Chapter 236: The Ambition of the Hero
Three-point land, Wei land.
The former huge city of Weidu does not have the color of glory and glory at the moment. On the contrary, an almost panicked smell can be smelled everywhereββββ and someone is packing up and fleeing, only to be captured by the guards still being captured.
And the soldiers who guarded the civilians couldn't help but complain because of the task from the lord, and they were doing things that they were not willing to do.
On the street, there is a dilapidated sceneββββ wolf smoke is everywhere, a remnant, and it is difficult to find a human figure; The broken flag is difficult to see the words "Wei" originally engraved on it.
In short, the entire Wei capital, up and down, is full of a declining atmosphere, which makes people depressed to the extreme.
As for why Wei Di, which once had a strong and powerful heritage, became what it is now, everything stems from the Chibi War that happened before.
Shu and Wu joined forces to fight against Wei, and Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of Shu, mastered the power left by the gods of the past ββββ Dongfeng Altar, when the terrible power that destroyed the world reappeared in the world, with the absolute destructive power of destroying the withering and decaying, all the "iron cable ships" of Wei were destroyed.
Then, Shu and Wu rose up to counterattack, all the way like a bamboo, and Wei fell one after another.
If it weren't for the last Wei monarch Cao Cao to use the forbidden power of the blood clan to reluctantly repel the armies of Shu and Wu, I am afraid that even the Wei capital would have been destroyed.
"Hmph, what an embarrassment......"
At this time, in the palace of Weidu, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the throne, had an extremely cold face, his eyes were as red as blood, and a majestic evil aura was rising all over his body, not like a human being.
"It's also my fault, I shouldn't believe the words of that play."
Sima Yi, who was beside Cao Cao, also said in a deep voice, thinking that he was actually deceived by his junior brother Yuan Ge, who had always looked down on him, a black flame burned in his chest, and he couldn't wait to burn Yuan Ge along with his puppet.
Although Sima Yi was majestic and graceful, between his eyebrows was full of an evil auraββββ including the cloudy pupils, flashing with dark light, as if the whole person was black.
The battle of Chibi, the chain of iron cables, this is exactly the strategy that Yuan Ge originally presented to the king of Wei, but he did not expect it to become a prelude to a fatal blow.
"Fortunately, though, I also left a hole hand......"
A cold and cruel smile rose at the corner of his mouth, which was in line with the identity of the hero, Cao Cao stood up from the throne and pulled out the blood-soaked blade from the scabbard.
For a while, the sky was full of blood, all over the palace, and the strong and pungent smell of blood even made the ministers below hide their faces one after another.
"The power of the Bloodline is in my hands. As long as I Cao Cao has a drop of blood left, I can also be immortal and immortal, and enjoy eternal life. β
The blood light on the blade was reflected between the pupils, and Cao Cao's smile became strange and terrifying.
"However, it is also a big trouble for Shu Di and Wu Di to join forces...... Blood, it's almost consumed. β
His eyes darkened a little, but then he flashed greedily again.
"Zhongda, you know, I need fresh blood. Only blood can give me the power to break the order of this world. For this, even a small price to be sacrificed is not a pity. β
The tone was extremely cold and ruthless, mixed with insurmountable domineering, Cao Cao licked the corners of his mouth.
"That's right."
Sima Yi was expressionless, and just replied respectfully.
He understood that when Cao Cao said such words, another group of innocent civilians would die and become victims of the power of the blood clan.
However, the life or death of others has nothing to do with me, Sima Yi, and there is nothing worthy of sympathy.
Is it just by virtue of the power of the Bloodline? It's ridiculous...... The real power is hidden in the root of knowledge, and this is something that only Kong Ming will identify with.
"That's right, Zhongda."
Cao Cao's voice suddenly sounded, Sima Yi silently raised his head, looked at the elusive essence in Xiao Xiong's eyes, and responded: "The minister is here." β
"Wen Ji, there's no surprise, right?"
"No, she's forgotten all about the past. Whether it was the cause of her father's death or the friend who once saved her life. β
"Hmph, that's good."
Cao Cao remembered the young man who did not hesitate to turn against himself in order to save Cai Wenji, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Continue to let her study the clues left by her father, about the relics of the gods, I Cao Cao must also get their power!"
The power of the gods, ancient and mysterious but powerful, is one of the necessary conditions for conquering the world, which is Cao Cao's cognition after experiencing the Battle of Chibi.
"Speaking of the power of the gods...... I suddenly thought of someone. β
"What King Wei said, but that young man named Lu Yu?"
"Yes, I heard that he came from the desert to the west, and entered the Tower of Babel...... There must be a secret in him that I want to know. β
Lu Yu's reputation is not known to women and children, but for every high-ranking person, he has heard of it.
After all, the shaking of Chang'an City and the duel of the power of the gods at the beginning caused a sensation in the entire King Continent.
"If he can join our camp, then the goal of dominating the world will be much simpler."
Cao Cao craved power, but he also craved talents, especially those who were rare for his royal way.
"Oh? In my opinion, he is unlikely to be interested in us at all. β
Sima Yi mocked silently in his heart, he had also heard of Lu Yu's character, and he definitely wouldn't want to have anything to do with someone like Cao Cao.
Moreover, how can a person of such strength be subservient to others?
"Hehe, of course I know he's not going to be interested in us. But ......"
The pupils, which seemed to flow with blood, flashed with a cunning and cold evil light.
"If he stands in the way of my king, then I will let him die without a place to be buried, just like the unparalleled gods and demons he once had."
......
Regarding the conversation between Cao Cao and Sima Yi, for Lu Yu, who had just left Jixia and had just arrived in the third place, he would not know at all.
"Here it is...... Wei Di. β
According to the old master's guidance in his memory, Lu Yu confirmed again and again that the barren scene in front of him was the largest Wei land in the third of the land.
"No, why is Wei Land so desolate?"
As Lu Yu walked, he looked around, and sometimes he could see the ruins emitting gray smoke and the fleeing people.
"Could it be...... Is it because of the Battle of Red Cliffs? β
I once heard the old master say that it was the previous Battle of Chibi that caused the new situation of the three-point land, where Shu and Wu joined forces and successfully defeated Wei and Cao Cao, the king of Wei.
