Think you can escape by drilling underground? It's not that simple!
Zuo Zhou flipped his long sword upside down and inserted it into the ground. The surging true energy blasted directly into the ground, causing the entire ground to swell. The shock bulged directly from the ground, easily knocking over dozens of monsters.
Boom, thick green animal blood sprayed up and down in an instant before being evaporated by the blood flames in the blink of an eye, and a deep ravine also appeared in front of Zuo Zhou.
Upon seeing this, Di Que hurriedly followed Zuo Zhou. She was able to leave the herd, but it was really impossible to cause large-scale damage like Zuo Zhou did.
Zuo Zhou Shura opened his arms again, but this time he did not raise the sword, but closed his hands, and a long and curved bow appeared in his hands.
Everyone in the world is constantly making progress. Cao Zhengchun achieved the Earth Ranking with the help of luck and merit and Yan Nantian's true energy. Zuo Zhou's steady practice during this period also achieved great results.
The fullness of true energy and the blessing of blood flames are also borrowed from various movies and TV dramas in previous lives, and I have become more and more proficient in the use of Dharma.
Shura Dharmaxiang held the bow in one hand and pressed it to the side with the other. The gravel was sucked into the palm of his hand in the blink of an eye and formed into an arrow seven or eight meters long under the action of the blood flame.
He drew the bow like a full moon and then released it. With the physical bonus, the blood flames can last longer and save more energy. The interior of the dark mountain range is like a bloody meteor going straight into the ground. Those with excellent eyesight can even see the Beast King.
A fleeting expression!
boom!
If there is no hit, the Beast King is also at the Earth Ranking level. Although he chose to escape due to his beast instinct, his ability to evade should not be underestimated.
After the arrow exploded, it spattered a large amount of blood and flames, completely illuminating the dark underground environment.
Zuo Zhou didn't intend to let go of the Beast King, and another arrow was formed. At this time, countless monsters surrounded him again, but Shura Dharma also grew two other arms, and wielded two knives with both hands to create layers of blades around him.
Mang, those monsters that rushed towards me were all turned into minced meat in front of the sword screen.
Boom!
Another arrow was shot out, illuminated by the blood flames just now. Zuo Zhou's accuracy was greatly improved. This arrow almost hit the stone wall next to the Beast King's scalp.
The blood flames that exploded even splashed on the Beast King. Seeing the Beast King howl in pain, Zuo Zhou drew his bow again, but this time the Beast King fought back.
It opened its bloody mouth, and a blood-red energy ball formed in its mouth, and then shot up to the ground like a laser cannon and headed straight towards Zuo Zhou.
"What the hell? Virtual flash?"
Zuo Zhou was startled and immediately let go of the bow string. The arrows collided with the virtual flash. The same blood color formed a stalemate once they collided. At this time, he saw the difference between the human list and the earth list. It was obvious that the Beast King was the one who escaped, but
When attacking, he had the upper hand.
The flashing blood-colored light beam swallowed up the arrow in just a few breaths, extinguishing the blood flame, and then shot towards Zuo Zhou.
Zuo Zhou had no choice but to use Divine Sword Slash mixed with blood flames to split the beam of light.
Zuo Zhou looked towards the ground again and couldn't help but cursed, "You are so powerful and you can't run away!"
The Beast King himself may not have figured it out. You see that the light cannon attack is so powerful that he clearly has the upper hand, but the instinct of the beast is to tell him, 'Run quickly, or you will be eaten if you are late'.
Zuo Zhou took a few steps forward to pursue him, but no matter how strong his Qinggong was, he couldn't compare with the running of animals for a long time, not to mention that people kept drilling downwards, and the distance between them was widened in a straight line. He couldn't lead him.
After landing deep into the dark underground, he had no choice but to draw his bow and fire arrows again. The arrows exploded and burst into blood flames, illuminating the location of the nearby Beast King.
Di Que saw Zuo Zhou's embarrassment. He seemed to lack super long-range means. It was not enough to shoot arrow after arrow like this. I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before the Beast King would be beyond Zuo Zhou's sensing range, not to mention this.
This kind of attack can't really cause fatal damage to the Beast King.
Ouch!
At this time, the monsters also changed their strategies. They no longer rushed towards the two of them, but jumped into the ravine one after another, using their bodies and their blood to block Zuo Zhou's sight and obstruct Zuo Zhou's attack.
Perception.
"Has this King Xian been this coward before?"
This trick is really effective. Monsters have no souls, but they are all born of the Beast King. That kind of blood can indeed interfere with Zuo Zhou's perception.
"Chase in, don't worry about me, these monsters can't hurt me." Di Que keenly realized that he had become a burden.
Zuo Zhou also simply grabbed Ji Xiang and threw her outside. He used his gentle strength to easily throw her to the exit, turned around and jumped into the ravine.
At this time, Shura's Dharma Appearance was in full attack form, with three heads and six arms appearing. The sword light formed a huge impact drill and plunged straight into the herd of beasts. Blood and flesh flew across most of the underground rock wall for a while.
This attack from top to bottom was naturally extremely fast, and the Beast King, who was already somewhat out of touch with his perception, once again entered Zuo Zhou's perception range.
However, at this moment, a giant beast suddenly stopped in front of Zuo Zhou!
Zuo Zhou paused for a moment and started to attack again, but this time it was not so easy. This kind of giant beast was originally killed by Zuo Zhou above. Unexpectedly, it appeared again underground. How did it do it?
Boom!
The divine sword slashed at the giant beast. The giant beast firmly blocked the passage without moving, and then spread the fins on the back of its head to form a wide shield. When the divine sword slashed on it, it made a muffled sound.
Zuo Zhou only felt that the Dharma Phantasm was shaken. After the fins were opened, they actually had a defensive power at the level of the Earth Ranking. Can you believe it?
Poof! Zuo Zhou's magic sword kept cutting, and after three strikes, the big shield was broken. At the same time, the reality of this giant beast was revealed.
This is definitely a type of soldier that specializes in evolution. Judging from its thick limbs, it is actually only used for grabbing the ground. It did not take a step back even after being slashed three times by Zuo Zhou. The fins on the back of its head are for defense.
The point is, not only is it hard, it also seems to have extremely high resistance to all kinds of infuriating energy.
This means that the attack of Divine Sword Slash is strong enough. If it were someone else, I don’t know how many hits it would take.
Zuo Zhou passed the giant beast and continued to pursue it, but not long after, another giant beast stopped in front of him. It screamed strangely at Zuo Zhou, and then immediately opened the fins on the back of its head to form a shield.
Zuo Zhou was not ambiguous. You are willing to risk your life to delay time. How can I be reluctant to send you to the West?
It was still three swords. After killing the giant beast, he continued to chase. However, this time two suddenly appeared and blocked the passage at the same time.
Zuo Zhou was a little puzzled, where did so many giant beasts come from under the ground?
After being hacked to death with six knives, Zuo Zhou continued to chase without spending any extra energy, but finally discovered some problems. There were many monster bones left where the Beast King had been. Most of the monster bones had tooth marks on them.
It was as if it had been eaten by some wild beast.
Almost instantly, Zuo Zhou understood that compared with ordinary monsters, these giant beasts used for defense were obviously more suitable for the beast king to escape, so the beast king ate the monsters and reborn giant beasts. This could be regarded as a kind of recycling and redistribution of energy.
So...the Beast King is eating and shitting at the same time?
Zuo Zhou was a little annoyed. It was impossible to fly too fast underground, and there were always monsters blocking the way. He was already thinking about whether it would be faster if he dug a new path.
There are more and more behemoths, which means that the birth rate of the beast king is accelerating. However, energy cannot be created out of nothing. In other words, the more behemoths there are, the number of ordinary monsters will decrease. This is actually a good thing, otherwise these monsters
It is unrealistic to spread out and chase them down even with a large army.
In this way, Zuo Zhou and the Beast King seem to have entered into a strange balance. It depends on whether Zuo Zhou's strength will be exhausted first or the Beast King will starve to death first.
…
Daqin, Imperial Palace
"My dear ministers, the country cannot live without a king for a day. As the pillars of the imperial court, we must come up with a charter!"
"Haha, Lord Shangshu is interesting. This is the first time someone praises himself as a pillar of the imperial court."
"Humph, what do you think, Lord Judge?"
Just on the square of Qintian Prison, the ministers had already begun to fight openly and secretly. Hu Hai's death was just and justified. No one could say anything about this. The top priority was to let the new emperor ascend the throne.
It's just that Hu Hai was young. Although he had children, the problem was that the eldest one was less than five years old. At this age, he was destined to have ministers and ministers assist him and the queen mother to handle politics.
The problems involved are a bit big. The government and the opposition can predict that there will inevitably be an additional faction called the 'Post-Party'. The originally balanced system composed of various factions and the emperor has now become a conflict between the Post-Party and the ministers.
This bloody storm is probably going to be quite serious.
Jiang Yufeng didn't speak at the beginning. She just looked at the people who had just spoken and those who were about to speak. Most of these people who had lost their daughters in the palace were the heads of the country.
Haha, since Hu Hai likes to achieve balance, there is no doubt that marriage must be a means that he can effectively use. His only willful act may have been to take himself into the palace during the imperial examination!
Jiang Yufeng couldn't help shaking her head in amusement as she thought about it. She seemed to have seen enough farce and asked: "His Majesty's heirs are still young. The most urgent task now is to bury His Majesty. Even enthroning cannot be done in a hurry. Why are you so anxious?
What about temporarily? How about waiting for a month?"
"..."
The ministers looked at Jiang Yufeng and suddenly felt that this woman was very funny. Who cares about you now that Hu Hai is dead? If you don't remember that you still have some relationship with Li Yuanfang, do you think we care about you?
"Come here, your Majesty is inconvenient. Please help her back to the palace... Poof!"
In the face of absolute interests, naturally some people would be stupid and have no scruples. They would pull their necks and start calling for guards. Then their necks would be torn off by Cao Zhengchun, and their heads would roll to Jiang Yufeng's feet.
Jiang Yufeng lowered her head and turned her head away in disgust, complaining somewhat: "I can't stand the smell of blood."
Cao Zhengchun kicked his head away very considerately. The ministers who had been stunned just now finally reacted. There were a few ministers who claimed to be clean and they shouted with trembling fingers: "Jiang Yufeng! You... you want to
Do you want to dominate the government?"
Jiang Yufeng raised her head and looked at them, shook her head and said with a smile: "I am about to give birth, and I have no time to monopolize the government. I just want someone to supervise the country."
"You...you are a civilian girl with a family background. Is it difficult for you to let Cao Zhengchun supervise the country without any relatives? Or, you have always been Li Yuanfang's person, and you want to rebel!"
Jiang Yufeng looked at the old man who was talking with some surprise. What was his name? He seemed to have come from the Song Dynasty. Well, officials from the Song Dynasty always had various hats on them. She remembered that when she was still preparing for the imperial examination, she once
Chatted with Li Xunhuan.
But not to mention, what the old man said is also a possibility. In the eyes of these people, I am afraid that all this is already a shocking conspiracy planned by Li Yuanfang.
First, she used a beautiful woman to seduce Hu Hai and bring chaos to the court, then she used the hand of heaven to massacre the emperor, and finally she plotted to usurp the throne. Hey, what a big move!
Well, Jiang Yufeng didn't know if Li Yuanfang who was far away in Gouwu Mountain would sneeze, but she herself was shocked by this unfounded conspiracy. It turned out that she became Li Yuanfang's pawn to win the Qin Dynasty?
Jiang Yufeng's confused expression was immediately 'understood' by the ministers. Well, you Li Yuanfang, you are indeed a traitor!
Several old men turned around and began to secretly wink at the surrounding guards. To put it bluntly, since Hu Hai was playing with balance, there were naturally many eyes and ears in the palace. These eyes and ears belonged to different forces and had different purposes. But now they are also
All have an effect.
"Quickly, go to the various generals' mansions and remind the people in the generals' mansions to beware of Li Yuanfang."
"Hurry up and ask all the land ranking experts to come to the palace and talk about the country and the country!"
"..."
Sometimes people cannot see themselves clearly, just like some Qingliu. Their self-hypnosis is too serious, and they may sometimes not be able to tell whether they are doing something for the country or themselves.
Jiang Yufeng also practiced martial arts and had real energy. Although her strength was reduced due to her pregnancy, she still had no problem hearing these sounds with her clear eyes and ears. She was surprised that these ministers had nothing to do with the masters on the ground list before.
What gave them the confidence that the other party would be able to help you as long as they showed their national interests?
They don’t really think that the masters of the land rankings would care about moral kidnapping!
But soon, Jiang Yufeng remembered a negative example, Zhao Zheng.
Well, I remember Li Yuanfang said at the beginning that Zhao Zheng had no other problems except that his thinking was a bit fixed and was controlled by his so-called relatives.
It's obviously a good thing for their family to have a top player on the land rankings, but they actually help outsiders bully their own family for the sake of profit!
This is undoubtedly very stupid. There is nothing wrong with human nature's pursuit of profit, but it must be done in a proper way. Can the benefits obtained by relying on Zhu Qizhen's bullying of his family be the same as the benefits obtained by relying on his own family?
Jiang Yufeng was a little envious of Li Yuanfang for a moment. Compared with Zuo Laohan, Qingping and other women, her own father and brother were a bit holding back. Sure enough, comparing people to others can make people angry to death.
"Actually, you don't need to go to those generals. I believe someone has already gone there since His Majesty's death. After all, there are still many people who care about this country!"
Jiang Yufeng said nonchalantly, with a very bachelor expression on her face. What are she afraid of? With this child's merit and luck, anyone who has a country in his heart will know what to choose.
Of course, if someone really thinks that they can play the trick of "eliminating the mother and leaving the son", then Cao Zhengchun is the one with the confidence. If it doesn't work, then there is her sister Jiang Yuyan. However, Jiang Yufeng has a feeling that Jiang Yuyan is not as good as Cao Zhengchun.
Zhengchun is reliable, and there's nothing wrong with saying it's a woman's intuition.
However, as Jiang Yuyan's sister, Jiang Yufeng still understands that it is very simple to ask Jiang Yuyan to avenge her. She only needs to die a little humiliatingly. For the sake of face, Jiang Yuyan will also take action. Of course, that is the last resort.
She doesn't mind if there's no choice.
"You... witch, who did you collude with?"
All the ministers looked horrified and wanted to bite this temptress who was planning to usurp the country. However, Cao Zhengchun was very intimidating now, and they were also a little panicked.
Among the five generals, Li Yuanfang, who has no power, is the strongest, but he is not in the imperial capital, so it shouldn't be the case.
Part of the Yang family is at the border, and part of it is going to Gouwu Mountain to encircle and suppress the Qinglong Society... No matter how you think about it, this is to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and Yang Wenguang of the Yang family has a good relationship with Hu Hai, so he should not be easily bribed.
The remaining three families, Zhang Han, Wang Jian, Meng family, Zhang Han and Wang Jian are all veterans who have served the Qin Emperor. The disciples have not forgotten that they are all on the border. Although their family members are in the imperial capital, there is no one at home who can play a role.
The identity person who determines the strategy.
The only possibility... seems to be the Meng family. The Meng family has a prosperous family and many of their descendants are generals. They have a high prestige in the military. If they can get help from the Meng family, the witch will probably succeed today!
Many ministers have the same thinking, but they already hate the Meng family without saying anything. Some people are even thinking about how to invite other generals to come to Qingjun's side, even if they haven't established a new monarch yet.
"It's boring, it's really boring. I'm sleepy and want to go back to the palace."
Jiang Yufeng seemed to be bored, yawned and started to walk back with Cao Zhengchun's support.
And those ministers were confused. What was going on? You didn’t say you wanted to supervise the country. How could you leave? Did you really just propose it? Then why did you kill people!
Several ministers suddenly panicked as they watched Jiang Yufeng leave. They looked around tremblingly, "Could some swordsman jump out and massacre us?"
Bao Zheng glanced at those rude people with unkind eyes. By the way, Hu Hai usually discussed national affairs with these people and officials?
He sighed, really couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply turned his head and looked outside. Sure enough, the figure who was still looking forward to it appeared.
Three people came outside the square, one was the well-known Di Renjie, and the other was Bai Qi. Many people found it strange that he suddenly left the palace before.
And the last one... Fusu!
hiss!
The ministers contracted the cold air in the palace for a year.
"Well……"
All the ministers saluted together, but they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say. Fusu had not been crowned king or held an official position. If he came back at this time... any fool would know what he was doing!
How should I say hello? Should I ask, 'What is your name?'
"Haha, gentlemen, I haven't seen you for a long time. I just feel homesick. Come back and see me." Fusu looked very kind, but when he spoke, his eyes were searching around. Since Di Renjie found him, he naturally
I found out about Jiang Yufeng.
How to say?
Fusu's feelings were very complicated. After all, her younger siblings were holding her father-in-law's spine robe to bring good fortune. This was so...awkward!
However, despite the awkwardness, Fusu still understands the overall situation. The next Emperor of Qin must be the royal flesh and blood in Jiang Yufeng's belly. No matter he is a man or a woman, he must be him even if he is a monster!
Because the merit and luck come from the dragon bone, which belongs to Emperor Qin, and is the most orthodox symbol of this country.
"I dare to ask Mr. Fusu if he is interested..."
Some ministers seemed to feel that there was no point in the stalemate and took the initiative to ask questions, but Fusu raised his hand to stop him and said: "No intention, I just came to see an old friend."
"..."
The ministers were very sensitive and heard some questions, old friend? Who is this old friend!
Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, a group of soldiers came from a distance. These people were wearing armor and looked different from the palace guards, so they came from outside the palace.
The first two people, one in a wheelchair and the other pushing behind, were talking and laughing like two brothers who had agreed to split the night.
"Xiao Prince Consort, General Meng, long time no see!"
Fusu came over to say hello first, but without any formal etiquette, he hugged the two of them.
"You're still in a wheelchair, are you done?"
Prince Consort Xiao rolled his eyes angrily, "You didn't even say you were going back to the palace!"
"I'm different, I'm just lazy on the orders." Fusu said confidently.
"I was injured at work and became an official. I'm no worse than you!" Prince Consort Xiao also raised his head and held his chest high.
Fusu was too lazy to answer him and just looked at Meng Tian, "When did General Meng come back?"
Meng Tian, Meng Yi's elder brother, because Zuo Zhou has a good relationship with Meng Yi, the two are quite familiar with each other. They should be stationed outside like Meng Yi in normal times. However, due to Hu Hai's balancing policy, the two Meng brothers always have to stay.
A person was by Hu Hai's side. Fusu remembered that it was Meng Yi at first, and then he was replaced by Meng Tian at some point.
Meng Tian was a rather dashing man, and the beard on his chin was not carefully trimmed, making him look a bit rough.
"The Yang family went to attack the Qinglong Hui. There must be someone in the imperial capital to take charge, so I replaced my younger brother with my father to guard the border."
Fusu nodded suddenly, but secretly scolded Hu Hai for being stupid. It's nothing for you to be afraid of the military family. Smart warriors must be prepared for this, but you shouldn't hurt the warrior's face!
You let one of the general's sons stay in the imperial capital as a hostage, and let the other one go to guard the border. When one of the sons comes back, you let the other one go to guard the border. Doesn't the act of changing one son to another tell everyone that you are guarding against Mongolia?
Home?
Even though everyone knows this, you can’t really put it on the table!
A slightly smarter way is to send several sons to garrison in different places. On the surface, it can be regarded as reuse, and everyone will look good. At worst, you can just let other families of military commanders check and balance each other.
As a result, you see, Prince Consort Xiao probably brought people into the palace without much persuasion. No need to ask, his support must be Jiang Yufeng.
Meng Tian smiled and said: "I have already sent a letter to the two generals Zhang Han and Wang Jian with the whole story, in case some villain wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
Fusu nodded when he heard this but didn't say anything. Anyway, he knew that there was nothing to argue about. Jiang Yufeng calculated this matter well. His role was to suppress the former veterans, while Meng Tian's mission was to stabilize the morale of the military. This
A month will pass safely, probably...
