Chapter 40 The Prophecy of the Star Trajectory

29th year of Shinra, October 1st.

Mengyang, Night Country, Night City.

As one of the most powerful vassal states, the Night Kingdom is adjacent to the imperial capital, in order to defend the security of the imperial capital at any time. Therefore, the Night Kingdom is the most detached one among the princes, and every emperor will try his best to have a good relationship with the Lord of the Night Kingdom. The Lord of the Night Kingdom is not only a prince, but also a hereditary general of the dynasty! The power of the general is reflected in a 'big' character. Among the famous generals in Mengyang, only Ye Mingshan is the 'general' and has the right to control all the soldiers and horses of the empire. Above the court, it can be said that under one person, above ten thousand people.

Of course, the tree attracts a lot of wind. At the time of Emperor Shenluo, there will always be rumors about General Zhentian. Some people say that the night country is too close to the imperial capital, and the 100,000 light armored brigade of the night country may be a great threat to the emperor, but Yeming Mountain has still maintained a respectful attitude towards the royal family for so many years, and the royal family also gave him a horse-giving sword. Xu Qi rode into the palace and met the emperor to avoid kneeling and worshiping!

All kinds of gifts make others jealous.

The only crisis in the night country was 13 years ago. Ye Mingshan, the lord of the country, abolished the throne of Ling Yunyao, the daughter of Ling Feng, the lord of Ling Kingdom, and the throne of Ye Yuanhong's son, and changed a woman of unknown origin as queen. This incident angered Ling Feng, who was in the high position of the left prime minister. He even threatened to eliminate the night kingdom in Mengyang. Name, abolishing the position of general of Yeming Mountain, everyone thought that there would be great turmoil in the night country, but at that time, Emperor Shinra came forward to suppress this matter. The status of Ye Mingshan did not waver at all, but made Ling Feng fierce and disgraced. Since then, the gap between the two lords, Wenchen and the head of the military general has deepened every moment.

On the stage, Ye Mingshan was dressed in moon and white armor, and his white brocade was drifting in the wind. His resolute face was covered with a shadow, and his eyes were more gloomy than usual. He sat on his horse and looked down at the ranks of warriors heading for the city. The real war is coming soon, just like the war with the god of war in the grassland a hundred years ago, how many of these warriors can come back alive?

A lieutenant Che Chi half knelt in front of the mountain horse and said in a sonorous voice, "General, the letter from the scout stationed in Yining City still hasn't found the body of the major general!"

The muscles on Ye Mingshan's face twisted dangerously, and his hand holding the reins burst into terrible blue veins. He did not look at the captain, but still looked at the fast-moving warriors below, but said coldly, "Continue to look, even if you dig three feet, you can find it out. Otherwise. You don't have to come back..."

"Yes." The captain did not hesitate or doubt the general's words. He turned around and walked to his horse.

The vice general heard the strangeness in the general's voice. Looking at the gloom in the general's eyes and the iron slag on his chin, he only felt a heartache. Perhaps there is nothing more painful than sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man, not to mention such an excellent child, only 18 years old and just an adult...

"Jiangqu, have the advance troops and grain and grass arrows arrived in the city? And defensive wooden buildings, shield walls, fire oil, and rolling wood can all be prepared? The general's gloom just now suddenly disappeared, and he became as tough as a rock again, and his voice was as decisive as thunder.

Ye Jiangqu is the name of the deputy general. He is a disciple of the Ye family. He is about 30 years old. He is very talented and loyal to Ye Mingshan. According to the general's intention, the three shield walls have been prepared. Ten wooden buildings were arranged at the east and west gates of the city and 15 at the south gates. The tower of the city is full of fire oil and rolling wood. As long as the enemy does not have a heavy siege machine such as the cone, we can definitely support it... And the cone is only available in Shen, and only there are giant trees that can grow to nearly 15 feet in Shen, so don't worry about this.

The general's face did not relax. He just pulled out the emperor's edict from his waist bag, handed it to Ye Jiangqu, and said, "Look!"

The vice general hesitantly took over the luxurious golden silk edict, carefully unfolded it, read it line by line, and his eyes were round and full of shock. He couldn't close his mouth for a long time and said, "Shen Guo, Shen Guo and Chi Nasi have formed an alliance? What does the Lord of State of State Shen want to do? That's pushing Shen Guo to the forefront of the storm!"

Ye Mingshan sneered: "Shen Gulan's mind is already obvious. He doesn't care what kind of situation Shen Guo is in. For him, every corner of Mengyang should belong to Shen Guo. He has been eager for this day for a long time. This time, Chi Nasi's invasion of Mengyang is his best and last chance. If he doesn't do it, I will feel strange... Shen Gulan, not the kind of small role that a small prince king can fill his appetite. That kind of person can only set off the whole world!"

"General, if there is no fiery horse to compete with the vigorous horse of Chi Nasi, we will fight very hard. In the first battle of Yining City, almost five of our walking warriors exchanged the lives of a vigorous warrior. This time, although there is the wall of the erratic city as a support, but..." The vice general couldn't help shivering and thought of Yining City. During the war in the eastern suburbs, the heavy cavalry of the black armored black horse waved the fierce scene of five feet long * vertical and horizontal chopping, and felt that their chests were as cold and suffocated as ice.

"Jiangqu, you should understand the truth that this is long. Now we have to face not only the vigorous riding of Chi Nasi, but also the fiery riding of Shen Guo, and even add the 'Haya riding' that has not yet exposed its poisonous teeth in the dark. They are all cavalry, and our brigade battle array is already at a disadvantage. Ye Mingshan said solemnly. However, the order of the imperial capital was to arrange the battle array and pretend to attack Chi Naisi before October 3rd. Although it did not explain why he did so, I felt that the front opened up by the emperor was more than the erratic city. The scout reported that the Feng Mid-Autumn Festival of Qiuyue Kingdom has returned to China with all the soldiers and horses, and the army is pressing on the border between Shen and Qiuyue Kingdom. Jiang Qu, what's wrong with this?

The vice general pondered for a moment and said, "Recently, Duke Shen assassinated the lord of the Southern Liang Kingdom, killed all the Nanliang warriors, and sent the left-behind warriors to break through the capital of Nanliang and behead all the members surnamed Liang... He did not pay attention to the royal family at all, and the royal family was murderous to the State of Shen. When we contain the army of Chi Nasi and the State of Shen, it is when Nanliang attacks the State of Shen. At that time, the State of Shen has no time to take care of the country and will be destroyed! General, is that right?

Ye Mingshan looked up at the sky. The sky in October was still as pure as blue, like the most flawless ice cubes! He sighed, "Your analysis seems to be in line with the direction of the overall situation, but you still have no intention to see through the royal family! The order of the royal family is a 'pretense', the purpose is to make the State of Shen have the strength to return to his home country and return to the State of Shen to rescue at the speed of the fierce horse! It is not the State of Shen that will be destroyed, but the Kingdom of Qiuyue!"

The vice general was stunned and seemed difficult to accept this. He said with difficulty, "What good is this for the royal family? You will only lose a strongyuan to help the emperor fight against Chi Naisi..."

"Jiangqu, don't be too naive. Whether it is Shen Gulan or Feng Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not a good thing in the eyes of the royal family. Shen Gulan's ambition is well known all over the world. When Feng Mid-Autumn Festival was in Yining City, it was not a good intention to put me to death with the king of Chi Nasi! For the royal family, no matter who dies, it is a good thing!!" Ye Mingshan said. In fact, there was earth-shaking surprise under his calm eyebrows. When Nanliang was destroyed, the emperor opened one eye and closed one eye, and there was no obvious reaction, as if he had acquiesced. Now it has put such a situation for Shen and Qiuyue, and it is destined to destroy one of them. Will the other vassal states be the third and fourth...? Perhaps Chi Nasi's invasion of Mengyang has made the new Emperor Lin Xi realize the ambition of the vassal states and want to take the opportunity of Chi Nasi to destroy the vassal states... But the great confidence from Emperor Lin Xi to deal with Chi Nasi and several vassal states at the same time? Is it just more than 30,000 imperial forest troops in the esare city? But those 30,000 people on the battlefield are not enough to see at all!

Ye Mingshan was at a loss. For a moment, he didn't know if he was loyal to the royal family? Maybe the royal family has sharpened its knife to itself - after all, the power to rule all the soldiers and horses of the empire is too great, and the royal family will also be unstable. However, let's get through the current barrier first. The day after tomorrow, October 3rd, the official war against Chi Nasi will begin!

He tried his best to force himself not to think about these things, and continued to say to the deputy general: "When Shen Guo returns to his own country for rescue, the pressure on our side will be greatly reduced, and the safety of the erratic city can be more guaranteed. The royal family's decision kills two birds with one stone! This Emperor Lin Xi is very calm! Terrible, indeed terrible!"

The vice general didn't speak for a long time, just lowered his head!

"What's wrong, Jiang Qu?" The general asked with a smile.

"General, is it meaningful for us to work for the imperial family like this? Even your son, Master Yuanhong, died in the battlefield. We will die at any time, and the lives of countless warriors will be buried under the erratic city. Is all this worth it? Does it make sense or not?" The vice general's voice was full of resentment and sadness! Accustomed to the bloody rain, he became soft in an instant.

The general smiled in a low voice, "Does it make sense? Does it make sense? I don't know either!" With that, he waved his sleeves and pointed to the majestic brigade under the worship platform, "These are just the foundation of the throne!" The emperor who started the country in Mengyang also relied on hundreds of thousands of lives to build the magnificent palace of Mengyang. If you ask what the meaning is, the current Mengyang is the meaning! If we die in battle and future generations still ask what the meaning is, they are not qualified to claim to be Mengyang people again! Whether we are emperors or soldiers, we are just a brick of Mengyang! Mengyang's prosperity depends on everyone. If you ask about the meaning, that's all! What's the pain of life and what's the fear of death?

The vice general thought for a moment, calmed down and said, "I understand!

"Go ahead, you also set out for the city, and I will lead the remaining warriors immediately!" The general said slowly, with a sense of fatigue in his voice - it was still difficult for him to let go of Ye Yuanhong's matter!

The deputy general left, and the platform suddenly became empty. The footsteps of the majestic warrior below are shocking! General Mumu looked at it and sighed faintly. How many people can finish the life alone? No one can escape!

Suddenly, the surroundings suddenly died. The warriors under the generals were marching, but there was no shocking footsteps. The war horses opened their mouths and hiss, but they could not hear the sound of horses - just like walking into the most absurd fantasy. Ye Mingshan was not panicked. He had experienced this kind of thing, and he knew who was coming!

"You are going on an expedition again!" The voice of a cold woman is like the sound of flowing water and the crisp wind bell, but the ice-like coldness in the voice is extremely intimidating.

The general looked back. Yes, it was her, the perfect god, the mysterious magician, the goddess who would make the emperors of the whole continent launch a war in front of the secular world, and also his wife! But it's just a reputation. How can he have such a perfect woman? The peerless face is as beautiful as the bright moon in the night sky, but the noble temperament makes people not have any blasphemous thoughts! The general's eyes quickly moved away, and he didn't even dare to look at this woman! Just slowly said, "Yes, the imperial edict!"

"I should have brought the stars to see you, but the child has been unhappy since he came back from the imperial capital. He was targeted by the kind of person I mentioned to you, and the child was scared! He asked me to tell you that he loves you very much and wants to come back safely. He doesn't want to lose his brother, even your father!" The queen's voice is still cold. She stands ten feet away from the general. Her beautiful face is as calm as water, not like a wife and husband at all...

The general was moved. Can the crying star live to the day when he turned into a dragon and flew to the sky and dance in Kyushu? But he is a general. How can he be affectionate and indecisive at this time? He forced himself to say coldly, "I know, tell his father that he will come back safely to see him!" Somehow, the general's voice trembled!

"One more thing, there are magicians who will participate in the war! Although I don't know how much he has grown in the past 300 years, your mortal army can't be his opponent! Moreover, because of me, you may be killed by him! I counted the stars all night last night, and the trajectory of several stars representing the war showed that the highest general in Mengyang would die!" The queen said lightly!

"Is it?" The general smiled low, without panic or uneasiness, and said lonelyly, "I'll try to survive!" I desperately want to live a day when I can see the stars standing at the highest and looking down on all sentient beings!"

"If the sorcerer wants to kill, no one can survive! However, I will stop him!! If he really attacks you, I will stop him. Although it will violate the trajectory of the stars, but... You helped me at the beginning, and it's back to you!" As soon as the words fell, she suddenly disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

The surrounding sound recovered, and all kinds of voices filled the general's mind like an explosion. He muttered with confused eyes, "A woman like you should not appear in the world at all!"
