Wind calendar, 1372, February, frost red.

Feng Wang Shang, with his two sons, stood on the square of the palace tower.

The royal city is gloomy, overlooking the tower, and the blood is flowing like a river. Only two forbidden troops lined up, and many black-clothed secret guards, were torturing corpses everywhere......

Shi Rende, the commander of the forbidden army, knelt at the foot of the steps of the stairs, still holding the body he brought back in his arms, but the face of the body quietly dissolved at this time, and slowly transformed into another face that was unfamiliar to everyone.

He looked at the condescending man on the balcony in a daze, his face, he was familiar with. It's just that it makes him feel palpitations...... The man's face had already been deeply embedded in his mind, but at this time, it was even stranger than the person in his arms.

He was stunned and turned his eyes to the long sword in his hand. That sword was indeed Qin Shang's sword, but the person in his arms was not Qin Shang himself.

Tears flowed down his eyes, and he bowed down to the man......

......

It's an internal cleansing.

In February of that year, in the second half of the year, there was a bloody storm in the city of the Wind King, and the rebellious forces led by the right prime minister Li Jing, the head of internal affairs Lin Gongchang, the general Zuo Chongzhi, Lin Xing and others collapsed overnight and were tragically destroyed.

In the same year, the Fengguo reduced its military strength by 30%, and most of the officials and generals in the armies and regions, and even most of the civil and military officials within the imperial court, were purged......

This major reshuffle and reshuffle within the Windy Nation came sooner and faster than anyone expected. After all, the former Wang Ye has just abdicated for less than five years, and regardless of the many hidden dangers and threats at home and abroad, the various intertwined and deep-rooted hidden dangers inside and outside the imperial court alone cannot be easily solved overnight.

At that time, Qin Shang, the king of the wind, was only twenty-six years old.

Qin Shang has two sons under his knees - the eldest son Qin Qi and the second son Qin Sheng. The two were born on the third day of the same year, and it was the blood seed that Qin Shang personally planted in the harem when he was twelve years old, and he took care of it until he ascended the throne, and then handed it over to the harem to take care of.

Now, these two princes are only eleven years old, but they have left a mark on this incident......

......

In March of the same year, the entire capital of the Windy Country was completely renewed, and everyone did not mention the coup d'état three days earlier, whether they knew it or not, they deliberately avoided it.

From the first day of the month, the entire Fusu regained its vitality, whether it was a compulsory order or a natural uprising, it all swept through this bloody storm.

On that day, when the red sun was rising and the city gates were wide open, those people and soldiers who had come from all the counties of the Wind Country to participate in the Immortal Summoning Conference also came one after another, rushing from outside the city gates.

Some of these people came alone—mostly on horseback, or on foot. There were also those who traveled in groups—mostly in horse-drawn carriages or with caravans. There were also escorts organized by local counties and ministries, but there was no trace of Zheng Ming.

When these many people began to enter the city and enter the capital, one person left from the southern city.

He carried a wrap on his back, a coarse linen coat and a coarse cloth turban, and covered himself tightly with a scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes.

He did not walk fast, and he never looked up, for he was the only one who went out of the city, so that the people who waited in the long queue to enter the city would pay special attention when they saw him.

The wind and sand stung people's eyes, and they also sent him away......

In the north of Fufeng, there is a flat-topped mountain. This place is the ancestral temple of the royal family of the Wind Country, that is, the Temple of Heaven.

At this time, the Wind King Qin Shang was standing in front of the edge of the difficult side of the Temple of Heaven with his hands, only separated from the Qianzhang Lin Yuan below.

Qin Shang looked in the direction of Nancheng from afar, and there was a slight hint of melancholy in his eyes, but it was extremely hidden.

"Sheng'er. After standing for a long time, Qin Shang suddenly called out softly.

Hearing this, Qin Sheng, who had been waiting behind him, hurriedly bowed his head and said lightly: "Father." ”

Qin Sheng's arms were holding Qin Shang's sword. The sword was long, almost as tall as he was, but it didn't seem hard for him to hold it.

"Are you ...... I think my father is too cold. Qin Shang only looked at Nancheng and didn't look at Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng was silent, then shook his head slightly, and replied truthfully: "Erchen doesn't know." ”

Hearing this, Qin Shang smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's a bit too much." ”

Qin Sheng smiled, also turned his eyes to look in the direction that Qin Shang was looking at, looked over there and said, "Father said yes, yes." ”

Hearing this, Qin Shang smiled, took out his left hand behind him, and gently rubbed Qin Sheng's head, but looked into the distance and said with a smile: "Your brother Wang will go in a few days, and it will be a problem to meet him in the future, so let's accompany him more." ”

"Sigh ......" Hearing this, Qin Sheng smiled and said: "Brother Wang is happy to be quiet, it's too boring." ”

After hearing this, Qin Shang laughed silently, shook his head deeply, and then turned around and left here, walking towards the square altar in the back.

Seeing this, Qin Sheng, who was also laughing silently, hurriedly followed with his sword and walked there with his father.

Looking ahead, there were many servants, kneeling on the ground and wiping the ground with cloth towels, but only two black-armored guards with spears and swords stood guard at the entrance of the ancestral temple.

The Temple of Heaven here is nearly half a mile in radius. The northernmost part of the Temple of Heaven is an ancestral temple built against a cliff, and in addition, it is all open land, and only a stairway can be built on the west side.

In the ancestral temple, the 21 kings of the Wind Kingdom since its founding are enshrined, as well as all the royal heirs who have passed away for thousands of years. And this huge Temple of Heaven outside the temple is actually a huge altar, or rather, a teleportation array to the fairy world.

In the center of the Temple of Heaven Square, there is an octagonal stone figure that is a hundred feet round - this is where the altar is located.

The altar has a pattern, as if it was carved completely on the platform, and in the center of it there is a three-foot square octagonal stone brick, and in the very center of this stone brick, there is a black and white Tai Chi pattern.

The stone diagram outside this central pattern is also divided into eight plates according to the shape of the stone diagram. And the pattern on each major plate is a daily map of the sea of clouds and dragons. As for the day when these eight divine dragons were chased, it was the Taiji diagram in the center of the altar.

Apart from this altar, the rest of the empty square is paved with simple stone slabs, without excessive ornamentation, and only a fence at the edge.

At this time, Qin Shang was walking there with Qin Sheng, and there were nearly a hundred servants who had brought their own buckets, scrubbing the altar with cloth towels, including the entire square ground.

At the same time, if you look at it from above from a more macro perspective, you can find:

Although there are only two guards on the Temple of Heaven, the entire Temple of Heaven Square is full of busy work. Looking at the winding mountain trail on the left, there is only one guard standing on the left and right every three zhang, and there are many black-clothed guards with flying eagles to receive and send information on the corners of the mountain road.

Time, it is not far from the Immortal Summoning Conference held once every ten years in the Wind Country.

......

Ten days later, Fufeng, outside the south city.

At this moment, there are still many people who came to participate in the Immortal Summoning Conference, although they are in twos and threes, but they may not be endless.

Not long after, Zheng Ming also came from a long distance, but when he saw the majesty of this majestic wind, he couldn't help but smile, and temporarily stopped in front of the dirt bag half a mile away.

"Fufeng ......" Zheng Ming looked at Fufeng City from afar, his eyes wandering and flickering faintly. The majesty of Fufeng City is the only one he has seen in his life.

The white stone city tower, the tall building, but the city tower can be said to be towering, but the many Qionglou jade in the city, but still poke their heads out, spectacular very.

Carved dragon and phoenix plate jade, Qionglou jade Yu compared.

Someone once described it as such. However, in Zheng Ming's eyes, there is still a lack of momentum and majesty that has not been added.

All of these were brought by him.

Gollum......

And at this moment, the sound of a carriage came from behind, causing Zheng Ming's eyes to move, and he turned his eyes to look at it.

It was just an ordinary car, driven out of the ramp by a plainly dressed old man.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were ajar, and a young man could be seen sitting in it, but the one who sat next to him was too tall to be seen.

The young man had a haughty face, his shoulders were folded, and he had a long sword in his right shoulder socket. He was opening his mouth to say something, but he tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes, and there was a hint of disdain and impatience in his expression.

The carriage was not moving fast, and the horses were only striding forward. When Zheng Ming observed the old man driving the carriage, the carriage came to his approach, and without pausing, it slowly drove in front of him.

As they passed each other, Zheng Ming looked into the window of the carriage and had a suspicion of the young man.

When Zheng Ming looked at him, he seemed to be aware of Zheng Ming's gaze, but after a glance, he closed his eyes again and pulled down the curtain. It seems that he doesn't want to look at it more.

Zheng Ming silently watched the carriage leave until it drove to the city gate, and after only a short pause, it was directly allowed to enter the city.

"Whew. Zheng Ming chuckled, then stopped and walked straight towards the city gate.

Before passing the inspection, Zheng Ming took out the letter recommendation of the master and the order of Yizhou City early. When the inspection was passed, the prosecutor only brought it for inspection, and then ordered his subordinates to take over the affairs of the inspection, and then personally led Zheng Ming to the post house not far from the royal city.

Along the way, Zheng Ming was overwhelmed by the situation in the city, and everywhere he passed was full of dazzling colors, and his heart was also excited and excited. On the way, the prosecutor observed Zheng Ming a few times without leaving a trace, but he didn't say anything.

The journey was long, and Xu traveled for nearly an hour.

The entrance and outer area of the post house are quite large, but at this time there are already cars, horses, and cars are in trouble. It seems that the people who came were not just a few hundred people as rumored on the surface.

After arriving at the post house, the prosecutor motioned for Zheng Ming to wait outside the door, and walked straight to the guard at the door of the post house. After a few brief words of exchange or instructions, the prosecutor turned his head and nodded to Zheng Ming, and then left here with the letter recommendation and the order.

Look in the direction he is going, it is the side of the royal city.

Zheng Ming watched the other party leave, and it was not until the other party's fast-moving figure disappeared into the flow of people in place that he turned his head to look at the guards at the entrance of the post house.

At this time, the two guards also smiled, bowed their heads slightly, and led the way sideways to invite Zheng Ming into the hall.

Seeing this, Zheng Ming smiled, bowed his head and thanked him, and stepped on the steps outside the door, and entered the post house under the leadership of the guard on the right.
