Chapter 582

(for the top ten!)

Jiangbei Road

Firefox city is very famous, but it is just a ruin.

When the Central Plains was still under the rule of the great Zheng State, Firefox city was once a male city second only to Chang'an. Of course, Chang'an city at that time was far from what it is now. Firefox city is a pure military city in the state of Zheng. In order to show the strong military power of the state of Zheng, the founding emperor of great Zheng planned to build Firefox city on Jiangbei Road, which can accommodate 300000 soldiers.

At that time, the purpose of building this city was to frighten the state of Chen in the south of the Yangtze River. When the emperor of the state of Zheng was competing for hegemony in the Central Plains, the state of Chen in Jiangnan also coveted the Central Plains. He sent troops North several times and once occupied the whole Jiangbei Road, only a thousand miles away from Chang'an city. Later, after the emperor of Zheng defeated the enemy and ascended the throne, he personally led the army to drive the army of Chen back to the south of the Yangtze River.

Then he ordered the construction of Firefox city and stationed troops here. First, to demonstrate his force. Second, to convince the people. Third, why didn't the emperor of Zheng want to send troops south to unify the two sides of the river? Later, Zheng's army marched south many times, starting from here. However, although the state of Chen later produced several confused emperors, there was no lack of famous generals. Chen Guonan's expedition ended in failure, but Firefox city has always been a military important place.

Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, set up his army. The first big battle was to conquer Firefox city.

At that time, the invincible big Sui army met the most tenacious resistance in Firefox city. Although it won later, Yang Jian was distressed by the loss of troops.

The Sui army stormed. Before breaking the city, the Zheng army set the big city on fire. The fire was less than half a month, leaving a ruin.

Later, the ruins of Firefox city became a place that literati must see, and I don't know how many handed down poems are left here.

At the beginning of Yang Jianli's country, he once wanted to repair Firefox City, but because the national strength to expand Chang'an city was not enough to support it, coupled with the opposition of courtiers, it was nothing.

At this time, although the world has become a mess, Jiangbei Road, which is close to Gyeonggi Road, has not been involved in the war for the time being. However, the number of people visiting Firefox city is obviously not as many as before, and the official road is cold and desolate.

A group of more than 200 people protected the carriage and galloped north along the official road. The team from northern Shaanxi Road did not choose the nearest road, but walked half a circle to the South and then turned to Chang'an. After a long journey back, the more than 200 well-trained Knights looked dusty, and everyone's face was a little haggard.

Su Buwei, who drove the car, lifted the curtain and looked into the car from time to time. The emperor's body has become weaker and weaker recently. He can't eat for two days. It seems that it's even difficult to insist on returning to Chang'an city. The once ambitious emperor, now as thin as a withered bone, curled up in the carriage and didn't open his eyes or speak all day.

What Su Buwei feared most was that the next time he lifted the curtain and looked inside, the emperor had no breath.

In fact, up to now, even Su Buwei doesn't know why the emperor is still alive. This supreme emperor, who clearly has no vitality, has lived two years longer than the old president of the martial arts academy predicted. If this is not a miracle, Su Buwei doesn't know what a miracle is.

Perhaps even the Emperor himself thought it was a miracle.

I can't imagine what supported the emperor's majesty just refused to die.

"Where have you been?"

A faint voice of inquiry came from the carriage, which was the first time the emperor had spoken in three days.

"Back to your majesty, the front is Firefox city. If there is no accident, you can return to the capital in another half a month. Your majesty is hungry. Why don't you stop and cook a bowl of rice porridge for you?"

"Firefox city..."

The emperor curled up in the carriage laboriously pulled the blanket on his body and opened his eyes slightly: "I remember that when I was the prince, the first emperor asked all the princes to come to Firefox city to pay tribute to the soldiers who died when I broke the city... I burned paper money myself..."

Su Buwei's heart moved. Unexpectedly, the emperor was interested in saying this.

"Not only my brothers, but all the emperors of the great Sui Dynasty will let their sons come to Firefox city to have a look at the ruins. It is here that 70000 great Sui warriors were buried here. That was the most difficult war that emperor Taizu fought after he took up the army. Even when he conquered Chang'an city later, he only lost 30000 fine armor."

The emperor gasped for a while and smiled at Su Buwei: "stop at Firefox city. I want to see it again."

Su was not afraid of a joy and quickly agreed. The emperor's spirit today is obviously better than before. He has long wanted to stop to cook a bowl of porridge for the emperor. These two days, the emperor has no water and rice, and he is almost exhausted. But he was happy. Suddenly he thought of something that made his heart tighten again. He subconsciously looked at the emperor, and the corners of Su Buwei's mouth trembled.

"Don't be afraid"

The emperor smiled very hard: "I'm not looking back... I didn't like to talk a while ago because I wanted to keep my strength. I'm afraid I'll die before I can hold on to Chang'an city. Isn't that a pity? Now it's close to Chang'an, and I'd like to see this Firefox city again."

Su Buwei was relieved and gave orders to the guard knight. Thirty or forty cavalry men were divided out to speed forward and prepare first.

The carriage stopped slowly outside the ruins of Firefox city. Su Buwei jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, then climbed up again, climbed out of the carriage with the emperor on his back, and carefully got out of the carriage. He dragged the emperor tightly with his two hands, lest the emperor had no strength to fall off his back. One of the accompanying guards quickly pulled out the woolen blanket from the carriage and surrounded the emperor.

Su Buwei walked forward with the emperor on his back. The emperor fell on him and looked up at the ruins. I don't know why he suddenly said something that Su Buwei didn't understand, like talking to himself or to whom he wanted to talk.

"Ruins... In fact, what I fear most is to see the ruins..."

……

……

Before the ruins

The bodyguard put the recliner in place, then helped the emperor down from Su Buwei's back and sat on the chair. The emperor tilted his head and looked at the ruins that seemed to be invisible. There was some sadness in his eyes. After putting the emperor away, Su Buwei quickly turned to get the rice. He didn't want the guards to intervene in cooking porridge. He knew that the emperor couldn't chew even a little hard rice now.

But the emperor still had the dignity of the emperor. Su Buwei didn't want the guards to know this.

Immortal Zhang of Wudang Mountain came slowly and squatted down to feel the emperor's pulse. The emperor shook his head slightly: "no, I know I can hold on until I go back. If I don't do anything for the crown prince, I can't die."

Immortal Zhang was stunned, and then stood on the emperor's side, not knowing what to say.

"Immortal... If I give you the Jianghu of the great Sui Dynasty, can you help the prince stabilize the great Sui Dynasty with those hot-blooded children in the Jianghu?"

The emperor murmured: "It's like... The old president helped emperor Taizu as he did, just like my seven younger brothers... I asked you at the beginning. You said you wanted to steal more years from God to live. If you joined the temple, you would die several years earlier. I didn't blame you at that time, because I still had a Xiao 19 in my hand. Although I saw Xiao 19's mind at that time It's too big, but he's really better than you in cooperating with the imperial court. "

"Your Majesty said..."

Immortal Zhang whispered, "Xiao 19 knows how to cooperate with the imperial court to stabilize the Wulin in the Central Plains. He also knows better than me how to convince the people of Taoism so that they won't believe in other sects. He can do a peach blossom overnight on Qingle mountain. I didn't have this idea. When your majesty chose Xiao 19, I knew it was the most correct choice."

"But he let me down."

The emperor sighed, "immortal, you won't let me down, will you?"

Immortal Zhang opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.

The emperor was obviously disappointed that he didn't wait for the answer he wanted, so the sadness in his eyes became more and more intense. After a while, he turned to Zhang Zhenren and said: "I wish I could practice. If I could live long, I could make the great Sui more powerful. I'm not afraid of life and death. I just don't trust the crown prince. I firmly believe that I should do better than all previous emperors. As long as you give me time... I can make the great Sui a giant ship that will never sink."

"I firmly believe"

Zhang Zhenren.

Hearing this word, the emperor's face changed, and then a happy look flashed in his eyes: "I... Want to thank you."

"I just feel that the great Sui Dynasty can't fall."

"Yes... How can Da Sui fall?"

The emperor smiled: "that's why I want to go back and tell the prince something. I want to tell him that no matter what happens, don't leave Chang'an city. No matter which thief has many people and horses, Chang'an city can't be broken by anyone who wants to break it. The reason why Emperor Taizu wanted to expand Chang'an city was that he knew that as long as Chang'an was in, the Sui Dynasty couldn't fall..."

"What about Luo Yao? He may be able to enter Chang'an himself, but his troops can't. what's more... He doesn't dare to enter Chang'an."

"Yes"

Zhang Zhenren nodded: "as long as the old Dean is still in Chang'an City, Luo Yao doesn't dare to go in easily."

"Not only that."

The emperor suddenly smiled, some incomprehensible complacency: "When I get back to Chang'an City, I'll tell you a great secret. This secret can only be told to my successors before the death of the emperors of the Sui Dynasty, so I didn't tell the prince in advance even if I was seriously ill. Because this secret is too big, I'm afraid the prince can't keep it. Once the secret is known by others, it's a secret that my Yang family has worked hard to arrange for so many years, old Dean The secret that takes half of the cultivation to protect will have no effect. "

"Minister... It's better not to know."

Immortal Zhang hung his head.

"No"

The emperor said, "the old Dean is too old after all. If he hadn't spent half of his cultivation to do that, he might have protected my Yang family for a hundred years, but now he is almost at the end of the oil and light. In case the old Dean is gone, you can only help the crown prince keep this secret."

Zhang Zhenzhen was not talking, but his heart was getting heavier and heavier. I don't know why, he didn't have any curiosity about the secret that the emperor wanted to say. Some were just strong sadness.

"Once this secret has to be released, I'm afraid it will scare everyone."

The emperor smiled and then laboriously moved his body.

"The determination of the Yang family to protect the empire is beyond anyone's comprehension. For the sake of the great Sui Dynasty, the efforts made by the Yang family are far from being seen by outsiders. When the hundred mile Chang'an city was built, the courtiers and people were opposed, but my Yang family just wanted to do it, because once Chang'an was built, Chang'an will become the strongest fort in the event of crisis in the Yang family's world Base, no one can break it. "

The emperor seemed a little confused. He had said this back and forth several times.

He looked at the ruins and raised his finger. "I will never be seen, the prince will never be seen, the Yang family will never be seen, and Chang'an city will become like this!"

Zhang Zhenzhen was a little surprised at this time. How can the emperor still have such confidence now? Is it because of the great secret that the Emperor just said? But what is the secret that can make the Yang family do their best to protect and let wanxingchen spend half of their cultivation to create?

Is this the emperor's confident Laiyuan?
