Chapter 9 Silence
。 Tianjing City, too a view.
Late December is the coldest time in Tianjing City.
Dark clouds make up for it in the night sky, and countless snowflakes fall. The twelve cities of Tianjing were all covered with a thin layer of snow, and the world seemed to become pure all of a sudden.
If it was the Tianjing City in the past, it would have already put up lights and prepared to welcome the New Year. But the invasion of the demons made everyone lose the mood for the New Year. Since the invasion of the demons, Tianjing City has implemented a curfew and controlled important materials such as grain.
The twelve cities of Tianjing have all been taken over by the army. Taverns, green houses, casinos and other places to play have closed. Tianjing City, which was originally the most prosperous and lively city in the world, was already deserted like a dead city at night.
There is a seven-story pavilion in the backyard of Taiyiguan, all of which are built of rosewood. Even in the depths of winter, the aroma of sandalwood can spread far and wide. The natural woody fragrance makes people feel calm.
Yuan Zhen and Jiang Shan are on the high pavilion, looking at the western sky. Even if it is a great grandmaster, it is impossible to see the situation thousands of miles away. But Yuan Zhen insisted, the country had nothing to do, so he looked at the sky with Yuan Zhen.
"Yuan Tianyi is the most cunning and cunning, he won't lose a hair when we all die, don't worry. Jiang Shan said casually, and drank a sip of dragon blood wine from time to time, looking extremely relaxed.
Yuan Zhen was also drinking, and under the nourishment of dragon blood wine, her pale face had a hint of red. "I'm just a little sorry that I didn't get to see the power of the Demon Emperor. ”
Jiang Shan shook his head disapprehantly, "If I can have a choice, I don't want to see the Demon Emperor." ”
The two of them were talking, and at the same time they had a feeling. I can't help but look to the west. Yuan Zhen and Jiang Shan's faces changed a little.
The aura of the Great Grandmaster's annihilation can be felt even if it is thousands of miles away. And the breath of destruction is clearly the original heavenly clothes.
After coming over for a while, Jiang Shan smiled bitterly and said: "You have been sneaky all your life, and you have become heroic." ”
Jiang Shan didn't have a good impression of Yuan Tianyi, and even hated Yuan Tianyi's deep scheming. This time, in order to fight against the demons, Jiang Shan had no choice but to cooperate with Yuan Tianyi. But he always secretly put the original heavenly clothes.
Yuan Tianyi let the country go. Jiang Shan didn't say a word, and dragged Yuan Zhen away. Jiang Shan never expected that Yuan Tianyi would be so strong, and would rather die than retreat.
Yuan Zhen was silent.
There were only three of them left in the world. Yuan Tianyi died again, and with Yuan Zhen's perseverance, he also felt extremely heavy in his heart. The suppressed is almost out of breath.
Yuan Zhen has never been afraid of personal life and death, but when he thinks that the burden of the survival of hundreds of millions of people is tied to them, such a pressure is too heavy to bear.
A golden light suddenly entered through the window, turning into a letterhead and stopping in front of Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen moved in his heart and opened the letterhead. After reading it, Yuan Zhen handed it to Jiang Shan and sighed: "Zhuang, Zhuangzai, the national teacher seeks benevolence and benevolence, and what a regret." ”
Jiang Shan looked at the letterhead, and it was the last words left by Yuan Tianyi to the two of them. Hara Tianyi briefly stated his plan in the letterhead. If you can kill the Demon Emperor. That's a great blessing for the Terrans. If they can't be killed, let both of them not find a way out, don't carry it to the end, and try to preserve the vitality of the human race.
Jiang Shan also sighed, "Although the original Tianyi plan is considered to be a secret. The Demon Emperor is afraid that he is not dead. ”
Yuan Zhen said suddenly: "The Demon Emperor is not dead, and he will be injured under the blow of the national teacher." Perhaps, this is our chance. As he spoke, Yuan Zhen's eyes lit up.
Jiang Shan hurriedly persuaded: "Even if the Demon Emperor is injured, he has two artifacts in his hands, and it is not something we can kill." Take a step back. He has at least four other Great Demon Kings by his side. There's no chance of success. ”
Yuan Zhen thought for a while and said, "Why don't I send a letter to Gao Huan, this is a precious opportunity." ”
Jiang Shan also hesitated, the situation was so critical, and no one thought about finding Gao Huan. It's not that they all forget, but they all regard Gao Huan as their last hope. ...,
Gao Huan's failure to retreat proves that he has not yet reached the level of Dzogchen. Rushing to wake him up was afraid that it would affect his cultivation. But as Yuan Zhen said, this is a precious opportunity.
The demons have been invading for so long, and they have also captured a lot of demons. I also have a deep understanding of the organizational form of the demon race. As Gao Huan said at the beginning, if he could kill the Demon Emperor, the Demon Clan would be able to collapse without a fight.
In the face of this difficult problem, it is still difficult to make a decision immediately.
What is the situation of the Demon Emperor now, and what is the situation of Gao Huan now, there is no way to judge. It would be too hasty to shout Gao Huan based on just one speculation.
Jiang Shan pondered for a while and said, "You first send a letter to Gao Huan to ask about his situation, and then tell him about this situation." Let him decide for himself. ”
For Gao Huan, Jiangshan still trusts him very much. Not only in terms of force, but also Gao Huan's wisdom and determination in handling things, there are few people in the world who can compare. Yuan Zhen, there is a decision, but Jiang Shan doesn't trust her judgment very much.
Yuan Zhen also agreed with Jiang Shan's opinion, and sent a flying letter to Gao Huan.
Waiting until the next day, the Xuanyuan Dynasty learned the news of Yuan Tianyi's death in battle. The whole dynasty was in a panic. Although the national teacher Yuan Tianyi did not interfere in the government affairs, he was the pillar of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
No matter what happens, as long as there is the original Tianyi, everyone's heart will be bottomed. Yuan Tianyi's almost sudden death in battle made everyone very uneasy.
Emperor Xuanyuan Zhan was even more so, he always felt that Yuan Tianyi was always pointing fingers and putting forward too many opinions. But when Yuan Tianyi disappeared completely, he realized how much he needed Yuan Tianyi's guidance.
The death of the national teacher Yuan Tianyi, as well as the fiasco of Tianyuan City, also gave the court a feeling that the building was about to collapse. The turmoil of people's hearts is irrepressible. Everyone is starting to make their own calculations.
This kind of information cannot be kept secret. It was really spread ten, ten by hundred, and in less than the afternoon, the people of the entire Tianjing City knew the news.
In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Xuanyuan Zhan was discussing with several important ministers.
"The demon clan is fierce and monstrous, and it won't take long to kill under Tianjing City, do you have a plan to deal with it?"
Emperor Xuanyuan Zhan has succeeded to the throne for more than ten years, and he has already had a ninth-order cultivation under the forcible promotion of the imperial secret method. And after being an emperor for so long, he has also accumulated self-confidence and majesty. Although I am extremely afraid of demons in my heart. The upright face of the Chinese character does not show a trace of color, showing a graceful and luxurious atmosphere.
Forced by Xuanyuan Zhan's gaze, Taiwei Jia Hongyuan stood up and said: "In the first battle of Tianyuan City, we lost 310,000 troops, and there were countless loads of grain and grass. The 30,000 warlocks drawn from all sides were killed and wounded. Of the more than 400 Heaven Rank powerhouses, only one hundred and thirty-seven have been collected now. The battle was a heavy one. We can't afford to fight another big war of this magnitude in the short term......"
Xuanyuan Zhan's face sank like water, "I can't afford to fight, what about my three million army?"
Jia Hongyuan was helplessly proud: "Your Majesty." It is impossible for all three million troops to be drawn together. If nothing else, food alone cannot be supplied. The first line from Tianyuan City to Tianjing City, the Heavenly Wolf Army. More than a million troops such as the Battle Dragon Army have already arranged a defensive line......"
As a lieutenant, although Jia Hongyuan's courage is a little small, he is a real expert in military affairs, and he understands the layout and plan of the army very clearly.
Hearing what Jia Hongyuan said in such detail, Xuanyuan Zhan's face looked a little better, and said, "How long can you stop the demon clan?"
Jia Hongyuan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister is incompetent, and he can't determine the time." But Tianyuan City can't stop the demon clan for five days, and the other cities are even more unbearable......" Jia Hongyuan didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was that the cities along the way couldn't be defended. It is impossible to stop the progress of the demons.
Although Xuanyuan Zhan was angry in his heart, he also knew that Jia Hongyuan was no wonder about this, and personally helped Jia Hongyuan up, "It's no wonder Aiqing for this matter." Then he said, "Prime Minister, what do you think?" The death of the national teacher in battle can't stop the demon soldiers, so it can be seen that fighting to the death is not a good strategy......"
Xuanyuan Zhan looked straight at Ge Shaoyuan, wanting to see what he could say. At this point, there are only two options left. Fight to the death, or surrender. Although Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to surrender in his heart, he was the king of a country. But you can't say it yourself.
Ge Shaoyuan understood what the emperor meant, but he didn't dare to say the word surrender easily. The first person to say this will definitely be recorded in history. Although the demon soldiers might destroy everything, out of caution, Ge Shaoyuan just said: "The stakes are very high, we have to think about it in the long run......
"What are you thinking about in the long run, it's too late for the demons to kill. In order to save the people of the world and the fire and water, the minister dared to ask His Majesty to negotiate peace with the demons. ”
Dingyang Wang Xuanyuan Xin said loudly.
Xuanyuan Xin is Xuanyuan Zhan's eleventh uncle, and he has been close to Xuanyuan Zhan since he was a child. Xuanyuan Zhan became the emperor, and Xuanyuan Xin also rose to the top and became an important minister in the dynasty. The peace negotiation that Xuanyuan Xin said was just a good way to say about surrender. The royal family, which has enjoyed thousands of years of glory and wealth, has long lost its courage.
Xuanyuan Zhan pretended to be difficult, and Da Situ Jingjun and Sikong Zhangyu bowed down at the same time and said, "Your Majesty, peace is the best policy." ”
"Peace, no. One of them suddenly interjected.
Xuanyuan Xin was furious, and in this hall, he dared to have someone to stop the peace, not to seek death. "This matter can only be judged by His Majesty, which round will get you, uh,"
Xuanyuan didn't finish his words, so he couldn't go on. The person who spoke behind him was handsome, slender, with a bun on his head, a long robe on his body, and his body was not stained with dust.
"Holy referee, then the emperor, you can cut it. Gao Huan said with a smile.
Gao Huan's smile was very warm and gentle, but Xuanyuan Zhan's heart was cold. He knew that it was Gao Huan's Xuanyuan Hong who committed suicide at the beginning.
The words of peace swirled in his throat, but he couldn't say anything. Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes rolled, and he saw that the other ministers were also drooping, and no one dared to speak. I was even more embarrassed.
"Since the sect leader is here, of course I have to ask the sect leader for advice. Xuanyuan Zhan thought for a moment and said insincerely.
Gao Huan smiled again, "Let me say it's very simple, either the demon clan dies, or my clan dies." Is there a third way? As he spoke, he said calmly: "Those who dare to negotiate peace and surrender will die." ”
Before the words fell, Xuanyuan Xin, Da Situ Jingjun, and Da Sikong Zhangyu exploded at the same time, and flesh and blood splashed in all directions.
Xuanyuan Zhan's body and face were splashed with flesh and blood, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to look at Gao Huan.
The other important ministers in the Zichen Hall were also silent, and no one dared to make a sound.
