Gongsun Wulou ran down the tower quickly, and his roar echoed in the gate of the inner city: "Cheer up, mount your horse, and follow me to kill the enemy!"
A burst of cheers in Xianbei language rang out, and thousands of riders followed Gongsun Wulou toward the direction of the east city. Many of them were thin, with white faces and no beards. They were only wearing light leather armor, and those with heavy armor were on their bodies. The soldiers of the Suwei army were in sharp contrast with the exquisite patterns of birds and animals embroidered on them. Even the horses they rode were much shorter. It looked like a group of adults and children going hunting.
The black robe gently shook his head and turned to a red-faced veteran who came to him at some point. He was fully armed and had a white beard. He said: "King Guiyang, I will listen to you this time and let Gongsun go to the fifth floor." Send these palace guards away, your master must have been transferred out in advance."
This white-bearded veteran was none other than the veteran general of the Yan Kingdom, Murong Zhen, King of Guiyang. When Murong Chao listened to the black robe and raised an army to invade Jin, he had tried his best to dissuade him, and even said in desperation that I The army must be defeated, and all Han officials must be like the Wuyue people, with haircuts and tattoos, which made Murong Chao furious and almost killed him on the spot, although Murong Lan spared his life after begging for mercy. ,, but also thrown into death row.
During the Battle of Linqu, Heipao privately released Murong Zhen and asked him to lead an attack on the flank of the Jin army, creating opportunities for him to attack Liu Yu under the commander's platform. Although the Yan army was defeated, both of them were lucky enough to escape. , can be regarded as one of the few bright spots of the Yan army in the disastrous defeat of Linqu. After returning to the city, although the black robe once again became the patron saint of the soldiers and civilians in the city because of reorganizing the city defense, Murong Zhen, as the veteran general of the Murong clan, He has also begun to master heavy troops. Murong's armored cavalry is now completely under his command. In a vague way, he has the ability to compete with the black robes, or at least have the ability to check and balance them.
Murong Zhen's white beard was fluttering in the wind, and he said coldly: "Heipao, you really talk about people when you see them, tell lies when you see them, and lie to everyone when you see them. How did I know that you would do this this time?" Aren’t you going to deceive me too?”
The black robe smiled slightly and took off his mask: "Look, now even my identity has been publicly revealed to you. Don't you think this sincerity is enough?"
Murong Zhen shook his head: "To be honest, when I first learned that you were Murong Chui, I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep for several days. Now I can't accept this fact. You restored the country with your own hands, and then destroyed it with your own hands." Guo, I don’t understand what you think.”
The black robe put on his mask and said coldly: "You should have heard when I was talking to Alan. It was related to a curse from our clan, our clan's art of war, the art of iron cavalry, and the secret of black fire. They all come from a mysterious power, but when we obtained this power, we were cursed, causing us to fight each other for generations, and the country was not long gone. If nothing else, you are an old general of Xiyan, and you have experienced From Murong Hong, Murong Chong, and Murong Yong to the series of killing each other, and finally to me personally destroying Xiyan, don’t you believe this?"
Murong Zhen sighed: "If these are really God's will, then what is the way to change and reverse it? Is destroying Dayan like you personally the way to break the curse?"
Heipao smiled slightly: "This is metaphysics. You don't need to know that the laws of this world are full of magical destiny. Just like me, I originally died and passed away, but God brought me back to life as Heipao. To reappear in this world is to risk death and live again."
Murong Zhen lowered his head and thought, silently.
The black robe stepped forward and patted Murong Zhen on the shoulder: "When I destroyed Xiyan, from Murong Yong to Diao Yun, I killed many Xiyan generals, but I only kept you. Do you know the reason? "
Murong Zhen shook his head blankly and said, "How can I possibly guess what you are thinking?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Because when you were telling fortunes since you were a child, the wizard said that you will die and be reborn, and you will be blessed and contribute to the fate of the tribe. It is precisely because of this fate that your father named you As a Zhenzi, the future of our Murong clan needs you to guard it, not others!"
Murong Zhen laughed: "You are really good at joking. You have so many descendants. Instead of passing them on, you want to give me this clan member who has already been released in five servers and has the same surname as Murong. This is another What’s the point?”
The black robe shook his head: "Because, to break this curse, we must first abandon the useless family relationships in this world, especially the relationships between father and son, and brotherhood. The more we value this, the more we want to give power to our sons and nephews. Such quarrels among the princes are the source of chaos. Dayan destroyed the country twice, and this time it is in danger. Isn't it because, as the father of the emperor, he does not consider ability, only considers family affection, and would rather give up the power of the family and the country? Did leaving it to a son who knew he had no ability caused these tragedies?"
Murong Zhen gritted his teeth: "Now that you are telling me these things, why didn't Murong Chao join me in admonishing him when he returned to Nanyan? Instead, he helped Murong De make him the crown prince. After you caused trouble once, If Yan is not enough, Nan Yan must also be finished together?"
The black robe sighed: "This is to risk your life and survive. This is true for us as individuals, and it is also true for the country. There are many people who have this opportunity to change their lives against fate. This is true for you, me, and Ade. Even Murong Sheng of Beiyan was said to be someone who was destined to have this ability. But who can achieve this great cause depends on reality. Murong Chao also has the ability to change his destiny, otherwise he would not be a beggar. It's a pity that he became a prince, but his luck may have been affected by Gongsun Wulou beside him. This was not something I could have predicted at the beginning."
Murong Zhen sneered and said: "I think you are just too old and your brain is not working well. You have left so many loyal and capable nephews unused, and you just want to destroy the country and the family for some false talk about changing your fate." Even if you don’t do anything, it won’t be like this.”
The black robe said coldly: "You said that Dayan's demise was due to me. Well, let me ask you, what does Xiyan's cannibalism have to do with me? You helped Murong Yong kill Murong Chong. Are they also my responsibility? I say King Guiyang, these are fates and curses, and they are not something we mortals can control!"
Murong Zhen was speechless. After a long while, he sighed: "If it is really a fate or a curse, is there no other way to reverse it? Can it be resolved by actively causing the destruction of the country and the family?"
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "Yes, only by putting yourself to death and living again can you achieve peace for thousands of years, and you are the key person in this plan!"
