Chapter Ninety-Two: The Flames of War Sweep Through
On June 18, the twelfth year of the Great Qi Kingdom, Qiwei Wang Tianhe, the iron-blooded Six Male Passes, which were known as the unconquerable, were attacked by dozens of Demon Beast Kings of the Spirit Realm and countless Demon Beasts, and the easternmost three Xiongguan were captured, and the Jiangliu Plain was in flames.
On the same day, King Qi Wei issued several edicts.
An edict is an edict for sin, and King Qi Wei, at the request of all the people, sacrifices to the heavens in Chaoxi Divine Mountain, praying for forgiveness from heaven and letting the demon beasts retreat.
The highest peak on the Chaoxi Divine Mountain, there is a day, which is where the emperors of the past dynasties sacrificed to the sky.
On this day, there were hundreds of civil and military officials, all of whom were ministers of the third rank or above, thousands of guards ensured the smooth holding of the festival, and thousands of people were fortunate enough to witness the grand event of the festival.
When the hour came, King Qi Wei lit the incense of the sacrifice to the heavens and began the edict of sin.
The edict is as follows:
King Qi Wei, in the twelfth year, cares about the people, bows to everything, does not dare to slack off, dare not sleep at night, and the morning sun has also woken up. The safety of the people in the ten counties is at stake, and the interests of millions of living beings are the most important, and we attach importance to education, strengthen production, educate the people, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and I dare not slack off for a day.
However, above the court, among the rivers and lakes, those who fail to understand it do not know how many, and I also have the intention of slacking. The powerful ministers are in charge, and the thieves are rampant, and this is the fault of one person.
Now, my absurd actions angered the heavens, and the heavens sent a great edict to alert me with the riots of the demon beasts, but I still did not repent, did not care much, and even killed the wrath of the heavens with the lives of soldiers, thus causing a catastrophe, and the rivers and plains were full of war.
I know that my sins are deep, and now I am specially sacrificing to the heavens, this sin is the fault of one person, and it has nothing to do with the people, but I do not investigate the fault, may God be merciful to the people, so that the demon beast will retreat, and let me bear the consequences alone. The sin is not in the people, but it is not in all the people, but it is visible in the heavens.
If the punishment of God is receded, I will be kind to the people in the future, and I will not do the debauchery and immorality, and if the heavens are still not satisfied, I am willing to abandon the throne, pass on the throne, and degrade the common people
After sprinkling thousands of words. King Qi Wei finally finished reading the edict of sin, and after going through a series of tedious procedures, the sacrifice to heaven was finally completed.
Zhao Wenchuan, the king of Qiwei, summoned the duke, "I heard that the person who asked me to issue an edict to sacrifice to the heavens this time is the master of inquiry?"
"Your Majesty, it is the master of inquiry. β
"He's the crown prince!"
The playboy bowed his head and smiled: "Exactly, this is still appointed by your majesty last year!"
King Qi Wei glanced at the playboy lightly, "Some people! It's not good to stretch your hand too long. The duke trembled under King Qi Wei's indifferent eyes, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
patted the dude on the shoulder, and the dude almost fell to the ground. "Mr. Qin's hand is stretched too long, and the royal affairs are not something he can get involved in, I heard that Mr. Xun is not in good health and is getting old. It's possible that when you hear that the demon beast is coming, you will be scared to death, right?"
The playboy wiped the cold sweat from his head, "That's for sure, Your Majesty." β
"Then don't do it quickly. β
"It's Your Majesty. The minions retired. β
King Qi Wei stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the entire Chaoxi City, and said indifferently: "I am the Son of Heaven. Even if the tide of monsters and beasts is coming, I am still the Son of Heaven, and if you dare to make waves of snakes, ghosts, rats, and demons, I will let you taste the anger of the Son of Heaven, how does it compare with the anger of the heavens. At this time, Zhao Wenchuan still had the appearance when he talked to Qin Chen that day, and the emperor's aura was undoubtedly revealed.
On that day, the second edict was issued.
The edict of appointment is as follows:
It is rumored that Cheng Guangbi, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Blood Xiongguan, has a merit in blocking the demon beasts, but he is also seriously injured and cannot command an army of 10,000 people. The Weiyuan general Yuan Poor Zhi is now appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Iron and Blood Xiongguan, taking over all the duties of Cheng Guangbi, and sending a special envoy Qin Chenxian Shi to announce the secret order of Zhen.
On the same day, the Weiyuan general Yuan Qiangzhi led 10,000 county officials and troops, and the special envoy Qin Chen went to the Iron and Blood Xiongguan.
The third edict is the edict of conscription.
The conscription edict was as follows:
Now that the tide of demon beasts is coming, the flames of war have burned into the territory of Jiangguo, and the relationship between the Great Qi Kingdom and the Jiangguo Kingdom is a cold relationship. All men over the age of sixteen and under the age of forty-five, except for those with disabilities and dementia, must join the army unless there is a special reason, otherwise they will be punished for treason.
In addition, all domestic warriors in Daqi, above the age of 12 and under the age of 70, must join the army if there is no special reason, otherwise they will be punished for treason.
King Qi Wei urgently ordered during the war that all the immortal masters in the Great Qi Kingdom, no matter what their status, except for the great meritorious Cheng Guangbi, no matter what the reason, must join the army, otherwise they will be hunted down by all the immortal masters of the Great Qi Kingdom, and they will not die.
Since the conscription order was issued and transmitted to the county capitals by special means, the war machine of the powerful country of Daqi has let out the strongest roar in history, from the mountains, from the countryside, from the prison, from the homes of the rich and noble, a steady stream of young and middle-aged people have come to the nearest conscription camp, and the number of recruits has surged.
The fourth edict is the edict of migration.
The edict of migration is as follows:
From today onwards, all the people who are not on the conscription edict need to go to the Xiyi Hundred Tribes, which is not mandatory. If you want to coexist with the Great Qi Kingdom, the deceased can stay, but it is best to go.
From this day onwards, all prisoners who are not in the conscription edict in the death row must go to the Xiyi Hundred Tribes, which is not mandatory. If you want to coexist with the Great Qi Kingdom, the deceased can stay, but it is best to go. The world will amnesty and forgive you from other sins.
The migration edict was also transmitted to the county government by special means, on this day, hundreds of thousands of people dragged their families and mouths on the road to the Xiyi tribes, in all parts of the Great Qi country, you can see the dense people on the road, on the sheep intestine path, on the mountain road, carrying out an unprecedented migration.
On June 19, the twelfth year of Qi Wei Wang Tianhe of the Great Qi State, just one day later, the other two Xiongguan of the Jiang Kingdom fell one after another, and the Jiang Kingdom no longer had any natural dangers.
It was also on this day that the Weiyuan general Yuan Qiangzhi and the envoy Qin Chen announced the order of King Qi Wei, and dozens of trebuchets finally played their role, millions of arrows filled the small square, the giant crossbow arrows were all used up, and hundreds of boxes of gunpowder were exhausted.
It was a battle, and the demon beast group in the vast mountain range suffered heavy casualties, countless beasts, countless demon beasts, and the demon beast king of the Spirit Realm killed two and injured three.
The open space in front of the Iron Blood Pass was filled with arrows and the corpses of demon beasts, and the blood flowed like a river. The trebuchet exploded with great lethality, and the open space in front of it was filled with boulders, turning into a huge boulder beach with a height of 100 meters.
On the same day, General Wei Yuan led tens of thousands of soldiers and countless ordnance to Luoguang County, strictly guarding Luoguang County, and the special envoy Qin Chen and General Cheng Guangbi Cheng returned to Chaoxi City to reply to the decree.
On June 20, the twelfth year of Qi Wei Wang Tianhe of the Great Qi Kingdom, the county town of Shannan of Jiangguo was breached, and the vast land south of the county town became the object of demon beasts.
On this day, a small group of demon beasts broke through the defense line of the Great Qi Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom, and harmed several villages. Fortunately, it was exterminated by the border army.
Before nearly a million new troops were assembled, they were sent to the defense line of the Great Qi State and the Jiang State, preparing to defend the border with their lives and complete the evacuation of the people of the Great Qi State.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Elixir Mountain, and Heavenly Soldier Cave led all the disciples of the entire sect to Chaoxi City, vowing to live and die with Chaoxi City.
On June 21, the twelfth year of the Great Qi Kingdom, Qiwei Wang Tianhe, Shannan County completely fell, and the super power of the Jiang Kingdom was guarded by the Tianyao Palace of the Jiang Kingdom, and the other three counties were abandoned.
On this day, all the Immortal Masters of the Ten Counties of the Great Qi Kingdom rushed to Chaoxi City. In addition to Cheng Guangbi and Yuan Poor Zhi, there are a total of thirty Immortal Masters of the Spirit Realm.
On the same day, an army composed of warriors marched to fifty miles south of Chaoxi City to prevent the further ravages of the demon beast group.
Great Qi State Qi Wei Wang Tianhe 12th year June 22. The three counties of Jiangguo were swept by the demon beasts with lightning speed, and the people of the three counties suffered heavy casualties, and there was not one in a hundred who fled to the Great Qi Kingdom.
On that day, the border between Luoguang County and Jiang Kingdom of Great Qi was breached by demon beasts. Luoguang County was attacked by the demon beast group, and Yuan Poor Zhi led the soldiers to retreat after paying a great price. Enter the second line of defense to arm.
On June 23, the twelfth year of Qi Wei Wang Tianhe of the Great Qi Kingdom, more than a dozen Demon Beast Kings of the Spirit Realm joined forces to attack the capital of the Jiang Kingdom, and after holding on for a day, the country was breached, and the Immortal Master of the Jiang Kingdom turned into a spiritual realm suffered heavy casualties, and the Lord of the Jiang Kingdom fled under the desperate efforts of the Jiang Kingdom royal family, and only one Taishang Elder escaped from the Heavenly Medicine Palace.
On that day, the demon beast group attacked Hanshui County of the Great Qi Kingdom, and Yuan Poor Zhi, after holding out for a day, led the soldiers to retreat and entered the third line of defense.
On June 24, the twelfth year of Qi Wei Wang Tianhe of the Great Qi Kingdom, the four counties of the Jiang Kingdom completely fell, and only three Immortal Masters of the Spirit Realm fled to the Great Qi Kingdom, and the Jiang Kingdom was destroyed.
On that day, nearly a million recruits fought the first major battle against the monster tide, and the recruits suffered heavy casualties, but they finally held the border and bought enough time for the people to evacuate.
The demon beast group attacked Qiuling County under the leadership of the five demon beast kings of the Spirit Realm, and Yuan Poor Zhi was defeated and seriously injured, and fled back to Chaoxi City overnight
Ever since I heard about the fall of the Iron Blood Hero, there has been a lot of rumors in Chaoxi City, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.
After King Qi Wei issued the edict of conscription and migration, a frenzy of westward migration broke out in Chaoxi City, hundreds of large merchants and famous families moved westward, and after killing hundreds of heads in a row, the frenzied people sobered up and began to act in accordance with King Qiwei's edict.
But as the saying goes, there are no absolutes.
After spending a lot of money, the housekeepers of the Du Mansion all gloriously exceeded the threshold of forty-five years old and could live for a long time.
And Uncle Du and Aunt Du have also become glorious old men, enjoying the beautiful scenery full of children and grandchildren.
In a pavilion in the backyard of Du Mansion, this was the second time Qin Chen had come to this place after having a long talk with Zhao Wenchuan last time.
Lying on a thick trunk of the old locust tree on the pavilion, Du Yuewei and Qin Chen, the young couple, enjoyed a rare comfortable time in the afternoon.
Qin Chen hugged Du Yuewei's small waist, smelling the faint fragrance on Du Yuewei's body, feeling very relaxed, and the evil qi contaminated by the Iron Blood Xiongguan a few days ago also dissipated invisibly.
The right hand restlessly wrapped Du Yuewei's long hair into circles one after another, and only in this way could Qin Chen not think of the tragic scene, thinking that he had participated in the battle to defend the Qingyuan County City, and he was also a bloody person, but in that battle that day, Qin Chen realized how ridiculous and naΓ―ve he was.
Du Yuewei knocked away Qin Chen's restless hand and twisted Qin Chen's waist muscles into one hundred and eighty degrees, "Brother Qin, put your hands in order, we are not married!"
"If you don't get married, you dare to be secretly with my fiancΓ©? Besides, what if you're not married, who else do you want to marry besides me?"
"There are so many young talents in the Great Qi Kingdom, I can marry whoever I want. β
Qin Chen was furious when he heard this. This is okay, hurriedly served the family law, touched Du Yuewei's body, and let Du Yuewei say forgiveness.
After fighting for a while, Du Yuewei lay on Qin Chen's body and looked at Qin Chen with a serious face, "Brother Qin, let's escape! Escape to a place where no one can find us, with Brother Qin's ability, he will definitely be able to protect our safety." β
"Are you serious?" Qin Chen looked at Du Yuewei with a frown.
After getting Du Yuewei's affirmative answer. Qin Chen sighed.
"If it was a few days ago, I would have accompanied you without any psychological burden, but when I saw Grandpa Cheng because of his desperate cultivation with demon beasts, I hesitated, I hesitated, I hesitated after I saw those soldiers in the Iron and Blood Male Pass who fought to the death and did not retreat, and when I saw nearly a million young adults rushing to the border because of the emperor's order, I hesitated. β
Staring at the sky, Qin Chen squinted, "I saw it in the sky above the Great Qi Kingdom. There are countless heroic souls roaring, and although their bodies are dead, their spirits are still alive, and they show us the way forward. And how can I run away from it?"
Staring at Du Yuewei's eyes, Qin Chen said with a sincere face: "Yuewei, I'm sorry. I can't promise you, I can't elope with you, I can't give you a full wedding. Can't give you a bright future, do you blame me?"
"Alright, alright. Du Yuewei kissed Qin Chen's face, "Maybe I had those selfish thoughts, but now it's gone, I don't care about the invasion of demon beasts, I just know that I have a man named Qin Chen who loves me, he will fight for my life, and he will not look for a girl for me even if I am in the Qinglou." β
Qin Chen's face turned red, this matter has been so long, why did Du Yuewei still bring up the old thing?
Holding Du Yuewei tightly, Qin Chen knew that there were very few comfortable times like this, so he cherished every opportunity.
After staying for half an hour, Qin Chen stretched out his arm, moved the bones in his body, and stretched out his hand to Du Yuewei, "Okay, Yuewei, let's go down!"
Du Yuewei shook her head, "Brother Qin, just let me stay on this! Qin Chen didn't doubt him and left alone.
On the branch of the locust tree, looking at Qin Chen's distant back, Du Yuewei clenched her fists, "Du Yuewei, it's all because you are too weak that you let Brother Qin bear so much, I hate myself, I hate my weakness, I want to be stronger." β
At dinnertime, a large group of people from the Du family sat together.
Gusu Immortal Gu is also impressively listed, today's dinner is very rich, but the protagonist is not Gusu Immortal, but Cheng Guangbi.
After the treatment of Master Du's countless pills, Cheng Guangbi has gotten rid of the image of zongzi, wearing a simple costume, and there are no scars on his body, but the meridians of his body have not improved in the slightest, in other words, Cheng Guangbi is no longer an immortal master in the spirit realm.
Having said that, Cheng Guangbi did not have the slightest expression of frustration, but smiled constantly.
Holding a wine glass and looking at everyone, Cheng Guangbi sighed with emotion, "I, Cheng Guangbi, am the son of a bandit, I was caught and joined the army, but I didn't expect it to soar, become a general who commands tens of thousands of soldiers, become an immortal master in the Spirit Realm, spread out the branches, and establish a huge Cheng Mansion, I thought I would die on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to go to Xiyi to retire." β
We are lifelong brothers, and we have a lifelong friendship, as a brother, I advise you, don't care about the ancestral training of the Du family, maybe you will be able to survive tomorrow? Hurry up and give Gusu a name! For this matter, Lao Cheng, I have been my heart for half a lifetime!"
Master Du lowered his head, not daring to look at the Gusu Immortal Master. Cheng Guangbi shook his head, knowing that his cowardly brother still didn't dare to get out of this most embarrassing cloth.
Looking at Uncle Du and Aunt Du, "I decided the marriage between the two of you back then, Yuntian, I know that you were dissatisfied with me at that time, what about now?"
Uncle Du hugged Aunt Du and smiled: "I am very satisfied." β
Staring at Qin Chen and Du Yuewei, "Boy, since you have fallen in love with our Yuewei, then you have to be good to Yuewei, now that the tide of demon beasts is coming, I don't care what method you use, you must ensure that Yuewei is intact, otherwise don't blame the old man for being polite." β
Qin Chen hugged Du Yuewei and looked at Du Yuewei with affection, "Don't worry! If you want to hurt Yuewei, you can't step on my corpse." β
Cheng Guangbi nodded with satisfaction and raised his glass, "Okay, I won't say much nonsense, I wish everyone a safe and sound, cheers." β
"Cheers. (To be continued......)
