Northern Mongolia's capture of Jialing City was beyond everyone's expectations. This was not a very important city, so the defense was relatively weak. The intentions of Northern Mongolia's Military Advisor were really unpredictable.
The rebellions in many cities were also true and false, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the truth. When the news that Third Prince failed to force the palace came out, the rebels from all walks of life had been fighting with the defenders for several days.
The flames of rebellion almost burned through the entire dynasty, making Great Xia, which was already short of major generals, even more stretched, making it difficult to take care of both the beginning and the end.
In Northfall City, Marquis Taiping and Blood-clothed Marquis are in a dilemma. The total number of troops in Northfall City is only 70,000. They can defend the city. If they go out to meet the enemy, they will soon be completely crushed by the iron hooves of the Northern Mongolian cavalry.
In the imperial city, after the 100,000 troops brought back by Qing Ling helped suppress the rebellion in the city, they immediately went north, led by Duke Jingwu personally, to block the Northern Mongolian offensive.
After that night, First Prince returned home and never came out again. Changsun also returned to the Weiyang Palace and no longer interfered in any government affairs.
Almost all those who supported the Great Xia situation in the past have withdrawn from the stage of history, and Great Xia has entered a new era.
After Xia Mingri came to the throne, Ministry of Justice carried out a major clean-up, and all the officials at the top and bottom were replaced.
Ministry of Justice, in the west hall, Yin Wugou, who took off his red robe, looked at Imperial Edict lying quietly in front of him, silent and silent.
After a long time, Yin Wugou picked up the bloody Sword One sword in his hand and cut off a row of Hongzhu on the table. Suddenly, ten feet of red silk was ignited, and the fire rushed rapidly and burned crazily.
"Shang Han, the boss once gave me a different life. Now, he has fulfilled his promise, why can't I be happy?"
Seeing the burning ten-foot red silk igniting the entire west hall, Yin Wugou sighed softly and said.
"Sir, you have changed and become concerned."
Shang Han looked at the young master who had followed him all his life, and immediately persuaded him softly, "Sir, let's go, don't let the boss's good intentions go down."
"Yeah"
The two left, and the cold wind blew by, intensifying the fire. With a snap, Imperial Edict on the table fell to the ground and spread out, and then thirteen large characters were slowly revealed.
"Yin Wugou, the assassination of His Majesty is an unforgivable crime and is punishable by death!"
On the other side, in front of Kong Yu, there is also a Imperial Edict, "Red-Clad Guards Kong Yu, for his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, I am specially named Ministry of Justice Shaoqing, temporarily in charge of the affairs of the department, I hereby express my gratitude!"
Kong Yu loves power, but Yin Wugou is the complete opposite. He has long been fed up with it all. Therefore, Ning Chen has completely different arrangements for the two of them. This is also the last thing he can do for them.
Yin Wugou retired, Kong Yu came to power, and Ministry of Justice's changes are just a microcosm of the transformation of the imperial government. The replacement of the old with the new has become an irreversible fact.
After Duke Xiyu died, Three Grand Ministers was missing, but Xia Mingri never mentioned the matter of becoming an official. Everyone in the world knew who this position was reserved for. Unfortunately, there will never be this opportunity again.
In the imperial court, the historian became the most difficult person, but he did not dare to write down the final record of Marquis of Knowing Fate.
The three historians asked the Holy Father more than once to ask how to write it. However, the notes they submitted fell into disarray and there was no response.
Therefore, the record about Marquis of Knowing Fate only mentions the suppression of the rebellion that night, and nothing more after that.
Underworld Netherworld, Ghost Qi are dense, in a place that has not seen sunlight for many years. Prince Yan and Ghost Maiden looked at Ning Chen on the stone bed with silent expressions.
At the last moment, in order to protect Ning Chen's chance of survival, Ghost Maiden ate Yellow Springs Flower, the most poisonous flower in the world.
Yellow Springs Flower was born at the bottom of weak water. After a mortal takes it, his body will gradually decay and become immortal.
Yes, after eating Yellow Springs Flower, you will not be able to live or die.
Prince Yan used his true energy day and night to help Ning Chen resist the poison of Yellow Springs Flower, temporarily keeping the latter's body incorruptible, but this was not a long-term solution after all.
"Is there anything in the world that can cure Yellow Springs Flower's poison?" Prince Yan asked.
"No" Ghost Maiden shook his head.
Yellow Springs's poison has no cure, and it is precisely in this way that it can arbitrarily transform a dying person into a state of immortality.
Prince Yan was silent for a long time and then said, "I am going out for a trip and will be back soon. You take care of him."
"Senior, please don't worry." Ghost Maiden nodded in agreement.
Prince Yan left, Ghost Maiden stood beside the bed, stretched out his pale and slender hand, Ghost Qi filled the air, surrounding Ning Chen, and a trace of Yellow Springs's poison flew out, and immediately disappeared into Ghost Maiden's mouth.
Her words were not finished. Although there is no cure for the poison of Yellow Springs, there are people who can cure the poison of Yellow Springs.
However, Ning Chen now depends entirely on Yellow Springs Flower for life. Once the poison is removed, his life will be gone.
Half a day later, Prince Yan returned and brought back Nine Marvelous Separation-Reunion Flower.
"Senior, it's useless." Ghost Maiden shook his head.
Nine Marvelous Separation-Reunion Flower cannot regenerate the most important parts such as the internal organs and head. In Ning Chen's current situation, all the internal organs have been severely damaged by the sky fire. If they cannot be repaired, they can only hang on Yellow Springs Flower.
Prince Yan stepped forward and checked the situation of Ning Chen, but there was still no improvement, and there was only one breath left.
"If Yellow Springs Flower's power is fully released, he can survive, but"
At this point, Ghost Maiden did not continue, but in that case, Ning Chen would really become an immortal monster.
"Let him wake up and decide for himself."
Prince Yan sighed softly, and the sword finger condensed. The vast zhenqi pulled the Yellow Springs Flower in Ning Chen's body, quickly releasing the power of Yellow Springs.
At the same time, Ning Chen's whole body began to show signs of being eroded. Seeing this, Ghost Maiden opened his red lips slightly and sucked the excess power into his mouth.
A strange color flashed in Prince Yan's eyes, but it was nothing. He continued to help Ning Chen wake up.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a look of pain flashed across Ning Chen's face, his eyes slowly opened, and there was a dark, dead silence.
Prince Yan stopped and stood aside, waiting for the former to wake up.
After a while, Ning Chen came to his senses and wanted to move, but found that except for one right hand, his whole body could not move.
"Ning Chen"
Prince Yan opened his mouth, briefly explained the matter, and asked calmly, "Tell me your choice."
Ning Chen was silent for a long time, and Prince Yan did not urge him, but waited patiently.
"I choose to live." After a long time, Ning Chen spoke softly.
"You don't mind turning into a monster?" Prince Yan asked.
"No matter what!" Ning Chen confirmed.
"I respect your choice." Prince Yan nodded, and then continued, "From now on, you will stay in the underworld. I will try my best to help you find a cure, but don't have too much hope."
"Thank you, senior," Ning Chen said seriously.
Prince Yan left, Ghost Maiden picked up the Nine Marvelous Separation-Reunion Flower on the side, thought about it, and asked, "Can you give it to me?"
"Take it," Ning Chen said casually.
"Thank you. By the way, do you want to stand up?" Ghost Maiden asked.
"What's the price?" Ning Chen asked.
"The whole body is rotten" Ghost Maiden replied.
"No, that's fine." Ning Chen shook his head.
"Then I'll help you make a wheelchair," Ghost Maiden said.
"Thank you" Ning Chen thanked.
Half a day later, Ghost Maiden made a simple wheelchair and put Ning Chen on it as a means of transportation.
Although Yellow Springs Flower's power has not been fully released, Ning Chen's body still inevitably begins to show signs of corrosion. Whenever this happens, Ghost Maiden will help suck away the excess power, barely keeping the former from turning into a monster.
"Ghost Maiden, can you send me a letter?" Ning Chen said softly.
"If you have someone you are worried about, I can lend you the ghost sedan and you can get back before dawn," Ghost Maiden replied.
"No need, they will be even more worried when they see what I'm like now." Ning Chen shook his head.
Ghost Maiden No more, taking advantage of the night, left the underworld.
Ning Chen was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at his cracked and rotting right arm, silently. This was the only hand he could move, but it was also the fastest decaying part of his body.
It turns out that this is the feeling that life is worse than death.
Living has to pay a price, this is his choice, no one can blame him.
Great Xia Imperial Palace, in the gloomy Ghost Qi, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face appeared. Just as the patrolling Imperial Guards was about to stop him, he was knocked away by a powerful force.
There was no disagreement, because Ghost Maiden had no intention of talking at all, and kept going straight, heading in the direction of the Weiyang Palace.
Heavenly Edict Hall, a Imperial Guards quickly walked in to report. After Xia Mingri heard that the person who came was Ghost Maiden, he sighed softly, "No need to stop her, let her go."
The ghost sedan drove into the Weiyang Palace. Qing Ling was the first to sense it. His figure flashed and stood in front of him.
"It's you" Qing Ling looked shocked and lost his voice.
"This is his letter to you." In the ghost sedan, Ghost Maiden waved his delicate hand, and a stream of light flew out and swept towards the former.
Qing Ling took the letter and asked hurriedly, "How is he!"
"Read the letter yourself"
As he spoke, the ghost sedan left without stopping, and disappeared in an instant.
Qing Ling opened the letter in his hand and after reading it, tears flowed down unconsciously.
A few strokes, extremely simple, "I'm still alive, don't worry."
The familiar handwriting is reflected in the tears, but the only sentence is their greatest comfort.
Qing Ling came to Changsun's room, knocked on the door, and walked in.
The room was very dark, with only one candle burning. Changsun was sitting at the table, looking at Moon-shaped Jade Pendant in his hand. His eyes were bloodshot and dim. It was obvious that he had not slept for several days.
"Empress Dowager, he is still alive" Qing Ling placed the letter in front of Changsun and said softly.
Changsun was startled, looked at the handwriting in the letter, and after a moment, burst into tears.
Barbarian King Palace, A'man woke up and sat on the bed blankly. She could feel that he was still alive, so why was she still so uncomfortable in her heart.
Underworld Netherworld, Ghost Maiden came back, and after seeing Ning Chen's body rotting again, they immediately stepped forward and inhaled the Yellow Springs poison into their own bodies.
"Don't blame me for talking too much. It is impossible to recover your body. Moreover, as the poison erodes, you will gradually lose your self-consciousness and become a real living dead."
"Ha" Ning Chen smiled tiredly and said, "It sounds terrible. If this day comes, you can sink me under the weak water to avoid scaring others.">
