Chapter 406: True Power
readx;? This day was the seventh day after Zhong Yu and Lan Xiu's decisive battle, like a boulder falling into the water without ripples, the peace of the Heavenly Dream Continent was shattered by a piece of news, somewhere in the endless wilderness closest to the Golden Xi Empire, a moon-white light nearly a hundred zhang wide rose into the sky, although this light was only white, its brilliance almost covered the sun, and creatures within a hundred miles, whether they were people or demonic beasts, could see this strange pillar of light.

Although the Endless Wilderness is sparsely populated and almost a world of demonic beasts and all kinds of strange plants, that doesn't mean that there won't be people among them, and humans who have stepped into the Endless Wilderness for various reasons can see this pillar of light and show different emotions. Zhong then entered the endless wilderness from the southernmost part of the Qiwen Empire, if he walked from a prosperous place, he would need to walk through the Izuyang Empire for a long time to reach the Jinxi Empire, because the distance was too far, so Zhong Yu had no chance to see this amazing vision, and he missed the beginning of a shocking event in the annals of the Heavenly Dream Continent.
Within three days of the appearance of that pillar of light, the news spread to the various powers around the Jinxi Empire, and the Jinxi Empire bore the brunt of the shocking news. In a garden outside the palace, this garden occupies an area of an unknown area, among which there are many green grasses and trees, and almost all of them are refreshing green, and a few thin drops of rain are falling, like a broken silk thread that makes people's hearts flood with a touch of sadness.
In the corner of the garden, more than 20 people stood in front of many tombstones, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon stood at the front, and the others stood solemnly and respectfully five meters away from this person, not only did they not have any conversation or even an extra blink of an eye, the middle-aged man in the white robe just looked at the two tombstones in front of him in a daze, his eyes were flowing with endless tenderness and sorrow, let the rain beat on his skin, but he didn't realize it.
Suddenly, a very light footstep came into this person's ears, pulling his trance-like spirit back to reality, his eyebrows, which were already slightly gray, suddenly wrinkled, and the previous tenderness and sadness instantly turned into the coldness of staying on the throne for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at the person who interrupted his thoughts, and only when he came to his approach did the middle-aged man speak: "Wu Yi, what happened." ”
"Returning to Your Majesty, a strange thing has happened in the endless wilderness about three hundred miles away from the Empire, a white light rises up into the sky, almost obscuring the light of the sun. The two people in this conversation are very important to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu can always struggle in despair, leaving a body in the death of his heart, so to say that he can see them one day and let them feel their despair and pain back then.
This middle-aged man standing in front of the tombstone exuding sentimental feelings, this generation of kings who have been on the throne for decades and regard human life as ants, he is Yang Ran, the emperor of the Jinxi Empire, nearly seven years ago, it was the king of a country who issued a hunt and kill order to make Zhong Yu fall into a frightened escape, so that a friend Zhong Yu cared about the most fell into a bottomless cliff in front of his eyes, leaving only darkness and hatred in the heart of a young man, he can be regarded as Zhong Yu's biggest enemy, but he is definitely not the only enemy.
After listening to Wu Yi's words, Yang Ran showed a surprised expression, this kind of thing has not happened in the annals, and every time this kind of thing happens, it almost means that there will be a heavy treasure born, he just pondered for a while and spoke again: "Back to the palace" After saying this, Yang Ran glanced at the two tombstones that had existed for I don't know how many years, and the thin rain slid down from the tombstones, leaving extremely light water marks.
The conspicuous character Yang Ao was painted gold, and the inscription on the tombstone next to it indicated that its owner was the emperor's concubine. This glance was enough to see the three breaths, but no one in the field dared to disturb him, Yang Ran looked away with difficulty and then raised his feet to leave, at this time someone walked up to Yang Ran and held up a cloth umbrella for him, Yang Ran glanced at Wu Yi, his words were very light, and there seemed to be a deep chill hidden in them: "I said that no one is allowed to disturb me when I accompany them." ”
"Your Majesty" Wu Yi just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Ran's faint cold words: "For the sake of your years of hard work, forget it this time, but don't have a next time." "Yes!" Wu Yi replied tremblingly, and he didn't dare to have the slightest defense: "That little bastard still doesn't have the slightest news?"
Hearing this, Wu Yi's heart was cold, of course he knew who the little bastard in Yang Ran's mouth was, this emperor would not usually say such foul language, except for the person who made him unforgettable, this title would hardly be used on anyone, because the other people who made Yang Ran angry were either dead or worse than dead, but this person was at large for so long, but this person was still the person Yang Ran hated the most in his life. Wu Yi hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "I sent someone to ask today, but there has been no progress from the Law Enforcement Court. ”
"It's really a waste! Let Bi Yi go down, and let the Law Enforcement Agency change another person. Wu Yi seemed to have known this result for a long time, and he nodded directly. In fact, the current Yang Ran has been somewhat restrained, the Law Enforcement Yuan is an institution that specializes in chasing and killing fugitives from the empire and completing some shady tasks, since the killing of the prince who shocked the entire empire began to occur nearly seven years ago, this law enforcement court has been in dire straits.
The director of the law enforcement institute was ordered by the emperor to take Zhong Yu to see him regardless of life or death within three months, and finally he did not catch Zhong Yu, Yang Ran was angry and directly cut the person, and then the four law enforcement department directors took the old road of the first general director and ended up with hatred, since then no one dared to hold this position, this position was shelved for about half a year, the emperor saw this and ordered to send someone to take this position, during which three more directors died and escaped.
Later, it was the old man who spoke out to stop Yang Ran's crazy behavior, and now Yang Ran just gave the Law Enforcement Yuan a fixed deadline, and if there was no progress in the time limit, he would directly kick the incumbent general secretary from a high position, although this situation still made many ministers in the DPRK and China dissatisfied, but no one dared to say a word about this matter, because the person who spoke before was either in prison or dead, they understood that the best thing to do about this matter was to remain silent, and they could only hope that the old man in the palace would come out and speak again.
Wu Yi thought about the sorrow of the Law Enforcement Institute in his mind, but he didn't dare to say much, Yang Ran's expression became gloomy: "It's been almost seven years, although the Jinxi Empire is big, but I have tried my best to find it for seven years! Where can he hide?" Wu Yi showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, could that Zhong Yu have died in the Dark Forest seven years ago." ”
Hearing this, Yang Ran shook his head indifferently: "I can feel that he is still alive, like a thorn in my heart." Wu Yi was silent for a while: "Your Majesty, we have searched for the whole country for seven years and have not been able to find him, he is either dead or no longer in the Jinxi Empire." "Huh?" Yang Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Yi: "You also know how strict the Jinxi Empire's search for Zhong Yu is, it is impossible for him to go from Jintaicheng to other empires or places." ”
Hearing this, Wu Yi nodded, of course he knew about Zhong Yu's search, almost no one in the empire had ever enjoyed this kind of treatment, and with those rewards, Wu Yi dared to conclude that Zhong Yu would be besieged by everyone in an instant as soon as he appeared: "But apart from these two possibilities, there seems to be no other result, isn't it that Zhong Yu has been living in the inner side of the Dark Forest for seven years?" "This is even more impossible, he was just a small Martial Emperor back then, and any demonic beast inside the Dark Forest could easily kill him." ”
Wu Yi shook his head in distress: "I really don't know what Zhong Yu has gone through, causing it to evaporate from the world in the past seven years." In fact, this Wu Commander was more inclined to the answer that Zhong Yu had already died in the Dark Forest, but since Yang Ran had to say that he could feel that Zhong Yu was still alive, Wu Yi naturally didn't dare to sing against this emperor. Yang Ran didn't know what Wu Yi was thinking in his heart, the coldness in his eyes almost froze the raindrops around him: "No matter how long it takes, keep sending someone to find it, even just seeing his corpse can let me get rid of the thorn in my heart, if he doesn't die, I will not be able to feel at ease in my life." ”
"Yes!"
Yang Ran was silent for a while and then spoke: "Is there anything else special about that light?" Wu Yi said after hearing this, he pondered a little: "Back to Your Majesty, the person who told you did say that there are other strange things, but" Yang Ran frowned slightly: "Just what?" He said that it might be his hallucination, and he saw that there seemed to be many moons in the pillar of light, whether it was a waning moon or a full moon. ”
"The moon?"
Yang Ran was a little surprised, he frowned again, and Wu Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, he also said that this may just be an illusion." Yang Ran nodded when he heard this, and the two walked towards the palace while chatting. After returning to the palace, Wu Yi retreated on his own, Yang Ran was only followed by a few palace maids, he walked in a direction all the way, passing through many courtyards and corridors, I don't know how long they walked, they saw a small courtyard in the distance.
This small courtyard is alone in a corner of the palace, and the nearest building is thirty meters away, even the palace maids and chamberlains will not pass here, from a distance, you can see a few peach trees growing tall in the courtyard, Yang Ran and the four maidservants behind him are walking on a bluestone paved path, there is only an inch of grass growing between the bluestone and the bluestone, the path is deep and quiet, walking here is like leading to an unknown palace makes people feel mysterious and excited.
When he was still about ten meters away from the courtyard, Yang Ran raised his hand: "You guys are waiting here." "Yes" A soft voice came, Yang Ran continued to walk towards the courtyard, and when he walked to the door of the courtyard, Yang Ran tidied up his clothes again: "Ran'er, come in." ”
After hearing this voice, Yang Ran directly pushed open the door of the courtyard, in addition to many peach trees, there is also a lot of green grass in the courtyard, in the middle of a pair of stone tables and chairs, an old man sits there quietly drinking tea, if this scene is placed elsewhere, it will make people feel the old man's leisure, but many people in the Jinxi Empire know that this old man is not leisurely at all, he is the real king of the Jinxi Empire, whether it is power or fame.
