Chapter 1: Past regrets in the past

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 3
February 19569 Eltiero Zhongdu

Due to Reince Thiren's counterattack, Zhongdu was attacked by a group of meteorites that fell from the sky, causing chaos, houses collapsed, and heavy losses. The great demon king Yinzhen, who was furious by this incident, recalled Prince Hulagu who was fighting on the front line to Zhongdu, and there might be some punishment.

When the demons themselves were fighting for power, this news could be said to be the top priority, and it was transmitted to leaders from all sides through various intelligence channels.

No matter how others think, the person involved thinks this matter is very boring. He is busy at the front line, but he is summoned back to the imperial capital by such a problem. No matter how you look at it, it is all done by the foolish emperor.

Xulagu did not think his father was a good person, but he never thought he was an incompetent person. Although Cao Shou's actions were enough to rank in the top three on Eltino's list of tyrants, Yinzhen, who was serious, was beyond the reach of even Eltino's most outstanding emperor.

This time I was transferred from the front line, it must be for some reason, but I can't guess it thoroughly.

However, it is very likely that this is also part of some kind of power operation. After all, at this moment when the two forces on the demon clan are fighting, any action of the Great Demon King will become the focus of attention. Perhaps the purpose of my father doing this is to convey some message to Shi Chong.

Alas, but how to play power tricks, at least you have to consider the situation. This is the busiest time. The team is full of guys who don’t rely on their brains. Once I’m not here, they should not kill each other. When I go back, it will be bad if there are few living people left.

Racial conflicts in the joint team have always been a headache for various wise leaders in history. Hulagu, who is in the same situation, is naturally no exception. However, compared with the heroes of the past, Hulagu has one advantage, that is, when the situation cannot be swayed, he can also become a completely optimistic school.

Forget it, people always have to die, die early and become more reborn.Let them kill whatever they like, and see who are left in the end. I just need to kill them all after I go back.

If the subordinates heard these words, they would definitely be shocked.

Hulagu is not a bloodthirsty person, but the style of this passage reminds people of his crazy brother Chires, who is inseparable from reason.

Such a situation will occur. In addition to being too stressful, it is somewhat self-deprecating, although the parties involved are unwilling to admit it...

Riding on a unicorn beast with wings, Hulagu rushed to Zhongdu.

The ability to fly in the sky without having to fly with the power of the heavenly position itself, which saves Hulagu a lot of trouble. This unicorn beast is said to be a rare breed in the demon world. It not only flies fast, but also emits high-heat flames on the battlefield, and has strong lethality. It is a symbol of power that only the leader of the demon clan is allowed to ride.

Hulagu has no special hobby for riding a horse. If he can, he hopes to drive his car and let the speaker play the music he loves and go all the way back.

Helplessly, his sports car has not yet been equipped with a flight system, and he can run on the ground at a speed that is not as fast as in the air. Since the official war between humans and the demons, the Bai family no longer exports any machinery related to the ancient magic path to the outside world. Their desire to get a flying sports car to drive must have been a luxury for a while.

It took some time to rush back to Zhongdu from the base camp where the army was located, but when Hulagu descended from the sky with a single-horned beast and landed outside Zhongdu City, looking at the devastated scene, he felt really sighing. The capital of a great country, which was once so prosperous, now, there are broken tiles and bricks everywhere. Except for the palace in the distance, it still stands unshakable. There is no intact building within the scope of his eyes. It is either tilted and half-turned or the walls are broken, which is really terrible.

The main reason for this tragic situation was not the invasion of the demons. After all, the purpose of the demons' invasion was to occupy and permanently enjoy the materials in the human world. If all the places passed by were turned into scorched earth, even the demons themselves would not be able to stand it.

The Demon World is already a cruel and desolate world, and it is a nightmare for all the people in the Demon World. They fight to escape this nightmare, and actually pay more attention to the long-term continuation of this land than humans in their mentality.

The real reason for the destruction of Zhongdu City is because of the war.

In fact, before Yinzhen officially appeared, the mutual attack between Yuanshi Cannon and Tongtian Cannon had already destroyed most of the houses in Zhongdu City, and the ground buildings were almost wiped out. After that, the army of demons entered. In order to maintain the minimum majesty of a royal capital, it took some time to repair and build houses. However, firstly, the demons had no creativity and artistic sense, and most of the rebuilt houses were mainly practical and rigid, and they did not have the previous cultural style. Secondly, the meteorites fell from the sky a few nights, and the reconstruction results of some areas were restored back to their original form.

Although there are many demon troops, those irrational monsters cannot take on construction tasks. The remaining magic weapons with intelligence and independent thinking are extremely precious, and they cannot be devoted to construction work. It seems that it is difficult to have any real large-scale construction before transporting a large number of slave workers to Zhongdu City.

Hulagu slowly passed through the street. Every time he drove across the street, the sound of people cheering in the city sounded on both sides, but now the city is silent. When the demon soldiers who were originally working saw him passing by, they immediately bent down to salute and retreated aside to express their respect, but that was not what Hulagu wanted.

It's really boring. There is no personality or style. It's like a military base now than a capital city. Is the demon attacking the human world just for such a life?

The familiar buildings in the past have been destroyed, and even the faces in memory are gone. Perhaps they have become part of the demon soldiers, but most of them should have become magic beasts that have lost all their rationality.

Walking on the street full of dust and gravel, feeling the difference between the present and the past, Hulagu was really not very happy.

When he came to the palace and expressed his wish to meet His Majesty the Great Demon King, the palace officials told him that His Majesty Yinzhen knew that he would arrive in Zhongdu today and asked him to visit the Royal Cemetery.

In Eltino's royal cemetery, it was not the emperor himself, but the royal blood descendants, but they were all humans with the surname Cao, and they had nothing to do with Yinzhen and Xulagu. When they officially appeared in the world as demons, they no longer needed to go to this cemetery to act. The reason why they came to this place was just for a woman who was sleeping in the cemetery, Yinzhen's daughter, Xiao Qiao.

Even a cynical man like Xulagu would automatically put away his smiling face when he came to the royal cemetery, tidy up his clothes, and combed his hair slightly before entering the cemetery quietly.

These actions were not intentional, but completely subconscious actions. Hulagu could only express his respect in this form to this sister who had passed away for many years.

Alas, if Sister Xiao Qiao was still there, I would not be so isolated and helpless as I am now.With her wisdom and courage, the situation will be much easier, and I don’t have to be tired like this.

In front of Xiao Qiao's grave, Hulagu often sighed like this. He himself knew very well that he was not a good leader who was kind to the people and loved things. He really wanted to make all human beings and demons live better. Many things were just because if he kept silent, things would deteriorate to an unbearable level, so he stood up to do things and did what he had to do unwillingly.

In terms of personal preference, Hulagu was not interested in becoming a great monarch. He just wanted to live a luxurious life of enjoyment all day long, sitting leisurely on the audience stage, watching all the joys and sorrows on the stage coldly. However, the situation has evolved in recent years, and the fire has spread to the audience stage, forcing Hulagu to stand up from the audience stage to put out the fire, and finally became one of the actors.

The ability of a famous king and the wish of a nameless king.

Hulagu gave himself such a comment, which was generally fair. He knew very well what kind of person he was, and also believed that sitting on the throne by a person like Uncle Temujin is the best choice for humans and demons, but...

The fourteenth uncle has the talent and character of a famous king, but he walked too fast on the ideal path and lacked a person who helped him pay attention to the pace of reality.

Temujin's reform was implemented too quickly and quickly, and it deviated from the situation. This was the main reason for the failure. If Yinzhen could cooperate with him sincerely and cooperate with Yinzhen's wisdom with the wisdom of the people of Temujin, the two brothers would definitely be able to rewrite history. Unfortunately, Yinzhen chose a different path from Temujin, and took his ability to master the actual situation, and in turn sniped Temujin, which finally formed such a tragic result.

The situation is somewhat similar now, but if Xiao Qiao is still in the world, the situation will be different. Xiao Qiao can follow the path of Temujin back then and get the cooperation of Reins Thiren. Hulagu replaces Yinzhen's role in the past, and hides behind his sister with a cold and sharp look, and is responsible for the struggle with the conservative forces of the demon clan, so that the cold arrow aiming at the back of his sister had the opportunity to fire.

If Xiao Qiao is still alive, Hulagu believes that it will be the best future. Even if he takes a step back, if his brother Kublai Khan is not dead, with his talent and leadership charm, the pressure he will bear will be much easier than now. Unfortunately, God does not follow others' wishes, and what is put in front of him is the most difficult and thankless burden.

It is really bad that he has become the public enemy of all human beings without knowing it. He still has to be careful, otherwise he would have become the public enemy of all demons for no reason and become a Class A war criminal like his fourteenth uncle, which would be really unbearable.

As he said a sigh-like sentence, Hulagu slowly stepped into the cemetery, turned a few bends, passed through the bushes, and came to the most secluded corner of the cemetery, with his father's figure in sight.

Hulagu, do you know what crime you have committed?

In the first sentence of the meeting, Yinzhen made such a stern scolding, making Xulagu walk over without knowing what expression to use.

If you act so frightened, His Majesty the Demon King might have to make a big splash and step on his head; but before finding out the truth, taking a rash attitude is equivalent to a foolish act of seeking death.

I actually want to throw the feces on the head of the Great Demon King. Should I treat you as a traitor for such a rebellious act?

If Hulagu was cautious in his heart, he was ready to confront his father's wisdom, after hearing this question, he was like a deflated ball, and had the urge to sigh and lie down.

You old man called me back from the front line at this time because of this feces?Are you so bored to sit on the dragon throne?

Yinzhen is not old. Although he is over 2,000 years old, he has peerless martial arts skills. He looks like a middle-aged man with no white hair and no sign of old age at all, especially when a wise smile that knows his son is better than his father, looking leisurely at his sighing son. With such a flying spirit, no one will think that he has entered old age.

No, seriously, it's not for this...but...

Yinzhen glanced at Xulagu meaningfully and said: It is worth it to hear you use a title other than a monarch and minister to call me.Since you came to Eltino, you have never used such a title with me...

Before this, Hulagu never doubted his father's wisdom, but when this sentence came into his ears, he could not believe what he heard, and then questioned whether his father had drunk too much of the polluted water source in Zhongdu, or whether he was infected with some unknown virus, resulting in abnormal behavior and no longer had his usual wisdom.

However, when Hulagu looked at his father again, he found that although he smiled, his eyes were very serious, without any joking. Obviously, the decision he had made after he had thought about it, and it might be really for this reason.

Hello, old man, don’t make some messy decisions casually. If my chin falls off due to scare, are you responsible for this?I have been rushing back from thousands of miles away just to call you a name other than Your Majesty. If your enemies know, all humans will laugh out loud.

Even that...it doesn't matter.Humans who don’t even have big teeth have a few days of life. What they are thinking and planning to do has nothing to do with me.

Yinzhen looked at the tombstone in front of him, and the elegant and pleasant bouquet of lily flowers in front of the tombstone, and then turned his eyes to Hulagu.

I suddenly remembered these days that I have never asked you about your brother’s related matters after he raised his troops.

Hulagu had more than one brother, but Kublai Khan had once raised troops to resist Yinzhen.

The hibiscus in the past shakes the entire Fengzhi Continent, and no one can understand why Kublai Khan took action when everything was not ready, and then he used high-pressure and violent means abnormally, forcing his sworn brother Wang Wu to turn against him and lead his troops to fight against him. Finally, he was defeated by Pengfenpo, and a generation of heroes died in the sky.

The truth about the outbreak of the kimono flower chaos is a mystery to the people of Quanfeng Continent. Even Wang Wu has been confused about it for many years, but Yinzhen and Hulagu know the truth, especially Hulagu. They still clearly remember that on the afternoon of the afternoon many years ago, Kublai Khan, who had just returned from Ertino to Wulian, appeared in front of him with a pale face.

Kublai Khan was very talented and had seen countless storms in his life. The more he encountered major events, the more he could be energetic and brave enough to face challenges.

In Hulagu's memory, his brother was never beaten down by any blow. Every time he encountered setbacks, he always aroused his fighting spirit. After analyzing the reasons for the setback, he took the initiative to fight bravely and bravely. However, Kublai Khan was also a flesh and blood body. There were once twice when Hulagu saw his brother's painful expression.

Once when Hulagu was young, Kublai Khan led a group of people back to Wulian. Everyone's expressions were very heavy, and some orcs even cried and cried while walking. This was a rare thing for orcs who had always paid attention to the image of bravery.

Kublai Khan patted his young brother on the shoulder with a silent sad expression, asking him to remember this moment well and tell him that not long ago, a relative left the world, and because his brother was not strong enough, he could only watch her die.

Once, when Hulagu was a teenager, Wang Wu, and Miss Gongsun Chuqian, visited his brother together. Shortly after the two sides met, Hulagu learned from the clan that his brother had terminated the engagement and did something that damaged the dignity of the clan leader.

That night, Hulagu found that his brother was drunk in the room. The room was full of wine jars, and the smell was so stinking that Kublai Khan, who had never been good at the cup, was drunk like mud, and his depressed attitude was worse than a drunk man who lie down on the street and vomited.

Both of these incidents impressed Xulagu. Although he had never mentioned it to outsiders, it was indeed such a short moment when he saw the tears in his brother's eyes.

Looking back, these two incidents have had a significant blow to my brother, more or less, and my brother's personality has changed as a result, becoming more and more introverted and deeper, focusing on the so-called hegemony.

But never once, like the afternoon when Kublai Khan returned from Zhongdu to Wu Lian, he had a blue face and spoke to Hulagu who was flipping through the books in his hand in a gentle tone that he had finally controlled.

I've spoken to our father.

Hulagu knew his life experience at a very young age. The scandal that he and Kublai Khan were both sons of Cao Shou was not a secret in Wu Lian. Rumors have been mentioned repeatedly on the streets and alleys, but no one dared to point it out in person. Even Kublai Khan never denied this to his younger brother. He just said lightly that the origin does not matter. Heroes achieve success based on their lifetime achievements. What kind of parents can not affect their brothers.

Despite this, Kublai Khan hated his father very much.

Born as a leader and destined to dominate the world, he could not bear his incompetent father, and his disgust for incompetent and mediocre talents was even far more than Cao Shou's anger when he gave birth to descendants with despicable means. Therefore, although Kublai Khan occasionally visited Zhongdu and fulfilled his etiquette to the emperor as the 36 Beast Tribe of Wu Lian, he never had any meeting with Cao Shou outside of official duties.

In fact, if it were not for worshiping Xiao Qiao, Kublai Khan would not even be willing to participate in Zhongzhong, and he could also send his deputy to contact all official duties, but because Xiao Qiao was buried in the royal tomb, Kublai Khan would take Hulagu to visit the tomb every few months.

As an emperor, Cao Shou seemed to like Hulagu very much. He always told Hulagu to come to the palace to meet and talk to him, but Kublai Khan avoided it. Later, Hulagu learned that his brother took the opportunity to steal the secret library of the palace and steal relevant information about the demon skills collected by Ertino, and to improve his martial arts.

Because of this, when Kublai Khan came to him and mentioned his father, Hulagu felt that things were unusual. He looked up at his brother's eyes and was even more shocked.

I met our father, who is the demon clan... The great demon god, Yinzhen, and our brothers are all shedding the blood of the demon clan.

The words said from his brother were too incredible. Even though Hulagu was calm and wise, he could not understand it for a moment, as if he had heard a big joke. After a while, he oh fainted. When his mind turned around, he understood what had happened, and convinced himself with reason to confirm that his brother would not joke. The seemingly realistic statement was the fact, and it was already half an hour later.

Hublai Gu was shocked and wanted to ask his brother for a clear answer at the first time, but Kublai Ku had already led the crowd out. Hublai Gu had an ominous premonition when he learned the news. Sure enough, not long after, there was news that Kublai Khan killed the current head of the Wang family at the banquet and announced that he was about to lead troops to resist Ertino.

Too fast, right?How could it be at this time?

When the news came back, all the members of the Medici family were shocked.

No one asked why Kublai Khan did this, because with Kublai Khan's ambition, it was a matter of time to raise his troops to resist Ertino, but everyone was scrambling to ask why he raised his troops at such a time?

With the integration of troops, food, weapons, and allies, and allies, all major events have not yet been prepared, how could you choose to attack suddenly at this time?

Besides, no one in the entire Medici family knew about such a big thing, which was unreasonable.

Only Xulagu knew why his brother raised troops at such a time, but he could not say anything, at least before meeting with his brother, he could not say anything.

Later, when Kublai Khan returned and had a separate talk with Hulagu, Kublai Khan still took the initiative in the conversation and did not give his younger brother a chance to speak, so he asked first.

What would you do with me?

No...I don't think so.

Why not?

Because... this war is meaningless.Your approach is like a child who has lost his mind and is damaging, and there is no chance of winning this kind of war.

Hulagu's words were very direct, because he had something to say next. If he said these words, perhaps the situation would have changed a little later, but Kublai Khan's laughter interrupted him.

Not only Yinzhen knew about what happened later, but more than 70% of the people in Quanfeng Continent also knew that Kublai imprisoned Hulagu who was unwilling to follow the rebellion and preserved his vitality for the revival of the Medici family. This can be said to be the wisest move by Kublai Khan in the whole rebellion.

The general development of the jinhua Rebellion is similar to what the world knows. The only difference is that Yinzhen once sent his subordinates to save the person when Kublai Khan was defeated and save his son's life. However, in the battle on Pengfen Slope, Kublai Khan and Wang Wu both broke through. With the powerful force of the heavenly throne, the subordinates sent by Yinzhen were completely unable to get involved, and finally led to Kublai Khan's death on Pengfen Slope.

The secret envoy sent by Yinzhen also visited Hulagu, asking him to enter Ertino, and promised that as long as Hulagu entered Zhongdu, he could get shelter. This was the same idea as Hulagu who was about to lead his people to leave Wu Lian at that time, and thus decided the end of the Jinhua Rebellion.

That's all about it. Looking back, I only have one question...

Xulagu stood up and stared at Yinzhen. There was a problem buried in his heart for a long time. He didn't think he would ask this sentence, but at this time today, he felt that he should solve this confusion.

That time, when my brother came to see you, what did you say to him?

In addition to revealing his identity, Yinzhen and Kublai Khan should have something else to say.

Are there any requests for Kublai Khan?

Or, is there anything that threatens Kublai Khan?

This is a question that Hulagu has repeatedly pondered over the years.

Just after that meeting, Kublai Khan returned to Wulian and launched the Jinhua Rebellion. With a clumsy approach of almost self-deprecating, he defeated and gave his life in a mess. These are not what Kublai Khan should do under normal sanity.

Hulagu believed that Hulagu could not figure out what kind of blow it would make him like this as soon as Kublai Khan decided to raise his troops.

Looking at his father, Xulagu hoped to get an answer from Yinzhen, but Yinzhen had no such plan.

There should be a time for anything to go on, and now is not the time to tell you.Tell you the facts, it is not good for you now...

Just like the mysterious at the beginning, Yinzhen seemed to have known that Hulagu would have this question for a long time. He simply blocked his son's question, turned around and left the cemetery.

This reaction was also expected by Hulagu. He didn't think his father would tell him the truth, but thinking about his words and deeds just now made Hulagu even more confused.

His father... According to his own understanding, he is not a person who values ​​blood ties, so for the sake of power and the overall situation of the demon clan, he can calmly and rationally kill his brothers and wipe out all those in the way.

For his children, it is just a tool for inheritance of the demon throne. In order to have enough talents to inherit the power, he bred his offspring randomly in his early years with a greedy and ugly attitude that was almost like a breeding pig.

However, Yinzhen and Kublai Khan were very similar, that is, their complete hatred for the incompetent. Although Cao Shou gave birth to many princes and daughters, including illegitimate children, there were only four who were recognized as the children of the Great Demon God Prince.

Chires, Kublai Khan, Xiao Qiao, and Xulagu, in Yinzhen's own positioning, he only had these four children in his life, and the rest were all descendants of Cao Shou. Whether he was alive or not, he didn't care.

A man like this is not so rational about emotions, but rather a man... it is a kind of selfish and purely selfish love.

It is because of knowing this that Hulagu never expected any fatherly love. However, what happened to the situation he just encountered?

Standing in the cemetery, Hulagu sighed in annoyance, took out a pre-hidden flower from his arms, and quietly placed it in front of his sister's tomb.
