636 The Past of the Flame Sage
The footsteps of the visitors were calm, powerful, and high, with a natural confidence and arrogance.
If it weren't for the noble status, I wouldn't have been able to take such a step!
Chen Dong quickly "looked" towards the source of the sound.
Although it was dark all around, he could hear the sound and know where people were.
In such a dark environment, the other party walked so smoothly, obviously knowing the terrain very well.
The footsteps stopped, and the other party stood outside the fence.
Immediately, a faint light ignited.
Chen Dong didn't see the light for a long time, even if the light source was weak, it still stinged his eyes.
Chen Dong instinctively turned his face to the side, and it took a long time for him to slowly get used to it, and he looked towards the light.
It was a candle.
Yan Sheng held a candle in his hand, standing behind the fence, looking at Chen Dong calmly.
Chen Dong rushed forward, grasping the railing with both hands, staring at Yan Sheng.
The two looked at each other without saying a word.
One angry, one calm.
One is fierce, and the other is calm.
I don't know how long it took for Yan Sheng to say slowly: "Why did you betray me? β
"What do you say?" Chen Dong sneered: "You usurped the throne of the Heavenly Monarch, suppressed the martial arts people, sent Hou Jimo to hunt me down, put my mother under house arrest in the Holy Palace, and forced me to do things for youβshouldn't you ask, why didn't you betray you?" β
Yan Sheng was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "I want to tell you a story." β
Chen Dong was stunned, not knowing what story Yan Sheng was telling at this time.
But Yan Sheng had already spoken.
"More than twenty years ago - I don't remember more than twenty years, maybe twenty-one years, maybe twenty-two years - at that time, it was still the reign of the Heavenly Monarch, you should not have been born yet, I don't know much about that time."
"Understood." Chen Dong said: "Although I have not experienced it, I have learned it from history books. β
"Oh? Let's talk about it. β
"At that time, although the people of the Yanxia Continent lived in poverty, their food and clothing were very average, there were no high-rise buildings, no cars, but people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their spirit was rich."
"That's just a faΓ§ade." Yan Sheng said: "The actual situation is that because the Heavenly Monarch attaches great importance to force and ignores science and technology, a wave of martial arts training has been set off from top to bottom, and the economy has developed very badly. At the same time, the economies of other continents are taking off, science and technology are also changing with each passing day, and the living standards of the people are much higher than ours. β
Chen Dong fell silent.
Because that's true, it's really written in the history books.
Yan Sheng continued: "The Yan Dynasty has been founded for hundreds of years, and it has always been based on martial arts. But in those days, it was enough to have force, enough to stand firm in this world and not be invaded by other continents! However, in modern times, with the rapid development of science and technology, all kinds of thermal weapons have blossomed everywhere. The so-called master, can you block the gun? Can you block the gun, can you block the gun? Can you block artillery, bombs, missiles, and nuclear bombs? β
Chen Dong continued to be silent.
As a master, he knows the shortcomings of those who practice martial arts.
Yan Sheng sighed, and then said: "At that time, I advised the Heavenly Monarch, saying that it would not work if it continued like this, if the technology could not keep up, it would be useless to practice force no matter how good it was. When other people's missiles bombarded you, did you use the flesh of a group of masters to block them? Tianjun was stubborn and self-serving, saying that the Yan Dynasty had not come over like this for hundreds of years? I said that the times are different, and if this continues, the hot summer will be ruined in your hands. But he still didn't listen, saying that what happened to the missile, wasn't it also sent by people, but we have masters, can't we just kill people? is still addicted to martial arts every day, or he will go to the rivers and lakes to find his friends to drink and have fun......"
"And then you usurped his place?" Chen Dong asked through gritted teeth.
"Nope." Yan Sheng said: "The Heavenly Monarch refuses to develop science and technology, so I have to do this secretly, supporting students to go to other continents and learn their advanced science and technology back." β
"That's good." Unconsciously, Chen Dong was attracted by Yan Sheng's story, and couldn't help but open up and chat with him: "Tianjun is heavy on force, you heavy on technology, and you are both pronged, isn't it good?" β
"That's right, but unfortunately an accident happened......
Yan Sheng's deep tunnel:
"There were two accidents. The first is that I accidentally discovered that in response to the ancient kung fu of Yanxia, other continents are inventing a serum, which can become a super soldier after injection, and the speed and strength can be significantly improved, and the power is no less than our master! If they succeed in inventing, our only advantage will be gone, and the Yanxia Continent will be even more dangerous......"
Hearing Yan Sheng say this, Chen Dong's heart jumped up, and he couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" β
Yan Sheng glanced at Chen Dong and said, "Although the practice of martial arts is flourishing on our side, it takes a long time to train a master to come out, and it is even rarer to reach the peak. If other continents can make super soldiers in batches, we will be in trouble here, so I quickly followed up and arranged for scientific researchers to imitate serum...... It turned out to be a failure, and we didn't have that ability. β
Chen Dong couldn't help frowning.
Yan Sheng continued, "The second thing is that the Heavenly Monarch has been attacked. β
"Huh?!"
"At that time, there was a notorious organization in the rivers and lakes, called Jade Bee Gate, which specialized in flower picking, and their disciples wandered around, harming many innocent girls. The Heavenly Monarch was furious and organized many people to encircle and suppress the Jade Bee Gate, but unfortunately they were too cunning and ended in failure. The head of the Jade Bee Gate calls himself Jade Bee Zhenren, and he is also an outstanding master. No one thought that he would dare to attack the Heavenly Monarch...... One night, the disciples of the Jade Bee Sect suddenly rushed into the Holy Palace, and after a great chaos, although they were repulsed, the Heavenly Monarch was also injured......"
Chen Dong really didn't know about it, and it wasn't written in the history books.
"Because of these two things, I once again advise the Heavenly Monarch, saying that we can't go on like this, we must develop science and technology externally, and restrain force internally, otherwise it will become more and more dangerous. Tianjun still didn't listen, saying that he had many friends on the rivers and lakes, and he was not afraid of the jade bee gate. I said that the Jade Bee Gate is just an introduction, this kind of thing will only become more and more, and when the time comes, internal and external troubles, what should you do? The more we argued, the more fierce we became, and finally we got started......
At that time, he had just finished facing the Jade Bee Gate, and he and the four Davids beside him were seriously injured. I asked Hou Jimo to kill them, and Hou Jimo was about to do so, but I relented and just drove them away. Tianjun was busy traveling in the mountains and rivers and making friends everywhere, but I didn't know that many people inside and outside the court were already my people, and the next day I announced that he had 'died of illness' and became a monarch in the name of it.
As soon as I became the monarch, I vigorously developed science and technology, and at the same time secretly suppressed the use of force. I don't want to completely eliminate the force, after all, this is the foundation of the Yan Dynasty, but I don't allow the power of the people to surpass the royal family! Especially those masters who used to have a good relationship with the Heavenly Monarch, I tried every means to suppress and destroy them to prevent the Heavenly Monarch from coming back. At the same time, I also began to practice martial arts, firstly for self-preservation, and secondly because of the rules left by Yanzu......
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and I know that Tianjun must still be alive. But I think he will definitely be able to see the changes in Yanxia now, both economically and powerful. There is no doubt that I am more suitable to be a monarch than he is, and he should not have the face to come back.
But I never thought that he would really ......"
Speaking of this, Yan Sheng let out a long sigh again, looked at Chen Dong with his eyes, and said with hatred: "Forget it, this country is originally his, and it is natural for him to want to take it back." Why are you? Your mother is here, your grandfather is still handsome, and you are also anti-me? β
Chen Dong said in a deep voice: "Because of justice." β
Yan Sheng was puzzled: "Justice? β
"Yes." Chen Dong said: "I don't care why you usurped the throne, maybe it is really as high-sounding as you said, for the future and stability of Yanxia." But you are not right-minded, narrow-minded, and unscrupulous to achieve your goals, your brother's position as the monarch is said to be robbed, and countless people in the rivers and lakes say that they will be harmed, and I have also made great contributions for you, and I also said that I would kill you...... A person like you is not qualified to be a monarch! β
Chen Dong knew that he couldn't survive, so he simply said that he was happy.
Yan Sheng snorted coldly: "Joke, what do you think a monarch should be like?" Are you qualified to be a monarch? I tell you, a good monarch who can make the country strong and his people rich! As for the means, it doesn't matter at all! The big husband has always been informal in doing things! β
Chen Donggang wanted to say something, but Yan Sheng had already thrown his hand away.
"It's useless to tell you this, I don't regret it anyway! For your grandfather's sake, I won't kill you anymore, you will die here of old age! β
The voice of the Yan Saint faded away.
"Wait!" Chen Dong shouted.
"What for?" Yan Sheng stopped.
"Outside...... How's it going? β
Chen Dong actually has a lot of things he wants to ask, such as how Tianjun and the others are doing, and how are the major leaders......
And his mother, his grandfather......
A lot of people are worried about him, right?
"What's the use of telling you?" Yan Sheng sneered and walked away again.
After all, quietly.
The surroundings also returned to darkness.
Chen Dong was very frustrated, but extremely anxious.
He didn't know how long he would stay here, did he really want to die of old age in such a dark place?
β¦β¦
Wuqu Palace, Yang Mansion.
Chen Dong has been missing for a month.
Since that night, Chen Dong said, "Go to Beijing, it's going to change the sky", and there has been no news since he left.
Shangjing has not changed, but his son is gone.
How could Yang Suqin not panic?
During this period, Yang Suqin went to the Holy Palace countless times to inquire about the news, and also made many phone calls to Yang Dashuai.
Yang Dashuai said: "Maybe the saint has arranged a task for Dongzi, so don't worry too much." β
Although Yang Dashuai said so, he was actually trying to find a way to inquire about the news.
That night, there was indeed a fight in the Holy Palace, and the three clans and the major marshals also brought people there, but they were kicked out by Yan Sheng.
Finally, someone told him that Chen Dong might have been locked up.
Crime: Conspiracy.
Rebellion!
It's horrible!
How could Chen Dong rebel, he had no reason to do this!
But Yang Dashuai did panic.
When Yang Suqin called him once, Yang Dashuai said: "Go find Chen Dahong." β
