After the Great Zhou Dynasty occupied the land of Eastern Xinjiang, it had a steady supply of troops. Sooner or later, the Hehuan Sect would be finished!
When they thought of this, the southwestern soldiers immediately geared up and looked at the Hehuan Sect camp opposite with excitement, their eyes glowing green!
But within the Hehuan Sect's camp, things were gloomy and gloomy at this time.
Many monks looked towards Dongjiang in panic, unable to believe their ears.
The Zhou army was so tyrannical that it could conquer even the wild lands. If they turned around and came to the southwest again, would there be any way for monks like them to survive?
At this time, they felt more or less regretful in their hearts, feeling that it was wrong to end up hurting their own lives just for some petty gain.
For a while, some low-level monks chose to protect themselves and withdrew from the southwest battlefield.
Of course, there are also some monks who have firm beliefs and believe that the Hehuan Sect, as one of the ten heavenly sects and having annexed many territories and resources of the Great Cang Empire, is so powerful that a new dynasty cannot match it.
There are also some monks who have married into the Hehuan Sect and have been completely tied to the Hehuan Sect's warships.
Therefore, even if they want to leave this place, it is not easy.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you know the Great Zhou quite well, but do you know their combat strength?"
Among the monks sitting around in twos and threes, a middle-aged monk wearing a crane robe turned sideways and asked a blue-robed Taoist next to him.
This Taoist wearing a blue robe is none other than Shen Gongbao.
Hearing this, he tilted the corner of his mouth, showing a disdainful smile, and said: "Hmph! If those sanctimonious guys were really strong, Emperor Zhou wouldn't have been injured by a poor Taoist."
As soon as he said this, all the cultivators looked at him in shock.
Good guy, he even dared to attack Emperor Zhou. He was really bold.
And the Taoist priest Hepao looked at Shen Gongbao with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
He has a special status. He is the guest of an elder from the Hehuan Sect, named Taoist Hexuan.
He had some understanding of the situation in Dazhou and knew that Emperor Zhou's realm was unfathomable and that ordinary monks could not hurt him.
However, when he thought about it again, he felt that it was not impossible.
After all, this person is a famous deity in the great world. His words of "Fellow Taoist, please stay" have caused many monks misery.
Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Gongbao with a somewhat wary look.
"Fellow Taoist Shen, I have heard that monks who befriended fellow Taoists did not end up well. Is this true?"
Taoist Hexuan thought for a while and asked tentatively.
Shen Gongbao: "...?!"
After hearing this, the people around him instantly retreated and distanced themselves from Shen Gongbao.
They looked at Shen Gongbao in amazement and cursed in secret.
Shen Gongbao's nose moved and he resisted the urge to sneeze.
He glanced at the expressions of the people around him, and he had a thousand filthy words to say in his heart, but he just twitched the corners of his lips, nodded with a smile on his face, and said: "Yes, it is indeed true."
After saying that, he reached out and patted Taoist Hexuan on the shoulder, and sighed sincerely: "Pindao and Taoist friend hit it off immediately. Since Taoist friend mentioned this matter, Pindao will not hide it from you. This matter has to be dealt with from the beginning.
Back then, Conferred God began to talk about..."
Taoist Hexuan: "..."
Practitioners: "..."
Shen Gongbao grabbed Taoist Hexuan's sleeve and said with tears in his eyes: "Fellow Taoist, although Pindao's qualifications are a bit lacking, Pindao's heart is indeed pure and kind. He really couldn't help himself at the beginning..."
Taoist Hexuan pulled back his sleeves and said calmly: "I am just a hearsay, Taoist friends don't need to pay attention."
"Oh, it's just that fellow Taoists don't believe it." Shen Gongbao sighed helplessly and continued with a sad face: "Poor Pindao was misunderstood by the world, and they thought that Pindao was really causing harm to fellow Taoists. However, who could know that Pindao was just following orders?
It’s just an act!”
Hearing this, Taoist Hexuan's expression changed.
Under orders?
Given the circumstances at that time, who else could he take orders from?
Thinking of the Heavenly Lord who dominates the heavens, Taoist Hehe's lips twitched for a moment, but he was speechless in the end.
Looking at the relaxed expression on his face, Shen Gongbao's beard curled up, knowing that he had already coaxed fifty-six out of ten of this man, and the rest would be easy to deal with.
However, when he thought of the wink that an elder of the Hehuan Sect had given him a few days ago, Shen Gongbao felt like scolding his mother.
Emperor Zhou, that indifferent guy, gave him all kinds of problems, but if the poor Taoist didn't get his money back with profits later, it would be a waste of his name!
…
While Shen Gongbao was struggling to break into the camp of the Hehuan Sect monks, Yue Chen also received the decree of Emperor Zhou in Dingjiang City.
"My subordinate, Yang Ling, pays homage to the eldest prince!"
Yang Ling, as the commander of Emperor Zhou's bodyguard and now the envoy of Emperor Zhou, was extremely respectful to Yue Chen and did not go beyond anything.
Even the ministers around the emperor are so respectful to the eldest prince, could it be...
Is this eldest prince really the designated heir apparent?
In the city lord's palace, more generals who came to receive the order saw this scene and each looked at each other with different thoughts.
"Get back on your feet." Yue Chen raised his hand to indicate. After Yang Ling stood firm, he said slowly: "Commander Yang, why did the emperor send you to announce the decree?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling bowed in response, then took out the imperial edict from his arms and unfolded it: "The eldest prince, the emperor has ordered you to lead the Shence Army to assist the southwest battlefield. This place will be guarded by Zhen Guogong. The southwest war is tense.
, please ask the eldest prince to set off immediately!"
After a pause, he continued: "The emperor has spoken, and the eldest princess Fengyang has acted according to my orders. She has won my heart. When she returns to the court, she will be rewarded heavily!"
