Seven hundred and twentieth chapters sleep
In early summer, the light rain is refreshing.
A large ship passed by on the channel leading to the Southern Wilderness. The boatman's shouts echoed between the cliffs on both sides of the bank. The water was clear and the mountains were high. There was an endless stream of ships coming and going. Flags were hung high on the mast of the big ship, and a folded letter was written on it.
On the second floor of the building, I had a rickety body and was coughing non-stop, my throat was wheezing and my spirit was very low.
"Ahem~ When will we arrive at Demon City?"
"Sir, the ship has passed Gushanji in Qutang Gorge and will arrive in another two hours."
People in the Central Plains are accustomed to calling Jiangcheng, the territory of snake demons, Demon City, which means the city of ten thousand demons. However, there are also many humans of various races in it, but they are too lazy to change the name because they are used to it. Moreover, calling it Demon City has a sense of mystery.
Zhe Changgong saw vitality and hope in the merchants and ships traveling through the Southern Wilderness Channel. Although the capital was more prosperous, the people's faces only had numbness and lifelessness, like a pool of stagnant water that could not be stirred.
According to rumors, Snake Demon City will undergo small reforms every few years and major changes every few decades.
The system is perfect, the laws are strict, but there is great freedom.
And this is what the powerful people in the Central Plains are most afraid of. The ruling class and many supporters are accustomed to the law of emotion, emotion comes first, and everything is decided based on emotion. Emotion is the rational basis. To put it bluntly, everything is decided by those with power.
The final say.
However, Demon City is completely the opposite. It encourages merchants to do business and provides convenience for them. It is also rumored that scholars do not receive any preferential treatment in Demon City and have to seek employment from merchants to support themselves.
All kinds of behavior are regarded as treacherous and unethical.
However, the actual situation is contrary to the conclusion of many elites, who believed that the demon city would surely fail because of this, but it became more prosperous.
The world is governed by emotions and laws, and the country is governed by the teachings of sages. Is it right or wrong?
Although Zhe Changgong is old, he is not stale because he has experienced too many things. When he was under house arrest, he thought about it every day. He felt that there were many good measures in Yaocheng but also many shortcomings, but he was always improving and perfecting, full of vitality.
"Sigh... Monsters are prosperous and human race is declining. What should we do..."
Years of fighting abroad have damaged my body, and my knees hurt from the river wind after standing for a while.
A sigh of confusion.
The Central Plains is once again in chaos, and the rebel bandits in the southwest are expanding rapidly. The reason is that the local powerful families have squeezed them too hard and the people are deeply resentful.
But there is also a rebellion in the north, and Zhe Changgong, who is leading the frontier army, is unable to do anything at all. Thinking of the ancient covenant, he might be able to use the demon soldiers.
However, the Demon Emperor was not seen. It was rumored that the Demon Emperor was sleeping and would not wake up until a few years or a hundred or two hundred years. Qiao Jin refused to send troops to the Central Plains and persuaded Chang Qiang to lead the remaining elites in the world-destroying battle to choose a place to protect themselves.
The old man had no choice but to leave the demon city...
Half a year later.
Qiao Jin held the information and sighed.
Old man Zhe was still too stubborn. He chopped off the heads of the noble men in the fortress and there was no way out. Especially when the capital was besieged and all the emperor and officials fled, the two old men were left alone. Everyone was fooling around together. Suddenly, if you are serious, what will happen to the rest of the people in the future?
Play? The emperor and the powerful families decided to get rid of him tacitly.
However, things are unpredictable, and good luck encounters rebellions everywhere. Although the children of aristocratic families are highly educated and familiar with the art of war, the art of war is not omnipotent, and what is needed is bravery and fearlessness.
After many years of peace, there was no bloody courage left. He was beaten to pieces by the rebels and his head was sent back to the capital. Unfortunately, the old man, who was aging, was raised again to lead the border troops to put down the rebellion.
A veteran general who is not afraid of death leads a group of border troops who are not afraid of death and fights everywhere.
The 40,000 elite frontier troops often defeated twice or even ten times the rebel army, and the enemy was frightened by the news.
The intelligence listed the old man's achievements in detail, and the rebels were quickly destroyed like chickens and dogs. However, you can never understand the royal family and many powerful people with a normal mind. The fear that the old man's self-respect will become another worry, in the battle against the last one
During the rebellion, they cut off the logistical supplies of food and fodder in order to weaken the rebel forces.
The rebels seized the opportunity and surrounded 40,000 hungry and exhausted elite border troops by the river, with no way to retreat.
One hundred thousand imperial reinforcements were watching from the sidelines. They watched the border soldiers fight with the rebels for two days and two nights. No one surrendered. They ate the enemy's flesh and blood to replenish their strength and fought bravely. It was as cruel as hell. In the end, there was no food and no reinforcements outside.
They ran out of arrows and were defeated, and they fought madly until dawn...
Blood dyed the river red, and corpses blocked the river!
The bloody morning glow illuminated the earth, and nearly all the 40,000 border troops were wiped out, while the rebels also suffered heavy losses.
Seeing the tragic situation, the weak and weak officials commanding the imperial army of 100,000 people were so frightened that they vomited their breakfast and hurriedly ordered to break camp and escape. The rebels took advantage of the situation and followed and defeated the 100,000 army. After this battle, the rebels gained momentum.
However, Zhe Changgong was sent across the river by more than 3,000 of his subordinates, shouting that the court was pedantic and immoral. He was heartbroken that the elite frontier soldiers died tragically. He was so sad that his eyes were bleeding and he was blinded by tears.
He resolutely abandoned his official position and rushed to the north to find the remaining more than 100,000 elite border troops. He shouted loudly for the support of the soldiers, occupied several states and angrily raised the flag to rebel and become the emperor...
The eyes are blind, but some people are blind even though they can see things and their souls.
Bai Yujun wakes up.
Secretly sent two demon commanders to the north to protect old man Zhe from being assassinated. They printed and distributed the encounter of Zhe Changgong into a newspaper, and then stopped paying attention to the Central Plains. The iron ball went south and had already opened up the southern border and reached the southern sea. The Chimang people either surrendered or surrendered.
To escape, several large fortresses were built along the waterway to garrison troops, but Bai Yujun did not intend to enter the sea at this time.
When a dragon enters the sea, it has to walk through large rivers, which is commonly known as walking on the dragon.
When the opportunity is ripe, on a thunderstorm night, we go down the river to the sea. The road to walk the flood dragons is full of dangers. The wind and rain are strong, lightning and thunder cause floods, and the people are afraid. They hang swords under the ancient bridge to stop the flood dragons from walking. It is unclear who can tell.
Right and who is wrong.
Bai Yujun had a mysterious feeling, and he had to do it when he transformed into a dragon. He carried the flood water along the largest river and dropped it into the sea, and then leaped over the dragon gate to become a real dragon.
Of course, it is inevitable that fields will be flooded and houses destroyed, and sometimes the floods are too great to control.
In fact, it is more purely due to human fear. Whenever there is any natural disaster or flood, they will think that the dragon is doing evil. Bai Yujun said that he is very innocent...
There is no need to ask for a canonization from the human race. He is offered in the Dragon King Temple, offers incense and kowtows, and is conferred by two prosperous dynasties, which saves a lot of trouble.
In fact, Fengzheng also has an impact on people. If you see a giant dragon and say it is a snake, you will offend the giant dragon.
If you call it a dragon, the giant dragon will be grateful, and your luck will become better. Getting rich is not difficult, and your luck will not be damaged. If you call it a snake, you will be retaliated. If you call it a dragon, you will damage yourself.
Luck, this is a bit unlucky, not to mention not everyone is lucky enough to see a dragon with his own eyes.
Many people who are said to have seen the giant snake and been enshrined have been blessed with good luck.
Flowers and trees are in full bloom on the cliffs on both sides of the deep pool in the tiankeng. Purple vines are like curtains. Colorful butterflies flutter and birds chirp. The mountain is even more secluded. Huge beasts lurk in the clear pool water, and occasionally half of a dragon's head is exposed to breathe.
The dragon turned over, causing ripples in the water, and continued to sleep...
