Infinity Throne

Daqian Dynasty.

In the eighteenth year of Jisheng calendar, March 3rd.

It's cold in spring, but everything comes in spring.

early morning,

The night frost melted early and turned into morning dew, and fresh green buds squeezed out of the moist soil.

"Boo~"

Then soon, these green shoots were uprooted by a young man with a kind smile.

"Junior sister, you see, these are called vegetable seedlings. If you pull them out before they are fully grown, even if they are simply boiled and cooked, they will have a fresh taste. The moment you enter the mouth, the taste of nature will instantly touch every taste bud on your tongue. Conquer. This is in line with the old saying, 'Top-quality ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods'. Junior sister, do you understand?"

After sleeping outdoors all night, Yi Lin took Xia Xiaoman with her. The two got up early to wash up and scoured the mountains and fields for ingredients to prepare breakfast.

Not long ago, there was an innocent little snake who slept in a daze all winter. Spring had just arrived, and just when the snake was about to show its sinful fangs to the world, it was kicked by Yilin, including the snake and its nest, and it turned into a snake. The snake meat is rolled into rolls, marinated and ready to be put into the pot.

"Okay, let's just have a simple meal today, we still have to travel."

Yi Lin clapped her hands and decided to have a simple breakfast.

…

A quarter of an hour later.

Yi Lin, Jian Nanchun, and Xia Xiaoman were having breakfast around the campfire.

Today's breakfast is "snake meat stew pot with sprouts".

Yi Lin and Xia Xiaoman squatted on the side, huffing and puffing and almost finished eating. They saw Jian Nanchun put down the small bowl with a sigh, looking listless - he only drank one bowl of soup the whole time.

Seeing Jian Nanchun's cowardice, Yi Lin and Xia Xiaoman knew it well and didn't bother to ask more questions.

For no other reason than Chao Rushuang ran away again.

As soon as Chao Rushuang stepped out of the fairy island and arrived at the coast of the East China Sea, he made a request to go to the Black Wind Sand Sea alone.

Of course, these words were whispered to Yi Lin. Jian Nanchun still knew nothing about Chao Rushuang's secret and was kept in the dark.

Yilin is more rational than human, so she should follow Chao Rushuang and return to the Black Wind Sand Sea to complete her "main mission". After all, there is a stone tablet in the black wind and sand sea that was broken by a heavy building. Assuming that Xiao Xi had anticipated this situation five thousand years ago, it is very likely that the content recorded on the wordless sky tablet temporarily existed in some unique way. Chonglou's body.

However, Xia Xiaoman rushed towards Qingdu in a hurry as soon as he got off the mountain, which made Yilin a little worried about letting her junior sister return to Qingdu alone.

Finally, Chao Rushuang left alone with his sword.

To be honest, Yi Lin was not afraid of Zhao Rushuang's tricks.

There is a saying that secrets are the cornerstone of trust between two people.

Sharing secrets can bring two people closer...unless they fall out.

Chao Rushuang revealed her biggest secret, and Yi Lin can still trust Chao Rushuang.

At that time, Jian Nanchun originally wanted to follow him shamelessly, but after Yi Lin displayed one hundred and eight "chain self-destruction flying swords" in one go and surrounded Jian Nanchun, Jian Nanchun, who knew the power of this set of magic weapons, could only be convinced in the end.

…

After a simple breakfast.

Xia Xiaoman quickly cleaned the pots and pans by the stream, put them in his own ring, then stood up and urged: "Senior brother, Qingdu is not far from here, let's get on the road quickly! Don't waste time!"

Yi Lin looked at her junior sister calmly.

He knew his junior sister very well and knew that although Xia Xiaoman didn't show it on her face, in her heart she must be anxious to return to Qingdu as soon as possible.

Because usually junior sister never takes the initiative to wash the dishes.

The reason is that simple.

In fact, it is also possible for Yi Lin to open the portal and directly come to Qingdu as a king.

But Yi Lin didn't do that.

First, he was afraid that the positioning would be inaccurate and accidentally open the wormhole in a place it shouldn't be. Second, he felt that Xia Xiaoman was not ready yet.

On the way here from the coast of the East China Sea,

Although they are all moving in the air,

But they have a clear view of the human condition.

The war... began.

The origin of the war must start from the beginning of the founding of Daqian.

Partly to continue the customs of the previous dynasty, and secondly to stabilize the internal affairs, the founding emperor established the "vassal system". In other words, within the Daqian Dynasty, there were four vassal kings in the east, west, south and north, which was equivalent to a country within a country.

These four vassal kings were either relatives of the emperor or generals who had made great military exploits in the early days of the founding of the country.

During the hundreds of years of the Daqian Dynasty, only the Zhennan King faction had completely changed. However, the "former King of Zhennan" was on the wrong team when Emperor Xia Yuan came to the throne, and his entire family was uprooted. That's why the current King of Zhennan - Xia Xingchen.

Except for King Zhennan, the other three vassal kings are inextricably linked to the Daqian Dynasty. They are: Pingxi King, Zhengbei King, and Zhidong King.

In the seventeenth year of the reign of the Daqian Dynasty, the four vassal kings, each in the name of "royal orthodoxy", almost in no particular order, raised their troops at the same time and marched towards Qingdu.

Along the way, the armies of the four vassal kings captured military fortresses and dangerous areas. They blocked the roads and used them to transport armaments. At the same time, they planted flags to enclose the land. In a safe way, they surrounded the center from the outside, hoping to gradually annex it. Daqian, the country of Daqian changed its owner.

Many cities with "Qian" flags secretly replaced them with their respective east, west, north and south flags.

Take for example Xia Xingchen, the king of Zhennan whom Yi Lin is most familiar with.

Although Xia Xingchen was in charge of the thirteen provinces in the deserted south, in the final analysis, these thirteen provinces were just "administrations". Those stationed in them were always Daqian's city-defending troops, and the people who commanded these city-defending troops were also Daqian's people.

When the King of Zhennan raised his troops, waved his "Southern King" flag, and marched northward, some generals stubbornly resisted, and some surrendered decisively. In addition, long-term operations require a continuous supply of supplies from the rear. This tug-of-war So far, it has been going on for a whole year.

The strength of each vassal king cannot be generalized. King Zhennan manages the thirteen provinces in the south of the wasteland, covering a vast territory. And King Pingxi, who has the smallest sphere of influence, is backed by a sea of ​​black wind and sand. Not to mention "inhabited", there is really not even half a person.

But this huge territory in the black wind and sand sea was also counted on King Pingxi, so that he only had four provinces that could actually produce resources. This made King Pingxi sound famous, but in fact he was extremely poor.

Every time the four kings get together, King Pingxi is at the bottom of the contempt chain, and he has been deeply resentful for many years.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. And war is the same.

The four kings had grudges and each had their own agenda. The owners of many of the king's cities seemed to be incompatible with each other; coupled with the weakness of the royal family and the coexistence of internal and external troubles, it was natural for the war to break out.

Yi Lin seemed very calm and indifferent on this road.

But Xia Xiaoman didn't think so.

As soon as she heard the news about the crisis of the Daqian Dynasty, she rushed out of the teacher's school with a fever, regardless of whether it was against the rules or not.

It was precisely because of several years of getting along that Yi Lin knew that Xia Xiaoman was a straightforward person with no scheming intentions, so she was worried about her returning to Qingdu alone.

Back then, she shaved her head and ran away in embarrassment. Even if she becomes a golden elixir monk now, can she change the overall situation when she goes back?

…

…

Three days later.

The three of them arrived outside Qingdu.

Along the official road, there are many checkpoints.

Caravans and pedestrians coming and going need a warrant before they can pass.

In order to keep a low profile, several people got off the Feijian skateboard and walked instead when they were hundreds of miles away.

After walking for a while, Xia Xiaoman felt that walking was too slow, so they spent money to buy a good horse in a village and rode on horseback.

The three of them arrived at the checkpoint closest to Qingdu and stopped.

Jian Nanchun's face showed a hint of waning interest. He raised his eyelids and pointed at the sky: "Or fly in?"

Xia Xiaoman looked at the groups of elite armored soldiers patrolling back and forth in the distance, blocking the road. After she carefully identified the style of the armor, she couldn't help but frown and said, "Is it the Shenwu Army?"

Yi Lin: "What's so special?"

Xia Xiaoman replied: "The military power and internal affairs of the Daqian Dynasty are divided into two parts. The military power is controlled by the commander-in-chief of the six armies, who controls the tiger talisman and gives orders to the six armies. The internal affairs of the Daqian Dynasty are controlled by the left and right prime ministers."

Yi Lin shook his head: "Internal affairs are not important. Well... let's talk about military power."

Xia Xiaoman continued: "Under the commander-in-chief of the six armies, there are six generals, who are in charge of the six armies. These six armies are: Shenwu, Baizhan, Yingyou, Tiangong, Assault, and Liaoyuan. Among the six armies, The Shenwu Army is mainly responsible for the affairs of the inner city, but why are they now setting up posts outside Qingdu City?"

Yi Lin thought for a while and asked, "Is the problem big?"

Xia Xiaoman took a breath lightly: "Senior brother, I don't know, General Shenwu, but when he followed my father to quell the civil strife, he had a violent temper. In the past, even if the commander wanted to mobilize his troops, he had to persuade him nicely. Otherwise, he would be kicked out of the hall. In the past, if his Shenwu Army was transferred here to guard the road, he would definitely point his finger at the commander of the Sixth Army and scold him..."

Xia Xiaoman paused for a moment, deliberately lowered his voice, imitating the tone of the Shenwu General in his memory, and said vividly: "Fuck you, grandma, I'm using the Shenwu Army to defend Qingdu, how can it be used for it? Doing such a stupid thing?"

…

While the three of them were whispering,

A young squad leader, wearing iron armor, noticed three people riding horses in the distance, whispering to each other in a furtive manner.

Especially the young man in the middle who is pale and smiling, which makes people think that he is not a good person.

During the current war, we cannot allow lawless elements to sneak into Qingdu at will.

So the squad leader directly held the sword without unsheathing it and walked towards the three of them with an unkind expression:

"Where are you from? Do you have a warrant?"

Xia Xiaoman was suddenly so nervous that his palms became sweaty, and he was confused for a moment. Senior Brother Jian is not very reliable now, so Xia Xiaoman can only treat Yi Lin as his backbone and asks in a low voice: "Brother, what should we do? Should we use the same trick as before?"

That move?

Yi Lin was stunned. When did he have "that move"?

But he didn't think much about it. He shook his head speechlessly, pointed to the towering and strict continuous city wall at the end of the official road, and asked with a smile: "Although I don't know why you escaped from there four years ago, but tell me, Where is that place?”

"Qingdu."

"Where is Qingdu?"

Xia Xiaoman's expression was slightly stunned. He didn't understand what his senior brother meant by asking: "Qingdu...it's Qingdu!"

Yi Lin reached out and rubbed junior sister's hair out of habit: "That's your home. Do you need to go through so much trouble to get home? Don't forget your noble status."

After a pause, Yi Lin smiled slightly under Xia Xiaoman's astonished eyes: "Princess, go home~"
