight with me, and prepare to rise again. ”

Without a doubt, this is an absolute genius.

When he arrived in Muping, he began to learn Chinese, and when he arrived in Eastern Chu, he began to learn Eastern Chu dialect. And it didn't take long for me to express myself almost fluently, but my tongue was a little hard, so it sounded a little strange.

"Yangmaozi, I want you to die today!"

One of the assassins let out a low snort, and his body leaped into the air, the long knife in his hand slashed through the air like a sword, and a sword qi several meters long immediately slashed down, slashing towards the top of Lyman's head. This assassin's cultivation is not bad, his sword is sharp, and his speed is extremely fast.

But just when that sword qi had only reached about two meters in front of Lyman, it suddenly disappeared.

Nothing.

It was as if there was a void door two meters away from Lyman's body, and after the sword qi got into the door, he went to another world, and disappeared without a trace. The assassin obviously froze for a moment, and then slashed out again, this time the cultivation used was heavier, and the sword qi was almost materialized, and it came in an instant.

But

The sword qi disappeared again about two meters in front of Lyman, and Lyman was still standing so lazily that he didn't react at all.

"This ...... How can it be?! ”

The assassin exclaimed, looking at Lyman incredulously.

"Let's do it!"

Four or five assassins shot at the same time, and the power of cultivation slammed into Lyman's furious manner, but without exception, all the attacks disappeared two meters in front of Lyman. No matter how the Assassins attacked, they didn't hurt Lyman in the slightest.

"I am the child of the gods."

Lyman opened his arms and looked at the assassins proudly, saying, "The gods have given me a body that will never be killed, and even if you try your best, it will not help. The gods of the sky have made me rule this world, and it is God's will, and no one can disobey it. If you are willing to surrender at my feet, I will spare you from death. Don't be obsessed with it anymore, tell me that you are willing to surrender. ”

Several of the Assassins looked at each other, none of them knowing why!

At this moment, countless guards rushed out of the dormitory, raising their muskets and aiming at the assassins.

"Let's go, this person is too evil! Go back and think of countermeasures to kill him again! ”

The lead Assassin shouted, turned to grab the rope and prepared to jump. One of the Assassins stood in front of the crowd, his hands outstretched, and a powerful internal energy was immediately unleashed. It was at this time that muskets rang out. When it came to fending off the bullets of the muskets, the Assassins were clearly prepared. The person who broke off had the strongest internal strength, so he stayed to block the bullets. Before they came, they deliberately experimented and shot at this person with muskets, but they were all blocked by internal strength and couldn't hurt anyone at all.

So almost no one cared about the musketeers and turned to leave.

But

That's when the weirdness happened again.

As the muskets rang out, the remaining Assassins were beaten into a sieve almost instantly. The blood mist exploded one by one on him, and the bullets left one bloody hole after another in his body. And that majestic internal strength has no effect on bullets at all!

Those bullets easily passed through the wall composed of internal strength, killing the person who was broken!

The severed Assassin's eyes widened as he looked at the musketeers in disbelief. His body shook a few times and then slowly went down, so unwilling to die. As the musket continued to swallow tongues of fire, the remaining assassins were unsuspected, and the blood mist exploded, and the cultivator's body and internal strength could not stop those bullets.

The Assassin was shot in the chest, blood gushing down his wound and down his throat. He lay on the ground and looked up at Lyman with difficulty: "This...... Why the hell is ......?"

Lyman didn't seem to bother to look at these people anymore, and glanced back at the guards: "Arrest all the guards guarding the mountain, they are not worthy of the uniforms I gave them, pull out their uniforms, and then throw them all into the sea to feed the sharks, and if they can't find the sharks, they feed the dogs." ”

He turned around and walked slowly back to the dormitory.

The guards stepped forward and dragged the corpses down.

Lyman walked into the dormitory, walked over to the large bronze mirror and stood still, he parted his pajamas, revealing the palm-sized black mark on his chest. It was so black that it looked like a large piece of dead flesh. The difference is that instead of being dead, this black exudes a very eerie brilliance.

He reached out and picked up a gold cup from the table, drank the wine inside, and slipped his palm into it, and the glass was crumpled into a golden lump by him. Looking at the muscles in his arm, Lyman couldn't help but laugh: "Change, it's really good." ”

……

……

On the western border of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, there is a small village called Xiufeng, which is almost isolated from the world in the depths of Xiufeng Mountain. The people in this village are very simple, and life is very simple. During the day, the villagers hunt in the mountains or grow food on small plots of land, and go home to sleep as soon as it gets dark. In Dongchu, where the commercial atmosphere is so serious, the existence of this small village seems so unusual.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of this small village that Chu Juzheng, the emperor of Chu State, was able to avoid pursuit. In fact, there are at least twenty such small villages in Chu, and these villagers are not ordinary villagers, but shelters prepared by the Eastern Chu royal family in order to deal with the crisis that may come one day. These villagers have lived in such a small village from generation to generation, not asking about the world, just waiting for the day when His Majesty the Emperor suddenly arrives.

The commerce of Eastern Chu was so developed that it was too well informed. Therefore, the emperor of Eastern Chu had people secretly prepare such a refuge in the country a long time ago, and it was not known.

"Your Majesty...... I really can't imagine that the minister can wait for you. ”

The village chief was an old man in his sixties, and his eyes were sad: "The ancestors and fathers of the ministers did not wait for the emperor, and they were very relieved when they left. And when the minister came to you, there was only pain in his heart and no joy at all. ”

Chu Juzheng smiled bitterly: "I also think that I will never use you......"

"The border is closed."

Tan Wenyao, the leader of the guards, said angrily: "The minister really can't imagine that the border guard will be bribed!" Sooner or later, these damned scum will cut off their heads with their own hands! ”

"Twelve generals, nine of them surrendered without a fight, the foreigners have done so many things secretly I didn't even notice, and the trade exchanges with the foreigners have become more and more frequent over the years, I actually thought it was a good thing...... didn't expect that this was a long time ago. I am a failed emperor, and most of my courtiers have become other people's courtiers without even noticing! ”

"It's Your Majesty who trusts those people too much!"

Tan Wenyao said: "Your Majesty handed over all matters related to foreign trade to the prime minister, but the prime minister became a traitor!" ”

"I used the wrong person!"

Chu Juzheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hundreds of years of inheritance, buried in my hands, what face do I have to see my ancestors and ancestors?" ”

"Your Majesty"

The village chief comforted: "As long as Your Majesty is alive, there will be a chance." Although the border pass is closed, the road behind the mountain is only known to us guarding the mountain. When you reach the back mountain, there is a narrow gap across the entire mountain range, and then through a mountain forest, you can see the Phoenix Terrace of the Sui Kingdom. ”

"I can't think of it!"

Chu Juzheng said sadly: "One day, I will actually go to the Sui people!" And the only hope for the restoration of the country is actually in the Sui people! ”
