It's the season of snow drifting in the moon again, and Lu Zhan has just celebrated his twentieth birthday alone, with no flowers and no wine, and only hides the loneliness of the ages with his own body.

At this time, ten months have passed since the attack on the "Blue Blood Pass".

During this period of battlefield battles, after the experience of corpses and blood, life and death fighting, Lu Zhan's state of mind has stabilized a lot, and his martial arts attainments have also reached the later stage of the realm of transforming strength. In addition, his newly acquired nickname "White Horse Silver Spear" is even more famous, and it shocks the entire territory of the Great Sui.

After nearly a year of Lu War, the capital of the Great Sui Empire had already been breached, and the last Sui Emperor fled the capital in a hurry with the remnants of the royal family, and fled to the extreme north.

The Eighth Prince took Lu Zhan and other generals under his command to pursue the victory, and pursued them all the way to the ice field in the extreme north, which was already the northernmost border of the Great Sui Empire.

During this period, thousands of miles of frozen snowfields, except for a very small number of uncivilized prehistoric aborigines, it is difficult to see signs of mortal survival.

Emperor Sui fled into this icy and snowy no-man's land with the remnants of the remnants loyal to the Great Sui, and the army of the Great Chu Empire was mostly southerners, and they were obviously unaccustomed to this extremely cold region, and they all said that it was difficult to endure such cold conditions, and the Eighth Prince had to temporarily stop the pursuit, and he retreated the main force of the army to camp outside the ice field, preparing to wait until the weather was warmer, and then rush into the ice field to clear the remnants of the Great Sui.

On this day, the generals were sitting in the tent of the Chinese army with the Eighth Emperor and gossiping, when they suddenly saw Qin Baiyu open the thick curtain and walk in, he waved a letter in his hand and bowed to the Eighth Prince and said, "Your Highness." I just received an urgent secret report from Beijing. The emperor's illness is getting heavier and heavier, and he is afraid that he is about to take advantage of the dragon. ”

"What?" the Eighth Emperor stood up with a sigh, "Why did my father's condition deteriorate so quickly?" The letter from the Queen Mother in the autumn also said that my father's condition had improved slightly, and that she wanted to wait until the summer of next year to come to the capital of the Great Sui Empire to take a look, and that she had comforted me with the long-cherished wish of the Great Chu Emperor for dozens of generations. ”

Qin Baiyu sighed and said: "The wounds on the emperor's body were left when he fought on the battlefield back then, and this kind of old injury is difficult to say accurately. Now His Majesty can't get out of bed at all, and in this case, it will be another one or two months. Maybe it's ......."

"Things are moving so quickly. The Eighth Prince paced in the Chinese military tent with some anxiety, and raised his head and asked Qin Baiyu: "What do the princes and the national teacher say?"

Qin Baiyu sneered: "They are there now to guard against it, for fear of leaking the news." These guys wish His Highness didn't know the news yet. After the emperor died, the crown prince would succeed to the throne directly. When Your Highness rushes back again, the wood is already in the boat, and it will be difficult to recover it. ”

"How can this be done?" Tie Heng patted his knees and shouted: "Damn, His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness has worked hard outside to conquer the Great Sui and laid down the great country, but they are sitting in the palace and enjoying it, how can there be such a good thing in the world." No, Your Highness, you have to rush back, and you have to snatch the throne of this new emperor no matter what. ”

"That's right, let's go back to Jingshi, anyway, we have the Floating Immortal Island in hand. ”

"You can't let them, the turtle grandchildren, just sit back and enjoy their success. Your Highness, this great Chu Jiangshan has no one to take care of except you. ”

"Yes, now let's lead the army back to the capital, and use the immortal machine cannon on the fairy island to blast those guys who perform intrigues and tricks into scum!"

The generals were excited, and they all stood up and shouted in response to Tie Heng's words.

The Eighth Prince turned his gaze to Qin Baiyu, Qin Baiyu nodded, "Your Highness, I think the time has come, Your Highness has led the army to sweep through the Great Sui in this year, and he has made outstanding achievements." Holding such a militaristic weapon as the Floating Immortal Island has long been the desire of the people of the world. This throne belongs to His Royal Highness, and if other forces hiding in the dark corners dare to covet the throne, we, the three million officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, will not agree to it first. ”...,

"Yes, we will not agree!" shouted the generals.

The eighth prince was silent at this time. Walking to the fire, he used his tongs to pluck the charcoal fire in the furnace. He stood there thoughtfully, muttering.

Qin Baiyu opened the gold lacquer folding fan with a "swish" and shook the fan to the generals. The generals immediately fell silent, and all their eyes focused on the Eighth Prince.

Lu Zhan was the only one among the group of expeditionary force generals who didn't seem so excited. He seemed to be outside the red dust, and seeing the people so passionate, he felt calm in his heart.

Although among these many people, his martial arts cultivation is now the highest, but he has no sorrow or joy in his heart, it seems that all kinds of things in this mortal world, whether it is fame and title, whether it is thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and even this supreme emperor has no sense of fetters with him.

His mind has long been beyond the narrow category of the rise and fall of the family and country in the mortal world.

Everyone was quiet for a while, Qin Baiyu couldn't help but cough dryly, and whispered to the Eighth Prince: "Your Highness is worried that this return will face a brotherly fight? Obviously, the four princes have decided to take refuge on the side of the crown prince, and they are determined to fight with His Royal Highness to the end. ”

Hearing this, the eighth prince sighed: "Alas, the prince and I were born to the same mother, but I am afraid that if I go back this time, if I am really unfortunate enough to kill each other, it will make the queen mother sad." The implication of his words is that before this, he had been fighting openly and secretly with the four princes, and as for the prince's side, he had never made it clear, just to take into account the feelings of the queen's side.

Qin Baiyu whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a generation of heroes, he must know the truth of 'when the judgment continues, the future will be endless'. "He said in a foreign voice that this is reminding the Eighth Prince, even if you don't attack the crown prince, the prince will not let us go.

Qin Baiyu continued: "Moreover, now that the victory of the Great Sui Empire here is basically decided, the Sui Emperor fled into the Great Ice Field with the remnants and stuck in the last few small frozen castles, where it is cold and snowy, and there is a lack of materials, and it is estimated that it will not be able to support them for long. As long as we send a few men and horses to seal off a few exits from the ice field, and cut off their supply routes to the outside world, they will not be able to hold on. Your Highness, it actually doesn't make much sense for you to be here to guard, it's better to take advantage of the emperor's still being there, and the class teacher will go back to the court, Your Highness, you can also meet the emperor directly and ask for the holy order, otherwise, I'm afraid that you won't have the opportunity to see the saint again, and the villains will cut off the path of holy hearing, which will hurt the foundation of the father and son. ”

This last sentence actually gave the eighth prince the best reason to go back, and the eighth prince finally nodded, turned around and ordered the generals in a loud voice: "The generals listen to the order, order to go down, and immediately prepare for the class to return to the court!"

In order to stabilize the existing results, the eighth prince left the main force of the army in various parts of the Great Sui Empire to continue to sweep and suppress, and he took a small number of elite troops and the top ten generals with the highest martial arts attainments under his command to rush to the capital of Chu in the starry night.

As the existence with the highest martial arts attainments in the current camp of the Eight Princes, and the only person whose strength can compete with the national teachers of the Heavenly Machine Academy, Lu Zhan has always attached great importance to and respected the Eight Princes. This time, he must have asked him to return to Jingshi together to help.

Of course, there is also the symbol of invincible strength - "Floating Immortal Island".

The land area of the Great Sui Empire is more than double that of Great Chu, and everyone rode the best BMW horses, day and night, and it took more than a month to rush back to the capital of Chu. At this time, it is the early spring season when the spring flowers are blooming.

When the north gate of the capital city of Chu was in sight, it was the time of sunset, and the remnant sun of blood sprinkled on the tall and magnificent gatehouse of the capital of Chu, reflecting the original ochre-brown tower in a particularly gloomy and solemn manner. ...,
