In addition, the Demon Cloud Mountain Range is an excellent training ground, and Yanxue Country's true strength is probably ranked among the top five in the martial arts world.
As an old country left over from ancient times, Yanxue Country has always maintained absolute neutrality, never participating in the competition for interests between other countries, or relying on the strong to bully the weak. It is also true that many countries cannot control Yanxue Country. It has real strength, so we don’t dare to provoke it easily. But among ordinary people, it stands like an angel of peace in the northern region.
This state of balance lasted for tens of thousands of years, until the emergence of a new country called the Jiyun Empire completely broke the balance.
The Jiyun Empire was established by annexing three above-average countries. Its founder was Ji Yun, the master of Jiyun Valley. The character Ji Yun has always been a mystery in the martial arts world, because since the establishment of Jiyun Valley, even within the valley, The core elders have never seen him. However, there has always been a saying in the martial arts world that Ji Yun is also one of the ancient martial gods. But for some unknown reason, there was no Ji Yun during the battle between the ancient humans and the demons. Because of Yun's participation, people have never remembered the existence of this figure who is at the pinnacle of the martial arts world.
However, what people didn't expect was that this veteran figure who had been silent for tens of thousands of years now really appeared in people's sight. Not only that, it also shocked people and made them feel extremely horrified. Because they still couldn't believe that a small Ji Yun Valley actually controlled three big countries in a few days, and even surrendered to them, and jointly supported Ji Yun, the owner of the valley, as the new emperor of the empire.
Not long after the establishment of the Jiyun Empire, something even more surprising happened. A country with an unstable foundation actually mobilized many countries and mobilized a total of two million alliance troops to cross the space gate and invade the country that was regarded as the messenger of peace in people's hearts. Yanxue Kingdom. Although the Jiyun Empire far exceeds the Yanxue Kingdom in terms of land area and population, many people still think that the Jiyun Empire will collapse. Because they do not believe that a new country can defeat an already powerful country. The Yanxue Kingdom has a history of tens of thousands of years and its strength is unknown.
However, the truth of things is often beyond people's surprise. The Yanxue Kingdom's army suffered a huge defeat on the first day of the war with the Jiyun Empire's army. A total of thirty-six cities on the border were captured, while the Jiyun Empire's The army seemed dissatisfied with this and marched straight into the capital to threaten the capital. But strangely, the alliance army did not announce the next attack order after threatening the capital. It only stationed itself outside the Nether Forest a hundred miles away from the capital of Yanxue Kingdom, giving people a It feels like they are here to stay for a long time.
The war fell into a state of anxiety for a while. The Yanxue Kingdom had entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and all those with strength above martial masters were unconditionally recruited into the army. As for the strength of martial arts, there were no requirements, because in this kind of strong In a strong duel, the strength of the warriors is really not enough for the opponent. As a result, the number of troops in the capital has reached 1.5 million.
Although the Alliance army stationed in the Nether Forest has not taken the next step, the rear has been continuously sending troops to the Nether Forest. After two months, excluding the number of people lost in the small-scale battle between the two armies, the Alliance now The number of troops has reached 1.9 million. The outside of the originally endless Netherworld Forest is now full of smoke and dark from a distance.
The longer the delay is, it will obviously be detrimental to the Yanxue Kingdom. Because the cities within the Yanxue Kingdom are now caught in a melee, the capital is already in a state of isolation and helplessness. Once the alliance army successfully shrinks its troops, the Yanxue Kingdom will surely perish.
undoubtedly.
At this time, the capital of Yanxue Kingdom was completely plunged into a kind of silence, like the silence before the storm.
The streets in the city are no longer as bustling as they used to be. The streets are as quiet as before. There are only groups of warriors armed with sharp weapons patrolling back and forth. These warriors have obviously been recruited just now and have received a little training.
They were sent to perform simple tasks. Due to lack of combat experience, they could only be sent to the rear to serve as logistics and patrol troops. The real backbone of the city had been guarding the fortresses at the entrance of the city for many months.
After a few months, the arrows pulled from the string had nowhere to shoot, and the strength in the hands was nowhere to be used. This kind of suffocating war made many people feel irritated and depressed, so now the fighting arrogance of the entire army is really worse than before.
It has been reduced too much.
However, in the palace of the capital, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. As expected of a leadership team, they would not be as helpless and feverish in the face of a crisis as ordinary people. If they didn't have any sense of calmness and composure in times of trouble, how could they?
Can you climb to a high position by stepping on other people's shoulders?
In the center of the palace is a huge oval round platform. The huge round platform is divided into several areas. Each area has a simple and black wooden chair. On each chair sits a core figure of the country.
.
A middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe sat upright on a dragon chair directly in front of the round platform in the royal palace. Although he seemed to be calmly looking at the people worshiping beside the round platform, from the ravines on his face, he knew that at this moment
He was also anxious.
After the ceremony, the palace became surprisingly quiet, sweeping away the fierce atmosphere of mutual intrigues in the past. After a long silence, a vigorous and powerful voice slowly sounded from the front of the round platform.
"Dawushi, has the letter sent to my second brother to return to the capital been delivered?" The first person to break the silence was the monarch on the dragon throne, Dugu Dong, the xxx descendant of Dugu Yuan.
Upon hearing this, the Great Military Commander Xiao He quickly stood up, first bowed and then looked in the direction of Dugudong and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the monarch, it is believed that the envoy reported that the rescue letter has been successfully delivered to the two monarchs. I must have
At this moment, the two monarchs are already on their way back to the capital to aid."
After hearing Xiao He's words, Dugudong's tense face finally relaxed a little.
So he took a satisfied look at Xiao He, who had been doing things efficiently since he took office. He said with a slight smile: "You are worthy of being the great military commander promoted by this monarch. This time the crisis in the capital has been solved, I will definitely reward the military commander."
Taiwan." After saying that, he slightly drew a line with his sleeves.
Xiao He, who had been in a high position for many years, naturally understood what he meant, and bowed again and said: "Thanks to your love, your Majesty, we can enjoy the glory and wealth for many years. Now that the country is in danger, as the pillars of the country, we should die.
That's it." Then he sat back down in a hurry.
Dugudong smiled again when he heard this, and then his sharp eyes quickly swept across the hall, and his last peripheral vision stopped at the center of the left side of the round platform, where the Forbidden Military Commander Wang He Fei was looking solemn, and then he used
A powerful commanding tone shouted:
"Wang Dutong, recently you have to send more spies to pay attention to the movements around the capital. Once you find out about the two monarchs, come and report to me immediately. If there is any mistake, you will be punished without mercy." Dugudong added after that.
, "The war is imminent. If there are those who are timid and spread rumors in the city, they do not need to be sentenced according to the law. They can just show their heads to the public. Extraordinary measures must be used in emergency times. And the safety of the capital is entrusted to the king. During this period, weapons are prohibited.
If you have any needs, you can go directly to the Financial Secretary for approval, and there is no need to report to me again."
Hearing that Dugudong had given Wang Hefei such great convenience, some gloomy-looking old guys who were sitting on the edge of the round platform suddenly had all kinds of strange expressions on their faces. Some were envious, jealous, and hateful, and some were very unwilling.
If it weren't for an emergency, even if they were killed, they wouldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to a vulgar warrior. You know, they can make a lot of money by just reporting a number! But even if there are 10 million unlucky people in their hearts,
Satisfied, no one dared to say a word. They had no choice but to suppress the evil fire in their hearts. Venting at this time was undoubtedly a desperate move.
Wang Hefei stood up when he heard the sound, and then bowed respectfully and said: "Accept the king's decree." After that, he said nothing more and sat back in his seat. As the commander of Wudu, Wang Hefei was an upright and rough man. He was good at leading troops in battle.
It is really difficult to say some flattering and polite words. In addition, the country is currently in crisis, and the burden on him is too heavy, and he has no time to think about anything else.
Dugudong looked at Wang Hefei who answered simply, and secretly admired him. Compared with those who were hypocritical and talkative, he actually liked people who were simple and without any scheming. After these two important things were given, Dugudong looked at Wang Hefei.
Others in the hall asked with a sarcastic expression: "Do you have any other important things to report? If not, today's political meeting will end here."
Just when Dugudong on the dragon throne was about to announce the end of the political meeting, Zhou Xing, the director of the Department of Legal Affairs who had remained silent from the beginning to the end of the political meeting, stood up and bowed with a sinister look.
Looking at Dugudong with an expression on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Alliance Army is shrinking faster and faster. It is expected that a general offensive will be launched in the next few days. Even if the two monarchs rush back in time, it will be useless. At this moment, it is necessary to
Think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I don’t know if that’s the case”
Before Zhou Xing could finish speaking, Dugudong's gentle face immediately turned solemn. With a wave of his hand, he stopped him from continuing. Of course Dugudong knew what the matter was, but he thought he was not a very good person.
He is a cruel person, so he has not mentioned this matter for a long time. Of course, it is to take into account the face of him and the royal family. If he really does that, Dugudong will not want to hang out in this Yanxue Kingdom in the future.
Everyone looked at the former, and the look of anticipation on their faces when they heard that thing was immediately discredited by the latter's big hand, so they had no choice but to pretend not to hear anything, and the winner even
I don't dare to kick him even if I'm angry.
Speaking of that incident, we have to start from one night half a month ago. When Dugudong was about to go to bed, Zhou Xing, the director of the Department of Legal Affairs, rushed to the palace in a hurry and reported to the guards that he had important matters and asked to see the monarch.
When the guard saw that it was the Master of Legal Affairs, he did not dare to neglect and immediately reported it. Dugudong was curious that Zhou Xing came to see him in the middle of the night. There must be something important, so he ordered the maid to put on a brocade robe for him and come
Go to the side hall.
The first time he saw Zhou Xing when he came to the side hall, Dugudong walked up eagerly and asked Zhou Xing why he came to see him in the middle of the night.
Hearing the accent of Dugudong, Zhou Xing shook off his usual arrogance, bent down and bowed, took out a letter from his brocade sleeve and handed it to Dugudong. Dugudong looked calm when he saw the envelope. After finishing the content of the letter, he couldn't help but look stunned, and at the same time, he felt a sense of anger. Because the person who wrote to him was none other than Ji Yun, the monarch of the Ji Yun Empire.
The general content of the letter is that if the Yanxue Kingdom wants to quell this war, it must hand over one person. And this person is the famous second monarch of the Yanxue Kingdom, Dugu Yun. If not, the Yanxue Kingdom will be bloodbathed.
Surrendering one person can stop a war and save countless families. This sounds like a great thing, but it is undoubtedly a great shame for a country that has been invaded. What's more, handing over He is the dignified second-in-command of the Yanxue Kingdom, and he also exists as a new god of war in the Yanxue Kingdom.
It’s no wonder that Dugudong has been reluctant to think about this matter, which made him even more confused. Why did the Jiyun Empire go to war just for one person? Could it be that the importance of the second brother Duguyun is far greater than that of starting a war? A war? Or is there something in the second brother that is very important to Ji Yun?
Dugudong still can't figure out this series of questions. Perhaps the answers to all these questions can only be answered after Duguyun comes back.
Dugudong warned Zhou Xing in a threatening tone at that time, saying that no third person would know about this matter without his permission.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinghui would take the opportunity to mention this matter on such an occasion, and Dugudong suddenly became angry. This person who was popular in his hometown didn't take his words seriously because he was a senior figure. This was simply a kind of A naked challenge to the king’s imperial power.
"Huh, old guy, let me let you be arrogant for a few days. After this crisis is over, I will punish you severely." Dugudong snorted coldly in his heart, and immediately announced the end of today's political meeting. He He was also afraid that if the delay continued, Zhou Xing would uncontrollably reveal the matter. Thinking of Zhou Xing's abnormal behavior since this war, Dugudong extremely suspected that this person had a crush on Ji Qing.
If everyone at this meeting knew about this matter, then most of them would definitely stand on Zhou Xing's side. Even though Dugu Yun plays an extremely important role for Yanxue Country, for their selfish interests, They would also hand over Dugu Yun without hesitation. Anyway, the person they handed over was from the royal family, and they were out of reach of each other. Why not use simple methods to solve troublesome things? This is Yan The peaceful thoughts of most of the people in power in Snow Country today.
After Dugudong announced the end of the meeting, he left the royal palace and headed towards the palace. Everyone stood up from their chairs one after another, then exited the royal palace in an orderly manner, and got off the several hundred After walking up the marble stairs, they each got on the cart pulled by the lowest-level magic beast that looked like a horse and returned to the mansion. Let's go there first." With that said, Tianlong let Zhou Xing sit on his back and flew out of the cloud sea.
