Chapter 7: Reminiscences of the Past

In the lonely underground secret room, the candlelight flickered, Yan Yunbei walked towards the high wall, closed his eyes, and reached out to touch the totem on the wall, as if he was remembering something.

After a long time, Yan Yunbei gradually turned around, looked at Bing Xue scrutinically, and suddenly said, "Bing Xue, didn't you ask me why I only let you have to train?"

Bing Xue couldn't help but look at Yan Yunbei when he heard this, and a pair of calm eyes were brewing with a bit of puzzlement and exploration.

Yan Yunbei raised his hand to slowly untie the belt of his clothes, and as the cyan robe unfolded, he turned his back to the ice and snow, and suddenly the scene on his back appeared in front of the ice and snow, which made the ice and snow heart shock.

I saw that on the broad and strong back, there was a large area of erosion marks caused by burns, these marks turned into scars with the addition of time, and the scabs on the scars had long since fallen off, but I could still imagine how painful the burned person was at that time.

Bing Xue stared at those scars, and his elegant jade face turned a little pale, and murmured, "Father......"

Yan Yunbei slowly pulled up his clothes, tied the belt, and raised his head. looked at the totem on the wall and said, "Bing Xue, do you know about the Jingling Rebellion." ”

Bing Xue, who was standing behind Yan Yunbei, said: "The first generation of kings of the dynasty took advantage of the Jingling Rebellion to calm the war and was supported by the people, so as to ascend the throne and become the emperor. ”

"Hehe......" A low and somewhat mocking laugh came out of Yan Yunbei's mouth, and then asked.

"How is it recorded in the history of the wilderness?"

Bing Xue glanced at Yan Yunbei hesitantly, and said: "At that time, the countries were short and handsome, and they couldn't hold each other, and all the countries injured 1,000 enemies and 800 themselves. However, only one of the nations was different, because of its weak military strength and small area, it was ignored by the nations, so that it was saved in the war of the neighbors. ”

"The troops are weak, the area is small, hahahaha........."

Yan Yunbei suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and when he turned around, his deep eyes were already full of burning anger, and he said, "Do you know that this so-called small country was the overlord of the Central Plains before this!"

"However, in the history books, it is only recorded that our dynasty is the only overlord who won the Central Plains......"

"Success and defeat, those historians who write history books are just lackeys of the royal family, and they will always only write history according to the wishes of the victors, regardless of right and wrong, and do not distinguish between right and wrong!"

"I think that the Dayan Dynasty, which was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period in the past, once met no one differently, but now it has ended up like this, and any group of yellow-mouthed children are wantonly entertaining!"

In the end, Yan Yunbei couldn't help choking, raised his head slightly, and his indignation overflowed his chest, and he had been on the bloody battlefield all year round, and the iron man who had always been invincible and invincible was gradually moistening his eyes at this moment.

Seeing Yan Yunbei so sad and helpless, the bitterness in Bing Xue's mouth surged up, and a pair of plain and waveless eyes like clear water were slightly wet at the moment.

The revenge of the family and the country has not yet been avenged, but he still has to serve the enemy, how can people not feel sad! How ridiculous and ironic is this so-called title of mighty general!

Yan Yunbei took a slow breath, looked at the dragon totem on the high wall, and recalled the past.

..............................

Outside the royal city, the fierce horse galloped, the sound of horses' hooves, and the communication soldier with the war report document in his hand rode a brown war horse and rushed to the city.

The people in the city retreated one after another, the fierce horses galloped unhindered on the streets, and the voice of the signal soldiers immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"It's another great victory, the dynasty really deserves to be the overlord of the Central Plains!"

"The battle of Huatian was provoked by the Marquis of Jin at first, but it did not come to fruition, and finally caused the princes to declare war, and the Marquis of Jin was forced by the princes to have no way out, and had to pay tribute to the dynasty tens of millions of ores, thousands of Meiji, and made a hundred-year pact with the dynasty, and the annual tribute required to pay four times the tribute in the past, which is also deserved. ”

"The dynasty's willingness to help the Marquis of Jin can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, after all, this war was also provoked by the Marquis of Jin, and the Marquis of Jin deserves to suffer by himself. ”

"The dynasty is so generous, if you want me to say, the ambition of this Jin Marquis is obvious, but unfortunately, our king just can't see it!"

"Yes, who doesn't know, this Marquis of Jin is very arrogant! It is a disaster for the dynasty to keep him!"

"What can I do about this? The day before yesterday, I heard that His Majesty promised that if the war was won, he would set up a banquet to invite the Marquis of Jin......

A few days later, a caravan of chariots and horses drove into the royal city, and it was not too great to be like the battle of the king.

In the palace hall of the dynasty, hundreds of tables of delicacies are displayed, several princes and grandsons are dressed in gorgeous clothes, pinned to the waist with jade sachets, standing quietly on the side and waiting, the emperor of the Yan Dynasty surrounded by central beauties is covered by bright yellow dragon robes, and his eyes are like torches.

The sky gradually changed, the sunlight became more intense, Emperor Yan saw that the hour had passed, but he never saw the figure of the Marquis of Jin, and his majestic face couldn't help but flash a trace of unhappiness.

When the favorite concubine beside her saw it, her eyes flowed, and she immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jin has not arrived for a long time, presumably because of the fatigue of the carriage and horses, and the age of the elderly, the body may not be able to withstand it, and I forgot the hour for a while, it is better for Your Majesty to send someone to urge ......."

"Aifei is really understanding. It's okay, and send someone to urge him!" Emperor Yan looked at the favorite concubine with a peach blossom face and charming eyes like silk, and suddenly the unhappiness on his face swept away, and the dragon robe was unfurled, and he hugged the favorite concubine in his arms.

After the attendant had gone to urge, soon after, a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple python robe walked up the steps quickly and walked towards everyone.

"Meet the king, meet the queen!" the middle-aged man saluted respectfully towards Emperor Yan and the dignified and elegant queen beside him.

"The Marquis of Jin is tired, you can go to the palace to rest, and it is not too late to eat. Emperor Yan looked at the Marquis of Jin and smiled, with a little temptation in his friendly smile.

When the Marquis of Jin saw it, he felt a chill behind him, and said in a panicked manner: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Successfully pleased by the cowardice of the Marquis of Jin, the corners of Emperor Yan's eyebrows rose slightly, but he still looked at him deeply, after all, only others have always flattered him, but no one has ever dared to make him wait for a long time, Marquis Jin's current move makes Emperor Yan feel offended, isn't this the face of his dignified generation of emperors under his feet?

The Marquis of Jin restrained his usual arrogance, and followed behind everyone submissively, under the dark purple robe, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and when he swept the back of Emperor Yan, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

At the banquet, the Marquis of Jin was like a river, and he sighed that the dynasty was strong, and he admired Emperor Yan's way of governing the country.

Emperor Yan couldn't help but flutter, and said: "If you hadn't rescued me from the sea of fire back then, I wouldn't have helped you today, and look at the famine in the territory under your jurisdiction now, the famine has not been able to solve itself, if it weren't for me to help you, you are afraid that you will be drowned by the spittle of the people." ”

The Marquis of Jin below smiled awkwardly, noncommittal, turned around and still praised Emperor Yan persistently, and said: "That is, who can work hard like Your Majesty, win the trust of the people, and be supported by the people." ”

Emperor Yan looked at him with a smile.

After a long time, the Marquis of Jin still had no words, and the expression on Emperor Yan's face did not change, but he couldn't help but look at the Marquis of Jin with a slight look in his eyes.

The rumored Marquis of Jin is unlearned, and he can be regarded as an existence with a relatively low level of knowledge among the princes, but now that he looks at it, it may not be.

Xu is aware of Emperor Yan's doubts, and the praise in the mouth of the Marquis of Jin immediately stopped, and he turned to say: "Your Majesty, the reason why Weichen is late is because of one thing. ”

Emperor Yan looked at him with a little interest on his face.

At this time, the Marquis of Jin turned his head to look outside the hall and clapped his hands.

After a while, while everyone was waiting, a group of people entered the main hall, and when they stood on the steps and saluted, everyone saw that it was a wizard, and they were all very surprised.

Seeing everyone's doubts, the Marquis of Jin got up and bowed to Emperor Yan, and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty's timely help, Huatian would be in danger." In order to thank the dynasty, the minister specially invited these sorcerers to pray for the blessing of the dynasty. ”

Emperor Yan laughed when he heard this: "I see, Aiqing's good intentions are very gratifying. ”

"The minister didn't dare to be. The Marquis of Jin arched his hand towards Emperor Yan, turned to look at the group of wizards, nodded, and sat down.

Then the wizards dispersed, chanting and dancing, and a bell gradually rang,

The night in the sky was hazy, and the stars that had been twinkling gradually dimmed, as if to indicate the imminent demise of prosperity.

In the main hall, the dances of the wizards gradually changed, the chanting gradually became evil, and the corners of the mouth of the Marquis of Jin, who was sitting on one side in the strange atmosphere, rose up, and the smugness in his eyes that the treacherous plan was about to succeed was uncontrollably slightly revealed.

Before everyone knew it, a group of tiny things fell into the whole hall and spread throughout the palace, and at this time, everyone was so engrossed in watching the wizards perform that they did not realize that small insects had appeared in their clothes and food.

At the end of the performance, Emperor Yan laughed and said, "Okay, you must be rewarded." ”

After the wizards accepted Emperor Yan's generous reward, they left the main hall, and the Marquis of Jin looked at Emperor Yan with a smile, and after enjoying the performances of several concubines and princesses, he left with generous rewards.

Four or five days after the Marquis of Jin left the royal city, the concubines and princesses who had not yet built a palace outside the palace began to have fever and shiver from time to time.

Soon, the people of the royal city also showed this symptom, and everyone was panicked for a while, and the people fled from the royal city one after another. Emperor Yan ordered the royal city to be sealed down, and the entire royal city was shrouded in the darkness of disease.

At the same time, Emperor Yan had sent people around many times to find the whereabouts of the divine doctor Ye Guzi, but to no avail.

When the dynasty fell into despair, the princes were in turmoil again, and at this time, Emperor Yan was already ill and was sick all day long.

Until the soldiers came to the city, there was not even a single soldier guarding the city gate on the wall of the royal city. The city gate was breached, and the iron cavalry galloped fiercely, and in an instant the dust outside the city was flying.

In the streets of the royal city, the people were pale and weak, and the smell of corpses was everywhere.

The palace door was knocked open, and the Marquis of Jin led the soldiers into the palace and went straight to the main hall, and the arrogant laughter resounded throughout the palace for a while.
