In the southernmost part of the Daxia Empire, there is a city that is quite legendary.
The city is a city of the Daxia Empire, and about a hundred miles south is the Dai Viet Empire.
Because both empires possess great strength, their relationship has never been harmonious, and neither one considers itself to be any weaker than the other.
Since there is discord and since both want to prove that they are stronger than the other party, war becomes the only option.
Especially in the past few hundred years, the war between the Daxia Empire and the Dai Viet Empire has almost never stopped. The two sides attacked each other, and each had its own victory or defeat.
Therefore, the Daxia Empire once lost dozens of cities, regained them, and lost them again.
The same goes for the Dai Viet Empire, which once lost almost the same number of cities, regained them, and lost them again.
But no matter how the two sides attacked, how many times their respective cities changed hands, there was such a legendary city that had never been captured by the cavalry of the Dai Viet Empire for hundreds of years.
This city is called Shuo City.
Hundreds of years ago, a local soldier named Liang grew up step by step, and was eventually awarded a title for his military merits, and he became the lord of this city.
After him, there were eight generations of Liang family members, all of whom defended the city to the death, even at the expense of everything they could.
Even the head of the Liang family, more than ten people have died in the battle to defend the city.
Until now, Shuo City is still the same Shuo City, the same Shuo City guarded by the Liang family.
And the current head of the Liang family, who is also the current head of Shuo City, is Liang Shiqi...
He didn't originally have this name, but he changed it to this name after he became the city lord.
Because before him, sixteen family heads had died in the battle to defend the city, so he wanted to be the next one, so he changed his name to Liang Shiqi!
Liang Shiqi is no ordinary person!
In addition to the Lord of Shuo City, he is also one of the five great sages of the Daxia Empire.
He is Liang Shiqi, the loyal soul of eight generations guarding Shuo City, whose bloodline is unbreakable and the city cannot be broken!
Even his subordinates are terrifying to the enemy!
…
Decades ago, the war in the north of the Great Xia Empire was intense. Under the attack of the demon clan, even the then imperial capital Luocheng was lost, and the late emperor also died in Luocheng.
Therefore, from that time on, the empire's defense focus was placed on the north.
This also resulted in fewer and fewer troops guarding the south, and fewer and fewer supplies.
As for the source of troops, Shuo City has not received new sources of troops for thirty or forty years.
But even so, Liang Shiqi still led his subordinates to resist the waves of offensives from the Dai Viet Empire like a rock, firmly controlling Shuo City in the hands of the Da Xia Empire.
It is for these reasons that Liang Qi is very tired.
His subordinates were also tired.
Their fatigue may only be alleviated by death, because as long as they are alive, they are the elite defenders of the city and the unshakable guardians of the empire.
Then, they are all old!
They became the "white-haired soldiers" in the eyes of the soldiers of the Dai Viet Empire, an army that was terrifying and awe-inspiring to their opponents.
Now these white-haired soldiers appeared in Yin City.
They actually left Shuo City!
…
Looking at Liang Shiqi and the soldiers behind him who should have been old and frail but still as wolf-like as tigers, Li Chengshou's heartbeat accelerated a lot.
He knew how terrifying these soldiers were.
I also know how powerful Liang Shiqi is.
So he was very angry. The moment before he was about to realize his dream, he felt as if he was about to fail.
Looking at him, Liang Qiqi was not angry but said: "Li Chengshou, give up!"
Hearing this, Li Chengshou roared: "Why should you ask me to give up? Why?"
He has changed his title to "I".
This is because he really wanted to be emperor and was almost successful.
He was unwilling to do so.
"Li Chenghui has offended the gods. If he is still the emperor of our Great Xia Empire, the empire will definitely be punished by the gods and will be devoured by the anger of the Nether Spirit Sect!"
He threatened: "Only I, only I can get the Great Xia Empire to receive forgiveness from the gods, and even blessings and protection!"
"call……"
Taking a deep breath, Liang Shiqi looked at Li Chenghui as if he were looking at a dead person, and said: "Your palace is in peace!"
With just one sentence, Li Chenghui was suddenly shocked.
Evened...
Does this mean that his mansion has been captured by Liang Shiqi's soldiers?
Aren’t there saints and holy messengers inside?
Are they all dead?
Is it possible?
Li Chengshou's eyes trembled, and then he laughed: "Hahaha... nonsense, nonsense!"
Still looking at him calmly, Liang Shiqi said: "I used my own soldiers and many soldiers recruited along the way to pile them to death, and now they have all turned into ashes!"
Li Chengshou was finally sure, because he knew who those people who could be turned into ashes were.
"Why...is this like this?"
He felt very weak, even standing was tired, so he slumped down on the steps near the dragon chair.
Liang Shiqi left Shuocheng, why didn’t Zhennan’s third brother inform him?
How did such a large army hide its traces and avoid so many informants along the way?
He was puzzled: Could it be that his third brother no longer supported him?
Looking at Liang Shiqi, he asked: "What will happen to Shuo City when you come here? Didn't you swear a blood oath that you will protect Shuo City unless you die?"
Hearing this, Liang Qiqi still looked calm and confident, and said: "What I protect is Shuo City of the Great Xia Empire, not yours or the Shuo City of any Holy Sect! Since you want to change all this,
Naturally, I can only come here first to stop you from changing everything!"
This is the reason why Liang Shiqi appears here.
This is his truth!
What he protects is the Shuo City of the Great Xia Empire, not the Shuo City of Li Chengshou or any other Holy Sect!
So here he is!
"What will happen to me?"
Completely like a deflated balloon, Li Chengshou heard that the shouts of killing outside had subsided and knew that everything was irreversible.
That was all he could ask.
Looking at him, Liang Qiqi said: "Death!"
Hearing this answer, Li Chengshou felt very cold, as if his soul had also become cold: "But I am me, the son of the late emperor!"
"Li Chengshou, do you know the late emperor's true intention in naming you?"
Liang Shiqi still had no sadness on his face and said: "Hui is glory, the hope and future of the empire! Shou and Wei are the late emperor's expectations for you two brothers!"
I see……
When the late emperor named the prince Li Chenghui, he hoped that he would become the hope of the future of the Great Xia Empire, and that he would lead his people to help the empire regain its former glory.
As for Li Chengshou and Li Chengwei, it was the late emperor's expectations for these two sons.
I hope they will help their imperial brother and protect the country of the Great Xia Empire.
"Did you do it?"
Looking at Li Chengshou, Liang Shiqi asked.
Soon, without waiting for Li Chengshou's answer, he shook his head and said, "You didn't do it! On the contrary, it was you who colluded with external forces and tried to rebel and destroy our country! So..."
This time, Liang Shiqi didn't finish his sentence.
Because behind him, hundreds of white-haired soldiers had already roared.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, Liang Qiyi moved.
The hand holding the battle ax moved!
In the main hall, many of the elderly civil servants fainted.
…
"Second brother...is dead..."
In Lincang City, in a vast mansion, Li Chengwei, who was in the realm of King Wu, sensed something and sighed softly: "He died of his own ambition after all!"
Hearing this, a general stepped forward and asked: "Then... Shuo City..."
"The 20,000 cavalry should have arrived, right?" Li Chengwei thought for a while and said, "Deploy another 50,000 troops and rush to Shuo City day and night!"
"As you command!"
The general quickly bowed with fists in his hands and was about to leave.
"etc……"
Li Chengwei seemed to have thought of something again, and said: "When Liang Qi returns to Shuo City, he will command those soldiers! If he likes it, leave them all to him, and I will take care of the food, grass, military pay and other matters!"
"This...obeys your order!"
…
After the general left his study, Li Chengwei touched his neck and muttered to himself: "The terrible Liang Shiqi... I didn't expect that he actually dared to behead him..."
The "he" he said represents two people.
One person is still alive and one person is dead!
Then I remembered that when the dead man was still alive, I had secretly promised him that I would help him control the three major sects of the empire...
Thinking of this now, Li Chengwei feels a chill on his neck!
