Chapter 18: Wind Demon
Prince Mingxi was helpless, so he had to continue: "I built the Wind Demon, except for the few members in the house, some of them didn't come this time, if you have the chance, I will let them come and meet you." β
"Forget if you don't come, these ...... in the house" Xiao Qianye pointed at Xiao Yibai, then at Gongsun Yan, and finally looked at Jiang Zhuzhou and asked, "These people are all wind demons?"
"Yes. The prince nodded, seeing the hidden shock on his face, he smiled casually, "Young Pavilion Master don't be surprised, you will also be my person in the future." β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still doesn't say it so surely. He was a little unhappy, Mingxi didn't care at all, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think the Wind Demon sent a letter to Kunlun Mountain to deceive your two classmates, and what did you call Xiao Yibai for?"
"You ......"
"You don't think I'm going to have a showdown with you without any hole cards, do you?"
"Mingxi. Xiao Yibai hurriedly stopped him, and the prince endured his breath and took a sip of tea silently.
Gongsun Yan also hurriedly jumped out to play a round game, and then Prince Mingxi's words explained: "Qianye, the original intention of the establishment of the wind demon was to investigate a case, eighteen years ago, Empress Wenyi died suddenly, Emperor Tianquan dismissed the dynasty for a whole year, and the whole city of Tianyu was forbidden to play, you may not know very well, because you happened to go to Kunlun Mountain that year, that year's Tianyu City was really terrible, who dared to let out a little laughter, he would be directly deprived of his identity and driven out, everyone privately felt that His Majesty was sick and crazy......"
Gongsun Yan glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carefully, and said, "Empress Wenyi committed suicide. β
"Suicide?"
"Empress Wenyi committed suicide in the prince's palace, but Emperor Tianquan did not announce the truth to the public, but simply used the sentence 'The queen collapsed, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum ten times the national ceremony, and was named Fengyi. β
His Royal Highness the Prince's expression was mixed with a little trance, such a cold memory made the prince's face gloomy for a moment, he rubbed his forehead, and finally said the events of that day: "That day, my mother came to see me, she hadn't come to see me alone for a long time, she stayed in the house for a long time, that day was May, and the phoenix trees in the courtyard were extremely gorgeous, and she sat there for a long, long time, until the sun set, and her maid came to her, saying that her father wanted to see her." β
She just smiled softly and touched my head, and when I was eight years old, she picked me up and took me to play in the courtyard, ignoring the maid. β
"It was getting darker and darker, and my father came to her in person, and the queen mother told me to stay in the room and not come out. β
"They seem to be arguing...... Then this is the first time I've seen them arguing. β
Xiao Qianye listened quietly, the feelings of the emperor and queen are well-known news on the flying wall, and Empress Wenyi is the god of the Weeping Snow Plateau, and she is also the first alien woman who moved the heart of the human emperor.
The rumored emperor and queen have a harmonious relationship and affection, just like a fairy couple.
It was on that night that she suddenly took out a dagger, and she didn't even give her father time to react, just like that...... Stabbed himself in the chest. β
Prince Mingxi suddenly gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly, what did they quarrel about that night? The queen mother had a dagger, she had already decided to commit suicide, she had come to see her, she had come to say her final goodbye to herself.
After a long time, he barely stabilized his emotions and no longer trembled: "My original purpose in establishing the Wind Demon was to find out the truth about the queen mother's suicide, Xiao Qianye, do you know what I have found out over the years?"
He looked at Xiao Qianye with deep meaning, the corners of his mouth rose, and even showed a chilling smile, and continued: " When his father was only the fourth prince, he was in distress on the Weeping Snow Plateau, and unexpectedly received the help of the Divine Guardian Thermometer, he was shocked by the gentle beauty at that glance, and refused to return to the imperial city to heal, just to be able to spend a little more time with her, he spent a short half a year in the territory of Jialuo, and it was also at that time that he first really came into contact with the so-called aliens, which were just the same existence as humans, and there was not much difference in nature. β
"However, after all, he is still the fourth prince, under the urging of the imperial capital one after another, he also had to leave, after returning to the heavenly realm, the fourth prince, who has always been known for his calmness, made a decision that made everyone jaw-dropping, he proposed to the current Emperor Minghui, and wanted to marry the god of the Weeping Snow Plateau!"
"The royal family has always hated foreign races, and Shenshou is no exception, Emperor Minghui rejected his request three times, but he still did not give up, as the best prince, he was originally the most powerful contender for the throne, he put pressure on the emperor, and was willing to give up the identity of the imperial family!"
In a fit of rage, Emperor Minghui wanted to demote him to a commoner and expel him from the Heavenly Domain, but when he saw the ecstasy in his son's eyes, he finally relented and chose to retreat, and their father and son made an unknown agreement - if he married Wen Yi, he would give up the throne forever. β
"One stone set off a thousand waves, the news that Shen Shou Wenyi was going to marry a human race, also set off a shocking wave among the aliens, when he thought that the queen mother might reject herself for the sake of the aliens, she actually agreed, she married to the imperial capital alone, without giving any explanation to the angry aliens. β
He has given up the throne, but after marrying into the royal family, the queen mother is still ostracized in various ways, although it is difficult to move forward, she is still that beautiful and gentle woman, who can make him willing to let go of all his dissatisfaction, suppress all his anger, and just want to live a simple life, he knows in his heart that the queen mother wants to ease the tension between humans and aliens, and has been doing his best to help her. β
Prince Mingxi sighed leisurely, and there was a rare tenderness in his eyes, which turned into disappointment and disgust little by little.
The father of the year also tried hard to change, but why was it just a dream in the end...... Whether it is a human race or a foreign race, do you always have to push yourself into a desperate situation to be satisfied?
"What happened later?" Xiao Qianye couldn't help but ask, and the prince continued, "After all, he is a pampered fourth prince, after his wife has been insulted and slandered again and again, he finally couldn't suppress his anger and injured his eldest brother, Prince Minglu, for a while, rumors of the fourth prince's attempt to usurp the throne were everywhere, there was no wind and no waves, and the royal family, which had long been unaccustomed to seeing the queen mother, rushed up, and asked him to divorce his wife again and let the queen mother get out of the sky!"
β......β
Prince Mingxi glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "The queen mother was yelled at by aliens to get out of Jialuo, and she was yelled at by humans to get out of the imperial capital, all of which didn't make her retreat, but it was the father who was the first to go wild...... He has almost lost his mind, can this continent not tolerate his wife? Then he can only become the master of this continent, and his words will become a holy decree, and no one dares to disobey him!"
Xiao Qianye gasped, the next thing was the coup d'Γ©tat that shocked Feiyuan, the fourth son of the royal family, Ming Ze, killed his father and brother, usurped the throne and seized power, without any premeditation, his instantaneous decision completely changed the future of this continent.
He became the new emperor of Feiyuan, and after establishing Wenyi, no one could stop him, including his wife, he began to become moody, and when the fourth prince who had high hopes really became the king, he was a tyrant who surprised everyone!
All the opposition seemed to disappear silently under his violent suppression, but there was another undercurrent under the calm, and it was a long, long time before they had their first and only child, as the emperor, even if many things were involuntary, he still insisted on giving this child an important identity - the crown prince.
"I have always felt that my father really loves my mother. Prince Mingxi slowly expressed the doubts in his heart, "He has never treated me badly, and until now I feel that my father really loved me at that time." β
"At that time?" Hearing his words, Xiao Qianye asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this?"
"How can the road to the emperor be so easy, let alone in a place like Feiyuan, how easy is it to favor a woman of different races?" he waved his hand and sighed, "In order to ease the atmosphere of the court, he married several concubines one after another, and he ordered me to be forbidden to learn martial arts and the art of war, and only let me learn poetry, books and rituals, but so what? He finally handed over the ink pavilion to me, hehe...... I took over at the age of ten, and I knew that he was not for me, but for the woman he loved, and even if she was dead, he wanted the best of everything for her only son. β
It is also a well-known thing that Emperor Tianquan values the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the prince actually has four younger brothers and three younger sisters, all of whom have not been reused without exception, and none of the concubines in the harem have enjoyed the exclusive favor of Queen Wenyi back then.
Later, he changed. His Royal Highness the Prince's tone suddenly became stern from this sentence, "After the queen mother committed suicide, he completely changed, he began to arrest aliens everywhere, and then imprisoned them in the water prison of the king, and began to exterminate the religions and factions in Feiyuan, and robbed all their martial arts and classics, he went crazy." β
"As I grew up, the power in my hands became bigger and bigger, and my father's actions had already caused dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition, so I bought people's hearts in secret, established the Wind Demon, and began to investigate the truth of their quarrel back then, Xiao Qianye, have you ever heard of 'Broken'?"
"Nature...... Heard. He hardly dared to say a word more, this word was the taboo of Feiyuan, a terrifying disaster that made everyone smell and change color!
Fragmentation refers to the end of the life of the island, which begins to split from the inside and burns into the sky.
"He's looking for the root of the shattering. β
β......β
"Do you think he's crazy too?" Prince Mingxi asked, and couldn't help but laugh miserably, "I thought so at first, but the more I investigated, the more wrong it became, and Zhen Island fell into the sky...... It's not because it's broken, it's not because of the experiments that my father did with other races, it's not for eternal life. β
"What did you find?" Xiao Qianye couldn't help but lower his tone, knowing that he had already touched on a topic that shouldn't have been touched.
"I sent people to visit the four major capitals, the three major cities, the seven forbidden lands, the four seas, everywhere to investigate the foundation of the flying wall, we went deep into the ground thousands of meters deep, but found that the foundation is not naturally broken, it is more like being destroyed by a huge force, to this day, the land under our feet is broken, but it is not cracked, it still maintains a whole complete continental form, floating peacefully on the sea. β
Prince Mingxi poured a little water from the teacup on the table, smeared it with his fingertips, and then pushed the water together to gather together, and he explained seriously: "Why didn't Feiyuan break apart? Because there is another more powerful force that pulls the broken land together......
"Most of my father is also looking for this force, and our people have encountered members of the Forbidden Army's dark division near the ground rift many times. β
"People from the Shadow Division?" Xiao Qianye was slightly stunned, the Forbidden Army has five brigades, which are distributed all over the same place as the Military Pavilion, except for the first brigade in Tianyu City, the remaining four teams are mostly assisting the Military Pavilion in the wasteland on the periphery of the four capitals, only this Shadow Department is extremely mysterious, and has always been subordinate to Emperor Tianquan, I don't know what they are doing.
"Once it's an accident, every time you bump into it, there must be a problem. β
Xiao Qianye frowned and thought, in the legend, when Feiyuan fell into the sky, it was Feng Ji who exhausted her spiritual phoenix breath to lift the entire flow island, which allowed it to fall safely on the sea.
"It's not the Breath of the Phoenix. Prince Mingxi guessed what he was thinking at a glance, and directly denied his guess, "The Pure Spirit Phoenix Breath is a kind of cold flame, although it is cold, it is indeed fire, but the source of this power is unknown, as long as you get a little closer, you will be severely frostbitten, and some people will even die because of it." β
"What are you investigating all this for, and what does it have to do with the Queen's death?"
That's why they had a quarrel. "Prince Mingxi brought the topic back to the beginning," the Star Sacrifice Palace made a calculation, this force is extremely powerful, if it can be used, it may be able to lift Tianyu City...... Back to the sky!"
