At the end of autumn and winter approaching, the cool temperatures begin to add a chill.
The number of tea-drinking guests in the teahouse has gradually increased. They can order a pot of hot tea and listen to the gossip and discuss current affairs, and they can sit there for a long time.
"The news that came from Wangcheng has reached Lingjiang. Have you figured out anything? I think something big must have happened in the place of exile again! Otherwise, Mr. An couldn't be so rude on the Grand Canal. "
"I don't quite agree with what you said. Mr. An lost his temper and was targeting the Ghost Emperor. As we all know, the relationship between them has not been as good as before in the past two years. If the Ghost Emperor did something to anger him, wouldn't it be normal for him to lose his temper and curse? "
"If it's only him who loses his temper, it's normal. What about Mr. Xiao Wu and Mr. Su? Is it normal for the two of them to suddenly go back after two years away from home?"
"Why is it abnormal? Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? I have been away from home for two years, and I have finally let go of the past things. I go back to celebrate the New Year with my elders and have a reunion dinner. Why are you talking so much about me?"
"The emperor left everything behind just to spend the New Year in the place of exile?"
"The Emperor is fond of the past and takes advantage of the Chinese New Year to visit his old friends over there, can't you? Have you forgotten the friendship between the Emperor and over there?"
The tea guests were talking a lot, trying to come up with perfectly normal and reasonable reasons for the protagonists in the incident to use to convince themselves.
Everyone's heart is filled with sadness.
At that time, there were eight wanted criminals on the wanted list of the Nine Countries, and their notoriety spread all over the world.
As a result, in the end, the backbone Su Jiuni and Du Lao perished in the open sea, while the owner of Wangque Tower and the leader of the Twelve Pier Gang hid in the place of exile and never stepped out of their fiefdom.
Su Wu went to the southern border and became a drunken wanderer.
Su Wenke passed the official examination and became a talkative official.
Su An traveled around, focusing on business and making money.
The wise man Bai Yu even transformed into the Ghost Emperor of Killing Palaces. He became famous for his killings, challenged the fire, and killed emperors, causing turmoil in the world.
The original villain group had its own fate and fell apart, and the friendship of the past was no longer the same.
"...Actually, it is because of them that Dai Viet was spared from the war. Otherwise, how would we be able to sit in this teahouse today and talk about current affairs and gossip? Alas."
"Yes. Of the twelve countries in the Central Plains, the only ones that can be considered stable now are Dai Viet and Xiling. I heard that there are a large number of refugees asking for help at various checkpoints in Dai Viet and Xiling, hoping to enter the country and get asylum."
"Lingjiang and Longyuan fought fiercely over the swamp between the two countries, Fenglan and Shangbei fought five times in two years and displaced countless people, Beixiang and Dongpu each lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Darong was not pleased with either side. They were so pressured that they ceded six cities and suddenly became a small country... Nansang was also attacked by a group of countries, fighting everywhere, turning into a pot of chaos. If this continues, there will soon be no safe place in the Central Plains, and there will be peace for Dayue and Xiling. how long?"
"Nan Sang's magic weapons haven't gone into battle yet. The reason is unknown. Once they start to use the magic weapons, the consequences will only be more tragic."
At this time, I don’t know who said, "If Princess Mingyue was still here, this kind of chaos would not have happened in the Central Plains. She is the only one who can lead people to escape from the Nansang Divine Armament."
The atmosphere went from lively to dull.
However, Princess Mingyue is no longer here.
The girl who had the most notoriety at that time single-handedly saved the people of the entire penal colony before she died.
What is good and what is evil?
The nations said she was evil and racked their brains to get rid of her.
But the people thought about it from beginning to end, and they couldn't think of any heinous evil thing she had done.
Not a single thing.
"Perhaps this is the retribution of the countries."
…
Beixiang.
night.
King Mobei walked out of the palace and stood in front of the palace gate for a long time.
The surrounding palace lanterns cast dim yellow light, and the wind blew in front, adding to the chill.
A cloak was draped over his shoulders from behind, and Feiyun appeared, "My lord, it's getting cold, be careful of catching a cold."
King Mobei came back to his senses, gathered up his cloak, and smiled lightly, "As I get older, it's time to be afraid of the cold."
Feiyun lowered his head, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, but his heart is cold."
"Feiyun, do you also think that this king loves power and refuses to let go of it?"
"Your Majesty! Everything your Majesty did was for Beixiang. Your Majesty didn't know how hard your Majesty was working, so he secretly united with Dongpu to plot against you!"
King Mobei closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were calm and clear, "It is foolish to only look at the present and not look at the long term. In this case, let's replace him."
He walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the road. "The three brothers of the Su family returned to the place of exile one after another. Even Nangong Qingyu rushed over to find out the cause of the matter. The relationship between them has become increasingly distant in the past two years. Can There was only one person who could twist them together."
"Your Majesty, do you doubt that Su Jiuni is alive?"
"I don't know, that's why I asked you to check."
King Mobei boarded the carriage and hid in the darkness of the carriage. A crack appeared on his calm face, and his expression was complicated.
Su Jiuni and Du Buguo were seriously injured when they fell into the sea. It was unlikely that they would survive in that situation.
But if it can affect Nangong Qingyu and the three brothers of the Su family, even if Su Jiuni is not still alive, the matter must be related to him.
...He would rather Su Jiuni was still alive.
Nowadays, the situation among the countries in the Central Plains has become increasingly uncontrollable, and the Nansang Divine Soldier is the biggest worry that can explode at any time.
Only Su Jiuni can solve this mess.
With her gone, there is no solution.
…
Dongpu Palace.
Emperor Dong Pu was sitting next to the desk with his coat wrapped around his coat. The light from the lantern on the table shone on his face. The face of the sixty-year-old man looked much older than two years ago, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tired.
The old eunuch, his confidant who had served him for decades, was squeezing his shoulders and patting his back. Seeing him like this, he felt extremely distressed and said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, why don't you rest? It's important to take care of your dragon body."
"Where can I sleep? There are frequent wars at the border. Wen Renjing used the correspondence between me and the Emperor of Beixiang as a raft to hold on to, intending to take advantage of the chaos to take a bite of fat from my east Pu. Can’t retreat.”
"Two years ago, all countries were working together to deal with Nan Sang, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into fighting each other. They knew clearly that Sha Dian was behind it but couldn't stop. They all had reasons why they couldn't give in! The Ghost Emperor is really hateful! He killed Su Jiuni. It’s obviously Nan Sang, but he doesn’t deal with Nan Sang, but instead vents his anger on the other countries!”
"He did it on purpose. He killed the two emperors of Nansang, but kept Nansang from making any further moves." Emperor Dongpu smiled bitterly, his eyes becoming more tired, "Nansang's magic weapon was his last chess piece. When he released it, It’s time for all the countries to truly lose their country and family. His goal is not just to deal with Nan Sang, he wants to destroy the entire world."
"Your Majesty!..." The old eunuch's voice trembled and his pupils vibrated.
"There is something strange happening in the Su family in Dayue. I have sent someone to find out the cause immediately." Emperor Dong Pu sighed and motioned to the old eunuch to help him sleep.
No further words were spoken.
The sudden change in the Su family is a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps it can allow other countries to seize an opportunity to get out of their predicament.
If only.
