After the Battle of Yunding City, although the Zhennan Army was slightly damaged, it received the surrender of the defenders of various cities along the way, and when it arrived at the old capital Lingqiu City, the number increased to 70,000.

Lingqiu City is less than 100 miles away from the royal capital Diyun City, and at this time, Diyun City only has 40,000 western garrisons led by the Zhu family and 10,000 forbidden troops in the royal capital, which is no longer advantageous in terms of numbers.

Standing on the tower of Lingqiu City, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel emotional, remembering that when he was sent to the border, the world of Southern Chu still belonged to the Xiong family, which made Lingqiu City still the most prosperous royal capital.

He looked back at Gao Fei standing beside him, and felt that he hadn't seen him for ten years, and this brother, who had been clever and delicate since childhood, had become more and more silent. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, maybe this is the price of growth.

Along the way, he had learned everything that happened in Diyun City from Gao Fei's mouth, and he finally understood how much danger his second sister and third brother were facing, and how much pressure they were carrying, and now that the situation was gradually clear, he began to wonder about the original source of this series of events - how did the Zhu family kill the first king and the crown prince on the birthday of the first king?

Every time he asked Gao Fei, Gao Fei just shook his head helplessly, because he was not present on the day of the incident, and he was able to escape by relying on the palace maid's secret message after the incident, and he had no time to investigate the truth of the matter.

What's more, now that it is a situation of winning and losing, it doesn't matter what the truth is.

Suddenly, he saw a group of people in the distance, walking in the direction of Lingqiu City. The outfit of this team was completely different from the city defense army that had come to defect before, and the number of people was only about 100 people, and what was even more peculiar was that there were several carriages in this team, pulling several large boxes.

"Could it be that the allies are transporting grain and grass?" Gao Yuan guessed in his heart, he turned his head to look at Gao Fei, and found that his brother's face was a little solemn.

"Third brother, do you know these people?" Gao Yuan asked.

Gao Fei shook his head and said, "These people are not from our Southern Chu Kingdom. ”

"Huh?"

"It's normal that you've been on the southern border for a long time and haven't seen them because they're from the east. Gao Fei's expression became a little solemn, "They are from Qingqiu Country. ”

"Qingqiu Country?" Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel surprised, "But the question is, what are they doing at this time?"

It didn't take long for these people to come to the city gate, and when he looked at these people carefully, Goofy's expression changed from solemn to surprised, because he saw a familiar face in the middle of this group of people.

Yun Luochen rode out of the array, raised his head and said loudly: "Qingqiu envoy Yun Luochen, ask to see the king of Southern Chu!"

Qingqiu Wangcheng, Yingling Marquis Mansion.

The Heavenly Tribulation has been closed for many days.

Since I saw Nangong Yue in Yuqiong Palace that day, it has been more than ten consecutive days, and the gate of Yingling Marquis Mansion has been closed.

Two days ago, the monarch Nangong Yu had officially ordered that the princess Nangong Yue would be promised to the monarch of Southern Chu Gao Fei, and Yun Luochen would be appointed as a peace envoy to lead the delegation to the Southern Chu State to seek relatives.

As a result, there was a lot of noise before, and the matter of whether to make peace with the Southern Chu State was finally settled, whether for or against, all the voices were quiet, not only no one mentioned it in the court, but even among the people, there was almost no news circulating.

The princess and relatives of a country, such a major event, but there is almost no movement among the people, this is a very abnormal thing in itself, but no one knows why. Even Ying Tianjiao, who was originally most concerned about this matter, was sitting at home at this time, doing other things as if nothing had happened.

He's forging an arrow.

It is a jet-black arrow, made of the purest extraterrestrial iron in the world, indestructible, and can pierce through the hardest and thickest shield in the world.

As this arrow gradually took shape, Ying Tianjiao could vaguely feel a strange energy escaping from the arrow, as if a life was slowly waking up.

It is worthy of being a divine product created by the Heavenly Iron......

He believed that once this Dark Iron Divine Arrow was successfully forged, it would definitely become a unique divine weapon

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, keen on weapon collection, and building weapons is also one of his hobbies, Yingling Marquis Mansion has dozens of weapon forging masters from all over the world, they have created countless swords, guns, swords and halberds for the house, each of which is a unique weapon in the world.

But there was no one who forged the bow and arrow, because they knew that the best bow in this wilderness was in this mansion.

The most precious in the Ying Ling Hou Mansion is the family heirloom treasure - the snow carving bow, no one knows its origin, a hundred years ago when the Ying family rose in Qingqiu, the snow sculpture bow has been famous all over the world, because only the head of the Ying family at that time had the strength to pull this magic bow.

Later, the head of the Ying family, who was born with divine power, died, and since then, this divine bow has been hanging in this mansion, and no one cares about it anymore.

Although it is an ancestral treasure, it is useless, and this snow sculpture bow does not know whether it is the glory or sorrow of the Ying family.

However, what people don't know is that after waiting silently for more than a hundred years, this divine bow has finally waited for its new owner.

That night, the dejected Ying Tianqi returned home from the Yuqiong Palace, and was rejected by the woman he loved, and he felt unprecedented despair, and along with despair, there was also bitter resentment in his heart.

As much as he loved Nangong Yue, he hated Gao Fei so much that the knuckles of his clenched fists were already white, and his clenched teeth were oozing blood.

He looked at the family heirloom hanging high in the hall, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

He carefully took off the bow, and Nangong Yue's smile couldn't help but appear in his mind again.

He remembered that last winter, when she had finally promised him to be with him, she snuggled up in his arms and said, "I want to see the snow." ”

However, Qingqiu, which is located in the southern country, has a hot and humid climate, and there is no snow all year round.

He climbed Qingqiu Mountain overnight, filled a box full of snow on the top of the mountain with a box inlaid with cold frost jade, and then mobilized his internal force to forcibly gather part of the cold air on the top of the mountain around the box, and fixed the temperature in the box at the freezing point.

He took this box of snow down the mountain like this, no one could use his internal force to such a realm, but as the temperature under the mountain came and went, his internal force was consumed faster and faster.

When he finally brought the box to Nangong Yue, he had almost exhausted his internal strength, and his face was bloodless. The moment she opened the box, Nangong Yue saw this crystal clear snow, her face was filled with incredible surprise, she cheered: "It's really snow, it's really snow, how did you do it?

He looked at her smile and suddenly felt warm in his heart, feeling that it was all worth it.

After returning home that day, he fell seriously ill because of internal overdraft. Nangong Yue didn't come to see him, and I heard that it was the ladies of various prefectures who admired her piano skills and invited her to teach.

He didn't care, after all, after he recovered from his illness, he found that his internal strength had improved a lot.

However, when he thought of these things now, he couldn't help but cry in his eyes.

The man didn't flick when he had tears, he quickly wiped away his tears, and also turned the sadness in his heart into raging anger, all of this is to blame for that Nan Chu's Gao Fei!

"I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!" he roared, suddenly taking down the family treasure that had been hanging from the wall for more than a hundred years, and pulling it hard in the direction of the Southern Chu Kingdom to the west.

This divine bow, which had been silent for a long time, was actually pulled away by this young master of the Ying family, who was immersed in grief and anger.

Southern Chu, Lingqiu City.

"So, are you really a descendant of the Yun family?" After listening to Yun Luochen's story about what happened in Qingqiu Kingdom, Gao Yuan sighed: "More than ten years ago, when my father brought you home, we were all young, and we had never heard of the tragedy of the Yun family, and I haven't seen my father mention it all these years, I didn't expect you to have such a special life experience." ”

Yun Luochen deliberately concealed Nangong Yu's statement about Gao Qiang's assassination of Yun Qing, because that matter had not yet been revealed, Gao Fei and Gao Yuan were still his brother-in-law after all, and he was reluctant to tell him about it, so as not to dislike each other.

But after all, Gao Fei had read the record of the fall of the Yun family in the Scripture Pavilion, and he also remembered how Qingqiu Kingdom described this matter in China, but he didn't know if Yun Luochen had read the record of this paragraph when he was in the Scripture Pavilion with him.

So he said tentatively: "Have you found out about the murderer who killed the head of the Yun family?"

When Yun Luochen heard this, he didn't react in particular, just shook his head: "Not yet, this is what I will do later." ”

Gao Yuan nodded: "Also, how can you not repay the revenge of killing your father and destroying the clan, you must find out about this matter!"

As soon as the words fell, he remembered someone again, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the deputy general of the coalition who fought with us in Yunding City before, is called Yun Tianshen, isn't he from Qingqiu Country, he is also surnamed Yun, could it be a person from the Yun family back then?"

Yun Luochen's eyes lit up.

Gao Fei said to Yun Luochen: "He is the city lord of Luoyun City, he should go back now, you can visit him when you have time." ”

Yun Luochen saluted: "Thank you two brothers." ”

Gao Fei smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be so polite, although you are now from Qingqiu Country, we have been brothers for so many years, and we don't need to be so angry." ”

Yun Luochen nodded: "What the third brother said is true. ”

"Let's get down to business, are you here as an envoy this time?"

Yun Luochen said bluntly: "It's for the sake of harmony." ”

Goofy frowned.

"Heqin?" Gao Yuan was also very surprised, pointed at Gao Fei, and asked, "Qingqiu Kingdom wants to find him and Qin?"

Yun Luochen nodded.

"With whom?" Gao Yuan asked again.

"Princess of Qingqiu Kingdom, Nangong Yue. ”

"Why?" Gao Yuan was even more inexplicable, "You don't have to rush to marry your daughter at this time, I haven't seen any movement from him before, why do you want to push his daughter into the war as soon as the battle starts?"

He glanced at Gao Fei and asked, "Could it be that King Qingqiu has a request for you?"

Goofy shook his head solemnly, his face becoming more and more ugly, "He's not asking us, he's telling us that we have something to ask him." ”

Gao Yuan was a little puzzled, "Why do we ask him?"

"Now only we are fighting against the Zhu family, if they join the battle, which side they help, the balance of victory will naturally be tilted towards whichever side. ”

"So, he's trying to force us into an alliance with them?" Gao Yuan seemed to understand a little.

"But there are conditions for the alliance. Goofy said, glancing at the clouds.

"What conditions, cut the land, pay tribute?" Gao Yuan also watched the clouds fall into the dust.

Yun Luochen spread his hands and said, "I don't know, the king didn't say it." ”

"Nangong Yu is an old fox, if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that there are no conditions. "Maybe it's not time yet, maybe it's because he can't say what he wants." ”

Gao Yuan finally understood that things were not so simple, he frowned, and said: "But we don't seem to have a way to refuse, if we refuse, Qingqiu Kingdom is only afraid that we will send troops to help Zhu Ning, and when the time comes, we will be very passive when we fight at both ends." ”

Hearing this, Yun Luochen finally understood that what he brought to Gao Fei was not a good thing, but a hot potato, he felt very ashamed, but he didn't know what to say.

"Then what if we accept it?" Gao Yuan asked, "Third brother, marry a princess, we will be a family with them, at least they have to help us fight Zhu Ning." ”

Who knew that Gao Fei, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face, he suddenly stood up and brushed his sleeves away, leaving behind a sentence before leaving: "Lone is the king of a country, no one should try to force Lone to submit! If he dares to use troops against us, let them come!"
