In addition, the Demon Cloud Mountain Range is an excellent place for training, and Yanxue Country's true strength is probably ranked among the top five in the martial arts world.
As an old country inherited from ancient times, Yanxue Country has always maintained absolute neutrality, never participating in the competition for interests between other countries, or relying on the strong to bully the weak. It is also true that many countries do not dare to provoke Yanxue Kingdom easily because they cannot grasp the true strength of Yanxue Kingdom. Among ordinary people, it stands like an angel of peace in the northern region.
This state of balance lasted for tens of thousands of years, until the emergence of a new country called the Jiyun Empire completely broke the balance.
The Jiyun Empire was established by annexing three above-average countries. Its founder was Ji Yun, the lord of Jiyun Valley. Ji Yun has always been a mystery in the martial arts world, because even the core elders in Ji Yun Valley have never seen him since the establishment of Ji Yun Valley. However, there has always been a saying in the martial arts world that Ji Yun is also one of the ancient martial gods. But for some unknown reason, Ji Yun did not participate in the ancient war between humans and demons, so the existence of this figure who was at the pinnacle of the martial arts world was not remembered in people's minds.
However, what people didn't expect was that this veteran figure who had been silent for tens of thousands of years now really appeared in people's sight. Not only that, but it also shocked and terrified people. Because they still couldn't believe that a small Ji Yun Valley actually controlled three big countries in a few days, and even surrendered to them, and jointly supported Ji Yun, the owner of the valley, as the new emperor of the empire.
Not long after the Ji Yun Empire was established, something even more surprising happened. A country with an unstable foundation actually gathered many countries and mobilized a total of two million alliance troops to cross the space gate and invade the Yanxue Kingdom, which was regarded as the messenger of peace in people's hearts. Although the Jiyun Empire far exceeds the Yanxue Kingdom in terms of land area and population, many people still think that the Jiyun Empire will collapse. Because they do not believe that a newly emerging country will defeat a Yanxue Kingdom that has a history of tens of thousands of years and whose strength is unknown.
However, the truth of things often surprises people. The Yanxue Kingdom's army suffered a huge defeat on the first day of the war with the Jiyun Empire's army. A total of thirty-six cities on the border were captured, but the Jiyun Empire's army seemed dissatisfied with this and marched straight into the capital to threaten them. But the strange thing is that the alliance army did not announce the next attack order after threatening the capital. They just stationed themselves outside the Netherworld Forest a hundred miles away from the Yanxue Kingdom's capital, giving the impression that they would live there for a long time.
The war became tense for a while. The capital of the Yanxue Kingdom has now entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and anyone with strength above that of a martial artist is unconditionally conscripted into the army. As for the strength of the warrior, there is no requirement, because in this kind of strong showdown, the strength of the warrior is really not enough to fill the gap between the opponent's teeth. As a result, the number of troops in the capital has reached 1.5 million.
Although the Alliance Army stationed in the Netherworld Forest has not taken the next step, the rear continues to send troops to the Netherworld Forest. Two months later, excluding the number of people lost in the small-scale battle between the two armies, the number of alliance troops has now reached 1.9 million. The outside of the originally endless Nether Forest was now filled with smoke and a dense darkness from a distance.
The longer time drags on, it will obviously be detrimental to Yanxue Country. Because the cities within the Yanxue Kingdom are now caught in a melee, the capital is now isolated and helpless. Once the Alliance Army successfully shrinks its forces, Yanxue Kingdom will undoubtedly perish.
At this time, the Yanxue Kingdom's capital was completely plunged into a kind of silence like before a storm.
The streets in the city are no longer as bustling as they used to be. The streets are lifeless, with only groups of samurai armed with sharp weapons patrolling back and forth. These warriors were obviously recruited just now, and were sent out to perform simple tasks after receiving a little training. Because of his lack of combat experience, he could only be sent to the rear to serve as logistics and patrol troops. The real backbone of the city has been guarding the fortresses at the entrance of the city for many months.
After a few months, the arrows pulled from the string had nowhere to shoot, and the strength in the hands was nowhere to be used. This kind of suffocating war made many people feel irritated and depressed, so now the fighting arrogance of the entire army is really worse than before. Lowered too much.
However, the atmosphere in the capital palace was quite harmonious. As expected of a leadership team, they will not be as helpless and feverish as ordinary people in the face of crisis. If they don't have a sense of calmness and composure in times of trouble, how can they climb to high positions by stepping on other people's shoulders?
In the center of the palace is a huge oval round platform. The huge round platform is divided into several areas, and each area has a simple and black-lit wooden chair. And sitting on each chair is a core figure of this country.
A middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe sat upright on a dragon chair directly in front of the round platform in the royal palace. Although he seemed to be calmly looking at the people worshiping beside the round platform, from the ravines on his face, he knew that at this moment He was also anxious.
After the etiquette, the palace became surprisingly quiet, eliminating the intense atmosphere of mutual intrigues in the past. After a long moment of silence, a vigorous and powerful voice slowly sounded from the front of the round platform.
"Dawu Si, has the letter sent to my second brother to return to the capital been delivered?" The first person to break the silence was the monarch on the dragon throne, Dugu Dong, Dugu Yuan's descendant.
Upon hearing this, Xiao He stood up quickly, bowed first, and then looked in the direction of Dugudong and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the monarch, it is believed that the envoy reported that the rescue letter has been successfully delivered to the two monarchs. I must have At this moment, the two monarchs are already on their way back to the capital to aid."
After hearing Xiao He's words, Dugudong's tense face finally relaxed a little.
So he took a satisfied look at Xiao He, who had been doing things efficiently since he took office. He said with a slight smile: "You are worthy of being the Great Wu Si promoted by my Lord. This time the crisis in the capital has been resolved, I will definitely reward the Wu Si Tai." After saying that, he slightly drew a line with his sleeve robe.
Xiao He, who had been in a high position for many years, naturally understood what he meant, and bowed again and said: "Thanks to your love, your Majesty, we can enjoy the glory and wealth for many years. Now that the country is in danger, as the pillars of the country, we should die. That's it." Then he sat back down in a hurry.
Dugudong smiled again when he heard this, and then his sharp eyes quickly swept across the hall, and his last peripheral vision stopped at the center of the left side of the round platform. At this moment, the commander of the Forbidden Military Army, Wang He Fei, looked solemn, and then used A powerful commanding tone said loudly:
"Wang Dutong, recently you have to send more spies to pay attention to the movements around the capital. Once you find out about the two monarchs, come and report to me immediately. If there is any mistake, you will be punished without mercy." Dugudong added after that. , "The war is imminent. If there are those who are timid and spread rumors in the city, they do not need to be sentenced according to law, and they will just show their heads to the public. Extraordinary measures must be used in emergency times. And the safety of the capital is entrusted to the king. During this period, weapons are prohibited. If the military has any needs, just go directly to the Financial Secretary for approval, and there is no need to report to me again."
Hearing that Dugudong had given Wang Hefei such great convenience, some gloomy-looking old guys who were sitting on the edge of the round platform suddenly had strange expressions on their faces. There are some who are envious, jealous, and hateful, and there are also those who are very unwilling. If it were not an emergency, even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that such a good thing would happen to a vulgar warrior. You know, just quote any number, and they can make a fortune! But even if there are ten million dissatisfactions in their hearts, no one dares to say anything. They had no choice but to suppress this evil fire in their hearts. Venting at this time was undoubtedly a desperate move.
Wang Hefei stood up when he heard the sound, then bowed respectfully and said: "Accept the emperor's decree." After that, he said nothing more and sat back down. As the leader of Wudu, Wang Hefei is an upright and rough man. He can lead troops and fight well, but it is really difficult for him to say some flattering and polite words. In addition, the capital of the country is now in crisis, and the burden on him is too heavy, and he has no time to think about anything else.
Dugudong looked at Wang Hefei who answered simply, and secretly appreciated it. Compared with those who are hypocritical and lying, he prefers such simple and unscheming people. After these two important things were ordered, Dugudong looked at the other people in the palace and asked with a sarcastic expression: "Do you have any other important things to report? If not, this is the end of today's political meeting. until."
Just when Dugudong on the throne was about to announce the end of the political meeting, Zhou Xing, the director of the Department of Legal Affairs, who had remained silent from the beginning to the end of the political meeting, stood up at this moment, bowed with a sinister expression. Looking at Dugudong with an expression on his face, he said: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Alliance Army is shrinking faster and faster. It is expected that a general offensive will be launched in the next few days. Even if the two monarchs rush back in time, it will be of no avail. At this moment, it is necessary to Think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I wonder if that matter"
Before Zhou Xing could finish speaking, Dugudong's originally gentle face immediately turned solemn. With a wave of his hand, he stopped him from continuing. Of course Dugudong knew what that matter was, but he didn't think he was a very cruel person, so he didn't mention it for a long time. Of course, it was to take into account the face of him and the royal family. If he really did that, would Dugudong still want to hang out in this Yanxue Kingdom in the future?
Everyone looked at the former, and the look of anticipation on their faces when they heard that thing was immediately discredited by the latter's big hand, so they had no choice but to pretend not to hear anything. The winner even I dare not kick him even if I am angry.
Speaking of that incident, we have to start from one night half a month ago. When Dugudong was about to go to bed, Zhou Xing, the director of the Department of Legal Affairs, rushed to the palace in a hurry and reported to the guards that he had important matters and asked to see the monarch.
When the guards saw that it was the Master of Laws and Licensing, they did not dare to neglect and reported it immediately. Dugudong was curious about why Zhou Xing came to see him in the middle of the night, so he asked the maid to put a brocade robe on him and went to the side hall.
The first time he saw Zhou Xing in the side hall, Dugudong walked up eagerly and asked Zhou Xing why he came to see him in the middle of the night.
Hearing the accent of Dugudong, Zhou Xing shook off his usual arrogance, bent down and bowed, took out a letter from his brocade sleeve and handed it to Dugudong. Dugudong looked calm when he saw the envelope. After reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but look stunned, and at the same time, he felt an unknown fire. Because the person who wrote to him was none other than Ji Yun, the monarch of the Ji Yun Empire.
The general content of the letter is that if Yanxue Kingdom wants to quell this war, it must hand over someone. And this person is Dugu Yun, the famous second monarch of the Yanxue Kingdom. If not, Yanxue Kingdom will be wiped out with blood.
Surrendering one person can end a war and save countless families. This sounds like a great thing, but for a country that has been invaded, it is undoubtedly a great shame. What's more, the person to be handed over is the dignified second-in-command of Yanxue Kingdom, and he also exists as a new god of war in Yanxue Kingdom.
It's no wonder that Dugudong has been reluctant to think about this matter, which only made him more confused. Why did the Jiyun Empire go to war just for one person? Could it be said that the importance of the second brother Dugu Yun is far greater than starting a war? Or is there something in the second brother that is very important to Ji Yun?
Dugudong still can't figure out this series of questions. Perhaps the answers to all these questions can only be answered after Dugu Yun comes back.
Dugudong warned Zhou Xing in a threatening tone at that time, saying that no third person should know about this matter without his permission.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xinghui would take the opportunity to mention this matter on such an occasion, and Dugudong suddenly became angry. Even though he was a senior figure in his hometown, he didn't take his words seriously. This was a naked challenge to the king's imperial power.
"Huh, old guy, I'll let you be arrogant for a few days, and I'll punish you severely after this crisis is over." Dugudong snorted coldly in his heart, and then decisively announced the end of today's political meeting. He was also afraid that if the delay continued, Zhou Xing would uncontrollably reveal the matter. Thinking of Zhou Xing's abnormal behavior since this war, Dugudong extremely suspected that this person had a crush on Ji Qing.
If everyone at this meeting knew about this, most of them would definitely be on Zhou Xing's side. Even though Dugu Yun plays an extremely important role to the Yanxue Kingdom, for their own selfish interests, they will not hesitate to hand over Dugu Yun. Anyway, the person handed over is a member of the royal family, and they are out of reach. Why not use simple methods to solve troublesome things? This is the peaceful thought of most of the people in power in Yanxue Country today.
After Dugudong announced the end of the meeting, he left the palace and headed towards the palace. Everyone also stood up from their chairs one after another, and then exited the palace in an orderly manner. After descending the several hundred steps of marble stairs, they each got on the cart pulled by the lowest-level magic beast that looked like a horse and returned to the mansion. . Just go there first. "Speaking, Tianlong asked Zhou Xing to sit on his back and flew out of the cloud sea.
