Chapter 627: Overlord of Western Chu
The capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty was Jianye City, formerly known as Baiyin City, but after the Bai family overthrew the rule of the previous dynasty six hundred years ago and ascended the throne, they felt that the word "Baiyin" was not very auspicious for their Bai family, so it was changed to the more auspicious word Jianye.
As the national capital, Jianye City is naturally the richest and most noble city in the Southern Jin Dynasty, the center of the city is the magnificent palace, the north side of the palace, there is a spacious street, the street is lined with luxurious mansions, it is the mansion of the seven great families in the national capital.
The Seven Great Families are the largest scholars in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and more than seventy percent of the officials in the Southern Jin Dynasty are from these seven families. As for the spiritual aspect... The cultivators who have been on the table in the Quannan Jin Dynasty are almost inseparable from these seven great families.
Among them, the Huo family, the Xue family, and the Wu family pay the most attention to officialdom, and the family relatives occupy a lot of positions in the temples of the Southern Jin Dynasty. The Lin family and the Cao family are better at doing business, and the commercial banks are all over the place, and they also fill half of the treasury. The Jing family and the Chu family have their own sects, the Chushan faction and the Jingmen have nearly a thousand children, and the clansmen are even more masters, and the guards of the generals and important figures in the army are naturally indispensable to the Jing and Chu families.
With the Bai clan of the royal family as the leader and the seven great families twisted into a rope to make the dragon body, the Southern Jin Dynasty has always been the most calm and difficult one among the four empires of the Xuanwu Continent.
The Northern Qin, Eastern Zhou, and Western Tang Dynasty all clashed with the Divine Court due to their respective wars, and friction continued, while the Southern Jin Dynasty did not move at all.
But I don't know if Emperor Bai Haochuan is living a comfortable life, but he wants to borrow the knife of the Divine Court to kill the sharp spirit of several great families. As an emperor, there is nothing wrong with having the idea of strengthening centralized power, but Bai Haochuan's actions are like using a very sharp knife that he can't control to cut the flesh that grows on his legs.
Because he felt that the piece of meat was superfluous, and he felt that the knife made him move.
The end result was a twitch of his hand, and the knife clicked and cut into his own artery...
Bai Haoyue, the prince who had endured for many years, directly suppressed all his worth and gambled, and the Tianxi Yellow Dragon Array bombarded Zhu Qingchi, the master of the Divine Court, and was very disgusted and embarrassed by Bai Haochuan's mentally retarded operation.
And the fierceness of the war in the Southern Jin Dynasty also surpassed that of the other three empires in an instant.
After that, Bai Haoyue put Emperor Bai Haochuan under house arrest. After all, Bai Haochuan is the rightful emperor, and there are still many foolish and loyal ministers in the court, if Bai Haoyue directly kills his brother, he is afraid of causing criticism, so he is put under house arrest in the name of "mediocre and needs to reflect", and he "temporarily acts on behalf of the monarch".
Of course, what outsiders don't know is that there are two reasons why Bai Haoyue didn't kill Bai Haochuan, one is that Xie Qi made a request, hoping to spare Bai Haochuan's life.
Xie Qi is the "guardian of the royal family" carefully cultivated by Bai Haoyue, he is calm and quiet, and acts decisively, because of the brainwashed indoctrination from childhood to adulthood, he has become the most staunch guard of the Bai family, and he obeys Bai Haoyue's words without complaints. It can be said that he is the most loyal watchdog of the Bai family, and he regards protecting the Bai family as his life's mission.
He was more favored by Bai Haoyue, so he was extremely loyal to Bai Haoyue, but he had also served Bai Haochuan for so many years, and Bai Haochuan was also a pure Bai bloodline, so Xie Qi, who had always been obedient, made a request to Bai Haoyue to spare Bai Haochuan's life.
Bai Haoyue sold Xie Qi a favor.
As for the other side of his heart, he didn't say it to Xie Qi, because no matter how loyal Xie Qi was, if he heard what Bai Haoyue thought in his heart, he would definitely feel despicable.
On that day, the Heavenly Cullinan Yellow Dragon Array bombarded Zhu Qingchi, the master of the Divine Court, and everything was arranged by the Huo family and Bai Haoyue together, and they officially sat in the formation hub
It was Bai Haochuan who opened the magic crystal cannon. At that time, Bai Haochuan was beaten by Zhu Qingchi and confined in the palace residence, it was the time of panic, and then he was coerced and lured by Leqi and brought to the formation hub, Bai Haochuan had no choice, opened the formation and killed Zhu Qingchi.
In case of... In case the traitor can't fight the Divine Court in the future, and is defeated by the Divine Court, and Bai Haoyue falls into the hands of the Divine Court, when the Divine Court asks him to settle old accounts, he can use Bai Haochuan as a scapegoat, accuse him of being the culprit who killed Zhu Qingchi, and hand it over to the Divine Court to deal with...
Anyway, when Bai Haochuan wanted to use the knife of the Divine Court to deal with several great families, he also had the intention of withdrawing Bai Haoyue to "thank the world", and with the operation of the "good brother" first, Bai Haoyue didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his plan at this time.
After all, the relationship between the royal brothers in the general story is such a "brother, friend and brother", it's not surprising.
But Bai Haoyue was cautious and cautious, and he still missed a move, ten days ago, Xie Qi accompanied him to meet several leaders of the traitors, and Bai Haochuan, who was under house arrest, actually ran out and escaped from the imperial city!
Although Bai Haochuan has a mentally retarded operation, since he is a righteous emperor, he must still have some staunch supporters, Ban Dang knows loyal ministers, and with the help of some people with other intentions, Bai Haochuan was rescued.
Then, the Jing family rebelled, and the Lin family also rebelled.
The Jing family is a group of ruthless and unrighteous things, Bai Haochuan has always been on guard, but the Jing family is too strong, and when the war is tight, he still failed to keep an eye on this group of white-eyed wolves, and asked them to fool the Lin family away by the way.
With the support of the Divine Court, these guys in the northeast of the Southern Jin Dynasty actually created a dragon chair for Bai Haochuan, wearing a dragon robe, and now Bai Haoyue has become a fake emperor with an unjustified name!
One side, with the support of the divine court, wants to "punish the thieves of the country and return them to the old capital", and the other side, with the help of the traitors, is "getting rid of the faint king and shaping the world", and the fight is a mess.
This is the current situation of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
And Jiang Ling came here.
And what he didn't know was that in addition to him, there were two other players who also came to the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty at this moment.
.....
"How's my father?" Chu Yuxun, who had just returned to the mansion, threw down the big bow on his shoulder and rushed into the house.
"Sister, be quiet." Chu Yuxun's younger brother Chu Jiaoyang made a silent gesture, and then whispered: "I haven't woken up yet, the second uncle helped me to go in just now, so don't disturb him now." ”
Chu Yuxun nodded, but he still felt relieved and leaned lightly to the door of the inner room, opened the crack in the door and took a look inside.
At this time, there was a tall man lying on the bed, it was Chu Yunqu, the head of the Chu family. Chu Yunqu, who was originally burly and strong, was actually emaciated at this time, and he was wrapped in a thick white cloth belt around his chest, and the blood oozing from the cloth belt, and the smell of blood and herbs that emanated from it also proved that there was a very serious wound there.
Chu Yuxun carefully closed the door and asked anxiously, "Didn't Your Majesty send an imperial doctor to see it?" Still can't heal the father? ”
Chu Jiaoyang shook his head gloomily, and said: "The imperial doctor said that the cold qi enters the body and invades the heart and lungs, so it can only be recuperated slowly, and it is necessary to rely on my father's own qi and blood to dispel the cold qi, and at most occasionally cross some thoughts to help my father channel the meridians." If you are in a hurry to channel it through external forces, it may spread the cold and cause more damage. Unless..."
Chu Yuxun asked eagerly, "Unless what?" ”
"Unless you are a cultivator who is extremely proficient in the Jing Family's Autumn Killing Knife, you can draw out the cold qi that enters the body." Chu Jiaoyang's eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head and said: "But you know, the Jing family has always practiced the sword first and then the sword, and the autumn killing knife method is regarded as a forbidden body by the Jing family even more than the ruthless sword, and it is impossible for outsiders to learn it, even if they have practiced the autumn killing knife in the Jing Sect, they can't exceed the number of hands." ”
"This damn Jing family!" clear
Yu Xun gritted his teeth, and his hand clicked.
At this time, Chu Yuxun looked at the tall man standing on the side, and asked, "Even you can't do it?" ”
"There are several pills I have on me, but the imperial doctor said that they can't be used, or wait a few days, and I'll find some pills." The sword-eyed, man-haired man replied.
"If you Skywalkers want to come to the world again, it will take half a month later, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that long." Chu Yuxun was worried about his father's safety, but he couldn't do anything, and he was anxious. Then she looked at the Sky Walker, and said with some apologies: "Jiang Kai, I know that your time is precious, but now that my father is seriously injured, I really don't care about anything else. ”
"Don't treat me like an outsider." Chu Jiangkai responded, and said with a bit of murderous aura: "Otherwise, we will kill the Jing family's station, catch a Xuanji master and come back, and let him heal the head of the family." ”
Chu Yuxun shook his head and said: "Not to mention that the Jing family has retreated to the realm controlled by the Divine Court, it will be difficult for us to start at all, even if we can catch the people of the Jing family, where can we dare to let him treat my father." ”
"If he refuses, I will kill him alive." Chu Jiangkai opened his mouth indifferently, and the murderous intent in his tone showed that he would do what he said.
Chu Jiaoyang also knew what kind of temper this person had, and hurriedly persuaded: "Jiang Kai, the war is imminent now, it is not our Chu family's own business, even if we care about my father's safety, but it is not good to act rashly now." ”
"I have long seen that the Jing family is a bunch of garbage things, they dared to defect and hurt the head of the family! I want to chop this bunch of garbage alive! Chu Jiangkai has a rough temperament and is unruly, but as a disciple of the Chu Shan faction, he has received a lot of favors from the Chu family, and he really regards the Chu family as his own family from the bottom of his heart, but when he came back this time, he saw that the head of the family was seriously injured, and he was already angry, and gritted his teeth and said: "I can't stay too long, when will I attack?" ”
"I've contacted Commander Leqi, and I'm now gathering people." Chu Yuxun said: "Your Majesty has already mobilized the soldiers and horses of the six towns to Baqiu City yesterday, ready to attack north at any time. ”
"So you're going to be able to kill it right away?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Chu Jiangkai's mouth, and he said with a bit of bloodlust in his eyes: "I can't help it." ”
Chu Yuxun glanced at him, hesitated slightly, and still asked with concern: "Is the blood qi in your body not very controlled?" ”
"No, I'm fine, this flesh is too suitable for me." Chu Jiangkai shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't hurt my own people, and I don't have to worry that I will lose my mind, in the eyes of the enemy, I have always been a brutal beast." ”
Chu Yuxun nodded, but he was still a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but question whether it was a wise decision for the second uncle to agree to pass on the Blood Fury Technique to Chu Jiang.
According to the rules of the Chu family, you can't practice the art of blood anger below the Xuan Ji, so as not to be unable to control yourself and hurt your divine sense.
But Chu Jiangkai looks like this, can he really control it?
If Huang Lie is still here, shouldn't he also learn the art of blood rage?
Chu Yuxun was anxious in her heart, and her mind was uncontrollable, she hurriedly shook her head, threw these thoughts out of her mind, and prepared to arrange the next things.
At this time, a guest from the Chu family ran into the door and reported loudly: "There is a Skywalker visiting. ”
"Oh?"
"Huh?"
Chu Yuxun and Chu Jiangkai glanced at each other.
"What's your name?"
"He said his name was Jiang Ling."
"Jiang Ling!?" Chu Jiangkai's eyes suddenly lit up with a fierce light, his fists clenched unconsciously, and he said with a little excitement: "I wanted to meet him a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to come to the door?" ”
