Chapter 595: Before the War
Three days later, Si Qian and Si Jiu set off for the desert.
It was a secret trip, without many people, only the two of them, saying goodbye to Chenguang in the Phoenix Palace in the early morning, and then setting off.
Si Jiu carried a small white burden on his back, floated beside Si Qian, and walked in the direction of Changxin Gate.
Suddenly, Si Qian stopped.
Si Jiu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stopped, and glanced at Si Qian suspiciously.
Si Qian shook his head in the direction behind her.
Si Jiu was slightly stunned, turned around suspiciously, and looked back.
His Royal Highness stood outside the second floor of the Changxin Palace, dressed in a snow-white robe embroidered with a red phoenix, and there was a fire dance standing beside him, and behind him were Si Qi, Si 8 and Si Shi. They were standing on the tower and looking at them, the tower was very high, and she stood in front of the gate of Changxin and looked at the people on the tower, and she felt very small, as if it were fake, and she must have felt the same way when His Highness looked down on her from the tower.
Many years ago, His Royal Highness once stood on the top of the head of the god of fire in the mountain palace of the Holy Son and gave orders, at that time she stepped on the head of the god of fire, which was a blasphemy against the supreme god of the phoenix underworld, at that time she was powerful, savage, and fierce, like the most cruel and bloodthirsty beast in the desert, at that time, her bloody and gorgeous "evil" was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
Now, she is standing on the luxurious palace in the palace that already belongs to the Feng Ming Kingdom, she is gorgeous, noble, and proud...... These are not enough, she will be more gorgeous, noble, and arrogant in the future!
Chenguang saw her turn around, smiled, and waved his hand at her.
Si Jiu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the Changxin Hall in silence.
On the Changxin Palace, Chenguang's hand, who was shaking her hand at Si Jiu, stopped, she looked at Si Jiu's movements, and slowly put her hand down.
Si Jiu quickly stood up, turned around, and without looking back, she and Si Qian walked out of the Changxin Gate and left.
Chenguang was still standing on the hall of Changxin, looking in the direction they had left, and did not move for a long time.
"I tried my best to climb up, just to be able to die freely, but I ignored it, and I still have to die." After a long time, she suddenly spoke, whispering.
"It's all about dying, and it's better to die freely than to die uncomfortably." Si Ba said that this was not an environment where she could interject, but she said it anyway.
Chenguang laughed, she repeated softly, "It's much better...... she laughed, and after a while, she turned around and walked back, "Xuan Luo Song enters the palace!" ”
"Yes." The fire dance should be solemn.
……
Cangqiu Imperial Palace.
Liyuan.
Shuyu sat on her knees in front of the piano and was playing a tune-in tune.
At this moment, the confidant eunuch Li Rui hurriedly rushed in, lowered his voice, and urged:
"Childe, this morning to His Royal Highness King Sakura played His Majesty, and proposed that in order to prevent the Chiyang Kingdom from suddenly launching an attack, gather the 500,000 main forces in the country to the southern border of Chen Bing, which can not only play a deterrent role, but also prevent the attack of the Chiyang Kingdom."
Shuyu's fingers plucking the strings stopped, he was not surprised by the news, the current situation, the current situation, the current atmosphere, the current attitude of various countries, everything shows that this continent is about to enter a war.
Tracing back to the source, this war did not happen suddenly, but after years of accumulation, it has finally reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out.
This war, neither sooner or later, began now, in the age when he was alive, not in the age of his ancestors, nor in the age of his descendants, but in his time.
Suyu took a deep breath.
He is meticulous, it is not a voluntary choice, he is chosen, because he is forced, even if he is doing work that will cause war every day, but deep down his thoughts are no different from ordinary people, he does not want war, he cherishes peace. The word "war" fell into his mind, and although he had prepared in advance, he still panicked.
"King Sakura proposed Chen Bing, what did the other adults say?" He regrouped his thoughts, spoke slowly, and asked.
"The faction led by King Yingwu strongly opposed King Sakura's proposal, King Yingwu said that the volcano that Cangqiu Country and Chiyang Country are fighting for now is a borderless land, even if Cangqiu Country and Chiyang Country are fighting, Cangqiu Country will not take care of the loss, and Cangqiu Country will fight for integrity. But now Chen Bing is in the south, it is tantamount to telling the Chiyang Kingdom that it can start a full-scale war, this is a provocation to provoke a war, this is a child's play with the lives of the people of Cangqiu Country, once the war starts, it will be ruined, and in the end, it is the people who suffer. ”
Shuyu agrees with King Yingwu's opinion, but he also knows that King Sakura wants to make a windfall through the war to enrich the national strength of Cangqiu Kingdom, and the reason why the people are suffering cannot be persuaded by this reason.
"Your Majesty approved King Sakura's proposal, and after leaving the court, he began to deploy troops." Li Rui continued.
And so it was.
Suyu sneered.
Your Majesty is still a doll, and that's just a puppet of King Sakura.
……
Chiyang Country.
Holy City.
Lingwang Mansion.
Dou Xuan was forced to recuperate at home because of an assassination not long ago, and this assassination maliciously separated him from Emperor Chiyang, who had always reused him, and it was also because of this separation that he had to stay in the palace at this juncture and couldn't go out.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty summoned General Hong and others into the Yongning Hall last night, and they have not come out so far, and the eunuch on duty has spread the word for the people inside, it seems that he is discussing the matter of starting a war against the Cangqiu Kingdom."
"The result?" Dou Xuan sat lazily on the couch, wrapped in a cloak of wind fur, and asked casually.
"The results haven't come out yet, but I heard that half of them are in the main battle, and His Majesty also wants to fight."
Dou Xuan sneered: "Of course, Your Majesty's lifelong wish is to rule the world and record his name on the first page of the history books of the Chiyang Empire." ”
"Your Majesty also mentioned Long Xiguo, saying that this time Cangqiu Country will not be able to escape, and it will definitely be destroyed by Chiyang Country."
"Hmph, it's really related to Emperor Longxi, no wonder he is so bold this time, he wants to fight hard with Cangqiu Kingdom. It's just that whether Emperor Longxi can be relied on or not is another thing, that Emperor Longxi doesn't seem to have any ambitions, but he is actually a wolf pretending to be a sheep. ”
Gao Hua frowned, thought for a while, and asked carefully, "Does Your Highness want to make a statement to Your Majesty?" This war may be detrimental to the Chiyang Kingdom. ”
"Why does this king want to go to Yanyan, Your Majesty, he can do whatever he wants, isn't it just a war, just fight." Dou Xuan sipped a glass of Heavenly Immortal Brew, hooked the corners of his lips, and said disapprerovingly, as if whether or not to go to war had nothing to do with him.
Gao Hua couldn't figure out his mind for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he didn't dare to speak again.
Dou Xuan sipped the Heavenly Immortal Brew slowly, and after a while, he said:
"Close the door of the house, and whoever comes to visit will say that the king has not recovered from his serious injuries and will not be seen."
"Yes." Gao Hua hurriedly responded.
Dou Xuan sneered.
