Eastern Chu
wishful city
The Eastern Chu Palace was built on the mountainside, and the huge palace buildings are quite different from the construction of the cities in the Central Plains. The biggest feature of the construction of Chang'an City is the city wall, which is so tall that people have a sense of powerlessness that cannot be overcome. There is nothing new in the construction of the city. It is planned out like tofu blocks, and it looks a bit monotonous. After walking a few streets, basically you will not see any changes.
The construction of Ruyi City is planned according to the mountain situation, and the most majestic is the imperial palace. This imperial palace is very different from the imperial palace in the Central Plains people's impression. The Taiji Palace in Chang'an City is a huge building complex, but it is also a series of halls. And the palace of Ruyi City is a whole castle, very tall.
Because Eastern Chu is not short of money, the cost of building this palace is definitely no less than what the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty spent on building the Chang'an City Wall.
Especially the bedroom of the Eastern Chu Emperor, which was very specially built. Although this palace is part of the castle, it is built according to a large protruding boulder on the mountainside. One side of the bedroom is open, and the side of the bedroom that is tens of meters long uses a folding partition door. Just like a fan, it can be closed at night and opened during the day to see the endless sea below the mountain.
A platform was built outside the gate, with a radius of more than 30 meters. Standing on this platform, you can have a panoramic view of most of Ruyi City. Looking into the distance, it is the seascape with thousands of sails.
The bedroom is built of marble, and the interior decoration is extraordinarily luxurious. As the richest royal family in the world, naturally they will not be stingy with spending money to build the most beautiful and comfortable palace. The Eastern Chu royal family was originally surnamed Chu, which is rare. Since ancient times, very few country titles have been named after royal surnames. Throughout the ages, only Eastern Chu and Nanchen are like this. And these two countries also have one thing in common, that is, they have almost never won foreign wars.
"Very comfortable."
When Lehman walked out of the bedroom wearing silk pajamas and barefoot, he couldn't help stretching his arms and moaning. Two Opulu girls in long milky white dresses slowly pushed open the folding door, and the refreshing sea breeze poured into the bedroom, making everyone feel refreshed.
Lyman walked barefoot on the marble floor to the platform overlooking the sea.
"The emperor of Eastern Chu is the most enjoyable person in the world."
He smiled and waved, and the two Opuru girls came over immediately, one by one on each side of him. The sea breeze blows away his satin pajamas, and there seems to be something very special on his furry chest. Lyman arranged his pajamas to block the place where there seemed to be a big black birthmark on his palm.
"what is that?"
One of the Opuru girls curiously raised her beautiful hand to touch that place, but was frightened by Leman's eyes so that her hand froze halfway. Lyman looked at her and said in a very low voice but very coldly: "There are no outsiders here, so I will let you off once... Have you forgotten what I said? I will chop off the hand of anyone who touches here."
The Opuru girl was so frightened that she wanted to withdraw her hand but didn't dare, her face turned pale in an instant. She knew that every word of the great Emperor Lehman was unquestionable, and in the Opru Empire, the words of Emperor Lehman were God's orders. She knew better about the cruelty of Emperor Leman, and the number of people killed by him may not be counted.
This huge empire is completely in his own hands.
"Don't forget next time."
Lyman kissed the girl on the face, and opened his arms as if to embrace the entire sea.
At this moment, a few black things suddenly flew up from the cliff below the platform, and clattered onto the platform. Laiman's eyes changed, and he motioned for the two Opulu girls to go back to the dormitory. Flying up were a few steel claws, buckled on the edge of the platform, followed by four or five assassins in black outfits quickly climbing up along the ropes of the flying claws.
The palace was built halfway up the mountain, and the sleeping hall was built on the side of the cliff, and the cliff was below the platform, so it was impossible for even a great practitioner to climb up on foot. So if you want to go to the bedroom, you must rely on tools. Obviously, these assassins came prepared. Know that on this side of the cliff, there will never be guards.
"here we go again… "
Lyman seemed a little impatient. He looked at the black-clothed assassins and asked in the already fluent Eastern Chu language: "You have already given up your dignity and fled. The emperor can only use this method to recover from failure? If it is my The country has been destroyed, and I will never let my loyal warriors use this kind of suicide attack to do meaningless things. I will keep them, fight with me, and prepare to rise again."
There is no doubt that this is an absolute genius.
When he arrived in Muping, he began to learn Chinese, and when he arrived in Dongchu, he began to learn Dongchu dialect. And it didn't take long for them to express their thoughts almost fluently, but the tongue was a little stiff, so it sounded a little strange.
"Foreign boy, I want you to die today!"
One of the assassins let out a low cry, jumped up in the air, and the long knife in his hand drew a sword-like light in the air, and a knife several meters long slashed down, towards the top of Lyman's head. fall. This assassin's cultivation base is not bad, his blade is fierce, and his speed is extremely fast.
But just when the saber energy reached about two meters in front of Lehman, it suddenly disappeared.
Nothing at all.
It was as if there was a gate of void two meters away from Layman's body. The saber energy got into the gate and went to another world, disappearing without a trace. The assassin was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he slashed again, this time with a heavier cultivation level, the aura of the knife almost materialized, and it came in an instant.
But
The saber energy disappeared about two meters in front of Layman, but Layman was still standing there lazily, without any reaction.
"How can this be?!"
The assassin exclaimed, and looked at Leman in disbelief.
"Let's do it together!"
Four or five assassins shot at the same time, and the power of cultivation violently bombarded Layman, but without exception, all the attacks disappeared without a trace two meters in front of Layman. No matter how those assassins shot, they didn't hurt Lehman in the slightest.
"I am the child of the gods."
Lyman opened his arms, looked at the assassins and said proudly: "The gods gave me a body that will never be killed. Even if you try your best, it won't help. The gods in the sky let me rule this world. It is the will of God, and no one can defy it. If you are willing to submit to my feet, I will spare you from death. Stop being obsessed and tell me that you are willing to submit."
Several assassins looked at each other, no one knew what was the reason!
At this moment, countless guards rushed out from the bedroom, raised their muskets and aimed at the assassins.
"Let's go, this person is too evil! Think about the countermeasures before killing him!"
The leading assassin yelled, and turned around to grab the rope and prepare to jump off. One of the assassins stood in front of everyone, with his hands open, and a powerful inner strength was displayed immediately. At this moment, the musket rang out. The assassin was obviously prepared to withstand the bullets of the musket. The broken person has the strongest inner strength, so he stayed to block the bullet. Before they came here, they had specially experimented. They shot at this person with muskets, but they were blocked by their inner strength and could not hurt anyone at all.
So almost none of them cared about those musketeers, and turned to leave.
But
At this time, the weird happened again.
As the guns rang out, the remaining assassins were sieved almost instantly. Blood mist exploded on his body, and the bullets left blood holes one after another on his body. And that majestic inner strength has no effect on the bullets at all!
Those bullets easily passed through the wall made of inner strength, and killed the person behind him!
The assassin's eyes were wide open, looking at those musketeers in disbelief. After shaking his body a few times, he slowly descended, so unwilling to die. As the muskets continued to swallow flames, the remaining assassins were thrown off defenselessly, and the blood mist exploded, and the practitioner's body and internal strength could not stop the bullets.
The leading assassin was hit in the chest, blood flowed out from the wound, and also rushed up his throat. He lay on the ground, raised his head and looked at Leman with difficulty: "This...why on earth..."
Lyman seemed too lazy to look at these people again, and glanced back at the guards: "Arrest all the guards at the bottom of the mountain, they are not worthy of wearing the guard uniforms I gave them, pull out their uniforms, and throw them all away." Go into the ocean and feed the sharks, if you can’t find any sharks, feed them to the dogs.”
He turned around and walked slowly back to the bedroom.
The guards stepped forward and dragged the dead bodies down.
Lyman walked into the dormitory and stopped in front of the huge bronze mirror. He parted his pajamas, revealing the palm-sized black mark on his chest. It was so black, it looked like a large piece of dead skin. The difference is that this black is not only not dead, but exudes a very strange brilliance.
He stretched out his hand to pick up a gold cup from the table, drank the wine in it, inserted his palm into it, and he kneaded the wine cup into a golden bump. Looking at the muscles in his arms, Lehman couldn't help laughing: "It's really good to change."
…
…
On the western border of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, there is a small village called Xiufeng. Deep in Xiufeng Mountain, it is a place that is almost isolated from the world. The people in this village are very simple and live a very simple life. The villagers hunt in the mountains during the day or grow some food on small plots of land, and go home to sleep when it gets dark. In Eastern Chu with such a serious commercial atmosphere, the existence of this small village seems so different.
However, it was precisely because of the existence of this small village that Chu Juzheng, the emperor of Chu, was able to avoid being hunted down. In fact, there are at least 20 such small villages in Chu, and these villagers are not ordinary villagers, but the refuges prepared by the Eastern Chu royal family in order to cope with the crisis that may come one day. These villagers have lived in such a small village from generation to generation, not caring about world affairs, just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor who will suddenly come one day.
East Chu's business is so developed that the news is too well-informed. Therefore, the emperor of Eastern Chu secretly prepared such a refuge in the country a long time ago, and no one knew about it.
"Your Majesty... I really didn't expect my minister to wait for you."
The village head is an old man in his sixties, with sad eyes: "My grandparents and fathers did not wait for the emperor, and they were very happy when they left. But when I waited for you, there is only pain in my heart and no joy in my heart."
Chu Juzheng smiled bitterly: "I also thought that I would never need you..."
"The border has been closed."
The leader of the guards, Tan Wenyao, said angrily: "I never imagined that the border guards would be bribed! These damned scum, sooner or later, I will cut off their heads with my own hands!"
"Twelve generals, nine of them surrendered without a fight. I didn't even realize that the foreigners did so many things secretly. Over the years, the trade exchanges with foreigners have become more and more frequent. I thought it was a good thing...but I didn't expect that, This is what people have planned for a long time. I am a failed emperor, and most of my courtiers have become other people's courtiers, but I didn't even notice it!"
"It's His Majesty who trusts those people too much!"
Tan Wenyao said: "Your Majesty handed over all matters related to foreign trade to the prime minister, but the prime minister has become a traitor!"
"I used the wrong person!"
Chu Juzheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hundreds of years of foundation have been buried in my hands, what face do I have to meet my ancestors?"
"His Majesty."
The village chief advised: "As long as your Majesty is still alive, there is a chance. Although the border is closed, only we who guard the mountain know the way to the back mountain. When we reach the back mountain, there is a narrow gap across the entire mountain range. After passing through a mountain forest, we can see the Phoenix Terrace of the Sui Kingdom."
"I really can't think of it!"
Chu Juzheng said sadly: "One day, I will go to seek refuge with the Sui people! And the only hope of restoring the country lies with the Sui people!"
