In Daxia Molan City, Mo Kun and Lu Mu are also paying attention to the movements of Yixiang City. Don't look at this as just an internal dispute in Great Xia, but for them, it is a rare opportunity.

In the Nanping camp, Mo Kun and Ying Shoushan were also talking about this matter. The relationship between the two is now more like that of a master and apprentice, and Mo Kun is also willing to teach experience to Ying Shoushan in order to become the pillar of Nanping as soon as possible.

"Shoushan, our intelligence system has been watching Great Xia for many years, and we are even more familiar with the people around that section of Lang. What do you think will happen to Shangguan Xuanwu once he dies in Yixiang City? Mo Kun asked as if a teacher was torturing a student.

"Teacher, Shoushan thinks that you and Lu Dudu will not fight with Duan Lang for the time being, except that the soldiers and horses are not enough to run in, you should just wait for this opportunity."

"Opportunity? What kind of opportunities? Mo Kun looked at Ying Shoushan calmly.

"Of course, after Duan Lang was furious, he led his troops back to kill Yixiang City. In that case, our coalition forces can take the opportunity to pursue and kill from behind, forming a two-sided attack. Ying Shoushan said confidently.

Mo Kun's face turned slightly cold, "Ridiculous, if Duan Lang and Na Tantai Mingyue only have this bit of the city, Lu Mu and I will not be forced to join forces to hide in Molan City." Guarding the mountain, a problem that even ordinary villagers can see, do you think it will happen again? ”

Ying Shoushan was stunned for a moment, bowed slightly and said, "Teacher, the student has also thought about this problem. But the students felt that Duan Lang had always used righteousness to envelop his subordinates and official friends. If something really happens in Yixiang City, if he Duan Lang doesn't do this, I'm afraid that the generals and soldiers in the army will be cold. Shangguan Xuanwu is not an ordinary person, and his status and popularity in Lidu City are not below Duan Lang. What's more, Duan Lang has always made moves that don't follow common sense, and the students feel that he should do it. Why, don't the teacher and Lu Dudu think so? ”

Mo Kun sighed and shook his head, of course he and Lu Mu didn't think that Zhang Ruming's death in Yixiang City would change the movement of Duan Lang's army.

"Shoushan, let me ask you, which is more important than the life of Shangguan Xuanwu compared to the army of the capital city of more than 100,000 Li?"

"This~ of course the latter is the most important."

"Now that you know, you should understand what the old man is referring to. The confrontation between the two armies is a matter of great importance, and it is like an arrow on the string that has to be fired. A small mistake can lead to the rout of the entire army, and even the country of Great Xia will not be protected. The old man and Lu Mu believed very much that with the shrewdness of Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue, they would never exchange the fate of the entire army for the price of impulse. Guarding the mountain, remember one thing, the art of war, the trick. That Duan Lang and Tantai Mingyue will not act according to what Lu Mu and I think, let alone according to what you think, otherwise they will fall into the inferior and be controlled by others. Mo Kun said bitterly.

"Teacher, since you and Lu Dudu feel that Duan Lang's army will not be moved, then why do you want to send elite men to take the risk of killing Shangguan Xuanwu, is it to mess with his mind? There is one thing that the students still don't know, that is, what will Duan Lang do? Please make it clear. Ying Shoushan asked sincerely with a bow.

Mo Kun's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he still patiently explained, "Shoushan, our Molan City is a battle of flesh and blood, but the Billion Elephant City is an invisible battlefield of wits and courage. The victory or loss of these two battles will affect the overall situation of the whole world. That Shangguan Xuanwu seems to be insignificant, but it is a very important chess piece. ”

"Is this chess piece ~ really so important?" Ying Shoushan looked up at Mo Kun.

"It's very important, once he dies in Yixiang City, whether Deguang wants it or not, he can only force him to turn against Duan Lang. What Lu Mu and I want is not for Duan Lang to withdraw his troops to kill Yixiang City, but for the Zhao family brothers to take the initiative to secretly ally with us. Shangguan Xuanwu died in Yixiang City, and Deguang couldn't shirk it, and he couldn't bow his head as the new emperor. Therefore, in order not to be destroyed by Duan Lang, they can only use our strength to destroy Duan Lang. In this way, Duan Lang's army became a lonely army, and even had to suffer from the enemy on his back. Guarding the mountain, this is the real importance of chess pieces. ”

Ying Shoushan kept nodding, it seemed that Mokun Lu Mu still had a long-term view, and he was just obsessed with the current interests. Ying Shoushan knew that Duan Lang had already established bases in various parts of Great Xia, and even if Molan City was defeated, it would be impossible for the entire army to be wiped out. When the time comes, Duan Lang will regroup his forces, and he will soon make a comeback. If you want to curb the resurgence of Duan Lang Dongshan, you can only start from within Great Xia. The Nadron brothers are the best candidates to contain. Compared with the invasion of foreign enemies, sometimes the internal selfish desires are more terrifying. It is even said that they will disregard the national righteousness and secretly collude in order to save their lives.

In Xiangxiang County, Mingyue and the generals are also worried about Zhang Ruming. However, Zhang Ruming's trip is a major task, and there is no substitute for anyone except him. If this weren't the case, Yutai Mingyue would not have dispatched the eighteen guards to protect it. You must know that once the war starts here, the combat effectiveness of the eighteen guards can be regarded as a surprise soldier. Tangtai Mingyue believes that under the protection of the Eighteen Guards and Azhu and others, Zhang Ruming should be able to survive the difficulties.

Compared with everyone, Duan Lang seemed relatively relaxed. Duan Lang told Tai Mingyue, don't look at Zhang Ruming's usual grin, in fact, this dead fat man is more afraid of death than anyone else, he knows how to protect himself. The two have been friends for so many years, and there is no one who knows Zhang Ruming better than Duan Lang. He knew that if there was any danger, the fat man could run faster than a dog.

In Yixiang City, this night valley Fan Xiangtian and the others were extremely cautious, taking turns to guard the surroundings. Zhang Ruming didn't seem to sleep much, and kept instructing the entourage of his relatives to go in and out, and Gu Fan Xiangtian didn't know what he was busy with.

At midnight, Deguang sent a palace official to urge Shangguan Xuanwu to go to the palace to meet the new emperor of Great Xia. Deguang has already set up a formation, and he wants to show Shangguan Xuanwu what royal majesty is.

Zhang Ruming's bedroom opened, and Zhang Ruming, who looked sleepy, walked out of the room. When the officials in the palace saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Shangguan Heavenly Master, the hour is not early, you should go and see Your Majesty."

Although this palace official did a lot of courtesy, his tone was full of urgency, and he did not seem respectful.

Zhang Ruming tilted his head and glanced at it, "Did this Heavenly Master say that he was going to see Deguang?" ”

The palace official's face changed slightly, and his waist straightened, "Lord Shangguan, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, please pay attention to your words." Didn't you come to Yixiang City to meet His Majesty? ”

Gu Fan stood on both sides of the sky, and when he heard the disrespectful tone of the palace official, the two of them said in their hearts that our fat brother was going to scold. Not to mention a palace person, even if the prime minister of the dynasty comes here, Zhang Ruming will not take it seriously.

Things were beyond Gu Fan's expectations, and he saw Zhang Ruming smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I really want to visit." Come on, please go to the side hall and sit for a while, and this heavenly master will change clothes. Don't go, I'll have you to lead the way." ”

After Zhang Ruming finished speaking, the entourage officer beside him walked up with his nostrils facing the sky, "Several, please." ”

Several palace officials didn't dare to be too wild in front of Zhang Ruming, their task was to invite people. When I heard that Zhang Ruming was going to change clothes, I still respected His Majesty.

The palace officials followed him to the side courtyard, and Gu Fan asked strangely, "Lord Shangguan, let's not go to the city to bless the people?" ”

"Who said no, what should we do, let those eunuchs wait. When Deguang asked, I said that these eunuchs didn't get the word on. Paralyzed, fight with me, Lao Tzu let him know what regret is not in the first place. ”

Gu Fan looked at each other to the sky, and said in his heart that when these few people met a master like Zhang Ruming, they could be regarded as eight lifetimes of blood mold. According to the laws of Great Xia, a few of them had to at least be beaten to the board.

Zhang Ruming returned to the house and began to change clothes, and Gu Fan Xiangtian was also busy arranging the travel staff. For Zhang Ruming's safety, everyone's position is very important when traveling. After a while, Zhang Ruming opened the door again and walked out. When the eighteen guards looked at it, they almost couldn't hold back their laughter. This is Shangguan Heavenly Master, it is simply a large vat covered with Heavenly Master's robe.

"Lord Shangguan, what are you?" Jin Rushi looked up and down, and said in his heart that it was like wearing a turtle shell.

Zhang Ruming patted his chest, "There are two layers of armor inside, and I almost didn't break Lao Tzu's Heavenly Master robe." Well, it's safe now. ”

When Gu Fan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I said, my lord, are you going to parade through the streets for others to see, or do you want to preach for the sky?" ”

"Nonsense, of course, it's preaching for heaven, but the safety of Lord Ben is also very important. As far as I'm dressed, in case of assassination, Lao Tzu shrank into his armor, and no one wanted to move a single hair of Lao Tzu. ”

Xiang Tian smiled and said, "Don't say it, this is a solution." ”

Xiang Tianxin said that this guy was busy all night, and it turned out that he had made a set of turtle shells for himself. It's ugly and even ridiculous, but it's safe. Two layers of armor, let alone knives and guns, even longbowmen may not be able to shoot through. As long as Zhang Ruming is not ashamed, they are willing to use this defensive means.

Zhang Ruming was put on the car of the Heavenly Master by everyone, and Gu Fan accompanied him to Tianyi left and right cars. Jin Rushi, Liu Xi and others stood in their respective positions, Zhang Ruming gave an order, and dozens of entourages escorted the car out of the post house.

As soon as Zhang Ruming's celestial master car appeared, it immediately attracted many onlookers. Turning the corner and going up the avenue, dozens of attendants sounded the gong to open the way, and rushed to the threshing floor in the city.

The crowd gathered more and more, and all kinds of eyeliners took action. Ah Zhu and the others were hidden in the crowd, and the shadows kept approaching the car to prevent someone from raiding. And the dozen or so practitioners brought by Azhu were arranged to be responsible for the response on the periphery.

Zhang Ruming stretched out his head and kept looking around, Gu Fan whispered, "My lord, don't worry. ”

"Cowardly, when did Lord Ben ever be afraid, I was looking for my family Azhu. Gu Fan, to be honest, isn't this outfit very powerful. ”

Gu Fan held back a smile and nodded, "Well, a little." ”

Xiang Tian quickly turned his face, he was afraid that he couldn't help but vomit. Zhang Ruming was complacent and began to wave his little fat hand to greet the people.

In the crowd, several parties were nervously looking for opportunities. But apart from shooting from a distance, they couldn't get close to the car. Moreover, the eighteen guards have long knives in their hands, and these people know that even if they rush over at the risk of death, I am afraid it will not help.

Zhang Ruming and his entourage soon came to the threshing floor in the city, and at this time there was already a sea of people around the car. Seeing this scene, Zhang Ruming waved his arms and signaled everyone to be quiet. After a while, the noisy voice decreased slightly, and Zhang Ruming gathered enough strength to shout.

"Sons of the gods, this Heavenly Master was born into the world in accordance with the will of Heaven and worked tirelessly to preach for all sentient beings. Why, the foreign invaders invaded the living creatures, and the gods were merciful to the people's suffering, and specially sent down the divine will to order the heavenly master to rescue the suffering. Citizens of the Elephant City, your hard days are coming to an end. A happy life is about to shine on your heads in the near future. But do you know what it takes to live a good life? ”

Zhang Ruming threw out a question, who doesn't want to live a good life among the simple people, and for a while everyone gradually quieted down and began to listen carefully to how to live a good life. Zhang Ruming immediately unfolded his three-inch incorruptible tongue and said that the current suffering was a divine punishment, which was the evil result of disrespecting the gods. Under the inducement of Zhang Ruming, coupled with the cooperation of many shadows, how dare the people in the city laugh at the Heavenly Master, and they were so frightened that they kept kneeling on the ground and praying.

What Zhang Ruming said here was wild, but it scared the patrol officials in the crowd a lot. Listening to Zhang Ruming's meaning, everything in the world is given by the gods, and even His Majesty must obey the arrangements of the gods. The patrol officer didn't dare to stop Zhang Ruming, so he quickly reported the matter.

In the palace, Deguang put on a full scene, waiting for Shangguan Xuanwu to come and see him. Knowing that Shangguan Xuanwu went to the threshing floor to preach that all the people in the world belonged to the gods, the angry Deguang immediately ordered Sun Gang to go and 'invite' people.

Deguang's face turned blue, and since the founding king of Great Xia, all places have allowed the establishment of prayer temples. But successive kings neither supported nor suppressed, and without the support of the court, the temple would not have developed and grown. It is precisely because the king fears that the divine power is greater than the imperial power that they are left to fend for themselves. But when he arrived at Emperor Yuning, he broke the stereotype and invited the Heavenly Master into the court, and only then did Shangguan Xuanwu appear as an alternative. It's good now, this guy is actually advocating theocratic theory under his nose, which touches Deguang's bottom line.

The crowd in the threshing floor was crowded, and Sun Gang didn't dare to use force, so he could only ask Zhang Ruming to follow him to the palace with an attitude of 'please'. Before leaving, Zhang Ruming shouted loudly.

"Subjects, do you see, even Deguang has to accept the teachings of this Heavenly Master. Before leaving, this Heavenly Master blesses you again, coaxing Nini Da~! ”

Hearing the incantation, the simple people became even more religious, as if the sunlight shining on them was the blessing of the gods and was removing their sins from them. Sun Gang's nose was about to be crooked, and if Deguang knew this, he would not behead you. But Sun Gang also understands that people do have the capital to be arrogant, that is, the fierce and brave army of Lidu City behind him. What gods are fake, hundreds of thousands of troops support him, this is the real capital.

As soon as Zhang Ruming left, Azhu signaled to everyone and secretly ordered to assemble at the inn. Azhu is also happy for her husband Zhang Ruming, and today's preaching was very successful. As long as Zhang Ruming can leave Yixiang City safely, Zhou Guangji's side will convey Mingyue's intentions to the local capitals. Zhang Guangzhi of Xiadu Mansion took the lead, officially announcing that he was obedient to the arrangement of the gods, and Zeliangmu chose the lord of the world.

Moreover, this matter can only be carried out by Zhang Ruming in Yixiang City, so that all the people in the world can think that the imperial power has bowed to the divine power. Unless Deguang dared to kill Shangguan Xuanwu, he could only argue with a hundred words. After all, filmmakers everywhere have dominated the trend of public opinion. If Zhang Ruming initiates a battle for divine power in other cities, it will not have this effect at all, but will allow Deguang to seize the handle of counterattack. It's just that whether you can pass the Deguang level depends on Zhang Ruming's rogue methods.

Back at the inn, Azhu immediately gathered everyone to start the discussion. This is also one of the tasks arranged by Mingyue, to see if there are any internal ghosts among them.

Ah Zhu looked at everyone and said calmly, "Everyone, if Lord Shangguan makes such a fuss today, Deguang will definitely be angry, and I am afraid that the guards on the side of the post house will be removed tonight." Therefore, everyone must secretly protect the safety of Lord Shangguan. I have already agreed with Gu Fan that the Tianzi No. 1 room in the post house will be pretended to be occupied by a stand-in, and Lord Shangguan will be staying in the back side courtyard. Therefore, the rear wall and the west wall are the focus of our protection. Now I'll assign it. ”

Ah Zhu quietly divided the dozen or so people recruited by Chengyang Mansion together, and the rest of the shadow people were all descendants that Ah Zhu absolutely trusted. Moreover, Azhu had already discussed with Xiang Tian and deliberately asked Zhang Ruming to ask for the removal of some of the guards. Once someone really attacks the side courtyard at the back of the post house tonight, it means that there are indeed ghosts among them.

Ah Zhu put down the bait and waited to take the bait, but at this time, Zhang Ruming was in the palace and fought with Deguang and others in turn.
