After the battle in the royal capital, all the elites of the Gilded Kingdom were wiped out. Only five strong men in the Tianwu Realm such as War God Dragon and Tuoba Kuangfeng were left. Their strength plummeted. On the other hand, the Yunxiao Kingdom had assembled millions of troops and wanted to take advantage of the situation. They pursued and completely captured Jianshan. Unexpectedly, Qi Ying's betrayal and the words he shouted in public made the military morale in Yunxiao Kingdom unstable. Many generals from big families had no intention of fighting and wanted to return to their families quickly to avoid Cleaned out by Ji Yingou.
Ji Yingou never expected that Qi Ying's actions would lead to a series of reactions. He thought that Qi Wuwu and Chu He were dead, and the stubborn forces such as the seven aristocratic families would immediately surrender. However, the long-term dominance of the aristocratic families It is impossible to completely change their attitude for a while, and it is basically impossible to suddenly become a loyal family that only obeys the royal family's orders.
The attack on Jianshan was temporarily stopped. Ji Yin hooked up with the high-ranking officers who had returned from the front line in the capital, and wooed many of them, promising them great power and courtesy.
Gradually, many disagreements emerged within the seven aristocratic families. Not to mention the Yan family, which had always been loyal to the royal family. There were also different tendencies among the various aristocratic families. Some wanted to reach an appeasement agreement with the royal family. From then on, the seven aristocratic families no longer occupied it. There are too many military powers, and some insist on a tough stance and will never become a royal hawk.
Within the aristocratic families, different people have different positions, and each force is in chaos. Members take sides, and there are serious conflicts, such as the East and West courtyards of the Qi family, which were at war with each other as soon as they finished guarding Qi Xuwu's body. He belongs to the radical faction and is unwilling to succumb to Ji Yingou's threat, while Dongyuan has always been closer to the royal family and is eager to join the royalist camp immediately.
Especially after Qi Ying's rebellion, Qi Fanyun immediately brought dozens of Qi parents and elders to write to the court, quickly drawing a clear line with Qi Ying and expelling him from the Qi family forever. Qi Feng, Qi Wuxia and other younger generations all set their sights on eating meat. The oath of skin lists Qi Ying as a must-kill target for betraying his ancestors.
The announcement from the imperial court came soon. Ji Yingou revoked Qi Ying's title of "Champion Marquis" and deprived him of his position as the vanguard general of the Sixth Army. The Qi Tian Army was also disbanded. Each member was subject to isolation review and interrogation. A spy from the Gilded Kingdom.
The kingdom offered a reward, and whoever could take the heads of all the heroes would be appointed as the new "champion prince" and enjoy the title of ten thousand households. There was even a rumor in the market that if the new champion prince was a talented person from the younger generation, he would be Princess Ji Luoxue’s consort…
Qi Ying, the number one traitor in the history of the Yunxiao Kingdom, has a reputation that spreads to every corner of the kingdom.
Various aristocratic families, families, and officials, whether conservative or radical, wrote letters one after another, denouncing Qi Ying's crime of betraying his ancestors and deserving death... No matter what their stance was, everyone's choices were surprisingly consistent. After all, Ji Yingou was so powerful that no one dared to challenge him.
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine! I wonder what year it is today in the palace in the sky?"
The moonlight is like water, and it is the Full Moon Festival again. The year before, "When will the bright moon come" that was sung in the north and south of the kingdom is no longer sung by anyone. Overnight, Qi Ying turned into a pile of stinking shit that everyone despises, making Both these poems are counter-poems, counter-poems, and whoever dares to sing them will be guilty.
Yan Beigui wrote "When Will the Bright Moon Come" over and over again, tearing it up immediately after completing each copy. The yard was filled with light, all filled with the image of the bright moon reflected in the laws of literature and art.
I don’t know how many words I wrote, but Yan Beigui raised his head and sighed: "'I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that the high places will be too cold.'... It is something that others dare not do. Qi Ying, your courage, We can never catch up!"
Bah!
With the sound of the wine jar falling to the ground, Yan Shisan stood up unsteadily from the table, glanced at the paintings and calligraphy all over the room, and suddenly swept down all the calligraphy and paintings frantically and tore them into pieces. Looking at a roomful of falling confetti, Yan Shisan smiled sadly: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel... Not to mention how many legends you have killed, you have also forced out an eternal sinner! Qi Ying... I thought you could transform into... The dragon is the one who dominates the sky, but the dragon can rise and dive, but you have not lurked down. How can the dragon fly in the sky in the future? How can it be possible?! Hahaha!"
Yan Shisan was lying on the ground, crying and laughing, not knowing whether it was for Ji Yingou, Qi Ying, or for his own bleak life that started eighteen years ago.
Next to him, Hei Da stood quietly and suddenly said: "Master, you should believe him."
"Believe it? I'm tired. Hei Da... prepare a car for me and leave tomorrow... I don't want to stay in the capital, a place of right and wrong."
In a private room of a restaurant, Qin Mu and Qi Shun were lying on the table. Dozens of wine jars were lying on the floor. Qin Mu was drunk and unconscious, but Qi Shun picked up another jar of wine and put it in his mouth. He drank hard, and while he drank, he shouted vaguely: "Qi Ying, how I want to indulge like you, but I can't, I can't..."
In Qin's house, in a newly built Buddhist nunnery with red bricks and blue panels, the flickering lights dimmed, and a lonely figure put down her hands to unwind, and reached out to pick out the lanterns. The room was a little brighter. Qin Susu rubbed her fingers over an unfinished picture scroll and whispered: "I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and you will live up to your love..."
In the distant Yumen Pass, in Shuo Mo, a carriage was speeding on the way to the pass. The driver and the guard were both recently retired Lingwu realm masters. They did not know the specific identity of their employer, only that they knew what was inside the carriage. This woman is extremely wealthy, and every time she makes a move, she is extremely generous. She always wears a red veil. Maybe she is the concubine that a certain general at the border wants to send home
There was a flute sound coming from the carriage, which was a little sad. The coachman and the bodyguard couldn't help but frown when they heard the sound. The bodyguard turned to face the car and said, "Madam, this song "When Will the Bright Moon Come" is already banned. If someone hears it and reports it, he will be jailed!"
Only then did the sound of the flute stop. Qin Nongyu opened the curtain on the car window, looked at the bright moon, and sighed: "So you are him, you really are him... I seem to know it is too late... "
…
"Lord Yuxuan, we're here."
Qi Yuheng ordered the black griffon to land, and helped a woman in white clothes and snow-capped eyes come down from the back of the griffin. This is a wasteland in the east of the Yunxiao Kingdom. Under the moonlight, one can see the gravel and gravel on the ground, which is several hundred feet in diameter. They all have the same appearance.
"Are all the formations and formations ready?"
"It's all together. The old man got the Evergreen Pill from the Inspector, as well as two other things that have been lacking. Yesterday, several formation masters finally completed it... It's a pity that it was a little late..."
"It's not too late. We just need to get there before that person."
"Master Qiying, he..."
"His path is his own. I created him not to cultivate a tool, but to give birth to a hope."
