Slowly, the clouds began to gather in the sky, covering the sun, and the snow-white clouds gradually turned leaden gray, as if it was about to rain.
"In the rainy season, the weather changes at any time."
Shen Xiang said helplessly and said to the deputy Qianhu next to him: "Let the brothers cover the artillery carriage with tarpaulin, pay special attention to the gunpowder shells and make sure they don't get wet."
"yes."
The deputy Qianhu's name is Wu Canghai, and he is also a disciple of the Shushan Sword Sect. He is already in his thirties, but he is Shen Xiang's nominal nephew.
Shen Xiang is one of the most outstanding disciples of the Sword Sect in the past two hundred years. When he entered the sword pool to pick up the sword, his true energy was released, causing hundreds of swordsmen in the pool to buzz in unison. It automatically jumped out of the pool and flew into his hand.
With such talent in swordsmanship, Fu Yaozi, the Supreme Head of the Sword Sect, who had not accepted a disciple for fifty years, personally accepted him as a closed disciple.
Shen Xiang was born in a family of officials. When he came down from the mountain, he had to join the Imperial Guard and serve the imperial power. The Sword Sect originally did not want to teach him the unique skills of his sect, but the Supreme Master overcame everyone's opinions and taught him the unique skills himself.
In terms of seniority, he is a contemporary swordsman and the younger brother of the head of the Shushan Sword Sect.
Unless there is any serious fault and before he is listed in the golden book, all Jianzong disciples must treat him with utmost respect.
Wu Canghai took the order and left.
Shen Xiang turned his head and saw Cao Jinxing on the horse, holding a map and studying it.
"I've been looking at it for a long time, what are I looking for?"
Shen Xiang has been proud for twenty-six years, only to be defeated by Cao Jinxing, who has better martial arts qualifications than him!
Especially his understanding, he knows it at a glance and masters it in a short time, which is simply inhuman! The only thing that makes him happy is that no matter how awesome Thirteen is, he still has to call him brother.
"I'm looking for a good place to ambush."
Cao Jinxing unfolded the map, pointed to a narrow road between two mountains, and said: "This 'two sections of mountain' is a bit dangerous, so be careful in the past."
Shen Xiang glanced at him and said: "We are almost at Xuanfu Town. They would ambush Mr. Chen at such a close place. They should have arranged for someone to respond. If they really start fighting, they will be alerted and double-teamed from both sides. The gain outweighs the loss."
Cao Jinxing: "But the terrain is really good. Before this, it was an open area, and there was no way to ambush troops. If we go straight, with our current combat power, it will not be easy for them to attack and destroy the cannon."
"That's true."
Shen Xiang glanced at He Chu who was tied up like a dead pig on the artillery cart. In thirteen seconds, in addition to the four scouts, He Chu who was in the middle of Tongyou was captured alive. If Tuotuo had any brains, he would not fight head-on.
"Anyway, be careful."
Cao Jinxing put away the map, changed the topic, and said: "Brother Twelve, how much do you know about the Thirteenth Wing of Mongolia? I only vaguely know that there is such a concept, and I asked my elder brother to arrest me before I could investigate..."
"I know this."
Shen Xiang sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in his expression: "Thirteen Wings, originally refers to the thirteen warriors who helped Temujin unify Mongolia, including himself, each had nicknames, such as 'Blue Wolf' Temujin , 'Wind Eagle' Zhamuhe, 'Arrow God' Zhebie, etc. After Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, he selected warriors to inherit these thirteen titles and become the guardians behind the scenes of the Yuan Dynasty. However, they were all eliminated with the demise of the Yuan Dynasty. They were cut off one by one, and only one or two were left to protect Emperor Yuan Shun as he fled back to the grassland."
Cao Jinxing nodded.
Shen Xiang continued: "Ananda Khan was very ambitious. As his power grew, he did not pay attention to the imperial court. He spent twenty years cultivating talents and reorganized the Thirteen Wings to carry out assassinations for him. Raid and other special missions.
Two years ago, he killed two Datong commander-in-chiefs in a row, and in the past ten years, he assassinated more than a dozen military masters, relying on these thirteen masters of national defense who were highly skilled in martial arts..."
Speaking of this, Shen Xiang looked at Cao Jinxing seriously: "Your predecessor was discovered by the Thirteen Wings while performing an espionage mission, and was surrounded and killed..."
Cao Jinxing's heart skipped a beat.
predecessor
The former Thirteenth Taibao
Shen Xiang clenched his fists and sighed: "He is not like you, who climbed up from the bottom. He is a true disciple of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. He is a junior brother whom the eldest brother trusts very much. He is also recommended by Tao Zhongwen and Tao Zhenren. He reaches the sky in one step and gets His Majesty conferred the title and directly took over as the Thirteenth Taibao. I have not had much contact with him. I only know that he has good strength and a cheerful personality. He takes the lead in everything, but it is a pity..."
Shen Xiang shook his head.
Cao Jinxing frowned: "What are the strengths of these thirteen new inheritors?"
Shen Xiang thought for a while and said: "The strongest ones are 'Cang Lang' and 'White Deer', which were passed down from Temujin and Timur and inherited by Ada Khan's eldest son Xin'ai Huang Taiji and his wife, who practice shamanism The supreme skill "Eternal Life God Skill" has been carefully cultivated by An Dahan and has reached the peak state of Tongyou. However, these two people have been guarding An Dahan for a long time and generally do not act with other people. The rest are also in Tongyou. In the late period of Youyou... By the way, there is one person who needs special attention!"
Shen Xiang said it very solemnly, and Cao Jinxing's expression turned serious: "Who is it?"
"'Secretary Cong'."
"Um"
Cao Jinxing had a strange expression: "This is also called a title that is too unimpressive."
"It is indeed not impressive, but this title is of great significance. This is the thirteenth title. Before Kublai Khan, it was not called this. After Kublai Khan, no one can despise this title."
Shen Xiang's tone was very serious: "It refers to a Han Chinese who entered Kublai Khan's shogunate and helped him conquer the world. His name was Liu Bingzhong. It was he who came up with the word 'Yuan' in the Yuan Dynasty."
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows: "The Han people have entered the Thirteenth Wing of Mongolia"
"yes."
Shen Xiang said: "At that time, there were many wars between Jin, Liao and Song Dynasties. Liu Bingzhong's ancestral home was Ruizhou, which was located in the territory of Liao Kingdom. He had been a member of a large family of officials in the Liao Dynasty for generations. Later he entered the shogunate of the Yuan Dynasty and helped Kublai Khan unify the world. After his death, he received a posthumous title.' Wenzheng'."
Damn it!
Cao Jinxing was surprised, he still knew about this posthumous title.
In Chinese history, after the Tang Dynasty, when literati became officials, the posthumous title they dreamed of getting was Wenzheng!
It is known as "the posthumous title is so beautiful that it cannot be bettered!"
As the supreme ruler, the emperor would not give this posthumous title to others easily.
In history, most of the people who received the posthumous title Wenzheng were admired by the literati at that time, such as Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The fact that Liu Bingzhong received this title shows that Kublai Khan attached great importance to him, and he must have made great contributions.
Shen Xiang continued: "Liu Bingzhong was deeply trusted by Kublai Khan and was his first adviser. He participated in establishing the Jinlianchuan shogunate, conquering Dali, meeting with the Tibetan Buddhist leader Phagpa, pacifying Ali Buge, and conquering the Southern Song Dynasty. A series of major decisions.
He was proficient in Confucianism, Taoism, and the interpretation of the three schools of thought. He knew everything about medicine, divination, and astrology. He also created a rare secret, the "Pingsha Jade Ruler Sutra," which is a rare magical secret that cultivates the true energy of Tianzi. Feng shui, looking for dragon veins, knowing astronomy, knowing geography, calculating the secrets of heaven, everything will be unfavorable!
Liu Bowen once annotated this book. "Secretary Cong" was Liu Bingzhong's position when he was a staff member. To inherit this title, the necessary condition is to be successful in practicing "Pingsha Jade Ruler Sutra"! The way of heaven is mysterious and mysterious, and those who have a sense of heaven, It will definitely be difficult to deal with, so you must be extra careful.”
"Um."
Cao Jinxing wrote down the name.
No one bothered me for dozens of miles, but the sky got darker and darker.
The clouds turned from gray to pitch black, and above the earth, the wind howled, and a heavy rain was about to fall!
The convoy also arrived at Liangshan Mountain.
There are two sections in one mountain, with a narrow road in the middle.
Rumble——
Thunder exploded in the sky!
After brewing for a long time, streaks of blazing white lightning finally broke out, shuttling through the billowing dark clouds like a thunder dragon. The sky and the earth flickered in and out, fully demonstrating the power of nature!
The ominous premonition in Cao Jinxing's heart became stronger and stronger.
People behind him took out their raincoats and were about to put them on.
Cao Jinxing took out the Heavenly Silkworm Armor from the Qiankun Bag and handed it to Huang Fanling, and said: "Remember what I said, if anything happens, let the four ghosts take you away."
Huang Fanling looked at Tiancan Baojia, her heart felt hot, and she raised her head and looked at him: "What about you?"
Cao Jinxing said: "Since I started practicing "The Great Shift of the Universe", these things are no longer needed. Take them."
Huang Fanling took it silently. At this moment, she really wanted to replace all her medical skills with martial arts, so that at least she wouldn't have to watch...
She was in a very low mood.
Next to her, Shen Xiang saw her thoughts and smiled. Thirteen had no shortage of comrades, and he didn't even need comrades. What this Miss Huang had was what Thirteen needed.
The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear...
Everyone put on their raincoats and rode horses inside.
Cao Jinxing took out the Feng Yang Formation, injected his true energy, and communicated with the violent wind everywhere. He did not notice anyone's presence within more than 300 meters.
But the intuition developed through many life-and-death battles told him that there was an ambush in this narrow passage!
"Cheer up! Be alert all around!"
Shen Xiang shouted loudly.
All the royal guards responded in unison.
A motorcade entered the narrow passage...
at the same time.
There is a newly dug small cave behind the thick stone wall on the left side of the mountain.
There were three middle-aged men sitting cross-legged like clay sculptures. Two of them were strong men. One wore iron gloves reaching to his elbows, and the other wore a cassock with an elephant head decoration between his eyebrows.
The leader is dressed as a Han Chinese, in his thirties, with a pale face and no beard.
The three of them were motionless, not even blinking. The energy in their bodies was restrained, and they could not sense the breath of life at all.
The leader's ears moved, and he heard the sound of horse hooves, neighing, and rolling wheels in the strong wind...
"arrive."
He thought silently in his mind, blinked his eyes, and his life revived, breaking away from the 'mud doll' state.
The two big men behind him saw his movements and immediately followed the release of the spell and resumed action.
"The time has come."
The leader gave the order.
The two people behind them immediately took out their palms, hitting the thick stone wall one left and one right. There was a loud bang and gravel flying!
The strong wind rolled back into the cave.
The clothes of the three people were making noise!
They stood at the entrance of the cave and leaned down to look down.
The convoy is at your feet!
Finally appeared...
Below, Cao Jinxing's face changed slightly: "Be careful!"
Without saying a word, Shen Xiang pointed his sword sideways, and the three-foot green blade flew through the strong wind, emitting a piercing scream, and the sword's light was like a dragon, shooting towards the source of the sound!
Facing the sword light that was coming at extremely fast speed, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, raised two fingers, and the lightning flashed, easily repelling the long sword.
The condensed light flew back to Shen Xiang's hand.
The sword buzzed and trembled.
Shen Xiang looked up and his face became serious.
The costumes of these three people were so special that it was difficult for him not to recognize them. He glanced at their iron hands, elephant heads, and Han costumes one by one, and murmured: "The Thirteen Wings of Mongolia, the 'Iron Fist', the 'Elephant Slave'... and …”
Shen Xiang's face was gloomy: "...'Secretary Cong'..."
"Haha, it's rare."
In the cave above, the middle-aged man in Han attire smiled slightly, put his hands behind his hands and said, "There are actually people who can recognize me. It's not in vain that I worked so hard to set up a trap for you..."
"Enemy attack!"
Wu Canghai shouted in a low voice, which was as deafening as thunder in the roaring wind!
The four ghost guards immediately carried Huang Fanling out of the narrow passage and hid in the dark. Lu Jiaming, Gu Yanzhu and others drew their swords one after another. A group of guards in brocade robes stood guard around ten cannons, waiting in full formation.
"it's useless."
The middle-aged man looked at the arrangement below with cold eyes and didn't care. He raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "Clouds will appear at Shen Shi, and thunder will come out at You. The weather, time and place are all under my control. You will definitely be defeated! Those who know the current affairs..."
"Wait a minute."
Cao Jinxing interrupted him directly, and Hengdao immediately said: "You three are only in the late stage of Tongyou, so you dare to claim that you will win. Stop talking nonsense! I'm in a hurry!"
Iron Fist and Elephant Slave are furious!
Secretary Cong waved his hand to stop them, and said to Cao Jinxing: "You are Cao Jinxing, you do have some tricks, but...you see clearly, am I really a 'late stage'?"
Secretary Cong smiled slightly.
The thunder power of the six divine powers of the "Immortal God Art" suddenly burst out in him!
Then, he actually opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing the world. Electric arcs flashed and crackled all over his body, and he used the secret technique of "The God of Immortality" - to induce thunder!
In an instant, thunder and lightning exploded!
The thunder in the sky responded with a loud crack, and the thunder dragon came to the world and struck him squarely!
Secretary Cong introduced thunder into his body, and with the help of the power of crazy thunder and lightning, his whole body's energy surged!
Tongyou Seventh Floor!
The eighth floor of Tongyou!
Tongyou Ninth Floor!
The pinnacle of Tongyou!
The blazing white thunder is like a divine dragon wrapping around the body, and 'Secretary Cong' is bathed in the thunder light, as arrogant as the God of Thunder!
"Hehehe..."
Secretary Cong's deep laughter, accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning, echoed in the narrow valley: "This is called Tianshi. Now, if you see clearly, tell me what state I am in!"
This method is simply bizarre!
All the low-cultivation Jinyi guards were dumbfounded.
Cao Jinxing didn't take it seriously and said with a sneer: "Pretend to be a ghost! Didn't anyone tell you? Tongyou Peak... I have killed several of them!"
