Chapter 13: The Shocking Change in the Sky (I)
+ Lingxiao City, the capital of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info one of the most majestic cities in the Aegean Continent, with a total area of more than 50,000 square kilometers, is second to none in the entire Aegean! At the same time, Lingxiao City is known as the first heroic city in the world, and it is said to be absolutely unconquerable! Yes, it is absolutely unfortunate.
Lingxiao, above the clouds, this name is not just a nice name. Lingxiao City sits on top of a single peak of hundreds of feet. Surrounded by cliffs on all sides, only the four gates have a slight road several kilometers long in front of each of them. At least these roads are not affected, but it is extremely difficult to carry heavy siege equipment! Such a natural danger, any enemy will lose the courage to attack as long as they look at it, not to mention that there are fortress guards on both sides of the road, and Lingxiao City is more than ten zhang high, and the thickness is nearly ten zhang, with a solid city wall that is almost indestructible with superior magic!
Legend has it that the East Road, to which Jiangnan belongs in the Western Regions, was not originally part of the Aegean Continent, but drifted over 20,000 years ago and collided with the Aegean Continent to form a continent. The relevant historical materials have all been lost in the strife and war of 20,000 years, so there is no way to prove whether this is the case or not, but it is an indisputable fact that the eastern continent is generally black hair and black eyes, and the western continent is very different. There is also a long and narrow inland sea between the eastern and western continents, which makes the legend even more believable.
The Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions is rich in national strength, and Lingxiao City, as the imperial capital, has a large number of military and civilian materials in reserve. Even if they are besieged for several years, they can ensure that the people in the city can live without worry. Of course, this is just that, even if Jiangnan in the Western Regions, as one of the three major empires of the Aegean, no one or any force dares to provoke easily, let alone the imperial capital Lingxiao City, which is in the hinterland of the empire. Even in that epic battle 10,000 years ago, the demons of the other world, who fought the entire Aegean and retreated, failed to capture Lingxiao City!
In the past 20,000 years, the political power of the land south of the Yangtze River in the Western Regions has also changed hands several times, and Lingxiao City has also changed hands several times. However, it fell because of the strong attack from outside, but not once. The residents of Soaring City firmly believe that there has never been one before, and there will never be one in the future!
This is the largest imperial palace in the entire Aegean Continent, built for more than 8,000 years, but it has been retained after several changes of ownership, and the dynasties are unwilling to destroy the most majestic palace in the Aegean.
Today's Western Regions Jiangnan royal family was originally a side branch of the previous generation of imperial dynasties, coinciding with the great changes in the Aegean, by chance to get the imperial power, changed the name of the country to the Western Regions Jiangnan, now it has been more than four or five thousand years, is the longest history of the existing state of government in the Aegean continent. Comparatively speaking, Moyue and Francisco, who are also the three major empires, are only about 2,000 years old.
Ye Binxuan, the current emperor of the Western Regions Jiangnan, is a very accomplished emperor, and in the past 30 years of his reign, the national strength of the Western Regions Jiangnan has been thriving, and both agriculture, industry and commerce have grown considerably. Due to Ye Binxuan's emphasis on the cultivation of magicians, in the past thirty years, the originally weak magicians in the Jiangnan of the Western Regions have also improved to a considerable extent. Ye Binxuan was a benevolent emperor who was very friendly to his subjects and allies, so he had good relations with his neighbors during his reign, and the domestic environment was stable.
With the growth of national strength and the stability of the country, Yebinxuan's prestige among the people is quite high and he is deeply loved by the people. However, His Majesty the Emperor, who was deeply loved by the people, suddenly fell seriously ill in the prime of life, and he was already critically ill!
In the Lingxiao Palace.
"Your Highness, Weichen is incompetent, Your Majesty is ......" Several imperial doctors knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and in front of them were two young men in luxurious dresses.
"Rubbish!" a younger man was furious, and threw his foot on one of the imperial doctors at the front: "If you can't cure my father, you all have to be buried together!"
"Your Highness spare your life, spare your life!" several imperial doctors kowtowed and begged for mercy.
The highness was furious, and was about to say something, but was stopped by another man beside him: "Chenlian, don't be embarrassed for them, they want to do their best!"
"Imperial brother, you ......" His Royal Highness, who was called Chenlian, was pulled by the man, and he didn't dare to refute, so he could only stomp his feet with hatred, and said to a few imperial doctors: "Get out, hurry up and find a way!"
Several imperial doctors hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you to the eldest prince, thank you to the second prince...... Weichen went to find a way, found a way......" said and ran away.
The two men looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Both are the sons of the current Emperor Jiangnan of the Western Regions. The younger one is the second prince Ye Chenlian, and the older one is the eldest prince, that is, the crown prince Ye Chenhao.
Ye Binxuan had seven sons and nine daughters, the eldest prince was nearly thirty years old, and the youngest princess was only five years old. As the eldest brother, Ye Chenhao has a gentle temperament and is generous, and is deeply loved by Emperor Ye Binxuan and many ministers, so he was elected as the crown prince. Now the emperor is critically ill, once the emperor dies of illness, Ye Chenhao is the new emperor of Jiangnan in the Western Regions.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Second Highness!" At this time, a gray-haired old man walked out of the emperor's bedroom. Seeing Ye Chenhao and Ye Chenhao, he stepped forward and bowed.
"Taifu doesn't have to be polite!" Ye Chenhao and Ye Chenhuan hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to claim to be a prince. Because this old man is the premier minister of the Jiangnan Empire in the Western Regions, one of the three major scholars of the empire, and also one of the three princes, Taifu Ling Chenyue!
"Taifu, how is my father, the emperor?" Ye Chenhao asked after he finished his salute and stared at Ling Chenyue nervously. Ling Chenyue is not only a good person who governs the country and the country, but also a powerful Great Demon Master. For diseases that the imperial doctor can't treat, Ling Daochen may not have no choice.
But disappointed the two princes, Ling Chenyue shook his head and sighed: "The two highnesses, Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's already the end of the day, a few princesses are taking care of them inside, the two highnesses should summon the other highnesses to see Your Majesty for the last time......"
"What ......" The second prince lost his mind slightly, his father was only in his fifties, and his martial arts cultivation was successful, it should be said that he was in the prime of life, why did he suddenly ......
Ye Chenhao was older, and finally had some concentration, and patted Ye Chenhao's shoulder: "Chenhao, you go and make arrangements, let a few royal brothers and sisters come into the palace and see ...... Father, the last time......"
Ye Chenhao was ordered to leave, Ye Chenhao's face turned pale, and asked, "Taifu, father, is it really seriously ill?"
"Back to His Highness, the minister is about to report this!" Ling Chenyue said with a full face: "I have found several extremely strange magical powers in His Majesty's body, which seem to be dark magic but are not quite like them, the minister is short-sighted, and he has never seen such magical power. However, these magic powers are extremely destructive, constantly destroying His Majesty's physical functions, and according to Wei Chen's humble opinion, His Majesty's illness may come from this. Or rather, it's not a disease, but someone who used Qimen's magic. ”
"Are you saying that someone used the magic of the evil sect to assassinate his father?" Ye Chenhao frowned, thought for a long time but had no clue, shook his head and said: "Taifu can have a way to highlight the harm of those few magic powers, or, do you know who can solve it?"
"The minister is incompetent," Ling Chenyue sighed, "although the minister can find those few magics, he can't do anything about them, and the regular dispel magic is of no use to them at all, unless ......"
"Unless what?" Ye Chenhao heard that there seemed to be a turnaround, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked nervously.
"Unless you can find the Twelve Main Priests of the Moyue Empire and cast a dispersal war song, maybe it can be lifted!" Ling Chenyue said truthfully: "But the possibility is too small, and it is too late in time, Your Majesty, at most it will be tonight." ”
Ye Chenhao was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly. Although there have been no major battles between the three empires in the past hundred years, there have been constant small conflicts, and the relationship between them is not very good. Wanting to invite the Twelve Priests, one of the highest figures in Moyue, to treat his father, as Ling Chenyue said, the possibility is too small.
Disappointment, Ye Chenhao stomped his feet fiercely, gritted his teeth and asked, "Taifu, do you think that the father is outside or is he deliberately framed?"
"This ......" Ling Chenyue hesitated for a moment and said: "The minister thinks that it is more likely to be artificial, but the emperor has been in the deep palace recently, and there are forbidden troops guarding the palace, and His Majesty also has personal guards, who does not know it......
"No matter who it is, I will definitely catch him and break him into pieces!" Ye Chenhao said through gritted teeth. Ling Chenyue stood with his hands down, silent.
A quarter of an hour later, a palace maid stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and His Royal Highnesses the Princes have arrived outside the palace gate and asked to enter the palace. "According to the rules of the Jiangnan royal family in the Western Regions, unmarried princesses can live in the palace, and princes who are under the age of twelve can also live in the palace. After the prince is twelve years old, he will move out of the palace and arrange another dormitory. No free entry or exit to the Royal Palace. The second prince was ordered to go out to gather a few younger brothers and sisters, but when he came back, he couldn't enter the palace directly, and needed simultaneous interpretation. At this time, the emperor was seriously ill and could not issue an order, so he naturally reported to the prince.
"Hurry up and let a few royal brothers and sisters come in!" Ye Chenhao commanded.
Although the area of Lingxiao Palace is very large, most of the princes and princesses practice magic and martial arts, and the speed is not slow, and they soon arrive in front of the emperor's bedroom.
"Eldest brother, the second brother said that his father is critically ill, can't it be a lie?" asked a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man anxiously, with a look of worry and disbelief on his face. It was the sixth prince who asked the question. Emperor Ye Binxuan suddenly fell ill in the afternoon without warning, except for Ye Chenhao and Ye Chenxuan, who happened to be in the palace, the other princes and princesses were completely unaware. Ye Chenhao was busy summoning the imperial doctor and the Taifu to treat his father, and he didn't have time to tell his younger brothers and sisters, because it was only at this time that they didn't know that their father was critically ill and dying!
"Chenyu ......" Ye Chenhao looked at the sixth brother Ye Chenyu, and then looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were also looking at him with a frightened face, and sighed and said: "Father is already ...... Go in and see, I'm afraid it's tonight......"
Several princes were shocked and hurriedly broke into the dormitory. The second prince and the prince were speechless at night, only smiling bitterly.
Ye Chenhao glanced at his younger brothers and sisters who were eager to enter the dormitory, suddenly frowned, and asked Ye Chenhao: "Chenlian, the eldest sister and the second sister must not be able to come back if they marry far away, why are the seventh sister and the fifth brother not here?" As for the seventh sister, don't mention it. But the fifth prince was in the city at night, how could he not have arrived yet.
Ye Chenhuan also frowned and said: "I have notified the eldest sister and the second sister, and they are preparing to come in the teleportation array, so they should still be able to arrive, as for the seventh sister, she has never communicated with us much, and I don't know where to go." It's the fifth brother, I sent someone to his house, and replied that the fifth brother was not in the house, but he didn't know where he went, but since the people in his house already knew, he should be there!"
"Well, in this way, let people teleport out and prepare, and the eldest sister and the second sister will hurry into the palace as soon as they arrive......"
Ye Chenhao was instructing the palace people, and suddenly a palace guard ran in in a hurry, and when he saw Ye Chenhao, he knelt down and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good, it's not good......
"What happened, why are you shouting in the palace?" Ye Chenhao frowned and said unhappily.
"Back to Your Highness, the Wild Lion, the Wild Lion Legion, the Wild Lion Army left the garrison without permission, and the regiment surrounded the palace!" the chief of the guard knelt on the ground and said in a panic and a little stumbling.
