Jiang Wang fixed Qiantang with one sword and walked away through the wind and clouds.

Wen Jingxiu was left standing stunned on the river embankment, silent, not knowing what posture the Yue army should maintain.

as well as……

A wisp of sword energy suddenly flew high into the sky, triggering the tail of a comet and piercing the sky of Yue Kingdom.

Bai Yuxia's voice rang out: "Boss! I'm still in prison!!!"

This sound is desolate, howling through the late autumn.

Wen Jingxiu lowered his head and looked at Jia Kui Bian Liang.

The leader of Yuejia immediately turned around and flew straight to Kuaiji. He didn't even have time to dispatch his troops. He started shouting from far outside the city: "Let him go! Let him go quickly! Your Majesty just let him rest. Who allows you to put Lord Bai away?"

Imprisoned? He is the pillar of the country and the mainstay of Qiantang, how can you have such excuse!!"

He showed a charging attitude and rushed all the way into the sky prison. Before the jailer could unlock the door, he punched open the door.

Step into the midst of the flying prison door fragments.

"Master Bai! I'm so wronged by you!" He reached out to hold Bai Yuxia's hand.

"Huh -" Bai Yuxia held his sword in front to separate him: "This broken country of yours is so unlucky. I have been blessed so much in my life that I have repeatedly capsized in your sewer. Damn it, my boss must be angry. I will turn around."

I have to check the accounts again - brothers, please give way and don't let me get any bad luck on you!"

With just this sentence, he walked out of the prison door and walked away.

From now on, there is no longer a noble son of the Bai family in Langya, only the innocent shopkeeper Bai of Xingyue.

…

…

Wen Jingxiu always felt that the sword would fall——

Or Jiang Wang would wipe him out with a sword after pacifying Qiantang.

Or Bai Yuxia would stab him angrily after getting out of trouble.

But nothing.

Bai Yuxia left without looking back.

Jiang Wang didn't even leave a shadow behind.

He stared at Bai Yuxia's back from a distance, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the summer of 3919 in the Taoist calendar. At that time, he was on the Qiantang River Embankment, personally marching for Bai Yuxia.

The meeting of the Yellow River, which attracts the world's attention, is the time when dragons and tigers are in turmoil.

At that time, he spilled a glass of wine, poured it into the Qiantang, and said boldly: "Today I will give the world a drink, and I will first congratulate my proud son!"

At that time, Ge Fei and Bai Yuxia were both strange and handsome. Although they came from a small country, they were very high-spirited. They were really young heroes and high-spirited.

At that time, he was also full of ambitions, thinking that he could bring Yue to an unprecedented future——

He has endured it for many years and endured a lot of suffering, but he should always be a blockbuster, and he should finally be rewarded with all the hardships. This is how history plays out, isn’t it?

The real history is more cruel than the history books.

He is probably a person who will leave a mark in the history books, but he must be very stupid. In other words, he is the "King of the Subjugated Country."

All his attempts failed, and all his efforts went in the wrong direction.

At this time, he stood on the embankment of Qiantang River, and the soldiers and civilians were driven away.

He knew it was over.

He was thinking, on the day when Teacher Gao left, what was the last thing he thought about when he was standing here?

Is it painful? Or is it peaceful?

Feeling the river breeze blowing on his face and looking at the autumn scenery of the distant mountains, he tightened his grip on the yellow shaft he took out of his arms.

The edict left by Taizong was a promise made when the country collapsed. Whether he saw it or not, it didn't have much impact. But maybe it was his clumsy efforts to get Taizong to hear it, and the history of the Yue Kingdom was revealed to him.

lingering sound.

He saw it.

He wanted to do something and was ready to do something, but when things came to pass, he didn't dare to do anything.

This is really ridiculous! As the lord of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the king of the Yue Kingdom for thousands of years, he is afraid! Afraid that he is still stupid, afraid that he will self-defeat himself again and do something wrong - and who else can patiently teach him to correct it?

?

At this time he looked towards the Qiantang River.

There are fishermen on the Qiantang River.

This man has a short beard and a curly face, with aged eyes. He wears a bamboo hat and a raincoat on his head, carries a harpoon on his back, holds a bamboo pole in his hand, and has a bamboo raft at his feet.

I paddled the water with a bamboo pole and came here on a raft.

Wen Jingxiu knew that this was the person he was waiting for. In other words, this was the person Yue had been waiting for for many years. He had not waited for many years.

It's not that this person doesn't want to come, and it's not that Yue Guo doesn't want this person to come, it's because he never waited for the opportunity.

Now is not an opportunity, it is the last choice for this country.

The fisherman pushed the bamboo raft closer, looked at Wen Jingxiu carefully for a while, and then said slightly sadly: "I didn't expect to come back here again after so many years. Sometimes I don't even remember where I am.

born."

"This country has not specially reserved any memory for you." Wen Jingxiu said, "Because any trace of deliberate intention cannot escape the eyes of the Star Witch."

The fisherman said seriously: "But the Qiantang tide has always swept through my heart."

"Li Mao?" Wen Jingxiu looked at him.

The fisherman put his hand on his heart and bowed his head: "Your Majesty."

Protector of the Ping Dynasty, Li Mao of Zhao Qian’s grandson Li Zhong!

"You don't need to call me Your Majesty anymore. From today on, there will be no imperial family in the Yue Kingdom. In the name of the last king of the Yue Kingdom, I abolish all the honors and rights of the royal family surnamed Wen, and destroy the last and largest aristocratic family in the Yue Kingdom!" Wen Jing

Xiu Dao: "I have established the Privy Council. From now on, all major government affairs will come from the Privy Council. The nine privy envoys will supervise each other and govern the country. The officials of the imperial court will all pass the official examination. There will be no nobles in Yue. From now on, those named Wen and Ge will

Everyone with the same surname is Bai, and all people in Yue are born at the same starting point - Li Mao."

He looked into the fisherman's eyes: "Is this the equality you want?"

Now Li Mao is a person from the country of equality, and he cherishes the ideal of "equality".

But he shook his head: "Even if such a Yue country can still exist, it does not exist because of equality. Equality is not a slogan or a fragile ideal. Equality is a kind of strength."

The fundamental reason for the continuous expansion of the Yue Kingdom and Zuo Kingdom has always been only two words - "checks and balances".

This has nothing to do with whether the people of Yue are industrious and brave, or whether the country of Yue has produced several generations of wise kings and virtuous ministers.

It was the restraint and undercurrent of various forces in the southern region that allowed the Yue Kingdom and the Imperial Ancestral Temple to continue to be prosperous on the "side of the tiger's bed".

Since this country does not exist because of "equality".

Of course, there is no way to talk about true equality.

Without the ability to protect oneself, one cannot rely on one's own strength to support this equality. Then no matter how thoroughly the New Deal is implemented and how fair the new country is, it is water without a source and a tree without roots.

Wen Jingxiu understood.

He shook his head. Although he was already very awake, he still couldn't help but ask: "You have been outside for so many years and your vision is broader. Do you think the current Yue Kingdom can attract the one who returns?"

Li Mao, who left his homeland and watched the rise and fall of the country, had more complicated feelings in his heart as he watched the country of Yue step by step to where it is today. He also had a lot to say, but in the end he just sighed: "No matter what, the country of Yue will be better in the future.

It has nothing to do with Your Majesty or the royal family named Wen."

Wen Jingxiu said bitterly: "To this day, the surname Wen Sheji has long ceased to exist in my heart. I just hope that the people of Yue will not be inferior to others."

Teacher Gao told him more than once——

You must realize that you are powerless, you must realize that the outcome of the Yue Kingdom is gloomy, and nothing you do can change it, and then think about whether you want to do something.

But he seemed to be unable to truly understand this sentence until today.

People teach people, but they don’t teach. Things teach people, once is enough!

And there is no chance to do it again.

Wen Jingxiu opened his arms and faced the Qiantang River, as if embracing it. Finally, he closed his eyes, and there was still hope in his tone: "Will the world get better?"

Hua la la, the river wind pushes the tide.

A bamboo pen penetrated his neck diagonally.

The man holding the pole said: "It can't get worse."

Wen Jingxiu's Taoist body began to decline, and the emperor's dragon energy in his body followed his last will and turned to Li Mao. The emperor's dragon energy turned into two small dragons, one gold and one black. The former represented supreme nobility, and the latter represented the subjugation of the country.

The sorrow.

The two dragons flew together, then parted ways, and fell into Li Mao's eyes respectively.

Those two sad eyes are so deep, like a dragon lurking in the abyss.
