Chapter 702 Past Events of Chen Country (1)

During the night, the snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

However, Fang Ziyu knew that the snow had only stopped temporarily in order to brew a bigger and colder blizzard.

It will continue until the end of this winter, of course, if there really is an end to this winter.

The night was already very late, but Fang Ziyu did not feel sleepy. She did not want to sleep, nor did she seem to be able to sleep. There were red candles lit in the room, but the best red candles could not illuminate the deep darkness in the gorgeous palace. Fang Ziyu looked out the window and thought that Ye Hongjian and the others would leave in a few days. She could not go, which made her feel helpless and guilty.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. Then, she turned her gaze to the book in front of the desk again.

Chen Xuanji gave her twenty days. Let her remember everything in this book. Although she did not understand what this meant to Chen Xuanji, she thought that if she could quickly memorize these useless things, Chen Xuanji would give her freedom one day earlier. If she was fast enough, she might even be able to catch up to the final battle of Great Abyss Mountain.

Whether it was life or death, she wanted to be with that group of people. As long as they were together, everything would not be so terrifying to Fang Ziyu.

When Fang Ziyu thought of this, she immediately became motivated. She clenched her fists and cheered herself up. She muttered to herself, "Fang Ziyu, you can do it."

"You can definitely do it."

However, Fang Ziyu, who was immersed in those boring books, did not notice that a red figure silently stood outside the window and watched her for a while before he silently turned around and left.

…

The red figure walked through Changle Palace. Her speed was not fast, but neither the eunuchs patrolling the palace nor the guards pacing back and forth outside the palace noticed her existence. She was like a ghost, wandering in Changle Palace. Other than herself, no one else could perceive her existence.

Very quickly, she passed through many palaces and finally stopped in front of a courtyard gate.

"Jade Bone's miasma mist, ice muscles have their own immortal wind."

"When the Sea Immortal is here, he sends a probe through the fragrant bushes and hangs the green-furred phoenix

"Smooth face is often disgusted with powder. Wash your makeup and keep your lips red."

"Gao Qing has already chased Xiaoyun Kong, not dreaming with the pear blossom."

At that time, a man's low voice came from the courtyard gate. The red figure was slightly stunned. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate. There was a plaque hanging on the courtyard gate that read "Loquat Garden".

The red figure thought to herself. If she remembered correctly, this should be the residence in front of the late Empress Chen, Yan Yanyan. However, I heard that this place had long been sealed because of the rebellion of the Yan Clan. Chen Xuanji had personally given this order. Logically speaking, it should be empty. Why was there a burst of singing coming from inside at this moment?

Of course, this was a strange thing, but before such doubts could completely spread in that person's heart, a voice came from within the courtyard gate.

"Since Martial Uncle Hongjian is here, why don't you come in and take a seat?"

Ye Hongjian, who was dressed in red, was stunned. Then he understood, She extended her hand and slowly pushed open the courtyard door that had been sealed in dust for a long time. The dust on the courtyard door rustled as she pushed it down, but before touching Ye Hongjian's clothes, it was burned by the blazing sun that suddenly rose from Ye Hongjian's body and dissipated into wisps of green smoke.

Ye Hongjian seemed to be unaware of this, and she looked at the courtyard with a deep brow.

Although she had already guessed who was in the courtyard after hearing that voice, when she saw what was happening inside, her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

There was a large tree in the courtyard. In winter, the leaves had long since fallen, and its branches were covered with thick snow, as if it was going to completely bend the entire tree.

Under the tree was a thick pile of snow. On the snow, a handsome man dressed in white clothes and with white hair stood beside the old tree. He held a pot of wine in one hand and placed his hand gently on the snow. At this moment, he was sitting beside the old tree. He looked at Ye Hongjian with drunken eyes and smiled faintly.

After the destruction of Linglong Pavilion, there weren't many people in this world who could still call Ye Hongjian Martial Uncle. One was Fang Ziyu, and the remaining was Chen Xuanji, the emperor of the Chen Kingdom!

Chen Xuanji seemed to be delighted with Ye Hongjian's arrival. His cheeks were slightly flushed red, but his hand holding the wine bottle raised high towards Ye Hongjian. He shook the wine bottle and said, "Martial Uncle came at the right time. Shall we have a drink?"

Ye Hongjian remained silent and did not respond to Chen Xuanji's invitation. However, at that moment, she slowly walked towards Chen Xuanji and stopped about half a zhang away from him. Then, she sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanji smiled even more. He sat up straight and handed the wine jug to Ye Hongjian.

But at that time, Ye Hongjian reached out her hand and pushed away the wine jug. She shook her head but did not say anything.

Chen Xuanji couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted. He said, "Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle, you're calling me. I almost forgot that Martial Uncle is also a woman. She's Brother Xu's woman."

After saying this, Chen Xuanji suddenly extended his other hand and shook it in the void. At that moment, a soft sound rang out from the house in the courtyard. At that moment, something flew out and fell into his hand. It was a bottle of wine that had not been opened yet. Looking at Chen Xuanji's posture, it seemed that he was preparing a lot of such wine here.

This time, Ye Hongjian did not refuse the wine jug he handed over.

She took the thing, opened the seal on it, and then raised her head to drink a mouthful. Her actions were heroic, without the pretentious manner of an ordinary woman.

"Martial Uncle is indeed a hero among women. A woman won't let her brows stand on end!" Seeing this, Chen Xuanji burst into laughter.

"I drank too." However, Ye Hongjian did not have the slightest intention of teasing Chen Xuanji. She put down the wine jug in her hand and looked at Chen Xuanji seriously.

However, Chen Xuanji turned a deaf ear to these words. He still said with a hazy smile, "Speaking of which, although Martial Uncle and I are disciples of the same sect, it seems that there has never been a chance to drink with Martial Uncle. Today, you and I …"

Halfway through his words, Chen Xuanji stopped. It wasn't because he didn't know how to say it, but because Ye Hongjian's eyebrows suddenly surged with killing intent. Chen Xuanji knew that this gathering would probably end in displeasure if he cared so much about him.

Although he wasn't willing to admit it, Chen Xuanji really needed someone to say something to relieve the frustration in his heart after arriving in the Chen Kingdom.

"Ziyu said that you let her carry a lot of inexplicable things, most of which are some customs, or Chen officials anecdotes, I went to see today, the world of the previous thousands of years of historical materials were also piled up in front of her desk, tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Why would Xiao Han agree to this marriage and even help you mediate? Ye Hongjian saw that Chen Xuanji stopped speaking and asked at that time.

Hearing this, Chen Xuanji slowly stood up.

It snowed again. White snow fell on his white hair and clothes, almost merging with him. He paced back and forth around the ancient tree. The scene was so beautiful that it was like the scene of a white-clothed immortal circling an ancient vine. The entire city was filled with pear blossoms.

"This is the dormitory of my last empress."

At that moment, he began to mutter to himself.

"Her name is Yan Yanyan. Her Yan Clan is a large clan of the Chen Kingdom and possesses wealth comparable to that of the other countries. Her trading houses are located in almost every part of the Chen Kingdom, and the fields she deals with cover almost all trades and industries that she can deal with."

"At that time, I just ascended the throne. Munch, who is also my uncle, controlled the government. Although I am called the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom, I do not have much authority in my hands. Even after I ascended the throne and patrolled Jinling City, the people only know about Qin King Munch and do not know what I am."

"I didn't intend to do anything to the Emperor's family. I have treated Linglong Pavilion very well. There are teachers who treat me as if I came from their own sect, waiting for my fellow disciples who treat me like brothers, and there are even more … children and fish …"

"Is they insisted on pulling me back, do what Chen emperor, can do after? Not long after, I met Great Xia sending troops to Changwu Pass, but Munch said that he was not sick, forcing me to transfer my clan uncle Chen Ping to Changwu Pass, so in the battle of Changwu Pass, my clan uncle died along with the more than a hundred thousand troops in his hands. Only then did Monk take action to repel Cui Ting. "As for my Chen Kingdom, apart from the Tiger Wolf Cavalry in Munch's hands, there are no more usable weapons. From now on, the surname Chen appears to be Chen, but in fact, his surname is Meng."

"Chen Tingzhu, also is my father. I don't really have a good impression of him. He personally killed my mother back then, but when I saw him lying on the bed holding back his last breath just to finish his last sentence with me, I still couldn't help but tremble. No matter how much hatred he had, it dissipated a lot at that time. Besides, the longer I sit in this position, the more I understand what he did. "

"There is no good fortune in the Emperor's family."

Chen Xuanji murmured to himself whether it was because he had drunk too much. Finally, he sighed, but Ye Hongjian could not hear it, nor did she understand what he was trying to say.

For this reason, Ye Hongjian couldn't help but frown, but Chen Xuanji seemed to be completely silent in his memories, and he still kept talking to himself.

"Since I sat in this position, in order to protect themselves, for the throne is also good, I can't let monk go on like this. I didn't want to do it, so he forced me to do it. Thus, I found the Yan Clan and married Yan Yanyan into the palace. I gave her the position of Empress of the Chen Kingdom, and in return, the Yan Clan completely stood on my side. Whether it was financial or human resources, they all helped me with all their might. The Yan Clan's Clan Master has even transformed into a 200 thousand elite army for me in just a month. "

"Everything seems to be developing well at this time. I have military power, and the Chen Kingdom is no longer the sole leader of the Munch family."

"But Monk's mansion is really too deep, I did not escape his eyes, he forced me, step by step. When Cui Ting commits another crime, I originally wanted to isolate him in front of Changwu Pass just like he did when he killed his clan uncle. When he was exhausted, I annihilated him in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect him to have already cultivated into an immortal. Not only did he defend Changwu Pass, the first thing Ban Shi did when he returned to the court was to ask me for punishment. "I had no choice but to return all of this to the Yan Clan. Yan Yan… also died at that time… was personally killed by me."

Ye Hongjian had only heard about Chen Country's first empress plotting against him. Although she knew that there must be some struggle for imperial power, she had never thought that Chen Xuanji would personally do it.

It was as if Chen Xuanji had sensed the shock and confusion in Ye Hongjian's gaze. The smile on Chen Xuanji's face had also become a bit bitter at that time.

He pointed at the door in the courtyard and said again, "This is Yan Yan's dormitory. Actually, I've thought about it carefully. I really don't like her. I only married her to borrow the influence of the Yan family. But she seems to really like me."

"I thought for a long time that day, how to deal with Monk's question, how to calm the waves with the smallest loss. Yan Yan's words reminded me that she often comforted me, saying that as long as I was alive, I would have a chance. I was very young, but Monk was already old. Well, Monk hadn't revealed his true appearance at that time, and we didn't know that he had already cultivated into an immortal. Yan Yan told me to wait in peace. One day, I will wait for that opportunity. As long as I am still alive, and she also said that she is willing to help me, willing to help me regardless of everything. "

'"So I thought of this idea all night. When I made up my mind to come here, Yan Yan greeted me with the same smile as usual and asked me if I had any ideas. I told her seriously that I had, and she asked me what I could do."

Chen Xuanji paused for a moment. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Hongjian felt that Chen Xuanji's body was trembling at this moment. It was an uncontrollable tremor of slight worry.

Chen Xuanji stretched out his hands and held them in the void. There was nothing in his hand, but his knuckles were slightly pale, and strands of veins that had burst out from excessive strength appeared on his exposed snow-white arm.

Chen Xuanji's eyes turned red, and the expression in his eyes was mad and distorted.

At that moment, he spat out a ghost-like whisper, "Just like that, I forcefully grabbed her and killed her in her terrified and puzzled gaze."

Ye Hongjian was stunned. She had been in a dilemma before. At that time, she did not make a satisfactory decision. She could understand the pain in Chen Xuanji's heart. Of course, such an understanding did not mean that she agreed with Chen Xuanji's ruthless approach.

She looked at Chen Xuanji silently. She wanted to say something, but she felt that it was inappropriate to say anything at this moment.

After a long time, Chen Xuanji fell to the ground dejectedly.

He picked up the wine jug at the side again and drank it. He drank it quickly and urgently, so much so that the wine stains kept flowing down his lips and soaked his clothes. It seemed that only in this way could he pour out the confusion and uneasiness that was surging in his heart.

After he finished drinking the wine in the wine jug, he said again.

However, both his tone and his expression darkened at this moment.

"This isn't a difficult matter. After all, Yan Yan doesn't have much cultivation, so she naturally doesn't have much room to resist in front of me. However, the difficult thing is…"

"Since the yan family was crowned with the plot against monk big crime, a yan yan yan naturally is not enough to quell the situation. That's why the entire Yan Clan has to be buried with her. I sent people to snatch the Yan Clan. First, I can let those things that shouldn't appear in Munch's eyes appear in his eyes. Second, I can also take over some of the Yan Clan's forces as much as possible. This way, I can more or less recover the loss of sacrificing a car to protect a marshal. "As a result, a large number of secret letters about the Yan Clan's correspondence with other places were sent to the palace. I looked through them one by one and discovered that the Yan Clan is far from as simple as I imagined."

"Actually, it's true after thinking about it for a while. When I was forced to flee to the Great Zhou more than ten years ago, the Yan Clan was just one of the many unremarkable clans in Jinling City. Without the support of the Imperial Court, how could a small clan grow to such a degree in more than ten years?" "There is a secret behind it, and there is a colossus that is even more terrifying than Chen, Great Zhou, or even Great Xia."

When Ye Hongjian heard this, she stared at the crazy Chen Xuanji. Her heart trembled. At that time, she seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously blurted out, "You mean Dark Asura Palace?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuanji smiled and praised loudly, "Martial Uncle Bing Xue is smart. As expected, he can't hide anything from Martial Uncle."

This kind of praise was somewhat hypocritical. After all, the only power in the world that could compare to the three kingdoms of Xia, Zhou, and Chen was the Dark Asura Palace. Chen Xuanji said that anyone would be able to guess one or two of them at this level.

"The Yan Family is a force that the Dark Asura Palace has invaded the Chen Kingdom. They have secretly developed to this extent in just over ten years, but Martial Uncle should also know that whether it is rooted in the Great Zhou or Great Xia, the Dark Asura Palace is intertwined. Not to mention destroying them, even most people only know how powerful it is after it surfaced. "Why are the powers in the Chen Kingdom so weak and vulnerable?"

"Putting aside the huge number of Asuras, even the giants of a certain faction would most likely send one of the Ten Halls of Yama to supervise. This Yama's martial uncle should also know that he must be a Half-step Immortal Realm expert. At that time, I was at the Great Evolution Realm. How could I easily pull the Dark Asura Palace out of the Chen Kingdom?"

Ye Hongjian couldn't help but be stunned by Chen Xuanji's question. This was indeed a problem. Based on the style of the Dark Asura Palace, with Chen Xuanji's cultivation and the power in his hands at that time, it was truly inconceivable that he wanted to accomplish this.

"Dark Asura Palace has been operating in the Chen Kingdom for more than ten years, and the accumulated financial and material resources are temporarily not shown. Just this Asura alone is two hundred thousand. Unfortunately, they gave me this two hundred thousand. They really gave it to me. Those two hundred thousand Asuras only obey my orders. Dark Asura Palace has only left the various caravans and the entangled intelligence network in the Chen Kingdom since then. "Therefore, the Dark Asura Palace is powerful in other countries, but it seems to be entangled in the Chen Kingdom. In fact, it has no combat power."

"But, why would Senluo Palace be so relieved to hand over these 200,000 troops to you?" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian couldn't help but be puzzled. With the style of the Dark Asura Palace, how could they do such a thing?

Chen Xuanji seemed to have expected Ye Hongjian to ask this question. He smiled faintly and gently stroked the withered tree beside him. His gaze was gentle as he murmured, "Because of the Half-step Immortal Realm Yama in charge of Chen Country."

"It's called Yan Yanyan."
