Chapter 222 After that day, the sun never set again
Gao Changsheng nodded heavily.
After knowing Tuanzi's identity, he thought about the Temple of War God in his mind.
But honestly speaking, he hadn't really thought about this aspect. After all, they had only known each other for a short time, and he had been focusing on other things recently.
Now, after Gao Jiong's advice, he really felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.
This dumpling that fell from the sky was truly a blessing for him.
At this moment, Gao Ying seemed to have just thought of this:
"A divine beast descended from the sky, and it just happened to involve the key inheritance for the future. Haha, Chang'er, you are really blessed by luck."
Gao Changsheng also smiled slightly and said that it was luck that favored him. Lu Xiaofeng also contributed partly to this, although the other party's experience was not very wonderful.
"The legend of the Temple of War God has been around for a long time. Has my Great Sui Dynasty never thought of taking advantage of it?" Gao Changsheng wondered.
Gao Jiong's proposal proved that he was quite familiar with the inside story of the Temple of War God.
If he knew, it meant that all the top leaders of the Sui Dynasty knew about it.
The God of War Atlas, the inheritance of the Lord of War Chi You, and even the Temple of the God of War itself are all rare treasures.
Gao Changsheng didn't believe that the Sui Dynasty would not be tempted by such a treasure.
You should know that there are many generals in the Sui Dynasty who practice Qi and blood. If they can get the inheritance, the strength of the Sui Dynasty will definitely be greatly enhanced. Not to mention other things, just King Kaoshan, if he breaks through, can add three points of combat power to the Sui Dynasty.
"Of course I have ideas." Gao Ying shook his head and smiled.
"In fact, although the War God Temple has its own trajectory, it is not too difficult to capture it."
"Then Lu Miaozi is hiding in Pegasus Ranch. We in the Great Sui also have Yuwen Kai. If the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to find the location of the Temple of the God of War."
"The difficult part is what happens after you find it." He sighed.
"If you want to enter the Temple of War, the first thing you have to face is the demon dragon."
"According to historical records, in the beginning, the demon dragon was just a giant snake. But as countless years passed, it transformed from a python into a dragon. It can be seen that the demon dragon's strength is constantly increasing."
Gao Jiong smiled bitterly: "You must be wondering why the Sui Dynasty did not mobilize the army?"
Gao Changsheng nodded.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.”
"The War God Temple has the ability to move autonomously. Even if Lu Miaozi and Yuwen Kai work together, they can only make it appear briefly at most."
"But if we suppress him with a military formation, it will only stimulate the Temple of the God of War and make him escape again."
“Unless we mobilize all our elite troops, the Sun and Moon Cavalry, and join forces with our brave warriors, along with Yang Su and I, to set up a unique formation and freeze the entire void.”
"But even so, I can't be 100% sure."
"Mobilizing the entire army just for a possibility is too costly."
"If it was just a simple failure and the War God Temple escaped, it would not be a big deal, except for the loss of some resources."
"I'm afraid that the operation of the formation will destroy the original trajectory of the War God Temple, and the void will vibrate, and it is very likely that this treasure house will be driven to the land outside the Great Sui Dynasty."
"If we keep it in the Sui Dynasty, even if we can't get it for now, we still have time to find a way in the future. But if the treasure house leaves the Sui Dynasty, it really means that the inheritance will be gone for the Sui Dynasty."
"Of course, for our Great Sui, the most important thing is still that big event, and we don't want to waste time and energy on other things."
"I see."
"Then how should I deal with that evil dragon?" Gao Changsheng asked.
"If you are alone, I would suggest you not to be too anxious and wait until you are sure before going to the War God Temple."
Gao Jiong chuckled and said, "But who could have thought that the iron-eating beast would suddenly appear beside you?"
"In the War God Temple, the demon dragon only stays in the water flow surrounding it. In theory, it is just like the beast guarding the mountain at the foot of the mountain gate. Its role is just to guard the gate."
"And the Iron-eating Beast is Chi You's mount. It can be considered a companion. It is the true guardian of the Temple of the God of War."
"Although it has left the Temple of War God, it definitely knows the way back. If you can cultivate a good relationship with it, you won't even need Lu Miaozi."
"And if the Iron-eating Beast takes you there, it's very likely that it will go directly to the inner hall."
Gao Ying laughed out loud:
"Perhaps one day, the entire War God Temple may fall into your hands."
And as the laughter fell.
Gao Ying's figure also began to fade slowly until it disappeared completely.
There was no goodbye, not even a hello.
Gao Jiong left the forbidden area in this way.
Gao Changsheng understood what the other party meant.
No matter how many words you say at this moment, it will be meaningless.
If you succeed, we'll meet again someday.
Although Gao Ying's mentality had changed because of what he said before.
But when it comes down to it, all his words were actually about making arrangements for his funeral.
Before thinking about victory, think about failure first. Even if you are confident, you still have to consider the possibility of a defeat.
After taking a deep look at the altar in the middle, Gao Changsheng turned around and walked away from the forbidden area which had become deserted again.
……
Time seems to flow like water.
Seven days passed by in a flash.
Gao Mansion, study.
Gao Changsheng sat calmly on the chair.
Since leaving the palace and returning to Gao Mansion, Gao Changsheng has never left the palace again except for one visit on the third day.
These days, he has been staying quietly in the study.
Outside the study, in the Gao family's courtyard, a figure was looking in the direction of the study with confusion.
It was none other than Lu Xiaofeng.
Yes, at this moment, the hero Lu with four-day eyebrows was wondering.
Since returning to Daxing, Lu Xiaofeng has been fulfilling his oath.
Stay away from Gao Changsheng.
In short, he couldn't believe any punctuation mark that Gao Changsheng said.
But after returning to the capital.
Gao Changsheng did not set a trap for him again, and never even looked for him. Since entering Daxing, the two have not spoken a word to each other until now.
Of course, Lu Xiaofeng is not a cheap person.
It is impossible that there will be any psychological gap because of these things.
What he was puzzled about at this moment was not this matter, but Gao Changsheng's current actions.
You know, Gao Changsheng experienced a great victory and returned to Beijing with an amazing halo.
He turned the tide and saved the collapsing empire. He was the savior of the entire Sui Dynasty and the number one person in the military today.
The most important thing is that a few days ago, the Sui Dynasty court had held a ceremony to confer the title of king.
In other words, Gao Changsheng is no longer the Duke of Qi, but a true king, the king of a different surname.
The prince's title was exactly the two words "Zhen Guo" that Yang Lin had carved at that time.
Of course, these two words are definitely not the ones officially registered. After all, since ancient times, the title of king has been respected with one word.
Just like Yang Lin at the beginning, the words "Kaoshan" are just titles of superiors and subordinates. His actual title is the "Wei" of the Wei State, so Yang Lin is actually the King of Wei, but the word "Kaoshan" is more famous.
Gao Changsheng’s title was “Wu”, which means King Wu.
In fact, when the proposal was first made in the court, the name that was intended to be awarded to Gao Changsheng was another one, Sui as in Great Sui, but Gao Changsheng refused.
Although this word looks more prominent, it is too conspicuous and to some extent also represents a kind of shackles.
Some details about Gao Changsheng's enthronement as king had already spread in Daxing, and of course Lu Xiaofeng had also heard about it.
King Wu, the military leader who guards the country, controls the entire army with the king's order, which can be said to be extremely prominent.
But such a newly-promoted prince has been hiding at home for so many days after the coronation ceremony.
Lu Xiaofeng turned his head slightly and glanced around.
His brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
With just one glance, he could feel that eyes were coming at him from all around, inside and outside the palace.
And the gaze was exactly where Gao Changsheng was.
There was a flicker in his eyes, and the look of confusion almost overflowed from his eyes.
"Gao Changsheng, what are you doing? What are you thinking about?" This was not the first time Lu Xiaofeng entered Gao's mansion.
After returning from Goguryeo, he stayed in Gao Mansion for a period of time.
So he actually knew very well that Gao Changsheng didn't like socializing.
As for the attention that Gao Mansion has attracted, that is normal. After all, Gao Changsheng was already a celebrity in Daxing back then, not to mention now.
If that were all, Lu Xiaofeng would definitely not do this.
In fact, if you walk out of Daxing and onto the street.
It can be found that not only the area around Gao Mansion, but the entire Daxing City is now looking in two directions, the Imperial Palace and Gao Mansion.
And most of their eyes were looking at Gao Mansion.
Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth, then raised his head and squinted at the sky.
Through the slits of the eyes, you can clearly see a huge round sun hanging in the center of the sky.
It can be said that this is a very normal picture, but Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
There is no other reason, because the time now is midnight.
Yes, the time now is midnight.
But in the sky, there is a shining sun hanging.
You can imagine how terrifying and disturbing this is.
In fact, this scene is not the first time.
Four days ago in the evening, after the sun set in the west, a big sun suddenly emerged and appeared in the center of the sky.
Since then, they have never seen the night again.
And from beginning to end, the big sun in the sky did not move at all, just hanging in the center of the sky.
Lu Xiaofeng was not a fool. He knew at the first moment that something had happened, and it was a big deal.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been a phenomenon of eternal day without night.
The sun that never sets does not bring eternal light, but is more likely to bring endless darkness.
Of course, Lu Xiaofeng also knew a little bit.
That thing in the sky is definitely not the sun as ordinary people understand it, but is caused by other things.
The real sun has not disappeared either.
The most likely possibility is that this is just a local phenomenon.
At the beginning, Lu Xiaofeng only thought that this was limited to Daxing City, and it was some master or the Sui Dynasty court had some action.
But these days, he looked everywhere, even left Daxing and investigated in all directions.
Ten miles away, a hundred miles away, when I looked up, the scene was still the same.
Lu Xiaofeng knew that this matter was really serious.
Hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, half of the Sui Dynasty, or even the entire Sui Dynasty.
Even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Although there was no evidence, he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart that this sudden abnormality might very well involve the entire Sui Dynasty.
In fact, Lu Xiaofeng’s guess was not wrong.
The areas surrounding the Great Sui Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yang, and the Northern Mang, etc.
In these countries, the sun rises in the east and sets in the normal time.
But if someone stands at the border, especially at night, they will see a huge ball of light appearing in front of them, and they will not be able to see the details inside, as if it were wrapped in an invisible film.
Ordinary people don’t know this, and even if they see it, they dare not pay any attention to it.
But those masters with keen perception, as well as some who had a glimpse of the inside story, all looked up in the direction of the Great Sui Dynasty at the same time.
Compared with the surrounding areas, the reaction within the Sui Dynasty was undoubtedly more intense.
On the first day, everyone just treated it as a curiosity.
But as time went by, one day, two days, and three days passed, the original curiosity slowly turned into uneasiness and horror.
Especially some forces, they thought of something almost immediately.
In just a moment, unrest arose again in all parts of the Sui Dynasty.
However, compared to the situation after Yumen Pass, the current situation is undoubtedly much better.
After all, everyone saw with their own eyes the blood-red flag that flew across the sky and entered Daxing.
Gao Changsheng, these three big words undoubtedly made all the boiling blood cool in an instant.
But looking at the strange sight in the sky, many people couldn't help but feel emotional.
There is restlessness hidden in the repression.
This is the current situation of the Sui Dynasty.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this situation will not last long.
Lu Xiaofeng looked deeply into the study.
Especially since Gao Changsheng hasn't shown up yet, God knows at what point those restless people will be completely out of control.
"Om~"
Just at this moment, a vibration suddenly occurred.
Lu Xiaofeng raised his head blankly.
I saw a moon emitting a cold light appear in the sky at some point.
The bright moon rose into the sky, and the original big sun suddenly moved.
Just like this, one in the east and one in the west, the sun and the moon were suspended in the sky at the same time, facing each other from afar.
"Buzz~buzz~buzz~"
Obscure and invisible waves continuously emanated from all around the sky, making people's hearts tremble unconsciously.
"Brother Lu."
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the study. It was Gao Changsheng.
At this time, Lu Xiaofeng even forgot the previous method and walked into the study without hesitation.
"Brother Gao, what is the current situation of the Sui Dynasty..."
As soon as he walked in, Lu Xiaofeng asked immediately.
But Gao Changsheng did not answer, but just said:
"Brother Lu, Gao has something that I need your help with."
Familiar voice, familiar content.
It immediately awakened Lu Xiaofeng from his shock.
"What? Impossible?"
The exclamation came out like a conditioned reflex.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped up.
"Gao Changsheng, I'm telling you, give up your idea as soon as possible. I, Lu Xiaofeng, will never help you do anything again."
"Absolutely! Impossible!"
Lu Xiaofeng shouted word by word.
Then he turned around and walked out the door.
As for the situation outside, he was not worried. Who was Gao Changsheng? In Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, he was just a villain among villains. How could he just ignore him?
Even if Gao Changsheng can't do anything about it, what can he do? He, Lu Xiaofeng, is not a member of the Sui Dynasty.
Anyway, he would never be able to help Gao Changsheng again in his life. Even a fool would fall into the trap a few times, let alone him, Lu Xiaofeng.
"Crench."
Lu Xiaofeng sneered and opened the door of the study.
Then he saw a dark shadow that was far larger than the building.
The huge body, simple colors, and the cute yet ferocious smile.
Especially the black right hand, which was holding an iron mace that was as tall as two people.
"Gudong~
Lu Xiaofeng swallowed hard and closed the door again at lightning speed.
She forced a smile on her face that was uglier than crying:
"Brother Gao, I've thought about it and think we can talk about what happened before."
