Chapter 36: Awakening
Within a few days, the news that Xia Emperor Xia Xun had been assassinated in the palace spread all over Wangmai. Although Xia Guo wanted to suppress the truth of this matter and used death as an excuse, but for some reason, the news of the assassination spread far and wide, and soon the whole Wangmai knew about it.
The matter spread all over the world, and Xia Guo simply stopped hiding it, and then announced that there were two assassins, one with two swords and one with a swordsman.
As soon as this news arrived in the Snow Country, those who participated in the decisive battle of Luoshui and those who knew the details of the battle in the imperial court basically thought that Yue Zhe and Jiang Zhongqing, who disappeared after the war, were responsible. However, Jiang Zhongqing, who didn't know where at this time, didn't know about it, and Xue Guo didn't feel the need to tell Xia Guo this information.
It's just that this makes another person miserable.
"What a pit daddy!
As soon as the news arrived, such a loud roar came from the Ye Mansion.
Yueyun City was almost certain to be Yue Zhe at this time, he knew his son's temperament, and he also knew that the collaborator had a share of Emperor Xia, but his son's reputation was not rising, and the "Dragon and Phoenix Knife" Yueyun City was full of fame.
Although Meng Huaicheng comforted Yue Yun Cheng and said that there must be many people in the Xia Army's army who had also seen Yue Zhe's superb martial arts and the use of double swords, he might not necessarily suspect Yue Yun Cheng. But Yue Yuncheng was even more sad and indignant when he heard this: "Is there a big difference between doubting Yue Zhe and doubting me?!If you can't find him, don't you look for me?!"
So, not an hour after the news came, Yueyun City quietly left Shunxing City with his wife, and he didn't know where to go.
In a city near the capital of the Xia Kingdom, Yue Zhe slowly put down the teacup in his hand, with a very subtle expression on his face, and thought to himself: "It's easy to spread Xia Xun's death from assassination, but I didn't expect that the group of wastes in the palace would release our characteristics, so wouldn't I not only pit Jiang Zhongqing, but also my father......?
Yes, it was Yue Zhe who released the news of the assassination. It's just that he hid his double knives after that, and it took two days to react leisurely, and he seemed to have cheated his father......
"That's it. I don't believe they can catch my father, Jiang Zhongqing...... I don't know him well, but I don't think it's much to look at that kid's kung fu......" Then, Yue Zhe also left the city without saying a word, humming a little song for a few days, and then went to an unknown remote village in Wangmai to prepare for seclusion.
However, when he settled down......
"Damn, I forgot that Lao Tzu's knife is still buried under the tree outside the city!"
After being annoyed, Yue Zhe also thought that since he started practicing knives, even if he ate and slept, he never let the double knives leave him, and now he didn't find out that he didn't have a knife on his body.
Thinking of this, Yue Zhe smiled: "Ha, maybe after these things are done, I don't want to go out of the knife anymore." Before officially stepping into the rivers and lakes, he has already retired, so he asked which one else in the world?"
The country cannot be without a king for a day, the Xia Emperor died, and the three princes of the Xia Kingdom symbolically mourned a few times and then began their own operations.
Xia Xun was still in the prime of life at this time, according to his meaning, I can live for another five hundred years, and I am not in a hurry to determine the prince or something.
And the identities of these three princes also have their own to say, the eldest prince Xia Yunge and the second prince Xia Wuyan are all concubines, and only the youngest prince Xia Mingqian is a concubine. It is said that when the royal prince was established, he should be the youngest and most favored prince, Xia Mingqian, as the prince, but the two princes who came out of the palace had already been involved in politics, and Xia Xun really hadn't made up his mind who to appoint.
And he also has the intention of first seeing how these three people can fight, and then making a reserve according to the results. The eldest prince and the second prince are older and have a political foothold, but the younger prince has the innate advantage of being a descendant and the emperor's favor.
That's it, Xia Guo now, there is no prince.
However, when Xia Mingqian, the little prince, wanted to show his skills, he found that what kind of concubine and the emperor's favor were all nonsense, his father was dead, and he still had a fart.
So, just when the two elder brothers were planning their own actions, Xia Mingqian had already left Starlight City with his cronies, and even left Xia Kingdom.
Unable to find this youngest brother, Xia Yunge suddenly felt that he could justifiably ascend the throne, and convened the ministers on the spot to discuss the accession to the throne. Although some people asked whether it was in a hurry, they were also pushed back by Xia Yunge's sentence "Do you want me to have no emperor in Xia Kingdom?
And in this case, Xia Wuyan was anxious in his eyes, but morally speaking, it was indeed such a truth, above the lobby, Xia Wuyan had no reason to refute, he could only watch Xia Yunge show off his might to himself, and walked away in anger.
However, in order to quickly ascend the throne, Xia Yunge forgot a very important point.
Xia Wuqi's mother is Duan Yaoqi's daughter.
At this time, although Duan Yaoqi was loyal to the Xia royal family, there was absolutely no reason not to help his grandson when he did not have a direct prince.
It's just that Xia Wuyan left the table early to go to his grandfather's house to discuss countermeasures, and just as Duan Yaoqi was scheduled to publicly support Xia Wuyan in the court the next day, the result above the court came.
Tomorrow is an auspicious day, and Xia Yunge ascends the throne.
Before, Xia Xun didn't want Duan Yaoqi to have too much military power in his hands, so Duan Yaoqi, as the generalissimo of a country's soldiers and horses, did not have the military power of the resident army of Starlight City, even if it was outside, it was very limited.
However, although Duan Yaoqi did not have the military power of Starlight City, the military power he held tightly in his hands could also command the armies of the counties and counties in one-third of the territory of the Xia Kingdom.
On the day Xia Yunge ascended the throne, Xia Wuyan disappeared, and Xia Yunge did not deliberately look for him, and successfully completed the enthronement ceremony and became a new generation of Xia Huang, called "Chengtian".
However, just seven days after Xia Yunge ascended the throne, the seven counties and 100 counties in the eastern part of the Xia Kingdom rose up to stand on their own, and the emperor Xia Wuyan was called "Tenglong".
As a result, the Xia Kingdom was in turmoil, and the revenge for the former emperor, which should have been the first priority, was also left behind by the two emperors, and they were swords-rattling.
And Zi Ying heard about the major changes in the Xia Kingdom, and she also began to watch the fire from the other side, thinking about whether to attack the Xia Kingdom while the dog ate the dog. It's just that when I looked back and sighed deeply, the master, brother, and brother died, except for Feng Jinghe, who had a single style, there were many generals in the Snow Country, but there was no one general to command the army.
......
In the north of the hot land, Tengyue Pass.
To the north of Tengyue Pass is the road to Wangmai when the red mist appears. At this time, the army of the Yan clan slowly walked back, and their morale was very low.
Speaking of which, the timing of this expedition was very embarrassing for the Yan clan. The Yan clan is at a stage of talent fault at this time. The middle-aged generation has inherited the great family business of their ancestors and cannot get out, and the younger generation is still inexperienced and has no experience in big wars.
But there was no way, the Yan clan still sent out the leaders of the younger generation.
The three Lin brothers, Feng Xiaoyang, Wan Zheng.
However, none of the five returned alive.
Wan Zheng was killed by a surprise attack in the first battle against the Snow Shadow King. Lin Yuluo died in the hands of Feng Jing, Feng Xiaoyang was killed by Feng Shuchen with an arrow in the decisive battle, and the two brothers Lin Yukong and Lin Yufei both died at the hands of Ye Pei. And of these five people, only Lin Yufei can get a whole corpse back.
The death of these five people in battle was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Yan clan, the Lin clan, the Feng clan, and the Wan clan. Especially in the Wan clan, as soon as Wan Zheng died, there was no direct male in this generation.
While the three major tribes were grief-stricken, they heard another news brought back by the army, Ye Pei fell into the Demon Gate Valley with Lin Yufei after killing Lin Yufei, but did not appear at Tengyue Pass with the Yan Clan's troops.
Almost at the same time, the three major tribes all issued the same order in their own territories, searching for Ye Pei throughout the territory, striving to capture him alive, or kill him.
However, the embarrassing thing is that Ye Pei is not in the territory of any of the three major tribes at this time.
At the same time that the Yan troops appeared at Tengyue Pass, in Longjiang Mountain in the eastern part of the Yan Land, Ye Pei fell from mid-air spitting blood, lying on the grass, unconscious.
In the most mysterious place of the Yan Clan, there was a young man in a black robe, with a beautiful face, fifteen or sixteen years old, who was teasing a colorful tiger.
"Hah!" the boy suddenly laughed and stood up, startling the tiger.
"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" the young man laughed.
"You can pull it down. The tiger next to him suddenly spoke, "It's only been a little over a year since we came to Yandi with you." ”
Ni Manxiu put down his hand and said with a smile: "Just you talk a lot! Oh, the chosen one, I can be regarded as waiting for this person, but ......"
The tiger listened to the silence and said angrily: "You are really annoying to this habit. ”
Ni Manxiu laughed: "But ah, this so-called Chosen Son is tantamount to a Son of Heaven's Destiny in my opinion. Let's go, come with me and see him!"
......
When Ye Pei regained consciousness, he didn't open his eyes immediately, but first carefully felt his physical condition, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"External injuries are nothing, but internal injuries ......"
Physically, he didn't have any fatal injuries, some were only occasionally rubbed by blades in the war, and some skin injuries, but now the internal force of the dantian in his body is only so negligible as well.
"Wait......" Ye Pei thought of another question, "Am I in the Burning Land?"
Thinking of this, Ye Pei hurriedly opened her eyes, and at the same time, the seriously injured body had no effect on the fighting spirit, and the vicious and murderous aura that had not faded from the battlefield poured out, enveloping this empty hut.
Seeing this scene, Ye Pei sighed: "Ah...... Folk houses, I thought I was captured by the Yan Clan. Am I looking at the pulse or in the flames?"
While thinking about it, Ye Pei also tried her best to control the anger and killing intent in her heart, not wanting to suddenly hear a sound of broken porcelain outside the door.
Then Ye Pei had become as peaceful as possible, and the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and a girl who looked like a sinking fish and a goose walked in.
"You're awake. ”
Ye Pei said: "Thank you, girl, for saving me...... Hey......"
As she spoke, Ye Pei wanted to lift the quilt and get up from the bed, but found that her body was extremely tired and had no strength to support her to sit up.
"Hey, don't move. The girl hurriedly ran over to straighten Ye Pei's crooked body that she couldn't get up, and then covered him with a quilt and said: "Since I rescued you, you have been in a coma for almost four days, and I can't feed you during this time, I can only feed you some milk, but unfortunately I walked to the door just now and I was startled for some reason, and I dropped the bowl......"
Ye Pei knew that it was her murderous aura just now that scared this girl, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I ......"
I didn't want Ye Pei to apologize, but before the words of explanation could be spoken, she was interrupted by this girl with a smile.
"Haha, what are you sorry for, shouldn't you say thank you?"
After a pause, the girl looked at Ye Pei and said, "Hmm...... Hello, my name is Zi Qingrong. ”
