Chapter Twenty-Five: The Flower and the Sword

When Xia Han came to Wind City, it was just dawn.

The newborn sunlight shone golden on the stone bricks of the city wall, and Wujing stood at the gate of the city, his face was the same as usual, and he didn't seem to be angry because of Xia Han's escape.

"And then."

He threw over a small bottle, Xia Han reached out to catch it, and then picked it up and looked at it in the sun: "What is this?" ”

"Medicine: I want you to sprinkle this bottle of medicine on Xia Ming's wound."

Xia Ming's wound? - Xia Han almost didn't react, so the king is not dead yet? Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand again, Xia Han secretly shuddered, with his understanding of Wujing, this bottle was mostly poison, and he sprinkled the poison on the king's wound, was this to let Xia Han die?

"Are you sure it's a healing potion?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you give it to him yourself"

"Less nonsense." Wujing glared at Xia Han coldly: "If you don't want to die, do as I say, Xia Ming is lying in the City Lord's Mansion, and if you go, someone will naturally take you to see him." ”

He turned and flicked his cloak and walked away in a very dashing manner.

"Cut!" Xia Han pursed his lips, and then took the medicine bottle to the city lord's mansion, and sure enough, the journey was incredible, he walked into the king's bedroom under the guidance of the maid, and then saw Xia Ming lying on the bed sickly.

He was wrapped in several circles of bandages on his chest, his lips were pale and pale, and his injuries were not light.

"I'll come and give you medicine as instructed by Wujing." Xia Han opened his mouth and put aside that he had nothing to do with the potion, but Xia Ming looked at him coldly: "I know, you sit down first." ”

Xia Han sat quietly on the side, staring at the bandages, gloating in his heart about Xia Ming's injury.

"Xia Han, I want to talk to you"

Xia Ming reclined down, breathing in the incense in the air, and said amazingly: "I will stay here in the future to stop those monsters from advancing, and I don't plan to kill you." ”

Xia Han was stunned.

Was this king hacked into an idiot by the orcs, how did he suddenly change after a war. With his caution, he saw that the guy who couldn't win the fight should run away with his ass urine, so how could he stay here? And he also said that he would not kill Xia Han

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep last night and my ears may have tinnitus, can you say it again?"

Xia Han smiled awkwardly.

"You boy!!" Xia Ming's eyes widened, and then a hissing sound caused the pain of the wound, he gasped a few times, and then said: "I can't abandon the people here, because this is the ancestral training of the Xia family, I can't compare to my brother, but I can't forget this group training!" ”

"Xia Han, the foreign enemy is current, I don't care where you go in the future, but I want you to listen to me finish, this is the history that the Xia clan must know!"

Xia Ming looked excited, Xia Han looked at this sick king and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: So far, what else does he want to say? History - What does history have to do with the present?

"I think you should have heard of the history of the founding of the Jade Empire, but whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, today I will tell you the history of the royal family's inheritance" Xia Ming sighed after seeing Xia Han calm down: "The most important thing is that a thousand years ago, our Xia clan did not step into this land with glory, but left the country with humiliation. ”

Xia Han's eyes widened, this was the first time he had heard of it.

Xia Ming's mouth is telling a history that is completely different from folklore.

After the collapse of the Qilin Empire, the first state of mankind, the territory was governed separately by the four royal families, and after centuries of steady development, they began the war. Over time, the Four Royals gradually discovered that the number 'four' was a contradictory number.

The most stable form of national development, mutual containment, and even war-inducing is the 'three'. So they started a long war for thousands of years in order to reduce one surname, and the final loser was Xia.

A thousand years ago, the Xia clan was all dead, and only a nine-year-old boy escaped with the protection of a maid. He wandered around the Suzaku Continent, and with his young wisdom and kindness, he collected a large number of refugees who had been displaced by the war.

However, as his ranks grew stronger, other kingdoms took notice of the rising power. The boy had to propose to leave the continent with the people, and in the final decision, nearly eighty percent of the refugees chose to follow him, risking death and torrential rain to come to the Qilin Continent.

These people entered the mainland in the most difficult times, but fortunately they gained the friendship and help of the Jingxue clan to prosper in this land. At that time, the war on the Suzaku Continent had not stopped, and more refugees came to this land to open up the wasteland and establish the Emerald Empire.

The roots of the Emerald Empire were formed by refugees, and the banner of the empire was flowers and swords. The sword is a must-have emblem for the four royal families, and the flower symbolizes hope. When people first crossed the snow-capped mountains and entered the interior of the Qilin Mainland, the first thing they saw was the boundless sea of flowers under the rising sun

That sea of flowers is now the Dawn Grassland, and it only appears once every 20 years. Xia depicts the flag as a flower and a sword: hope and war, to remind future generations of the history behind the flower of the kingdom.

"Those who abandon the people cannot become kings, this is our ancestral teaching, every king must stand on the front line, your father is like this, and I must do the same" In fact, Xia Ming didn't want to stay in this dangerous place at all, but he couldn't plaster the crown.

Such a complicated background, Xia Han pulled his mouth, he didn't expect the things behind him to be so complicated, but what does it matter to him if he says so much?

"I'm done, then I'll give you medicine first!" After Xia Ming stopped, Xia Han approached him and began to open his bandages.

Xia Ming watched his movements silently, and suddenly said, "The guardian is dead, right?" ”

Xia Han's hand shook, and he was suddenly a little nervous, how did he know.

"There is a special contractual connection between the guardian and the king, every time the king is in danger, he can foresee it in advance and rush over, this time he didn't come back for so long, he can only die" Xia Ming said lightly, his appearance did not seem to be very lost.

"The Gu clan is not a blood lineage, the guardian is not related by blood, and whoever becomes a guardian will have an ancient surname" Xia Han continued his words, and then explained the reason why there was no loss - the guardian did not break the inheritance.

Each Guardian will choose a few people to leave markers during their lifetime, and only the Guardian himself will know if these marks do not occur. When a Guardian dies, when the time comes, one of these markers will accept the Guardian's memories and become the new Guardian.

"The time is ripe?"

"Yes, that's hard to describe, I'll give you an example, if I die in this war, then the one who is loyal to you or Xia Yun's most fanatical one who keeps the mark, he will become the new guardian."

Xia Ming glanced at Xia Han's face and sneered: "Guardians are the guardians of royal power, and they are qualified to choose the true leader of the empire. Of course, they will also be loyal to the chosen king for life, unless their king is sincere to another king."

Xia Han had just opened all the bandages, but he was stunned by Xia Ming's words.

Does he mean that the person to whom the new Guardian is loyal is the King? So one of the hidden conditions of the plot 'Lord of Twilight' should be to make those who are loyal to him become guardians? What an international joke!

The dead guardian was obviously satisfied with Xia Yun, and the marks he left behind must have been on the people around Xia Yun. Xia Han may not have left any of them, or left them to the people who hated him the most.

And becoming a guardian also requires fanatical allegiance, Xia Han himself has no subordinates, and there are very few people in contact, and it is impossible to gain the fanatical allegiance of others in a short period of time!

No matter what aspect it is, Xia Han is not qualified to compare with Xia Yun. The legendary plot of A-level difficulty, King of Dusk, is simply an impossible plot to complete.

Xia Han was annoyed, uncorked the bottle with one hand, and poured the potion into Xia Ming's bloody wound.

"Ahhh

Hearing the screams, Xia Han began to curse: [Die, die, die! However, no matter how Xia Han cursed, this potion turned out to be a real medicine!

When did Wujing have such a good heart?

After wrapping Xia Ming's bandage back, Xia Han found Wujing with a bad face.

"You seem to wonder why I sent the real medicine?"

No vitex surface does not change color.

"Yes."

This kind of philanthropic act is not at all in line with Wujing's bad character.

"Can you get in on fake medicine? And he is necessary. Wu Jing glanced at Xia Han and said in an indifferent tone: "This country lost its unity nine years ago, as soon as the king leaves here, the nobles of other territories will easily refuse to send troops to support. And fortunately, although he was not the king of Renming, he still stayed."

This is also a good thing in his opinion, after all, after the end of Blastwind City, the Yulin Mountain Range and Jade City will also be exposed to the beast clan

In Wujing's heart, the king is a victim who must stand in the way. The more the strength of those alien races is weakened in the Wind Grassland, the better, and in short, he is still acting for his own interests.

Xia Han was not stupid, and immediately understood his plan.

However, there was still a place where he did not understand: "Why did the king suddenly say that he would not kill me?" ”

His conversation with Xia Ming did not involve this matter, the history of the empire and the inheritance method of the guardians had nothing to do with Xia Han himself, Xia Han was not good at asking directly, but he thought that Wujing would definitely know the information he did not know.

Sure enough, Wu Jing immediately showed a mocking smile after hearing this question: "This is not what he meant, but the meaning of the woman who usurped the throne of the queen next to the two kings." ”

"If you want to ask, just ask her, she's also in Windwind."

The woman on the queen's throne, Xia Han had a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous crown in his mind.

Xia Yun's biological mother, the woman who called Xia Han a bane when he was a baby - why did she let Xia Han go.

Things are getting weirder.
