Traveling through the heavens starting from the golden years

However, Xiao Xu's actions after he ascended the throne were indeed benevolent. He always cared for Xiao Yan and never blamed or embarrassed him. This relationship alone is enough to show that Xiao Xu was rebellious or had no choice but to feel guilty and regretful about that incident.

Now Xiao Xu is indeed at the end of his rope, and Xiao Yan really wants to kill this person. But if you really want to kill him, isn't Xiao Yan the same person who killed the elders of his family? Except for this one major crime, Xiao Xu was not only innocent of all his other crimes, but he could also be called a rare wise and benevolent king.

I have a big plan for my birthday next week. If Jiangnan continues to be chaotic and uncertain, it will be delayed.

After crying bitterly for a long time, Xiao Xu couldn't help but fell to the ground, hugged Zhou Shengchen's legs and cried: "If it were not for my king, Xiao Yan would not be able to avenge him. I was originally furious, but now I feel like I am drifting in the wind and rain. The candlelight. My king's kindness is a hundred times that of Xiao Xu, how could I dare to disobey him? Xiao Xu deserved to die for his crime, but he should still live. Jiaozhi should be leveled, so it is appropriate for him to go. Xiao Yan knew that he was reckless, so it was all because of my king. It’s my command to obey!”

After Zhou Shengchen waited for his mood to stabilize, he took his arm and stood up together. The two walked to a high place and looked at the valley in the night.

Inside the valley were Xiao Xu's soldiers and horses, and there were also a few bonfires flickering at this time. The stars in the sky reflected the bonfires, and Zhou Shengchen sighed again and said: "Xiao Xu was generous to the people in Jiangnan, and we also gave him a way to survive. Now that we are in trouble, we can order him to go."

Xiao Yan immediately accepted the order.

In the dim sky, Xiao Xu and others were also convening a meeting with important people. There are two main points: where to break through, and whether to surrender.

They argued for a long time, but they did not reach a unified opinion. Because it's obvious that everything they say now is bullshit. Their destiny is no longer under their control, this is an undoubted fact. The reason why they are still talking a few words is just to maintain their own face.

The argument was of course fruitless. Xiao Xu stood up sadly and looked at the mountains in the distance. Under the countless flags over there was Zhou Shengchen, especially the aura that represented Xiao Yan's anger.

Xiao Xu shook his head helplessly, thinking about the royal family battles in the past, his heart tightened. It was a life-and-death struggle. Xiao Xu, who was ambitious and ambitious, succeeded in a sneak attack and seized the throne.

He fulfilled his promise and treated the common people mercifully, making Jiangnan a gradually prosperous area. At the same time, he was accompanied by many years of fear, anxiety, and guilt.

Xiao Xu is fine now. Xiao Yan invited Zhou Shengchen to surround him, which made him have the idea of ​​​​complete atonement - to respond with destruction.

While they were thinking wildly, the remaining defeated generals in the encirclement, including Xiao Xu, were surprised and delighted to see a horse approaching slowly from the far end of the valley.

Everyone knew that this was an envoy sent by Zhou Shengchen's side, and he must be discussing how to resolve the current dispute.

But as the knight approached, everyone saw a cavalry team slowly following behind him, and they couldn't help but become nervous.

Some people were in a hurry to prepare for the battle, while others were closely guarding Xiao Xu. But everyone knows that whether they live or die, the final moment of their fate has arrived.

The knight came forward at a steady speed, and another cavalryman behind him suddenly raised a large flag with the words "Xiao Nanchen Wang Zhousheng" on it!

The soldiers on Xiao Xu's side were immediately horrified, and their exclamations from small to large were all gathered together: "He, he came in person!"

After secretly breathing, Xiao Xu, who had the demeanor of a king after all, waved his hand, and everyone fell silent one after another. Gathering up his courage, Xiao Xu also rode forward and everyone followed him from a distance.

Xiao Xu rode forward for hundreds of steps, and sure enough he saw clearly that the person coming was none other than Zhou Shengchen, whom he had met before. Under the cold and stern aura of the other party, Xiao Xu almost subconsciously raised his hands and saluted, and said first: "Nan Xiao Xiao Xu, I would like to greet His Highness Prince Xiao Nanchen."

Nodding, Zhou Shengchen reined in the horse. The mount neighed slightly, as if it was slightly dissatisfied that it was not running as fast as it could.

Just when Xiao Xu was about to praise his heroic demeanor, he saw the flag bearer behind him slowly approaching. When the two faced each other, Xiao Xu immediately blushed: this flag bearer was his nephew Xiao Yan.

Tears fell immediately, and Xiao Xu said sincerely: "Yan, I am indeed guilty, but I do have sincere feelings for you."

Xiao Yan also had mixed emotions, shedding several lines of tears, but still shouted in a low voice: "How can personal love, or even world affairs, extinguish the anger in my heart?"

Xiao Xu immediately lowered his head and did not dare to talk.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Xiao Yan and then at Zhou Shengchen. With a miserable expression, Xiao Xu said: "King Xiao Nanchen went south to avenge my nephew, but more importantly, he wanted to get the land and people in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiao Xu will do anything for the sake of the people. , I just hope that Your Highness will still treat the people of Jiangnan with a kind heart."

After that, Xiao Xu took off his robe and dismounted shirtless. With his hands behind his back, he prostrated himself under Zhou Shengchen's horse, then bowed his head and said: "The fault lies with Xiao Xu alone, not with the people of Jiangnan. I beg His Highness to show mercy and order Xiao Xu to die quickly!"

After his words and deeds like this, all his soldiers burst into tears, and then they all fell to the ground and begged for Xiao Xu's forgiveness.

After Zhou Shengchen looked around indifferently, he then looked at Xiao Xu beside the horseshoe and said, "I know that you have always treated the people with benevolence and will not make things difficult for you. As for your life or death, it will be decided by my military advisor."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yan couldn't help crying anymore. Later, he handed the big flag in the hands of the guard next to him, gritted his teeth, and got off the horse to the ground.

Arriving in front of Xiao Xu, Xiao Yan hesitated again and again, then reached out to hold the other person's arm and pulled him up from the ground.

This action of the uncle and nephew immediately received loud cheers from countless soldiers on both sides present. Naturally, Wang Jun cheered for Xiao Yan, and the soldiers there all shouted, "Thank you, King Xiao Nanchen, for your kindness, and thank you, King Fengyang, for your mercy!"

After standing up, Xiao Xu still didn't dare to raise his head and look at each other. Xiao Yan was filled with emotion and could only hold back his sadness and said silently: "Seeing that you are kind-hearted after all, my king ordered you to go and guard Jiaozhi County. All your children will be sent to the north, and you will never be able to marry or have children in this life. If you can do this, You can live your life peacefully."

Xiao Xu still felt unbelievable. He looked at his nephew and then looked up at Zhou Shengchen on the dragon colt.

First he handed over his hand, and then bowed again and said: "King Xiao Nanchen's kindness is boundless, so that my uncle and nephew will no longer commit sins. Xiao Xu originally wanted to die to avenge his brother's death, but since King Xiao Nanchen has appointed him, I can only obey. , to atone for sin!”

Zhou Shengchen then said: "Please also ask Governor Xiao to issue an order to calm the people before going to Jiaozhi County."

Xiao Xu immediately agreed, took the pen and ink handed by the guard next to him, and wrote an edict to sin against himself, abdicate, and calm the people.
