Xiao Shunzi made tea, and Qin Wei and Lu Qingfeng sat on both sides of the tea table.
"People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. Since the senior wants to surrender to me, I want to know how much power the Qiyuan Sect can use to support me."
Qin Wei sat up straight, his eyes shining brightly, not hiding the ambition in his heart.
At this point, there is actually nothing to hide. Even if Qin Wei is covering up and doesn't want to admit it, no one will believe it.
Furthermore, now he is considered to have a strong army and numerous strong men under his command. With all the forces competing within Dali, no one can ignore his presence.
The only question is whether or not he will take action, or when he will take action.
Since Lu Qingfeng is here, it means that the Qiyuan Sect is ready to join this competition.
"There are not many disciples of Qi Yuan Sect, so I can only choose thirty people to follow His Highness, but I am willing to serve His Highness!"
Lu Qingfeng said seriously.
When Qin Wei heard this, his eyes lit up.
Thirty disciples of the Qi Yuan Sect, this number sounds very small, but don't forget that the disciples of the Qi Yuan Sect all have cultivation levels of seventh grade or above.
He believed that Lu Qingfeng would not use some disciples with low cultivation level to fool him.
Thirty seventh-grade and above warriors plus Lu Qingfeng, a top innate warrior, came to help, which was definitely an added advantage for Qin Wei.
"Okay, as long as the Qiyuan Sect is willing to help me, I will never let down the Qiyuan Sect."
Qin Wei agreed readily, "From today on, Qi Yuan Sect is my friend. As long as I am still here, the inheritance of Qi Yuan Sect will never be cut off."
When Lu Qingfeng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although with the strength of the Qiyuan Sect, he was qualified to be a guest no matter who he surrendered to, but he still placed his hope on Qin Wei.
Now that Qin Wei accepted his surrender, his hanging heart could finally be relieved.
At the same time, those hesitant attitudes will be completely determined at this moment.
"It is an honor for me, Qi Yuan Sect, to serve His Highness."
He stood up and bowed to Qin Wei.
Qin Wei quickly supported him and said: "Senior, I am too humble. I am lucky to have Qi Yuan Sect to help me."
Since people sincerely surrendered, Qin Wei would naturally give them enough face. Qin Wei no longer cared about the little things that kept him out.
As for whether Qi Yuan Sect is pretending to surrender, Qin Wei is not worried at all.
After helping Lu Qingfeng up, Qin Wei said: "It just so happens that I am planning to take action against Shangyuan Zong. I still need the help of my seniors to do this!"
Pretend to surrender!
You help me destroy the Shangyuan Sect first, and let me see if you are really sincere.
This is Qin Wei's pledge to the Qi Yuan Sect. Only after completing the task of annihilating the Shangyuan Sect will Qin Wei truly accept the Qi Yuan Sect.
Lu Qingfeng did not feel surprised or dissatisfied, and said readily: "Your Highness, please give me your orders. I will do my best."
"So good!"
Qin Wei nodded with satisfaction.
Taking action against Shangyuan Zong has been an idea he has had for a long time. In Shangyuan Zong, Qi Shang first became his enemy, and then three pseudo-innate warriors who took the Yuan-devouring Pill robbed his fiancée. Qin Wei had long thought that Shangyuan Zong
It's very unpleasant. It's just that Qin Wei didn't have the energy to deal with Shangyuan Zong before, so he delayed it until now.
But today, first Zuo Ci said that there were advantages in the mountains, and then Lu Qingfeng came to invest. Qin Wei also felt that it was time to deal with the Shangyuan Sect, and he just took this opportunity to test the sincerity of the Qiyuan Sect.
Afterwards, Qin Wei and Lu Qingfeng chatted for a long time, mainly because Qin Wei was asking about the origins and grudges between Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect.
Lu Qingfeng didn't hide anything. No matter what Qin Wei asked, he answered without reservation.
Therefore, Qin Wei's understanding of Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect became much clearer.
Shangyuan Sect and Qiyuan Sect have the same origin, and their inheritance comes from the ancient sect Ningyuan Sect. Thousands of years ago, a martial artist accidentally discovered the ruins of the ancient sect Ningyuan Sect and found the remains of Ningyuan Sect.
The core skill, Ningxin Jue, thus established the new Ningyuan Sect.
However, this new Ning Yuan Sect only existed for a hundred years before it split into Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect.
Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect both possess the Condensing Heart Technique, and both regard themselves as the inheritance of Ning Yuan Sect. Neither side acknowledges the existence of the other.
In this way, the dispute between the two parties has continued to this day. Coupled with the grudges left over from many battles, Shangyuan Sect and Qiyuan Sect have almost reached the point of being irreconcilable.
However, more than twenty years ago, the Qiyuan Sect and the Shangyuan Sect experienced a fierce battle, and after both sides suffered losses, the two sides stopped fighting and temporarily put aside their grudges.
Temporarily letting go does not mean completely forgetting. As long as Qi Yuan Sect and Shangyuan Sect still exist, they will not stop fighting. At most, they will just stop fighting for a while.
…
Lu Qingfeng stayed in Danlian Fucheng for three days and left after agreeing with Qin Wei on a time to take action against Shangyuan Zong.
After Lu Qingfeng left, Qin Wei also began to prepare.
Shangyuan Sect is not a small force. Although it has relatively few disciples, only a few hundred, each of its disciples is a seventh-grade warrior or above. If you want to deal with such a force, you must have enough masters.
And just when Qin Wei was preparing to deal with Shangyuan Sect, the situation in Yunzhou entered a turbulent situation.
Takeru forty-sixth year, early April.
After more than four months of confrontation with Mao Jiang outside Nanxing City, Lan Yuehou led the Mingyue Army and the 100,000 Yuezhou Army, and finally began the siege of the city.
Outside Nanxing City.
Dark soldiers and horses gathered together. Lan Yuehou rode a white horse and wore silver armor, staring at the dark Nanxing City.
"After this battle, only Nanyang City is left!"
"It's just that Nanyang City is not a good place!"
Lan Yuehou squinted his eyes and sighed inwardly.
This time when the chaos in Yunzhou was over, he kept putting it off because he didn't want to go to Nanyang City.
Because he knew very well how deep the muddy water in Nanyang City was.
On the surface, Nanyang City is just a frontier city, but in fact, Nanyang City has now become a node involving many forces.
The attention of all the forces in southwest Dali, such as the court, the rebels, Xiaoyao Island, the Nanman Royal Court, etc., is now focused on Nanyang City.
Once the Nanyang City war broke out, even Lan Yuehou didn't know what would happen.
Just when Lan Yuehou was thinking about the situation in Nanyang City, a scout galloped in front of him on horseback.
"Let me inform you, Lord Marquis, that an outsider has come to ask for an audience!"
"Outsiders!" Lan Yuehou came back to his senses and looked at the scouts suspiciously.
The scout replied: "They are two people, an old man and a young man. They came in a car. They said they were from Kyoto and wanted to see the Marquis in the rear camp."
Lan Yuehou's expression moved slightly, with a playful smile on his face.
"It seems that the emperor really can't wait any longer!"
Although he still didn't know who the visitor was, he had already guessed the other party's purpose.
Coming from Kyoto, the natural representative is Li Huang.
No one else would come to see him at this time.
"Let them wait until I take over Nanxing City before meeting them."
Lan Yuehou waved his hand and chuckled.
Immediately, he stopped paying attention to the scouts and looked at the old man next to him.
Dong dong dong~~~
The drums beat and the trumpets sound.
A chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
Lan Yuehou did not sit in the middle of the army this time, but rushed out first and attacked the Nanxing City wall.
Fight with the rebels on the city wall.
After a bloody battle, under the bravery of the Mingyue Army, Lan Yuehou occupied the city gate tower in just a moment.
But the real ferocity of this battle has just begun.
The tall city wall became a meat grinder for both sides, and countless soldiers were fighting fiercely.
The city wall limited the combat effectiveness of the powerful Mingyue Army, but the Mingyue Army still climbed onto the city wall with great strength, and the two sides launched a desperate struggle on top of the city wall.
Facing enemies like Lan Yuehou and Mingyue Army, Mao Jiang stood on a high building in the city with a very solemn expression.
Seeing that Lan Yuehou had already climbed onto the tower, Mao Jiang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's time for you to take action!"
Gong Yunshan, who was wearing a large black robe next to him, heard this and nodded gently.
"Walk!"
He rushed towards the city gate tower with three figures wrapped in black robes.
"Haha, good time!"
Lan Yuehou discovered that a powerful enemy was coming. Not only was he not worried at all, but he laughed heartily.
The next moment, he was fighting in a melee with Gong Yunshan and three pseudo-innate warriors, one against four, but he still managed to survive.
When Mao Jiang saw this scene in the distance, his eyes became much darker.
"This Lan Yuehou is indeed a top expert!"
"This battle is still going to be lost!"
He shook his head helplessly and murmured softly.
From the beginning, he never thought about defending Nanxing City. His ultimate goal was also Nanyang City.
Although on the surface, he is the master of Nanyang City, he knows best that Nanyang City is not completely under his control.
As the battle continued, the defenders of Nanxing City soon showed signs of decline. Even in the siege, the Mingyue Army showed very strong fighting power, overwhelming the defenders of Nanxing City and retreating in succession.
In the distance of Nanxing City, an old man and a young man were standing on a hillside overlooking the entire battlefield.
The old man was wearing a loose Confucian shirt, with white hair and a beard flowing on his chest.
The old man was none other than Yan Zhen, and the young man following him was none other than Wang Shouren.
"How do you feel?" Yan Zhen asked, stroking his long beard.
Wang Shouren looked at the Mingyue Army fighting on the city wall with longing, and said: "The Mingyue Army is indeed the most powerful army in Dali!"
Although he is a Confucian scholar, he has always had the idea of making achievements on the battlefield.
And powerful soldiers like the Mingyue Army are the army he most hopes to have.
Yan Zhen narrowed her eyes with a smile and said, "Don't be fooled by the appearance. The Mingyue Army is not as strong as you think."
"Well!" Wang Shouren looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Does Dali have other armies that can rival the Mingyue Army?"
"Of course!" Yan Zhen said: "How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed! Your Majesty dares to put the Mingyue Army in the Beijing camp, so he will naturally have ways to deal with the Mingyue Army."
Wang Shouren's understanding of Dali is not as shallow as before. He has been with Yanzhen for a long time and learned many secrets about Dali from Yanzhen.
Some of them are not even clear to Qin Wei.
"The teacher is talking about Tianwuwei!" Wang Shouren asked.
Yan Zhen nodded and said: "The Tianwu Guard is the most powerful army in Dali, and the Mingyue Army can only be ranked second."
Wang Shouren was thoughtful and suddenly said: "Disciple, there is something unclear."
"What's the matter?" Yan Zhen likes to answer questions for a closed disciple like herself.
"Why is the Mingyue Army so powerful?" Wang Shouren asked.
He had never seen the power of the Tianwu Guard, but the power of the Mingyue Army was right in front of him.
There are only a few thousand soldiers, but they can fight against enemies several times, or even more than ten times.
It is true that there is a gap between the combat effectiveness of the army, but the gap is too big, so big that Wang Shouren can't understand it.
Yan Zhen said: "The reason why the gap is so big is because the Mingyue Army has a military formation! The so-called military formation is a special formation that can fuse the spirit and spirit of the soldiers together, making thousands of soldiers form one body.
, and can also exert powerful energy."
"Look, those soldiers of the Mingyue Army!"
He pointed to the battle on the city wall and said, "Are they invulnerable?"
"It seems true?" Wang Shouren said in surprise.
He didn't pay attention to these just now, he only thought that the armor of the Mingyue Army had strong protective capabilities, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"That is the ability of the military formation. Thousands of soldiers form one body, forming a special connection between them. They can release the energy in the body to form an armor like true energy. This is the power of the Mingyue Army.
place."
"Of course, military formations are not that simple. There are many types of military formations. Some are good at defense, some are good at attacking, and some are good at marching. The Mingyue Army only has defensive formations."
"His Majesty's Tianwu Guards have offensive military formations. They can integrate the strength of thousands of soldiers into one, and explode with attack power that is not weaker than the innate warriors."
"Aren't you always curious why Dali's innate warriors are all in Qingfu Mountain and not in the Imperial City?"
"Because there is no need for innate warriors in the imperial city. Fifteen thousand heavenly warriors are enough to resist a dozen innate warriors."
Yan Zhen spoke in detail.
Wang Shouren asked: "How to train the military formation?"
"I don't know!" Yan Zhen said.
"Ah, the teacher doesn't know either!" Wang Shouren was a little surprised.
"Well, the training method of military formation is a secret of the imperial dynasty. Even I don't know it. But if you want to know more, you can go to the royal family's library and have a look." Yan Zhen said.
He doesn't care about the military formation. Maybe the military formation is very powerful, but for a cultivator, only one's own strength is the most reliable.
"Is there a method for military formation training in the library?" Wang Shouren asked again.
Yan Zhen shook her head and said: "It's not complete, only some fragments, but there are also places that can be used for reference."
"oh!"
Wang Shouren nodded. He was very interested in the method of military formation training and planned to go to the library to look for it after returning to Kyoto.
And just as the two of them were talking, the battle on Nanxing City was coming to an end.
In just two quarters of an hour, the defenders on the Nanxing City Wall were completely defeated.
Thousands of soldiers from the Mingyue Army poured into the city.
However, the battle between Lan Yuehou and Gong Yunshan on the city tower is not over yet.
Lan Yuehou's power once again exceeded Gong Yunshan's expectations. Although he had fought against Lan Yuehou before, he never expected that even with three helpers, he still could not defeat Lan Yuehou and even fell into the trap.
Downwind.
"Hahaha, enjoyable, enjoyable!"
Lan Yuehou laughed and slashed down with the long knife in his hand.
Gong Yunshan quickly retreated and fell under the tower.
He raised his head and looked at the majestic Lan Yuehou above him, his expression extremely ugly.
There are three corpses at the feet of Lan Yuehou, they are the three pseudo-innate warriors he brought.
The three pseudo-innate warriors he had trained at great cost died so easily under Lan Yuehou's sword, which made him feel heartbroken and angry at the same time.
"Gong Yunshan, you old guy, don't run away if you have the ability!" Lan Yuehou laughed.
Gong Yunshan took a deep breath.
No fool would run away!
He turned his head and looked behind him, wanting to signal Mao Jiang to retreat.
But then he realized that Mao Jiang, who was standing on the attic, had long disappeared.
"Damn it!"
He cursed inwardly.
He didn't expect Mao Jiang to be so unloyal, leaving him behind and running away.
Did Mao Jiang really run away?
Well, he really ran away!
When he found out that Nanxing City could no longer be defended, he left immediately.
Because to him, Nanxing City is not important, and neither is Gongyun Mountain.
He wished that Marquis Lan Yue could hack Gong Yunshan to death.
It's just a pity that Gong Yunshan's escape skills were very good. Just when Lan Yuehou was about to chase him, Gong Yunshan turned into an afterimage and disappeared among the defeated army.
It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When Lan Yuehou saw this, he was slightly startled, and then he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "These bereaved dogs have no backbone at all."
"Someone, bring some wine!"
Everyone was running away, so he needed to drink to calm down.
