"Cannon, it's the cannon of the Ming army!"

"This ...... I'm afraid that's a hundred cannons, right?"

"A hundred cannons are shot down, even our reinforced city walls can't resist it, right?"

"It's over, it's over, we can't win at all!"

Looking at the neatly arranged black cannons under the city wall, the defenders of Taiping City were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and their bodies were like chaff.

Since the Ming army conscripted Zhang Shicheng for the first time two years ago to show the power of the cannon, in the past two years, with the power of the cannon, the Ming army can be said to be invincible, invincible, in just two years, almost completely pacified the south of the Yangtze River.

Especially last month's battle between the Ming army and their own 600,000 sailors in Poyang Lake made them completely see how invincible it is to install cannons on ships-

In that battle, Chen Youliang's 600,000 sailors were almost crushed by the Ming army's 100,000 sailors!

At this time, seeing the Ming army troops under the Taiping City, all the soldiers in Taiping City were all panicked.

"Taishi, do you think this Taiping City can still be defended?"

In Taiping City, Chen Youliang asked Zou Pusheng in a panic.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better for us to think about retreating early. ”

Seeing the panic in Chen Youliang's eyes, Zou Pusheng sighed in his heart, knowing that Chen Youliang had already retreated, so he said after a moment of silence: "Actually...... Your Majesty, the Ming King of the Ming Army, Wei Bi, has always been known for his generosity, Zhang Shicheng two years ago, after he was caught, was also given an idle official position, and he is still alive and well. ”

"This ......"

Hearing Zou Pusheng's answer, a flash of intent flashed in Chen Youliang's eyes, but if he surrendered to Baizhu like this, he was still unwilling, and asked again: "Do we really have no strength to fight?"

"Difficult!"

Zou Pusheng stroked his white beard and frowned: "The Ming army is strong, and our side almost lost all the naval army last month, and the morale has fallen to the bottom, if you force the Ming army, I am afraid that the Ming army will be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

"Alas......"

Hearing Zou Pusheng's words, Chen Youliang looked up to the sky and sighed: "I now regret not listening to General Zhang Dingbian's words, and did not join forces with Wei Bi to attack the Ming army when Wei Bi was conquering Zhang Shicheng two years ago, so that the other party actually became bigger. ”

Zou Pusheng shook his head: "In fact, what General Zhang Dingbian said may not be successful, Wei Bi is a person with great ambitions, in the past few years, he has come to see what he has done, he has planned and then moved, even if we join forces with Zhang Shicheng, I am afraid that we may not be able to defeat him." ”

Chen Youliang fell silent when he heard this.

"Report ~~~!"

Just when the two were relatively silent, an urgent report came from the guard.

"Speak quickly!"

Chen Youliang was shocked.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is shouting under the city, let Your Majesty go out and surrender quickly, otherwise you will have to bombard the city with a hundred cannons, and vow to raze Taiping City to the ground!"

The guard shouted.

"Got it, you go down first!"

After letting the guards out, Chen Youliang's face was cloudy.

Zou Pusheng knew that he was hesitating now, and he didn't open his mouth to urge.

After a while, Chen Youliang smiled bitterly and said disheartenedly: "That's it, even if we can escape this time, the Ming army has become a general trend, can we still escape next time?"

"Your Majesty?"

Hearing Xiao Suo in Chen Youliang's tone, Zou Pusheng raised his eyebrows.

"Master, it's me who can't stand you. ”

Chen Youliang said sadly: "We ...... Surrender!"

……

"Report~~!"

Baizhu was discussing the battle situation with the soldiers in Tianfu, when he suddenly heard an urgent report from the guards outside.

"Enlighten Sect Master!"

The guards came to the main hall, their expressions were full of joy, and they said loudly: "The latest battle situation has come from Taiping City, Chen Youliang led his Taishi Zou Pusheng, and Taiwei Zhang Bi went out of the city to surrender first!"

Hearing the guard's report, everyone in the hall got up and shouted to Baizhu, "Congratulations to the sect leader!"

Baizhu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

Chen Youliang's surrender marks that he has now expanded his power to the entire south of the Yangtze River!

In this case, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is against the Yuan Dynasty.

Just as everyone was rejoicing, they heard another urgent report from the other guards.

"Sect Master, there are a few blond foreigners outside, and they want to ask to see the Sect Master. ”

The guard said as he entered.

"Westerners?"

Baizhu was slightly stunned, not knowing who came.

At this moment, he saw Xiao Zhao suddenly run in from outside, ignoring the guards' obstruction.

"Xiao Zhao, what's wrong?"

In the past, when he was in a meeting, Xiao Zhao was very well-behaved or waited outside, or stayed in the backyard, and never broke into the conference hall.

"Sect Master, please save my mother!"

Seeing Baizhu, Xiao Zhao knelt down on his knees and leaned over to cry.

"Your mother?"

Baizhu was stunned: "Purple Shirt Dragon King senior?"

"That's right. ”

Xiao Zhaomiao's eyes were full of tears: "I went out to buy vegetables just now, and when I came back, I saw several foreigners at the door who were holding my mother. ”

"Ah, I see. ”

Hearing Xiao Zhao's cry, Bai Zhu finally remembered who the guards said about the foreigners.

"Get up. ”

After letting Xiao Zhao get up, Bai Shu comforted: "Don't worry, I will definitely save the Purple Shirt Dragon King." ”

Hearing Baizhu's assurance, Xiao Zhao, who was familiar with the strength of Baizhu, suddenly relaxed a lot.

After persuading Xiao Zhao, Baizhu came to the outside of the mansion.

I saw four old men with blond hair standing quietly in the street, all of them wearing white robes with red flames embroidered on their cuffs, but unlike the Middle-earth Ming Sect, there was a black border embroidered on the edge of their clothes.

Among the four, there is a stunning woman with white skin and a cold appearance - it is the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi.

On both sides of the street, many people who had never seen a foreigner before were looking at them and pointing curiously.

"Is Venerable the leader of the Ming Sect of Middle-earth?"

Seeing Baizhu come out, a blonde old man asked.

"It's underneath,"

Bai Shu smiled: "Presumably you are friends of the Persian Ming Sect?"

"Under the seat of the Holy Maiden of the Lower Persian Ming Sect. ”

The Liuyun Envoy saluted Baiju, and then pointed to a few people next to him: "This is the Miaofeng Envoy, this is the Huiyue Envoy, this is the Juming Baoshu King under the command of the Holy Maiden Sect Master of my Sect, as for this ......"

Pointing to the last Daisie, Liuyun said expressionlessly, "I think the Wei Sect Master should know who she is." ”

"Humph!"

Hearing Liuyun Envoy's words, Dai Qisi snorted coldly, then glanced at Baizhu with a complicated expression, lowered her head again and stopped talking.

"Yes, this is the Purple Shirt Dragon King, one of the four great guardian kings I teach. ”

Bai Zhi's tone was calm, and he said, "This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it inside." ”

Seeing that Baizhu did not have any emotional changes because he and the others caught Dai Qisi, Liuyun made several people look at each other, and the expressions on their faces sank slightly, but looking at the powerful and majestic guards around the mansion, they still suppressed their hearts and entered the mansion with Baizhu.

Entering the inside, looking at the decoration of the mansion, the flowing clouds shocked all of them - they saw that the windows and facades of the mansion were almost all equipped with transparent glass, which looked magnificent.

After these years of vigorous promotion of Mingjiao, not only the Central Plains region knew about glass, but even they in Persia also knew the preciousness of glass.

Seeing that the palace that looked ordinary on the outside was all decorated with glass that was more expensive than gold, the flowing clouds made the three of them speechless for a while, and secretly sighed that the Ming Sect of Middle Earth was really strong.

Looking at the shock on the faces of several people caused by the flowing clouds, the faces of the people of the Ming Sect did not change, but they secretly laughed in their hearts that a few people had never seen the world, and a sense of pride arose.

Entering the room, everyone sat down.

Liuyun Envoy was the first to speak: "Sect Master Wei, I know that you people in the Central Plains have always been secretive when you speak, so I will say it directly. ”

"Your Excellency, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Baizhu stretched out his hand and motioned for Liuyun to make it easier.

"I don't know if the Wei Sect Master knows the origin of your Middle-earth Ming Sect?"

The Liuyun Envoy asked, staring at Baizhu.

"Yes. ”

Baizhu told the relationship between the origin of the Ming Sect in Middle Earth and the Ming Sect in Persia.

"Since Sect Master Wei knows that your Middle Earth Ming Sect originated in Persia, I wonder if you are still willing to act on the orders of our Archmaster?"

Liuyun's eyes lit up and he asked.

Hearing his question, Bai Zhu hadn't spoken yet, and the rest of the Ming Sect people all looked at each other angrily.

Baizhu also shook his head and smiled: "Liuyun Envoy, you can't help but ask a little unwise...... Although our religion originated from the Persian Patriarch, our two religions have not been in contact for more than a hundred years, so where is there any affiliation?"

"Bold!"

Hearing Baizhu's denial that the Ming Sect of Middle Earth was subordinate to the Persian Patriarch, Huiyue slapped the table and stood up.

He slapped the table, and Yang Xiao and the others on the side also stood up, their eyes cold.

"Sit down, the three messengers and the King of the Treasure Tree are guests from afar, and they must not be rude. ”

Baizhu said softly.

"Yes!"

Yang Xiao and the others all sat down when they heard this, but they still looked at Liuyun and the eyes of several people were still not good.

The Moon Envoy also glared at each other unceremoniously.

King Juming Baoshu said in a deep voice: "So...... Are you Middle-earth Ming Sect planning to turn your back on your ancestors?"

"The King of the Treasure Tree is not right. ”

Baizhu's face was pale: "Although my Middle Earth Mingjiao originated from the Persian Sect, after hundreds of years of development, its doctrine and culture have long been different from the Persian Mingjiao...... It even came into its own right. ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Baizhu flatly denied the relationship between the Ming Sect of Middle Earth and the Persian Sect, Liuyun made several people look at each other, and they all shook their heads slightly.

In fact, they had already inquired before they came, and they knew that the strength of the Ming Sect in Middle Earth was strong now, not only the masters in the sect, but even the soldiers and horses under his command exceeded 100,000, which was not inferior to the Persian head sect at all, no, it should be said that it was even better, so Baizhu's reaction did not exceed their expectations.

As soon as he thought of this, Liuyun said: "Well, since the Wei Sect Master does not recognize the relationship with the Persian Sect Chief, then please hand over Dai Qisi's daughter and let us bring it back to Persia, and from now on, the well water of our two sects will not interfere with the river water." ”
