Xu Zhiqiong suggested that He Fang lead the troops to put down the rebellion.
Everyone in the secret pavilion, including He Fang, was dumbfounded.
He Fang has never fought in a war and has never shown any military talents. Wouldn't it be child's play for her to lead an army?
But Xu Zhiqiong said this was a good idea.
Emperor Changle was stunned for a moment and said: "Zhiqiong, you have to explain yourself clearly."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "There is truth, and I can explain it clearly, but I cannot explain it."
Liang Jixiong frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Just say it if it makes sense! Zhiqiong, where are you? Is someone watching you? What are your difficulties that you can't tell me!"
Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, if Princess Fanghua can lead the army to go on an expedition, she will be successful immediately."
Emperor Changle shook his head and said: "Zhiqiong, you have made me very embarrassed!"
Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I know that I am full of suspicion. In order to protect me, Your Majesty is also in a very unfavorable situation.
Elder Shengwei is right, I have to go back to the capital to fight for my innocence.
But this time, Your Majesty must trust me and please send Princess Fanghua to the expedition."
"Nonsense!" Liang Jixiong shouted angrily, "The war is related to the survival of Daxuan, how can it be a trivial matter! Zhiqiong, you must be being coerced!"
Emperor Changle stared at the smoke, looked at the outline of Xu Zhiqiong in the smoke.
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chang Le suddenly raised his head, blinked his eyes and said, "Actually, there is no need to think about so many reasons. I will never suffer any loss if I listen to you."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Xu Zhiqiong was overjoyed.
Emperor Changle is not playing tricks.
This is the tacit understanding between him and Emperor Changle.
When Emperor Changle spoke in a non-serious manner, it proved that he understood Xu Zhiqiong's thoughts and thought clearly about the reasoning behind it.
Emperor Changle added: "I know that Princess Fanghua can fight. She has fought in the north and south, and has experienced many large and small battles. It's just that ordinary people don't know that she has this ability."
Everyone was stunned and speechless. Even He Fang didn't know what Emperor Changle meant.
She has never fought in a war, so where does the big and small battles come from? Where does the northern and southern wars come from?
Only Xu Zhiqiong understood what Emperor Changle meant, and quickly echoed: "I didn't intend to speak out about this matter originally, but in this critical moment, I can only rely on Princess Fanghua."
Emperor Changle turned around and said to He Fang: "Princess Fanghua, as an important military official in Pingzhang, it is also your duty to lead troops on expeditions. Are you willing to agree?"
He Fang was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and saluted: "Although I have not led the troops to fight, since your majesty has sent orders, I dare not disobey, but..."
Emperor Changle said: "Just agree, go back and prepare for the expedition."
There was a state of astonishment in the secret pavilion.
Emperor Changle said to the incense burner: "I promise you this matter. You have to help me support the arms, money and food."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Emperor Changle cut off contact, and Yan Anqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, your words are just words of wisdom, but are they meant to confuse Marquis Yun?"
Emperor Changle was surprised and said: "Why do you confuse Marquis Yun? I have never doubted him."
Yan Anqing widened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to send Princess Fanghua to go on an expedition?"
Emperor Changle said: "You are not joking. What I said must be taken seriously."
Liang Jixiong shook his head repeatedly and said: "Absurd, how ridiculous. Your Majesty, the country of Daxuan cannot tolerate such childishness. If you want A Fang to go, you must let me go with him on the expedition!"
"Elder Shengwei!" Emperor Changle said with a serious look, "You must stay and guard the Canglong Palace. This is my will!"
Emperor Changle rarely calls himself me.
When the conversation reached this point, Liang Jixiong could no longer argue.
Yan Anqing silently glanced at Emperor Changle and knew that he was not fooling around. He seemed to have thought this matter through carefully.
Liang Yuyao remained silent as she was trying to figure out the intentions of Emperor Chang Le and Xu Zhiqiong.
She looked at He Fang, who looked very nervous, and she even saw a little fear.
You should be afraid, Chu Xin has been plotted, and going to Yunzhou is extremely dangerous.
Even our ancestors might not be able to reach Yunzhou safely. If He Fang went, wouldn't he be risking his own death?
Could it be that he wanted her to die on purpose?
Liang Yuyao had also found out some information about the agreement between Emperor Changle and He Fang. She knew that He Fang had the intention to become emperor.
Could it be that Yuyang and Zhiqiong wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of He Fang?
It shouldn’t be!
Yuyang is not such a person.
Although Zhi Qiong's temperament is somewhat vicious, he is not capable of resorting to such despicable methods.
What is the reason for this?
…
In the tomb master's house, Long Xiulian asked Sun Qianli: "Who is this He Fang?"
Sun Qianli said: "He Fang was originally a commoner. He joined the Yin-Yang Division and reached the seventh level of Yin-Yang cultivation. At that time, he did not achieve anything.
On the day of the Liangfen Garden Festival, He Fang suddenly appeared, destroyed the Impermanence Formation, and forced Emperor Zhaoxing to flee. From then on, she became the Fanghua Princess of Daxuan, and also became an important military official in Pingzhang."
"Liangfen Garden Festival?" Long Xiulian frowned, "What is this?"
Sun Qianli told the story of the blood sacrifice in Liangfen Garden. Long Xiulian nodded and said: "This woman is really unusual. The little emperor said that she had experienced the Northern and Southern Expeditions, but no one else knew about it. This shows that this is a young woman."
The emperor's confidant,
Moreover, she also has the cultivation of Chaos and Impermanence. If this person goes to Yunzhou, I am afraid that something big will happen.
I don’t know how many crimes this He Fang has committed. I haven’t killed someone for a long time, and my hands are really itchy.”
While speaking, Long Xiulian moved his wrist.
Sun Qianli understood what Long Xiulian meant and quickly saluted: "Sir, if you want to get rid of this person, my subordinates are willing to go with you."
Long Xiulian smiled and said: "Do you think that because you killed the person, the blame will not be placed on me? You still know too little about the rules of our Taoist sect.
Ask the judges from various places to find out clearly when He Fang will go to Yunzhou, and I will handle the rest."
Sun Qianli asked again: "Do you want to discuss this matter with the great Sikong?"
"There is nothing to discuss. We all do our own thing and seek our own benefits. I don't have to be under his control. Is there any news from Du Chunze?"
Sun Qianli said: "Du Yanjun just sent someone here, saying that he had found all the wandering souls near the capital, and only one of the six wandering souls was left."
Long Xiulian nodded: "Ask him to bring all six wandering souls, and I will check them one by one!"
…
In the underworld, Du Guan Shi Cheng brought six wandering souls to the Hall of Yama.
Du Yanjun looked at them one by one and found that there was really only one of these six wandering souls.
"Shi Cheng, thank you for your hard work."
Shi Cheng saluted and said: "It's a matter of one's duty. How dare you talk about hard work? Since Yan Jun has verified that it is correct, I will send the six wandering souls to the Tomb Zaifu."
Du Yanjun shook his head and said, "I'd better send it in person. Long Zhongzai's temperament is hard to predict. If you're not careful, you will offend him."
Shi Cheng said: "Our Taoist sect and the judges have always lived in harmony, why is this Longzhong Prime Minister so domineering?"
Du Yanjun sighed and said: "The dictators are so domineering. Even the emperor is quite afraid of them. That's all. Don't ask any more questions about this matter. Just step aside."
Shi Cheng returned to his capital palace, dismissed his attendants, and went to the backyard alone.
A handsome man in black walked out of the wing. This man was none other than Hei Wuchang, Zhong Jianxue.
"What do you say, Mr. Yan?"
Shi Cheng said: "I want to send those six wandering souls to the Tomb Zaifu, but Du Yanjun insists on sending them in person."
Zhong Jianxue frowned and said, "What are the uses of these six wandering souls?"
Shi Cheng shook his head and said: "Because they only have one soul, their identities cannot be found out for the time being, but there is a woman whose wandering soul is a bit special. She has traces of the soul-gathering pill on her body. She should have come out of the soul-joining puppet."
"The Soul Puppet? Is this related to the Onmyoji Division?" Zhong Jianxue thought for a moment and said, "I will go to the mortal world to investigate again."
Shi Cheng said: "You must be careful, Du Yanjun is still sending people everywhere to arrest you."
…
Late at night, Long Xiulian came to Chen Shuncai's residence.
Chen Shuncai was sitting silently in the courtyard. The eunuch's perception was very keen. He knew that Long Xiulian was nearby, and he pulled out a bench and said in a deep voice: "Come and sit."
Long Xiulian showed up directly and sat opposite Chen Shuncai.
"Chen Bingbi, have you thought about it?"
Chen Shuncai said: "To be honest, I can't trust you."
Long Xiulian smiled and said: "You don't have to trust me, just trust her."
After saying this, Long Xiulian waved his hand gently, and a figure of Mo Hu appeared in front of Chen Shuncai.
Although it was just a figure, Chen Shuncai immediately recognized her identity.
It's Qu Qiao.
Even though she looked like a girl, Chen Shuncai would never admit her mistake when she lowered her head.
Long Xiulian said: "I helped you find this remnant soul. As long as you put it into your body, your lady's soul will be intact."
Chen Shuncai's cheeks twitched a few times.
Long Xiulian waved his hand again, and Na Mohu's figure disappeared: "How about it, Chen Bingbi, are you willing to do something for me?
If you don't want to, I will send this soul back to the underworld. A remnant soul like this will definitely not be reincarnated. It may have been taken in by some ghost messenger and tortured until it disappears."
Chen Shuncai whispered: "What do you want me to do?"
"I want to go to the palace and help me save someone."
"who?"
Long Xiulian said: "Empress Dowager Chai Qiuci, her real name is He Shuiling."
Chen Shuncai hesitated for a moment and said, "There are traps all around Baoci Hall. I'm afraid I won't be able to save her by myself."
Long Xiulian said: "Don't worry, I will find someone to help you. That person is the best at defusing traps. As long as He Shuiling can be rescued, this residual soul will be given to Madam."
…
Three days later, He Fang led more than 100 sergeants to Yunzhou, preparing to join the 5,000-strong army to put down the rebellion.
The Onmyoji sent him off with a magical formation, and after walking for a day, he arrived at Huazhou.
He Fang ordered the sergeants to set up camp and rest for the night.
That night, He Fang was reading military books in the camp, when a cold wind blew, and a man in Tsing Yi, wearing a mask, quietly walked into the military tent.
He Fang was startled and shouted: "Who are you?"
The man said: "Your Highness, don't be alarmed. I won't hurt your life. I just want to ask you a few things. Let me talk about the first one. What is your relationship with the Queen Mother Chai Qiuci?"
He Fang shouted loudly: "Where are the guards? Capture this thief!"
The masked man shook his head and said: "Those guards are all fast asleep. They have been running all the way and working hard, so let them sleep a little longer!"
He Fang drew out her sword and glared at the masked man.
The masked man sighed: "You are really stubborn, that's all. I'll gouge out one of your eyes first, and then we can talk slowly. Then you will definitely be able to talk a lot more freely."
The masked man suddenly appeared in front of him, pulled out a short knife and was about to gouge out He Fang's left eye.
He was too fast and He Fang didn't react at all.
A reamer suddenly fell from above his head. The masked man was shocked and quickly backed away.
Before his footing was stable, a pit suddenly appeared under his feet. The masked man stepped on the air and almost fell. Using his dexterity, he stepped on the edge of the pit and jumped up.
As soon as his body took off, countless spears flew from all directions.
The spear darts were extremely fast, and the masked man tried his best to dodge in the air, but was still hit by one dart each on his left shoulder, left knee, and right arm.
The masked man landed hard, but saw a thin man walking out of the corner of the tent.
The man stared at the mask and asked, "Who are you?"
The masked man asked: "Who are you?"
The man smiled and said: "I am a painter."
This man is none other than Li Shabai.
Painter?
The masked man stared at Li Shabai for a moment, but did not see his cultivation level.
This person has a very high level of cultivation and is good at using mechanisms. He must be a third-grade member of the Moh family.
In addition to bell ginseng, is there any third grade of Mohism in Daxuan?
No wonder He Fang dared to go to Yunzhou, it turned out that he had such an expert beside him.
Since the Mo family was on guard, they shouldn't fight him again.
The masked man took two steps back and was about to leave. Four fire dragons suddenly appeared in the military tent and surrounded the masked man from four directions.
Fire dragons flew and crisscrossed, blocking all exits.
The masked man tapped the seal in his hand, trying to escape by other means.
But the seal didn’t respond!
Before Li Shabai showed up, he covered the surrounding tent with scrolls.
The masked man had no way to escape, and suddenly reached out to a fire dragon.
Li Shabai was startled, he was deliberately making himself angry.
This flame is very special. As long as it is touched by a spark, it can quickly spread throughout the body.
The masked man, covered in flames, looked at Li Shabai calmly.
After a while, the flames on the masked man disappeared.
Li Shabai looked at the masked man in shock, but his own body was on fire.
The fierce flames swallowed up Li Shabai in the blink of an eye.
The masked man sneered: "You don't have good cultivation, but you are too reckless. This time, you will teach me a lesson. Next time you see me..."
Before he finished speaking, the masked man was stunned.
He knew that the third-grade Mo family would not be burned to death easily, but the scene in front of him was beyond his comprehension.
He saw a piece of paper dust coming towards him.
Paper dust?
Is this person made of paper?
Li Shabai's voice suddenly appeared behind him: "Your technique is quite rare, but you only burned a painting, so why are you so happy?"
The masked man was shocked and instantly hid his figure.
But his invisibility technique seemed to be ineffective against Li Shabai. Li Shabai scattered a piece of cinnabar, which landed accurately on the masked man.
The masked man was puzzled. He didn't understand why Li Shabai could see him.
He noticed that there was a little blackness spreading on his shoulders and arms.
He had been hit by three spears before, and the spears left ink marks on his body.
The opponent in front of me is not just the third grade of the Mo family...
The mask melted with cinnabar, revealing Long Xiulian's true face.
His skin and flesh also melted quickly under the cinnabar.
…
Xu Zhiqiong was doing a divination in the Marquis's Mansion. He threw out six copper coins, all of which were sunny side up.
Long Xiulian, you bastard, you hit the nail board and bumped into the human star king.
If he falls into Li Shabai's hands, he may not die, because the judge is good at escaping.
But even if he didn't die, he would have to lose most of his life!
Chang De came to him: "Master, everything is ready."
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "How is Liang Zhenjie's condition?"
Chang Decai said: "I have basically recovered. If I go to the battlefield, I will definitely be able to fight!"
Liang Zhenjie disappeared for a while, and Chang Decai and Yang Wu traveled around for many days to finally find him.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Let's go to Yunzhou now!"
…
In the palace, Emperor Changle waited silently for the news.
He knew that Xu Zhiqiong was about to go on an expedition.
He looked at Liang Jixiong and said: "I have experienced many battles in the north and the south, and I have experienced many large and small battles. What I said is Zhi Qiong."
Liang Jixiong was startled: "Your Majesty, are you asking Zhiqiong to go on an expedition?"
Emperor Changle nodded: "If Zhiqiong goes, we will be able to succeed immediately! With Pingzhang as a witness to important military matters, the suspicion has been cleared, and we are no longer afraid of others spreading rumors."
