    Routine PS: Asking for monthly votes Chapter 869: Hope in the former enemy Dong Chu Ruyi City Dong Chu Palace was built on the mountainside. The huge palace building is quite different from the city construction in the Central Plains.  The biggest feature of the construction of Chang'an City is the city wall, which is so tall that people feel helpless and insurmountable.  There is nothing new in the construction of the city. It is planned like tofu blocks and looks a bit monotonous.  Walking down a few streets, you basically won¡¯t see much change.  The construction of Ruyi City was planned according to the mountain topography, and the most majestic one is the imperial palace.  This palace is very different from the palaces in the minds of the Central Plains people. The Taiji Palace in Chang'an City is a huge building complex, but it is also a series of palaces.  The imperial palace in Ruyi City is a whole castle, very tall.  Because Dong Chu was not short of money, the cost of building this palace was definitely not less than what the Sui emperor spent on building the Chang'an city wall.  Especially the palace of the Emperor of Eastern Chu was built in a very special way.  Although this palace is part of the castle, it is built according to a large protruding boulder on the mountainside. One side of the palace is open, and the side of the dormitory that is dozens of meters long has a folding partition door.  Just like a fan, you can close it by pulling it flat at night. When you push it open during the day, you can see the endless sea at the bottom of the mountain.  A platform was built outside the door, with a radius of more than 30 meters.  Standing on this platform, you can have a panoramic view of most of Ruyi City.  Looking into the distance, you can see the seascape with thousands of sails rising.  The bedroom is made of marble, and the interior decoration is particularly luxurious.  As the richest royal family in the world, they will naturally not be stingy with spending money to build the most beautiful and comfortable palace.  The Eastern Chu royal family originally had the surname Chu, which is a rare thing.  Since ancient times, few country names have been named after royal surnames.  Throughout the ages, only Dongchu and Nanchen have been like this.  Another thing these two countries have in common is that they have almost never won foreign wars.  "So comfortable" When Lyman walked out of the palace barefoot in a silk pajamas, he couldn't help but stretched his arms and groaned.  Two Opuru girls in milky white dresses slowly opened the folding door, and the refreshing sea breeze suddenly flowed into the palace, making everyone feel energetic.  Lyman walked barefoot on the marble floor to the platform, overlooking the sea.  "The emperor of Dong Chu is the most enjoyable person in the world." He smiled and waved, and the two Opulu girls came over immediately, cuddling up to him one on each side.  The sea breeze blew open his satin pajamas, and there seemed to be something special on his furry chest.  Lyman arranged his pajamas to cover the place that seemed to have a black birthmark as big as his palm.  "What is that?" One of the Opulu girls curiously raised her beautiful hand to touch that place, but was so frightened by Lyman's eyes that her hand froze in mid-step.  Lyman looked at her and said in a low but extremely cold voice: "There are no outsiders here, so I will let you go once Have you forgotten what I said? I will chop off the hands of anyone who touches this place.  "The Opuru girl was so frightened that she wanted to take her hand back but didn't dare. Her face turned pale in an instant.  She knew that every word of the great Emperor Lyman was unquestionable. In the Opuru Empire, Emperor Lyman's words were God's orders.  She also knew the cruelty of Emperor Lyman, and I'm afraid it's impossible to count how many people he killed.  This huge empire is completely in his own hands.  "Don't forget it next time." Lyman kissed the girl on the face and opened his arms as if to embrace the entire sea.  At this moment, several black things suddenly flew up from the cliff below the platform and clattered onto the platform.  Lyman's eyes changed and he motioned the two Opuru girls to return to the dormitory.  What flew up were several steel claws, which were fastened to the edge of the platform. Following closely, four or five assassins in black costumes quickly climbed up along the ropes of the flying claws.  This palace is built on the mountainside, while the sleeping hall is built on the side of the cliff. There is a cliff below the platform, and even great practitioners cannot climb up on foot.  Therefore, if you want to go up to the dormitory, you must rely on tools.  Obviously, these assassins came prepared.  Knowing that there will never be guards on this side of the cliff.  "Here we go again" Leman seemed a little impatient. He looked at the assassins in black and asked in the Dongchu language that he was already fluent in: "You have given up your dignity and fled. This is the only way to deal with the emperor."  Failed to save? If my country is destroyed, I will never let my loyal warriors use this kind of suicidal attack to do meaningless things. I will keep them and fight with me, preparing to do it again.  Rise up." There is no doubt that this is an absolute genius.  When he arrived in Mouping, he started to?Learning Chinese, when he arrived in Dongchu, he began to learn Dongchu dialect.  And it didn't take long for him to express his thoughts almost fluently, but his tongue was a little stiff, so it sounded a little strange.  "Yang Maozi, I want you to die today!" One of the assassins whispered, leaping up in the air, the long knife in his hand drew a sword-like light in mid-air, and then a sword energy several meters long struck.  It went down and hit Lyman's head.  This assassin has good cultivation, sharp sword aura, and extremely fast speed.  But just when the sword energy reached about two meters in front of Lyman, it suddenly disappeared.     Nothing at all.  It was as if there was a door to the void two meters away from Lyman's body. The sword energy got through the door and went to another world, disappearing completely without a trace.  The assassin was obviously stunned for a moment, and then struck out with a knife again. This time the sword was more powerful, and the energy of the knife almost materialized, coming in an instant.  But the sword energy disappeared again when it reached about two meters in front of Lyman, and Lyman still stood there lazily, without any reaction at all.  "How is this possible?!" The assassin exclaimed and looked at Lyman in disbelief.  "Let's do it together!" Four or five assassins shot at the same time, and the power of cultivation violently blasted at Lyman, but without exception, all the attacks disappeared without a trace two meters in front of Lyman.  No matter how those assassins tried, they didn't hurt Leman in the slightest.  "I am the son of the gods." Lyman opened his arms, looked at the assassins and said proudly: "The gods gave me a body that will never be killed. Even if you try your best, it will not work. The gods in the sky let me  I come to rule this world. This is God's will. No one can disobey it. If you are willing to surrender at my feet, I will spare your life. Stop being stubborn and tell me that you are willing to surrender." Several assassins looked at each other.  I don¡¯t even know what the reason for this is!  At this moment, countless guards rushed out of the palace, raising their muskets and aiming at the assassins.  "Let's go, this man is too evil! Come back and think of a countermeasure before killing him!" The leader of the assassin shouted, turned around to grab the rope and prepared to jump off.  One of the assassins stood in front of everyone, opened his hands, and then unleashed a powerful inner energy.  At this moment, the musket fired.  The assassin was clearly prepared to withstand musket fire.  The person behind the break has the strongest internal energy, so he stays to block the bullets.  Before they came here, they specially tested it. They used muskets to shoot at this person, but they were blocked by the internal force and could not hurt him at all.  So almost no one of them paid attention to the musketeers and turned to leave.  But at this moment something strange happened again.  With the sound of muskets, the assassins who stayed behind were beaten into pieces almost instantly.  Balls of blood mist exploded on him, and the bullets left blood holes one after another on his body.  And that majestic internal energy has no effect on bullets at all!  Those bullets easily passed through the wall made of internal energy, killing those behind!  The assassin¡¯s eyes were wide open after the break, looking at the musketeers in disbelief.  His body swayed a few times and then he slowly came down, unwilling to die.  As the muskets continued to spit out tongues of fire, the remaining assassins were knocked down unprepared, and the blood mist exploded. The practitioner's body and internal strength were unable to block those bullets.  The leader of the assassin was hit in the chest, blood flowed out from the wound and welled up his throat.  He lay on the ground and raised his head with difficulty to look at Lyman: "Thiswhy" Lyman seemed too lazy to look at these people anymore, and looked back at the guards: "Arrest all the guards guarding the mountain.  Get up, they are not worthy of wearing the guard uniforms I gave them, pull off their uniforms, and then throw them all into the sea to feed the sharks. If they can't find the sharks, feed them to the dogs." He turned around and walked back slowly.  Sleeping hall.  The guards stepped forward and dragged the dead bodies down.  Lyman walked into the dormitory and stood in front of the huge bronze mirror. He opened his pajamas, revealing a palm-sized black mark on his chest.  It was so black that it looked like a piece of dead flesh.  The difference is that instead of being dead, this black color exudes a very strange brilliance.  He reached out and picked up a gold cup from the table, drank all the wine in it, put his palm into it, and kneaded the wine cup into a golden pimple.  Looking at the muscles on his arms, Lyman couldn't help but laugh: "The change is really good."?¡­?¡­?¡­?Western part of Dongchu KingdomIn the countryside, there is a small village called Xiufeng. Deep in Xiufeng Mountain, it is an almost isolated place.  The people in this village are very simple and live a very simple life.  The villagers hunt in the mountains or grow food on small plots of land during the day, and go home to sleep as soon as it gets dark.  In Dongchu, which has such a strong commercial atmosphere, the existence of this small village seems so unusual.  However, it was precisely because of the existence of this small village that the Emperor of Chu State, Chu Juzheng, was able to avoid pursuit.  In fact, there are at least twenty such small villages in Chu. These villagers are not ordinary villagers, but refuges prepared by the Eastern Chu royal family to cope with the crisis that may come one day.  Generations of these villagers have lived in such a small village without caring about worldly affairs, just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor who will suddenly arrive one day.  Dongchu¡¯s business is so developed that it is well-informed.  Therefore, the emperor of Dong Chu had secretly prepared such a refuge in the country a long time ago without anyone knowing.  "Your Majesty I really didn't expect that I could wait for you." The village chief is an old man in his sixties, with sad eyes: "My ancestors and fathers did not wait for the emperor, and they were very happy when they left. But I have waited for you.  , There is only pain in my heart and no joy at all." Chu Juzheng smiled bitterly: "I also thought that I would never need you" "The border has been closed." Tan Wenyao, the leader of the guards, was angry.  Said: "I can't believe that the border guards would be bribed! These damn scum, sooner or later I will cut off their heads with my own hands!" "Of the twelve generals, nine of them surrendered without fighting, and the foreigners secretly did it  I didn't notice so many things. The trade exchanges with foreigners have become more and more frequent in recent years. I actually thought it was a good thing but I didn't expect that this was already planned by my subordinates. I am a failed emperor.  Most of his ministers have become ministers of others without even realizing it! " "Your Majesty trusts those people too much!" Tan Wenyao said: "Your Majesty handed over all matters related to foreign trade to the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister became a traitor!  "I have appointed the wrong person!" Chu Juzheng looked up to the sky and sighed: "Century-year foundation has been ruined in my hands. How can I have the face to meet my ancestors?" "Your Majesty" The village chief consoled: "As long as  As long as your Majesty is still alive, there is a chance. Although the border is closed, the road to the back mountain is only known to those of us guarding the mountain. Once we reach the back mountain, there is a narrow gap that crosses the entire mountain range and can be reached through a forest.  I saw the Phoenix Tower of the Sui Dynasty. "I can't believe it!" Chu Juzheng said sadly: "One day, I will go to the Sui people! And the only hope for the restoration of the country is also with the Sui people!"
