…
On the top of the high tower of the inn, the young man in black clothes spread out his jet-black wings and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, practicing the Flower of the Night and Moon.
The gloomy spiritual energy swirled around him, and the Taiyin essence rose and fell with his breath.
Above the high-rise building, you can't hear the sound of the street and it's quiet.
Suddenly, the young man spoke and broke the calm. "What, is something wrong?"
Behind her, the tiptoeing little princess shook her long splendid light-blond hair and curled her lips melancholy: "I've already held back my breath, how did you feel it?"
"Under the moonlit night, my senses are several times sharper than usual." The young man said calmly.
"Huh... okay." Luo Xiwei sat down next to him, leaned on the ridge of the roof, and looked at the night sky, where the moon and stars were sparse.
Ye Changgeng glanced at her. "This isn't your favorite training time, is it? Why are you here?"
According to Her Royal Highness the Princess, when the east sun sets and the purple energy comes from the east, it is the perfect time to practice the art of qi and wind.
"You remember it very clearly. Can't I come up here and have a chat?" Luo Xi curled his lips slightly and didn't look at him.
Ye Changgeng was a little surprised. This guy didn't bother his brother, but came to the roof to hang out? "Axiu is asleep?"
Luo Xi nodded slightly. "Um."
"It's okay, the duel between the seven different skills of the monks is conducted by drawing lots. I don't know which one will be competed first tomorrow. It's better to rest early."
Luo Xi nodded slightly and suddenly turned to look at him, her face shining brightly under the bright moonlight. "Are you...a little unhappy tonight?"
"No." Ye Changgeng answered quickly without looking at him, as if he didn't want to dwell on this topic.
"I'm very sensitive to breath, you can't fool me." Luo Xi hummed slightly. "If you are unhappy, just tell me, and I will help you solve your problems."
Ye Changgeng knew that he could not hide it from Her Royal Highness the little princess who had been practicing the art of Qi and Wind since she was a child, so he had no choice but to say. "I just have some regrets, not worth mentioning."
"Pity?"
"When Na Siyou played it, I didn't realize that it was such a thrilling piece of music. If my family were still here, maybe I could receive a decent education."
Ye Changgeng said calmly, although it was a pity, he had already spent four years calmly accepting the fact that he was the only one in the huge Ye family to survive.
Luo Xi raised her eyes slightly to look at him. The young man's handsome face was obscured by his hair and she couldn't see clearly.
However, she felt the deep sadness and regret hidden beneath the calm.
Luo Xiwei was speechless for a moment. She was not very good at comforting people, so she just stretched out her white arms towards Ye Changgeng.
He subconsciously wanted to dodge, and his calm eyes turned a little panicked, but Her Royal Highness the Princess stared at him seriously.
Since coming to Heluo, she has been able to help this small group with very little help. Most of them are her brother strategizing and Ye Changgeng making suggestions.
So, if he felt better, she would be of some help, she thought.
In the end, he didn't dodge. Her Royal Highness the Princess's delicate fingers passed through the soft hair and gently stroked his head. It was very light, gentle and cautious. Ye Changgeng was sure that as long as he dodges, she would retract. .
She was very sad when she learned that her father had left that night. Su Lingxiu didn't say anything and just gently stroked her little head.
Now that Ye Changgeng was unhappy, she thought it would be better if she did this.
She didn't say anything, but she said something.
It's okay, we're here.
"You are……"
"I think this would be better."
"Um."
Tianhua Yali World, east of Tianshi City, lake
The breeze blows the lake water, and weeds grow on the shore.
Buried in the grass are relics and dead bones, together with the not-so-distant Tianshi City, which have been treated as funerary objects by the years.
There are also those ruins and ruins, struggling to describe the glory of the year.
The young man peeled back the weeds and inspected the ancient ruins and ancient weapons.
He just looked at them, not daring to touch them. These things were dead long ago, filled with dust and loess, and were fragile.
Sighing softly, he used the black sword wrapped in rags to push aside weeds that were taller than a man. After walking past the ruins and dilapidated ruins, he sat down by the lake, propped up his fishing rod, and expected something.
What is thrown is the bait and also the key.
The calm lake surface was stirred up by the gentle breeze, making the waves sparkle.
Turning back, I took one last lingering look at the broken walls in the ruins, and then I suddenly picked up my fishing rod.
What followed was the resurgence of something.
The ancient Sanskrit sounds came from the bottom of the lake, and the laws of the world were revealed at this moment. The golden light emerged from the ruins, like the majestic winds of the past.
Buzz buzz——
He smiled and understood, yes.
He lowered the fishing rod again, no, that's not right.
You shouldn't have been born yet, it's not the right time.
The ruins emitting layers of golden light seemed to be drawing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, gradually losing their glory and turning back into mortal objects.
Everything returned to silence.
…
A few days after the Xia Emperor's Millennium Festival, on this ordinary autumn morning, invitations were sent out from the Great Xia Dynasty and displayed on the chopping boards of the kings of the dynasties.
After the war, every move of the Great Xia Dynasty affected the attention of the entire Heluo, and now, a new storm will be set off by it.
…
Yin and Shang dynasties.
The man who was dressed as mysterious and terrifying by the outside world stood in front of the throne, looking at the Heluo Star Territory map coldly with his deep eyes.
The jade stone with the word "Shang" engraved on it was thrown carelessly by him and fell somewhere on the paper.
And his eyes stayed there.
week.
…
Southern Tang Dynasty, Qiong Lingfeng.
"Will there be an alliance?" The young hero of the Southern Tang Dynasty stood on the top of the peak, with his hands behind his back and his sleeves flying. "interesting."
Behind him, the attendant was half-kneeling and said, respectfully. "Yes, alliance of nations."
All powerful countries will come, it’s interesting, it’s interesting.
The man looked forward to the great rivers and mountains and laughed loudly.
…
Fusang Dynasty, court meeting.
The beautiful enchantress is sitting on the throne in a rich costume, and ten dazzling suns are shining on the ancient fusang tree.
Below, the courtiers made impassioned speeches. "I know how your main star field changes. I, Fusang, hold the chasm in my hand and just settle in a corner. This is the ancestral method passed down from ancient times and cannot be changed!"
Fuso's power system is based on the division of clan clans, with three lower clan daimyo who possess absolute power controlling Fuso and electing the throne.
To a certain extent, the rights of the Emperor of Fuso were greatly restricted by them.
And their Demon Emperor just looked on casually. "The time is right, the situation is right, yesterday's method may be different today."
The courtiers are still fierce, and two of the three clans are fiercely resisting the westward march. "My emperor was the one who upheld the status quo in the beginning and was elected as the emperor by the three major clans. Now he has abandoned the ancient ways of the previous emperor. Could it be that we are asked to choose someone else?!"
The head of the Yinyue family didn't stop him. He stood there and threatened him nakedly. As soon as he said this, the expressions of the officials changed.
Even the head of the Susan family, who also expressed his clear opposition, also changed his expression.
The Demon King's beautiful brows furrowed and he couldn't help but sneer.
At this moment, there was once again such a fragmented confrontation in the court. Xichu once again encountered that as the emperor of Fuso, his power was so divided among the three major clans.
Behind the throne, the man smiled coldly.
Every major event must be so divided, and every opportunity must be hesitant. Fuso has missed too many opportunities to rise.
Some people say that the reason for the decline of Heluo is that the upper-level monks were too worn out by successive wars. However, Fuso had the longest period of peaceful development, but it was always unable to get into the Heluoyu family.
It's time for a change.
The Demon King turned to him and smiled. The man moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. Under the astonished eyes of the ministers, he raised the famous sword.
In the main hall, the shadow of the moon is clear.
An hour later, Fusang's reply was that he would definitely participate.
Nan Tang's reply was the same.
After weighing several times, Yin Shang finally responded to participate.
Red Sea, Mechanical City, and Yunlou also agree.
Baiyue will definitely be there.
All nations will unite!
…
Today's meeting of the DPRK ended early, and the government and the opposition started busy early to make preliminary preparations for the alliance of nations.
Not only does the official pay attention to it, but the people also work hard to show their best side to the countries.
The moment the announcement was issued, the streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Shops and vendors put out signs offering 30% profit concessions. People dressed in colorful clothes and gathered around the shrine's music and dance procession poured into the streets, and there was a lot of traffic.
For Daxia, the convening of this alliance was not only to carry out Daxia's long-planned plan, but also was endowed with many important meanings.
It was the first alliance convened by Daxia after it became the hegemon of Heluo. It was a great opportunity to show its national strength to other countries and promote its national prestige.
Hey, it's really fun.
Parting through the crowd, Su Lingxiu could clearly feel that there were more foreigners, and some special races also appeared on the streets.
The cold weapon spirits, the frightening orcs, and some dangerous bugs that can make the crowd separate automatically.
They can even see some visitors from outside the territory.
"All nations will form an alliance..." Ye Changgeng sighed. Practicing all night made him a little tired.
Su Lingxiu slept soundly, so he was full of interest. He firmly believed that the best way to prepare for the decisive battle was to fall asleep deeply.
Ahead, the girl who attracted a lot of attention waved to them, quickly peeled away from the crowd, and trotted to their side, causing a lot of heated discussions.
What a beautiful little girl...
Wow, so delicate...
Not inferior to the princess...
Luo Xiwei didn't care and ran to the two teenagers happily.
Then, I saw her standing on tiptoes, twirling gently, and her white dress dancing gracefully. "Look, I bought a new little skirt!"
The eyes of passers-by were stunned. The charm of the little princess goes without saying.
"It looks great!" Su Lingxiu said happily. This little white dress matched the temperament of his sister, pure and beautiful.
Ye Mou narrowed his eyes and carefully looked up and down her white dress.
She has a pure white skirt, a beautiful neck, skin that is better than snow, and long pale golden hair that shines brightly in the sun. She stands on tiptoes and makes her calves curve gracefully.
"What are you looking at?" The little princess blushed a little. She pushed back the hair hanging from her ears with her slender fingers, and looked away unnaturally.
Ye Changgeng originally wanted to ask what the benefits of this dress were, but suddenly he felt it was inappropriate, so he had to wave his hands and praise the princess with joy.
Wearing new clothes and dancing to music, even the three foreign youths were deeply affected by it. The festive atmosphere of the celebration filled the streets and alleys.
This is just a corner.
On the other side of the arena, grand arrangements also started early.
Although the victory of the showdown between the junior geniuses is not very important, Ruo Yanxu's victory would be a great start to the celebration.
Therefore, the court and opposition parties in the imperial capital paid a lot of attention to this duel.
The pressure naturally fell on Su Lingxiu, who was facing challenges in a foreign country.
…
The side hall of Xia Emperor's palace.
Early in the morning, Emperor Xia secretly ordered several bigwigs from the imperial capital to enter the palace to meet with the emperor. At this moment, the issue was being discussed intensely.
Si Hu, the chief of the Daxia royal family, represents the kings and maintains the imperial power; Ling Yan, the star official of the Astrology Pavilion, who calculates the country's power; Ning Fengsu, the general who controls military affairs and holds the military talisman; and the former Great Zhou general, who has no actual position for the time being. General Lin Tianfeng.
It can be said that almost all the top leaders of Daxia are present at this moment.
Here is a small political hall, where Emperor Xia always received high-level officials to make secrets.
Although the court gathering gathered forces from both the government and the public, it was this small meeting hall that determined the operation of the entire Great Xia.
From the time of Da Xing Guan, ministers began to report work progress to Emperor Xia. "According to the Astrology Pavilion, the Emperor's Star deviated from Heluo to the north, and this star shone, everything was as expected." Ling Yan bowed slightly.
"Good." Emperor Xia said calmly behind the curtain.
Ling Yan, who was wearing a gray astrological robe, stepped back, and Si Hu, who was wearing a robe, stepped forward. "The kings responded, the armament preparation phase is completed, the venue prepared for the alliance, and the honor guard preparation tasks are about to be completed."
Followed by Lin Tianfeng. "Everything at the celebration was carried out normally and in good order."
Obviously, several important ministers did not trust him very much, and Emperor Xia only gave him such insignificant tasks as celebration decoration.
Ning Fengsu, the general with real military and political power, moved forward. "The Three Holy Army is ready and ready to show its might at any time."
"Good, good." Emperor Xia replied. "My lords, do you have anything else to do?"
Several important ministers exchanged looks, and Ning Fengsu came forward. "I have the courage to request that the influence of Prince Yuan's Palace be eradicated!"
