Chapter 5 Physical Examination
In the three years of the Demon Realm, according to Temujin's orders, the demon army surrounded the royal city of Sikulis, waiting for the final slaughter order.
In the evening, Temujin and his ministers gathered in the tent to discuss state affairs. Today was supposed to be the day he met with Elsis, but the last time they met, Elsis was persuading and scolding, and he turned a deaf ear to both hard and soft treatments, and finally even left.
The more Temujin thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he didn't know that the back of this tragedy was not pure, and from the many suspicious points, the person behind it was the rebels led by the three sages.
However, it was obviously their fault, why didn't she blame them, but instead pointed the finger at herself, hmph!
Temujin was angry and simply postponed the meeting, intending to miss the appointment and wait until the matter was dealt with before going to the appointment.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Temujin behind the armor became a little anxious. If she doesn't go, will Elsis be angry? Is she still waiting there? It's winter in the Duchy of Parocchi, it's time for snow, Elsis has always been confused, and she doesn't know how to add more clothes, she always likes to let herself hold her hand and help drive away the cold, she is alone in the wilderness, will she catch a cold?
For some reason, the uneasiness in his heart expanded rapidly, making it difficult for Temujin to sit still. Let's go and confirm her location! Even if you don't make an appointment, you should also confirm the location of Elsis, and rest assured, this is better. Temujin condensed his spirit, used the soul locking technique, and searched for Elsis's location thousands of miles away, trying to determine the whereabouts of Elsis.
"Ah!" to Temujin's surprise, Elsis was not in the Duchy of Paraki, and according to the sense of breath, she was in a northern country.
The rulers of that territory were a group of rough beasts, belonging to the side branches of the demon clan, and they were hard-line clansmen, and with their strong strength, they always liked to disagree with Temujin, so they sent the north far away. They are extremely hostile to humans, and they like to feed themselves on human flesh and blood, and if Elsis is found there, she will become a delicacy in the pot in a few moments.
"What is that stupid woman running there to do?" It stands to reason that Elsis is not a three-year-old child, since she wants to go deep into such a dangerous place, she must be guarded by a master, as long as any of the three sages are around, Longtan Tiger's Den will be worry-free.
However, after two years of getting along, Temujin thoroughly understood that this woman was a super straight single-celled creature, and what she did often did was without her brain, which always made Temujin, who was following him, glad that his nerves were strong enough.
The more Temujin thought about it, the more worried he became, and hurriedly said, "You can do it yourself!", and in a sudden silence, he cast a moving spell, turned into a black light, and flew away.
Yinzhen on the side sighed wordlessly, packed up the scrolls in his hand, pushed the door and left. The rest of the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, they don't know what happened, provoked His Majesty to suddenly flick his sleeves away, everyone has the same thoughts, just afraid that tomorrow someone's head will fall to the ground, and everyone is secretly praying that the quota will not fall on their heads.
The black light fell to the ground, and Temujin appeared, and what appeared in front of him was a scene that made his heart tremble. Elsis was tied to a pillar, her hands and feet oozing blood, her eyes closed, as if unconscious, surrounded by a group of mace-wielding demons, singing in a carnival, the knife bearer in charge of the slaughter task, about to swing the knife.
"Stop!"
When the ≥ Buddha first met the scene, Temujin was so shocked that he flew out of the sky, shouted, and the "Spirit Explosion Demon Finger" waved his hand, and two lasers shot at the demons.
As early as at the beginning, Temujin's Soul Burst Demon Finger was enough to wipe out the entire team of orc soldiers, and after two years, the cultivation of the Heavenly Demon Gong had increased to the point that it was impossible to calculate, and the situation was dangerous, and the subordinates were even more ruthless, so they used all their strength, and all the demons didn't have time to figure out what was going on, so they gave this finger like the roar of the Nine Heavens of Thunder, and it was blown up, and it was wiped out, leaving no residue.
"Oops!" the fingers burst out, Temujin secretly screamed that it was not good, just because of anxiety, he lost his mind in a hurry, and he was bent on killing the enemy, those two fingers, without reservation, were the strength of his life, after killing the demons, the whirlwind formed by the remaining strength was enough to break the bones of the first-class master, Elsis was in it, how could he bear it.
I only heard a "bump", and the ground gave a huge explosion force, breaking a deep pit, and Elsis, who was tied to the pillar, was like a kite with a broken string, blasted into the air and flew far away.
"Elsis!" Temujin roared, flying into the air and catching Elsis. I saw that Yiren's face was like purple gold, a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and Bo Bo flowed out, obviously his internal organs had been ruptured in many places, and he was seriously injured.
Temujin hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground and poured a body of internal force, without reservation, into Elsis's body to suppress the wounds and stop the bleeding, hoping to save her life.
Temu's heart was full of self-blame, it was all his fault, if he hadn't deliberately broken the appointment, if he hadn't done it lightly, how could Elsis be like this. While exercising, Temujin desperately prayed to the ancestors of the demon clan and the gods of mankind that he would not take Elsis away so early, as long as he could save the woman's life, he would be willing to exchange anything for it.
It was only at this moment that Temujin realized how important Elsis's status was in his heart, and as long as Elsis was safe and sound, he would agree to whatever she asked.
"Small, Little Iron"
"Elcis. Don't speak, I'll use my luck to suppress your injuries. ”
After rescuing for a while, Elsis's eyes opened slightly, and she murmured a few times.
"Strong, powerful power, can only, can only bring, grief and death, no way, no way to create tomorrow, you ......"
Temujin suddenly realized that Elsis did not hesitate to gamble his life and defy the law in order to advise him that there was no way to solve the matter with bloody revenge, and that those who wanted to solve things with strength would one day suffer the bitter consequences of power. I already knew these things, didn't I? However, because she didn't understand them in time, she stubbornly wanted to solve everything by strength, which made Elsis fall into such pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Temujin's voice was hoarse, like a child who had done something wrong, and he desperately apologized.
The Heavenly Demon Skill is the first divine skill in the world, after a round of luck, Elsis's life was finally saved, and for the two of them, this day's meeting can be said to be an unforgettable memory!
At the dawn of the day, the people of the city of Sikulis, holding their breath, waited for the dawn.
The Demon King Army has already made a declaration that it will make a judgment at the moment of dawn. And the demon army besieging the city, maintaining weapons, all gearing up, and preparing to do a big job, made everyone in the city extremely pessimistic about their fate. The magnates in the city had already fled, and those who stayed behind were ordinary people who got the news too late, and only after the demon army besieged the city did they know that the situation was not good. The lord of the country, who was originally a minister, assassinated the lord when the demon army invaded the human realm, and Kaesong surrendered, so he won the appreciation of the demons, and therefore attracted the resentment of the rebels, so he chose to assassinate here.
However, all the royal families received a voice in the morning, and they were pampered, and they had no spirit of living and dying with the people, so they took advantage of the darkness to collect the treasures, opened the city gates and fled for their lives, leaving the city full of panicked civilians. People open their empty eyes, staring at the surrounding scenery, in their hearts, whether it is the demon army or the rebel army, they are all hateful guys, the demons are hateful, and the rebels under the banner of justice are equally hateful, the guys who let them fall into such a desperate situation, aren't they?
Hugging their families and enjoying the warmth of the last moment, there are many people who were originally living in other places, because they heard that their families were going to be slaughtered, and they rushed back to live and die with their families. What a sad thing it is, and what a miserable end awaits them.
The first light of dawn, piercing through the thick clouds, shone on everyone, and for the people of Sikulis, this light undoubtedly rang with the death knell.
A gust of wind blew, and the demon in black armor descended on the city, and his appearance was so natural, but no one could see how this black shadow appeared.
Temujin slowly paced to the city tower, incomparable majesty, supreme dignity, the demon soldiers on both sides, intimidated by this momentum, moved by themselves, and bowed down one after another.
Temujin stood on the tower, his eyes swept coldly across the crowd. The populace had long since reacted, just numbly waiting for the announcement of death.
The black demon didn't speak, just silently removed the armor of his left arm, and in his right hand, the snow-bright dagger was shining in the wind, and he made a deep and long cut on his left arm, and the bright red blood immediately splashed in the air.
Everyone still couldn't figure out what was going on, and when they saw the blood spilled, they woke up, exclaimed, and acted as a retinue of costumes, and rushed up to stop the bleeding for His Majesty. With a wave of his hand, Temujin stopped the attendant from stepping forward, and his deep voice slowly emanated from behind his armor.
"I deeply regret the occurrence of this tragedy, and I will pursue the real murderer to the end, but the act of returning blood for blood and tooth for tooth will only cause deeper grief and will not help. ”
"If there must be someone who pays the price of blood for this tragedy, then put all the blame on me! Today, I sacrifice my own blood to comfort the souls of the dead. ”
Temujin raised his left hand, blood dripped down his arm, dripping to the ground, and the sound of ticking seemed to be some kind of mourning, praying for the blessings of the deceased.
"Their lives will not disappear meaninglessly, and I hope that through the death of the virtuous ministers, a new century can be created and another way of survival can be opened. ”
"The demons, the human race, and the various races on the continent should have a common way of survival, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence, so that this kind of sad thing can be put an end to from now on. ”
"As long as we have the heart, we can also create an ideal country. In the name of Temujin, I swear to the departed virtuous ministers that I will create an ideal nation where all races can live together peacefully and prosper together. ”
The Praetorian Guards who followed Temujin's side, the majority of the reformist demons, and there were also people of other races, were moved to tears when they heard such an impassioned statement, and they were speechless, hoarse, and shouted long live on the ground.
The crowd, which had been sluggish, began to react in various ways, some hid their faces and wept bitterly, some hugged their families, laughed heartily, suddenly liberated from the abyss of mortality, everyone was in a state of ecstasy, they had been abandoned by the gods, and cursed everything in anger, but now they were unexpectedly saved, and no matter who they were, they would offer their loyalty and joy without reservation.
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live my lord Temujin. ”
"The Holy Lord of the ages, Temujin has been eternal. ”
All of them, regardless of race, fell into a state of madness, and they wept, screamed, and screamed because of their extreme emotion, and at this moment, Temujin completely captured their hearts, and won the ardent support of even the great masters of human history.
"That's enough! Looking at the wave of joy of the crowd, Temujin whispered silently to someone who was not present. Don't rule with violence, but win people's hearts with legitimate means, this is what you call Mingjun!
The demon radicals in the field were shocked, they originally expected to see a bloody slaughter of the city, but they never expected that things would change so drastically, and now, they fully felt the high emotions of the people around them, and everyone was in danger, worried that they would become victims of this wild flow.
Yinzhen on the side watched coldly. These people were not really moved by Temujin's reform policies, but simply shouted unconditionally out of the mood of being rescued. However, from a political point of view, the propaganda significance of this incident is unimaginable. The people of Sikulis were abandoned by the rulers, and the rebels, who had always flaunted the banner of justice, failed to show any effect, and it was the demon king of the demon race who really rescued this group of people. This incident clearly turned all kinds of inferior aspects of mankind into negative teaching materials, but it greatly increased the status of Temujin, and there must be more and more people who were inspired by him to join the reform in earnest.
However, it was really amazing! In his memory, there had never been a high-ranking demon who had ever received the cheers of his race, and even if there was, it was also a wail under violent coercion, and it was by no means like now, everyone was full of joy and shouted sincerely. This is the so-called "people's heart"! Yinzhen was deeply shocked, for the first time in his life, he felt afraid of the power of the masses, in the near future, this ardent people's hearts will turn into a torrent, flooding every corner of the Continent of Winds, and the great cause of reform will come to fruition from then on, and it can no longer be suppressed.
Stepping off the stage, Temujin walked up to his brother and whispered, "I'm sorry! ”
For a long time, Yinzhen, who was in favor of soft rule, had reservations about Temujin's reforms, and he believed that humans and demons should still maintain a certain distance and should not flatten the relationship between each other.
Today's reform announcement, he did not know in advance that Temujin felt sorry for his brother for such arbitrariness, and that he had failed to avenge his dead relatives, perhaps his brother would be unhappy, and Temujin would immediately interview his brother.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, I'm glad that the child has grown up and can decide things on his own. With a warm smile, Yinzhen patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
"Fourth brother. ”
"Don't use that voice, manly man, dare to be. Yin Zhen laughed and said: "Go and implement your choice, the fourth brother will support you." ”
"Thank you, Fourth Brother. ”
"However, if you make the wrong choice, you will go to hell and be roasted by fire. ”
"Fourth brother, you're here again. ”
"Hahahaha"
Being able to get the support of his brother, Temujin was overjoyed, and Yinzhen's approval was not only a big boost to political strength, but also had psychological significance. For this fourth brother, who grew up together, cared for him so much, and was higher than the sky, no matter what happened, Temujin hoped to get his blessing.
It's just that at this time, although Temujin was full of confidence, he still lacked a little experience, and he still couldn't understand the true meaning behind the ancient saying "Zhu Men Xianda laughed and talked about the crown, and Prime Minister Bai knew how to press the sword".
