Chapter 569: Rolling Red Dust
The tall man had his back to the southwest Zhu Tianjun and the two Jianghu saints.
The Shattered Star Sword in the Blood Demon's hand, although it was not unsheathed, was already a sword intent.
Zhu Tianjun's expression was solemn, and the same was true of Confucian saints and Taoist saints.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. The Blood Demon spoke lightly, and slowly turned around to face the three of them.
The golden-robed young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think you alone can defeat our Twin Saints?"
The Blood Demon smiled and said, "You will know in one battle!"
The other cloth-clothed young man beside Zhu Tianjun laughed and said, "Which battle are you going to?"
"The Eastern Capital, the Dragon Bird Tower. ”
"Okay! I'll have a good time with you today! Last year, you just drank and the two of us, and it was really unpleasant. The golden-robed young man smiled and said, "Overlord Sword! Today, the master will definitely make you a soft sword!"
Zhu Tianjun smiled, shook his head and said, "The three of you are addicted to alcohol, and now that you have met together, I am afraid that there will be a battle to the death." But you're not going to meet the Young Pavilion Master?"
"Qinmu, Lao Tzu has served you for half a year, and he is already very unhappy, and now you are still using the young pavilion master to press me? Believe it or not, I will let you go to Beijing as a eunuch with a sword?"
“.......”
This river and lake is really the rivers and lakes of Gongzi Yu. The head of the nine heavens, Xuantian is respected. For generations, it has been led by those who have participated in the enlightenment of "Xuantian".
Except for the dead Haotianjun, they are all respected by Gongzi Yu.
.......
The emperor and the empress of Zhou died in a rain of arrows, causing a terrifying wave.
The 35th Army suffered 90,000 casualties in the rain of needles and the attacks of major masters in Tangmen. After all, this is the dispatch of 10,000 first-class masters in the martial arts.
A master, each of whom can be worth thousands of elite soldiers. 10,000 first-class masters are an army of millions.
Three days later, the turmoil calmed down, and the leader of the rebels, King Ning, had been ambushed, and the rebels abandoned their troops and surrendered. A day later, King Jing led the army into Beijing.
After appeasing Zhou Zhiruo, Gongziyu walked out of the courtyard.
Here he saw a man in a red robe, a man who was also wearing a mask.
This person is the Southern Yan Tianjun.
"The words of the old pavilion master before his death are to let you support King Xian to ascend the throne within three years, use what you have learned all your life, assist the new emperor of the Great Zhou, cut off the turmoil of this troubled world, ......and welcome the greatest prosperity in the world!
"Evil path?" Gongziyu smiled and said, "From the moment I became Xuantian Monarch, the debt I have borne in this life has been as heavy as the heavenly dome. ”
"Since the division of the Great Qin, the Central Plains has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the national fortune has declined in one fell swoop. The division and unification of the Central Plains has long been doomed! Although the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not right, after all, this is the trend of the times, and the national fortune will rise again. And you let the war start again, and in the end, what will lead to the peep of the northern barbarians, and the alien race will mess with my China!"
Gongziyu smiled softly and said with some sarcasm: "The world is not the world of the Great Zhou, if you want to blame it, you will blame it...... Twenty years ago, Emperor Zhou slaughtered eleven cities of Great Chu. My move is just to pay tribute to the souls of millions of innocent people in Dachu. ”
"Our mission is to assist you. Now that you've made up your mind, Nine Heavens is where you are. This power that can make people in the world willing to abandon everything is for your use. ”
Southern Yan Tianjun sighed, then turned to leave, and finally disappeared from Gongziyu's sight.
A day later, the bodies of the Emperor and Empress of Zhou were first placed in the tomb of the Imperial Garden in the old capital. King Jing returned to Beijing with the princes and nobles who had escaped the rain of arrows and the remaining 70,000 elite soldiers in that battle.
The death of Emperor Zhou shook the world. And King Jing was strongly pushed by the three divisions, and hundreds of civil and military officials were advancing, and he successfully ascended to the throne.
In the first year of Jingkang, on the tenth day of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the descendants of the five kingdoms smelled this turmoil and raised troops from all over the country.
The war broke out again, and the descendants of the five countries, the soldiers from all sides, and millions of troops from all walks of life marched towards Kyoto. And Yan Guo is still watching the fire on the other side, but as long as this fire has the potential to burn the prairies, Yan Guo will definitely raise troops.
In just one month, the Great Zhou fell to eleven counties.
The thirty-one counties of the Great Zhou have now fallen to the eleven counties, which is really a big deal. However, Zhou Emperor Zhou Wei only learned the news when he broke through the nineteen counties in a row.
King Jing was furious, such a big thing was not known until now, and it was obvious that someone deliberately suppressed the news and prevented the war from reaching the court.
Emperor Zhou was anxious, and entered the Li Mansion to see Gongziyu, but he didn't see Gongziyu, only Zhou Zhiruo was in the mansion.
Zhou Zhiruo's drowsiness was even more serious, and her body also looked a little bloated. When she learned that Emperor Zhou was in a hurry, she also hastily put on her clothes and met Emperor Zhou.
"Zhiruo, where is Mr.?" Zhou Huang said hurriedly.
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head and said, "Brother Huang, this Zhiruo doesn't know. As early as the ninth day of returning to Beijing, my husband informed me that there were still important things in the Tianji Pavilion and that I would have to go back for a while. ”
"Nine days back to Beijing?" Emperor Zhou's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
The descendants of the five kingdoms launched a riot on the tenth day when the emperor drove the crane to the west. And he didn't get the news until more than a month later. This is obviously someone deliberately suppressing this matter.
But for such a big thing, how many people can suppress such a major event as this uprising?
It is said that this river and lake is the rivers and lakes of Gongzi Yu. Emperor Zhou really saw the rivers and lakes of Gongzi Yu today!
"The emperor put you in his heart, but you treat me like this......." Emperor Zhou already knew in his heart that this matter was manipulated by Gongziyu behind the scenes. Only Gongziyu can suppress such a big thing.
The Yan Kingdom, which was far away in the southwest, knew on the second day of the army, and he, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, now knew. It's a big joke.
Emperor Zhou seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant, and fell into twilight.
"Brother Huang!" Zhou Zhiruo saw that Emperor Zhou's face was wrong, and opened her mouth in confusion.
"Zhiruo......" Emperor Zhou glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, sighed again, and turned to leave.
The incident did not end, on the second day, the third division suddenly died, and on the third day, Shangshu's left and right servants shot the same. The fourth person, the senior members of the three provinces, died at home one after another. Most of the civil and military officials died!
The court was in turmoil, and Emperor Zhou was once again reduced to no one available.
.......
In Dongdu County, a man in white stood on a high mountain, looking up at the east.
Behind him, nearly a hundred people stood. Beside him, stood an old man.
If Emperor Zhou saw this old man, he would definitely be surprised. This person turned out to be the prince and the prince who died violently.
"Young Pavilion Master, the Great Zhou is gone. The next step is to support the Yan Kingdom, or to revive the dead Chu and unify the Central Plains?" stood beside the man in white, stretched out his hand and tore it at his face.
With this tear, a leather mask fell to the ground. A stunning face was revealed.
The real prince and master had already been assassinated by the Blood Demon, and what appeared later was only one of the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Monarch.
This generation of Youtian Jun is different from the previous generation, there are two people in total. One is Yun Xiuyin, who is seventh on the beauty list, and the other is her sister Yun Xiuyin.
In this court, the first emperor put his heart into Haotianjun, and the later elected officials were just people who were chosen by Yun Xiu. These people are all from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, kill those officials in advance, and then replace them with the art of disguise.
In the court, the officials died violently. It's just a cover-up, and the truth is that he left Kyoto with Gongziyu.
"If the country is destroyed and the species are destroyed, how can it be revived. Let the world take it. Gongziyu shook his head. Again: "Since the destruction of the Great Qin, this world is the world of rivers and lakes, and the power of the court is difficult to shake this rivers and lakes." It is difficult to see the once prosperous era of martial arts. And in this world, it was finally reduced to one god, two saints and three demons, four swords, five swords and six factions, and mastered the lifeblood of the world. ”
Gongziyu paused, and said: "In the past thousand years, the power of the court has been weak, and the Central Plains martial arts have contended, now as long as the death of the Great Zhou is used to appropriately weaken this river and lake, and use this short conflict to win the long-term peace of the next life." ”
.......
The country revolted, and broke through one city after another with an unstoppable momentum. Only three months later, the dead Chu broke through the Zhumen, the dead Xia broke through the white horse, the dead Han broke the Tongque, the dead Song broke through Jingdong, and the dead Hu broke the eastern capital.
The five prefectures of Kyoto fell almost simultaneously. The five armies came from all sides, and the soldiers came to the city, and the water around Kyoto could not be drained.
There are rivers and lakes intervening to ignite the prairie fire. This is the fastest battle in history to destroy the country, but the four families and six factions, and the major valve sects, have also killed and injured many masters.
This time, the Fifth Army did not immediately attack the city, but camped and burned a fire at a distance of 100 miles from Kyoto.
Inside Kyoto, in the main hall. It's already empty. Only Emperor Zhou was left.
He looked at the empty hall and laughed.
Since he ascended to the throne, he has condescendingly looked at the civil and military officials and ministers on this dragon chair, but today, he is the only one left.
The emperor has always been alone, but in this scene, there is some mockery.
Emperor Zhou probably felt tired of laughing and stepped off the dragon chair. But just as he walked out of the main hall, he saw a woman in a yellow dress walking in.
"Zhiruo. When Emperor Zhou saw this woman, he also spoke bitterly.
"Brother Huang. Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, stopped talking, and just sighed lightly in the end.
"I still don't understand why Gongziyu treated me like this? He put me on this throne, but in the end, he took away my country. Zhiruo, you have seen the wrong person for your brother, and you also love the wrong person. ”
Zhou Zhiruo's face turned pale, but she laughed.
"No? I never felt anything wrong with falling in love with him. ”
"I'm not afraid that the royal brother will hate me, nor will I be afraid of the eyes of the world. My heart has long been a husband's person, I miss him, I miss him, and I still want to see him again. ”
Emperor Zhou smiled bitterly, was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "Zhiruo, you are good to escape from the city, you are Gongziyu's woman, he will not watch you die with Da Zhou." ”
"Zhiruo's heart belongs to her husband, but I was born in Da Zhou, and my body is also in Da Zhou, and I am a citizen of Da Zhou. Now all I can do is die with Da Zhou. ”
......
When Zhou Zhiruo returned to the Li Mansion, she walked into the study where the man stayed day and night.
When she pushed open the door, she saw a man sitting on the bamboo collapse, the man she missed day and night.
He was dressed as white as snow, but he didn't know if it was a man or a nightmare.
Gongziyu saw Zhou Zhiruo walk in, put away the book in his hand, smiled lightly, and said, "Lady." ”
Zhou Zhiruo has been missing this person, but now that she sees him, she can't feel any joy.
The longing, the pain, the pain in my heart, and the deep disappointment. A variety of emotions surged up in the bottom of my heart, staggering backwards.
Tears blurred Zhou Zhiruo's eyes, she finally spoke, and said in a trembling voice: "You... Why is this happening?"
Gongzi Yu took the half-seal mask, still with a smile, and shook his head and said: "I have many identities, the top of the Tianji List, the top of the Gongzi List, the top of the Nine Heavens List, the Young Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion, and the god of the one god, two saints and three demons in the martial arts." It's just a mask to hide my true identity. ”
Gongziyu stood up, walked slowly in front of Zhou Zhiruo, lifted the mask on his face, and smiled again: "Actually, everyone wears several masks more or less, some people only have one, and some people have many. The whole world is hidden in deception and concealment. It just so happens that I'm the one who wears a lot of masks, and it's weird, you shouldn't believe me. When my son-in-law Yu met King Jing and met you, the end of the Great Zhou's demise... It was already predestined. ”
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "Indeed, I shouldn't believe you." I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. ”
Gongziyu shook his head, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Actually, I recognized you when I saw you for the first time." Twenty years ago, the state of Chu perished, and you were the first person who wanted me to live. I am thinking of this grace, and you are my woman, so naturally I will not leave you alone and leave with me. ”
Zhou Zhiruo shook her head, showing a touch of stubbornness on her face, just like the stubborn boy who jumped into the cliff twenty years ago.
"I, Zhou Zhiruo, swear to live and die with Da Zhou! Gongziyu, after today, the name of you and my husband and wife has been broken. I'm no longer your woman. ”
Gongziyu smiled and said lightly: "Someone." ”
As soon as the words fell, a woman in white walked in with a bowl of black decoction.
If Zhou Zhi knows this woman, she is seventh on the beauty list, and the clouds are resting.
She laughed to herself when she saw Yun Xiu walk in. When I met Gongziyu for the first time, I was there. This final parting also has a cloud rest.
Is this witnessing the origin and fall of Gongzi Yu and her?
When Zhou Zhiruo saw the bowl of jet-black medicinal soup, she already knew what it was.
"Do you really want to be like this?" Zhou Zhiruo's delicate body was trembling, biting her lower lip and staring at Gongziyu.
Gongziyu nodded and shook his head again. He said, "I know that you are pregnant with my flesh and bones, and if you go with me, then you don't have to drink it." ”
Zhou Zhiruo's delicate body trembled, and her heart was really dead at this moment.
She shook her body and laughed hard.
"I'll drink!"
Zhou Zhiruo's voice was not mixed with any emotion, and fell on Gongziyu's ears, making the latter's body tremble at the same time.
"Okay! Give her this potion. ”
"Childe......" Yun Xiu was stunned, looking at this woman who was already dead, and he couldn't bear it. But in the next moment, she saw a slender hand, reached over, and picked up the decoction on the plate.
Zhou Zhiruo picked up the bowl of medicinal soup and poured it down. Although the medicinal soup was bitter, it was so light in her mouth.
No matter how bitter this medicine is, it can't compare to the bitterness of her heart.
The porcelain bowl broke along with her heart, Zhou Zhiruo laughed, and said, "Gongziyu, I have drunk this medicine, you can go." ”
Gongziyu smiled, but no one knew what was going on in his heart, whether it was bitterness or sorrow, or joy after the Great Zhou was about to perish. No one could have known that his heart was bleeding as well.
He smiled and said, "Emperor Mingyue, before you leave, I think you know my true identity. ”
"My name is Chu Cheng, I am the person who died in Chu, and the son of the king of Chu. Back then, your father slaughtered the people of the eleven cities of Great Chu, and I did this just to recover the debts owed by your father for the millions of innocent people.
Gongziyu has been laughing, laughing very happily and sadly.
Wait until the green silk turns into white hair, and wait until the heartache scabs. I could no longer get her forgiveness.
But that's enough, his son-in-law Yu deserves to die. And why should he leave behind his descendants?
Zhou Zhiruo watched Gongziyu and the woman in white gradually disappear from sight. She tried to see the man, but her vision began to blur.
"Husband.... Originally... He's you... You're him....."
For more than 20 years, the boy's face that appeared countless times in her dreams gradually began to coincide with Gongziyu's face.
The pain hit, and Zhou Zhiruo's vision finally couldn't see the figure clearly, and she fell to the ground heavily.
.......
The Fifth Route Army finally attacked the city, and there were only 200,000 forbidden troops in Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Under the attack of more than 4 million troops and a river and lake, the city gate was crumbling.
Emperor Zhou saw that the general trend had gone, and killed himself with a sword in the city wall. Before he died, he wanted to take a look at the Great Zhou Jiangshan again.
There was a shout of war. It is spread in every corner of the capital.
Zhou Zhiruo was tired on the ground and shrunk into a ball. She listened to the battle cry and touched her stomach, and the tears in her eyes were dry.
She knew that the child in her womb had passed away with that bowl of medicinal soup.
The blurred mass of flesh on the ground was so shocking.
Zhou Zhiruo stood up, found out the wedding dress she wore when she married Gongziyu, and carefully depicted her makeup in front of the mirror.
Finish makeup. She is also the top of the list of beauties who combines elegance and beauty, and the most beautiful Bright Moon Emperor in the world.
Zhou Zhiruo dragged the floor-length red wedding dress, stuffed a pill into her mouth, and went to the city gate.
It was the first time she had walked on the wall, and it was the first time she had seen such a view.
Thousands of troops and horses are coming to the city.
When she appeared, all the sunset in the sky shone on her.
Everyone's eyes also fell on her.
She glanced at Emperor Zhou, who was lying in a pool of blood, laughed softly, narrowed her eyes, and looked at the man who ruined her country and made her fall in love.
"I, Zhou Zhiruo, swear to live and die with Da Zhou!" she jumped lightly and jumped off the hundred-foot city wall.
"Siege!"
A voice rang out loudly, and countless arrows rushed into the air.
After the rain of arrows, the galloping horses shook the whole earth.
"Young Pavilion Master, that's your wife after all!"
Gongziyu chuckled lightly and said, "Zhiruo, it is indeed my wife." ”
The sound falls but the people are gone.
The soldiers saw a figure like snow, flying into the sky. Running through the rain of arrows.
What does a person think before he dies?
It is the beautiful memories of the past, and the lover who cares about it day and night.
Zhou Zhiruo slowly closed her eyes in the wind.
Hate him?
Don't hate.
Zhou Zhiruo thought like this, waiting for death to come. But in the next moment, I felt a warmth like the warm sun.
"I know, you're not going to leave me alone. Zhou Zhiruo didn't open her eyes, but she knew who was holding her.
Blood began to spill from the corners of her mouth, and her body temperature began to drop gradually.
"So, I've already taken the poison. ”
Gongziyu was still smiling, but his handsome face was extremely ugly.
"Do you hate me......"
"I... It's too late to love you, so why hate you?"
"I'm the one who ruined your country and your family......"
Zhou Zhiruo slowly opened her eyes, reached out to touch his face during the fall, and laughed.
"I know.... You've had a hard time in the past 20 years. These years of resentment have been... intrudes on you. It's just that Zhiruo hopes that the resentment in your heart can dissipate with Zhiruo's dissipation...... From then on... Only Chu Cheng... And not the masked... Childe Jade ......."
"Okay, I promise you. ”
These are Zhou Zhiruo's last words. The beauty faded away, and in the end, she still looked at the man she loved with a smile.
"I promise you...... I promise you......"
The rain of arrows is eyeless and overwhelming. In the horror of the crowd, one arrow after another pierced the body of the white robe.
The clouds are quiet, and everything is frozen.
"I promised my mother that I would not avenge her. Perhaps, this is my retribution. The land of the Central Plains, because of my chaos, this is my funeral for my mother, and I... I have already decided to bury the Great Zhou and pay tribute to the millions of lives lost in this war......"
Gongziyu bowed his head and kissed the woman in his arms, who had been sleeping forever, and smiled softly.
"Zhiruo... My husband promised you that I would take you to see the embroidered scenery outside. Today... For the husband to join hands with you and your mother, would it be good to go to Huangquan Road to have a look?"
When the words fell, the sound of three thousand tides and waves sounded, and the red clouds collapsed from the sky, turning into red mist and rolling.
In the world, there seem to be only two people left.
It's Gongzi Yu, it's Zhou Zhiruo. It's the two of them, this rolling red dust.
