Chapter 82: Pacifying the Eastern Capital

After cultivating the sword heart to the extreme, Chen Xiang stopped, pressed the sword light, and jumped in front of Fan Qinghui and Senior Concubine Xuan again, taking the punishment of the Light Venerable back into his inventory. Now is not the time to sit on the death pass, and the idea of cultivating this Cihang Sword Code thoroughly in one breath has been extinguished.

"Thank you, Lord Zhai, for your advice." Chen Xiang thanked Fan Qinghui with great joy, he could feel that the other party was already full of awe for him, and he no longer had any calculating heart, because they knew that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery were vain.

Chen Xiang glanced at Concubine Xuan carefully and said, "You seem to be on the edge of the Sword Heart Enlightenment Realm, so I'll just help you." As soon as Chen Xiang stretched out his hand, a ray of light shone on Shi Fei Xuan's body, and then a force like a vast sea rushed into Shi Fei Xuan's body, breaking through all the last levels of Shi Fei Xuan all the way, directly pushing her to the realm of sword heart!

Then, Chen Xiang seemed to feel something else, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, a light shone on Fan Qinghui's body, and the turbulent sea once again rushed into Fan Qinghui's body, breaking away all the meridians that she had completely shaped in a grand but non-violent way, and also helping her to rush directly from the realm of the heart to the realm of the sword heart! You must know this level of estrangement, how many people have spent a lifetime of energy and never rushed up! And if there are no accidents in Fan Qinghui's body, he should not be able to break through this realm at all!

After Chen Xiang opened up the meridians for the two of them and helped them break through the last layer of the realm, she seemed to feel something vaguely in her heart, but she couldn't see it completely clearly, so she couldn't help but ponder for a while.

It seems that this Cihang Sword Book is not complete, or rather, after this seemingly complete Sword Codex, there should be a greater one. It's a more magical swordsmanship, this Cihang Sword Codex seems to be just an introductory martial art to a greater swordsmanship!

And Chen Xiang also instinctively felt that if he wanted to obtain that more mysterious and powerful swordsmanship, he needed to sit further to the death level before he could truly find the secret!

At the same time that Chen Xiang fell into contemplation, Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan also fell into contemplation, looking at the young man in front of them with complicated eyes, and they could see that the other party was indeed a martial idiot. When he practiced martial arts, he actually had an obsessive attitude of ignoring it.

It's just that the two of them can't do this at all, originally Fan Qinghui wanted to use the greatness of the Cihang Sword Code to deter Chen Xiang, just like they used to deter Ning Daoqi, coupled with the full strength of the contemporary Holy Maiden Concubine Xuan, it is impossible to turn the disadvantage into an advantage and turn this powerful young man into a loyal ally of his side.

Who would have thought that not only did they not deter Chen Xiang, but after Chen Xiang cultivated the Cihang Sword Code to the apex in one go, they also took the initiative to help them open the meridians. Pushed them to the highest level of their own swordsmanship, so that the two sides were basically even, and even Chen Xiang had to get more favors from them! So that Fan Qinghui had no way to ask this young man to be his ally like he asked Ning Daoqi. You can only look up at him, waiting for his orders!

And they also seem to know that the Yin Sect, as their old rival, has sent the contemporary heir Wan Wan into the imperial court. became a female official in the outer court, and was the assistant to the new prime minister, and the newly rising concubine in the harem was undefeated. It seems that the number of martial arts is not correct, and he is also a person in the demon gate.

Unless you start anew, otherwise, Cihang Jianzhai has fallen into an absolute disadvantage this time, and it cannot be recovered at all. And in front of him, this seems to be the main reason and motivation for the return of the Great Sui Dynasty, originally Cihang Jianzhai observed that the Sui Dynasty was no longer good, and had already begun to prepare to support the new master, but now the Sui Dynasty was so stumbling and trembling, seeing that he was about to fall, but someone actually helped him!

This makes Cihang Jianzhai, who is bent on waiting for the Sui Dynasty to fall and perish, how embarrassing! Doesn't this mean that on the road of competing for the general trend of the world, they have gone in the wrong direction, and they have taken a wrong step, far behind their old opponent Yin Sect!

Aren't those damn bitches smirking?

What now? Fan Qinghui and Shi Fei Xuan glanced at each other, and they also saw the worries in each other's hearts.

Chen Xiang woke up from his contemplation, and just happened to see the preoccupied eyes of the two main people in Cihang Jianzhai today, and said with a smile: "Patronizing and asking for martial arts, there is a very important matter that needs to be explained by the master of Tongzhai. In today's Shengshang Master's return to the court, a imperial examination conference for the whole empire will be held, and all the heroes of the world will be selected to enter the imperial court, no longer limited by the background of the gatekeeper, but based on real talent as the basis of evaluation, to fill all the vacancies of officials below the sixth rank. ”

Hearing Chen Xiang say this, Fan Qinghui's heart sank even more. When Yang Guang took refuge in Jiangnan before, many Sui Dynasty officials were vain, and even had the intention of establishing themselves as kings after the Sui Dynasty completely collapsed. Moreover, there have been rebellions everywhere this time, and many grassroots officials in the state capital have fled, and the really powerful gate lords will not let their core children go to serve as small sesame officials in those places, but recommend their own disciples or concubines to serve, so in fact, there is a very large vacancy for officials below the sixth grade.

Originally, these favors came from the gate valve, so that even if they became officials, those low-level officials from ordinary families were grateful to the gate valve family, and they would not be grateful to the imperial court. This time, if the imperial court unifies the imperial examination, it means that all these middle and lower-level officials in the world will be brought into their arms!

If the imperial court really gets this done, I am afraid that the return of the imperial court will completely become a resurgence, and it may even be possible to regain its vitality and regain its stability!

How can this be? Fan Qinghui's heart was already in a mess.

Chen Xiang continued: "Moreover, Your Majesty has granted amnesty to the world, and even lifted the ban on the Demon Gate, and even women and Hu people can come to participate in the imperial examination and get a position. Your Majesty has made up his mind to recruit talented people and make meritocracy, and he must let talented people in the world get the opportunity to display their talents. Therefore, I have come to inform your faction that your faction is also full of talents, so don't waste this opportunity. ”

After speaking, Chen Xiang whistled in his mouth, and it resounded loudly in the sky. At this time, the eagle owl that flew to the side to play made a hawk cry in response and flew back quickly.

After Chen Xiang popped out of the state of human and sword unity just now, he found that it was very energy-consuming to want to use the state of human and sword unity, and even needed Chen Xiang to drive it with the energy of the light nuclear fusion reactor in He's Bi, not like usual, where he only needed to use the ordinary true qi he usually cultivated.

Therefore, when there was no need to use this trick, Chen Xiang also wanted to save some effort, so he still used the eagle eagle as a means of transportation to sit back.

At this time, Chen Xiang looked at Concubine Xuan and asked, "Concubine Xuan." Are you ready to go, or are you going to stay for a while? ”

Concubine Xuan glanced at Chen Xiang hesitantly, then at Fan Qinghui, and said, "I want to accompany Master in the sect for a while, and when the imperial court holds the imperial examination, I will naturally go to Chang'an City with righteous talents." ”

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "It's so good, then it's troublesome for Concubine Xuan." Li Shimin, who is troublesome, must be recommended to the imperial court. ”

After speaking, he jumped on the eagle carving. With a flash of golden light, the eagle raised its wings as if it were made of pure copper, rolled up two whirlwinds, and took off into the air.

Wait until Chen Xiang is gone. Fan Qinghui turned around and faced Concubine Xuan, her expression was so complicated, she suddenly slapped Concubine Xuan. He said angrily: "Is your body heavier than that man?" Do you know what it means to be who you are? Do you know how distressed I am when you do this?! ”

Shi Fei Xuan had never seen her master so angry, and she couldn't help but be stunned. I couldn't even dodge this slap!

After beating the concubine, Fan Qinghui hugged the concubine again and cried. Shi Concubine Xuan was also caused by Fan Qinghui to be depressed by the strong and haze of defeat in her heart, and she also cried loudly.

The two strongest women of Cihang Jianzhai hugged each other like this, like the two most ordinary women, crying weakly.

When she was almost crying, Fan Qinghui put away her tears and comforted her concubine, so that she gradually collected her tears.

Fan Qinghui said: "Concubine Xuan, I slapped you for the teacher just now, don't take it to heart, the master really feels sorry for you...... You must know that you are the best disciple of this generation...... It is up to you to suppress the demonic atmosphere of the demon gate in the world...... Now that you are a child, you can no longer be the saint of your own family, and you can no longer inherit the position of the head of the next generation...... Quickly recruit your senior sister Shi Qingxuan...... The saint of the previous generation, Bi Xiu, was lost in the hands of the stinky man of the Demon Gate, and she didn't expect it...... Ay...... It's all Master's incompetence......" he said and sobbed again.

At this time, Concubine Xuan began to comfort Fan Qinghui and said, "Master, although I can no longer be filial in front of Master, I have also successfully approached this most critical man. Even if the Yin Sect's Wan Wan has entered the imperial court one step ahead of me, but is not as close to the key core as me, as long as we promote more talents in the imperial examination this time and conform to the general trend, we can install more of our own people in the imperial court. In this way, we still have a chance to gain the upper hand! ”

Fan Qinghui looked at Concubine Xuan's firm face, her eyes were red again, tears flowed down again, holding Concubine Xuan's head in her arms, patting her gently, just like a mother who was about to marry her daughter, reluctant to give up her daughter.

After putting Shi Fei Xuan in his arms, Fan Qinghui and Shi Fei Xuan couldn't help but think of a question, how did they know that Li Shimin was actually the Ming Master supported by their generation? The more the two of them thought about it, the more their hearts became cold.

Just after Chen Xiang captured the Cihang Sword Code without shedding a drop of blood, he rushed back to his station overnight again. Early tomorrow morning, he will enter Luoyang City with a large army.

Wang Shichong in Luoyang City was one of the people who waited for the fall of the Sui Dynasty to establish himself as king.

Now that the imperial court is weak, this Wang Shichong is guarding the fortified city, I don't know if he will rely on the power in his hands to play a trick of holding Yang Guang hostage under Luoyang City to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes come out.

Now that the authority of the imperial court has fallen to a historical low, it is also very difficult to order these feudal officials to move.

If Wang Shichong has a heart of disobedience, then under Luoyang City, there will be an accident, and Chen Xiang and Pei Ju are very clear that the court of the Sui Dynasty can no longer bear a turmoil, and now if anything happens to Wang Shichong. I'm afraid that these hundreds of thousands of troops seem to be many, but in fact they lack training, let alone have fought any tough battles, and now it seems that the military spirit is available, who knows what will happen to them when they really fight? I'm afraid it's easy to collapse and flee! So here, Chen Xiang and the others cobbled together an army of more than 700,000 people, but in fact it only played a role of intimidation and pressure, and their real combat capability was very questionable.

And as long as Wang Shichong raises the flag of rebellion, then the local powers in all parts of the world who originally ostensibly obeyed the Great Sui Dynasty will once again set off a climax of rebellion! Until then. Chen Xiang and their last hole card will also be smashed under Luoyang City, and at that time, the situation in the world will be out of control, and it will eventually start again.

This is not the result that Chen Xiang wants, let alone the result that Pei Ju wants, Chen Xiang knows that he has made a lot of preparations privately to prevent the worst scene from happening.

At this moment, in the Taishou Yamen of Luoyang City, Wang Shichong was sitting on a chair. Thinking about the problem at hand.

The question before him at this moment is also very practical, that is, whether to raise the flag of rebellion. The cold young man named Yang Xuyan in front of him made him feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't pay attention to it. Although he is now working for the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the two of them have actually known each other for a long time.

"The tutor sent me first. If Lord Wang doesn't know the times, he himself will appear around you. Yang Xuyan said lightly.

Wang Shichong smiled coldly and said, "Although my Taishou Mansion is not said to be an iron wall, it is a huge living person who can't stand it. That's unlikely. Now that the whole of Luoyang is basically in my hands, I wonder if the emperor has anything more valuable than the whole of Luoyang to exchange with me? ”

At this moment, Wang Shichong suddenly felt that all the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. The internal force was violently activated, and he wanted to jump out to the side to avoid the terrible aura behind him, but he found that he had no possibility at all, and jumped up from his chair.

His neck was cold, and he almost fainted, but after a trance and wheezing, he found that he was still alive.

Yang Xuyan stood up and said, "I'm in charge of being here, urging Lord Wang to prepare for the drive, if you don't prepare well, the feeling just now will no longer be an illusion." ”

With that, he walked out.

Although Wang Shichong is a tyrant who occupies Luoyang City and has great ambitions, he also cherishes his life very much, he did have a feeling that he couldn't resist at all just now, and at the same time, he didn't expect that Yang Xuyan would have such amazing strength at all? ! Even Zhai Rang and Li Mi don't necessarily have this kind of strength, how can such a young man have it?! He didn't know at all that the person who exuded a murderous aura behind him just now to intimidate him was not Yang Xuyan, but a dark, Mending Heaven Pavilion clone of Shi Zhixuan.

Wang Shichong sat down in his chair dejectedly, his eyes full of gloom.

Soon, an order was sent to the guards of the city gates, ordering the guards to open the gates and greet the vanguard of the three thousand imperial guards.

Chen Xiang's Three Thousand Sacred Fire Knights rode a small number of war horses and drove into Luoyang City with great vigour, and then quickly took control of this city gate.

And Wang Shichong didn't even have time to find out who was falsely transmitting his order, he understood that as long as this city gate fell into the hands of the imperial army, Luoyang's fortified city would no longer be his advantage, and at this moment, he gave up his last bit of luck and prepared to take over the matter wholeheartedly.

I don't know why, Wang Shichong always felt that his back was very heavy, as if something was pressing him, and his generals looked at him a little strangely.

Wang Shichong took his military officials and Yang Tong, the grandson of Yang Guang, who stayed behind, out of the city fifty miles together to meet the current emperor Yang Guang, and the vanguard entered Luoyang City in turn, and after mastering the key position, Yang Guang's big car slowly entered Luoyang City, and finally occupied Luoyang City again smoothly. can be regarded as having survived this turmoil.

At this time, Wang Shichong felt a sharp light on his back, he hurriedly looked back, and saw that the current prime minister, Master Pei Jupei, was walking behind him with a black face, full of murderous aura, this face was so cold and evil, so that Wang Shichong felt a chill from the depths of his bones.

He suddenly saw a sentence from Master Pei's cold eyes, if it wasn't for his final decision to actively greet the current saint, I am afraid that he would have been dead on the spot by now, and his body would be in a different place.

I really didn't expect that I was so close to the death line!

After entering Yang Guang's palace, Yang Guang summoned the ministers, Wang Shichong saw the faint monarch again, but was a little surprised to find that this guy was no longer that particularly underdrawn, but showed a very plain and calm look, as if everything now was under his control.

But Yang Guang also lost the sense of coercion that reigned in the world, Wang Shichong stood in front of Yang Guang for the first time, and his heart rose very uncontrollably: "Isn't this the emperor like this!" "The feeling comes.

However, the woman in red beside the emperor looked very beautiful and mysterious, and people couldn't help but want to go forward to find out.

In fact, this is the unique charm that Dongfang Undefeated showed after cultivating the Heavenly Demon Gong given to her by Chen Xiang, and it was even more catalyzed by Chen Xiang's full force, making Dongfang Undefeated directly cross several passes and directly cultivate the Heavenly Demon Gong to the eighteenth layer, even Zhu Yuyan, the head of the current Yin Sect, did not cultivate to this level, which shows that Chen Xiang's skills are deep and terrifying.

The charm brought by the Heavenly Demon Gong made every man can't help but want to love and pity her and protect her, but he didn't know that the woman in red beside the emperor was really the most poisonous stinger, and any man who approached her would not be able to survive the dawn of the next day. Of course, Chen Xiang is excepted, because in Chen Xiang's eyes, Dongfang Undefeated is still a powerful general, not a plaything to be played with.

Dongfang Undefeated also seemed to have found a trace of the domineering spirit behind the emperor, and in her ear, there was a headset, which allowed her to communicate privately with the two people who pretended to be the emperor in front of everyone.

Kamen is proficient in observation and arithmetic, while Dongfang Undefeated is proficient in intrigue and power, so the cooperation between the two of them also makes the ministers feel that the emperor's majesty seems to be gone, but the political direction and policy have been reversed back to the right path, and they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After fully entering Luoyang City, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling withdrew from a weak point in the defense of Luoyang City, and they took hundreds of brothers to enter Luoyang City by water, waiting for Chen Xiang's order to open Luoyang City for the empire's 700,000 troops.

didn't expect Wang Shichong to be so cowardly, so their plan naturally did not be implemented.

"I really didn't expect Wang Shichong to be so frightened, and surrender so easily, hey, it's so boring." Kou Zhong carried a knife on his shoulder and a toothpick in his mouth, and said boredly.

Xu Ziling glanced at him and said, "Do you have to die a lot of people, and you have to kill and injure many brothers to be satisfied?" ”

Kou Zhong hurriedly spit out the toothpick in his mouth and hurriedly said, "I didn't say that!" Don't wronged me! I just think it's a shame that we've been training for so long, and we haven't had a chance to show it! ”

Xu Ziling smiled helplessly and said: "I just hope to be so idle forever, but you want to be busy so much, really, I really don't know how to say hello." Don't worry about not having a chance for us to perform, the eldest brother has already given an order, ordering us to go to Taiyuan Li Valve, and invite their children to participate in the imperial examination conference held in Chang'an City, especially a person named Li Shimin, it is said that he is the second son of Tang Gong Li Yuan, who is very talented, and must be invited, if you don't come, you will be blamed on the two of us! ”

Kou Zhong tilted his chin proudly and said, "Hmph, isn't it just a little disciple of the gate valve?" It's time to get caught! ”

He didn't expect that this task was not simple at all. (To be continued......)
