A lot has happened in the past period of time!

The most shocking thing was Fang's revenge, the revenge against the emperor.

In more than a month, the emperor and Fang Zhuo and Du Hui's decisive battle were completely victorious. Numerous ministers turned their backs. The chief assistant Fang Zhuo, cabinet minister Du Hui, and all the Fang's troops withdrew from the capital.

At that time, the entire empire was completely shocked, and they didn't understand why the Fang system did this. Why was the Fang system so powerful and gave way to the emperor?

But in this way, the empire's giants no longer dared to face the emperor's edge, Xuancheng Hou also obediently led his army to the south, ready to attack the sea and cope with changes.

In an instant, it seemed as if the imperial power had risen.

These ministers in the capital chanted long live.

Only the emperor did not dare to be optimistic. Instead, he ordered the capital to enter a state of combat readiness, and used cruel and iron-blooded means to purchase all the grains in the hands of the grain merchants forcibly.

Not only that, the emperor also ordered Princess Ning Xue to lead her army out to collect food.

The emperor was sensible, even wise, because he saw that Fang was about to retaliate.

really……

Just a few days!

The water transport is cut off! The sea is cut off!

Fang's retaliation method is to cut off food and completely blockade the capital!

The capital of the Daning Empire had a population of one million, and the food consumed every day was astronomical. In addition, almost all of the food was not self-produced and all was transported from outside.

Water transportation and sea transportation are the main sources of grain in the capital.

At this time, Liaodong has not yet been greatly developed. Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other provinces have suffered huge droughts and locust plagues in the past two years. Dubian also saw it when he passed through these areas, and countless hungry people were waiting to be fed and displaced.

The main grain-producing area of ​​the Daning Empire was in the south of the Yangtze River, up to Hubei in the north, and grain-deficient areas further north.

In particular, the food in the capital is completely dependent on the supply from the south of the Yangtze River. Su Hushu, the world is not a slogan, but a real existence.

Fang's retaliation method is vicious and effective.

His Royal Highness was unwilling to rebel directly, and was reluctant to smash the precious shell of the Daning Empire, so he came up with this unique plan.

They used millions of people in the capital as hostages to persecute the emperor. Changed a new method of struggle, but it was even more vicious.

That's why the young emperor ordered Fang Zhuo to be ill. Du Hui resigned as cabinet minister as the governor of Zhejiang, and completely withdrew his army from the capital.

In short, Fang Faction had one goal, forcing the emperor to abdicate!

Change to an emperor who is easier to control, and then proceed with the process of dove occupying the magpie's nest and replacing it.

Fortunately, the emperor made preparations. Before the Fang system completely blocked the capital, he used the army to directly buy all the grains of the grain merchants, not only the grain merchants in the capital, but also the grain merchants in all surrounding states and counties. Was forced to buy.

In those few days, all the grain merchants cursed the emperor every day.

Not only that, Princess Ning Xue also led her army to forcibly purchase most of the grain stored in the landlord's home.

After the grains are completely collected, they are then distributed absolutely evenly.

No matter how old you are, adult men will receive half a catty of food per day, and women and children will receive three to two foods a day. The army has eight taels of food per person per day.

The emperor has four or two a day, the queen has three or two a day, and the prince has five or two foods a day.

With such an even distribution, the stock of grain in the capital can last for more than half a year.

So although Fang's strategy is vicious, there has been no chaos in the capital so far, and no one has starved to death.

For more than a month.

The emperor insisted on eating four taels of grain every day, not much for half and taels, so he drank porridge at night.

The prince was also drinking porridge and said: "Father, our food can last for half a year. What should I do then?"

The emperor said: "This situation should have been foreseen long ago. I have never been optimistic. Our struggle with the Fang family is a long-term process. There is no shortage of problems and unevenness. As long as the army can eat enough, the common people can barely eat their stomachs. There is no chaos. As for when the blockade of the capital can be unlocked and the danger is turned into safety, it depends on Du's change. When will he be able to eliminate Li Ruhai, the blockade of the capital will naturally be solved."

The prince said: "What if Du Fan loses?"

The emperor paused for a moment and said: "If Du Bian loses, everything will return to the original position, and the southwest of the empire will fall. I, the emperor, will sin against himself and abdicate!"

At this time, the emperor spoke of this tone very calmly.

Then the emperor said: "Pay attention to the causal relationship. The reason why we build momentum and create the appearance of the rise of imperial power is to deter the military leaders. It is to make the two armies of Xuancheng and Jiange fight as hard as the sea and counteract changes. Now the effect is. It is still possible. Hou Xuancheng has already moved south and is about to enter Guangxi, and the army of Hou Jiange has also moved, and even has a small-scale fighting conflict with Li Ruhai."

But at this moment!

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the west of the palace, followed by a violent flame, followed by a stern cry for killing.

Only a moment later.

There was also a loud noise from the north of your palace, and then flames rose into the sky.

Then to the south...

Suddenly, the emperor's body trembled suddenly, his face pale.

The prince rushed out.

The entire capital was trembling, and the shouts of killing became stronger and louder.

There was an accident in the granary, and the three major granaries had an accident!

At this time, there were more than 60,000 soldiers and horses loyal to the emperor in the capital, and more than 30,000 soldiers were protecting these granaries. The defense was not rigorous, and it could almost be regarded as impenetrable.

However, something happened!

Standing at the highest point of the palace, the emperor watched the flames of the three big granaries burn higher and higher.

Only half an hour later, the sound of fighting ended.

Countless people are putting out the fire, not just the army, but even many people rushing out to water the fire.

...

A few hours later.

Princess Ning Xue knelt in front of the emperor, her eyes flushed, and her clothes were scorched everywhere.

"The enemy has infiltrated three thousand people, perhaps originally lurking in the capital, a full three thousand death squads. Using a weapon we completely unknown, almost instantly broke through the high wall of the warehouse, and then desperately fired."

Speaking of this, Princess Ning Xue said hoarsely: "I don't know why, those fires can't be extinguished at all, and water splashing is useless. They can only be buried with soil. Some flames are useless even if they are buried. Desperately fighting the fire. All the army and countless people are fighting the fire."

Of course Princess Ning Xue didn't know that the flame that could not be extinguished was the fire of white phosphorus, and there were countless kerosene.

Speaking of this, Princess Ning Xue could hardly continue.

He took a deep breath and said, "All the 3,000 death squads of the enemy have been killed. Our army has killed and injured thousands of people because of fire fighting, and nearly 10,000 innocent people have been killed and injured!"

The emperor shook his body abruptly and said, "How much food... is there left?"

Princess Ning Xue trembled: "Less than 20%!"

In other words, the food that could last for five months can only last for one month now.

At this time, Li Lianting stepped forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, more and more people in the capital come to the palace, without speaking, just looking at the palace gate."

The prince said: "Father, you must not tell the people the truth, otherwise there will be riots. The sons and ministers have a plan to transport the empty truck out every day, and then fill it with mud and sand, and then transport it in during the day, and then pretend to accidentally break it. The bag, with yellow, orange, and orange grain spilled from it, makes all the people in the capital think that grain is being shipped every day, there will be no shortage of food, and there will be no chaos in the capital."

The emperor smiled at the prince.

Taking a deep breath, the emperor walked outside the palace gate.

...

At this time, outside the palace gate, there were tens of thousands of people in the capital standing densely. After seeing the emperor, they were shocked for a while, and then all knelt down.

"Kow to see your majesty!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live..."

Then, all the people knelt on the ground, looking up at Emperor Tianyun, and no one even asked about the food.

But all the people here want to know if they can survive and if they have food.

"I know your intentions, just want to know if the food has been burned out, do you still have food to eat, and can you survive? Do you want to escape?" the emperor said gently.

As soon as this was said, the prince's face changed slightly. How could the father tell the people the truth? This way the capital will be messed up.

As soon as these words came out, no hundreds of people below had already started to cry.

"Don't flee the famine. The entire north is in bad conditions and is in a famine. If you flee from the famine, you will die on the road." The emperor said: "There is food in the south of the Yangtze River, but the water transportation was cut off and the shipping was cut off. The grain merchants who are most greedy for money dare not transport grain into the capital. You must all want to ask, how much of our grain is left?"

Suddenly, everyone looked at the emperor, they just wanted to know the answer.

"One month." The emperor said: "We still have more than one month of food. If water and shipping are not resumed in a month, the capital will run out of food and people will starve to death."

There is already a cry below.

The emperor bowed to countless people and said, "It is my incompetence that caused the people of Beijing to accompany me to suffer. But here I have two promises to tell everyone."

The emperor continued: "Don't worry about widowhood but worry about unevenness. In the past month, I have been cursed by countless grain merchants and landlords because I bought their food at a reasonable price, and some of them didn't even have money to give it. But I am also very proud. No one has starved to death in the capital in the past month."

Suddenly, no hundreds of people below chanted long live, interrupting the emperor's words.

For a long time, the people in the capital did not have a deep impression of the emperor, but in this month, countless people were grateful to the emperor.

Because the emperor distributed all the food evenly regardless of high or low, even the poorest people in the capital did not starve to death.

The emperor said: "So my first promise is that within the next month, all the food will still be distributed equally. As long as I and the queen have food, the people of the capital will have food, and I promise not to eat more than you. A grain."

Suddenly, countless people bowed down again and shouted: "Long live your majesty, long live long live."

The emperor said: "After that month, the food was eaten, but the capital still has no food, and it is still blocked. What should I do?"

Countless people looked up at the emperor.

Then the emperor said something that was not like the emperor.

"Then I promise to die ahead of you. As long as I die, there will be food coming in." The emperor said slowly.

Countless people were crying and crying, tears rushing out, and kowtow desperately.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Saint, Your Majesty Saint!"

At least at this moment, all the people in the capital will never forget Emperor Tianyun again.

The emperor entered the palace, but hundreds of people still knelt outside the palace gate, unwilling to leave, crying desperately.

That night, more than thousands of elderly people committed suicide!

There is only one reason. They feel that they are old and there is no need to waste food. If they can save a little more food, they can save the emperor a little more life.

After hearing the news, the emperor cried in silence for a long time.

...

Inside the palace.

The prince knelt in front of the emperor, howling and crying, desperately kowtowing: "Why is this, why is this?"

The emperor said: "They may not care about the lives of countless people in the capital, but I can't care less. When the day comes, I will just do what they want, and I will sever myself. Moreover, I have fought with them and won the fight. One time, I didn't die under the persecution of this official. It is still glorious to die for countless people in the capital."

Then, the emperor slapped the table and said, "Besides, I might not die! Jiangehou has sent troops, and Xuanchenghou has also sent troops. Didn’t the intelligence say that Du Bian’s army expanded very quickly? Although Li Ruhai was wiped out in more than a month It sounds ridiculous, but this miracle may not be impossible. Once Li Ruhai is annihilated, the blockade of the capital will be broken."

Annihilated Li Ruhai in a month?

How can it be? Li Ruhai has an army of four to five million, while Du Bian has only a few tens of thousands.

Although Jiange Hou and Xuancheng Hou had sent troops, they probably did not contribute much.

If Li Ruhai was wiped out within a month, it would be impossible for the sun to rise from the west.

The emperor said: "Li Lianting, have all the Xuancheng Hou clan arrested?"

Li Lianting said: "Catch it."

The emperor said: "If Xuancheng Hou dared to stand still, if he dared to work without any effort, he would punish his clan."

Li Lianting kowtowed: "According to the purpose!"

At this time, Li Lianting's heart was so bitter that he didn't even dare to tell the emperor that Du Bian had been missing for more than a month.

The emperor looked up at the sky outside and said to himself: "Is it really impossible to completely wipe out the Great Yan Kingdom of Li's in more than a month?"

...

Why would the blockade of the capital be broken as long as Du Bian eliminated the Li family?

On the surface, once Li Ruhai is destroyed, Du Bian will dominate the entire southwest of the empire. If the party does not unlock the blockade of the capital, Du Bian will directly lead his army into the big granary in Hubei, and then forcefully use the army to get through to the capital. The food road.

But it will take a long time and it is too late.

The actual reason is that once Dubian eliminates the Li family, Dubian will gain the entire southwestern land and become strong and powerful. Even if the emperor is dead by that time, the crown prince will have great power to rely on.

The worst situation is that after the crown prince ascended the throne, he went south to the southwest of the empire and entered the territory of the Dubian. It is very likely that Dubian would take the emperor to make the princes. That would be a lot cheaper for Dubian.

Therefore, once Du Bian wiped out Li Ruhai in the southwest, the biggest beneficiary of the emperor's death would become Du Bian, and Fang Element would not do such a stupid thing.

Therefore, as long as Du Bian suppressed Li Ruhai, the blockade of the capital would naturally be resolved.

...

In the southwest of the empire, in a secret branch of the Holy Fire.

Li Hou Hou's beautiful eyes coldly said: "Du Bian, you go to death, the ashes will be wiped out, the soul will be scattered!"

Then Du Bian's body was suddenly thrown into the pale and terrifying flame of hell.

In an instant, Du Bian's body was completely swallowed by the terrifying pale hellfire and disappeared.

The situation is exactly the same as before.

Du Bian seemed to have disappeared directly.

Li Houhou pointed at the hellfire and said loudly towards the thousands of holy fire soldiers: "Did you see it? Did you see it?"

"Du Bian was burned to death by the sacred flame of hell. He is a false god."

"His so-called immortality is a complete lie."

Suddenly, the expressions in the eyes of countless torch soldiers gradually changed.

Du Bian really wasn't Vulcan leaning over, he was burned to death by life in hell.

Was he really acting in everything on the battlefield before that?

Suddenly, the impression of countless torch soldiers Du Bian was sacred and powerful.

Li Houyu was overjoyed, and then he only had to perform another trick, deep into the white flames without dying, she would regain all the faith and worship of the Holy Fire Army, and she would become the supreme fire demon saint again.

Li Houhou looked at the hellfire, and said in his heart: "Du Bian should have broken your body into pieces. It would be too cheap for you to be burned to ashes by the hellfire like this."

Immediately afterwards, she raised her right hand high and said, "Du Bian is dead, Du Bian is dead, Du Bian is dead..."

Her guards also chanted, "Du Bian is dead, and the false **** is dead!"

In the beginning dozens of people chanted, and then hundreds of people, thousands of people chanted: "Du Bian is dead, the false **** is dead!"

however……

Just at this time!

Within the flames of hell, a figure appeared!

Golden figure!

The same scene as before appeared.

The Nine Sun Scriptures within Du Bian's dantian began to spin frantically, becoming an energy vortex, constantly devouring the energy of hellfire.

Immediately afterwards, the golden figure began to gradually turn into darkness, a dark light and shadow of the silhouette of a human body.

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

Including Li Houhou was completely shocked and couldn't believe his eyes.

She knew deeply in her heart that the so-called Vulcan messenger was fake, and the so-called resurrection was also fake.

Hellfire can burn everything and destroy everything.

What is going on in this scene?

Immediately afterwards, even more terrifying and terrifying things happened.

The huge **** sacred flame is gradually disappearing!

It seemed to be swallowed by Dubian bit by bit and entered the body.

Li Huhou felt her scalp tingling, she was really dead and she didn't want to believe the scene in front of her.

It is simply subverting the Three Views.

Is there really a **** in this world?

Is there really a Vulcan messenger?

Li Houhou felt that he couldn't believe it, but the thousands of Holy Fire soldiers present were extremely fanatical and extremely excited.

To be burned by the sacred fire of **** without dying, and even conquered the sacred fire of hell, this, this is the messenger of the **** of fire.

They have truly witnessed miracles!

No words can describe the excitement of thousands of torch soldiers.

Their beliefs have been answered, and their beliefs are worthwhile.

All the **** sacred flames disappeared and were completely swallowed by Dubian.

And this time, Du Bian didn't need to fall into a faint again, because his dantian and veins had been completely transformed.

After swallowing all the sacred flames of hell, Du Bian, barely covered, walked out slowly.

He raised his hands high.

Suddenly, one after another, the Holy Fire soldiers knelt down, and kowtowed: "Meet the Vulcan messenger, and worship the Vulcan messenger!"

"Meet the master!"

"Meet the master!

The unprecedented enthusiasm of these thousands of torch sects has even far exceeded the enthusiasm for the saint of fire demon Li Houhou before.

After all, they didn't see it with their own eyes after the resurrection of the Fire Demon Saintess, they just heard the legend.

And the miracle in front of them was what they saw with their own eyes.

The object of their kneeling, they called the master, of course, not Li Houhou, but Du Bian!

Suddenly, Li Huhou almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. No words could describe her unwillingness and anger in her heart at this time. This is her carefully crafted army, this is her most elite holy fire army.

At this moment, actually kneeling in front of Du Bian and shouting to the master?

She is going crazy!

Looking at Du Bian's back, her beautiful eyes were full of bitter hatred.

...

"Meet the master!"

"Meet the master!"

Thousands of holy fire soldiers, like a tide, bowed down and bowed their heads one after another.

Du Bian raised his hands high, enjoying their worship.

He got another army, an extremely fanatical, extremely powerful army.

Moreover, the loyalty of this army will be eternal. At this moment, as long as Du Bian gives an order, this army can attack the Liruhai Great Flame Kingdom without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Du Bian's eyes were cold and said: "The demon girl Li Hunhu, offends Vulcan, the sin cannot be redeemed, punish her!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Holy Fire Cultists were slightly taken aback, after all, Li Hun Hun was once their Fire Demon Saint.

Du Bian said: "This demon girl's name is Li Xunyu. Her resurrection from death is fake. She and Li Qianqian are just twin brothers and sisters~lightnovelpub.net~ I killed Li Qianqian, and then she appeared as Li Qianqian. In front of the world, a trick of resurrection was staged. This is a fake fire demon saint who deceived and offended Vulcan, and killed her according to the will of Vulcan!"

"Vulcan will kill the demon girl!"

"Vulcan will kill the demon girl!"

Suddenly, thousands of torch soldiers drew out their swords and rushed towards Li Huhou.

They were indeed the most loyal and fanatical group of people, and they actually obeyed Du Fan's orders to kill their former master.

Li Houhou's eyes were about to split, looking at Du Bian's back, and roaring: "Du Bian, you go to die, go to die..."

Then, she exhausted all her cultivation, opened her claws and rushed towards Du Bian.

No matter how high her martial arts is, she is no match for a few thousand people.

But her martial arts are extremely good, if she wants to run, these thousands of torch cults can't stop her.

However, of course she was not reconciled to leave like this, letting Du Bian be domineering here. Let Du become her army.

She tried all means to kill Du Bian.

"Du Bian, die, die..."

The demon girl Li Houhou's claws grabbed Du Bian's neck abruptly, grabbed Du Bian's right arm with the other hand, exhausted all her profound energy, and wanted to tear Du Bian alive.

Her martial arts is so great that it will really tear Dubian apart.

However, at this time, Du Bian sneered.

"Witch, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, let you enjoy the taste of hellfire."

Suddenly, a white **** flame emerged from Du Bian's palm.

"Ah..." Li Houhou made an unprecedented sorrowful cry!
