Seeing Ji Le and Huo Qubing coming late at night, Wu Li hurriedly put on his clothes and came out to greet him.

After learning of Ji Le's intention, Wu Li asked strangely: "Your Highness wants a list of fifty years' population, what do you want this thing for?"

"I have nothing to do, I want to study it. ”

Ji Le didn't say much, just ordered Wu Li to take out the file. Then he began to look up the fertility of the population over the decades.

In addition to the three-year sterilization period of the Taiping disaster, there are many similar window periods.

For example, not long after Yang Ke's father got married, the people fell into a three-month period of zero birth. And with the death of Yang Ke's "big brother", everything is back on track.

A few years ago, when Yang Ke's eldest son was born, there was a similar period of time. This lasted a little longer, but ended with the death of Yang Ke's eldest son.

Obviously, Yang Ke and his son did not complete this ceremony voluntarily. But after witnessing this cruel result, he had to do it as a last resort.

After Ji Le finished reading it, he seemed to say to Wu Li unintentionally: "Speaking of which, the fertility rate of our country over the years is a bit unusual. ”

Wu Li smiled: "No wonder His Highness suddenly came over, is it because those pregnant women have been unable to give birth recently?"

Ji Le and Huo Quzhi looked up at Wu Li.

Wu Li: "Lord Taibu said that we crossed over from our homeland and were rejected by the environment of another world, which led to a decline in fertility. Then, depending on the sun, moon, celestial bodies, and climatic cycles, there will be some stages of sterilization, as long as you get through this cycle. ”

Well, even the reason has been figured out. No wonder the people never doubted.

After all, in this era, the infant mortality rate is too high, and everyone doesn't think much about the early death of the Yang family. It is only due to the fact that the descendants of the Yang family are relatively thin. It is not associated with the so-called "sterilization cycle".

"Speaking of which, apart from the main hall, has anyone else come to look for this thing?"

"This kind of old sesame rotten grain, how can anyone come to check it?" Wu Li pointed to the scrolls of bamboo slips on the bookshelf around him: "Here is a record of the vicissitudes of my Xia Kingdom for a hundred years, but those young people, which one has the heart to come here to check things?"

Wu Li thought for a moment and recalled, "Last year, it seems that the Nangong clan came once. However, she only checked the clothes of Hermes-Epitek a hundred years ago. ”

Nangong Qingyan has been here?

Ji Le seemed to have an understanding, and then he put the information back and left with Huo Quai.

The two of them left from the witch ceremony and returned to the position of the Chengtian Temple.

Huo Quzhi said in a deep voice: "Don't tell me, you are still ready to go in!"

The negativity in the basement was too strong to be good for Ji Le.

"I didn't plan to go in, and I didn't want to go in again. Ji Le smiled bitterly: "Yang Ke's reluctance to enter the Chengtian Hall can be regarded as an experience. ”

Here, it is the sad place of the Yang family. And this incident is Yang Ke's reverse scale.

"Then what are you going to do?" Now, Huo Quzhi understands Taibu's thoughts very well.

This is the darkness carried by the Yang family, and the darkness will be hidden behind the scenes, depressed in the dust of history. Therefore, Taibu didn't want Ji Le to know the truth about this matter.

Because after Ji Le learned about it, he would definitely not sit idly by!

"This can't go on. Can we really sit in peace with a country that continues in this way?"

Ji Le recalled Nangong Qingyan, in his memory, this queen was self-denying, virtuous and gentle, just like a character who came out of the picture scroll, in line with the strict etiquette of the royal family.

But - she is not just a vase cultivated by the royal court, but a living person. Under the suppression and cultivation of Wang Court for many years, she is still willing to fight for her son.

There are also previous generations of ladies, isn't it because of sadness and grief behind the early death of those ladies?

"Now that I know, there's no way I'm going to allow this to happen. Nangong and the child in her belly, I will protect it. ”

Lang Lang's voice sounded in the darkness, and Huo Quzhi's face showed a look of approval. He also thought so, since he learned about this, how could he stand by and watch?

In my life, it is not the turn of a group of newborn babies to sacrifice!

Huo Quzhi said in a deep voice: "At least, there can't be one more Mrs. Di." ”

At the mention of Mrs. Di, Ji Le's face was a little more tangled. Mrs. Di is indeed the victim, but she can't sit idly by and watch the persecution of Xia Guo by incarnating a pregnant woman. Moreover, this matter has something to do with Taibu. But Mrs. Di secretly saved Taibu.

It's a complete mess!

Yang Ke is miserable, Nangong is miserable, and Mrs. Di is also miserable. But Yang Ke's father and grandfather, as the perpetrators, were also the victims.

Everyone in the Yang clan is miserable. Even Taibu is the same, carrying guilt all his life, silently watching one junior after another suffer tragedy.

But there must be someone to fight the sin of this matter.

Ji Le took a deep breath, his nose was a little sour: "So, I can only take the blame for this matter." ”

"You?"

"Yes, I am the spirit of the country, this is the country. Ji Le smiled bitterly: "No matter what the Yang family does, it will always continue for this country." As the biggest beneficiary, as the embodiment of the whole country, who will carry it if I don't come?"

What a big and round black pot!

Huo Quzhi was speechless.

In any case, Ji Le, who has been a national spirit talent for a few months, is the real innocent person in this matter.

Does the whole thing have anything to do with him?

Yang Ke made his last move to sacrifice Li Qiongyun's child, and it was also before Ji Le crossed!

However, in order to solve this matter once and for all, Ji Le must bear the biggest responsibility.

"It's too old, if you are younger, maybe you can still share it. But now, how can I bear to let an old man who is about to die come forward to bear the guilt?"

Not long ago, Taibu forcibly calculated the future of Xia Guo, and now his life span is further consumed. Whether you can survive this year depends on the will of God.

Another culprit, Yang Ke's grandfather, was already in the altar for the sake of Yang Ke's father.

Lady Di, who is the victim, transforms into an avenger to attack the Xia Kingdom, attacks the Yang family, and wants to destroy the Xia Kingdom, which Ji Le cannot tolerate no matter what. However, as a victim, she could not bear this sin.

Nangong and Yang Ke are the victims of this incident, bearing the tragedy of their predecessors.

"In order to solve this matter satisfactorily, they must be dissolved, and someone must stand up and bear their resentment......

Thinking of this, Ji Le wanted to burst into foul language.

The national spirits of other people's families are very comfortable and enjoy all kinds of things in the temple. But what about himself? After crossing over, he kept wiping Xia Guo's ass.

Lao Tzu is the spirit of the country, not a nanny!

But—

"Since it is the dark side of the country, I will not carry it, who will. ”

Since it is for the country, it is necessary to carry the weight of the whole country.

"If you don't accept its burden, how can you be a country?"

After a long sigh, Ji Le's expression suddenly became firm: "Let's go, go find Yang Ke!"

......

Since the matter is to be resolved, then we must first discuss with Yang Ke.

At this moment, Yang Ke ran to the southern jungle to relax. With Ji Le's perception, it happened to be not far from Tolei City.

"In this matter, the fewer people there are, the fewer people there are, you can watch the wind here!" Ji Le asked Huo Quzhi to stay outside and go into the dense forest alone.

Yang Ke was by a small lake, quietly looking at the sparkling waves.

At this time, I have to go to the Chengtian Temple again. This time, though, hopefully you can get the oracle before you give birth, rather than after you do it.

Ji Le walked over and sat down next to him.

"I know everything. ”

“......”

"This matter-" Ji Le scratched his head: "There is no right or wrong in this matter, whether it is righteousness or personal feelings, everyone has their own position." ”

Can Yang Ke be wrong about sacrificing his children for the sake of the country? At least, as a beneficiary, Ji Le, as the embodiment of the country, can't open his mouth.

And if he is right, do you want to acquiesce in this kind of thing happening, and acquiesce to Yang Ke continuing to hurt himself like this?

"At the end of the day, it's all about the country. If you want to blame, you can count it on my head. Ji Le silently put the biggest black cauldron on himself.

"Blame you?" This sentence completely detonated Yang Ke's anger, and he laughed angrily: "What does this have to do with you?"

"After all, I am the Xia Kingdom, no matter what, I always have a share of the sins of the Xia Kingdom. You don't need to fight this kind of thing yourself. ”

"Yourself?" he turned his head and asked Ji Le: "Lao Tzu strangled the child he just shot with his own hands, and then pretended to his wife that the child died young, how do you think Lao Tzu feels?"

"I thought my father died young. As a result, at the altar, I learned that my father died for me. ”

"I hate the gods the most in my life, but in the end I had to take out my son and son as a sacrifice in front of the altar, and endure the humiliation to worship the gods!"

"Do you think that I don't need to carry a sentence myself, I can write off these sums?"

"Yes, you are Xia Guo. The spirit of a nation, the most glorious and righteous being, is loved by all peoples. ”

"You have taken the sin on yourself, can I really seek revenge from you?"

Yang Ke suddenly became furious, and his iron fist wrapped in flames slammed into Ji Le.

Bang –

Huo Qubing suddenly appeared, and stretched out his hand to block the punch with the power of his martial soul.

"Look, there's always someone to protect you. ”

"Just because, you are the embodiment of this country. Therefore, there will be countless people who will sacrifice for you. ”

Ji Le's lips moved slightly, and he couldn't say a word.

Under the impact of the flame divinity, the martial soul automatically collapsed after shaking for three breaths. Even Huo Quai's illness subconsciously took a few steps back. He said in a deep voice: "What happened before Ji Le's birth has nothing to do with him. When he said this, he just wanted you to feel better. If you're going to vent, just find me!"

"It's okay, then let me learn Huo Biyao's methods!"

Yang Ke has been suffocating for many years and is looking for a place to vent. But he has a little sense in the end, and understands that Ji Le is the spirit of the country and cannot be easily injured.

Now that Huo Qu is sick and comes to be a target, Yang Kele sees it.

So, the two fought in the jungle.

The flames rushed into the sky, and the qi dispersed, and under Yang Ke's anger, this dense forest turned into nothing in an instant.

Under the stormy iron fist attack, Huo Qubing could only rely on his experience to defend and resist the divine nature's restraint on himself.

Seeing that Huo Qubing was about to retreat, Ji Le couldn't help but say: "I said, you guys are enough! This matter, everyone can sit down and talk slowly, maybe there are other solutions!"

"Even if we can't, we can find someone else. For example, Shi Huang, the power of his words is extremely mysterious. There is also the goddess Yuanxi, she can't do it, and she can also find other gods. ”

At present, Xia Guo has a deal with several main gods, maybe he can borrow it?

"Heavenly God, if it wasn't for Heavenly God, how could such a thing happen?" "Aren't these tragedies in Xia Kingdom caused by Heavenly Gods?

"There are also those people who are Emperor Shi and the woman...... The god of the homeland, who came to save us under the banner of the homeland?" Yang Ke sneered: "When our Yang family paid such a big price for the people, why didn't we see you come to save people?"

"A national spirit that appeared out of thin air, I'm afraid it won't please my eyes for a long time, right?"

"What, you're going to kill me and then prop up a lord who obeys you?"

"I want to see which lord is so generous and willing to let you kill so many of his children, just for the so-called national reproduction!"

“......”

Huo Qu's hand was sick, his movements couldn't help but slow down a few beats, and he was hit in the chest by Yang Ke's punch, so that a mouthful of blood spurted out. Fortunately, Ji Le was by his side, and with the contract between the two, Huo Quai's injuries were quickly healed.

Ji Le also had a little shame on his face.

At the beginning of the crossing, the two of them regarded Yang Ke as an imaginary enemy, and indeed thought about seizing the throne of the other party and setting him up in the air.

Until tonight, I saw the dedication of the Yang family. Even Huo Qubing has to admit that if he is in Yang Ke's position, he may not be able to do better.

"The throne? Who is rare! If you can choose this kind of thing, who is willing to do it!"

From the very beginning, from the moment Yang Ke was born, his fate had no choice.

Since childhood, he has been raised according to the posture of a king. Since he was a child, his elders told him that he was the king of the country, the future king of the Xia Kingdom, and he must do his duty as a king.

However, no one told him that as the King of Xia, he had to sacrifice so much for the Xia Kingdom!

After being called queen, Yang Ke was called by Taibu and took him to the altar.

Looking at my father's suicide note, looking at the altar that exists underground.

Not only is he angry about his father's situation, but he is also worried about his future. Twenty years later, will you follow in your father's footsteps? Moreover, you will have to follow your father's example and do it to your own children?

At that time, Yang Ke was not yet an adult, and he was not as old as Deng Kai today.

"You know what? Originally, Qingyan and I had our first child. At first, I didn't want to do it at all. Instead, he pinned his hopes on his divine power, wanting to resist this ethereal 'curse'. ”

Yang Ke smiled miserably: "But for more than three months in a row, except for our children, no newborn has been born in the whole country!"

"Even if we sacrifice a large group of gods in the Spirit Palace one after another, none of the gods are willing to stand up and help!"

In the face of the cruel reality, Yang Ke had to personally do it to his eldest son when he was about to enter the fourth month.

"......" Ji Le silently pinched his sleeves and stood in the distance without saying a word.

The monarch and the national spirit are most closely connected, and Yang Ke's emotions make Ji Le empathize.

In addition to anger and grief, this natural demigod has the deepest resentment towards Xia Guo in his heart.

There was a tingling pain in Ji Le's heart.

The monarch should have been the person closest to the Xia Kingdom. But Yang Ke's hatred for Xia Guo was no less than that of Mrs. Di.

As a demigod, he should have lived freely, should have enjoyed the admiration of the people, the pursuit of believers, and even stepped into the ranks of the gods.

It's just that his great-grandfather, his grandfather, and his father sacrificed everything for the Xia Kingdom, and the Yang family sacrificed dozens of children who should have grown up healthily for this.

Even for these people, Yang Ke can't stand idly by.

As a result, he fell into a quagmire called "Xia Kingdom", and had to continue the old path of his ancestors for the sake of this country.

In the end, the only thing Yang Ke could do was to push Yu Yu out of the fire pit. And as a result of this, another innocent girl was involved, involved in the tragedy of the Yang family for decades.

Feeling the strong emotions churning in his chest, Ji Le smiled wryly and subconsciously touched his chest.

If it weren't for the spirit of the country implicating the safety of the people, maybe it would be better for Yang Ke to beat himself up and vent his resentment against Xia Guo.

"Why did God leave Xia Guo? He is so generous? It is because he intends to sit high in the clouds and appreciate how our Xia Kingdom is making its last struggle!"

“......”

"A disaster of peace, and the dead people who caused the incident are gone. As a result, let the living bear all this!"

"The scourge of peace, the sin lies in Di's!"

But in the end, my great-grandfather took the blame for them. Carrying thorns on his back, he knelt down step by step from Jiugong City to Tianjiao City, and went to apologize to the gods of heaven in a low voice. In the end, they will be forced to kill themselves in exchange for the survival of all the remnants!"

You must know that at that time, Liegong was only one step away from being a demigod. If Lie Gong is willing, he just needs to run to the Temple of the God of War for help. He himself was spared.

has the favor of the god of war, and the prince even has the hope of becoming a god. The so-called price is nothing more than sitting back and watching the other clansmen disappear in the wrath of the God King.

However, in the end, Liegong stepped forward.

After the destruction of Tianjiao City, on the one hand, there was no need to take in these orphans. On the other hand, he handed over the fortunes of the country to his only son, who had not yet grown up. He knelt from Jiugong City to Tianjiao City, and exchanged his self-judgment for the temporary concessions of the gods.

The eldest husband has been in the sky for a lifetime, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents. Don't Liegong know?

When he was bullying all the way, the god of war didn't send someone to dissuade him. Even the god of war personally came forward and promised in front of Tianjiao City that as long as Lie Gong was willing to go with him, he could save his life.

is willing to pay so much for his clan, kneeling from Jiugong City to Tianjiao City to ask for guilt, no matter what the outcome is, he is worthy of his heart after all. Even if the clansmen die, as long as Liegong survives, this civilization can continue after a thousand years.

But in the end, Liegong and his friends went their backs. The god of war could only watch the martyrdom judge himself, and even his soul could not be at peace, and he was beaten into the Nine Shadows by God and all the souls of the ancestors, and was tormented by the fire of eternity.

The Yang family has been passed down for four generations, and three generations of ancestors have sacrificed their lives for the nation. It is precisely because of their sacrifice that there is today's Jiugong City and today's Xia Kingdom.

Even Ji Le, who was once just a wisp of the undead, now that he has merged with the Xia Kingdom, he can't make any veto on the sacrifice of the Yang family.

As Ji Le said, he is the biggest beneficiary of this matter.

Sacrificing the Yang lineage is benefiting the entire country and all the people except the Yang family.
