Outside Yanzhou City, Xiang Rong, covered in blood, galloped on his horse.
As the last descendant of the Chu people, although he does not have the amazing talents of Ruan Shantao, but relying only on the precious talents and learning left over from the Chu royal family in the past, he can still be on par with Ruan Shantao - after all, he is the great Chu of the past. The true essence left over from the previous dynasty, the various technologies in it are even more unbelievable.
Just like now, it is absolutely impossible for the monster to imagine that he can change back after being transformed into a phoenix.
But all this does not come without cost.
Although he got a chance to escape by dismembering his body, he had to sacrifice too much. Restoring his body in Fenghua's huge body was no less than letting him die again, and his tyrannical strength was also affected by it. Completely returned to zero - but what Xiang Rong couldn't accept the most was that he failed to take away the Overlord Halberd.
It's not like he hasn't tried before. After half of the phoenix's body fell to the ground, he escaped by dismembering the corpse. He was the closest to the halberd.
But the big halberd rejected him.
Euphorbia rejected him and wouldn't even let him touch it.
He tried three times, but was bounced back every time. No matter how strong his will was, no matter how much he showed his determination to revive Dachu and even kill the whole world, the big halberd remained unmoved - God knows what happened. Something happened, that big halberd actually denied his domineering power and his hegemony.
So, after hearing the footsteps in the distance, Xiang Rong could only seize the time and escape all the way.
As long as you are alive, it is good. As long as you can still live, there is still hope for everything.
Indeed, he lost this time. The monster left by Ruan Shantao used an inexplicable reason to completely interrupt all plans when the restoration of the Chu Kingdom had just begun, making him feel like he was being ridden by someone. It was as disgusting as having shit on his neck, but at least he wasn't dead yet. He, the last remnant of Dachu, was still alive.
Not only was he alive, he even gradually understood why he was not recognized by the big halberd.
If he didn't know how the monster won just now, now, while running away, he has gradually understood.
Unlike him who had been waiting for decades for the opportunity to start reviving Dachu, that monster risked his life to sit on his body and shit on his neck. Although in terms of rationality, the former is obviously more rational, but in terms of being domineering, the latter is obviously more unreasonable.
However, this world is so unreasonable.
Yes, when looking through the notes left by Chu Ren, he should have realized that the world is so unreasonable - or in other words, being unreasonable is normal. I remember when the people of Chu conquered the world, who did they ever reason with? When Taizu Chen was overwhelming everyone, who did he ever try to reason with? Even not long ago, when he assassinated Ruan Shantao, did he reason with Ruan Shantao?
After all, things like principles are only for the weak. Only the weak need to study the rules and become familiar with the routines, so as to find the part of the rules that is beneficial to them and take advantage of the situation.
As for the strong...the strong don't need to delve into any rules and principles, after all, they themselves are the greatest principles.
"Why……"
Thinking of this, Xiang Rong, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, he had already felt why his old friend regretted it after turning into a monster - just because at this moment, his heart was full of regret.
If he could understand this level earlier, Da Chu's revival plan would not be interrupted. If he could realize this level earlier, he would not go to any grassland at all - when he traveled around the world, he would have You can choose a pleasant place to set up camp first. You know, from when he was young until now, in the past few decades, Ruan Shantao has been able to rise from a white man to an official and a disciple, holding great power.
So in the past few decades, couldn't he have conquered a few cities first and raised the banner of the Chu people first?
You must know that he and Ruan Shantao were no different back then.
If that were the case, the Overlord Halberd of Da Chu would probably have recognized him long ago. With the help of the Overlord Halberd, he would have been able to start a prairie fire, and then he would be able to surrender his old friend in an upright and dignified manner as the King of Chu. The two working together to establish a new dynasty can be regarded as a good story.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
After all, he failed to make such a choice back then, and his old friend was killed by him because he blocked his way.
He once laughed at this old friend who had worked hard all his life, but in the end he fell on an oral edict and did not dare to directly kill the little emperor Nan Chen - but now thinking about it, he himself was not afraid. Nan Chen Bingfeng didn't dare to raise the banner of the Chu people, but even if he wanted to take action, he would go to the prairie people to borrow troops?
In the final analysis, there is no difference between him and Ruan Shantao.
"No, there's something different."
Xiang Rong narrowed his eyes.
Yes, there is another thing that is different.
That is, he is still alive.
He is still alive, he still has a chance, not to mention, he is completely different from the person he once was - now he has clearly understood what true hegemony is, and now he has the will to change reality. Even though he is old now, as long as you give him some time, give him some more time...
"Master! Why are you here?"
Just when Xiang Rong was in a state of excitement and was about to find a place to make a comeback, a voice stopped him.
"Master, why are you not wearing much clothes?"
"……Um?"
Xiang Rong looked up and found that the figure on the horse on the gentle slope in the distance looked familiar.
Yes, isn't this his good disciple?
He's getting better, he's really getting better this time. Who would have thought that at this desperate time, he would still have such good luck - the cats and dogs he took in in the past have now grown into reliable guards. With such a person by his side, his chances of winning are even better!
"I was in such a hurry when I came out just now that I forgot about it."
While stopping his horse, Xiang Rong greeted Cui Yuan warmly.
"It's you, why are you here?"
"I have something to do here. I need to find someone."
Saying this, Cui Yuan turned over and dismounted.
"But if I can see you, Master, I happen to have something I need to ask for advice...Master, there is something unclear about my swordsmanship."
"Now is not the time to say these things."
Xiang Rong waved his hands repeatedly.
The pursuers from behind don't know when they will come, and now is no time to talk about swordsmanship.
"Let's go on our way first. If anything happens, we'll talk about it after we get to a safe place."
He really should find a safe place. He shouldn't be able to go back to the Mobei Grassland. The Khan who lost 20,000 vanguard troops might want to eat him alive. In comparison, Nanchen is a good place to go. Jizhou and Yanzhou are like this, and Shanbei Road is almost destroyed. Next, Nanchen will definitely send troops north to defend against the prairie people's attack - and this This means that he can go over the mountain, to Shannan Road, to Yizhou or Haizhou, or even further to Yangzhou.
It is said that the Great Hermit hid in the city, but no one would have thought that he, a descendant of the Chu people, would dare to go deep into the vicinity of the capital of Jiankang.
And the prosperous Yangzhou is indeed a good place for recuperation.
"So what did you just say?"
After confirming his destination, Xiang Rong realized that his disciple seemed to be mumbling something.
"Is there a problem?"
"That's true...ah, it's okay."
Cui Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Master, I just want to say..."
As he said this, a broken sword with no tip suddenly pressed against Xiang Rong's neck.
Looking at the broken sword around his neck and Cui Yuan's serious face, Xiang Rong couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, this was the reason why he didn't take this cheap apprentice to work in the first place. Strictly speaking, his apprentice is not bad, he has perseverance and understanding, but his temper is a bit eccentric and he always likes to make unexpected moves.
Just like now, the tip of the sword is broken, and I still have to use this method to tell him.
"It doesn't matter, it's a cheap sword I bought in Jizhou anyway."
Xiang Rong shook his head, not even bothering to push the broken sword away.
"Okay, just throw this thing away. The tip of the sword is gone, and it can't kill anyone..."
Zheng——
The five-foot sword flashed instantly.
Xiang Rong's big head fell down in response.
"...Master?"
Cui Yuan was stunned as he watched the head with a smile still on it slowly rolling down the slope.
How could the master who was omnipotent in his eyes not even be able to stop this?
The second update is here. I will go to bed early today. Good morning everyone.
