Reborn 80,000 Years

Chapter 165 Marquis of Zhen Guo!

The guilt in Jiang Xu's eyes was not fake, but genuine, from the bottom of his heart. This also made Yang Chen's heart throb, a little curious, what happened in these thousands of years.

I only heard Jiang Xu say slowly:

"I have to talk about this matter when my father was in power. Back then, when my father pacified the country and established the Qingfeng Empire, it was not smooth sailing. Because the country was just stabilized, it was inevitable that some people would be dissatisfied, so there were often uprisings in the country. The army is rebelling, and the Great Ye Empire is blazing abroad, violating our Qingfeng frontier one after another!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen nodded.

The Daye Empire and the Qingfeng Empire had always been at odds, and he knew about it. In fact, he could already see the clue from Guda's alchemy branch.

When Jiang Xu said this, there was resentment on his face: "It's just that at that time, my father was guarding the country, and the border was guarded by Lord Zhen Guohou, so after the Daye Empire was arrogant for a while, I knew it was not my Qingfeng. The opponent also stopped."

"However, Lord Zhen Guohou believed that the Great Ye Empire's wolfish ambitions must be guarded against. So he found my father, hoping that he would hand over the military talisman, give him military power, and let him destroy the Great Ye Empire with one blow!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen was slightly taken aback, and frowned, "Wait a minute! What do you mean by that?"

"If I remember correctly, the world of mortals should have explicitly prohibited wars among the vassal states of the mainland, right?"

Hearing this, Qingfeng Taizu took over the conversation and said, "Teacher, I don't know. Although the current mainland is ruled by the Red Dust Fairy in name, in fact, she has gone to retreat after 50 years in charge of the mainland. The current mainland is ruled by his son!"

son?

The Red Dust Fairy has a son?

Hearing this, Yang Chen was a little surprised.

"And after his son came to power, the rule of the mainland is not as strict as that of the mortals, especially for our small countries, he will not ask too many questions, and let us fend for ourselves." Qingfeng Taizu said slowly.

Hearing this, Yang Chen nodded.

I only heard Jiang Xu continue to say: "The Marquis of Zhen Guo asked my father to ask for a military talisman. In fact, he wanted to agree. But at that time, because of me, I always thought that Marquis Zhen Guo was a traitor of the former court, so I was very disgusted with him. , I strongly oppose the handing over of the military talisman by the father!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Xu also shed two lines of tears on his face, and said bitterly:

"I regret it back then!"

"If I didn't have a fever at the time, maybe there would be no such incident!"

Jiang Xu wept bitterly.

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but frowned, and said impatiently: "What happened afterwards? Tell me quickly!"

"Later... not long after, my father passed away."

"And after losing my royal father, as Zhen Guohou said, the wolf ambitions of the Daye Empire have risen again!" Jiang Xu gritted his teeth and said: "They have attacked my Qingfeng Empire time and time again, and they have been there for decades. After recuperating energy, the Daye Empire has flourished and its soldiers are strong! Moreover, Marquis Zhen is old and almost defeated every year, my Qingfeng Empire will never regain its former glory!"

Jiang Xu sighed and regretted, "Later, the Daye Empire occupied three cities on our frontier. I have negotiated with them several times, but they always use excuses to shirk and refuse to return them!"

"It wasn't until half a month later that the Daye Empire finally let go and proposed a condition..." Jiang Xu opened his mouth and said in an extremely difficult manner.

"What conditions?"

"Kill Zhen Guohou!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen's face instantly turned ugly.

There is also a strong anger in the eyes.

"Later, you agreed?" Yang Chen asked coldly, and he swore that if this guy really nodded and said he agreed, then he would just get up and leave without worrying about this mess!

"No... I didn't promise it!"

"It's Zhen Guohou! Zhen Guohou agreed!"

Jiang Xu wailed, the tears on his face were uncontrollable.

Hearing this, Yang Chen's body also shook, revealing a deep sadness.

"Although Zhen Guohou is a minister of the former court, he has made great contributions to our Qingfeng Empire after all. Those past events are just that I was ignorant when I was young. After I became the throne, I have already regarded him as my right arm and right arm. How can I bear him? ?”

"So, I flatly rejected the request of the Daye Empire. But that night, Zhen Guohou found me and offered to agree to the other party's request. He was willing to exchange his head for the safety of the people in the three cities!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Xu suddenly became a little crazy, and gestured: "He used such a long sword to kill himself in front of me! He killed himself! The blood... flowed all over the place! I called the imperial doctor to save him , but it can’t be saved, wow!”

"Do you know how I felt at that time? I saw my subordinates with my own eyes, wiped their faces in front of me and killed themselves, and exchanged my own life for the safety of the people! But... as a majestic nine-five-year-old man, I can't save him!"

"Senior, can you understand this feeling?"

Jiang Xu cried so hard that his face was full of sadness.

A deep remorse and self-blame filled the air. Even after he died and fell into the ground, this feeling still followed his soul, making him sleepless and sleepless at night!

"and after?"

Yang Chen asked softly.

"Later, Marquis Zhen Guo left a letter asking me to take good care of his son. This is the last blood of Marquis Zhen Guo, and I have always regarded him as my own son..."

"However, what makes me feel the most guilty is that Zhen Guohou said that in order to avoid the suspicion of the Daye Empire, I hope that I can suppress Zhen Guohou's lineage in the days to come!"

"Let's say to the outside world that he is the Marquis of the Kingdom who has too much power and deliberately conspired against him. I...beheaded by the knife!"

This is where the story ends.

But the three of them felt a little uncomfortable.

Even Yang Chen gently closed his eyes.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the eyes.

The great chivalrous man deserves to be the Marquis of Zhen Guo!

He is the one who truly puts the people in his heart.

Yang Chen could imagine the scene at that time, an old general over seventy years old...

With a stooped body.

Donning his armor one last time...

Putting his sword on for the last time...

It is also the last time to take a look at his beloved Wanli Rivers and Mountains...

Then he walked in front of the king he had followed all his life, for the common people of the world, for the common people...

He killed himself with the sword that had killed countless enemies.

"This is why no matter how much you suppress the Ling family, you still retain the position of Marquis of the Kingdom..."

Yang Chen sighed suddenly, as if he had overturned the mixed feelings in his heart, not the taste.
