- Qin Chu, Yancheng.

A baby ant returning from foraging runs through the fine grass, and with the excitement of sending food information back to the anthill, it keeps crawling.

The ant is still the same one it was a few weeks ago, but it's no longer lost.

The smell of blood in the air had long since dissipated, and the blood that flowed in the river had long since dried up, leaving only the black brown solidified in the earth, and the city that trembled in the flames of the beacon fire had of course long since fallen silent, but the holes in the city walls still solidified the traces of the outbreak of war.

But fortunately, the war is over, the air is full of the fresh smell of green grass, and the little ants can find a home naturally and happily, and will not get lost again.

However, those who were lost in the war will never be able to return home.

More than ten days have passed, and Yancheng, which has been conquered by the Bai Qi army, has fallen silent, so silent that there are not even people.

Liu Bang had a calm face, stood under the broken city gate that was half blown up, and was silent for a moment before raising his feet and walking in.

Stepping into the city, it is the familiar dead silence accompanied by a cold wind blowing in your face.

This is the fifth city that Liu Bang has walked through, and it is still so miserable that there are few people. The huge city is filled with the smell of emptiness, there is no trace, there is no hustle and bustle, there are no normal adults at all, and there are only old people and children on the streets and alleys!

When Liu Bang received Xiang Yu's urgent letter and rushed to Longshun City, and heard with his own ears the real information that Han Xin had brought back from the inner country after going through hardships, his first reaction was shock, and he was shocked deeply!

Although he expected that the shadow on the situation might be related to Ying Zheng, he really didn't expect that Ying Zheng would seal him and Xiang Yu in the border city for three years in the name of protecting the king!

Moreover, during this period of time, he has done all kinds of intolerable acts on the politics, society, and people's livelihood of the country!

Therefore, without a trace of hesitation, Liu Bang immediately rushed to the mainland in person.

On the way here, he actually encountered the best resistance of the army ambushed at the foot of Yuanzi Mountain, but they naturally couldn't stop Liu Bang, the protector of a country, Liu Bang effortlessly broke through the interception of the ambush and stepped into the inner country that he hadn't seen for three years.

The blockade set up under Yuanzi Mountain had already made Liu Bang believe what Han Xin said, and it was inevitable that he would be extremely cold to the emperor, but what really shocked Liu Bang was that the five cities he passed through were all the same bleak and dead silence.

There are no adult men and women in the huge cities, only the old people and children can be seen, and the eyes of those old people and children are hidden with unspeakable sadness.

What's even more terrifying is that there are still a lot of traces of tragic war in some cities, and it is not difficult to imagine that this is the ultimate consequence of those who have a sense of resistance to resist the winning government......

Three years! For more than 1,000 days, they lived in the information blockade of Yingzheng for three years, and they didn't even notice the slightest problem.

However, in the past three years, without their knowledge of Liao, Yingzheng has turned this harmonious and peaceful thousand-year-old country upside down.

A huge sense of guilt and guilt is surging in Liu Bang's heart, and there is no doubt that they are responsible for all this!

A seven or eight-year-old boy appeared in front of Liu Bang, he ran from the other end of the street with a stiff steamed bun in his hand, looking panicked, but when he saw Liu Bang standing in front of him in a noble dress, he was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Liu Bang looked at the child who fell in front of him, the child's face was covered with black mud marks, and the clothes on his body were dirty, it looked like this child was very dirty - yes, his parents are gone, who can take him to take a bath and help him change his clothes? Who can cook for him and give him a normal life?

Liu Bang looked at the dirty child with compassion in his eyes, slowly stretched out his hand to him, and said gently: "Get up, little friend." ”

And the child saw Liu Bang stretching out his hand to him, but he jumped up in fright, only to see him tremblingly staring at the jade plate with the identity of "King Han" on Liu Bang's waist, and exclaimed in fear, "Officers and soldiers!" Soldiers! The people of the court have come to arrest people again!! ”

While screaming in panic, the child fled from Liu Bang in a hurry, at this time, a group of children chased out at the end of the street, it seemed that they wanted to grab the steamed buns that had been stiff in the hands of the child before, but when they heard the child screaming "officers and soldiers" in his mouth, they all showed the same fear, fled in panic, and didn't even dare to look back at Liu Bang, who was still standing in place and stretched out his hands.

"Misfortune for the country! Misfortune for the people! Liu Bang stared at his eyes and sighed bitterly in his heart.

A big country, becoming like this, he Liu Bang has an unshirkable responsibility! He must bring justice back to a kingdom that has existed for thousands of years!

Liu Bang opened his eyes, and his lilac pupils were full of determination and solemnity.

He took out a bead-shaped red jade from his body, pinched it with two fingers, and then focused his eyes on the strange jade.

Liu Bang doesn't want to go any further, and he doesn't need to go any further, the entire Qin Chu is now this miserable scene - he wants to face the mastermind behind all this!

Suddenly, a strange crimson light surged from the jade, as if the tide had overflowed Liu Bang's body. In the immediate aftermath of this, the crimson light distorted the surrounding light, and the light and dark chaos in an area were the same color, and in this chaos of light and darkness, the crimson light, along with Liu Bang, all disappeared out of thin air.

——The back gate of the mausoleum

"Actually...... Actually broke the city gate with one punch! Daji said in shock as she widened her eyes.

"Who the hell is he......" Arthur frowned heavily, also in shock.

Zhong Wuyan stared at the man standing under the broken city gate in shock, and said in a deep voice: "Overlord of Chu - Xiang Yu!" ”

The majestic man with a lion's hair and blue hair was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, one of the two great protectors of Qin and Chu!!

Daji, Arthur, Zhong Wuyan, and Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan on the other side, each of them stared at the man who broke into the city with a domineering and powerful look in shock.

Xiang Yu stood proudly under the city gate, not saying a word, but the domineering aura he exuded and the anger in his eyes had already said everything he needed to say. He stared at Arthur and the others standing in place from a distance, the fist that had just broken through the city gate clenched subconsciously.

"He is Xiang Yu......" Arthur has just joined the Yingzheng forces, and many of the strong men of Qin and Chu have never seen it, but despite this, he has heard of the reputation of some people, such as Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu in front of him.

He also knew all kinds of targets against Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in Yingzheng's plan, and now that Xiang Yu suddenly appeared here, he also sent a hundred beast legions to attack the city - the purpose was already obvious - Arthur couldn't even care about how Xiang Yu bypassed the only pass of Lingcheng and broke through the back gate directly, he only knew that at this moment, they had one more enemy!

"Dare to ask the King of Chu, why did he appear in the mausoleum city......" After knowing the identity of the person who came, Arthur took the lead, and they still followed the etiquette and greeted Xiang Yu.

"There's no need to pretend...... Yingzheng's lackeys! Xiang Yu's majestic voice resounded in the wide ruins, "I am bound to settle the accounts of the conspiracy in the past three years. ”

"Today, I'm going to kill you three helpers first!"

Sure enough, the comer was not good.

Facing Xiang Yu's strong domineering, Arthur, Zhong Wuyan and Daji didn't dare to speak out. And Zhang Lianghua Mulan on the side saw Xiang Yu suddenly appear, the situation changed drastically, and she didn't say much, just stood aside and watched silently.

"How strong is he......" Arthur asked in a low voice to Zhong Wuyan beside him, Arthur still knew very little about this enemy who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Huh! How strong? Zhong Wuyan always stared at Xiang Yu with her eyes open, there was real jealousy in her eyes, and when she heard Arthur's question at this moment, she couldn't help but sneer, "Qin Chu is the strongest!" ”

"If you think about Emperor Yingzheng, he has already ascended the throne and has so much power, and the resistance of so many people in the whole country is not enough to make him hesitate - but he has painstakingly operated such a big scam just because of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, think about this, you can know that Emperor Yingzheng is jealous of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang - on the Qin Chu spectrum in our majesty's heart, Xiang Yu is definitely among the strongest Qin Chu!"

Feeling the change in Zhong Wuyan's expression at this time, coupled with her slightly exaggerated but extremely serious description, Arthur could already imagine the horror of Xiang Yu's strength, and then again, Xiang Yu's domineering roar just now forcibly interrupted his and Zhong Wuyan's awakening! What a terrifying feat!

"But now Xiang Yu has appeared in Lingcheng, and he has brought a hundred beast legions to attack the city—I'm afraid it's ......," Arthur said in a suppressed voice.

"I'm afraid he already knows everything......" Zhong Wuyan paused, and also said in a suppressed voice, "Qin Chu's situation is going to be chaotic......"

"Then what are we going to do now......" Listening to the conversation between the two, Daji on the side subconsciously asked.

"Run!" Zhong Wuyan said without thinking about it, "Do you still want to fight?" Zhang Liang and Hua Mulan alone are enough for us to deal with, and now Xiang Yu has suddenly appeared - he can fucking kill the three of us! ”

Arthur was silent, and the current situation was probably the only way to go.

"Have you discussed enough?" Xiang Yu's majestic voice came again, and there was an invisible domineering aura in his voice, which made the air around him become a little more solemn.

Arthur and the others glanced at Xiang Yu from a distance, and then each took out a bead-shaped red jade from his arms.

"Hmph, the power of the overlord of Chu, how dare I challenge ...... with all my might" Arthur said to Xiang Yu, who was domineering, "Let's take the first step and meet again in the future!" ”

When Xiang Yu saw the red jade they took out in their hands, his eyes changed slightly.

Then, without warning, a crimson light poured out from the jade in the hands of Arthur, Zhong Wuyan, and Daji, respectively, melting the three of them into the red light, and then, the light and darkness were distorted, and the scene was chaotic - however, it was not until this time that Arthur suddenly thought of something important, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, we have escaped, what will happen to the army in the city?" ”

"This ......" is such an urgent situation, Zhong Wuyan really wants to greet him, "You can't protect yourself", at this time, who can take care of a few soldiers?

But Zhong Wuyan couldn't speak, something in her head blocked her selfish concept, and even made her feel a little sad, because they could only escape by themselves, and they couldn't take their men with them...... But in the end, Zhong Wuyan could only say comfortingly, "Don't worry, Xiang Yu values affection, as long as he doesn't resist, he won't ...... them badly."

In an instant, the red light dissipated, and the three disappeared!

"Return to the Origin Order!" Hua Mulan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said, "Is this Qin Chu's return order?" ”

"Well, it's Qin Chu's return order." Xiang Yu said in a deep voice. Seeing that the three of them had fled, Xiang Yu didn't make any extra moves, just stood still in place, "Now, they have returned to Xianyang Palace." ”

"Return to the Origin Order...... It turns out that this is the Returning Order, a strange thing that is said to contain the secret of space. Zhang Liang said thoughtfully.

The Origin Spirit Land and the Returning Origin Order are the only existences in the Three Realms that contain the power of space, and have been known as divine objects since ancient times.

Legend has it that each of the three kingdoms in the Three Realms has its own Origin Spiritual Land, which is of different shapes and sizes, and the only thing in common is that there is a shallow spring water that exudes the breath of life in it, just like a sacred spring pool. And it is such a spring pool, but it contains the secret of space power.

Each of the different Origin Spiritual Lands has its own Return Order. As long as the person holding the Origin Order can trigger the dimensional connection with the Origin Spirit Land, attracting the power of space, allowing the holder to instantly cross the space and directly travel back to the Origin Spirit Land from any place on the Three Realms.

And the origin spiritual land of each country is generally in its royal palace, which is closely protected by the highest level of power of a country, and as for the artifact-like return order, it is closely monitored by various countries and cannot be leaked easily.

Legend has it that the existence of the Origin Spirit Land and the Returning Order is to guide people who are lost and chaotic in the world to return home. But in fact, they have become a force that governments in all countries fear and desire.
