The cherry trees are blinding and the snow is capped. Hokuriku Ghost Side, Yachi Shrine.
In a solemn and quiet palace, Wei Zhongtang, known as "the wisest man in the ghost world", stood in front of a huge map and gave a passionate speech.
He pointed feverishly at a spot on the map and said loudly: "This land is the best gift God has given to our Guifang Empire!" One end of his finger was the Eastern Wasteland.
"There is an old saying in the wilderness that the first to get the moon is those near the water and the towers! This is also the advantage of our Guifang Empire!" Wei Zhongtang said ambitiously.
After finishing speaking, Wei Zhongtang picked up the tea cup on his seat, took a sip, and continued to shout: "We need to send more warriors and ghosts to the Eastern Wasteland to spy on intelligence and attack them, making them even weaker. By then, You can directly send troops to start a war. The untouchables in the wilderness do not deserve to enjoy such a beautiful and rich land!"
"Yes, the untouchables in the wilderness do not deserve to have such rich land, kill them all." Someone in the audience shouted loudly.
"Report to the general, hundreds of ghosts under my Gao Yuanye banner have sneaked into the Great Wilderness Country six months ago to carry out various sabotage." Someone claimed the credit.
"General, you are wise, the Eastern Wasteland should be the hunting ground of our Guifang Empire." Many ministers of the Guifang Kingdom in the audience said in unison.
Wei Zhongtang was filled with pride when he saw everyone in the audience supporting him in unison. Ever since he replaced Ning Chu Wudi as the master of the Baqi Shrine twelve years ago, he secretly vowed to do something great and live up to the expectations of everyone on the ghost side.
For the leader of a country, there is no greater achievement in the world than the expansion of territory, not to mention that the Guifang Empire is surrounded by extremely plump fresh meat. Therefore, after taking power, Wei Zhongtang immediately used his power to kick out all those who were not enterprising from the Baqi Shrine.
The Onikata Empire does not need to be content with the status quo, only those who are greedy for pleasure. For this reason, Wei Zhongtang even did not hesitate to offend those close friends in the past.
"The Great Wilderness is a sleeping lion, and our Hokuriku Kikata is just a relatively strong mouse. No matter how strong the mouse is, it cannot defeat the lion. One day in the future, when this great warrior wakes up, Kikata will be afraid They will suffer disaster! I suggest that we make peace with Dahuang!" Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded from the audience.
Wei Zhongtang's face darkened instantly. Unexpectedly, under his iron-blooded wrist, some little mice were still missed.
"Asshole! Coward!" All kinds of insults suddenly sounded, which finally made Wei Zhongtang look a little better.
At this time, all the ministers of the Guifang Kingdom were like gamblers with a red eye, looking at the person who had ruined their mood with his words, and they all wanted to drive this person out of the hall.
In front of this aggressive nation, the voices of peace and justice are so weak and powerless that no one even wants to listen.
At this time, Wei Zhongtang was high-spirited and ambitious, and his eyes were filled with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
It’s just that he never thought that one day ten years later, when Si Wulu led his army into Yening City, the capital of the Ghost Fang Empire, the wisest man in charge of the Ghost Fang army would say those words handed down from generation to generation. Classic quote: "The greatest misfortune of ghosts is that they are too far from heaven and too close to the wilderness!"
After saying this, General Wei, who was known as the "Big Stomach King" by later generations, hanged himself.
This ambitious Hokuriku monarch who was bent on dominating the world ended up with his body and his country destroyed, and the two famous sayings that once described the distance between the Hokuriku Ghost Side and the Great Wilderness with two completely different attitudes became his His only achievement left in history allowed him to successfully hang himself as the "Big Stomach King".
This is how history punishes the defeated.
Later history books recorded this: In the 21st year of the New Era, the military god Si Wu Lu from the Great Wilderness led his army to attack Yening City, the imperial capital of Ghost Fang. Wei Zhongtang, then the general of Ghost Fang, committed suicide in the main hall of Baqi Shrine. At this point, the Guifang Kingdom, which had always been dominant in the northern wilderness, died.
The breeze blows and the sun shines brightly.
At this time, Si Wulu was alone and focused on washing the dishes in the backyard of the hotel. As an all-round talent in the restaurant, Si Wulu not only had to help bring dishes to the table every day, but also washed dishes and vegetables in his free time, and occasionally helped the boss with work. Checking accounts, and even sometimes when the hotel is short of manpower, Si Wulu has to be responsible for the work of a part-time chef.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps sounded in my ears. Si Wulu looked up and saw a woman in her forties approaching.
This woman was a long-time waiter in the restaurant's kitchen, and she was known for her love of gossip and being well-informed.
"Si Wu Lu, have you heard? The eldest lady may go to the imperial capital in a few days." The woman suddenly said mysteriously.
"Ah? Aunt Hua, what's going on?" Si Wulu was shocked.
"I just heard from my wife that after so many years of hard work, I finally contacted the Imperial Capital family. Today, the young lady's family sent people from the Imperial City to the town, saying that they wanted to marry the outstanding descendants of the family. I heard that they are still studying in the Imperial City. A powerful person from the academy." Aunt Hua said gossiping.
"Do you know the Imperial Military Academy, Si Wulu? It is one of the top ten famous schools in our wilderness. There are all the true pride of heaven and the best among men. They will all become big shots in the future. I heard my wife say The people in that kind of academy are no better than the ability users in our small town who show off their skills with their fists and legs. The ability users there can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. It only takes one punch to break a mountain." Aunt Hua's expression became extremely excited. It was as if she was about to get married.
"There is also the Imperial City, Si Wulu, do you know? The Imperial City is the largest city in our Great Wilderness Country. I heard people say that one acre of land there is enough to buy our entire town..." Aunt Hua became more and more excited as she talked, Later, his hands even started to gesture.
Hearing this, for some reason, Si Wulu suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
I once naively thought that as long as I could see her every day, I would be satisfied. Listening to her talk was the greatest happiness, but for some reason I was worrying about gains and losses at this moment.
"No. The eldest lady doesn't know him, how could she marry him?" Si Wulu tried his best to retort.
"Young man, you have no experience! Aunt Hua is also a woman. How can a woman not want to find a good home for herself? The other party is a noble of the imperial capital and a big shot like an ability person." Aunt Hua sneered.
Siwu Lu was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Actually, it's good to recognize the truth early! You are still young and your days are still long." Aunt Hua said quietly.
"I didn't." When someone revealed what was on his mind, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Si Wulu immediately defended himself.
Aunt Hua glanced at him with disdain, and then said: "Look at your idiotic look, anyone can see it if you are a human being."
Si Wulu fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, the sunlight above the head seemed to pierce through the leaves on the big tree in the backyard like a sword.
At this moment, bursts of lively sounds came from the other end of the hotel, towards the Bai family.
"This sound probably means someone from the Imperial Capital family has arrived, right?" Aunt Hua listened carefully and said.
"Yes. Listening to this voice, it should be that distinguished guests have arrived, most likely those from the Imperial Capital's family." Si Wulu replied absently.
"Si Wu Lu, don't you go and see those people from the imperial capital?" Aunt Hua continued to chatter while cleaning the bowl quickly.
Si Wulu was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "The people in the imperial capital also have two eyes and one mouth. Besides, they are Boss Bai's distinguished guests, so what does it have to do with me? There is nothing interesting to see."
It's just that Aunt Hua didn't seem to want to let him go, and kept talking non-stop.
In the end, Si Wulu had no choice but to run out.
At this time, a motorcade slowly drove up outside the main entrance of Bai's house. It was a fleet of dozens of people, equipped with many uniformly dressed guards with swords. The carriages were extremely luxurious, but the most eye-catching thing was that all the carriages were equipped with uniform white horses.
Although he only glanced at them from afar, those white horses were all extremely handsome, and Si Wulu knew that these horses were all rare-to-find horses. As expected of someone from the imperial capital, he is indeed rich and powerful.
Immediately afterwards, four or five men in gorgeous clothes came out of the carriage. They were of different ages. One of them attracted all of Si Wulu's attention. He was handsome, luxuriously dressed, holding a folding fan, and looked calm and collected. He was so handsome. The most important thing is that he is the only young man among these people.
The moment he saw him, Si Wulu couldn't help but feel depressed. The folding fan inlaid with precious gems in the young man's hand was something Si Wulu couldn't afford even after working in a small town for a lifetime.
