Interpreted from the perspective of existing history, the dividing line between gods and demons is undoubtedly a toponym group that contains many meanings such as "suffering, bloodshed, ugliness, despicability, and barbarism".
If you interpret it more carefully, the meaning will escalate and become suffering among sufferings, bloody among bloody, ugly among ugly... In short, this is not a good place, and bad luck will come if you get close to it.
Intentionally or unintentionally, gods, demons and humans have forgotten that this was once the starting point of happiness.
But no matter what kind of fate, in fact, it has nothing to do with this area. Whether it becomes a miserable place or a source of happiness is determined by the creatures carried by the land. Just like the change in the status of this narrow area - it was far away from the place before.
Sibia has now become the heart of the empire due to the turbulent times in the world. This change is not God's will, but man-made.
To be precise, it was all decided by Cohen Keda.
The young and promising emperor expanded the territory and conquered a large area of the Demon Alliance. With a tap of his finger on the map, he made this place the new imperial capital of the Sbia Empire. Coincidentally, in the word of mouth passed down by the aboriginal chiefs,
In ancient legends, this basin located at the western end of the dividing line between gods and demons has another name. Although the pronunciation is difficult to pronounce, the meaning is very straightforward: Garden of Gods.
The dividing line between gods and demons is very long, like a belt stuck in the middle of the Bis continent, but its width varies, sometimes wider and sometimes narrower depending on the terrain. The Garden of Gods happens to be one of the widest places.
The basin is almost half the size of the Dark Province, with a flat terrain. Most of the criss-crossing rivers come from the forests in the east, and then flow into the swamps in the west. The other two sides are surrounded by rolling mountains. The mountains are not high, but only a few.
Every pass is passable.
Because of ancient legends, this place has become a place where dreams are placed, and it has become sacred and solemn. In the past, every ten years, the thirty-six tribes would elect thirty-six representatives to worship in the basin. In addition, other
The tribesmen were not allowed to enter, and even if they wanted to escape, they could only sneak around the edge. For this reason, the selection of the new imperial capital took a lot of effort from Little Jidenan.
"What a beautiful scenery. No wonder the emperor decided to set the imperial capital here." Pulling back the reins, the Imperial Justice glanced at the green fields at the foot of the mountain with greedy eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh."
"Your Excellency! You stopped sneezing!" Konoe, who has been with him day and night, automatically ignored the childishness of the chief judge and said in surprise: "No wonder you insist on walking on the mountain road. It turns out that the air in the mountains is good for your body! You are so wise.
It’s a miraculous craftsmanship!”
"What nonsense! If you can't even say flattery, what's the point of supporting you idiots?" The young justice was so angry that he started to curse: "How smart is it? Is there such a metaphor? Yours
The lesson was in vain!"
"You can't blame me. I only went to the cram school at the Military Academy for three days, and you caught me back." Konoe, who was almost equally young, sneered: "But in these three days, my grades were in the middle.
The best among the officers in the school!"
"Don't tell me that you can still read, don't tell people that I know you, stay away!" The justice said "poof", picked up the reins and left: "If you keep talking glibly, be careful and I will confiscate your crime tools!"
"Ah, I understand." The guard nodded repeatedly, but moved closer: "Then, sir, why did you scream just now?"
"That's because I found this place really good, so I decided to start embezzlement so that I could build a villa here or something..." The judge was full of nonsense and stared at a group of carriages passing by the pass at the foot of the mountain. Then, he felt lost.
Sighed.
"Yes, I heard that the scenery near the city is better than here. The newly built villas must be close to mountains and rivers, with gardens in the front and back." The personal guard who has been protecting the chancellor since the Ninth Legion certainly knows him.
What was he thinking, he sighed: "But living alone will be lonely. It would be great if I could live in a villa with the lady in the carriage..."
"Don't talk nonsense." The justice said nothing more, raised his whip and pointed to another road in the distance: "Let's go that way."
On the way down the mountain, no one in this medium-sized team talked or joked. This seemed to be a rare thing. Who doesn’t know that when there is no official business, the people around the justice are the best at making jokes. It can be said that there is no one from top to bottom.
Now, the silence of the Chief Justice has affected the other people in the cavalry. Although Jack would never retaliate for these things, everyone still carefully kept quiet for fear of affecting him.
After so many years of getting along, Konoe certainly knows the Chief Justice very well. He can make the prestigious Mr. Jack suddenly silent. He can count such things on one hand, and that lady happens to be one of them. I want to make mushrooms in the first place.
At that time, this guard was the foreman, and he knew something about Jack's thoughts.
After descending to the foot of the mountain, Jack led the horse team onto the distant trade route.
This trade road has been built for a while. The road surface has been carefully rolled with equipment. The sound of horse hooves is crisp when stepping on it. The quality is quite good. Together with the surrounding roads, it forms a complete system. It seems that the design and construction of the new capital
It has been carefully designed.
Because Jack wanted to avoid someone, the group did not proceed along the planned route. They did not go far before they encountered the Guardsmen who came to inspect.
This made Jack a little dissatisfied. Although it was not the scheduled route, the distance between the two trade routes was only three miles. These guys who were pretending to be powerful just came to demonstrate!
However, this is not to be blamed on others. Who made the chief judge offend so many people, and there were so many sinners in the Thirty-Six Tribes? Because of the special nature of the basin, the guards on guard here are all descendants of the Thirty-Six Tribes.
After a long round of questions and answers, the tribesman with his tail raised to the sky finally surrendered in front of the chief judge - when it comes to national law, besides the emperor himself, who else can be more professional than the chief judge?
But with such a commotion, the carriage in the distance was further away, and the distance between the trade routes became wider and wider. Jack's original interest in trying his luck was gone. The group of people were like eggplants beaten by frost, and they were as depressed as ever.
Walking forward, the scenery on the roadside has already lost its style.
In the evening, the sky is filled with flying clouds, accompanied by an attractive fragrance, and hundreds of birds return to their nests.
"No, this smell... is so familiar!" Jack suddenly turned his head and sniffed it as if he was furious. Then he rushed to the roadside with his horse's belly, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Which bastard is barbecuing here? Wait a minute.
Violation of Article 63, Chapter 5, Section 3 of the Imperial Law will result in a fine of 100,000 yuan, thirty years of hard labor, pain in the butt, and chaos..."
"It's your grandpa!" Someone shouted back in a rough voice from the woods on the roadside: "Come in if you dare, let's see how I deal with you!"
"What did you say? What are you to him?" Another strong male voice sounded: "You are itchy, aren't you?"
"Do you care about me?" The previous voice moved quickly and was interrupted for a moment: "You dare to hit me? I've turned against you - take it!"
Then, the ground shook slightly, and the forest began to shake. After His Excellency the Justice rushed in with a strange scream, the crown of the tree shook even more, and fallen leaves flew all over the sky.
"It's okay, it's okay." Watching his master disappear into the woods, the well-informed personal guard ordered the others: "Don't stand here stupidly, just leave a group of people behind, and the others will advance half a mile along the way.
Set up camp on the side. Eat when you need to and drink when you need to. Don’t come here without orders, otherwise you may suffer disaster.”
Then, the personal guard dismounted and asked everyone to sit on the roadside to rest, turning a deaf ear to the various strange sounds that came from faintly. Among the guards who stayed with him were two rookies who had just been assigned to the army, squatting very sneakily.
He came over, pointed to the woods in front of him, and asked in a low voice what was going on with the chancellor's personal guards, who were the people inside, and why it sounded like a dog fight.
"Ah!" The personal guard is useless next to the justice, but he has a bad temper in front of others. He is a senior military officer and will be awarded the rank of brigadier next year: "You are not afraid of having your tongue pulled out.
, anyone who comes out of the woods can trample you like an ant. If nothing else, you can still clean the bathroom for the rest of your life!"
"No way?" One-half of the rookies were of the type who had a strong background and were young and energetic, while the other half were hobs with illustrious military exploits, so they asked in unison: "Who is so weird?"
"Listen carefully." The personal guard smiled contemptuously at the rookies: "The one with the roughest voice is probably Lieutenant General Helter, the commander of the Imperial Guards. And the one with a slightly deeper voice now is the Northern Army of the Empire.
Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Moya, coupled with our young, promising and extremely intelligent Lord Justice...why, can't you do it?"
His voice was not loud, but the two names in his words were so loud that the rookie was shocked, with his mouth half open and drool still hanging from his mouth.
"Your mother, if two brothers hit each other, it doesn't count!" In the woods, the chaotic sounds finally calmed down. Someone patted their clothes and complained in a nonchalant tone: "If you have the guts, come back another day!"
"Hehe." Jack smiled sinisterly: "One day we will still be two brothers. You can't become an older brother and a younger brother."
"I have a wife now, and if I have a wife, I can have a son!" Lieutenant General Haiert sat down proudly, his big ass crushing a piece of grass: "You two don't even have a fart, you are a bachelor!"
"When will you spit out the ivory?" Lieutenant General Moya vaguely knew that his brother was emotionally entangled, and glared at Haiert: "What's the point of having a wife to show off? If someone doesn't help, you don't know where you are now.
It’s here!”
"Hehehehehe..." Being teased, Haiert smiled honestly. After taking a sip of wine, he suddenly looked at Jack: "What? Listen to your brother's tone, you kid is doing this.
Is there a show?"
"Hey..." It's okay not to say this. As soon as he mentioned this, Jack let out a long sigh and dropped his head.
"What's wrong? Whose girl is such a naughty girl?" Looking at this, Jack is in trouble. His brother can't be looked down upon. In addition, Helter has become accustomed to being a leader in the past two years, and his every move is...
In a master's tone: "Who is so ignorant? Don't worry, tell me, when it gets dark, I will personally go out and tie you back..."
A foot flew from the side and kicked Geert into a somersault.
"Damn! I helped your brother, why did you kick me!" Haiert spat out the grass in his mouth, cursed and got up to fight again, but was interrupted by Jack's second long sigh. He turned around and saw that the justice was full of satisfaction.
His face was sad and extremely depressed.
"Could it be that..." After marriage, Helter learned a lot from his wife, and now he is said to be full of knowledge - but in fact, he is full of crooked poems. Seeing Jack's expression at this time, the expression on his face became serious and he lowered his voice.
Question: "Are you a married woman?"
Jack shook his head and poked the soil under his feet with his fingers.
"Could it be...could it be..." In an instant, Haiert's face turned pale: "The other party is a young master?"
"Your mother!" The person next door kicked her out of the sky again, and Haiert was chewing mud again.
Helter got up, and as soon as he spit out the grass from his mouth, the curse words were choked back by the roasted chicken leg.
Moya withdrew his hand coldly, tore off another chicken leg and handed it to his brother: "This kind of thing only belongs to two people. Don't let others make random ideas. You have a lot of ideas. In the end, Jack has to make the decision himself? Since he
If you can do it well, the Chief Justice, won't you know how to rob people at night?"
"What about the judge? Yes, your brother is smarter than us, but he is not as murderous as me." Haiert gnawed on the chicken leg and said vaguely: "Okay, don't talk about it, just eat, these spices
But I came out of the palace last time..."
"Well, it tastes really good, with the flavor of little Princess Qinlun." Moya nodded: "When I passed through the Holy Capital a few days ago, I only saw a few princes. Little Princess Qinlun didn't seem to be in the palace."
"Of course not." Jack licked the oil on his fingers: "I went to Xindu with Crow a few days ago."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The two lieutenants looked at each other and continued to eat meat.
"What's wrong?" The sudden silence during dinner always seemed very abrupt. Jack immediately noticed the abnormality, raised his head, and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
"Well, this is it." Haiert spat out the bone residue in his mouth, glanced at Jack, and said in a slow voice: "Counting the crow and the little princess, there must be quite a few people rushing to the new capital!"
"Isn't this normal?" Jack's position limited the information he could get to be comprehensive: "That's the new capital, everyone should have gone there, right?"
"Really? If we think about it in time, where are the people who didn't go?" Moya used a knife to cut half of the wild boar on the other side: "If we contact him again one month ago, where is the whereabouts of the first princess?
?”
Jack is a smart man. Once he was pointed out by someone, he understood the strangeness of the matter: "Is this... something big happened? No, the information I received this morning said that the emperor and the imperial concubine were already on their way.
It's on the way to Xindu, and there's even an approximate location."
"It's this location that makes people feel strange. Korn and Gafilin, they have been missing for a full month. Why are they there? For more than a month, they have not given any other orders, so they just asked us to go to Xinjiang."
That's all." Haiert snorted coldly: "Why are only the officials of the old faction left in the Holy Capital? And all of us are here?"
"Stop making random guesses. What else could happen to Cohen? Even if something happens, if it reappears, it means the matter is resolved." Moya took over: "Isn't it okay to just do your own thing? Don't worry about it.
Those old officials."
"Don't be careless here. Is it just that the officials are divided into two parts?" Haiert was a little dissatisfied: "Where is your army? Why do you just go on this road with a light car? Don't think that I don't know anything except being a soldier.
…”
Moya smiled slightly, threw a piece of meat, and Haiert caught it: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do? For me, there is only one road in the world. No matter what the situation, I can only walk on this road." Moya answered lightly: "Actually, the key to the matter is Cohen. He
Whatever you choose is what you choose. For me, leading millions of people is not as easy and interesting as traveling with a few people."
"That's right!" Haiert laughed: "Don't say that the empire we built with our own hands doesn't have the turn to be criticized by others. Even if we don't have fun anymore, we can still build another one in two or three years! With Cohen here, we can
What else can’t be done?”
"Can't you shut your mouth with so much meat?" Moya glared at him again: "What an empire, what a country, are you drunk too much?"
"Bah! You are almost as good as Carlos." Helter said nonchalantly: "My people are all around you, and no one knows you sleep with your butt naked!"
"This matter may not be as we estimated, and it may have already passed. If other people besides the person involved mention it rashly, it may worsen the matter or resurgence. So, you'd better watch your mouth.
." Moya still had a calm expression, and looked at his younger brother: "We are in the military, and every move has an impact. But your job is different. Listen more, watch more, and think more. If something really happens,
, you must rush to the front."
"I know." Jack understood what his brother meant and nodded: "I will go and lay the foundation for others so that they will not be confused when things happen."
"Actually, not many people need to know." Moya smiled: "Cohen has summoned everyone in the new capital."
"Eat, eat, three people can't finish half a pig. If you tell me, you will be laughed at by others!" Seeing that all the things that should be said have been said, Haiert started to become unserious again: "Um, let me tell you, my wife, you
Have you met? She has some new sisters. She wants to meet the world-famous Lieutenant General Moya. Please tell me something... don't stare at me, I won't do that... I'm telling you,
Those girls are all very cool, if you don’t want them there will be people rushing to get them..."
"If people who have wives are like you, I don't think it's okay to not have this wife..."
"You and Jack are not related! You and Carlos are two brothers! Ah... again!" (To be continued)
