Witch Wind

Chapter 158: Begging for Help (Part )

Xingtian Palace, from the Suzaku Gate in the south, follows the half-mile wide imperial road all the way north, along the corridor sandwiched between high walls on both sides, straight into the triple palace gates, there is another square large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

It was also built of huge stones and blessed with earth-based witchcraft. Thousands of Xingtian brothers wearing heavy armor, holding various heavy weapons, and tens of thousands of carefully selected indigenous strong men stood in formation here with their heads held high.

Beihe Cangyi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by several Dongyun guards, took small steps and walked along the long corridor with trepidation and trotted to the square.

Faced with the watch of tens of thousands of brave men, Beihe Cangyi's knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

The Xingtian brothers were also fine, when they looked at Beihe Cangyi, there was more "contempt" and "disregard", and they did not put much pressure on Beihe Cangyi.

As for the indigenous warriors of Black Borneo, their wildness has not yet disappeared, and they still uphold various barbaric habits. Among them, 70% of the warriors originally belonged to the "cannibal tribe"... When they looked at Beihe Cangyi, their eyes were full of bestiality and "appetite"!
Beihe Cangyi was really scared that if he lost Xing Tianli's protection, he would be eaten alive by these terrible tribal warriors.

This kind of thing has never happened.

When the coalition forces of the southern islands, in cooperation with Xing Tianli's black Borneo indigenous army, swept across the western islands, many of the noble children who stayed behind were devoured by these wild indigenous warriors.

Cough, Beihe Cangyi, I’m really scared.

He lowered his head, covered in cold sweat, and trembling as he walked across the square. He climbed up the towering steps, step by step, to the main hall of the imperial court of the Xingtian Palace - what a hell, Beihe Cangyi was only four feet high, and when Xing Tianli asked those soldiers and evil spirits to build this palace, each step was two feet high!

Beihe Cangyi and several servants had to crawl and roll to climb over each step.

They were in an extremely awkward situation, and it took them more than a quarter of an hour to finally climb up the 108 steps. They arrived, panting, at the entrance of the court hall.

All the furnishings in the Imperial Court Hall were modeled after the Forbidden City attractions that Xing Tianli had visited in his previous life, except that all the furnishings were more than ten times larger in size. For example, each of the thirty-six large pillars in the hall was ten feet thick and nearly thirty feet high, which was quite astonishing.

A large group of Xingtian brothers, as well as the Dongyun nobles from the southern islands who were possessed by the evil spirits of the warriors, gathered here, each of them staring at Beihe Cangyi with a grim look in their eyes.

Bei Hecang smiled dryly, climbed over the high threshold with great difficulty, and fell into the hall with a 'bang'.

In the main hall, the life-hungry Xing Tian Xiao Hua, dressed in gorgeous clothes and rolling her eyes, was counting one by one the tiny five-colored wooden carvings of divine dragons in the caisson in the middle of the main hall.

Hey!
Nanxun Town, Pingyuan Hall, Xingtian clan, among the many Xingtian clan members who followed Xingtian Li on the expedition to Black Borneo and came to Dongyun, Xingtian Xiaohua was the youngest.

The huge Pingyuan Hall has been thriving in Nanxun Town for many years. There are many members in the clan. Different branches have children at different times, and the generation gap between them is getting bigger and bigger. Xingtian Xiaohua's family is the kind that is extremely keen on having children. Often, a male child can become a father at the age of fifteen, and a grandfather at the age of thirty. It is not uncommon for six, seven, or even eight or nine generations to live together in the same house.

Therefore, in terms of seniority, Xingtian Xiaohua is the 35th generation grandson of Xingtian Li.

However, in terms of age, Xingtian Xiaohua, who is seven feet tall, broad-shouldered, thick-bellied, and full of flesh, with a full beard, is among the top three oldest brothers of the Xingtian family who went on the expedition!
This is...

It's a bit embarrassing.

Xing Tianli stood in front of the throne in the main hall, tapping the Tongtian Miaozhu with his fingers, and said with a smile to the melancholy-looking Xing Tian Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, hurry up, let's hold the ceremony. Hey, hey, don't delay Cang Yi's good things. Today is his coronation ceremony!"

Inside the hall, many Xingtian brothers shouted in unison. The Dongyun nobles whose bodies were possessed had dim light in their eyes and laughed loudly. Their laughter became more bizarre and sinister, making the whole hall become eerie and terrifying.

Beihe Cang knelt on the ground with a "gudong" sound, bowed down to Xingtian Xiaohua, and called out affectionately and lovingly, "Ancestor!"

Xing Tian Xiaohua sighed softly, rolled her eyes, and responded weakly: "All right, grandson, get up? Read the newly compiled family tree yourself."

Xing Tianli spent a lot of effort to build Ganqi Island, constructed Xingtian Peak, Xingtian Palace, etc., in order to use this as the core, and the southern islands and Black Borneo as the basis to establish the country of 'Nanyun'.

The first emperor of the Nanyun Empire was Beihe Cangyi.

Now that the country has been established, clan genealogies, jade discs, golden books, and all the other things like bloodline genealogies that are sufficient to prove the "orthodoxy" and "origin" of this country must be prepared.

Xing Tianli fabricated such a genealogy of the ancestors of the 'Nanyun Empire' - in this genealogy, Xing Tianli cut off Beihe Cangyi's blood relationship from the Dongyun royal family, that is, Hu Hai's lineage, and hid it.

To be honest, although Hu Hai was wanted by the First Emperor of Zulong and had been tormented for so many years, Xing Tianli did not know what the relationship between the First Emperor of Zulong and Hu Hai was, and whether there was any hidden connection. It was even more impossible for him to take the risk and provoke the ancient Qin, which had been around for sixty years.

Therefore, in this fabricated ancestral genealogy album, Xing Tianli traced the bloodline of the Beihe family from Beihe Cangyi, all the way back to Xu Fu and Yamatai!
This is a fact.

Hu Hai fled Shenzhou with Zhao Gao and took refuge in Dongyun. The two princes born to Hu Hai both married the daughters of Xu Fu and Yamatai. The two sides intermarried for generations, which gave rise to the two major ruling families of Beihe and Nanshan.

Xing Tianli traced this bloodline and listed it in the ancestral genealogy book.

Generation after generation, tracing back continuously, finally, in this fabricated ancestral genealogy book, Xing Tianli lied that Xu Fu had a very thin trace of blood from the Xing Tian clan's side branch.

And Xingtian Xiaohua became a distant relative of the same generation as Xu Fu.

When the Nanyun Empire was founded, there was a grand sacrificial ceremony. In the document for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, there was a passage that wildly criticized Xu Fu for his perverse actions and for bringing chaos to the world. The wording was so harsh that it almost gathered together all the wordings of the manifestos against tyrants that Xing Tianli knew of in history.

In the sacrificial text, Xing Tianli criticized Xu Fu for being a "complete bastard", so Beihe Cangyi recognized a new ancestor, Xing Tian Xiaohua.

After the founding of the Nanyun Empire, Beihe Cangyi was the emperor, and Xingtian Xiaohua was the regent. Nanxun Town, Pingyuan Hall, and the Xingtian family were the most orthodox and legitimate descendants of the Nanyun royal family!
Xing Tianli's behavior is typical of wanton behavior.

However, whether it is the Kingdom of Yingjishi, the Kingdom of Saint Norman, the Aimee Federation, or a group of their vassal states, they have all prepared the telegram documents. As soon as the news of the establishment of the Nanyun Empire comes out, they will immediately announce it to the world - they admit that Beihe Cangyi, and Beihe Cangyi's ancestor Xu Fu, both have the rare bloodline of the Xingtian clan.

They would even admit that Xing Tian, ​​Xiao Hua and Xu Fu were blood relatives of the same generation.

And Xingtian Xiaohua is the 35th generation grandson of Xingtian Li!
Officially recognized by the great powers—Xu Fu is the grandson of Xing Tianli!
Hey!
Isn’t that disgusting enough?
Of course, disgusting people is just a side job. It can disgust Xu Fu, Hu Hai, and all the people related to the Dongyun royal family. It's just a side job.

The real benefit is that once Beihe Cangyi recognizes him as the ancestor and kowtows to him, if anything happens in the future, Xing Tianli can, with the support of the Kingdom of Yingjishi and the Aime Federation, declare that the Nanyun Empire is the legitimate East Yun Empire. In the future, within the territory of East Yun, no matter big or small, the Nanyun Empire will have the right of "long-arm jurisdiction"!

That is, as long as the matter has the slightest connection with Xing Tianli, as long as Xing Tianli and the Nanyun Empire are strong enough, and as long as the matter happens within the former Dongyun territory, then Xing Tianli can legally and rudely intervene!
There are many twists and turns here.

Xing Tianli not only targeted Xu Fu, Hu Hai and others in the Dongyun Inner Ocean, but also Maria, who signed the partition contract and occupied the northern islands. Even Zhu Ming, Zhao Song, and even the future Great Yu Dynasty Shenzhou, Xing Tianli could use this name to do a lot of things.

Ganqi Island, northwest corner. In the port full of Yingji warships, there is a brand new castle-like building surrounded by green trees. A strange power fills the void. Near the castle, the old cherry trees transplanted from the southern islands are sprouting buds like crazy, and blooming hysterically with extremely gorgeous flowers.

Cherry blossoms of various colors are like thick clouds, interweaving and covering an area of ​​more than ten miles. The castle in the center looks like a fairy palace in the clouds, magnificent and like a dream.

A large group of girls with cool clothes, slim figures and exquisite facial features chased and played with a large group of Ingish and Saint-Norman naval officers under the lush cherry trees and on the thick green grass, or tasted fine wine and snacks, and enjoyed the warm sunshine and wonderful life to their heart's content.

In the center of the castle, in the gorgeous lobby, girls with even more outstanding looks and figures were dancing with a large group of naval commanders. The quality of the drinks and other delicacies here was one level higher than those outside.

There is also the finest dark night incense for people to enjoy. Many high-ranking generals lie on the soft silk satin, quietly puffing out smoke. Occasionally, they open their mouths, and pretty girls will pour mellow wine into their mouths bit by bit.

This is the new headquarters of the Nanyun Empire in the Dark Forest.

Sophie and Marceau, dressed in gorgeous clothes, socialized among many naval generals with ease, emptying their wallets without any hesitation, and by the way, emptying their bodies and souls.

The atmosphere of luxury floated in the air. The naval generals who had been drifting on the sea for a long time fell into the pink trap set by Sophie and Marceau almost without any resistance.

Not only did they take out all the money in their wallets, they also advanced the logistics officers' salaries for the next one, two, or even three to five years, just to enjoy this enchanting paradise a little longer.

Some generals who were not of high enough rank, had low salaries, or had insufficient family backgrounds, and who did not have enough financial resources to squander, had some of the most lethal weapons in the mountains of ammunition depots in the huge naval fleet become "battlefield consumption" with a casual flick of the fingers of Sophie and Marceau.

Rifles, artillery, bombs, and even new fighter planes, after being operated by some generals and casually written by some logistics officers, disappeared out of thin air and became reasonable war losses.

As a result, the tribal warriors under Xing Tianli's command had much better weapons in their hands.

I believe that if the combined fleet of Ingis and Saint-Norman had stayed at Ganqi Island for another half a year, half of this modern fleet consisting of more than two thousand large and small ships would have been "sunken" by these confused naval commanders!
"Hehe, males, so cute and pitiful!" Sophie and Marceau were running around like butterflies, their triumphant laughter sweetly making countless people feel itchy. Sophie walked past an Ingish Navy Vice Admiral, gently stroked his Adam's apple with her fingers, and laughed softly: "You bunch of little trash! Tsk tsk!"

A young girl came in lightly with light dance steps and a wisp of fragrance.

She came close to Marceau and chuckled softly in a beautiful voice that sounded like a bird's song.

Maso's eyes turned cold, she narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled softly and nodded: "Go and tell our terrible and confident adult that the poor fish, the fish that has been hooked, has swam back by itself."

"Tsk!" Maso chuckled and said, "Don't worry about our lord coming here. Today is the founding ceremony of the Nanyun Empire, isn't it? Congratulations to him for having a filial mixed-blood grandson. Hehehe!"

"Let me and our little earl have some fun first. I love watching those impotent males kneel before me and cry bitterly, letting me control their lives and deaths."

The girl sighed faintly: "It's a pity that we can't control that adult!"

Maso looked at the girl with an extremely strange look. She gently pinched the girl's ear and chuckled, "Little one, you are still young. You don't know the power of my master at all... It seems that we are controlled by that terrible adult. It seems that we are working for that confident and conceited adult..."

"But how do you know that when this Lord is controlling us, we are not controlling him in turn?"

"Those who gaze into the abyss are also gazed upon by the abyss."

"He who teases a poisonous snake will eventually be bitten by it!"

"laugh."

"This is a long game. Who wins and who loses? Who knows?"

Marceau twisted her slender waist, holding a long ivory pipe in her mouth, puffing smoke all the way, slowly walked through the chaotic hall, walked through the long corridor, entered the exquisitely constructed secret door, and followed the winding stairs downward to the secret room deep underground.

In the underground hall which was exquisitely furnished and extremely gorgeously decorated and filled with various Eastern antiques, Princess Yihe sat on an Eastern-style Luohan bed with a gloomy face, holding a fine porcelain teacup in both hands, with a frown on her face, in a daze.

Beside Princess Yihe, several old eunuchs in purple robes stood there quietly with their hands tucked into their sleeves, like wooden chickens.

Xing Tianqingshu, with a bleak expression on his face, was walking around the hall quickly with his hands behind his back, like a cat with chili sauce on its butt. Hearing the footsteps of Maso coming in, Xing Tianqingshu turned around abruptly, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and pounced in front of Maso, then knelt down with a thud.

"Ouch!" Marceau screamed in surprise, her face pale as a bewilderment, and she stepped aside very lightly, without any worldly air, like a dandelion in the wind, floating seven or eight feet away.

Several old eunuchs in purple robes suddenly raised their heads, staring at Marceau with grim eyes.

Marceau's movements were so light and graceful, and she made no sound at all when she landed. Such skills were inconsistent with her character as the last princess of the Kingdom of Farus.

Maso smiled nonchalantly at the old eunuchs, and said to Xing Tianqingshu in a fuss: "Oh, Lord Earl, we have been friends for many years, why do you have to be like this? Hey, I'm just a poor, homeless wanderer. I dare not accept your courtesy when you pay me such a great tribute!"

Without waiting for Xing Tianqingshu to speak or for Princess Yihe to express her opinion, Maso took a deep puff of his pipe and gently exhaled a long wisp of green smoke. Suddenly, a faint fragrance flowed in the air, and a refreshing and calming breath quickly spread out.

This is the finest dark night fragrance. Even if one is in a heavy mood like Xing Tianqingshu, or has a gloomy face like Princess Yihe, after inhaling this fragrance, one will inexplicably feel relaxed and his expression will become much better.

"You, have you made a fortune?" Marceau smiled brightly. "You must have made a fortune with the goods I gave you last time. Hee, are you going to redeem your real estate? Where's your silver? Where's your gold? I only accept cash here!"

Xing Tianqingshu's tears fell down with a "patter".

Maso looked at Xing Tianqingshu with a smile - Oh, poor, unlucky child, how difficult a situation had he encountered that he was forced to this extent?
Having operated in the East Country for many years, Maso has become well versed in the customs and culture of the East Country. Among the folks of the East Country, there is a saying that "Men don't shed tears easily", not to mention the Earl Xing Tianqingshu who holds a high position and lives a life of luxury.

Being able to cry in front of a weak woman like herself, and a foreign woman from a foreign country, according to the folk culture of the East, for Xing Tian Qingshu to be able to cry in front of Maso, this must mean that she had encountered an extremely difficult hurdle that she could not overcome.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Hey, you are in trouble." Marceau smiled frivolously: "Tell me, maybe we can work out a solution. Uh, you don't want to tell me about your payment... hehe!"

Marceau narrowed his eyes.

Princess Yihe sighed.

Xing Tianqingshu's whole body stiffened, and he began to howl hysterically.
