Chapter Seventy-Two—The Darkness of the Glass
Once upon a time, Her Royal Highness the Princess, whom they trusted and loyalized very much, didn't know why she had become such a way that no one dared to approach easily, and these soldiers of the white-clothed celestial girl couldn't believe it themselves, they would really stay away from it so much, and they didn't even dare to say a word. And the root cause of this is completely because of the dark mist that surrounds its body.
As the Dark Legion's attack on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent reached a relatively hot stage, the situation inside and outside this protracted battle of the Rising Star began to become equally delicate. With the protracted attack of the Dark Legion on the Huicheng, the other forces on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent have been given a chance to breathe and develop.
Among them, the two most special and important forces are the departure of the country on the Xuanling Continent, and the fact that they are controlled by the Dark Legion and have no choice but to ask to support the Dark Legion's feudal state.
The importance of leaving the country is mainly reflected in its current military strength, leaving the country has not had a large-scale confrontation with the dark army, so Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde can still dispatch 100,000 elite troops relatively easily, as long as this army can still run back and forth, this is a very important force that cannot be ignored on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.
The current army of Liguo is divided into two, one is still temporarily stationed on the mainland of Xuanling Continent, this army is led by Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde herself, both in terms of material equipment and combat effectiveness are the most powerful in Liguo.
The other 30,000 troops, led by Kong Hong, the upstart who left the country, the Lord of the Wing South Spirit, had been fighting back and forth on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent for several months, on the one hand, helping the forces of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden, and on the other hand, being able to contain the army of the Sealing War Society. Under the leadership and dispatch of Kong Hongdi, this army has become an indispensable combat force on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.
Compared with the intuitive importance of leaving the country, the importance of the sealing of the country, or the sealing of the war will is not so intuitive, but all the forces on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent actually know that the sealing of the war will be an important force to support the dark army.
Even the Sect Master of the Sealing War Society, Saint Emperor Zheng Junchao is the first choice of the Dark Evil God and the object that can carry his own soul. If at this time, the Sealing War will not be able to support the Dark Legion, even if it stands by and watchs, it can reduce the pressure directly faced by the Qi State, there is no doubt about this.
At present, there are rifts and divisions within the Sealing War Council due to the influence of the Dark Legion, and there are many unstable situations within the once peaceful and stable Sealing War Society. Even some of the forces that were originally loyal to the Sealing War Society have begun to act separately, and even they have secretly decided to support one of the leaders of the current white-clothed celestial maiden forces, Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan, to ascend the throne as emperor and replace her father.
Although this is just the immature idea of the eldest princess Rongle Bu Lian, in fact, if it is really Bu Yuehan who ascends the throne and replaces his father Saint Emperor Zheng Junchao, whether it is the royal Bu family or the Fengzhan Society, they will recognize Bu Yuehan as orthodox. As the biological daughter of the leader of the Sealing War Society, it is only reasonable to inherit her father's mantle.
Under the influence of Empress Chen Xinyudi of Shengde, both the feudal state and the Qi state began to change their once deep-rooted ideas, and women could not inherit the throne of the imperial family. But in fact, in the ancient tribes, the predecessors of the Feng Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, there were four Creation God adjutants who were women, and their abilities were not inferior to men, and they were even better than men.
As evidenced by this, the dynasty established by the ancient tribes was not just a single male inheritance, and there were three empresses in a single dynasty. It wasn't until later that the Nine Domains fell, and the founders of the two countries, the Qi State and the Feng State, were both generals of the Yu Dynasty, and they invariably canceled the inheritance rights of women, and changed to only sons who could inherit their father's position, which has been passed down to this day.
The remarkable example of Chen Xinyu, the empress of Shengde who left the country, also made many people who originally had this idea change this idea into reality again, especially within the feudal state, they were loyal to the royal family, and later because of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao's strong entry into Zhongcheng and turned to some of his officials, they were all supported and influenced by Princess Rongle, and secretly formed a very special force.
The members of this force, their ultimate goal is to support the Liuli princess Bu Yuehan as the emperor and restore the orthodoxy of the royal family. The key issue is how to deal with the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, and there are many disagreements within the forces.
Of course, these are all later words, and regardless of whether Princess Bu Yuehan is willing to accept the throne or not, they are still facing the primary threat of the Dark Legion, and at present, the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent should share the same hatred, and deal with the huge threat given by the Dark Legion first, and other matters should be postponed.
In the Shengcheng Governor's Mansion, following Kong Hong's footsteps, Bu Yuehan dragged her steps all the way into the gate of the front hall of the Governor's Mansion, she was full of worries and didn't know how to talk about it, and the current situation caused her to frown and wring her hands and didn't know what to do.
On the way back to the Shengcheng Governor's Mansion from the East City Gate, the patrolmen or people who walked by the road looked at them with some surprise, and even some people couldn't believe that these two women of high status who were once close to each other were so far apart that they didn't even have any communication on the way. Her Royal Highness Bu Yuehan, the once lively and cheerful princess of Liuli, actually wrung her hands and lowered her head, her face was slightly heavy and serious, which was an expression that Bu Yuehan rarely appeared before.
Some people along the way who didn't know what to do, they also saw some clues from Bu Yuehan's very rare expression, and these people and soldiers naturally hid on the side with interest, watching Kong Hong and Bu Yuehan from a distance, one after the other, walking towards the governor's palace far away.
Kong Hong also had some doubts in her heart, but she would not easily ask Bu Yuehan behind her quietly halfway through, of course, the difference from before was that Kong Hong's hands were close to the sides of the mink fur wrapped around her body, and her five fingers were clenched into fists, so as to secretly gather the special internal force in her body, in case of accidents that might occur at any time.
Although she is willing to believe in Bu Yuehan, the facts are in front of her, and any crisis that may cause the situation to be variable will make her take the initiative to pay attention. Now the subconscious action is not just a hidden worry in her heart, Bu Yuehan's current state is unstable after all, once the dark power in her body awakens, or if it breaks out, it is likely to bring unknown consequences, which is also something she has to watch out for.
Walking into the front hall of the Governor's Palace, the two personal maids beside Kong Hong also took the opportunity to greet them, they had been waiting for Kong Hong here, because they were not worried that she would go to the East City Gate alone, after all, there were all troops of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden's forces, and Kong Hong was really not very safe to go here alone.
"Miss, ...... are you?"
Kong Hong gently opened his arms, and the two maids beside him immediately stepped forward, helped Kong Hong take off the mink fur he was wearing, moved his fingers, hid the cold air that was originally swirling between his fingers, and quietly sat on the soft couch next to the round table she was sitting on. Bu Yuehan followed, and quietly withdrew his hand and stood next to the Nanmu door in the front hall.
"Stand down, and don't forget to close the door. Kong Hong rubbed her forehead, she only felt that the things at hand were complicated, and it was difficult to grasp the most central problem to deal with and solve. She waved her hand lightly, motioning for the two valet maids beside her to step back for the time being.
These two personal maids have been following Kong Hong and know her very well. Kong Hong is now speaking in such a serious tone, there must be something important happening. These two maids all know the girl standing by the door next to them, isn't it the legendary Princess Liuli Buyuehan?
So the two maids bowed down and did not forget to close the door to the antechamber of the governor's mansion before leaving. Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Kong Hong quietly raised his head and asked a little seriously, "What do you mean by what you just said?"
Bu Yuehan lowered his head a little helplessly, and there was a slight frost on his eyelashes, which condensed near his eyelids like tears like crystal water. She couldn't even bear to think about what she had experienced in the Dark Legion barracks now. But now, she had to tell Kong Hong in front of her about this in exchange for her trust, and it was better to do so than to tell all the sergeants this twisted story.
With a low sigh, Bu Yuehan slowly told what he had experienced.
"At that time, the main purpose of my mission to track down the Dark Legion was to seize the food captured by the Dark Legion at that time, and use it as a continuation of our food land. At that time, on the Qi side, Yu Chong, Shanshan, Fei'er and Yun'er went to the inside of the Dark Legion military camp together. The plan was going very well, whether it was to seize the food or to hide from the dark legions, the situation was very good. Just ......"
The thoughts of speaking are very clear, although Bu Yuehan's body is still surrounded by a looming dark mist, but her state does not see anything wrong, Kong Hong has also been observing her tone and movements when she speaks, and there seems to be nothing wrong, so she quietly pointed to another soft couch beside her. "Sit down, I'll have time to hear from you. ”
Bu Yuehan's face relaxed slightly, Kong Hong's voice was still so magnanimous, as if she didn't care about the looming dark mist around her, she quietly sat on the soft couch, and she continued to tell what had happened.
"Later, the Dark Legion discovered our tracks and sent two Dark Lords to attack us from both sides. Uchong wanted to cover us, but the lord inexplicably used the golden spear in his hand to repel them, and they quietly left, and I was caught up by the large forces of the Dark Legion and captured. It wasn't until I entered the military camp of the Dark Legion later that I learned that these two Dark Legion lords were themselves Yu Chong's comrades-in-arms, who were once captured by the Dark Legion in the Battle of Xuancheng and later corrupted by the power of the Dark Evil God, Lu Deng and Shi Rambo. ”
