Chapter 42: The Dongyi Rebellion
In the blink of an eye, Gu Chen has been worshiped in the Huaxia Empire for more than a year, and in the past few months, the Wu family has not troubled Gu Chen, presumably the royal family secretly suppressed it, and Wu Fei also went to the border of the East China Sea to quell the war.
On this day, Xue Wu brought a letter from Luo Xueying and asked Gu Chen and the two to go to Juxian Tower, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
Luojia, Juxian Building.
"Ancient Dust Daoist, do you know about the war in the East China Sea?" Luo Xueying said
"I have heard that in the land outside the East China Sea, there is an island country that has risen in the past hundred years, it is composed of nearly a thousand islands and islands around, and it is said that I have long had ambitions for the land of Tianyu Donghua, and this invasion has many small countries have been annexed, and its power is also against the Chinese Empire on the east side of the Dawei River. Gu Chen replied.
"Yes, Dongyi Island is an island country formed by nearly a thousand small islands in the East China Sea, and it was also a dependent country that relied on my Chinese survival in the past, and it has been expanding in recent years, and has ruled the surrounding islands, and has begun to oppose the guest-oriented, and invaded the land of Donghua on me, in the first few years, it was a challenge to some small countries around China, but in recent years, it has become rampant, and it has even occupied some countries affiliated to China, then Wu Fei is guarding the overseas land, but he has been defeated and retreated, and has cut off contact with the imperial court. When Luo Xueying said this, she turned to Gu Chen, and said with a serious face:
"Gu Daoyou, my father is an official in the court, and when he returned yesterday, he said that the emperor had lost trust in the Wu family, and planned to organize a group of young talents in the imperial court to participate in the war, hone their training, and achieve the Great Dao, and I also decided to join it, but I don't know if you are interested?"
"Heaven and earth have changed greatly, the aura from north to south, from east to west began to be rich, the history books record that the Dongyi Island country thinks it is the Great Sun Empire on the day of the east's rise! Gu Chen hesitated a little when he said this, and then said:
"Miss Luo, my Gu Chen is willing to participate in the war with your Luo family, I think, this time Dongyi is in trouble, it must be prepared, the battle must be extremely fierce, I and other junior cultivators, maybe just to explore the way, the future war will definitely alarm the power of both sides, if we survive the hardships and dangers, we can stand out from it, and then we will be successful, I am afraid that we will catch up with many older generation figures!"
"Gu Daoyou and I think the same, I just happened to complete the Dao realm some time ago, and I was preparing for this Dongping Island Yi. Luo Xueying said.
"Brother Gu, I'm going too, I have the Qinglian Heart Fire Protector, I'm afraid that now my combat power is almost the same as yours, and I can help Sister Luo if I go!" Xue Wu said.
"Snow Dance ......" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, she watched the green fire on Xue Wu's body flashing, and she fought with it, not necessarily her opponent, so she nodded:
"Okay. "As a Dan Master, Xue Wu's role in the army is definitely greater than Gu Chen's, and Gu Chen really doesn't need her to refuse to participate in the war.
Sure enough, three days later, the imperial court issued a decree to let young talents and people with lofty ideals from all over the Shendu take the initiative to participate in the war and hone their ......
Seven days later, the army was mighty, more than 1,000 young talents, all of whom were quasi-Dao realm and Dao realm cultivators, and the imperial court was also equipped with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they went to the border of the East China Sea.
The army set off from the Shendu, from west to east, mighty and mighty, along the way the ancient dust to enjoy the distant scenery, places of interest and historic sites, sigh the long history of China.
In the past few months, Gu Chen has been reading all over the Chinese books, consulting the records of the Southern Wilderness, and he has found that a family legend circulated by the ancient family is actually true! In the years of war and chaos in China, after the famous saint king Gu Bigong of the Northern Dynasty died in battle, his descendants did not want to get involved in the court disputes, so he moved his clan to the south and took root in the southern wilderness, and thousands of years later, he became the ancient family of the current southern capital! This is just a legend, but Gu Chen found the answer from the historical records of China.
"Gu Daoyou, there is Daijun ahead...... Luo Xueying reminded.
"Well, when the time comes, the army will go first, and I will go to the ancient temple to worship......" Gu Chen replied.
To the west of Daijun, in the ancient Gong Temple, Luo Xueying led the way, and Gu Chen and Xue Wu came to the temple, which was a statue, with a beautiful beard and a long beard, and a green dragon sword in his hand, like a divine sculpture.
"Gu Daoyou, in the past, the ancient pen Gong was a hermit, did not want to be in turmoil in China, a hundred kings fought for hegemony, he stepped forward, the war for nine days and nine nights, in order to quell the war, and finally died of exhaustion, his descendants moved south with his death, away from the land of Donghua, do not want to get involved in the turmoil of the dispute, the descendants in order to worship the merits of the ancient prince, specially built this temple to worship, thousands of years, perhaps history has been forgotten, but the incense offering that has been passed down from generation to generation in the county has not been broken. Luo Xueying said.
"Legend has it that the stone statue of the saint will have the art of manifestation, you worship the ancient prince, and use the divine sense to channel the spirit, maybe you can resonate with it, I have never seen the power of the saint, but I don't know whether it is true or false. Xue Wu also said with all his thoughts on the side.
"I am the ancient dust of the southern capital, and I bow to the ancestor Gu Gong before coming to the temple" Gu Chen bowed, and the power of divine consciousness prayed.
After a while, the stone statue burst with light, sprinkled with bursts of brilliance, and an old voice came:
"The old man sealed a mouthful of true spirit, and after thousands of years of hard work, he finally waited for you! Child, I was a saint who had passed away, even if I had the magic power to reach the heavens, I had no way to return to heaven, and at the time of life and death, I had exhausted the heavenly opportunities, knowing that you would come in the future, and when my true spirit dissipated, I could still give you a chance!"
"This is the origin that the saint has transformed with his life! It can improve the qualifications of Dao Realm cultivators, improve the root bones, and after absorption, it will definitely be of great use when the Dao Realm is greatly reduced in the future!" Luo Xueying said.
Each of the three of them absorbed a part of the Sage's Origin, sealed it in his body, and waited for the Dao Realm to turn in the future.
"You must protect the land of China, and you will not allow foreign barbarians to destroy my ancient civilization, I will go!" After speaking, the brilliance of the stone statue dissipated, returned to peace, and disappeared spirituality.
The three of them bowed together to show their respect for the great sage of ancient times.
Finally, after half a month's journey, the army came to the edge of the Dawei River thousands of miles away.
"Look, there's the Dongyi army on the other side of the Dawei River!" some young cultivators pointed and said.
"The Dongyi dwarves actually attacked the great powers of my Celestial Empire, I don't think they want to live anymore!"
"Hmph, I, Qi Heng, will report to the main general tomorrow, go to call the battle, and find a decisive battle with Dongyi dwarf slaves!"
"Yes, I'll go too, I see that the outer island countries don't know the height of the sky, and there is no need to use great power at all, just the younger generation of me can drive them out of Donghua......
Gu Chen looked at these young people with awe-inspiring fighting spirit, they may not know the purpose of the imperial court, the world has changed greatly, the new era is coming, the younger generation must be tempered, only the battle of life and death, they can grow, in order to face the unpredictable changes in the future, among these young faces, I don't know how much to sacrifice in the upcoming battle?
The chief general of the army is a middle-aged man, Yang Rengui, a general of the imperial court, who has a deep relationship with the Luo family.
"Dongyi dwarves, can anyone dare to come out and fight me!" Qi Heng shouted on the Dawei River!
In the Dongyi army, there was also a young man who flew out, fought with Qi Heng on the river, and the supernatural power collided, and within a few rounds, the Dongyi youth was beheaded under the knife, and the army cheered for Qi Heng!
When Qi Heng won the first battle, he was greedy for merit, and continued to shout, completely forgetting that the main general had an order, and quickly retreated after the first battle.
"Gu Daoyou, what do you think of this Qi Heng standing strength?" Luo Xueying asked.
"This son has not yet been tempered on the battlefield, so greedy for merit. I'm afraid it will ......" Gu Chen didn't say any more, but he saw that Yang Rengui, the main general not far away, heard Gu Chen's words and replied:
"He disobeys military orders, and his death is inevitable, I will use his death to warn the three armies, the army is not a fight, and if you don't obey orders, your life will only be in danger!"
"Uncle Yang, why don't we go and save Qi Heng?" The Luo family has a deep relationship with Yang Rengui, so Luo Xueying and the main general are close, plus Gu Chen and the other Luo family have hundreds of people, with Luo Xueying as the main one, she has naturally become the leader of the army.
"No! Only the lesson of blood can make these noble young people who are pampered at home change sharply, do you think this battle is really so simple? When the big war begins, both sides will be able to take action, and we don't know who among us will survive and who will die! War is cruel, but it is also a tempering, and those of us who survive in the future will inevitably become the best in China!"
Sure enough, after a confrontation, Qi Heng was killed by the enemy general, and his body fell into the Dawei River and was taken away by the rolling river.
This night, many gods were sleepless, realizing the cruelty of war, and every time they went out to fight, they might die, because among the enemy army, there were also young masters with the same strength as them!
"Gu Chen, on the other side of the Wei River, in addition to being a foreign country attached to China, there are two other counties that have been occupied, and we must also cross the river and must be subdued. Luo Xueying said.
"Miss Luo, when will the army cross the river?" asked Gu Chen.
"I don't know, maybe ten days, maybe seven days, maybe three soon!" Luo Xueying replied.
The sky is slightly bright, and some people in the enemy army are the first to shout, this time it was Guo Ding who made our move, he was already belligerent, and the famous sword of Songyang spread throughout the entire Chinese Empire, so naturally he also wanted to participate in the battle of Dongping Island!
The names of the two sides were announced, and it was a duel.
As soon as the Songyang iron sword came out, no one looked at how he drew the sword, only to see a sword light flashing, the sword had already entered the body, and I saw that the enemy general's sword had not been chopped, and the head had fallen, rolling into the surging river, which really made the enemy frightened by this sword.
Guo Ding was not greedy for merit, and after a sword, he returned to the army.
"That's right, this Haocheng Guo Family's Songyang swordsmanship is really powerful!"
"Huh, Gu Daoyou, are you here too?" When Guo Ding saw Gu Chen, he also came over to say hello.
"Come to the army to hone and hone, Songyang's swordsmanship is really powerful, I hope to be able to fight side by side with Guo Daoyou when the time comes!" Gu Chen replied, he admired the Guo family's upright sword intent, and was naturally willing to make such a friend.
"The friends of the ancient road have cut ten ways, and they have become famous in the gods, and my little fight is naturally not enough to worry about, when the war starts, it is also a blessing for the little brother to be able to stand side by side with the ancient brother!"
