I have been experimenting with medicine in the Palace of Longevity for 30 years

Liaoxi County.

There are ruins and dead bodies everywhere.

During this battle, almost all the monks above the third rank in Beimang fell, and only a few of them fled back to Beimang.

This is true for high-level monks, but for ordinary soldiers, the casualties are even more severe.

The Beimang army fled in a panic after losing nearly 30 lives.

On the way to escape, due to various reasons, nearly [-] people were killed or injured. In the end, less than [-] people fled back to Beimang.

After chasing the deserters in Beimang, the defenders, under the command of Zhang Yuanfang, began to repair the fortifications, gathered the remains of their comrades in an open space, and began to count the number of dead.

As for the corpses of the Beimang army, after they stripped away the useful spoils, all the corpses piled up into a hill, which was ignited by monks who were proficient in fire magic.

Zhang Yuanfang came to the clearing where the corpses of the dead soldiers were collected, looked at the more than [-] corpses, his heart was pierced, he stood there with his head down for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, let's go! !"

The awe-inspiring righteousness exploded in mid-air.

The mournful voice spread throughout Liaoxi County, and everyone involuntarily gathered in this open space.

Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene bowed their heads in silence. The soldiers in military uniforms all shouted loudly: "Rest in peace, comrade!"

"Rest in peace, comrade!"

In mid-air, Yang Qing and Liu Yue'e watched all this silently with solemn expressions.

"Husband, the matter here is over, shall we go back?"

Liu Yuee asked.

"Ok!"

Yang Qing nodded, didn't speak any more, turned around, and left here first.

After seeing these fallen soldiers, there was a big stone in his heart, which was piled up in his heart and could not be dispelled.

It was rare for Liu Yue'e not to hunt down those aliens who had fled back to Beimang, but obediently followed Yang Qing and left Jizhou.

In the talisman space, He Pingan glanced at Emperor Longqing next to him, then at Duke Zhen Guo, and said with a chuckle: "You two should have a lot to say, and I will give you two hours from the pindao. Talk about the old days."

"I don't know how long it will be before you see each other after we leave today."

He Pingan said slowly, and then pointed with one hand, the talisman space was automatically divided into two, isolating him from the other two.

Two hours later.

"My lord, absolutely not!"

As soon as He Pingan opened the barrier of the talisman space, he saw Lord Zhen Guo furiously arguing with Emperor Longqing.

Seeing He Ping'an appeared, Emperor Longqing shut up and stopped talking.

When Lord Zhen Guo saw He Pingan, he walked over directly, and then hurriedly said: "Senior, you judge the younger generation."

"Holy Majesty actually wants to"

Emperor Longqing quickly interrupted him and said: "Duke, this is my family matter, so I don't need to bother Senior Wu Sheng."

"Fart, my lord is the king of a country, your family affairs are the affairs of the country!"

Zhen Guogong ignored Emperor Longqing's obstruction at all, and then told the story of the two of them recounting the old days.

At the beginning, it was normal for the two of them to reminisce about the old days. Lord Zhen Guo knew that Emperor Longqing was dead, and now that he switched to the ghost way, he could no longer be Emperor Daxuan.

Let's say goodbye today, maybe we will never see each other again, one person and one ghost, we cried a lot.

But then, Emperor Longqing proposed that he was already dead, so that Duke Zhen could call himself Zhao Ying in the future.

And his self-proclaimed name was changed from Zhen to me, which means that he has completely given up the throne.

Especially when talking about Emperor Longqing's successor, Emperor Longqing said that after experiencing the calamity of life and death, he had already taken power very lightly.

And he asked his heir to be an idle prince in the future and not to fight for the emperor again.

Before Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, there were originally three heirs, two males and one female, all born to the concubine Hu's family. Later, Princess Li's Sanyin Juemai was cured by He Pingan, and she was pregnant three months ago.

In other words, at the very least, Emperor Longqing now has four heirs.

It doesn't matter if he dies, and he also asked these four heirs to give up the throne, which is totally unacceptable to Duke Zhen.

Emperor Jiaming originally had few heirs left, and the eldest princess disappeared. In the end, during the battle at Wuxianling, she seemed to appear for a moment, and then disappeared again.

Can't find it at all.

However, King Jing was defeated in the dragon battle before, and then disappeared for no reason, and he has not been found until now.

Moreover, even if he can be found, this person is by no means a Mingjun.

As for King Jing's heirs, dead and scattered, none of them can be found now.

Princess Yifang also disappeared when Emperor Jiaming married her to the East China Sea, and there is no news of her now.

Some people said that he was rescued by the Martial Saint Riding a Dragon, but the Martial Saint Riding a Dragon didn't say anything, and it was not easy for Lord Zhen Guo to ask.

In the lineage of Emperor Jiaming, only the four heirs of Emperor Longqing are left.

If Emperor Longqing refused to allow his heir to inherit the throne, then Daxuan could only look for a successor among those royal families.

And this is the most helpless choice.

Duke Zhen said angrily, "Senior, please tell me that a country cannot be without a king for a day. If the successor doesn't look for it from the four descendants of the Holy Majesty, why should he look for it from the royal family?"

He Pingan nodded again and again after listening to Lord Zhen Guo's narration, then turned his head to look at Emperor Longqing and said, "Pindao remembers that you were more attached to the throne than King Jing back then, why did you voluntarily give up now?"

Emperor Longqing smiled lightly, and said: "Before the calamity of life and death, the younger generation believed that everything was less important than power."

"But it wasn't until after the calamity of life and death that the juniors realized that what power and throne are but the past."

"Only strength is your own."

"That's why the junior asked the senior to turn himself into a ghost cultivator and embark on the road of cultivation again. Without the shackles of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the junior believes that the cultivation base will definitely improve by leaps and bounds."

He Pingan nodded, feeling that what he said was somewhat reasonable, but then asked: "Even so, you don't need to let your son give up the throne?"

Emperor Longqing seemed to have thought of the words a long time ago, and said slowly: "This junior has already said that without strength, you can't grasp your own destiny at all."

"The children of the younger generation are all very young now, and some are even still in their infancy."

"Even if they sit on the throne, how can they control their own destiny?"

"It's not someone else's puppet!"

As soon as these words came out, Duke Zhen trembled all over, and quickly fell to his knees, not daring to raise his head for a long time.

"Don't worry too much, Duke, I'm not talking about you."

Emperor Longqing floated in the air, and said expressionlessly: "The emperor's family is the most ruthless. When the father was in power, I had a deep understanding."

"Now I don't want my children to repeat the same mistakes."

"Since I was so young, I have been fighting for power and power, and I will not rest until I die!"

When He Pingan heard the words, he couldn't help sighing: "People in the world only see the glory and wealth enjoyed by the emperor's house, but they never thought that if the throne was given to him, he would really be able to sit firmly and sit well?"

"Zhao Ying, you have made Pindao look at you with admiration. I didn't expect that after a life and death, you would suddenly see the light."

"My lord, get up!"

With a wave of his sleeves, He Pingan directly lifted the Duke Zhen who was still kneeling on the ground: "Both Pindao and Zhao Ying know that you don't have this heart."

"But you don't have this heart, it doesn't mean that other people don't have this heart."

"Not to mention, have you ever seen Mrs. Hu?"

He Pingan asked.

When Zhen Guogong heard the words, the appearance of the noble concubine Hu Shi suddenly appeared in his mind, he couldn't help nodding and said: "The old minister has seen it."

"Then what do you think, if Hu's son ascends to the throne, will Hu get involved in politics?"

He Pingan looked at Zhen Guogong with burning eyes.

"This"

Duke Zhen's expression changed immediately. He had heard about the Hu family's reputation. He was a competitive master. Before Emperor Longqing came to the throne, he wanted to replace Princess Li.

If her child ascends the throne, the consequences
Duke Zhen shuddered suddenly.

"But."

Zhen Guogong still wants to work harder, after all, there is still an unborn child of Queen Li.

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind!"

Emperor Longqing coldly interrupted Duke Zhen's words.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, He Pingan quickly pulled them apart, and then persuaded: "The most urgent thing now is not to inherit the throne, but to the people in the west."

"Duke, the people in the west are still waiting for you to rescue them."

"The matter of the throne, it's better to put it aside first. With Pindao and Daxuan Sword Immortal sitting in charge, and you, Liu Sheng, and Chongyang Zhenxian presiding over the government affairs, Daxuan will not be able to mess up in a short time."

"You go and drive the demons out of Daxuan first, and discuss the matter of the heir to the throne in detail after you come back."

"Yes!"

Hearing the words, Lord Zhen Guo also felt that what He Ping'an said was reasonable, so he took the order and left.

Under the guidance of He Pingan, he overtook the army that had already entered the territory of Daxuan, and joined Liu Sheng and Chongyang Zhenxian.

After sending Lord Zhen Guo away, He Pingan looked at Emperor Longqing, his eyes shining brightly: "What are you thinking?"
