C59 Azure Dragon Breaks the Sky

"What is it?" Guxing asked curiously.

The shopkeeper said, "In the second year after Emperor Xiaotian gave the order to recruit soldiers, a strange thing happened in the city of Pingzhou, which originally belonged to Chu Kingdom. In the end, it was divided up by the six states and fell into the hands of the Qi State. Fifty thousand soldiers of the Qi State died in one night. "

"Fifty thousand people died in one night. . . "

Guxing lowered his head and whispered to each other, "Senior, do you know who did it?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Who exactly did it? I don't know, but it definitely has something to do with the Imperial Court. According to the local people, the killing that night shook the heavens. When they secretly opened the doors and windows the next day, they only saw a group of people leaving in a hurry. It was hard to tell the number of people. Some said that there were hundreds of them. Some said it was thousands of people, but the only thing that could be confirmed was. . . The locals recognized that the person in the lead was a man in purple, but because of the color of the sky. . . Whether it was a man or a woman, they couldn't be seen clearly, but I'm sure. . . That person must be the Xiaotian Emperor. "

"Oh?"

Guxing asked in doubt, "Why does a senior without any proof believe that the leader is Emperor Xiaotian?"

"Whether it is hundreds of people or thousands of people, it doesn't matter. For the fifty thousand people on the enemy's side, it might not even count as a fraction. To be able to slaughter 50,000 enemies in one night with such a small number of people, and 50,000 well-trained soldiers. . . This means that these people are definitely experts. Even if they aren't the best, they won't be too far off. "

After saying that, the manager raised his hand to pick up a cup of tea in front of him. He lightly took a sip and slowly said, "Since that is the case. . . How deep is the cultivation of the leader? And this was obviously done by the royal family of Great Chu. Therefore, other than Emperor Xiaotian, I didn't think that there would be another person who could do such a thing, not to mention. . . Emperor Xiaotian had a habit since he was a child. He prefers purple. . . "

Guxing was shocked. "He only brought a few thousand men with him and killed fifty thousand enemies. This Emperor Xiaotian's cultivation base is also so powerful!"

He had thought that no one was perfect. Since Emperor Xiaotian had such profound attainments in the art of mind and strategy, then his cultivation base wouldn't be that strong. He had never thought that his cultivation base would be so terrifying as well.

"The matter is not over yet. On the third day after the incident in the Ping Province, the same thing happened in the Chu Province, which also belonged to the Chu Kingdom. The sixty thousand soldiers guarding the city were killed in one night. "

"It was done by the same group of people, right?"

If Guxing had some doubts about the shopkeeper's words just now, it could be concluded now. These two things must have been done by the royal family, because apart from the royal family and the four great families. . . At that time, there was no other sect or power in Chu Kingdom that could do such a thing, and the reason why it was determined that it was the Imperial Family. That was because no matter which angle one looked at it from, the royal family was the biggest beneficiary of these two incidents.

"En. "

The shopkeeper replied and nodded: "From the method of killing and the traces on the corpse, it is indeed the work of the same group of people. It is just that this time, this group of people did not exterminate all of them. Instead, they deliberately left a few people alive and let them bring back a message to their own masters. "

"What words? Threatening?" Guxing asked in a guessing manner.

"I don't know. "

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and said uncertainly: "It's a shame that I still haven't fully understood the meaning behind it. I think only a few of the country emperors at that time could understand the meaning behind those words. "

Guxing was stunned. The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell your master and ask him to tell the other countries. From the moment the Azure Dragon breaks the sky, everything here will be over. "

"Azure Dragon breaks the sky?"

Guxing was confused. "What do you mean?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "I only know that this Azure Dragon is the combined name of the Eastern Seven Constellation in the Twenty-Eight Constellation. As for the Azure Dragon that breaks the sky, I have never heard of it. I think this is not meant for us to hear. "

"So that's how it is. " Guxing said anxiously. "What happened after that? Soong Kingdom, Shu, Zhao, and Yaen Kingdom? Did they obediently hand over their territories?"

"Hand them over?" Instantly, the shopkeeper sneered: "How could they spit out the fat meat in their mouths? Faced with the bloody lesson from the Qi and Wu Country, not only did they not withdraw their troops, they even sent troops from the capital city to defend. The war was imminent and the atmosphere became extremely tense. "

"Are we going to fight another war? However, four against one, the Chu Kingdom should not have any chance of winning. " Guxing couldn't figure it out, but if Chu Kingdom lost, then when did they reclaim their territory?

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper shook his head once again and said, "It's out of everyone's expectation. Just when everyone thought that Chu would attack with anger, Chu Kingdom once again stopped. Just like three years ago, they retreated. After that. . . There were no other movements, as if nothing had happened. Apart from the corpses on the ground of Pingzhou and Chuzhou, it's also a declaration of the tragedy of the great war. "

"Did you stop?"

Guxing was stunned and said: "It seems like the six kingdoms are in danger now that an emperor could hold his temper to such an extent. "

"What happened after that? I think they must have paid an even more painful price, right?"

"It's not really painful. After all, Chu Kingdom is just taking back what belongs to them. Of course, it's unavoidable that their methods are slightly more intense. "

The shopkeeper said, "Just like that, three years have passed, and it's still the same night. The tragedy of the past happened once again. The defending troops of the six states that were originally stationed in the Chu Kingdom were attacked once again. However, it was different from the last two times. This time, it was not just the defending troops of one country. Instead, it was the defending troops of the Zhao Country, Yaen Kingdom and Wu Country that were killed on the spot. Not only that, the heads of those defending troops were also cut off and piled on the side of the city wall. At first glance, it was much higher than the city wall. "

"In one night, hundreds of thousands of defending troops were all killed?"

Guxing said in surprise. "And it was not just one place. It was broken through in three places. Was it done by the previous group of people?"

The shopkeeper said, "I can't explain this clearly either, but there is one thing that has been proven. The person in the lead was still the same person from back then. Because on the day of the massacre, the civilians of three cities saw the same figure flash across the city. "

"The same figure?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's right, it's the person in purple clothes from back then. "

"Chu Xiaotian?" Guxing couldn't help but frown. His intuition told him that this man was even more terrifying than he had imagined. Whether it was in terms of temperament or cultivation, he had displayed unparalleled strength, causing others to pale in comparison.

The shopkeeper said, "Perhaps. Due to the sky being dark, the local people still didn't see it clearly this time. As for whether that figure was the real Emperor Xiaotian or not, no one knew if he was the real Emperor. In short, there was one thing that was certain. What these people did was exactly what the royal family of Chu Kingdom wanted. There was no doubt about it. "

"I'm afraid that it's not a good feeling to be provoked by someone who was once defeated. " Guxing said as he picked up a cup and played with it in his hand. A trace of boredom flashed across his eyes, as if he had seen through something.

"Hehe, once this matter is out. . . The world was shocked. The spies of the six kingdoms immediately reported this matter to their Emperor. After learning about this matter, the three kings were infuriated. Especially King Wu, he had been humiliated by Emperor Xiaotian more than once. Naturally, it was hard for him to swallow the resentment in his heart. Immediately, he led his troops to attack. Right at this moment, an even more important piece of news sent him flying back. "

Shopkeeper smiled faintly and picked up the cup in front of him. He placed it by his mouth and blew on it. The hot air emitted from the cup immediately rose in front of his eyes. He looked at Guxing in a playful manner and said, "Little brother, do you know what happened next?"
