The smoke turned from thick to faint, until only a trace remained.

The strong smell of war still filled the air, the stench of corpses, the smell of blood, and the smell of all kinds.

Even the roars and howls that once happened here are still echoing in people's ears.

Murong Cheng and Cui Xian, one left and one right, followed Pei Zhen and walked through the battlefield.

There was not much joy on the faces of the three of them, and Murong Cheng said silently: "The Pei family and the Mu family have fled when they see that the situation is not good, it is said that they went to Bedjia City, and the person who is following them may be able to send back the news today." ”

Bao Shouyi in the south also fled, leaving his clan alone and fleeing to Libing Mountain with the guards, but who knew that he was blackened by his own guards on the way and died a miserable death. ”

Pei Zhen looked at Murong Cheng, "I want to ask you a question." ”

Murong Cheng solemnly said with his hand: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

"This time to integrate Youyun Prefecture, almost none of my original soldiers and horses have made much contribution, and you rely on those soldiers and horses under your command to not only easily sweep away these three Xiaoyue, but also stop the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Liu family who intend to rob by fire in the Heishui River. With this strength, why did you keep letting the situation go before?"

Murong Cheng smiled, "Your Highness actually already has the answer in your heart, right?"

Pei Zhen nodded, "But I'd like to hear your answer." ”

Murong Cheng sighed, "Youyun Prefecture is not very wide among the thirteen A-shaped states in the Northern Abyss, and it can even be said that it is very small, but it is very rich, and it is easy to rank in the top five. What does this mean? It means that anyone who has completely owned Youyun Prefecture will not be satisfied with the territory in their hands, and will be like the Liu family in Jinning, waiting for an opportunity to expand. ”

"So, I need to hide it, I need to tell everyone that I, Murong Cheng, don't have the ability or the heart, and it's already very difficult to hold most of the territory in Youyun Prefecture. ”

Pei Zhen said calmly: "Then why are you willing to completely expose your huge strength this time?"

"Because of Your Highness. Murong Cheng said respectfully.

"Hey!" Pei Zhen wiped his face, "So, you still want to persuade me to go back and fight for that position?"

If it weren't for the greater possibility, why would Murong Cheng need to change his years of forbearance and help him?

"That should have been His Highness. Murong Cheng was a little indignant in his words, of course this was a disguise, he and Pei Zhen both knew the disguise, but as a courtier, he needed these outgoing gestures.

Cui Xian also spoke: "This is also Miss's wish all along. ”

Pei Zhen looked at the tattered clothes on the ground, broken knives and arrows, and was silent.

Not far away, a black carriage seemed to be approaching slowly and extremely quickly.

-------------------------------

"Can you stop worrying about these things first, let's think about what to do with this Holy Blood Inheritance!"

In the shrine on the top of Konoha Mountain, Pingyasu is angry.

The titular leader of the three envoys of Konoha glanced at him expressionlessly, "

Do you mean you still blame us?"

Pingkang said helplessly: "Then you can cure my crimes, how could I have calculated that the Holy Son was so reckless, and without our order, he used a puppet order to try to kill King Jing, so that all our plans failed." ”

Yiyang was puzzled: "The Holy Son has always been cautious in his duty, why did he act so rebellious?"

Ping Kang snorted, "Who knows! Maybe he secretly took refuge with a certain prince, and seeing that King Jing was in Youyun Prefecture, he wanted to do it in advance!"

Zhao Mu Envoy glanced at Ping Kang Envoy deeply, and said leisurely: "We, the people of Konoha Mountain, only respect the Yuan Emperor, and must not be involved in the struggle for secular power, this is an iron law, who dares to violate it?"

"So, isn't the Holy Son a bad luck yet!" "Hey, I said, you seem to have something in your words, as one of the three envoys of Konoha, would I do that kind of stupid thing? ”

Zhao Mu made some doubts in his heart, the entanglement between this Pingkang envoy and the second prince is ironclad evidence, he and His Majesty both know, but it is not an opportunity to punish crimes, so he can't bear it, but now he dares to make this poisonous oath, can he really change sex?

The Yiyang envoy sighed, "Let's just tell me, what should you be serious, but now that the puppet order has been lost, how can we explain to Your Majesty? The Holy Son and the Holy Maiden have not yet given birth to blood, how should the Holy Blood Inheritance be operated? This is the big thing." ”

Ping Kang patted his thigh, "Go around and around, isn't this coming back again?" I just said to discuss the big things first!"

"This time, the bloodline is in the Holy Son, but now that the Holy Son is dead, we have no other way but to activate the shadow. Zhao Mu said in a deep voice.

"Indeed, otherwise the Holy Blood Inheritance would have been severed. ”

"Without further ado, I suggest that the shadow be turned into a normal person at once and that the saint be married. ”

The Yiyang envoy and the peace health envoy also immediately chimed in.

"There's no hurry. Zhao Mu made a trace of determination grow on the old man's face, "Now that the Holy Son has fallen, I propose to abolish this Holy Maiden as well, and choose a new Holy Maiden, so that she and the Shadow can continue the Holy Blood Inheritance together." ”

"I'm against it!" Ping Kang was the first to jump out, "In this way, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter are all hastily selected, and the cultivation realm is completely lost, I am afraid that it will damage the nobility of the Holy Blood and is not conducive to the subsequent inheritance." ”

The Yiyang envoy was also puzzled: "This may be a little inappropriate, this shadow is also a man, just like a saint, and does not meet the conditions for the abolition of the saint." What's more, for a while, where do we find a new saint, but also to observe her mental nature and cultivate her identification with the mission of Konoha Mountain. ”

Zhao Mu sighed, "But the holy woman is also a human being, and she also has her own feelings, she has already identified Huangfu Ye after all these years, and now she wants to let her combine with the rest of the strange men, is this appropriate?"

"As my Holy Maiden of Konoha Mountain, don't I have any consciousness at all? I don't even understand the difference between big and small self? The overall situation is important, how can I dedicate it? I can save the Holy Blood Inheritance of Konoha Mountain, she should feel proud!"

One made by Pingkang

The words were impassioned, so that the Yiyang envoy couldn't help but nod in agreement, after all, in the heart of the simple Yiyang envoy, the interests of Konoha Mountain were high, above everything, and even really higher than his life.

Zhao Mu made his heart angry, this righteous yang envoy has always been simple and easy to deceive, and every time he is used by Pingkang envoy without knowing it, it is really sad!

Originally, Ping Kang made such a big mistake, and Zhao Mu could have forced him to comply, but now he can't.

He sighed, "In that case, this matter will be discussed later." His Majesty has died. ”

Ping Kang leaned back consciously, Hmph, I don't know what your old man is planning? I want to take this opportunity to free your precious apprentice, think beautifully!

That gentleman is insignificant, dare to give me a face, I let her know what regret is!

Wait, what did the old man just say?

Your Majesty?

Pingkang stood up abruptly in shock, with an irrepressible ease and joy on his face.

He never worried about what would happen to him inside Konoha Mountain, but he was worried about His Majesty's side, after all, this matter was planned by His Majesty with all his heart, and if His Majesty took all the responsibility on his head, I am afraid that his good days as a peacekeeper would come to an end.

Now he suddenly heard the news that His Majesty had died, how unhappy he was!

It was only soon that he realized that something was wrong, especially the way Yiyang looked at him.

He quickly changed to a sad color, "Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, why did you suddenly die?"

Changing the topic doesn't care about whether it's blunt or not, only whether the topic can attract attention, and it's clear that Ping Kang has succeeded again.

The Yiyang envoy was also eagerly waiting for Zhao Mu's answer as eagerly as he was.

Zhao Mu said slowly: "According to our channels, it is said that Hua Li and Thief Li of the Eight Horses assassinated him. But now no one from the outside world acknowledges it. ”

"Eight Horses?" Yiyang frowned, "You said that the wild goose was frightened, and I still believe that all the eight horses that can fight are dead, and there are only a few people left who know their fate to assassinate His Majesty?

Pingkang rubbed his chin and began to think about the joints.

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

Konoha Mountain, all year round, there are boundless falling trees all the time, it is said that it is only because the Taizu who founded the Xue family dynasty likes to watch the falling leaves.

This is also one of the wonders of the North Abyss, but very few can be appreciated.

That night, Jun Miao was dressed in white and stood on the top of Konoha Mountain.

Scattered leaves found a home in her body, perched on the top of her head, on her shoulders, and on her heart.

In my heart, what is floating is my life experience.

Zhao Mu Envoy quietly appeared and walked to her side, "Have you heard of Si Miaomiao?"

Jun Miao shook her head slowly, although the name was very similar to herself, she really hadn't heard of it.

"She used to be the saint of Konoha Mountain, just like you......"

In the sound of falling leaves, Zhao Mu's low and gloomy voice flowed slowly, telling the legendary life of Si Miaomiao who was deliberately buried.

"The tracking charms planted on the bodies of the previous saints can only be unlocked by the three of Konoha San's envoys, and none of them can be unlocked. But Si Miaomiao is real

There is no trace of it. It is rumored that she has mastered a mental method that can decipher this tracking charm, and she also possesses the three treasures of the former Konoha Mountain. ”

"You have seven days, whether you live for yourself once, or gamble on luck, if you become the second Si Miaomiao, it is your ability and blessing, and if you are caught, it is also your fate. ”

"I don't know where she's hiding, only a legendary name, Yanqiu. ”

"Why?" Jun Miao looked at the master who had taught him to practice for many years, and two lines of tears were blown down by the wind.

"Do you know the shadows?"

Jun Miao shook her head, and crystal tears were scattered in all directions.

"In order to ensure that there are no accidents in the inheritance of the holy blood, every holy son or saint who inherits the bloodline of the previous generation will quietly regenerate the next one after giving birth to a successor, and stay in the Konoha Mountain, incognito. Once there is an accident, such as the accidental death of Huang Fu Ye, the shadow will go to the front of the stage and continue the bloodline. But that is a rare case, more often than not, in order to ensure the nobility of the Holy Blood, after the successor gives birth to the bloodline, the previous shadow will be quietly executed, silently coming and going. ”

Jun Miao couldn't help but shudder, behind Zhao Mu's calm tone, there were many cruel stories.

She didn't even think about what she was going to face.

However, the envoy reminded her, "Unfortunately, this shadow is also a man, and from this day onwards, he will be corrected, and according to custom, you will be his future wife, and you will be united with him to inherit the Holy Blood." ”

Jun Miaomiao finally understood Zhao Mu's good intentions, she fell to her knees on the ground, and shouted out a sentence full of affection Master.

"Don't call me Master, from now on, you and I will break off our righteousness, and it is best to forget about each other. ”

When the black-clothed Zhaomu envoy flew towards the higher shrine, he fell into the world below the mountain in white.

That night, Zhao Mu ordered that due to the death of Emperor Yuan, in order to avoid Konoha Mountain being involved in turmoil, the mountain was closed for seven days, and no one was allowed to leave the mountain, and after the situation was clear, he would pledge allegiance to the new emperor.

-----------------------------

When the city of immortality woke up in another night, the inhabitants of the city were shocked to find that the gates of the city had been tightly closed on all sides.

The defenders in shifts climbed the city wall, and couldn't help but gasp, and the dense camp tents seemed to fall from the sky, and they were densely covered in front of them overnight.

The army of the sand sea is in the north, the men and horses of Libing Mountain are in the south, and the camp tent of the remnants of the army of the southern expedition stretches for miles from outside the west gate.

Only the east side, still vacant, seems to be waiting for someone to come.

At the end of the grassland in the east, two fast horses galloped, the man was dressed in a green shirt and looked handsome and handsome, and the woman was dressed in white and was heroic.

When he could already look at the gate of Immortal City from afar, the man suddenly reined in his horse and looked vigilantly at the mountain bag on the side.
