In the eighteenth year of the Apocalypse, a war broke out between the coalition forces of the Xiling Temple and the desolate people. Without any foreshadowing, without any negotiation, and without any temptation, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides began to fight on the wasteland, countless people died every moment, and those lofty and proud cultivators on weekdays worked hard like ordinary soldiers on the stormy battlefield, even the powerhouses of the Cave Xuan Realm could become nameless corpses in the grass at any time.

In the past few years, the Xiling Temple, which seems to be a little low-key, finally showed the demeanor and majesty of dominating the world, and the head of the Xiling Temple led the Heavenly Oracle, the two divine seats, and the powerful temple cavalry, came to the wasteland, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty or the Chongming prince of the Yan Kingdom, and the kings of the Central Plains countries woke up in shock, gathered the troops as quickly as possible, and personally led the troops into the wasteland to fight.

A few days later, another shocking news came out from Chang'an City, His Majesty Li Zhongyi, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had led the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry north into the wasteland more than ten days ago, and was about to arrive in Helan City.

It was only at this time that hundreds of millions of Haotian believers in the human world finally truly realized that the invasion of the underworld was not a legend, otherwise the great forces in the world, why would they show such a nervous attitude and gather such a terrifying army to kill into the wasteland because of the daughter of the Hades?

The Tang Empire entered the wasteland with more than 100,000 troops, and the northeast border army all opened Tuyang City, under the leadership of General Xian Zhilang, according to the Yan Realm to break through to the north, and it only took a short period of time to come to the main battlefield in the depths of the wasteland, and join the Xiling Temple Alliance.

The most powerful northern army of the Tang Empire. Although he was responsible for monitoring and deterring the Golden Horde's court, he still dispatched more than half of his troops and followed the imperial drive of His Majesty the Emperor to Helan City.

"In this war, I don't know how many sons will be able to return to Datang. ”

His Majesty Li Zhongyi, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, stood on the eastern wall of Helan City, looking at the northern army iron cavalry that was marching eastward in order in the riding path at the bottom of the canyon. His expression was calm, but there was some deep emotion.

Master Huang Yang stood beside His Majesty the Emperor, and he silently chanted the scriptures without speaking.

General Helan Khan Qing. Standing behind His Majesty, he thought that he was the most loyal servant of the Emperor, so there were many things that were inconvenient for other courtiers and generals to say. I should have said.

"Your Majesty, although the imperial expedition can greatly shock the military might, but the expedition of thousands of miles, far away from the country, is too powerful, especially the national teacher cannot accompany him, and the academy has not sent people to ......"

The emperor waved his hand to stop Khan Qing's admonition, and said: "The music above the court is flying like snowflakes, and the four generals led by Xu Shi are eager to write blood letters. I just don't want me to leave Chang'an, if it weren't for the fact that I saw the opportunity and left a few days in advance, I was afraid that there would really be ministers who would hit the palace wall, and now I have listened to your opinions and stayed in Helan City and did not continue to move east. Are you still dissatisfied, you brute?"

Han Qing has half barbarian blood, if it is not for the trust of the emperor, it is difficult to achieve such a high position in the Tang army, so on weekdays, he is most afraid of others calling himself a barbarian, but the emperor is naturally different, he called the Han Qing barbarian, that is just a habit in the past. Khan Qing can only feel close to pride.

But today, where did he feel proud, thinking about the tragic battlefield hundreds of miles away to the east of the canyon, thinking that those terrifying cultivation powerhouses were so close to His Majesty, his voice trembled a little: "I still insist that even if Your Majesty wants to sit in the army, he should retreat to the North Daying." ”

The emperor was slightly annoyed and said, "I have let you look at Helan City for so many years, do you still think that Helan City cannot be defended?"

When Han Qing heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Helan City is impregnable...... But His Majesty, now the strong people in the wasteland are gathered. ”

The emperor said: "The strong man of the desolate people, if you have to deal with those big people in the Xiling Temple, they are all miserable, how can you have the strength and spirit to assassinate me?"

At this time, there was no one else on the city wall, Han Qing glanced at Master Huangyang, struggled for a moment and then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I'm worried...... It's the big men of the temple. ”

At this time, on the Eastern Wilderness, the head of the Xiling Shrine was in person, and there were two great priests of the Heavenly Decree and the Judgment, as well as the Hakka masters hidden in the Daomen in the countries, this kind of lineup was not only luxurious, it was simply the most magnificent and vast formation in the past hundred years, and there was no other place to be able to row it except the academy.

His Majesty the Emperor was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed out loud, and said: "Daomen has always been unpleasant to see my Tang Dynasty, and now it is difficult for me to come out of Chang'an City, if you want to say whether they will have any thoughts, I really can't say, your worries are also reasonable, but I don't believe it, those big people in the temple dare to really be unfavorable to me." ”

Han Qing listened to the heroic atmosphere in His Majesty's words, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, knowing that with the temperament of the Tang people, when it comes to courage, it will be difficult to persuade, but he is still a little unwilling, and said: "Half of the Northern Army has been transferred to the Eastern Wilderness, what should I do if the Golden Horde is unstable......?"

His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, and said, "With Xu Chi sitting in Beidaying, what do I have to worry about?"

Xu Chi is one of the four great generals of the Tang Empire, he has always been calm and low-key, and his reputation is far inferior to that of Xu Shi, the general of the Zhenguo, and not as good as the general Xiahou of the Zhenjun back then, but the defense of this general is unparalleled, and the Tang Empire and the Golden Horde court must remain stable, so he has always been in charge of the Northern Army.

Khan Qing had no way to slander General Xu Chi's ability, and he couldn't help but sweat all over his head.

Seeing his depressed expression, the emperor couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand to signal him to step back...... The sun is setting in the west, shining on Helan City, the east-facing city wall is slightly dark, the Tang Iron Horse has all passed the guò canyon to the Eastern Wilderness, but the emperor is still standing on the city wall, touching the railing, looking into the distance, thoughtfully, his temples have turned white, but there is no old state on his face, but he is a lot thinner than in previous years.

The wasteland is much colder than Chang'an, there is no sunlight in the body at this time, the wild wind is coming through the gorge, the emperor frowned slightly, raised his hand and clenched his fist to his lips, forcibly suppressed the cough, and then took out a bottle of pill from his arms and took one.

"After all, antitussive medicine can only cure the surface, not the root cause. Eating too much is not good for the body. ”

Master Huang Yang looked at him worriedly and said. He and His Majesty the Emperor Xià have known each other many years ago, and since the return of studying Buddhism in the Hanging Temple, the two have married Jin Lan, so they speak and act differently from ordinary courtiers, and they are very direct.

His Majesty the Emperor smiled slightly and said, "After so many years, I still can't cure the root cause." That's to make yourself more comfortable. ”

Huang Yang asked, "Your Majesty, are you really not worried?"

When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What are you worried about? The Golden Horde Court's Shan Yu or those gods of the Xiling Shrine? I don't believe that the Court of the Golden Horde dares to come. ”

Huang Yang looked at the indifferent and confident expression between His Majesty's words, and couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that he had forgotten when His Majesty was the crown prince. was once an invincible generation of famous generals in northern Xinjiang, and the Golden Horde didn't know how much he had suffered in his hands, and where he dared to challenge lightly, but he was just ......

The emperor guessed that his worries were the same as those of Han Qing, and shook his head and said, "If the Xiling Temple wants me to die, they must attack with all their might, but their target now is the desolate man, the daughter of the Hades King. ”

"And how dare they come and assassinate me? ”

Huang Yang was silent for a moment and then said, "Actually, I'm more worried about Chang'an City. ”

His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Do you think it's inappropriate for the princess to supervise the country?"

Huang Yang thought to himself, not only did he feel that it was inappropriate for Her Royal Highness the princess to supervise the country, but countless ministers in the Tang Dynasty and even the people on the street. They all felt that this matter was very inappropriate, so they drove to the wasteland, and took those two with them, if something happened, Chang'an City was afraid that it would fall into turmoil.

There was no waiting for him to answer. His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "I know what you are worried about, those worries are meaningless, even if something really happens to me, who dares to disobey the edict?"

Master Huang Yang said calmly: "The edict must be seen to be effective. ”

His Majesty the Emperor said: "If I die first, the master is here, and the academy is there." Who dares to do something rebellious? Han Qing is worried about my safety, and you are worried about the safety of the country, because you have not figured out a thing. ”

"If I want the Tang Dynasty to be destroyed, I must first destroy the master, then destroy the me, and then destroy the academy completely, so that it can be done, and in this world, where can anyone do it?"

Huang Yang shook his head slowly and said, "But the master is old after all. ”

"The Master Never Grows Old......

Emperor Majesty's words are obviously still in the second half, but I don't know what the reason, maybe I was touched, and after a moment of silence, I said slowly: "Actually, I am really old." ”

Huang Yang knew that His Majesty's health had not been good, and understood that what he said about old was actually illness, and his mood couldn't help but become a little depressed, and he immediately thought that life and death were ordinary things, so why be worried.

Knowing that Huang Yang had figured it out, His Majesty the Emperor laughed and reached out to touch his bald head.

This is something he was very accustomed to doing many years ago, but Master Huang Yang has not been touched so disrespectfully for many years, where can he get used to it, the appearance of a great monk suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he glared at the emperor with great annoyance.

The emperor's smile gradually faded, looked at him and said calmly: "The worries of life and death are futile, but the things behind me need to be arranged in advance, I have already thought about it, and the throne will be passed to Xiao Liu." ”

The annoyed expression on Huang Yang's face suddenly condensed, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he said in surprise: "Such a big matter, why is it so arbitrary, and why did Your Majesty let me know first?"

The Emperor said, "You weren't worried about the validity of the edict? ”

Huang Yang's voice was slightly astringent: "Where do I have such ability, this should be the matter of the academy. ”

The emperor shook his head and said: "The academy must not interfere in the affairs of the court, this is an iron law set by the master, there was originally a Ning Que, I originally intended him to carry out my edict, but now this kid is fighting against the whole world and even me for his wife, where can I still use him?"

Huang Yang remembered the rumor, frowned more and more, and glanced at the rear platform.

The emperor knew what he was thinking, and said calmly: "I heard that Professor Yu Curtain of the Academy accepted a female disciple the year before last. ”

Huang Yang said: "Yes, it is said to be the sister of the Demon Sect Walking Tang." ”

The emperor looked at him and said, "The academy doesn't care about this, I don't care, and the Tang Dynasty doesn't need to care, as for you and Qingshan's worries...... After returning to Chang'an, I will let Xiaoliu worship Mr. Da as a teacher. ”

Huang Yang clasped his hands together and praised sincerely: "Then there is no problem...... To be continued) rq
