In just one and a half months, all states in Daxia surrendered to the Imperial City Army.
The Shenhuo State became turbulent.
Some families or shops that had done business with the Fengyi Army began to sell off their assets and flee the city.
…
Tianyun Tower of Shenhuo City.
As the tallest building in Shenhuo State, Tianyun Tower has twelve floors.
The types of goods sold on each of these twelve floors are different, but everything is related to martial arts training.
There is also a restaurant on the top floor of Tianyun Building that can cook monster meat.
When dining in this restaurant, you can not only enjoy delicious food that cannot be enjoyed elsewhere, but you can also overlook the entire Shenhuo City and experience the feeling of seeing mountains and small mountains at a glance.
"Cough cough cough..."
In a private room on the top floor, Chen Che looked at the mountains in the distance while coughing.
In the past month and a half, the situation in Daxia has undergone earth-shaking changes.
His cultivation level has also improved a lot.
There are already cracks in the soul seed in my mind, as if it is about to sprout.
In addition, he also clearly felt the oppression of this world on him.
To be precise, it is the suppression of the Gate of Reincarnation.
But……
He still couldn't find either Li Shuyuan or Xu Shi.
Half a month ago, he moved into Shenhuo City openly and honestly, hoping to attract masters from the Jishi Alliance or the Imperial City Army to kill him.
As a result, half a month passed and he didn't even see a ghost.
"Cough cough cough..."
Chen Che coughed twice, and the powerful Qi in his body shook.
Dongdongdong...
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the box.
"Come in."
After the words fell, the box door was pushed open, and Shen Kunpeng hurried in, saying with a complicated face:
"Alliance leader... there is no need to investigate the matter you want to investigate... The eldest prince Chen Yan has issued an edict on his accession to the throne. It has just been transmitted to Shenhuo State, and it mentions your life experience."
Upon hearing this, Chen Che was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Where's the edict? Show it to me!"
Hearing this, Shen Kunpeng quickly took out the edict that he had already copied from his arms and placed it on the square table in front of Chen Che.
The edict was extremely long, with thousands of words in it, and filled seven or eight sheets of paper.
First, the edict emphasized the legitimacy of Chen Yan's ascension to the throne as the eldest prince, and then placed the responsibility for launching the civil war on the Fengyi Army.
As a result, the Fengyi Army was all turned into rebels.
Later, Chen Yan announced that he would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in fifteen days, and change his reign name to Shuntian.
At that time, Chen Yan will grant amnesty to the world, and at the same time reduce taxes for the three years of Daxia, so as to cultivate and recuperate.
Finally, a list of some rebellious officials and traitors was mentioned.
These rebellious officials and traitors are divided into two major categories.
The first category is people from the Fengyi Army.
The names of the two princes supported by the Fengyi Army and some generals and scholars are all on this list, and the teacher Wang Jingming is also among them.
The second category is the former sycophants.
The first one on the list is Xu Shi, the former prime minister.
According to the edict, as prime minister, Xu Shi disrupted the imperial court, deceived the late emperor, and advocated the construction of Lieyang Palace, shaking the foundation of Daxia and killing countless civilians.
According to the laws of Daxia, Xu Shi should execute the nine tribes.
In addition, the new emperor also planned to build a kneeling statue of a traitor in front of the palace to be despised by the world.
…
Chen Che continued to look down and soon saw his name at the end of the list of nine clans.
"Chen Che, Xu Shi's illegitimate son should be executed according to law."
After that are the names of mother and uncle.
Among them, the identity of the mother turned out to be the concubine of the traitor Xu Shi.
"hehe……"
Chen Che shook his head and chuckled, his face full of self-deprecation.
He didn't care about it himself.
It is normal for the Jishi Alliance or the Imperial City Army to want to kill him.
But my mother suffered twenty years in Shihuo City and waited for twenty years. In the end, because of Chen Zhao, he became a famous wanted criminal throughout Daxia and became the so-called treacherous minister...
How unfair is this?
In addition, he has checked a lot of information about Xu Shi and Li Shuyuan recently.
So he knew very well how poor the reputation of Xu Shi, the former prime minister, was among the people.
If Chen Yan wants to kill the nine clans of Xu Shi, there will probably be countless people applauding him.
This emperor who was supported by evil spirits will immediately become popular with the people.
As for myself, my mother, and my uncle, they all naturally turned into evil parties.
"Cough cough cough..."
After Chen Che coughed a few times, he looked at Shen Kunpeng.
"Does everyone in Shenhuo City know the contents of this edict?"
Shen Kunpeng's face looked a little ugly and said: "It was posted in the city not long ago, and many people should have seen it by now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Che suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go back."
…
After a while.
Chen Che returned to the mansion he had just bought in Shenhuo State.
The atmosphere inside the mansion was quite solemn.
The maids and servants looked at him with a complicated meaning.
Chen Che quickly walked into the inner house without saying a word.
In the inner house, at the door of my mother's room, my uncle was squatting on the steps in a daze.
Seeing Chen Che coming back, Wang Zhen suddenly stood up, walked over with red eyes and asked: "Nephew, is what the edict said true?
Is that bastard Chen Zhao the traitor Xu Shi?"
Chen Che said nothing.
Wang Zhen said angrily: "This beast! My sister has been waiting for him for twenty years in vain! It's good for him, he is prospering in the capital!"
"Uncle...how is my mother?"
Chen Che asked softly.
Since my uncle knows about it, there is a high probability that my mother also knows about it.
Wang Zhen sighed and said: "She doesn't believe that Chen Zhao is Xu Shi... She still thinks that bastard Chen Zhao is a good person and an upright person... Haha..."
At this point, Wang Zhen laughed at himself.
After hearing this, Chen Che knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.
In the room, Master Qu from the Xuanjin Sect was checking her mother's pulse, while her aunt Gu Shu looked after her with a big belly.
"Mom, I'm back."
Chen Che spoke in a gentle tone and then walked to the bed.
"Che'er...is what the edict says true?"
Wang Rou was lying on the bed, looking a little confused.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Compared to the past few days, her hair suddenly had a lot more gray hair.
Seeing that his mother seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, Chen Che didn't know how to answer for a while.
How difficult is it for orphans and widowers to survive in this troubled world?
The reason why my mother was able to push herself to grow up was because she had a certain belief in her heart that supported her.
And this belief is her love and trust in her father.
Now that she knows the truth, her faith has completely collapsed.
"Mom, that may not be true, don't take it to heart..."
Chen Che comforted.
Until now, that's all he could say.
When Wang Rou heard this, her eyes gradually calmed down a lot. Then she couldn't help but hold Chen Che's hand and murmured: "Che'er... I miss him so much, I really want to see him."
"Mom, don't worry, you will see me... I will definitely see you. You have a good rest."
Chen Che said firmly.
"Um……"
Wang Rou responded.
Chen Che looked at Gu Shu next to him.
Gu Shu was pregnant, with a look of worry on her face.
She is just an ordinary citizen, and now she suddenly learns that her husband has become a serious criminal in the court... She is not afraid that there is something wrong with her.
"Auntie, don't worry, no one can harm our family in this great summer!"
Chen Che said with an extremely firm tone, then turned to look at Master Qu.
"Master Qu...my mother..."
Master Qu sighed softly: "The longing in her heart has been simmering for twenty years, and now she is suddenly stimulated, so she is like this...
Alas, let her have a good rest first.
As for what happens next, I’ll keep an eye on it.”
"Okay, here's Master Laoqu."
Chen Che thanked him and walked out slowly.
As soon as he went out, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He felt worthless for his mother.
But his mother wanted to see that bastard all he wanted, so he could only find a way to fulfill his mother's wish.
…
At this moment, a servant from outside suddenly walked in quickly and reported: "Master, there is a man named Chu Jiang outside who wants to see you."
"I know, I'm going out right now."
After Chen Che responded, he walked towards the outer house.
Chu Jiang is from the Fengyi Army, and he has dealt with him several times.
He probably came here now because of the edict.
At the door of the outer house, Chujiang stood silently.
After seeing Chen Che, he hurriedly came up to him and spoke very quickly:
"Chen Che, quickly pack your things and follow me!"
"where to?"
Chen Che asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's to escape from Shenhuo State! Why, didn't you see the edict?"
Chu Jiang said a little speechlessly.
"I saw it...so what? Anyway, the Imperial City Army and Jishi Alliance were going to kill me."
Chen Che replied indifferently.
Chu Jiang looked anxious when he heard this, and said in an extremely solemn tone: "This time is different! Do you know?
In order to purge the Shenhuo State, the imperial court appointed Shen Ting as a general and mobilized a total of 150,000 troops to prepare for the invasion of the Shenhuo State!
Now the army is about to set off!
The pass from Yanzhou to neighboring country Daqin is also guarded by tens of thousands of troops. If our Fengyi Army hadn't had people there, you wouldn't have been able to escape even if you wanted to!"
Chen Che nodded expressionlessly and then changed the subject.
"Where is my teacher?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang's expression became tragic.
"Chen Che, today's imperial court is either evil or evil... However, the common people of Daxia are kept in the dark.
If we don't care, then this Great Xia will become a back garden for evil spirits and monsters...
Your teacher and other great scholars, as well as all the masters of our Fengyi Army, have all rushed to the capital.
We are ready for one last ditch effort!
Not saying that I can change the day... I just want to wake up the people of Great Xia!"
"Teacher, are you prepared to die for your country?"
Chen Che said softly.
"Well...but he is still a little worried about you, so he specially asked me to come to you.
Chen Che, your talent is amazing and your future is limitless.
Your teacher hopes that after you leave Daxia, if you become stronger one day, you can return to Daxia to save the people of Daxia who are struggling in suffering."
When Chu Jiang said this, there were already tears in his eyes.
Daxia values culture over martial arts because the top warriors will one day leave Daxia in order to pursue a higher realm of martial arts.
But no matter what, this is their hometown after all.
Even if they die, they will not let their hometown fall into the hands of evil spirits.
