At the same time that Bai Feng sneaked into the mirage, on the upper deck, Da Siming, who was wearing a black and red cheongsam, and Young Siming, who was wearing a green and purple fluffy skirt, stood side by side, silently watching the whole process.
's visit.
After seeing Bai Feng Pirate Plant disappear from his sight, Da Siming hesitated for a moment, then brushed his hair from his forehead and walked towards the lower deck.
Ever since the unexpected incident occurred in the Toad Palace that day, the two guardians, Moon God and Star Soul, had almost never appeared again.
Regarding the changes in the Toad Palace and the children who sneaked into the mirage, neither of them gave any instructions or responses.
The two sisters, Lao'e, Huang and Nvying, the minister of water, also stopped showing up, and Da Siming suspected that they should always stay with the Moon God.
The pursuit of Tianming and others was basically ordered by Yun Zhongjun, the captain of the mirage.
This guy was seriously injured, and his words were full of hatred and anger towards Tianming and the others, as if it was difficult to explain his hatred without crushing the three people to ashes.
However, it didn't take long before he began to go deep into Jianliu and relaxed his pursuit of Tianming and others. He didn't know what he was busy with.
Da Siming didn't do much in the pursuit of Tianming and the others, and just paddled around to fool them.
Although Yun Zhongjun's status is a little higher than that of ordinary elders, he is still no higher than the two guardians. If Moon God Xinghun doesn't speak, Da Si Ming will certainly not work hard.
As for Shao Siming...she is too lazy to even pretend to paddle. She is either in a daze every day or looking for a place to daze.
So even if the two of them saw the white phoenix sneaking into the mirage, their reactions would be dull.
However, after careful consideration, Da Siming decided to go down to see the situation.
Now the moon god star soul is staying behind closed doors, Ehuang Nvying has disappeared, Yun Zhongjun is also mysterious, and even Gong Shuqiu is busy doing something unknown and no one is seen at all.
In the entire mirage, the only two people who showed up every day were the eldest and young master Siming.
If Bai Feng, Pirates and Zhi cause any big trouble, they will have to bear some responsibility.
Young Siming didn't care about this kind of thing, but Da Siming did.
Seeing that Da Siming seemed to be interested in intervening, Shao Siming, who was very concerned about sisterhood, followed suit.
Young Siming, who is always silent, lives in isolation, and is immersed in his own world, is an absolute outlier even within the Yin and Yang family. The only person she can barely call herself familiar is Da Siming.
………………
On the lower deck, Tianming and the other two people carefully sneaked between the buildings.
Shi Lan took the lead, observing the situation and planning the route.
Tianming pulled Shao Yu from behind, and at the same time paid close attention to the situation behind to avoid the sudden appearance of people who they did not notice.
What Shao Yu could do was very limited. He could only try his best to cooperate with Tian Ming's pulling to prevent the other party from being unable to pull him. At the same time, he should be gentle in all his movements to ensure that he did not make any noise as much as possible.
Although the journey of the three-person team was very bumpy and difficult, the whole process was still perfect and no one discovered it.
The reason is simple... there is really no one on the mirage.
"It feels like this ship is getting more and more desolate?" Tianming whispered to his companions, "I haven't seen a single person for a long time. What are those bad guys from the Yin and Yang family doing?"
When Shao Yu heard this, he choked angrily, "You kid, can you hope for something good? Do you have to run into a few yin and yang puppets to catch you to feel comfortable?"
Tianming curled his lips and didn't care about Shaoyu's response. He whispered in a low voice, "I don't expect it so much. It's because you don't want good things to happen."
Shi Lan interrupted the two of them, "During this period, the mirage has indeed become increasingly quiet."
"From what I heard, several important figures such as Moon God Star Soul Yun Zhongjun and even Gong Shuqiu have been missing for some time."
"Furthermore, both Gongshuqiu and Yunzhongjun have deployed many people to their own territories. The remaining people do not receive any instructions and orders, so they are not very active."
"This sounds like good news." Blind Shaoyu murmured thoughtfully.
In this case, the probability that they will find a chance to escape from the ship will undoubtedly be greater.
Shi Lan had no objection to Shao Yu's judgment, but she raised some hidden dangers:
"But that probably means our time is limited."
"The mirage will not remain silent forever, and people like the Moon God will not disappear forever. We must seize the opportunity."
After hearing this, Shao Yu was stunned for a while and felt that Shi Lan's analysis was correct. He couldn't help but nodded and replied, "You are right, you really need to pay attention to the time."
"It seems that we can't keep procrastinating, we must make a decision early."
"Well..." Shi Lan responded while observing the environment, "Let's see if we can gain anything today."
Tianming did not get involved in their analysis, not because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t have the ability!
If you ask him to make any suggestions, he can probably only provide all support except help.
In a corner that none of the three noticed, a three-legged crow with black feathers and golden awns was watching them silently, its long pointed beak pecking its own feathers from time to time.
………………
High up in the mirage, in the Toad Palace.
The girl wearing a white dress and a veil covering her face was still sitting in the middle of the house, facing the mirror and the phantom sound box on the table.
The previous incident in Toad Palace caused the two guardians of Moon God and Star Soul to be seriously injured and temporarily offline. However, the girl who was an important party was not affected in any way and everything was normal.
Of course, it doesn't really mean there is no impact at all.
At this time, the girl's body was exuding layers of gilded light, her hands were folded on her chest and the seals were constantly changing. The golden light flowed along her hands and merged into the phantom sound treasure box.
The Phantom Sound Box seems to be under the control of the girl and is changing on its own. The twelve pavilions on the fifth floor are constantly rotating and switching.
As the pavilions change, complex and difficult to understand, a melody with mysterious beauty flows out, reverberating throughout the Toad Palace.
In the past, the girl had been trying to control and use the Phantom Sound Box under the "teaching" of the Moon God. However, she was always a little behind and could not truly control this treasure freely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, she seems to have finally achieved this step.
However, it is just a seeming thing.
There was a look of confusion on the girl's delicate face behind the veil. Her eyes were open but completely unfocused, almost in a state of trance.
It seems that the person controlling the Phantom Sound Box is not a girl at all.
At the same time, in a certain cabin in the mirage, Chitaki sat cross-legged on the bed in a formal manner, his body shrouded in golden light, his eyes closed tightly, and his hands folded in front of his chest with the same constantly changing gestures.
In front of her, Concubine Yan, who was wearing a long skirt, stopped and stood quietly, her eyes soft, as if she was looking at her daughter or somewhere else.

On the outskirts of Songhaicheng, Gu Xun and Zhang Liang walked hand in hand on the road, about to return to the city.
"Has it been determined where Ying Zheng's first stop will be?" Gu Xun asked, following the previous topic of Ying Zheng's eastward tour.
The purpose of Ying Zheng's eastward tour was to suppress the unrest in Qi, Lu, Jingchu and other marginal areas by moving the imperial court. In theory, he would personally 'inspect' all the large cities along the way.
But this is just a face-saving project, it's fine as a matter of fact, he won't really waste energy on these cities.
The first stop Gu Xun asked about, of course, had nothing to do with these cities, but the key areas that Ying Zheng paid attention to - Songhai was undoubtedly one of them, but it was not necessarily the first, let alone the only one.
Zhang Liang thought for a while and replied, "The information that came through does not contain such content, but I guess it should be... Taishan."
When he heard the name of the first peak in the Five Mountains, two words suddenly appeared in Gu Xun's mind.
Feng Chan...
Indeed, it should indeed be Mount Tai.
It's in the land of Qilu, just on the way.
However, the only thing Gu Xun knew about the Feng Chan issue was... the location of Mount Tai, where the Feng Chan was granted.
Mount Tai, the highest mountain in the world and the first of the five mountains.
There is no final conclusion on which five mountains the Five Sacred Mountains are in the pre-Qin period. Different periods are composed of different peaks. The only constant is that Mount Tai is always the first of the Five Sacred Mountains and the best mountain in the world.
It is located in Linzi County of the empire.
But this is just an administrative division. If you take a closer look, the location of Taishan is very clever. It is located in the southwest corner of Linzi County, the southeast corner of Jibei County, the northeast corner of Xue County, and the southeast corner of Langya County. It belongs to the four counties.
The place of intersection.
The closest city to Mount Tai is Boyang, Jibei County.
This is all Gu Xun knows about Mount Tai's Fengchan Ceremony. As for the content of the Fengchan Ceremony...that is his blind spot in knowledge.
The ceremony of enshrining Zen has been around since ancient times, at least for a thousand years. However, in recent hundreds of years, due to the decline of the Zhou royal family and the disputes between princes, this ceremony, which was almost the most solemn ceremony for ancient kings, has disappeared.
Even Confucius knew little about the Zen Ceremony and could only look at the ruins of Mount Tai and sigh in wonder.
Although Gu Xun has read a lot of idle books, he has not studied it to this extent.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Confucian scholars in Qilu are going to have a lot of fun."
Zhang Liang pursed his lips and smiled, and replied, "I'm afraid... it's more than just ordinary excitement."
Matters related to the Fengchan Ceremony have long been lost in history over time and war. Not even Xunzi was able to restore the real Fengchan Ceremony, let alone other Confucian scholars.
But precisely because no one understands it, they want to fight even more - whoever can let Ying Zheng choose their plan will be tantamount to taking over the orthodoxy of the Fengchan Ceremony in his own name.
Not many Confucian scholars... no, it should be said that not many people can resist this ultimate temptation of fame and fortune.
Zhang Liang knows Confucian disciples very well, and not everyone has the integrity and determination of his senior brother Fu Nian.
He is looking forward to the next scene where the Confucian scholars in Qilu land will beat the brains out of dogs.
Fu Nian will definitely strictly control Xiaoshengxian Village. Zhang Liang doesn't care whether other Confucian scholars die or not.
The eight branches of Confucianism are much more ruthless than the two branches of Taoism!
………………
Dongjun, Daze Mountain.
After Han Xin put forward the proposal for the four generals Feng Linhuo to lead the army, Tian Yan naturally approved it without any doubt.
Other senior officials of the farm, such as Tian Hu, Tian Zhong and others, were certainly concerned, but for the time being they accepted it with pinched noses.
Because you don't recognize it, you have to go up.
Tian Hu wouldn't be afraid of anyone in a fight, but in a battle...he felt that his head-on attack tactics might not be effective.
It's better to let the professionals from the Zhu family take over. If they win, everyone will be happy, and if they lose, they don't have to take the blame themselves.
Once the proposal is approved, the next step is to implement it.
As the largest gang in the world, peasant disciples may not be qualified as soldiers, but their mobilization ability is not bad.
In a very short period of time, the Six Halls gathered nearly 40,000 disciples, and each of them assigned 10,000 disciples to the four men of Long Qie.
This is not all, just the first batch of people gathered. If necessary, another 30 to 40,000 people can be gathered later.
However, 80,000 people is the limit, and 100,000 disciples is just a rough number.
Naturally, the most ideal way to divide these six disciples is to disrupt them all, so that through the training of war, the invisible barriers between the six halls can be erased, and they can completely form a regular army.
But Han Xin's goal was just to repel Wang Li, not to train troops for the peasants.
This kind of disruptive and reorganization plan may affect combat effectiveness in the early stage, which is an unnecessary risk. Han Xin is too lazy to care about the conflicts in Liutang.
So his final division plan is as follows:
The disciples of Shennong Hall and a small number of disciples of Kuei Hall formed a team - the relationship between their hall masters was relatively close;
Most of the Kuei Hall disciples and Gonggong Hall disciples are grouped together - the relationship between their disciples is relatively close;
Some Lieshan Hall disciples and Siyue Hall disciples were grouped together - the relationship between their hall masters was relatively close;
Some of the disciples of Lieshan Hall and the disciples of Chiyou Hall were in the same team - not to mention, the relationship between the master and the disciples was very close.
It's not a perfect balance, but overall it's passable.
After all, the strengths of the six halls are not equal. Shennong Hall Lieshan Hall is the strongest and has the largest number of disciples, Siyue Hall Chiyou Hall is the second, and Kuei Hall Gonggong Hall is the least.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at the four armies that have completed their preliminary assembly, equipped with weapons, and put up temporary banners, Han Xin did not show much happiness.
On the one hand, he was in a dull mood, and on the other hand... it was difficult for him to feel sincerely happy. After all, the quality of the army raised by the peasant disciples was really mediocre.
The four of them, Long Qie, are all riding tall horses with bright and eye-catching armors. Ji Bu is a little more special, but he still has spirit.
As for the peasant disciples, they all wore dark-colored clothes, had no armor, and the weapons in their hands were very rudimentary. At first glance, they were not as good as the wealthier bandits - the peasant family was not a sect lacking weapons, but for a while, they were really capable.
We couldn't get enough weapons to equip tens of thousands of people, so we had to improvise things here and there.
Even so, of this army that theoretically has 40,000 people, only less than 30,000 can go to the battlefield immediately. The others will have to wait for the military supplies and equipment to be gathered.
Fortunately, it must be a tentative attack at the beginning. The Imperial Army will not dispatch the entire army at once. Their numbers are sufficient for the time being.
However, this war cannot be delayed at all.
The supply of grain and grass for tens of thousands of people is a very astonishing figure, and the logistical supply capabilities of farmers cannot be said to be inferior to those of the empire, it can only be said to be non-existent.
Which Jianghu sect has no problem arranging a supply line for itself?
With Wang Li's four front armies surrounding the mountain, the farmers had no logistical supplies at all, only the grain already stored in Daze Mountain.
As long as it exceeds seven days, food and grass will begin to run out, and the fighting strength and morale of the farm disciples will also begin to decline, and they will completely collapse in half a month at most.
Therefore, Wang Li has another battle plan which is to completely seal off Daze Mountain, and then rely on the empire's logistical supplies to use hard labor to kill the farmers!
