Rows of military formations that were not neat but were terrifyingly powerful were put into formation.
The armored cows and horses must have been fed some unknown drug, their eyes were red, and they snorted from time to time.
On top of the cattle and horses, there were black Buddhist men dressed in black clothes and leather armor, Dahuai sergeants wearing black armor with the word "Huai" tattooed on their chests, and Qianyu Realm monks who were dressed very differently from Chixian.
The taller ones are six or seven meters tall, like a hill, while the short ones are normal people with a calm demeanor, either playing with snakes or hawks, or closing their eyes to meditate.
The position is relatively far back, obviously his status in the military is unusual.
In fact, not only in the army, but also in all Dahuai territories at this time, the people of Qianyu Realm are generally a level higher than the people of Chi County, even the people of Dahuai.
It is said that the Huaihe Household Department is even preparing to formally formulate and issue relevant decrees.
Class distinctions and differences in levels have aroused public anger and resentment among the people of Dahuai, which was originally relatively stable on the surface, causing many disturbances.
For example, it led local masters from Chi County to attack and kill Qianyu Realm monks, high-ranking officials, etc.
It's a pity that there are no real experts to take action, so there is very little movement.
At this time, in the military formation.
In the gathering dim light, a strange white mist slowly rose, surrounding the army.
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of the drums is like thunder, shaking people's hearts and minds.
Amidst the increasingly passionate drum beats, the sun gradually appeared in the clouds.
A thick palm was raised high to cover the sun above his head, and the sun was shining unwillingly between his fingers.
Zong Zhengyuan retracted his hand, still looking directly at the bright sun above his head, with the red sun reflected in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised, revealing a ferocious smile.
At the same time, a hot breath came out of his nostrils.
"Yuzhou Yuyanyu, Shuiyuan County, and the rest are all settled. Now, it is time to go to the north and Huaizhou will be settled."
He said softly, his voice hollow and more ethereal than before.
"Huaizhou is richer and more prosperous than Taizhou and Yuzhou. It can be regarded as the Shangzhou among the three border states. In recent years, many masters have emerged."
Behind him, a figure wearing black armor and a red cloak sighed softly. As he spoke, he raised his head, revealing a heroic face.
The face has strong lines, a broad outline, and a tiger-like eye, which gives him an indescribable power. However, his frosty white temples show a slight trace of vicissitudes of life.
He is General Dahuai, Gong Baoning, the former No. 2 Martial Arts School in Taizhou, the owner of Wu Nian Martial Arts School, and the old uncle of Huai Wuqi.
After the establishment of Dahuai, he became a general.
"Master? Haha, under the general trend, you are just a bigger ant. If you follow the times, that's it. If you go against the trend, haha."
Zong Zhengyuan grinned, showing his white teeth, and said disdainfully.
Nowadays, Yuzhou and Taizhou are all in ruins, and Huaizhou has become a double-team.
Apart from him, there are also masters from Taizhou who crossed the river.
At that time, the black Buddhists from Sitong County in Huaizhou took advantage of the situation and caused a riot.
Under the sudden change both internally and externally, the strange army raided Luojia Mountain and shattered the realm before the people of Huaizhou could react.
Everything can be considered to be settled.
This plan has been simulated several times and all variables have been considered one by one.
Not to mention that the upper echelons of the Great Zhou Dynasty have acquiesced to the affairs here, even if the two parties are really fighting, they are bound to win.
"Is it a general trend?"
Gongbao Ning said silently.
"That's right, the land of the three states is enough to attract the coming of the universe and the two realms to merge. This... is the general trend. It is precisely because you, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have discovered this that you have changed your attitude and agreed to all this."
The smile on Zong Zhengyuan's face faded, his expression became solemn, as if he thought of something, he sighed slightly.
Gong Baoning stopped talking and gently tightened the golden rein in his hand.
The ferocious horse beast has a single horn on its head and wings on its back. It neighs and leans back.
The white fog is gathering and getting thicker.
Army attack.
July.
The sky is high and stuffy, and the sun hangs high in the sky, patrolling the earth, and the light and heat it sheds envelopes the entire Four Passes in sultry heat.
In the distance, several alien ravens stared red at the temporary wall, pecking at the dark red blood stains on it.
Wushuang General Li Yuanqian put his hands behind his hands and looked at the map of Kantu hanging on the wall. On it were rivers and ravines, and there were several large and small red dots.
He had been standing for a long time for a cup of tea.
Apart from the tramping footsteps of patrolling sergeants all around, all that was left was the silent curl of sandalwood on the table.
"Gao Zuo plans to convene the two sects to hold the first military aircraft conference. Related matters are being discussed now. Don't you go and take a look?"
Behind him, a voice said solemnly.
The person who came was clearly Yin Shengshi.
At this time, he was wearing light armor, and his Confucian air had lost a lot, and he had become more heroic.
But the voice still has vicissitudes of life, with a faint hint of worry.
"Gao Zuo? He has a background, he has strength, he is indecisive, but he has a willful temperament. He holds a military conference? It's just superficial!"
Li Yuanqian turned around, raised his eyebrows, and cursed in a low voice.
"He is such a drunkard, and he still holds a military aircraft conference? He knows nothing about military aircraft!"
Thinking of this, an unknown fire arose in his heart.
Yin Shengshi sighed when he heard the sound, "No matter what, he is also a military leader sent by the imperial court. In terms of authority alone, he is higher than you and me. Even if the Marquis talks to him, he must be polite. You should understand..."
Li Yuanqian was silent.
After the fall of Taizhou, nearby states suffered heavy losses and were in danger.
High-level officials from various states held discussions at the Wangjing Military Machine Hall, and finally decided to send reinforcements from each state to assist Yuzhou and Huaizhou.
Gao Zuo was the military governor sent by the imperial court. His father, Zuo Yuan, was the Taiwei of the dynasty.
It's just that his strength is insubstantial, but he is worthy of a grand master, and he is still the kind of rubbish grand master who uses external forces to promote himself.
He is a relationship user through and through.
But forget it if you don't have the strength, you don't have the wisdom, you have commanded many misguided battles, and killed many sergeants.
If it weren't for the master sergeants from Wangjing's line who only accepted his orders, this position of military governor would have been taken away long ago.
But this also makes everyone extremely indifferent to it, even disgusting.
However, the other party didn't seem to care at all. Now they are convening a military aircraft conference to engage in such a formal mission.
It can be said that it is really disgusting.
"What scheme did he come up with this time?" Li Yuanqian asked after a long silence.
"The content of the discussion is that we propose to switch from defense to offense, take the enemy by surprise, achieve victory first, and capture Sitong City at an extremely fast speed." Yin Shengshi replied.
As he spoke, he recalled, imitating the other person's tone and expression.
"Although this plan is simple, it requires speed, and the key is speed. As long as it is fast enough, the flaws will not be flaws, and the weaknesses will not be weaknesses!"
Li Yuanqian fell silent again, stopped answering, and directly changed the topic:
"What's going on over at Sitong? What about Taizhou, Yuzhou, and Luojia Mountain?"
The fall of Yuzhou shocked the world, but the one with the greatest impact was undoubtedly Huaizhou.
At the moment when it was known that Yuzhou had fallen, the border between Yu and Huai was stationed by the military leader Zhou Pu, who was shocked thousands of miles away and led a large army to guard against changes.
After all, Huaizhou is to the north of Yuzhou and Taizhou. If the latter two fall, Huaizhou will be considered to be outflanked. It is false to say that it is not critical.
When Yin Sheng heard this, he also looked solemn, "According to the information I got, eagles and birds are sent out to inspect Tai and Yu states every hour, and manned spies are flowing out. Everything is fine at the moment.
On the other side of Sitong, a Dharma gathering is being held vigorously, but it also seems to be quiescent, which is why Gao Zuo proposed to use offense instead of defense."
"Is everything okay?" Li Yuanqian frowned and muttered to himself.
This is a bit abnormal.
Could it be that it's really the Yuzhou side that has spent a lot of money and is also building momentum?
"Report!"
At this moment, a anxious-looking communications soldier came hurriedly outside.
After coming in, he quickly took out several volumes of love newspapers.
It was written by different people. In order to avoid the theft of information, it was hidden and altered, causing adverse effects.
The two looked at each other, took apart the beeswax, and browsed quickly.
Ten months later.
Yin Shengshi was the first to raise his head, with a look of astonishment on his face, "What...what do you think at this time? The ancient Yabai Dao Sect ruins appear in the Seven Seas?"
His voice was trembling.
The word "Daozong" cannot be simply self-proclaimed. It means that within the sect, there must be a Dharma body to hold up the destiny star and a warrior who can become a great sage.
The Yabai Taoist Sect is even more famous. In ancient times, it was located in the three states of Tai, Huai, and Yu. There were even heavenly beings in the sect.
A true heavenly being.
But then, for some unknown reason, the heavenly being disappeared, and the Yabai Dao Sect also disappeared due to special reasons.
Now the ruins are directly visible?
"Thyabai Taoist Sect?...I always feel like something is wrong..." Li Yuanqian was startled and answered.
At this time, ruins suspected to contain the secrets of heaven and man appeared.
"this……"
Li Yuanqian and Yin Shengshi looked at each other, and their hearts sank at the same time.
Return to Lingtai Sect.
Lin Mo reported that he was attacked and killed by people from the Qianyu Realm in Huaifu City, which led to Zhang Long's death.
Zhang Long's death did not bring any repercussions. On the contrary, it was because of the incident in Huaifu City that the sect sent several spies to investigate.
A few days later.
The sect announced that Zhang Long died because of the sect, and his name was included in the sect's heroic monument, which can be regarded as a good reputation.
At the same time, as a fellow traveler, Lin Mo, the Taoist disciple of the sect, felt inexplicably sad because he failed to save his close friend. He personally went to Huaifu to take his family members to Lingtai City for care, and even accepted his siblings as disciples. This behavior also attracted the attention of the sect.
My brothers and sisters admire me deeply.
"You just have to practice in this temple these days. If you need anything else, just talk to Nie Yun directly and he will tell me."
In Qingliang Temple, on the Jade Square, Lin Mo looked at Zhang Min and Zhang Rou in front of him and said warmly.
Complex colors appeared on his face at the same time, and deep in his eyes, there was a mixture of memories, guilt, and regret.
"It's...Master Lin..."
Zhang Min said in a deep voice, looking at Lin Mo across from him with a sad expression and a hint of awe at the same time.
"Thank you very much this time. We will keep your kindness in mind."
From the beginning when the Zhang family was defeated, to Zhang Long's rescue, then to being imprisoned, and finally to Lin Mo's rescue,
The experiences of Zhang Min and his party can be said to be extremely twists and turns.
And later, when they learned that Zhang Long deliberately sacrificed his body to feed tigers in order to save them, and moved in to rescue the soldiers, but in the end his body was left intact, they felt even more sad.
Among them, the younger sister Zhang Rou cried all night and almost collapsed in tears.
The only good thing is that although Zhang Long died, he left behind an eldest brother, Lin Mo, who had a very high status and protected them.
It can be regarded as something to rely on in troubled times.
"Okay, you go and have a rest. No matter what, life has to go on, and your brother probably doesn't want to see you like this."
Lin Mo said softly, patted Zhang Min on the shoulder, looked at the others whose eyes were red from crying, and said comfortingly.
He was extremely peaceful in his heart.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and world events are unpredictable. Although there was a reason for this betrayal, he still suffered a huge blow.
This is also the reason why after he beat Sumilil to death, he immediately beat Zhang Long to death without saying a word.
Because he really didn't know how to face this old friend.
In order to avoid the embarrassment between the two of them, they had no choice but to take this step.
But after returning to the clan, he thought about it seriously for a long time, and he finally got over the hurdle in his heart.
Everything in this world is changing, just like the Taihuai River flowing southward, and so are people.
They will change and change because of their own experiences, because of the experiences of others, and because of their deviations.
So Lin Mo understood that no matter what, don't have high expectations for others.
Just really keep your inner purity.
This is also the reason why he beat Zhang Long to death but took the initiative to adopt Zhang Min and others.
Of course, he had investigated beforehand whether the other party was involved in the matter and whether he had any grudge against him, and only after confirming that everything was correct did he adopt him.
This was to prevent Lin Mo from being embarrassed after the other party knew the truth, and finally had to take action again to resolve the embarrassment.
Fortunately, I wonder if Zhang Long is blessed by God, and his sisters and brothers are all very lucky, and they all get along well with each other.
Looking at the backs of the brothers and the group leaving after supporting each other.
Lin Mo felt inexplicably calm and felt a little emotional.
'This is great, everyone can get along well and enjoy peace. It's a pity that the world does not leave a way for the weak to survive.'
He remembered the time he spent drinking with Zhang Long before.
I feel a little melancholy in my heart.
Everything is caused by the jealousy and unwillingness of the human heart.
And this is exactly the standard for the weak.
Even if you know it, you can't change it
Unless the world is stable, the strong will not bully the weak.
It's just... is this really possible?
Even Lin Mo now doesn't know the answer.
Therefore, all he can do is continue to practice and increase his strength so that he can find answers and solve his own confusions.
Soon, under a sense of urgency, Lin Mo continued to practice martial arts seriously and strengthen himself.
Start practicing several physical exercises together.
In his free time, he spends time with his family, teaching his disciples, and finding inner peace.
After receiving Yuan Meng and Sumilil's accumulated nourishment, the progress of the technique can be said to be extremely fast.
Because the bronze mask obtained as a trophy at the end actually has the miraculous effect of accelerating the practice of horizontal skills.
"Like just now, I can help you practice, but you have to know that whatever you ask for will be paid for."
A green mask appeared from the top, and a blurry human face appeared. Seeing Lin Mo's serious inquiry, he said arrogantly.
"Help me practice? Do you mean to help me practice horizontal exercises, or all the exercises?"
Lin Mo became interested, looked at the green mask on the table, and asked specifically.
