Chapter 232: Reverse Phase!
July, autumn flourishing. The trees are withering and the leaves are falling everywhere.
The prosperous and lively Henghuang City in the past seems to have been infected by this breath, and there are few pedestrians on the street, and there are a lot of gloom.
And it all starts with the twist and turn that was quickly handed from Longzhou to Henghuang City.
In May, Li Yulin issued a holy decree, two fast horses sent the golden talisman of the army to Changwu Pass and Jianlong Pass respectively, the soldiers were in full swing, and Qiu Qianping and Jiang Zhichen, who were full of thoughts about opening up the territory and making immortal achievements, were dissatisfied, but after all, they did not dare to disobey this holy order, and they collected their troops and returned to the pass, but when passing through Longzhou, the two national pillars were left behind.
In fact, the word "block" fell here, which is extremely inappropriate, but in order to save the face of the Great Xia court, in the external documents, the ceremonial officials used such a word.
But to be precise, these two pillars were imprisoned.
Cui Guozhu of Longzhou took advantage of the night to lead the army to attack, smashed Huanglong, and took the two national pillars into the Cui family boss in the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the 500,000 troops in the hands of the two national pillars were leaderless, and more than 100,000 took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the remaining 400,000 troops were all detained.
Since the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, except for thirty years ago, when Li Wenjing was shot by Lin Shou and was sick in bed, and the rebellion of 80,000 heirs, it can be said that such a thing has never happened.
At this moment, in the Dayang Palace of Henghuang City, Li Yulin was knocking on the desk in front of him expressionlessly, and there was a fold on it.
The civil and military officials in the audience seemed to feel the anger in the emperor's heart, and they lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Everyone, Aiqing, say something. Li Yulin's voice suddenly sounded at that time, and his tone was low, like the language of a beast in the forest.
When the hundreds of officials in the audience heard this, their bodies trembled, and the scene became more and more silent.
Seeing this, Li Yulin's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he asked again, "Don't you want to say anything?"
"The minister thinks that the top priority is to find out what Cui Ting wants to do?" At this time, Li Moding gritted his teeth and came out of the crowd, and said at that time.
"What do you want to do?" But Li Yulin, who heard this, showed a smile on his face, and then the emperor stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and patted the desk in front of him: "Even my national pillar dares to be detained, what do you say he wants to do? He wants to rebel!!"
Li Yulin's voice is like a grandiose, and the aftermath reverberates in the Dayang Palace for a long time.
Everyone was silent, and Li Moding's face was even pale.
And when the aftermath landed, someone stepped out again, but it was the Taifu of Great Xia, the great sage of Confucianism and Taoism, Du Pingce.
His face was calm, and he didn't see any panic, and only after bowing respectfully did he whisper: "Cui Ting's move is really unexpected, but it can also be seen from the previous ignorance of His Majesty's holy decree to send troops. But although Cui Ting was born in a martial arts, after all, he has been in the Great Xia City Mansion for many years, and he is by no means a reckless man who only cares about his immediate interests. ”
Either out of respect for Du Pingce's Confucian and Taoist immortals, or really feel that what the other party said is reasonable. Hearing this, Li Yulin was not as irritable as before, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is Aiqing's opinion?"
Du Pingce, who heard this, shook his head: "I can't talk about high opinions, but since Cui Ting has done this big rebellious thing, obviously this is just the beginning, what he wants to do next, how much energy he can have, is not something that His Majesty and his ministers can measure by talking on paper here at this moment, I think Your Majesty should make plans as soon as possible, and enter to eliminate the chaotic party, so as to set an example and promote my heavenly prestige." Retreat can consolidate the foundation and keep the yuan, save the community, in case of accidents. ”
After saying this, Du Pingce retreated, and the civil and military officials were silently looking at the emperor on the high platform.
After a long time, the expressionless Li Yulin's eyes suddenly lit up with a divine light.
"Pass on my holy decree, the Holy Yang Army will be launched on the same day and return to defend the Henghuang City!"
......
Longzhou Prefecture, Tuowen City.
Cui Dazhu Golden Knife sat in the dungeon of Tuowen City, with two ragged men covered in blood tied to two wooden stakes in front of him. Their appearance was extremely embarrassed, and their skinned faces made it hard to imagine that these two people were still hot figures in this Great Summer before yesterday.
Cui Ting looked at the two people for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand, and two figures stepped out under the shadow behind him, each of them carrying a big wooden pass, and when they walked in front of the two people, the wooden barrel was held high by them, and the smelly water in the bucket was poured down the heads of the two people at that time, drenching all over their bodies.
Something strange had obviously been put into the clear water, and where the clear water flowed, the already bloody scabbed wounds of the two men flowed blood again, and the great pain woke up the unconscious two, and they let out a heart-rending wail again. And this wailing did not cease until a few dozen breaths had passed.
"Did you two wake up, did you sleep well?" Cui Ting asked with a smile.
"Cui Ting, you traitor!"
"The Cui family has been loyal and martyred for generations, and its reputation has been ruined by your hands!
The two of them were also iron-clad, and after recovering from the initial severe pain, they didn't even have the slightest words of begging for mercy, staring at Cui Ting with wide eyes and scolding.
"If this matter reaches the ears of the Holy Lord, the Holy Yang Army is estimated to have opened at this moment and is on the way to take your dog's life!"
"When the Shengyang Army breaks the city, you Cui Ting will not die well, your wife and daughter will be prostitutes, and you will be humiliated, and your men will be slaves for generations, and they will never be able to turn over!"
The vicious words of the two fell on Cui Ting's ears, but he seemed to have never heard of them, he leisurely plucked out his ears, and listened quietly to the scolding of the two.
It wasn't until half an hour had passed that the two of them stopped.
"Enough of the two of you?" he asked with a frown and a smile. Then he stood up, walked over to the two of them, and said, "Then let's go ahead and talk about cooperation, shall we?"
"Phew, you chaotic minister and thief, my Qiu family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, even if they die, they will never be with you!"
"Yes, my Jiang family has received the emperor's favor, how can I be with you, a generation of flies and dogs, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it. ”
The attitude of the two national pillars was extremely resolute, which made Cui Ting frown.
"It's not going to be easy. He muttered in distress, "Cui has always respected the two of them, and I wanted them to conspire with me, but I didn't know that the two of them were so stubborn, which really made Cui embarrassed..."
With that, he lowered his head and paced back and forth beside the two of them, muttering, "How is this good?"
Seeing him behaving like this, the two of them turned cold.
"Hmm. Suddenly, Cui Ting stopped his steps, his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and he said excitedly: "Then you can only kill the two." ”
After saying this, a cold light lit up from Cui Ting's hand at that time, and flashed at the necks of the two people, so the light in the eyes of the two people stagnated, and a blood line appeared from their necks, and the blood poured out, and the brilliance in the eyes of the two people quickly receded with the overflow of blood, and they completely lost their vitality in an instant.
"Lord Guozhu, this..."Seeing this, a man dressed as an attendant behind Cui Ting hurriedly stepped forward and said with an ugly face. Their plan is not like this, or the two pillars of the kingdom are of great use to them, and those who die are not only useless, but also a great scourge.
"What's the panic?" Cui Ting glanced at the attendant behind him, and said unhappily, one of his hands suddenly stretched out, and he snapped his fingers lightly.
Suddenly, two black gases rushed out of his body, and they escaped into the two corpses that had long since lost their breath.
I saw that the two corpses were trembling at that time, and the wounds on their bodies were also repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye with this trembling, and in the blink of an eye, the two corpses suddenly stopped.
Then their lowered heads suddenly lifted, and the darkness in their eyes infected their entire eyeballs, they looked at Cui Ting, their lips opened, and said, "Master." ”
......
"Xiao Han! It's terrible! It's terrible!" In the Sword Holding Mansion, Xu Han, who was discussing with Nangong Jing whether he should hold another sword holding competition to expand the weak strength of the Sword Holding Pavilion, suddenly heard a panicked shout from outside the mansion gate.
Without thinking about it, Xu Han heard the owner of this voice for the first time, and it was naturally that Chu Qiu.
Xu Han stopped Nangong Jing's conversation, looked in the direction of the mansion gate with heavy eyes, and saw the middle-aged man rushing into the sword-wielding mansion with an anxious face, turning a deaf ear to the two rows of sword-wielding people standing solemnly on both sides of the mansion gate, and walked straight to Xu Han's side.
Then he found a place to sit down very casually, picked up the teacup on the desk and drank it all, only then did he seem to ease up, and said: "Xiao Han, don't you know, there is a big movement in the Henghuang City today, a big movement!"
Xu Han naturally guessed what the big movement in Chu Qiuli's mouth was, but he still patiently satisfied the middle-aged man's desire to talk, and asked, "What big move?"
"There are a lot of armor soldiers, densely standing all over the city, all the big red armor, embroidered with sun-like things, the row of brushes, looking at it is not an ordinary army, I heard people, what is it called... What the... The Holy Sheep Army?"
"Alas, you say that the people of Great Xia are strange, I have heard of the tiger and leopard horse, the euphorbia, and the Qinglong army, but I have never heard of the Holy Sheep Army, it looks amazing, but the name is not good, how can this sheep beat the tiger and leopard? No wonder I always have no way to take that little Chen Guo. Do you think, the two sides lined up in formation, and as soon as they signed up, they said that they were tigers and leopards, and they said that they were sheep, and they lost half of this momentum, how to fight?"
Chu Qiuli seemed to have been opened into a chatterbox, chattering endlessly about his own set of self-taught "military theories", Xu Han listened to it a lot, and he didn't know how to correct Chu Qiuli's misunderstanding between this holy yang and the holy sheep.
But Xu Han was not surprised by this matter, he had heard such rumors before, he was just worried about what it meant behind it, Cui Ting detained the two national pillars, as well as the 400,000 army in their hands, turned a blind eye to the documents issued by the court, and there was a tendency to support the army and stand on its own, although the outside world thought that Cui Ting was hitting the stone with an egg, but Xu Han felt that things would never be so simple.
He knew very well that there might be a shadow of Senluo Hall behind this, and with his understanding of Senluo Palace, the other party would never do anything risky, and once he did, it must be well-planned. At this moment, the posture in the Henghuang City was like a great enemy, which was a good confirmation of Xu Han's worries.
"Let's talk, I still have something to do, go first. Nangong Jing's temperament has always been calm, and she naturally doesn't like Chu Qiuli who is like a river, she saw this middle-aged man come out to stir up the situation, so she simply stood up, said a word, and didn't wait for Xu Han to respond, then turned around and walked away with many sword-wielding people in the mansion.
Xu Han didn't stop it, he didn't wait until Nangong Jing walked away before he looked at Chu Qiu and said, "The red note called you here, right?"
Hearing this, Chu Qiuli's face suddenly changed, and he said proudly: "Brother, what are these words, you and I are lifelong friends, how could I succumb to the threat of that little girl on the red note and come here to inquire about information?"
This non-confessional remark, Chu Qiuli said it with great righteousness, and Xu Han couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Since Cui Ting's matter reached Henghuang City, it has been four or five days since he returned to the palace, and he has been busy dealing with all aspects of affairs in the Sword Holding Pavilion, after all, no one can say that in such a chaotic period, the ill-intentioned Xie Min will not take advantage of the fire to rob. And this naturally inevitably had to be discussed with Nangong Jingduo, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of that Miss Ye.
"Okay, of course Xu knows what Brother Chu is like, and the things of the past few days have come to an end, if Brother Chu is free, he will accompany me back to the house. Saying that, Xu Han stood up, and when Chu Qiuli saw this, he immediately smiled and nodded again and again.
"Yes, yes, it's time to take a good rest after working so hard. Such an eager look fell in Xu Han's eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly think that Chu Qiuli had not been coerced and lured by Ye Hongjian these days...
......
Back in the house, I don't know if he was playing petty or for other reasons, Xu Han didn't see Ye Hongjian, who he hadn't seen for a few days.
In the main house of Nuoda, only Fang Ziyu sat boredly drinking tea in the house, and the rest of the people were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing Xu Han coming, Miss Fang stood up in a flash, and walked over quickly: "The surname is Xu, are you back?"
Miss Fang's enthusiasm greatly exceeded Xu Han's expectations, Xu Han couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "What about them?"
Fang Ziyu suddenly showed a look of distress on his face, and said unhappily: "Yan Shu took Xue Ning away, saying that he was going back to the sect, he didn't know what to do, he was still practicing martial arts with Xiao Mu'an, and the two little children didn't know what to practice, and the red note was also busy cultivating, and no one played with me!"
Fang Ziyu muttered, and then looked at Xu Han's eyes with a light lit up: "Fortunately, you're back, otherwise I'd be bored to death!"
Xu Han couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, this Fang Ziyu has always been this child's heart, and he can't change it.
"You, I'm not afraid that one day the second master will come to the door and ask you how your cultivation is, and you won't be able to pay the errand. Xu Han said with a smile, but he didn't mean much harshness.
But Fang Ziyu, who mentioned Ghost Bodhi, changed her face, but on her face, she waved her hand calmly and said: "That old witch, my aunt doesn't care about her for the sake of his age, do you think I'm really afraid of her?"
Xu Han naturally wouldn't try to expose Fang Ziyu's lie when he heard this, he smiled and was about to say something.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days, my kid fish cultivation has not grown, but the kung fu has a little bit of Xiao Xuzi's heat. At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the room.
As soon as the voice came out, Xu Han and the others were face changed, but before they could react, a purple figure had already landed in front of Fang Ziyu. A thin hand as tender as white jade stretched out, grabbing, pinching, and twisting.
Then Miss Fang's cry of pain rose from the door of this mansion, and it lasted for a long time...
After ten breaths, Fang Ziyu stood aggrievedly aggrieved, tilting his head and constantly rubbing his hot ears, but his eyes were staring straight at Xu Han, and he said angrily: "The surname Xu, your broken mouth was opened by the Buddha?"
Xu Han smiled bitterly, he glanced at Fang Ziyu apologetically, and then turned his head to look at the purple-eyed girl who was sitting on the chair calmly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said: "The second master mother didn't say a word when she came, and we didn't prepare at all." ”
"Said words. The purple-eyed girl who looked the same age as Fang Ziyu picked up the tea cup in front of the table and took a sip, then raised her head and glared at Xu Han: "Then can't you hear how you say bad things about me?"
When Xu Han heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to entangle with this ghost Bodhi on this topic at all.
"I don't know why the second master came this time?" he hurriedly changed the subject and asked at that time.
"What's the matter? It's not all you little bastards, let my aunt and grandmother break my heart!"
"Mengliang's kid doesn't know where to hide, I have been looking for more than half a month, but I can't find any trace of him. What about you, tell you to leave the place as soon as you are done, and you will not listen, and you will make me the master of the Sword Pavilion. Why? I don't want Miss Nangong's life for the sake of that! And you! How many times have you said that you will be able to cultivate well, what about you? You know that you are idle, with your talent, if you have half of Xiao Xuzi's hard work, how can you still be in the realm of leaving the dust?" Ghost Bodhi said with an old-fashioned face, and the tone of his tone was slowly filled with anger that hated iron and could not become steel.
But whether it is the lawless Miss Fang, or the ruthless Butcher Xu in the eyes of outsiders, in the face of this girl's reprimand, they are like children who have done something wrong, with their heads down and silent.
Ghost Bodhi chattered for a long time, seeing that the two of them kept their heads down and never replied, probably because they thought that Xu Han's attitude of admitting their mistakes was not bad, and her anger was mostly gone, so she said at that time: "Okay, let's not talk about this, now you guys quickly pack up your things and leave here with me!"
"Huh?" Xu Han's face changed.
"Why?" Fang Ziyu asked loudly.
"There is going to be a big incident in Henghuang City, don't you see that the forbidden army of the emperor Lao'er has been sent out? Shengyang Army? That is the hole card that Li Wenjing didn't take out until he died, and now it has been turned over by Li Yulin, do you really think this is a trivial matter?" Ghost Bodhi said in a calm voice.
"But..."Fang Ziyu obviously couldn't accept this sudden fact, and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Shengsheng.
"You shut up for me, Xiao Xuzi, you are the most sensible, you hurry up and pack your things. Ghost Bodhi said at that time.
Xu Han's face changed on the side, as if he was measuring something, and after hearing Ghost Bodhi's words, he pondered for a while, and then said: "I know that Shiniang is for our good, but this matter... It is difficult for Xu Han to obey his fate. ”
Ghost Bodhi suddenly became angry, and she glared at Xu Han: "Do you know what will happen in Henghuang City?"
"Xu..."Xu Han was about to respond to Ghost Bodhi's words, but before the words came out, Ghost Bodhi grabbed Xu Han's clothes, and then a violent True Yuan poured out of Ghost Bodhi's body at that time, she carried Xu Han's body and rushed out of the courtyard gate, and then suddenly rose tall. Xu Han was twisted by the ghost Bodhi like a chicken, and in the exclamations of Chu Qiuli and Fang Ziyu, he continued to rise towards the sky.
After Xu Han was stunned for a short time, he reacted, although he was both strange and shocked by Ghost Bodhi's move in his heart, but at the same time, he also believed that Ghost Bodhi's plan had no possibility of harming him, so he quickly suppressed the horror in his heart.
Ghost Bodhi's cultivation can be described as unfathomable, at this moment she seems to have moved a little bit of anger, the true yuan in her body was urged by him, the speed can be described as extremely fast, even with Xu Han's immortal body at such a speed, there is some discomfort, that rapid movement, the air flow that cuts through the air makes Xu Han's body burst into tears of pain.
That Bodhi seemed to feel this as well, her face sank, and a purple True Yuan enveloped Xu Han, which relieved Xu Han's severe pain.
"Second Master, where are you taking me?" Seeing her like this, Xu Han secretly thought that the other party's anger had disappeared a lot, so he asked boldly.
But Ghost Bodhi ignored him, still pulling his body and constantly flying towards the sky.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Xu Han had reached a height of thousands of feet that he had never reached before, and at this time, Ghost Bodhi stopped. She pointed to her feet with a cold face: "Look!"
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, but still looked down as he said. Xu Han, who was already ten thousand feet in the sky, the Henghuang City under his feet had turned into a square land that was not as big as the size of his palm, and it was above this square land that a true dragon with a red color as rich as blood was entrenched on it, and the blood-red aura around his body continued to disperse into the distance and was linked into a red line in mid-air, Xu Han looked along the red line, but saw that the dispersed red aura was invariably rushing to the south far away from the Henghuang City, and flocking to Longzhou, where Cui Ting was located!
And above Nalongzhou, a dragon has been condensed and formed, his appearance is fierce, his eyes are red, and above the huge dragon head, there are two dragon horns as hideous as barbs.
Xu Han's eyes widened suddenly, and it was self-evident what all this meant in front of him, but these were not the reasons why Xu Han was so surprised, the real reason was because...
This dragon is neither yellow nor green, neither red nor purple.
It's like an infinite abyss, the extreme...
Black!
