"Commander Zhong, my subordinates are disturbing you!" Late at night, Xu Zhiqiong came to Zhong Shen's back garden again, found a place to sit down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Zhong Shen put down the hammer, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, frowned and said, "Why are you here again? I told you not to interfere in your affairs."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I didn't let Commander Zhong get involved in anything. I have something I want to ask Commander Zhong for advice."
"What do you want to ask me?"
"I want to ask the commander for some poetry!"
"Don't ask for advice, you have no talent for writing poetry!"
That makes sense!
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Yes, I can't write a poem like "Red Lips".
Zhong Shen laughed and said: "Although the poem is simple, the artistic conception is profound. When you wrote the poem "Walking to Wuyin Pavilion with a Lantern", you opened your mouth and said something about pain, pain, pain! It is simply vulgar and intolerable!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Commander is right, my subordinates really don't know how to compose poetry, so let's talk about this construction method. Commander, is there any equipment in the world that can make people fly?"
Zhong Shen said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you all during the day? If you want to fly, you must have a Taoism and cultivation level. No equipment can do it!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "I want to ask the commander one more thing. How deep is our general Liang Xianchun's cultivation?"
"How deep is she...how would I know?" Zhong Shen raised the hammer and gently hit the horse's head.
Xu Zhiqiong took another sip of cold tea: "I asked you to stab the words, so you don't know the depth?"
"What did you say?" Zhong Shen continued to beat the horse's head.
"The words on the fat peach."
"There are no peaches at this time of year." Zhong Shen hammered the horse's head crookedly.
"It's hard to say what time it is. It must be a good time for the commander to eat peaches, right?"
Zhong Shen knocked off the iron horse's head with a hammer.
"Xu Zhiqiong, let me tell you, there are some things I haven't done, and I don't recognize them if I have done them."
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but why did you leave the words behind? Do you have to leave them in such a good place?"
"What word? Where? What did you say? Why can't I understand?" Zhong Shen connected the horse's head and then beat it with a hammer.
Xu Zhiqiong put down the tea bowl: "Commander, please save your strength, you will break the head of a horse."
Zhong Shen picked up the hammer and said, "I feel bad too, otherwise I'll change its head."
"That's all. I know my mistake. I didn't see anything. I'm going to leave now." Xu Zhiqiong stood up to leave.
Zhong Shen shouted: "Wait a minute! We can't let Liang Jixiong know about this matter."
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "What did the commander say?"
Zhong Shen beat the iron horse and muttered for a long time: "There are flying instruments, but these things need to be buried in the bones. Can you carry them?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "I can't bear it, and I don't have such extravagant hopes. May I ask the commander, is this flying instrument made by the Mohist family, or is it your own unique method?"
Zhong Shen shook his head and said: "I don't know about others, but I was promoted to the third level with this set of equipment!"
In other words, this is Zhong Shen’s unique method.
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "Besides Liang Xianchun, who else did the commander make weapons for? Is Sui Zhi, the Minister of War, among them?"
Zhong Shen was silent for a long time and said, "You shouldn't ask about this."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Assuming that my subordinates have never asked, dare I ask the commander if this weapon has any weaknesses?"
Zhong Shen sighed and said, "Come with me. I will get a set of tools and explain them to you."
Zhong Shen took Xu Zhiqiong to the secret room in the back garden. In the secret room, Zhong Shen asked: "Have you found the whereabouts of Nie Xing?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Found it, in Qiluo County, Huazhou."
Zhong Shen's attitude changed: "I should still take care of this matter."
…
Outside Qiluo County, in Yanluo Mountain, Li Shabai got off the carriage and stood at the gate of Baihua Village.
The old shopkeeper led the way: "Sir, you come with me, I will inform the owner of the village, you can rest in the guest room first."
Li Shabai followed a young man to the guest room. Just like the process Sui Zhi went through, three women came out to greet Li Shabai and led him into the hot spring.
However, Li Shabai was not too reserved, and played happily with the three Shu beauties: "This soup of nectar, together with the three girls, if sketched out, would be comparable to a fairyland on earth."
A woman laughed and said, "Did the guest officer say that we look like fairies?"
Li Shabai sighed: "If there are fairies in the world, they must not be as beautiful as a few beauties!"
The women were so coaxed by Li Shabai that they served them more thoughtfully. After playing in the hot spring for a while, the owner of the village, Hua Chunting, walked into the hot spring.
"What is your name for this guest officer?"
Li Shabai smiled and said: "Yuan Bingwen, Yuan Ji Silk and Satin Shop in the capital!"
Hua Chunting was stunned: "A few days ago, a guest came. His name is Yuan Bingwu. Does the guest recognize this person?"
Li Shabai said: "This man is my cousin. He said that he bought the True Brocade of Hundred Flowers in Qiluo County, and I also came here because of his reputation."
Hua Chunting clasped her fists and said: "Hua didn't make money from shopkeeper Yuan, but he earned a kind word from shopkeeper Yuan. This business in our village is not in vain. I would like to thank the two shopkeepers Yuan. I don't know what the guest said this time."
How much brocade should I buy?”
"Same as my brother, with two thousand taels of silver in hand, the owner of the village can make his choice!"
Hua Chunting praised: "Having such a happy guest like me is really a blessing to my Baihua Village. I will arrange the brocade tonight and send it to the county for the guest tomorrow."
Li Shabai looked at the three girls on the left and right, and said with a look of reluctance: "It's hard to find such beautiful scenery in the capital."
Hua Chunting poured a glass of wine for Li Shabai and said with a smile: "Huazhou Yuhua is definitely not a wasted name."
Li Shabai picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Master, please give me a price to allow me to stay for two more days. I really can't bear to part with this wonderful place."
Hua Chunting shook his head and smiled: "If you talk about the price, it means the price. Since the guest doesn't mind it, he will stay in my village for as many days as he wants. If the guest settles down here, our village will be more
It’s something you can’t ask for.”
Li Shabai thanked her profusely and said a few polite words, and Hua Chunting left Tangquan.
After returning to the main courtyard, Hua Chunting called the housekeeper and ordered: "Keep an eye on this guest and ask Dai Changshi to come in person tomorrow to see what this guy's cultivation is."
"Looking at your cultivation, there is no need to wear Changshi," the housekeeper said with a smile, "Just call a seventh-grade judge over."
Hua Chunting stared at the housekeeper for a moment. The housekeeper quickly removed his smile, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.
Hua Chunting took a sip of tea, looked at the housekeeper and said: "I have been with you all these years, but I don't know how to use my tricks more brightly. This person is unusual. I call an ordinary judge here, but he is not afraid of being misjudged?"
The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything more and was making tea for Hua Chunting.
After drinking two cups of tea, Hua Chunting asked: "What is the situation of the evil-suppressing army?"
"The army is camped outside Yuling City and has not moved anywhere. There is also a group of troops stationed at Ziquan Pavilion."
Hua Chunting frowned and whispered: "The Nufu Cult urges me to take action every day, but they don't move, so how can I take action?"
…
In the secret pavilion of the palace, Emperor Zhaoxing wrote a letter to Sui Zhi and handed it to Chen Shuncai: "Take a look first. Is there anything wrong with it?"
In recent days, Emperor Zhaoxing seemed to have forgotten Chen Shuncai, and left all matters to the eunuch Qi Anguo.
But tonight, Emperor Zhaoxing suddenly called Chen Shuncai to the Secret Pavilion.
Chen Shuncai took the letter and read it through. There were two orders written in the letter:
One is to let Sui Zhi lead the evil-suppressing army to the vicinity of Taotie's outer body, and let Taotie's outer body swallow up the evil-suppressing army, and emphasize that Liang Jixiong must be swallowed up together.
The second is to let the outer body of Taotie swallow the evil star.
This was the ultimate goal of Emperor Zhaoxing to form the evil-suppressing army and attack the Blood-evil Sect.
Taotie's outer body has swallowed Nie Xing, Liang Jixiong, and a large number of accomplished soldiers of the Suppressing Evil Army, allowing Emperor Zhaoxing to be directly promoted to the third rank, and even hopefully reach the second rank.
"If I can rise to the third level this time, I will never have to be controlled by others in the future. If I can rise to the second level, no one in the world can resist me. This will be the power of the emperor, and this will be the power of the emperor.
!”
Chen Shuncai nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty is wise, this plan is careful and thorough, and it is foolproof!"
Emperor Zhaoxing's face suddenly sank. A fishy smell suddenly appeared, and the candlelight in the room trembled slightly.
Chen Shuncai said the wrong thing.
Emperor Zhaoxing said slowly: "Why did I show you the letter? If you only listened to these flattery words, why didn't you give it to Qi Anguo? His flattery words are more beautiful than yours!"
Chen Shuncai hurriedly saluted and said: "I feel that there are still some flaws in the plan, but I am afraid of His Majesty's power and do not dare to speak."
Emperor Zhaoxing said expressionlessly: "Speak!"
Chen Shuncai said cautiously: "Your Majesty has entrusted all the plans to Sui Shilang. If Sui Zhi has second thoughts, His Majesty's great achievements may be destroyed by his hands."
Emperor Zhaoxing nodded and said: "This is a serious statement, this is what my confidant should say,
Sui Zhi does have two intentions, and I can see it clearly, but every step I ask him to take, he has to take, and I leave no room for him to move."
Chen Shuncai thought for a long time and said: "This old slave is stupid, please give me some advice."
Emperor Zhaoxing smiled, and he really felt satisfied when he looked at Chen Shuncai.
When he was smart, Emperor Zhaoxing was pleased with him, and when he was dull, Emperor Zhaoxing was also pleased with him.
The stupidity he showed at this moment made Emperor Zhaoxing very satisfied.
"The Suppressing Evil Army did not find the Blood Evil Sect's main altar, but accidentally injured the Nufu Sect. Do you know why I didn't stop it?"
Chen Shuncai was surprised and said: "Isn't this move just to beat the Minister of Sui Dynasty?"
"What's the purpose of beating him? After beating him, he will be loyal to me?" Emperor Zhaoxing picked up a few white stones from the chessboard, surrounded a black stone and said, "I am doing this to force him into a desperate situation.
!
The evil-suppressing army attacked the Nufu Sect all the way, but I did not stop it. Instead, I praised it and allowed the evil-suppressing army to fight without hesitation. They fought with victorious battles and captured countless members until they approached Huazhou Altar.
If Sui Zhi wants to preserve the Nufu Sect, he can only annihilate the evil-suppressing army, but is there any other way to go?"
"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Chen Shuncai suddenly realized, but after thinking for a moment, he still had questions, "Your Majesty, what if Sui Zhi does not use the power of Taotie's outer body, but only uses the Nufu Cult to fight the evil-suppressing army to the death?"
Emperor Zhaoxing smiled and nodded: "If Sui Zhi is given more time, he does have a slight chance of winning. Xianchun is a fool, Lin Tianzheng, Zuo Chuxian have been away from the battle formation for a long time, Yuyao does not know how to fight, and only Xu
The ambition is more difficult to control, but after all, it is difficult to sing alone.
If the war drags on, they may not be Sui Zhi's opponents. But now that Liang Jixiong has arrived in the army, how can Sui Zhi fight against Liang Jixiong without using his Taotie body? When Liang Jixiong fights with all his strength, Nufujiao will have
In the face of catastrophe, I asked Sui Zhi if there is still a way out?"
Chen Shuncai was stunned for a long time. He was truly impressed by Emperor Zhaoxing's strategy.
But he still has questions:
"After defeating the evil-suppressing army, I'm afraid Sui Zhi may not be willing to fight against the Blood Evil Sect."
Emperor Zhaoxing shook his head and said: "It may not be possible, but he will definitely refuse!
It is still unclear whether the Taotie outer body or the evil star is stronger or weaker, and Sui Zhi will never take risks easily."
Chen Shuncai didn't understand again: "In this case, His Majesty's plan is still difficult to implement."
Emperor Zhaoxing smiled deeply: "I said, I will not give him any room to move, and he refuses to take action. I will issue an edict and tell the world that the main altar of the Blood Evil Sect is in Yanluo Mountain, and the Suppression Army is here.
Harmed by the Bloody Sect,
I ordered Sui Zhi, the Minister of War, to lead the army to eliminate harm to Daxuan and avenge the evil army. If Sui Zhi resists the order, he will be a traitor, a traitor, and a comrade of the Blood Evil Sect. Everyone in the world can punish him.
If Sui Zhi obeys his will, he will definitely let Taotie fight in his outer body, otherwise he will not be Nie Xing's opponent!"
Chen Shuncai was stunned for a long time. He knew that Emperor Zhaoxing had every plan, but Emperor Zhaoxing would always bring surprises to him every time.
But Chen Shuncai still had problems. It was precisely because he had enough problems that Emperor Zhaoxing had to discuss everything with him.
"What if the Taotie body swallows the evil star and cultivates the climate, which is not controlled by Sui Zhi?
What if he still obeys Sui Zhi's orders and Sui Zhi uses the power of Taotie's outer body to betray the imperial court?
What if Taotie's outer body is no match for the evil star?"
"There is no such thing as a hypothetical!" Emperor Zhaoxing smiled, "A bloody battle between Taotie's outer body and Nie Xing, no matter who the winner is, will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Sui Zhi will die at your hands by then. If you can't kill him, Gongsun Wen will help you, and the rest will be left to me and the Queen."
As he spoke, Emperor Zhaoxing opened his clothes, opened his mouth, and cracked his collarbone, and laughed ferociously with Emperor Zhaoxing.
