Chapter 605: Recovering Yuezhou
Xiaopen carried his niece to a secluded place outside the city, and then pinched the trick with both hands to lure out Neidan and gave her half of it. Feed it into her mouth and use mana to help her absorb it.
After she absorbed it, he cast a spell to put her to sleep and let her go outside the gate of a Taoist temple. He could not take her with him, for fear of bringing disaster to her. The best way to give her the power to protect herself and let her start a new life is the best way.
After that, Xiaopen returned to the city, and he was going to kill the prince. However, the prince did not know where to go, perhaps he fled, and fled without a trace.
Only the prince's family and his servants knelt on the ground, begging him to spare his life, and he was past the most angry moment, and he did not want to kill anyone.
He searched everywhere for the traces of the prince, but he did not find it for several years. He was tired and returned to the city house. The corpses in the courtyard have long been buried in mass graves by the government, and the courtyard is dilapidated, and the flowers and trees are barren.
Those past memories were the most cruel torture to him, and he stripped those memories from his mind, leaving only the thought of seeking revenge from the prince.
When he takes revenge and the people who are closely related to him are gone, he can return to his own world without worry.
Due to memory loss and being alone in the abandoned garden all year round, his mind has become less bright.
Time flies, and although this blood-soaked abandoned garden still has a haunted legend, it is no longer enough to make the residents of the city talk about it.
Gradually, bold people approached the place, and some people saw the little basin, and they only regarded him as a madman who had fallen here, and did not think about what he was in the first place.
Xiao Basin himself forgot his original name and identity, but he remembered in a trance that someone called him "Basin Monster", so he was also a Basin Monster.
The light curtain faded, and what happened after that was all known to Hu Xianxian. She slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her was a basin monster with a faint expression.
Hu Xianxian bowed to him and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for the mercy of your predecessors." ”
He could pull her back into the illusion, and it would be easy to kill her.
"I should also thank you, the spell you cast made me understand the antecedents, and let me understand it thoroughly. It's just that when we are entrusted by others to be loyal to others, we are each our master, should we fight? ”
The pot monster said very seriously, and Hu Xianxian winked at him playfully, hehe, this gluttony has learned cold humor? Is there still a need for them to fight?
"You don't have to fight, do you? It is best for you to persuade Han Zejiong to surrender sincerely. ”
"What if I want to fight? I already know that Han Zejiong is the descendant of that prince, and at this time, more than two hundred years have passed since the era in which I lived, and I really want to provoke a fight and wash away my grudges with blood. ”
The pot monster changed into a fierce expression, Hu Xianxian pouted and smiled: "Come on, pretend to be so fierce, you don't have the slightest murderous aura in your eyes, don't coax me." I see that you couldn't kill the prince with your own hands, and I regret it, do you want me to tell you, why can't you find the prince? ”
He smiled and shrugged his shoulders as she said he was thinking, looking at her expectantly.
"If you are sure that the prince is Han Zejiong's ancestor two hundred years ago, then he is the first king of Jinjun.
The first King of Jinjun was recalled to the capital by his emperor father for his prestige in the fiefdom and placed under house arrest. After a period of house arrest, he did not repent, so he was secretly poisoned to death and buried next to his biological mother's mausoleum.
At that time, it was not made public for the sake of royal decency, but after a long time, these secrets came out, and many people knew about it. ”
The monster pondered what she had said, and believed it. The father of the prince is the founding monarch, and he is more honest and strict in governing the family and the country, so it is possible to deal with his son like that.
He searched everywhere for the prince and couldn't find it, probably because the prince was under house arrest in the palace, and there was a formation in the palace to isolate the breath. As for not hearing the news that the prince was under house arrest and then poisoned, it should be as Hu Xianxian said, because the royal scruples and decency have not been announced.
There was no more shackles in this world, he looked around in confusion, and after a long time, he smiled.
Seeing him smile, Hu Xianxian asked, "Can you help me persuade Han Zejiong to surrender?" ”
He didn't answer this question, but said to Hu Xianxian in a deep voice: "What I can give is not what she wants, and what she wants is not what I can give. If you can meet someone who can give you exactly what you want, then remember to go all the way with him. “
Hu Xianxian raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your blessings, hehe, I have found such a person." However, if Yuezhou can't be attacked for a long time, I won't be able to reunite with him for a long time. Senior, please help me persuade Han Zejiong to surrender the city. ”
"Oh?" The pot monster looked at Hu Xianxian very carefully, pursed his lips thoughtfully, and suddenly realized "oh......".
He crossed his hands in front of his chest, his fingers bent into a strange knuckle. The spiritual power gathered towards his fingertips, and a pale golden light surged around him.
He's preparing to make a move, and this is a must-fight? Hu Xianxian raised her eyebrows, even if she knew that she couldn't fight, she would still fight!
Summoning the Huixin Jade Sword in his hand, the Concentrating Sword stabbed at his throat.
The sword light flashed, but she couldn't see the surrounding scenery in her eyes, and the Huixin jade sword didn't fall into the air.
Her ears were filled with the sound of drums like the wind and rain, and the scene of thousands of troops fighting in front of her eyes appeared.
From the formation of the two sides, to the battle of the generals, to the rush to fight, and finally to hand-to-hand combat. The sound of drums and horns was incessant, the neighing of horses and the screams of people continued, and the number of dead in the shadows of swords and swords continued to increase, until at last only corpses were left all over the field.
There was no more shouting of killing, blood stained the dirt, wild dogs slashed through the piles of corpses, and night owls hovered in the air.
Scenes flashed, and Hu Xianxian understood that this was a pot monster simulating war and post-war scenes for her.
The illusion vanished, and she looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Your battle has just begun, and it is only a partial battle at present, and you have not yet seen the real cruel side. “
Hu Xianxian nodded as if she didn't understand, maybe it would be more accurate that she didn't want to understand, as long as she could help Han Zexi stabilize the throne, she didn't want to be more involved, she would try to stay away from the war.
The monster pointed in the direction of the city and motioned for her to go with her. He plunged into the clouds, no longer in the strange and clumsy way of taking off in the air, but leisurely as a leisurely stroll.
"I don't belong here after all, and the reason why this life ended up like this is because I disturbed the peace of their ordinary life. Every living creature should have its own place, and I should bear as much as I have, and I still have to go back to the gluttonous clan to take responsibility. “
Hearing his words, Hu Xianxian's heart was shocked, where should she and Cheng Haofeng be? They weren't supposed to meddle in the world's strife.
The monster noticed her strange expression, and said in a gentle tone: "It is not determined what position you should be in, nor is it that you can be where you want to be, but you have to go through a lot of hardships to find your position." You and I are both born with extraordinary backgrounds, may you and your sweetheart be free from suspicion and care...... Nor do they separate ......"
Hu Xianxian wanted to ask him how he could "not suspect, not care, and not separate", but he was already outside the palace, and they should talk about business, so they had no time to ask again.
Seeing them fall outside the door at the same time, the palace guards stepped in one after the other, vigilantly drawing their swords and preparing for battle.
The basin monster pointed to the two guards at the front, and their knives automatically retracted into their scabbards. Seeing this, they didn't dare to stop it anymore.
When the two of them arrived outside the main hall of the palace, someone had already informed Han Zejiong, and he was waiting by the door of the hall at the moment. They didn't go straight to the inner courtyard, they also wanted to give Han Zejiong time to prepare, after all, they were here to persuade him to surrender, not to make trouble.
"Master Basin, please take a seat! Hu Tianfei, please take a seat! Come on, serve tea. ”
Han Zejiong greeted them politely, and they sat down to drink tea with a silent smile.
After Han Zejiong's various polite words were finished, the monster asked him, "Do you know me?" ”
"Master Basin laughed, your magic power is boundless, protect me from Yuezhou, how can I not know you?"
"No, you don't know me. You don't want to surrender, and you don't have reinforcements, so you're in a hurry, so you are looking for someone to help you. You don't know me, and you don't want to know much about me. ”
The pot monster in Han Zejiong's impression was a little silly, and he looked up and down in surprise when he understood his mind so clearly.
Hu Xian leaned on the table and chuckled lazily, it seemed that the negotiations between the enemy and us did not have anything to do with her, the pioneer of Pingyue, the enemy was talking about it himself.
"Hu Tianfei...... This is...... Did you know each other for a long time, and you had a premeditated plan to let me surrender without a fight? Han Zejiong asked angrily, he felt fooled.
Hu Xianxian didn't answer, and raised his eyes to look at the pot monster. She had nothing to do, chuckling and picking up a piece of pastry and munching slowly.
"I don't know her, but I remember a lot of things because of her." The pot monster explained to Han Zejiong.
Han Zejiong grinned, not knowing what to say, the monster continued: "Your ancestor's first king, King Jinjun, killed my whole family, I should have killed you for revenge, but it is too old to kill you." ”
Hearing this, Han Ze stood up in a hurry, and he took a few steps back before staring at the pot monster. He wasn't surprised to say that the pot monster was a ghost for hundreds of years, but if he said that he had an intersection with his ancestors, he couldn't believe it.
"You don't know me, so you entrust me with the safety of Yuezhou, which means that you have no other way to break through and defeat the Pingyue army. If you surrender sincerely, there is still a way out, otherwise, all the soldiers and civilians in the city will be killed by you. ”
The pot monster didn't have any fancy language as a lobbyist, and directly persuaded Han Zejiong to surrender.
Han Zejiong sighed a few times, returned to his seat and sat down, and sat silently for a long time.
"Do you want to submit to the imperial court, but you are afraid that the emperor will condemn you?" Hu Xianxian asked tentatively.
Han Zejiong snorted: "Even if the emperor didn't punish me at that time...... It is inevitable that the ...... will settle accounts after the autumn."
"Hmph...... "The pot monster sneered and asked him, "Do you think Han Zexi is reliable, or Han Zecan is reliable?" In his conversation with Hu Xianxian, he had a general understanding of the current situation.
"They're not reliable." Han Zejiong lowered his head and replied in a low voice.
"Since they are unreliable, then you don't need to rely on anyone!" The monster said loudly: "You should rely on the people of Yuezhou, as long as they support you, no matter who is the emperor, they will not dare to pinch you at will!" ”
"Rely on the people of Yuezhou?" Han Zejiong asked rhetorically, and then looked at Hu Xianxian.
"The people of Yuezhou don't want to fight, so don't fight anymore, surrender!" Hu Xianxian stood up and said solemnly: "You are the first anti-king to surrender, and the emperor will definitely take you as a model and then persuade other anti-kings." The emperor will definitely not embarrass you, otherwise how can you make other anti-kings willing to submit? ”
Han Zejiong crossed his fingers on both hands, and he had to think about it carefully. Thinking about it, he felt that he, the prince who had always been ridiculed, didn't seem to have done anything worthy of admiration, if he could really become a model for the emperor to recruit other anti-kings, would he also be regarded as a "leader"?
He finally thought about it, smiled and called the commander of the Xiang army and the commander of the guards, and asked them to open the city gate to welcome the Pingyue army.
