The cold wind blowing from the north was surging with endless yellow sand, and soon the sky was completely dark, and this evening, on this battlefield, it seemed that there was not even a single light to be seen.

The familiar darkness seemed to dance gently in the yellow sand.

But no one dared to rise up and respond!

Life and death!

The Emperor and the Ministers!

In the land of Yan, as the emperor of the empire who once existed supremely, Murong Dan was standing with the playthings in his hands in the past at this time, and everyone was bowing down.

If there was no Northern Expedition of the Guards, then whether Shangguan Yu would be sent by the emperor to be killed in Yaonan City has always been a topic of debate in the world, and in this cold and gloomy evening when the yellow sand covered the sun, such a thought also passed through the hearts of all the soldiers, but no one dared to think deeply.

Even the most ordinary soldier can see that here, in the entire Yan Kingdom, Shangguan Yu has the capital to oppose the emperor.

What will the future of Yanguo be like?

On the battlefield, in the cold wind, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at Shangguan Yu, who was standing straight in the dim and hazy behind the yellow sand in front of him.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists hard, even as his nails sank into his wide, sturdy palms, to keep the anger inside him and maintain a semblance of calm.

No one knew better than him what it meant for Shangguan Yu to stand opposite him in front of the hundreds of thousands of people who were kneeling on the ground.

In this empire, in this vast land, there will be another fierce war!

And at this moment, Shangguan Yu, who was opposite the emperor, secretly sighed, the cold sweat on his forehead was dripping, but the excitement in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, just now it was a gamble, but as Wan Yan Zhao said, he will definitely win this game.

Now it seems that he won the bet.

Vaguely, he saw a scene leading to supreme power and even ascending to the top of the world, facing the south as respect.

It wasn't long before he stood like this, and after an incomparably long period of time in Shangguan Yu's feelings, he finally heard the emperor gasp heavily and cough lightly.

Heaven and earth seemed to become quieter with this cough.

Falling pins can be heard!

The dim yellow sand obscured the view, and through the wall of sand like a curtain of fine beads, one could see a standing figure and countless kneeling soldiers behind it.

Although Shangguan Yu knew that those soldiers were kneeling towards Murong Dan now, he shouted loudly in his heart, as long as after today, he would have the confidence to control the government and even sit on the dragon chair and become the emperor.

It was dark, and there was so much sand that he didn't even notice that not far in front of him, Wan Yan Zhao had a treacherous smile on his face after hearing the emperor cough softly, and all his attention was focused on the emperor, and because of his anxiety, a kind of fanaticism gradually appeared in his eyes, which was the frenzy burned by the greed for power!

He inhaled deeply, his right hand reached into his sleeve and clenched into a fist, the wind on the battlefield blew across his cheeks with a coldness, but it could not lower the frenzy in a person's heart!

What man in the world is not greedy for power?

If you can stand on the top of the world today, control the life and death of thousands of people, and let the name be passed down through the ages, even if you die tomorrow, what's the matter!

Being alone and dominating the world is something that everyone dreams of, and today, how can you not be excited when you are so close to realizing this dream!

The emperor on the other side fell silent again, was he afraid? In front of the courtiers he once wanted to kill, in front of the thousands of soldiers he once was, was he finally afraid?

The emperor is also afraid! Is it because of me? I'm the son of heaven!

Can't wait!

The smile on Shangguan Yu's face, which could no longer be suppressed, finally appeared, he took a deep breath, adjusted his armor and walked forward.

One step, two steps, three steps, getting closer and closer to the emperor, when he could see the emperor's face clearly, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, as if the scene that had appeared in the dream was now about to come true.

Landing on the sand, the footprints are clearly visible, but soon they are covered by the yellow sand blowing in the distance, and the emperor's face can already be seen in front of him, the emperor who once had to kneel on the ground and look up, is standing in front of him like this at this moment!

That's the emperor of the Yan Empire, the descendant of the arrogant Murong family, who has been flowing with royal blood for a hundred years, and now he has to look up at himself!

That's the feeling of being in control of life and death, it's the feeling of power. No wonder for thousands of years, there have been countless people who have fought all their lives for the imperial power, and he is willing to change it.

The smile in his eyes almost flowed out, but the emperor on the other side also suddenly smiled.

Shangguan Yu was stunned at first when he saw this, but soon his expression froze, and the frenzy in his eyes instantly turned into surprise, anger, and gnashing of teeth.

His gaze fell completely on the emperor's side, the man who stood up at some point, and the man was looking at him with a smile.

This is a person who could never and should not be here.

In an instant, Shangguan Yu's anger was like a sharp knife, breaking through the air, and he wanted to kill, he looked at that person with hatred as if he was looking at a deep enemy who never died in his past life and this life.

The yellow wind slowly filled the air with a faint smell of blood, and when the wind and sand stopped for a while, the original vague figure gradually revealed, only to see a general in full armor standing there with a modest smile, if it weren't for the rich murderous aura between his eyebrows that revealed his identity, it was easy for people to think that he was a weak scholar.

And behind him, where he had not paid attention all this time, there was another person standing quietly, so low-key that it was almost impossible to see his presence.

"Yao Chaozhi, Murong Feng!" Shangguan Yu secretly roared in his heart.

The two in front of him seemed to feel his curse, and looked up at him together, and their eyes made contact.

In this moment, it was as if the world was silent.

Then a hearty laugh rang out.

"General Shangguan," Yao Chaozhi turned his head to look at Shangguan Yu, and in an instant he seemed to see an old friend, his eyes were full of smiles, "It's been a long time, it's really enviable to see you looking radiant and complacent." ”

Shangguan Yu took a deep breath, a sincere smile appeared on his face as if he had seen an old friend, and at the same time he took a few steps forward, and said with a smile in his mouth:

"Where, where, I've always been like this, I almost lost my life some time ago, fortunately, you wouldn't have seen me today, but Lord Yao, you are becoming more and more majestic, back then'fallen leaves return to the roots' and now 'regenerate branches and leaves', and the branches have stretched out to the outside of Zhongliang City."

Murong Feng, who was on the side, smiled slightly after hearing this, shook his head and replied: "General Shangguan has been in Yaonan for a long time, and he may not know a lot about the transfer of imperial military personnel, His Majesty has appointed Lord Yao as the commander of the Left Route Army long before preparing to go south, in charge of 150,000 soldiers and horses," Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued to smile: "Although the Emperor Wanyan Shuo of the Defending the Kingdom is scheming and puts the emperor in danger with deceit, my imperial army has not been injured, especially although the Left Route Army was entangled by the guards, but because of Lord Yao's proper command, there was not much loss, So Lord Shangguan doesn't need to worry. ”

Shangguan Yu's face changed and said: "Worrying about the emperor, worrying about the country and the people is the duty of an old man, I don't know why the prime minister said this?" ”

Murong Feng didn't hear it, shook his head with a smile, he looked around casually, a trace of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes, but there was an indifferent look on his face, and he said to Shangguan Yu: "Since General Shangguan is worried about the country and the people, he naturally knows that the border town cannot be without soldiers for a day, how can the city pass be dangerous and without a general every night?" Now that the enemy is pressing, although Yan Shuo is defeated and retreats to Zhongliang, how does the general know if the guards will use Yaonan as a springboard to make a comeback? ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, not letting Shangguan Yu interject, but continued: "The general came to King Qin, the credit is not small, now the emperor is out of danger, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops of General Yao around him, there will be no incident, the general can rest assured, now that Yaonan City is empty, the general is still good to return to defense in time, don't let the enemy take advantage of the loophole, take the opportunity to sneak attack, if you lose Yaonan, the general will not be able to make a contribution!" ”

Shangguan Yu frowned after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Murong Feng suddenly, wanting to refute, but he opened his mouth wide but didn't know how to speak, and his face instantly turned red.

Seeing this, Yao Chaozhi snorted coldly in his heart: "Shangguan Yu is still so pustuated, I thought he had grown, as long as he said a few more words, forced him to withdraw from the army, and let the soldiers trapped in the emperor evacuate, everything would be under control." ”

But his expression was still gentle and said with a gentle smile: "Although Lord Shangguan returns to Yaonan City with peace of mind, with my Yao Dynasty's ambition, the emperor will be able to be safe and sound." ”

Shangguan Yu had already walked not far in front of the two of them at this time, Wen Yan frowned, took a step back, glanced at the two of them, and then looked at the emperor again, his eyes were indescribably angry, but his face was as calm and calm as possible, and said:

"The matter of Yaonan City Defense does not bother the two of you, I have already arranged it, and now it is a big deal to escort the emperor back safely, and the old man does not believe that people who can't even win the 150,000 rabble can protect the emperor."

Yao Chaozhi felt like he had been pricked by a needle when he heard this, and he just wanted to refute but before he could speak, he heard Wan Yanzhao, who had been silent behind the two, suddenly stood up and said with a smile:

"I don't know what the two adults mean by asking General Shangguan to leave the emperor?"

Yao Chaozhi's eyes flashed after hearing this, but his face remained unchanged, but he looked at Shangguan Yu and said lightly: "General Shangguan is so powerful, even his cats and dogs dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, don't you know how to restrain more?" ”

Saying that, he raised his head and continued: "The emperor has not yet issued an order to calm down, and it is a capital crime to disrespect the holy will and despise the saint, General Shangguan, he is your soldier, I think you should know how to deal with it, right?" ”

Shangguan Yu frowned after hearing this, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Wan Yan Zhao had already said: "Lord Yao has good means, so that's the case." ”

Yao Chaozhi turned his head to look at Wan Yan Zhao and asked murderously, "What do you want to say?" Let's hear it, if you talk nonsense, don't blame me for not giving Shangguan Yu face. ”

Shangguan Yu heard him call him by name, gritted his teeth and forcibly retracted the words in his mouth, but he still couldn't help but say: "Yao Chaozhi, be careful when you speak!" ”

Wan Yan Zhao smiled slightly, looked at Shangguan Yu and nodded, then turned back to Yao Chaozhi and said: "Lord Yao, the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom is famous all over the world, and the infantry soldiers are all elite, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the hall were defeated by the 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Southern Barbarian Guardian with one blow, I am afraid that no one will believe it." ”

Yao Chaozhi frowned, and said coldly: "What do you want to say?" ”
