Chapter 25 A Change of Dynasty

Early in the morning of the second day, Duan Siping ordered troops outside the account.

I saw that under the stage, the swords and guns were like ears of wheat, the swords and halberds were like hemp forests, the flags were unfurled, and the trumpet was fluttering, like the tide of the sea. There are five war horses in parallel under the five-color flag, one of them in the middle is the general Gao Fang, the upper head is Duan Siliang and Duan Siying, and the lower head is Murong Yanyun and Youfanyi.

Duan Siping said loudly at this time: "Everyone, here today, whether it is my brother of the Bai tribe, the hero of the Yi nationality, or the hero of the Han family, they are all people who understand the righteousness, and I Duan Siping thank you here." When Yining is destroyed in the coming day, I will definitely pay the preface, reduce taxes and grain by half, and exempt forced labor, so that the people of this land can live and work in peace and contentment, and never suffer from the disaster of swords and soldiers again! ”

Everyone in the audience shouted: "King Siping, Dali Xing!" King Siping, Dali Xing! ”

After a while, Duan Siping waved his hand and said, "General Gao takes the order!" ”

Gao Fang urged the white horse under his crotch, came to the handsome platform, hugged his fists and said: "The last general Gao Fang will take the order!" ”

Duan Siping ordered: "General Gao, I order you to attack the city north of Yining, and go to Taihe City to meet with other troops, there must be no mistake!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Gao Fang said and led tens of thousands of people to leave and headed north.

Duan Siping said again: "Where is Siliang? ”

Duan Siliang lifted the reins of the horse and arrived under the handsome stage, "The last general!" ”

"You lead your troops to attack Yining from the east, and meet under Taihe City, there must be no mistake!" Duan Siping said.

"The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the eldest brother!" After speaking, Duan Siliang also led the troops away.

"Siying, I order you to attack the west and meet under Taihe City as well!" Duan Siping said again, Duan Siying answered, and also took the order to leave.

In the end, Duan Siping said to Murong Yanyun and Youfan: "Two young heroes, follow me to attack from the south!" The two hurriedly responded: "Yes, follow the general's orders!" ”

He got off the handsome stage, with the halberd in his hand, and someone had already led the jujube red god horse. He turned over his horse and pointed forward with the halberd in his hand, instead of the military order, and the army followed him towards the south of Yining.

The three of them have extraordinary martial arts, and their elite soldiers are extremely strong, where are the Yining guards along the way who are their opponents, they are invincible in attacking the city, and they will kill under the city of Taihe in a few days.

Taihe City, the capital of Yining Kingdom, is the first strong city, which is built with fine white bricks, and it looks extremely holy under the sunlight, as if the Nine Heavens Xiongguan is proud of Tiannan. There were countless defenders in the city, and there were several generals, all of whom looked at Duan Siping's army outside the city with murderous aura.

Murong Yanyun immediately walked beside Duan Siping, pointed to the extremely tall and sturdy Taihe City in front of him and said, "Uncle, the city we attacked along the way is really not worth mentioning compared to this Taihe City, it seems that it will take some effort to attack this Taihe City!" ”

Youfan nodded: "This city is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, I don't know if Uncle Duan has any good plans?" ”

Duan Siping said with a smile: "Let's hold our troops first, and when the three-way army arrives, the generals will definitely be able to take this city in one fell swoop!" ”

The three of them set up a camp in the south of Taihe City, and the three-way army also arrived at the city that night. The water in the siege of Taihe City is blocked, and he only waits for the final break with Yang Ganzhen tomorrow.

There was nothing to say that night.

Early the next morning, a mist fell. Duan Siping ordered the four groups of men and horses to go out together to attack Taihe City.

Duan Siping's halberd immediately fell under the city, pointed at the city guards with the halberd and shouted: "Listen to the city guards, I am Duan Siping, the envoy of the Tonghai Festival, let Yang Ganzhen come over and answer!" ”

The soldiers in the city heard a commotion, and someone went down to the city to pass Yang Ganzhen, the lord of Yining. Not long after, an old man in a white dragon robe came to the city. He was accompanied by a scribe in his thirties, dressed very strangely, with a very evil smile, and at a glance he felt that he was by no means a decent person.

The white-robed monarch pointed at Duan Siping and said: "Duan Siping, you chaotic minister and thief, I treated you well in the past, but now you dare to lead troops to attack the city, you really have to rebel!" ”

Duan Siping laughed: "Yang Ganzhen, you only listened to the slander of this demon, when did you put us decent ministers and the people under your rule in your eyes?" ”

The scribe said strangely: "Duan Siping, the national teacher advises you to go back quickly, the lord of the country has a lot, and maybe he can spare your life." Otherwise, I will use Gu magic in a while, so that you can't survive, you can't die! ”

Duan Siping said proudly: "As the saying goes, evil does not prevail over good, just because you want to hurt me with your little ghost tricks, it's really ridiculous!" Yang Ganzhen, Xuli, today I want you to die under the hands of my Duan Siping. As he spoke, he waved his hand, "Generals, take the thief's head with me!" ”。

As soon as he waved his hand, the war drums rang out in unison, the sound of killing shook the sky, the sound of trumpets resounded throughout the earth, and countless soldiers rushed to the foot of Taihe City with cloud ladders.

Seeing this, Yang Ganzhen trembled angrily, "Come on, shoot them to death for me!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers defending the city had already unsheathed their knives and wound their arrows, and when they heard the order, they opened their bows and arrows, and for a while the arrows rained down. Many of Duan Siping's soldiers were injured, but they came from poor backgrounds, and they expected Duan Siping to let them live and work in peace and contentment, so they naturally worked hard, even if they were hit by a few arrows, they would not take half a step back.

Soon, the besieging soldiers set up more than a dozen ladders, and some of the brave ones climbed up the ladders first and climbed towards the city. Seeing that Duan Siping's soldiers were brave, the guards were about to enter the city in an instant, and hurriedly ordered the cloud ladder to be set on fire. The ladder was made of wood, and when the soldiers saw the ladder on fire, they panicked for a while and wanted to escape from the ladder. But the ladder is narrow, and most of the soldiers are not people who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and for a time countless soldiers fell from the ladder and fell under the city to pieces.

Duan Siping couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his soldiers had suffered serious casualties. Murong Yanyun saw that the battle situation was a little bad at this time, so he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Duan, let me and my cousin go to the city!" You Fan Yi also said: "I believe that my cousin and I will join forces to attack Taihe City in one fell swoop!" ”

"Two virtuous nephews, I know that you are excellent in martial arts, but after all, you are inexperienced on the battlefield, what if you have three long and two short?" Duan Siping blocked.

At this time, the bed crossbow and trebuchet on Taihe City were launched at the same time, shooting countless giant arrows and boulders. Giant arrows piercing the besieging soldiers often pierced several people at once, while boulders falling on people turned into powder in an instant. The besieging soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and soon the corpses of the soldiers under the city were piled up.

The two said anxiously: "Uncle Duan, if we don't make a move, I'm afraid it's too late!" ”

Duan Siping was helpless, nodded and said, "Then please leave it to the two virtuous nephews." ”

Seeing that Duan Siping agreed to take action by himself, the two hurriedly dismounted, carried light work, and jumped to the city in a few jumps. The general guarding the city saw two figures, and when he arrived at the city, he didn't pay attention to the arrows and boulders at all, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly sent an order to shoot arrows at the two people.

Murong Yanyun relied on the Buyue Lingxing body method, although he was wearing armor, his speed was not affected too much, like a gale, Yu Fanyi has also practiced light skills since he was a child, although it is not as ingenious as Murong Yanyun's body method, but the speed is not inferior. The two of them didn't have time to get close to the arrows, and they arrived at the bottom of the ladder early.

I saw Murong Yanyun tapping on the cloud ladder a few times on her toes, and at each point, her body took advantage of the momentum to rise a few feet, and most of the way up the ladder in a short time.

Suddenly, a powerful soldier in the city knocked down Murong Yanyun's ladder. Murong Yanyun felt that his feet were empty, but he didn't panic in his heart, he put the tip of his tongue on his teeth, and carried the Shennong Mental Method, and actually stepped six or seven steps upwards in the air, each step was more than a foot high.

Where have the soldiers in the city seen such a light feat, they were stunned, and they even forgot to shoot the bow and arrow in their hands, Yang Ganzhen saw that the situation was not good, so he left the city in a hurry and fled to the city.

As soon as the two of them got out of the city, Murong Yanyun's body arrived at the city, and with a swing of the long sword in his hand, he picked up the heavenly and human swordsmanship and slashed it indiscriminately, and the soldiers in the city were immediately stained to death, and the flesh and blood were flying, who could stop the power of Murong Yanyun's sword!

Murong Yanyun was killing vigorously, and at this time, Youfan Yi also went to the city, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, another group of soldiers fell in response. The two long swords killed the sun and the moon in the city, and the original soldiers on the city were innumerable, but at this time there were few left. When Youfan saw that there was no one to stop him in the city, he shook his body to the city gate and opened the city gate.

Duan Siping was a little worried, but at this time, he saw that the two of them were not only injured, but also opened the city gate, and his heart was overjoyed. He said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, who can kill Yang Ganzhen and the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, and rush in with me!" ”

The siege soldiers were a little afraid of the huge arrows and big stones shot down from the city, and when they saw the city gate open, their spirits were lifted, and they rushed to the city with Duan Siping with a shout.

Murong Yanyun saw that Duan Siping rushed into the city first, and hurriedly got out of the city tower with Youfan, and greeted him. Duan Siping was extremely happy to see the two of them, "Haha, two virtuous nephews, today's merit should be your greatest, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future, now follow me to kill the faint monarch and the demon!" The two of them hugged their fists, answered, and followed Duan Siping towards the palace.

The palace was extremely heavily guarded, and it seemed that there were more soldiers than the city head just now. Duan Siping smiled, "This faint monarch and demon must be hiding in the palace, let's not do anything, let me kill the general!" ”

I saw him jump off the horse, his body shook, and when he reached the middle guard, his fingers were volleyed in the air, and he turned into six fierce sword qi, and in an instant, the six masters fell to the ground and died before he could get close. Murong Yanyun and Youfan were amazed in their hearts, and they also joined the melee with Duan Siping.

The martial arts of the three of them are rare in the world, especially Murong Yanyun and Duan Siping are invincible in the world, they shoot at the same time, how can they be helpless against them. In a short time, hundreds of guards died, ran, and corpses were everywhere in front of the palace.

Duan Siping suddenly had some ominous premonitions at this time, he just thought he was too excited, he didn't care, and walked towards the palace. Murong Yanyun and Youfanyi followed behind him, and occasionally guards intervened to stop them along the way, but they were all solved within a few moves by the three of them.

Before they knew it, the three of them had arrived at an empty field paved with stone bricks, and only a huge brass incense burner was placed in the field. Behind the incense burner seems to be a temple, but at this time the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it is impossible to see what is inside during the day, only to feel a little deep cloud, which makes people shudder.

"Two virtuous nephews, I'm afraid it's a little weird here, be careful!" Duan Siping only felt that the sense of ominousness was getting deeper and deeper, and he hurriedly reminded him.

"Hahaha, Duan Siping, I have reminded you that you are looking for death. When you get here, even the gods can't save you! The voice of the ghost suddenly came from this room, and at this time his voice was strange and no longer human, like a demon of the Nine Shadows, giving people a feeling of wanting to escape from the road.

Murong Yanyun pressed the long sword in his hand, "Uncle Duan, there are strange things here, let's leave here first and then make a decision." ”

As soon as You Fan heard the words of Xuan Li, he also felt a chill behind him, and he also said: "I heard that the Dian people are good at witch Gu methods, and this national teacher looks absolutely human, so it is better to avoid its edge first." ”

Duan Siping nodded and said, "The two virtuous nephews are reasonable. "He secretly uses his internal strength at his fingertips, and his mind is extremely vigilant.

He took the two of them back the same way, but they didn't come forward to stop them, and the three of them walked a cup of tea on the way they came, and when they saw that the palace gate was in front, the three of them quickened their pace, wanting to get out quickly. But when they arrived at the palace gate, the three of them were surprised to find that where was the palace gate in front of them, and they had actually arrived at the door of the temple again.

Murong Yanyun exclaimed, "Why are we back to where we are!" Could this be the legendary ghost hitting the wall? ”

Duan Siping couldn't help but ooze cold sweat, Duan Siping regretted: "I underestimated this demon too much, I didn't expect him to have such a hand, it's really beyond the reach of human beings!" ”

Yu Fanyi pretended to be calm and said: "Don't panic, this is the Misty Phantom Soul Array, as long as you destroy this array, you can break this evil array." ”

Murong Yanyun said: "Cousin, since you know this formation, hurry up and break the formation!" ”

Yu Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The reason why I know this array is because Brother Yun has mentioned it to me, but this array has no fixed objects, and it is also set up according to the intention of the array master." If Brother Yun comes, maybe this formation can still be broken, otherwise even thousands of troops and horses will be trapped alive! ”

Xuli sneered, "Hehe, I'm still a little knowledgeable, but I can't break through the formation, isn't he a fool." Aren't you very good at martial arts, but come in and kill me, I'm in this house, and I will never run. ”

Duan Siping shouted, "Demon, suffer death!" Before he could speak, the man had already stepped into the house.

Murong Yanyun and Youfan thought it was too late to stop them, and they only heard Duan Siping in the middle of the room snorting, which was obviously extremely painful. Murong Yanyun hurriedly asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with Uncle Duan?" ”

You Fanyi's originally dashing face showed some fear, "Uncle Duan should have been poisoned by the demon's Gu, I don't know if he is alive or dead now!" ”

Murong Yanyun was about to say something more, when suddenly he looked at the room in horror, "How can there be so many poisons!" ”

As soon as You Fan heard Murong Yanyun say this, he looked around, and he saw that large and small, colorful poisons of all sizes crawled out of the house on the originally empty field. There are poisonous snakes with fiery red bodies, spiders the size of a palm, centipedes more than half a meter long, and many unknown insects, which are slowly crawling towards the two of them, with a terrifying light in their eyes, as if looking at a delicious meal.

Murong Yanyun has not been afraid of the sky or the earth since he was a child, but he is afraid of these snakes and insects, although his martial arts are so strong, he still can't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, and asks: "Cousin, let's hide!" ”

You Fan shook his head and said, "Cousin, look behind you, where can we hide?" ”

Murong Yanyun could barely calm down without looking back, but as soon as he turned around, he became even more nervous in his heart, and saw that there were several times more poisonous insects behind him than in front of him.

"Whoosh" A poisonous snake suddenly jumped up in the air, it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs and biting at Murong Yanyun's arm. Murong Yanyun hurriedly swung his long sword and slashed at the snake's seven inches, the snake's body was in the air, where could he dodge Murong Yanyun's sword, and he was immediately cut in two.

As soon as the snake body hit the ground, the blood flowed out, and countless poisons immediately became even more excited, and they swarmed up and ate the snake body and snake blood, and some insects made strange noises. After eating the poison of the snake's body, it rushed up to the two of them even more frantically.

The two hurriedly swung their swords to meet each other, and immediately killed a lot of poison, but the remaining poison seemed to eat those dead corpses, and became more and more excited, regardless of life or death.

At this time, many soldiers entered the palace, but as soon as they entered, they fell into the misty phantom soul array and were trapped by poison. As Youfan said, thousands of troops and horses entering the battle are also like falling into a quagmire, and the more they struggle, the deeper they fall.

The two of them were exhausted after fighting for a long time, but there were a lot of poisons, densely covering the empty space in front of the temple. Murong Yanyun was scared in his heart, the sword in his hand was unable to use ten successful strength, and while he was fighting, a snake took advantage of his unpreparedness and bit him hard in the back.

Murong Yanyun only felt that the wound on his back was like being burned by fire, and he couldn't help but scream. As soon as You Fan turned to look, he saw that Murong Yanyun's wound was red and swollen, and he couldn't help but be distracted, and he was almost bitten by a centipede.

When the two of them were about to lose their hold, suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from a distance, and they saw that the poison that was still attacking frantically just now suddenly receded like a tide. With the sound of the flute, a white figure fell to the front of the hall, and the person who came was Yun Yimo, the young master of Shuiyun Pavilion.

When You Fan Yi and Murong Yanyun saw Yun Yimo, they breathed a long sigh of relief, and You Fan Yi said a little breathlessly: "Brother Yun...... You're here......"

Yun Yimo smiled and slapped a palm at the incense burner, "Brother Fanyi, if you die, who else in this river and lake can drink with me in Lianxia Mountain?" Although his tone was soft, the power of his palm was extremely amazing, and he smashed the huge incense burner with just one palm. As soon as the incense burner was broken, the mist phantom soul array was broken, and the mist that filled the palace also dissipated.

"Xuli, you traitor, you were bribed by the thieves of the Ghost Realm back then, and stole my information, causing Senior Duan to be chased and killed by the thieves of the Ghost Realm for three years, and now you have harmed Duan Siping, don't you come out yourself and let me clean up the portal?" Yun Yimo pulled out the Liuyun Sword, stood proudly, and said inside.

was originally arrogant, but when he heard that Yun Yimo was coming, he walked out obediently like an obedient kitten and puppy, and knelt down for Yun Yimo: "Young Pavilion Master, my subordinates know their mistakes, and I just want to die today." ”

Yun Yimo sneered: "Void, I, Yun Yimo, don't want to kill people in my life, but if I don't kill you today, I'm sorry for the seniors of the Duan family." As he spoke, the Liuyun Sword flashed and sank into his chest.

There was no trace of pain in his expression, but he smiled: "Lord Yang has already left from the secret passage, Duan Siping will definitely die, and I will die without regrets." ”

Murong Yanyun saw that Yun Yimo had killed the void, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Young Pavilion Master for saving your life." ”

Yun Yimo smiled and patted Murong Yanyun's wound lightly: "Should I call you Murong Shaoxia, or Mu Shaoxia?" The performance of you and Zhao Chanxue in Lianxia Mountain that day still makes me unforgettable, and since the establishment of my Shuiyun Pavilion for a hundred years, you are still the first to use that method to get the answer. ”

Murong Yanyun also smiled, "Haha, please forgive Brother Yun for the offense that day." ”

Youfan said: "Brother Yun, you better do some business, don't just talk to your cousin." ”

Yun Yimo shook his head and said: "Duan Siping has been hit by the Spirit Gu, and there is no cure left, and I have also treated Murong Shaoxia's injury, where is there anything serious?" ”

After listening to Yun Yimo's words, Murong Yanyun felt that the wound had really lost the feeling of burning, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Young Pavilion Master!" ”

Yun Yimo waved his hand, "Murong Shaoxia, you have been poisoned by the Flame Snake Venom, although the poison is not fatal, but you can't use it for three months, otherwise the residual poison will recur, and even I can't do it." ”

"Okay, since I don't have anything to do here, I'll go back to Shuiyun Pavilion, and I'll wait for the two of you to come to Lianxia Mountain at any time." Yun Yimo said goodbye to You Fanyi and Murong Yanyun.

At this time, the other generals also came over to say goodbye to Yun Yimo, and Gao Fang, Duan Siliang, and Duan Siying also arrived in the empty field. Duan Siying heard that his father had been hit by the Spirit Gu and hurriedly ran into the house, and when he saw his father Duan Siping lying on the ground, his expression was extremely depressed, he hurriedly picked up Duan Siping, and said anxiously: "Father, what's wrong with you?" ”

Duan Siping smiled bitterly, "Father is fine, it's your grandfather who misses me, it's time for me to go over to accompany him." ”

Gao Fang, Duan Siliang, Murong Yanyun, and Youfan walked into the house together and saw Duan Siping who was resting on Duan Siying's lap. The four of them saw that Duan Siping was no longer good, and there were tears in the tiger's eyes.

Duan Siping smiled, "I was forced by Yang Ganzhen to want to be an emperor and want to change my fate, but now it seems that what can I do if I become an emperor?" I understand my father's words, no matter how great the inheritance is, it will only be a passing cloud when he dies. ”

Murong Yanyun was shocked when he heard Duan Siping's words, and said secretly, "Yes, no matter how much fame you have, it will only be a passing moment in the end, so what about this grudge, isn't it the same in the end?" Life is most meaningful only by cherishing the present. Zhao Kuangyin, if you can sincerely apologize to me, I may be able to give up my hatred. ”

Duan Siying hugged Duan Siping and cried, "Father, don't die, Dali is still waiting for you, what if you don't have Dali, are you just watching the world that you just arrived leave you?" ”

Duan Siping said softly: "Siying, you have grown up, don't cry, you are the emperor of Dali, if you cry badly, who will inherit the foundation of my Dali Duan clan?" Father is tired, and finally explains two things to you. ”

Duan Siliang and Gao Fang tried to hide their sadness, "Your Majesty, what do you have to explain?" ”

"The first thing, my Duan family should advocate Buddhism, and every emperor from Siying to become a monk in his later years to wash away the utilitarian heart of the first half of his life, so as not to lose his life for fame and fortune like me. The second thing is to forgive the conscription, don't let my promise become an empty word......" Duan Siping's voice became smaller and smaller, and he died after speaking.

"Emperor Duan Siping of Dali has returned to heaven!" Gao Fang said sadly.

Everyone present knelt down and kowtowed to Duan Siping, and Duan Siying held back tears and said: "Come here, spread the holy decree, forgive forced labor, and build a temple, so that my father's spirit in the sky can see the day when my Dali is strong......"
