Chapter 288: Memories of the Old Country
The memory of his homeland comes from his childhood at most, and when he grows up, his world is not just the Suzaku Country, he knows the Eight Sects of the Four Kingdoms and even higher places. When he was a child, he fell asleep slowly at night, and this was the time when he was most attached to the land in which he lived.
He couldn't tell what his life was like. During the day, he wants to compete with his brother for his father's favor, sword and sword. In his sleep, he is still awake, he has to guard against assassination, and he has to accumulate strength for the unknown tomorrow. The days are very bitter, but there are also times when they are particularly sweet, and it is even said that bitterness will make the sweetness even sweeter.
When he holds the moon with all the stars, when he is clothed and fed, when he is crowned, these glory and wealth together compose a dream song for him. When he is not asleep, he is the happiest, as if there is such a big country to support him with his own hands, and even the night covering him is the gentle whisper of his mother, and he has what he gets and what he doesn't get at this time.
But now, he's lost them all.
When Nangong Yan returned to the Vermilion Bird Country, the situation was already very different.
The Suzaku Kingdom has completed the relocation of the capital, which means that the iron hooves of the demon clan have set foot on the national capital, his former capital. Now, most of the land of the Vermilion Bird Country has fallen into the hands of the demon clan, and what little they keep now is a remote and wild place.
Nangong Yan returned to the Vermilion Bird Country, and the outside world had a lot of voices about him, which can be roughly divided into two strands. Because Nangong Yan has now given a method that can identify the human face technique, the current voices are generally in support of him.
Before Nangong Yan returned, the Vermilion Bird Emperor was the eldest prince and the second prince, and most of the towns were coordinated by them. Before Nangong Yan disappeared, the Vermilion Bird Kingdom had only lost some cities, and the subjects still had hope of defeating the Demon Clan. But in the days when Nangong Yan disappeared, even the country was lost, and the people didn't complain about these two princes, who did they blame?
In the years when Nangong Yan disappeared, other princes encroached on a lot of his power. But as long as he, King Xian, returns to the capital, then the Suzaku country will still be his Suzaku country. He should defend the ownership of that land, and the people of this land should be guarded by him.
The national capital has moved to a wild land despised by monks, and the spiritual energy is thin, the spiritual grass does not grow, and the spiritual beasts do not exist. But how amazing the monks are, the current capital is gradually becoming the capital of a country.
Nangong Yan rode on a tall spirit horse, and the guards were neatly attached behind him. The mighty procession ran out of the palace gate and walked up the long street.
The scene of the high-ranking monks traveling is very spectacular, the coercion is overwhelming, the birds and beasts are flying away, and the people are disappearing. The horse's smooth hair bulged like dandelions between the jumps, and the aura from its body and the cold light that flashed on its armor reflected the light.
The wind and clouds are surging, and the blue sky is another round.
Nangong Yan passed by this long street.
In the blink of an eye, he saw an ink-painted figure standing at the end of the long street.
He was overjoyed.
"Third brother!" The sound of thunder sounded behind him, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Nangong Yan looked back. The eldest prince Nangong Qian caught up with him on his horn light breaking eagle, and the second prince Nangong Kun also stepped on the shoulders of the sedan chair guards.
Nangong Qian sneered: "The third brother is really magnificent today." The exploit of capturing the five cities in one fell swoop really makes me ashamed of myself! I just don't know what the third brother will do next, can the ward royal brother let this prince prepare early! ”
Nangong Qian and Nangong Kun were naturally crowned kings, but because of the unfavorable war, the title was stripped away like the former Nangong Yan.
Nangong Kun laughed, and said: "Big brother is so straight when he speaks, they are all princes of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, you can take away the five cities from the Xuanwu Kingdom, and we are all happy for you!" ”
