Chapter 113: Soul-killing Technique Rising from the Northwest
"The demons have just shown their heads, but I didn't expect that the leaders of other tribes would also start to stir... Last night I received more than dozens of night scrolls, all of which expressed their intention to resist the war." Liunian frowned.
"The general trend of the world is that things that are together for a long time will eventually divide, and things that are divided for a long time will eventually come together. This is also reasonable. Thanks to Ye'er's wisdom and bravery, the world has been peaceful for 1,200 years." Zhengxi nodded tiredly.
"The problem is that while the border defenses are being deployed in all four directions, there have been surprise attacks by foreigners along the northwest border, and many civilians have been killed or injured."
"The weirdest thing is that the dead all look very strange."
Liu Nianxiao sighed, obviously feeling that this matter was a bit tricky.
"What's so strange?" Zhengxi gently put the pen in his hand on the desk and stood up.
"He died while walking, and died while sleeping. After the local coroner examined him, he could not find any cause at all." Liunian handed over a picture album in his hand.
The album shows that when the people were working in the fields, the picture suddenly stopped; after the people fell asleep, the picture started to stop again.
There have been many wars in history... but it was the first time that Zhengxi had seen and heard of ordinary people dying in such a way. Soon, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Have you ever observed the sky at night?" Zhengxi asked after a long time.
"I have been observing the sky for seven consecutive nights and have found unusual movements, indicating that there will be a major disaster." Liunian did not dare to hide anything and told the story in detail.
"The ominous sign has reappeared." Zhengxi muttered to himself.
Among these memorials, how many people are advocating reconciliation? I want to see what these officials are thinking? Zhengxi was in a bad mood at this time.
"Wait, I want to guess who he is. Needless to say, there must be a Star Lord among them?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhengxi's eyes.
Liunian nodded and handed over the memorial in his hand.
"This old guy, I didn't expect him to be so pedantic and incompetent, and so afraid of things." Zhengxi threw the memorial to the ground.
Liu Nian nodded and said, "Can you sense that he has changed a lot, Immortal Lord? Although this Star Lord is old, he has always followed the general trend and even surpassed everyone's thinking... Now, he has suddenly become a sycophantic villain who does not care about national affairs."
"Go on, talk." Zhengxi felt more and more that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"This star king is a man of great talent and a leader in the court, but he is henpecked. However, his wife is not a good person."
"It is said that she is abusing beautiful women behind his back. Not to mention, she has a close relationship with the demons."
After Liu Nian's unhurried analysis, Zheng Xi felt a chill on his back, but was a little puzzled: "A woman, already middle-aged, is still like this? Didn't the Immortal Lord notice it?"
"What's strange about this? How smart is this Star Lord? I have heard that there are some supernatural people in the demon clan who can call the wind and rain and bewitch people's minds." Liu Nian said in a young voice.
"I have heard of this matter. But can the legend be trusted?" Zhengxi was very frightened.
Just imagine, if there really were such a group of people among the tribes, who could call the wind and rain and command the birds and beasts to obey their orders, how could the war be fought?
"Speaking of the demons, what's the situation with Yingjia?" Zhengxi frowned anxiously.
Liu Nian said: "She has already moved into the Immortal Emperor Mausoleum. It seems that she is determined to defeat the God of War."
"The demons are not afraid, so why would the Immortal King allow her to go to the Immortal Emperor's Tomb?" Liunian was a little puzzled.
Zhengxi gently patted the memorial in his hand and closed his eyes and said: "Am I fighting a war? No, I am fighting Xiye's fighting spirit to fight for the country again. Right now, the remnants of the four directions have begun to stretch out their hands. Listen, listen, there are people who can call the wind and rain, and countless ordinary people in my world have been killed and injured... If we keep waiting like this, the world will surely be in chaos, and the situation of long-term unity will eventually divide will begin." Liunian's heart trembled for no reason.
"This Yang Baitian has been the exclusive god of war for more than a thousand years. He is so confused that he even gives up the honor of becoming a monarch. How do you think I should punish this woman?" Zhengxi's eyes were cold.
"This fairy Zhuzi is an ancient fairy, ranked among the most respected fairies. She herself is extraordinary. I think that punishment is not as good as reward." Liunian's heart suddenly trembled.
Now is the best moment to overwhelm Xiye, but Liunian is such a modest gentleman that he would not let others get in trouble. At this moment, he can only try his best to find ways to exonerate her.
"Oh, you are quite open-minded. I heard that you have been obsessed with this fairy bead." Zhengxi looked at Liunian coldly.
Sure enough, Zhengxi, this old fox, never missed a step in using people and guarding against people.
"I am dissatisfied with the old immortal. I have nothing but respect for Xianzhuzi. In terms of seniority, she is of the same generation as you. How could I dare to marry someone who is higher than me? Besides, everyone knows that Xianzhuzi only has the God of War in her eyes." Liunian looked into Zhengxi's extremely clean and honest eyes.
"Haha, that's good. I don't want you to be like Ye'er and can't let go. Love is necessary, but love is over. Compared with national affairs, love is trivial. It's not a pity to give it up or abandon it."
At this time, outside the house, Lan Fei, who was delivering soup, could not move for a long time after hearing Zheng Xi's words.
"My queen, why don't you go in?" the father-in-law asked softly.
Concubine Lan smiled reluctantly: "I think there are still some things that I haven't dealt with yet, so I'd better go back to the palace first."
Seeing Concubine Lan leave, the eunuch scratched his head and said in confusion: "Lady Lan, you are such a gentle and cautious person, what happened to you today? You are so forgetful and distraught."
"Draft edict: All ethnic groups in the world are ambitious and want to challenge and disturb the people's peace. I hope the God of War will return to the fairyland as soon as possible, deploy the divine army, and ensure the safety of the great country..." Zhengxi recited the edict with a worried look on his face.
………………
I can memorize the content of this decree with my eyes closed.
I'm afraid this war is really going to be fought, and as a god of war, I can have any excuse not to fight, but when it comes to the lives of ordinary people, I have no way of retreat.
"My Lord." Wuyi fell gently from the roof.
"Did you get anything out of it?" Xi Ye rubbed his brows.
He accidentally took out some strange objects from his arms and gently placed them on the table.
Looking at a bunch of paper figures, straw figures, puppets, bronze statues...
Xi Ye frowned slightly and asked, "Is this a soul-killing technique?"
Wuyi nodded: "I found these things in the northwest."
"In the northwest, the 'soul-killing technique' of the southwest was actually discovered!" Xi Ye's heart was already filled with chills.
