Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It's been three years.

    Huizhou Hou Yuexi leaned on the back of his chair. Physical and mental exhaustion forced him to close his eyes and rest for a while.

    A long time ago, the Emperor of Heaven created this world and established twelve countries on this continent above the virtual sea - Qingdong Kingdom, Fanxi Kingdom, Zuonan Kingdom, Liubei Kingdom, Yanzhou Kingdom, Gongzhou Kingdom, and Caizhou Kingdom  , Qiaozhou Kingdom, Daiji Kingdom, Lianji Kingdom, Shunji Kingdom, and Fangji Kingdom.

    Due to the rules set by the Emperor of Heaven, countries are not allowed to interfere in each other's internal affairs, let alone send troops to attack, otherwise they will receive the most terrible punishment from heaven. Therefore, thousands of years have passed, even if there are occasional rebellions and uprisings within some countries, ten  The pattern of the two countries remains unchanged.

    The former king of Fangji Kingdom, Zhongta, was a tyrant, no matter who he was, anyone could say so.  The country is governed by laws that are too strict, and any violation by the people is a capital offense.  There was no mercy or forgiveness. During the more than 20 years of rule, 600,000 people were executed. Among them were children who were so hungry that they just stole a piece of bread, and farmers who were only half an hour late from work because of serious illness.  Any little thing can lead to death.

    After living in fear for more than twenty years, too many people had their wives and children separated and their families destroyed because of the king's order. The people finally reached the limit of their patience, so the uprising broke out.  The rebel army was led by Hou Yuexi of Huizhou. Even though the king's position was appointed by the Emperor of Heaven, when the people's lives became extremely difficult, the king's identity lost any deterrence. With one call and hundreds of responses, the prefectural divisions of the eight states raised the flag of rebellion together. In just one week,  At that time, the rebel army entered the Eagle Palace.  Then, Yue Xi personally cut off the head of Peak King Zhongta and buried the Peak King's regime!

    After the previous king was killed, it was time to establish a new regime and the new king ascended the throne.  But Yuexi, who was supposed to sit on the throne, unexpectedly refused.

    "I don't regret killing the late king. Even if I had to choose again now, I would still do the same thing. But no matter what excuse I use to whitewash it, this is always a treasonous act. What qualifications do I have to be on the list of guilty people?  On the throne?"

    In order to allow the country, which had been ruined by the previous King Feng, to recuperate and recuperate, Yuexi took on the responsibility and worked hard for three years, but he still refused to accept the throne - even though no one from the court to the common people had any objections to his ascension to the throne.  .

    "I am already guilty. After the new king ascends the throne, I will definitely accept the punishment I deserve."

    Yue Xi always blocked everyone who tried to persuade him to ascend the throne.  This is indeed what he is thinking, but what has really worried him for a long time is not his sin itself, but that it has been three years since the death of Feng King, but Pengshan has not given birth to a new unicorn, and there is no sign of a new king.  sign.

    "My lord, there are more and more monsters in the country. In the past few days, there are even traces of monsters on the streets of Pusu (the capital)" Xiaoyong, Tsukasa, said worriedly.

    Tsukasa is the leader of the six officials, and his status is only lower than that of the king and the emperor. It stands to reason that after the death of the previous king and before the new king ascends the throne, Tsukasa is the first person to govern the country. However, Yuexi's prestige in this Fang Kingdom is absolutely not the same.  Others can compare, even Tsukasa himself is equally willing to help.  In fact, Xiao Yong became the chief of the tomb after the death of King Feng. It was precisely because everyone thought that Yuexi would become the king that Xiaoyong took over as the chief of the tomb, but Yuexi gave up the throne.

    Yuexi nodded to indicate that he had heard it, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

    The emergence of monsters is an inevitable phenomenon after the country loses its king. The monsters will not disappear until the new king ascends the throne.  However, the king who ascends the throne must be the real king who has been appointed by the Emperor of Heaven and confirmed by Taifu. Yuexi cannot replace this, which is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to ascend the throne.

    As long as these monsters do not disappear, people will always live in fear, and living and working in peace and contentment will become empty talk.

    "We, as well as many officials who were still in the Falcon Palace at this time, worked together to defeat His Majesty the Peak King Zhongta, and we all became treacherous ministers who bear the crime of treason. But I have no regrets from beginning to end, and I believe you, Lord Huihou, too  Same. Because we are not motivated by greed or personal grudges, but because Zhong Ta has made the country unsustainable. He cannot continue to sit on this throne no matter what. It is for this reason that Master Huihou openly risked the world.  It¡¯s great to become the leader of the rebel alliance, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Yuexi raised her head from the memorial, glanced at Tsukasa, but quickly looked away as if to escape, and buried her face behind the memorial again.  Tsukasa sighed helplessly. Such conversations had happened too many times in the past three years, but Yuexi always avoided talking about them.

    When Pengshan Gong (Qilin) ??appears and chooses a new king to ascend the throne, the country will become better. Yuexi always avoids it with this reason, but for three years, Pengshangong who belongs to Fang Kingdom has never appeared.  Could this be Heaven's punishment for Fangji Country?  To punish them for arrogating on behalf of God and killing the king recognized by the Emperor of Heaven?  NoneHowever, they can no longer wait. Without the king, laws cannot be made or abolished. Even if the king of peaks dies, those laws that cause the people pain will still exist.

    This time Tsukasa didn¡¯t want to endure Yue Xi¡¯s silence anymore, he patted the handrail and stood up.  It was completely different from his usual tolerant look, and he looked menacing.

    "A country cannot live without a king! Since you took away their king from the people back then, even if Master Huihou is a fake, you still have an obligation to be responsible to the people! Even if you want to atone, it must be done after the real new king ascends the throne.  , you and I, neither of us will escape our sins and are willing to suffer any punishment, but before that, please govern our country!"

    Yuexi still didn¡¯t respond. Tsukasa was impatient and was about to say more, but saw him make a silent gesture.  Yue Xi was reading a memorial from Zhen Zhen. Xiao Yong originally thought that his seriousness was deliberately fake in order to talk to him perfunctorily, but now it seems that it is not the case.

    "Did something big happen?" Xiao Yong read the report from the opposite side, and could only tell from the surface that it looked like a rural newspaper.

    Matters in a township are decided by the township chief. If he cannot make a decision, he reports it to the county magistrate. The next level up is the Zhouhou. Since this township report is sent to the government, it means that it has been submitted through the township, county, and state levels.  , what is the important matter that even those officials cannot decide?

    "Someone saw a unicorn at the beach."

    Yue Xi seemed to have just muttered a brief sentence, but Xiao Yong heard it.  His eyes widened, and his heart beat hard as he would never be sick again after becoming an immortal.  For a moment, I couldn't believe whether what I understood was what Huihou wanted to express.

    "By the sea, you mean, on the border of our country?"

    Of course, Fang Country is located in the northwest corner of the Twelve Kingdoms and does not border any country. If you want to leave the country, you must cross the sea, so if someone witnesses the unicorn, it will definitely not be outside the country.

    "Could it be mistaken with other monsters?" Although he had been looking forward to the arrival of the hero from Fangguo, Xiaoyong couldn't believe it when he suddenly got such news, "There has been no news from Pengshan in the past two years.  Here comes the news of the birth of a celebrity."

    "That may be the case. The witness was a Zhu Min (undocumented wanderer). He has never seen Peng Shanggong. It is not surprising that he saw it wrong. However, because the news was too important, the villagers reported it one by one.  Government."

    Thinking about the figure who really belongs to Fang Country, if a new king is elected, even if the king is not wise enough, at least the demons that plague Fang Country will disappear, and Fang Country will also be protected by heaven.  It's just that this is too abrupt after all. Even the report itself is suddenly surprising. How much credibility can it have?

    "No matter what, I want to go and take a look for myself." Yue Xi said this. He closed the report, and his aura no longer showed the dejection he had just now.

    "Lord Huihou, I'm afraid this is too big a fuss. It's just a confession from a Zhuhuang citizen. Do you want to leave the Eagle Palace at this time?" Ruona really confirmed that Qilin appeared, but it was just a confession from a Zhuhuang citizen.  How credible, and of course there is no reason for Yue Xi to go there in person.  In Xiao Yong's view, this is more like an excuse for Yue Xi to escape from the Eagle Palace.

    "Why can't I leave the Eagle Palace? Xiaoyong, you are the tomb master of this country, and I am just a state marquis from the beginning to the end. Since someone in our Huizhou has met Qilin, why do I, as a Huizhou marquis, have no right to go  Ask in person?"

    The twelve countries are divided into four major countries, four continents and four poles. Fangji is one of the four poles because its territory is located in the extreme west and north of this world, and it is a country surrounded by sea.

    A country without a king cannot be protected by heaven, and the consequences of losing the protection of heaven are continuous natural disasters and rampant demons.  After the death of the previous king three years ago, Fang Kingdom gradually began to be invaded by demons. The demons came from the Xuhai, so the coastal cities were always the most vulnerable.

    It was almost dusk, but the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard on the country road, mixed with the creak of old wheels rolling.

    This is a team. Calling it a militia would be an overstatement. It is just a convoy formed voluntarily by the villagers to resist the demons.  There were only a dozen or so people in the group. They didn't have any armor on their bodies, and the weapons in their hands were only some sticks. Only the young man at the head was holding a long bow.

    The thing that made the sound of wheels was a two-wheeled cart, and the cart contained grain borrowed from neighboring villages. This is also the reason why this team appeared here.  And now, in addition to the food, there was a wounded man lying in the car. The skin and flesh of his thigh had been severely torn open, and the wound had turned white due to excessive bleeding.

    Everyone knows that blood will attract demons, but no one proposed to give up the wounded man because they were from the same hometown.  In a small village, fellow villagers are no different from relatives.

      Not long ago, they encountered a monster. If it was just a 'bug (a relatively harmless and weak monster)', they could handle it, but this time it was an adult 'Sour Yo', a giant four-winged monster.  The snake is more than four meters long, and it is a very scary type even among monsters.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If one can survive an attack in a village depending on the terrain, it would be extremely terrifying to be suddenly attacked in this wilderness.  Even if you resist desperately, you will only cut off one of the opponent's wings, and the cost will be a serious injury to a companion.

    At this time, the grass in front moved.

    "Be careful, there is movement ahead!"

    "Damn it, are you chasing me again?"

    The villagers, who were already nervous, stopped in a hurry and were on guard with wooden sticks.  The weeds, which were as tall as a person, parted. To everyone's surprise, amidst everyone's alertness, two children walked out of the grass.  Neither the boy nor the girl were dressed like ordinary villagers, and they looked even more delicate, like two porcelain dolls.  The boy's shoulder-length hair is as red as fire, while the girl's waist-length hair is as silver as snow.

    "Where did the children come from?" After a round of alert and no demon was found, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, but it was unusual to encounter such two weird children in a place like this.

    "I'm sorry, we don't know where this is. We were at the beach when we woke up."

    "Are you mountain visitors?" The villagers were surprised.

    The Twelve Kingdoms are countries in the virtual sea, but occasionally people from the outside are involved due to 'eclipse'. Those who come from Penglai (Japan) in the south are called Haike, and those who come from Kunlun (China) in the north are called  Known as a mountain guest.  Fang Country, which is located in the far north of the Twelve Kingdoms, often has rumors of mountain visitors, but it is not common after all.

    People in many countries do not welcome sea travelers and mountain travelers, believing that they bring about eclipses and are a sign of evil spirits. Some countries even enact laws to arrest sea travelers and mountain travelers.  But there is no such law in Fang Country, and two young children always make people sympathetic.

    "Little devil, come back to the village with us. Fang Country is not peaceful now. If you stay out at night, aren't you giving snacks to the monsters?"

    The two children did not answer. The silver-haired girl cast her gaze on the cart, "Excuse me, is anyone injured? Let me take a look and maybe I can treat it."

    "Hey, kid girl, do you know the art of Qi Huang?"
