"If you want to say, why didn't we show up in the Heavenly Book Tomb...... That's because that level of battle is no longer something I can participate in, let alone you. Amami Seimu stood up from his chair, walked slowly to the door, and said after a moment of silence: "As for this war in Kyoto, since I have made up my mind, I will not make any changes. ”

"You made a decision so easily, how can we accept it so easily?"

Amami Katsuyuki's face was pale as if it were snow.

"I am the patriarch of the Tianhai family, and my decision represents the will of the Tianhai family. ”

"Don't forget, the reason why the Tianhai family is the Tianhai family is because her surname is Tianhai!"

"But don't forget the saying that has been circulating on the mainland for a long time, Tianhai is Tianhai, and Tianhai is Tianhai!"

Tianhai Chengwu looked at his son like an idiot, and shouted: "Why should I let the Tianhai family bury her together!"

Tianhai Shengxue smiled a little distractedly, and said, "Do you think that our Tianhai family can continue to exist when Niangniang is gone?"

"A truly wise man will never deny the existence of any possibility. ”

Tianhai Chengwu looked in the direction of the Heavenly Book Tomb under the night dome, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said in a hoarse voice: "His Majesty the Pope and the Dean of Shang made a promise to me with the oath of the stars, they have no room for repentance, and if the court wants to stabilize as soon as possible afterwards, it also needs our existence." ”

Tianhai Shengxue said bitterly: "Father, you shouldn't be such a naïve person, why are you so confused!"

"Naive, confused?" Tianhai Chengwu laughed out loud, a touch of pain and hatred flashed in his eyes, his voice became even hoarse, and he said sharply: "Until the last moment, do you think I will make such a decision?" Just before, Niang Niang saved Chen Changsheng, don't you still understand what it means!"

Tianhai Shengxue was slightly stunned, and then showed a look of struggle, wanting to distinguish two sentences, but he didn't know where to start.

"This shows that Niangniang has decided to pass on the throne to Chen Changsheng!"

"But...... Just now, news came from Tianshuling that Chen Changsheng was not Prince Zhaoming. ”

"Does it matter? No matter who is Prince Zhaoming, in short, Niangniang, she has never thought of passing on the throne to me. ”

Tianhai Chengwu's voice became even colder, and said, "In that case, why should I let the Tianhai family spill blood for her?"

Tianhai Shengxue still couldn't accept it, and said: "Even so, can you ascend to the throne afterwards? No! The only one who can ascend the throne is the Prince Zhaoming who doesn't know where he is! Dean Shang has been planning for so many years, it is impossible to allow other situations to happen, King Xiang can't do it, King Zhongshan can't do it, and you don't have hope, so what's the difference in the situation?"

"The difference is that if Niangniang wins, she will definitely weaken us as much as possible for her son in the next few years, or even kill us directly, while if Niangniang is defeated, her son wants to rule this kingdom under the gaze of the seventeen princes, and he has to need our Tianhai family as his arm. ”

Tianhai Chengwu's voice was extremely cold: "After all, we are his uncle's family, I am his cousin, and we are all family, aren't we?"

......

......

The rain in Kyoto has stopped, and the torrential rain is still falling in the distant fields, and from time to time lightning lights up in the night sky, shining the figures of the red eagles flying through the sky very clearly.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell, and a rain-like crossbow bolt rose from the ground, flying backwards against the torrential rain, shooting down a red eagle flying south.

Immediately after, thunder rang out from the rain clouds, booming, but the thunderous hoofing gradually stopped, replaced by the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and the sound of countless metal crashes.

A similar scene occurred in many places, in the midst of several armies preparing to return to Beijing to help, the Great Zhou army in the rain was in a commotion, and then quickly quieted down, and there was no sound again.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen stopped their progress and stopped in the torrential rain, and the silence was extremely strange, and no one knew what was going on.

At the forefront of the cavalry of the Great Zhou Songshan Military Mansion, which had returned from the Wusongling Military Fortress, there was a carriage quietly parked there.

The old lady of the Mu Tuo family, with the support of the worship, walked down from the carriage with difficulty, stood in the pouring rain, and looked at the black cavalry in front of him.

"Where is your general?"

The thousands of cavalry of the Songshan Military Mansion parted like a tide, and Tian Song, the seventh god of the Great Zhou Dynasty, rode a black dragon horse and drove out from the rear.

Seeing the old woman next to the car, Tian Songshen bowed his head slightly, let the rain wash his armor, and was silent for a long time.

Eventually, he rolled over from his horse, looked at the old woman, and said in a stiff tone, "The child is in full armor and cannot salute his mother." ”

"It's all like this, and I still care about all this red tape. ”

The old lady of the Mu Tuo family was not angry because of his attitude, and thought like an ordinary old woman: "Your daughter is about to give birth, why don't you hurry up and go home with me." ”

......

......

The Black Mountain Battalion is the best defensive unit of the Great Zhou military, famous for its formations, especially good at using magic weapons, stationed in Kyoto on weekdays, and is deeply trusted by the Holy Queen.

Some time ago, because the demon lord left the old city of snow and went deep into the cold mountain, the situation in the north of the mainland was extremely tense, and the Black Mountain battalion was requisitioned forward by the military department and fortified on the front line of Huayang County, but it was still not far from Kyoto.

Until they were forced to stay in the Red Pine Valley 30 miles north of Kyoto by heavy rain or for some other reason.

The torrential rain fell on the makeshift tents with a roaring sound that was not like a war drum but more like a skin bag full of wine falling on the ground.

The smell of liquor everywhere in the tent did not mean that there were still people in the mood to feast at such a tense moment, but because some of the soldiers were not lightly injured and were being treated.

The commander of the Black Mountain battalion is Wu Shuang Divine General, this divine general is from an extraordinary background, with a good demeanor, his majesty is strict but not severe, the rewards and punishments are clear, the rewards and punishments are measured, and he is deeply loved and respected by the sergeants under his command.

But tonight the situation is different, and those pro-soldiers have no way to fight each other.

Wu Shuangshen's face was as white as paper, obviously not lightly injured, his face was like frost, and he was extremely cold.

His gaze swept over the big worshippers in the tent who had seen them since childhood, and finally fell on his father, and his emotions became agitated, and he wanted to stand up, but he was restrained by the magic weapon and could not move.

He roared angrily: "Niangniang has always been very kind to me, father, if you do this, won't you trap me in injustice!"

The head of the Wu family looked at his son and said, "Niangniang does trust you, but how can she trust your family too much?"

Wu Shuang's expression remained unchanged, and she said in a deep voice: "Niangniang treats me well, I can't fail her." ”

The expression of the head of the Wu family remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "So my father will not let you do things that are negative to your heart, and now you are powerless." ”

Wu Shuang thought about the picture of his father sneaking up on him with a few worshippers and restraining himself, and his face became even more ugly.

The head of the Wu family said calmly: "If you want to open some...... Niangniang had previously saved Chen Changsheng in Tianshu Mausoleum, which directly led to the betrayal of the Tianhai family...... Couldn't she have thought of this? But why did she insist on doing this, because she was Chen Changsheng's own mother, then, would I harm you?"

......

......

After a fierce battle, the army returned from the Hanzhou Military Government temporarily stopped at Chenggong Ridge outside the rain clouds.

The sixth god of the Great Zhou Dynasty held the heavenly mallet, holding the iron sword in both hands, standing on the battlefield full of corpses.

More than a dozen strands of blood spilled out of the cracks in his armor, and his eyes were extremely round and full of anger.

He looked at the subordinates who had been side by side on the battlefield and those who had been close to him, and at those former classmates, and shouted: "Even if you can kill me, how can you convince the people! The Seventh Route Army returns to Beijing, even if you kill all our generals, how can you make the officers and soldiers below obey the order!"

The dozens of people who gathered around suddenly separated, and Chen Guansong, the dean of the Star Picking Academy, walked slowly down the hillside.

"Teacher...... When did you leave Kyoto?"

The Heavenly Hammer God General looked at Chen Guansong, his expression changed drastically, and said, "Even you...... Have you rebelled too?"

Chen Guansong looked at him and said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is not surnamed Tianhai, the surname is Chen, and it is unacceptable to be a teacher. ”

This big man in the Great Zhou military who is extremely old, but extremely low-key, so low-key that everyone is about to forget, looked at the appearance of this proud disciple who he admired the most two hundred years ago and is now at the end of his life, with an unbearable look on his face, and said: "You have resisted the demon race in the north and made great contributions for the human race, and the Great Zhou has been able to barely maintain a balance of power over the years, it all depends on you, as long as you are willing to surrender, whether it is His Majesty the Pope, the dean of Shang or the princes, you will be very happy, and all the military governments in the north are at your disposal." ”

The expression of the Heavenly Hammer Divine General was slightly confused, and after a while, all of them dissipated, and a touch of anger flashed between his eyebrows, and he asked, "Why is it?"

He didn't answer the advice of his beloved teacher, he just wanted to know why.

After Chen Guansong left the front line that year, he returned to Kyoto to take charge of the Star Picking Academy, and trained countless outstanding generals for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which must have won the trust of the Holy Empress Niangniang, and his understanding of his teacher, Chen Guansong could not have endured for more than 200 years for tonight's events, so what made him stand on the opposite side of the Holy Empress Niangniang?

"As I said before, it is all up to you that Da Zhou has been able to maintain the balance of power with the demons in the north over the years...... Xue Xingchuan has never been out of Kyoto, Xu Shiji's generation is incompetent, the most important thing is, what is the Holy Queen Niangniang thinking? Yes, I am still disappointed in Niangniang in the end, this is the reason. ”

Chen Guansong looked at the heavenly mallet and said, "I hope this reason can convince you." ”

The Celestial Mallet God was silent for a long time, and then laughed, showing a mouth full of white teeth, and laughing miserably, and full of mockery.

"What do you people know?"

The rain clouds in the night sky finally drifted to Chenggong Ridge.

The torrential rain fell suddenly, but it couldn't wash away the blood from the armor of the Heavenly Hammer God General.

He looked at Chen Guansong, looked at those former classmates and comrades, his face was full of contempt, and said, "Come on." ”
