Chapter 437: You're also an Extraterrestrial Demon?

The sweep after the breach of the city was lackluster.

Bai Xiao and Lan Lan took the lead, and the two of them were like thousands of troops, running rampant in the Flame King's Court, invincible in the wayβ€”in fact, there was no resistance at all.

Most of those who have the heart to be loyal to the country have already accompanied the imperial prime minister into a dead soul in the general battle that decided the national fortune before, and now the rest are mostly two-faced and three-sworded, and it is more than enough to make a fortune in the national disaster at the time of the national crisis, and it is reluctant to shout a few righteous and awe-inspiring slogans, and it is not necessary to talk about it for the national death festival.

Bai Xiao almost walked straight to the royal court and saw the middle-aged man sitting on the throne.

With just one glance, Bai Xiao wanted to turn around and leave.

"It's fake, isn't it?"

Lan Lan was also amazed when he looked at it next to him: "Who is this uncle with a declining face? The stand-in is not so unprofessional...... Even if he was raised as a marionette by the first king, he was still the king on the bright side, and I looked worse than that Zheng Liming. ”

As he spoke, Lan Lan looked around at the empty palace hall and was even more surprised.

"Where are the dead guards who should have stood their last shifts? Under normal circumstances, there should be so many thirty or fifty stubborn and faithful horses who resist to the end?"

The girl's voice reverberated back and forth in the empty hall, showing even more that the end of the last king was as lonely as snow.

Behind the two, Lu Xun and the others cautiously followed, and when they saw the emptiness in the palace, they were frightened and said, "It can't be a trap, right?"

Lan Lan said with a smile: "It's all dying, do you think he still has the strength to design a trap? At most, he will bury hundreds of tons of flame stones under the palace, and when we come in, the jade will be burned with a bang." ”

The people who had just stepped into the hall staged a hasty discoloration technique in an instant, and almost escaped from the main hall. A few of the bolder ones laughed and said, "Since it's so dangerous, why don't you run away?"

Lan Lan said, "Where can it be safer to flee than to stay by Xiaobai's side?"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the people around him who looked at Bai Xiao were suddenly full of longing, and they couldn't wait to immediately hug their thighs and rub them desperately.

Bai Xiao's attention has been on the Flame King.

In the empty palace hall, a depressed middle-aged man with gray hair was on a gorgeous and cold throne, coldly staring at the uninvited guests of the palace.

For these traitors who directly trampled the royal family's face on the ground and rubbed it, the Flame King neither angrily nor begged for mercy, as if he was a real puppet, and he didn't even have the feelings of being born when no one was carrying the string.

Bai Xiao quickly made a judgment that this was not the real Flame King - this was a matter of course, the real Flame King had long been hiding behind the scenes, only to be replaced as the new king after the fall of the Flame Dynasty.

But this Flame King seems to have deliberately written the word "fake" on the door of his head, and used it to tease the puppets of the rebels. He didn't even say a decent last word, just sat on the throne and waited for death.

In that case, give him a ride.

Bai Xiao stepped forward, from the entrance of the palace to the high throne, the distance of hundreds of meters seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the next moment Bai Xiao's bone spear had penetrated the heart of the Flame King.

And with the vital point pierced, the gray-haired middle-aged man fell from the throne without saying a word, and his body turned to ashes when it hit the ground.

"Wow, Xiaobai, your hands are too fast!? How many more rituals are I going to prepare here, you are a tyrannical thing!"

Bai Xiao was stunned: "What kind of ceremony is arranged?"

"This is the Flame King!" Lan Lan was bitter at Bai Xiao's sluggishness, "Whether it's true or not, he is indeed sticking to the royal city and sitting on the throne, right? ”

"But ......"

"Even if we all know it's fake, it's an important ritual node! It symbolizes the end of the Flame Dynasty and the great victory of the uprising, and I, as the first rebel leader to storm the royal city and capture the Flame King, will naturally become the god of the new world. ”

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I see, then what should I do now? Collect the ashes and use them as exhibits to prove meritorious service?"

"No, the ashes tour is still a bit ......," Lan Lan said stupidly, "Anyway, the royal city was broken by us, and the Flame King was also killed by us, this matter is obvious to everyone in the world, and it cannot be denied. ”

Bai Xiao deeply admires the "we" in Lan Lan's mouth, obviously just following herself all the way to watch the play, and all the work is done by herself, thanks to her being able to put on a posture of contributing a lot!

However, Bai Xiao has no interest in the so-called leader of the rebel army, the position of the new king, he has been very light on the word power since he was a child, and he was obviously regarded as the future leader by everyone when he was in the tribe, but he never had the slightest sense of reality, and he was not interested in tribal affairs...... What's more, what is the point of being in a dream even if you are the king and hegemon in a dream?

"And when are we going to convene a meeting to establish a new kingdom?"

Lan Lan said: "Soon, the well-informed leaders of the rebel army from all over the country should have left for the royal city a long time ago, or they should have been assembled in less than three days - on the other hand, if they can't reach the royal city in three days, they are not qualified to participate in our spoils sharing conference." ”

Bai Xiao nodded, noncommittal. This kind of political conspiracy is just Lan Lan's idea.

In the tribe, the person in charge of strategy has always been the chief witch, and the tribal leader is only responsible for making decisions and going out to fight.

Looking at the corpse of the Flame King turned into ashes on the ground, as well as the empty palace around him, Bai Xiao only hoped that this farce would end as soon as possible.

β€”β€”

The spoils sharing meeting mentioned by Lan Lan was held in the palace three days after the destruction of the royal city.

There were more than 200 leaders of the rebel army from all walks of life participating in the meeting, and God really knows where these people who were so strict with the Flame Dynasty that they didn't share the sky came from, but Lan Lan didn't seem to have any intention of stopping them from coming over to join in the fun, so soon the royal city became a miasma.

This city brings together the thousand-year-old essence of the entire Eastern Continent, the so-called "Dingdang jade, gold nuggets and beads" is not an exaggeration, especially the city fell in just half an hour, almost no war has been experienced, all kinds of places of interest and historic sites are well preserved, and what is even more rare is that because the rebel army raided too fast, many wealthy families did not have time to transfer their assets, and hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation were all blocked in the city by the rebels.

Once the rebels entered the city, the catastrophe naturally came.

If it weren't for Bai Xiao's blindness and killing hundreds of rebels with his own hands, I am afraid that the city would be burned before the spoils were held.

However, Bai Xiao was quick for a while, and when he arrived at the spoils distribution conference, it was equivalent to giving people a handle.

On this day, in the main hall of the royal palace, more than 200 leaders of the volunteer army sat in the hastily built venue, each with their own excitement.

Of course, there are also quite a few people who are indignant.

"I'm sorry, I'm a countryman, I don't know any etiquette rules, since I'm here, I have something to say. I just want to ask, what happened to some of my good brothers who were hanged in front of the city gates yesterday!?"

The person who asked the question had a fierce look on his face, Bai Xiao only felt vaguely familiar, it seemed to be a little similar to a certain Brilliant Valley executor he had seen when he traveled to the border county before, but between his eyebrows it seemed even more arrogant and unreasonable, so that when he said something, the venue was quiet for a while, and everyone looked at him with complicated eyes, as if they were looking at a dead person.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Lan Lan sneer: "You still have the face to ask what's going on? Your good brothers entered the city and openly looted and disrupted the order, so we killed them as an example." ”

The man was furious and slapped the table, "Just for this!?"

Lan Lan said: "Just for this matter, what's the problem?"

"This Flame King City has gathered ill-gotten wealth from all over the world, and my brothers have not embarrassed the poor families in the city, but they have just robbed a few rich businessmen, this matter is justified!"

There were also people next to him who advised: "It is indeed inappropriate to openly loot after entering the city, but we don't have three chapters of the covenant, and second, they didn't hurt any lives when they looted, so they were killed on the spot......"

Lan Lan didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, and slammed the table: "There is so much nonsense, this city was fought down by you?

This is very heart-wrenching, so that the atmosphere in the venue is stagnant.

The victory of this uprising and war was almost ridiculous, and the heroes of the world's generous and tragic songs had just risen up when they heard the news of the fall of the royal city and the ambush of the flame king, and the dark clouds that hung over the heads of the people of the world were swept away by a mere person. The leaders of the rebel army from all walks of life wore stars and moons, and rushed all the way to the royal city, that is, they came to participate in the distribution of spoils...... At this time, it is indeed a little unreasonable to be said.

After a while, someone sighed and said: "The victory of this battle is indeed thanks to you's 'White Army', Lord Bai Xiao is like a divine soldier descending from the sky, single-handedly sweeping away the generals under the tyrant, and the battle is impressive, and none of us are dissatisfied." But now that the war has basically calmed down, the remnants of the tyrant are no longer a climate, and the main theme of the world is no longer the word war. ”

Lan Lan asked, "So what do you want to say, the previous combat exploits don't count?"

The man said: "Of course it doesn't count, I just want to ask the two white-clothed soldiers, how do you plan to make the constitution in the future? The tyrant's army was destroyed by you, the royal city was breached by you, and even the Flame King died at your hands. But at least we should know what this charter looks like, and we can follow it in the future. ”

Bai Xiao couldn't help frowning when he heard this person speak, because he felt that there was a needle hidden in the cotton no matter how he listened.

But he heard Lan Lan sneer: "The words of retreating as advance are very skillful, and he is worthy of being a Confucian general with a lotus tongue." I heard that when you started the incident, you lost a series of battles, and your hometown father and elder died in ten rooms and nine empty rooms, but after a few speeches, you pulled out a group of hot-blooded sons and daughters who regarded death as if they were home.

The person who was questioned by Lan Lan looked helpless: "I have no such intention, I just sincerely ask for advice." After all, the Flame Dynasty has perished, and those of us who are alive must continue to live. And to live is to talk about rules, I just want to understand the rules of the new country. ”

Hearing this, Bai Xiao had also recovered from the state of fugue and looked at this person with interest.

The man was over half a hundred years old, his hair was gray, but he was meticulously organized, and his pale blue cloth robe was simple but elegant, and among the many leaders of the rebel army who attended the meeting, it was like a clear stream.

But Bai Xiao had no impression of this person.

Of course, it is not surprising that most of the hundreds of leaders of the rebel army who participated in the meeting were unfamiliar faces - in fact, Bai Xiao only had a large number of familiar faces in reality around him when he first arrived, and when he penetrated most of the Flame Empire in fifteen days, all he saw along the way were strangers.

According to his and Lan Lan's analysis, this situation should be a natural reaction to dreams.

The weavers of this dream are those resentful souls who have been suppressed in the ruins of the void world, Bai Xiao is just a participant, but his sense of existence is too strong, so when he is pulled into the dream, he will distort the surrounding environment and generate familiar characters such as Lan Lan, Lu Xun, and Zheng Liming.

But in addition, the entire dream world still operates according to the memories of those resentful spirits, so whether it is the Flame King or the leaders of the rebel army, they are not people that Bai Xiao is familiar with.

So far, most of those unfamiliar faces have not intersected with themselves much, as if they were separated by a thin veil.

For example, the previous famous imperial prime minister, who left a strong mark in the history books, almost single-handedly defeated all the rebels, so that the last flame king succeeded, but unfortunately the faint king was incompetent, and he was defeated by the rebel strategists, and finally let the prime minister die - of course, now it seems that it may be the real flame king hiding behind the scenes to kill him.

Such a strong man should have been a bloody battle. In fact, as the prime minister of the empire, his strength is beyond doubt, even by the standards of later generations, he is at least enough to inherit the name of high-level witch in the white-clothed tribe, but after a battle, it is almost like a routine, the prime minister opened with a few big moves, which were perfectly avoided by Bai Xiao, and then shot his head with a spear...... The big man of the era who was illustrious fell to his death.

In retrospect, Bai Xiao felt like he was fighting with a puppet, to use modern language, it was plot killingβ€”but it was his enemy who encountered the plot killing.

The prime minister is like this, and the same is true of the Flame King, after the city was broken, he was stabbed to death by Bai Xiao on the throne with almost no resistance, which is also very different from the real history.

According to historical records, this last faint king, even if he was just a puppet puppet of the real Flame King, was also killed by the anti-plot and became a laughing stock, but in the last years of the dynasty, when the country was about to fall, he still made a strong resistance. He built the Elemental Pool, and did not hesitate to die with the many rebels besieging the city and the people trapped in the city until the last moment, at least fully demonstrating the courage of a tyrant.

However, in this dream, he died like a child's play.

Compared with his previous experience, this gentle middle-aged rebel leader inevitably seemed too "vivid", and in the face of the strong Lan Lan, he did not argue head-on, but retreated as advance, putting on an appearance of being slaughtered by others. But this gesture seems to be honest, but it is tantamount to putting Lan Lan in the position of a tyrant...... It is indeed a clever way to advance by retreating.

For a while, Bai Xiao's heart vaguely flashed the shadow of Qingyue, and when he thought of Qingyue, he couldn't help but be stunned, he had seen many familiar faces in this dream, such as Lu Xun, Zheng Liming and even the compatriots in the white-clothed tribe, but he didn't see Qingyue.

Where would she be?

Bai Xiao lost his mind for a while, and Lan Lan unceremoniously overstepped his bounds and argued with the elegant middle-aged rebel leader as Bai Xiao's spokesperson.

"You're right, the Flame Dynasty has fallen, and the new dynasty does have rules, so what rules do you want?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "How can I be qualified to mention any rules? It's just that I followed the white-clothed army all the way to the royal city, just like a tourist." It is already a great honor to be qualified to participate in this meeting, and I really dare not mention the word rules. ”

Lan Lan refused to let him go, and asked: "You don't even have the rules you want, so what's the point? When you give a generous speech in your hometown and incite your compatriots, don't you depict the future in a fascinating way?"

The middle-aged man was asked by Lan Lan reluctantly, and he was helpless, so he had to arch his hand and said: "What I ask for is nothing more than the equality of all living beings and the peace of the world." ”

Lan Lan sneered: "All beings are equal, how can they be equal? Today's meeting in the palace is about the fate of hundreds of millions of people in the world, but there are only about two hundred people in the meeting, what is this called equality?"

The middle-aged man said: "It's my misrepresentation, and my so-called equality is certainly not an idealistic generalization...... Maybe thousands of years from now, human beings can really ......"

"Don't talk about what will happen in thousands of years, don't waste everyone's time. ”

The middle-aged man finally said with a straight face: "I hope that the new dynasty can reproduce the grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought in ancient times." ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion in the venue, and many people expressed their support either explicitly or implicitly.

Lan Lan said: "Reproducing the ancient era? This statement is interesting, nearly half of the leaders of the rebel army present today are representatives of 'heresy', right? Well, our white-clothed army is no exception, and you have already seen the power of Bai Xiao's martial arts." ”

The middle-aged man said: "The Flame Dynasty has spared no effort to suppress heretics for thousands of years, martial artists, thaumaturgy, willpower, and symbiosis...... The number of persecutors is innumerable, and I only hope that there will be no more such senseless persecution in the new country. ”

As soon as these words came out, the venue immediately echoed the voices, and even Bai Xiao felt that there was nothing wrong with these words.

If a hundred schools of thought can contend, of course, it is better than one dominance.

But at the same time, he also vaguely felt that things were not so simple, because no matter how good a hundred schools of thought were, it was seven thousand years ago, since the first generation of Flame Kings unified the world and established the first unified civilization of mankind, there have been no hundred schools of thought in human beings.

The Flame Dynasty was followed by the Thunder Dynasty, and after the Thunder Dynasty entered the Demon Dao Era, the so-called power of the ancient hundred schools of thought only occasionally remained in the frontiers outside the territory of civilization, which can be called a bloody reality, but more powerful than any idealistic words.

If the controversy of a hundred schools of thought is really that good, it should not be lifeless.

Sure enough, the next moment Lan Lan said: "You used the wrong word, what you want is for a hundred flowers to bloom, not for a hundred schools of thought to contend." The so-called contention, there must be only one winner in the end, the resources under the world are limited, if you occupy it, others will not be able to occupy it, the Flame King will not hesitate to shake the country's capital to suppress heresy, in order to monopolize the world's resources, so that his Fire Element Dynasty can be passed on for generations. ”

The middle-aged man said: "However, the expropriation is tyrannical, and it will not last long......"

Lan Lan said: "How long will it take? People have been rampant for a thousand years, and how long has the history of human beings blooming?"

The middle-aged man's forehead gradually oozed sweat, it is true that he is eloquent, and there are actually many words in his heart that can deal with Lan Lan's questioning, but no amount of words can cope with Lan Lan's increasingly aggressive posture. Being watched by the girl with cold eyes, it is getting harder and harder to speak......

Fortunately, at this time, someone else took over the problem.

An old man who seemed to be very virtuous and respectable said: "Whether a hundred flowers bloom or a hundred schools of thought contend, it is indeed an overly idealistic concept, but we can't even lose our ideals because of the cruelty of reality." Human civilization may not be able to accommodate all rivers and rivers now, but thousands of years later, ......"

Lan Lan interrupted: "Then let's wait for thousands of years to discuss this topic." ”

"Those in power should not only look at the present, but always have to make a long-term plan for future generations......

Lan Lan said: "Don't use the descendants as a shield, I said that you go around and around, isn't it a waste of time? Why don't I summarize for you: Although the people who overthrew the tyranny of the tyrant are the white-clothed army, the cake left by the dynasty is too big, and I want to know that the white-clothed army can't eat it all, and there are only a few hundred of us in total, and most of them are just following Xiaobai all the way to clean up the battlefield." As for Xiaobai, he has no interest in power and wealth, so this cake is almost completely placed here, and you people who are oppressed and poor are naturally going to break your head. ”

This was said in Lan Lan's style, straightforward to the point of being almost mean, and someone in the audience immediately wanted to object, but Lan Lan glanced at it and said, "If someone has high morals, they will share the spoils...... No, if you are not interested in sharing the cake, you can leave the venue for the time being, and wait for the cake to come back to participate in the future topics. ”

Everyone in the venue suddenly fell silent.

Lan Lan said: "I'll make a statement here, the royal city was beaten down by Xiaobai, so even if our white-clothed army is weak, the word 'army' is a bit unworthy of the name, but the throne is ours, and before Xiaobai abdicates, the power of martial arts will be the power of the country's royal road." ”

There was silence for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Lan Lan didn't stop it, and let these people make noise with each other, just scanning the surroundings with playful eyes.

Bai Xiao was also silent, as if it was none of his business.

In fact, it's really none of his business, he's just a traveler in a dream, and he has no interest in any national policy or throne at all, he just wants to let those resentful spirits fly up as soon as possible and end the dream.

And he had briefly discussed and analyzed with Lan Lan and others before, and preliminarily deduced several key nodes of the dream.

The first is the fall of the Flame King.

After all, most of the people who pulled Bai Xiao into a dream were the souls who were made into elemental pool water by the Flame King of real history, and they didn't be able to witness the fall of the Flame Dynasty until they died, so Bai Xiao's elimination of the Flame King in his dream should be regarded as fulfilling their wishes.

Unfortunately, this has been denied not long ago: the bones of the Flame King have turned to ashes, but the dream continues.

The second key node is the Thunder King.

According to Bai Xiao's newly refreshed view of history, the fall of the Flame Dynasty was actually directed by the Thunder King. After the incomparably tragic sacrifices of the rebels, the newly established dynasty was still ruled by the original man, which was equivalent to the stolen fruits of the revolution...... This point has never been recorded in the history books, but the parties involved at the time may have known it, but in the end, before they could make a sound, they were drowned under the rolling tide of history.

Then the task of this dream is to find the real culprit hidden behind the scenes.

This is also what Lanlan is currently doing.

In fact, 15 days to penetrate the entire Flame Dynasty was one of the strategies designed by Lan Lan to force the Thunder King to appear.

If not, according to orthodox strategic thinking, if the white-clothed army wants to rule the world smoothly, it should prolong the war, and wait for the rebels from all walks of life to take action, and then be suppressed by the dynasty, and when the uprising falls into a setback, Bai Xiao will come forward to turn the tide. In other words, the so-called charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake.

At the same time, if the white-clothed army wants to rule the world with only a few hundred people, it is child's play, and if it really wants to make the basic plate of rule firm, at least leave time for Lan Lan to win over people.

But Lan Lan completely ignored these strategic common senses and fully supported Bai Xiao to destroy the dynasty with his personal combat power in the shortest possible time...... In order to break everyone's conspiracy with this unbelievable idea, and force the Flame King to stand in front of the stage from behind the scenes. Now this spoils sharing conference is the best occasion to screen the real culprit.

No matter how the Flame King had planned before, at this point, if he wanted to continue his rule, he would have to pull the fruits of victory onto his plate in front of everyone, and it was impossible not to expose himself in the process.

So what Lan Lan is waiting for now is the first bird.

At present, the middle-aged Confucian general and the respected old man are not considered to be the first birds, at most they are stupid birds who don't know whether they are alive or dead.

Where will the real budding bird be?

After a lot of noise in the venue, it gradually quieted down, and a young woman spoke: "Setting the power of martial arts as a new royal road is the result that the white-clothed army should enjoy, and we have no intention of objecting, but can this royal road really be carried out to the end?"

Hearing this, Lan Lan raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Bai Xiao in the afterglow, signaling that the suspect had appeared and could get serious.

"Why can't we follow through?"

The woman said sincerely, "Because the foundation is too shallow, there are too few people with martial arts potential. The strength of Lord Bai Xiao is only the strength of the individual, and it cannot be popularized to the public. ”

Lan Lan smiled: "Is there any basis?"

While smiling, Lan Lan quietly wrote on Bai Xiao's arm under the conference table and asked, "This is Qingyue?"

Bai Xiao gently shrugged his arm in denial, and at the same time had some doubts in his heart.

Why doesn't Lan Lan know about Qingyue?

Or, why hasn't Qingyue appeared in this world until now?

This dream is the result of the fusion of the resentment of the revenant soul of the void world and Bai Xiao's memory, after Bai Xiao just entered, almost all of them were acquaintances, but Qingyue, who he knew the most, was not present, which was really strange.

And fifteen days have passed, while Bai Xiao is sweeping through the Flame Dynasty, he is also thinking about a simple question in his heart: Since Qingyue did not appear by her side, could it be that she played a more important role in the dream realm?

Like, that Thunder King?

Right now, this girl who came out to act as a bird has a little bit of Qingyue's shadow on her body, but it is obviously not Qingyue, at least Bai Xiao's intuition is not.

But what she said was very interesting, very similar to what Lan Lan had deduced in advance, and it was worth listening to. In fact, Lan Lan was also guiding her to continue.

I only heard that the girl was not slow or sick, and said in an orderly manner: "Because there are not many people in the world who try to practice martial arts, but there are only a handful of successful ones, and those who sweep the world like the white-clothed army are not so much the power of martial arts, but more like the miracle created by the occult or the Willing Power Sect." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone next to him slapped the table and said angrily: "Bullshit! The occult and the people of the Wishing Sect want to divide the peaches, but it's too ugly, right!?"

Bai Xiao glanced at it, this person was Huang Feng, his playmate in the tribal era, with his understanding of Huang Feng, this action of slapping the table and scolding angrily was true and false, obviously cooperating with Lan Lan, and his acting skills were very exquisite.

is worthy of Huang Feng in his impression, if there is no Qingyue Lanlan and himself in this generation of the tribe, Huang Feng is about the darling of the times, and wisdom and martial arts are the best choice. This time, when Bai Xiao first fell into his dream, he told everyone in detail about the dream and the virtual world, but only a few people such as Lan Lan, Huang Feng, and Lu Xun really accepted this setting, and others couldn't accept the fact that they were people in the dream world, even with Lan Lan's speech and encouragement.

On the other side, the girl calmly responded: "I'm sorry that my example is inappropriate, but it's really the situation of your army that is too special, the strength of the white-clothed army can be said to be unique in the history of mankind, even if it is a few famous miracles in history, it is really difficult to imagine that this is the power of martial arts." ”

After a pause, she added before Huang Feng continued to slap the table: "A thousand years ago, the martial artist was completely defeated by the Elemental Sect and had to escape. At that time, the martial arts sect had reached the point of life and death, and I don't think they had any strength left at that time. ”

Huang Feng said impatiently: "You also know that it was a thousand years ago, a thousand years have passed, what is so strange about the sudden rise of the power of martial arts?"

The girl said: "Is it really the rise of the power of martial arts? I think it's more like the personal rise of Lord Bai Xiao." There are thousands of people in the world who practice martial arts, but apart from Bai Xiao, who else can cultivate the power of martial arts to such a degree?"

Speaking of this, the girl didn't care about Huang Feng wanting to interrupt herself, raised her voice, and attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone, please think about it carefully, in the past thousand years, the Flame Dynasty has dominated the world, the elemental faction has become the mainstream of the world, people have been close to the flame since birth, and flame affinity has become a trait that almost everyone has, but how many people have really enjoyed this benefit? With the development of the dynasty, the phenomenon of elemental mergers became more and more serious, and the great families continued to build flame towers to gather the power of fire everywhere in heaven and earth for their own use, while the inferior families, even if they had unique qualifications, could only barely share a little leftovers from the whirlpool swept by the towers. ”

Huang Feng couldn't help but say, "What's the use of you talking about the nonsense that these people all know?"

The girl said: "I want to ask, is this kind of element monopoly willing?"

"Nonsense, willingness, where did the uprising come from?"

"Then what efforts have you made to those who are unwilling?" said the girl, and couldn't help laughing, "More than half of the leaders of the rebel army who came to the meeting today at the invitation of the white-clothed army are 'heretics', and in my opinion, it is almost a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming. After all, the flames are monopolized, and if you want to have the power to fight, you can only start from scratch...... Then among all the heretical powers, martial arts are undoubtedly the lowest cost and the easiest to popularize. ”

At this time, another person added: "In fact, even within the Flame Dynasty, there are many powerful people who will secretly practice the Martial Dao Forbidden Law. After all, when it comes to tempering the physical body and prolonging life, the power of martial arts is the most effective. ”

The girl then said: "However, with such a popularization of martial arts, how many people have really practiced famous?Not to mention that as far as I know, even before the unification of the Elemental Dynasty, the martial artists also faced the problem of insufficient success rate and low popularity rate, and several decisive battles with the Flame King were all defeated because of the lack of soldiers on the front line. It seems that martial arts can be practiced by everyone, but in fact, it is not, the truth of poor literature and rich martial arts is not fundamentally different from the flame element. In other words, the power of the ancient hundred schools of thought is the same, without the accumulation of resources, even if the genius of the heavens is limited, his achievements are limited after all. ”

At this time, even Lan Lan was impatient: "Then what do you want to say? Our white-clothed army relied on the power of martial arts to overthrow tyranny, but as a result, you don't look down on the power of martial arts?"

The girl said: "I just want to say that forcibly pushing martial arts does not necessarily lead to the desired results, and may even backfire. Just imagine, the white-clothed army ordered the people of the world to practice martial arts, but the result was that no one in the whole world could practice martial arts to become famous, and the progress was not even comparable to those who controlled the flames, how could this be embarrassing?"

Lan Lan finally showed a sincere smile: "That's a good point, so you mean that we overthrew the Flame King, but we want to follow his national policy and continue to implement the way of the elements?

These words were quite heartfelt, but when he spoke, Lan Lan frantically gestured with an exclamation mark on Bai Xiao's arm.

The Thunder King suspect has appeared!

Bai Xiao also felt that the girl in front of him, who was quite unfamiliar with her eyebrows, was very suspicious in terms of identity, and it was likely to be the Thunder King he was looking for after this dream.

But on the one hand, this matter is still only in the stage of suspicion, and there is no conclusive evidence, on the other hand, even if it is really determined that she is behind the scenes, what can be done?

Bai Xiao didn't think the problem was so simple.

In particular, he noticed that when the girl spoke, the performance of the rebel leaders in the venue became more and more "vivid", which made him think that perhaps the key to this dream was the meeting itself.

Most of the content that has nothing to do with the core theme of the dream has been blurred, for example, Bai Xiao penetrated the entire Flame Dynasty in fifteen days, during which many details obviously lacked sufficient logic, and it was obvious that the dream did not intend to waste resources on these "details".

On the contrary, the post-war spoils sharing conference became the focus, which is really a bit ridiculous, because dreamers should not have been able to see the scene of the fall of the Flame Dynasty until they died, and it stands to reason that their greatest ideal should be to witness the Flame King being cut by a thousand knives, but what they have in mind is to share the spoils?

Bai Xiao was full of doubts in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision for a while, but with the trembling of his arm, he signaled Lan Lan to continue the show and see how this conference could end.

Lan Lan was encouraged, and his eyes became sharper and sharper, as if he regarded the girl who took the lead to speak as a great enemy.

However, the girl was indifferent, and said with a smile: "Of course you can't retire successfully, on the contrary, I really have a reluctant request here, I only hope that the white-clothed army can sit on the throne, even if it goes through a hundred years or a thousand years." ”

These words immediately caused an uproar, and even Lan Lan couldn't help but be surprised.

The girl continued: "The Flame Dynasty collapsed too quickly, and we are not ready for the change of dynasties at all, in this case, it is a powerful ruler who exists, which is more conducive to the common people in the world. Otherwise, I am afraid that within the next day, the leaders of the rebel army from all walks of life present will fight for the conflict of interests. ”

These remarks made the noise in the venue even worse, and many people slapped the table and scolded: "What nonsense! You are shameless slander!"

The girl completely ignored the pressure pointed out by Qianfu, and said eloquently: "The facts are in front of you, after the fall of the Flame Dynasty, many people only saw the huge cake, but they didn't see the responsibilities and obligations that need to be borne to divide the cake. Let me give you a simple example: the spring ploughing season is approaching, and in the past, the bureaucrats of the Flame Dynasty worked out strategies from top to bottom, arranging for cultivation to encounter natural and man-made disasters in some places, and it was also up to the Dynasty to find ways to relieve the disaster. And now, are these bureaucracies still functioning as usual? Rebel leaders, have you cleaned up your own territory?"

The controversy in the venue suddenly became much quieter, and many people were speechless even if they wanted to argue strongly.

Because this girl's words happened to hit the point of many people!

When a dynasty is entering its last years, it is the easiest to rise up, and it only takes a lot of blood. But there are very few that can really go the long way. Taking the Flame Dynasty as an example, when the first Flame King swept the Eight Desolations, he never forgot the word diligent government. On the one hand, it conquered the city, and on the other hand, it allowed the people of the dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, and multiplied, so everyone in the world was submissive.

However, the current situation is that the rebel armies from all walks of life have just raised the anti-flag, just because the white-clothed army has eliminated the Flame King like a bamboo, and hurried to the royal capital to gather to discuss state affairs. In fact, their own territory is far from peaceful, and even many people's territories have been full of smoke and chaos.

"We raise the flag against tyrants for the sake of the peace and well-being of the people of the world, and not for our own selfish interestsβ€”I know that many people do not think of this great and righteous argument in their hearts, but because of its great righteousness, I am here to say it openly, and I am afraid that no one can openly refute it. ”

Lan Lan nodded, smiling without saying a word.

If you don't dare to refute it openly, you can't help but look down on the white-clothed army too much, with Bai Xiao's strength at this time, the people in the world are like ants to him, everyone is not the same species at all, even if hundreds of millions of people are gathered?

However, the point at the moment is not to refute her looks, so let her play to her heart's content.

And Lan Lan didn't speak, and the venue gradually fell silent, so the girl's voice became more and more powerful.

"If you want to make the people of the world too safe and healthy, it is probably not appropriate to rashly implement the power of an ancient that has been lost for thousands of years. Taking farming as an example, the lime plains, the largest grain producing area of the dynasty, most of the farms are using the fire of abundance. During the farming season, people light the fire of abundance to purify the soil, eliminate weeds and pests, and use the meaning of elemental flow to direct the heat energy from the depths of the earth to the ground, instead of sunlight to ripen crops, and can also produce a variety of out-of-season fruits and vegetables. ”

"A well-functioning farm can produce enough food for 10,000 people in a year with only a few hundred farmers and ten skilled flame bringers. So if the new kingdom has to force the power of martial arts, how can I replace the fire of abundance with the power of martial arts?"

Even Lan Lan couldn't help but want to applaud these words.

Because what the girl said was really good, and the better she said, the more she looked like the "Thunder King" in Lan Lan's eyes!

However, before Lan Lan was ready to open her mouth to test her, she heard someone speak again in the venue.

An old man said in a deep voice: "What you said is indeed the truth, whether it is the change of dynasty or the establishment of a new orthodox force, it is not an overnight achievement, maybe in the next ten or twenty years, we will still have to follow the many traditions of the Flame Dynasty." ”

"But we are gathering here today, not only to divide the legacy of the Flame King, but also to determine the long-term future of the world. If the white-clothed army wants to promote the power of martial arts, it seems to me that it is also a good strategy. Perhaps the power of martial arts does have many deficiencies, but we have enough time to make up for it. If one day, hundreds of millions of people in the world will be as powerful as Lord Bai Xiao......"

Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted with a sneer: "Then I'm afraid the world will become a cannibalistic purgatory." ”

As he spoke, the man stood up and arched his hand at Bai Xiao and the others on the main seat: "In Xia Ye He, the people in the southern Xingqu, people are soft-spoken, they shouldn't be grandstanding here, but some words are not unpleasant. With all due respect, Lord Bai Xiao's combat power is earth-shattering, but the amount of food is also earth-shattering, right?"

Bai Xiao smiled: "That's right. ”

Ye He saw that Bai Xiao was easy to speak, and was immediately encouraged: "Then the problem is simple, if it is the world...... Not to mention hundreds of millions of people in the world, as long as tens of thousands of people are as powerful as adults, there is not enough food in the world. And the power of the adults is earth-shattering, but when this power falls on farming, how many people can play the effect?"

Lan Lan said: "You might as well simplify the problem, whether Bai Xiao can achieve self-sufficiency in food." The answer is of course not, the power of martial arts does have a disadvantage in terms of production. Behind a martial arts powerhouse, there must always be dozens or hundreds of logistics personnel. ”

Ye He arched his hand again: "Thank you Lord Lan Lan for your honesty, since this is the case, I think things will be clear at a glance." The power of martial arts is valuable, but it is not suitable as a way to popularize the world. ”

Lan Lan asked, "Then what do you mean by the avenue that is suitable for popularizing the world?"

"With all due respect, I'm afraid the elemental power is still the way to go. ”

As soon as these words came out, the opposition in the venue was like a surging tide, and someone simply threw the objects they were carrying at Ye He, making this young man from Xingqu in the south embarrassed.

Bai Xiao stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "Quiet." ”

In an instant, an invisible ripple spread violently, and everyone felt as if a wind had risen in the palace, and they were unable to speak anymore.

After a while, the wind and waves were calm, people wiped their cold sweat and looked around, and the palace was in chaos, as if there was really a storm raging across the border, and the candlesticks, murals, gold and jade ornaments placed all over the palace were crooked.

However, this storm was nothing more than the aftermath caused by Bai Xiao gently tapping on the table.

The venue was hastily arranged, and most of the tables, chairs, and utensils in the palace were temporarily moved from all parts of the palace, but they were just ordinary wooden furniture, and there was nothing unusual about it. Not to mention being beaten by Bai Xiao, several strong rebel leaders in the field hammered it with all their might, which could also tear the wooden table apart. What's more, Bai Xiao's knock suddenly set off a gale.

However, on the wooden table in front of Bai Xiao, there was not even half a dent.

This subtle use of power was miraculous, and the venue was silent for a while, and many people couldn't help but hold their breath, and their awe of Bai Xiao spread to their bodies and minds.

It is a well-known fact that the Flame King died in the hands of Bai Xiao, leaving only an inconspicuous urn, but this fact is only witnessed by a very few people, and most people only stay at the level of oral stories about Bai Xiao's strength, and they have not witnessed it with their own eyes.

Now people have finally opened their eyes.

After a while, several people dressed in religious clothes even burst into tears, got up from their seats, and were about to give Bai Xiao a big salute, as if in their eyes, the actual leader of the white-clothed army was the true god who saved the suffering of the world!

Bai Xiao banged on the table again, setting off a second storm and making everyone completely shut up.

Then he looked at Ye He and said, "You said that the power of the elements is the best choice, and this is not true. But you also heard the opposition just now, even many former ministers of the Flame Dynasty did not dare to say that they would continue to promote the way of flames, this should be called, political correctness?"

Ye He said: "The tyranny of the Flame Dynasty lasted for at least hundreds of years, and the people of the world were struggling to make a living, and even many of the dynasty's vassals could not bear it. Now that tyrants are under control, billions of people all over the world are longing for a new world, even if it is not necessarily beneficial to them...... In this case, it is really not a good choice to continue with the flame element, so I considered whether I could do both virtual and real. ”

"Fiction and reality?"

"To put it simply, we are promoting the power of martial arts on the surface - after all, Lord Bai Xiao has proved to the world how amazing the upper limit of this power is, as far as I know, there are already many people who have sung your legendary stories all over the world, and more and more people have begun to yearn for your power. At the same time, I remember that when the Flame King established his dynasty, the biggest enemy was the martial artist, so the revival of martial arts can be regarded as having a historical origin......"

Lan Lan interrupted: "Don't talk this nonsense, get to the point." ”

Ye He looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, what I want to say is that we promote martial arts on the surface, but in fact we still follow the way of the elements. In this way, we can most smoothly survive the turbulent period of changing dynasties. ”

Before the words were finished, the venue became noisy and chaotic again, and the leaders of the rebel army each took out the only remaining bits and pieces on their bodies and threw them at Ye He, and a few people even did not hesitate to carry the flame element they carried, and played a desperate throw.

However, before Ye He's nose was blue and his face was swollen, Bai Xiao cleared the venue with another concussive storm.

"Let's be quiet, today's meeting is about speaking freely, not for political correctness. But on the other hand, Ye He, you have also seen that the result of following the path of the elements is to be attacked by the crowd of people all over the world. How are you going to solve this problem?"

Ye He glanced at Bai Xiao, and was a little surprised that he was actually here to ask.

In Ye He's cognition, the leader of the white-clothed army is, of course, Bai Xiao like a god, but the person who speaks is Lan Lan. Compared with Bai Xiao, the former leader of the white-clothed army can be described as a perfect leader, full of wisdom, courage and decisiveness, and extremely strong personal strength. It is said that she even did not hesitate to use herself as bait to sneak into the mansion of a border envoy and pretend to be a prisoner, and assassinated Zheng Liming, who was famous for his murder.

That is a master second only to the prime minister in the dynastic sequence, although he does not have administrative power, but he can silence many feudal officials, among which Zheng Liming is still a rare pragmatist, whether it is personal combat power or conspiracy, it is a rare bright spot in a dynasty that is about to be strange.

Before Lan Lan, no one from all walks of life dared to pay attention to the border envoys, so Lan Lan's strength can be seen.

In the meeting just now, she controlled the audience by herself, and that aura was really heartbreaking, compared to Bai Xiao, who was worshiped by many people as a god, she looked like a mascot.

Who knew that now it was another mascot who spoke.

The young man sorted out his mood and replied seriously: "Although there are many changes to political correctness, it is indeed a basic norm that needs to be followed, and the people's will is what the people want. For example, the flame elemental is now portrayed by many as the root of all evil, as if this power that has been pervasive for thousands of years has become unclean...... But let's be realistic, without the element of fire, the vast majority of people in this country don't even know how to live. So, what we need to do is just change the name and keep the essence. ”

When Bai Xiao heard this, he even smiled rarely: "Keep talking." ”

Bai Xiao's statement made many people who wanted to refute it have to close their mouths and continue to watch Ye He's performance.

Ye He was encouraged: "Let me give you a simple example...... Pardon my rudeness. ”

As he spoke, Ye He raised his hand, and a light burst out from his palm.

It was a burst of flames.

There was a sudden faint cursing from some people in the venue.

Being able to light a flame at will is obviously a very clever flame bringer, so it's no wonder that he's making a lot of nonsense here......

Ye He said: "The carving insect skill makes you laugh, but do you know how humans first recognized flames?"

These words made many rebel leaders stunned.

First known as the flame?

In the venue, the girl who was suspected of being the Thunder King said thoughtfully: "Thunder Fire?"

Ye He said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the young master of Xiyue Mountains and Rivers, yes, it is the thunder fire, the first flame used by human beings is the thunder fire caused by the thunder hitting the mountains and forests." So, if we can't use the fire element openly, why don't we change to the thunder element?"

Hearing this, Lan Lan raised his eyebrows and prepared to get up and act.

Bai Xiao grabbed her.

It's not time yet...... Although this Ye He's performance is almost on the cards, Bai Xiao always feels that it is far from being able to assert that he is the Thunder King.

This is not the intuition of being a political leader - in fact, Bai Xiao has never felt that he is suitable to be a political leader - but the intuition of being a hunter.

The real prey is still hidden behind, this Ye He is just a target that has been pushed out to attract firepower, and wasting ammunition on him is in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Let him continue, and naturally there will be others who will object.

According to real history, the Thunder King replaced the Flame King after going through countless setbacks and tribulations before finally winning the support of the people of the world. At that time, the rebel armies from all walks of life suffered heavy losses, and all the heretics were suppressed by the dynasty so that they could not breathe, and only the Thunder King was able to stand alone, which allowed him to logically transition the Elemental Dynasty from the Age of Flames to the Age of Thunder.

But now, this historical process has been crushed by Bai Xiao, the Thunder King has no chance to prove himself at all, and those ancient heretics who have just raised the anti-flag have not suffered tragic losses, it is the time to be eager to try and prepare to share the cake, how can someone be allowed to inherit the legacy of the Flame Dynasty like this!?

Sure enough, someone soon jumped out to oppose it, it was a well-dressed young man, who stood out among the leaders of the rebel army, who were mainly civilians.

", you still have to follow the way of the elements? Why are there still people who are superstitious about this? If the way of the elements is really reliable, how can they raise a tyrant like the Flame King!?"

Bai Xiao glanced at this person, completely unfamiliar, but his expression and demeanor were vivid, he should be a real historical figure who played an important role in the dream.

Lan Lan explained to him: "This is the son of the Flame King's important ministers, Kang Ping, the famous Flame Messenger, but he spared no effort in opposing the tyranny of the Flame King, and he is a typical young man whose brain has been poisoned by idealism. ”

Bai Xiao recalled it seriously and confirmed that in the history he knew, there was no record of this person. Obviously, idealists simply cannot find a sense of existence in the face of the tide of history.

However, the next moment, this idealist with no sense of existence threw out a very weighty news.

"After all, the power of the elements is simply the evil demon path from the sky!"
