Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 2: Mighty King II

In August of the third year of Emperor Yincheng, at the end of summer.

Emperor Capital, Apocalypse City.

The night is already deep. Looking down from the Taiqing Pavilion rising from the clouds, the city is like a giant lying on its back, sleeping in the darkness of night, and there are faint lights in the streets and alleys in the distance. The night wind was cool, and the man in armor was overlooking from the pavilion, and the wind pulled his red cloak and slowly fluttered it.

Footsteps came from bottom to top, and a man in a broad robe climbed up the stairs, bowing behind the armored man in salute.

"They said that in his last days, Bai Yin liked to look out here, his own city." The man in armor said casually.

"It is said to be the highest place in Tianqi City. It is said to be the Taiqing Pavilion, but it actually looks like a tower." The man in the toga also answered casually.

"It's so quiet."

"How can it be quiet?" The man in the toga smiled, his smile was gentle, but with a mockery without consideration, "This is the apocalypse, the center of power in the world, and there is thunder rolling in the silent place. It is the head Sleeping lion, when you wake up, you still want to eat people."

"Come late at night, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. I don't dare to harass the prince when he's in a trance. Xie Xuan knows this rule. Liguo cable reports that the situation in Jiuyuan is imminent. I think the Marquis of Moli County is going to call himself Li. public."

The man in armor turned around, his eyes were cold, and his pupils were dark brown and extremely bright, like burning coals: "My nephew is going to serve the emperor, and then he will take my people who leave the country Come to the capital of the emperor to serve the king, kill his uncle, and dedicate his head to the emperor?"

"Well, I don't think it's impossible. However, the excuse now is that the eldest son is ineffective in governing the country, he is incompetent, and many hungry people in various places starved to death this spring. Therefore, the Marquis of Moli County is going to ask the eldest son to abdicate , return power to the people."

The man in armor smiled coldly: "I'm not dead yet. My son is just the prince who left the country. Is there anyone in the world who says that the prince abdicated? Return the power to the people? Or let my lovely nephew be killed?" The people entrusted them to enter the palace and become the masters of Jiuyuan City?"

"No way, the petitions from all over the country are indeed like this. What the Marquis of Moli County said is also true. The eldest son is not a talent for governing the country. The prince should have known it long ago."

The man in armor shook his head: "I know he is a waste, but he is my son after all, and I don't want to believe that he is such a waste."

"If you are in danger, please make a decision early." The man in the toga bowed.

"Xie Xuan, what do you think we should do?"

"As long as the prince's military flag is replanted on the head of Jiuyuan City, I don't think anyone will dare to talk about returning to power or abdicating."

The man in armor didn't answer, but turned around and looked into the distance.

For a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Xie Xuan, we have been trapped in the imperial capital, has it been almost seven years?"

"Yes, there is one month left, which is seven years. Seven years ago, Xie Xuan followed the prince to plant the military flag on the head of the imperial capital. Xie Xuan will never forget that scene."

"We won the imperial capital and defeated the princes, but we couldn't return to our hometown and became trapped beasts in a cage." Shame."

"The surprise attack of the five thousand thunder cavalry and the great victory in the **** battle of Suoheshan, no one dares to laugh at such a record that will shine through the future generations. But this move is indeed too hasty. With the current situation, we There is no great advantage in continuing to occupy the imperial capital. Although the emperor is in our hands, the princes may not have much loyalty to the emperor. The hostage in our hands is of little use. The armies of the kingdoms have separated us from the country. Relying on Tianqi City's resources to support itself, it has become difficult to replenish soldiers recently. The troubles of the Marquis of Moli County may not be the result of the instigation and instigation of the princes behind. If the prince does not come to Jiuyuan in person, I am afraid that we will lose us. The old country is gone." The man in the toga bowed again, "Xie Xuan please again, the prince will make the decision."

"My nephew, does this kid still hate me? That's why he was so easily incited and abetted."

"The prince killed his father, your biological brother, he should naturally hate the prince."

"But I didn't treat him unfairly by teaching him to raise him. And his father once put a knife on my neck, what choice do I have? Should I take care of my brother and wait for his father to stab me Cut it off and kill me, and then will my nephew feel his uncle's benevolence and cry on the day of my death to comfort my wronged soul?"

The man in the toga laughed: "A man like the prince shouldn't complain like this. What the world remembers is that the prince killed his younger brother. They have forgotten that it was the prince of Moli County who carried the sword to the prince. Pushed to the edge of the cliff. Because the prince won, the world hates the prince, and the current Moli County Marquis is no exception. This is the prince's overlord's destiny."

"The world is really stupid." The man in armor said coldly.

"Yes, Xie Xuan thought so too." The man in the toga replied respectfully.

The two smiled at each other, with a cold smile and warm eyes.

"Is it a pity to finally give up this city?" The man in the toga waved his finger to the distance, "After all, it is the apocalypse of the city of ten thousand cities. If you compare it to a woman, she is the most beautiful woman in the world. The pavilion here Goulian is as beautiful as a cloud, and beautiful women are all passing by. If you talk about a rich and noble town, Nanhuai, Wanzhou is no more than that? But we have come, but we have to leave eventually. "

"Yes, it's a pity." The man in armor nodded, "But it's very difficult for a woman to stay with you for the rest of your life. Besides, I'm a man in armor in this city, not in a suit. People from Lingluo, I know that every inch of the land in this city is filled with the blood of my children from the country, so I don’t want to see a piece of blood-soaked land as a woman’s chest and refuse to go.”

He suddenly turned around and walked down the steps: "According to what you want, order the three armies! Report to me when you are ready!"

"Decree!" The man in the toga bowed to the military order.

He took off the toga on his body, threw it on the ground without looking at it, and followed the footsteps of the man in armor. Under his toga, he was dressed in silver-colored armor with fish scales, shining coldly under the moonlight.

The city is full of men in armor and swords.

The handmaiden held up the royal robe embroidered with gold. Emperor Dayin, later known as Emperor Yincheng, Bai Hui took the seat with the support of his concubines and put on the imperial robe.

This is the east side hall of Taiqing Palace, and the towering Taiqing Pavilion can be seen from the window. The morning sun was warm and soft, but the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy.

Ever since Ying Wuyi became the master of Tianqi City, the emperor has seldom visited early. Compared with his ancestors in the past, Bai Hui may not be a weak and incompetent emperor. If he can, he also wants to show his majesty in the court. It's just that as long as the majestic lion stands by, no matter what the emperor says, it's just the humming of a sheep. The lion hasn't eaten the sheep yet, it's just that he isn't hungry yet.

So the ministers of the royal family came and went to discuss and persuade the emperor to go to the morning court less often, and only discuss things in this side hall. The officials withdrew together, avoiding Ying Wuyi's eyes and ears. This aggrieved small court has been maintained for two years. For Emperor Cheng Baihui, this is the only land he rules.

"Oh, my back is really about to break, I'm afraid it was blown by the wind last night." The emperor sighed and stood up reluctantly.

The concubines were quite well-behaved, they went up to help him beat his back, and rubbed the muscles of his legs if they couldn't occupy space. Before he came to the throne, Bai Hui was a king of Guangchang who only wanted to enjoy himself. He spent half of his life on articles and half of his time on women. His body was weak, and when he got up early every day to discuss matters, he always felt a little unwell.

The ministers were half bowed below, not daring to make a sound.

"Masters, if you have anything to say, it's okay." The emperor sighed lowly and shook his head, "Last night, Ying Wuyi brought a hundred thunder knight warriors into the palace, and went to the Taiqing Pavilion to have a look. In the middle of the night, I didn’t dare to sleep. I didn’t close my eyes for a while until he left. You ministers, I, the emperor, have done such a disgraceful job. If you have anything to say, I’ll listen.”

The ministers looked at each other.

"Chu Weiguo General Bai Yi's secret envoy sent a letter of greetings yesterday, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the princes have never forgotten His Majesty's suffering."

"Never forget my suffering?" The emperor smiled wryly, "These people, except that they don't have as strong a hand as Ying Wuyi, are also the same as Ying Wuyi. Who cares about my life?"

"Your Majesty is merciful. Other princes may have evil intentions, but General Bai Yi of Chu Wei State is indeed a loyal minister of the country and can be entrusted with his life." Another person came out.

"I'm afraid I don't have this life to entrust to him!" The emperor repelled his courtiers impatiently and spread his hands, "Ying Wuyi entered the palace so late at night, he almost regarded the Taiqing Palace as his own backyard. If he wants to kill me, who can stop a hundred thunder cavalry from rushing in? I still have my life when I get up in the morning, but it’s hard to tell where my head is at night. Where do you give me the confidence to wait for the princes to come and serve the king?"

"I think Your Majesty can write a letter to Ying Wuyi on this matter. After all, this Taiqing Palace is the place where the emperors of Dayin ruled, and it has its own dignity. No matter what, Ying Wuyi is still a vassal of our dynasty. The privilege of entering the palace through Xuanzhao!" said an old minister.

"No privilege?" The emperor sneered.

"I think His Majesty's letter is fine, but it's not appropriate to reprimand him. I see that Ying Wuyi has no murderous intentions towards His Majesty, but only uses it to blackmail the princes. Your Majesty can speak softly, follow persuasion, and give him some hints." Respect." Another courtier said.

The emperor was just about to show off, when another courtier came out: "I think so too. I heard that Ying Wuyi entered the palace, but because of Mu Taiqing Pavilion's reputation as the highest place in the imperial capital, he really entered the palace to have a look. Yes, there is no evil intention. This person is a countryman from the Southern Barbarians, as long as His Majesty shows tolerance and grace, it is not impossible for him to show respect to His Majesty on the surface."

The emperor was even more angry.

An old minister came out and sighed: "Your Majesty, please calm down and restrain yourself. The words of the ministers may not be pleasant, but it is indeed the current situation. Nowadays, people are using swords and I am fish and meat, but the royal family's reputation is exchanged for a little respect. We can do it." Yes, it’s just waiting for the king.”

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slumped softly on the throne: "Is there really another time to be king..."

Footsteps sounded anxiously, and an inner **** almost scrambled into it: "Ying... Ying Wuyi... coming this way, I can't stop it! I can't stop it!"

The emperor was so shocked that he left his seat, almost without thinking about it, he was about to retreat to the back of the palace, and the officials were also panicked, as if pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered were trapped in one place and bumped back and forth. However, it was already too late, just after the inner eunuch's footsteps, an even heavier footstep followed closely. Someone suddenly lifted the curtain at the entrance of the east side hall, and a large amount of sunlight came in. A burly armored figure strode into the hall, stood by the door, and looked coldly at the emperor from a distance.

His eyes were dark brown and bright, like burning coals.

"Li...His Royal Highness Li is here..." The voice of the most courageous courtier trembled.

"Put it all away, and there is no need to discuss how to deal with me in this place. I already knew about the morning here, but I am not interested in what you are talking about. I just came to tell you that I am leaving Tianqi today , together with all my army horses riding Thunder from the Red Army." Apocalypse Guardian, Duke Li Ying Wuyi said in a cold voice, "One more thing I want to tell you all is that I have no interest in your ruined city. I want this This city is just the beginning of my desire to conquer the world!"

"Without this city, I can still have this world. So, if I throw it away, I throw it away." Ying Wuyi turned and went out.

There was a crowd of stunned people left. After a long time, the emperor's body softened and he sat down.

Ying Wuyi left Tianqi just as suddenly as when he arrived.

After blatantly disrespecting the emperor and declaring that he would conquer the world, he left the Taiqing Palace. There was a charcoal-red steed waiting for him outside the palace gate, and behind the horse were 50,000 elite soldiers who left the country. This army of tigers and wolves, which terrified the ministers of the imperial capital, withdrew from Tianqi City within a day. It took a long time before people dared to enter the camp where the Li army was stationed. Facing the empty camp, people couldn't believe their eyes.

In August of the third year of Emperor Yincheng, Ying Wuyi mobilized all the powerful troops stationed in the imperial capital from Liguo, 50,000 cavalry, and marched southeast through the foot of Suohe Mountain, intending to open up the passage between the imperial capital and Liguo.

This battle started after the Battle of Suoheshan, Liguo and Tianqi were separated by the coalition forces of the princes. Ying Wuyi, the lion, has been trapped in the imperial capital for a long time, and there is no tyrannical master in Liguo. People's hearts are scattered, and news of civil strife gradually spread. Ying Wuyi made a sharp decision, raised his troops again, and fought all the way along Jianshui to Liguo in the southeast. The six major powers among the fifteen countries once again joined forces to fight, and finally stopped the momentum of the Li army's advance at the "Second Great Pass in East China" at Shangyang Pass.

This year, King Xie Yulie was eighteen years old.
