Xuan Chengzi led so many Taoist friends to come to help the court. In fact, the one thing he wanted to achieve most was to gain a good reputation in front of His Majesty.

It is unlikely that in the future, this unparalleled emperor of the Wei Kingdom will do something that will threaten the development of the Taoist sect.

He followed Zhao Changqing to the barracks. The latter ordered Zhao Yun to set up another tent in the camp and asked him to transfer a seriously ill and injured soldier to this camp. Currently, the soldier's condition was very unstable and his consciousness had appeared.

It was blurry and in a state of semi-consciousness and semi-consciousness.

Zhao Changqing looked at the dying soldier and said to Xuan Chengzi: "This disease is very strange, the onset time is extremely fast, and the fatality rate is extremely high.

So far, the military doctors in our camp have been unable to find out the real cause of the disease, so they have nowhere to prescribe medicine. They can only focus on lowering the fever and relieving the patient's pain.

I still say the same thing, if you can really cure him, I will immediately declare Taoism to the world and make Taoism the state religion of Wei from now on, guiding the people of Wei to respect Taoism and Confucianism.

But having said that, if you can't cure him, I won't let you go no matter what forces are standing behind you or how superb your own martial arts are."

Hearing the emperor's aggressive tone, Xuan Chengzi naturally felt a little worried, because when he saw this soldier, his condition was really bad.

Wanting to know more about the situation, he had to feel the pulse of the soldier. After a while, after he had figured out the situation, a smile appeared on Xuan Chengzi's serious face, and he said confidently:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although the old Taoists have never seen this plague, but their witchcraft and Gu sect can create it, then our Taoist sect can naturally cure it and solve this plague."

Zhao Changqing nodded and asked: "Okay, how many days do you need, and what kind of help do you need during this period?"

Xuanchengzi pretended to be thoughtful, twirled his beard, stretched out three fingers, and said: "It will take up to three days, because within these three days, Pindao has to keep testing the medicine on this soldier.

As for what kind of help...well...I just hope that Your Majesty can call two Taoist friends from outside the city to come and help me."

Zhao Changqing immediately made a decision and said: "I will immediately tell others to do it. I hope that you, an old man, will not break your promise. Otherwise, when the emperor is angry, you should know the price."

Xuan Chengzi bowed deeply to Zhao Changqing and said: "I understand, I would like to thank your majesty."

Zhao Changqing ordered the soldiers around him: "Go outside the city and call two Taoists over, and then send more people around this camp. Once Taoist Xuanchengzi gives you any orders, don't hesitate and go and do it immediately.

But remember, what Taoist Master Xuanchengzi does is of great importance, and he cannot be left without someone to serve him."

The soldiers standing next to him naturally understood what His Majesty meant by these words. After receiving the order, they went down to make arrangements.

Xuan Chengzi smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "He is indeed a heroic leader. In his hands, the Wei Dynasty will prosper! No wonder she fell in love with him regardless of everything.

Come to think of it, there is probably no woman in the world who does not admire such a young and courageous emperor, but... can an emperor and a man in the world have any good results in the end?

well!"

Zhao Changqing came out of this temporary small tent because he received an emergency military report, but he was still a little worried about this old Taoist, so he whispered to Zhao Yun:

"We must keep a close eye on him, find time to talk to him, and find out what his background is."

Zhao Yun bowed and said: "The last general has given orders."

Zhao Changqing nodded and went to see Jian Yi.

The person who has urgent military information to report is none other than Jian Yi.

In the military camp, there was a dragon tent that belonged to Zhao Changqing. In the dragon tent, he saw Jian Yi who was sweating profusely. Without hesitation, he went straight to the point and immediately asked: "How is the situation in Xin Erzhou now?"

Jian Yi didn't even have time to drink hot water, and said directly: "Both Duan and Xinzhou have been captured, and none of our 60,000 defenders have been spared. Currently, among the rebels, there is a middle-aged man named Miao Zhan, who calls himself Tian Ce Da.

The general is leading 600,000 rebels towards the city, and they will probably be at the city gates early tomorrow morning."

"Miao Zhan?" Zhao Changqing was somewhat familiar with this name and couldn't remember who it was. However, it was not the time to consider this issue right now. He immediately ordered to Jianyi:

"Go and recruit 100,000 elite soldiers. Remember, the 100,000 elite soldiers in my army must be camped outside the city. These 100,000 soldiers should ideally be the soldiers who dined with the sick soldiers yesterday.

I will lead this hundred thousand troops tomorrow to fight to the death with the enemy."

After Jianyi heard the sound, he was immediately horrified and said: "Your Majesty, no, you are a man of ten thousand gold, how can you come to the battlefield in person?"

Zhao Changqing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "In the melee of the army, I have my own means of self-protection. You don't need to worry about this. If you dare to persuade me in extraordinary times, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Jian Yi clasped his fists solemnly and said: "The last general has given orders!"

This time, he did not call himself a subordinate, but a general.

He has already made a plan in his heart. The four thousand Jiange disciples brought from the capital this time will vow to advance and retreat with His Majesty!

outside the city.

More than a hundred soldiers are setting up camp for those in the Taoist sect, allowing them to rest here tonight.

Although these Taoists lived outside the city unwillingly, no one complained at this moment, because Senior Xuanchengzi had spoken like that, so what else could they do?

You can only obey your orders.

On the side, the mysterious little Taoist nun who was quietly watching all this took a rest. One person and one sword, they went straight into the places occupied by the rebels. They had a heroic spirit that they would do even if there were thousands of people.

This is truly an era of heroes, an era in which both men and women can become heroes.

That night, a hundred thousand troops camped thirty miles outside the city, which made those in the Taoist sect feel curious.

Zhao Changqing was afraid that those in the Taoist sect would cause trouble, but did not want to let them enter the city, so he sent people from the Jiange to closely monitor their movements.

Some Taoist masters naturally noticed this situation, but did not make any announcement, because they knew in their hearts that this was caused by His Majesty the Emperor's distrust.

For the sake of the sect's century-old plan, there are some things that we can only endure quietly.

He came to help the court with passion, but he didn't expect to be treated like this. How could he not feel aggrieved?

But there is nothing that can be done about it.

The next day, Zhao Changqing woke up from his palace.

He got up very early today, and he was already up before it was completely light.

Wang Qiang, who was on the bed, was a little confused when he saw this. He rubbed his eyes in a daze and sat up from the bed. When he saw Zhao Changqing who had already gotten out of bed and was stroking the Human Emperor Sword, he frowned and asked softly:

"Your Majesty, why did you wake up so early today?"

Zhao Changqing looked at her and smiled gently: "Have you woken up, my beloved?"

Wang Qiang nodded.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "Will you change my clothes for me?"

Wang Qiang nodded again.

She also got up and got out of bed, picked up His Majesty's regular clothes, and was about to help him change.

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "I won't wear regular clothes today."

"Not wearing regular clothes?" Wang Qiang asked in confusion: "Then what will your Majesty wear?"

Zhao Changqing said: "Wear armor for me."

Wang Qiang was taken aback. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt the warmth of His Majesty's palm on his face, and heard him say:

"Be good, just stay well in the palace. I'll come as soon as I go. You don't need to change today. I've already ordered someone to get the golden armor. Can you just wait for me here?"

Wang Qiang's voice suddenly became choked with sobs.

Even if you are wearing armor, no matter how stupid or stupid you are, you know what it means.

But what kind of war would allow an emperor to put on armor and go to the front line in person?

Wang Qiang didn't dare to imagine anymore. She looked at Zhao Changqing lovingly and said: "Your Majesty, you can go, I will always carry a dagger with you. I am here waiting for news from Your Majesty. I will not go anywhere."

go."

When Zhao Changqing heard these words, he felt very touched. He touched Wang Qiang's hair, picked it up, put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "How can it be so serious? Be good."

Wang Qiang nodded like a docile little rabbit.

After a while, several eunuchs brought the armor together. Zhao Changqing finally could not overcome Wang Qiang's stubborn temper and had to let her carefully help him put on the armor.

After putting on the shining golden armor, Zhao Changqing picked up the Human Emperor Sword and walked towards the outside of the palace. The moment he stepped out of the palace, he said:

"My beloved, sleep a little longer. When I wake up, I want to drink your soup."

I don't know whether Wang Qiang cried with joy or with joy when she heard these words. In short, she smiled and murmured with tears: "Your Majesty, remember to go early and come back early."

In the blink of an eye, outside the city.

In front of the formation of 100,000 elite soldiers, Zhao Changqing held the Human Emperor Sword in his hand, pointed the sword at the sky, and said loudly to the soldiers: "These abominable rebels have picked up the butcher's knife and disturbed the world. Today I follow the fate of heaven and fight with you."

Let’s all work together to wipe out the rebels!”

One hundred thousand soldiers shouted loudly:

"Annihilate all the rebels!"

"Long live your Majesty, wipe out all the rebels!"

For a time, the morale of one hundred thousand elite soldiers reached a climax.

This is the charm that belongs exclusively to Zhao Changqing. As long as he is around, these soldiers will be invincible!

"Now, I want you to pick up the weapons in your hands and fight to the death with the bandits!" Zhao Changqing roared again, then got on his horse, and with extremely high morale, he faced the direction of the enemy's attack.

Of the 100,000-strong army, 80,000 were all light cavalry, and another 20,000 were heavily armored cavalry.

The reason why Zhao Changqing did not choose to defend the city but to fight outside the city was very simple, that is, to stabilize the order in the city.

For him, the most powerful enemy right now is not the rebels, but the plague that will break out in the city at some point.

He would not put all his treasure on that old Taoist.
