Chapter 206 Cause and Effect
Somewhere in the country, Shangguan Xiaobai's secret stronghold.
"It worked!
Using the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother and the Sand Hill Heavenly God to refine the Red Face Eternal Resident Pill, it was finally completed with the joint efforts of many alchemists.
"Congratulations to the Holy Maiden!"
Everyone knelt down and congratulated.
Shangguan Xiaobai swallowed the Hongyan Eternal Residence Pill in one gulp, and he didn't feel anything special, this kind of pill can only prevent people from becoming old, and it can't improve their strength, so naturally it won't have an immediate effect.
"Get up, now that Our Lady of the Yellow Lotus is dead, the red light that leads the world is gone, the red light no longer exists, and I am no longer a saint. ”
"The ...... of the Holy Maiden"
Everyone is naturally reluctant to disband, but they have invested a lot of emotion and youth, if they are disbanded, they will have nothing in an instant, all the efforts they have made before will be useless, and their status will plummet.
Shangguan Xiaobai said again: "Although the red light is gone, a new empire will appear, and this empire will rule the entire continent." ”
Shangguan Xiaobai's face showed a little madness, "I want to establish an eternal empire, it is impossible for the world to leave no eternal water at all, our task is to completely conquer the world kingdom and unify the entire continent by the way!"
After all, the Hongyan Eternal Pill is only refined by two gods, and it only has the effect of youth and immortality, and it cannot make people immortal, Shangguan Xiaobai doesn't like that her red face will dissipate a little, she will either get more gods, or go to snatch the eternal water.
And all this could not avoid the war with the Tianxia Kingdom, Shangguan Xiaobai immediately made a crazy decision to prepare to build a powerful empire that could compete with the Tianxia Kingdom, and then destroy the Tianxia Kingdom.
As for the Departure God Continent, when the time comes, it will only be reunified by the way.
Everyone was shocked by Shangguan Xiaobai's words, but more of them went crazy, they were a group of believers, but they were transferred from the Yellow Lotus Holy Mother to Shangguan Xiaobai, and now Shangguan Xiaobai's words are absolute, and no one will doubt it.
After years of infiltration into various countries, they also have this strength.
On this day, a country like Chu Jing's Apocalypse, without a national capital, no city and people of its own, but with great potential, was born.
Shangguan Xiaobai called it the Eternal Empire, as long as Shangguan Xiaobai did not die, this empire would be a village forever.
Immediately after that, everyone began to get busy, began to prepare for the establishment of the empire, and orders were distributed at the same time.
In Tiannan Mansion, Zeng Fangzhou is here, he is more curious about overseas people, and Tiannan Mansion is the strongest city in the south, there is no one, Shen Yunhe is also sitting here, it is very necessary for him to come here to brush up on a wave of favorability.
When passing by a vendor, the vendor suddenly shouted loudly: "Bitter coptis chinensis, cheap sale, cheap sale!"
Zeng Fangzhou was stunned for a moment, and said to the guards beside him: "You go back first, I'll scatter my mind by myself." ”
"Your Excellency......" The leader of the guards was a little reluctant.
Zeng Fangzhou frowned, his voice was a little angry, and he reprimanded: "Do you think that with my strength, I can't deal with a little Xiaoxiao." ”
In the Lishen Continent, anyone who has money left in the family will send their children to learn martial arts for a few days, and if they don't become masters, it's good to keep fit, and although Zeng Fangzhou is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a civil official, his martial arts are not bad at all.
The leader of the guard did not dare to say anything and left with the others.
Zeng Fangzhou paid attention to several vendors, and finally came to the vendor who was selling just now, and asked, "How do you suffer from this coptis chinensis?"
The vendor nodded and said enthusiastically: "This Coptis is not Bi Huanglian, the bitter festival cannot be chaste, and the food can be longevity." ”
Zeng Fangzhou replied: "Don't you see licorice, there are all kinds of medicines." ”
He lowered his voice and asked, "But does the saint have a mission?"
The vendor did not answer, but handed Zeng Fangzhou a pair of wrapped medicinal herbs.
After Zeng Fangzhou paid the money, he hurriedly walked to his residence, returned to the room, and confirmed that there was no one else, Zeng Fangzhou opened the package, and the medicinal herbs were scattered directly on the table, leaving only the wrapped paper.
There is not a word on the paper, it needs to be interpreted in a special way.
Zeng Fangzhou directly spread the paper on the ground, took out the fire fold, and gently lit the paper, and waited until it was all turned into ashes, but left a dozen words:
Help the Seven Princes take down the Kingdom of Faith, then kill it, and replace it.
Zeng Fangzhou was stunned, he didn't expect the Holy Maiden to suddenly give herself such a difficult task.
The Seventh Prince hasn't mastered much troops, and with the current situation, he can't even defeat Jinning City, so what can he do to take Xinguo.
The later statement of killing and replacing it is also different from the previous one, even if it really helps the Seventh Prince to ascend to the throne, but if he rebels immediately, I am afraid that it will cause great chaos in the country of Xin, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Zeng Fangzhou didn't know what Shangguan Xiaobai thought, because he got too little information.
However, if it was such a big thing as seizing the entire kingdom of faith, other people who were loyal to the Holy Maiden would definitely take action, and perhaps they would know that there would be more information.
Zeng Fangzhou first went to meet the city lord of Tiannan Mansion and told him in detail about the powerful relationship between the Seven Princes and him, and then agreed to the throne and asked the city lord to hand over part of the military power.
"Zewen, you and I are old friends, you and I both know the situation in Tiannan Mansion, overseas people are just barbarians, where do they know how to attack the city, not to mention that there is the number one master of Xinguo in Tiannan Mansion today, who dares to touch his brows. ”
Through Zeng Fangzhou's understanding of affection and reason, Tiannan Mansion once again lent 30,000 soldiers, leaving only 40,000 to maintain daily order in the city.
Zeng Fangzhou took 30,000 people and immediately left Tiannan Mansion and went to the next city, what the Seven Princes couldn't do doesn't mean he can't do it, not to mention, some of these people have something to do with the previous red light.
By the time Zeng Fangzhou had left several cities, there were already as many as 70,000 soldiers behind him, and at this time, he saw a person he didn't expect.
Wei Chi was wearing a purple robe, riding a white horse, and with a young appearance, he looked like a rich boy who was playing.
Zeng Fangzhou immediately invited the lieutenant to his carriage and asked solemnly: "Didn't you 'die' with the emperor, how did you come back to life, your appearance was spread by other people with ulterior motives, do you know the consequences." ”
The lieutenant was very calm, leaning on the carriage, and the thick cushion did not feel too bumpy.
"Don't be nervous, I originally followed the emperor and had to die, but what, saint, no, the empress knows that you lack a master here, so she has to send me. ”
"Empress?" Zeng Fangzhou wondered if he had misheard.
"Not bad!" Wei Chi became serious, "The Holy Mother of Yellow Lotus was killed by the Holy Maiden, the red light no longer exists, the former Holy Maiden, who is now the Empress, decided to build a huge empire, and the Kingdom of Faith is only a small part of it. ”
Zeng Fangzhou has been staying by the side of the Seven Princes, and he doesn't know much about what happened, and he doesn't even know as much as Chen Hunt, who directly participated in the Star Dou Great Array, which also shows that the secrecy work is very good.
After that, Wei Chi took the trouble to introduce to Zeng Fangzhou in detail about Shangguan Xiaobai, as well as the plan.
"But if you go to see the Seventh Prince like this, it will definitely arouse his suspicions. Zeng Fangzhou still felt that something was wrong.
"Doubt?" said with a slow smile, "What about doubt, now he has soldiers and generals under him, but he still lacks a master in charge, no matter what, he has to accept my help." ”
"What about the other princes......"
"They are all our enemies, is it necessary for us to explain as much as the enemy?"
Zeng Fangzhou was right to think about it, the current situation is chaotic enough, and it may be even more chaotic in the future, when the overall situation is decided, the Seven Princes will also die, and Xinguo will cease to exist, at that time, who will care about the death of the old emperor of Xinguo.
"That's right. Zeng Fangzhou remembered something that he had been doubting for a long time, and took this opportunity to ask, "Is General Chu really dead?"
Wei Chi showed a vigilant expression, but only he and Zeng Fangzhou replied: "Originally, this matter should be rotten in the stomach, at least it can't be talked about before breaking with the world country, but the empress already has the determination to do something to the world country, and you are your own person, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”
Zeng Fangzhou pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the truth that countless people wanted to know.
Wei Chi said: "This Chu Feixiong was originally a person from the world country, and it is also an extremely special talent, it is said that there is a woman with a similar talent in the world country, and the lord of the world country gave the two of them a marriage in order to pass on this talent." ”
"However, that woman is extremely ugly, Chu Feixiong is extremely talented, and he is a high-minded and arrogant person, where is he willing to wronged himself to marry an ugly woman as his wife, so he asked to withdraw from the marriage. ”
"Alas, how can the emperor's order be disobeyed, Chu Feixiong has no right to speak in the world country, he was forced to be helpless, and left the world country directly and began to live incognito. ”
"His talent is too peculiar, how can the lord of the world really give him a crime, but disobeying the emperor's order and evading the marriage of the lord of the country is a great crime, simply, the world will not hunt down Chu Feixiong, let this matter fade with time, and in the end, it will be over. ”
Zeng Fangzhou knew that there must be a follow-up to this, and asked, "And then?"
Then, then Chu Feixiong married a wife and had children in Xinguo. ”
Zeng Fangzhou said angrily: "I mean after that!"
Wei Chi didn't hesitate before he said slowly: "After all, Chu Feixiong is extremely strong, and he doesn't know how to hide it, so he gradually became known as the number one master of Xinguo, and he also became the general of Zhenguo for some reason. The first emperor has always been afraid of him, don't you know that Chu Feixiong actually has no interest in the so-called Xinguo. ”
"The people of the world have observed Chu Feixiong's son, but they didn't find that he inherited Chu Feixiong's talent, so they didn't move him. ”
"However, although the countries around the country of heaven are getting stronger and stronger, the lord of the country of heaven feels the threat from the neighborhood, so he has formulated a plan, preparing to unite all the countries that are hostile to the country of heaven with the country of faith, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”
Zeng Fangzhou thought of those assassinated officials and sighed, "Many extremely good companions have also died." ”
The lieutenant did not hesitate to express his opinion on the death of those companions, and perhaps one day, they too would fall for the purpose of their hearts.
His goal is really far away, there is a sword Yanhong, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to follow behind Shangguan Xiaobai.
After a pause, Wei Chi said: "The lord of the world country threatened Chu Feixiong's family who stayed in the world country, after all, it was a great crime for him to resist the order at that time, and it would also implicate his wife and son. ”
He suddenly wondered, "Who are Chu Feixiong's wife and son, why has all the information about them disappeared, and there is no one who knows about them." ”
Zeng Fangzhou shook his head, "I only know the Holy Maiden...... No, Her Highness knows that. You can continue to talk about Chu Feixiong's affairs on the battlefield. ”
"What's more, the coalition army was invincible before, it was just the lord of the world who cleared out the dissidents, and in the back, Chu Feixiong brought the coalition army to the ambush circle, and the coalition army was basically defeated without resistance, saying that both sides were defeated, but it was just an official face. ”
"As for the so-called Chu Feixiong and the three masters who died of exhaustion, it was just acting, the fight was intense, and the scene was also very cool, but that's all. ”
Zeng Fangzhou understood by now that things were not as complicated as he imagined, and Chu Feixiong should also return to the world now, but the treatment would definitely not be very small, and I don't know if he would marry that ugly woman.
Zeng Fangzhou said: "That's it, you haven't said what kind of talent Chu Feixiong has." ”
Wei Chi tilted his head, leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, "How do I know, I know that there are only so many, and if there are more, you need to go and ask Her Royal Highness the Empress in person." ”
It must be very difficult to be favored by the lord of the world, Zeng Fangzhou is really a little curious, but he doesn't want to trouble Shangguan Xiaobai because of this little thing.
It's just that he got so much secret from Wei Chi from here, which could have been considered a violation of the canon.
I don't know if the so-called canon will also be replaced after the red light is disbanded.
Zeng Fangzhou still had to work hard to win the country, but he didn't have time to care about these things.
......
On the other side, the offensive and defensive battle between the Seven Princes and Jinning City has not yet ended.
Outside the south gate of Jinning City, a rudimentary fortification has gradually taken shape.
These days, the number of interferences by the army in Jinning City has also increased, especially at night, and they will even rush over directly to destroy the fortifications.
Zhang San and Li Shi were busy with this small fortification every day, and they were often awakened by the sound of fighting outside in the middle of the night.
Zhang San and Li Shi gathered in front of the tunnel behind the fortifications, and Zhang San sighed: "These days, the initiative is in the hands of Jinning City, they can come over whenever they want, they are annoying!"
Li Xi also had two big black circles under his eyes, and said helplessly: "Soon, soon, most of the tunnel has been dug up, and in ten days, it may be able to be dug through." ”
The two looked at the end of the tunnel drawings, where the back garden of a rich family in the city, in addition to the fact that the back garden was relatively large and empty, the most important thing was that they learned that the family had already slipped away before their army arrived.
Even if the Xiao family makes compensation, most businessmen are still greedy for life and afraid of death, they have money and enjoy the pleasures that most people can't enjoy, how can they not cherish their lives.
When everything can be linked to money, the lives of the rich are especially precious, and even killers do not need a lot of money to kill them.
Ten days! After ten days, Zhang San and Li Xi were ready to carry out a total of them, and the construction of the fortifications could be said to have no effect at all, and if the tunnel failed again, they should consider how to persuade the Seven Princes to withdraw from the army.
