"What's the matter?" asked Lone Star curiously.

The shopkeeper said: "In the second year when Emperor Xiaotian ordered the conscription, Pingzhou, which originally belonged to the Chu State, but was finally divided by the Six Kingdoms and fell into the hands of the Qi State, a strange thing happened, and the 50,000 Qi officers and soldiers guarding the city died in one night. ”

"50,000 people died, did it ...... overnight"

Lone Star lowered his head and whispered, "Do you know who did it?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, " According to the local people, that night they killed Zhentian, and when they secretly opened the doors and windows the next day, they only saw a group of people who left in a hurry, and some said that they were hundreds, and some said that they were thousands, but the only thing that was certain was that the locals recognized that the leader was a person in a purple suit, but because of the sky, it was impossible to see whether it was a man or a woman, but I dare to conclude that the person must be the Emperor of Xiaotian himself。 ”

"Oh?"

Lone Star asked, "Why do the unfounded seniors believe so firmly that the leader is the Emperor of the Laughing Heavens?"

"Whether it is hundreds or thousands, for the enemy's 50,000 people, it is only a fraction of it, and it may not be enough, but to be able to slaughter the enemy's 50,000 people in one night with such a small number of people, and it is also 50,000 well-trained soldiers, it means that these people are definitely masters, even if they are not the best, they are not far behind. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper raised his hand and picked up a cup of tea in front of him, took a sip lightly, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, how deep should the leader's cultivation be, and this is obviously the work of the Great Chu Imperial Family, so I can't think of a second person who can do this kind of thing except for the Xiaotian Emperor himself, not to mention, the Xiaotian Emperor has a habit since he was a child, preferring purple ......."

Lone Star was suddenly taken aback: "Slaughtered 50,000 enemies in less than a few thousand people with just a few thousand people, and this Laughing Heaven Emperor's cultivation is so good!"

He originally thought that no one was perfect, and since this Xiaotian Emperor had such profound attainments in mental skills and scheming, he would definitely not be strong in cultivation, and he would never think that cultivation would be terrifying.

"The matter was not over, and on the third day of the Pingzhou incident, a similar incident occurred in Chuzhou, which was also subordinate to the state of Chu but was occupied by the state of Wu, and the 60,000 officers and soldiers defending the city shed blood overnight. ”

"It's the same people, right?"

If Lone Star had doubts about the shopkeeper's words just now, then it can now be concluded that these two things must have been done by the royal family, because except for the royal family and the four major families, there was no sect or force in the Chu State at that time that had the ability to do such a thing, and the reason why it was determined to be the royal family was because no matter from which point of view, the royal family was the biggest beneficiary of these two incidents.

"Hmm. ”

The shopkeeper answered, nodded and said: "Judging from the method of killing and the traces stained on the corpse, it is indeed from the same group of people, but this time this group of people did not rush to kill them all, but deliberately left a few living mouths, and asked them to go back to bring a word to their master." ”

"What, threats?" asked Lone Star speculatively.

"I don't know. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and said with some uncertainty: "It's a shame to say that the old man still hasn't understood the meaning of it, and I think only a few monarchs at that time can understand what this sentence expresses." ”

Lone Star was stunned, and suddenly saw the shopkeeper with a low voice, learning the tone of the Emperor who laughed at the sky back then, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell your master, and let him tell the rest of the countries, when the dragon breaks through the sky, everything here will be over." ”

"Canglong Breaking the Sky?"

Lone Star said in confusion, "What do you mean?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "The old man only knows that this Canglong is the collective name of the seven eastern houses in the twenty-eight nights, and as for the Canglong breaking the sky, the old man has never heard of it, and he didn't say it to us." ”

"I see. ”

Lone Star said eagerly: "Then what happened later, did the Song Kingdom, the Shu Kingdom, the Zhao Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom obediently hand over their territories?"

"Hand it over?"

The shopkeeper suddenly sneered: "How can there be a reason to spit out the fat meat in the mouth, in the face of the blood lesson of the Qi State and the Wu State in front, instead of withdrawing the army, they transferred a large army from the capital overnight to guard it, and the battle was about to break out, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. ”

"Is there going to be a war again, but four against one, the Chu State should not have a chance of winning. "Lone Star can't figure it out, but if the Chu State loses, when will the territory be recovered?

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head again and said: "To everyone's surprise, just when the world thought that the Chu State was angry, the Chu State once again withdrew and retreated as if it had been three years ago, and after that, there was no other action, and everything seemed to have happened as if nothing had happened, except for the corpses on the ground in Pingzhou and Chuzhou, which were declaring the tragedy of the great war. ”

"Stopped?"

Lone Star was stunned and said, "An emperor can endure to such an extent, it seems that the Six Kingdoms are really dangerous." ”

"And then, I think they must have paid an even more terrible price, right?"

"It's not painful, after all, Chu State is just taking back what belongs to him, of course, it is inevitable that the means will be slightly more drastic. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Just like that, three years later, still in one night, the tragedy of the year was staged again, the defenders of the five countries set up in the original Chu State were attacked and killed again, but the difference from the last two times is that this time it is not just the defenders of one country, but the defenders of Zhao, Yan and Wu were slaughtered on the spot at the same time, not only that, but the heads of those defenders were all cut off and piled on the side of the city wall, at a glance, it was much higher than the city wall. ”

"Did hundreds of thousands of defenders die overnight?"

Lone Star was surprised: "And it's not one place, it was attacked in three places, is it still the same group of people from before?"

The shopkeeper said: "I can't say this clearly, but one thing has been confirmed, the leader is still the same person back then, because on the day of the massacre, the people of the three cities all saw the same figure flashing in the city." ”

"The same figure?"

The shopkeeper snorted and said, "That's right, it's the person in the purple suit back then." ”

"Chu Xiaotian?" Lone Star couldn't help frowning, his intuition told him that this person was even more terrifying than he imagined, whether it was in terms of heart or cultivation, he showed unparalleled strength, making others lose color.

The shopkeeper said: "Perhaps, because of the sky, this time the local people still haven't seen it clearly, as for whether the figure is the Emperor Xiaotian himself, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, no one knows, in short, one thing can be sure is that what these people do represents is the meaning of the royal family of Chu State, there is no doubt about this." ”

"It's not a good feeling to be so provoked by a former subordinate, isn't it?" said Lone Star, picking up a cup and playing with it in his hand, a hint of boredom in his eyes, as if he had seen through something.

"Hehe, as soon as this incident came out, the world was shocked, and the spies of the Six Kingdoms reported the matter to their own saints in the first time, after learning about this, the three kings were furious, especially King Wu, he had been cut by Emperor Xiaotian more than once, and naturally it was difficult to swallow this evil breath in his heart, and he was about to lead the troops to commit it, and at this moment, a more important news was that he was given back alive. ”

The shopkeeper smiled lightly and picked up the cup in front of him, put it to his mouth and blew it slightly, the heat emitted from the cup suddenly rose in front of his eyes, and he looked at Lone Star so playfully and said, "Little brother, do you know what happened next?"
