Chapter Twenty-Four: Once Upon a Time in the West
Yao Tianzhun finally tasted the bitter fruit of willfulness!
Helplessly, in the scolding of the courtiers and officials, he had to issue an edict to offend himself, and at the same time sent Honglu Temple Zhengqing as a messenger to Dazhou to seek peace!
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time was Li Shunchen, the Qianzhi Emperor of the temple name Renzong! After receiving the peace envoy from the Western Qin, Li Shunchen immediately issued an edict and ordered the advisors to collect troops from the heavens!
After all, first, there is the constraint of the "Kip Pass Alliance", and Li Shunchen does not want to arouse the hostility of the entire continent at this time!
What's more, Advisor Heaven's power in the Western Realm has already been lost!
If he was allowed to conquer cities and territories within the territory of Great Qin, then Advisor Tian's personal strength would be unprecedentedly developed, thus reaching a point where he could override the imperial decrees!
Thinking of the status of the Tongcheng Gu family in this Chengtian Continent again...... As the ruler of a country, this is the last thing he wants to see!
But who knew that the advisor Tian, who was immersed in harvesting the land of Western Qin, actually deduced that "the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected", and temporarily shelved the holy decree passed down by Li Shunchen!
And the reason why Advisor Tian withdrew his troops in front of Huqiu Pass was not because of Li Shunchen's holy decree!
But even so, the harvest of Advisor Heaven after this war is extremely rich!
Great Qin finally ceded the Lianhui Province, which had already been conquered by Advisor Tian, which was adjacent to the western border of Great Zhou, to Great Zhou—that is, ceded to Advisor Heaven!
Uniting this Lianhui Province, plus the three western provinces enclosed by the imperial court, Advisor Tian alone owns the land of the four provinces!
And the name "Western Realm of the Great Zhou" has therefore jumped from a territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to one of the super forces of the "Seven Heroes of Chengtian"!
On the contrary, it was the Western Qin Dynasty that took the initiative to provoke a war, but in the end it ceded land and paid compensation! The loss of a province was really a pain for the Western Qin Empire!
This incident is one of the main reasons why Western Qin is like the other four countries!
However, more importantly, because of this failed military operation, a larger question about the internal affairs of Western Qin completely erupted - the father and son of the monarch and the minister. Utter discord!
Yao Kuang, the crown prince of Western Qin, united a large number of courtiers who opposed Yao Tianzhun and forced his father, the emperor, to give him the throne!
Although this palace forcing incident was temporarily suppressed by Yao Zhuntian, this force that opposed him was completely grounded! Under the leadership of the crown prince Yao Kuang, he fought against Yao Tianzhun above the court!
In the past 20 years, this struggle between father and son has not ended! As a result, the entire Great Qin Kingdom has failed to enforce its decrees, its legal affairs are incomprehensible, the country is in turmoil, and hunger is everywhere!
It is precisely because of these two major factors, one internal and one external, that the originally majestic and prosperous Western Qin Empire gradually showed fatigue among the top forces in the Chengtian Continent......
...... The handsome young man was walking on the most prosperous street in Daliang City, with a pair of phantom eyes like stars, constantly scanning the whistling cars and pedestrians in the past, and secretly thinking to himself!
At this moment, behind the young man, a young man dressed in a light red power suit suddenly appeared! The appearance of this young man in red was so ordinary that he suddenly appeared behind the young man, and the pedestrians on the street couldn't even notice anything unusual!
However, the boy was taken aback by the man who suddenly appeared!
"You're fucking crazy?..... this is the Great Liang of Western Qin!"
The boy roared in a low voice!
However, the young man in red didn't care about his attitude at all, and he followed behind him with his own thoughts, and at the same time whispered in his ear: "Childe said: 'Go and ask Yu Yiqiu, why is there still no movement in the west for so long?' Do I have to give him another three years'...... Childe, let me tell you what I said!"
After speaking, the young man in red didn't pay attention to the young man's frightened expression, and once again hid in the crowd!
The young man named Yu Yiqiu stood on the street in a daze, and all that echoed in his mind was the deafening "angry shout" that he had just heard from the young man in red......
......
"I'm going to the...... These guys are beasts...... How nice it would be to come here for a contest and rob a house outside......?
After Gu Cangsheng eliminated the last opponent who rushed out to cut him, he seemed to collapse and sat down on the grass! Leaning his back on Nan Letian's body, he cursed in a low voice!
Nan Le Tian on the side also gasped for breath! While simply bandaging the wound on his arm with his clothes, he responded: "Who says it's not...... Damn .......!"
...... Gu Cangsheng and Nan Letian still couldn't escape that table of bills in the end!
The two of them reluctantly brushed the dishes in the restaurant for three days! Gu Cangsheng, who did these basic labor for the first time in his life, was almost about to collapse by these round guys!
On the other hand, that hairy man Nan Letian couldn't help but eat a lot, and he was also very handy when he brushed up the plates! Not only did he exceed his tasks, but he also often helped Gu Cangsheng, a backward element, solve his "problems"!
Fortunately, three days passed quickly! On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the well-informed shopkeeper who had frantically supported the two of them for three days saw the day, so he mercilessly threw Gu Cangsheng and the others directly onto the street and swept them out!
Putting themselves in the shoes of participating in this month's Shen Da Competition, Gu Cangsheng and Nan Letian really realized how crazy Gao Gaozi was in the Demon Gate last month as the selector!
The two had just left the restaurant, and before they had even walked out of two miles, four or five people who came out of nowhere suddenly rushed in front of the two of them and attacked them directly! It seems that they have already formed a team that wants to surround and kill the two of them!
There was no way, Gu Cangsheng and Nan Letian could only respond to the enemy in a hurry, but fortunately, the strongest person who came to attack was only a cultivator in the middle of the day after tomorrow!
Who knows, just after the two of them suppressed the incoming enemy in reverse, another group of teams suddenly joined the battle circle and began to encircle Gu Cangsheng and Nan Letian...... This made Gu Cangsheng and the others feel the oppression of death!
Although both of them are at the peak of the Acquired Perfection realm, they are stronger than the enemies who come to attack, but they are also limited in strength! After all, the two of them have not yet broken through the Heavenly Spirit Officer and stepped into the realm of real innate masters!
Seeing that more and more people were participating in the siege of them, Gu Cangsheng and Nan Letian had no choice but to fight and retreat in embarrassment!
I don't know how long I fled, and I don't know how far I fled! Gu Cangsheng and Nan Letian finally got rid of the large army that surrounded and suppressed the two of them, and slaughtered a few more who ran fast and left alone, which gradually calmed down this trouble!
Gu Cangsheng leaned on Nan Letian for a long time before he could barely stand up! From the side of the cultivator who had just been killed by him, he picked up a bloodless steel sword! Then he turned his head and looked at Nan Letian and said, "I never used a sword before...... I think I'll have to bring one with me now!"
"I've got to find a ...... But if I want to grab a good knife, it's much more comfortable to cut people with a knife than with a sword!"
Nan Letian raised his head with a smile and responded to Gu Cangsheng.
"Well, it's more suitable for you to use a knife!" Gu Cangsheng nodded, and hung the steel sword on his waist again, then sighed, "This is the beginning...... I don't know when it's going to be a head!"
Nan Letian stretched out a hand, Gu Cangsheng reached out knowingly, and pulled Nan Letian up from the ground!
"Stay up, after all...... Ay...... You can help me scratch and pull the grass blades and grass poles behind me!"
Seeing Nan Letian calmly exposing his back to Gu Cangsheng, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly!
"You're not afraid that I'll suddenly attack you?"
Gu Cangsheng stood behind him while helping Nan Letian pat the grass clippings on his body, and said with a smile.
"Then you're not afraid that I will suddenly attack you?"
Nan Letian didn't answer Gu Cangsheng's question, but asked in a muffled voice!
“...... You won't!"
Gu Cangsheng's hand moved slightly, and then said with a chuckle!
Nan Letian listened to Gu Cangsheng's answer, turned his head, bared his white and bright teeth, and said with a smile: "In this case, what else do I have to fear?"
Looking at Nan Letian's bright smiling face, Gu Cangsheng nodded and didn't speak again!
"Alright...... Eh—what's going on over there?"
Gu Cangsheng, who had just helped Nan Letian clean his back, inadvertently turned his head and found that not far from the two of them, there was also a siege and killing incident!
It's just that the targets of the siege are no longer five big and three thick men like the two of them, but two delicate girls who look soft and beautiful!
"Leave him alone!"
Nan Letian was busy sorting out his clothes, and said without raising his head.
Gu Cangsheng stared over there for a long time, and after making sure that one of the two girls was indeed the one he knew, he couldn't help but poke Nan Letian, who was still rubbing the folds of his clothes!
I said...... Let's take care of it...... I know that girl, you ...... You should know too!"
"Who?"
Nan Letian raised his head curiously and looked at the other side.
"I can't see clearly, who the hell is it?"
Nan Letian turned his head suspiciously, but Gu Cangsheng smashed his mouth helplessly, and then said in a complicated tone:
"She is the only granddaughter of His Majesty the Emperor of Southern Chu, the only daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince of Southern Chu, the only pearl in the palm of the Southern Chu royal family, and the princess of Chu Yingzhen, who was personally decreed by the ancestor of Southern Chu...... Are you sure you're going to die?"
After speaking, Gu Cangsheng turned his head and looked at Nan Letian's demented expression like being struck by lightning, and couldn't help but smile!
