Chapter 77 Chapter Thirteen The Beautiful Woman I Loved Once

However, this kind of love entanglement, infatuated attachment, met with the raging flames of war is just like a small spring breeze in the wild fire, lost in this troubled world in a blink of an eye. After Mianchi guard Zhang Kui killed Tu Xingsun, he himself could not escape his fate on the battlefield. General Xiqi Yang Jian and several other generals took advantage of Zhang Kui's technique of Tu Xingsun to make Master Tu Xingsun afraid of leaving his grandson behind. Zhang Kui was trapped in the ground with the method of pointing the ground into steel, and then hammered into the ground with the magic pestle, hammering him to death deep in the ground, and Zhang Kui's wife Gao Lanying was also killed by Deng Chanyu, and finally reported to Tu Xingsun. Big Enmity.

At this point, Mianchi County, the last line of defense of Chaoge City, has also been defeated, and the Xiqi army is no longer hindered, pointing directly at Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. And Shang Tang's six hundred years of world will also draw a final rest here. Amidst the triumphant songs, Wu Huan returned to Chaoge City with the Xiqi troops. The most famous city in the Shang Dynasty was the birthplace of Wu Huan, and it was also a bustling world that he often visited when he was a child. Now, in the midst of the war between the two armies, the city is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. trace.

Contrary to the expectations of the Xiqi army, most of the famous generals in Chaoge City have withered, so this battle of defeating Zhou was not as tragic as expected. After only a few sporadic confrontations, the Xiqi army successfully attacked Enter Chaoge City. Looking at the prosperous world in the past, but now it has become ruins showing traces of beacon fire everywhere, anyone should be amazed. At this time, most of the palace of King Zhou had been destroyed.The Xiqi army has already taken control of some areas in Chaoge City, and only a few government troops are still stubbornly resisting.

Walking to the east side of Chaoge City, there is a square. Back then, Nezha used to pick meat here to repay his relatives, and committed suicide here to give the Dragon King of the East China Sea an explanation. Originally, this was the most prosperous place in the city, but now it was empty, and there was no one there. Looking at this desolate scene, Wu Huan also had mixed feelings in her heart. All of a sudden, a group of soldiers and horses rushing past roared by the side of the road. Wu Huan recognized that they were some lieutenants under Nezha's command. When those people saw Wu Huan, they yelled at him from their horses.

"Mr. Jiang's troops have found King Zhou. He is now in the Zhaixing Building in the west of the city. The army is besieging him. General Nezha and the others have already gone!" Among them was a lieutenant general who was quite familiar with Wu Huan. With a roar, he slowed down his horse riding. Wu Huan stepped forward, took the hand of the lieutenant general, and stepped on his horse with a kick. Then, the two rode a steed together and galloped towards the west of the city. When we reached the west of the city, we could see a large area of ​​buildings were on fire, and the tongues of flames were spitting out brilliantly in the sky, emitting white smoke that soared into the sky.

"This Zhaxing Building was originally a side hall for King Zhou to enjoy himself, but today it is the place where he died," said the deputy general, "According to the sergeant who found it, King Zhou brought his men from the palace to this place, and he put on a The crown and royal clothes, wearing the jewels and jewels of the Shang Dynasty, after going up to the Star Picking Tower, I asked my subordinates to pile up firewood downstairs, and the fire has already been lit." Wu Huan nodded, and looked at the soaring fire with emotion. Although the fire had been burning for a long time, because the row of palaces in the west of the city was too large and luxurious, it couldn't be burned out in a short time.

There are three floors in the Zhaixing Building, with carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely extravagant and extravagant. Although the fire was fierce, it only burned the first floor.On the outskirts of the Zhaixing Building, Chaoge city residents were already standing onlookers, and Jiang Ziya's troops also stood quietly in front of the thick smoke and fire. The expressions were mixed, some were sad because of the fall of the dynasty, some were angry when they thought of the tyranny of King Zhou, some were excited because the war was about to end, and some were sideways because of the unfortunate palace people who wailed in the flames.

Amidst the violent smoke, dust and flames, there was a man standing blankly on the top of the Star Picking Tower. In the faint smoke, one could see his tall and majestic stature, he was dressed in a king's crown, and his body was full of jewels and jade. , it was King Zhou, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty who overthrew the entire dynasty with one hand. Amidst the loud sound of burning, King Zhou suddenly sang loudly in the flames. The voice was shrill and loud, and came to everyone's ears one by one: "Misty dust and smoke, churning clouds and mists, the fire is as bright as a giant The day, sweeping like I go to the nine heavens! The flames, the sad clouds, the fire and the wind are like a rainstorm, I am the only one in the world, I am the only one! In a moment, everything in the world will be ashes, no matter what it is, it is a king, a fairy, a dog It's the sky, it will turn into ashes in a blink of an eye, what about the eternal foundation, what do you want even the giant palace in the sky, when it encounters fire, it will turn into red dust for thousands of miles, and the smoke will disappear... All ordinary old dreams will turn into rivers and flow eastward Walk……"

In the singing, I saw that the fire became more and more intense, burning up the pillars of the giant building, and with a loud "boom", the Star Picking Tower collapsed, and King Zhou was buried in the fire forever. But that shrill singing sound seemed to be alive, spreading far into the sky, lingering for a long time, and then gradually disappearing. The life of this licentious emperor finally came to an end in the flames. The six-hundred-year dynasty of Chengtang ended here, and Ji Fa, the "King of Wu" of the Zhou clan from Xiqi ascended the throne, officially opening another world of the Zhou Dynasty, which would become the famous Western Zhou Dynasty in the future.

The leader of Xiqi, "King Wu" Ji Fa, issued an order at this time. In addition to finding King Zhou's body from the ashes, he also ordered the whole city to find all the courtiers around King Zhou and deal with them together in the future.In Chaoge City, there was no joy of conquering the Shang Dynasty, but instead there was a chilling atmosphere of hunting and arresting. Wu Huan didn't like the chilling scenes of the sergeants searching from house to house on the street. He just wanted to pay tribute to this famous city on the night when the city was broken. The soldiers disappeared and hid in the alleys while walking aimlessly in the city.

Night gradually descended on Chaoge City in such a dilapidated atmosphere. Wu Huan walked from the west of the city to the east of the city, but in order to avoid the sergeants, she often changed directions, and at the end she no longer knew where she was. There are many places you think you are familiar with, but as long as you look at them from a different angle, they are extremely strange places. After walking through several alleys and crossing a deep ditch, what lies ahead is an alleyway that is so narrow that only one person can pass sideways. Wuhuan looked at the seemingly bottomless alley, thought for a while, and walked in sideways. In the darkness, it seems like you are walking through a long and bottomless tunnel, but when you look up, you can see a line of sky between the roofs on both sides. After walking like this for a while, when I reached the entrance of the alley, my eyes suddenly opened up. What caught my eye was actually a majestic palace. Wu Huan calculated the direction, and then looked at the surrounding scenery, knowing that he had gone the wrong way, and came to the Changming Palace of King Zhou. The Changming Palace was also the place where King Zhou had fun in the past, and according to his legend, the most lewd place for fun was here. With the destruction of Chaoge City, this row of luxurious halls has long since disappeared. There are no guards, no maids and eunuchs. Under the moonlight, Wu Huan strolled over, with a long shadow drawn behind her, and walked into the main hall. In the moonlight reflected from the window, the scenery inside the hall could be vaguely discerned.On the east side of the main hall is a huge pool, which is still smelling of wine at this moment. Beside the pool is a large man-made forest. There are still slices of meat hanging on a few branches, but the slices of meat have been rotten and emit bursts of smoke. the stench. Wine pool, meat forest! It turns out that this is the famous Jiuchi meat forest, an ugly place where King Zhou and his favorite concubines can't help but rejoice! Wu Huan looked at the deep wine pool with all kinds of emotions. Not far behind the wine pool stood a dozen huge copper pillars, which were the brutal torture tools used by King Zhou to roast and kill his courtiers: cannon fire. While sighing, at this time, an urgent warning gong sounded from "Kuang Kuang Kuang Kuang" in the distance. He heard that the sound was coming from the southwest. Wu Huan looked back vigilantly and knew that it was the warning from the Xiqi camp. The method is intended to warn people in the camp that there is a strong enemy invading. He walked towards the exit of the main hall under the moonlight, and within a few steps, the door of the main hall fell down with a "bang", as if someone had knocked it down with great force. Immediately afterwards, several swiftly moving black figures flashed in from the gate of the palace. Those black shadows came very quickly, and "huhuhu" headed towards Wuhuan's direction. Wuhuan cautiously crossed his hands and pressed them in front of him to prevent anyone from attacking him. At this moment, someone suddenly whispered softly: "God! You are a Sangyang Wuhuan!" Those black shadows ran all the way to Wu Huan before stopping. Although the moonlight was not bright, Wu Huan could recognize that the people in front of her were all slender women, all wearing gorgeous clothes from the palace. However, their female appearances are just illusions, and the light and shadow behind them are their real identities. Wu Huan took a closer look and couldn't help but get angry! These women are all ghosts, but their real identities are the three goblins of the Xuanyuan Tomb: the nine-tailed fox, the thousand-year-old pheasant, and the jade pipa spirit! When Wu Huan first saw these goblins, he was already displeased in his heart. The three goblins in Xuanyuan Tomb have never been a decent person. Back then, they had a lot to do with the death of Wu Huan's father. This forced Jiang Wukui to destroy the grotto. He glared at the three demons angrily, and was about to explode when he heard a soft voice coming from the darkness. "Wuhuan?" The voice was full of surprise, "Is it really you? Wuhuan?" For a long time, this voice once made the soulless dreams of the boyhood, and it was impossible to forget it for a day. Even after many years, I thought everything had been forgotten, but when the familiar voice came into it, Wuhuan was still shocked! Under the moonlight, the three monsters of Xuanyuan slowly stepped aside, and a beautiful and beautiful figure slowly walked out from behind them. That person is of course Wu Huan's favorite girl in his youth, "Fox" Su Daji! At this moment, the commotion of people gradually approached, Wu Huan turned his head and saw countless torches. "Sangyang Wuhuan, you have to save us!" The nine-tailed fox said anxiously: "If you don't save the three of us, you should also save Daji." As soon as these words came out, Wu Huan's mood immediately changed from anger at seeing the three demons to sympathy. He didn't know how to help the four escape from the besieged Chaoge City, but he just intuitively wanted to do his best. Ability, so that Daji can escape this catastrophe. He looked around vigilantly, and found that the hall under the moonlight seemed to be an excellent hiding place, so he decided to take a risk, pointing Daji and Xuanyuan Three Demons to hide in the hall, while he sat quietly at the entrance of the hall. The torches and human voices were getting closer and closer. Wu Huan forced himself to be calm and sat on the stone steps in front of the hall, quietly watching the search troops gradually approaching. At this time, a big man came out from the search team. This man and Wu Huan were old acquaintances. He was Jiang Ziya's general Wu Ji. , We are looking for a few criminals, I wonder if you saw them pass by?" Wuhuan pretended to be surprised, and lied: "Has anyone passed by? No, I have been sitting here for a long time, but I have never seen anyone pass by." That Wu Ji is a straightforward man, seeing Wu Huan say this, he naturally has no doubt about him, he nodded and waved the torch in his hand. "Since that's the case, let's search elsewhere!" He said loudly, "I'll drink with you another day!" Seeing that the troops were about to leave, Wu Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly, someone in the troops said loudly: "No! Those three goblins must be nearby!" Wu Huan was startled, seeing the appearance of the person who spoke, her heart sank straight down. --Yang Jian! And once this person appears, there must be that extremely powerful Roaring Dog nearby! Sure enough, Yang Jian walked out of the crowd coldly, and with a move with his right hand, the Roaring Dog rose up from behind him, barking loudly, and rushed straight into the hall without any hesitation. Seeing this, Wu Ji glared at Wu Huan angrily, and then led the troops into the hall. And Yang Jian Shi Shiran came over, but without any expression on his face, he just held Wu Huan's hand. "Brother Wuhuan, let's go into the hall and have a look!" Wu Huan was gently held by his hand, although it was not strong, but she knew that this was Yang Chi's way of preventing him from escaping, so she lowered her head and followed him into the hall. Among the Wuji troops, there were naturally a few strangers, and the Xuanyuanfen Three Demons and Daji hardly resisted, so they were searched out by them. After a while, military adviser Jiang Ziya also arrived, Yang Jian briefly told him what happened here, Jiang Ziya looked at Wuhuan coldly, but didn't say anything. The Xuanyuan Three Demons were firmly bound by the sergeants with fairy ropes, and they knelt down in the hall dejectedly. Because Daji was the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou, Jiang Ziya treated her with some courtesy and did not tie her up with ropes. Jiang Ziya walked slowly to the steps of the main hall, and said loudly: "The four of you seduced King Zhou and helped him to torture him. Today, I am here on behalf of King Wu to kill the three monsters. Daji gave Bai Ling to kill himself. There must be no mistake!" Hearing the verdict, the Xuanyuan Tomb's three demons could not stop begging each other. The three of them were now in the shape of delicate and beautiful women. After mourning, many soldiers were bewildered by it and shed tears one after another. Seeing that many people in the army were bewildered by the melodious voices of the three monsters, Jiang Ziya was afraid that the situation would change, so he whispered instructions to his subordinates, and brought a gourd. Seeing this gourd, Wu Huan was slightly shocked, and the three demons were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. This gourd is of course Yiren Luya's magic weapon, and all spirits, monsters, and gods are afraid of it. On that day, Yuan Hong, who no one could kill, died under the light of this treasure. The three demons were singing and swallowing in the hall, begging like weeping, but Jiang Ziya didn't hesitate at all, put the gourd on the case, and said respectfully: "Please show up, baby." There was a white light on the gourd, and there were eyes and eyebrows on the top of the white light. "Turn around baby please." Then, the heads of the Xuanyuan Three Monsters who had done a lot of evil fell down, showing their original shape. The three heads of the fox, the pheasant, and the jade pipa fell down, rolling on the ground. Next, it was Daji's turn. She silently looked at the white silk that the sergeant handed over, smiled sadly, but pushed aside the sergeant who was about to be hanged, and walked slowly towards the wine pool. She turned her head slowly, pointed at Wuhuan and said, "I have something to tell him." Everyone held their breath, not even Jiang Ziya said a word. "In my life, I have had a lot of joy, and I have had many people who love me and people I love." She looked at Wu Huan and said sadly: "But, I think the person I am most sorry in my life may be you, because you love me so deeply, but I realize that maybe I have never loved you before." She slowly approached the wine pool, but her voice still reached Wu Huan's ears word by word. "He may have forced my father to let me marry into the palace, but being with him made me spend the happiest time of my life. Everyone said he was licentious, and everyone said he was a defeated king. , but the happiness he brings to me is unmatched by anyone else in the world." The "he" in Daji's mouth is of course King Zhou who was burned to death in the Star Picking Tower. "It's ridiculous that I only know that I love him at such a moment. Why do people only know how to cherish it after they really lose it?" Her voice became lower and lower, but she approached the wine pool step by step, "Now, I'm tired, I'm so tired of living, I think, I'm going to accompany him..." At this moment, Daji smiled contentedly, and threw herself into the wine pool with a bang. The sergeants were astonished, but some of them reacted very quickly. They immediately jumped down from the wine pool and brought Daji up, only to find that she had slashed herself with a hidden knife, and the bright red blood was soaked in the wine pool. When he got up, he was already out of breath. And Wuhuan stood there blankly, looking at Daji's wet body, but couldn't say a word. Among the ranks of Xiqi generals, Jiang Ziya walked out slowly at this moment, staring at Wuhuan coldly. "Military law is ruthless. This time you helped the evil concubine escape again, and I can't protect you anymore." His voice was low, but his tone was very firm, "I have no choice but to imprison you. To King Wu!" Wu Huan stood up without a word, and several soldiers came over to hold him up and lead him away from the hall. And on the floor of the main hall, Daji's beautiful face was mixed with thick wine, lying there quietly, her eyes were wide open, as if after she passed away, she would also quietly look at the person she once brought to her. She is the magnificent palace of the Shang Dynasty.
