In the spring of the second year of the New Calendar, Fan Lingyue of Northern Mongol Royal Court led his army to attack outside Yan Returning City. Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses surrounded him but refused to attack, leaving Great Xia officials confused for a moment.
Reinforcements from Great Xia continued to gather from all directions, and supplies and soldiers rushed towards Yan Returning City in a mighty manner.
Three days later, Xia Emperor woke up and took charge of the government again. He looked at the battle reports sent from the north and the west every moment, and his old eyes became even more cold and ruthless.
Ten days later, a thunderbolt struck the entire Great Xia again, shocking the whole court. Yan Returning City was destroyed overnight, and none of the 170,000 soldiers survived. Northern Martial Marquis was also seriously injured and comatose, and was missing.
This was a huge earthquake, and the people, no matter how much they believed that Great Xia would not be defeated, began to panic.
Among Qinghe City, Changsun was startled at first when she heard the news, and then became furious. She had clearly handed the letter to Xia Emperor, but Xia Emperor did nothing.
Yan Returning City was broken, and Northern Mongol Royal Court's 300,000-strong army directly chose to massacre the city. In just half a day, millions of civilians were slaughtered cleanly, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.
The order was given by Military Advisor, and the ruthless instructions made several generals feel cold all over.
Half a day later, the 300,000-strong army set off directly without any stop at Yan Returning City.
In the west of Great Xia, Xiling City was missing from Blood-clothed Marquis. Finally, after Yan Returning City was broken, it was attacked by the heavy cavalry of the divine cult. The dismounted heavy cavalry of the divine cult was still strong and invincible. Xiling City was defeated without any suspense.
The unstoppable Northern Mongolian army and the heavy cavalry of the Divine Religion were unstoppable and unstoppable. For a time, Great Xia north and west, all life was in ruins.
Under multiple pressures, civil strife broke out in the Great Xia territory. Three cities raised their flags and rebelled, and war broke out in the Great Xia realm.
Internal and external troubles broke out at the same time, and the thousand-year-old dynasty was approaching its twilight years.
In front of the Northern Mongolian Army, Fan Lingyue looked at the sky above Great Xia Imperial City from a distance. The majestic and unshakable purple luck in the past was now rapidly falling apart. No matter how powerful the dynasty was, it would not be able to escape the long river of time.
The war horses neighed, and the pass was difficult to stop. The iron cavalry of Northern Mongolia not only looked down on the world in terms of number but also combat power, and they were invincible.
One hundred thousand cavalry, plus two hundred thousand elite soldiers, all under the control of Fan Lingyue, are gradually encroaching on Great Xia's northern territory.
Qinghe City, Marquis Ping'an was also ordered to go north three days ago, taking Qinghe City's remaining 150,000 soldiers. Now Qinghe City only has less than ten thousand guards left.
The war situation in the north of Great Xia was too critical. The fall of Yan Returning City dealt a heavy blow to Great Xia. One hundred and seventy thousand soldiers and millions of civilians were all massacred in less than a day and night, which plunged the entire Great Xia into a state of heavy depression and sadness.
In Marquis Qinghe's house, Ning Chen was still unconscious on the bed. Changsun fed all the remaining three Heaven-Revolving Pill in Marquis Qinghe's house to the former, relying on the violent power of the medicine to hang on to the life that could no longer be sustained.
Changsun's domineering attitude is always evident unintentionally. If she doesn't let him die, he can't die even if his life is worse than death.
Since the fall of Yan Returning City, Changsun has no intention of returning to the palace. Now Xia Emperor has gone crazy and actually watched 170,000 soldiers and millions of lives die under the butcher knife of Northern Mongol Royal Court.
Qing Ling would transfuse his own blood back into Ning Chen's body every day. For this reason, the shopkeeper of Du'an Pharmacy in the Imperial City was also taken over by Changsun. Both of them had seen Ning Chen use this method before. Although they didn't know if it would work, they had to give it a try.
Only Qing Ling received blood transfusions, and Changsun did not dare to let others try. She remembered that Ning Chen said at the time that the more people who received blood transfusions, the greater the risk of accidents.
Ning Chen's body has been completely destroyed by the violent medicinal power of three Heaven-Revolving Pill. Regeneration and destruction are constantly changing. The regeneration stimulated by the medicinal power at one moment will be destroyed by more violent medicinal power at the next moment.
Changsun looked at Ning Chen's miserable appearance. He felt uncomfortable but also blamed himself. When Xia Emperor sent Prince Yan When recalled the palace, she noticed something was wrong. Although the rumors in the imperial city and the letters from the four Confucian officials made Xia Emperor suspicious, they did not embarrass Prince Yan too much.
Since then, the purpose of those who spread these messages has become too suspicious.
Since it is not to deal with Prince Yan, then the real target of letting Prince Yan leave is most likely Ning Chen.
The suspicion in her Jiang Xin sent someone to inform Prince Yan, and Prince Yan, who was under house arrest in the palace by Xia Emperor, immediately left the palace without saying a word after receiving the warning. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late.
Neither she nor Prince Yan thought that the person behind the plan would be Military Advisor from Northern Mongol Royal Court, nor did they expect that Fan Lingyue thought so highly of Ning Chen that he directly sent the innate first disciple of Northern Mongolia, Four Noted Swords.
Everyone understands this truth, but Military Advisor from Northern Mongolia did not think so. He would not hesitate to kill a chicken, but Ning Chen would definitely die.
Great Xia Heavenly Edict Hall, Xia Emperor sat high on the throne, looking at the battle reports coming from their hands, with low expressions and not saying a word.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yu City Lord has been acting strangely recently and seems to be rebellious." In the main hall, a black figure appeared and knelt down and said respectfully.
"Okay, okay, very good!" The gloominess in Xia Emperor's eyes seemed to be watery, and he said three good words in a row. In the fourth city, he really raised a lot of "loyal and trustworthy ministers"!
"Continue to check for me and see which other cities are to be rebelled against!" Xia Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes" Dark Shadow Guard responded respectfully and left immediately.
Dark Shadow Guard left, Xia Emperor slowly closed his eyes, and said softly, "Pei Liang, is there any movement from the Western Palace?"
Upon hearing Xia Emperor's inquiry, a haggard old eunuch walked out and said hoarsely, "Nothing has happened yet!"
Xia Emperor nodded and continued to ask, "Empress What's going on over there?"
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager has not come out since he returned to Qinghe City's palace. It seems that he has no plans to return to the palace for the time being," Eunuch Pei replied matter-of-factly.
Xia Emperor sighed softly, "She is blaming me."
After saying that, Xia Emperor opened his eyes, looked at the old eunuch beside him who had been with him for more than forty years, and said in a deep voice, "Pei Liang, do you think what I did was right or wrong?"
Eunuch Pei is already very old, his face is full of wrinkles, and he is emaciated. However, when he heard Xia Emperor's words, his expression remained as expressionless as ever. He replied, "His Majesty is the emperor of Great Xia, and what Xia Emperor does is always right!"
"Haha" Xia Emperor laughed, with a hint of madness in his eyes, and said domineeringly, "Yes, I am the emperor of Great Xia, and I will never be wrong. I want to see how these young people can swallow my True Dragon!"
Eunuch Pei said nothing, took a few steps back, and silently returned to the darkness.
In the cold Heavenly Edict Hall, Xia Rui's crazy laughter still vaguely echoed.
Xia Rui, the Xia Dynasty First Prince of the past, and the contemporary Xia Emperor of today, after tearing off the cowardly and cautious coat, it was like a different person, so terrifying, so crazy.
The letter I picked up that day is still on the desk in front of Xia Rui. Who would have thought that this simple letter would carry the lives of Great Xia Yan Returning City's 170,000 soldiers and millions of civilians.
Xia Rui didn't do anything, just let the city be destroyed and people die. He was waiting for an opportunity.
"Come here, please leave the palace!"
"Yes"
Half a day later, Xia Emperor left the palace and took three thousand guards to Qihua Mountain to pray for the soldiers who died in the battle.
The news of Xia Emperor leaving the palace spread faster than a flying pigeon. In this world, there is a secret method that ordinary people can't imagine. One can travel thousands of miles with astonishing speed.
Xia Emperor Leaving the palace is a big event. Qihua Mountain is located to the west of Great Xia, about three hundred miles away from the imperial city. If you are in a hurry, you can reach it in less than three days.
Three thousand miles of imperial guards stood ready to escort Xia Emperor all the way westward, and finally arrived at Qihua Mountain successfully on the third day.
Xia Emperor climbed to the top to reach the rooftop, followed by Eunuch Pei and five Dark Dragon Guard. Below, three thousand guards blocked all possible paths.
However, the most unexpected thing happened. A half-step innate and eight Ninth-Grade Peak strong men climbed up from the side of the Qihua Mountain cliff and suddenly appeared, leaving everyone present without time to react.
Half a day later, the news came out that Xia Emperor was assassinated and seriously injured and fell off a cliff, shocking the world.
Originally, people in the world still had doubts. However, after Three Grand Ministers came out to supervise the court again, all doubts disappeared.
Everyone knows that Great Xia Three Grand Ministers is not allowed to interfere in government affairs unless it is absolutely necessary. This has been Great Xia's rule for thousands of years.
Except for the half-step innate, none of the nine assassins survived. However, the surviving half-step innate returned to Jiang Yu City to confirm the news that Xia Emperor fell off the cliff, and then died.
Since then, it has become an undoubted fact that Xia Emperor fell off the cliff.
Great Xia was in chaos. This time even Three Grand Ministers couldn't suppress it. After Jiang Yu City, three cities rebelled again. At this point, the Seven Cities Rebellion officially kicked off.
As powerful as Great Xia is, in such a situation of internal and external troubles, it is finally showing signs of stagnation, and the collapse of the millennium Great Xia seems to be unstoppable.
No one thought that there would be so many hidden dangers within Great Xia. Great Xia had been invincible for thousands of years. No one would think that this huge dynasty would collapse, let alone such stupid things as raising troops to rebel.
In the end, the people of Great Xia still underestimated the terrible temptation that power can bring. Great Xia will die, and the secretly ambitious people finally can't wait any longer.
On this day, Qinghe City, Ning Chen of Great Xia woke up, with gray hair on their heads, lying on the bed, and moved their fingers slightly.
At the same moment, A'man, who was far away from the Barbarian Dynasty, seemed to feel something and moved his fingers.
The Rhombus Crystal Flower planted from the heart essence and blood connects the hearts of the two people. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they cannot block this feeling.
The same look of joy appeared on the tired faces of Barbarian King and Changsun. Their sleepless days in recent days finally paid off.
However, the difference is that Barbarian King is happy but also distressed, while Changsun is happy but also angry.
She protected him time and time again, even going against Xia Emperor's will, but he didn't know how to cherish her!
