Shangqiu, Zhu Yuanzhang's temporary palace, was already in chaos.
The former general Lan Yu, with the help of a black-robed blind man, as the elder of the White Lotus Sect, controlled more than 100,000 troops of Yingtian Mansion, and was killing the Hangzhou Mansion of the East Sea Monster Clan. This news, with the help of various monks
The method had already been spread through various channels and spread all over the world that day. All high-level officials in Zhu Yuanzhang's circle were aware of it.
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Xu Da and Feng Sheng who rushed back from the Yuncheng camp, Tang He who rushed back from Suzhou and other important ministers stood there silently with serious expressions. The civil and military officials surrounding them,
There was a chirping and buzzing.
For a while, Li Shanchang looked at the chaotic situation in the palace, coughed heavily, and then said in a solemn voice, "The King of Wu is discussing with three masters about Yingtian Mansion. If you have any suggestions, I will report them later. Don't mess up.
square inch
." Li Shanchang is an older man. In recent years, he has been deeply trusted by King Wu Zhu Yuanzhang. He has been the leader in planning and planning many major political policies. He has become a bit like a prime minister. When he said this, the hall quickly became quiet.
In the terrifyingly quiet hall, time flies so fast that it seems that an hour has passed in the blink of an eye. While everyone is looking forward to it, the throne above is always empty. Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others exchanged glances, and then together
Exited the main hall and walked towards the back.
The palace is heavily guarded. In addition to the guards in the open, there are also many capable people and strangers from Zhu Yuanzhang's network, hiding in the dark. Ordinary people would not dare to move around without guidance. Although Li Shanchang and Xu Da are not among these ordinary people, they
They walked very cautiously. They looked intently, and their original solemn expressions became more solemn. Their pace was very slow, and they seemed to be walking smoothly.
Walking at the bottom of the deep lake seemed to be walking on steep rocks. The short few hundred meters actually took them a quarter of an hour. By the time they zigzagged to the deepest part of the palace, Li Shanchang and Xu Da's foreheads were already wet.
It was covered with beads of sweat. But neither of them wiped it off. Their hands were still clasped in front of their chests, and their slightly bowed waists felt extremely tight.
"Report to the King of Wu," Li Shanchang and Xu Da seemed to have the same understanding and almost said at the same time, "We have received an urgent report that there has been a change in Tianfu."
In the mist-shrouded courtyard opposite, a moment later, an old voice slowly came out and came to my ears with the breeze,
"King Wu has already gone to the main hall ahead."
This sound seemed to have infinite magic power. The two of them felt dizzy for a while, and the surrounding scenery and colors rippled and rippled like wind and water. After a few breaths, they were taken back.
As soon as Li Shanchang and Xu Da stood firm, they ignored everyone's surprised gazes and looked intently at the top of their hair. However, their expressions changed again. The throne was still empty. Chirping and buzzing sounds were heard from all over the hall invariably.
voice.
...
Zhu Yuanzhang, at this moment, is sitting with his hands crossed and his legs crossed on a wooden platform covered with thick tiger skin. A few meters away on the left side of the wooden platform, there is an exquisite hollow dragon incense burner with a hint of light yellow.
The aroma rose up in curls, but did not disperse. It was like a living thing, lingering around Zhu Yuanzhang. This is the unique yellow aroma of Qingjing Peak in Lushan Mountain.
The dragon wood incense has dragon patterns in it, and the spiritual fire burns it, which is the best way to concentrate and meditate. On the right side of the wood, there is a sword, about three feet long. On the hilt of the sword, there is a round luminous pearl. The sword
The scabbard is dark black, with many subtle unevenness on it. Under the soft light of the luminous pearl, it shows a somewhat rugged texture. The sword is in the scabbard, and its edge cannot be seen.
Under the wooden collapse, there are more than a hundred tall round seats, divided into three routes. They are all covered with high-quality animal skins and are made of slain demon cultivators. On the left road, there are dozens of seats, only
In the front two rows, eight or nine Taoist priests sat;
On the right side of the road, the seats are packed. They are the elders of the White Lotus Sect who are loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Yin body Confucian cultivators left by Ma Linghua. Although these monks have different clothes and expressions, they are all above the sixth level of the mortal world.
realm.
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes tightly, like an old monk in meditation. The monk below also said nothing.
.......
In the main hall, the chirping and buzzing sound became louder and louder. The expressions of Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others also gradually showed concern. The demon clan of the East China Sea all transformed into demon cultivators, Yingtian Mansion suddenly experienced this change, and the King of Wu was still delayed
If you don't show up, Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others are almost certain that someone is already secretly planning their own escape in this hall.
...
Zhu Yuanzhang finally opened his eyes, glanced down, and said with a smile, "Those people in front are really noisy. Please wait for a moment. Zhu will come back as soon as he leaves." After that, he got up and got off the tree, and took it with him.
Waiting for the sword on the right side of the fallen wood, he gently lifted up the layers of thick curtains and walked towards the back.
.......
"See King Wu!" When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking out from behind the huge screen, Li Shanchang couldn't help but his legs went weak. He couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face.
"See King Wu!" Everyone in the hall immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not sit on the throne. He took the sword in his hand and took two steps forward. He silently stared at the darkness below. Suddenly he raised his head slightly, looking at the rays of sunlight on the top of the palace, and said slowly, "Everyone, my love."
Sir, please get back on your feet quickly."
"Report to the King of Wu." When Li Shanchang saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he raised his head and kept looking upward without saying a word. After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't help but say.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "According to the king's decree, Lan Yu is granted the title of General King of the Southeast. Immediately, he will lead Fu Youde, Kang Maocai and other troops of Yingtian Mansion to recover Suhang and other places."
"King Wu!" Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others all said these two words in unison, and the rest of their words were suppressed by an invisible power.
"Suzhou Camp, go north immediately, join forces with Yuncheng Camp, and attack Qufu tonight." Zhu Yuanzhang then issued another military order.
Tang He, who was originally ordered to go to the Suzhou camp and prepare to attack Xuzhou, immediately accepted the order, turned around and left the hall.
"Deng Yu," Zhu Yuanzhang issued two decrees in a row. The so-called true dragon and emperor's energy unknowingly escaped from the body and filled the air. Others gradually flew into the air, with long swords in their hands.
, there is a flying dragon looming behind him in the green air.
Deng Yu agreed hastily and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang. He saw Zhu Yuanzhang shooting two extremely deep eyes at him. He was so excited that he buried his head deeply. The blood in his body was boiling, warm and drunk.
He said loudly, "Deng Yu is willing to go through fire and water for the King of Wu, no matter what!"
Everyone in the palace was affected by this situation. They were all trembling slightly and were so excited that they completely forgot where they were kneeling and only listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words with bated breath.
"You return to Bengbu immediately, lead the army to attack Yangzhou, and coordinate the southeast." Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Deng Yu, paused, and said slowly, "Be controlled by Lan Yu."
Deng Yu was stunned for a moment, then he took the order, stood up, and walked out of the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Deng Yu's back with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and said to the people below, "This battle is related to the rise and fall of our human race. I am definitely not a fool, and I have my own arrangements."
Reason. "Having said that, he pulled out the sword in his hand from the scabbard. The cold light flashed, and the sword energy broke through the roof of the palace, making bursts of exciting dragon roars.
"King Wu Shengming!" All the people kneeling in the palace shouted in unison.
In the midst of these shouts, Zhu Yuanzhang's figure gradually faded away; the flying dragon behind him also disappeared. There was only a little green air in the air, lingering indistinctly above everyone's heads.
...
The contents of Zhu Yuanzhang's orders had been transmitted to Wuxu, Lan Yu and others within half an hour.
"General King of the Southeast?" Wuxu held the nine-leaf green lotus lantern in his hand and said with a half-smile. His blind red eyes looked at Lan Yu. Lan Yu didn't have a cold war, and said with sincerity and fear from the side, "In this position, naturally
It’s senior’s turn to sit down.”
"Nonsense! This elder is already a cultivator outside the world, how can he covet this worldly fame and power!" Wuxu smiled casually, and the nine-leaf green lotus light flashed in his hand. Then he saw Li Wenzhong and Fu Youde,
Kang Maocai and several real Confucian and Taoist monks flew out of the lamp. They stood there, all looking fearfully at the nine-leaf green lotus lamp in Wuxu's hand.
"The demon army in Zhenjiang has begun to march towards Yingtian Mansion. You, with an army of 60,000, should return to the defense." Wuxu held the Buddha lamp in his hand, watched them silently for a moment, and said so.
Li Wenzhong and others, as well as the real monk, hesitated to speak, but when they saw Wuxu sitting there with an indifferent expression, they did not speak after all. After bowing and thanking him, they followed Lan Yu and walked out.
Wuxu was the only one left in the huge tent. Zhang Ruoyue appeared and sat down opposite Wuxu without any courtesy.
"With only a hundred thousand mediocre soldiers, you want to rush thousands of miles to attack Hangzhou?" Zhang Ruoyue showed an expression of disbelief.
"Where is Fairy Miao Yue?" Wu Xu was holding a nine-leaf green lotus lantern in his hand at this moment. With this object, he could use his spiritual consciousness to explore outside, but only found Zhang Ruoyue. He couldn't help but look happy.
"Master has something to do, and you ordered me to monitor your every move." Zhang Ruoyue did not hide this, but looked at Wuxu with a happy face, hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "Who told you
It's a random bet. Master strictly forbids me from helping you this time."
"How do you know I made a random bet?" Wu Xu smiled lightly.
Zhang Ruoyue shook her head, "Just now you held the nine-leaf green lotus lantern in the sky above Jiming Temple, which attracted the worshipers of the White Lotus Sect. It was so majestic and majestic. But they didn't know that it was all thanks to my master's secret protection."
Wu Xu was secretly surprised and let out an ooh.
It turned out that when Wuxu sacrificed the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, which shone brilliantly, performed miracles and overawed the White Lotus Sect members, several spiritual consciousness explorations from the great monks of the true spirits came from the east and the north. Fortunately, Lu Miaoying came forward, and those true spirits
The great monk's consciousness had just receded, but Wuxu didn't notice it at all.
Zhang Ruoyue, who was standing next to Lu Miaoying, determined from this that even if Wuxu held the Nine-leaf Green Lotus Lamp, he was far from the opponent of the True Spirit Master. It also determined from this that Wuxu could not control or affect this battle at all.
So the bet between Wuxu and Lu Miaoying is not a random bet, what is it?
However, Zhang Ruoyue is still a little happy to see this happen, because if Wuxu loses, he will become his disciple under Lu Miaoying's sect.
Wuxu pondered for a while and suddenly laughed and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang is already a real monk. Now that a real spirit monk has come forward, he will naturally not let Zhu Yuanzhang die." There is an agreement between the real spirit monks that they cannot harm their respective real people for no reason.
Monk, this is already known to everyone.
"That agreement only applies to Lushan Mountain. To be precise, it only applies to the six peaks of Lushan Mountain and the three major forces of Yunhai supported by the Baiyue Sect." Zhang Ruoyue emphasized this point to Wuxu mercilessly.
Wuxu gave another inscrutable smile, "Your Majesty must have gone to negotiate with those great True Spirit monks, right?"
He endured it because he could not tell her the basis for his conclusion that Zhu Yuanzhang would not die.
"Wuxu! Do you think that with that bet, my master will go to quell the next war?!" Zhang Ruoyue suddenly became angry.
It will not calm down, it will only add fuel to the flames. Zhu Yuanzhang must die in the next war, even if the human race in the world is extinct, I am afraid that he will not hesitate. This is the subtext that Wuxu heard. He also understood that he was the same.
Why was Zhang Ruoyue, a member of the human race in this world, suddenly angry? He also knew that Zhang Ruoyue probably wanted Lu Miaoying for a lot, but with his bet, all her efforts were in vain.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault, little monk," Wu Xu said apologetically.
"Why do you make this bet?" Zhang Ruoyue suddenly sighed, "With the nine-leaf green lotus lantern in your hand, and the ordinary sergeant who is less than 100,000? One day in advance, you make a desperate move to Hangzhou, thousands of miles away.
?How many East China Sea demon cultivators can be attracted and restrained?"
Wuxu passed through Lan Yu and sent out all the troops of Yingtian Mansion. Unexpectedly, as soon as he set off and reached Jiangning, the demon army from Zhenjiang was dispatched and went straight to the empty Yingtian Mansion to kill. This did not include the demon army in Huzhou area.
, flying towards Wuxu's army. There are also thousands of demon cultivators in disguise, rushing over from the East China Sea to help...
How to fight this battle? In Zhang Ruoyue's opinion, there is no need to predict.
Wuxu also sighed, and passed his finger across the row of jade symbols for communication on the case table. Zhu Yuanzhang's orders under Shangqiu were stored in a certain piece of jade symbols. Most of the other jade symbols recorded Li Wenzhong's words.
, Fu Youde, Kang Maocai et al.,
After racking his brains, he made a thorough plan to attack Hangzhou Mansion. His fingers finally stopped on a piece of green jade talisman. This jade talisman was made of emerald jade, and its color and texture made it feel like a blue spring if you looked at it for a long time.
, like a vast ocean.
Hangzhou Mansion, the third prince of the Dragon King...Wuxu muttered silently in his heart. After a long time, he raised his head and "looked"
To the outside of the account.
Half a day has passed since the nine-leaf green lotus lantern was sacrificed from Jiming Temple. Even though the Yingtian Mansion army was well-trained, Li Wenzhong and others were basically ready to set off, but now, only half of the more than 100,000-strong army has just left.
Jiangning territory, and Lan Yu's general's camp was still stationed on a high slope on Niushou Mountain near Jiangning City. Wu Xu wished he could just
Flying into the cloudless sky, he rushed to Hangzhou, thousands of miles away, and committed a massacre. But looking outside the tent, at the densely packed carriages and horses moving slowly down the mountain, Wuxu had no choice but to
Suppressing some anxiety, I just hope that after Li Wenzhong takes away part of the army, the army currently under control will be more streamlined and the march speed will be faster.
Outside the camp, the sound of carriages and horses gradually became noisy. Lan Yu returned to the camp and reported to Wuxu that not only did Li Wenzhong and others really take away 60,000 elite soldiers, but they also took away many generals who were good at fighting.
.According to his wishes, Wuxu is singing a high-key tune here. In actual operation, he will give them at most 30,000 to 40,000 old and weak soldiers, and the generals in each department must be retained for his own use.
Wuxu thought for a while and waved his hand, "Let them take them away. The generals who are willing to respond to Tianfu will also let them go back." Lan Yu muttered, still standing there. The nine-leaf green lotus lantern in Wuxu's hand, without warning,
Lights up, a dazzling brilliance shoots out
, hit Lan Yu's body. Lan Yu suddenly stood up and floated in the air, her limbs squirming feebly, her face twitching and twisting rapidly, her eyes wide open, showing an expression of extreme fear and pain, like a fish about to drown.
of fish......
"Lanyu, I heard that you have strict military laws and are willing to kill people at every turn. So does this elder." Wuxu stood with one palm on his chest, and there was a hint of compassion in his words. His lifeless and blood-red eyes, quietly
Looking at the blue jade sticking to the ground like a puddle of mud, after a moment, he suddenly said in a low voice with great desolation, "Call all the remaining generals and elders of the White Lotus Sect in. I, elder, have something to say."
.......
At this moment, Shen Changqi, who was disguised as the third prince of the Dragon King, had returned to Hangzhou and was boating on the West Lake. He was originally going to have a battle with Zhu Yuanzhang in Qufu. But since receiving the news, all the troops of Yingtian Mansion came out to attack.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea was so concerned that he ordered him to lead a thousand demon cultivators back to the southeast to defend the situation.
After Shen and Changqi returned to Hangzhou Mansion, they seemed to have a good time. After mobilizing troops and generals in the palace, they committed suicide.
I ordered some singing and dancing beauties and took a leisurely stroll on the West Lake.
It just so happens that the rainy season of Huangmei has not passed yet, and outside the city of Hangzhou, everything is covered with mist and rain. The beautiful scenery of the West Lake has begun to show a bit of desolation and coldness. Shen and Changqi are lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman. While talking and laughing, the clouds turn into dragons.
, covering them all up. The dragon's breath like the sea and the abyss, carrying the aroma of mellow wine, filled the air, making the lake look like a fairyland. The graceful singing and dancing sounds went east and west, gradually fading away.
Shen and Chang Qi suddenly separated from the beautiful ladies with angry faces on the left and right, put down the wine glass, and slowly sat up. There was still a bit of drunkenness on his face, and there was still a hint of teasing at the corner of his mouth, but his whole person was like an orchid in an empty valley.
, was born alone, making everything around him feel incompatible and ashamed. The singing and dancing stopped, and the beauty retreated.
The clouds outside the boat are surging, and the lake light and lotus shadows are looming and changing...
Shen Changqi no longer looked at the emerald jade talisman on the desk. He was still a little drunk, with a hint of teasing, and raised his glass again, muttering to himself:
Before the war, it was so beautiful.
As the saying goes
If you realize that you have mastered the mysteries through cultivation, you should go up to the next level, the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
The world has been fighting for many years, but it is not as good as the West Lake right before our eyes.
