Starfall

Chapter 84 Ye Yuanhong

In the first year of Mengyang Linxi, October 18, autumn is refreshing.

All the noble ministers of Qiuyue Kingdom were beheaded. Feng Zhongqiu, the lord of the country, was nailed to four long guns in a luxurious golden robe. Emperor Lin Xi personally cut off his head, indicating the anger and dissatisfaction of the royal family's tyranny. After that, Emperor Lin Xi ordered to disperse all the property of Feng Zhongqiu to the civilians of Qiuyue to appease the people, such as Shen Guo and Nanliang. Then, the head and body of Feng Mid-Autumn Festival were hung on the flagpole of the dilapidated capital in autumn to make an example. But at night, Feng Zhongqiu's body was quietly removed and transported to a secret place for burial. There was only a small mound without a tombstone. It is inevitable that a generation of princes will end up like this. Some people say that the person who took down the body of Feng Zhongqiu is very similar to Lu Miaobai, who has never appeared, and they can't be sure whether it is or not.

But history is like this, vague and difficult to explain.

After that, Emperor Lin Xi set up several major vassal states as counties, with the name unchanged, but changed the 'country' to 'county'. The princesses were all newly selected young ministers who were loyal to the royal family. Under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, Emperor Lin Xi will not let such a thing happen again. The princes are the emperors in the kingdoms, and people's awe of the princes is greater than the awe of the royal family. And the princes crossed the royal family to buy people's hearts, which is betrayal. Emperor Lin Xi will not continue this, which is why he is so determined to destroy several vassal states.

The first thing these princesses did after taking office was to open the treasure house of princes, distribute the wealth accumulated by the princes for hundreds of years to civilians, and spread property in the name of Emperor Lin Xi to comfort people. People's lives are much richer than during the reign of princes, and the emperor issued an edict to reduce taxes to 50% in the next three years to rest and recuperate. So those who were worried that the emperor would directly manage them and levy heavy taxes were relieved and readily accepted the fact that the royal family ruled directly. There is no expected civilian violence. Chaos, disobeying the emperor's order happened.

It has been half a month since the Chinasi people retired from the grassland, but too many things have happened in the past half month. People only feel deep fear. In half a month, the State of Shen, Ling and Qiuyue were destroyed one after another, and most of their leaders were beheaded. At this time, only the princes left were the Lord of the Night Kingdom, General Ye Mingshan. Many people who visit every day can break through the threshold, for fear that the gifts prepared are not expensive enough, and they try their best to get along with Yeming Mountain. At this time, the Ye family is the most detached existence of Mengyang. Everyone believes that the emperor will not attack the night country. After all, General Zhentian is the first person to fight in Mengyang in 50 years and the military emperor of Mengyang!

The reconstruction of Mengyang is progressing smoothly. After all, Emperor Shenluo has left a solid family background for Emperor Lin Xi. As long as he has money, everything is not a problem. According to the news from the scouts, the Chinas people have left the territory of Mengyang and are moving towards the wilderness and mountains. Everything seems to be calm. When Mengyang seems to have returned to the prosperity of Emperor Shenluo, people rarely enjoy such peace. They even feel that this is the result of Emperor Lin Xi's new accession to the throne and the gods protecting Mengyang, and the awe of Emperor Lin Xi has been added in their hearts.

The common people are mediocre. They have the lowest status and the simplest life. They are ruled, and no one will be surprised if they die. But these people are the foundation of an empire, and this is the truth that water can carry boats or overturn boats. The common people were panicked, afraid and at a loss when they besieged the city. At this time, if a person stands up to lead people to defeat the strong enemy, this person will become all the faith in the hearts of the people, and he will be followed by thousands of people! And Emperor Lin Xi is such a person. At the most difficult time, he personally stood up with armor and sword, and left a majestic image in the hearts of ordinary people! And his noble royal bloodline makes people follow their faith even more.

Therefore, the unwitting people were still very satisfied with the excessiveness of Mengyang from Shenluo to Lin Xi. The imperial edict issued to Mengyang's civilians was that Emperor Shenluo was old and weak and died of illness, while the prince died of grief and excessive illness. The second prince was suspected of colluding with foreign enemies and was judicial The minister's judgment is correct. Law! After a burst of sigh, people were more fortunate that the prince and the second prince were gone. Fortunately, there was also the third prince's ability to turn the tide and save people from water and fire. In their hearts, they had more respect for Emperor Lin Xi's courage to stand up to support Mengyang against the grief of losing his father and brother.

This is the ruler standing at the highest point, guiding the direction of civilian emotions through public opinion, carrying out their own rule, and penetrating the civilian's respect for the royal family into the bone marrow! Emperor Lin Xi was successful, and for the two failed brothers, Wan Yi Changlong and Wan Yi Hongyun, who are the sons of Emperor Shenluo, the two losers who also have royal blood are buried in the distorted history, and no one can think of them anymore.

The "Shinra's Last Years Rebellion" has calmed down in this way, but the subsequent "Lin Xi's Blood Case" has just opened a bloody curtain.

The new emperor has firmly sat on the throne of the star falling hall, and the young emperors are still quietly sprouting and growing in the dark corners.

The capital of the night country, the city that does not sleep, the palace.

The mighty warrior guards the entrance of the palace, and the palace behind him is pure white and bright. Among so many palaces in Mengyang, the imperial palace is rich and gorgeous, with the innate sense of nobility of the royal family. The palace of the Night Country's Sleepless City is pure white and bright, like the first snow in winter, white spotless and white thrilling! Some people say that this palace was built by the ancestors of the Ye family 300 years ago for today's Queen Baiyan! The same pure beauty, the same otherwise dust.

Recently, the atmosphere in the palace has been very depressing. The eldest son of the general, Young Master Ye Yuanhong, died in the battlefield. After a month, no body was found. The general has given up and decided to hold a funeral for the prince in the form of a tomb. The palace maids in the palace are busy preparing for the funeral, and the general has been accompanying the little prince for the night stars these days after returning from Qiuyue, as if to make up for all the regrets for the eldest prince on the little prince, and spoil the little prince even more.

The general has been in military for a lifetime, and few times he can be with his family. Now that the chaos of the empire has calmed down, the general can also accompany his wife and children well, but the sadness in his heart will still suddenly gushe out, drowning him fiercely and causing a burst of sadness. When the general unloads his armor, it is like a sharp sword melting into a soft water. The heroism between his eyebrows becomes elegant, and his face is quiet and slightly sad - people who are used to life and death will always become peaceful and quiet in peace, with a faint sadness in their eyes, because they don't have to suppress their feelings like the battlefield. At this time, the warriors can really be called 'people'...

But no one wants to mention these sad things to the general. They care about the general's feelings. After all, the general is very gentle, arrogant, majestic and not fearful in the palace, so that people are more afraid of the general, but love him.

At this time, a ravaden man staggered to the gate of the Nightless City Palace, causing people around him to sigh. This is the palace of General Tian of Mengyang Town. How can General Zhentian's mansion be dressed like this to offend? You should know that many high-power imperial capital ministers have lined up in front of the palace with valuable gifts waiting to see the general, but this ragged man broke in easily, isn't he looking for death?

The two warriors looked at each other and took a step forward. The armored long gun in their hands pointed directly at the unkempt-faced figure and shouted in a low voice, "Who dares to break into the Night King's Palace?"

The gunman pointed straight at this unkempt. The heavy gunhead of the armor-breaking gun is like a poisonous snake. No one will think that these warriors will show mercy. If this man takes another step forward, the two warriors will definitely put the armor-breaking gun along his chest without hesitation.

But this man seemed to have not heard the samurai's shouting and still staggered away slowly. His head hung down and felt that his head was about to fall from his neck. He tangled into a bunch of messy hair drooped down and covered his face. He was very dirty, as if he hadn't taken a shower for many days, and there was a smell on his body. But it's not many days without the smell of dirty sweat. The warriors frowned. This smell can't be more familiar and disgusting to them who have been to the battlefield - it's the smell when the body rots.

The man still walked down to the palace step by step, ignoring the warriors with soldiers. The two guard warriors finally couldn't wait any longer. With a violent sound, the armor-breaking gun in their hands moved forward with the momentum of a poisonous dragon. But the man's head suddenly raised, and the hair hanging in front of him was suddenly thrown behind his head, revealing his face.

In an instant, the two warriors were stunned, but the gun that had been vigorously put out could not be stopped. 'poof', the sharp sound of flesh and blood, and there was no imaginary blood spewing out along the blood tank on the gun blade of the armored. Only a small black blood drop fell down, and this blood seemed to be more than normal. The blood is much thicker and drips on the pure white stone steps of the palace.

The warrior stared at the dirty face of the ragged man. Although it was full of dirt, they could still recognize how similar this heroic face was to the general, especially the dark, deep, flamboyant, young and energetic eyes. Although this person's eyes are a little dull and cloudy, there will never be anything wrong. There is no doubt that it is the eldest prince Ye Yuanhong.

The man finally opened his mouth. His voice was hoarse and low, as if his throat was torn open, and the wind leaked. There was a cold behind the listener, like a cold snake! I'm Ye Yuanhong..."

The warrior's brain was blank, and tens of thousands of warriors did not find the body of the eldest prince. Now the eldest prince is standing alive in front of them like this. Why don't they be shocked?

They held a broken armor gun in their hands and didn't know what was wrong. A warrior who reacted a little faster hurriedly said, "Don't move... I'm going to find a military doctor for you. Don't dare to move..." He knew the power of the armor-breaking gun. This heavy three-front long gun is a blood hole, and it can't be pulled out rashly. , just like the beetail arrow; if you take it out directly, the inverted blade on the spearhead will tear off the whole muscle!

But Ye Yuanhong hissed and said, "No, I'm going in..." With that, he held a gun barrel in one hand, exerted his arm force, and retreated his body - Shengsheng pulled out the heavy three spear heads. He left two fist-sized blood holes in his lower abdomen, and dark red blood gushed out, dripping a large pool on the ground, which was terrible.

The warrior was so stunned that he couldn't speak, and Mumu looked at Ye Yuanhong passing through them. Then they also ran in and shouted, "The major general is still alive. The major general is back. Inform the general quickly..."

This sound shook the whole court, because Ye Yuanhong's body had not been found for so long, and everyone still had a fluke in their hearts. However, the general did not tell them that Ye Yuanhong was beheaded and would definitely die. Now that Ye Yuanhong is back, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.

A large group of slaves greeted him, and many people saw this dirty figure and the two blood holes on his body covered their mouths and were speechless. Some timid maids turned around and dared not look again. People feel that this smell is a little suffocating, the smell of carrion...

"What a young general" "The young master is finally back..." "Go and ask for a doctor..." People said with tongues, and the water around them was not leaking.

"To get out of the way, the general is coming..."

People sideways to make way and bow to salute. The general in a white robe looked at him stunned and was speechless. The general didn't seem to believe his eyes. His dark eyes stared round, looking at Ye Yuanhong's equally dark eyes, and his lips trembling - is it really his worried son?

He looked down from the top, dirty but heroic face, tangled hair, and blood dripping wounds in his lower abdomen, everything was so unreal. Is this really his son? He stretched out his hand, several steps apart, as if he wanted to touch Ye Yuanhong's face...

Ye Yuanhong finally grinned and smiled, revealing his dark gums and white teeth, which was not like the sunny boy before, but like a dead body. The general suddenly wanted to pull out his sword and cut it down - it was too gloomy.

But Ye Yuanhong shouted hoarsely, "Father, I'm back..."

The general's heart softened. No matter what it is, it's good for his son to come back!

He walked over and held his child in his arms. Although the smell of rottenness was a little strong, the general still smiled. That's the feeling of ecstasy.

Above the crowd, the queen in a white robe is looking coldly at the father and son. The expression in Queen Baiyan's eyes was extremely complicated, and the expression on her face was deep and indifferent, but it did not affect her beautiful face. She muttered to herself, "It's a dead body, but there is a soul... It was forcibly summoned from the underworld? A soul-back master? ......”
