China's land is sinking, demons are rampant, order is broken, hundreds of families are standing up, and princes are vying for hegemony!
After tens of thousands of years of conquests, the five major suzerain states of the Eastern Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Southern Wei, Northern Jin, and Middle Tang Dynasty resisted the demon barbarians outside the territory, and brought the princes to sign the iron law to suppress the demons. The climax of 23S.
Fastest update
However, people's hearts are uncertain, internal worries are constant, suspicions are rising, Xixia and Beijin have fallen one after another, and humans and demons are dancing together in China.
In the Chinese Calendar, in AD 9655, the Eastern Song Dynasty was defeated by the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the Mid-Tang Dynasty mediated. The Eastern Song Dynasty sent the princes and grandsons, countless gold foil treasures, and annual tributes. The war between the Southern Wei Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty was suspended, and the vitality was seriously damaged.
At this point, the Mid-Tang Dynasty dominated the prosperous middle land and overpowered the princes of the four countries.
Five years later, one of the eight kings with different surnames in the Eastern Song Dynasty, the grandson of King Wu - Ming Dynasty, in the 13th year of his life, his mother Gu Yun died of illness due to longing for her. Emperor Chihaer of the Northern Jin Dynasty, out of consideration for the laws of nature and human relations, pardoned her and returned home to observe filial piety.
In the Eastern Song Dynasty, he sent some materials and goods to express his gratitude, which showed his weakness and incompetence!
…
Three months later, a few hundred miles away from Bianliang City, the imperial capital of the Eastern Song Dynasty, the sparse escorts and imperial guards, which obviously did not comply with the regulations for welcoming a direct heir to a prince, marched slowly towards the imperial city.
"Please Commander Gu, please save the young prince!"
Suddenly, the cavalry stopped, and a thin, one-armed old man rolled and crawled and ran under a tall horse, begging with tears in his eyes.
The man on the horse was wearing blue and black armor. He was not tall, about forty years old. His face looked slightly tired, his brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of worry.
This person is none other than the commander of the imperial guard for this trip—Gu Zhengyang!
"Wu Fu, my commander took the young prince's pulse yesterday. Although he was weak, why did something happen again?"
Lifting the car curtain, Gu Zhengyang grabbed the withered and pale wrist, and his face suddenly sank. Looking at Wu Ming, who was far thinner than his peers, almost breathless, and pale, his eyes flickered, and he secretly complained.
“Although my pulse was weak yesterday, it will definitely not cause trouble today.
Do you really want to spend your life energy on this kid to stay alive and affect your cultivation?"
I don’t know how much of his hair turned gray during this errand. It was far from the easy pick-up task that outsiders thought!
If it were easy, it wouldn't take months.
"Master Gu, I beg you to take action. When the young prince returns home, he will definitely prepare a generous gift..."
Seeing his suddenly gloomy expression, Wu Fu's heart pounded, and he kowtowed and begged.
Who would have thought that this old man with a haggard face and an old man who was almost stepping into the coffin with one foot had once dominated the world. Even the rich and powerful people in the imperial capital of Bianliang City did not dare to ignore him.
Now, he has to grovel before a small commander of the imperial army.
"Commander Gu, he died. I can only blame him for his short life. The young prince was already weak and sick. It was a long and tiring journey, so there was bound to be an accident. No one can blame him.
Dying here is not necessarily any better than entering the imperial city. There is no need to waste your life energy on a dying person!
You are at the critical moment of breaking through your innate ability, but don’t let this..."
A tall, thin young man with a sinister face and wearing light brown-red armor walked over and said slyly.
"Lin Kang, don't talk nonsense..."
Gu Zhengyang's body trembled, he turned his head and shouted fiercely, a cold light burst out from his eyes.
Almost instantly, he concluded that Wu Ming's sudden worsening of condition was probably related to it!
"Commander Gu, with your current level of cultivation, you will be able to break through your innateness within a few years. You are also a military strategist. Whether you are a general on one side, or you are opening up a border town in the wilderness, your future and wealth are at your fingertips. If you really want to work for a
Are you a mortal waste and ruining your future?"
Lin Kang was calm and sneered, completely unafraid of the murderous gaze.
"Captain Lin is really amazing, but I didn't notice you..."
Gu Zhengyang's steel teeth almost shattered him, and he took every precaution along the way. Unexpectedly, when the mission was about to be completed, he fell short and was tricked by the people around him.
"You... you..."
Wu Fu's face was ashen, and his dim old eyes were full of despair.
"Old dog, if you didn't die at the hands of the prairie monsters, it would be an advantage for you to be able to see your homeland in your lifetime. How dare you make noise here?
This captain sends you..."
Lin Kang's eyes were like those of poisonous snakes. He waved his hand and slapped him in the face. The wind roared in his palm, as if he could kill Wu Fu with one slap!
Gu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, with a look of struggle in his eyes. For him, Wu Ming died outside the imperial city, or returned alive, each had its own advantages and disadvantages.
Boom!
Thunder suddenly broke out on the ground. Lin Kang was so frightened that he trembled and his palms were scattered!
The eyes of the three people were stunned by the thunder in the day, and they looked around blankly.
Except for the imperial guards who were frantically checking, there was no abnormality at all. It was as if the thunder just now did not happen, and there was no reason for it!
He didn't notice at all that a faint golden light suddenly flashed across the body of the seemingly dead Wu Ming, and he struggled to open his eyes. His chapped lips were stuck with lip debris, and bloodshot eyes slowly seeped out. He said weakly: "Water,
water……"
"Wake up, wake up, the young prince is awake, Mr. Gu, hurry up and treat His Highness!"
Wu Fu screamed, and everyone heard it.
His old body seemed to be rejuvenated. He found a kettle at an unprecedented speed, took a sip himself, and then carefully and tremblingly fed it to Wu Ming.
Gu Zhengyang stepped forward to feel for his pulse, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly discovered that Wu Ming had grabbed his wrist at some point.
Yes, caught, not held!
He clearly felt the force coming from this pale and thin palm covered with veins, and the pair of eyes that made his heart palpitate inexplicably.
There was no prayer, no despair, and even at that moment, I vaguely saw a fleeting and stunning divine light!
"Commander Gu!"
Lin Kang's face was sinister, and his voice was as low as a ghost seeking death.
"Hmph! My mission as commander is to safely escort the young prince back to the imperial capital to observe his filial piety. As for other matters, I will not consider them.
Mr. Wu, this is the ninth-grade Qing Miao Dan, which is enough to protect your heart. When you return to the capital, you will be taken care of by the imperial physician!"
Gu Zhengyang snorted coldly and took out a porcelain bottle from his inner armor with a look of reluctance. He gently poured out a pill that was about the size of a broad bean and exuded a faint fluorescent aroma, and drank it for Wu Ming, supplemented by the refining power of Zhenqi.
Wu Ming's pale cheeks regained a trace of rosiness at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Wu Fu let out a long sigh of relief and express his gratitude.
"Hmph, as long as this kid has the breath to enter the imperial city, I will have completed the mission. As for what happens afterwards, it is the business of those high-ranking big shots and has nothing to do with me!"
Gu Zhengyang glanced at Lin Kang coldly, his meaning was self-evident!
For him, the amount of energy consumed in keeping an awakened person alive and extending the life of a dying person is negligible.
You will naturally understand how to choose!
As for the person behind offending Lin Kang, he also has a backer. As long as he steps into Xiantian, there is nowhere in the world that he cannot go to?
Lin Kang lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Wu Ming without any trace, only to find that he was staring at him at some point. His heart trembled for no reason, and he hurriedly leaned away and walked away.
"Damn it, how could I be afraid of a kid who's going to die soon?"
…
"Mr. Wu, prepare some hot water for the young prince, rest for an hour before going on the road!"
After a few breaths, Gu Zhengyang retracted his palm and walked out of the car indifferently.
Wu Fu looked embarrassed. He didn't dare to leave even half a step away at this moment. What happened before had scared 90% of his life!
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, we will reach the imperial city in a hundred miles, and there will never be any problems again!"
Gu Zhengyang made a solemn promise and ordered his close guards to guard him and strictly forbid anyone from approaching the carriage. Only then did Wu Fu prepare the hot meal with peace of mind.
At this stage, he also does not dare to take it lightly. Everything he eats and drinks must go through his mouth first.
"General Gu's life-saving grace will be rewarded generously in the future!"
Wu Ming tilted his head slightly. Although his breath was weak, his voice was extremely calm.
"It's your duty, young prince, don't worry about it!"
Gu Zhengyang left without looking back, obviously not thinking that a dying young prince could give him any generous reward.
Entering the imperial city is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den for this young prince. Whether he can survive until tomorrow is unknown.
What's more, as a soldier, I have deep respect for the young prince who was sent to the grassland as a hostage since he was a child, and the King of Wu who made great contributions to the Eastern Song Dynasty, but neither father nor son died a good death.
.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, deep down in his heart, he still hopes that King Wu's lineage can continue!
"Hehehe, it's interesting. The Eastern Song Dynasty, Western Xia, Southern Wei, Northern Jin, Middle Tang, Demon Barbarians, and Demon Chaos are really not on the earth anymore! But why do I feel that they are inexplicably familiar? China, China, hum...
…Lin Kang…shut up!”
No one noticed that Wu Ming, who was lying quietly in the carriage, was originally extremely weak. He slowly closed his eyelids and averted his two frightening gazes. He didn't look like he was waiting for death at all.
Wu Ming was murmuring inaudibly, frowning as if he was enduring pain. His messy hair covered his expression, which was completely unlike that of a young man, and he fell asleep!
…
"Huh? Such terrifying murderous intent! Is there a hidden killer? Those big shots wouldn't be stupid enough to carry out assassinations outside the imperial capital, would they?
Even if this kid is no longer welcome, he is still the only one of King Wu's flesh and blood. Aren't you afraid of being heartbroken for someone who has gone through life and death in the court?
Maybe, it’s my misunderstanding!”
Gu Zhengyang, who had been in the military for many years, looked back in horror, his eyes gleaming, and finally turned into a trace of suspicion.
Even he, the commander of the Forbidden Army, was so aroused by this substantial murderous intent that the hairs on his body stood on end!
From this we can see how terrifying that murderous aura is!
"Hmph, you'd better be honest and do your duty, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless.
As long as they enter the imperial city, no matter how ugly their appearance is to those big shots, it has nothing to do with me!"
Not finding the source of the murderous aura, Gu Zhengyang glanced coldly at Lin Kang, who was poking his head from time to time. Gu Zhengyang had no doubt that the murderous aura was related to it.
A mere Lin Kang was no match for him. How could he unleash such murderous intent?
Disturbed by this inexplicable murderous aura, Gu Zhengyang ordered to move forward quickly and rushed towards the imperial city in an orderly manner.
…
Looking from a distance, the towering city, like an ancient giant beast, stretches across the sky and the earth, seeming to be able to withstand endless natural disasters and catastrophes in the world.
The city wall is made up of several meters long dark blue stone strips. It is a hundred meters high when you look at it. The mottled marks exude a majestic and chilling atmosphere, which makes people feel awe!
It is unimaginable that such a majestic city was built by manpower!
"Finally here!"
Looking at the tall city gate, Gu Zhengyang let out a long breath.
"Damn it, Gu Zhengyang, you will regret it sooner or later. Fortunately, this little bastard has been in a coma. As long as the news is leaked..."
Lin Kang looked extremely gloomy. He approached the carriage shaft several times along the way, but was stopped every time. Before he could finish his vicious thoughts, he was interrupted by a voice.
"I, Wu Ming, the grandson of King Wu, am back!"
Wu Ming, who was originally unconscious in the car, walked out at some point, trembling and holding on to the railing, shouted loudly, and fell heavily back into the car.
"This kid..."
Gu Zhengyang was stunned, an inexplicable arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, he led the team into the city.
He didn't pay attention to Lin Kang who left with a distorted face, nor did he care about the people who were pointing and almost in an uproar at the city gate. He didn't even care that the proton returned to the court, but no one came out of the city to greet this man, who was regarded as the most 'noble' man in the Eastern Song Dynasty.
A young man who is one of a kind does not conform to the rules.
Gu Zhengyang only knew that after entering the imperial city, the mission was completed.
Whether it is wind or rain, cloudy or sunny, the retreat after handing over the task will be blocked!
