Half a month later, Xu Xiao's army finally arrived at the border of Chu State. They were attacked from both sides and fought on two fronts, which greatly increased the pressure on Chu.

The Emperor of Chu ordered Wang Yangming to sit in the southeast to resist Xu Xiao's army.

Everyone in the world knows that as long as the Chu Kingdom is conquered, the Liyang Dynasty will be able to recreate the Qin Empire and unify the world. Those who plant the Liyang military flag on the Great Phoenix City, those who destroy Chu and promote the unification of the world will inevitably

His name will remain in history.

Especially when Emperor Liyang summoned the world to find out who could destroy Chu and grant him the title of king with a different surname, the undercurrent of this war surged.

No one knows the reactions of Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang, but the dependence of both parties and the generals under their command all hope that their respective generals can make further progress. A king with a different surname not only means a highly respected minister, but also the distribution of countless benefits.

The front line was filled with flames of war, but in the Liyang Palace, the old emperor met someone late at night.

Under the night sky full of stars, the old emperor and this man stood leaning on the railing.

This man was about forty years old, with a smooth head. He was obviously a monk. The monk was dressed in black, and the light was slightly dim under the moonlight. Only when he got closer could he see clearly that the monk's face was indeed ferocious, with triangular eyes and a sinister and indifferent brow.

Extremely vicious and terrifying, this person is none other than Yang Taisui.

However, Han Diao Temple, not far away, looked at this man with respectful eyes.

The old emperor looked at the stars in the sky and said: "A few days ago, I sent people to Yongfu Temple to look for you, but I was told that you were not there. Are you avoiding me?"

The black-clothed monk was silent for a moment. He knew why the emperor was looking for him. He and Xu Xiao were on good terms, so it was the most suitable thing for him to do, but being suitable did not mean being right.

The old emperor looked closely, and Yang Taisui could only say: "A few days ago, I had some enlightenment, so I went to Liangchan Temple."

The emperor muttered, "Liangchan Temple?"

Yang Taisui nodded in agreement.

The old emperor passed over this topic and went straight to the topic: "Although Dachu is not weak, it will not be able to survive for long under the attack from both sides by Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang. Aiqing should have heard my edict. Who do you think the two of them are?"

Can I be granted the title of king with a different surname?"

Yang Taisui was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I hope it is General Gu."

After hearing this, the old emperor took a deep look at him, his old eyes sharpened suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu Jiantang always seeks stability when leading troops in battles, but the Beiliang army under Xu Xiao is famous for his willingness to fight to the death. Da Chu

This tough guy, the two of them"

When he said this, the sharp look in the emperor's eyes disappeared and turned into a deep darkness, as if he was sighing: "I also hope that what Aiqing said will come true."

Yang Taisui said nothing, but his eyes became increasingly worried.

At this moment, the starry sky suddenly turned red. The emperor and Yang Taisui also looked up to the sky. They saw two big stars with red light in the sky, getting closer and closer. The two stars were competing with each other, filling the sky.

All are red lights.

Looking at this vision, the old emperor's face turned pale suddenly, and Yang Taisui was also stunned.

Not far away from Han Diao Temple, looking at the starry sky, the two big red stars were getting closer and closer. Their faces were full of horror, and they murmured: "Yingying fire, separation and confusion."

"Tap, tap, tap," the footsteps moved.

Han Diao Si turned around and saw a group of people from the Qin Tian Prison hurriedly walking this way with panic-stricken expressions.

Yang Taisui came back to his senses, immediately turned to look at the emperor, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the one who is dealing with the celestial phenomenon this time must be the Emperor of Chu, not His Majesty, I hope you do that."

The emperor's blue face trembled, his fists were clenched, and he suddenly said coldly, "Stop talking, Yang Aiqing, I'll bother you this time. In a few days, it will be the fifteenth, and the queen really wants to meet Xu Aiqing's wife."

, Yang Aiqing will make arrangements."

Yang Taisui was silent and fell to his knees.

The prison officer from the Qin Tian Prison walked up to him and was about to speak when he was stopped by Han Diao Si.

At the gate of the city, standing at the side door, Zhu Wuwu, who had just arrived in the capital, looked up at the red light in the sky. The red flashing in his eyes could not cover up the golden light underneath, and whispered: "Yinghuo Shouxin"

After looking at it for a while, he shook his head and walked into the city gate.

Deep in Emperor Wu City, Wang Xianzhi stood facing the sea, looking at the surging "red" sea water, his eyes flashed, and then closed.

The Wu Family Sword Tomb was quiet except for the occasional call of crows. Inside the sword tomb, the broken but smooth sword body reflected the red light falling from the sky and flowed like bright red blood.

In Longhu Mountain, a fisherman holding a fishing rod put down his fishing rod, frowned, and stood up.

In the Beiliang Army, in front of the camp, Xu Xiao stood with his sword in his hand, his face calm. However, the sight of many generals behind him looking at his back made Xu Xiao feel heavy.

Nanshan, Yizhuang.

The red light falling from the sky reflected on Feng Yin's red armor. He looked up at the sky, then turned to look at the deity lying in the coffin in the room, and muttered: "Isn't it because Mars is approaching Antares?

The ancients just liked to think too much." Even so, thinking that the world is slightly different, his tone was not so sure.

People all over the world looked at the stars that dyed the sky red, and many people had different thoughts.

A natural vision shocked the world. It was rumored that this was to deal with the Emperor of Chu. Disaster was coming, and the Liyang Dynasty was about to unify the world. Those with ulterior motives spread rumors. Xu Xiao, the Northern Liang army, destroyed six countries in a row, and then sent troops northward after destroying Chu.

To seize the throne.

On the 13th, in the imperial study room of Liyang Palace.

The emperor put down the memorial and looked a little tired. The Han Diao Temple nearby saw this and promptly gave him a cup of ginseng tea.

Taking the tea cup, the emperor looked at himself reflected in the tea. He was busy with all kinds of things every day. Even though he was carefully cared for by the imperial physician, his body still looked old and his eyes were still sharp, but he could not hide the gray spots on his temples.

The old emperor was stunned for a long time. Instead of drinking tea, the old emperor put down the tea bowl and suddenly said: "Diao Temple, will it be the fifteenth day in the future?"

Han Diao Si responded softly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor hummed, took a sip of the ginseng tea, and then said: "Call Lao Qi."

Han Diao Si took the order and left.

Not long after, the seventh prince came to the old emperor under the leadership of Han Diao Temple.

The emperor looked at his seventh son intently. He was graceful and majestic, looking like a dragon and a tiger. After looking at him for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Seventh, what state has your martial arts reached?"

Zhu Wuying said respectfully: "Reporting to the emperor, my son has just stepped into the threshold of the first rank not long ago."

Han Diao Si next to him was shocked. He was only at the first level at this time. More than a year ago, he couldn't clearly see the reality of the Seventh Highness. He thought it was due to his martial arts, but he unexpectedly reached the first level.

The emperor asked some more questions, which involved Zhu Wuli's secret arrangements over the years. Except for some extremely critical things, he did not hide anything else, and even revealed his plans and assumptions.

After the words fell, there was silence in the imperial study room for a long time.

The old emperor looked at his son in the hall, knowing more things that he didn't know before. He felt that he was beyond his control, which made him very uncomfortable. His eyes were sometimes gloomy, sometimes happy, and he seemed to be relieved quietly.

Zhu Wuli's face was calm, and the decision to reveal his secret arrangements at this time was a decision made by his political sense accumulated in two lifetimes.

He knew that the Liyang Dynasty, the fledgling empire, was still in the hands of this old man, but he was old after all, and the unification that was about to be completed would inevitably push the aging emperor to an extreme in the history books.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is of a high level and will be remembered in history. Based on the news he has received in the past few days, the emperor has begun to prepare for what will happen after his death.

Although it was necessary to deal with those generals with great achievements, the decision on the position of crown prince could not be avoided in the end.

Zhu ignored this to give himself more leverage and increase his weight in the emperor's heart, telling the emperor that with his city government skills, he could balance the interests of all parties and maintain the rule of the Zhao family.

Of course, if the worst happens, the man in red armor who was sent to assist him a few days ago will hide in his palace. It is not far from here and he can just escape. Although Zhu Wuli has enough confidence, in this situation

Will never appear.

After a long while, the emperor asked softly: "What do you think of Xu Xiao?"

Zhu Wulan's eyes moved, but he did not answer. Instead, he leaned over and asked for orders: "I heard that my father wants to entertain General Xu's wife in the palace the day after tomorrow. I have admired this swordsman for a long time. Can you come to visit me tomorrow?"

The emperor was surprised, looked at him deeply, and spoke slowly.
