Chapter 40: Gu Men (2)
"He said, all domains have my reputation, if I go back to the empire at this moment, where will Xingkui be, they don't want me to go back, let alone go to the battlefield, because with my reputation and background, if I achieve merit again, sooner or later it will threaten Xingkui's status, and my grandfather also advised me not to come back, there are still many source masters of seven or eight stars in the empire, and I am not needed. ”
Starember sighed, "I was angry in my heart, so I left the supplies and left, ready to enter the Divine Tower." The selection of members of the Divine Tower has to go through a period of assessment, and when I was about to participate in the final level, one of my opponents told me that the Western Regions United Army had broken through the defense line of the Heavenly Fire Path.
The last level of the assessment was very dangerous and took a lot of time, although I knew that he asked me to withdraw from the assessment in disguise, but after confirming the facts, I still chose to come back. ”
"On the way home, I was assassinated by many people, from my opponents at the time, from the Western Regions Coalition Army, and certain forces within the Empire. ”
She looked at Xi Huanyan deeply, "When I arrived, everything was almost settled, the Gu clan and most of the Shuchuan students died on the battlefield, and even the people in the Gu clan's old mansion were killed by the rebels, but fortunately, your mother was rescued by the guards." ”
"I don't understand. Xi Huanyan was very puzzled, "Such a big Gu Men died on the battlefield like this?"
"It's not the Gu family, it's the Gu family, it's the Gu family. Xing Ember said, "The Gu family is either serving in Shuchuan or serving in the army, and when the war comes, they must play." ”
"Why?"
"This is a multi-party game situation, to put it simply, the empire and the rebel army and the Western Regions United Army are opponents, and Gu Men was too popular at that time and became an outcast.
In the name of war, the empire pushed out the soldiers from Gumen to meet the enemy, and on the other hand, it told the people who revolted because of oppression that their money and food were taken by Gumen. ”
"The soldiers of Gumen in front went to the battlefield desperately, and the rebel army in the back broke into the Jinshengde Qianzhuang in various places, blocked the branch of Shuchuan, and smashed all the properties that marked Gumen.
In order to completely suppress Gumen and divide its wealth, when the Gumen soldiers were in trouble, no one sent troops to help, but unanimously let the reserve source division and martial arts master of Shuchuan Academy go to the battlefield. ”
"Where is the power of Gumen? Property is secondary, the reputation and connections created by Shuchuan Academy are the big head, if you get rid of Shuchuan Academy, Gumen will collapse by half, and if you get rid of the Gu family, Gumen will collapse completely. ”
"In addition to Gu Men that time, I think the Empire, the Rebel Army, and the Western Regions United Army have all achieved satisfactory results. I wanted to kill the leader of the rebel army and then go to the battlefield to take revenge, but the empire made the leader a general first, and in the name of my attempt to harm the imperial general, united with many dukes, and drove me out of the empire. ”
"Your mother chose to leave alone, at that time I only thought that she was disheartened and wanted to be quiet, and the imperial side urged me, I couldn't stay long, so I had to go first. ”
"Before leaving, I will unite some celebrities who are good friends with Gu Men, and let the empire make the honor that Gu Jiajun deserves public, I just hope that with these honors, those people can still have a face, and they will not kill Gu Men openly. ”
"But the empire miscalculated, I also miscalculated, from the alumni of Shuchuan Academy and the old department of my grandfather, took the baton of the rebel army, gathered private troops, openly and secretly resisted the orders of the empire, and went their own way, which is also the origin of the warlords. ”
"They also hope that your mother or me will come forward to represent Gumen to rebel against the empire, their actions have not only caused them to be severely suppressed, but the only remaining Gu family members have also been branded as traitors, I am not convinced by the empire, and simply united with the large and small warlords from Gumen, fled away, and quietly captured Shezhou, the easternmost Tianshui Road. ”
"After the Gu Sect was destroyed, no one in the Tianhuo Dao took the lead, and the empire could only send the monarch and the earth master to lead the troops, and the great princes and princes also took advantage of this chaotic situation to attack Xingkui, asking him to abdicate and replace, Gu Men, the rebel army, and the warlords have all become the reason for them to denounce Xingkui, and Xingkui is holding on to the death with the prestige created by his father. ”
"I took advantage of the chaos to unite this, and took advantage of that momentum to gain a firm foothold in Shezhou, and as soon as the wind opened, many people in various places learned from me as a warlord, some people wanted to reap benefits, some people were ambitious, and some people were going to seek benefits from the empire, and the empire was really chaotic. ”
"It wasn't until three years ago that Jun Shi was seriously injured on the battlefield of the Heavenly Fire Dao, and Xing Kui began to panic, he himself is a Seven Star Source Master, and his confidence comes from his father, the former founding of the country, and his teacher. ”
Ember explained, "The Emperor's teacher or elder is usually the Emperor's teacher, so as soon as the Emperor is seriously injured, his confidence is gone, and his credit and his father's prestige have long been consumed by him. ”
"He began to recruit me, asking me to come to Tianhuo Dao to fill this pit, and even promised me the position of Qingyang Dongjun. ”
"......" Xi Huanyan heard that all the melons had fallen, how could he feel that there was no good person.
"I don't believe his nonsense, but it is also my wish to defeat the Western Regions United Army, since he likes to promise so much, I will let him promise me three conditions in public, one is to make me the Duke of Tongzhou, if I withdraw from the Western Regions United Army in the future, half of the territory of Tianhuo Dao will belong to me, the second is to give me the power to establish a military academy and govern the Burning Sun Mansion alone, and the third is not to limit my troops. ”
In the Empire, military academies can only be established by the empire or must be managed by the empire, and the source students are defined as military talents by birth, and after graduating from the military academy, some of them will enter the army, and some will flow into the Scorching Sun Mansion.
As a special department against alien demons, the Scorching Sun Mansion must be established in every place, and only obey the orders of the Empire, including the Scorching Sun Mansion in the fiefdom of the Prince.
These two things can be said to be the foundation of the empire's strength.
Xingkui scolded her for being unfilial, intending to divide the territory left by Xinglian, but she still agreed to her request, because many princes wanted to take advantage of the serious injury of the monarch and the emperor to oust him, the ruler, in the name of the defeat of the Heavenly Fire Dao and the turmoil of the empire.
In fact, after Gu Men, the great dukes did not obey the orders of the empire very much, and waited for him to make the empire chaotic and clean up the world by himself.
The empire has been in turmoil for so many years, and it is not without the laissez-faire of these people in power. Bixing Kui couldn't see it clearly, thinking that he was the second Xinglian, and everyone respected him and was afraid of him.
Xi Huanyan's brain was dizzy when she heard the whole story, but she didn't forget what she was concerned about, "Who is the prophecy that caused the Gu clan to perish? Who is the leader of the rebel army who killed the Gu clan in reality? Who sent the Gu soldiers and the students of Shuchuan Academy to death? Who is the general of the Western Regions United Army?"
Xingyan nodded approvingly, "I can't be sure who did the prophesied case of destroying the door, so I can't give you any answer, the leader of that rebel army is the current General Zhao Mang, who has been the commander of the guards in the Imperial Palace, and the leader of the Western Regions United Army has changed several times, and it was Ling Ao, the Eight Star Source Division, who fought against the Gu Men soldiers and killed his grandfather." ”
"It's just that you have to know that in the military and political arena, just what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is not necessarily the whole truth. ”
