"My story, I think no one will be interested, probably because in the years I lived, I have been doing my best for the emperor, either on the way to the border of Yi'an, or fighting with those civil officials and lords in the court, which is really not interesting." Uncle Zong said with a sigh.

"Only at the beginning as the emperor's retainer, and in the years when I was about to die, did I have the opportunity to live with His Majesty the Emperor carefree for a few years, which is generally called a delicious life, but unfortunately it backfires, often the things I don't care about will become something that others trumpet, and what I really care about is not cared for, which may be the true meaning of life."

Zhang Zongchang lifted the bowl and drank it again.

"So that's why you're willing to be a subordinate in Zhang's Mansion all the time?" Qi Zhen asked.

Zhang Zongchang nodded and said softly: "You know that although the Zhang family master and the first emperor are very far apart, their personalities are very similar. As a very competitive emperor, the relationship between me and the former emperor was always a teacher and a friend, and we always admonished each other, so although he was a servant of the Lord and me, they complemented each other and enjoyed each other, which was also a beautiful conversation in the dynasty. ”

"But the Central Plains is safe, after the bandits are gone, the emperor began to become a little reckless, and it is difficult to listen to the direct advice of the ministers, so there are many fewer words between the monarch and the ministers."

"It's one thing to build a lot of construction internally, and your majesty always thinks about coming from all directions, and the whole world is not the king's land, so there are some problems."

"Just a few places in Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou, have not been educated by the etiquette of the Central Plains, the language is difficult to understand, and Miao Xinjiang is mountainous and dense, the terrain is complex, not to mention, the Miao people live here all the year round, and they are even more brave and abnormal, so it is naturally more difficult to conquer this place by force."

"It's a pity that Your Majesty didn't listen to the dissuasion, and insisted on being a Taoist monarch who has been famous for thousands of years, so I can only be ordered to lead the army to conquer."

"In this way, the Miao people mentioned by Miaozhu are just the imperial court's attempt to attract incense to show your prestige, Lord Zhang?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Not exactly." Zhang Zongchang shook his head, "The Miao people are in a safe corner, and they seem to have an indisputable temperament, but in fact, their inner ambitions are not small, but they are just unknown. And what I want to do is to provoke the hatred of the Miao people against the Central Plains, so that the troops can be famous. ”

"You must know that whether the dispatch of troops is justified or not, whether it is the guidance of the people's will or the improvement of morale, has a very important impact."

Qi Zhen nodded.

This is somewhat like the several wars launched by the United States in the Middle East in the real world, nominally to fight terrorism, or even for the peace and prosperity of third world countries, but as a result, a war has been fought for several years or even more than ten years, whether it is to prop up a puppet government or assassinate the leader of the other side, and in the end, the resource exploitation is busy, and even a lot of money is made, but the country is full of devastation and mourning.

"But later, because the geographical situation of Miao Jiang is very complicated, and the Miao people are brave and good at fighting, and they are extremely united with the outside world, we successfully provoked the Miao people's hatred for the Central Plains, but we were unable to conquer the other party at all."

"At the beginning, I was attacked by the opponent's strong counterattack, and until I finally retreated, it was only a few decades."

"We had to start defending the city and relying on the geographical location to deal with those Miao people."

"The Miao people were not good at attacking cities, so the war was deadlocked."

"The treasury of the war was empty, and the whole country gradually rose up and down, and His Majesty the Emperor finally stopped being stubborn and decided to embark on a risky decapitation operation. And I am the one who led the decapitation operation. “

Qi Zhen suddenly said: "This is the reason why Miao Zhu said that you led a battalion of soldiers and horses to fight with the Miao people for several months, right?" ”

Zhang Zongchang nodded: "That's right, at that time, I was ready to return to my hometown again, there was no food and grass supply, and there was no camp to live in, this lone army that went deep into the mountains for thousands of miles was the only hope to avoid the repeated attacks of the Miao people and drag down the entire imperial court." ”

"Luckily, we made it."

Although Zhang Zongchang did not elaborate, Qi Zhen can still imagine that at that time, he led a battalion of soldiers and horses into the mountains and forests alone, like a group of homeless lonely ghosts, looking for the enemy leader and completing the hardships and indomitable courage to kill with one blow.

"Then we started on the run, and eventually we escaped."

"However, most of the few people who survived were also hit by the poisonous miasma in the forest, and even the comrades who were lucky not to be poisoned were never poisoned again, and it was difficult to lift the knife in their hands to kill the enemy."

"But it was all worth it, and since then, the Miao have not launched any large-scale attacks on the Central Plains. This may be inextricably linked to the death of the Miao chief. ”

"At that time, I was indeed poisoned, but I did not die on the frontier, but received a secret edict from His Majesty and returned to the court."

"I don't know if I was seriously injured and dying, time is running out, or if the military power is on the sidelines, in short, His Majesty has been extremely lenient to me in those years, which makes me a little flattered,"

"Then I died, came back to life, and became the city god of Wuhu City."

Zhang Zongchang seems to be only full of memories of the events of his previous life, but he is reluctant to mention more about his experience after becoming a city god.

"Well, I'll admit it's a good story, but what exactly are you doing what you're doing now?" Qi Zhen asked puzzled.

It stands to reason that a pillar of the country who is loyal to the country and forgets to die has no way to connect with what he is doing now with regard to people's lives.

"People can probably only know the preciousness of life after losing their lives, and this is not exempt from the vulgar even if they are afraid of immortals."

Zhang Zongchang raised his old and wrinkled right hand, trembling slightly at this time.

"A city god like me, even if he has immortal qi to protect his body, to put it bluntly, he is still a genus of ghosts, although he has a longer lifespan, he only has a one-term life."

"The imperial court is entitled, and a city god has a hundred years of life, and my term of office has expired, and the deadline is approaching."

"If it was a hundred years ago, I would have died with all my might, but people are not as good as heaven, I was incognito during this period, trying to live an ordinary life, but I met the old man's family."

"I searched all over the place, and finally found a way to continue my life, I think you have already guessed, yes, it is the way to absorb the power of ghosts to replenish your own yin qi."

Zhang Zongchang sighed, his words were full of reluctance to live now, and his helplessness in hurting the heavens and harming the yin.

"You told us so clearly, aren't you afraid that we will inform Shushan about this matter and invite those immortal masters with strong Taoism to come here to kill demons and evils?" Qi Zhen asked.

Zhang Zongchang smiled and shook his head: "Since you can come here, it means that you and I are the only ones who can get out of this wine cellar today, so why bother to test with such useless words?" ”

He continued: "What's more, there is no one to talk about these things, but I want to thank you for listening to my nonsense for a long time. ”

Qi Zhen drank all the wine in the bowl and said: "Okay, it's almost time to talk about it, and we know what we should know, if it weren't for the death of our companion because of this, we could have turned a blind eye to this matter, and we can be considered a human beauty, but now, ...... I'm sorry. ”

Qi Zhen stood up, and her eyes turned into the eyes of the blood wheel.

Li Qiang pulled out his signature weapon, the M249.

The magical energy around Jiang Yan's body began to fluctuate violently, and the candle flames nearby began to flicker incessantly.

And Li San has already disappeared silently.

"As for your companion's affairs, although it is a little late, I want to say that his death was not intentional on my part."

Zhang Zongchang drank the wine in the bowl, stood up and said.

He looked at the five people who were like a great enemy, closed his eyes, and the momentum on his body began to rise gradually, and all the candles in the huge wine cellar began to tremble violently.

Feeling this coercion and suffocation that was much stronger than that Miao Zhu, Qi Zhen's heart sank, and he said: "Because Yin virtue is damaged, I understand, but I don't understand it now, aren't you afraid of this matter now?" ”

"I'm still afraid, but as long as I restrain you and don't stop me from completing the next plan, then I won't be afraid anymore." Zhang Zongchang did not open his eyes and explained.

Whether it is the outspokenness of the team or the strong coercion that gradually emanates from him, it represents Zhang Zongchang's absolute confidence in his own strength.

With the strength they showed in the battle of Guz, they couldn't break their golden body at all, let alone prevent themselves from completing the next series of actions?

Not to mention that this is Wuhu, which is your home turf!

His body was gradually covered with a layer of glass-colored brilliance, which was no different from the light on Miaozhu's body after absorbing the immortal qi.

Zhang Zongchang was originally a ghost immortal, and the aura exuded from his body at this time gave people a very strange feeling.

Due to the absorption of the ghost power on Lin Xi's body, probably because the immortal qi and the ghost power could not be kept relatively balanced, this strange feeling became more obvious as the momentum on his body gradually became stronger.

This is the biggest difference between Zhang Zongchang and Miao Zhu, the glazed brilliance on his body has a very thick layer of gray!

Qi Zhen felt the aura emanating from the other party's body, and her expression became more solemn.

Finally, the aura on Zhang Zongchang's body stopped surging violently, his eyes suddenly opened, and his black pupils suddenly dilated, occupying the entire eye socket, as if they had been invaded by some evil substance.

"In that case, we want to give it a try!" Qi Zhen felt the aura exuded by the other party, and her fighting spirit rose, and she said happily.

"Captain, can you fight?" Qi Zhen asked Li Qiang with spiritual communication.

The answer to him was the gunfire pouring from the M249!

What this means is that you only know until you fight!
