Yongcheng is the largest city in Liangzhou and the capital of Wu Zhao.
Transportation here is well connected in all directions, business was very prosperous during Jin'an's reign, and the population reached hundreds of thousands in its heyday.
The land of Liangzhou is rich in water and grass, suitable for raising livestock. Although farming is not developed, it is barely self-sufficient.
At this time, Yongcheng was in a very depressed state, and could even be said to be deserted. A once very prosperous city was almost lifeless.
Zhao Mingheng is not looking for enjoyment. The Wu Zhao Palace in Yongcheng is not big. It can even be described as shabby. It is just a larger mansion of a wealthy family.
In the early morning, in the Wu Zhao Palace, Wu Zhao King Zhao Mingheng was sitting on a high platform. Under the stage, more than ten Wu Zhao warriors were fighting. Almost all of them no longer looked like ordinary humans. Some had several arms, and some were transformed into giants. , some of the whole body’s bones came out of the body, looking weird and abnormal.
These monsters are extremely fierce, and the combat power displayed by each one is no weaker than that of the master. Although their bodies are dripping with blood, their eyes still look fierce and their fighting spirit is awe-inspiring.
There were also many armored soldiers watching the battle around this group of monsters. They were all smiling and applauding from time to time. There were even some excited guys who were eager to try, as if they wanted to participate.
Zhao Mingheng looked at such a bloody scene. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he was also very interested and had a happy expression.
He is similar in age to Han Linfu, both in their fifties, but he still looks middle-aged at this time.
More than ten years later, Zhao Mingheng's temperament has become more reserved and he looks like a humble ordinary person.
Suddenly a figure appeared in the sky. This person was very young. He was naked and had three pairs of dark wings on his back. He was extremely fast and was already above the palace in the blink of an eye.
There were two people behind Zhao Mingheng who were on guard. They were so powerful that they actually had terrifying power comparable to that of a saint.
The one in the air stopped when he was approaching Zhao Mingheng and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Dashun border!"
Zhao Mingheng said calmly: "Come closer and talk!"
The two masters behind him then put down their guard, but
Upon hearing this, the man immediately flew over and landed firmly on the high platform.
He knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, hundreds of people broke into the Dashun border last night..."
Zhao Mingheng interrupted the Black Wing young man's words. He frowned and said: "Why do you need to report such a trivial matter to me? The border troops can handle it themselves. There are only a few hundred people, they are just blood food."
When Zhao Mingheng finished speaking, the young man with black wings said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, the border army dispatched four Blood God generals and dozens of Blood God guards, but they did not kill all of them..."
Zhao Mingheng suddenly got angry and said: "A bunch of trash! What do these guys do for food? How can you conquer the world with me if something as small as this goes wrong? Send me an order and kill all the Blood God Army who participated in this interception. Order the nearby city lord You will come to see me immediately!"
Faced with Zhao Mingheng's anger, the young man with black wings said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, all the Blood God Army soldiers who participated in this interception have been killed!"
Zhao Mingheng was shocked and said: "How is it possible! Could it be that Shun's army took action?"
He frowned and looked thoughtful, then said: "It's impossible. Even if Great Shun sends tens of thousands of elite troops, with the strength of my Blood God Army, we will not be completely wiped out. Besides, other nearby Blood God Army will not sit back and watch. If you don’t care, there must be a reason!”
"Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed because of Shun, but there is only one person who really takes action, and that is Xiang Wentian, the son of Shun!" The young man with black wings leaned down. He did not dare to look at Zhao Mingheng, looking cautious. .
Zhao Mingheng suddenly said: "It turns out to be him! Crown Prince Shun, the first person of the younger generation, unparalleled domineering, what a great name!"
Although his face was still a little gloomy, he said calmly: "Xiang Wentian took action, and our soldiers from Wu Zhao died unjustly! No wonder the nearby Blood God Army did not dare to take action. When it comes to Crown Prince Shun, we should be more cautious!"
Behind Zhao Mingheng, one of the young masters who looked very ordinary came forward and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, is this the matter?
It's not a big deal for my surname to escape to Dashun. If my secret of Wu Zhao is revealed, it will be a serious matter. Besides, Xiang Wentian has killed so many of us, how can we let him go so easily! "
"Dahu, if I let you make a choice, how would you do it?" A smile actually appeared on Zhao Mingheng's face.
The master who was called Dahu said without hesitation: "What else can we do? Since those damned people can't be captured, let me kill Xiang Wentian! The majesty of the Blood God Army cannot be offended!"
"You kid! If you didn't have such strength now, even Qianhu I would have thought you were rash. You rose too fast and lacked any foundation!" Zhao Mingheng said with emotion.
He suddenly turned around and looked at another master behind him and said, "Qi Xuanzhuo, what do you think?"
This master also looks young, and is very handsome, with a slender figure and a fair face. Although he is wearing armor, his temperament is gentle and elegant.
When Qi Xuan saw King Wu Zhao asking questions, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, I believe that there are not many people left in Liangzhou now, and the Blood God Army is also quite large."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "I have never seen such a powerful army in the history books. Wu Zhao already has the strength to sweep the world. It doesn't hurt to run out with a few common people. Since Prince Shun is willing to wade into this muddy water, I, Wu Zhao, can use this as an excuse to send troops to destroy Shun!"
"Bah, bang, bang, bang..." Zhao Mingheng suddenly clapped his hands and said with an admiring look on his face: "Xuanzhuo, your analysis is right. You are worthy of being the number one scholar of Wu Zhao. I have such a virtuous person like you to help me. Who else in the world can do this?" Stop me!"

As he spoke, he looked at Dahu and said: "Dahu, your strength is almost the same as that of Xuanzhuo, but you must learn from Xuanzhuo in other matters. If Wu Zhao Dynasty wants to unify the Central Plains in the future, it will be difficult for us to rely on brute force alone." I did it!" His tone was sincere, even a bit like the teachings of an elder.
Dahu was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am just a soldier, and I don't have much ink in my stomach. How can I compare with Brother Zhuo, the number one scholar... It is Dahu's greatest honor to serve His Majesty through life and death!"
Zhao Mingheng said helplessly: "You idiot! Xuan Zhuo, teach him more when you have time. You can do this better than me!"
"I obey the decree!" Zhao Xuanzhuo said respectfully.
Dahu smiled naively and said, "I listen to both your Majesty and Brother Zhuo, but I still listen to your Majesty's words more!"
Zhao Mingheng glanced at Dahu and said, "Okay, okay, don't be a good boy! Go down and pass on my order in a moment. The Blood God Army will swallow up all the blood food and be ready to go to war at any time!"
"Okay!" Dahu said with joy on his face, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed silently.
Qi Xuanzhuo showed an unbearable look and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do it?"
"After so many years, the people of Liangzhou all hate Wu Zhao deeply. If they are left here, the consequences will be endless. Moreover, if Liangzhou is clean, the secrets can be kept longer!" Zhao Mingheng said with a smile, his tone and expression not sinister. But the words he spoke were particularly cruel.
Qi Xuanzhuo did not force himself upon hearing the words. He said seriously: "In this case, what should we do? Directly send troops to Shun?"
"That won't work. Since Xiang Wentian gave me a reason to fight with Zhao, it wouldn't be a waste if I don't use it. The etiquette between the two dynasties must be respected. Let's do it first and then fight!" Zhao Mingheng's mouth raised slightly, looking a little sinister.
Qi Xuanzhuo asked in confusion: "There are many ways to be polite first and then use force later. How should we choose?"
Zhao Mingheng did not answer directly. He looked at the Black Wing young man kneeling aside and said, "Boy, what's your name?"
This young man with black wings has lowered his head and remained silent for so long.
Zhao Mingheng suddenly called him, but he didn't respond.
Seeing that the young man with black wings ignored him, Zhao Mingheng said again: "Young man with black wings, I'm calling you!" His tone was majestic, with an aura that could not be disobeyed.
Only then did the young Black Wing man realize that King Wu Zhao was actually speaking to him. He immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Zhao Mingheng smiled and said: "Get up quickly, I don't blame you, but
I need you to do something. As long as you do it well, I will reward you heavily! ! "
He paused for a few breaths and continued: "How about it, do you dare!"
The young man with black wings gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Qu Geng, and I am a scout in Pingliang City on the border of Dashun. As long as your Majesty tells you something, I will go all out and die without mercy!"
"Okay!" Zhao Mingheng smiled and said, "I order you to take a letter of credence and go to the territory of Dashun alone, as our envoy from Wu Zhao to deliver a letter to King Dashun!"
Zhao Mingheng said it lightly, but Qu Geng knew that this trip would be full of dangers. Although the two countries were at war without killing each other, no one could guarantee that the other would not violently kill people.
When Qu Geng heard Zhao Mingheng's order, he agreed without thinking: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go all out to fulfill my mission!"
"Yes, you have courage!" Zhao Mingheng praised.
Zhao Mingheng immediately ordered his men to prepare credentials and then handed them over to Qu Geng.
Qu Geng spread his wings and flew high again, flying towards Dashun.
On this day, Wu and Zhao armies frequently dispatched, and the territory of Liangzhou was like a hell on earth.
On the second day, the entire Liangzhou fell silent, but the scene of mourning people did not appear. The people of Liangzhou seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Just when drastic changes occurred in Liangzhou, the young man with three pairs of black wings had already flown to the territory of Dashun. He was also an expert and brave man, and he actually flew all the way to Yangguan City, the capital of Dashun!
It is said that the emperor guards the gate of the country. Yangguan City is only a few dozen miles away from Ziyang Pass, the largest barrier against the barbarians in the wilderness. If Ziyang Pass is broken, the capital of Shun will directly face the impact of foreign tribes, and it is also possible that the royal family will be directly slaughtered. .
Perhaps because of the importance of Yangguan City, Ziyangguan has never been breached since the founding of Dashun, and the capital of Dashun has always been in peace.
