Three hours later, in the Epang Palace.
The troops and generals who had withdrawn from Chang'an had already quarreled, the capital suddenly changed, the emperor fell into his hands, and Wang Ziye took Fu Jian and Princess Qinghe hostage.
Fu Rong, Murong Chui, Yao Chang, and Fu Jian's son, Fu Pi, quarreled fiercely in the main hall of Epang Palace. The prince appointed by Fu Jian was the eldest son of his cousin. He was not in Chang'an at this time. The incident happened suddenly, and the generals were even without a leader, and he didn't know who to listen to.
"Where's Tuoba Yan?!" Murong Chui was furious, "The commander of the Imperial Guard turned a deaf ear when the incident happened, and even His Majesty was arrested! He must be beheaded to apologize!"
Fu Pi said, "His Majesty ordered him to lead the army to pacify the chaos. How can you know that he is a demon? I'll just say that the Han people don't have any good things!"
A group of Han ministers stood in the hall, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Fu Jian had always trusted Wang Ziye, but this time it was Wang Ziye who rebelled. After Wang Meng died, Wang Ziye was the leader of the Qin court. Fu Jian was fine, but the entire court was thrown into chaos.
While they were arguing, footsteps came from outside the hall.
"Da Chanyu arrives—" the chamberlain said loudly.
The whole hall was silent. Xiang Shu was covered in blood. When he came in, he threw his helmet on the ground. With a sound of "dang", he walked past the hall in front of everyone, walked up the stairs, and sat in the main hall of the Epang Palace. on the throne.
Everyone: "… "
Xiang Shu: "After all, report the situation."
In an instant, the people in Qin Ting realized a serious problem. Fu Jian was arrested, but Shulukong happened to be in Chang'an. In name, this fellow was a big danyu of the Hu people. He said that as long as he was a member of the Chile Ancient League whose ancestors participated in the bloodshed, he had to listen to him. At this moment, Xiang's statement could completely replace Fu Jian and temporarily exercise the responsibility of the emperor.
"What?" Xiang Shu said solemnly, "Have any opinions?"
Everyone has you look at me, I look at you. Fu Rong knew about the relationship between Xiang Shu and Fu Jian, and he wanted to say that he would not be able to covet Fu Jian's throne, so he stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Da Shanyu, all the troops have been withdrawn, and the people of the city have settled down on the west bank of the Zao River. "
"Where's the prince?" Xiang Shu asked.
"I have already sent people to go to the East China Sea to inform me." Yao Chang stepped out and bowed.
Xiang Shu asked again, "Where is Murong Chong?"
Murong Chui was silent, Xiang Shu frowned and said, "Murong Chui, you can't speak?"
Seeing this, Murong Chui had no choice but to step forward and reply, "Murong Chong is on his way, and he wants to come tomorrow evening."
Xiang Shu sensed something was wrong from this brief hesitation, but did not pursue further questions. The accident happened last night, and Murong Chong came from Pingyang. It would take three days at the earliest. The difference in the speed of this day must have been notified to him in advance. . There was no chaos at that time, and since it was notified in advance, it was not difficult to guess what the Murong family wanted to do.
"Murong Chui led the troops to guard the four gates of Chang'an," Xiang Shu said, "to prevent the living corpses from escaping."
"Yes." Murong Chui said.
Xiang Shu also said: "Yao Chang and Fu Rong have assembled their army, waiting for the king's order to attack from the south gate, west gate, and north gate, and after the prince has been executed at night, they will attack the imperial city from three directions, leaving one exit, and attacking the imperial city from three directions. The monsters are driven out to the Zaohe Plain for a decisive battle."
"Yes." Yu Ren said.
Xiang Shu: "For the rest, call out the kerosene and projectors in the Epang Palace to form a defense line and wait for Murong Chong's reinforcements... Are you done?"
Chen Xing came, holding a cloth full of blood in his hand, and was a little breathless from exhaustion.
"Take a break." Xiang Shu said.
Chen Xing waved his hand and replied, "I'll leave after speaking, my lords..."
Chen Xing turned to the crowd and looked at Xiang Shu again, a little hesitant.
"Do you really want to say it?" Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu frowned impatiently: "If you want to say it, you can say it."
Chen Xing had to describe the whole process in detail. There was silence in the hall. After speaking, Chen Xing suddenly remembered something very serious.
"Princess Qinghe..." Yao Chang was frightened after hearing the inside story, and looked at Murong Chui, who had a dark face and said, "Blood! Where's the evidence!?"
"King Gu is the witness." Xiang Shu replied lightly, "If you don't believe it, after Qinghe gets out of trouble, you can face her face to face. However, Jiantou must have already known about this."
"This..." Fu Rong suddenly realized that something was wrong, wasn't this forcing Murong Chui back? This matter is no trivial matter. To clarify Wang Ziye's arrangement is to tell everyone that Princess Qinghe also participated in the plot to reclaim the country, and the Murong family cannot escape the guilt. Although most of the DPRK and China believe that the Murong family is conspiring, once the truth is revealed, what other choice does Murong Chui have
After listening, Xiang Shu waved to Chen Xing and motioned for him to come over.
Chen Xing walked down the steps.
Item states: "Come closer."
Chen Xing: "???"
Chen Xing then went up a level again.
"Come to the lonely king!" Xiang Shu said impatiently, "I won't eat you again, so what are you afraid of?"
Everyone: "… "
All the officials in the hall were looking at Murong Chui's face, and for a moment he didn't know how he would decide whether to draw his sword and throw it on the ground, shouting "I'm back! There was no sign of Xiang Shu, and he flirted with a Han man in the hall.
What is this all about
"Oh... oh." Chen Xing came to Xiang Shu.
Xiang Shu was impatient, took Chen Xing's hand, and showed the ring on Chen Xing's hand to the ministers.
"Recognize the signet ring?" Xiang Shu said impatiently.
Everyone bowed their heads.
"The Lonely King has the power to pardon," Xiang said, "to pardon Murong's Princess Qinghe."
All the officials in the imperial court heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. It was too late to think about why a Han man was wearing a big Chanyu ring.
"And the Feng family and Feng Qianyi will be pardoned," Xiang Shu added. "The crime of rebellion between the two of them will be written off in one lump sum. Afterwards, they cannot be investigated for liquidation again, and they cannot spread rumors to stir up trouble.
Chen Xing thought that the person who was betrayed was not you. Fu Jian would probably be pissed off by you when he came out, but forget it, he should be unlucky.
In this way, except for Wang Ziye, the mastermind, the Feng family and Princess Qinghe are all safe. Everyone knows that there is no way out of this, otherwise, once it is liquidated, it will only turn against the Murong Clan.
Chen Xing couldn't help but peek at Xiang Shu, who was covered in black blood and dirty armor, with a little admiration in his eyes, thinking that it would be good for this guy to be the emperor.
Xiang Shu said again: "That's it, let's go. What else do you want to do?"
"I'm going to see Tuoba Yan," Chen Xing replied, "he's injured."
"I'll go with you." Xiang Shu got up from the throne and left the hall with Chen Xing in front of everyone.
At dusk that day, Tuoba Yan was lying in the room, Xie An, Xiao Shan and Feng Qianjun were watching, Xiao Shan was still holding Chen Xing's dog.
On the other couch, lay the unconscious Feng Qianyi.
Tuoba Yan's chest was opened with blood by King Jin, from under the ribs to the navel. Xiao Shan helped him hold down his wound. Chen Xing sewed stitches for him.
Xiang Shu watched from the side, fortunately the injury was not serious, but there was a very faint black qi from the wound. However, Chen Xing's hand was flickering with the light of the heart lamp, he stopped the bleeding, and sutured wherever he went, the resentment dissipated by itself under the heart lamp, and the dark wound gradually returned to red.
"Okay." Chen Xing asked Tuoba Yan to take the blood-activating and muscle-building pills again, and said, "You have to take a good rest and don't move."
Tuoba Yan's face was bloodless and weak, and fell asleep on the couch.
Chen Xing wiped his sweat. This is the first few patients he has seen today. Since arriving at the Epang Palace, he has been running around the barracks non-stop, checking all the soldiers and civilians who were bitten and scratched by the scorpion. .
Fortunately, after the group was released this time, they gathered in front of the palace for the first time, and did not bite mortals everywhere. When the people of Chang'an saw the monster, they ran away immediately, and the army immediately evacuated.
Only Tuoba Yan led the imperial army and stormed the palace desperately, trying to get Fu Jian back, but he was seriously injured. Others, such as the family soldiers led by the Murong Clan, almost all retreated as soon as they could, and they escaped faster than anyone else. Even Fu Rong had to save his life.
"Still so stubborn," Chen Xing said helplessly, "Tuoba Yan sometimes acts like a fool."
"How many people have you treated?" Xie An said, "Little Junior Brother, you can take a break too."
Chen Xing was really tired. The resurrection of Wanfa provided a powerful spiritual energy for the heart lamp, but it also consumed his mind more than before. He wiped off his sweat, sat on the couch, and said, "I need to rest for a while. Tired, really tired."
As he spoke, he touched the puppy, leaned beside Xiang Shu, and fell asleep just sitting there.
Item description: "… "
Everyone: "… "
So everyone just sat in the room and looked at each other.
"That..." Feng Qianjun said after taking care of his brother, "Let me introduce you. This is... little brother Xiao Shan, an old acquaintance of ours, who is here to exorcise the devil."
Xiao Shan: "?"
Feng Qianjun kept winking at Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan was inexplicable, looked at Xie An with an inquiring look, then looked at Feng Qianjun, Feng Qianjun squeezed his eyes, Xiao Shan seemed to understand but nodded.
Xie An saw that Xiang Shu didn't remember the past, nodded and said, "My name is Xie Shi."
Xiang Shu's expression clearly felt that the two of them knew each other, but he really couldn't remember where they met, so he could only say: "Since it's an old acquaintance of Chen Xing, please kneel down and stay when you go out, just say my order. Let Chen Xing first. Xing, rest for a while." But after thinking about it, it was wrong, there were Tuoba Yan and Feng Qianyi in the room, so he hugged Chen Xing and found a place to settle Chen Xing by himself.
After Xiang Shu left, Feng Qianjun exchanged information with Xie An and Xiao Shan, Feng Qianjun said, "I'm still afraid it's a dream until now, shouldn't it be... I heard that before a person dies, things in his life will be like It's like a revolving lantern, you see, Xiao Shan or you, Fu Jian, my eldest brother, and Tuoba Yan have all seen it before."
"This scene," Feng Qianjun was full of doubts, motioned Xie An to look around the palace, "Do you think it looks like a revolving lantern?"
Xie An said: "Qianjun, you are just tired and dazzled, just take a rest. I also suspected it, but did you find out? There is one thing that proves that we are not dreaming, but really returned to three years ago. ."
Xiao Shan: "?"
Xie An smiled slyly and said, "Have you seen the human form of that phoenix? As a demon king, there should always be a human form? Even if there is no form, have you seen a phoenix? Do you know what a phoenix looks like? What we saw Phoenix, is it the same?"
Feng Qianjun was suddenly awakened by Xie An. It was indeed the case. If all this was just an illusion before death, then it would definitely be a repeat of a past life. All the retrospectives would be of the people in memory, with their appearance or vagueness. But only what the phoenix looks like, they have never seen it before!
"I've seen his human form!" Feng Qianjun was finally certain that this was not an illusion.
Xie An nodded and said, "This time, Wang Ziye got Fu Rushan first, but it was very tricky. We had to find a way to get it back and return it to the Martial God to break the last link in the battle of Feishui. "
Feng Qianjun heard Chen Xing talk about the altar on the battlefield, and murmured, "Only Brother Xiang knows the entrance to the Magic Magic Palace, but why did he forget all about it?"
Xie An said: "It doesn't matter. Before I came, I had arranged for people to go to Feishui and dig into the ground within a few miles of the battlefield. As long as you have patience, you can dig it for two or three years and you can always dig it out."
Feng Qianjun did not expect such a stupid method, so he nodded.
Xiao Shan added: "When I go back and save Lu Ying, Lu Ying said that he may have some ways to help Chen Xing."
The landscape in the garden is picturesque, the courtyard is full of greenery in summer, and the wind chimes under the corridor are gently ringing in the wind. It seems to be separated from the resentful Chang'an by a wall, so it has become a paradise.
Chen Xing slept darkly, got up from the bed and yawned.
"I thought you wouldn't wake up." Xiang Shu was sitting outside, wearing a single shirt, playing the qin in front of the bright sunshine and the picturesque scenery in the courtyard.
Chen Xing was startled: "How long have I slept? Where is this?"
Chen Xing himself was a little scared. Thinking of the last three months, could it be that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction, Chang'an had already fallen, and they had arrived in Jiangnan? !
"One night," Xiang Shu replied, "while still in the Epang Palace, Feng Qianyi and the dog sent them out ahead of time, lest they come back to reconcile their old accounts."
Chen Xing almost collapsed from fright as soon as he woke up, but fortunately, he should just be tired.
"You saved more than a thousand people?" Xiang Shu said in disbelief.
On the day of withdrawing to the Epang Palace, Chen Xing saw that some civilians and soldiers of the Imperial Army were scratched and bitten, so he stayed to dispel their grievances, and unknowingly, he treated more than a thousand people. What makes him most happy is that after the resurrection of the ten thousand methods, the heart lamp has been able to use the power of heaven and earth to cleanse the wounds of the wounded, that is to say, there is no need to be afraid of someone's corpse.
Chen Xing looked blank and didn't count, and said, "What about now? What should I do?"
"Da Chanyu," several guards came over and said, "Your armor."
Xiang Shu then put down the qin and got up, saying, "Your senior brother volunteered and asked to go to Yizi Ziye, and Feng Qianjun also wanted to rescue Princess Qinghe."
Chen Xing said: "The matter is definitely much more serious than they thought, and it has to be discussed first."
Now that Wang Ziye has occupied the palace, he is still holding Fu Jian and Princess Qinghe as hostages. Xiang Shu has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, surrounded Chang'an, but there is nothing he can do. He must rescue the hostages first, and let Fu Jian do the rest. You can do it yourself.
Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing and suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.
Xiang Shu looked puzzled, as if thinking, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Chen Xing: "???"
Chen Xing wondered if Xiang Shu remembered something. In fact, since seeing him again, Xiang Shu would show this expression from time to time, as if immersed in memories.
After changing his clothes, Chen Xing quickly walked up to the heights of Epang Palace, and looked at Chang'an with everyone, only to see Weiyang Palace, dozens of miles away, shrouded in a black spherical barrier, and cloudy.
"It's really difficult," Chen Xing said with a frown. "It's a defensive wall that can't be used like a mountain."
These defensive walls, which were also called "enchantments" in the previous dynasty, were created by the power of the magic weapon itself. Prince Yelai used this defensive wall to surround the resentment inside; secondly, it blocked the mortals outside and made them unable to enter.
Phoenix flew over, stopped on the roof, and said, "Do you want to help?"
Xiang Shu: "Who is talking?"
"I don't need it for now." Chen Xing still had ideas about his last wish, but he couldn't just use it up so easily, so he explained to Xiang Shu: "This is a... uh, a demon king."
"Can you show me in human form?" Xie An said politely.
"You ask Chen Xing to mention it," Fenghuang said, "I will agree to whatever he says."
Item description: "… "
Xiang Shu looked at the phoenix with a dangerous expression, and Chen Xing quickly explained: "It's not what you think, forget it, I'll explain it to you when I'm free."
Tuoba Yan pressed the wound and reluctantly came up, while Feng Qianjun hurriedly supported him.
"I tried it," Tuoba Yan said. "The black wall is very dangerous, and there are monsters guarding it."
"Hmm..." Chen Xing was frowning and thinking, his thoughts were spinning, how to untie this defensive wall, today he had to disperse Wang Ziye no matter what, it was too long to bear him.
Xie An thought for a while, and said, "It stands to reason that this defensive wall, as long as it is attacked violently, will naturally disintegrate after the resentment inside is exhausted."
"It's not that easy," Chen Xing said. "Zhang Liu once set up a barrier in the Yin-Yang Mirror with immobility like a mountain. For hundreds of years, even the corpse can't break it."
"What is immovable like a mountain?" Xiang Shu suddenly felt that the name seemed familiar.
"It was supposed to be your sword," Chen Xing said, "now it's in Wang Ziye's hands."
Xie An said, "How did you get in last time?"
In the last match against Feng Qianyi, there was no defensive wall in the Weiyang Palace. At that time, Chen Xing used the Yin-Yang Double Mirror to enter and exit the Weiyang Palace. Now the Yin-Yang Mirror is also destroyed, which is really a headache.
"Is there any way," Chen Xing murmured, "to deceive this defensive wall and go in and get Fu Jian and Princess Qinghe away? How did Wang Ziye deceive Fu Rushan and pick it up? Definitely There is a way... Yes! Where's Sima Wei?! Quick! Get Sima Wei!"
In the evening of the same day, a group of people still gathered in Songshan, constantly approaching Weiyang Palace.
Xie An sighed: "Little Junior Brother is really smart."
"Shh." Chen Xing was very nervous, looking at the black figure of Weiyang Palace that was constantly approaching the end of Chang'an Avenue.
"It's not necessarily successful." Chen Xing whispered.
Xiang Shu said: "Once it disintegrates later, Chen Xing and I will be in charge of Kyella, and you will deal with the army."
Chen Xing nodded, looked up at Xiang Shu, Xiang Shu patted the back of his hand, and the two held hands together.
Chen Xing's hand glowed with light, and he injected Xiang Shu's body along the meridian of his right hand, until his heart meridian radiated bright light.
"Grab Wang Ziye's spear first," Chen Xing urged, "Recover your magic weapon, this is the most important thing."
Xiang Shu nodded.
Sima Wei carried Feng Qianjun's vast array of things on his back, lined up the bustling crowds along the way, walked towards the defensive wall, passed through without hindrance, and then went straight to the depths of Weiyang Palace.
On the platform of Weiyang Palace, a pitch-black magic spear was placed in the center. Resentment surged around. The blood-red runes on the spear flickered and spread out in circles, forming an indestructible defensive array like waves .
Wang Ziye and Fu Jian stood in front of the high platform, and Fu Jian looked at the densely packed living dead in the palace.
Prince Ye: "Death will never end in the world. Just look at it, Your Majesty. These soldiers led you in their lifetime, and they will fight for you after they die."
Five kings surrounded the high platform, Wang Ziye approached them, took off the helmet of one of them, and motioned to Fu Jian to take a look.
"Your Majesty, how different is it between their life and after death?"
Fu Jian said coldly, "Fair talk, Wang Ziye, you are just trying to lure me into drinking your poison and become a living dead at your mercy!"
Wang Ziye smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well look at me, and look at them again. I have lived for thousands of years, and between the world, do you think that I am controlled by someone?"
Fu Jian was startled, and Wang Ziye said: "If the blood of the demon gods is forced to drink it, that's right, it will make him a walking corpse, and he will no longer have his own consciousness. You must be willing to dedicate your life to my lord. , my lord will help you live forever and be at ease, just like I am now."
"...Otherwise, your life is now in my hands," Wang Ziye sneered, "why should I tell you such nonsense?"
Princess Qinghe was beside him, looking at Wang Ziye in surprise.
Wang Ziye: "As long as you nod your head, my lord will give you an army that will never be used up and give you immortality."
