Chapter 987: The True Identity of the White Lotus Holy Maiden
When he arrived in Tianshui County, Wang Xu chose to stay put.
Now that the new army has just been formed and has just been trained for more than three months, it is said that it is worthy of a war, but it is only worthy of a war, and there will be no more.
The elite of the White Lotus Sect is different, it is a real elite division, even if it has suffered the failure of the uprising and the death of the sect leader in battle, and has been frustrated, but it is not comparable to the new army.
Therefore, although there is a numerical advantage, if you really fight, you may not be able to please it.
Wang Xu is not afraid, but he doesn't want to work hard to train the new army, and he doesn't know why it's lost here.
After all, looking at the attitude of the White Lotus Sect, it is intended to be Zhao'an, and this battle may not be fought.
At night, the flags in the camp of the new army were unfurled, and the campfire was soaring into the sky, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, like a crouching tiger in the dark.
Wang Xu sat in the military tent, looked at Sun Tzu's Art of War, and read it intently.
Woo woo...
A cold wind blew, and the curtain of the tent was opened, and it blew into the big tent.
When the wind blows, the candlestick swayed, and the reflection reflected in the lamplight was inevitably blurred.
"What, you want to play with Candlelight Axe?"
Wang Xu put down the book and looked at the tent with a light smile on his face.
After a few seconds, the wind subsided, and no one came out, as if everything was an illusion.
Wang Xu didn't think so, and said again: "Uninvited is a villain, you don't think that I, the commander of the Chinese army, a new Confucian, don't even know if anyone has entered my camp, right?" ”
Sou!!
Out of thin air, a girl dressed in white and wearing a mask appeared in front of Wang Xu.
Seeing this girl, Wang Xu nodded slightly: "This afternoon, someone told me that there seems to be a big man hidden behind the Lord of the Difficult Scriptures, and I was thinking about who that person is."
You must know that the Master of the Nantuo Sutra is the personal disciple of the White Lotus Sect Master, and his status is extraordinary, and the Dharma King may not be able to suppress him, and now that the White Lotus Sect Master is dead, who else in the White Lotus Sect can let him obey orders.
After thinking about it, I thought of you, and only you, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, the number two person in the sect, can command the Lord of the Scriptures, right? ”
The girl didn't speak, just looked at Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked at her eyes, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and whispered, "Who are you?" ”
The girl looked at him with a complicated look, and after a moment, took off the mask on her face.
In his eyes, Wang Xu's eyes shrank slightly, and he sighed: "It's unimaginable!" ”
Under the mask, there is a face that seems to be angry and happy, it is an acquaintance of Wang Xu... Zhang Xiaomei.
Wang Xu never thought that this person would be Zhang Xiaomei, no, he thought about it, but he quickly denied it.
How could Zhang Xiaomei be the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, she is the best lady of the Zhang family, and Wang Xu has been with her for many days, and she has not seen Zhang Xiaomei cultivated.
"Surprised, huh?"
Zhang Xiaomei took off her mask, looked at him with a complicated expression, bit her lip and said: "Actually, I was also surprised, I never thought that my birth would be predestined a long time ago, I was born with a mission." ”
"You and the White Lotus Sect Master..."Wang Xu wanted to speak and stopped.
"He is my father, I died three thousand years ago, but I have no true spirit at all, and I have always been immersed in reincarnation.
It just so happened that Buddhism replaced heaven with man and took over the six realms of reincarnation, which gave me the opportunity to get out of the sea of suffering.
I really have a lower soul and was reincarnated in Zhang's mansion, so I became Zhang Xiaomei.
Because I was afraid that Buddhism would find out, I sealed my past life, grew up like an ordinary person, waited for the day when I returned to the truth, and met you in the red dust.
Speaking of which, I also want to thank you, if it weren't for the pressure you put on me, I wouldn't have gone to the temple to pray to the gods, and the true spirit returned to its place by chance.
By the way, thank you for keeping your hand that day, I like that righteous song very much. ”
Zhang Xiaomei, who took off the mask, is quite different from Zhang Xiaomei in Wang Xu's memory.
In his memory, Zhang Xiaomei is ghostly, cynical, a bit like Huang Rong who has just entered the rivers and lakes, smart, capable, daring, and does not lack the innocence, willfulness, and some petty temperament.
And now, the naughty girl with innocence is gone, and Huang Rong has also changed from when she first entered the rivers and lakes to Mrs. Guo when she was guarding Xiangyang, losing her previous ghostly and eccentric temperament, not being cynical, as if she has grown up, mature, and intellectual, but it makes people feel regretful.
This is also how it should be, the White Lotus Sect was exterminated, a large number of sect members were killed, and even the White Lotus Sect Leader was killed in battle, Zhang Xiaomei's mood was probably very heavy.
Wang Xu's heart was full of complexity, the moment he saw Zhang Xiaomei, he knew that the girl who loved him and wanted to marry him was no longer there.
Perhaps, the current Zhang Xiaomei still likes him, but she has something more important in her heart, and Wang Xu is no longer the first.
"In this door last year, the peach blossoms on the human face are red, the human face is not where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaomei had matured, Wang Xu was half lost and half relaxed, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good..."
Wang Xu once said that it is impossible for him to have a relationship with Zhang Xiaomei, this is a relationship that is destined to have no results.
He is not a bulldozer, and Zhang Xiaomei is not a meat bottle, so the ending can be regarded as a kind of satisfaction.
"What's going on with your strength, when we first met, you were still an ordinary person, and the last time you saw you, you had quasi-sixth-order strength, and now you have entered the sixth-order, and I don't dare to admit the big changes."
Facing Wang Xu's question, Zhang Xiaomei replied: "My situation is a little different, before the fall, I had a premonition that I would be robbed, so I left some back-ups. After the return of the true spirit, I retrieved my mana and supernatural powers, so you should treat my exercises as more special. ”
Zhang Xiaomei replied vaguely, and after a change of voice, she said: "My Grand Governor, now you are a knife and I am a fish, and you haven't said what to do with me?" ”
"This..."
Wang Xu was difficult at first, and then saw Zhang Xiaomei with a playful face, and couldn't help asking: "Did you calculate all this?" ”
The White Lotus Sect, whose main force was annihilated and its followers had been dispersed, suddenly gathered tens of thousands of believers, and when the Jiangnan camp had just been withdrawn, it occupied Tianshui County, which was next to Ishikawa Prefecture, and led him to lead his troops to suppress it in person.
In addition, the mastermind behind all this is Zhang Xiaomei, who has nothing to do with him, Wang Xu has reason to suspect that he is the one who fishes.
"What do you say?"
Zhang Xiaomei did not admit it, nor did she object, but changed her color and said: "Back then, I don't blame you for ruining the Holy Sect's plan in Yangzhou, because the matter was revealed, if you don't come, the six princes will come, and failure is a natural thing." But do you think these White Lotus believers really deserve to die? ”
"Damn it?"
Wang Xu shook his head slightly, some things were inexplicable.
Land annexation in various places is serious, the people have no land to plant, and the gentry class has blocked the upward passage, even if there is no White Lotus Sect, there is also a Black Lotus Sect, if these people are well fed and can afford to wear new clothes, how can they rebel.
Therefore, Wang Xu doesn't think it's wrong to rebel, and some just become kings and lose.
In the final analysis, it is still the will of heaven, and Wu should not be cut off, even if there have been two catastrophes in ten years, the foundation of the imperial court is still there, and there is no way to live for the rebels.
The White Lotus Sect became a victim of the king's precursor, just like the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and finally cheapened Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
Otherwise, let the White Lotus Sect occupy the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, prepare for the situation, and lead the world's heroes to rise together, and it may not be impossible to show its ambitions.
After all, with the demon clans in the north and the barbarians in the south, it is impossible for the border army with the strongest combat power to return to the Central Plains.
Otherwise, Qin II at the end of Qin would not have had no soldiers available, and hurriedly asked Zhang Han to call the prisoner army of the first emperor to Xiuling.
The plan is good, the White Lotus Sect will not be defeated so simply, and if it is also played with the prestige of changing the dynasty, it is still unknown what the outcome will be.
"These White Lotus Sect members are all the elite of my headquarters, if Childe thinks they don't deserve to die, I want to entrust these soldiers and horses to Childe. Among them, the master of the Nantuo Sutra who guards Tianshui City is my father's personal disciple, who obeys my words and obeys me, and with my orders, the son is enough to command like an arm. ”
After talking for a long time, Zhang Xiaomei finally got to the point and talked about Zhao'an.
It's just that unlike what Wang Xu thought before, Zhang Xiaomei obviously doesn't trust the military department, nor does she trust those court generals.
Zhao'an definitely wants Zhao'an, but he just wants to be under Wang Xu's Zhao'an, and the soldiers and horses will be included in the new army camp, instead of being used as cannon fodder and distributed to the northern border army.
