February 569, Altienne Calendar, Eltienne, Central Capital

Due to Reins Thielen’s counterattack, all of them were attacked by meteorites falling wildly at night, resulting in chaos, house collapse and heavy losses. The great demon king Yinzhen, who was angered by this incident, put his body in Prince Xu Liewu, who was fighting on the front line, recalled Zhongdu and might be punished.

When the demons themselves are engaged in a power struggle, this news can be said to be a top priority. Through various intelligence channels, it spreads to the hands of leaders of all parties.

No matter what other people think of it, the person concerned only finds this matter very boring. He is busy on the front line, but he is summoned to the imperial capital by this kind of question. This is all because of the faint king.

Xu Liewu doesn’t think his father is a good man, but never thinks he is an incompetent person. Although Cao Shou’s actions are enough to rank in the top three on the list of faint kings of Eltinus, but Yinzhen, who was serious at the time, was beyond the reach of even the most outstanding emperor of El Tienor.

This time I transferred myself back from the front line, it must be for some reason, but I still can't guess it. However, it is very likely that this is also part of a certain kind of power operation. After all, at this moment when the two sides of the demon are fighting together, any movement of the Great Demon King will become the focus of attention. Perhaps the purpose of the father's doing this. , Is to convey what message to Shi Chong.

"Oh, but how to play with power, at least you have to consider the situation. This is the busiest time. The team is full of guys who don’t rely on their heads. When I’m not here, they don’t think about themselves. Kill it. After I go back, it would be bad if there are few living people left."

The racial conflict in the joint team has always been a headache for various wise leaders in history. Hulagu, who is in the same situation, is no exception. However, compared with the heroes and heroes of the past, Hulagu has One advantage is that he can also become a complete optimist when the situation cannot be controlled by himself.

"Forget it, people are always going to die anyway. They die early and live longer. Let them kill whatever they like and see who is left in the end. I will kill them all when I go back."

If the subordinates heard these words, they would definitely be shocked. Xu Liewu is not a bloodthirsty person, but the style of this passage is reminiscent of his mad brother Kiris, who is insulated from reason. There will be such a situation. In addition to excessive pressure, it is somewhat self-defeating, although the person involved does not want to admit it...

Riding on a unicorn with wings, Xu Liewu rushed to Zhongdu. Being able to take a vehicle flying in the sky, without having to fly with the power of the heavens, saves Hulagu a lot. This unicorn is said to be a rare species of the Demon World. It not only flies quickly, but also The battlefield will also emit high-heat flames, and its lethality is strong. It is a symbol of power that only the leaders of the demons are allowed to ride.

Xu Liewu doesn't have any special hobbies for horseback riding. If he can, he hopes to drive his car and let the stereo play the music he loves, all the way back to China. Unfortunately, his sports car has not yet been equipped with a flying system, and the speed of running on the ground is not as fast as flying in the air. Since the official war between humans and the demons, the Bai family no longer exports any machinery related to the ancient magic way. The wish of a flying sports car to drive is definitely an extravagant hope for a while.

It took some time to rush back to Central Capital from the base camp where the army is located, but when Xu Liewu descended from the sky on a unicorn flying beast and landed outside the city of Zhongdu, looking at the devastated scene, he felt real in his heart. Sorry, it used to be such a prosperous capital of a big country. Now when you look up, there are broken tiles and bricks everywhere. Except for the palace in the distance, it still stands unshakably. There is not even a good building in the range of sight, not tilted. Half-falling means that the wall has collapsed, which is really horrible.

The main reason for this tragic situation is not the invasion of the demons. After all, the purpose of the invasion of the demons is to occupy and permanently enjoy the materials of the human world. If all the places they pass through are turned into scorched earth, then even the demons themselves Can't stand it either. The Demon Realm is already a barren world that is too cruel. It is the nightmare of all the residents of the Demon Realm. They fought to escape this nightmare, and their mentality actually values ​​the long-term continuity of this land more than humans.

The real reason for the destruction of the central capital was the war. In fact, before Yinzhen formally appeared, the battle between the Yuanshi Cannon and the Tongtian Cannon had destroyed most of the houses in Zhongducheng, and the buildings on the ground were almost wiped out. Afterwards, the demons moved in to maintain one. At least the majesty of the royal capital, it took some time to repair and build houses, but firstly, the Mozu had no creativity and artistic sense. Most of the reconstructed houses were mainly practical and rigid, and they did not have the previous cultural style at all. A few nights ago, the meteorite fell from the sky, and restored the reconstruction results of some areas back to their original form.

Although there are many demon army, those monsters who are not sane at all can not take up the task of construction. The remaining demon soldiers who are intelligent and can think independently are extremely precious, and they cannot all be invested in buildings. In terms of work, it seems that it is difficult to have any real big construction before transporting a large number of slave labor to the central capital.

Xu Liewu slowly passed by the street. Before, every time he drove a sports car across the street, the people in the city always cheered and cheered on both sides, but now it is empty and quiet. The demon soldiers who were originally working Seeing himself passing by, although he immediately bent over to salute and stepped aside to show respect, but that was not what Xu Liewu wanted.

"It's really boring, buildings with no personality or style. Now it is more like a military base than a capital city. Is the demons attacking the human world just for this kind of life?"

The familiar buildings in the past have been destroyed, and even those faces in memory are no longer there. They may have become part of the magic soldiers, but most of them should become demonstrative monsters. Walking on the street full of dust and gravel and feeling the difference between the past and the present, Xu Liewu's mood is not very happy.

When he came to the court and expressed that he wanted to see His Majesty the Great Demon King, the palace officials told him that His Majesty Yinzhen knew that he would arrive in Central Capital today and asked him to go to the Royal Cemetery to see him.

In the royal cemetery of El Tienor, it was not the emperor who was buried, but the blood of the emperor, but they were all human beings with the surname Cao. They had nothing to do with Yinzhen and Xuliewu. After the demon identity appeared in the world, there was no need to visit this cemetery anymore. The reason why he still came to this place was only for a woman who was sleeping in the cemetery, Yinzhen's daughter, Xiao Qiao.

Even a cynical man like Xu Liewu, when he comes to the royal cemetery, will automatically put away his smiling face, tidy up his clothes, comb his hair a little, and then quietly step into the cemetery.

These actions are not intentional, but completely subconscious. For this long-lost sister, Xu Liewu can only use this form to show respect.

"Well, if Sister Xiao Qiao were still there, I wouldn't be as isolated and helpless as I am now. With her wisdom and courage, the situation would be much easier, and I don't need to be tired like this."

In front of Xiao Qiao’s grave, Xu Liewu often sighed like this. He also knew very well that he was not a beloved thing. He really wanted to make the people and demons live better. A good leader of the United States; many things, just because if you leave your hands alone, things will deteriorate to an unbearable point, so I stand up and do things unwillingly do what I have to do.

In terms of pure personal preference, Xu Liewu is not interested in becoming a great monarch. He just wants to live a life of luxury and enjoyment all day long, sitting leisurely on the audience stage, watching all the joys and sorrows on the stage with cold eyes. However, the evolution of the situation in recent years has often gone out of control, and the fire has spread to the audience stage, forcing Xu Liewu to stand up from the audience stage to put out the fire, and finally became one of the actors.

"The power of the famous king, the wish of the unknown king."

Xu Liewu gave himself such a comment, which is generally fair. He knows what kind of person he is, and he also thinks that someone like Uncle Temujin sits on the throne. The best choice for the Mozu, just...

"The fourteenth uncle has the talent and character of a famous emperor, but he walks too hastily on the ideal road, and lacks a person to help him pay attention to the pace of reality."

Tiemuzhen’s reforms were implemented too hastily and too quickly, and the situation deviated from the situation. This was the main reason for the failure. If Yinzhen can sincerely cooperate with him, and with Temuzhen’s hope to cooperate with Yinzhen’s wisdom, The two brothers were bound to be able to rewrite history, but it was a pity that Yinzhen chose a different path from Temujin, using his mastery of the real situation, in turn, to kill Temujin, and finally formed such a tragic result.

The current situation is somewhat similar, but if Xiao Qiao is still in the world, the situation will be different. Xiao Qiao can follow the Temujin road back then, and therefore has the cooperation of Reince Thielen, and Xu Lie Wu replaced the role of Yinzhen in the past, with cold and sharp eyes, hiding behind his sister, responsible for the struggle against the conservative forces of the demons, and preventing the cold arrow aimed at the back of the sister from having a chance to launch.

If Xiao Qiao is still alive, Xu Liewu believes that will be the best future. Even if he takes a step back, if his brother Kublai is not dead, he will be under pressure with his talent and charisma. It's much easier than it is now. I can't help but don't follow people's wishes. What is placed in front of me is this most difficult and unthankful burden.

"Unknowingly you became the public enemy of all mankind. This is really bad. You still have to be careful, otherwise if you somehow become the public enemy of all demons and become a Class A war criminal like Uncle Fourteen. , This is really overwhelming."

With a sighing sentence in his mouth, Xu Liewu walked slowly into the cemetery, turned a few bends, passed through the bushes, and came to one of the most secluded corners of the cemetery, where his father's figure was staring. .

"Xu Liewu, do you know what crime you committed?"

In the first sentence of the first meeting, Yinzhen made such a harsh rant, making Xu Liewu not sure what expression to use to walk over. If you act wholeheartedly and fearfully, His Majesty the Demon King might have to step into his feet and step on his head; but before clarifying the truth of the matter, rashly adopting a high posture is also tantamount to a foolish act of seeking a dead end.

"I actually want to throw the dung on the head of the Great Demon God King. Should I punish you for the crime of treason for such a rebellious act?"

If Xu Liewu had been cautious in his heart, he was ready to fight with his father's wisdom, after hearing this question, he was like an angry ball.

"You old man called me back from the front line at this time, just for this shit? Is sitting on the dragon chair so boring?"

Yinzhen is not old. Although he is more than two thousand years old, he is only a middle-aged man with a martial arts masterpiece. There is no white silk in his hair, and he is not old at all, especially when the corners of his mouth appear. He smiled with the wisdom of "Zhizi Moruofu", and looked at his sighing son leisurely. With such a flying look, no one would think that he was in old age.

"No, seriously, not for this...but..."

Yinzhen gave Xu Liewu a deep and meaningful look, and said: "It is very worthwhile to hear you call me by a title other than monarch and minister. Since you came to Eltinus , And I have never used such a title..."

Before this, Xu Liewu had never doubted his father’s wisdom, but when this sentence came to his ears, he could not believe what he heard, and then questioned whether his father drank too much. Pollution of the water source, or whether it has been infected with an unknown virus, so that the behavior is abnormal, and there is no usual wisdom.

However, when Xu Liewu looked at his father again, he found that although he was smiling on his face, his eyes were very serious. There was no half-partial joke. It was obvious that he had called himself back to this matter because he had fully thought about it. The decision made, and it may really be for this reason.

"Hey, old man, don't make any messy decisions. If my chin is so scared that it falls off, are you responsible for this? Wanli asked me to come back just to call you something other than your majesty. , If you let your enemies know, all human beings will laugh out loud."

"Even so...it doesn't matter. Even human beings who don't have a big tooth don't have a few days to live. What they are thinking or planning to do has nothing to do with me."

Yinzhen looked at the tombstone in front of him, and the elegant and pleasant bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone, then turned his gaze to Xu Liewu.

"I suddenly remembered in the past few days that I have never asked you about the related matters after your brother raised his army."

Xu Liewu's elder brother is not only one, but Kublai is the only one who used to fight against Yinzhen. In the past, the Guinhua turmoil shook the entire continent of the wind. Everyone couldn’t figure out why Kublai Khan used high-pressure and violent methods when everything was not ready, forcing the brothers of righteousness to fight back and lead the troops to resist. In the end, Peng Fenpo was defeated, and a generation of heroes fell to the sky.

The truth of the outbreak of the Hibiscus Rebellion is a mystery to the people of the Continent of Wind. Even Wang Wu has been puzzled by this for many years, but Yinzhen and Xu Liewu know the truth, especially Xu Liewu. I clearly remember that that afternoon many years ago, Kublai, who had just returned to Wu Lian from Eltinuo, appeared in front of him with a pale expression on his face.

Kublai Khan is a magnificent talented man. He has seen many winds and waves in his life. The more big things he encounters, the more he can be refreshed and brave to face challenges. In Xu Liewu’s memory, his elder brother had never been knocked down by any blows. Every time he encountered a setback, he always aroused his fighting spirit. After analyzing the reasons for the setback, he took the initiative to face it boldly and aggressively. However, suddenly After all, Bilie is also a body of flesh and blood. There have been so two times when Xu Liewu saw his brother's painful expression.

Once when Xu Lie was young, Kublai led a group of people back to the martial arts. Everyone’s expressions were heavy. Some orcs even cried and shed tears as they walked. This pair of orcs has always paid attention to heroic images. It is a rare thing. With a silent expression of grief, Kublai patted his younger brother on the shoulder, asking him to remember this moment, and telling him that not long ago, a relative left the world, and because his brother was not strong enough, he could only Watching her die.

It was during Xu Liewu’s teenage years. The fifth brother Wang and Ms. Chuqian Gongsun, who had been good friends, visited his elder brother in succession. Soon after the two met, Xu Liewu learned from the clan population that his brother had terminated the marriage contract. , Did something that undermined the dignity of the patriarch. That night, Xu Liewu found that his brother was drunk in the room. The room was full of wine jars, smelly, and Kublai, who had always been bad in the cup, was so drunk as mud, with a sluggish posture, more than a lying street. A drunk who is vomiting is worse.

These two events impressed Xu Liewu deeply. Although he had never mentioned it to outsiders, there was indeed such a brief moment when he saw the tears in his brother's eyes. In retrospect, these two incidents were a big blow to my elder brother. More or less, my elder's personality has also changed as a result, becoming more and more reserved and deep, putting the purpose of life on the so-called "dominant industry".

But never once, like the afternoon when Kublai Yuzhong returned to martial arts, he spoke to Xu Liewu, who was reading the book in his hand, with a livid face and a gentle tone that was hard to control. .

"I spoke to our father."

Xu Liewu knew his life experience since he was very young. The scandal that he and Kublai are the son of Cao Shou is not a secret in Wulian. Rumors and rumors have been mentioned repeatedly in the streets and alleys, but no one dared to face it. Directly, even Kublai never denied this to his younger brother. He just said lightly that it doesn’t matter what his origin is. The hero is based on the merits of his life, and what kind of parents he has does not affect his brothers. .

Nevertheless, Kublai hated his father. Born as a leader, he was destined to dominate the world. He couldn't bear to have such an incompetent father. His aversion to incompetence and mediocrity even far exceeded Cao Shou's sense of anger when he gave birth to offspring by despicable means. Therefore, Kublai Khan Although he would occasionally visit Zhongdu to do his best to the emperor as the lord of the thirty-six orc clan of martial arts, he never had any meetings with Cao Shou outside of official business.

In fact, if it were not to worship Xiao Qiao, Kublai Khan would not even be willing to get involved, and all official duties can also be sent to contact with his deputy, but because Xiao Qiao is buried in the royal tomb, Kublai’s I will take Xu Liewu to the grave for a few months. As an emperor, Cao Shou seems to like Xu Liewu very much. He always tells Xu Liewu to enter the palace to meet and talk to him, but Kublai avoids seeing him. Later, Xu Liewu learned that his brother was taking the opportunity to steal into the palace. Library, stealing the materials related to the magic arts collected by El Tienuo, and using this to enhance his own martial arts.

Because of this, when Kublai Khan came to him and talked about seeing his father, Xu Liewu felt that it was unusual. He raised his head to see his brother's eyes, and his heart was shocked.

"I saw our father, he is a demon... the great demon king Yinzhen, our brothers are all shed the blood of the demon."

What I said from my brother’s mouth was too unbelievable. Xu Liewu was so calm and wise, he couldn’t understand it for a while, as if he had heard a big joke. After a long pause, he said faintly "Oh". There was a sound, and when he turned his brain around, understood what had happened, and used reason to convince himself that he confirmed that his brother would not be joking, and that the seemingly surreal remark was the fact, it was already half an hour later.

Xu Liewu was stunned. The first time he wanted to ask his brother to ask questions, Kublai had already led the crowd to go out. Xu Liewu had an ominous premonition when he heard the news, and it didn’t take long before it came. Kublai Khan beheaded the current Patriarch of the Wangzi Family at the banquet, announcing that he was about to rebel against Eltinus.

"It's too fast, isn't it? How could it be at this time?"

When the news came back, all members of the Medici family were shocked. No one asked why Kublai did this, because with Kublai’s ambitions, it would be sooner or later to raise his troops against Eltinus, but everyone was asking why he raised his troops at this time? The integration of troops, food, ordnance, and allies is not yet ready for all major issues. How can you choose to suddenly attack at such a time? What's more, no one in the entire Medici family knew about such a major event, it was impossible to justify.

Only Xu Liewu knew why his brother raised his troops at this time, but he couldn't say anything, at least before meeting with his brother, he couldn't say anything.

Afterwards, when Kublai returned and had a private meeting with Xu Liewu, Kublai still took the initiative in the conversation and did not give his brother a chance to speak, so he asked first.

"What will you do with me?"

"No...I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"Because... this war is meaningless. Your actions like this are like an irrational child causing destruction. This kind of war has no chance of winning."

Xu Liewu's words were straightforward, because he still had something to say next. If these words were spoken, the situation might be changed later, but Kublai's laughter interrupted him.

Not only Yinzhen knows what happened afterwards, but more than 70% of the people in the whole wind continent know that Kublai Khan imprisoned Xu Liewu, who was unwilling to follow the rebellion, and saved the vitality for the rejuvenation of the Medici family. This can be said to be Kublai’s wisest move in the whole rebellion.

The general development of the Hibiscus Rebellion is similar to what the world knows. The only difference is that Yinzhen once sent his subordinates to rescue people and save this son when Kublai Khan was defeated. However, in a battle on Pengfenpo, Kublai and Wangwu both broke through. Under the strong power of heaven and power, the subordinates sent by Yinzhen were completely unable to get involved. In the end, Kublai Khan was killed in Luopeng. Fen **** up.

The secret envoy dispatched by Yinzhen also visited Hulagu and asked him to enter Eltinus, and promised that as long as Hulagu entered the central capital, he would be protected. This was in line with the fact that he was about to lead the crowd to leave. Wu Lian's Xu Liewu had the same idea, and thus decided the direction of the Jinhua Rebellion.

"These are the general things. Looking back, I only have one question..."

Xu Liewu stood up and stared at Yinzhen. He had a question buried in his heart for a long time. He didn't think he would ask this sentence out, but at this time today, he felt that he should solve this confusion.

"That time, when my brother came to see you, what did you say to him?"

In the meeting between Yinzhen and Kublai Khan, in addition to showing his identity, there should be some other things. Is there any requirement for Kublai Khan? Or, is there something threatening Kublai Khan? This is a question that Xu Liewu has been scrutinizing over the years.

Just after that meeting, Kublai returned to martial arts, launched the Jinhua Rebellion, and suffered a miserable defeat and sacrificed his life in a clumsy approach that was almost self-defeating. These were not what Kublai’s sane should have under normal circumstances. The act. Xu Liewu believed that as early as when Kublai Khan decided to raise his troops, his brother's spirit was in a state of despair and collapse. What kind of blows caused him to become such a situation, Xu Liewu really can't figure it out. .

Looking at his father, Xu Liewu hoped to get an answer from Yinzhen, but Yinzhen had no such plan.

"There should be a time for anything to proceed. Now is not the time to tell you. Telling you the facts is not good for you now..."

As inscrutable at the beginning, Yinzhen seems to have known Xu Liewu's question a long time ago. He blocked his son's question with a simple sentence, turned and left, and left the cemetery.

Such a reaction was also expected by Xu Liewu. Originally, he didn't think his father would tell him the truth, but thinking about his words and deeds just now made Xu Liewu even more confused.

My father...According to his own understanding, he is not a person who values ​​blood kinship, so for the sake of power and the overall situation of the demons, he can calmly and rationally kill his brothers and wipe out all who get in the way.

For children, it is only a tool for the succession of the Demon Throne. In order to have enough talents to inherit the power, he used the greed and ugliness of a pig to breed indiscriminately in his early years. However, Yinzhen and Kublai are very similar, that is, they completely hate the incompetent. Although Cao Shou gave birth to many princes and princes, he counts illegitimate children, even no fewer than hundreds, but he himself affirms There are only four "Princes and Daughters of the Great Demon God".

Qilei, Kublai, Xiao Qiao, Xu Liewu, according to Yinzhen's own position, he has only these four children in his life, and the rest are all descendants of Cao Shou, regardless of whether he lives or lives. He didn't care either.

A man like this, rather than being absolutely rational about emotions, is better to say... that is a selfish, purely self-interested love. Because of this, Xu Liewu never expected any fatherly love. However, what happened to the situation he just encountered?

Standing in the cemetery, Xu Liewu sighed very annoyed, took out a pre-hidden flower from his arms, and quietly placed the flower in front of his sister's grave.
