Chapter 18, Brotherly Farewell
in the Royal Palace.
The emperor and Jiang Xiong sat opposite each other, unexpectedly, His Majesty the Emperor didn't talk about anything, just spread out the chessboard, and the two played chess,
And this time, it's three rounds, and it's over for a long time!
His Majesty the Emperor tonight seemed to have some differences from ordinary emperors, but Jiang Xiong faintly felt that it seemed that the person sitting in front of him at the moment was not the king of that country, but like a cordial friend.
Although so, as a monarch and minister, he naturally has the way of a monarch and a minister, Jiang Xiong naturally put some water without leaving a trace in the first game, otherwise with his chess skills, even if His Majesty the Emperor tried his best, he would not be able to win a game.
In the first game, the emperor narrowly won!
The chess game is like a battlefield, changing rapidly, in the second game, the two entered the state slightly, Jiang Xiong seemed to have returned to the battlefield of decades ago, and the princes of the world, thousands of troops and horses!
The battlefield full of blood and fire, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the impact of the rain of arrows like falling rain was that thousands of soldiers fell to the ground, the shield array was formed, and the Changge formation blocked the impact of the war horses.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to inadvertently whisper: "The green mountains are still there, why win or lose?"
This seemingly unintentional murmur was heard in Jiang Xiong's ears, and it was suddenly like thunder!
Think back then.
Before the establishment of the Great Qi State, the war continued, and the situation faced by the emperor at that time was almost at the end of the road, whenever there was a situation that was not optimistic, the emperor at that time said to Jiang Xiong, who was in love with his brother: "The green mountains are still there, why are you afraid of winning or losing?"
The predecessor of the Great Qi was the Great Zhou Dynasty, which ruled the Cangyu for countless years, but then due to the mediocrity of the monarch and the extreme desire for luxury, the royal family withered and gradually declined. At the same time, the princes of all walks of life have been growing in secret, and finally seven extremely powerful vassal states have emerged. and quite a few weak vassal states.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was still a small prince in a remote area, the Marquis of Qi, Jiang Xiong, was only an unwilling general of the Great Zhou court, after the Great Zhou clan was broken by the princes of the Seven Kingdoms. The world is in the midst of continuous war.
The two of them were like-minded and became brothers in a flight, and the Qi State at that time was among the vassal states, belonging to a weak country, almost at the bottom of the ranking, and naturally not the opponent of those powerful countries.
When the heroes competed for hegemony, the emperor at that time patted Jiang Xiong's shoulder and encouraged: "The green mountains are still there, why are you afraid of winning or losing?"
It is this sentence that often sounds, accompanied by Jiang Xiong, who was unwilling and young at the time, from thousands of difficulties and dangers, after experiencing countless setbacks, he finally established the Great Qi State step by step. And then in the past few decades, he has continued to fight and created today's Great Qi!
At that time, the two were certainly divided between the top and bottom, but more importantly, even if the landslide and the ground cracked, it was also a brotherhood that could not be destroyed.
Thinking back then, Jiang Xiong, the god of war, and Yang Sui, the domineering monarch, joined hands to fight and swept through the countries of the Cangyu Domain, how high-spirited they were!
At that time, the two played against each other and stayed up all night. Just like tonight.
At that time, Emperor Yang Sui lost nine times in ten games, but he never got tired of it.
At that time, the two were inseparable, eating at the same table and sleeping in the same tent.
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Xiong's heart felt sour, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, have these become a thing of the past.
Could it be that since ancient times, the Heavenly Family has been ruthless, and there is no exception. My big brother Yang Sui?
That's it, since it's the last goodbye, then let's let go of our hands and feet and say goodbye in this chess game!
Don't you know, the emperor on the other side also sighed in his heart, is this the last game of chess for my two brothers? How many years?
That's it, today, let me, a lonely person, let go of my identity as an emperor!
The mentality of the two changed suddenly, Jiang Xiong fell with one word, and the chess game suddenly changed!
A moment ago, the momentum was equal, this son fell, and the layout of the emperor's group suddenly disrupted the pace, and then, step by step, he was defeated, and finally lost all the money.
"Come again, I don't believe I can't kill you!"
At this time, the emperor completely lost his imperial majesty, and seemed to be just an ordinary person who lost a game of chess and became angry and angry, and fought for it.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiong wanted to cry sadly, once upon a time, the person opposite also lost the chess, all kinds of tricks and did not admit it, and he did not hesitate to pester him to play another game!
And he is also willing to deliberately release the water to let him win a game, looking at his proud appearance, his heart is infinitely warm.
In the third game, the two seemed to have returned to the identities of the unambitious generals and weak princes who were still oppressed back then, and they killed selflessly.
When the emperor's last son fell, there were not many pieces left on the chessboard.
Jiang Xiong exhaled lightly: "This game, it's over!"
The emperor also exhaled: "Yes." In these years, I drew with you for the first time, in fact, I have won chess games before, I know, it was all your deliberate concession. ”
"If you know, why bother. ”
Jiang Xiong picked up the wine jug prepared by the emperor last night next to him, and poured a sip of wine violently, which was vaguely visible, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, slowly flowing down his cheek.
This heroic tear, dripping to the ground, was instantly sucked away by the expensive mink carpet of mink, and turned into nothing, just like something worth remembering, it became a thing of the past.
On this night, the two brothers relived the past!
This night, maybe the sky will change as soon as it dawns!
No matter how you don't want it to dawn, this day is bright after all!
Back then, after all, it was just that year!
It's like the night, even if it will come again, it will never be the night again!
"Big brother, I'm tired, I want to quit this court, and watch Han'er marry a wife and have children for the rest of my life, and be an ordinary person. Jiang Xiong suddenly raised his head, his eyes were blazing, he looked at the emperor expectantly, and said seriously.
Here and now, these years have been retreating step by step, and what the Great Qi God of War has been thinking about is still retreating!
Just for the word "righteousness"!
The emperor was terrified, and he hated his actions in his heart, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, yes, he was very jealous of the person in front of him, and even planned to kill him.
I am afraid that he will threaten the country that he has worked so hard to get, and for the sake of other people's promises, he will push him into the abyss!
Brother of the past and present, but when he said this, even though he had already made a decision, there was an inexplicable loss in his heart, why?
His Majesty the Emperor was about to speak, when the hurried voice of the number one eunuch next to him came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, great joy!
"What's the matter, Jiang Hou is still here, shouting so much, what kind of system!"
The old eunuch Wang, who had followed the emperor for many years, blushed, and immediately saluted the two of them, handing over the battle report sent to the capital by Datong City overnight!
The emperor just glanced at this battle report, and his face showed a hint of joy.
In Datong City, the Yan Lion Army repelled the demon beast army, and the demon beast army retreated fifty miles!
He felt a pang in his heart, how could he not understand what was going on! Is it finally time for him to choose?
If he didn't make up his mind, with the strength of the Great Qi Kingdom, without the help of those powerful beings, this army of demon beasts would be able to drive straight into the capital and trample on the capital!
Therefore, it is only a fifty miles back! Those beings can make the demon beast army retreat, and they can naturally let it go forward!
He didn't know that the retreat of the demon beast army, in addition to the participation of those people from the sect, was also the order of one person and the order of one woman.
At this moment, in the Tianshou Mountains.
The figure of a woman in a snow-white dress has a cold temperament. Like a fairy's back, she stands alone on the top of a towering mountain.
Behind her, there is a woman with a pair of wings, this woman looks powerful, very terrifying, but she is very respectful of the woman in the snow-white dress.
"Yingzun, the army of demon beasts, it's not attacking the city, stand back for the time being, and withdraw tomorrow!"
The cold woman said.
"Yes, my lord!" the winged woman said respectfully, and then, the wings behind her flickered and disappeared in place.
At this time, the cold woman turned around, and it was the ancient demon woman who had met Jiang Han before!
And His Majesty the Emperor, who still doesn't know why, is on fire in his heart at this moment.
Putting aside these crises, the temptation to break through the Yuan Dan Realm and become the co-master of the Cangyu is not small!
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Hou, this matter will not be said again in the future, I can't do anything with you, you go back to the house, I still have important things!"
A gloomy look flowed in Jiang Xiong's eyes.
Turned around and left the palace.
This is a sad place for him!
After Jiang Xiong left, His Majesty the Emperor sat down and touched the warm jade chessboard placed on the tables and chairs made of rare and famous wood.
He muttered to himself: "The chessboard back then was only made of bluestone, but now it has become a warm jade, since the chessboard can be changed, how can people's hearts not change?
After a long time, the look in his eyes gradually turned into a ruthless color, and then he turned around and pulled out a very powerful long sword that was placed on a very delicate sword shelf.
Dance in the temple. After completing a few swordsmanship, his right hand formed a knife-like shape, and slashed fiercely towards the sharp and tough blade!
"Zheng!" and a peerless sword was broken in two.
Dawn outside the window. The reflection was broken, and the sword that was about to fall on the carpet could be vaguely seen on it, and there was a word, which was the word "ginger".
Hou Mansion, Jiang Han also received news from Shangguan Xiushan.
Chase City, the beast tide retreats fifty miles! The defenders of Chase City blend in with mysterious masters and defeat the beast tide!
Jiang Han was not surprised at all about this matter, since the mysterious woman had said that she had withdrawn from the army in the past few days, it would naturally count, and now the second day had passed.
And the mysterious master, not surprisingly. It is the handiwork of the sect behind the royal family.
Repelling the beast tide, hum, it's really a shame, if the mysterious woman is willing, just a few Yuan Dan realms can be destroyed!
It seems that if it is not expected. The owner of the token in Jiang Han's hand is about to appear!
The storm is finally coming!
