.Section 491: New and old replacement

Facing Xiao Fengzhen and others who surrounded him, Xiao Ziqiang smiled miserably, and he understood that he had lost.

Just now, when the second prince Xiao Keshuang escaped at the battle, although Xiao Ziqiang was still in the army, Xiao Keshuang's departure still had a certain impact on the morale of the royal army.

As the saying goes, a showdown between experts, any mistake can become the reason for defeat. Xiao Fengzhen's army and Xiao Ziqiang's army are like two masters who have entered a critical moment at this time. Anyone who relaxes a little bit, then it is very likely that what greets him is failure.

Xiao Fengzhen seized the opportunity of winning and losing this time and attacked decisively. He led the team to surround all senior generals, including Xiao Ziqiang, in his own troops. Although the royal army, which had lost its command, tried hard to rescue Xiao Ziqiang and others from the encirclement, the opportunity was lost. How could Xiao Fengzhen, who knew that he had caught many big fish this time, get them to what they want.

As the eldest prince Xiao Ke penetrated the heart with the arrow of the crossbowman who was transferred by Xiao Fengzhen, some people in the royal army finally began to surrender, and the number of people who continued to resist was increasing.

Xiao Ziqiang hugged the body of his eldest son Xiao Keyong who died in front of him to protect him, and suddenly said to Xiao Fengzhen who approached, "Feng Zhen, let's have a drink together."

"..." Xiao Fengzhen looked at Xiao Ziqiang and whispered to his personal soldiers, "Get wine."

...

After receiving the wine handed over by his personal soldiers, Xiao Fengzhen ordered: "Go and tell the military advisor that those who surrender will not die."

"Yes." The personal soldiers left.

Xiao Fengzhen walked to Xiao Ziqiang's front and sat down, and threw it to Xiao Ziqiang who was sitting on the ground. Xiao Fengzhen took the wine bag, opened it, and took a sip, then said with some emotion: "How long has it been since we drank like we are now?"

"Five years." Xiao Fengzhen replied in a low voice.

"Five years? I didn't expect that five years would pass in a flash. You also went from a countryside bun to the winner of the throne war... To be honest, I really regret knowing you."

"..." Xiao Fengzhen continued to drink without any trouble.

Xiao Ziqiang seemed to have no intention of letting Xiao Fengzhen reply and continued to say complacently: "If I hadn't recognized you and continued to let you live among the people, I wouldn't have suffered the disaster today. Speaking of which, I really got it myself."

"...If you hadn't been struggling with each other, I wouldn't have chosen to take this path." Xiao Fengzhen whispered.

"Because I'm scared. You are so good. I'm worried that you will bully my children after I die."

"…They are your children, aren't me?"

“It’s different.”

“What’s the difference”

"..." Xiao Ziqiang remained silent.

"Because one is the heir and the other is the son of Si. Is it right?" Xiao Fengzhen asked coldly.

"...I won't talk about this anymore. Anyway, you have won. Except for Xiao Keshuang who escaped, the other two of my children have died in this war on the throne."

“…”

“…”

The two fell into silence again.

It was not until most of the wine in the wine bag was drunk that Xiao Ziqiang spoke to Xiao Fengzhen: "You have won this battle, but it is too early to say that you have won the throne war. The final procedure for completing the throne war is to obtain the yu seal used by previous emperors. If I don't tell you where the yu seal is hidden, you will not be able to find it even if you find it."

"...Speak your conditions. But don't say anything like letting you go. I still understand the principle of eliminating the roots." Xiao Ziqiang asked in a deep voice. After talking for a long time, Xiao Ziqiang finally reached the point.

"I never thought of letting you let me go. Now that my country has been taken away by you, my son is almost dead. I no longer care about living." Xiao Ziqiang shook his head slightly and said.

"What are your conditions?"

"...My two sons are dead, and I am not interested in living. But my second son is still living in the world. I am extremely disappointed with that rebellious son, so I want you to give him a message, saying that my brother and younger brother are too lonely on the road to the underworld. Please send him to reunite with our family."

"……Why?"

"Because... I hate it. If it weren't for his escape in the battle, who would have laughed to the end today is still between the two."

“…It’s because of this?”

“Isn’t it enough?”

"...I understand, I will fulfill your last wish."

"...Thank you." Xiao Ziqiang said thank you, drank the last sip of wine from his wine bag, reached out and took out a piece of cloth bag wrapped in bright yellow brocade from his arms, threw it to Xiao Fengzhen and said, "Take it. Remember, you are already the emperor of the True Demon Empire, I hope you can make the True Demon Empire continue to grow."

"I will work hard." Xiao Fengzhen took the package, put it in his arms, and drank the wine bag for the last breath, threw it away, and got up and left. When he turned around and didn't take five steps, he heard a "thump" sound from behind. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Ziqiang commit suicide and his body fell beside Xiao Keyong.

"Buried them in the imperial cemetery of all generations. At the same time, the entire army was notified that the war on the throne would end and the royal army immediately put down their weapons and surrender, otherwise they would be killed without any consequences."

When the news spread, there was a burst of cheers from the army immediately. It was finally over. Changda's half a year of battle finally ended. Everyone was very glad that they were still alive.

The news that the war on the throne of the True Demon Empire attracted the attention of all forces on the continent at the first time, including the seven princes of the Aolong Empire who were fighting happily in the civil war.

After Ye Kaihuai, who was far away in Feng Yang, learned the news, he immediately called Long Xingyun, who was ordered to inspect Feng Yang, and sent someone to send a letter to Northend, who was in the Jingling Empire, to ask him to seize the time to get Yun Nishang in order to start his external actions.

Ye Kaihuai's intention was very obvious. He took advantage of the opportunity that the True Demon Empire had no time to take care of others and sent troops to Ao Long to complete the last task that his grandfather Long Zhan sent to him before his death. He wanted to fulfill his last wish when his grandfather Long Zhan was alive.

As the lord of Feng Yangling, Ye Kaihuai's every move is always attracting attention from others. The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Feng Yangling made Long Shouxin, who was next to Feng Yangling, feel nervous. Because around Feng Yangling, the Orc Alliance and the Tianyu Empire have been defeated by Feng Yangling, while the Jing Ling Empire maintains friendly relations with Feng Yangling. In addition to the deep blue empire far away on the sea, there is only the hard bone of the Aolong Empire. At present, the soldiers and horses of Feng Yangling have undergone large-scale mobilization, and a discerning person can see at a glance who Ye Kaihuai wants to deal with.

For a time, the seven emperors who proclaimed themselves in the Aolong Empire were all uneasy and sent envoys to Feng Yangling to find out the news. The most active one was Long Shouxin, because it was closest to Feng Yangling, once Feng Yangling sent troops, he was the first to be unlucky.

In Feng Yangling, he did not agree with Ye Kaihuai's suggestion. The former imperial ministers led by Zou Man unanimously opposed it, believing that it was contrary to the lunar reason to conquer his uncle as a nephew. However, Ye Kaihuai sneered at this view. Ye Kaihuai did not trust Zou Man and others, but these people were old and lacked in enterprising spirit. They were mainly stable all day long, that is, they did not show up the rabbits. However, at this time, their hands were fast and their hands were slow, and they always waited again and again. When the dust settled, the yellow vegetables were cold.

However, Ye Kaihuai's idea was obviously not enough to wait for Zou Man and others to understand. Old men in their fifties and sixties ran to the lord's mansion on time every day and persuaded Ye Kaihuai to dispel the military plan. He annoyed Ye Kaihuai. Faced with these old men, Ye Kaihuai could not beat or scold him, and could not hide, so he could only endure the sound attacks of the old guys. This situation continued until Long Xingyun rushed back and improved.

"Xingyun, you're back. I've been bullied by those old guys these days." Ye Kaihuai looked at Long Xingyun with the eyes of the people's army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, which made Long Xingyun unable to help but have a cold war, and goose bumps on his arms instantly got up.

"Hey, if you have something to say, don't look at me with such disgusting eyes?" Long Xingyun rubbed his arms and shouted dissatisfied with Ye Kaihuai.

"As long as you find a way to help me with those annoying old guys, I won't look at you with such disgusting eyes."

"You can't think of a way yourself." Long Xingyun said dissatisfiedly. Who doesn't know that those old guys are very annoying. Long Xingyun doesn't want to provoke them unless it is absolutely necessary.

"There's no choice. My grandfather and parents have a good relationship with those old guys. If I find a way to deal with those old guys, I will definitely offend my grandfather and my parents. You also know that my grandfather and my parents don't agree with my plan to send troops this time. If they find an excuse..."

"Oh, as you are so anxious to ask me to come back, it's just a culprit for you." Long Xingyun said unhappily.

"Oh, don't say so badly. Why would I want you to take the blame for me? But for now, you are the most suitable candidate."

"You don't pick up something nice to say, I won't do it."

"Dare? If you don't want your two ladies to know who took the first night of Taohong a few days ago, you will cooperate with me."

"...You are so dangerous. You started to put a trap for me a month ago."

"Hehe... It has always been my advantage to prepare for the future." Ye Kaihuai said modestly.

"I'm a pussy"

"Stop talking nonsense. Today you have to agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. I can tell you that your xiǎo peach blossoms already have your bones."

"What did you say?" Long Xingyun was stunned, then grabbed Ye Kaihuai's shoulder and asked.

"Hehe..." Ye Kaihuai smiled without saying a word.

"...Okay, okay. I promise you. But before I promise you, you must explain what you just said to me." Long Xingyun grabbed his head in distress and said.

"What's the point of explaining this? It's just that after you got into the ox of the peach blossom, the nv human beads were secretly woven and pregnant with your bones."

"Why are you so sure it's my bone rou?"

"Nonsense. How can I not know? That xiǎo Taohong was originally a Qing Gun. You picked her brand that night. After you picked her brand, I ordered someone to redeem her. No one has touched her again. Now she has been diagnosed with pregnancy. Who else can it be if it is not yours?" Ye Kaihuai rolled his eyes and replied.

"Well... would you redeem me for money?" Long Xingyun looked at Ye Kaihuai with a suspicion.

"Of course, I'm a good person."

...

Under Long Xingyun's righteous eyes, Ye Kaihuai was honest in his original intention of doing this, "Okay, okay, I admit that he redeemed her because you have always been obsessed with her, and secondly, I want to see what your two wives will end up after you know that you have raised someone outside without hiding them."

"…You are so evil."

"hey-hey……"

Three days later, when Zou Man brought a group of subordinates to the lord's mansion again, they were greeted by Long Xingyun, who was ready to take the blame.

At the entrance of the Lord's Mansion, Zou Man stepped into the Lord's Mansion, and Long Xingyun also walked out of the Lord's Mansion. When the two of them were wrong, a miracle suddenly happened. When Long Xingyun screamed, he flew out, hit the pillar heavily, fainted.

As Zou Man came, everyone was stunned. No one expected that Zou Man was still a peerless master who was hidden. He just touched him gently and flew out.

"Old Zou, you're so skillful." Someone praised Zou Man. Zou Man was so amused and crying when he heard this. What is this? Can you still not know what he has? Long Xingyun was obviously instructed by someone.

Just as Zou Man expected, Long Xingyun had just finished screaming, and Ye Kaihuai, who was ambushing beside him, suddenly jumped out, hugged Long Xingyun and shouted in a hurry: "Xingyun, what's wrong with you? Who did it? Are you guards having a good meal? You even watched my military advisor led by Feng Yang were injured."

The guards who guarded Mén felt very wronged. They did not expect Long Xingyun's body to become weak. They could not stand the touch of an old man in his sixties.

"Hey, just say a few words. Go to the next stage quickly. Don't you know if the person pretending to be injured is tiring?" Long Xingyun said to Ye Kaihuai with a xiǎo sound as he blocked other people's sight.

"Shut up, have you forgotten that you are in a daze now?" Ye Kaihuai said quickly.

In order to prevent Long Xingyun from getting out of trouble, Ye Kaihuai quickly ordered the guards at the mouth and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and find the doctor quickly. Come and help carry the military advisor back to the room, be careful."

"yes."

"Lord." Zou Man shouted at Ye Kaihuai, who turned around and wanted to leave.

"Mr. Zou, there is no need to explain. I know you didn't mean it, I won't blame you. And I believe the military advisor will not blame you either. You don't need to feel guilty about this."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Lord. But this is not what I want to say."

"It's not this? Is it a compensation issue? No, Mr. Zou, actually, I know you are not rich now, and my Lord's Mansion is not short of that little money, so you don't have to pay the military advisor. I will cover all the costs of treating the military advisors." Ye Kaihuai interrupted Zou Man and said.

"Lord... can you listen to me finish your words?"
