Tianjing is the core capital of the Dasheng Kingdom. After entering this dreamlike city, Ji Chenxue felt as if he had arrived at an ancient fairy tale town in the Shenghui Federation. Although there is no big city here,
The city is full of high-rise buildings, but it is full of vitality. Even in the middle of the night, people are bustling with people, just like a dimly lit night market.
Looking at the small traders hawking along the street, Ding Meng felt infinite emotion in his heart. Forty years ago, he, Zheng Ming, and Ding Wenhe wandered all the way north, with the purpose of coming to this city of Kyoto to survive, but things went against their wishes.
I finally came today, but I came with a different identity.
At the entrance of the imperial city is a towering tower. When Ding Meng was very young, he heard people say that this tower was the symbol of the Dasheng Dynasty, because the attic at the top contained the largest Holy Spirit in the kingdom. Unfortunately, the attic at the top was not.
There was no breath, instead it was lifeless and dark.
The interior of the imperial city is brightly lit. Starting from the main hall, the Political Affairs Palace, the Jintang Palace, the Tingyue Pavilion, the Fighting Platform... and ending with the palace in the back garden, there are maids in palace attire and soldiers of the Imperial Guard along the way. Fortunately, Jiao Gu is accompanying him.
, Ding Meng and Ding Meng did not encounter any obstruction.
In a colorful garden, an exquisite and small palace is hidden in the night. This place is the king's palace.
At this time, a young eunuch came down from the gate and said in a deep voice: "The king has an order to invite two chosen people to come in. No matter who is waiting, they will leave the palace immediately."
Jiaogu suddenly felt secretly happy and asked Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue to come in and let him out of the palace, so that his old life could be saved.
Hearing this, Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect that the current king also knew about the chosen one.
The eunuch suddenly said again: "Mr. Jiaogu, there has been a sudden change in the Tian family. The king has decided to formally handle government affairs in the Yizheng Palace from tomorrow. You can rest now."
Jiaogu's expression changed. This decision meant that the monarch had taken back his agency power. "You can rest now" could be understood to mean that you are no different from ordinary people now.
"Why...why?" Jiaogu was a little panicked.
The eunuch said solemnly: "This is the king's decision. Please leave the palace immediately!"
As he spoke, he waved, and a sparkling jade piece flew out of Jiaogu's belt, and it was in the hands of the official in the blink of an eye.
Ding and Meng may not know what this is, but Jiaogu's expression changed drastically. This is the general military talisman of Dasheng. The reason why he can act as an agent in government affairs and Tianqing can sit in the position of general is because of this military talisman.
reasons.
Now that Tianqing has been destroyed, he naturally cannot keep his military talisman. Being recovered means that the monarch has regained control of the military power. Having military power in the kingdom means that he truly controls the government.
Seeing the eunuch's show, Ding Meng couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Kinetic telekinesis, rigid system war saint!"
The eunuch showed no emotion towards Jiaogu, but he was very respectful to Ding Meng: "I don't dare, please come in. The king is ill, so don't keep the king waiting for a long time."
Seeing the eunuch leading Ding and Meng in, Jiaogu fell into the ice cellar. Snowflakes fell from the sky, and he felt that his heart had sunk into the abyss of ten thousand years.
The reason why he has friends all over the world is not because he really has many friends, but because of his status. But if he loses his power, he will have no status at all. Over the years, he, the Tian family, the Bai family, and the Zhan family private
I don't know how many things were done to oppress the people, but their officials protected each other and suppressed all these things.
But now, there is no need for Ding Meng to take action. How many enemies and people at the bottom are eager for his death. The ending waiting for him will be endless darkness...
Inside the palace, Ding Meng looked at everything around him in surprise. This was a palace he was familiar with, because in the past many palaces inside the Divine Light Singularity looked like this. They were empty, with the rune logos of Miao Xing carved on the walls.
, there is a throne standing on the high platform due to the north. Next to the throne is a large bed. A weak man is lying on the bed, with very weak signs of life.
The eunuch explained: "After the Cangming Kingdom's army retreated thirty years ago, the king has been bedridden. During this period, he has sought out many famous doctors, but to no avail. He has been in this state."
Ding Meng said: "But you know the king's decision?"
The eunuch smiled bitterly and said: "It's not me who knows, but the princess who knows."
"Princess?" Ding Meng was curious.
At this time, a female voice came from behind the curtain not far away: "Ding Meng, you have been away for thirty years, and you are finally back."
Ding Meng knew that there was someone behind the curtain, but the aura was too weak, so he thought it was a palace maid. At this moment, the beaded curtain was opened, and a dignified, elegant, and mature figure slowly walked in.
Seeing this person, Ding Meng suddenly became excited: "Princess, have you been waiting for me?"
This person was none other than the princess of the Xianyou Kingdom and the wife of the eldest brother. The prophet who originally teleported him to the Devouring World unexpectedly appeared in the palace of the Dasheng Dynasty.
The princess's face turned red, and she was obviously very excited. She looked directly at Ding Meng: "Although it's been a six-year agreement, we have always believed in you, and I even sent Wen He to the world you went to."
Ding Meng really didn't know what to say. To him, Dasheng Kingdom was his hometown, and his eldest brother and princess Ding Wenhe was his family. He could only bend down towards the princess and bow deeply.
The princess smiled: "I guess you can cure this strange disease of the king!"
Ding Meng understood, turned around and said: "Chenxue, it's you who should do it!"
Ji Chenxue nodded, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and the bright stars on her fingertips rotated, and the magical point of divine light was brought out.
The singularity broke away from the finger and flew to the top of the big bed, and then spread out circles of light. Then both the princess and the eunuch saw it. Wisps of black mist seeped out from the king's body. When they encountered this halo, they shivered.
The chichi dissipated, the king's dark and sickly face was regaining its rosiness, and the aura on his body gradually returned to normal.
The eunuch was surprised and said: "May I ask, Lord Ding, what is the reason for this?"
Ding Meng smiled and said: "This is the breath of the demons infiltrating into the body. Ordinary people can't resist it under normal circumstances, but the king should be extremely determined and his mind has been resisting the inner demons, so there is always a breath left. If it were ordinary people, it would be long ago."
Dead."
The eunuch obviously didn't understand, but seeing that the king was recovering, he could only bow and thank him.
After a while, the king finally opened his eyes, and his whole body regained vitality. Even after so many years, his movements were still vigorous and his face was still handsome.
Ding Meng knew many years ago that this young monarch was different from those of Tian Qing Jiaogu. The monarch had always worked hard to govern, but unfortunately there were few ministers like him in the dynasty.
When he saw the king sitting up, Ding Meng bent down and cupped his hands and said, "Ding Meng, a citizen of the Caiyunping Kingdom of Dasheng, has met the king."
The monarch nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Jiang Yu, please go out. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ding."
The eunuch immediately bowed his head and resigned. It was not until he left the palace that the monarch looked at Ding Meng carefully, his eyes full of curiosity. He had never seen this chosen man before.
It took a long time for the monarch to speak, but Ding Meng was stunned by his first words: "Actually, we should know each other."
Ding Meng was stunned for a moment: "Oh?"
The monarch said solemnly: "My surname is Jiang, and my name is Jiang Cheng!"
Ding Meng frowned, he didn't understand what he meant.
The monarch continued: "My sister-in-law's name is Jiang Li. She died in the suburbs of Caiyunchi on the southern border more than forty years ago at the age of thirteen. At that time, I had not yet inherited the throne of the monarch, but when I sent people to find her, I heard that
Bad news."
Ding Meng was horrified and moved. The little girl's brother was actually the king of the country. This was really unexpected. However, the opportunities in the world were so wonderful. It was precisely because of the little girl and the tribune's life-saving rescue that the young girl was saved.
Ding Meng and Ding Wenhe survived. Unexpectedly, one day, Ding Meng came to Tianjing and rescued the dying monarch. All of this has its own cause and effect cycle.
Ding Meng handed over his hand again: "My sister-in-law Gao Yi, in exchange for my life and my eldest sister's life."
The monarch smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be polite, and I don't have to show you the courtesy of a monarch or a minister. In fact, for me, I have been waiting for your return."
Ding Meng was surprised and said: "Oh?"
The monarch's gaze fell into the distance, as if he was recalling the past: "You should now know about the attack by the Cangming Kingdom's army thirty years ago!"
Ding Meng nodded: "I am indeed very strange!"
The monarch immediately looked at the princess, who immediately explained: "Ding Meng, when I sent you away, it was also to protect you. You don't know how terrifying that army is. It cannot be resisted by human power."
Ding Meng frowned and said, "How do you say that?"
The princess showed a panicked look: "It was a demonized army made up of a mixture of humans, beasts, monsters, and foreign objects. Everyone has a kind of hostility. Once they fight, everyone will be extremely cruel, and they will all be killed."
This kind of black mist is exactly the same as the black mist that the girl sucked out of the king just now."
Ji Chenxue said in a deep voice: "That should be the demon army."
Ding Meng said: "But the level shouldn't be too high."
Ji Chenxue nodded. The strongest warriors in the Dasheng Kingdom at that time should be the junior war kings. The typical ones are the eldest brother and Tian Qing. Tian Qing is probably the one who broke through to the war saints in the next thirty years. If there really is a war god level
The demon warriors, it is estimated that the Dasheng Dynasty has been finished long ago.
The princess said: "This Cang Ming Kingdom army is so powerful that it is difficult for us to resist it. At that time, Tian Qing also led his army to the western border. My elder brother's suggestion was to retreat and fight at the same time to preserve the main force of the Kingdom's army so as not to harm the foundation.
.”
Ding Meng was right to think about this idea. Sometimes military games are more complicated than warrior contests, and all aspects of factors have to be taken into consideration, but the general principle is the same. You have to keep a trump card, whether it is counterattack or escape, so as not to be covered in mud.
Deep.
The princess added: "However, we have retreated to the outskirts of Tianjing Capital City. It is difficult for the Cangming Kingdom army to continue its expedition. It is unrealistic to capture the capital city in one go. We also suffered heavy casualties. It is not a big problem to defend the capital city, but
It's also unrealistic to fight back and drive them away."
Ding Meng said: "That's why the two parties negotiated?"
