Evening photos of rivers and mountains in the seven realms

The wind pulls the red flag, facing the sun gate.

Before the expedition, in addition to making people excited and excited, there is always a trace of chill and bleakness, which floats in the air and cannot go away.

The weather is not very good, the gray sky is low on the top of the head, it seems to bring a little ominous sign.Believe it or not, I always feel that this journey will be full of misfortunes, destined to be stained red with countless blood.It's just that I don't know, did the blood that spilled between the heaven and the earth come from the people of Baitu, or the soldiers of Yuxi?

Or, a little bit of both.

On the high platform built in front, stood... two people.

Counting from ten days ago, it was the first time that everyone saw Mr. Yi whose identity was a mystery.Standing slightly behind Yan Haoling, he seemed to be blending into the emptiness around him.Everyone present, including Yan Haoling, were all dressed in heroic armor, but he was the only one in a plain white gown, which made people feel a little lonely.

Probably did not expect him to appear on this occasion, and almost stood side by side with the emperor, all eyes were on this Young Master Yi for a moment.However, all the gazes combined are not as hot as a single person.

He looked at him, and he didn't look at him.

Lie Yi quietly looked at the soldiers who were about to go to battle below, even if it was not his intention, he still couldn't help but imagine how many of them would never be able to return to their homeland.And among these soldiers who stained the land of other countries with blood, how many filial sons under the mother's knees, the majestic father in the eyes of the children, and... the tender lover in the heart of the girl?

War is always cruel, no matter how high-sounding the banner is.No matter how righteous the reason is, it cannot be the consolation of the deceased and their families.What's more, the war that is about to be waged now cannot be crowned with the name of justice.

This is aggression.

Even if Yan Haoling couldn't guess the specific content of Lie Yi's thoughts at the moment, she could understand his mood. The compassion in those cold eyes missed his emotions.

"Before the appointment, I have something to announce." Yan Haoling said suddenly, but instantly caught the attention of everyone present.I just feel that the emperor is talking beside me, and the voice spreads to every corner, clear and full of bewitching power.

Yan Haoling said while holding Lie Yi's hand.If it were done in private, this would be an extremely habitual gesture, but on this occasion, it immediately attracted Lie Yi's attention.This has nothing to do with whether it is free and easy, it is really too shocking.Holding hands in front of thousands of troops, one of them is Emperor Xilan.

There have been countless whispers in the audience, because the target is the supreme emperor, everyone dare not be blatant.It's just that the suspicious eyes are always uncontrollable, and those comments are quietly uttered to the companions beside him.

Yan Haoling no matter how his actions violated the principles of ethics and nature, he just felt satisfied, regardless of the original intention, Yan Haoling was still willing to look at him after all.As long as he is willing to look at himself, what are those suspicions?Of all the people in the audience, none of them really cared about him.

Holding his hand, Yan Haoling walked forward a few steps, and didn't stop until she reached the edge of the high platform.Every step he took was so arrogant that he had no hesitation with...

Lie Yi's face was calm, even though his heart was full of turmoil, he still couldn't see any clues from his face.Considering that in front of everyone, he didn't forcibly withdraw his palm.If there is a dispute with Yan Haoling here, it will definitely be more eye-catching than holding hands like this.

Yan Haoling glanced around the audience, because of the distance, it was actually impossible for him to see everyone's faces clearly, but all the discussions stopped abruptly, a bit abruptly.Everyone stopped their ongoing suspicions, not only because of Yan Haoling's piercing eyes, but also because everyone had a premonition that what would be announced next... must be a big event.

Who said it wasn't, how could it not be a trivial matter to be announced by the emperor himself in front of all the generals of the Yuxi Army on the occasion of the expedition?

"Even if I don't say what the purpose of this expedition is, you already know it in your heart. Baitu is just the first step for our army." She didn't deliberately exaggerate anything, Yan Haoling just told the truth.Simple to ordinary language, do not have the power to shake people's hearts.

The soldiers raised their swords and shouted in unison, "Squeeze the seven realms, unify the world! Smash the seven realms, unify the world! Smash the seven realms, unify the world!!!"

Yan Haoling made a gesture to stop the soldiers' frenzied shouting.As far as the current situation is concerned, there is no need to encourage anything, Yan Haoling's existence itself is already the most perfect and exciting words. "Before going out, I still have one thing that must be done."

It's hard to imagine that a place where tens of thousands of people gather can be so quiet.He could only hear the sound of the wind passing through the venue, even his breathing was deliberately suppressed, and countless eager eyes focused on Yan Haoling's body.No one can guess what unfinished business needs to be done by the emperor before the expedition, and it is precisely because of this unpredictability that everyone's emotions are provoked to the highest point and it is difficult to suppress.

Excited and nervous.

"I have an oath, I declare it to the heavens here!" Yan Haoling knelt down while speaking.Look up, in order to let the sound reach the heaven.

Yan Haoling didn't pull him to kneel down, but she didn't let go either.Lie Yi had no choice but to stand beside him, overlooking the handsome man who was kneeling on the ground.

Before the expedition, it is nothing new for the commander to kneel down and swear to the sky like this, and Yan Haoling is not the first king to do so.Generally speaking, the content of the oath is to thank God for rewarding God and so on, begging God to bless the war with success and the martial arts to be prosperous.

But at this moment, Lie Yi had a different emotion in his heart, and he always felt that it was not that simple.How could the oath that Yan Haoling promised in such a solemn tone fall into the cliché?If it was really common sense to make a wish to the sky, why would he... hold his hand.

Before Lie Yi had time to see through his true thoughts, Yan Haoling's voice had already sounded.Some gorgeous voices trembled not only the surrounding air, not only the eardrums of Yuxi Army generals, but also Lie Yi's heart. At that moment, he almost forgot how to beat.

"I, Yan Haoling, hereby swear that if this trip can realize my long-cherished wish, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, seven realms of the world, I would like to share it with the people around me!"

It felt extremely painful, as if a wound had been pierced in the chest that could never heal again.This kind of pain is not only sharp, but also extremely hot, creeping, burning all the way to the limbs, it seems that all the blood and bones will be reduced to ashes here, immersed in his oath.

"Separation of imperial power is really irrational." Lie Yi smiled bitterly, and the sound transmission could not convey the true emphasis in his voice completely, but from that almost helpless smile, Yan Haoling could already know for sure that at this time he His throat must be vibrating violently and hurting.

She squeezed his hand harder, and Yan Haoling also responded with sound transmission. "It doesn't matter whether you are rational or not, it is enough for you to hear these words."

With his pull, Yan Haoling got up.Facing the entire army, he solemnly declared, "From now on, in the Yuxi Army and in Xilan Country, Yi's words are equivalent to mine, seeing Yi is like seeing a king."

The ancient truth that there are no two commanders in the army, and there are no two kings in the country is broken here.Yan Haoling didn't put Lie Yi in the second position next to him, and he didn't even think about what kind of impact this order would have if one day he went against Lie Yi.

He just wanted to say it, so he said it.

The smile became more bitter, for a while, Lie Yi almost didn't dare to look him in the eyes, for fear of revealing everything.

Almost exhausted all the wisdom and resilience, only to find a word that can make time continue. "I was dragged into the water by you now, and I don't believe it if I want to stay out of it in the future."

Gladly accepting his pretending to be relaxed, Yan Haoling also complies with his wishes. "This is my purpose, if not, how could Yi be willing to lend me his ability?"

It wasn't until this battle was won and Baitu had been officially included in Xilan's territory that Lie Yi raised this question again, very seriously, trying to find out what Yan Haoling was thinking at that time.

"Of course it's for Yi to help me."

Of course Lie Yi would not believe the obvious perfunctory. "Before this battle, I didn't do anything, so it's not worth your half Xilan in exchange."

Yan Haoling admired his sharpness and calmness, but also couldn't laugh or cry. What was left was a little bit of bitterness on the tip of his heart. "Would you believe me if I said that I just made up a reason to tie you by my side?"

After a long silence, Lie Yi gave a four-word evaluation, "The king's selfishness."

"What's wrong with the king?" Yan Haoling didn't think so. "Everyone in the world is selfish, and the king is also a human being, and the king has the right to be selfish."

Even if the world is used to fill this selfishness, it is not hesitating.
