In the eyes of the people in Wangdu, other races are nothing special, really nothing special.
Flying dragons are used as the king's car, murlocs beat drums and gongs, and Miss Elf softly plays the harp.
None of them are dangerous.
Anyone who has fought on the border knows that aliens are difficult to deal with. Especially when fighting with the Sixth Clan, even with the support of the National Defense Array, the war will often be very difficult. The tyrannical iron fists of the giants can often directly smash the human army, and the flames spit out by the dragons can burn people together with the steel armor on their bodies. The number and strength of the demons are quite difficult to deal with. The elves can use powerful magic to divide the human lineup into a mess. No matter which side you fight against, humans are often in a weak position from the beginning.
But because most of the human territories are in peace all year round, most people have never experienced the sense of despair brought about by this power gap.
But it only takes one night to give them a taste of this fear.
The dragon being used as a mount raised its head and roared. Changing his docile appearance, his red eyes were fixed on the night sky. The chains that bound them were torn off abruptly, and the guarding army couldn't control them at all. The powerful wings swept all the wooden stakes into pieces in an instant, and the dragon claws grabbed and threw the soldiers holding the spears. Fall, watching them fall to pieces.
Disaster struck.
The absolute power wiped out all the resistance forces in the capital in an instant. Of course, it was also related to the fact that there were too few resistance forces left in the capital. Jin Yiwei and the imperial guards gave priority to protecting the king's safety. Under such circumstances, they dared not divide their troops at all and could only escort the king to escape. The dragons in Tiance Mansion have no leader, and they can't organize an effective resistance at all. In addition, a large part of the army under the command of ten ministers and ten generals has gone to Tianyue Mountain, and the current king's capital is the weakest point.
The dragon's sharp claws trampled on the houses randomly, and the flames turned the bustling buildings into a sea of flames.
It's like a simple game for them.
Those who struggle between life and death look so ridiculous to them.
Not even an iota of sympathy, just plain funny.
How weak, human.
How incompetent, human.
How vulnerable, human.
There are no cold and heat-resistant scales covering the whole body, no high-temperature flames that are indiscriminately attracted, no wings to soar into the sky, no eyes that can see clearly in the dark night, nothing. But the only thing he has is a head full of arrogant and conceited thoughts, and a despicable heart that betrays his compatriots.
Oh, yes, when it comes to despicable hearts, you have to mention King Xi.
The old king refused to deal with his son, and Xi Wang escaped by pretending to be crazy. But this kind of kindness has no effect, it will only lead to bitter fruit later.
On New Year's Eve, King Xi begged to see the king, and confessed his mistakes tearfully, even the king couldn't help being moved by it—this is his own son, even if there are thousands of mistakes, as long as he is willing to repent, the king will give him this opportunity.
But on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, if King Xi was not eliminated, the rest would naturally be unavoidable.
On this day, King Xi made a toast to the king for the first time.
After drinking a glass of wine, the king's eyes were white, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose. The king was unconscious and unable to give any orders, and Xi Wang threatened his own father's life to further negotiate with the core members of Jin Yiwei. The people in Jinyiwei just wanted to get the antidote quickly, and ignored King Xi's modest demands.
Non-excessive requirements include:
First of all, you can't reveal a little bit of wind to the outside world, and all claim that the king was assassinated.
Secondly, quickly investigate the murderer and tell the guards that the king's life and death are at stake now. If the murderer cannot be found, His Majesty will be furious, and I am afraid that nothing can be done.
Jin Yiwei present nodded in agreement.
Their ideas are also very simple, Xi Wang has no power in the capital, at most, he can only control the situation by threatening the king's life. But if it continues to drag on, either King Xi will come up with an antidote, or His Majesty the King will be doomed.
No matter what the result is, Jin Yiwei present can quickly control King Xi and take him on a mission. It is best for the king to live, and if he dies, the king will take this position instead.
Afterwards, King Xi made the last request—to identify the murderer as Jin Ling.
Because Jin Ling helped Wumi investigate the case of the 300,000 disaster victims in Tianyue Mountain, he was on the opposite side of King Xi, so the people in Jin Yiwei only thought that he was out of revenge and didn't think much about it. Little did they know that after Jin Ling was imprisoned, the cronies of Prince Xi secretly sabotaged the formation and let foreign aid into the arena. King Xi did hand over the antidote, but the giant dragon that arrived in an instant caught everyone present off guard, and Jin Yiwei and others could only flee with the king hastily.
Get as far away as possible.
It doesn't matter if the king's capital is destroyed, as long as the king is still alive, the royal family will not fall.
Because he is the King of Eternal Heaven.
King Xi didn't care about it either, he put on a brand new robe, held the scepter, and walked towards the resplendent throne.
Scenes of making compromises over the years came to his mind.
"His Royal Highness Xiwang, His Royal Highness Xiwang...!"
He silently recited this title, and suddenly covered his face, smiling palely:
"In these years, no one has regarded me as your highness!! It's just a few hours later than that useless brother, just a few hours! Why is no one willing to look at me? I will always be someone else's accessory! I don't want to live in your shadow anymore, I don't want to work hard for you anymore. I want to understand, just be a puppet, I want to be the supreme king of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom!"
He raised the golden scepter studded with diamonds, walked towards the throne step by step, stroked it, panted, and finally sat on it. At the same time, he grabbed the crown on the side and put it on his head.
At this time, it was just dawn.
The red sun shines on his feet.
No one applauded his coronation, no one bowed before his eyes.
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in King Xi's mind:
"Satisfied, right?"
King Xi raised his head, and an extremely huge dragon stopped by the side of the palace. The magnificent palace is only as tall as him, and the silver-gray dragon is as oppressive as a mountain. Now, the dragon's blue eyes are staring at King Xi sitting on the throne.
What appeared in King Xi's mind just now was the information sent directly by the giant dragon through his mind.
Xi Wang laughed and replied:
"Of course. It's really comfortable to sit here. What are you going to do next?"
The dragon didn't open its mouth, but King Xi still "heard" its indifferent voice:
"Kill the royal family. If you want to really enslave a group, you must first cut off the guys on their heads that can be used as banners. In this way, no one can respond to everything. For humans, this banner is your royal family."
King Xi raised his head and said in shock:
"But it's not the same as what we negotiated..."
The giant dragon didn't look at him, but looked down at the king's capital that was gradually reduced to ruins, and said:
"Before? I'm old, and I don't remember what I said before. What I have to do now is to clean up the last rebels and turn you into domestic animals. Oh... you are also a member of the royal family, although I can’t remember what it’s called. Sitting in that seat means that you also have the power to give orders. If that’s the case... you won’t be needed.”
King Xi jumped down from the throne, his red eyes were bulging, and he said loudly:
"You promised to help me control the situation in the capital, and you promised that we would be safe and sound as long as we pay tribute every year! You can't break your promise, you can't—"
The dragon raised its wings and slapped the hall lightly.
Countless gold bricks and green tiles collapsed immediately, and before King Xi finished speaking, people were already submerged in the ruins.
If you want to count, this should be the king with the shortest reign in Eternal Heaven.
Only about two minutes.
The giant dragon's eyes rolled slightly, expressing calmness about what he had just done.
In its view, this place is already the territory of the Dragon Clan.
Rebels are not worth mentioning.
The only thing that needs a little attention...
Its eyes turned to the bamboo house in the garden in the distance.
There, a teenage girl with blond hair was talking deadpan to an equally deadpan middle-aged man.
Qingyun was still holding half of the green bamboo, gently patted the dust on his clothes, and asked the girl:
"What are you doing here?"
The blond girl—Alaya replied:
"The young master asked me to come."
Qingyun didn't ask any deeper reasons, but said:
"You came alone? Where's your young master?"
Alaya replied:
"The young master said that there is something important to do."
Qingyun's hand slowly touched half of the green bamboo, and asked calmly:
"Is there something important?"
Alaya said:
"Yeah. The young master said that he needs to go back to Xuanqing Palace to change clothes."
Qingyun stopped his hand and asked:
"What's so important about changing clothes?"
Alaya said solemnly:
"For the young master, yes. The young master will wear different clothes when he meets different people. It should be because he is going to meet an important person next time, so he has to change back to the original clothes. In order to come out of the Xuanqing Palace, the young master dressed as The appearance of a girl... Although to me, such a young master is also very handsome, but he probably doesn't want that person to see it."
Qingyun asked:
"You have also seen the current situation in the capital. If you don't stay by his side, can you rest assured?"
Alaya put her hand lightly on her flat chest, and replied:
"It's hard to calm down. But the young master hopes that I can come to be the last witness, and I will follow the young master's order. Because I am the young master's bodyguard, the young master is always right with me. And... when we parted, the young master Promise me to come back soon, I believe the young master can do it."
Qingyun narrowed his eyes, looked at Alaiya's face, and pursed the corners of his mouth. Putting half of the green bamboo into the belt, like a wandering swordsman who travels around the world as he pleases, while walking, he said lightly:
"Did he ask you to follow me? Then come along. No matter how you say it, you can be regarded as my half-disciple. I taught you the sword moves last time. This time I will show you the sword moves myself."
