Chapter 493 She hugged him, so happy that she was about to cry!
The Shengjing Tiancheng of the Qing Dynasty was filled with solemnity at this time.
Even the aristocratic children who used to be so arrogant in the past are now keeping a low profile.
Because the Qing Dynasty suffered an unprecedented defeat.
Who would have thought that when the morale of the Chu State was low, the Qing Dynasty, which was as powerful as a dragon, would suffer such a defeat?
It is clear that the war between the two countries has been going on for nearly twenty years. The advantages of the Qing Dynasty have become more and more obvious, while the state of Chu has fallen into decline. It seems that there seems to be no problem in destroying Chu and unifying the Witchland in ten years.
However, the Chu army suddenly counterattacked, and the overwhelming Zerg army attacked the city. In just a few days, the Qing Dynasty lost more than two million elite soldiers, and twenty saint-level warriors fell!
Such a huge loss is simply a drain on your muscles and vitality.
All of a sudden, military orders flew out of the palace, ordering generals from various places to shrink their defense lines and temporarily conduct a comprehensive defense.
At the same time, huge amounts of reinforcements were also sent out in a steady stream to various defense lines.
In the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Zhengyi, who was wearing a mask, could not see his expression, but all the officials knew that the emperor's face must be ugly.
Even the generals of the Blood Demon, Haizhen, and Youyu clans in the palace looked solemn and cautious.
The powerful people in the main hall are like clouds, and the Taoist charm is like the sky, making the whole palace like a fairy court. Just the lineup in this main hall shows the power of the Qing Dynasty.
And Jiang Zhengyi, who was sitting high up, seemed to be the supreme immortal emperor. He just sat there quietly, seeming to be the ruler of the heaven, earth and universe.
Unfathomable, unreachable.
This kind of momentum is like being born with a ruler who has existed since ancient times!
The masked emperor Jiang Zhengyi suddenly looked at the majestic and powerful Witch Saint at the front.
"King Chu, in your opinion, how long can Pankang's army of war insects continue to be arrogant?"
The Qing Emperor's voice was very calm, but there was no hint of anger.
The so-called King of Chu was, of course, Pan Guang, the King of Wu who rebelled against Chu and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After Pan Guang led the reinforcements of the Youyu tribe to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was granted the title of King of Chu by Jiang Zheng directly because of his great achievements.
In the years since Panguang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he has been very loyal to the Qing Dynasty and used extra efforts to defeat the Chu army. He even killed several Chu army generals with his own hands.
"Master." Pan Guang stood up and held his hands, "Pan Kang received the inheritance from the Gu Emperor. He has been practicing the magical power of controlling insects and obtained the insect talisman."
"But master, don't worry. Although the magical power of controlling insects is powerful, it requires a lot of resources. Once his insect army is used up, it will not be a worry."
"Those war bugs are actually transformed by the evil energy of the earth. They are not real bugs. They will disappear soon. Pankang's great magical power can be said to be borrowed from the power of heaven and earth. But within ten years at least, he will not be able to borrow it a second time. ."
"My servant doesn't know that Pan Kang has mastered the magical power of controlling insects. It's not that my servant deliberately concealed it."
"Although he took great advantage today by using his magical power to control insects, the resources consumed are also astronomical, and the Chu State's treasury will definitely suffer a huge loss."
Jiang Zhengyi nodded and said: "King Chu has thought too much. I know it well. How can I blame you?"
"If Pankang was really that simple, how could he have fought with me for nearly twenty years? He must have a backup plan, and I am also prepared."
"It's just that I didn't expect that his counterattack would be so fierce and generous, causing me to lose nearly 30% of our best troops in just a few days."
When Jiang Zhengyi said this, his usually indifferent tone was also filled with a trace of regret.
Even Jiang Zhengyi, who has always been full of wisdom, unpredictable and almost inexhaustible, can't be calm at this time.
Two million and four hundred thousand!
In just three days, the Qing Dynasty lost more than 2.4 million elite troops, accounting for almost 30% of the country's total military strength.
The Qing army's originally strong morale and aggressive strategic advantage were suddenly lost.
On the contrary, the Chu army achieved an unprecedented victory, and the low morale caused by Pan Guang and Pan Yudie's surrender to the Qing Dynasty was suddenly restored.
The strategic advantages that the Qing Dynasty had gained in recent years were all lost after this defeat.
Understand the situation between the two countries and return to the previous era of strategic confrontation.
No matter how confident Jiang Zhengyi is, he cannot remain calm.
He still has many powerful methods, and he is still confident that he can defeat Panchu. But the problem is that many methods cannot be used too early, because Panchu is not the only enemy of the Qing Dynasty.
After destroying Chu State, he must at least capture Shenzhou and unify at least half of the world. Of course, he must retain as much of his powerful methods as possible.
"However, Pankang used his great magical power to control insects at a huge cost at this time. The use of this powerful method shows that he is actually afraid and weak."
"The advantage of the Chu army cannot be maintained for long. I, the Qing Dynasty, will be able to regain it soon. I also have many powerful methods, which are no worse than his magical power to control insects."
"Let the Chu army be proud for a few days. It won't take long before we break their bones."
A human minister with quasi-sage cultivation stood up and said: "What the master said is absolutely true. It is not the right time for Pankang, the great insect control god, to use it. But he still used it, which shows that he has reached a desperate situation."
"It is not an exaggeration to say that the Chu State has returned to glory. Although the Qing Dynasty lost more than two million troops, reinforcements from the three tribes of the Blood Tribe, Hailu Tribe, and Youyu Tribe are coming in continuously. The new army is about to be trained and can be replenished soon.
."
This human minister is none other than Jiang Zhengyi’s confidant, Minister of Political Affairs, Marquis Ruizhong, and the former head of the Qing Clan: Qing Lu!
Because Qinglu was very strategic, good at government affairs, and good at figuring out the superior's intentions, he was highly valued by Jiang Zhengyi. He was like a fish in water in the Qing Dynasty and prospered.
"Master, you can ask Concubine Pan to tell everyone in the world that the magical power of controlling insects can only be used by overdrafting the luck of the witches, which greatly consumes the vitality of the witch realm."
"In short, it is to let the shamans know that Pankang's magical power of controlling insects is an evil power... How can ordinary shamans know about this kind of magical power? Even if they are half-believed, Pankang's reputation will plummet..."
Qinglu's countermeasures are very simple, yet very useful and despicable.
Jiang Zhengdi touched his palm and smiled and said: "That's right. I didn't expect Qingqing to know that the great magical power of controlling insects is an evil magical power."
"Yes, this is actually an ancient evil way. In order to unify the witchcraft domain, we, the Qing Dynasty, cannot let the fate of the shamans be left to chance."
"Well, I will let Concubine Pan expose Pankang's conspiracy and tell the world what kind of unscrupulous person Pankang is. Such a person is not qualified to be emperor, let alone unify the Wu clan."
What Jiang Zhengyi said is true. It seems that even he himself thinks that the great magical power of controlling insects is an evil magical power.
Pan Guang immediately stood up and said, "Master is right, Pan Kang is using evil magical powers! Otherwise, how could so many war insects appear? It's like a swarm of insects wiping out the world. What is it if it's not evil magical powers?"
"I didn't think of it before. When my master mentioned it to Marquis Ruizhong (Qinglu), I remembered it. Pan Kang did say that he would only use his evil magical powers at critical moments if they were beneficial."
Of course Pan Guang was telling lies. As for why the mighty King Wu of Chu flattered Jiang Zhengyi so much, it is also a mystery.
Jiang Zhengyi looked at the strong men from the three clans of Blood Demon, Haizhen and Youyu again, "I hope that Blood Demon will produce another hundred thousand third-level knights, Haizhen will produce another hundred thousand third-level warriors, and Youyu will produce another hundred thousand
Wuzong."
A seventh-level perfect blood demon, blond Sadabao Paulo stroked his chest and said: "Your Majesty, the energy of the Secret Blood Teleportation Array is not enough. It will be difficult to teleport vampire warriors from the distant ghost wasteland."
Jiang Zhengyi didn't speak, but Qinglu said directly:
"Lord Paul, the energy of the Mystic Blood Teleportation Array is not a problem. We have millions of prisoners of the Chu army in the Qing Dynasty. Their blood and souls are enough to maintain the operation of the Mystic Blood Ancient Array."
When the officials heard Qinglu's words, of course they all knew that he was lying. How could there be millions of prisoners of the Chu army in the Qing Dynasty?
Qinglu said that using the blood and souls of millions of Chu army prisoners of war to maintain the operation of the Secret Blood Ancient Teleportation Array was of course just an excuse.
In fact, all the officials of the Qing Dynasty knew that the so-called millions of captives were nothing more than the poor witch clans of the Qing and Chu countries.
Even if these monks from poor families died, let alone one million, even if they died ten million, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would not feel sorry for them.
Of course, there are many things that can only be done, but absolutely cannot be said. Not only cannot they be said, but they must also be concealed as much as possible.
"So, then the Ancient Secret Blood Formation can indeed be opened." Satan Paul said, "But the major Holy Sees have sent many Blood Cross Knights to help the Qing Dynasty. I also hope that Your Majesty can receive more rewards."
Jiang Zhengyi still didn't say a word.
Qinglu took the initiative again and said: "Lord Paul, there is no need to remind you, and there is no need to ask the emperor for a reward. I have already prepared the gift for the Holy See. The emperor does not care about such trivial matters."
"As for rewards, well, they are all prisoners of Chu, so there are enough." Qinglu raised two fingers to make a scissor hand, but he didn't know how many he meant.
Another prisoner of Chu!
Satan Paul understood the meaning of Qinglu's scissor hands, which meant two million blood slaves.
Two million blood slaves are worth the Holy See sending an additional 100,000 third-level knights. Moreover, there are more benefits secretly.
"I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor." Paul saluted and thanked Jiang Zhengyi.
Mahaka, a tall and ugly man with a swarthy complexion, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let alone an additional 100,000 third-level warriors, even 200,000, my great chief can handle it."
"However, I, Hailu, need more women to reproduce my descendants. I, Mahaka, humbly plead with the Great Emperor, please increase the reward and reward the poor and lonely Hailu warriors."
Sure enough, Jiang Zhengyi still didn't speak and turned a deaf ear.
It was Qinglu who stood up and took the initiative and said: "Master Mahaka, why bother the emperor with some trivial matters. You can just come to me privately about this matter. All you need to do is agree to increase the troops on behalf of your great chief."
Mahaka stretched out a black palm and said to Qinglu: "Is this number okay?"
Qinglu nodded without hesitation: "No problem."
He knew that Mahaka wanted half a million women.
There are only half a million women. Besides, who cares whether they live or die?
Satisfied, Blood Demon and Hailiu both agreed to send more reinforcements, leaving only the Youyu clan.
The powerful Youyu Jiuyu is a three-foot-tall woman. She is very beautiful. She is simply a scaled-down beauty from China.
But she has the cultivation level of a great sage and has a very strong aura.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." Jiu Lao came out. Although she was only three feet tall, she had the feeling of being a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
"Under the persuasion of the King of Chu (Pan Guang), the Youyu tribes sent millions of troops to help the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty also fulfilled the resources given to the Youyu tribes. I thanked Your Majesty. But the Youyu tribes found it difficult.
Send out troops again."
"Oh? Why is this?" Jiang Zhengyi asked condescendingly, an invisible and powerful pressure enveloped the entire hall.
Jiuyu saluted, her expression still very respectful, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I, the Youyu tribes, only want the resources on the ground, but do not want to get involved too deeply in the civil war in the Witchland."
"Moreover, the Youyu tribes have sent out many troops, and they have suffered heavy losses in the past few days. Pankang and I, Youyu, have no grievances, and I, the Youyu tribes, are not willing to fight Pankang until death."
Another reason why she doesn't want to continue to increase troops is that she can't stand the behavior of Jiang Zhengyi, Hailiu and Blood Demon.
I don’t want the tribes of Youhu and Hailu and the Blood Demon to be classified into the same category.
Although Jiuyu's attitude was respectful, even Hailiu and Blood Demon were worried about her. How brave she was to openly refuse the Qing Emperor.
Doesn’t she know how terrifying Jiang Zhengyi is?
Jiang Zhengyi nodded, "Okay, I won't force it. But General Jiuyu, I believe that the leader of the Youyu Alliance will continue to increase troops to help the Qing Dynasty."
Jiuyu's face turned pale, and she felt a bad premonition for some reason.
The majestic great sage was walking on thin ice when facing Jiang Zhengyi.
Jiang Zhengyi arranged some more military and government affairs, then announced the disbandment of the court and returned to the inner palace.
"Master!" Princess Chu Xiyao, who was recently named Concubine Pan, immediately greeted her.
She is not only beautiful, but also radiant, and her eyes are full of happiness.
Anyone who meets her will feel that she is a happy woman.
"My beloved concubine." Jiang Zhengyi took off his mask, revealing a monster-like face that was indistinguishable from male to female.
Concubine Pan threw herself into his arms, hugged the man, and was so happy that she almost cried.
She seemed to be hugging her own god and her own dream.
…
On the second day, Pan Fei once again published a video that spread to the world through the video bead:
"Why did my brother and I betray Pan Kang? Don't we both love Chu and the Pan family?"
"Because Pankang is actually a beast in disguise! My brother and I tried to persuade him, but he still wanted to kill his brother to silence him. My brother had no choice but to join the Ming Lord!"
"Pan Kang also raped me! I am his biological sister, this beast is worse than a beast! Haha, you can't imagine that Pan Kang, the light of the Witch Realm, is so dirty, right?"
"Originally, although I was forced to flee the Chu Kingdom by her, I took Pan's face and brother-sister relationship into consideration and hid it for him. No one except myself knows my suffering and my hatred!"
"But now, in order to resist the unification of the witchcraft domain, he has actually depleted the fortune of the witchcraft clan and harmed the interests of the witchcraft clan. He has used evil magical powers that were lost in ancient times and greatly damaged the vitality of our witchcraft domain!"
"Only a few people knew the secret of this evil magic, and I was one of them. I couldn't hide it any longer. I couldn't bear it anymore. I had to kill my relatives out of justice and expose Pankang's unscrupulous behavior!"
"Does such a despicable person deserve to be the Lord of Chu and the Lord of the Witch Realm? Bah..."
"Chu people! Wake up! Chu soldiers, stop being loyal to Pankang! He is a shameless man who is doomed to failure, dressed like a beast!"
In the video, Concubine Pan scolded Pan Kang so bloody that it was unbearable to watch. Then she put the image bead away and said to Jiang Zhengyi beside her with a smile:
"Master, I have already followed the master's instructions. Is the master still satisfied?"
Jiang Zhengyi, who looked like a good girl, smiled and said: "Very good. My beloved, what you said is better than what I taught you. It's really hard for you."
Concubine Pan's eyes were about to water, and she said in a soft voice: "I'm not in trouble. I just feel ashamed. How could there be such an unbearable brother as Pan Kang?"
"My dear concubine, there is no need to be sad." Jiang Zhengdi hugged the crying concubine Pan, patted her back and said comfortingly:
"You still have me, and the Qing Dynasty. Your heart is like the bright moon, and you kill relatives with righteousness. You are the real light of the witchland."
When Concubine Pan heard this, she was so moved that she almost died, "Master... 嘤嘤嘤..."
…
"Hahaha! Junior Sister Luo, as you can see, this is my most beloved sister!"
In the Chu Palace, Pan Kang saw the "newly released" video of Princess Xiyao and smiled instead of being angry.
Li Luo'er, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but laugh gracefully.
"Haha, it's so funny. No wonder you're not angry at all."
After two days of quiet meditation in the Chu Palace, the smell of sweat from months of fighting on Li Luoer's body had dissipated and became fragrant again.
She changed into a white dress, and her previous simple ponytail turned into a bun with cloud-like hair.
The whole person was filled with fairy spirit again, like a goddess.
Pankang collected the image bead and looked at it with amusement and a hint of sarcasm, "Junior sister Luo, this thing has spread all over the world. How many people do you think believe it?"
Li Luo'er smiled and said: "Because your sister said it, many people will believe it. The more middle- and lower-class monks are, the more they will believe it. Your reputation will definitely suffer a big setback."
"As for authenticity, it actually doesn't matter. How many people have the ability to distinguish between authenticity and lies?"
"This is inevitable. But if you don't get angry, it means you are Pankang after all. I feel relieved."
Pankang nodded, "Even if it's just to prevent you from worrying, I can't be angry about it anymore. I don't blame Yudie either, her heart has been blinded by Jiang Zhengchen's magical power."
"She should really think that I am a beast in disguise. This is the scary thing about Jiang Zhengcheng. His methods are all sinister and dark, and his style is completely different from mine."
Li Luoer's eyes were clear and she did not hide her admiration, "That's why I trust you. No matter success or failure, you are a hero. Even if Jiang Zhengyi is lucky enough to win, he is still an evil spirit."
Pankang sighed: "Human beings are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless. For monks with qualifications like you and me, the Taoist heart is the most difficult to cultivate and the most fragile place."
"If you weren't by my side, how could I really be indifferent? Junior Sister Luo, I'm sorry for you."
He poured a cup of tea for Li Luo'er with his own hands, "If I, Pan Dao'an, are defeated and the country is destroyed one day, and I die, at least you will know what kind of person I am."
Li Luo'er shook his head lightly and smiled quietly, "No matter success or failure, I hope that Brother Pan will turn the danger into good and the road will be safe."
"This time the Qing army is defeated, Jiang Zhengyi will definitely use powerful means to counterattack. You must take strict precautions."
Pankang nodded, "Don't worry, I have already arranged some backup plans."
"Although this magical power to control insects is terrifying, it consumes too many resources from the treasury. Moreover, there is only one insect talisman. It is a pity that it was used like this."
This trump card was originally intended to be used in the next decisive battle, so that it could bring a greater blow to the Qing army.
But because it was necessary to boost the morale of Chu State in time, it was used so easily.
Moreover, Jiang Zhengyi will soon use powerful revenge methods.
Pankang suddenly sent out a flying message, and soon a man with a skinny face appeared.
"Your Majesty." The man saluted respectfully.
"How are things prepared?" Pankang asked.
The man reported back: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the witnesses and material evidence have been collected completely, and we are about to report back to your Majesty."
"Okay." Pankang waved his hand, "Let's spread it to the world. It's time for the world to see what the Qing emperor and the Qing army did. Even if they deny it, there is irrefutable proof."
"Yes." The man took the order and stepped back.
Li Luoer looked at this scene with a smile.
Pankang suddenly showed a worried look, "Junior Sister Luo, please go back to Zhou Kingdom as soon as possible, and never come to Chu Kingdom again."
"I'm worried that Jiang Zhengyi will do something bad to you in order to deal with me."
"I have already lost my brother and sister, and I don't want you to be plotted by him as well."
He took out a ring and said, "Junior sister Luo, this is a batch of high-end resources I have collected. It can be considered as my farewell gift to you."
Pankang's eyes were a little melancholy, "I can't crack Jiang Zhengyi's magical power, at least not now, and I can't let the people around me suffer anymore."
He was very worried about Li Luoer. The more he liked her, the more he wanted her to leave immediately.
Li Luo'er thought for a while, "If he really has that great magical power, he certainly can't use it easily. Even if his human soul is that of the Six-Finger Immortal, it's just that the human soul is the same, not the same person."
"I don't believe that he can use such a powerful magical power whenever he wants. I also want to know if his magical power is of any use to me."
Li Luo'er must find out the details of Jiang Zhengchen's magical power.
At least you need to know if it is of any use to you.
The day she couldn't figure it out, the day she felt worried.
Is escaping useful? If Jiang Zhengyi's magical power can also control him, then whether it is his father, Yu Kuan or Pankang, they will all be in danger.
She had to figure it out! She had to try it!
Pankang said: "That magical power must not be used easily, there must be a price. But if he knew the relationship between you and me, he would probably be willing to use the magical power."
He still hoped that Li Luoer would leave as soon as possible.
"I won't leave the Witch Realm so soon." Li Luo'er said, "I'm not worried."
Pankang sighed and said:
"If Jiang Zhengyi's great magical power is really the Dark Law 'Ye Di Xin', then there is an ancient elixir that can prevent it. This ancient elixir is called Tianxin Daming Dan. Like Taiqing Yuanming Dan, it is a ninth-level elixir."
"If you take this elixir in advance, you can not only prevent the Night Emperor's mental powers, but also detect them in time. Unfortunately, I can only think about this ancient elixir."
"If we don't have the elixir, we can only rely on our own cultivation. With my cultivation, he can't plot against me. But it shouldn't be difficult to plot against you. Your cultivation will definitely not be stronger than Pan Guang's."
He suddenly stood up suddenly.
"Junior sister Luo, come with me! I want to help you improve your cultivation quickly and resist Jiang Zhengyi's magical plot!"
What?
Hearing this, Li Luoer's eyes suddenly flashed with joy.
really…
Pankang took Li Luoer and set off from a teleportation array deep in the Chu Palace.
After a moment of dizziness, Li Luoer found himself in an extremely deep underground world.
No, it's not an underground world, but a void with a strong earth energy.
Soon, Li Luoer's spiritual consciousness discovered that this space seemed very big, but in fact it was very small. He didn't even know whether it was big or small.
What on earth is this place? How come I can’t even tell for myself?
