Chapter 144: Undercurrent of Potential
Mo Buyu led the army back to Huiji, although he was in charge of the government under the recommendation of Xuandong Ye Zheng, there were still some generals who had a lot of complaints. He was anxious to establish his prestige and take full control of the First Army Corps of East Vietnam. Mo Liu was nowhere to be found, only Bai Zan was following him, and Xiao Cheng was an outsider after all, and he served in the Ce Mansion as a guest secretary, and he couldn't help him much for a while. Mo Buyu can only be diligent in military affairs, going back and forth between the military camp and the government all day long, hoping to make achievements quickly to serve everyone.
In Jianye, after Xuan Dong entered the cabinet to take charge of the military department, the first thing he did was to reorganize the defense of Jianye City, and then began to summarize military reports from all over the country, deploy troops from all over the country in a timely manner, and arrange to deal with the rebellion of the Wang family. Ye Zheng's body gradually recovered, and he tried his best to help Xuan Dong share some affairs, and the two worked together to try to restore Dongyue and deal with the crises that might be faced next.
Since Emperor Wen stayed in the capital after Xuan Dong stayed, he no longer dared to make too many moves. But in the meantime, something happened. After Jin Huiqun's death, the Imperial History Mansion was raided, although Jin Muya was not implicated, but she was still driven out, she learned that Jin Huiqun died in the Ce Mansion, so she recorded this grudge on Xuan Dong and Mo Buyu. Mo Liu tried to find Jin Muya, but Jin Muya hated everyone in the countermeasure mansion very much, so she avoided Mo Liu, and finally simply hid. Mo Liu searched repeatedly, but he couldn't find his whereabouts, and became extremely lonely, he gradually became a little desperate, gave up on himself, and stayed in some restaurants in Jianye City all day long, regardless of the day, and drank unconscious. It didn't take long for the silver taels on his body to be spent, and finally, a restaurant owner was quite delicate, so he left him in the restaurant and became a bartender to attract customers. Just when Mo Liu was willing to fall, he discovered Tian Li, who had not appeared for a long time. After Tian Li was injured by Ye Zheng during the rebellion of the southern tribes, he has been recuperating from his injuries, and when he returned to Jianye after recovering from his injuries, he found that the siege of Jianye had been lifted, and the wind evil was also gone. He was ready to stop staying in Jianye and immediately leave the city to go to Wankou. Mo Liu took advantage of the chaos to keep up with Tian Li, but he didn't notice anything unusual. followed near the city gate and was about to leave, but Tian Li also found that someone was following, seized the opportunity, and shot at Mo Liu, who was drunk for more than a few days and was injured before he could resist for a moment, but he still tried his best to escape.
Tian Li didn't chase after him in order to avoid attracting too many people's attention. Just when he thought that his tail was swept away and he was about to leave the city, Ye Zheng suddenly appeared near the city gate. As soon as Tian Li saw Ye Zheng, he turned his head and wanted to escape. But then a group of sergeants suddenly burst out and surrounded them firmly. Before Tian Li could jump up and resist, the sergeants came out with a burst of swords and crossbows, forcing Tian Li into a corner, and after Ye Zheng followed closely with the bow and crossbow, it didn't take long to wound him, and ordered the sergeant to capture him and take him away. Tian Li was quite puzzled, except for Mo Liu, he had not noticed that there was anyone else following, and after he was taken into a dilapidated courtyard, Gu Xutang suddenly appeared in front of him.
After Mo Liu escaped, he didn't know that Tian Li was captured by Ye Zheng, he returned to the restaurant with his injury, the boss saw that he was injured, and complained a lot, but Mo Liu didn't pay attention to it, took a pot of wine, went to the firewood room, and drank it again alone. He remembered his previous brother, Mo Buyu should have been in Huiji, Dong Yun didn't know what the injury was, and Sun Lin's injury should be no big deal, and finally he thought of Jin Muya again, and he unconsciously left tears.
Jin Muya deliberately hid, she hated Cefu and Xuantong, but she was weak, and it was not easy to take revenge. I thought about assassinating Xuan Dong, but with my martial arts, I was afraid that he would be killed by the sergeants before he could get close. She pondered it repeatedly, but she couldn't think of any good way to get revenge. But for Mo Liu, she also misses it from time to time, every time Mo Liu's figure appears in her mind, she always repeatedly reminds herself that he is a person from Cefu and should not have anything to do with it.
After Tian Li was arrested, Gu Xutang interrogated him several times and used a lot of means, and finally pried his mouth open, but there was very little news. Xuan Tong and Ye Zheng repeatedly looked at the information sent by Gu Xujiao, among which there was a piece of news about the Tiger Knife and the "Qimen Dunjia Summary" that made the two of them think for a long time, and the old eunuch Li Xuanzi also knew about it, but according to Tian Li, this Li Xuanzi did not die in the fire, but escaped from Jianye. The Tiger Soul Knife, which can make Jiu Li pay so much attention, must be very involved, Xuan Dong immediately returned to Gu Xujiao, and asked him to go to the ruins of the Qintian Prison Mansion, and then investigate in detail.
Gu Xujiao investigated the ruins of the Jianzheng Mansion in detail, and he soon discovered the Secret Pavilion, but after searching for a long time, there have been no valuable clues to find. He thought of Han Jing who he had met with Liu Yanzheng before, and he didn't know where Han Jing was at the moment, this person had a lot of knowledge, if he could get along with him, he estimated that he should be able to discover more. After he left the ruins, he drew Han Jing's appearance from memory, and instructed his subordinates to pay attention in Jianye City, and report as soon as they found it.
Li Xuanzi took the "Summary of Qimen Dunjia" to Taijimen, and Han Jing, the master of the Dharma Gate who also paid attention to this book, had returned to Qinggu, because the Qidao people were still stranded in Qinggu to recuperate, so he didn't have much, locked himself in the Famen, flipped through a large number of ancient books, and also found some strange things. Xuan Qingzi was originally the leader of the righteous path of Xuanmen in the south, although he did not see any connection with Qinggu on the surface, but Qinggu has a miscellaneous record that Xuan Qingzi had a trip to Qinggu after the battle with Jiuli, and had an in-depth discussion with the four masters of Qimen, Wumen, Famen, and Medicine, which lasted for three months, and then returned to Dongyue, and within a few years, Xuanqingzi died of illness. This point in time caught Han Jing's attention. He thought that Xuan Qingzi's visit to Qinggu was probably related to the annotations in the book "Summary of Qimen Dunjia", and he decided to go out of the valley again to find the whereabouts of "Summary of Qimen Dunjia".
The injuries on the Qidao people have gradually healed, and he decided to leave and return to Sanqingguan with Xiang Xian, but after getting along with Ye Weiwei for many days, he was a little reluctant. And Ye Weiwei seems to have someone else in her heart, and she is extremely polite to her, but she does not have any feelings at all. Just after Han Jing returned, Qidao and Xiang Xian did not stay any longer, leaving Qinggu and returning to the Southern Chu Sanqingguan.
Southern Chu, Chengdu, after Emperor Ming withdrew to Xiang's army, he was not satisfied with this dispatch of troops. Xiong Zhen told Emperor Ming that the Yiling Guandong Yue Fire Legion was quite tenacious, and the two engines won and lost each other, and after learning that the siege of Jianye City was pacified by the Cefu, Xiang Hengyu decided to withdraw after thinking twice. Therefore, in this battle, General Xiang did not make any mistakes or deliberately avoided the battle. After hearing this, Emperor Ming was still a little displeased, and wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in East Vietnam to profit from it, but he didn't expect that the Cefu would sweep away the army outside Jianye City in a very short period of time, and this result could only be reluctantly accepted.
After Mu Chen's Agni Army withdrew, he quickly regained the surrounding territories and stepped up the construction of fortifications. The war was suspended, but he did not relax in the slightest. This battle was quite strange, Xiang Jiajun said that he would retreat, and the Sanshan Army led by Lu Zhenshan had been standing still, which made him incomprehensible. Now that Xuan Dong has entered the cabinet, with his means, he should soon make arrangements for the military situation in various places, and he waits quietly.
The Lianyunshan battalion sent by Lu Zhenshan quickly sent people to ask for a meeting after Wang Pingyao, Cui Ji, and Pan Lingqian returned to Yuzhang County. After Cui Ji saw Ding Yan, the commander of Lianyun Mountain's battalion, he learned that he was Cao Ji's deputy general, and this time he would secretly help the Wang family expand his power, and when the time was ripe, Lu Zhenshan would also personally lead the army to come. This surprised Wang Pingyao and Cui Ji, but Pan Lingqian had a lot of concerns, once the Wang family had the support of the East Vietnamese elite corps, the Sanshan Army, then soon his own power would be weakened, which was really not good news for him. But Wang Pingyao and Cui Ji obviously would not give up such a powerful help, and Pan Lingqian then slowed down the pace of expansion into the periphery. This also made Cui Ji and Wang Pingyao even more dissatisfied with them, and the contradictions between the two sides were about to erupt.
After the wind evil and Jiaosheng and the remaining nine slaves fled from Xuancheng, they went all the way to Wankou, and Jiaosheng was a little wooden on the way, and Zhang Kai's figure kept appearing in his mind. At that time, Zhang Kai came over, and he involuntarily spit out the word "Ah Kai", but in addition to this name, he couldn't remember Zhang Kai's other memories at all. Zhang Kai called him "bean bag." He had a vague impression of this nickname, probably when he was very young, he vaguely remembered that his mother called him that, but sadly, he couldn't even remember what his mother looked like. After thinking about it for a while, his brain tingled, so he didn't think too much about it, and followed behind the wind evil, running all the way. Feng Xie observed the strangeness of Jiaosheng, he secretly kept an eye on it, he had heard some of Jiaosheng's life experience, but he hoped that nothing would go wrong.
Northern Qin, the Great Wall Army, Meng Ji silently wiped his Mo knife, this knife was stained with the blood of countless enemy generals and masters of the rivers and lakes, recalling the past in his mind, a little gloomy and a little helpless. He thought of Zhang Kai, this kid has been following him for a long time, this time he and Wei Wuyan went to the east to Yue, I don't know what the current situation is, but with Wei Wuyan here, presumably this will not be a big deal, so he should experience it, but at the same time he remembered the young man he received together, Doubao, after the war with the desert barbarians, this young man disappeared. He sent people out to look for it a few times, and at that time there was a Jiuli clan nearby, but this young man was nowhere to be found, and he once thought that the bean bag was taken away by Jiuli, and the Jiuli clan was very xenophobic, and it is estimated that it has been plundered for many years, and I am afraid that it is no longer in the world at this moment. Doubao's martial arts talent back then was still above Zhang Gong, he sighed, put the Mo knife back into the scabbard, walked out of the camp, and saw a piece of snow, a little distracted.
Northern Qin Sword Sect, Luo Kun, he led several of his disciples to Hangu Pass in accordance with the previous agreement with Wei Wuyan and Meng Ji, and went to Hangu Pass, the purpose of his trip was to find out the traces of the Jiuli clan in the Northern Qin area, since Jiuli traveled thousands of miles to Dongyue to provoke so many incidents, then the nearest Northern Qin side of their clan will inevitably have some deployment, he must find some clues as soon as possible, to avoid being caught off guard like the battle twenty years ago.
