Chapter Seventy-Three: Tonight and Night

Three purple fireworks shot into the sky from three different directions, smashing three brilliant colors at the same time, and a loud bang resounded in the sky. The three fireworks are like three lotus flowers, blooming in the sky at the same time, competing for beauty, and each does not admit defeat.

Just after the three fireworks exploded, the four gates of Chang'an City, east, west, north and south were blazing at the same time, and half of the sky was dyed red. For a time, the shouts and killings in and outside the city resounded, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a rolling river, and the momentum was huge.

Chang'an City instantly fell into chaos, this chaos is Chang'an City has not been seen for hundreds of years, the last time this kind of thing happened, or the founding emperor of Great Xia Shi Di led a large army to attack Chang'an, forcing the former emperor to abdicate. At that time, the last commander of the forbidden army of the previous dynasty, Meng Fang, swore not to surrender, and led 900 people to fight with the first emperor, and in the end he was the only one left, he knelt in front of the Daqing Palace, and killed himself in front of the magnificent hall.

Hundreds of years have passed, and Chang'an is just like its name - long-term peace and stability, and has never ignited a beacon fire. However, this city, which has been stable for hundreds of years, ignited the flames of war tonight, and the officials and people in the city have long lost the courage to face the crisis.

The people who have lived in this comfortable nest for hundreds of years have forgotten that this city will still burn with beacon smoke, and they have also forgotten that this place called Chang'an will raise up soldiers, like a herd of sheep surrounded by hungry wolves.

Born in peace, you will die in sorrow!

In front of the Xuanwu Gate, Xia Lang held the imperial sword Xuanyuan Xia Yu, a bright yellow dragon robe hunting under the puff of the night wind, and the thirty-six shadow guards behind him were like thirty-six swords out of the sheath, murderous, but if you look closely, they are as peaceful as water, not revealing a trace of vitality, and you can't even feel your breath.

Under the Xuanwu Gate, the generals of the ten directions wore various colors of armor, and behind each of them was an army of three thousand clear banners and majestic majesty, and the ten-colored flags were like a rainbow outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Xia Lang raised Xuanyuan Xia Yu obliquely, his eyes fell on the fire-filled Chang'an City, his face was a little cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Chaotic army, no mercy!"

"Yes!"

The army of 30,000 was like a lion escaping from its cage, roaring like thunder, and at the same time as the sound was raised, the army of 30,000 poured out like a torrent. The tacit understanding of the 30,000 army is the same, even the sound of horses' hooves is the same, and there is no noise.

Someone shouted from the Xuanping Gate in the east to neigh, and twelve carts rushed towards the city gate like a swift wind, and the fire flickered on the city gate, and in the firelight, a group of masters wearing white soft armor cut down the guards on the city tower, opened the city gate and let the twelve carriages out.

These twelve carriages are the same in terms of the color of the horses and the style of the canopy, and no matter how you look at them, they look like they are carved out of a mold. As soon as the carriages left the city gate, three generals with big knives chased after them, and a general in a red robe shouted to the back: "Send a message to the emperor, Xia Xuehan escaped from Xuanping Gate, ask him to send an army to chase after him!"

The red-robed general chased out, the nine thousand army behind him was mighty, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, this Chinese New Year's Eve night was destined to be peaceful, and a new world would definitely be opened up at the beginning of the new year.

The three generals led people to chase out of the Xuanping Gate, and by the light of the fire, they could vaguely see that there were twelve carriages escaping on the official road outside Chang'an City, and the red-robed general greeted him, added a whip to the horse, and chased after him.

The twelve carriages were not in a hurry, nor did they speed up, and the driver of one of the carriages lifted the reins, and the horses neighed, and turned into a fork in the road.

The red-robed general frowned, pointed at the whip, and let a green-robed general beside him chase after him. The carriage escaped on a rough path, and the road became narrower and narrower, and many thorns popped out from time to time on both sides, and the green-robed general followed the carriage closely, but could not catch up.

Although the red-robed general had doubts, he was worried that Xia Xuehan's relatives would take the opportunity to escape, so he had to send another army to chase after him.

After doing this for about a while, there were only two hundred people left around the red-robed general, and there were five carriages in front of him, still walking unhurriedly. The red-robed general's face was full of solemnity, and now he has been out of Chang'an for more than fifty miles, and he has long been far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the colorful fireworks have long been far away in the sky, and it is impossible to see it really.

Suddenly, the five carriages in front suddenly stopped at the mouth of a canyon, and there was a deathly silence. The red-robed general hurriedly chased after him, and opened the curtain of the carriage with his knife, but it was empty, and all five carriages were empty.

The red-robed general secretly screamed badly, and just as he was about to turn around, the rockets above the canyon fell like raindrops......

It's about to be the time of the child, and in a little while, not only will it be a new year, but maybe this world will also be a new world.

In the imperial study of Chang'an City, Xia Lang's face was terrifyingly cold, he stared at the two doors carved with gold flowers and vermilion lacquer, and now the only scene that can make him happy is that someone pushed open the door and asked him for credit with Xia Xuehan's head. But he himself knew that it seemed almost impossible for them to stop him, and even he couldn't think of any way to stop him at this time.

Kill the wolf, such three people, no matter which two are opposite, they are inseparable for a while, if anyone takes the lead, it is even more difficult to get back into the situation.

Unless they combine the forces of two to attack one of them, will that person make a move? Even if he does, will he be in time?

Xia Lang leaned back on the gold chair, closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, but he couldn't spit out the depression in his heart. At this time, Xu Ci ran in quickly, fell in front of Dan Qiao, and climbed in front of Xia Lang, trembling all over.

"How's it going?" Xia Lang jumped up like a mad lion, grabbed Xu Ci's collar, and roared. After asking, he couldn't help but curse secretly, he still can't see the result?

Xu Ci's legs were like boiled noodles, soft and without any strength, and it seemed that as soon as Xia Lang let go, he would collapse to the ground in an instant. "The emperor was angry, Xia Xuehan was suspicious, and transferred away the generals of the ten directions, he colluded with Russell, the captain of the city gate, Fan Kuan, the general of the cavalry, and Jiang Ning, the general of Qianniu Wei, who was responsible for patrolling Chang'an, and other important personnel who were responsible for patrolling Chang'an, and had already gone out of the city from the south gate, and now the Langya palace has long been empty. And, and ......"

"Go on!" Sharon's lips were biting blood, and his eyes were red as if they were bloodshot. His departure from Chang'an is tantamount to a fish swimming in the sea and a tiger returning to Nanshan, and he can no longer contain him!

Cold sweat broke out on Xu Ci's forehead, facing Xia Lang at this moment was even more tormented than killing him, and said tremblingly: "He sneaked into Zixia Palace to intercept Princess Reyihan, and entered the prison of Dali Temple to rescue King Yongwang Xia Yan......"

"It's over, from now on, the world will be divided into three parts, and there will be no peace!" Xia Lang seemed to have his soul drained suddenly, and as soon as his hand was released, Xu Ci involuntarily fell to the ground, and he himself sat on the golden chair and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, a dark shadow flashed outside the door of the imperial study, it was an old man in a black robe, he was standing five or six steps away from Xia Lang. The old man's face was wrinkled, like a wrinkled orange peel, and there was a bloodshot at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have trouble with his legs and feet, and he was holding a pair of black and shiny crutches, and he was panting for breath.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Xia Lang, who finally regained a few hints of light, staring at the black-robed old man.

"After playing eagle all my life, I was finally pecked blind by an eagle. Xuanyuan Palace Chu Nian, Wudang Ye Qianyu, and the Yang family's kid named Yang Xiao should not be underestimated, in the future, except for those two people, these people must be your fierce rivals!" The black-robed old man's throat was a little hoarse, and this voice made people's ears extremely uncomfortable.

"Is that thing missing?" said Sharon with a wry smile, a little stunned.

The black-robed old man nodded, didn't say anything, and moved around with difficulty, towards the door. Chang'an City is already in chaos, panicked people and gun-wielding soldiers can be seen everywhere, and there is no more festive celebration.

Samsung aggregation, the world has changed hands, irreversible, this is fate. This game is finally about to officially begin!

***

On the first day of the first month, a piece of news spread all over the world like a thunderclap - Xia Lang's father usurped power, brutalized his brother, was unfilial, the evidence was conclusive, and now it is spread all over the world, supporting Xia Yan, the king of Yong, as the emperor, raising an army to fight, and loyal people must not mistake themselves!

On the same day, the general troops in Dongting Poyang, Yizhou Bashu, Jiangnan Yangzhou and other areas south of the Yangtze River rose up one after another, announcing the world to assist Yongwang Xia Yan to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and raise troops to defeat the puppet monarch.

For a time, half of Great Xia was out of Xia Lang's control.

The south of the Yangtze River is full of Xia Yan, the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Yangtze River is the territory of Daxia, and the north of the Yellow River is the territory of the Liao State.

On the second day of the first month of the first month, another news reached the ears of the people who were still in shock, Xia Xuehan was not the illegitimate son of Emperor Chongming, this news was pure rumors and slander, Xia Xuehan's biological father and mother were Yan Lingge and Yun Caixuan, masters of the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, and the Great Xia royal family had nothing to do with it.

At the same time, dozens of martial arts gangs such as Shaolin, Wudang, Beggar Gang, Yishui Tianya Palace, Xuanyuan Palace, etc., spoke out together to clarify Xia Xuehan, even if there are doubtful people in the world, there are very few.

In Jinling City, it has long been restored to its former prosperity, and the palace that has been idle for a long time has been reorganized, just to welcome its new owner. In the Daming Palace, Xia Yan had already changed into a purple dragon-patterned brocade robe, and the scars on his delicate face had also been carefully treated, he stared at the white-clothed young man in front of him who was concentrating on drinking tea, squirming his lips, but he still couldn't say a word.

Xia Xuehan's tea had been changed twice, and he tasted it carefully, looking like he was floating out of the world, with a faint smile on his face. And Xia Yan sat next to him, every time he wanted to say something, he didn't know how to speak.

"If the emperor has nothing to do, Xue Han will retire first!" Xia Xuehan finished tasting the last cup of tea, gently put down the teacup, bowed, and was about to leave.

"Wait......" Xia Yan still stopped him, "Why, you can obviously ......"

"You won't be a hero, but you'll be a good emperor. I've told you so much these days, but you still won't sit in that position?" he said lightly.

Xia Yan took a few steps forward, walked behind Xia Xuehan, grabbed his arm, and almost begged: "You will be a thousand times more suitable than me when you sit in that position, you will ......"

Xia Xuehan gently took his hand and slowly walked towards the outside of the hall, saying as he walked: "I will help you conquer the whole world, but if you become a faint monarch and live up to the words of the past, I will never let you go!"

When the words fell, the person was nowhere to be seen, leaving Xia Yan standing there in a daze.

On the twelfth day of the first month, Xia Yan ascended the throne in Jinling and called the emperor, the country name was "Huaxia", changed the Yuan Yanxing, and named Xia Xuehan as the king of Langya and Shangzhu, commanded the three armies, and oversaw the dynasty.

On the one hand, the new dynasty set up a border defense capital to protect the border and Chen soldiers on the border of Liao and Daxia to prevent intrusions; on the other hand, it compiled a legal code to appease the people, exempt or exempt forced labor and taxes, and opened warehouses to provide relief to the victims. For a time, the people of Nanzhen did not feel uncomfortable at all because of the change of ruler, but ran to tell each other, praising the merits of the new monarch and the Shangzhu Kingdom.

In fact, Xia Xuehan went to the south of the Yangtze River twice, once he entered Xishu, and traveled to Dongting and Poyang, not just to enjoy the mountains and rivers. During this period, he not only secretly investigated the customs and customs of various places, but also privately contacted officials in various places, or coerced, or induced, or widely spread, just so that one day, when Charron could not tolerate him, he could have the strength to fight against him.

Although it is said that Xia Xuehan gathered the crowd to rebel against Chang'an, in fact, the foundation outside has long been solid, and with his ability to help the country, he has long been prepared, so no matter Yun Yifan or Xia Lang, he does not dare to send troops to stop it.

Not only because they can't figure out Xia Xuehan, but also because when dealing with Xia Xuehan, they have to guard against the sneak attack of a third party.

Ding, three-legged and two-eared, is an extremely stable thing in the world, and it cannot be shaken easily, even the current affairs in the world are the same.
