At night, Shi Yi, whose eyes were already dark red, was the first to notice something. He suddenly raised his head, and a strange array of auras rolled up like a water curtain, and the door opened with a creak.
Song Zheng stood at the door exhausted and his breath was a little disordered. When he saw Shi Yi and others, his body went limp and fell to the ground.
"Scholar!" Everyone exclaimed and rushed forward. They helped Song Zheng up with all their hands and feet. Some injected spiritual energy into him, while others fed him healing medicine. Song Zheng reluctantly opened his eyes, waved his hands and said:
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired..."
At this time, everyone also sensed it, looked at each other, and burst into ecstasy: "The scholar has already made an overhaul in the realm of clear vision!"
Cultivation Dragon Gate, jump through it!
…
Song Zheng knew that this time was extremely dangerous, and it was almost impossible to break through the Cultivation Dragon Gate without any preparation.
Fortunately, there are many treasures and elixirs in his little cave world. He made several mistakes in the process, but he finally got through. The dangers involved are not enough for outsiders to understand.
Although he successfully advanced to the early stage of the realm of clear vision, he suffered huge losses, and even the Yin Shen at the photo level was exhausted. He slept for a whole day, and the energy of heaven and earth naturally integrated into his body, and he finally recovered.
Huangtai Castle was in a state of depression again.
After he woke up, Shi Yi stayed by the bedside and talked to him about the situation in the fort: "The total number of people who survived is less than one hundred and twenty.
The knights suffered heavy losses. You guessed it right. All the knights received the secret decree from Tianhuo. It seems that Tianhuo did it intentionally in selecting the knights. But the content of each knight's secret decree is different.
, I really can’t see what Tianhuo wants to do.
Almost half of the knights failed to complete the secret decree, the two of us are lucky."
Song Zheng suddenly interrupted and asked: "What is your secret order?"
Shi Yi's face remained as usual, and he concealed it very well: "Barbarian Fire, to be honest, I don't know what this treasure is. I just touched it and was pulled back by the sky fire."
Song Zheng stared at him with a half-smile, and Shi Yi asked lightly: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Song Zheng said with a smile, "I just think of the way you were pulled back by the sky fire."
Shi Yi finally couldn't hold it any longer, his old face turned red and he said angrily: "You are not allowed to mention this matter again in this life, otherwise all brothers will have nothing to do!"
"Okay, okay." Song Zheng waved his hands: "I'll just keep it in mind and never mention it again." Shi Yi's veins popped again.
During his period of seclusion, a lot of things accumulated. Cao Guring asked to see him several times and seemed very urgent. Mr. Shi Yuanhe also tried to contact him using the Sky Eye Bone Talisman.
Song Zheng dealt with them one by one.
Cao Guring and Yu Sihai were really frightened.
Yu Sihai has been stuck at the peak of the Knowing Realm for more than ten years. He has despaired of the Mingjing Realm. If he could jump over the Dragon Gate, he would have jumped long ago. But the first imperial edict, the three groups of sky fire and the eight intense waves, easily made him a
Mingjingjing overhaul!
Not only that, the treasures rewarded by Sky Fire are all urgently needed by the two of them, or they can be used together to greatly enhance their strength.
Such "understanding" made their hearts frightened and cold. It is estimated that they will be controlled by the sky fire for the rest of their lives.
Song Zheng had nothing to say to them. This was the "reality" they had to face. He simply appeased the two of them and sent them away.
Then, he used the Sky Eye Bone Talisman to contact Ishihara River.
Shi Yuanhe was full of apologies: "Xiao Song, I didn't think well about this matter. I didn't expect it to end up like this."
The memorial he handed over was withheld. The emperor hadn't seen it yet, but the whole world was already praising Song Zheng's article. The emperor, who couldn't listen to criticism, was immediately furious and issued an order. Shi Yuanhe was reprimanded.
Not to mention the various supplies Song Zheng wanted.
This was something Song Zheng had expected. He was not disappointed at all. He just reported the situation in Huangtai Castle to Shi Yuanhe truthfully.
After hearing the imperial edict of the new Wolf Barracks, Shi Yuanhe was speechless for a long time, and then sighed deeply: "It's fate!"
He added: "The second batch of 1,500 people should be arriving soon. There is also a third batch, smaller in number, 500 people. These are all the death row prisoners that the Hongwu Empire can find."
Song Zheng nodded: "Junior, I will do my best."
Shi Yuanhe suddenly became more excited and said: "There is good news. The Cui family of Qinghe sent someone to inform me that they are willing to support Huangtai Fort. They have already sent a team and are on their way."
Song Zheng was confused: "Cui family of Qinghe?"
Shi Yuanhe said respectfully: "You may not have heard of them. They are not well-known among ordinary people, but the Cui family of Qinghe is a dignified ancient family. In our Hongwu Dynasty, there are only three ancient families in total. The Cui family of Qinghe is
one of them!"
"What are they going to do here?" Song Zheng frowned, feeling that the Taikoo family might not be simply showing kindness.
Shi Yuanhe explained: "The Taikoo family has a long history and holds many secrets that we don't know. They heard about Sky Fire and must have done some investigation secretly, and then decided to send people to support. I estimate that their goal is Sky Fire.
"
Song Zheng suddenly realized that it seemed that there were still people who wanted to "subdue" Tianhuo unrealistically.
The ancient aristocratic family is exceptionally powerful. The strongest aristocratic family that Song Zheng has ever seen is currently the medieval aristocratic family Taiya Shuangzhao. The third-level and fourth-level spiritual treasures can be taken out at will.
But compared to the Taikoo Family, they pale into insignificance.
Ishihara He was a veteran of the three dynasties, and Huangtai Castle was now his territory. When the Cui family of Qinghe came, they just "notified" him, and did not need Shi Yuanhe's "permission" at all.
Even this notification was probably just out of politeness and upbringing from the Taikoo family.
But Shi Yuanhe didn't feel offended, because they were the Cui family of Qinghe, so they should be treated as such!
Seemingly sensing Song Zheng's disdain, Shi Yuanhe emphasized: "Don't underestimate the Taikoo Family! The secrets they hold are far beyond our imagination. They have informed me of the 'difficulty' of Huangtai Castle.
, they have a clue, and they speculate that it is related to an event in an extremely long time ago."
Song Zheng was surprised: "They already have a clue?"
Shi Yuanhe smiled heartily and had great confidence in the Taikoo family: "If anyone in our court can solve the problem of sky fire, it may not be the imperial court, but it will definitely be the Taikoo family!"
Song Zheng was greatly surprised: "Well, if they can really deal with Tianhuo, I will definitely cooperate with them!"
Shi Yuanhe gave a satisfied sound and was about to end this communication. Song Zheng suddenly stopped him: "Sir, I have something important to ask for your help."
Ishihara River said cheerfully: "What's the matter? Just say it."
Song Zheng took out various treasures and told Shi Yuanhe the situation in detail. Shi Yuanhe asked doubtfully: "Is this situation still necessary?"
"Take it back," Song Zheng still said, "It's always a valuable treasure."
"Okay." Shi Yuanhe said generously: "Since you can trust me, I will not let you down!"
"Please, sir!"
…
"The Taikoo family has an extremely ancient heritage." Zhao Xiao sat at the table with a silver knife in his hand, as long and thin as a grass seedling. He easily and freely cut off a piece of Miao Yun'er's newly cooked spiritual food beast meat and put it into his mouth.
Then he took a sip of the wine.
"The seven heroes of the human race on the east bank of the Ling River, the demon tribes, and the Taikoo family are all the most powerful group. It is said that the oldest Taikoo family even has mysterious books left over from the previous civilization era. They will indeed have many unknowns.
We think the method is a huge secret, but in their eyes, it may not be worth mentioning."
A glimmer of hope rose in the eyes of others: "So...there is really a chance this time?"
Zhao Xiao nodded: "I have also heard that the Cui family of Qinghe is one of the three ancient families in the Hongwu Dynasty. If they are willing, it is just a matter of effort to dethrone the emperor."
Zhou Kou said with a smile: "This is a bit exaggerated. If it is true, why didn't the ancient family come forward when the mediocre emperors of the past dynasties were in power? For example, our current emperor is said to be the leader of the country's subjugation, the Cui family of Qinghe
He was not replaced."
Zhao Xiao glanced at him lightly: "Who told you that the Taikoo family must help the country?"
Zhou Kou was stunned by her rhetorical question and didn't know how to answer.
"The Taikoo family has always had a transcendent status, and those foolish emperors dare not provoke them. They have continued for countless dynasties and have seen the rise and fall of the emperor, so they will not change the emperor without authorization. They have the ability, but they will not do so because they will interfere with this.
This kind of thing has extremely high stakes and profound causes and consequences. Unless it touches their fundamental interests, they will not get involved."
Song Zheng couldn't help but nod, what Sister Zhao said was very reasonable.
"Anyway, Mr. Shi has revealed this news. I estimate that the new recruits and people from the Cui family in Qinghe will be here soon. The new recruits will still be dealt with according to the old rules. The Taikoo family is our hope to break away from the shackles of the sky fire. If they have any requests, we will try our best to
assist."
"Okay!" Everyone agreed together.
At this time, everyone's cultivation level is already high, and they possess many treasures. If they can break free from their shackles at this time and return to the Hongwu Dynasty, everyone's future will be bright.
…
There is a clear stream between the two mountains. The spring water falls from a high place, jade beads are jumping on the bluestone, and when the sun shines, a small rainbow shoots out.
A team was waiting on the official road not far away, with complete carriages and horses, and complete escorts.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting on the stone slab beside the spring. She took off her shoes and socks and dipped her snow-white jade feet in the spring water, feeling the refreshing feeling.
On the mountain peaks near and far, there are girl guards armed with flying swords, and no one is allowed to approach.
