With the return of the captives one by one, the plan of the Vermilion Bird Army to encircle and annihilate the Jiangning patrol battalion was successfully completed. After solving the worries, the Suzaku army continued to advance eastward with the power of great victory, and attacked Ningnan Province in one fell swoop.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the Vermilion Bird Army from entering, Ningnan Province mobilized heavy troops to fortify layer by layer, and at the same time intended to cooperate with Fang Xiong's army to flank the Vermilion Bird Army. But they never imagined that Fang Xiong's army would collapse so quickly.

So much so that the army of Ningnan Province had not yet completed its deployment, and it was broken through by the Suzaku Army.

After breaking through the defense line of Ningnan Province, the Suzaku Army attacked the city and plundered the land in all directions, and captured several state capitals in a row, and the troops pointed directly at Nanzefu, the capital of Ningnan Province.

At the same time, with the increasing power of the Vermilion Bird Army, it has also officially entered the eyes of the major forces of the Qianyuan Empire.

"Kangdingtai is incompetent! I can't even exterminate a small group of thieves, what do I want him to do! After receiving the military report that the Vermilion Bird Army was ravaging Ningnan Province, Emperor Qiande Ji Fengming couldn't help but be furious.

Ji Fengming has been on the throne for twenty-three years, and he thinks that his martial arts are also extremely outstanding among the kings of the Qianyuan Empire. In order to carry forward his martial arts, Ji Fengming even enshrined Zen in Mount Tai this year.

But just when he was most proud, the rise of the Vermilion Bird Army was like a slap in the face, hitting him hard.

"Your Majesty is angry."

Seeing that Ji Fengming was angry, the ministers below hurriedly spoke.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Fengming suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Decree, Kang Dingtai has a negative grace and removes him from his position as governor of Cangnan." ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

As soon as Ji Fengming gave the order, Zhuge Zhan, the head of the Zuo Prime Minister, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although Kang Dingtai has had it, I implore Your Majesty to give him a chance for the sake of his past achievements." ”

Ding Jing, the official in the back, also pleaded: "Your Majesty is now critical to countering the rebellion, Kang Dingtai is familiar with the situation in Cangnan Province, and his dismissal may not be conducive to the counterinsurgency, so please ask Your Majesty to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

But Ji Fengming's face still didn't soften, "Opportunity? I had already given him a chance, but he had sat back and watched the rebels grow stronger, a crime that could not be forgiven! ”

In the end, Ji Fengming forcibly dismissed Kang Dingtai, and the new governor was drafted and submitted by the Ministry of Officials.

Unlike the others present, the Right Prime Minister He Jingxuan had not said a word, and did not seem to care about the rebellion of the Suzaku Army. I saw that his eyebrows were slightly closed, and he looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

Looking at this old fox, Ji Fengming couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, "Does the right prime minister have something to say?" ”

Listening to Ji Fengming's name, He Jingxuan opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clearly handled properly, and the ministers have no objections. ”

Ji Fengming didn't have any expression on his face when he heard this, but said lightly: "Regarding the matter of counterinsurgency, what is the good plan of the Zhongqing family?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Suzaku rebels are getting stronger and stronger, and the local patrol battalion alone is no longer able to quell the rebellion, so please send the Fierce Tiger Legion to exterminate the traitors!" As soon as Ji Fengming finished speaking, the military department Shangshu Zhan Nantian immediately replied.

"What do you think?" Ji Fengming immediately glanced at everyone.

"No objection to the ministers!"

"Okay, immediately order the Fierce Tiger Legion to send troops to quell the rebellion!"

"Obey the order!"

Then a court meeting came to an end, and at the same time, the edict ordering the Fierce Tiger Legion to send troops was also sent to the commander of the Fierce Tiger Legion, Shangguan Jinglei, through the transmission jade plate.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ding Jing followed Zhuge Zhan and asked: "Prime Minister, the rise of this Vermilion Bird Army is really weird, I don't know what the Prime Minister knows?" ”

Zhuge Zhan glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "A traitor is a traitor, how can there be any inside information, as long as you send troops to exterminate it." ”

Then Zhuge Zhan ignored Ding Jing and left, and Ding Jing shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask anything.

In fact, it was not only Ding Jing who was curious about the Vermilion Bird Army, but also many princes in Haotian Imperial City who were also very curious about it. Because the rise of the Vermilion Bird Army was too fast and weird, there was no rumor in advance, and everyone did not find out the root of it after investigation.

Not to mention Zhuge Zhan and Ding Jing, after the right prime minister He Jingxuan returned to the house, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it out, and other princes and nobles also took action. So the Suzaku Army was like a pebble, thrown into the long-calm pond of the Qianyuan Empire, and there were ripples.

At this time, in the palace, Ji Fengming came directly to Shurui Pavilion after going down to the court, which was the palace room of Ji Fengming's favorite concubine Shufei. Because of the matter of the Vermilion Bird Army, Ji Fengming's mood was quite bad, and at this time, only Concubine Shu's dancing posture could drive away the depression in his heart.

I saw that with the sound of music, the beautiful dance of the peerless beauty exuded infinite charm, and Ji Fengming on the side was completely immersed in the charm of the concubine.

"Your Majesty, the concubine danced well."

After the song, Concubine Shu's forehead couldn't help but ooze a trace of sweat.

"The dance of the concubine is really unparalleled in the world, come, accompany me for a drink." Ji Fengming took pity on Concubine Shu into his arms.

"Your Majesty......"

And Concubine Shu's smile made Ji Fengming fascinated.

At the same time, it was not only the Imperial Court that paid attention to the Vermilion Bird Army, but also the Red Lotus Sect that was miserable by the Vermilion Bird Army.

At the beginning, because of Hu Bin's false alarm, Zheng Feilong thought that it was the Red Lotus Sect that was doing things in Qingping County. Therefore, Zheng Feilong swept away many strongholds of the Red Lotus Sect in Ruzhou, causing heavy losses to the Red Lotus Sect.

Suddenly suffering from this pond fish, the Red Lotus Sect was also a little confused. It wasn't until the Suzaku Army rose up that they figured out what was going on.

Originally, with the Red Lotus Sect's style of acting, it was impossible to suffer such a dumb loss. It's just that the sect leader's special envoy, the Golden Eagle Envoy, has important things to do, and it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, so the Red Lotus Sect did not launch a retaliatory action.

Moreover, Ding Bu, the master of the Ruzhou Altar of the Red Lotus Sect, thought that the Vermilion Bird Army was just a little grass, and it was not worth their bothering at all, and it would not take long for them to be exterminated by the imperial court. However, the development of events was completely unexpected by them, and not only was the Vermilion Bird Army not exterminated, but it developed and grew continuously, attacking cities and plundering land, stirring up the world.

In particular, the firearms of the Vermilion Bird Army left an extremely deep impression on the Red Lotus Sect. In order to understand this suddenly emerging force, the Golden Eagle envoy went in person and witnessed the battle of Xingquan of the Vermilion Bird Army.

The overwhelming artillery fire and the extremely sharp muskets all shocked the Golden Eagle Messenger!

The so-called Golden Eagle Envoy is one of the six envoys under the seat of the Red Lotus Sect Leader. They are the confidants of the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and their duty is to inspect the world's altars on behalf of the leader and pass on the orders of the sect leader, so they have a very high status in the Red Lotus Sect.

After witnessing the strength of the Vermilion Bird Army, the Golden Eagle Envoy ordered Ding Buxian to monitor the Vermilion Bird Army, but not to make any changes, and he immediately rushed back to the main altar to report to the sect leader.

"This is the Suzaku Army?"

After reading the photo crystal sent back by the Golden Eagle Envoy, the Red Lotus Sect Leader couldn't help but be very interested in it.

"Yes, sect leader, this Vermilion Bird Army is extremely mysterious, and his subordinates have tried their best, but they haven't found much information about them." The Golden Eagle Messenger replied immediately.

I saw that the Red Lotus Sect Sect Leader looked extremely interested, "Really? However, these firearms are sharp, and if we can obtain the method of making them, it will be of great benefit to the great cause of our teaching! ”

"The subordinates also have this intention, so they rushed back to ask the master to decide!"

"Then do you think we can absorb this Vermilion Bird Army to join my teaching?" Then the Red Lotus Sect Leader asked with interest.

The Golden Eagle Envoy thought for a moment and replied: "Sect Master, my subordinates don't know, but after his subordinates investigated, Li Yun, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army, is greedy and lustful, and there are many women around him. ”

"Lustful! Ha ha...... Haha......"

Hearing that the leader of the Vermilion Bird Army was lustful, the Red Lotus Sect Leader couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After a moment, he stopped, "As long as a man is lustful, he can't become a big thing!" ”

Then he commanded, "Immediately upload the rain to me." ”

"Yes, Master."

After a while, a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance came to the Red Lotus Sect Master.

I saw this beautiful woman, with a pure temperament and a delicate figure, and her snow-white skin even exuded a silver glow. Although she wore a thin veil on her face, her bright eyebrows and bright eyes highlighted the pure beauty and flawless air.

"Yu Xian has seen her father-in-law!" Hua Yuxian came to the Red Lotus Sect Leader and saluted.

"Rain Fiber excuse me." Looking at the stunning beauty in front of him, the Red Lotus Sect Leader's face was calm, and he didn't seem to care about the beautiful appearance of the beauty.

"Father-in-law."

Then Hua Yuxian stood up, and at this time, the Red Lotus Sect Leader said softly: "Yuxian called you today, there is a task for you to perform, I hope you will not disappoint your father." ”

"Please rest assured that Yuxian will do his best to complete the task in order to repay his father-in-law for his nurturing kindness." Hua Yuxian looked like she was willing to die for the king.

"Well, very good, I know that you won't disappoint your father." Then the leader of the Red Lotus Sect pointed to the figure on the crystal and said, "This person's name is Li Yun, he is the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army, the Vermilion Bird Army has sharp weapons and strong combat power, if he can serve our sect, it will be of great help to the great cause of my sect." So I want you to control him, and it's best to get him to join me, understand! ”

"Yuxian understands!"

"Remember, you have to control him at all costs, as long as he is willing to serve our sect, everything else can be sacrificed!"

Hua Yuxian naturally knew what it meant not to cut the price together, but he hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Yuxian knows what to do!" ”

"Well, that's good."

Seeing that Hua Yuxian was so well-behaved, the Red Lotus Sect Leader couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Hua Yuxian is a disciple of the leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and is also his righteous daughter, and she has also been given the title of the Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus Sect.

However, although Hua Yuxian has a noble status in the Red Lotus Sect, in the final analysis, she is still just a pawn of the Red Lotus Sect leader. The Red Lotus Sect Leader understands this, and Hua Yuxian understands all of this even more.

Therefore, Hua Yuxian did not dare to have a trace of disobedience, because she was not the only disciple of the sect leader, and she was not the only saint.
