"Step into the air?"
Looking at the lone person in the light curtain, walking in the air, heading towards the King of Chu in the north.
The empress's eyes narrowed slightly.
He exclaimed in astonishment: "The King of Chu has also become a celestial being?"
But come to think of it.
In the second year of Shengren.
The King of Chu's martial arts skills had already reached the half-step celestial being realm, and coupled with the strange changes in his body, it was not too surprising that he had now broken free from his shackles and ascended to the celestial being realm.
After watching the King of Chu for just a few hours.
After flying all the way from Chang'an to the Juman Pass, the empress's expression froze.
She was also curious.
What will be the outcome after I arrive at Juman Pass?
He was also curious as to why he had not appeared again in the seven years since the King of Chu took the throne.
It's as if he really disappeared from the face of the earth.
[You came to the North without telling anyone]
[You stand outside the Zhenbei Palace, looking at the door in front of you, which has not been knocked for a long time. You feel complicated inside. It is not until this moment that you finally understand that you have always been more afraid of this person than you are wary of him.]
[From the moment this person emerged, you felt a kind of pressure from him, an incomparable pressure, just like a towering mountain, which made you dare not relax for a moment. Even if you sat on the throne and became the Xingwu Emperor of the Dawu Dynasty, who was respected by everyone, you were still afraid of him.]
[Crunch——]
[When you didn't knock on the door of Zhenbei Palace for a long time, the door of the palace opened by itself]
[You finally met him, Zhenbei King Jiang Xuan]
[Time flies by, and now you are no longer as energetic as you were in the past, but this person has not changed at all, and still looks like a young man]
[King Zhenbei was not surprised when he saw you]
[He did not show any hostility towards you, but instead smiled and invited you into his house.]
[In the palace, you saw Duke Wu, who was over 70 years old but still had a ruddy complexion and an upright figure. You also saw Ning He, Shangguan Yun, the former commander of the Imperial Guard, and even several disciples and elders of the Qingyuan Sword Sect.]
【Finally, you saw Empress Wu Yuxi】
Your eldest niece
[You still feel a little guilty towards the Empress, and you don't know how to face her. After all, your kingdom was taken from the Empress. In front of her, you will never be the high and mighty Emperor Xingwu, but only a traitor.]
[You bowed deeply to the empress, hoping to relieve your guilt.]
[But what surprised you was that after seeing you, the empress didn't have any anger in her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she felt sorry for you.]
[You don’t understand]
[After paying his respects once more, he followed the footsteps of the King of Zhenbei and headed to the main hall.]
[This day, you talked a lot with the King of Zhenbei]
[The fear in your heart gradually disappeared during the conversation. You opened your heart and told him about your ambitions. You told him about your great ambition to unify the world and sweep across the wilderness. You wanted him to help you.]
[You said: If you are willing to help, and we put our efforts together, what is there to fear in the world? ]
[It's a pity that I can't face your invitation]
[King Zhenbei smiled and shook his head, rejecting you and not intending to help]
[You feel sorry for this]
[But he did not say anything else, but raised his cup towards him, drank the liquor in the cup, laughed and said: Since you are unwilling to help, then you can wait here and see how I can sweep across the world with my own strength, unify the world, and achieve the eternal hegemony]
[The King of Zhenbei seemed to be interested in your remarks. He talked to you about the current situation of the Great Wei, the Great Li Dynasty, and the South Vietnam, and also told you a lot about the difficulties that will be faced.]
[After listening to this, you bowed solemnly to the King of Zhenbei, expressing your gratitude]
【One night of conversation】
[Since the moment you chose to rebel, you have never felt so relaxed as you do today]
[The next day] [After receiving an answer that made you feel a little regretful but extremely satisfied, you resigned from the King of Zhenbei and planned to return to Chang'an and immediately launch an attack on Nanyue]
【But when leaving】
[You try to tell this person about the situation you have been experiencing in the past few years, wanting to see if he knows anything and whether he can solve it.]
[After hearing this, King Zhenbei shook his head]
[In those eyes that seemed to never stir up any waves, a hint of solemnity suddenly emerged at this moment, reminding you: Be careful of the person behind you]
[At this point, the conversation did not continue.]
[The Prince of Zhenbei seemed to know something, and the Empress seemed to know something too, but they didn't tell you. After thanking them, you returned to Chang'an full of doubts.]
【Be careful of the person behind you.】
[You don't know what the King of Zhenbei's reminder means]
[The only person behind you is Mr.]
[Will the gentleman harm himself? ]
[You never thought about this]
[After returning to Chang'an, you temporarily put this matter behind you and began to prepare for the expedition to Nanyue. For some reason, you had an illusion]
[You always feel that you don’t have much time left]
[So you are very anxious, you want to see the unification of the world in your lifetime]
[Eighth Year of Shengren]
【New Year】
[You order the general Tai Shiyue recommended by the teacher to be the commander-in-chief, Wang Ling to be the deputy commander-in-chief, and Xiao Chengyun to be the vanguard general, and send 600,000 troops south to conquer Nanyue]
"Tai Shiyue?"
When the empress saw this name.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed in shock: "Isn't this person Empress Dowager Xiao's man?"
"hiss"
"Could it be that Empress Dowager Xiao's true origin is related to Dong Zhongxian?"
Looking at the familiar figure on the screen, the empress's expression changed drastically: "So Empress Dowager Xiao is also one of his chess pieces?"
But the words just fell.
The empress shook her head again, her brows tightly furrowed.
This simulation took place after the King of Han captured Chang'an and Empress Dowager Xiao disappeared.
The process is the same as the previous simulations.
If we move in another direction, some things will be changed.
perhaps
Tai Shi Yue was discovered by Dong Zhongxian after Empress Dowager Xiao disappeared. Dong Zhongxian thought he was quite talented, so he took him under his command and recommended him to the King of Chu as a general.
Of course, things are not so absolute.
At least for now.
The empress still preferred to believe that Empress Dowager Xiao was another chess piece of Dong Zhongxian in the Dawu Dynasty.
Think about it.
The empress thought of the simulation again, when the King of Chu went to Juman Pass, and she couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What did I and Jiang Xuan know at that time?"
Simulation continues
[Eighth Year of Shengren]
[Under your command, an army of 600,000 soldiers marched southwards, heading straight for Lingnan. The soldiers were ambitious and their morale was incredibly high. They vowed to conquer Nanyue in one go within a month and live up to your expectations.]
[And the fact is so]
[Under the command of Tai Shiyue, Nanyue only held out for more than half a month before it was completely conquered]
