South Korea, Xinzheng City, in the Han Palace
The once gorgeous Han Palace experienced the mutinies of Ji Wuye and Wei Zhuang one after another, and once again turned from gorgeous to dilapidated. The palace originally rebuilt by Han Wang An also became dilapidated again, full of broken walls.
The most secluded and remote corner of the Han Palace is perhaps the most deserted place in all of Korea. , a long and narrow walkway extends from the complex array of palaces, spanning the entire lake. Another group of sparse palaces can be seen in the distance on the other side, but there is no light at all, and it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
The only visible firelight was the fires lit on the walkway in the lake. The weak light could only illuminate the way forward. Under the shadow of the night and the glistening lake light, this narrow and long walkway was shrouded in a faint blue halo, as if it was leading to the other side of the netherworld.
The only two leaders left among the Four Heavenly Kings of Quicksand, the two people who can really decide the affairs of South Korea in name now appeared in this quiet corridor, heading towards the abandoned palace complex, Zhang Liang lost his youthful indifference. The blue Confucian shirt was replaced by a slightly noble purple gown, as if looking for the shadow of an old friend in the past, walking behind with a lantern in hand.
Wei Zhuang, on the other hand, was still wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with gold and walked silently in front without saying a word.
The roof tiles above the walkway where the two of them walked, as well as the supporting beams and columns, all looked old due to disrepair, and the stone walkway was covered with piles of yellow leaves.
"Is this dilapidated place where Brother Wei Zhuang lived when he was young?"
"Liang didn't expect that there would be such a dilapidated and desolate place in this magnificent palace."
Zhang Liang's words broke the peace of this quiet place, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
Wei Zhuang did not answer Zhang Liang's words, but the obvious pause in his steps betrayed his state of mind at the moment.
Revisiting a hometown should be a joy. It's a pity that what was left for him here were only unbearable and humiliating memories, which were many years of house arrest...
"This is a cold palace. It used to be noisy and popular, but now it is indeed very cold, cold enough to seal the memory of its lost master."
Wei Zhuang stopped, walked to the railing, stared at the lake below, took a deep breath, and told the truth that Zhang Liang had already guessed in as calm a tone as possible.
"The old royal palace of Zheng State, a splendid palace rebuilt by the former overlord Zheng Zhuanggong."
There was no surprise on Zhang Liang's face. In fact, after learning that Wei Zhuang's true identity was the last descendant of the Zheng Kingdom, Zhang Liang began to understand the seemingly insignificant and completely unreasonable details of the quicksand plan. Where does the twisting feeling come from.
From the beginning, Wei Zhuang's purpose was different from theirs.
Han Fei, who seems to have the most troubled thoughts, has the purest purpose, to revive South Korea.
Zhang Liang's purpose is to prove his growth to his grandfather and at the same time preserve the glory of the fifth generation of the Zhang family. To achieve these goals, helping Han Fei revive Korea is a good option.
They still don't know the purpose of Zi Nu, but they think that the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty has no interest in reviving Korea, but at least she doesn't have any bad intentions.
But Wei Zhuang, this seemingly straightforward man, actually has the deepest thoughts.
Using Liusha's hand to become Ye Mu's enemy, weakening Ye Mu's strength also affected Han Wangan's strength.
King Anna of Han visited the Qin Dynasty with his imperial seal. The former crown prince Han Yun died violently. The fourth son Han Yu disappeared. The ninth son Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty. General Ji Wuye was defeated and died. The snow-clad Hou Bai Yifei surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. The emerald tiger on the stone was very early. She used to be Zhang Ji's person, the Blue Sea Tide Banshee became Zhang Ji's wife, and the cloaked guest under the moon was his father Zhang Ping who faked his death and was hunted down in a snare but his whereabouts are unknown.
Throughout South Korea, all those who hold power and may pose a threat to Wei Zhuang are no longer in South Korea. His grandfather Kai Zhang and him are the only obstacles to Wei Zhuang.
However, my grandfather chose to surrender to the new king Han Cheng in front of the soldiers who surrounded the Zhang family. His family was also tied to Wei Zhuang's chariot because he followed the mutiny without knowing Wei Zhuang's identity.
Although there were many coincidences, Wei Zhuang also made many plans more or less secretly to achieve such a perfect situation and control the entire Xinzheng City.
But one thing Wei Zhuang failed to calculate was that Qin had no tolerance for Wei Zhuang's public declaration that South Korea would no longer submit to Qin, and sent troops angrily.
It is definitely not a good time for Qin to send troops at this moment, at least considering Qin's finances. However, Qin still chose to send troops, and swept the Korean army all the way. It has reached the gates of Xinzheng City. It is now resting and Xinzheng will welcome us in a few days. The Qin army attacked like a violent storm.
"And beneath this dilapidated cold palace, there may be a secret that can change the situation."
"General, my subordinates have found what the general is looking for."
An old man with white beard and hair appeared behind the two of them at some unknown time, with his hair disheveled and a tattoo on his forehead. His black and white clothes were dripping with water.
The old man is Tang Qi, the master of Qijue Hall.
But at this moment, Tang Qi no longer had the hint of joking mixed with rigor when he got along with Wei Zhuang in the past, and he no longer discussed the price of doing anything with Wei Zhuang.
Because, Wei Zhuang has the strength to destroy them instantly.
The great general of South Korea and one of the former bosses behind Zilanxuan are not the same thing.
Before taking all the power in South Korea, Wei Zhuang had already supported a Nanyang gang in Nanyang called Jiuyihui, making such a gang with limited strength the overlord who unified all gangs in Nanyang, and introduced this overlord into the Xinzheng competes with Qijuetang.
Although Wei Zhuang, who became the general, never expressed his dissatisfaction with Qi Juetang and Tang Qi, both Qi Juetang and Jiuyihui were more cautious in getting along with Wei Zhuang.
Because Wei Zhuang's actions are all telling them that he has the ability to support another gang that is weaker but more obedient to replace them at any time.
Tang Qi gasped and handed a bamboo slip to Wei Zhuang with both hands.
Wei Zhuang took the bamboo slip, glanced at it hastily, and threw it towards Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang stretched out his hand to catch the bamboo slip, and looked at the word "Canglong" clearly stained with lake water on the cover of the bamboo slip, and his eyes couldn't help but squint.
Canglong Qisu, the astrology of the Yin Yang family, the four spirits of the sky, with the four directions, the east is Qinglong, that is, the Eastern Qisu.
Seven stars, seven countries, seven secrets, the core of Canglong Qisu, have been controlled by the only heirs of each country in all dynasties. Legend has it that whoever masters the secrets of Canglong Qisu will have the power to control the world.
It is said that the former Zheng Zhuanggong was able to make the Zheng Kingdom rise rapidly in a short period of time because of the power of Canglong Qisu.
And this bamboo slip named "Cang Long" records the objects needed to awaken this power!
