Chapter 92: The Past
Under the towering tree, Zhou Huan and Tang Yunniang sat on the ground, and the tree planted back then was already hugged by the two of them.
"Yun Ying and I left Jingshi and went to the border pass, where there is a force I managed, I gave her those things, and returned to live in seclusion next to the White Deer Academy, at that time I thought that the bones were buried here, and only two loyal maids accompanied me.
So I didn't even see your newspapers, books, or anything, and even if you advertised that you were Chen Yunying's fiancΓ©e in Jingshi, and it turned the world upside down, the maids didn't bother me, because I was in retreat and practicing at that time to see if I could find a solution.
It wasn't until you made a big fuss in Jingshi that the maid had to wake me up from the retreat, and after reading the newspapers and books, I hurried towards Jingshi, just in time to meet you. β
"Can you confirm it's me before we meet?"
"I can't decide, but Chen Lihua told me that your body will be immortal after death, and I still hold on to half hope. β
"So you're pretending to be a little girl to lie to me?"
"You are also more than 200 years old, you are not ashamed to deceive Chen Yunying, deceive so many people, and claim to be your descendant, hum. β
"What if I didn't recognize you then?"
Zhou Huan was suddenly a little curious.
"Then I'll go, I'm very satisfied to see you, especially the actions you made to find me, I am very touched. β
There are no complaints, no playfulness, only deep thoughts, "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world, and in ten days, I will also be old and die, why bother to let you recognize me?"
There was a hint of sadness in her voice, and more of a reluctance.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. β
The prosperous White Deer Academy was deserted, and Zhou Huan and Tang Yunniang walked through it, and no one stopped them.
"When we founded this school, we wanted to be compatible and coexist, and I hoped that this school would inherit the spirit of our generation. β
Tang Yunniang looked at a towering uncle and sighed leisurely, "This tree was planted by me back then, you said back then that the spread of the True Qi Operation Method would eventually lead to earth-shaking changes, and everyone also thought so, just after Lihua became the emperor, everyone decided to build this academy."
The civil officials are conservative and the martial arts are arrogant, and the purpose of the White Deer Academy is to cultivate people with all-round development of morality, intellect and body, and form a cradle that nurtures new hopes, is this what you said?"
Zhou Huan nodded, of course he could remember the time when the group of people were talking stories around the stove.
"It's a pity, everything is as you expected, the vigorous White Deer Academy back then finally decayed day by day, the civil officials found a way to put the subset of scripture and history into the school, and the magnates used this place as a place to gild their children, the royal family played a faction in it regardless of justice, and the Nine Great Sects were silently digging corners, and the Great Liang Empire was the same, if I hadn't eliminated some moths every once in a while, the ship would have sunk a long time ago. β
As she spoke, the girl's voice suddenly became stern.
"Why are you indulging the Nine Sects, do you know how many people will die?"
The girl seemed majestic at this moment, and as time passed, she could not change or change any more.
"I know, because I want to find you. β
Zhou Huan's fingers pressed on Tang Yunniang's forehead, and the true qi slowly entered, dissolving the medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Pill for her.
"How can I find you if I don't light the beacon in the sky? From now on, all your responsibilities can be laid down. β
"But ......"
"There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the world, no matter how powerful I am, it is very dangerous to encounter a siege, I am a more cowardly person, especially before I met you, I chose to take advantage of the situation.
The Great Liang Empire is the descendant of Chen Lihua, but the Nine Great Sects also have an incense relationship with me, we don't help each other with this kind of thing, what you need now is a good cultivation. β
"What are you giving me, it feels so weird......"
"There's nothing strange about it, you should have a good rest first. β
There was a sound of fighting in the distance, but it didn't matter to Zhou Huan anymore.
Some people have gained strong strength and like to show off their might, some people like to control everything, and some people strive for higher, but for Zhou Huan, it is enough to help people who are worth helping.
The girl's body is very fragrant, just like the sugar gourd of the year.
In the following days, Zhou Huan and Tang Yunniang settled in Bailu Academy and watched the war between the nine major factions and the imperial court.
When the masters of the Nine Great Sects left the Beijing Division, they did not stop fighting, but walked along the official road in a dignified manner, facing the 200,000 Beijing camp army!
The battle of 3,000 against 200,000 is not suspenseful in terms of quantity, but why did the nine major factions dare to do this?
For a long time, people have had the idea that on the battlefield, under the rain of guns and arrows, no matter how clever the martial arts masters are, they will be grinded to death, not to mention that the martial arts masters have no discipline, fight separately, and cannot form their full strength.
However, will the Nine Great Factions really let the imperial army get their wish?
The dispatch of the 200,000 army must follow different legions, take different routes, and prepare a lot of food and grass materials along the road.
The general who led the army of the imperial court was also well aware of this, and preferred to slow down the march and keep the large armies at an appropriate distance, while there were no major problems with the supply of food and grass, and at the same time strictly ordered everyone to act in accordance with military law, and not to disobey orders - the biggest problem in the Beijing camp was internal, and the two hundred years of peace had caused the camp to be filled with too many incompetent and death-fearing people.
At the same time, the commander of the Beijing camp distributed gold and silver on a large scale, promised official positions, and promoted useful people, and even the eunuchs who came to announce the decree also said to the middle and lower officers with a pleasant face that His Majesty would definitely give a big reward.
Everyone knows that whether the prestige of the imperial court can be maintained depends on whether the Beijing camp can defeat the three thousand soldiers of the nine major factions!
When Zhou Huan serialized the biography of the Condor Heroes, a reader wrote to Zhou Huan to ask if Guo Jing rode a bloody horse and held an iron-tired bow, shot fifty ordinary Mongolian soldiers out of Xiangyang City every day, and killed more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers in a year, then with other masters, wouldn't the Mongolian cavalry automatically collapse?
Zhou Huan didn't comment on this, but the martial arts masters of this world obviously knew this, their personal combat effectiveness far exceeded that of ordinary soldiers, and the elders and grandmasters of the nine major factions came out one after another, and one by one they used the means of bullying children to exhaust the court's exploration horses, and these people could even fight if they encountered the officers and soldiers of the squad.
This is a war, a war by any means, there is no naivety in bullying the small, and there is no ban that martial arts masters cannot attack ordinary people, as for saying that the martial arts skills of the masters of the rivers and lakes are not suitable for the battlefield, don't the nine major sects know to improve?
Not long ago, the battle of 300 heavy armored infantry to defeat the forbidden army of the imperial court is the best example.
The elders and disciples of the Nine Great Sects have all learned martial arts suitable for the battlefield, those are just a little less tricks, more attacks, more injuries for injuries, and more cooperation with their companions, and the masters of the Nine Great Sects even work together to create a series of spear skills, knife techniques and shield skills suitable for the battlefield.
The first collision between the two sides ended in the victory of the Nine Great Sects, but the strength of the Beijing camp was not damaged, and several adventurous masters were ambushed by officers and soldiers and died tragically in the military formation.
The officers and soldiers continued to move forward, and the 200,000 army forced the martial arts masters to retreat step by step, one hundred miles, seventy miles, fifty miles, and thirty miles, and at this time, the imperial forest army in the capital also poured out, attacking the rear of the nine major factions, the transformed town.
Even the bold Jingying Tanma can break through the defense line of the Nine Great Factions and send a letter to Beijing, informing the Son of Heaven that victory is at hand.
The three thousand Dao soldiers of the nine major factions were compressed into a region of less than twenty miles!
Below, as long as the imperial army sets up a military formation and the whole army assaults, at most three days, the nine major factions can be annihilated in one fell swoop.
"It's going to rain. β
Zhou Huan looked at the dark clouds all over the sky, as well as the faint thunder, and sighed softly.
