Devil’s Advent

three sides,

The Emperor of Great Swallow descends under the banner,

The emperor sat on the imperial chariot, looking at the scene of the siege ahead.

In the distance on both sides, you can clearly see the wounded soldiers and corpses being transported down, while the siege battle ahead is still in full swing.

Standing beside the emperor, apart from Eunuch Wei and Eunuch Zhang, and the chief assistant of the cabinet Mao Mingcai, there is also a slightly reduced meat mountain...Xu Wenzu.

Xu Pangpang can be said to be a brick of Dayan, and he can be moved wherever it is needed.

During the Yan-Chu Kingdom War before, Xu Wenzu was sent to Yingdu as an imperial envoy to take charge of the logistics. After the national war, which lasted for more than half a year, came to an end, he was transferred to Yinlang County by the emperor's decree, and returned to his hometown. The place where his dreams began.

In fact, it was also the place where Zheng Shoubei's dream began.

In the past ten years, the three sides of Qianguo have always been a very ambiguous existence;

The Gan people know that their three sides are strong, and the Yan people know the same. Therefore, although the Yan people have shouted slogans many times to break the three sides, they have been just shouting all these years, and they have not really done anything. The purpose is to create a tense atmosphere on the border for everyone to get what they need, and to involve others in the battlefield.

But this time, it's different.

The Yan army has come, and the emperor of Yan has also come, and the Yan army has really begun to attack the three sides.

It's not a feint attack, let alone a show, it's really costing a huge price to chew on this rammed earth and mud wall!

Then, it really proved that the three sides are difficult to attack. This is still one of the main cities, and on the premise of repelling other road reinforcements, it is still impossible to see the dawn of breaking it in a short time.

"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."

The emperor witnessed the anxiety and tragedy of the battle with his own eyes. Looking at the wounded and dead soldiers, he felt distressed and said:

"Every day, not only do I have to consume so much food and grass, but I also have to spend so much pension money. My heart aches."

When Mao Ming heard this, he had no choice but to remonstrate:

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Right now the soldiers are sieging the city without risking their lives, and the emperor is behind, how can they say "distressed" Yinzi?

If this word is spread, it will be too insulting to the holy name.

Xu Wenzu said with a smile: "Master Mao's words are wrong. Think about it, if the soldiers who died in the battle are known, do you want our Majesty to shed a tear for them, or are you planning to give their families the compensation money?" Woolen cloth?"

Mao Mingcai was taken aback, and said: "That's what you said, but your majesty is your majesty after all, you shouldn't..."

"Okay, okay, you are all your own family, there is nothing to worry about."

The emperor stood up,

asked:

"Is there still no action at Lanyang City?"

Xu Wenzu said: "Yes."

"Oh, it's a good thing that I brought you two with me this time. If I bring all those people from the court, I'm afraid it will be fried by now. If I want to call out the surname Zheng, I will deliberately let the imperial army consume my house and save it. Come with strength."

"Your Majesty is wise, when it comes to fighting, the ministers are far inferior to the Prince Regent."

"Add me too, I don't know how to fight.

but,

Fortunately, I am obedient in places I don’t understand;

He surnamed Zheng wants me to cooperate as much as I want, so I will cooperate.

Where is this now?

Even if the family is lost,

I will not even blink an eye.

The father and his generation were always betting on the fate of the country, so that's what we call it. "

Xu Wenzu said: "Thanks to His Majesty for coming."

The emperor sighed,

road:

"I didn't want to come here, but I was afraid that my elder brother and Li Liangshen would be reluctant to part with this family.

I this time,

Just to be a supervisor.

Although I also feel that the surname Zheng is playing too much this time, and it is too risky;

But since his surname Zheng has already entered the gambling table,

Then I,

I can only follow along with the family. "

...

The three sides have long been at war;

Here in Kelanyang City, it is still sunny and sunny.

The Yan army and the Yan army camps outside the city were so densely packed that they could not be seen at a glance. What was flying was the king's flag of the King Regent of Yan.

The camps behind Lanyang City are also densely packed, and they can't be seen at a glance. The flags with Meng characters, Zhong characters and Han characters are flying.

The armies of both sides formed a confrontation with Lanyang City as the boundary.

The Yan army did not attack the city,

The dry army did not attack,

Everyone seems to agree by default, to continue this... The years are quiet.

In the tent of Commander Yan,

Gou Moli sat there, and a series of military orders were issued from there, mobilizing the daily activities of the entire army;

And the head of Lanyang City,

Holding a sword that was bought for him by the sword maid at the blacksmith's shop in Nanmen Pass, Chen Daxia, who has been on guard with the defenders and preparing to defend the city,

brow,

but getting deeper;

Because Chen Daxia knows that Zheng Fan regards himself as a friend,

But Chen Daxia knows better,

The face of my friend is not so great that the surname Zheng is reluctant to order the siege just because he is here.

especially yesterday,

When the Lanyang Jiedu envoy led a group of generals to inspect the city tower,

There was a very clear smile on his face, as if something great had happened or was about to happen.

Somehow,

See the smiles on their faces,

Chen Daxia's heart became tighter and tighter.

He had stayed by Zheng Fan's side for a long time, and sometimes when Zheng Fan used troops not against Gan but against other places, he would stay in the commander's tent to protect the Zheng.

so,

He has seen too many former opponents surnamed Zheng, after laughing happily...

Chen Daxia is a rough man, a martial artist, he doesn't understand military affairs, he doesn't understand the overall situation of the world, and even... he is a little uneducated.

So, he couldn't analyze this feeling, and he couldn't write it down on paper, but he instinctively wanted to say it out and tell the Jiedushi.

But when he took the initiative to walk over and was about to ask to meet Chen with the feelings and worries in his heart,

However, he was stopped by the personal guard of Lord Jiedu Envoy from a long distance away.

He has Yao Zizhan's protection and certification, and he has the name of a hero. Therefore, he can enter Lanyang, go up the city wall, and help defend the city. Since he is willing to serve the country in the name of a gangster, no one can stop him ;

But because everyone knew that even though he was a dry man, he was inseparable from the regent king, so Lord Jiedu did not dare to let him get close.

Can be distinguished,

When I first entered Lanyang City to report the military situation that was already lagging behind,

The Lord Jiedu Envoy received him cordially, and warmly greeted him.

Daxia Chen finally came to his senses,

The interview that day didn't seem to be for Master Yao's face,

Because Master Jiedu specifically asked himself that day,

he asks:

"The Prince Regent is an old man, is he in good health?"

...

Shangjing,

palace;

Zhao Mugou, an official of the Qian State, who had just concluded today's discussion in the imperial study, returned to his bedroom, once again shunned the eunuchs and maids, and faced the portrait of the female sword fairy by himself.

The officials used to have the habit of talking to this portrait every once in a while;

In the past two months, the frequency has become higher and higher, even almost once a day.

This means that the official's heart is getting more and more nervous.

"I asked Li Xundao, can he succeed this time?

Li Xundao's reply to me was that I have worked hard, and I have done everything that can be done, and arranged everything that can be arranged in advance. Right now, I just need to wait for Jiangnan's results.

soon too,

Because even if the Yan people sense something is wrong,

He has nothing to do now.

But the exact military report did not come in a day,

No,

I haven't seen the regent's head placed in front of my imperial table for a day,

My heart cannot be settled for a day.

Do you feel,

As the emperor, I have no courage and no future, huh?

so,

Where are you?

If you were by my side at this time, accompanying me, then my heart would not be so flustered.

because,

Only you are by my side,

Only then can I prove that my dream is true;

only means,

I am truly...destined. "

...

The Qianjun Mingjin retreated;

Xie Yu'an untied the leather armor on his body, leaned back a little tiredly, and sat on the steps.

Xie Yu'an has been in charge of a city wall alone since the army began to attack the city.

It's very tiring, it's not easy,

when it lowered its head,

It can be found that the two strands of long hair on the temples, which symbolize the elegance of the great Chu nobles, have been cut off long ago.

The swordmaker walked to his side. Although his body was not injured, there were clear scorched marks on his clothes and face. Compared with the past when he walked against the wind and controlled his hair, he was quite embarrassing.

Ah Da brought up the water bag, and the swordmaker shook his head.

Ah Da handed the water bag to Xie Yu'an, Xie Yu'an took it and started to drink.

Ah Er brought a basin filled with clean water, and the swordmaker began to wash his face.

After washing his face, when Ah Er was about to pour it out, Xie Yu'an reached out to stop him, took the basin, and washed himself with the water.

"Ever since you witnessed one of your Xie family's light cavalry being strangled around the city that day, you have become... working harder."

Also that day,

Xie Yu'an, who could have stood at the back like a feather fan and a scarf to direct, put on leather armor and cut off his long hair at the temples.

"Didn't I work hard before?" Xie Yu'an asked back.

"Oh, it used to be called hard work, but now, it's called hard work."

Xie Yu'an took the handkerchief that the previous swordmaker wiped his face, wiped his own face, and said with emotion:

"I have a good father."

"It's strange, what happened?" The swordmaker was really puzzled.

"Many people call me Qianliju from the Xie family, and I also felt that way at one time, thinking how lucky is my old man to have a son like me.

But only now, I realize how lucky I am to have such a father as him. "

"I don't understand."

"You don't have to understand."

Xie Yu'an stretched out his hand, put it on the swordmaker's shoulder, and said seriously:

"I will take good care of Dugu."

"Why do you take care of it?" The swordsmith narrowed his eyes slightly, "I seem to understand, but I'm missing a key link."

"Everyone in the world says that the Regent of Dayan honors righteousness and keeps promises. Right now, my father is in Tongyan City, and I am the only one standing in front of him. Just wait, my lord will..."

The swordmaker coughed lightly;

Xie Yu'an silenced.

Not long after, a figure in a black python robe appeared from the corner of Qiantou Street. As soon as he appeared, the surrounding soldiers and wounded soldiers immediately stood up subconsciously.

After guarding the city for so long, I finally saw my prince.

No one will complain, and no one will slander. When this army and horses face their prince, they are loyal besides loyal.

The prince walked straight to this side, followed by His Royal Highness and the Juggernaut.

Looking at his disheveled face, and at the clean white clothes of the other sword master, the sword maker spread his hands, expressing his puzzlement.

And Juggernaut,

Scanning the swordmaker carefully from top to bottom,

Then,

He looked away again.

This time, the swordmaker almost vomited blood. If he didn't know that he had spent too much energy defending the city before, and if he didn't know that he was not the opponent of the sword master in a one-on-one match, the swordmaker really wanted to slap his sword. The box uses the sword to reason!

Why is your family guarding the city, I am the one who is exhausted, but you are leisurely?

same,

The prince's python robe was obviously just changed for going out, but Xie Yu'an looks like this now.

Could it be that the people outside are besieging the city with all their might, in order to catch this Xie family horse and not you, the Great Yan Regent?

The prince stretched out his hand and placed it on Zheng Lin's head.

Zheng Lin's expression was a little serious. Obviously, he experienced resistance not long ago, but it was also obvious that his resistance was suppressed.

If you lift the cuffs of His Royal Highness's python robe, you can clearly see a series of tiny pinholes.

It was because of a quarrel with my own father before, and as a result, my mother almost sewed him into a "scarecrow".

Zheng Lin stepped forward,

Bow down to the swordmaker,

road:

"I want a sword."

The swordmaker's expression was first astonished, then pleasantly surprised.

Although it's not an apprenticeship ceremony, at least it's half of it.

What's rare is that His Highness Shi Zi took the initiative to tell himself, and what's even more rare is that Yu Huaping didn't say a word.

"It's easy to say, easy to say."

The swordsmith hurriedly said.

He is too involved in the secular world, plus he is obsessed with making swords. In the way of swordsmanship, it is very difficult to follow Yu Huaping's angle and continue to move forward. So he actually values ​​inheritance more than the sword master.

More importantly, the prince asked him for a sword, as long as he had the gift of a half-master, it was equivalent to the Dugu family behind him, and he had a sweet love with the prince of the palace;

The family provides its own resources, so that he can make swords and play for many years, and live a chic life. As a child of the family, he must also take responsibility for the inheritance of the family.

that's enough.

Next, he, a swordmaker, can roam the rivers and lakes without any family concerns.

Um,

Of course, the premise of all this is that Jinghai City will not be broken, and the father and son can return to Jindong safely;

Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

But look at Xie Yuan, look at this prince,

Although the swordmaker didn't understand, he was inexplicably settled in his mind.

Immediately afterwards,

The prince sat down beside Xie Yu'an.

Xie Yu'an slightly moved away for a short distance, and then sank her buttocks down.

"You have a good father."

The prince said what Xie Yu'an said earlier.

"Yes, my lord." Xie Yu'an responded.

"I'm curious, did your father guess it early?"

"Humble position... I don't know."

Zheng Fan nodded and said with emotion: "It is one of the Four Pillar Kingdoms after all."

Xie Yu'an was a little dumbfounded, and deliberately revealed this dumbfounding expression:

"My lord, it seems inappropriate for you to say this."

After all, it is one of the Four Pillar Kingdoms. It sounds like a compliment to outsiders;

But the prince who has the heads of three Zhu Kingdoms in his hands said this... It sounds weird no matter what.

"This king has been thinking about one thing recently. It would be too arbitrary to judge success or failure based on life and death.

For example, Zeng and the king are tied for three,

The little prince of the barbarian, to be honest, I am not very interested in what happened to him in the desert, and I don’t know much about it, but I think it’s not a good thing, otherwise the old barbarian king would not push him at all superior;

It's a pity that he faced King Jingnan directly before showing his wings. "

No matter how proud Goshawk is, facing Lao Tian, ​​he will only end up with broken wings.

"Let's talk about Nian Yao..."

When talking about Nian Yao, the prince obviously glanced towards the city wall. It was no secret that there were Chu troops among the dry troops outside the city wall.

The allies who joined the army all the way before became the assistants of the army in an instant;

"Nian Yao first faced Shang Lao Tian several times, and was suppressed without temper. It was his big detour. If he hadn't come alone and put all his eggs in one basket, he would have done it.

Its fate will not be so miserable, let alone so ridiculous.

Finally, let's talk about Zhong Tianlang, he is subject to the military power of the Qian State, so he has never had a good opportunity to show himself, and he has been suppressed all the time.

On the surface, those three are no longer worthy of standing with Gu, but in fact, Gu may just be lucky. "

"My lord, you are too humble."

"Your father is the same." The prince said, "Your father is an old dog..."

It seems inappropriate to call someone an old dog in front of someone's son.

However, it depends on who said it.

Speaking of this title from other people, if Xie Yu'an doesn't express it, he is not worthy of being a son of man.

But now,

As long as the Jinghai City is not broken for a day, then the status of the regent will be far above that of a country that is down and out.

After all, Xie Zhuyang was still defeated by his subordinates, and he was chased almost to death by his two nephews.

"Old dog", with a bit of joking, but there is still affirmation in it, and even a little admiration in it.

Xie Yu'an knew that it was his father who was standing in front of him, and the regent yelled, "You old dog..."

I'm afraid it's his father, and he will think that his face is bright.

Status, reputation, strength, class, in essence, are still played out.

"Sometimes Gu will always be vigilant to himself, afraid that he will really be in a trance, and end up underestimating the heroes of this world."

"My lord..."

Xie Yu'an really didn't know how to respond to this flattery, because he could tell that the prince was expressing his feelings and was sincere.

But what he said so well was enough to make the heroes of the world ashamed.

Back then, almost everyone in the armies of various countries admired King Jingnan;

But now, it is no longer the era of King Jingnan, but the era of King Pingxi, the regent.

Even the Yan people themselves believed that the regent Wang Qing was better than Lan because of Lan, and that he was a military god who was better at fighting than King Jingnan.

The prince was silent for a while,

Everyone present, in this circle, also fell silent.

Although the swordmaker is still in a state of ignorance, he knows that after silence, there will be...a reward.

Xie Yu'an mentioned this point when he talked to himself earlier;

Moreover, his own reward, to be exact, Dugu's reward, has already been given.

So,

What about Xie Shi?

The prince said:

"Draw half of Chu Nan,

Xie,

Let's build a country. "

The swordmaker opened his eyes wide;

And Xie Yu'an, after a short moment of astonishment, immediately knelt down,

road:

"My lord, the Xie family will not establish a country."

"Uncle Gu's seat as the head of the Chu Kingdom, after Gu returns, he can't help but continue to sit down."

Uncle's back stabbing was a bit unnatural, and he had already broken through Zheng Fan's bottom line;

In the past, it was okay to talk about it, but this time, Zheng Fan took his son on the road together.

It is true that the prince is a slave to his daughter, but his son, although he is not considered a confidant, but as a father, he will not allow anyone to really dare to endanger his child.

Xie Yu'an swallowed,

Immediately said:

"The Lord of Chu rebelled against his lord, he shall be condemned!

I am Xie Shi,

It is a great honor to be appreciated and protected by the prince;

Don't dare to ask for God's grace. "

The prince smiled,

road:

"There is always a reward."

Xie's influence in Chu Nan is very large, one-third of Chu Nan is almost his Xie's private land;

Why didn't Zheng Fan take advantage of Shanggu County's victory and continue to use troops against Chu?

There are many reasons, but one of the most important ones is that I am afraid that my uncle will move to southern Chu with the capital and the court, so that the cavalry of Jindong and Dayan will have to soak in the mud and face the endless Endless corruption situation.

And once Chu Nan's head snake, Xie, decides to completely break up with the old Chu, then where else can the uncle... go?

Xie Yu'an's previous words were a promise to settle accounts with the ruler of Chu State Qiuhou, but...he rejected Jianguo.

"My lord has not established a country yet, I, Mrs. Xie, my father and son, how dare to overstep?

If the prince wants to support the Xie family,

What Xie asked for...

Only one love has become the prince's mansion. "

"Now, there is only one prince's mansion left." Zheng Fan reminded.

It was Zheng Fan himself who cut off his wings.

"Returning to the prince, the wealth and honor are endless, passed down from generation to generation, and it is already a great blessing."

"That's all, that's all, the palace is the palace, the lonely generation of Emperor Yan, and you are allowed to be a hereditary Xie family to seal the palace. In the future, you Xie family will inherit the responsibility of inheriting the Xiong family in Daxia, suppress Shanyue, and domesticate it into the world. summer."

"Sir, thank you!"

Xie Yu'an kowtowed.

At this time,

The sound of gongs, drums, whistles and arrows sounded again;

This means that this time, the dry man will attack again at dusk.

The prince smiled,

road:

"Eat a hot pot, the fire can't be overcooked, and the vegetables and meat are also overcooked.

pot,

already boiling...

it's time to,

Stretch your chopsticks. "

"My lord is wise, my lord is mighty, Ann, all five bodies fall to the ground."

Last time, Xie Yu'an was the governor of the Chu army and was personally defeated by Zheng Fan in Shanggu County;

This time, Xie Yu'an stood by Zheng Fan's side the whole time, but witnessed it with his own eyes, and then, was conquered again.

Zheng Fan waved his hand,

road:

"This is really not the king's back-hand. The reason why the king has not shown up these days is because the king is too lazy to pretend in front of you. If you don't know how to pretend to understand, it is actually quite tormenting."

"My lord, you..."

"It's really not self-effacing. It's not your father who sent the letter. I don't know where the breaking point comes from."

"How can this be……"

"Hehehe."

The prince stretched out his hand, patted Xie Yu'an's shoulder, and said:

"So, don't underestimate the heroes of this world.

Back then, this king led a lone army, penetrated thousands of miles into the Allied Army of Ye and Chu, captured the Xueguan Pass, and then gritted his teeth to defend it;

It should have been a near-death situation,

However, at that time, the king was really not panicked, but very down-to-earth. "

I have confidence in my heart, and I am sure that the one can see the situation clearly, and I am sure that the one can break the situation.

Xie Yu'an said, "That's because there was King Jingnan at that time."

"right."

"But now Prince Jingnan is gone..."

"But by Gu's side, there has always been someone. From the very beginning,

At once,

Not inferior to King Jingnan. "

...

On the winding mountain road, there are dense crowds of knights leading horses, and behind it, there is clearly a team of local Shanyue people organized to deliver military supplies.

Jin Shu took off his helmet and said in admiration:

"General, I thought that the mountain road would be difficult and it would take some time;

who ever imagined,

The mountain roads have been rested so smoothly, and each temporary camp has been set up in such a convenient and spacious way.

The most important thing is that in each camp, military supplies such as food and herbs are also placed.

Previously, Xie Zhuyang was the vanguard of our prince to open the way, but I really didn't expect that this road can be built so steadily and rigorously. It is also thanks to him that our army can stay here without being delayed. "

"Gold can."

"The end will be here."

"You never thought about it, then Xie Zhuyang may have expected it long ago, so he has already made arrangements."

"But General, you clearly said that the prince sent you to Lanyang City, and did not give you other orders. Since the prince didn't even give orders, how could Xie Zhuyang..."

"When you were looking at the city gate, who would have thought that you would become the right-hand man of King Regent of Dayan in the future?

Don't underestimate the heroes of this world.

As for the prince's arrangement for me...

Not because the prince has forgotten and neglected,

But because the prince knows,

There is no need to make too many arrangements for me. "

"The general is loyal to the prince, and the final general admires him."

Liang Cheng shook his head,

road:

"Changing the king's order without permission and deploying troops independently is a big taboo in the eyes of others. Even if you have merit, it is still a big mistake, and it is difficult to end well;

only,

Our lord knows,

You are good at gold, maybe you can rebel;

but I,

But it will never rebel against him. "

talking,

The two generals of the Eastern Jin Army walked up to the top of the mountain. After passing the mountain, the next step was the great plain east of the Qianjiang River in Qianguo.

Liang Cheng stood there,

Looking at the fog shrouded in the front,

closed eyes,

This big zombie who has always been used to being cold,

At this moment, it is rare to move,

He even sighed involuntarily:

"After waiting so long,

finally,

It's my turn. "
