The footsteps of the visitor were steady, powerful, and high-pitched, carrying a natural confidence and arrogance.
If you don't have a noble status, you won't be able to take such steps!
Chen Dong quickly "looked" towards the source of the sound.
Although it was pitch dark all around, he could hear voices and identify where people were.
In such a dark environment, the other party walked so smoothly, obviously knowing the terrain well.
The footsteps stopped and the other party stood outside the fence.
Immediately, a faint light ignited.
Chen Dong had not seen light for a long time, and even though the light source was weak, it still stung his eyes.
Chen Dong instinctively turned his face to the side. After a long time, he slowly adapted and looked towards the light.
That's a candle.
Yan Sheng was holding a candle and standing behind the fence, looking at Chen Dong calmly.
Chen Dong rushed forward, grabbing the railing with both hands and staring at Yan Sheng.
The two looked at each other in silence.
One is angry, the other is calm.
One has a fierce look on his face, while the other has a calm expression.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Sheng said slowly: "Why did you betray me?"
"What do you think?" Chen Dong sneered: "You usurped the throne of Tianjun, suppressed martial arts people, sent Hou Jimo to hunt me down, put my mother under house arrest in the Holy Palace, and forced me to do things for you - don't you
I shouldn’t ask, why didn’t I betray you?”
Yan Sheng was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "I want to tell you a story."
Chen Dong was stunned, wondering what story Yan Sheng was telling him at this time.
But Yan Sheng has already spoken.
"More than twenty years ago - I don't remember exactly twenty years ago, maybe twenty-one years ago, maybe twenty-two years ago - at that time, Tianjun was still in power, and you should not have been born yet, no
I know that time very well.”
"Understood." Chen Dong said: "Although I have not experienced it, I have learned it from history books."
"Oh? Tell me."
"At that time, although the people of Yanxia Continent lived a poor life, with average food and clothing, no high-rise buildings, and no cars, they lived and worked in peace and contentment and were spiritually rich."
"That's just an appearance." Yan Sheng said: "The actual situation is that because Tianjun emphasizes force and neglects technology, there is a trend of martial arts training, and the economy is not developing very well. At the same time, the economies of other continents are taking off, and technology is also
With each passing day, people’s living standards are much higher than ours.”
Chen Dong fell silent.
Because that is a fact, and it is indeed recorded in the history books.
Yan Sheng continued: "The Yan Dynasty has been founded for hundreds of years, and it has always been based on martial arts. No matter in the court or in the Jianghu, masters have always emerged in endlessly. But in that era, force was enough to stand firm in this world, without being affected by others.
Invasion of the mainland!
However, in modern times, with the development of science and technology faster and faster, various hot weapons have emerged everywhere. The so-called master, can you block the gun? Can you block the gun, can you block the cannon? Can you block the cannon, can you block bombs, can you block missiles, can you block
Got a nuclear bomb?"
Chen Dong continued to remain silent.
As a master, he knows the shortcomings of martial arts practitioners.
Yan Sheng sighed, and then said: "At that time, I advised Tianjun that this would not work. If technology cannot keep up, no matter how well you practice force, it will be useless. If other people's missiles come over, why don't you use a large number of them?
Can the master's body block it? Tianjun is stubborn and says that the Yan Dynasty has been like this for hundreds of years.
Is it? I said times have changed, and if this continues, Yan Xia will be destroyed in your hands. But he still didn’t listen, saying what’s wrong with the missiles, weren’t they sent out by humans, we have experts, kill them
Isn’t that enough? He still indulges in martial arts every day, or he goes to the rivers and lakes to drink and have fun with his friends..."
"Then you usurped his position?" Chen Dong asked through gritted teeth.
"No." Yan Sheng said: "Tianjun refuses to develop technology, so I have to do it secretly and support students to go to other continents and learn their advanced technology."
"That's good." Unknowingly, Chen Dong was attracted by Yan Sheng's story, and couldn't help but open up and chat with him: "Tianjun values force, and you value technology. Isn't it good that you two-pronged approach? ?”
"It was originally like this, but unfortunately something unexpected happened..."
Yan Sheng said solemnly:
"There were two accidents in total. The first was that I accidentally discovered that for the ancient kung fu of Yan Xia, other continents were inventing a serum. After injection, you can become a super warrior. Your speed and strength can be significantly improved, and your power can be greatly improved. No less than our masters! If their invention succeeds, our only advantage will be gone, and Yanxia Continent will be even more dangerous..."
Hearing what Yan Sheng said, Chen Dong's heart started beating fast and he couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
Yan Sheng glanced at Chen Dong and said: "Although martial arts practice is strong here, it takes a long time to train a master, and those who can reach the top are even rarer. If other continents can mass-produce super warriors, ours will It was troublesome, so I quickly followed up and arranged for scientific researchers to imitate the serum... but it failed. We don't have that capability."
Chen Dong couldn't help but frown.
Yan Sheng continued: "The second thing is that Tianjun was attacked."
"ah?!"
"At that time, there was a notorious organization in the world called the Jade Feng Sect, which specialized in picking flowers. Their disciples were running around and harming many innocent girls. The Heavenly Lord was furious and organized many people to surround and suppress the Jade Feng Sect. Unfortunately, They were too cunning, and they all ended in failure. The head of the Jade Bee Sect called himself Zhenren Jade Bee, and he was also an outstanding master. No one thought that he would dare to attack Tianjun... One night, Jade Bee The disciples of the sect suddenly rushed into the Holy Palace, and after a huge chaos, although they were repelled, Tianjun was also injured..."
Chen Dong really didn't know about this, and it wasn't written in the history books.
"Because of these two things, I once again advised Tianjun that we can't go on like this anymore. We must develop science and technology externally and restrain force internally, otherwise it will become more and more dangerous. Tianjun still refused to listen and said that he was a gangster. If you have many friends, you are not afraid of the Jade Bee Gate. I said that the Jade Bee Gate is just an introduction. This kind of thing will only become more and more common. When the time comes, there will be internal and external troubles. What will you do? The two of us quarreled more and more fiercely, and finally started to stir up trouble. Come on...
At that time, he had just finished fighting against the Jade Bee Gate, and he and the four guards around him were seriously injured. I asked Hou Jimo to kill them. Hou Jimo was about to do it, but I relented and just drove them away. Tianjun was busy traveling around and making friends, but he didn't know that many people inside and outside the court were already mine. The next day I announced that he had died of illness and he became the king legitimately.
After I became the monarch, I immediately vigorously developed science and technology while secretly suppressing force. I did not want to completely eliminate force. After all, this was the foundation of the Yan Dynasty, but I did not allow the power of the people to surpass the royal family! Especially those who had a good relationship with Tianjun. I tried every means to suppress, destroy, and prevent Tianjun from coming back. At the same time, I also started practicing martial arts, firstly to protect myself, and secondly because of the rules left by Yan Zu...
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and I know that Tianjun must still be alive. But I think he must be able to see the changes in Yanxia now. He is very strong in both economy and strength. There is no doubt that I am more suitable to be a monarch than him.
, he should be too shameless to come back.
But I never thought that he really..."
Having said this, Yan Sheng let out a long sigh again, looked at Chen Dong, and said with hatred: "Let him forget it, this country is his, it is natural for him to want to take it back. Why do you think so?"
?Your mother is here with me and your grandpa is still a handsome man. Are you going to rebel against me too?"
Chen Dong said solemnly: "Because of justice."
Yan Sheng was puzzled: "Justice?"
"Yes." Chen Dong said: "I don't care why you usurped the throne. Maybe it is as grand as you said, for the future and stability of Yanxia. But you have evil intentions and are narrow-minded, and you are even more serious in order to achieve your goal.
You will use any means necessary to seize your brother's position as king, and you will harm countless people in the world. I have done great service for you, and I will kill you at any time... People like you are not qualified to be a king!"
Chen Dong knew that he would not survive, so he simply said it frankly.
Yan Sheng snorted coldly: "What a joke, what do you think a monarch should be like? Are you the one who determines whether you are qualified to be a monarch? I tell you, one who can make the country strong and the people rich is a good one.
Monarch! As for the means, it doesn’t matter at all! A real man always does things informally!"
Just as Chen Dong was about to say something, Yan Sheng had already waved his hand and left.
"It's useless to tell you this. Anyway, I don't regret it! For your grandfather's sake, I won't kill you. You can just die here!"
Yan Sheng's voice gradually faded away.
"Wait!" Chen Dong shouted.
"What are you doing?" Yan Sheng stopped.
"How...is it going outside?"
Chen Dong actually has many things he wants to ask, such as how Tianjun and others are doing, how are the major leaders doing...
And his mother, his grandfather...
A lot of people are worried about him, right?
"Telling you, what's the use?" Yan Sheng sneered and walked away again.
In the end, it was silent.
The surrounding area also returned to darkness.
Chen Dong was very frustrated, but also extremely anxious.
He doesn't know how long he will stay here. Do he really want to die of old age in such a dark place?
…
Wuqu Palace, Yang Mansion.
Chen Dong has been missing for a month.
Ever since that night, when Chen Dong said, "When I go to Beijing, things are going to change," there has been no news since he left.
Nothing has changed in Beijing, but my son has disappeared.
How could Yang Suqin not panic?
During this period, Yang Suqin went to the Holy Palace countless times to inquire about news, and also made many phone calls to Marshal Yang.
Marshal Yang said: "Maybe the Holy One has arranged a task for Dongzi, so don't worry too much."
Although Marshal Yang said this, he was actually trying to find out more information.
That night, there was indeed the sound of fighting in the Holy Palace. The Shangsan clan and the generals even brought people there, but Yan Sheng kicked them out.
Finally, someone told him that Chen Dong might be locked up.
Charge: Treason.
Treason!
This is too terrible!
How could Chen Dong seek rebellion? He had no reason to do so!
But Marshal Yang was indeed panicking.
When Yang Suqin called him once, Marshal Yang said: "Go find Chen Dahong."
