As the corpses of civil and military officers were carried back from various streets, the atmosphere in the entire mansion became extremely depressed.
War will kill people and is unavoidable, not to mention the cruelest battle for the throne.
In just five days, the Fifth Prince has already killed dozens of civilians and military attaches. You must know that these civilians and military attaches are very good at fighting. They are at least sixth or seventh grade. They are equivalent to vanguards and partial generals in the army. It can be seen that
How brutal the battle was.
More than 20,000 imperial guardsmen of the fifth prince have died in battle, and countless more have been injured.
Of course, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were in a similar situation. They were all imperial guards, elites versus elites, aces versus aces, and no one took any advantage.
If the deaths of the three parties were counted together, an average of more than thirty civilians and military officers would be killed every day, and an average of more than 12,000 imperial guardsmen would be killed every day.
The reason why there were so many casualties was mainly because in the street fighting in the imperial city, there was no tactical space to maneuver, dodge, or detour, so we could only fight head-on, lining up to kill each other...
If the killing continues like this, within half a year, all the civil and military officials and imperial guards will be dead, and not many will be left. Moreover, the more terrifying guards from various provinces are also coming in a steady stream to join the battle.
The entire Gyeonggi Province has become a "super large meat grinding plant"!
Not only the three princes can't bear such a loss, but the entire dynasty can't bear it. When that time comes, there is no need to take action, the Daqian dynasty will be finished first.
Because if the national power is "weak" to this extent, it will lose the dominance of the human race's orthodox dynasty and be unable to suppress the various vassal states, and the world may be in chaos!
After discussion, the fifth prince and the civil and military officials agreed that within two months, the three parties would not dare to continue fighting. If the war continued, the dynasty would be over. The only option was to shake hands and make peace, that is, peace talks.
This battle for the throne spread too widely and caused too many casualties. In just two months, the national power of the Daqian Dynasty would be "weak" to the "critical point" of suppressing various vassal states.
Also, if Tianzhui Wasteland chooses this time to attack Tianzhui Pass, and Tianzhui Pass cannot get support, and a billion wild beasts enter the pass, then it will not be a matter of the demise of the Daqian Dynasty, but the entire human race will face an existential crisis!
The total population of the Daqian Dynasty and various vassal states is less than 200 million. There are one billion wild beasts falling into the wasteland, and they reproduce at an extremely fast rate. They reproduce every day when they have nothing to do. Who can withstand this...
Tianshuiguan Pass is the first "protective wall" of the human race, and it is also the last one.
Therefore, the three princes competing for the throne had a huge impact.
"Bai Yu invites you to fight!"
Bai Yu suddenly walked out of the corner... and came to the middle. He stood upright and held his fists in a royal military salute. It seemed like that.
For the past five days, he and Jinhua had been sitting in the corner, whispering and falling in love with each other. They had never thought about going to the battlefield. The civil and military officials saw that he was young and did not take him seriously.
Just ignored it.
However, Bai Yu saw civil servants and military officers coming back from the battlefield with great honors. Even Ning Yi, the eldest son of Duke Ning, went to the battlefield three times and suffered serious injuries. He was really embarrassed to hide in the corner and not gain any military merit.
, when the fifth prince becomes the new emperor, there will be no reason to reward him...
He can't. When Jinhua becomes the eldest princess of the dynasty, he can just be a consort. This soft rice is too soft... it's sticky to the teeth!
The fifth prince and the civil and military officials who were intensely discussing the war situation were all stunned for a moment, then quieted down, their eyes focused on Bai Yu.
The fifth prince's eyes lit up and he patted his forehead, "How could I forget Brother Bai Yu's miraculous talent? Brother Bai Yu can change the situation of the battle just by standing on the battlefield."
Having said this, the fifth prince quickly said, "Then please invite Brother Bai Yu to fight!"
The fifth prince whispered a few words to the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, "Please, sir, follow Brother Bai Yu and identify the enemy's civil and military officials."
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was surprised and asked, half convinced and half doubtful, "How could there be such a talent in the world?"
The battle was fierce, and every time there was a delay, many people would be killed or injured. The fifth prince did not bother to explain so much, "Anyway, just do as I say."
"Yes!" Zuo Shilang, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, didn't hesitate to ask more questions and accepted the order.
"I am coming too."
Su Jinhua then stepped forward, worried that Bai Yu would be in danger.
The fifth prince frowned, "Jinhua, please don't go. If you get hurt, how can I explain to my uncle and mother-in-law?"
"The battlefield is full of dangers and anything can happen. Miss Su, please don't go."
"Miss Su must never go!"...
The expressions of all the civil and military officials changed.
There is a saying that they can't say out loud. Su Jinhua's death is not a big deal... If she is captured alive by the enemy, the enemy will use this to blackmail the Marquis of Jin Nan. With the character of the Marquis of Jin Nan who dotes on his legitimate daughter, it is estimated that the enemy will
Fang would agree to any conditions proposed by Fang. If he surrendered with the 100,000 Imperial City Guards from Shannan Camp, or even turned against him, the Fifth Prince's side would collapse in an instant.
As the eldest son of Ning Guo Gong, Ning Yi would have nothing to do on the battlefield. On the one hand, Ning Yi was strong and would not easily get into trouble; on the other hand, even if Ning Yi was killed, injured or captured alive, it would not affect the overall situation. After all, Ning Guo Gong still knew how to take care of the overall situation.
The Marquis of Jin Nan is completely different. He will lose his mind even if his legitimate daughter is slightly wronged. If the life of his legitimate daughter is in danger, the Marquis of Jin Nan will do anything.
Everyone was in the circle of dignitaries in the imperial city and knew the Marquis of Jinnan very well. Once, a concubine from Duke Jingguo's palace said something bad about Su Jinhua, but somehow it reached the ears of the Marquis of Jinnan.
As a result, the Marquis of Jin Nan squatted secretly outside the gate of the Duke of Jin for half a month, waiting until his concubine went out to go shopping, and then caught her and beat her severely.
The trouble came to the old emperor, and after investigation, it was found that it was just a rumor, and the concubine did not say anything bad about Su Jinhua at all. Is this something done by a human being?
"It is precisely because of the danger that I go even more."
Once Su Jinhua gets angry, no one can stop her.
The fifth prince's face darkened, "Since Jinhua is so stubborn, then Brother Bai Yu shouldn't go."
The fifth prince also knew in his heart that Bai Yu's presence on the battlefield might indeed change some aspects of the battle, but it would not change the entire situation. But if Jinhua was captured, the consequences would be too serious. The pros and cons would not be equal. He would rather Bai Yu
do not go.
"Jinhua, don't be so petty, just stay here."
When Bai Yu saw that Su Jinhua wanted to say something else, he put his finger like a sword to her mouth, not allowing her to say it.
Su Jinhua bulged her mouth angrily, but she touched Bai Yu's fingers. Her face turned red and she took half a step back, looking down at the ground. "Brother Bai Yu, you have to promise me that the battlefield is more dangerous than exorcism."
Too much, so be careful."
"Well, I know, we will get engaged in two months."
Bai Yu looked at her with a smile, "I can't bear to die before I marry Jinhua."
As soon as she said this, in front of so many civil and military officials, Su Jinhua blushed even more. It was hard to say anything more. Just because she was brave did not mean that she was not shy. After all, a young girl in love is not a romantic woman.
Bai Yu and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs hurriedly left the Fifth Prince's Mansion, rode their horses, and headed straight for the battlefield.
It is said to be a battlefield, but it is actually streets and alleys. Thick imperial guardsmen crowded the streets and alleys, lining up to chop each other. Corpses were everywhere, and pools of blood merged into a small stream, flowing slowly.
Going into the sewer is so cruel.
The imperial guards are not ordinary soldiers. They are all low-level warriors who have tempered their bodies. If placed on a vast battlefield, they would be quite powerful. It is normal for one person to kill twenty or thirty enemy soldiers, but in the streets and alleys
It was too crowded, and both parties were well-trained warriors. You could only slash my chest with one knife, and I slashed your neck with my knife. I was already red-eyed.
The civil servants and military officers stepped on the walls and climbed to the roof, fighting each other on top, or fighting in groups, with broken bricks and rubble flying everywhere.
"The wind is coming."
Bai Yu changed his card to Yufeng and flew directly to the roof with Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was surprised. Let’s not talk about Bai Yu’s talent in roll call. He was a little surprised just by his ability to control the wind.
You must know that if a third-level official wants to go to such a high roof, he has to step on a wall to borrow some strength or something. This young man just casually said "Wind is coming" and directly caused the wind to rise from the flat ground. He took off on the same spot and took him along with him. Legend has it that
The Sword Flying in the movie is nothing more than that, right?
"That's Yang Ke, a member of the Ministry of Industry."
The left minister of the Ministry of Personnel was interested in seeing how Bai Yu's talent in naming was, and he couldn't wait to identify the enemy's civil servants.
"Yang Ke!"
Bai Yu changed his card and called his name directly, "There's no need to mention your official position, just say your name."
In an instant, Yang Ke was stiff and unable to move.
The one who was fighting against Yang Ke was a middle-level warrior from the Fifth Prince's side. Judging from his armor, he should be a general from the Jinnan Camp. "Bang, bang, bang!" With a fierce punch, Yang Ke's chest, mouth and nose were quickly smashed.
Bleed to death.
"Happy, happy!"
The mid-level warrior laughed happily. Originally, the two were evenly matched, and he even had a slight disadvantage. Suddenly, the enemy became a target that could not move. Can he be unhappy if he was allowed to fight?
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs opened his mouth in shock. If Bai Yu's proficiency in wind control is comparable to that of sword flying, then this talent of calling names is simply magical. It is like a body-holding technique. His name will not move at all. Who can accept this?
Come on?
I can’t stand it even if the gods come!
Of course, the premise is that the roll call is useful to the gods...
The mid-level warrior respectfully saluted Bai Yu with clasped fists, "Young master, this roll call method is amazing, thank you for your help!"
Feel free to fill a cup... Bai Yu smiled lightly, "The Marquis of Jinnan is my father-in-law, he is one of my own, so you don't have to be polite."
The mid-level martial artist was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Then I won't be polite to you. Yesterday there was an enemy general on the eldest prince's side. He suppressed me and fought for more than an hour. I almost couldn't come back.
Please help me name his name, Master, I will kill him!"
"?" Bai Yu was speechless, asking you to be rude, but you were really rude, "lead the way."
The middle-level martial artist first told Bai Yu the name of the enemy general, climbed over the eaves and walls, and happily led Bai Yu to find the enemy general to avenge him.
Seeing the enemy general, Bai Yu opened fire without saying a word. The enemy general instantly became stiff and turned into a wooden dummy.
"good!"
The mid-level warrior's eyes were bright, and he rushed over like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. He hit the enemy general on the head and killed him quickly, laughing happily.
He was even more enthusiastic, "Uncle, help me choose another enemy general that I don't like."
"?"
Bai Yu thought about it and it didn't matter. It didn't matter who he was targeting. It was a mess anyway. "Lead the way. Don't use your fist to hammer. It's too slow. Just chop the neck with a knife."
"My uncle is still thoughtful..."
The mid-level martial artist smiled and drew the long knife from his back.
that's all.
Under his leadership, Bai Yu helped him select seven "people with hatred", "people who don't like it", "people who stole childhood sweethearts", "people whose wives are too beautiful", "people who waste food", "people who walk left first"
"foot", "an enemy general with two eyes".
He killed seven enemy generals on the side of the eldest prince in a row, and his military exploits skyrocketed... It is estimated that after this battle, the general will have to be promoted to a full general.
The eldest prince's side was defeated one after another, losing control of several streets at once, and he quickly discovered that something was wrong.
With a "whoosh" sound, a cold arrow as thick as an arm flew from nowhere and hit Bai Yu directly!
Bai Yu's hair stood on end as he activated his domain defense.
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reacted quickly, with phantoms of peacocks flying around him, and suddenly struck out with a palm, "Boom!" and exploded with a cold arrow. Even so, Bai Yu was also knocked away by the majestic impact, and he coughed up blood in his mouth.
.
It's easy to block open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. This is the battlefield!
You are very good at naming, right?
"Whoosh" and give you a cold arrow.
Bai Yu hurriedly resisted the wind and flew off the roof. He lowered his head and crouched and hid in the corner. It was important to save his life.
The Huohuang horse was intelligent and galloped to him.
He got on his horse and ran away against the wall without looking back. He had already gained merit in battle and there was no need to risk his life.
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs followed up and protected him. He didn't know that Bai Yu could no longer go to the roof and had become a key target of the enemy.
Returning to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Su Jinhua screamed in fright when she saw Bai Yu's clothes stained with blood. She rushed over with a pale face, and hurriedly checked Bai Yu's injuries.
Bai Yu smiled at her and said, "It's okay, I was just shocked to the inside by a cold arrow."
Su Jinhua glanced at the Fifth Prince angrily, then turned to Bai Yu and said, "You are not allowed to go again!"
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs praised, "Mr. Bai's talent for roll call is amazing. He even called seven civil servants and military officers on the eldest prince's side, allowing our soldiers to kill seven in a row. Their morale increased greatly, and they beat the eldest prince's side steadily.
Defeated, but unfortunately, Mr. Bai has already been on the eldest prince’s kill list.”
You are really good at talking... Bai Yu was overjoyed. His military achievements were solid. It was not in vain that I took care of your son Pei Jin so much. I snatched away Jinhua, whom Pei Jin had a crush on, and saved Pei Jin from being addicted to women. Well,
Young people should make progress.
The fifth prince felt regretful, "In this case, brother Bai Yu will not go."
...
The harem "palace".
A high-pitched phoenix cry resounded throughout the harem and palace.
The phantoms of all the concubines in the harem were fluttering, and they all stopped silently.
The little maids and eunuchs who were doing "heart-cutting with small knives" in various parts of the palace couldn't help but stop, and they all looked at the huge phoenix shadow in confusion.
I saw that the phantom of Jiuluan behind Concubine Yi had disappeared and turned into a huge phoenix shadow. Its power overwhelmed the entire harem. Hundreds of birds looked at the phoenix. It was not a cover-up. As soon as the phoenix came out, the birds bowed their heads.
Concubine Mu and Concubine Jing looked pale, knowing that it was over.
First of all, in terms of strength, Fengniao is a whole level higher than Luanniao, not the same level at all.
In addition, what is even more frightening is that Fengniao is equal to the queen and controls the rules of the harem. In the vast land of the harem: I say what is law and what I do will follow.
Except for the real dragon, no one can suppress Fengniao in the harem, but the old emperor has passed away, and Fengniao has become the master of the harem and the palace.
"Concubine Mu and Concubine Jing were demoted to the lowest level of palace maids."
Concubine Yi, to be precise, was already Empress Yi. With just one word, the eight phantoms of Luan birds behind Concubine Mu and Concubine Jing immediately dissipated and disappeared.
Concubine Mu's face was pale, her graceful body slumped on the small grave, and she murmured to herself in despair, "How could this happen? It's impossible. Jiuluan is still far away from turning into a phoenix. How can he turn into a phoenix?"
Concubine Jing's face was also pale, her eyes were in disbelief, "How did you do it? We lost, but we don't accept it!"
"Who else is dissatisfied?"
Concubine Yi glanced at the concubines with her beautiful eyes, and her voice was surprisingly calm.
The more than a thousand concubines on Concubine Mu and Concubine Jing's side looked at each other and were silent for a moment. Then they all put down their weapons and knelt down on the ground. They folded their hands on the ground and put their foreheads on the backs of their hands.
She emerges from the female prostrate position and submits to the majesty of the phoenix bird.
There is no way to fight in the palace anymore.
Concubine Yi Jiuluan transforms into the wind, controls the rules of the harem, and follows her words. With one sentence, she can demote them all to the lowest level of palace maids. How can they fight if they lose their strength?
"elder sister!"
"Sister, we won!"...
The hundreds of concubines on Concubine Yi's side cheered and cried with joy.
After so many years of palace fighting, they are the final winners, and good days are coming.
