Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Emperor's Order
Bifeng Mountain is located in the west of the Central Plains, the mountain is more than 400 zhang high, 17 or 8 miles back in the week, the peak cliff is steep, the mountain is extremely dangerous, the peak is the place where the Bifeng Gate is located, it seems to be located on the chaotic clouds from afar, and then more than 100 miles to the south is the junction of Xilin and the Central Plains, if Chen Yin and others come here directly, it will not take half a day.
Bifeng Mountain because of the steep mountain, except for the occasional few people going up the mountain to cut wood, it is difficult to see people, let alone outsiders, and at this moment it is different from usual, the four women have indifferent expressions, except for the leading woman in the red dress and long skirt, the other three are gray clothes and trousers, they are walking on the mountain road like flying, and it will not take long to stand at the door of the Bifeng faction on the top of the mountain.
"Who, what is the matter here?" said the disciple alertly.
The four of them stood still, and the woman in the red dress stepped forward and took out a token: "Tianyun Shu Red Mist brings the emperor's message to the head of Kong Xiaozi, go and report it quickly." ”
The disciple at the gate took the token and looked at it, not daring to slack off: "Please wait for a moment for the four girls." ”
After a while, he turned back and saluted his face: "The four adults, please go to the side hall to rest first, and the head of the sect will come later." ”
"How important is Kong Xiaozi to be busy," Si Yu said sarcastically, "and let the emperor wait for him?"
"I can't hide it," the disciple of the gate explained, knowing that these four people were not easy to offend, "It just so happens that the Tianchi Sect is now a guest in this sect..." ”
"Tianchi..."Red Mist stopped and looked at the disciple guarding the door, "Their new master... Is there any?"
"Yes, I am now talking to the head in the study. ”
"That's just right, save me the trouble of going to Tianchi Mountain again," Red Mist ordered, "Go to the study." ”
"Huh? The boss said to let the adults go to the side hall and wait..."
"Either you take us to the study," Si Yu whispered in the back, "or I'll kill you, and then we'll go to the study ourselves." ”
"You can take us there, if the head of Kongxiaozi blames it, I will carry it for you. Red Mist glared at Si Yu, who stuck out his tongue and stepped aside.
"It's... It's..."The little disciple had no choice but to take the four of them to turn around and go in the direction of the study.
Walking to the door of the study, Hongwu turned to the three people behind him and said, "Nightmare Dream Division, you three are here to wait for me." Then he didn't wait for the report, and directly followed the disciple into the study.
"Master... Lord Hong, she..."The little disciple was afraid that Kong Xiaozi would blame him, and wanted to explain.
Seeing this, Kong Xiaozi was already completely clear, waved his hand, and didn't wait for him to finish: "You go down." ”
"Empty master," Hongwu raised his hand in worship, and then turned to look at Sima Yan who was sitting in the guest seat, "This must be the new master of Tianchi, Sima Boss." ”
"Exactly. Sima Yan got up and saluted back.
"What kind of wind blew Lord Red Mist to this Bifeng Mountain," Kong Xiaozi let Red Mist sit down and said, "I didn't even want to wait for a moment, and came straight to the study." ”
"Carrying the emperor's order, I didn't dare to procrastinate, I heard that the head of the Tianchi faction was also here, so I thought that I happened to bring the emperor's order to the two, so I came over. ”
Kong Xiaozi glared: "Oh, what's the matter?"
"The emperor needs Tianchi and Bifeng to choose twenty each to help the masters of their own faction fight against Ma Siguo," Hongwu said and looked at the two heads, "Now the Xuanyue Gate Wu Quanzhuang of the Eastern Sect, the Chengshan Qingyue of the Southern Sect, and the Baiwu Temple of the Northern Sect have all made it clear that they have the intention of sending disciples to help in the war." ”
"Then among the remaining five factions, apart from us, what about the remaining three factions?" asked Sima Yan.
"The Imperial Pavilion is responsible for rushing to the southeast and north, and the Fengling Lou Dinghua sent Xueyi Villa to explain, while our Tianyun Shu is only responsible for the Gui faction in the west," Hongwu explained unhurriedly, "According to the spy newspaper arranged in Ma Si Country, Ma Si Guo has gathered more than 100 masters of Yanli from various countries since the re-establishment of Juxianzhuang, and in recent years, the strength of Shaxinglou and Tianluozhuang has not decreased and increased, and it may be difficult to win easily with the current Yanli talents of the imperial court, so this is a good time for each faction to serve the imperial court." ”
Sima Yan and Kong Xiaozi glanced at each other, Kong Xiaozi glanced at him, let him calm down for a while, and he got up and sighed: "It's not that my Bifeng is unwilling to help the court, but because there are no military and political talents in Bifeng, and they don't know how to fight, if they go to the battlefield, I'm afraid they will drag the court back." ”
"This is very comforting," Hongwu had already seen the hint of empty Xiaozi, but he didn't say anything, and continued to preach patiently, "The emperor has also thought about this situation, this time each faction only needs to send people, and the imperial court will send special generals to train them." ”
"Isn't this just looking for us to recruit soldiers? Kong Xiaozi said in one word.
"It's not bad that the empty head understands it this way. Red Mist replied.
"What if I refuse?"
Hongwu didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Sima Yan and asked slowly, "What does Master Sima mean?"
"I'm just a teacher, and I'm not very familiar with the things in charge, so I listen to the head of Xiaozi. ”
Hongwu smiled: "If I remember correctly, Tianchi and Bifeng were still in trouble some time ago, how come Tianchi is so close to Bifeng?"
"Lord Red Mist, there was a misunderstanding between the two factions before, this is a private matter between the two factions, and once the misunderstanding is resolved, it will be fine, why bother with thorns in your words?" Kong Xiaozi replied lightly.
The tone of the conversation between the three of them has quietly changed, and it is no longer as polite as at the beginning, Hongwu nodded slightly, and said, "The two heads have decided not to help the imperial court?"
"Lord Red Mist understands it that way. Kong Xiaozi said coldly.
"That's really fine, but in this case, I will have to pass on the emperor's edict," Hongwu got up, his spirit was compelling, "Sima Yan, the head of Kong Xiaozi, will summon the disciples of this sect to the hall within half an hour to welcome the emperor's edict, and those who have overtime have already defied the emperor's authority." With that, Red Mist stopped saluting, got up and walked straight out of the study.
"Empty master, this..."Sima Yan brought people to Bifeng Mountain this time, it was to inform Kong Xiaozi of the fact that Shang Zhangmen and Tianchi Giant Monster had died together, and as soon as the grievances were resolved, he met the imperial court to recruit troops here.
Kong Xiaozi looked out of the door and said, "Since there is the emperor's edict, then take it and see what it is, although you and I are not willing to be the dogs of the court, but it is not good to be too blatant to fight against it, Tianyun Shu women are each a master of assassination, Sima Zhangmen, you go and inform the disciples to the lobby, as long as our two factions do not participate in the war in unison, it is impossible for the emperor to do much decisively." ”

"Nightmare, go down the mountain immediately, bring up the two hundred sergeants in the army, and surround this place," Hongwu walked quickly towards the hall and ordered, "Si Yu Jueyun, after all the disciples of the two factions enter the hall, seal the gate, and only allow them to enter and not to leave." ”
"Yes!" As soon as Nightmare's words fell, a ball of blue rock rose, and the person was gone.
"What if there are many people who resist?" Si Yu asked.
"Not much. Red Mist said in an affirmative tone.
