Two days later.
Ozawa City. Night.
The clanking sound of running water was flowing out of the official residence of the Taishou mansion in Daze City. At the beginning, the sound of the guqin was very graceful and gentle, but if one was attentive, they would have another kind of creepy feeling. It was like looking at a beautiful slim woman with red makeup from afar, but finding out after approaching that she was a ghost with her feet floating off the ground.
Dressed in blue, a Liaoguo cultivator quickly walked around the corridor to the main hall where the sound of the guqin was heard. He held his arms outside the door and said, "Guoshi! The watchtower on the outskirts of the city found that the army of Chonghua is approaching. It could reach the outside of Daze in half an hour at most!"
The people in the room didn't answer. Only the bright orange light penetrated through the white gauze that was stretched over the window.
When the treacherous and secluded curl came to an end, the gate opened with a squeak.
Liaoguo's Guoshi walked out unhurriedly.
The man was wearing a delicate gold mask and a gold crown. He was obviously just a Guoshi, but he was bold enough to get more and more handsome. He was wearing a gauze silk robe embroidered with dragon patterns. The robe was inlaid with silver edges. The pattern was woven from silk thread refined from the tail feathers of birds. When the moon shone, it was full of color.
"So fast." As soon as the Guoshi opened his mouth, he spoke in a very relaxed tone. "I thought it would take them at least three days to get here. It seems that we have occupied a large area of prosperity, but we have upset the yellowmouthed child on the throne of Chonghua."
He said with a smile, "Since the teachers of justice have been so eager to fight with us, then go to the city to prepare for it. You must not disappoint the guests who have come from far away."
The herald was still in the posture of bowing his head and embracing his arms. Although the tone of the Guoshi sounded calm and the face looked pleasant, the herald dared not even raise his head in front of him.
Everyone in Liaoguo, even babbling children, knew that in this dark country, the most terrible thing was not the monarch, but the Guoshi who put the monarch in power.
He was moody and cruel. What he did could not be measured by reason and rules. Let alone other people, even the young Liao Jun was just a puddle of mud that he could throw away at any time.
At the beginning, when the emperor ascended the throne, he wanted to unite his mother's clan to pull out the powerful man.
But what about the results?
As a result, before the bureau was set, all the tusks were extracted by the national division, and all the officials involved were chopped into meat and mud. Despairing and collapsing, the prince ran to his mother and concubine to depend on them. But on that cold night, the Guoshi came to Liao Jun's mother and concubine's bedroom. It seemed that he deliberately wanted to test out the blood nature of the new king. He was so mad that he insulted the woman in front of the young prince, and then he laughed wildly and led her.
In the sleepy and extravagant dormitory, the master of the state was lazily openminded and exposed a large and strong chest. He dipped his finger in the woman's blood and applied it on Liao Jun's face with a smile.
As for Liao Jun, he shivered. The first emotion that broke out was not his mother's hatred, but his fear.
"Don't kill me… Don't kill me... "
The Guoshi could not hear his anger without laughing. "Don't kill you? You are a coward."
"Wuwuwu Guoshi... Please. Please... "
"But that's fine." The Guoshi looked at the blood on his fingertips and said with a smile, "If you are as strong as your mother, you would be exciting to play with.
But it's good to stay by your side and raise the tiger for trouble - you're a little bit cowardly."
At that time, the minister was superior to the king, even the blind could see it.
Some scholars in Liaoguo even advised the Guoshi to replace them, but the Guoshi didn't mean to.
"What's interesting about being a king? I'm too tired. It's better to be the Guoshi. It's tempting."
"What I want to do most in my life is have the position of national teacher," the man smiled wearily. "You don't want to force me to ascend the throne. I am very good. Where has such a wolf had ambition."
He was not a wolf. He was a beast sucking blood. But he also liked pretending to be kind. Even if he looked up from the belly of his prey, he could still use his bloody face to show the sweetest smile.
Therefore, in the mainland of Kyushu, in fact, everyone was very clear that Liaoguo's world was not in the hands of the king, but belonged to the moody man.
The Guoshi of Liaoguo was the real master of this dark country.
At this moment, the herald was serving this man, and the herald naturally knew the benefits. Before him, in this year, thirty-two cultivator heralds of Liaoguo had already died. Some people didn't even know what they were sentenced for, what made the Guoshi unhappy and wanted to behead them.
Or maybe the national teacher was not unhappy. He just wanted to cut off people's heads.
"What are you doing? You are not going to prepare the garrison at the gate?" The Guoshi smiled. "I can't deal with this matter well. Do you want to disturb me playing the guqin tonight?"
However, the herald felt white sweat all over his body and said, "Yes! I, I will go now! Go now!"
He ran off in a rush.
The Guoshi smiled at his hurried back, stood in the courtyard for a while, and turned back to the main hall.
The main hall was now a human purgatory - the body of the self-confessed eunuch of Chonghua's Daze City had not been carried out. The eunuch's wife, concubines and six children had hanged themselves and their bodies had not been released.
He walked through the hall for a long time. His long fingertips brushed the dangling corpse. His face was relaxed as if he were blowing the wind bell.
The Guoshi liked this situation very much. Because he has this abnormal habit, even if he has been in the Lord's mansion for two days, he had not sent anyone to clean up the body.
He walked all the way to the end of the main hall, where there was an ancient guqin belonging to him. Under the bright light, one could see that the guqin was made of human skin and hair, inlaid with nine eyes which were moving in a crazy way.
He sat down beside the guqin, tuned several strings, closed his eyes, and caressed it again.
"There is a thatched cottage in the west of Wanliqiao, and the water of Baihuatan is the waves. The wind is green, the rain is red, and the perfume is fragrant. The old book of Houlu is broken, and the hungry and childish are desolate. If you want to fill in the ravine, you can only let it go, and you will be more crazy if you laugh…"
His fingertip rubbed a long and leisurely note which ended sad and soft. And when he played a folk song to coax children to dream, there was already a roar of dispute outside the far wall.
After a long time, maybe one hour, maybe two.
The earth seemed to tremble with a loud bang——
A vague scream came from the remote gate. "Open the border! Open and defend the border!"
"Cultivators guard the eastern gate!"
The cry of blood and fire burst out at the gate of the city. When it came to the Imperial Palace, it had become a fragmented voice, and it was also washed up by the sound of the nine eyed guqin like a mirror.
At the end of the song, the Guoshi finally raised his head and gave a light command, "They're attacking the city very fast. Go out and ask who are the commanders of Chonghua are this time."
After a while, the retinue who was standing beside him went out. After a while, the retinue ran back and said, "Reporting to Guoshi that the brothers in the city guarding camp say that the commander sent by Chonghua is their Xihe Jun Mo
Xi!"
The Guoshi said calmly, "It's not an accident at all. Mo Xi is brave and good at fighting, but he can't fight with his shixiong. Now that we sent Gu Mang back, it's no surprise that Chonghua sent him here. How about the deputy?"
"Murong Lian."
The guoshi said with a smile, "Just a smoker."
"And one more."
"Oh?" the Guoshi was interested. "Who is it?"
"Murong Mengze."
The Guoshi's fingers on the strings stopped, and then he hissed, "Sending a woman to be the deputy commander! Is Chonghua going to die, or is their little emperor going to let his sister and Mo Xi duo climb their friendship? Murong Mengze… A medicine cultivator with a weak spirit core is the deputy commander - how many does she lead from Chonghua?"
"Fifty thousand."
The Guoshi said with a smile, "Fifty thousand? Even though she has a strategic mind, she is not afraid to drag others behind even if she is weak. How cheeky the girl is."
"What the master said is very true."
"By the way." The Guoshi stopped for a moment and suddenly asked, "How about Gu Mang? I heard that his relationship with Mo Xi was becoming more and more peaceful. Before, Mo Xi brought him back to his house to be a servant. Has he come in this battle?"
"Reporting to the Guoshi. General Gu -" The retinue knew that he was speechless and hurriedly changed his voice. "This subordinate is speechless. It's Gu, Gu Mang - "
The Guoshi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. He worked for me for five years.
I don't have so many rules and regulations. If you want to continue to call him General Gu, it's OK."
That's right, but how dare you call Gu Mang handsome again?4
The retinue immediately said, "Reporting to Guoshi, according to the information obtained by the Liao military department the day before yesterday, Gu Mang was sent by the emperor of Chonghua to be the test body of the black devil research. When he came out, he was dying. Unless there was the help of the great immortal Luo, he could not recover to the point where he could come to the front line in such a short time, even if he was soaked in Tianxiang life extension dew."
Guoshi heard the words, but he didn't have any leniency. He squinted his eyes, and there was some indeterminate light in his eyes. "Who says Chonghua doesn't have great Luo? Is Jiang Fuli not a sage who can revive a dead man's flesh and bones?"
There was a sneer in the words.
The retinue hurriedly said, "The spy who was following Jiang Fuli said that Jiang Fuli had gone out again and was not in Chonghua capital."
"His lightness skill is very good. He is always haunted. If he doesn't want to be noticed, even if you keep your eyes on him, he will always get into the air," the guoshi said. "Among the enemies, we don't need to be too concerned about Murong Lian and Murong Mengze. We just need to pay attention to Mo Xi. And... If there are any people suspected to be Gu Mang, please report to me immediately."
"Yes!"
The Guoshi brushed his sleeves. "Go ahead, let them guard the city. I'm going to shut myself in for three days. After three days, I'll solve these problems myself."
The retinue replied respectfully and soon bowed down.
The Guoshi's put his fingertips on the strings again, and he moved them a few times, and then he played the long melody.
"The old book of Houlu is broken, and the hungry and childish are desolate. If you want to fill in the ravine, you can only let it go, and laugh at yourself. You are more crazy when you are old..."
The night deepened, and the roar of fighting and crackling in the distance was so clear and audible.
Outside the city wall, Chonghua and Liaoguo's practitioners were fighting against each other, and gradually the blood flowed into a river. However, the sound of Guoshi's guqin in the Imperial Palace in the depth of the city never stopped.
When the Wu hook hung high, and white frost fell on the tiles, an oil lamp in the government office of the crown prince burned to the extreme. It burst and splashed out a string of fireworks, which went out suddenly.
There were so many dead eunuchs hanging in the palace, so it looked more ghostly and gloomy. But it was precisely because of the dim light that suddenly, at the back of the gauze curtain which was a foot away from the Guoshi, a fuzzy ball of light floating in the air that had always been there suddenly became visible.
But the ball was so dim that it didn't look very well before. It was so weak that it seemed to disappear at any time.
The Guoshi raised his eyes, which were projected from the golden cover and fell on the shadowy ball of light.
He clasped his teeth and murmured to it, "Jingchen, look. I've coaxed you for so long, don't you want to wake up?"
The light that had become withered to "clean dust" flashed and then slowly went dark.
The Guoshi narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "There must be a limit to willfulness. Come back earlier, and then go back with me. If you fall into the heavy hands of Chonghua, they will not understand you as well as I do."
"You don't want to be sealed. That's right."
"Be good, wake up…"
