Chapter 36 Ji Heng
The next morning, the sky was bright.
It's early summer, and even in the border areas, it's starting to feel the heat.
A group of four led the horse into Suzaku City.
The first man was in his early forties, with gray hair, and sat straight on horseback.
Behind him, there were three people in parallel with each other, all wearing a black cloak, and the hot wind blew through the corner of the cloak, revealing a white armor embroidered with a cirrus cloud pattern inside.
Ji Heng's face was calm, looking around at the lively scene of the morning market in the city, he couldn't help but sigh softly, the national strength of the Great Xia Dynasty in the Southern Regions has risen a bit fast recently.
Even in the border land and the border city, this scene has a prosperous state.
In terms of the rule of the people alone, the Beihai Kingdom, which has been suppressed by the Qin Dynasty in the Northern Regions for many years and cannot raise its head, is really not as good as too much.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that the two domains are fighting each other, and the Qin Dynasty, which has always established itself in the five regions by force, has been pressed by the Jiang clan of Daxia in the Southern Regions.
"Lord, not far ahead is the Suzaku City Overseer's Mansion. ”
Li Dian lifted his cloak, his long red hair danced in the wind, he took the reins of the horse and stepped forward slightly, and said to Ji Heng respectfully.
"Hmmm......"
Nodding, Ji Heng didn't say anything more, turned over and dismounted, and led the horse on foot.
Because of Shiso's relationship, he felt guilty.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the little girl in the family was born with a congenital injury and the county lord who forgot his worries and couldn't be cured, Ji Hengshi would not be willing to face it.
He didn't know how he would answer when the somewhat surprisingly high-status county lord in the Kingdom of Guixu asked where Zisu went.
He remembered that when he took Shisu away from the Kingdom of Ruins, the incomparably powerful county lord of Forget Worry carried a sword to see the two off.
"The surname is Ji, I am such a sister, I will hand it over to you now, if I let me know that she has suffered a little grievance in the future, even if it is the end of the cape, I will ask your Ji clan to pay with their lives. ”
Ji Heng smiled bitterly, remembering what the county lord had said to him.
How did you say yes at that time?
patted his chest and promised her that he would hold the shiso in the palm of his hand and treat it as a treasure.
It's just that now, the little woman who was able to pull his heartbeat when she smiled at the beginning has long since turned into loess.
Originally, that year, he should have fulfilled the vow made by the two of them, and he would be born with the same cave and die with him, and he would go with Zisu.
That little woman, who is so timid and easy to get lost, can follow all the way on the Huangquan Road, and she will not worry that she will be afraid, praying that if there is really an afterlife, she will be married again.
It's just that when the baby's cry sounded, it shook him, who was already determined to live and die.
It is said that children are the continuation of their parents' lives, so the little moon is the continuation of the life of perilla.
Ji Heng remembered that when he picked up the kitten-like little moon with red eyes, the child immediately stopped crying and giggled.
Although he was just born, he was like a little adult, reaching out his pink little hand to touch his cheek, as if he wanted to help his father wipe his tears.
Yes, Xiaoyue, she is still so young, she already has no mother, if there is no father, wouldn't it be pitiful to live alone in the world like that.
Heaven did not fulfill his wish, Ji Heng hugged the little moon and looked at her giggles, watching the heavenly punishment hurt into the bone and marrow, but there was nothing he could do.
can only look at it like that, Ji Xiaoyue cried and laughed in her arms, laughed and cried.
Tianwei cannot be violated.
But why didn't the damnation fall on him, but on his wife and on the little moon.
The male son of the Ji family is the eagle of the Beihai country, fluttering his wings and flying above the nine skies, and has always only shed blood and not tears.
On that day, he first lost his beloved wife, and then his young daughter was injured by the way of heaven.
Ji Heng, the emperor of the Cangming spear above the tens of thousands of people in the Beihai Kingdom, cried as helplessly as a child for the first time.
No matter how high a man is standing or how strong his cultivation is, he still needs a spiritual haven.
Before growing up, the sheltered bay was his parents.
Later, the little woman who was as bright as a hydrangea was his sheltered bay.
Now, Shiso is gone, and the little moon is his only sustenance.
I hope that one day I can watch my daughter grow up healthy and happy and safe, and then find a man who loves her to the bone, tolerates her, spoils her like a child, and marries.
Then, he will be able to relax and go down to find Shiso.
Since being with Shisu, he left Beihai Country angrily.
At that time, I thought that when I had a child with Shisu, I would take the child to my mother's knee with Shisu to admit my mistake.
Where is the reason for being a mother to really blame her child, the little granddaughter put the old man on his knees, and the old lady bent over.
But I didn't expect that it would be like this in the end.
In order to help Little Moon continue his life, he exhausted all the resources he had hidden all his life, along with the resources available in the family.
In the end, it attracted the dissatisfaction of the clan elders, and he had to be stubborn as he resigned as the clan lord, left a letter and left.
After wandering and wandering, he finally found his mother's seclusion.
But I didn't want to, I just wanted to ask my mother to help save Xiao Yue'er.
But in the end, it was his mother who did not hesitate to lose half of her life in order to help Xiaoyue continue her life, and together with Shouyuan, it was a big reduction.
Otherwise, as a peerless medical saint in the world, his mother was able to step into the realm of the god king more than ten years ago, and the five decays of heaven and man were not unexpected.
That day, he held the little moon and knelt outside his mother's seclusion in the grass house, from day to night.
Blood and flesh are connected, how can there be a reason not to be treated, the old man sighed softly and finally made a move.
It's just that the price is a bit huge.
A day later, although he was already old, he was still as glamorous as a thirty-year-old Xuanyuan Doctor Sage.
Cultivating like her, she has long been able to stay in her face and has a long life.
But on that day, the night turned white.
For Ji Xiaoyue, her only granddaughter, she instilled her own Shenhua into Xiaoyue's body with the secret forbidden technique of the clan, along with Xiuwei and Shouyuan.
But it was only in exchange for a seventeen-year longevity for Little Moon.
On that day, Ji Heng cried for the second time, holding the little moon and hugging his mother, who was as old as an old man all night, crying loudly.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears.
It's just not to the sad place.
As a man, he is supposed to guard four things.
Parents at home, wife and daughter in arms, land under their feet, brothers around them.
Undoubtedly, among these four things, no matter which one it is, it is a pain in Ji Heng's heart.
In the past, Beihai fought against the Qin Dynasty.
He was young and frivolous, as the vanguard of the former army, but he fell into the trap of the Qin army because of his will.
When the whole army was wiped out and died, as the father of the commander of the three armies, Ji Wu, the former head of the Beihai Ji clan, had no regrets and led the children of the Ji clan to save him.
exchanged the lives of himself and Ji Heng's two brothers, the seven thousand Ji family's sons, for his life.
That year, because of my own fault.
The Beihai Kingdom lost the commander of the three armies, so that at the time of the decisive battle, 400,000 soldiers were slaughtered by the seven generations of Wujun of the Qin Dynasty.
The land of a hundred lost cities, 700,000 miles of fertile fields.
Ji, the number one surname in Beihai Kingdom, fell into the top ten.
Until today, he is recuperating and recuperating, and has not returned to his peak glory.
After being disheartened, he left home to travel, and met his beloved wife in the country of Guixu.
But in the end, because of her persistent love, the little woman who smiled very warmly was condemned by heaven in order to give birth to the daughter of the two.
succeeded as the head of the Ji clan from his mother, but because of the injury caused by his beloved daughter, he did not fulfill the responsibility of the head of the clan for a day, leading the Ji clan to revive its past glory, making the Ji clan decline more and more in his hands.
In the end, even the mother who loves him the most in the world was affected by him.
The green silk turned gray overnight, Shou Yuan lost more than half, fell down from the realm of the half-step god king, and the Yuan Ying condensed, losing the opportunity to win the heavenly man.
In the first 20 years, he swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger with high spirits, and he was the leader of the younger generation in Beihai Middle School, and he also left a name on the Qianlong list.
In the next 20 years, he lost his father and brother at an early age, and his wife in middle age, and there was no black hair on his forehead when he was established.
Now, no matter what, I don't want anything to happen to the little moon in the family again.
If possible, he would rather trade his life now for Little Moon to be safe.
"Li Dian, do you think I'm a loser?"
Sighing softly and smiling self-deprecatingly, Ji Heng stopped and asked his subordinates who were slightly half a step behind him.
"Why does the Lord ask like this?" Li Dian was puzzled, staring at the back of the sky in front of him in surprise, and asked softly.
"In the past forty-two years, throughout my life, I have never done a few things right from the past to the present, my youth and recklessness ruined my family and clan, and even ruined my Beihai country's five-hundred-year great cause, and then it was because of me that my wife, mother and daughter were unable to live in peace, do you say that such a life is not a failure?"
Ji Heng stretched out his hand and stroked the red horse that had accompanied him for many miles, and his voice was low.
I received a letter from my mother yesterday night, and Xiao Yue'er has begun to gradually fall into a coma, which is a precursor to the imminent backlash of the Dao injury.
There is no time to delay, so no matter what happens today, I want to ask the county lord to be willing to get up and save Xiaoyue, even if it is at the cost of apologizing in front of the county lord who forgets worries.
"All I know is that if it weren't for the Lord, I would have died in Beihai Hellward ten years ago. Li Dian paused slightly, and said in an excited voice: "Therefore, no matter today or in the future, what the Lord asks me to do, even if it is to sacrifice my life immediately, Li Dian will not have anything to say." ”
Following silently behind the two, the two brothers of the Mo family, who had nothing to say all the way, also took off their cloaks at this moment, showed their faces, looked at Ji Heng's back with a solemn face, and struck their chests with their right hands to show their loyalty.
These three people are all Beihai death row prisoners who were rescued by Ji Heng from the Beihai Kingdom Netherworld Abyss death row ten years ago.
Ji Heng came to the three of him, and it can be said that he has the grace of recreation.
Beihai Netherworld death row, all of the people who can be imprisoned in it are the strongest of the five domains of the land of Kyushu.
This is also one of the reasons why the Beihai Kingdom was able to exist in the world independently of the Great Qin Dynasty in the Northern Regions.
The Netherworld Death Row in the Northern Regions, the Red Flame Pulp Prison in the Southern Regions, the Demon Lock Tower in the Western Regions, the Corpse King Hall in the Eastern Regions, and the Blood Sea Reincarnation Mausoleum in the Central Regions.
Each of the five regions of Kyushu has a peerless cage, guarding each clan, forming a force of its own, transcending the Five Regions Dynasty.
And the Beihai Kingdom only exists because the land of Kyushu is responsible for guarding the Netherworld Death Row in the Northern Regions.
The people in the country are all descendants of the major princes and clans after the failure of the Qin Dynasty Win clan to compete for the supremacy of the northern region, and the blood of the major princes and clans is not bad.
There are a total of nine layers of Netherworld Death Row, and the lowest layer of the death row prisoners in it are at least in the Innate Realm, and their cultivation is strengthened one by one.
It is even rumored that there is a secret realm below the ninth layer, in which the suppression of the murderer 10,000 years ago.
It's just that this news, I don't know if it's true or not.
Although they are death row prisoners in Beihai, they are not necessarily all traitors.
For example, Li Dian is a member of the Li clan of Longcheng of the Great Shang Dynasty of the Eastern Regions, and the ancestors once followed the first ancestor of the Shang Dynasty to fight in all directions, and awarded the title of flying general of Longcheng and inherited it hereditarily.
In his early years, because of his youth and vigor, he accidentally killed the heir of a big man in the Eastern Regions, and was condemned to Beihai Netherworld Death Row.
The same is true of the two brothers of the Mo family, who were originally descendants of the Momen among the hundred sons, but because they studied the forbidden art in the door privately, they were personally put on death row in Beihai by the contemporary Momen giants and beaten as prisoners.
Like Li Dian's three people, there are seven people, a total of ten people.
Since he set foot to find the trace of the county lord of the Ruins Country to save his daughter, Ji Heng realized that the power of one person is limited.
Therefore, for more than ten years, he has secretly rescued these followers who are still kind-hearted and not heinous, and who are silently serving by his side from the Beihai Netherworld death row.
After getting along for more than ten years, this relationship is not only like a master and servant, but also like a brother.
So when Li Dian said that he was willing to repay Ji Heng's kindness with his life, he didn't question it at all.
The Mo brothers are good at making birds and beasts, which are lifelike, and can survive in the world by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, which is the most suitable for collecting intelligence.
This time, it was the two Mo brothers' trap beasts who made meritorious contributions, and they were the first to discover the traces of the county lord of Forgotten Worries.
"Your lives are hard-won, you must cherish them, and one day you will say that you don't even want your life for anyone. Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Since you can reproduce the world, then give me a good life, you know!"
"Yes!" Li Dian nodded, but his tone was still firm: "Since I stepped out of death row, I, Li Dian, have said that from now on, I will swear to follow the Lord to the death, and this will not change at any time!"
"That's right!" the two brothers of the Mo family also nodded heavily and said in a deep voice.
"After today, if anything happens to me, the little girl in the family still hopes that your brothers will take care of one or two, don't remember not to avenge me. ”
Ji Heng sighed lightly, looked at the Suzaku City Overseer's Mansion that was not far in front of him, and then added: "The former is a request, and the latter is an order!"
With that, he took a step towards the Overseer's Palace.
This should come after all, and with his understanding of the temperament of the county lord who forgets his worries, he will probably save his daughter.
It's just that I don't know if I will be able to get out of this mansion alive after learning that I failed to take care of Zisu's girl.
