() When Xia Han came to Gale City, the genius was just bright.
The first sunlight cast a golden light on the stone bricks of the city wall. Wujing stood at the gate of the city, his face the same as usual, and he didn't seem to be angry because of Xia Han's escape.
"then."
He threw a small bottle over, Xia Han reached out to catch it, then picked it up and looked at it in the sun: "What is this?"
"Medicine...I want you to sprinkle this bottle of medicine on Xia Ming's wound."
On Xia Ming's wound? - Xia Han almost didn't react. So the king is not dead yet? Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand again, Xia Han shuddered secretly. Based on his understanding of Wujing, this bottle is probably poison.
Sprinkling poison on the king's wound, does this mean Xia Han is going to die?
"Are you sure this is a healing potion?"
"right."
"Then why don't you go give it to him yourself..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Jing glared at Xia Han coldly: "If you don't want to die, just do as I say. Xia Ming is lying in the City Lord's Mansion. If you go, someone will take you to see him."
He turned around, flicked his cloak, and left looking very chic.
"Tch!" Xia Han curled his lips, and then took the medicine bottle to the city lord's palace. As expected, the journey was incredibly smooth. He walked into the king's bedroom under the leadership of the maid, and then saw Xia Ming lying on the bed sickly.
His chest was wrapped with several circles of bandages, his lips were pale and discolored, and he was seriously injured.
"I came to give you the medicine according to Wu Jing's instructions." Xia Han opened his mouth and said that he had nothing to do with the medicine, but Xia Ming looked at him coldly: "I know, you sit down first."
Xia Han sat quietly aside, staring at the bandage, feeling gloating about Xia Ming's injury.
"Xia Han, I want to talk to you..."
Xia Ming was lying on his back, breathing in the incense in the air, and said something shocking: "I will stay here to stop those monsters from advancing, and I don't plan to kill you anymore."
Xia Han was stunned.
Was this king cut into an idiot by the orcs? Why did he suddenly change after a war? With his caution, he should have run away in tears when he saw a guy who couldn't win. How could he stay here?
?And he also said he would not kill Xia Han...
"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep last night and maybe my ears were ringing. Can you tell me again?"
Xia Han smiled awkwardly.
"You kid!!" Xia Ming's eyes widened, and then hissing caused pain in the wound. He took a few breaths, and then said: "I can't abandon the people here, because this is the ancestral teaching of the Xia family... I
Not as good as my brother, but I can’t forget this group training!”
"Xia Han, we are facing foreign enemies. I don't care where you go from now on, but I want you to listen...listen to what I have to say. This is history that the Xia family must know!"
Xia Ming looked excited, and Xia Han looked at the sick king and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: What else does he want to say now? History - what does history have to do with the present?
"I think you should have heard about the history of the founding of the Jade Empire. However, whether it is common people or nobles, today I want to tell you the history inherited by the Wang family..." Xia Ming saw Xia Han calm down and sighed: "The most important thing
What’s more, a thousand years ago, our Xia family did not step into this land with honor, but left home with humiliation.”
Xia Han opened his eyes wide, this was the first time he heard about it.
What Xia Ming tells is a history that is completely different from folklore.
After the collapse of the Kirin Empire, the first country of mankind, the territory was governed by the four royal families. After centuries of steady development, they started a war. As time went by, the four royal families gradually discovered that the number "four" was a contradictory number.
The most stable form of national development, mutual containment, and even war is the "three". So they started a long war for thousands of years in order to reduce one surname, and the final loser was the Xia family.
A thousand years ago, all members of the Xia family died. Only a nine-year-old boy escaped with the protection of his maid. He wandered around the Suzaku Continent, gathering a large number of refugees who were homeless due to the war with his young wisdom and kindness.
However, as his team grew stronger, other kingdoms noticed this rising force. The boy had to propose taking people to leave the continent. In the final decision, nearly 80% of the refugees chose to follow him and risk their lives.
The danger of death and heavy rain came to Qilin Continent.
These people entered the mainland during the most difficult years, and fortunately gained the friendship and help of the Jingxue Clan before they prospered and developed in this land. At that time, the war on the Suzque Continent was not over, and more refugees came to this land to open up wasteland.
The Emerald Empire was established.
The foundation of the Emerald Empire was formed by refugees. The flags of the empire are flowers and swords. The sword is the must-have emblem of the four royal families, and the flower symbolizes hope. When people first cross the snow-capped mountains and enter the Qilin interior, the first thing they see is
It’s the boundless sea of flowers under the morning sun...
That sea of flowers is now the Morning Grassland, and the sea of flowers only appears every twenty years. Xia described the flag as a flower and a sword: hope and war, to remind future generations to remember the story behind this flower of the kingdom.
history.
"A person who abandons his people cannot become a king... This is our ancestral motto. Every king must stand on the front line. Your father is like this... I must be like this..." In fact, Xia Ming doesn't want to stay at all.
It was a dangerous place, but...he couldn't put ashes on the crown.
What a complicated background... Xia Han was speechless. He didn't expect the things behind it to be so complicated... But after talking so much, what does it have to do with him?
"I'm done, let me give you medicine first!" After Xia Ming stopped, Xia Han approached him and started to open his bandages.
Xia Ming watched his movements silently, and suddenly said: "The guardian is dead?"
Xia Han's hands trembled and he suddenly felt nervous...how did he know.
"There is a special contractual connection between the guardian and the king. Every time the king is in danger, he can predict it in advance and rush over. This time he has not come back for so long, so he can only be dead..." Xia Ming said lightly
, he didn’t seem to be disappointed.
"The Gu clan is not inherited by blood, and the guardians have no blood relationship. Anyone who becomes a guardian will have the ancient surname..." Xia Han continued what he said, and then explained the reason why there was no loss - the guardians did not cut off the inheritance.
Each guardian will choose a few people to leave marks when they are alive. If these marks do not occur, only the guardian himself will know. After the guardian dies, when the time is right, one of these marks will accept the memory of the guardian and become the new guardian.
"When is the time right?"
"Yes, this is a word that is difficult to describe... Let me give you an example. If I die in this war, then the person with the mark who is loyal to you or Xia Yun who is the most fanatical will become the new guardian.
By."
Xia Ming glanced at Xia Han's face and sneered: "Guardians are the guardians of the royal power. They are qualified to choose the true leader of the empire. Of course, they will be loyal to the king they choose for life, unless their king sincerely submits to another
A king..."
Xia Han had just opened all the bandages, but was stunned by Xia Ming's words.
Does he mean that the person the new guardian is loyal to is the king? So... one of the hidden conditions in the plot "The Twilight King" is to make the person loyal to him a guardian? What an international joke!
The dead guardian was obviously quite satisfied with Xia Yun, and the marks he left must be on the people around Xia Yun. Xia Han might not have left any of them, or they might have left them to the people who hated him the most.
Becoming a guardian also requires fanatical loyalty. Xia Han himself has no subordinates and has very few people with whom he comes in contact. To gain fanatical loyalty from others in a short period of time - this is simply impossible!
No matter from any aspect, Xia Han is not qualified to compare with Xia Yun. The A-level difficulty legendary plot "The Twilight King" is simply an impossible plot.
Xia Han was secretly annoyed, so he uncorked the bottle with one hand and poured the medicine into Xia Ming's bloody wound.
"Ahhh!"
Hearing the screams, Xia Han began to curse: [Death - die!] However, no matter how Xia Han cursed, this bottle of potion - turned out to be real medicine!
When did Wujing have such a good heart?
After wrapping Xia Ming's bandage back, Xia Han looked at Wu Jing with a not so good expression.
"You seem to be wondering why I sent the real medicine?"
The face without thorns does not change its color.
"right."
This kind of charitable behavior is completely inconsistent with Wu Jing's bad character.
"Can you get the fake medicine? And...he is necessary." Wujing glanced at Xia Han and said indifferently: "This country lost its unity nine years ago. As soon as the king leaves here, the people in other territories will
The nobles would easily refuse to send troops to support. Fortunately, although he is not Renming's king, he still stayed..."
This is also a good thing in his opinion. After all, after the destruction of Gale City, the Yulin Mountains and Jade City will be exposed to the Orcs...
In Wujing's heart, the king is a victim who must stand in front of him. The more the strength of those alien races is weakened in the Gale Wind Grassland, the better. In short, he is still acting for his own benefit.
Xia Han was not stupid and immediately understood his plan.
However...he still didn't understand something: "Why did the king suddenly say he won't kill me?"
His conversation with Xia Ming did not involve this matter. The history of the empire and the inheritance method of the guardian have nothing to do with Xia Han's life and death. Xia Han couldn't ask directly... but he thought Wujing would definitely know what he knew.
Unknown information.
As expected, Wujing immediately showed a sarcastic smile after hearing this question: "This is not what he meant, but what the woman who occupied the queen's throne beside the two kings meant."
"If you want to ask, just ask her... She has also arrived in Gale City."
The woman on the queen's throne, a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous crown appeared in Xia Han's mind.
Xia Yun's biological mother, the woman who called Xia Han his bane when he was a baby - why did she let Xia Han go?
