Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth, the king and the people, true freedom

That night, many of the residents living in the northern country dreamed of thunder.

But thunder is rare in winter, and it is not thunder. Some people were awakened by this strange movement and came to the bed curiously. Looking at the direction of the palace, they couldn't help but think in their hearts: What new tricks do these foolish and insane kings do tonight? Is it too loud to set off firecrackers?

At the same time, outside the North Country City, Roomhu Village.

Lu Luo saw that his father was snoring like thunder. After covering him with a quilt, he gently walked to the door, pushed open the door, and the cool breeze entered the house to blow out the embers of the brazier. Under the moonlight, in the courtyard, Chen Tunan, wearing a thick coat, looked at the direction of the royal city with a serious expression.

What he saw in his eyes, who was proficient in looking at the air, was naturally different from others. But under the night, a layer of twisted and rolling purple aura floated above the royal city in the distance, like clouds and lian, covering the entire royal city.

That's a demonic energy, a very strong demonic energy!

Lu Luo didn't see Chen Tunan's expression for a long time, so she stepped forward nervously and asked, "Senior Brother, what happened?"

"The royal city has such a great demonic aura. It must be that Tai Sui has appeared." Chen Tunan sighed.

Lu Luo's heart skipped a beat, and then he couldn't help asking again: "That Shisheng and the others..."

"It should be fine." Chen Tunan said: "They are no longer half-bad guys from that time, and from now on, the battle should be almost over."

Although Chen Tunan's tone was calm at the time, the careful Lu Luo still noticed that his hands were trembling slightly. He was worried about Shisheng and the others.

And the reason why Chen Tunan forced herself not to go. Lu Luo understood it. When she thought of this, she felt sad. Then she stepped forward and said to Chen Tunan, "Senior brother, why not go, I know your intention... I won't blame you."

"What stupid words are you saying?" Chen Tunan squeezed out a smile, then turned around, stopped watching the wind and breathing, came to Lu Luo, stretched out his hand and gently touched his little face. He said lightly: "I'm going to get married and say this. Don't worry, I won't leave you behind. I'm afraid I can't stay here. You'll be ready for some time. Let's go to another place to live a good life."

"But......" Lu Luo said sadly: "Senior Brother. I understand, I understand your character. If Shisheng and others do not have you, I am afraid."

Chen Tunan waved his hand, then said calmly: "I said they can do it, they have grown up. Moreover, what can I do if I go? I have been unfamiliar after letting go for so long. I am afraid that it will cause trouble for them if I go. In short... don't say it any longer. It's getting late, let's take a break."

After saying that, Chen Tunan patted Lu Luo's shoulder, turned around and walked towards his cold little earthen house. The moon was in the sky. Under the moonlight, beside the firewood pile in the corner of the yard, a stone sword covered with dust and blood was lying weakly there, which had already integrated into the surrounding countryside environment.

Chen Tunan's back looked a little tired. Lu Luo returned to the house without lighting the lamp. He sat on the bed with his knees in his arms, lowered his head, and felt mixed feelings. She hoped Chen Tunan would go, but she didn't want him to leave.

The surroundings were silent, and only occasionally I could hear the choking sound of Luluo's nose sound. The bright moon outside the window was still there. Under the same moonlight, the demon chaos in the royal city had come to an end.

"I'll pay ten thousand taels!!"

Seeing this guy who came out of nowhere killing those monsters in a few seconds, the Northern Kingdom monarch jumped up excitedly, and he stretched out his index finger to Shisheng, and then shouted happily: "I admire the real ability of a hero. I pay 10,000 taels!"

What?

Shisheng frowned, wondering if this old boy was scared to death and what nonsense?

At this time, Zhiquan was a little calmer. Although he was very tired from the wounds, he was no longer in the way. So Shisheng entrusted her to Xiaobai, then walked past the dead bodies of the two monsters, came to the king of the North, and said to him: "What ten thousand taels?"

The monarch of the Northern Kingdom praised: "My hero, you have made great contributions to saving the Lord. Although you don't know me, you still have a loyalty to protect the true dragon. It's really rare! So I really decided to reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, and also grant you a general to protect the country, so that you can't speak the title. How about it? I'm so excited that I can't speak? It doesn't matter, I understand, then, should you kneel down and thank the Lord for your kindness now?"

This grandson is indeed sick. He is not only a fool, but also a shameless and arrogant maniac.

Shisheng saw that the king was so angry that he said unhappy: "To be honest, I did see a real dragon, but it's not you."

"What?" The monarch of the North obviously didn't understand, and Shisheng didn't have time to cough with him. He saw his eyes rolling, and then he came up with a plan. So he said to the monarch of the North: "I mean, I don't want to be your general. If you are kind to the people in the future, you will be better than these monsters. Do you know how they appeared?"

The head of the monarch of the North Kingdom was like a rattle, so Shisheng scared him and said, "Let me tell you, these monsters are all hungry. The people in the city are too hungry. They want to eat. If they are not allowed to eat, these monsters will come out. Do you understand?"

"How is that possible?" the monarch of the North Kingdom exclaimed: "Can monsters be hungry?"

"Hungry Demon." Shisheng stared at him fiercely and said, "Have you heard it? Believe it or not, what's wrong with the world now? I'll leave it here for you. If the people in the city starve to death, the greater the chance of these monsters appearing. This time we passed by and rescued you, but how long do you think your soldiers can stop you next time? Do you understand? Talk!!"

"Ah, understand!!" The king of the North was indeed scared tonight. Because of his extreme fear, his mind was a little difficult to use. Seeing that the demon-subduing "master" said something with a nose and eyes, he really believed his nonsense. He nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, the hero, for my guidance. I understand. I will never let the people go hungry again in the future. For my palace. Well, for my country, thank you for the hero!"

"I don't need to thank you." Shisheng sighed, and then said, "Just give me the money you promised just now."

The monarch of the North was stunned at first, but after seeing Shisheng's cruel skills, how could he dare to refuse? Like those ministers, it was too late to curry favor with him? So he hurriedly said, "Yes, heroes, wait a moment, wait for me to ask the inner officials to withdraw cash for you. Do you need a carriage? Do you need an escort?"

"Forget it." Shisheng turned around and then said to the monarch of the North Kingdom: "Whether it is to exchange the money for food tomorrow or directly distribute it, it is all for the people in the city who need money. Don't cheat. If you don't do it, I will personally take care of you tomorrow night."

"No, no." The king of the North said hurriedly: "I did what I said. By the way, haven't you asked the hero Daming yet?"

"A northerner who should have died." After saying this, Shisheng came to the two girls, and supported the weak Chin with Xiaobai, and walked towards the direction of the palace gate without looking back.

The king of the North repeatedly pondered Shisheng's words, but found that he couldn't understand it at all. When the cool breeze blew, he felt his pants were frozen and his legs were weak. When the listless King Red Feather saw the three of them leaving again, he looked at the back of the piano that was getting farther and farther away, and he finally couldn't help saying, "Pieko..."

Zhiquan stiffened. However, he did not look back, but just smiled bitterly. Then, he was supported by the two of them and walked into the darkness. The Red Feather King grabbed his hair frantically with tears in his eyes. When the king saw it, he asked in wonder: "Red Feather King, do you really know them? That hero... Who is that beauty? Can you recommend it to me? I understand, is that woman yours......"

"She is my daughter, Li Zhiyuan." King Achieve finally told the truth, which was strange. After saying something that might have serious consequences, King Achieve only felt extremely relaxed all over his body, as if the airs pressed on his heart disappeared. Thinking of this, King Achieveve quickly stood up and said to the king: "Your Majesty, the old minister is leaving!"

"Where to go?" the king of the North Kingdom shouted in confusion: "Let's leave later, leave it to someone first, at least I have to get me a pair of pants............ Wait, kite? Didn't your daughter die long ago? Hello!"

While he was talking, the Red Feather King had already run away. Seeing that he was in a hurry, he didn't care about the King of Northern Kingdom that he had always been flattering. The King of Northern Kingdom shouted a few more times on the spot. Suddenly, a monster corpse next to him twitched, which scared him. After confirming that the monster was indeed dead, our King then breathed a sigh of relief and sneezed.

This has nothing to do with whether you pee or not. It's really cold in North China tonight.

It was already late at night, and the palace was messed up by the monsters. Shisheng carried a kite and led Xiaobaizan inside the palace. After a while, he stepped out of the palace wall. Outside the wall, Liu Bolun and the other two were waiting for them. It seemed that they were moving faster than Shisheng. The monsters in the inner courtyard of the palace had been eliminated by no means left.

But they were not very happy to win this battle, because fifteen days later, there was a decisive battle with Tai Sui waiting for them. Tai Sui's terrifying power showed its strength tonight. It was indeed a ability that could destroy the world. Now, with the three-person practice, what is the chance of winning that battle in fifteen days?

It is probably difficult, and now the last piece of the Three Treasures in the Troubled Times has not appeared for a long time. They have not had much time left. In these fifteen days, can they find the last treasure "Huanyuan Two Realms Pen"?

Anyway, let’s leave here first.

Now they have shown their faces in the palace. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the royal city cannot stay anymore. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter to them now, so everyone decided to pick up the Nankong and others first, build a wooden house outside the city, and then work harder.

Thinking of this, the reinforcements from the Zhengdao Alliance should be coming soon, and there are many things waiting for a few to do.

So after making up their minds, they turned around and left. They were walking on the long street of night, but every time, a fire suddenly burst into the sky on the palace wall behind them. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they looked at it. But they saw a bonfire lit on the high wall. A middle-aged man stood beside the fire, stretching his arms in their direction.

That's King Akatsuki!

What was he trying to do? Zhiquan leaned on Shisheng's shoulder and couldn't stop talking about his ears of surprise. She thought that her tears for her father had dried up just now, but when she heard the words of Akatsuki King, her eyes were still blurred by tears.

The Red Feather King burst into tears in the horrified eyes of the soldiers on the city tower, and shouted to the darkness in front of him: "Zhijia, my good daughter! Dad is wrong!!"

"Dad..." Zhiyuan finally heard the two words she wanted to hear, but was it a little late at this time?

No, it's not too late.

There were many soldiers on the city wall at that time, and they had never seen the appearance of the Red Feather King. Looking at the Red Feather King who was waving his arms with tears in his eyes. They couldn't help but think in their hearts: Could it be that the prince was stimulated by the monsters in the palace tonight? Was he crazy?

Although I thought so, no one dared to come forward to stop him, and the King of Red Feather shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dad is wrong! Dad knows you won't forgive me. Dad is a dereliction of duty! I finally understand that there are things in this world that are thousands of times more valuable than power! So, Dad doesn't want those powers! I don't ask you to forgive Dad, but Dad will wait for you! Remember my daughter! In this northern country, you still have a home!! If you are tired one day, go home!! Dad will use the rest of his life to compensate me for my mistakes! I hope you can give me this opportunity, my daughter, Dad is waiting for you!!"

With the wind, a word spread far away, and the kite was already crying. This result was something that everyone wanted to see. There was indeed no absolute darkness in this world.

So, a warm smile appeared on everyone's faces. Maybe this was the best gain tonight. Thinking of this, Shisheng whispered to the kite on his back: "How is it? Go back?"

"No." I saw Zhiquan laughing with tears: "This is enough. My trip is not over yet. I...really free."

From that moment on, the thread holding the kite is no longer a restraint.

Although Zhiquan was crying, her smile was happy, just as she and Xiaobai thought: her father was always a father, no matter what time.

"Are my father always a father?" Shisheng kept muttering this sentence in his heart on the way out of the city, because this was also one of his knots.

The night is long, but it will be beautiful at dawn. One night passes, and no one in the city knows what happened last night except the palace. However, they don’t need to know. Just last night, the palace was attacked by a group of monsters, four palaces were destroyed, and thirteen civil officials, twenty-nine military officers, four royal families, and two hundred and eleven guards were killed and injured.

Unexpectedly, the deaths of these people were suppressed as the secrets of the royal family. Although the king was unjust, the eyes of the royal officials were indeed bright, and the king's authority did not allow a trace of stain. Otherwise, the struggle for power would inevitably be in chaos. Therefore, after the surviving officials discussed overnight, they quickly took a series of countermeasures.

It is related to the stability of the regime, so everyone must keep their mouths well. Of course, the officials need not say much, and the guards are at the risk of losing their heads, and they can only think that what happened yesterday was just a dream.

This method of covering up the truth can only be considered an entry-level political method in the officialdom, but the effect is obvious and simple and crude, so many years later, it is still one of the magic weapons that officials will not get tired of playing.

After that night, King Chiyu asked to resign his official position in front of the king, and no longer asked about the power struggle in the court. No one could understand his choice, because he was as strong as the emperor at that time, and now he has achieved the goal of saving the emperor. Why did he choose to retreat forever at this time?

There are rumors within the royal family that he was frightened that night and went crazy. Many guards in the royal palace can also testify about this. Indeed, for the royal family, only madmen and fools should not pursue their full strength. However, madmen also have the happiness of madmen. From the beginning of leaving the court, King Achievement let go of many maids and servants in the mansion and asked them to go home to reunite with their parents. Then he demolished the garden in the mansion and replaced it with a very large vegetable field. So far, he lived a free life of reading in the rain.

It is really a strange story for the prince to grow vegetables. The old housekeeper who served him for many years couldn't help but ask. The prince's answer was: There is no reason, isn't this the case for ordinary people? I just want to be an ordinary father now. I will wait for the Chicken to come back in a few days and let her taste his father's skills. How good is it?

King Chiyu's first half of his life was half military and half chasing fame and fortune. Now he put down his shackles and picked up his hoe, just wanting to be an ordinary father quietly.

After all, before life and death, there were so many illusions that he owed his daughter.

After hearing what King Chiyu said, the old housekeeper could only secretly wipe his tears: It seems that this prince is indeed crazy. The lady has been dead for so many years, how can she come back?

But that's good. Although such days are dull, there is a smile on the prince's face. King Akatsuki is very patient with time. He believes that one day Zhiquan will return home and may bring him a daughter-in-law back. Well, that doesn't matter. As long as she can call him dad again, he will never hurt her heart again.

He believed that it would always come that day.

The palace was destroyed and the prince was crazy. This turmoil did cause heavy damage to the royal family, but it may not be a good thing for the people in the city. It was not too late to repair the collapsed palace. Early the next morning, the monarch of the northern country, who had put on new pants, rushed to remit 10,000 taels of silver from the national treasury, and then ordered the exclusive officials to open the warehouse and release grain, and scattered in the city for seven days.

The ministers looked at the white-faced king and wondered: Hey, where is this fool playing? Why did you suddenly change your sex?

How could they know that the king of the North was completely scared by Shisheng's words last night. He was extremely greedy for power, so he naturally didn't want to cause monsters to attack the city again, so he would rather believe it than be untrustful. It is correct to be careful, anyway, it is not a difficult thing to do. Let the people have enough food, although they seem to "don't like eating meat". Is it wrong to eat a full meal? Obviously not!

Although the luxurious life in the palace is about to end after the food is released, the king of the northern kingdom cares more about his life and death. He began to think in his mind: How can he let the people have enough food while having fun? Well, it seems that if you want to do this, in the beginning of spring next year, you will encourage everyone to burn the wasteland and farm, and then attract some caravans to come over, and then collect less corvee. When winter comes, won’t they have enough food? And they don’t need me to lock them up, so can I continue to have fun?

Good idea! The monarch of the northern country inadvertently came up with a way to enrich the country. Although it is simple, it can indeed avoid many tragedies. And to put it another question, because the king gave away silver and grain, the people were all very happy, and only felt that this king really cared for the people.

This is how the people are. If you treat him well, he will also treat you well. Therefore, although the king's plan of the "Half-Month Festival of the Palace" died, the people who felt he cared for spontaneously walked out of the door to celebrate the king's birthday. There were lights and colorful decorations on the long street, and everyone had smiles on their faces, which were even more lively than the New Year.

Although it is a bit simple, the red flowers on the street are indeed more festive than the palace. The king also feels so, so he, who likes the excitement, is more determined to his thoughts.

According to records left by historians, although this king reigned for less than twenty years, his actions were indelible. Especially in the middle and late period of his rule, the living standards of the people in the northern country were greatly improved. It is said that one winter, only twelve people in the city died of cold and starvation.

This is undoubtedly the best proof of a wise monarch. Although they don’t know that this wise monarch was actually scared, what can this happen? In the unofficial history of history, you just need to listen to many stories. Who has the leisure to investigate the content behind the unofficial history?

Of course, that is already something that will happen in the future, so let's not talk about it.

Let’s talk about the fact that the king with full confidence was looking down at the royal city, thinking in his heart how he could enjoy and let the people eat enough, the initiator of changing his fate in his future life, namely Shisheng and his group, had already left the royal city at this time.

According to the plan, Shisheng and his friends built several wooden houses in a forest not far from the royal city. The ability of several people to build a house was simply a matter of raising their hands. The light of Li Hanshan's spiritual craft emanated from time to time, three large wooden houses that took care of were already built. They ignited the fire to keep warm, and they carried the Niaokong into the house. The Niaokong fever did not subside, and the cold sweat spread on their heads, and they shouted from time to time: "Avenge, revenge, cannot sleep, revenge."

Many monks died in Yunlong Temple, but although Nankong saved his life, he was also disabled. It is still unknown whether he could stand up for the rest of his life. When he thought of this, the few people were sad and their beliefs became more firm. Shisheng held Nankong's hand and nodded to him in a coma and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely avenge you...... There are fourteen days left."

After fourteen days, will all the cause and effect be settled? Everyone hopes this way. After settling down, Shisheng and the other two did not stay. After a few words, they walked out of the wooden house and jumped up again. During these fourteen days, they had to make the final preparations to fight against Tai Sui.
