In the harsh winter of the 7th year of Honkai, the supreme leader of the northern rebels, Shogun, was taken to the trial council and placed under house arrest.

Six years later, in the early spring of Honkai 13, Shojong died in the Judgment Council for unknown reasons.

There was no warm sunshine on the morning of early spring, and the cold of late winter continued, and at Chang'an Airport, the capital of the Red Blood Empire, an imperial plane returned home under the escort of the Judgment Council.

The airport promenade, where all the generals of the imperial capital gathered, including the old marshal himself, but everyone bowed their heads and did not say a word, and the atmosphere was as solemn as cement.

At the other end of the passage, the haggard Leng Kite slowly walked out, and behind him, four attendants carried a coffin, covered with a solemn red blood flag, and walked out with Leng Kite.

At this moment, I don't know who made the first cry, and these iron-blooded empire generals all fell to their knees and cried into tears.

When Leng Kite walked by, Capital Lieutenant General Lu Changqing suddenly rushed out of the crowd, grabbed Leng Kite by the collar, looked disgusting, and slapped her hard in the face.

"Smack!" The crisp voice retracted in the corridor, and Lu Changqing's slap was extremely heavy, and even shook Leng Kite's body.

An Eagle Banner general's eyes lit up, and he wanted to step forward to fight back, but Leng Kite stretched out his hand to stop him.

Soon, Lu Changqing came up again, slapped Leng Kite in the face again, his eyes were red, and he spat on it: "You are a disgrace to the empire!" ”

After speaking, Lu Changqing staggered out of the airport corridor, and almost at the same time, all the generals in the capital, including the old marshal himself, and a large number of Jiangnan generals all left, without even looking at Leng Kite, as if they disdained to be with her.

In the end, only the Eagle Banner generals under his command were left in front of Leng Kite, as well as a few people in Jiangnan.

Leng Kite's gaze looked ahead, staring at these people who remained, swept over their faces one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the fate of the empire is in our hands. ”

...

Half a month later, the capital of the northern rebels, the conference hall.

Chu Linfeng held the report submitted below in his hand, and the whole person cried bitterly: "Father!! ”

Due to the intelligence blockade of the Red Blood Empire, half a month after Jiangzong's death, the northern rebels learned that Jiangzong had died, and according to the news secretly transmitted by the Trial Council, the cause of death was "death".

"Father... Father..."Chu Linfeng was already crying in tears on the main seat, and the whole person kept trembling, and said at a loss, "Everyone... What to do with my father's body? ”

"Shozong is deceased, and now you are our marshal!" A general in charge of intelligence strode forward and said, "Report to the marshal, the Red Blood Empire has sent someone to discuss with us about the return of the body, and they are willing to let the sect soul return to their hometown." ”

Jiangzong's hometown is a northern province, and it is reasonable that he should be buried in his homeland.

Chu Linfeng wiped away the tears on his face and hurriedly asked, "When will it be delivered?" ”

The intelligence general said in a deep voice: "At any time, the Red Blood Empire has formed a funeral team, and I am willing to escort the body of the general all the way." ”

"No!" Suddenly, under Liu Fusu's seat, the chief military advisor Nangong stood up and shouted, "If you really mourn for Jiangzong, then discuss with the Red Blood Empire, and we will send someone to take Jiangzong's body and send it back to his hometown." ”

Another general said with some hesitation: "Mr. Nangong, the general sect is my mentor, and he is also the mentor of the imperial generals, and when the mentor dies, it is natural for them to mourn, if they stop it, I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied." ”

Nangong's voice was resolute and unquestionable: "No! This matter must be done by our side, and the imperial forces are not allowed to step into the north for half a step! ”

The general shook his head and said, "The Red Blood Empire will not agree. ”

"Then let's not leave Zong's body and let them find a place to bury themselves!" As soon as Nangong said this, the audience was in an uproar, and the generals immediately scolded.

"Nangong! You scoundrel, you are talking wildly! ”

"This person is not a disciple of the General Sect, he is ruthless and unrighteous to the General Sect, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Nangong, Marshal Chu Linfeng thinks that you are talented, and he promoted you to be a military advisor, you don't have to make an inch!"

"This guy is lying to confuse the public, Marshal Chu Linfeng, please punish him for a serious crime!"

"You... You mediocrities! What does the Red Blood Empire want to do, can't you see clearly??!! Nangong's temper was not very good, he slapped the table vigorously, took out a military intelligence report from under the case, held it high above his head, and shouted, "Half a month ago, the Eagle Banner Army in the north of the Red Blood Empire moved greatly, and the logistics line stretched for dozens of miles, and at least 100,000 people were mobilized!" ”

Nangong slapped the emergency message paper on the table with his palm, and roared angrily: "How can anyone bring 100,000 soldiers and horses to mourn?!" ”

As soon as Nangong's words came out, the audience was silent.

Chu Linfeng was silent for a long time, and said: "Fierce beasts are rampant in the Red Blood Empire, perhaps because I am afraid that my father's body will be lost. ”

Nangong said anxiously: "That's not okay!" Marshal, that's 100,000 elite Eagle Banner Army! Just to deal with fierce beasts, why do you need so many soldiers and horses? If they are worried about the threat of the beast, we can send someone to dock and use the keystone to manipulate the beast to ensure that it is far away from the remains of the general. ”

Chu Linfeng said bluntly: "No, the keystone is now in the capital, and there are nearly 10 million people cultivating in the wilderness in the area, if it is easily moved, the coverage will change, and it is likely to attract the impact of fierce beasts, causing casualties." ”

"I'm afraid you'll have to make a choice, Marshal." Nangong's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a low voice, "Either let the Red Blood Empire's mourning team be reduced to less than a hundred, and we will move the keystone to help them stay away from the fierce beasts." Either ban any imperial power from entering the country, and at the same time abandon the remains of the general. ”

Chu Linfeng was in a dilemma, and said with an ugly face: "The keystone cannot be moved, and my father's body must not be given up!" If I don't mourn for my father, the world will think that I am a disloyal and unfilial person, how can I lead the country? ”

The traditional culture of the empire emphasizes family affection, and there is no doubt that in the minds of the people, an unfilial leader is more hateful than an incompetent leader.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a herald flew into the room: "Report! The envoy of the Red Blood Empire asks to meet! ”

"Accurate!"

Moments later, an Imperial emissary walked into the temple.

Chu Linfeng asked, "Mr. Messenger, what's the matter?" ”

The envoy said respectfully: "Back to Mr. Chu Linfeng, General Leng Kite expected that Mr. Leng would be uncomfortable with the mobilization of troops and horses of the Eagle Banner Army, and specially sent me here to discuss a solution. ”

Chu Linfeng asked tentatively: "If General Leng Kite wants to mourn for the general, why did he mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses?" ”

"Mr. Hui, I'm afraid that the road is far away, and the beast is attacking."

This answer was consistent with his previous expectations, Chu Linfeng nodded, and sighed: "100,000 soldiers and horses are too much. ”

The messenger said, "General Leng Kite has submitted a case, please take a look." ”
