Chapter 59: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
Baoding, as the temporary capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty today, with the arrival of the emperor and a cadre of ministers, but also to this city has brought prosperity that it has never had before, regardless of how unbearable the ruling class of the Great Yuan Dynasty is in the folk image, but as long as it has not perished, there will always be a certain centripetal force formed in the people, as the national capital, people often think of prosperity and stability, even if there is a precedent of slaughtering the city in the past, but in this gradually chaotic world, the capital of a dynasty will always attract many people who yearn for prosperity and stability.
It's just that at this moment, this city, which is about to become the new capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty, is shrouded in an invisible haze, an indescribable dullness, and the people in the city seem to feel this unspeakable dullness, most of them stay quietly at home, even the most prosperous streets in the city in the past, at this moment there are few people, and on the cold streets, you can even see a lot of birds and birds jumping on the bluestone ground to forage.
If you can't see the smoke from house to house, you will think that this is a dead city.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded at the end of the street, and the birds and finches foraging on the street felt the ground tremble, and they were suddenly startled and scattered in all directions.
A team of dusty knights galloped through the cold streets, led by Wang Baobao, who was supposed to put down the rebellion in Shandong
"Sister, there's something wrong with the atmosphere in this Dingdu?" Wang Bao Bao galloped on horseback, but his eyes showed a rare solemnity, even he, a pure military man, can feel the difference in Baoding City at this moment, Dingdu is the emperor for Baoding to obtain a new name, since the intention of this as the royal capital, the title of Baoding is obviously no longer appropriate.
"Hmm." Hearing his brother's inquiry, Zhao Min's eyes were a little clear, and he nodded when he heard the words, his eyes swept around, but he didn't say anything more.
Li Xuan released himself as promised, but there was not much joy in his heart, even at this moment, Zhao Min couldn't forget the words that he said to himself in the sunset, Shandong Matou, the man with a casual and confident expression: "In less than March, I will come in person, I hope that when the time comes, the county lord will not break his word!" ”
That casual and confident demeanor made Zhao Min hate itchy, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance in his heart.
These days, she has thought about it in her heart, if she is him, what should she do, so that she can be so confident that she can have enough defense, and under the protection of the entire Great Yuan Dynasty, she will not rely on that strong force to capture herself again?
The result was naturally incomprehensible, but it made Zhao Min have countless sets of plans to enhance self-protection in her heart, but what happened next made her have no time to think about these anymore.
The emperor's edict made Wang Baobao, who was about to suppress the righteous army, have to give up the fruits of victory in front of him, quickly retreat to Hebei, and return to Dingdu day and night.
The edict is a little unreasonable, but the two of them dare not have the slightest slackness, the emperor is sometimes a little confused and mediocre, but Zhao Min can sense a trace of unspeakable urgency and anxiety from the words of the edict, obviously, there must be something big happening.
Thinking about it, a group of people have rushed into the inner city like a whirlwind, arrived outside the palace, the palace was built on the original school field, there is no luxury accumulated by the Dadu Palace for a hundred years, but there is a golden atmosphere that the palace did not have in the past, after the night of rebellion, the emperor subconsciously took defense as the first consideration when choosing the address of the palace, and only then did he rebuild a school field into a palace.
"Stop! Who are you!? Why trespass on the palace? On the palace wall, a large number of guards suddenly appeared, and a strong bow and crossbow were aimed at the group of people and horses.
"Bastard, I'm Timur, I'm ......" Wang Baobao's already somewhat irritable feelings were immediately blown up, and he was about to be angry, but he was pulled by Zhao Min beside him.
"Big brother, the situation is not right, retreat first!" Zhao Min looked at the dense soldiers at the head of the city with a solemn face, even in order to strengthen the guards of the imperial city, there were too many of these soldiers, and from the eyes of these soldiers, Zhao Min was not on the guard that the guards of the imperial city should have, but an undisguised murderous intention!
"Boom~"
At this moment, a thunderous sound sounded, the ground suddenly trembled violently, Zhao Min and Wang Baobao's faces changed at the same time, as a nation on horseback, and a general who led the troops all year round, the two of them naturally distinguished what kind of sound this was, it was clearly the sound of a large number of cavalry running.
This is the future capital, and someone dares to be so presumptuous and dispatch a large number of cavalry here, which is worse than the two imagined.
It was impossible to retreat with all his body, all the roads around him were surrounded, but in front of him was a heavily defended imperial city, and the group fell into a Jedi at this moment.
"Prepare for war!" Wang Baobao's face became cold and handsome, at this moment, he showed the majesty of the Mongolian man, even in the face of an enemy a hundred times his own, he did not have the slightest timidity, slowly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and looked coldly at the oncoming thousands of troops.
Sichuan, Jiading Province.
It took more than half a year, almost half of the Central Plains, and now he is revisiting his hometown, but his mentality is completely different from when he first came to this plane, the seeds planted are about to bloom under the urging of his own more than half a year, and the seeds of civil strife in Mongolia have also borne fruit under his own promotion, and the next thing is not what he should worry about, although he enjoys the process, but after half a year of hard work, he still can't help but feel a sense of relaxation.
"Sect Master, if the general trend has gradually become clear today, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty will inevitably be greatly injured after this battle, it is the opportunity for our generation to show their strengths, why doesn't the Sect Leader sit in the Central Plains?" Yang Xiao followed Li Xuan's side and asked a little inexplicably, not only Yang Xiao had this thought, but almost all the members of the Ming Sect had the same doubts.
Although Guangming Ding is the main altar of the Ming Sect, but in terms of location, it is too remote and not suitable for taking charge of the overall situation, Li Xuan's series of actions completely shook the foundation of Mongolia, but he suddenly gave up at the most critical time, and even Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao, who had been in control of the overall situation before, were recalled, leaving only Li Xuan's four family generals on the front line, which was not to prepare for the hegemony of the world, but like to hone the four people, this practice really made the disciples who followed Li Xuan confused.
"The defeat of Mongolia has been decided, it doesn't matter whether I stay in the Central Plains or not, I have been running around for most of the year, I am also tired, it is time to rest and do what I want to do." In response to everyone's puzzled gazes, Li Xuan said with a sneer, most of the time he could stay in this plane had passed, and there were only a few months left, and there was no problem at all in expelling the Tartars, but it was a little unrealistic to say that he would be able to rule the world.
"This ......" The masters of the Ming Sect looked at each other, relatively speechless, it was true to say so, but after the expulsion of the Tartars, it was the real highlight, such a simple truth, they didn't believe that this wise sect leader would not understand.
"After January, I will announce my abdication, give up the position of the head of the Ming Sect and the great transfer of the mind of the Qiankun, and choose another merit in the Ming Sect to take charge of the Ming Sect, if you are interested in this world, you can leave by yourself, Li Xuan will never stay in the south, of course, if you are willing to stay by Li's side, Li Xuan is also welcome." Li Xuan smiled and released a bombshell to everyone again, leaving the Mingjiao masters stunned.
"Yang also has the heart to go into hiding, if the sect leader does not give up, Yang Xiao is willing to follow the sect leader." After being silent for a long time, Yang Xiao took a slow breath and met Li Xuan's gaze with a determined look.
"Yang Zuo, how can you ...... even you" Zhou Dian and the others looked at Yang Xiao in surprise, and said incredibly, if Li Xuan really abdicated, now in the Ming Sect, in terms of seniority and prestige, I am afraid that Yang Xiao will be left, as soon as this remark comes out, it is undoubtedly cut off the possibility of replacing Li Xuan as the leader of the Ming Sect in the future.
"My Mingjiao is determined to drive out the Tartars, and now that the Tartars are about to be destroyed, there is no point in the existence of the Mingjiao, as for joining the princes......" Yang Xiao glanced at Li Xuan, and then said proudly: "In addition to the sect leader, who else in this world is qualified to support me Yang Xiao?" ”
Everyone couldn't help but hesitate when they heard this, although they were reluctant in their hearts, they had to admit that the princes who have risen everywhere in the Central Plains are almost all figures at the level of the Ming Church Lord and the helmsman in terms of seniority, and they are not worthy of lifting shoes for Yang Xiao, no matter how they use martial arts methods, how to compare with Li Xuan, let alone impress the arrogant Yang Xiao.
"In the past, the two immortals were inseparable, since the eldest brother is determined to continue to follow the sect leader, if the sect leader does not give up, count me Fan Yao." Fan Yao stood beside Yang Xiao and said with a smile.
"Wei Yixiao's fate is saved by the sect leader, and the Ming Sect is now worry-free, and it's time to make room for young people." Wei Yixiao walked behind Li Xuan and said with a smile.
"Okay, then bother the Bat King to run for me again, spread the news to the six major factions, and after a month, Li Xuan will step down as the leader of the Ming Sect and wait for the leaders of the factions!" Li Xuan nodded and said with a smile.
Dai Qisi silently took Xiao Zhao to Li Xuan's back, and her misty eyes flashed with a strange light.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, Li has no intention of forcing it, but after stepping down from the position of sect leader, I am afraid it will be difficult to distance ourselves again." Looking at the hesitant appearance of the Wusanren, Li Xuan smiled.
"Even so, now you are still the leader of the Ming Sect, as long as you reign for one day, Xie Xun will respect you." Xie Xun nodded, among all the people, he and Dai Qisi had the shortest contact time with Li Xuan, although he admired Li Xuan's martial arts methods, not to mention that he had his own obsessions and worries about this world, it was impossible to be as free and easy as Yang Xiao and them.
"Sect Master, where are we going now?" Zhou Dian nodded, agreeing with Xie Xun's statement, and diverted the topic.
"Accompany me on a trip to Emei, I kidnapped the most proud disciple of the family, I have to say it." Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Zhiruo with a smile, and said aloud in Zhou Zhiruo's shy gaze.
